Cast
Sunny Suwanmethanon - Jock
Patarasaya Krousuwansiri - Nampan
Panisara Pimpru - Rhautai
Chalermpon Thikumporn-teerawong - Jack
Nimit Luksameepong - Sutin


This is the first non-horror thai movie I've seen and I think its pretty funny ~! ( for some parts )
especially when the male lead (Jock) was riding the bike through bumps and the girl (Nampan) was sitting behind him and bumping into him at the same time.

Good looking starring actors and interesting cast. A good watch for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

How to avoid getting a virus through msn

Recently I've been seeing many people sending me links on msn messenger which have totally no relevance to me or my interest and I guess the virus is at work again.

Why do so many people fall into this trap ? Most people do not think twice about opening a link sent by their friend no matter what the link is. Therefore, do take a step back and think carefully if the link is really sent by your friend by simply asking the person again. If the other party is offline, it is highly possible that the link is a viral link. DO NOT CLICK ON IT. Simple. =)

Here are some steps to highlight which you can take

  • do not hastily click on any links you receive
  • ask the person if the link is sent by them
  • check if the person is online
  • install and update your anti-virus and firewall

Doesn't take a genius or a computer expert to implement them.
Cheers to your virus free MSN messenger.

Pro Wrestler Mike 'Mad Dog' Bell dies at 37

News from Newport Beach, California: Former pro wrestler Mike "Mad Dog" Bell has died at age 37, reports say.

Bell was found Sunday at a Costa Mesa live-in rehabilitation facility, although the cause of death is still to be determined. The coroner is waiting for the results of toxicology tests.

Bell's longtime struggle with alcohol and painkiller abuse was featured in the documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster by his brother, Chris Bell. The youngest brother, Mark, also did some pro wrestling and was a worldclass powerlifter. From the Associated Press:

"He was always wrestling, he was a personal trainer, he was always pushing his body to the max," Chris Bell told the Orange County Register.

"You can't really blame wrestling, but it's kind of the lifestyle," he said. "You have a couple of painkillers to get to the next match, have a couple drinks night to night and it gets out of hand."

Bell wrestled on World Wrestling Entertainment's "Monday Night Raw" as a "jobber," a fighter who takes falls to promote others.

"Although Mr. Bell was never under a WWE contract, WWE extends its deepest condolences to the Bell family," the organization said.

Are you carry buckets or building a pipeline ?

Once upon a time there was this quaint little village. It was a great place to live except for one problem. The village had no water unless it rained. To solve this problem once and for all, the village elders decided to put out to bid the contract to have water delivered to the village on a daily basis. Two people volunteered to take on the task and the elders awarded the contract to both of them. They felt that a little competition would keep the prices low and insure a back up supply of water.

The first of the two people who won the contract, Ed, immediately ran out, bought 2 galvanized steel buckets and began running back and forth along the trail to the lake which was a mile away. he immediately began making money as he labored morning to dusk hauling water from the lake with his two buckets. He would empty them into the large concrete holding tank the village had built. each morning he had to get up before the rest of the village awoke to make sure there was enough water for the village when it wanted it. It was hard work, but he was very happy to be making money and for one having one of the two exclusive contracts for this business.

The second winning contractor Bill, disappeared for a while. He was not seen in months, which made Ed very happy since he had no competition. Ed was making all the money.

Instead of buying 2 buckets to compete with Ed, Bill had written a business plan, created a corporation, found 4 investors and employed a president to do the work, and returned 6 mths later with a construction crew. Within a year his team had built a large volume stainless steel pipeline which connected the village to the lake.

At the grand opening celebration, Bill announced that his water was cleaner than Ed's water. Bill knew that there had been complaints about the dirt in Ed's water. Bill also announced that he could supply the village with water 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Ed could only deliver water on the weekdays... he did not work on weekends. Then Bill announced that he would charge 75% less than Ed did for this higher quality and more reliable source of water. The village cheered and ran immediately for the faucet at the end of Bill's pipeline.

In order to compete, Ed immediately lowered his rates by 75%, bought 2 more buckets, added covers to this buckets and began hauling four buckets each trip. In order to provide better service, he hired his 2 sons to give him a hand for the night shift and on weekends. When his boys went off to college, he said to them, "Hurry back, because someday this business will belong to you."

For some reason, after college, his 2 sons never came returned. Eventually Ed had employees and union problems. the union was demanding higher wages, better benefits, and wanted its members to only haul 1 bucket at a time.

Bill, on the other hand, realized that if this village needed water then other villages must need water too. He rewrote his business plan and went off to sell his high speed, high volume, low cost and clean water delivery system to villages throughout the world. He only makes a penny per bucket of water delivered, but he delivers billions of buckets of water every day.

Regardless of whether he works or not, billions of people consume billions of buckets of water, an d all that money pours into his bank account. Bill had developed a pipeline to deliver money to himself as well as water to the villages.

Bill lived happily ever after and Ed worked hard for the rest of his life and had financial problems forever after.

Does this story sound familiar to you ? Are we guilty of carry buckets ?

