Travian ~ Online Game
"It has been a wild year. . . will probably NOT be coming back to this game again. Real life takes precedence. It will be nice to be able to turn the computers off at the end of the day. . . ;-) Oh and sleep. That is something we've been lacking recently too."

Travian is a browser game featuring a world with thousands of other real players. One begins the game acting as a chief of a tiny village.

Dear Travian players,
The sun was already rising, but still the workers of the metropolis 1.01 Athaja kept on working to finish their prodigious monument. Around 05:25 am/pm a worker finished the greatest and most formidable building in Travian history since the downfall of the Natarian Empire.
Together with their alliance, "Red Dawn", "myyrkezaan" was the first to finish the construction using millions of resources and protecting it with hundreds of thousands of brave defenders and thus receives the title "winner of this era".
In the end, "dmolla", was the ruler over the greatest empire followed shortly by "Rickroll" and "iPwn".
The mightiest and most fearsome commander was "titmouse", and "Slugbo" was the most glorious defender who slaughtered enemy hosts at his gates staining the lands around his villages with their blood.
We, the Travian-Team, want to thank you who stayed until the end for your overwhelming loyalty and the understanding that you showed us when something wasn't running as smooth as it should have.
Best regards,
Your Travian-Team
It was a pleasure playing with the people in my alliance and our Meta. Thank you all for the support you gave hubby, a.k.a. Slugbo, in his quest to make certain that KGB (a.k.a Red Dawn) was not the only alliance with a leveled up WW at end game. He could not have done it without all of you.
It has been a wild year. Slugbo and I will probably not be coming back to this game again. Real life takes precedence. It will be nice to be able to turn the computers off at the end of the day. ;-) Oh and sleep. That is something we've been lacking recently too.

Congrats Ken for getting the highest defender. I as well will not be returning to Travian. Real life does take priority over a game for sure. I am following your blog and will keep in touch through here and your e-mail. Big hugs still coming your way :)

Energise Yourself At Boot Camp

Complete this Energy Boot Camp and you’ll find yourself more determined to stick to a weight-loss routine.
THE rich and the famous have celebrity personal trainers to whip them into shape. For the rest of us, the next best thing is to enroll in Willow Stream Spa’s Energy Boot Camp.
What has a luxury spa at Fairmont Singapore to do with a hardcore boot camp? Trevor Studd, director of Willow Stream Spa, believes that taking part in the Energy Boot Camp will help you find the energy to grow and develop further.
Thankfully, that growing bit has nothing to do with your body weight. On the contrary, the Energy Boot Camp is a one month, 12-session exercise regimen that will grow your endurance threshold and motivate you in keeping to whatever weight-loss resolutions you may have made at the beginning of the year.
Pay $350 and get coached on a series of light exercises, agility drills and martial arts by Willow Stream Spa’s fitness trainers.
There’s a catch, though. You have to sign up for and complete all 12 sessions — which works out to less than $30 per session. Roping in a buddy and egging each other on may be a wise decision in this case.
And if you are usually still asleep at 8.30am, it’s time to shake up your sleep routine. That’s because these sessions take place from 7am to 8am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for four consecutive weeks.
But after the pain comes the pleasure. Willow Stream Spa non-members who finish the entire course of Energy Boot Camp will be rewarded with a 60-minute Relaxation massage worth more than $140.
And of course, you’ll also be amply rewarded with what Trevor describes as “increased stamina, heightened discipline and a great sense of achievement”.
For enquiries and reservations, call 6431 5600 or email willowstream.enquiries@fairmont.com

Fellow a cappella-ite,When I was first learning to arrange collegiate a cappella music,there was a distressing lack of resources available: my group had few arrangers, and I was told to just go do it, no help whatsoever.What's more, there was very little sharing of information between groups.
In the name of goodwill and learning, I'm trying to develop an online Guide to A Cappella Arranging, including free arrangements: http://www.smartermusic.us/a-cappella-arranging/
If you're an established group with a proud tradition of excellent arranging, I'd very much enjoy having a conversation or two with your best arrangers and share some effective techniques! If you're a new group or have people interested in learning to arrange, I urge you to send them over to the website.
The site is still being built, with plenty more posts/pages on theway. With some luck (and if there's enough interest), I hope we canimprove the quality of collegiate a cappella arranging nationwide --which would certainly be excellent for everybody! Please drop me an email or give me a call if you're interested or just have a crazy idea bouncing around.

