3 things to share this day:

1. Look out BEcky and Jon (Becky's bro) someone is really selling his life on ebay, ur days of telling people to go on bay to bid for a life (i.e. get a life) have come true. And you can really recommend people who need a life to go bid for one. It's set in perth so not too bad like the sun there.
the commentary
the ebay page

2. How Taipei 101 is stable when it's 600 feet (about 200m) from a fault line in the chinese earthquake. check out the video of the swerving of the ball (on the site)


3. photographs of the secret satelites for black ops. haha at least shots of them passing by.

and just an update. i am loving Singapore.

weather's killing me. i am sweating like a pig, think i am burning enough calories just sitting here sweating.

diabetes update

here are 2 news articles that sum up what the latest trials in diabetes management show.
