Spent the weekend reading up for today's Statistics test which had turned out to be quite OK. In between calculating the probabilities to hypothetical situations, I managed to set up my brother's blog, tried McDonalds' new menu items, visited KwangYang's travelblog, watched The Amazing Race, got myself a Gmail account (a big thanks to Jeremy!), and read The Alchemist.

My younger brother has finally decided to hop on to the bandwagon; he now pens a blog entitled Pro-xinmetriz (don't ask why). Do give it a visit. Spurred on by Huai Bin's (of Sixthseal fame) favourable review, I jogged to a nearby McDonald's and gave McD's Crispy Prawn Burger and Prawn Wrappers a go. The verdict: The prawn burger was rather good but give the Prawn Wrappers a miss; it tasted oddly like one particular brand of junk food and it wasn't really worth the money.

The wise-cracking KwangYang (a friend of mine) is back with a brand new travelblog; go read about his Thai Escapade in Tom Yam Soup for The Heartless Soul. He also penned an equally interesting read in MY to NZ, a travelblog he started while backpacking in New Zealand last year. Speaking of travelling, the new season of The Amazing Race is here. Watched the rerun on AXN on Sunday morning; new twists to the game like Yield will no doubt tip the balance of favourability at the most crucial of moments. Have a feeling that this season will be the best yet.

Thanks to Jeremy of Orange-Works, I've got myself 1GB of free email storage at Gmail! The invitation-based system that the Gmail team is employing is not exactly fair; it creates artificial demand by limiting supply. Give Jeremy's blog a visit; he still has several invitations to give away. While you're there, check out his comment box; it's really cool and has got to be the first of its kind. Another first of its kind: The Alchemist. The book is mind-bogglingly simple yet deep in its message. It's a very philosophical piece of work; definitely warrants a second helping.

To make the photo above somewhat relevant to this post, I would like to share Kenny Chesney's When the Sun Goes Down (taken offline). It's a rather catchy tune, but in tandem with my interpretation of fair use, it'll be up for only a short period of time. You'll love the song, that I promise.