Nellie Tan ~ An Inspiration To 'Beat Cancer'
http://beatcancer10.blogspot.com/
http://www.parkwaycancercentre.com/healthnews/english/January2009/004_newsandevents_healthnews_2009_jan1.htm
Nellie Tan, 42, had just returned from a short getaway in 2006 when she felt a slight discomfort in her stomach.
The doctor suspected urinary tract infection, and Nellie, an executive secretary in a bank, didn't think much about it.
Then, things got worse.
"It started with a cramp attack, which lasted for about 10 minutes," she recalls. "I was unable to move, felt faint and broke out in a cold sweat."
A week later, she had another attack.
Nellie consulted a gynaecologist. An ultrasound scan revealed a 10-cm tumour overlapping her right ovary. Additional scans confirmed that the tumour was likely to be cancerous.
It was a day she will never forget.
"The doctor asked that we consider immediate surgery to remove not just the ovaries but also the fallopian tubes and the womb – a total hysterectomy!" she recalls.
"My mind was spinning. How could this be?" she adds. "Just three weeks ago, I was enjoying the cool mountain air of beautiful Cameron Highlands. Now, I'm in the clutches of cancer."
Despite her emotional turmoil, Nellie agreed to the surgery at once, and she was rolled into the operating theatre the next day. It went smoothly, but tests revealed she had stage 3 cancer.
She was given a 30 per cent chance of survival.
Finding hope
At the same time, Nellie's husband George Lee came across a book that "changed their lives".
Written by the medical director of Parkway Cancer Centre and senior consultant medical oncologist Dr Ang Peng Tiam, it was titled "Doctor, I have cancer. Can you help me?"
During a period when they desperately needed strength, Dr Ang's book – filled with hope and information on how even the most aggressive cancers can be stopped from spreading and perhaps even cured – provided it.
"The book put it all together for me, from what others have had to go through to what expectations I should carry with me as I walked down this warpath," says Nellie.
"I was going to try to be as positive as I could and if mind over matter had anything to do with it, I would give it a good try!" she remembers telling herself.
They went to Dr Ang and Nellie started chemotherapy. The next three months proved to be draining and filled with sleepless nights, but she remained positive and emerged from her sixth and last chemotherapy session relieved and excited, eagerly anticipating the final results of the treatment.
On 16 June, 2006, as Nellie and hubby held hands in front of Dr Ang, he revealed her PET scan results: Her cancer was in full remission.
Sharing her strength
Remembering how the book and experiences of others gave them hope, Nellie and George started a cancer blog titled "Beating Cancer Now!: 10 Things We Did Right".
Their blog can be found at http://beatcancer10.blogspot.com/
The project, kicked off in part to give her something to focus on during her chemotherapy days, also aims to get women to "listen to their body" and help others hit with ovarian cancer know that it's not the end of the world.
And when she was asked to appear on Channel NewsAsia's "A Journey of Hope" – a television programme on cancer survivors – last year, Nellie agreed.
"After watching the episode in full, I was glad I plucked up the courage," she says.
"The message on ovarian cancer must be told to more women. Only with an increase in awareness, can this insidious cancer be minimised, if not stopped."
Since then, Nellie has gone on to scale new heights, including climbing the Great Wall of China with her mother and her sister – also a cancer survivor – by her side.
She also quit her banking job and started her own business, a childcare centre, in April 2007. She now runs two branches, and loves her work and the 150 children under their care.
Three years on, Nellie says the cancer chapter has taught her to appreciate life, living it to the full and without fear.
"It has made me stronger as a person because there is nothing in this world that I cannot tackle if I can fight cancer," she says. "Even if a relapse were to happen, I will simply continue to stay strong and positive to fight it again."

Some People Think Too Much ~ PGA

Some people think too much. That is probably true. But what is also true is that some people think too little.
People, who think too little, get a lot done faster, but may be slowed down considerably by un-expected obstacles along with un-prepared solutions.
People, who think too much, is slow to start work, but may catch up when unexpected obstacles are identified along with prepared solutions.
We need both types of people and most importantly, we need to BE --- BOTH.

Poem ~ I Have a Spelling Checker ~ Anonymous
The Spelling-Checker does not check every mistake. Here’s a poem to illustrate this. Try it in a word processor and see.
I Have a Spelling Checker
(Anonymous)
I halve a spelling checker;
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I dew not sea.
I've sent this message threw it,
And I'm shore pleased to no
It's letter perfect in its weigh;
My checker tolled me sew.

