  I just learn a new trick after watching it on YouTube. Yes, I managed to balance an egg. It took me only 5 minutes to do it. It is not an impossible task. Believe me anyone can do it. The trick is to slant is to 87º. Go try it! By the way, the egg is uncooked.

• Boxing Day

  Today is Boxing Day and it is celebrated by most Commonwealth country such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and UK. I am not sure why Malaysia is left out. No it is not a day to wrestle. Traditionally it is a day where the bosses give out gifts to the employees and the poor. Box as in Christmas box.

  In some places, some families will receive a box full of goodies after Christmas Day. Boxes are given out. Some people will box up all the Christmas decoration.

  For me, I have to work on Boxing Day. Sigh.

• US Quarters Collection

  I like the US quarters. If you look carefully, you can see a picture on the coin that is related to the state. I always want a full set. As I was surfing ebay, I saw a set being auction. In fact there were a few sellers. I managed to get a set of 88 coins with 44 states. It is just priceless. I must have gotten this DNA from my mother, she collects coins too. I wonder will I inherit her collection in the future.

  
  

  

  

  

  
  

• Fridge Magnets

  I love collecting fridge magnets. Whenever I travel to a new place on vacation or business trip, I will definitely get a magnet from the souvenir shop. I got a medium size fridge and now it is filled with magnets. Hey if you can send me a magnet from your state or country, I will greatly appreciate it. 😛

  My children broke some of my magnets when playing with it. I have to take note in the future, to avoid getting those breakable ones. However some of the poor quality magnets do leave a stain on my fridge.

  
  

  

  

  
  

• Rubik Cube

  I started playing Rubik cube when it was first introduce to public that was in 1980. I remembered mine came with a formula sheet. My brother and I learn the formula since then. I played it so much that I was told by the school prefect not to bring it to school.

  Anyway, the formula stayed with me all these years. There was one step I forgotten exactly how to do but I improvise. Oh I love solving this type of problem solving gadgets. It is fun and makes my adrenaline high. 😉

  
  

  
  

• Paid Post

  Thanks to Google, I have been seeing lots less paid post or blog posts in many blogs. Will this be for long or not? It seems that Google has penalized a lot of bloggers for doing paid post. However there are some who escape from it. I wonder how? Maybe Google cannot really tell whether a link is paid or not if blogger does not specify it.

  Sorry to say that Google has made a lot of bloggers unhappy because these bloggers made a lot less. Oh well, lets hope a competition will arise to save these bloggers.
