This would make much sense if the reason behind the prize isn't about his present achievements, but his future ones. Somehow it just looks more like it was awarded for a political reason.
MJ's latest single is in fact not the latest. It was really recorded 18 years ago, probably a rejected song.
This is sad, very sad. MJ's reputation was not good to start with before he passed away, and those guys making money off him just won't let that slide end. They had to dig up some old crap and sell it as a new product. To make matters worse, this ugly fact just went public.
He's dead, let him rest in peace.
I am excited about the restocking of the Lockerz goodies. It will be happening on the 15th this month, restocking several times from 6pm that day to 1pm on the next, in EDT. EDT is 12 hours behind my timezone at GMT+8, so 6pm EDT on the 15th is 6am on the 16th for me.
That means I can begin to redeem at 6am on Friday.
I'm pretty convinced it isn't a scam, since their FB page has over 35,000 fans and there are many people on the web who claim to have received something. Also, SG is one of the countries they have confirmed that they can mail to. =D
Anyway, they have new stuff for the event this month in addition to what they offered last month.

The number on the right is the number of points (PTZ) required. Didn't copy the games.
I can probably scrape up about 250 PTZ by then, so the best thing I can get is... a Wii console. The Wii Fit is a game, while Wii Fitness with Board is the set of equipment you use with Wii Fit. Not sure if I want a Wii though.
I can also get an iPod 4GB Shuffle instead, which is just about as useless to me. Maybe I'll ask my bro and see if he wants anything.

I'll continue to accumulate the points. Too bad they don't offer interest rates for saving PTZ.
I think I've added too much Worcestershire sauce in the jerky marinate. Now the whole flat is filled with its smell while I'm baking it at about 60-70 degrees Celsius. Not that it's unpleasant, but the jerky's future isn't looking too bright.
I'm now considering marinating my next batch in just Tabasco and salt and some soy sauce. It's probably possible if I just use salt, but adding something else would help with the flavour. For now, I'll just wait for the current batch to finish drying in the oven.
Prudential is offering a rather interesting plan, a 5-year single premium as they call it. The name is PRUinvestor Guaranteed Plus, which is thus named because it guarantees a 100% capital return and a compound interest of 2.5% per annum after 5 years.
The minimum is a 5k SGD investment (premium) and, to simplify the interest rates for the less mathematically-inclined (not sure if I'm phrasing this right), for every S$10,000 I invest I get S$11,314 after 5 years.
Not too bad really. In fact it is really good, compared to the fixed deposits at Hong Leong Finance which are currently at 0.8% p.a. (for 3 years only, less time = lower %) for up for S$50,000.
I'm hooked. Got to sign up before the offer ends in 2 weeks' time.
The courier came to deliver my books from OpenTrolley a few hours ago, but my door was closed so I couldn't hear him screaming "POSTMAN!!!" at the gate. My doorbell is broken and my family has never fixed it so that we can ignore salesmen, fake monks and evangelists more conveniently and politely. Anyone who visits us whom we don't mind seeing are usually provided with our phone numbers.
Well, not that I answer my calls, since I leave my handphone in silent mode 24/7 and I can't sense the vibration most of the time, for one reason or another. You wouldn't believe how many missed calls I have in my phone's list, all of which I ignore. I know my action (or the lack of it, rather) is going to harm me someday, but for now I don't care. If it's actually urgent, they would call me repeatedly anyway.
The postman left the Delivery Advice (that's what it says at the top of the card) at my door saying he was here at 4pm. Unfortunately this means I have to rearrange a redelivery after one whole working day. At least this means I will get my books by Saturday, if I contact them tomorrow.
Another potential meme, called the Bachelor Frog. Basically you type above and below the frog's head what a bachelor does. This first pic, I can relate to.
This second pic, I can't relate to but it's too funny not to upload it here.
After 6 hours of drying in the oven, the jerky is finally ready. I was right, I added too much Worcestershire sauce. Partial success is the best I can call it. Next time, I'll just use salt and pepper.
The thinner strips are already brittle but the thicker ones are perfectly dried except for those small bits of fats that are still a little wet. =(
It's actually quite easy, except for the grill that I had to make out of aluminium foil and satay sticks so that I don't have to dirty the metal grill.
