Town for sale thru eBay

Anybody willing to buy a town???

this really seems to "crazy" idea to buy a town, so drama...thought that such ideas (like getting an island) only will happen in the movies.

wonder who this crazy (yet filthy rich) man is, trying to imagine what he wants from this town..
i wont believe that he is going to get the town & retire his life for sure....

& why didnt i see on ebay on this bid "item"???

[SAN ANTONIO -- Someone in Italy placed the winning bid of $3.8 million on Friday for an unpopulated, one-house Texas town auctioned online.No one lives permanently in the 13-acre town of Albert, about 60 miles north of San Antonio, but the tavern created from the frame of the old general store is open on weekends.The town also includes a pavilion, an 85-year-old dance hall, a tractor shed, a three-bedroom house, plus peach and pecan orchards.But before town owner Bobby Cave signs the deed over, he must ensure the eBay bid is legitimate. Cave said that unlike the usual items bought through eBay, there are no contractual obligations when it comes to real estate."There's just not any way to insist that a guy from Italy write me a check for three million," said Cave, 47, an Austin real estate agent.The reserve price for the town was $2.5 million. Even if the deal doesn't go through, Cave said he has about five other prospective buyers genuinely interested in the town.Bridgeville, in northern California, was the first town ever put on the eBay auction block. The 83 acres were twice sold on the site, in 2002 (that deal fell through) and again last year. ]

Deadly Ending to TV Proposal, Woman killed after saying 'no' to 'marry me' plea

DEADLY ENDING TO TV PROPOSAL
Woman killed after saying 'no' to 'marry me' plea [November 28, 2007]

APPEAR on our TV show, there'll be a surprise for you.

A clip from the TV show, showing Ms Orlovo and Navarro.
That was all Ms Svetlana Orlovo was told when she was invited to be on Spain's daytime Patricia's Daily Show.
But the 'surprise' last week may have led to her losing her life - sitting opposite her on the set was her former boyfriend, Ricardo Navarro, who had beaten her for years.
On the show, Navarro, 30, produced an engagement ring and proposed to Ms Orlovo, a Russian living in Spain, reported The Times.
Looking deeply uncomfortable, Ms Orlovo shook her head.
Five days later, Navarro allegedly stabbed her in the neck, killing her.
The TV station is now under fire to drop the programme, which is known for bringing together weeping, quarrelling couples, reported the Washington Post.
The kiling has also prompted ministers to hold talks with broadcasters over the nation's trashy TV culture.
According to the Spanish newspapers, Ms Orlova had thought the surprise would be her mother.
Navarro had said on the show that he and Ms Orlova broke up because of a dispute over money.
Ms Orlova contested that, saying: 'There were many other things', but did not elaborate.
Navarro then went down on one knee and asked her to marry him.
'Come back,' he said sounding tearful, as the audience cooed. 'You are everything for me.'
'I want you to marry me. You're everything for me. Everything, everything,' he is reported to have said as Ms Orlova shook her head slightly.
The host then urged her: 'Well, Svetlana, say something. We are all on tenterhooks. Is that 'no' or 'I don't know'? Say it clearly.'
Ms Orlovo, who eventually said 'no' on screen, was stabbed five days later and died in hospital.
She leaves a son, 5, who is now being looked after by his father.
Navarro was arrested for her murder.
The show's production company denied being responsible for her death, saying that it, too, had been deceived by Navarro.
'Nothing made us suspect that a tragedy like this could occur,' it said.
Other cases ==>> This is not the first act of violence in Spain seemingly triggered by a TV show, reported TheTimes. Other cases:
1997 - Ana Orantes, 60, talks about abusive husband on TV show. Several days later, he ties her to a chair, douses her in petrol and sets her alight, killing her.
2004 - Andres Reyes kills 18-year-old girlfriend after she appears on TV show and talks about his abuse of her.
2005 - Mariano Navas stabs girlfriend, citing 'humiliation' on Patricia's Daily Show as mitigating factor.

Guess now it sure pays off as my face starts to get better....
Who says that i must spend alot of hard cash just to have a good skin.
My skin is not as good as those models on advertisment, but who cares. As long as they don't look horrible & i can still be presentable.

