I Like Britain's Got Talent

There are a lot of "talent shows" in recent years, brought to popularity by "The American Idol", if I'm not wrong.

One particular one that I like a lot is Britain's Got Talent.
I, like Simon, like to see contestants who are humble, but come with great talent.

Of course, the success of such shows owes to the judges as well, which is somewhat packaged as part of the entertainment.

The latest edition of Britain's Got Talent just got ended.

Here are the two acts that I like the most, for their humbleness and talent.

1) Only Boys Aloud



2) Charlotte and Jonathan



Neither win the competition however.
They came in 3rd and 2nd respectively.

Can't wait for the next edition of Britain's Got Talent!

I Love Jogging .. And Nike+

I love jogging for a few reasons:
1) to shed some weight off my marginally-obese body
2) to have the relaxation of mind it gives me while on the run
3) to keep me healthy

I was introduced to a running gadget by my colleague a year plus ago and am still using it regularly today.
It's the Nike+ Sportsband.

My running data such as distance run, calories burned and time per km rate etc are uploaded to my online account at Nikeplus.com.

I must say it's a great concept that really inspires me to run more. And in reality, I do run more than what I used to run after I retired from my National Service, AKA "went MR".

This Sportsband, however requires a transponder to be inserted in the hole meant for it in a Nike+ running shoe.

However, there comes the new version of iPod Nano by Apple. With the 6th generation iPod Nano, I can track my running data the same way as I'm doing on my Sportsband. The main difference between them is that the iPod Nano does not requires an additional transponder to work. So it's just "wear it and run"!

Yes, that's the gadget I will be getting next and real soon.

The only worry is its accuracy. The Nike+ Sportsband that I'm using now is highly accurate.

So, let's keep healthy!

Things That Go Against Inflation

Inflation is a constant thing.
Petrol goes up.
Housing price goes up.
Groceries expenses go up...

However, despite the constant inflation, certain things in life remain cheap.

I've just got a nice wall clock for $2 at a "2-dollar shop"!
Now, that is dirt cheap!

The shop sells many daily life's essentials at a low $2. I do not know what's their profit margin like, but I'm sure happy with the purchase.
