.sg Domain Is The 10th Riskiest In The World

Hoohoohoo, I saw many bloggers like to use .sg domain woh……

THE next time you click on an unfamiliar website ending with .sg, think twice.

Spam masters are zeroing in on the .sg domain. Singapore was singled out as the 10th-riskiest domain out of 104 worldwide in a recently released McAfee report – and the rise of such sites, said experts, could cause Internet users worldwide to lose trust in Singapore websites.

The report warned that more .sg domains are being used for phishing and spam activities and to serve up viruses – almost one out of every 20 (4.6 per cent) tested by the security company this year.

The jump is spectacular – from just 0.3 per cent last year to 4.6 per cent this year.

In contrast, Hong Kong and Japan were noted for their “aggressive steps to clamp down on scam-related registrations” and stricter registration requirements for domain names.

Finding Your Way Is So Easy With M20 From Garmin-Asus

Ah Ben is a friend of mine. We have known each other for a very long time. Though we don’t contact each other often, we do meet up once a while. Ah Ben is in sales line, and travels to Malaysia very often.

Over the weekend, I received an MMS from Ah Ben. It was a photo of a monument. An SMS followed that said “Hey hey, long time never meet up. I am standing in front of the monument in the photo right now. Do you know where this place is? If you can find me within 20 minutes, Starbucks on me!”.

He was, actually, just joking, because he had attached the location information in his MMS. This is one of the function of Garmin-Asus M20 (Yes, Ah Ben has gotten himself a set of M20 not long ago). When GPS is ON, location information will be attached to photos we take using the phone. And, when we want to send the photo as MMS, we will be asked if we want to attach the location information together with the message. The recipient can see the location information straightaway in the MMS. In my case, I was using this M20 when I received the MMS. I could even click on the “GoTo” link, to activate the GPS system and guide me to that stated location. Actually, it is not just MMS, whenever there is an address in a SMS, email message, the phone can recognize it, and create a “GoTo” link. As long as the recipient is also using a Garmin-Asus smart phone, the “GoTo” link can be clicked and start navigation to the location. This is so easy!

Upon clicking on the “GoTo” link, Garmin system can navigate the user to the location, or just show the map of that location.

An address in SMS will also be converted to a “GoTo” link.

I found Ah Ben within 20 minutes. When we were enjoying our Starbuck drinks (on him of cause, sales people earns a lot you know?), he told me that he bought M20 for the built-in GPS system, especially it covers Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. Very often he has to meet new customers at their locations. Now, he just open customers’ email or SMS in his M20, and click on the address given by them, straightaway he start finding his way to his meeting places. It is much more convenient for him. I understand how happy he is with his M20. Same goes to me, when I need to find my way to a new place on the island.

Ah Ben also talked to me about the Live-Navigation Challenge. He had already registered long time ago. He was aiming the top prize, the air tickets to Maldives. He even postponed a meeting which was originally scheduled on that Saturday morning, just to make sure that he can attend.

How about you my readers? Have you registered at Live-Navigation Challenge microsite? Have you join Garmin-Asus Fans Page as a fan? What are waiting for since it is FREE?

Singapore’s Top 10 Grossest Foods – CNN Go

The list goes like this:

1. Stir-fried pig fallopian tubes

The very thought of eating fallopian tubes will have most recoiling in horror, but imagine the bragging rights you’ll earn. The texture is almost crunchy and springy but yielding to the bite. The chopped tubes carry kung pao sauce particularly well.

2. Stinky fermented tofu

Possibly Asia’s answer to stinky cheese. This is tofu fermented in a brine (sometimes with maggots on top). The resulting potent smell will make you wonder if an open sewer is nearby! However, take a brave bite and you’ll find the taste surprisingly mild.

3. Pig’s brain soup

Just what the doctor ordered! For Frankenstein, that is. Clumps of creamy white brain suspended in peppery broth sounds like horror food, but eating this will supposedly improve your brain cells.

4. Paru-paru

Beef lungs or “paru” as they are called in Malay — these are black, leathery-looking slices, complete with whitish little holes (bronchial tubes). You’ll find this often served at nasi padang stalls.

5. Deep-fried scorpions

It takes guts to crunch that shiny black carapace complete with deadly stinger tail. Supposedly good for rheumatism, twitches and convulsions, but some people may start convulsing at the mere suggestion of eating scorpions.

6. Braised pig intestines and rectum

Yes, it’s all edible — small, large intestines and even the rectum! Interestingly, the Chinese call the rectum the “head” of the large intestines. Cleaning offal is hard work but essential in getting rid of the foul smells. Often served with braised pig skin, tongue and pig ears which have great crunchy cartilage.

7. Braised chicken feet

“Phoenix Claws” or braised chicken feet, a popular dim sum item and yet even some locals find these disgusting. Fear not, the scaly exterior of the feet have been removed, leaving the edible skin and tendons. And if you like cartilage, you’ll be happy to gnaw them off the many little joints.

8. Turtle soup

Like many exotic dishes, turtle soup is touted as an aphrodisiac. That’s if you’re not turned off by chopped turtle paws and claws swimming in murky herbal soup. Those who prize gelatinous skin and shell will probably take better to this dish.

