Took this photo yesterday at about 5pm at the Toy Fair at Ngee Ann City Event Hall at Basement 2. I heard from my colleagues that the toys are really cheap. Quite a few of them bought toys for their children or even to sell on eBay.

Am trying Zooomr out. It’s a photo sharing site with social networking tools built into the site. They are currently giving away free Pro accounts just by you signing up and blogging about a photo that you have placed on their site.
Update - 11 July 2006: Got an email from Zooomr that informed me that my account has been updated to Pro, which gives me a 2GiB transfer limit monthly.

Here’s a case of a 20 year old guy being charged with “Theft of Services”. Apparently, he has been making use of free wireless services provided by a Vancouver, Washington coffee shop without ever stepping into the cafe to buy anything for a period of three months. He allegedly parks his truck in the parking lot to use Brewed Awakenings’ wireless access. He was warned by police after the cafe staff called 911. But he didn’t leave and when police came around a second time, they arrested him.
Am not sure such a thing will happen in Singapore because most places do not have free wireless access anyway. I guess it would only happen to unsecured home wireless networks, particularly in our built-up HDB blocks. I find that the majority of wireless networks in my block are unsecured and anyone with a wireless card would be able to make use of the network. I’ve accidentally used a few of the networks.

Yet another brilliant fightback by the Aussies to ensure their progress into the last 16 for the first time in history. They’ll be facing Italy in the second round.
Australia seem down and out as early as the 3rd minute when Croatia scored from a wonderfully taken freekick. It sparked a major attacking display from Australia and they were unlucky not to have equalised till just before half-time through a penalty by Craig Moore after a Croatian player, Stjepan Tomas, had fisted the ball away following a corner.
But a elementary error by the Australian keeper allowed Croatia to once again take the lead. And this started the offensive onslaught on the Croatian goal again. The goal Australia needed came courtesy of Harry Kewell in the 79th minute. And they defended with the lives to ensure they got the point they needed to move on to the next round.
Unfortunately, Brett Emerton would not be available for the Socceroos for the next match after receiving two yellow cards and thus a red. Dario Stimic was also sent off just before Emerton. And to show that referees are human too, Graham Poll, the English referee, showed three yellow cards to Croat Josip Simunic before brandishing the mandatory red card after the final whistle.
The most exciting game of World Cup 2006 thus far. Hopefully, things will heat up in the knockout stages after a rather tame first round.
