Daughtry - No Surprise

2009-08-08T12:17:00.000+08:00

've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrappin' this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

Chorus
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever, just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

Chorus
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no,
As no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why

Chorus
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
(stayed till today)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Lucie Silvas - What You're Made Of

2009-07-31T13:45:00.001+08:00

Just like I predicted, We're at the point of no return
We can go backwards, and no corners have been turned.
I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim
'cause I chose the water that I'm in.

[BRIDGE]
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want

[CHORUS]
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way, You're changing, cause somethings will just never be mine,
You're not love this time ... but it's allright.

I hear you talking, but your words don't mean a thing.
I doubt you ever put your heart into anything.
It's not much to ask for, to get back what I put in,
But I chose the waters that I'm in.

[BRIDGE]
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want

[CHORUS]
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way, You're changing, cause somethings will just never be mine
You're not love this time ... but it's allright.

What's your definition of the one
What you really want him to become?
No matter what I sacrifice it's still never enough

Just like I predicted
I will sink before I swim
'cause these are the waters that I'm in

[CHORUS]
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way, You're changing, cause somethings will just never be mine
You're not love this time
You're not love this time
You're not love this time ...

powerful voice, meaningful lyrics, any reason not to listen?

G.I Joe

2009-07-25T08:29:00.003+08:00

It was one of my favourite cartoon during my childhood around 4-5 years old LOL..i still remember their song, GI Joe GI Joe !!! There's no main character in G.I Joe, G.I Joe was a team from US Armed Forces. Every character has their own talent and ability, with high-technology equipments, weapons supported from government, they always get involved to accomplish tough mission...

The character i love the most in G.I Joe definitely would be Snake-eyes and Storm master (you guys should have noticed that's 2 ninjas inside the movie, one is in white ninja suit and another in black ninja suit =D

Everybody would wonder, why most of the team are wearing the 'suit' in the movie, as far as i know, the delta suits are meant to accelerate people to the point of beyond human potential, which make them to run faster, jump higher and goodness knows what else beyond the human condition.

Yea, i'm seriously looking forward for this movie !!!

Seriously it wasn't expected to be that great compare to the trailer. The trailer that i watched seriously got me, but when i watch the movie, it didn't pull me in =( First of all, there were so much down time (bored and long story telling scenes) till the next interesting scenes. it wasn't able to keep me interested to finish up the movie...

PS: i learned that woman could be very crazy, don't simply make any promises if you couldn't do it...

In Memory of Teoh Beng Hock

2009-07-20T10:30:00.002+08:00

Leading to the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock, 30, remain a mystery in the absence of a CCTV system at the high security area of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) Selangor headquarters in Shah Alam.

While police have said the injuries suffered by Teoh were consistent with that caused by a fall, questions have been raised on what had transpired between the time he was last seen sleeping on a sofa at the 14th floor of the MACC building at 6am, slightly more than two hours after he was released from questioning, and when his body was spotted lying in a pool of blood on the fifth floor, around 1.30pm.

Much has already been said about the death of the late Mr. Teoh Beng Hock, political aide to Selangor State Government Exco member YB Ean Yong, and I understand the great anger and sadness being expressed by the public to this effect. I do not know whether what I will share here will be of any use to anyone, but I would like to express my experience of the matter as a colleague of Teoh’s in the State Government (as an aide of the Menteri Besar) in the same Selangor administration. I was not close to Teoh, but being colleagues in the same building we were of course acquainted and I would see him at State events and press conferences.

Words cannot express the deep shock that many of the aides went through when news of Teoh’s death came through. It is no different for me. The fact there this young man, aged 30, was merely assisting in an investigation of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) as a witness and not a suspect, fell to his death at the same building the MACC is located reeked suspicious from the very start. Any one of us as aides could have been equally tantamount to the treatment received by Teoh of the MACC – although the facts of this have not been determined – and this has been a traumatic time for all of us.

Deeper than the trauma stirs a great, great anger that is ready to implode. The anger stems from the knowledge that Teoh’s death is a result of MACC’s treatment towards him during interrogations. Teoh was believed to have fallen to his death from the 14^th floor of Plaza Masalam, where the MACC’s office was located. The official post-mortem report states that the cause of death was multiple injuries from a high fall. Whatever the reason for this fall – suicide or otherwise – it must be stated clearly that the MACC must be held responsible.

The MACC’s responsibility is to ensure that any case of corruption is investigated and the culprit revealed. The manner in which they acted here was most unbecoming of a Commission that is supposed to be the bastion of justice, transparency and governance. Instead, their actions shamefully display the very reversal of a commitment towards truth.

First, the case began with the mere speculation on someone’s blog that there were State Exco members involved in misallocation of funds. YB Ean Yong was one of the seven assemblymen being investigated, and the accusation in his particular case was that he had paid RM2400 for 1500 Malaysian flags used in Merdeka Day celebrations in 2008, without actually receiving them for the suppliers. The measly amount of RM2400 surely cannot justify the way in which Teoh was treated, interrogated from 6pm till 3.45am of the following day. Surely corruption cases involving millions of Ringgit are more worth the time and effort of the MACC, and not petty cases as this.

As such, even by the largest stretch of the imagination, that if this case was indeed one of corruption, it is absolutely clear that the MACC was overzealous and making a mountain out of a molehill – which in turn causes minds to question its political neutrality. If instructions were given to play up this case – and that of other assemblymen – then the independence of the MACC has all but disappeared. This incident is the final nail in its coffin, from the public’s point of view. It will be impossible for it to reclaim public trust and confidence from hereon.