This story is taken from Robert Kiyosaki's book Cashflow and it has opened up my mind to different perspective which I have never thought of before.

Therefore, I hope to strive towards building a pipeline and I hope this story inspires you too. =)

Web or sex? Nearly half of women would rather go online

This is a survey done in Washington and the results are pretty surprising to me.

You can check out the article on yahoo here.

Its hard to imagine the pervasiveness of the internet in our everyday lives nowadays =).

"Ninety-five percent of those surveyed said it is "very important, important or somewhat important" to be able to access the Internet."

"Forty-six percent of the women polled said they would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up access to the Internet for the same period of time, according to the survey, "Internet Reliance in Today's Economy.""

Fewer men have been reported to choose internet over sex. I guess this may mean good news for all doing business on the internet out there but not so good news for the guys :(

SAP course at NUS

It is the last holidays of my studying life at NUS and i'm spending half of it in school. why is that so ?

When I tell people that I'm attending a SAP course in school,

The next question that follows up most certainly would be... "What is SAP ?"



SAP AG is the largest European software enterprise and the third largest in the world, with headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. It is best known for its SAP ERP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.

The workshop is conducted by a group of certified and wonderful NUS students. In this workshop you learn about business processes and of course, have a better understanding of SAP.

If you are interested, you may find out more about the course here.

My day begins at 10 a.m in the classroom with the theory lesson given by the student trainer.












10:00 - 12:30 pm ...













my bored classmate

Then we would break for lunch at the usual biz/arts/engineering/science canteen.



By the way the dumpling noodles fried dumplings are pretty good =)


around 1:00 to 4:00 pm...

This is where I would spend the rest of the day until the end of the lesson. We would be having the lab lesson here which mostly comprised of surfing net is pretty much applying what we have learnt in the morning's lesson. =)

The Little Nyonya Theme : 如燕

For those of you who have been tuning on to your television at 9pm faithfully everyday on channel 8, you would have been greeted by the melodious tune of the theme of "the little nyonya". The first time i heard the tune, i've been mesmerized by the melody as well as the beautiful voice who sang it. hence i've been really curious to find out the voice behind song and lo and behold, the singer is as beautiful as her voice. =)



Olivia Ong, born 2 October 1985 is a Singaporean singer. She sings mostly in English but develop her career singing in English and, later, Japanese.

Likened to Seiko Matsuda, she won a singing contest and was signed to a Japanese recording company at only 15.

After taking her O-level examinations in Singapore, Olivia moved to Japan to further her studies and career as a solo artist. In Japan, she became a member of a Japanese pop (J-pop) group called Mirai, before she released her bestselling début, "a girl meets bossanova" at only 19. With her sultry, soulful, pristine and innocent vocals, she reinterprets Frank Sinatra such as "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" and other jazz and pop numbers. She is one of the new wave of Singapore talent being exported internationally. So far, Olivia is the only pop sensation exported exclusively to Japan, previous stars such as Kit Chan, Tanya Chua, Stefanie Sun, Michelle Saram etc, have only been exporting to the Greater Chinese market through Hong Kong and Taiwan.


Hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. =)

How to Explode Your Affiliate Income!



Click here to get Affiliate Power Videos



Hi there,

Here's an interesting blog post for you..

When videos started to grow popular on the Internet in
the past couple of years, the Internet Marketing
landscape started to change.

Affiliate Marketing was not exempted, either.

The most classic mistake people tend to make in
affiliate marketing is not capturing the opt-in leads
first before sending their visitors to the merchant's
website.

So what smart marketers often do is that they would
have their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt
into their list, before sending them to the website
they are an affiliate for.

This is so the affiliate marketer can build his own
opt-in list and do his follow-ups later.

A few but exceptionally smarter marketers, on the other
hand, take this to the next level.

=====> THEY IMPLEMENT VIDEO MARKETING, TOO.

You probably notice most top Internet Marketing experts
are now using videos on their Squeeze Pages. And
smarter affiliates are also doing the same for their
own, for one obvious reason:

=====> VIDEOS CAN SKYROCKET YOUR TRAFFIC AND SALES
CONVERSIONS!

Unfortunately, the problem with video marketing is that
to begin with, you have to know how to make your own
videos.

And even if you could do your own videos, what if you
learn that the affiliate program doesn't convert well
for you after all?

Affiliate Power Videos remove all these barriers.

=> http://www.affiliatepowervideos.com/?vip=2487

At Affiliate Power Videos, you get 10 unique, high
converting Video Squeeze Pages, and 5 new ones every

So all you have to do is:

Step 1: join any or all of the listed affiliate
programs (free)

Step 2: Upload the video and squeeze pages to your web
host

Step 3: Start driving in traffic, build your opt-in
list and rake in affiliate sales!

You might be thinking that this is going to be a costly
monthly membership - maybe $97, $197 or even $297 a
month.

You're going to be in for a pleasant surprise -- this
one's on the house (read: zero cost)!

Here it is again:

don't delay - because I know you could very well have
your own string of affiliate video businesses up and

experience on your part!
