Christmas Eve

Status: Happy.

Howdy Readers!! Walkergal wishes you Merry Christmas in advance!
You know, its always amazing for me to be able to sleep with lights on and music on because its practically impossible for Walkergal to achieve that!

Well, it seemed that way last night!! Hahaha... Amazing huh. Was uploading pictures on facebook. Its like taking ages to load up pictures. The worst thing happened twice when I painstakingly sorted out those pictures for uploading and facebook processed for so long and returned with an error message, asking me to try again. =.=

So I splitted my uploading to smaller portions. Then the very tired me multi-tasked.. used the time to apply moisturizer (don't all the vain people do that all the time? :)) and I guess it was that time. I fell asleep on bed while applying moisturizers!! =.= I just woke up you see. From a very nice sms by the Emperor himself. =.="

Farmers.. a lost tribe.
I really hope that perhaps the farms in SG can be more open to schools. I do know they have been opened for many field trips. What I meant is to provide stay-ons. Allow the school kids to have a stayover experience, experience the life of a SG farmer. I would think its a pretty good experience. Don't you think so? :)

Something got me to ponder about Gingerbread. How did it occur to people to make bread using ginger as an ingredient? And why is it a gingerbread man... and not a gingerbread woman? There isn't any parts of the bread that signifies that its a man and not a woman. Hurhur.

The smokers in Paris must have been smoking much for their dear lives these days. A nationwide ban on smoking for France will come in effect on 1 January 2008. Well.. some people predicted that it could be a demise of the French lively cafe culture.

The entire country has been ready for a year now about this ban. It has been about 11 months after smoking was outlawed in workplaces, schools, hospitals and shops. The ban came 6 months after Britain made its pubs smoke-free and nearly 4 years after Ireland became the first European country to ban smoking in public places.

Under this smoking ban, those who light up in public places can be fined up to 450euros! Thats a whooping SGD645!! The business owners might face up to 750euros!

For those who supported this campaign, they hope to bring France across to people that it has become a more health-conscious country.

Wosh.

The Blackberry 8120 is really cool. It cooked me!!

Of course. The digital camera part is... despite being upgraded, its still.. 2 megapixels. Facebook users can upload pictures to website using the phone very easily.. but 2 megapixels phone..

Easy to setup email and a 3.5mm audio port lets you use your own earphones. Has a direct USB port for transferring data and charging the phone. Its like the MP3s nowadays. Its powered by WIFI, making sure that its all worthed to be bought for the surf-all-you-want WIFI hotspots in SG.

The best part is, the battery life is impressive. It can last for a day with WIFI and GPRS enabled, and the camera and music player being used.

Hmm... looks wise, I'm still captivated by HTC Touch Dual. :)