Second, the manner of interrogations is also suspicious. Boon Hwa, a councillor from the Kajang town municipality, was questioned in the same case and shared at a press conference that the interrogations involved standing at attention for four hours in a row, without food or drink. Threats were made to beat him up, and mention of his family was made, should he not give the answers they wanted. He was jeered at, with humiliating calls of “Cina Bodoh!” shouted at his face – “Stupid Chinese”, an utter racist remark and itself the most shameful display of an institution of the MACC. This is a far cry from the 1Malaysia concept that the Prime Minister Najib Razak has attempted to introduce.

Although this is speculation, many wonder if Teoh was subject to similar treatment. Psychological and mental abuse that may have taken place is not the role of the MACC. It was said that Teoh was inexperienced in this regard, and being for the first time interrogated in an anti-corruption case, could have been shaken and traumatised. Although his lawyer and boss told him exactly what to do and what to say, his frailty may have caused his interrogators to draw greater strength from their imaginary power and muscle.

Third, it is unclear as to whether the MACC did indeed act according to the laws that govern them. I am not a lawyer and this should be clarified with detailed analysis. Whatever the jurisdiction of the MACC, any witness or suspect in a case should be allowed to have an accompanying lawyer. The length of time allowed for interrogation should not extend to the wee hours of the morning. The numbers of officers should be clearly specified, along with recordings of any statements made during the course of the interrogation done – both in audio and video format. If the MACC was acting outside of its legal powers, action must be taken immediately. Again, this is subject to legal analysis.

Fourth, the MACC was responsible for Teoh as he was being interviewed in their premises. Their current claim is that once interrogations ended at 3.45am, Teoh was allowed to return home but instead he requested to rest in their office. Except for someone who saw him at 6am, nobody else apparently saw him until his body was found at 1.30pm subsequently. MACC’s stand is that because he was released, they were no longer responsible for where he went and what he did.

The story seems strange because Teoh had his car parked at the basement of the building. Would it not make sense for him to have left as soon as possible? Even if he did want to rest at the office, his handphone would have been returned to him (since “interrogations were already over”), and some contact would have been established with his friends and family members, surely. However, no communication was made as far as has been reported to date.

The MACC would surely have monitored Teoh’s comings and goings. As a key witness that would warrant such thorough investigations through the night, surely his presence was important. Surely some record would have been noted, of his having officially left the building’s premises. Whatever the case, the response that nobody knew where he was – is weak and irresponsible.

Teoh was a quiet character who must have been thoroughly enthused about working in a new state administration. I cannot speak on his behalf, but the reason I have chosen to work in this Pakatan State government is because I want to contribute to a cause I believe in. To better socioeconomic policies in the view of fairness for the sake of the rakyat. I am sure Teoh was no different. Spurred on by the results of the March 8^th General Elections, hope for a budding democracy had begun. Although the actual management and administration of the State has not been easy, nor without error, the struggle to create a better society is real.

As a young person, I resonate with his desire to contribute so willingly to this cause. His death cannot be in vain. Although it may spark fears amongst the young – and their parents – as to the grave political dangers of this working environment, I believe with a greater urgency and fervour that this is the right thing to do.

It can no longer be mere speculation that we as Malaysians are living in a system of darkness, corrupt and unfair practices. The treatment of a youthful, innocent man could be the same treatment given to any commoner on the street should he be hauled up by the MACC. What justice is available to an ordinary rakyat? No, the need to raise up a new generation of people to transform Malaysia to a nation of hope, justice, peace and good governance is even more necessary.

Along with many others, I call for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the death of the late Teoh Beng Hock. The inquiry must be independent, transparent and conducted by individuals of the highest integrity. This has been a rare first political death of its kind, and should changes not be made immediately to the rotten system of Malaysia, the question looms dark in our minds: Who will fall prey as the next victim?

Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice

2009-07-09T10:06:00.002+08:00

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

What it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

Copyright fines from karaoke set

2009-07-08T08:47:00.003+08:00

For those who owns karaoke set customized with at least 20k karaoke songs at home (whole set bought with around RM2,000 to RM3,000>, you gotta beware of any spotcheck from government enforcement team.

A woman was fined up to RM40million for owning a karaoke set, preloaded with 20,000 pirate songs which found in her electrical appliances shop at Penang. It was said that the karaoke set which initially was not loaded with any song and it was imported from China with cost less than RM500. Referred to Copyright Act, she should have paid RM3 for the copyright of each song and RM60,000 for 20,000 songs in total.

It seems that our government has started to aware of digital piracy.

3.5m used to buy 24m worth mansion?

2009-07-07T09:11:00.003+08:00

Former Selangor Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo said he took a 3.5m loan from international bank to buy a sprawling Balinese-style mansion at Shah Alam with approximately 0.5 hectare (splitted into 2 sections). The property and furnishings are expected to be worth RM24m.

Monthly salary for an Menteri Besar is around RM48,000 with the condition MB cannot be involved in any business. It just does not add up, i jz did some calculation, by multiplying 12 months and 8 years (that he serves as MB), without taking any account other expenditures, he would have earned around RM4.6m. Logically, how the F*** that he got the another 20m to buy the house?

