again people . **scratching own head**, How'd you feel hearing your country's official national anthem being sung by a person from a different country? Let's say you're from Uganda and you hear a chinese singing Uganda's national anthem. . Here is South Africa's official national anthem. So please let's make the world sing our Countries' national anthems by submitting them here. And if your country has qualified to participate in this year's World Cup competition, say it after the song.

N.B = You're not the only person from your country who's posting on MyOpera so please, make sure you give us correct lyrics of the song!

Our national anthem is made up of these songs >>> Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika and Die Stem / The Call of South Africa

First Part



Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo
Yizwa imithandazo yethu
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.

Second Part

Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso.
O fedise dintwa la matshwenyeho.
O se boloke.
O se boloke setjhaba sa heso.
Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika.[/FONT]

Third Part

Uit die blou van onse hemel.
Uit die diepte van ons see.
Oor ons ewige gebergtes.
Waar die kranse antwoord gee.

Fourth Part

Sounds the call to come together.
And united we shall stand.
Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.[/ALIGN][/FONT]


There "YOU" it my lovely people, it's your turn now!

For languages like chinese and some others, please use the simplified version. . I hope you understand!

South Africa is been making me puke lately. That's why I didn't write anything about what's happening here but I can assure you that lot and lot of kaak(sh*t) is taking place here. Surely you heard about the sad passing of the apartheid angel, Eugène Terre'Blanche . Oh and the fight between Julias Malema and the BBC journalist, Andre Visagie and an E.TV analyst! Damn these stupid people just love making news! I just hope South Africa is going to be divided because of this stupid and immature motherbling*blings

Now that's not what I wanted to talk about since I'm not interested in such things!

What I wanna say on this post is about people.

People whose job is to look after the residents of our country.

As far as "living healthy or whatever" is concerned. mxm.

It seems as if these people have different mind at the moment!



Here are some low pixel images I captured using my 0.3 megapixel phone's camera. The smell wasn't good and my big nose took more of it than it should! Please tell me what you think about what you see! South African Municipal workers are at war! .

When a car is full of dirt, you wash it right? Or maybe you take it to a nearby "CAR WASH" as they are called. Holo3D's car wash, Opera's car wash(just giving an example) Some people hate this because , (for the first one) You get soaked and tired. As for the "CAR WASH" process, you know that some guys will clean it for you and you pay. So now the strike in S.A by the municipal workers, has introduced a new thing! Free kaka car wash . Confusing , isn't it? But it's simple you just drive past some dirty water from a broken sewerage pipe running on the road then your car is clean!


Well but the question is, is it really clean? According to the pickets , it is. Now just take a closer look at these water that we're talking about.

Please guys this is not a red wine so make sure you don't lick your lips for this!


People who know a lot often say, "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS". Buy just looking at the man on the next picture, you'll exactly have a clear image of how I was talking about up there. "IT IS BETTER IN PICTURES"



P.S : It wasn't that easy updating this post because of Slow internet connection on my brick like boring phone!. . Thanx I finally managed to put it together!

hello howzit My Opera lovers . I just discovered this little thing so I thought it'd be good to share with you guys(only those who never heard it before, or am I the first to see and write about this?) ah no , don't worry it's ok.
Ok here we go my friends, We all know that they say Opera mini is a fast, free and easy to use browser. which is true, isn't it? We know how many shortcuts come with our lovely browser, Opera mini ofcourse and we love using them because shortcuts really saves time![/U] And now we want to save money! How do we do that, because we know that some of our network operators charge too much for data sent/received. Go to the settings, provided you have opened your Opera mini browser and check the "load images" box and uncheck the "mobile view" box so that the pages will require you to use the magnifying tool. Visit any of your favorite website and when still loading stop it before it completes itself. Less kilobytes transfered but more viewing pleasure experienced. If you're fortunate the page will need to be zoomed. Look at the it carefully before zooming it and you'll see that images are displayed, zoom it and see the difference! You can write more about this by leaving your comments. Please people.
Until then
Holo3D
P.S : You can also try the Opera browser for your computer and Opera mobile for your smartphone

I never thought I could write this soon this year! But something forced me to! Iyoh I had a very long day yesterday(the drama still continues) Fought with my boring electronic machines. They really gave me a hard time believe you in me. Kicked me with their robotic sidekicks oouch! Like I indicated some couple of days ago that there is a war going on between the machines and their leader. So today I had to start from scratch damn It true that if you love something, it will always put you under a very intense pressure. Just like some of the people we try to live this life with. I packed the machine with some necessary weapons in order for it to be ready for a war. This wasn't easy though. I mean an hour of installing the Windows 7 predecessor wasn't sweet at all. All the rebooting and slow progressing and processing. When am I going to lay my hands on the so called 7 thing? Setup is kaak. After the shield is complete you think oh what a relief then comes this > Please wait while Windows checks your computer's performance.. What is this? It is very slow why can't you skip this and continue? Hay no man! This consumed my lovely 30 minutes of the day. Damn(again)
You know I can't operate this stubborn machine with only Operating system software. So I had to install some application system softwares so that many of the so called hard tasks be simplified

Eish I'm still way back(behind) with this technological life you know. No Windows 7 and to add on that, still using the old 2007 package.
oh ok back to the applications now, started with the above old version of Office package and damn had to wait the whole twelve minutes for the robot to complete the installation. »» (0:12:42.01) = from hours to milliseconds. Loaded some applications too, Opera and other boring ones including the gimp. I hate this but because some times combination can breeds good results, it's back on board. You all know Microsoft's style for the office activation. I have no internet connection so I rely on my phone's R 1.00 airtime to connect to the web. Is that what you call dial~up connection? My boring mobile was without network connection(even today .) so I can't initiate a dial up on a no-network-device. Another long hours(more than 24 hours) of waiting for our operator to fix the waves problem.

Now the from nowhere compatibility problem!

Who are these machines listening to? God or The Devil? I lied to myself yesterday. "These programs used to run smoothly, so they continue their smooth running since the O.S is still the same, is just that there was a re-doing". Which you call a reinstallation. The programs came with a sheep face. I smiled back at them and inserted the media discs one at a time but they didn't respond positively. *:angry:* Who am I pointing my wrath to? So I had to run them using the compatibility wizard which is one hell of the long turn initiator. I don't like you! Who are you looking at? Don't worry I'm talking about that wizard here. hmmm whatever!
