u will nv believe that am jus really so crazy abt jay chou... finally i got the tix... hee... thru M1... subscribe to a new mobile contract plus a home broadband bring u a pair of jay's concert tix... thou its miserable $98 seats but better den nth at all..
and it gave me a chance to visit sim lim... cos M1 broadband dun come wif router... and i seriously can't live without a router... well, spend $50+ on a router and $70 on a external DVD writer... urgh... in case u guys wonder y i get a dvd writer, it due to a great fall for my lappy, my internal dvd drive become faulty... and ya... after so many mths i decided to do something...
anyway, its so interesting out there... and only den i realize... I was been cheated for money some times back in Sim Lim... tat bloody guy who i bought the bloody ex DS charger from, who den also charge me damn ex for the screen protector and clear case... he try to cheat me by asking me to replace my R4 wif R4 upgrade and claim tat the old R4 not outdated and can't play those latest DS games... today when i head back to the same shop, another guy told me that its a total bullshit! oh damn it... curse tat rubbish man... no wonder when i ask for R4 upgrade ppl give me that 'question mark' face... ended up i ask abt wii... having a big headache whether to take a mod set or not... mod set can play downloaded games but easily damage... but leave it till later, not gonna get it so soon...
and so wat's the 'in' thing now...? they got this thumb drive size device which allow u to gain access to china tv channel, tw channels, movies, etc, on ur comp... $150++
and the other device, something like a SCV cable which connect to ur tv set and stream movie thru the network... tat cost ard $250++
am rather tempted to get another device which is the media player, it connect your tv set to ur hard disk, so u can watch all downloaded clip thru TV and no more staring @ lappy screen... cheapest @ $39 but i spent enough for all these so shall give it a miss..
lastly, do check out sim lim for all the new technology... interesting indeed...

Little lizards make big money
JAKARTA - A TINY Indonesian lizard has become big business for impoverished villagers in Indonesia, where growing Asian demand for reptile-based traditional medicines has driven a boom in gecko farming.
Geckos - the pale, soft-skinned lizard with a distinctive call - are abundant in Indonesia and are believed by Chinese and Korean traditional medicine devotees to help cure cancer as well as skin and respiratory diseases.
In rural Banjarsawah village, on the eastern half of Java island, struggling farmers have discovered geckos make a surprisingly lucrative commodity. Tohasyim, 32, a farmhand who earns 10,000 rupiah (S$1.39) a day feeding other people's cattle, now makes 1 million rupiah or about US$110 a month hunting geckos in a local forest.
'I start hunting the geckos in the evening after I finish my job, feeding other people's cattle. I normally start hunting the geckos at 6 in the evening until 5 in the morning,' said Tohasyim, who, like many Indonesians, has only one name.
The industry began four years ago when one villager, Abdurrahman, began drying geckos at home and selling them to an exporter. Now, more than 100 hunters scour the forest nightly catching the skittering lizards and delivering them to Abdurrahman, 40, who delivers them to the exporter.
Most villagers in Banjarsawah are now involved in dried gecko production. Hunters venture into the forest in groups of four or five, wearing battery-powered head lamps and catching the lizards with their gloved hands. About a dozen workers, mostly housewives, spend days stretching, drying, and packing the lizards. They often work from 7 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon in the dark woven bamboo house of the industry's owner. When demand is high, they work even longer. These workers earn about 20,000 rupiah per day. -- REUTERS