[to those beauticians] "aunties!!! i don't need to woreship you & follow whatever you say faithfuly & best of all, i don't need to spend those money just to SAVE my face!!!"

New LCD

its not a LCD TV, its LCD monitor.... 19inch DELL LCD to replace the old & bulky monitor...

its great that finally we gonna upgrade our system again... with better processor & speed & memory space...

the new LCD monitor save us more desk space, thus sparing me with the trouble of table space constrian...

ops... guess bigger size monitor still a trouble ... its hard to miss from a distance what i was doing, especially no-no cos boss will knw that i was reading my personal emails & i was gossiping with my collg on MSN liao...

addiction to blogging

someone told me that its almost like an addiction once i started out with blogging cause there is endless fun to what i can do with my little space...

yes, i gonna have to admit that she is right again...

from the day i learn that i can express my feelings & thoughts in the virtual world has already brought me so much fun which i actually made lots of friends... all of us maybe simply exchanging thoughts & experience. Consoling each other when one is at depression...
but non of us know each other in real life...
blog simply bring a few strangers (ladies) into a small world & a common topic could start a conversation... thats when the human connection & communication started out....

unblievable...

we could have been living in the same neighbourhood but never get to even greet each other or people from from austrialia, getting information on whats going on in homeplace, singapore...

[big hug] friends, its so nice to meet u ♥

courtesy

its friday & finally end of a buzy week... guess everyone is the same, tired & cant wait to rush to thier destination regard if its the cozy home that they hope to be able to sink thier tiredness body onto that ever comfortable bed or simply to head off for friday night party, hanging out with friends(or love)...

MRT seems to be pack with lots of people.most look tired & seems to be dozing off (or are they??)

A mummy manage to aboard the train, squeezing thru her way to find a location near to the most "secure" place where she hope that she would be of the least harm to her baby...
She is carrying a baby in her... guess it seems that she is going to be due in mnth's time...

I was looking at her, hoping ard that someone took notice of a future mum's existence and give up thier seat and offer... i cant even find anyone willing to open thier eyes to even take notice of her....
whats wrong with them?! have they manage to fall into "deep sleep" within minute as they seated?
One lady took notice of mummy finally, i was glad someone finally notice that the mother need some offer.... wait!!! that lady look away!! looking at the ther direction after the short glance!!!

didn't she notice a mother carrying a baby is such a hard task that a seat being offered to would greatly be apprecaited???
she pretended that she didn't notice & "fell asleep" instantly!! hoping that nobody took notice that she is ignoring the mother...

"heh, whats going on...... is singaporean so heartless & fail to see the need to help people around?" aunties standing right beside me were grumpling & complaining about the sight that they had saw, raising their volume, hoping to catch more attention for the poor mother...

can't believe that most people could have fall into deep "coma" that nobody even bothers to react to this....

a young man, seated a little distance away, took notice of the conversation & finally saw the helpless mother. offering his seat immediatly even thou his hand seems full with his bags & box (its a lappie)....

finally poor mother get to rest a while on the journey before getting to her stop...
warm smile in return for young chap's great heart... his little action may seems so unnoticable but had actually make alot of different to me, cause i still can believe that warmth & love can still exist here, in singapore, in this world.

"what do i deserve for this treatment"

let me reply you then... so what do i deserve to be treated like this by you in the 1st place?!

you can always come out with thousand & 1 reason & excuse yet i will have to bear all of them... so what do i get in return??? (piece of shit only)

i really am feeling very tired... with too many of disappointment & my faith is losing... what is there left in you that still can keep me to go on... [nothing]

you know it very well that it takes lot of effort & work to keep up with good relationship with your collg & friends & your customers...don't you know that its take even double of all this just to maintain a relationship???
didn't i have been giving in too much to you... haven that seen to be too little to be notice?
(tears rolling down my cheeks) but i did told you before that to be tgt takes more than just verbal reminding of loving & missing each other...

