Tiger Photos for the Year of Tiger

The Chinese New Year is coming. And soon it will be the year of the Tiger.

I recalled that, I had taken some Tiger photos sometime in 2007 when I was on a working trip to South Africa. These Tigers were not from South Africa, but from India.

Let this year of Tiger be a year of Achievements and Advancements.


Loading Facebook Cafe World

Somehow, recently, I noticed that the Facebook Cafe World was loading slower than before.

In the past, everything was loaded at one shot. Now, Facebook Cafe World is loading portions by portions. As a result, we can easily capture the screen sequence of the loading.


Facebook Cafe World Layout: Let the Customers Walk

I think I have one of the most unconventional layout for Facebook Cafe World. And I don’t know if such layout would get me ahead with Facebook Cafe World, but I do know, I have some fun watching the customers walk.

It was all started when I messed around with my wife’s Facebook Cafe World Game. I did so much mischief that, she made me add Cafe World game application in my own Facebook account.


Taking a Photo of the Moon

Last week, it was almost a full moon shining bright up there. I had not successfully taken any photo of a moon before; I took this opportunity to test doing so.

I took my camera and my furthest telezoom lens to somewhere I would not be disturbed and I could get a clear view of the moon. I did not attempt to look for a dark place because I am living in a city. Almost anywhere is surrounded by city light.

Everyone was doing their best to finish the food, but still there was a lot of left over food for people to bring back home.


Gaining Ground in Facebook Mafia Wars Cuba

After so long, I finally moved on to other areas in Facebook Mafia Wars game. At the moment, there were only 2 other places in Mafia Wars, Cuba and Moscow. (Bangkok was almost ready.) When I first started in these 2 places, I realized that I was starting another ball game in Mafia Wars, especially in Cuba.

In these places, I found that I had to start from ground zero in term of cash. There is absolutely 0 cash in either place. Next thing, I found that there is absolutely no use for Influence Points. The consolation was that, by default, each of these two places started with a small business which generated some income every 3 hours.


How Toastmasters have made an Impact in My Life?

“How Toastmasters have made an Impact in your life?”

These are some of the common questions being asked, during Toastmasters Club Speechcraft sessions or Demonstration Meetings. Toastmasters have changed my life for the better in many ways. This is one of the stories which I shared during such events.

How to Dominate Facebook Mafia Wars Guides Listing

I have been seeing my friends posted their Mafia Wars on the Facebook walls. And I saw the advertisement on the high number of players playing this game.

This make me curious to try out the game myself. And that was how I started playing this Mafia Wars. Throughout, I had some interesting unexpected gain as posted previously. I also have some frustration, especially on the influence points.

I did a search on the marketplace to look for products on Mafia Wars. These are some of what I found:
