REDdy Day

two days ago, it was TPM sports carnival... it was a super SUPER tiring day... played volleyball under the big, round, red, incensed, lethal SUN!!!!!!
and now i have a really bad sunburn.... with my fully-cooked-lobster-like-face and my kena-some-weird-disease-like-hand.... everything is so red... (maybe pink is better description =p)
& also played this water war thingy.... something like a paint ball game.. but instead of paint ball guns, we used water guns with red paint inside >.< we wore some rain coat as protection...
But, we ended up getting ourselves soaked and colored with red paint by chasing & playing around with the paint after the closing ceremony...
i admit it... it was really fun =) & a really REDdy day =p
Alert: Finals is next week!!!!!!!! >.< & i have a mid term test tomorrow.. how S-T-U-P-I-D!!!!

It's not true bout the Reversal Pin number thingy.. (got this mail)

BUSINESS NEWS ATM scam: Don't reverse your PIN
Tue, 28 Nov 2006
Absa has quashed claims by a circulating email indicating that ATM users can type their pin numbers in reverse to alert police of suspicious people waiting to rob them of their cash.
Absa spokesperson Errol Smith said the circulating email was incorrect and disappointing.
"We have become aware that there's a circulating email claiming that if ATM users type in their pin in reverse the police would come and assist them at a specific ATM," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
"We want to warn our customers that this ATM pin reversal functionality does not exist at Absa ATMs. By entering your pin number in reverse you will not notify the police in anyway, nor will cash be dispensed from ATMs."
Help 'on its way'
According to the email, when ATM users suspect any unbecoming behaviour, they can simply use their PINs in reverse and still get their cash knowing that help is on its way.
But Smith warns that doing so could result in the ATM refusing the transaction or a restrictive hold being placed on the account holder's card.
"If a pin number is entered in reverse, the ATM will decline the transaction and display the error message: invalid pin entered."
He also refuted claims by the email that this pin information was broadcast on TV.
"Absa has no knowledge of such a broadcast which informed people that the PIN function was seldom used because people did not know it existed."
The bank was investigating the origins of the email.

Reversal Pin Number

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.
For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321.
The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to The robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.
This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it isseldom used because people don't know it exists.

**got this e-mail... but... can this be true? can this be trusted? hmm....**
