蕭敬騰 MP3s
Jul 31st
Spent the whole night compiling all the shows that 蕭敬騰 appeared in and made the songs he played into MP3s. I think I’m quite boliao but since all the links I’ve looked for is either fake or broken hence I thought I do it myself. Honestly the quality ain’t great but I have tried my best to touch up with SoundForge already; the contents are from 国光帮帮忙, 大小爱吃 and his PK appearances in 超級星光大道.
Anyways heres the link in case any fans wanna grab it while waiting for official releases like the song with 阿妹.
Chinese characters in URL
Jul 29th
I wonder when did is this became possible and how does it work. I just came across a site with chinese characters for its url. http://黑糖瑪奇朵.tw/ Its the homepage for another taiwan drama which I think will suck alot because the cast is from 棒棒糖 and 黑涩会. OMFG.
Anyways I tried doing some DNS and it shows “Dns resolved 黑糖瑪奇朵.tw to 210.17.9.238″ Ummm. Shall go read up how is this done….
Top Gear Polar Challenge!
Jul 27th
Today, the full HD 1080p version by Vuk is out. A whooping 7GB for a one hour series. I ran the torrent for about 10mins before I decided to stop because I think 7GB is simply crazy. I hope they can release the 720p version soon which I hope isn’t too big.
I couldn’t wait so I got the 700mb one to watch which was pretty good already. This episode has got to be the best challenge they did so far because it takes alot to go out into the north pole. Actually they didn’t featured much about automobile this time round except that they prove once again the Hilux is more or less indestructible. Must watch for Top Gear fans and lets hope the BBC will continue to make Top Gear.
Here are the links to get the episode.

Missing AdTags
Jul 27th
Our first encounters with the legendary missing AdTags! Yesterday after class, we came across 10 of these AdTags around City Hall region. Some promoters were encouraging us to SMS so we all gave it a shot. At first we felt its some kind of gimmick, but after we tried, apparently the chances of winning were quite high. 6 of us tried and 3 won something. Gary won $2+$2+$10, Shaun got $2+$5, Peter $2. Brandon, Weihao and me got nothing. =[ Oh and there was a counter to collect the prizes instantly. Pretty cool. But I wonder would they be using our personal data for some other marketing stuffs.
NDP 2007 Online
Jul 25th
I just notice on my TVUplayer that they will be streaming NDP 07. At first I thought I was illegal but I checked up on the NDP site and realize that its an official channel. One can watch through the web streaming without the program at NDP official site. But I didn’t get a signal from there so I suggest people to download the program in case you can’t get the streaming on that day.
蕭敬騰
Jul 25th
I gotta say I’m very impressed with this guy ever since the PK part of 超級星光大. And he is the main reason I continued to watch the competition; beside watching 楊宗緯, 蘇貝如 and 鸭子. Honestly, the rest are kinda boring.
Just watched the 070607 of 康熙來了 and I’m even more impressed. Great vocal, great work on the keyboards. I’m not sure if he can compose, I’m sure if he does, 前途无量. Could be the next 周杰倫 or 王力宏.
Rainy Days
Jul 24th
Recently its been raining every day. It almost feels like Dec – Jan now, I don’t even need to on the fan when I sleep. But I just heard on the radio that global warming might cause a change in rain pattern, bringing more rain to the northern hemisphere like Canada, Russia, etc. While S.E.Asia and will suffer droughts. Oh my, lets hope that would not happen. I love rainie days.
Insomnia…
Jul 23rd
Time now 4:50am. Toss and turning in bed for don’t know how long, I still can’t sleep and have class @ 9. Not really good at counting sheep and I hate drinking milk so I can’t think of any other way to help sleep.
Theres a song kept playing in my mind while I lay in bed. Its from some movie but I’m not sure which one tho. I think I will continue watching TV until its time for school.
James May’s 20th Century
Jul 20th
New show I just came across today and its called “James May’s 20th Century”. Yes James May as in the presenter for Top Gear aka Captain Slow, who is also the presenter for this show.The show airs Tuesday @ 22:00 and currently 6 episodes has aired.Although I have only watched 2 episodes of it, I must say its a very informative and interesting. Its about how olden ideas back in the early 90s has evolved and help shaped modern science and technology. The BBC is rather good at making this type of shows. I just hope they will bring back Top Gear because thats their best work!

Quote from StraitsTimes
The milky candy with its characteristic white wrapper and translucent edible rice-paper is being tested by the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) for a chemical it should not contain – Formaldehyde. This preservative is commonly used to embalm the dead.
China did it again! This is like the 923234134th news about food product with “funny” ingredients inside. Its a good thing I never liked dairy products hence this sweet is on my ban list ever since I was a kid. Good luck to those 大白兔 sweet lovers.
