of my singapore flyer video tio pwn by someone in liveleak

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.

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. I don't know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream...they got such a fright. I will post a photo of the iphone... To everybody out there, be carefull....

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.

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.