I'd come for you - Nickelback

2009-07-03T10:04:00.001+08:00

Just One more moment, that's all that's needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it

I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know what just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you

Yes I'd come for you, no one but you,
Yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to

And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
You know I'll always come for you

i love the chorus..Yes I'd come for you, no one but you, Yes I'd come for you, But only if you told me to..And I'd fight for you, I'd lie, it's true, Give my life for you, You know I'd always come for you

yaya...this is one of the must watch animation of the year..

The story is about an old man, by tying thousands of balloon to his home, he sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

It is possibly the best pixar film been made...
Pixar has always been a quality animation film maker...with Amazing visual effects, amazing sound effect, hilarious comedy. breathtaking action...All those combined make something special...and i believe UP definitely has it.

I can't wait until it comes out so that I can see it in 3d cinema =)

Work work work

2009-06-30T22:05:00.002+08:00

After exam, i seem to become more and more busy....
initially i was taking up 2 parttime job...recently i have finally decided to take over my dad's job....

my dad owns an insurance company, which partnershipped with ING and it's mainly focuses on factory/ manufacturing/corporate type of insurance...heard from my uncles and dad's friend, if nobody is going to taking up his company in the future, he's going to sell it off..i guess i got to take it (my bro definitely has no interest on this =.=)..since the business of insurance is through the accumulation of contracts and networkings, and my dad already has the basis and networking from his 30 years of hardwork, somemore it's not easily to obtain the insurance license from ING HQ, i guess we shouldn't give up on this...finally i promised him i'll be taking over this business when he retires...afterall, everything's bout money...and i seriously don't wan to work for ppl for the rest of my life...i think from here i can slowly diversify my own business, at the same time managing the insurances work...

Because of this, i'm taking up 2 business units for my last semester in University >.<>.< i'm considering to drop off my ITS work in university, since got so many works to cope =(

ohya....recently i got to know from our biotech field client from travel agency =D she's working in Biotech Coorperation, he found out that i'm current studying biotech in Monash, she indirectly hinted me that Biotech Corp in our country currently need more private University degree holder instead of local U student ~.~ and she's actually asking me to give it a try to apply to work in biotech corp after graduated. Part of the recent is due to low standard of english among the local U degree holders. As what she told me Biotech Corp is a semi-private company which is an very important bridge for Malaysia biotech and oversea, employees have high chance meeting overseas investors, researchers or any potential businessman. Moreover, the company always sends employee to oversea for further training / attending any major conference in other country. I believe it's a very good stepping stone for whoever interested to further their career in biotech field, by working there you can expand your research, your knowledge at the same time looking for potential investor to help you in commercializing your product...

Automatic gear for Driving tests

2009-06-29T08:30:00.003+08:00

Referred to the Deputy Transport Minister of Malaysia, the driving test by replacing the manual gear with automatic gear is expected to be implemented at the year end. Other country such as Japan, Britain or even Singapore, automatic gear has been practised since 10 years ago.

From my past experience, the driving test in our country is extremely loose, paid some kopi money for 'on the road' test, you can easily obtain a driving license, not like other country, some people repeated few times of the driving test just to obtain their precious driving license.

i wonder, will the implementation of automatic gear increases the rate of accident in our country?

To remove the Referral ID, right click and copy link location, paste on the address bar and remove the RID section.

What can you do after registered:

Wait
Wait
Wait

Q: Why?
A: Because you can't do anything except WAIT them to send you the survey to fill.

What will you get upon completing a survey:
1. Points that can be changed into Cash ( Varies from site to site )
2. Coupons ( Food / Shopping )
3. iPod / Notebook etc ( Monthly / Yearly Event )

Q: How much can I get for completing a survey?
A: From $1 ~ $50. Depending on the complexity and difficulty of the survey.

What do you need to retrieve your Cash:
1. A PayPal account ( Survey sites will use Paypal to do all the transaction )
2. A Visa Credit Card that is Sign-Verified ( In order to withdraw your Cash from PayPal )

Tips & Trick & Be Cautious of SCAMS

Be sure to fill in all your Basic Profile, Professional Profile and Other Profile. ( Higher chance to get picked for a certain survey )

DO NOT tick everything you see. Just tick those you specialize in or you're interested in.

Invite your friends to join, the more friends you invited, the more bonuses you can get every time they complete a survey. The invite system is something similar to MLM ( Multi-level Marketing )
Cash your points as often as you can, who knows if the site suddenly shut down! But don't withdraw from PayPal as it will charge you $5 for each transaction. So wait until certain amount before withdrawing.

Caution:

There's a lot of scam sites saying that you could earn USD 30,000 or large sum of money in a month. Let me assure you that There's No Such Thing.

Sites that asked for membership fee is SCAM.

Allow me to mention this one last time:

Lastly, if you wish to forward this mail, go on. You don't need my permission nor give me credits. You can edit the mail in any form you like, do spell check / grammar check / replace the RID to yours ( I prefer you don't change it though! ).

2 weeks...

