My brother recommended me this cool horror site..
The House from SINTHAI Studio.
Will surely hold you to your seat - suspenseful and emotionally charged. Follow a consistent logic as you try to figure out to how to move from one room to another.
Clue: try waving your mouse pointer speedily over various objects. You need to click the items in such sequence to trigger specific events.
WARNING: the images can be quite disturbing. It deals with the subject matter of suicide and death from a historical perspective. Please consider this before viewing and do so at your own discretion.
Abstract above from Patrick Toohey
A touch of The Ring - very Asian-type of horror. Will surely give you a ‘whoa!’

Officially Left-Brained
Sat, 17 September 2005From a test taken at Mind Media. Seems that my left-brain is much more dominant.
Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 43%
Visual : 56%
Left : 72%
Right : 27%
Summary:
Charlie, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.
Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to “catch up” with yourself.
Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can “size up” situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to “lose touch” with the immediacy of the problem.
Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you “learn from experience” and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.
You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the “larger whole.”
With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can “see where you want to go” and even be able to “tell yourself,” but find that you are “fighting yourself” at the darndest times.
Interesting..especially the part about the suitable jobs thing..
Racist = Stupid?
Fri, 16 September 2005The British childminder who wrote “nigger” on the forehead of a 3-year old black girl has walked free off court. To add insult, she flashed a V-sign outside court.
According to UK tabloid The Sun, she was told by a judge that she was guilty of the “clearest hostility”, however she only received some stupid suspended sentence.
Fay Stockley used crayon to scrawl the word ‘nigger’ on the child’s forehead. Other white children in her care went home with their first names written on their skin.
How stupid can you be?

The Day of the Jackal
Fri, 9 September 2005by Frederick Forsyth (1971)
Bought from one of the second hand bookshop in Sim Lin Square, Singapore during summer 03/04.
The book is so good that I finished it in an 10-hours run and later on inspired me to look for other Forsyth’s books.
It has a superbly detailed plot and it blurs the line between history and fiction completely. Forsyth is so convincing that unless you know the actual fact, you’d swallow everything in the book as what actually happened.
Quoted from Wikipedia:
The novel is widely regarded as one of the best “spy thrillers” ever written, widely praised for its convincing portrayal of France in 1962, and carefully thought-out plot. The book was filmed in 1973 by Fred Zinnemann starring Edward Fox in the title role. Like the novel, the film was praised for its depiction of 1962 France.
While the OAS did exist as described in the novel and the film opens with a remarkably accurate re-enactment of the Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry-led attempt on de Gaulle’s life, most of the remaining plot is fictional. The storyline follows the efforts of an extremely professional hired assasin (hired by an exiled OAS) in his preparations to assasinate de Gaulle, the efforts of an equally professional but rather hard-pressed French detective assigned to identify and stop him along with elements of intrigue and bureaucratic maneuvering at the highest levels of the French government.
The famous hitman Carlos the Jackal may have taken the novel as inspiration for his nickname: A copy was found in his hotel room after a police raid.
Everyone that reads should read this book.
