100 Greatest Hits of YouTube in 4 Minutes
For now… And if you recognize more than 50% of the video’s original clips, then you need to get a life, like me.

Nice neck nut cracking with the neck stunt. Let’s see he can pull another stunt on the Singapore F1 Grand Prix circuit tomorrow evening.

If I Have 100Mbps - Funny Parody Video
Parody of the original Hokkien song "If I have a million dollars". Incidentally I only have 10Mbps, which is good enough especially when it's ADSL and not cable.

Do you have full coverage health insurance?
Since I have been in this new job, my company’s insurance company is having an extended interest in me even though I haven’t even had a surgery in the past (unless of course you consider the one from a skiing accident to patch my ligaments on my knee 20 years ago). Maybe it is the age, but they really can’t refuse as they are a group insurance, can’t they?

One may think that it only happens to our parents. Scary when that starts happening to you.

Client, Tester, Manager, Developer
Replace the developer with project manager, technical lead, functional lead, consultant or practically any project team member and the result is still the same as in the picture.
Fiat vs the bicycle – Funny car ad
I guess car companies really have to become creative in their car ads to sell their cars these days.

Did You Know 4.0
Now at 4.0. In case you missed it, here’s:
2.0 and 3.0. Don’t know what happen to 1.0. All these technology, but somehow I don’t feel that my life is getting easier, and actually quite the opposite.

Revealed: The ghost fleet of the recession
(via The Daily Mail)
The biggest and most secretive gathering of ships in maritime history lies at anchor east of Singapore. Never before photographed, it is bigger than the U.S. and British navies combined but has no crew, no cargo and no destination - and is why your Christmas stocking may be on the light side this year…
On Resources
I don’t normally post work related stuff in this blog but felt I just need to get it off my chest.
Whilst I am still trying get the resource for my project, I had suddenly found myself to be some other project’s resource.

Mine Clearing in Cambodia
As a child soldier in Cambodia's notorious Khmer Rouge army Aki Ra laid many landmines. He now clears these deadly bombs with a stick and a pocketknife, more than 10,000 to date. It is very dangerous. No one pays him to do it. Aki is the real deal.
How Parents Stalk Their College-Aged Kids on Facebook, Twitter
(via Miss Cellania)
The may have come from The Onion (fake news) but what they have described is very real.
So if your kids rejected you on Facebook, you know why. However, that leaves twitter wide open as Twitter does not have the ability to reject followers. So careful what you tweat.
And if the video doesn’t convince you, have a look at this.

On The Google Holodeck
(via J-Walk Blog)
I am smitten by this video. Imagine the possibility of building a holodeck like this that will probably cost somewhere in the low five figures.

On World Continents
Something not politically correct in this picture.
What’s with all the black spots? Japan does not belong in Asia, and Britain does not belong to Europe. Which is interesting because if you ask any Japanese or Brit, neither of them will think they belong to their continent.

On The Half Plus Seven Rule
Based this wiki, the rule states that you shouldn’t date anyone younger than half your age plus seven years. And the slang terms for those who do…
Interestingly enough, the age difference matters less as one gets older. So one might just have to wait a couple of years for the potential partner to fit in the dateable range.
Kurt Vonnegut explains drama
That's why people invent fights. That's why we're drawn to sports. That's why we act like everything that happens to us is such a big deal.
We're trying to make our life into a fairy tale.
The sad reality of our lives.

Two out of three
Same principle can also be applied elsewhere.
Cars – Cheap, good, fast
Project – Time, budget, quality
