Maybe I can draw your attention to some interesting news happening around the Africa continent while you wait for my postings (after resumption of my internet serve at home cum office, just can't wait for this 24 hours internet opportunity):-
a) Ethiopia and Starbucks talks fail (yeah, the coffee chain)
b) Drug disgrace for Nollywood star (ever wonder where is Nollywood????)
c) Gaddafi in Nigeria airport drama (referring to the Libyan president)
d) 'Pregnant' man fined in South African court
e) Madonna faces adoption challenge (due to her recent adoption of a Malawian boy)
Happy reading!

Still Stucked!!!
What I feared most happened. The IT guys didn't get to connect/configure the office server and satellite within a day. 3 days gone and I can't smell the internet function I'm not submitting this at the comfort of my office or home but at a cybercafe about 5 mins from new home.
New home? A surprise came in somehow as I was requested to move house too on 28 Nov too. So, 4 guys moved to the 1st floor of the new office building. The office will only occupy the ground floor and 4 guys will be staying upstairs. What hectic days for moving office and home at the same time. More pictures will be posted to show the new office area when internet service resumes. This time round I will have internet access for 24 hours (provided I don't sleep of course) as a picture to be posted will show you how big is my satellite receiver.
Just when the thought of new environment sets in, news of war down south Sudan has to happen to give me some shivers. "At least 300 people were killed in clashes between Sudan's army and former rebels in the south earlier this week, aid workers say" - such statement won't bring you comfort. Clashes between a northern militia led by Maj Gen Gabriel Tang and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) former rebels in parts of a town called Malakal. (source: BBC News/Africa)

The Joys of Receiving Emails
**Got this via email yesterday!!!**
I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your damn chain letters over the past few years.
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of what's left of my heart for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.
Because of your concern...
* I no longer drink Coca Cola ... because it can remove toilet stains.
* I no longer drink anything out of a can ... because I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.
* I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave ... because it causes cancer.
* I no longer check the coin return on pay phones ... because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
* I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants ... even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day
* I no longer use margarine ... because it's one molecule away from being plastic.
* I no longer go to shopping malls ... because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
* I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx ... since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
* I no longer answer the phone ... because someone will ask me to dial a stupid number for which * I will get the phone bill from hell with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Zebekistan.
* I no longer eat KFC ... because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
* I no longer date the opposite sex ... because they will take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
* I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus ... since I now have their recipe.
* I no longer worry about my soul ... because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.
* Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. (Geez, the BIBLE did not mention it works that way!)
* I no longer have any savings ... because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).
* I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
Yes, I want to thank all of you soooooooo much for looking out for me! I will now return the favor. If you don't send this e-mail to at least 1200 people in the next 60 seconds, a large bird with diarrhea will crap on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas of a thousand camels will infest your armpits.
I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's 8th husband's 2nd cousin's 3rd husband's ex-wife's mother's beautician!
Ain't spam great?!?!?

Moving Office
Moving office today.....actually my department has moved its stuff 2 days ago ahead of others but today itself we will see the computer server and satellite accessories being removed and installed at the new office. The new office is about 5 minutes away from current location. Thereby internet system will be out in 2 hours time. Really hope that they could set-up everything by tomorrow morning.
The distance from my house to the new office is the same to the current location......

Interior Decoration
This is a seemingly trivial domestic incident in Hong Kong, but I found it interesting because it took me a while to figure why the fight was inevitable. Everything can be explained through the floor plan of the re-decorated apartment. A couple lived there, but they have been estranged (but not yet divorced) due to infidelity on the part of the husband (namely, he has a mistress in mainland China). The apartment is in a public housing estate, although the husband has a reported wealth of HK$100 million and could probably live in much better style.
However, the husband believes that his good fortunes were due to the fengshui in this apartment and therefore he continues to live there. Due to the estrangement, the couple live in separate rooms. The husband lives in room A while the wife lives in room E. Previously, both shared the living room (D), the bathroom (C) and the kitchen (B). The wife has her own living room (F). There is an entrance area (G) right behind the front door.
The husband then initiated interior decoration project #1. He hired a contractor to seal the door from Room E to the living room, restroom and kitchen. The wife was mad, but she could not make the contractor stop.
So the wife then initiated interior decoration project #2. She hired a contractor to seal the door from the entrance area G to areas A, B, C, D. So this means that the husband has no access to his own room. Furthermore, nobody had access to the living room, restroom or kitchen.
As said, the fight was inevitable with their children taking different sides. The police was summoned and they came and hauled everyone down to the police station. (source: ZoneEuropa)

Worldwide Holiday on 1 Feb 2019
ENJOY YOUR EACH MOMENT MAXIMUM YOU CAN..... MIT astronomers predicts Worldwide Holiday on Feb 1, 2019 as the world is scheduled to end
The Bible says that only the Father knows the hour. The world and all that is in it are reserved for fire. Revelation talks about a huge blazing mountain being thrown to the earth etc..I believe that this blazing mountain is an asteroid that upon impact, massive earthquakes and volcanic type fire will destroy everthing in its path.
We must not speculate on the date...because only the Father knows. Jesus second coming will be in an hour unknown to man ..like a thief whose coming is not known. Let us just be reminded of the grim reality of how the world is going to end and live for Jesus and the glory of God.

That is why it is even more pressing for us to share with the lost and just continue to keep on sharing and leaving the result to God.
Anyway, NASA has eliminated the chances of that asteroid crashing into planet earth via their report on 2 Aug 2002.

Now available in quad-core.Experience performance second to none on highly-threaded apps² and get in the game like it was meant to be played with the Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700—the world's first quad-core desktop processor.
(source: Intel)Just when people were just buying the latest laptops which has the latest Intel Core2 Duo processor, Intel released this new chip. This new chip only has a 9 months competition advantage over their rivals.
Only 9 months??? Meaning to say AMD could produce another equivalent or better chip soon.
