I was surprised to see a familiar video at LiveLeak today. The video I made showing the time-lapse of the Singapore Flyer Construction was uploaded by LiveLeaker Perky.

However the video uploaded was not the original one I posted at Youtube, Revver and MetaCafe. The front and end portions were removed. The video was also cropped into a smaller view because the sides had the URL of my blog site.

Wowowee is a game show telecast in Phillipines. Hosted by Willie Revillame, contestants participate in different segments of the show. In one segment called "Willyonaryo Winame", contestants have to pick one numbered boxes in hopes of winning the prize money of P$2,000,000. Each box has a unique number.

In the episode on Aug 20, there were 2 boxes that were numbered "0" which indicated possibilities that the show could be rigged.

Unlock at your own risk.
We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my collegue must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. I was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, this is for shure the most difficult part of the whole process.

Prior to the football match between Darby high school and Davidson high school, hundreds of Darby fans were instructed by the trio to hold up placards to form the sentence, "Go Darby", to cheer on the Darby Panthers

of roomsdb.net promotion - singapore bloggers, earn money here

I think many would have heard about roomsDB.net. But for those who have not heard, well roomsDB.net is a room rental portal that provides a platform for anyone who wants to find or rent out a room.

Founded by Sebastian Ang, this site boasts a large database spanning not only rooms located in Singapore but also rooms located in other countries like Malaysia, Taiwan, China and Australia.

Using the site is fairly easy and user-friendly. If you need to look for rooms, just click on "read offers". And if you want to rent out rooms, just click on "post offers". That simple.

But what's amazing is the long long long long lists of rooms in its huge database. And if one finds the list is too long, no worries. The portal allows you to customise the listing according to room types, rental rates and location. So you can naroow down to what you want.

Once you have selected a room, details and description of the room and the contact details of the agent/landlord will be displayed. The location of the room will also be shown (Thanks to Google Maps).

If you are damn desperate in getting new updates, you can turn to RSS. Yes, this site offers RSS feeds. Quite thoughtful.

So if you want to look for rooms, use roomsDB.net. It has a comprehensive list of rooms. And if you've got a room to rent out, roomsDB.net has a large viewership. So chances of your room being rented out should be higher.

Enough said, click on roomsDB.net - rent a room in Singapore.