Dennis Kweh ~ He Overcame The Odds, One At A Time
By Esther Ng
TODAY Newspaper,
Thursday, March 5, 2009 TODAY
HE WAS born with a rare disease that made his lungs shrink over time.
Because of Morquio Brailsford disease, a basic activity such as walking was difficult for Mr Dennis Kweh (picture) because he was frequently out of breath.
He was also born with spinal sclerosis — a condition that curves the spine — which stunted his growth.
Yet Mr Kweh took these disabilities in his stride, never envying his classmates who could play football or other sports.
Instead, the 47-year-old librarian earned himself three degrees. Besides one in arts, he also has an honours degree in social sciences from the National University of Singapore. In 2001, he graduated with a Master of Science in Information Studies from Nanyang Technological University.
“He’s a very optimistic and determined person. In NUS, there are lots of stairs. But Dennis, with his walking stick, was not deterred,” said Mr Kliff Ang, who befriended Mr Kweh in university.
Because of glaucoma, Mr Kweh lost the use of one eye 20 years ago. Five years ago, he started using a wheelchair to get around because it became increasingly strenuous to walk.
And it will be in his motorised wheelchair that Mr Kweh will make a roadtrip — dubbed Adventure200 — around Singapore from April 21 to 23. He intends to cover about 200km of roads and rugged terrain including MacRitchie Reservoir, Mount Faber and South Buona Vista Road to raise $200,000 — or a dollar for every metre he travels — for the Spastic Children’s Association of Singapore (SCAS).
The trip is also a personal and civic challenge for Mr Kweh, who had been rejected — because of safety concerns — each time he tried to take part in a marathon.
“Adventure200 is also a challenge of mine to get (myself) out of my comfort zone,” he said.
Mr Kweh will be accompanied by a team of eight volunteers and friends. To donate, visit http://www.a200.sg/ or call Start Centre at 6-743-0262.

Dennis Kweh ~ He Overcame The Odds, One At A Time
By Esther Ng
TODAY Newspaper,
Thursday, March 5, 2009 TODAY
HE WAS born with a rare disease that made his lungs shrink over time.
Because of Morquio Brailsford disease, a basic activity such as walking was difficult for Mr Dennis Kweh (picture) because he was frequently out of breath.
He was also born with spinal sclerosis — a condition that curves the spine — which stunted his growth.
Yet Mr Kweh took these disabilities in his stride, never envying his classmates who could play football or other sports.
Instead, the 47-year-old librarian earned himself three degrees. Besides one in arts, he also has an honours degree in social sciences from the National University of Singapore. In 2001, he graduated with a Master of Science in Information Studies from Nanyang Technological University.
“He’s a very optimistic and determined person. In NUS, there are lots of stairs. But Dennis, with his walking stick, was not deterred,” said Mr Kliff Ang, who befriended Mr Kweh in university.
Because of glaucoma, Mr Kweh lost the use of one eye 20 years ago. Five years ago, he started using a wheelchair to get around because it became increasingly strenuous to walk.
And it will be in his motorised wheelchair that Mr Kweh will make a roadtrip — dubbed Adventure200 — around Singapore from April 21 to 23. He intends to cover about 200km of roads and rugged terrain including MacRitchie Reservoir, Mount Faber and South Buona Vista Road to raise $200,000 — or a dollar for every metre he travels — for the Spastic Children’s Association of Singapore (SCAS).
The trip is also a personal and civic challenge for Mr Kweh, who had been rejected — because of safety concerns — each time he tried to take part in a marathon.
“Adventure200 is also a challenge of mine to get (myself) out of my comfort zone,” he said.
Mr Kweh will be accompanied by a team of eight volunteers and friends. To donate, visit http://www.a200.sg/ or call Start Centre at 6-743-0262.

Chain Email Hoax ~ An Emailed Explanation
.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Hi,
First of all, my apology for this mass email of which I feel is important.
Wow! This Chain email has been around since 2005. I did a search on the internet for this. This Chain Email is a hoax.
I hope I’ll be able to catch most (if not all) of you before more damage is done. The person (or persons) who started this email works on our human weakness of “Fear” & “Greed”. I am quite sure that I too may have fallen for them in the past. Let’s learn from this and move on.
The text (from the following 2 emails) from this website…
http://www.mail-archive.com/jaker@yahoogroups.com/msg00880.html
…best explains this. The text (from the following 2 emails) can also be found in the attachment below.
Have a good day.
P.S. → no offence intended & no offence taken. Please try not to reply unless it is really necessary.
