My First Chronograph Watch

My Seiko Chronograph* I recently got this timekeeping piece as a birthday present, it's my first ever chronograph wristwatch. pENguiN~ thought that since I am always late for my appointments, a watch would prove useful to remind me to be on time (...NOT). She also said that, having a good wristwatch makes a man :P. Talking about making a man, a friend of mine (I'm not sure if he visits this blog :P) gave me this piece of advice some time back. Apparently he got it from his father. I still remember it because I felt it was quite true and seems practical enough. He said, "There are a few things that a man should make sure that he has, one of it is a pair of good shoes and another is a good wristwatch."

The Everglide Titan GamingMat

I recently bought myself a so called professional mousing surface from Everglide . It's the cloth/fabric-based Titan GamingMat , and it incorporates Everglide's award-winning Fibertek Surface, which based on what I've read from the website, is actually a uniquely woven fabric surface that will ensure that the optical mice will track flawlessly with even and constant acceleration throughout it's surface. It will also provide an almost frictionless (a miniscule amount of friction is imperative) surface for the mouse feet to glide on.

The Cat

A very typical mackerel Malaysian cat " The cat (or domestic cat , house cat ) is a small domesticated carnivorous mammal. It is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to destroy vermin. A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. Intelligent, the cat can be trained to obey simple commands, and has been known to teach itself to manipulate simple mechanisms " - more in Wikipedia I also got to know that cats have been around humans for at least 9,500 years and in ancient Egypt they are worshipped as gods and the best part, back then one had to observe special mourning and burial fomalities if one's household cat were to pass away. That might include mummification and shaving of one's eyebrows, like how one would handle the passing of a family member. On the extreme, killing a cat, unintentionally or otherwise would result in a death penalty to the perpetrator. But, there were also times where cats were put into a bad light.