2009-06-14T12:21:00.005+08:00

with beloved sis, chel chel =D

Ahem...i believe the past 2 weeks had been a transition point in my life, i made up my mind to focus only on my study and job, dump all my love and feelings aside (it doesn't mean that i don't love her anymore, both of us just need some time to prepare ourselves for the next stage in our life, i guess it's a good idea to split off) she told me that i've been losing self-confident and carefree, i'm looking back for them now...i told myself to give up on her temporarily and go for my dream, by the time when i succeed i would go back for her and once again make her mine...confidently tell myself that she's gonna fall in love with me again in the future...

yea....i've been taking up 2 part time jobs in present in order to fund myself for year-end business... One of the job is the student helper in University and another one is the First Coach servicing counter at IBM plaza...at the same time i'm preparing myself for the final exam. Yea, it is a tough task for me in order to balance up all my job + my study + resting time all at the same time, and i'm learning to do that

Yea, these few weeks i've been sticking to my beloved coussie too much LOL, always look for her whenever i have free time LOL, i thank her for accompany me when i'm down and sad >.< oh ya, she even introduced her coursemates to me and allowed me to join them for ktv, yea i remembered the first time joining them for ktv, i thought i banged into a wrong room, 7-8 girls in the room all saying hi to me @@! Now they even have their fixed ktv session on every wednesday which is 'ngam ngam' after my shift XD Love ya shanna, it's great to have such a close cousin in my life =)

I need to apologize to Shi Jia, one of my important buddy for not be able to accompany you when you're in KL =( Although i'd only joined the dinner with her and friends on the first night, i never really had a conversation with her =( i'd been trying to make up some time for her, unfortunately piles of work had stopped me from doing that =( hopefully i could spend some time for her next KL trip...

Lastlty i hope everything goes smooth...either for myself or everyone =)

