Mentioned about Paper, most of the people here will know this piece of paper.

The Singapore Pools was once again held the Mooncake Draw yesterday at 9.30 pm, with a jackpot prize of more than $5 million dollars.

TOTO, also known as Lotto in many other countries, is a simple lottery game. A person picks 6 numbers, each from 1 to 45. On a TOTO draw date, 6 numbers plus an additional number is drawn, which sometimes, we called as 6+1. If four or more numbers on a ticket matches the seven drawn numbers, the person wins a cash prize.

The more numbers that match, the bigger the prize. If all 6 numbers match the first 6 numbers drawn, the person becomes a jackpot winner. Minimum investment is $1 for two ordinary TOTO games.

The TOTO $5 million Special Mooncake Draw ticket.

I don’t bet regularly, only do when the jackpot prize reached more than $5 million dollars, and just for the fun of games.

How it is done

A gorgeous woman wants to get to know you, with marriage in mind.

Conned

In a recent case, Indian national Bharani Indran, 32, a software engineer in the US, was fooled by a Singaporean woman he got to know through a Yahoo Internet chatroom in September 2004. They exchanged photographs.

But the woman, Maliha Ramu, 36, sent him a picture of a gorgeous Indian actress, and he asked to marry her.

A convoluted scam followed in which he wired nearly US$45,000 to her. Meanwhile, she kept postponing their marriage date. Mr Bharani finally grew suspicious when she asked for another US$10,000 in May 2005.

He flew here and reported the scam. Maliha was jailed for six months in March.

Tips

Stay away from love at first site - chatrooms or e-mail from Internet sites, that is.

Mid-Autumn Festival or some call as Moon Cake Festival is just around the corner.

When I was young, I was very excited to carrying the colorful glass paper lanterns to play outside the house late in the night. Those days, we would light up the candles in the traditional glass paper lantern and go visit house to house in the village. The lantern created an interesting glow effect at night time.

Now, the kids will play the battery-operated plastic lantern and it come with monotone music. Also you can find the plastic lanterns in design of famous cartoon characters such as Spiderman, Hello Kitty, Superman, Transformer, etc.

This is the occasion for everyone to spend some time together with family members and friends.

eBay was created in September 1995, by Pierre Omidyar, who was living in San Jose. He wanted his site, the then called as AuctionWeb to be an online marketplace and wrote the first code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first websites of its kind in the world. The name eBay comes from the domain Omidyar used for his site. His company’s name was Echo Bay, and the eBay AuctionWeb was originally just one part of Echo Bay’s website at ebay.com. The first thing ever sold on the site was Omidyar’s broken laser pointer, which he got $14 for.

The site quickly became massively popular, as sellers came to list all sorts of odd things and buyers actually bought them. Relying on trust seemed to work remarkably well, and meant that the site could almost be left alone to run itself. The site had been designed from the start to collect a small fee on each sale, and it was this money that Omidyar used to pay for AuctionWeb’s expansion. The fees quickly added up to more than his current salary, and so he decided to quit his day job and work on the site full-time. It was at this point, in 1996, that he added the feedback facilities, to let buyers and sellers rate each other and make buying and selling safer.

In 1997, Omidyar changed AuctionWeb’s and his company’s name to eBay, which is what people had been calling the site for a long time. He began to spend a lot of money on advertising and had the eBay logo designed. It was in this year that the one-millionth item was sold.