9. Hashima

Hasma or Hashima is the oviduct fat of forest frog, or snow frog glands. Often used in Chinese desserts, this prized delicacy is not as gross as it sounds. The soft, puffy, whitish strands are basically tasteless on their own, but add texture and a touch of luxury. It’s reputedly good for the complexion, lungs and kidneys.

10, Century eggs

The ammonia smell of century eggs, literally translated as “thousand year eggs”, probably led to the rumor that they are cured in horse urine! However, that’s just a myth (urine is not alkaline enough to cure the eggs). Century eggs are widely popular as an appetizer with pickled ginger, or chopped up and cooked in congee.

I have only tasted Braised pig intestines and rectum, Braised chicken feet and Century eggs, and they all taste GOOD to me!

Tweeter-ing During Sex?

How creative is this?

When a man in the UK was asked to be the best man at his friend’s wedding, he was touched. So touched, that he promised not to pull any pranks before or during the wedding. After the wedding though, that’s another story.

This man, who is choosing to stay anonymous, has set up this Twitter account for the sole purpose of automatically tweeting when the newlyweds are having sex. I’m not kidding. Read the entire tweet stream from the bottom up if you want the full story. But basically, this guy was watching his friend’s house while they went on their honeymoon and he placed a device under their mattress. This device, which is similar to the one found here, is a pressure-sensitive pad that tweets out when sexual activity starts, when it ends, the force of the “action,” and a “frenzy” rating.

Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi Punched In Face

This is bad, but I somehow feel that…. serves him right!

The Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was left bloodied and shaken after he was punched in the face as he left a political rally in Milan.

The 73-year-old premier collapsed after he was apparently struck in the face by a man who was clutching a small statue of the Duomo, the city’s world-famous cathedral.

A shaken Mr Berlusconi was quickly dragged to his waiting car by his security guards and driven to hospital.

Doctors said he had not suffered concussion and had insisted “I’m fine, I’m fine, don’t worry about me” as he was stretchered in from his car. But they said he had bled profusely from his mouth and two of his teeth were loose, one of them fractured.

Paolo Klun, communications director at San Raffaele hospital, said: “The prime minister is suffering from shock but he is quickly regaining his composure.

”He has suffered trauma to the front of his face, around the lips and nose, and he has two loose teeth, one of which is fractured and there may be damage to the nasal bone.

Woman Sent Daughter’s Nude Photo To Internet Paedophile Ring

Pathetic……

Nursery paedophile Vanessa George took a picture of her naked eldest daughter and sent it on to an online paedophile ring.

Pearl George was snapped by her 18-stone mother as she darted out of the shower in search of a towel in May last year, just a month before her arrest.

George, who has since pleaded guilty to sexually abusing children and babies in her care, even captioned the picture with what police say were ‘disgusting comments of a sexual nature’.

Pearl, now 15, told The News of the World of her disgust at what her mother had done: ‘I want people to know why I really hate and despise her so much.

Young Female Analyst Quits Deloitte Due To “Naughty” Email

Lesson learnt, never ever write anything stupid in company email, it spreads faster than you can imagine.

A female graduate trainee at the consultants Deloitte has quit after an embarrassing email she sent discussing attractive male staff, was forwarded around the world.

Holly Leam-Taylor became the latest victim of a viral email craze when her light hearted message to colleagues spread like wildfire across the internet.

In the email, entitled Deloitte First year analysts Christmas Awards, sent on December 8, Ms Leam-Taylor asked her female colleagues to vote on which men in the office they considered most attractive.

She listed nine categories including, ‘boy most likely to sleep his way to the top’ and ‘most attractive older member of staff’.

Miss Leam-Taylor, who is in her early 20s, wrote: “I’ll send out the results on Friday 18th Dec (that is all I will be doing that day as I will be SO hung-over from the ball!)

The email was only intended for a small group within her office, but was quickly forwarded outside the building and within hours was being read by millions of internet users as far away as New Zealand and Australia.

Miss Leam-Taylor, who has been employed as a trainee analyst at the international company since August, resigned from her job the following day.

This is the details in full of that email:

Subject: Deloitte First year analysts Christmas Awards :D

So girls….

It’s been nearly 4 months at Deloitte so I think we should have some sort of Xmas awards ceremony for us ladies about the stuff that really matters at work i.e. gossip/ the boys! This probably massively violates the HR equal opportunities policy, but never mind! It’s all for fun and a bit of a laugh.

Ok, so the categories are below, please get your votes in asap, I’ll send out the results on Friday 18th Dec (that is all I will be doing that day as I will be SO hungover from the ball!) Any comments as to why you’ve picked a certain person that are particularly good/hilarious can be included, anonymously, of course

1.) Fittest boy – looks

2.) Fittest boy – body

3.) Best dressed boy

4.) Boy most likely to sleep his way to the top

5.) Best piece of gossip you’ve heard so far this year

6.) Most attractive “older” member of staff (i.e above analyst grade)

7.) Boy with the best personality

8.) Most hilarious/embarrassing moment a girl has had

9.) The official Deloitte First-year Analyst Girls “Man of the year”

Enjoy thinking about it!

Much love to all
