Mullin's Ice Cream

Bought a pot of this ice cream today and it is delicious! I got a Honeycomb Hunnie Bee and it tastes very good. It is currently half price for only about £1.80 in Tesco. You won't regret it.

Photo I took on Bedford Street

I was very surprised today when Visha told me she saw a photo I took in the city centre! I wasn't told about it by The National Trust as I uploaded this to the Picture Yourself website a while ago. I just didn't expect the photo to be this huge, and my name to be so visible!! BTW, I didn't add the "Photographed by" line via Photoshop. I am actually quite happy and please with myself. Of course, I have to thank the model in the photo, none other than CH, who visited me last year. CH, if you are reading this, told you you would be famous in NI :)

If you are interested to see this photo, it is on Bedford Street opposite Ulster Hall.

Free music on your computer with Spotify

I have heard about this website for some time now but was never motivated enough to actually try it out. Anyway, read about it again today and decided to give it a try - and I was glad I did! All you have to do is register and download a tiny application. From that software, you can search for songs available almost instantaniously! The speed is surprisingly fast, and you can find from French to even Chinese songs! Yes Chinese songs! I even tried some really really old ones like Leon Lai. Others I found was Faye Wong, Sun Yan-Zi...

All you have to put up with is some ads on the sidebar and also between songs, but hey it's free!

Try it out for yourself today!

LittleBigPlanet

Yes, that's Sack Boy from LittleBigPlanet. Isn't it cute! Got it for free when I joined their Facebook group. If you don't already know, LBP is a game for PS3. Very entertaining and very creative! One of the best PS3 games!

Pizza making

Decided to try to make a pizza from scratch over the weekend. Found some recipes online and used this. It's easy to follow with photos and the pizza bread actually tasted very good. I made it quite thin so it is quite crispy. Other ingredients: tomatoes, pineapples, peppers, mushrooms and also... tofu! Yes, tofu, actually tasted quite well. Must remember to first coat the tofu with some salt though, to give it some taste. I got the wrong type of mozarella cheese, hence the topping wasn't as nice as I was hoping for. There's always next time, and I will remember to get the correct ones. Oh, the tomato paste, or the piazzaiola, was also home made according to the recipe in the website. Overall a good recipe to follow and I would recommend it if you are thinking of trying it out!

Sound of Music | Central Station Antwerp (Belgium)

Must watch! Very good. A bit like the T-Mobile dance in the UK. This is the Belgium one dancing along to The Sound of Music's Do Re Mi by Julie Andrews.

bing.com - Microsoft's new search engine

Bing (a highly unusual name IMO, but then so is Google and Yahoo) is the new search engine from Microsoft to rival that of Google and Yahoo. It is still in the Beta but you can always try it out. First look at the homepage, I noticed the very weird choice for the background. Seems to be Guilin in China, but I am not too sure. I thought it could be a rotating background, so I refreshed my screen but no, it stayed the same.

The search is pretty much the same as Google search. You can choose between Web, Images, Shopping, News and etc. The Shopping search is provided by Ciao, owned by Microsoft now. The web search seems faster compared to the old sluggish MSN Live Search.

Microsoft's plan is of course to get a higher search engine market share. But is it enough to win over the internet users? Furthermore, asking someone to "Google it" sounds much better and more natural than asking someone to "Bing it", don't you think? Only time will tell.

Edit: The background changes, perhaps everyday :D

Drag Me to Hell

This is a surprisingly good horror film, if you like this genre. It is directed by Sam Raimi, the director of Spiderman trilogy.

A short description of the movie copy and pasted from imdb.com:

A loan officer ordered to evict an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse, which turns her life into a living hell. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.

After watching countless horror movies that promised a lot but delivered none, this has to be the best horror movie for some time now. There is something quite comical about the movie as well, and the music reminded me of Spiderman. Overall, I highly recommend this movie.

p/s: if you are easily frightened, I would suggest that you not hold any popcorn or drinks while watching this :D