知足 - Know to Satisfy

2009-06-13T23:08:00.003+08:00

怎么去拥有
一道彩虹
怎么去拥抱
一夏天的风
天上的星星
笑地上的人
总是不能懂
不能觉的足够
如果我爱上
你的笑容
要怎么收藏
要怎么拥有
如果你快乐
不是为我
会不会放手
其实才是拥有
当一阵风吹来
风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷
而祝福而感动
终于你身影
消失在
人海尽头
才发现
笑着哭最痛
那天你和我
那个山丘
那样唱着那一年的歌
那样的回忆
那么足够
足够我天天都品尝着寂寞
~~~~~~~~~
当一阵风吹来
风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷
而祝福而感动
终于你身影
消失在人海尽头
才发现笑着哭最痛
当一阵风吹来
风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷
而祝福而感动
终于你身影
消失在人海尽头
才发现
笑着哭最痛
如果我爱上
你的笑容
要怎么收藏
要怎么拥有
如果你快乐
不是为我
会不会放手
其实才是拥有
知足的快乐叫我忍受心痛..
知足的快乐叫我忍受寂寞

The song is from Mayday 五月天, named 知足
human is always a greedy creature, never get enough of what they're having (人,就是贪心,永远不能觉的足够) >.< There's a line in the lyrics actually mesmerized me, 会不会放手其实才是拥有, learning to let go is the true meaning of owning.

Live-Action Naruto Cast

2009-06-11T20:19:00.000+08:00

Universal Studios has revealed the live-action cast for their adaptation of fish-cake ninja anime Naruto, pictured above.

The actors have been selected for a stage-play to feature at the Universal Studios Japan theme park.

The play will begin in late summer and run until the end of August and will feature animated video sequences as well.

Of course, this does not necessarily mean that Universal has any plans for a live-action movie adaptation, though we can but wonder; Hollywood and others certainly do have their eyes set on other adaptations…

Life & love

2009-05-25T23:04:00.001+08:00

It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return. Maybe god wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, passion and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word and than walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we have got untill we lost it, but it's also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never assurance that they will love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. There are things you would love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear them from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

Never say goodbye if you still want to try- never give up if you still feel you can go on- never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go. Love comes to those who still hope although they have been disappointed, to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, to those you still need to love although they've been hurt before and to those you have the courage and faith to build trust again. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. The brightest furture will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, long lost friend, lover, coworker, neighbor or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happend to you that you may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart.

Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and cheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfort, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the success and downfall you experience help to create who you become. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or break your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

Make everyday count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Live your life with absolutely no regrets & always believe in yourself!

First Experience In Gunung Nuang

2009-05-24T11:31:00.002+08:00

Just been to Gunung Nuang at Hutan Lipur, Selangor. It is the tallest mountain in Selangor, with 1498m height. It has 2 camp sites in Gunung Nuang, the first camp site, Lolo Camp was located at 600m of the trekking route, and Pacat camp is located at 1000m of the trekking route. It takes 3 hours to reach to the first camp, another 2 and a half hour to reach to the 2nd camp, and another 1 and a half hour to reach to the peak. It takes almost 12 hours to finish the whole course (if you choose to reach to the peak). It is a definitely a mixture of mental and physical challenge for trekkers. However, we didn't manage to reach to the peak, we stopped at approximately 700-750m of the trekking route =( Cousin injured his ankle, it was a wise choice for us not to continue as it would repeatingly injure his ankle as we heading down from the mountain. We swore to the mountain that we will come again to challenge the peak for next month after the recovery of the ankle =D

Japanese women as wife

2009-05-11T20:30:00.001+08:00

A survey of Chinese men, asking them which foreigners they would most like to wed, has overwhelmingly revealed an almost paradoxical popularity, with Japanese women by far the most popular.

Some respondents reported wanting Japanese women as a way of gaining revenge on the ancient enemy, though doubtless there are some who would consider this just another loss for China…

The top countries favoured were Japan, with a winning 25%, Korea with 13%, Russia with 9%, the US with 7%, and France with 5%.

Clearly a variety of factors are at play, but a lingering perception of the Japanese lady as a “Yamato Chrysanthemum” and the desire to assert national manhood on the enemy’s womenfolk seem to amongst the forerunners.

Not mentioned, but probably also at play, is the huge dominance Japan enjoys over the East Asian pornography industry…

The survey, which allowed multiple answers, was conducted online with 4,000 participants.

A political columnist, Chin Huat is also chairman of the Writer Alliance for Media Independence and a journalism lecturer in the Arts Discipline of the School of Arts and Sciences, Monash University, Sunway campus in Malaysia. 2 days ago, the pro-democracy activist, Wong Chin Huat, who criticised 1Malaysia slogan, has been arrested by the order of Prime Minister Najib Razak (syoknya XD)

Let everyone see a sea of black walking into an office, market, mosque, temple, church, college, park, bus.
Let us be united in one black colour to show the world that the 1Malaysia under Najib Razak is 1BlackMalaysia living in darkness

He was taken to the Jalan Duta court complex on Wednesday morning. The police, who asked to remand him for four days, were initally only allowed 24 hours. However, they appealed and were granted a three-day remand. He is expected to be released on May 8.

Influenza A and Myself

2009-05-01T18:55:00.005+08:00

Swine Flu (old name) ---> Influenza A, H1N1 (new name)

1 May 2009 -- The situation continues to evolve rapidly. As of 06:00 GMT, 1 May 2009, 11 countries have officially reported 331 cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection.

The United States Government has reported 109 laboratory confirmed human cases, including one death. Mexico has reported 156 confirmed human cases of infection, including nine deaths.

The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases with no deaths - Austria (1), Canada (34), Germany (3), Israel (2), Netherlands (1), New Zealand (3), Spain (13), Switzerland (1) and the United Kingdom (8).

Further information on the situation will be available on the WHO website on a regular basis. WHO advises no restriction of regular travel or closure of borders. It is considered prudent for people who are ill to delay international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel to seek medical attention, in line with guidance from national authorities.

There is also no risk of infection from this virus from consumption of well-cooked pork and pork products. Individuals are advised to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis and should seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms of influenza-like illness.

How can I protect myself from influenza A (H1N1)?

Practice general preventive measures for influenza:

* Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and have fever and cough.
* Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often.
* Practice good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.

How do I care for an ill person at home?

* Separate the ill person from others, at least 1 meter in distance from others.
* Cover your mouth and nose when caring for the ill person. Either commercial or homemade materials are fine, as long as they are disposed of or cleaned properly after use.
* Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly after each contact with the ill person.
* Improve the air flow where the ill person stays. Use doors and windows to take advantage of breezes.
* Keep the environment clean with readily available household cleaning agents.

If you are living in a country where there are infections follow additional advice from your national and local health authorities.

What should I do if I think I have the illness?

If you feel unwell, have high fever, cough or sore throat:

What should I do if I need medical attention?

* Contact your doctor or healthcare provider before travelling to a health facility, and report your symptoms. Explain why you think you have influenza A(H1N1) (for example, if you have recently travelled to a country where there is an outbreak in humans). Follow the advice given to you.
* If it is not possible to contact your healthcare provider in advance, communicate your suspicion of infection as soon as you arrive at the facility.
* Cover your nose and mouth during travel.

Ahem..these days i've been addicted into hiking...i'm planning a trip to Mount Kinabalu, Sabah (the highest climber-friendly mountain in South East Asia)on the end of this year, around november - december..It is the place where you could see breathtaking sunrise from above the clouds, 13,435 feet (4095 meters) above sea level...the budget is around rm 1,000 to 1,500. Accomodation, foods, transport, airfare all are included..anyone's interested? =)

Broga Hill, 26 April 2009

2009-04-26T17:07:00.010+08:00

haiz..pathetic, i should have brought DSLR for the trip >.< the scenery up there is awesome!! anyway, i've managed to conquer Broga hill XD It's not really a tough course for me (yaya..the outcome of gym XD), throughout the trip, i've noticed most of the KL boys and girls were lacking of enough stamina to reach to the summit of the mountain. They kept resting on the half way at the same time 100 people were involved in this trip, thus congestion happened when we're reaching to the summit (the slopest site). In my opinion, it's rather easy to climb the top of mountain than 'tahan' yourself on the slope of the mountain with long queue, because it was seriously too many people =_= and the night was still dark. I didn't really enjoy the trip especially when i saw 70-80 people were on the peak of the mountain, i thought i've reached some sort of highland market place `.`

Few things you seriously need to take note if you're planning for this trip, TORCHLIGHT is a must to bring especially if you're planning to watch the sunrise at the broga's hill in the morning. You're going to take approximately 1 hour to reach the summit, please plan your time well (especially if you're bringing masses of friends for the trip =D). Well Camera is extremely recommended to be brought >.< you can snap alot of nice images up there, oh ya..bring along your tripod if you're going to shoot the morning scene (light source isn't enough up there). Lastly, please train your stamina before you're planning to conquer this hill, i would not suggest you to climb the hill if you're not well prepared, it'll be a burden for your friend to look after you especially during the night time. And of course, you can always try to climb this mountain in the morning (around 7-8 am).

Knowing and New York New Deli

2009-04-21T23:48:00.001+08:00

Went movie with my old old buddy at OneUtama today. How long do i know this buddy, hmm..perhaps 16 years LOL =D she's my primary schoolmate =D we were always accompany each other in school early in the morning at 6 =D

Back to the show Knowing. It is seriously consisted with different genres inside the show <.< and from what i have concluded, the genre of the movie changed from historical --> horror --> disaster --> detective (thriller)--> crime --> sci-fic (religious). Starting that time we thought we had entered the wrong cinema >.< averagely the show is not bad. Know what, i like the scene where the earth is destroyed !!! All the while i thought those black suit guys were some sort of criminals, during the climax of the show they pointed the sky to represent themselves as alien LOL. After looking at their space vessel which look likes 'Ezekiel circle', they should be linked to angels / gods bla bla...

Went to New York New Deli, OneUtama for lunch, ahem...we ordered 3 dishes, their beef burger is nice, freshly made hamburger meat, their fish and chip is just like common f&c that you can find in any restaurant, but with some of thai style dipping sauce (not spicy one). omg..their pizza =.= sux weii..the base is so freaking thick...i swear i wouldn't order their pizza anymore =_=

Anyway, it's a good outing to meet up with old buddy =)

Trip to Kampung Broga, Kajang (19/4/09)

2009-04-19T21:30:00.006+08:00

It's not first time for me to visit Broga, i think i've been Broga for few times since this year. Broga has been a popular countryside village these days especially among the Kl people. With the rebuilt of Famous Relic Stone Temple as famous landmark in Broga, Alot of people intended to visit this temple for divine help / intervention. It is said that many people has stroke lotteries / 4Ds after visiting the temple.

Today i brought my secondary schoolmates to Broga with only one purpose, to hunt for fresh grilled fish. Ya!! Grilled fish is the popular cuisine you can find in Broga. You can find a few Grilled fish Restaurants along the way to Broga Temple, but those are just the normal grilled fish restaurant. The-one-you-must-try is located behind the Broga temple (there is a small narrow pathway at the left of the temple) named 石水烧鱼 (rock water grilled fish @@). The restaurant is located beside a big pond, you can observe alot of cars parked along the pondside.

'What makes the grilled fish so delicious?' One of my buddy asked me. hmm..fresh, the fish is killed and cooked on the spot..2ndly, the fish mud smell. you wouldn't taste any mud flavour inside these fish. Some people don't like to eat fish stomachs due to heavy mud smell (me), but i managed to finish all of them, =D Thirdly, they're using charcoal to 'bakar' the fish, thus the fish is hardly to be found overcooked, and they're excessively JUICY!! Therefore, it's quite normal for the customers to order 1 fish for 1 person. There are 10 different type of flavour, i like the Tom yum style and their bestseller style grilled fish!! X3

Oh ya, it's quite cheap to have lunch here =D 1 fish is approximately rm 10-15 (depends on how heavy / big the fishes are). They open from 11am till 5pm, rest on thursday. I suggest you all to come early, 11am -12pm, if not you would be going to wait for at least 30-60mins, plus no parking =D

Dinner At Restaurant Debrovnik, Solaris

2009-04-18T13:16:00.010+08:00

