Are You Being Spied On?

Are you one of those employees who love to steal a little time off from work to check your Facebook account, shop on eBay or even blog and chat with a friend or two on YM? I remember when I was still working at my last job and I was guilty of the same thing. FB was not the hottest craze back then but YM was so I used to log in to YM daily just to keep things alive when work gets too dull to bear. I think almost everyone cheats a little at work and though it sounds harmless enough, the reality isn't so.

Nowadays, employers have the ability to monitor their employees every move ... online that is! Thanks to new technology and Keylogger methods, your employer can easily monitor your online activities. And if you happen to be under the reins of a strict boss, you might just be reprimanded for wasting company time with your FB, blogging or chatting activities during office hours!

Have you heard of the Stealth iBot Computer Spying Tool? This is how it looks like and it works by secretly capturing passwords, chats, screenshots and more of your online activities.

After inserting the USB, in just 5 seconds this little device will start monitoring all computer activity on all user accounts. It works with all PCs and laptops and it also has the ability to store up to 10,000 screenshots and virtually unlimited text!

Sounds pretty scary to me if this little device can detect your password but in some cases this item actually comes in handy. Like if you have children at home; then your purpose to monitor their online activities is sufficiently justified. After all, how many times have we read horror stories on little children being lured from their homes and eventually kidnapped, brutally murdered after befriending a stranger online?

Anyway, it's great that I'm working from home and I have no superior or power-crazy authority hovering and watching my every move with extra strict surveillance. The freedom and trust to be on my own actually gives me the boost and drive to be even more productive in what I do. So it's all good for me here inside my home-office. In fact, I've just completed a job for a client, and now I have a little free time to enjoy. Perhaps I'll log in to my FB account or look up somebody on YM for a little chat. After all, I have no boss to answer to and no worries about wasting company time! Thanks for reading and have a wonderful Tuesday!

MM - Overboard by Justin Bieber **

I have never been a Justin Bieber fan. Even when the rest of the world was going crazy over this little dude, I just didn't get the Justin fever. Until recently that is after watching an episode of THS: Justin Bieber on E! where his true story was unraveled; depicting his will and determination to arrive at his current stardom. Only then did I get the fascination with this talented young boy and now, I'm a fan and proud to admit it too!

Anyway, I heard this song on the radio tonight and instantly fell in love with it. I give you now Overboard by Justin Bieber featuring Jessica Jarrell. Happy listening and have a beautiful Music Monday!

European Escapade - Trafalgar Square

From Hotel Novotel in Paddington, we made our way to Leicester Square before proceeding to Trafalgar Square. When we arrived, Leicester Square was jam-packed with people and police security and I wondered what major London events were going on that day.

Tight security

The crowd got louder as we approached the central square and we realized that we had unknowingly walked into the UK Premiere of Zac Efron's new movie Charlie St. Cloud!

Presenting Zac Efron!

Excitement filled the air and the crowd was wild; loudly chanting for Zac Efron with loyal fans (mostly girls) waving banners and screaming his name every few minutes!

We want Zac Efron!

I wanted to wait for Zac Efron to make his appearance but that would have set us back by another hour at least so I settled for a picture of me in the crowd instead.

At the Premiere!

Our visit to Trafalgar Square was memorable in so many ways. As one of the most famous squares in UK and worldwide; there were plenty of things to see, history to soak and of course pictures to take.

Water fountains

The latest addition to the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, Nelson's Ship in a Bottle is a replica of Lord Nelson's ship Victory, designed by artist Yinka Shonibare. I've always loved the collectible ship in a bottle so I was in awe at such a gigantic display of magnificence!

Nelson's Column stands tall in the center of Trafalgar Square. This monument was built at a cost of £47,000 in commemoration of Admiral Nelson who died in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Nelson's Column

Famous for its feral pigeons at one point, Trafalgar Square is now completely void of these birds. Aside from tarnishing the physical appearance of buildings with their droppings, the birds were considered a health hazard and were gradually driven out so there were none around to feed or photograph.

Along the way, we spotted a group of B-Boys getting ready to do their routine. They were friendly and eager to pose for our cameras. While I was busy taking pictures of them; the obvious leader of the group beckoned me to come over for a snapshot, which I willingly obliged of course!

Want a picture?

Chilling with the B-Boys

It was getting colder and I was starting to feel hungry but vacation memories are important so we continued walking and snapping more pictures for our London album!

National Gallery

Around the base of Nelson's Column sit four lions, each 20 feet long and 22 feet high. Several tourists took the trouble to actually climb up to the lion and sit on the mighty king to pose for photographs. The climb up looked pretty steep and since I was wearing my booties, I did not bother to try. Patting the lion from down below was good enough for me!

My Lion

This tourist below however had other plans and we watched her climb up to pose for pictures with her girlfriend who had also climbed up after her. Initially, she seemed happy and excited but when it was time to jump down; she was suddenly crippled with fear!

Jump, Jump!

Her shrieks had gathered quite a crowd and everyone waited to see her next move. Her friends were laughing so hard, it was contagious! Almost in tears, she did look quite funny and despite the small crowd encouraging her to jump, she was truly and utterly stuck!

In the end, we friendly Malaysians offered her a helping hand .. or two! Her fear was apparent by how tightly she gripped my hand as she slowly made her way down the steep high monument; all the while shrieking, which made us laugh louder!

To the rescue!

Leaving Trafalgar Square

It felt like we had walked for miles that evening and I was exhausted. However, I didn't want to miss anything worth viewing so I endured the fatigue; stopping for pictures at Tourism Malaysia.

I ♥ Malaysia

Can't remember the name of this building!

Mariuca in London

Our next stop was Big Ben, which is actually not the tower itself but refers to the nickname of the great bell of the clock tower, located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster, London.

Loving London

London Eye

The rest of the group went ahead with the London Eye ride, scheduled for later that night. B and I were too tired to tag along so we bid the group good night. While the guys continued exploring beautiful London, B and I took a tube back to Leicester Square from Westminster Station.

At Leicester Square, we had dinner in a restaurant which serves Malaysian local dishes. I was actually hoping to find a restaurant serving Mexican or Spanish food but the ones we did come across were packed and we were too tired to wait for a table to clear. Perhaps I'll satisfy my craving for authentic Spanish food when vacationing in Spain! I hear holidays to Tenerife are having great promos right now, must check them out when we return home.Anyway, I opted for Spicy Chicken with fried rice while B had the Sweet n Sour Chicken. My dish was a tad too sweet for my liking and as expected, not spicy at all. So thank goodness for the red hot chilli oil you see here, which saved my meal and made it tasty and spicy!

Super Spicy!

By the time we finally reached Hotel Novotel in Paddington, it was late night; marking the end of another splendid day in London. Next up, Day 5 in Covent Garden!
