Friday By Rebecca Black The New Online Sensation

Image
"Looking forward to the weekend"! This phrase ended the "Friday" song by Rebecca Black which was kind of what I was feeling yesterday actually. I've only heard about her like a few days back due to massive amount of mentions over the internet which got me interested to listen to her song Friday. Rebecca Black is this amateur Youtube musician who's popularity soared for her online music video "Friday". When I checked her Youtube video this morning, the number of hits were at 17354854 hits! The cool thing was, she's just 13 years of age, which kind of reminded me of Justin Bieber. How's that for getting famous via social networks and the internet! The video was originally posted on Youtube in mid February 2011. From internet to stardom! Do check out her music video below. Also I've included the lyrics. The song itself to me is kind of catchy, monotonous maybe, but it'll keep ringing in your head after listening to it. Maybe I...

Malaysia And Singapore Telco To Lower Rates

Image
While checking out one of my friend's blog, I happened to stumble upon this news about lower roaming rates for Malaysia and Singapore telecommunications provider. A quick check at http://www.thestar.com.my confirmed it. Our Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim was quoted as saying telecommunications operators in both countries had agreed to lower their charges by up to 30% for calls and 50% for text messages. This will happen in two months time. Dr Rais further mentioned that his Singapore counterpart had agreed and that it would cover text messages, voice calls, and mobile data charges. Our very own prime minister Najib further touched on this at the 10th Asean Telmin Dialogue Session.