Had a great dinner with all gym mates yesterday night at Restaurant Debrovnik, Solaris (it's just beside Ole Ole Bali). Gratitude to Sheryl for recommending such nice restaurant. It was the first time i got into croatian cuisine, and i realised Croatians are crazy about cheese and mushrooms. Most of every dish are either braised with mushrooms or cheese, the savouriness of their cuisines are asserted in smooth, milky, cheesy. For those who likes heavy taste (such as chinese cuisine), i don't think they would enjoy Croatian cuisine that much, one of my friend, Raymond kept complaining that the foods were too bland. I believe if more salt or sapidity is added in, you couldn't really taste the flavour of cheese as cheese is providing minor salty taste to the cuisine. Anyway, i'm not a person who is heavily craved for cheese, i think that the overall meal was too much of cheese @@. Oh ya, you should try their beef steak or beef cutlets =D it's awesome =D especially when they clinched the dish in front of you by pouring the red wine onto the pan, OMGoshhh !! the aroma of wine with beef steak, will make u turn insane! Even Raymond, the one who didn't enjoy the meal that much, was circling the whole table asking for extra beef steak.

X-Men Origin: Wolverine

2009-04-17T16:43:00.004+08:00

This movie has been receiving alot of negative comments since the trailer released, especially most of the marvel fans are not satisfied with the costumes / appearances of the heroes inside the movie. Seriously after watching the trailer and reading some comments from the net, i didn't see anything really wrong with the character design. As what we could see from the trailer, there isn't any 'special' hero costumes for all the mutants, which i believe it's quite realistic in the show. I don't think just because they're mutants they should just stop dressing normal and put on some gay colorful fancy tights. Most of the people are comparing them with the previous X-men movie series (characters build / design). However, this is not the total X-men movie series. Or would you rather see Wolverine running around in his traditional yellow spandex outfit? Moreover, most of the fans are complaining that the movie story is totally different from the fixed story of X-men Origin. What's the point shooting a movie which everybody has already known the ending? Maybe he's not exactly what you want him to be, but then again not everyone is happy with seeing their favorite fictional character's transition to the silver screen (i'm emphasizing on DEADPOOL!!). Anyway, why don't we just enjoy the show as we've never seen them before?!

Fast and Furious 4

2009-04-16T15:17:00.006+08:00

Ahem...i went to watch fast and furious 4 alone yesterday. My gf asked me, 'dear, what's so fun to watch movie alone?'. i think my reply was pretty simple, watching movie alone is time-saving, no need to wait for your friends (late or you're late), it's easy to get ticket, since it's only 1 people watching, no need to emphasis in choosing good seating right? thirdly, cost-saving, you can straight away go back home after watching movie =D no need teabreak to do discussion with your friend after the show. ahem..i'm not saying i don't like watching movie with friends, i feel that watching alone can make you more into the movie. You know, some people like to chat alot during the movie, thus they miss some important scenes / part in the movie.

Alright, back to fast and furious 4, yaya..i think it's better than f&f1. You guys probably dunno fast and furious 4 is the continue of the fast and furious (f&f1). comment from me? yaya..i keep noticing nipples in the movie LOL =D Last time i didn't really enjoy the movie maybe because i was not really into cars. But after yesterday, i finally get to know why all guys like fast and furious series >.< Women with hot body are everywhere in the movie, all rocks customized cars are everywhere as well >.< i think for those guys who're quite alert in watching the show LOL they probably notice that Gal Gadot never wear bra throughout the movie shooting =D anywhere..i think it's a good show, alot of action scene with all the nice cars.

Marriage Between Age 47 and 8 !!??

2009-04-14T13:04:00.003+08:00

A Saudi Arabian judge recently ruled for the second time that an arranged marriage between a 47-year-old man and an 8-year-old girl was legal and binding.

Reportedly, the girl’s father married off his daughter to his close friend in return for the settlement of outstanding debts. Upon learning of the sale, the girl’s mother, who was separated from the father, filed for the annulment of the marriage.

The case went before Shiek Habib Al-Habib who, citing the Islamic law that governs much of the country’s domestic affairs, ruled that the marriage was in fact valid.

Stunned by the decision, the girl’s mother petitioned an appeals court to overturn the decision. Whilst the appeals court initially refused to certify the decision, in the end, it merely sent the case back to the same judge for reconsideration; Al-Habib then reaffirmed his original ruling.

At the time of the original ruling, Al-Habib managed to extract a promise from the husband that he would not have sex with the girl until she reached puberty, denying him conummation at least until the onset of menses.

Further, Al-Habib noted that upon reaching puberty, the girl could petition the court for a divorce. However, a divorce at that age would be unlikely as the girl’s future prospects would be noticeably dimmed by the perception of her being used goods.

Whilst marriage or betrothal to a pre-pubescent girl is heavily sanctioned in most of the world and usually limited only to the imaginary realm of manga or similar, marriage to young girls has official approval from the highest authorities in the desert kingdom.

Shiekh Addul Aziz Al-Shiekh, the kingdom’s grand mufti, recently reaffirmed the practice in remarks to the public: “It is incorrect to say that it’s not permitted to marry off girls who are 15 and younger. A girl aged 10 or 12 can be married. Those who think she’s too young are wrong and they are being unfair to her.”

“We hear a lot in the media about the marriage of underage girls,” continued Al-Shiekh. “We should know that Sharia law has not brought injustice to women.”

By the time the girl in question is old enough to petition for her divorce, her groom will be well into his fifties.

Yourself

Thought

2009-04-10T19:47:00.001+08:00

As you think so shall you be! Since you cannot physically experience another person, you can only experience them in your mind. All of the other people in your life are simply thoughts in your mind. Not physical beings to you, but thoughts. Your relationships are all in how you think about the other people of your life. Your experience of all those people is only in your mind. Your feelings about your lovers come from your thoughts. They may in fact behave in ways that you find offensive. However, your relationship to them when they behave offensively is not determined by their behavior, it is determined only by how you choose to relate to that behavior. Their actions are theirs, you cannot own them, you cannot be them, you can only process them in your mind.

Relationships

2009-04-09T23:44:00.003+08:00

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.

Marquee Coding for Image Gallery

2009-04-08T23:23:00.009+08:00

Saw the Image gallery from the top? yaya.. i was stucking with the marquee codes for whole day in the uni, at first i was planning to make the image gallery to be vertical and put it at the side, no matter how complicated or simple the codes are ( i tried CSS, Javascript as well), it still couldn't run smoothly (stuck after the first pic moved). After few hours i found out that marquee code is not advisable to be used on FF, because the code was originated from IE ~.~ thus only IE can run smoothly =/ Finally i gave up and decided to switch the gallery to horizontal style.