your constant "reminding" don't work at all when they seems so lifeless to me... they mealy exist & said for the sake of saying...
i have told you that i have really gotten too used to all these... not because i have really gotten used to but simply cause.. i felt total numb to your excuse & reason..
poison of venom are lethal, once gotten too much of poison in oneself... numbness over power everything & whats left with are lifeless awaiting....
its numb in my heart so........ still waiting to test when will the numbness over power my sense...

scam (again)

Monday was hopelessly down with sickness.... can't even crawl out of my bed without feeling the earth giving way beneath me (ops... guess i sound over-exaggerated)

Was giving a day to rest (finally can get away from work & stress for a day) & lots of medication... so i went Z'in (sleeping) thru the day after taking the prescribed dosage.

Ring (who is so heartless to wake me up from my sweet dream)

Thousand & 1 excuses for me to ignore the phone... but its too loud to be ignore...

Unwillingly, i manage to get up & pick up the call...

[Female voice, in Chinese... ] This is calling from Singapore Supreme Court. You have been notified that you are to proceed to Court on 5th Dec for case on .........(ops... can't recall what are the details)....
Pls press 1 to Court Adm dept, Press 2 to ..... [the answering m/c continues]

Stun & shock.... i had offence??? What did i do wrong that i need to face law suits & worst of all.... supreme high court is no laughing matter....

Something hit my mind, Singapore has been known of being a Muilt-culture country thus we have so many different races of citizens thus to enable all ease of communication, most of the gov calls are to start off with English (only with answering m/c then langauge options are avaliable after the English version)

What strike into my mind immediatly when i recall the email warns circulating in the forum are about recent on phone scam...

i try to reason it out to myself... how can ever singapore supreme court be using an oversea call connection to call me to inform i have an offence of a unknown mistake i made..

I maybe sick... but those cheaters sure can't think that i am stupid anyway...

I slam the phone & ignore it....[but once i recall back ... did regret that i should have call to police & file report so that they may have a chance to trace the line or something (watch too much tv i guess)]

Told my HB after that night & he did call to court to check if i did have any of offence... but.. i am a good citizen actually so there is nothing i should be scared of... (hahahah)

[my my... even my granny had received such phone before.. but is real lucky that i warn her before about possible phone scam that had actually trick lots of pple] phew!!!

SCAMers OUt TheRE!!! Don't try your those dirty tricks on me again... Cause You going to PAY for it If You daRe to try it out AGAIN!!!

wasting resource - precious water

its almost dinner time we head off to the nearest canteen next to our block...
just when we have seated & waiting for our serving... we were interrupted by kids laughter... curious enough & we look towards....

its at the Multi-Function Hall next to the eating place....

shockening to me with what they are doing....

they are pouring water onto each other or themselves (but thats not what really pissed me)...
the young kids are wasting water not only by splashing water at no cost, they simply allow the tap (which is meant for function purpose) to run freely....

water are over flowing from the sink & they happily splashes water all over the place....

didn't the teacher ever teach them the importance of water.... our mother nature may have feed us with preious water at no cost, but Singapore being such a small country & without any natural resources.... water is so preious..
for every year, we have to buy in supply of drinkable water across the straits.
now with the help of new technology of NEW WATER...
it has not solve the problem of water shortage at all.

(tsk tsk tsk)... this kids are not too young that they can't understand the importance...

Blogging

Been using mulitpy as my blogging host since 2005 …. I was being introduced by a few online friends while I was sourcing for information on my preparation for ROM.

That’s right… I had get to understand & explore internet only in 2004…
My 1st experience was when I was in primary as it’s such expensive equipment for a average household could afford. School had our very 1st (1 & only) computer room where all students are available hands-on experience once a week.

Things are so different in the 21st century where a pc can be bought at USD$199 from online (Linux @ wal-mart).

Blog allows me to explore more of options & expressing myself…it’s a whole totally world where I manage to make lots of friends from different field of life & career…
(mums, teachers, accountings, even across the straits where Malaysia/Thailand & Australia)

I even could keep in touch with long lost friends who we seldom contact…(actually was hoping that I could even find my long-lost schoolmates too)

[shouting!!] friends out there from SP or BLSS…….. i miss you!!!!
