Above is a video taken during the Disney on Ice show some time back. She is a good figure skater and entertaining. I could not record other more interesting parts of the show as my digital camera batteries went flat shortly after. Enjoy!

There is a myth that says that at the end of every rainbow is a pot of gold. Well, I have yet to see that pot of gold whenever I spot a colorful rainbow after the thunderstorm. But I do have my small tiny collection of gold - from gold coins, gold bangle, gold cross, gold earrings to gold chain. These are gifts from my two departed grannies except for the gold coin which was given by my aunt and the gold bangle was a gift to myself for working hard in giving tuition. I hardly wear gold for fear of snatch theft and for my own safety. I have had my mom, my second sister and paternal granny being victims of snatch thefts of their gold chains and handbag right in front of my house. Despite owning some gold items, I don’t normally wear them as they would be too ostentacious and I rather keep a low profile whenever I am in public places.

Do you know that while you open gmail.google.com, you can also chat with other people in your list of Google Talk? Today I had the opportunity to chat online with my client using Google Talk. There is a green round button beside the name if the person is online and happen to open Gmail. Simply click on the name and a chat window will display. Just type in the box and hit enter for the message to be sent over. Easy as that. It works on Windows, OSX and Linux operating systems. Google Talk is very basic and gets the message across without all the features and advertisements of a full blown messenger like Yahoo. You can go and try and see it for yourself.

Blogger has just added a new feature on the dashboard. We can now upload videos to our blogs the same way we upload pictures. We no longer need to embed the codes from YouTube. Though I have not tried this yet, I think it is a nifty feature to use. Maybe one of these days, I might just upload my own videos of a stage performance taken in China that comes with the delicious Mongolian food buffet. Blogger only allows video uploads of not more than 100mb each time. Most formats are accepted. Have fun with your videos.