The purpose of making this image moving gallery is preparing for my upcoming boutique blog, it'll be easy for reader / buyer to blink through all the available items / goods from the image gallery instead of clicking here and there for finding suitable goods for themselves =D

Want to know how to do it? =D you can learn it from this site

yaya..now i have reduced it from 1200px to 800..should be better right =D

Prostitution Menu From HK

2009-04-06T15:14:00.006+08:00

A non-culinary menu of the most sordid sort comes to light, illustrating the costs of various special encounters.

Advertising the going rates for procuring carnal services from ladies of various nationalities and characteristics, the “menu” has some rather fanciful descriptions of the wares available to the discriminating customer.

大波北姑: big-breasted northern girl
青春陀地: youthful local
白淨馬拉: fair-skinned Malay
熱情寶妹: feisty Filipina
狂野鬼妹: wild white girl (or “raving wild evil ghost little sister” if you read the characters in more literal manner)

It is worth nothing that procuring the services of the “wild evil ghost little sister,” will cost a customer twice as much than purchasing the services of one of the local varieties, perhaps owing to the exotic nature of a potential interracial sexual encounter, or the rarity of such a product in the local market.

500 HKD is about RM250.

In comparison, Filipina and Malay equivalents may hold great appeal to the bargain conscious consumer…

China Bans Japanese Anime?!!

2009-04-05T20:50:00.004+08:00

A recent comment by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao decrying the lack of Chinese anime has incited a flurry of online support, with Chinese net users vigorously denouncing Japanese anime.

The Premier started the fracas by publically lamenting the current poverty of Chinese visual culture:

“There are times when I watch TV anime with my grandchild, but they’re always foreign works like Ultraman and so on, and few are domestically produced. We should be cultivating a domestic anime industry.”

Ultraman (which is a tokusatsu live action show rather than an anime per se) is currently all the rage amongst the youth of China, but parents are said to be anxious about the programme; net users criticise it: “Ultraman is Japanese. All he does is fight. Have all the Chinese who can make anime disappeared?”

More extreme voices of support are also heard: “Kill Ultraman and all the other Japanese anime!”

China has in recent years been working to strengthen its domestic anime industry, with a variety of successful titles being brought to air, such as 喜羊羊与灰太狼 / Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, a hit children’s show with over 500 episodes aired since its inception in 2005.

However, heavy restrictions on the amount of foreign programming allowed also ensure that fans of international anime have no legitimate recourse for viewing their favourite titles, although mass-market anime such as Doraemon or Detective Conan is of course in a different league to niche Japanese titles.

Chinese are said to be generally critical of their country’s anime output so far, characterising it as “insipid, tedious and preachy”, suggesting more effort is required.

Chinese Job Seekers Turn to Plastic Surgery

2009-04-04T18:06:00.004+08:00

The worsening economic conditions in China have seemingly forced many new college graduates and the recently sacked to turn to plastic surgery to gain an edge in the increasingly competitive job market.

Chinese unemployment rolls have surged with millions cut from factories dependent on dwindling foreign exports. Further, 6.1 million students will graduate from college or similar institutions of higher learning, a nine percent increase from the previous year, almost all of whom will naturally be entering the job market.

While Chinese law forbids job discrimination based on race, ethnicity, sex or religion, no similar legal oversight covers physical appearance. Chinese employers routinely specify desired height, weight and other physical requirements.

Applicants for a nursing position at the Beijing Modern Women’s Hospital are expected to be taller than 5 feet, 2.5 inches and have “acceptable facial features.” A recent governmental posting in Hunan province even required its applicants to have “symmetrical breasts”, for reasons we can only guess at.

The most commonly requested surgical procedures include raising noses, cutting eyelids (a popular procedure in much of East Asia and beyond to acquire a more “western” look) and softening angular faces into the rounder shapes commonly prized in East Asia.

Procedures that lighten the skin are also highly desired as the Chinese consider lighter skin more delicate and desirable than darker shades. Lighter skin also happens to be a characteristic of the dominant Han ethnicitiy.

Some however feel that such minor surgeries are not enough. A commonly held perception by many Chinese employers are that shorter workers are less healthy and capable than taller ones.

Such perceptions have encouraged many Chinese job applicants to undergo leg lengthening surgery. Leg lengthening surgery involve doctors breaking the legs of their patients in order to insert steel pins in their bones.

Such surgeries typically add 3 inches to a person’s height, but are fraught with dangerous potential complications.

Despite such risks, business has been booming in Chinese plastic surgery hospitals. Nearly a dozen leading Chinese hospitals reported strong business since late last fall, commencing around the period when the global financial crisis began to take its toll on China’s economy.

Many Chinese job seekers have decried the emphasis on physical appearance, calling such requirements absurd. However, such sentiment has not stopped them from getting procedures done in record numbers.

One recent female graduate made this candid assessment: “They may not say it openly, but during the process they will pick the prettier one.”

Stem Cell Breast Enlargement !!!

2009-04-02T21:17:00.004+08:00

Stem cell therapy now offers the prospect of “naturally” enlarged breasts, free of surgical implants.

The technique involves extracting stem cells from the fat of the stomach or thighs and inserting them into the mammaries, where they join the breast tissue, increasing the size of the breast as a result.

The procedure offers some significant advantages over traditional “augmentation.”

Unlike breasts enhanced with artificial implants, breasts treated with stem cells will feel natural, having the same softness and fluidity as natural breasts due to being constituted of the same mixture of glandular fat and water.

Further, implants often have long-term complications and may require replacements. They can also leak and cause scarring and nerve damage, to say nothing of the risks of failed surgery.

Implanted stem cells also promote the growth of blood vessels, ensuring sufficient blood circulation. Procedures that merely moved fat into a woman’s breasts were problematic to the lack of blood supply to the implanted fat.

The technique was pioneered in Japan, initially to treat women with deformities caused by breast cancer. Recently, the technique has also been used for cosmetic enhancements and has begun clinical trials in Britain.

The stem cell treatment appears currently only to be able to provide modest increases in breast size. While scientists are confident in increases of one cup size, only further research will determine if larger augmentations are possible.

Doctors also caution that the current technique only restores volume but does not provide firmness and lift. Those wishing to avoid unappealing ptosis whilst gaining even more volume will have to wait.

In addition, the process takes several months as the extracted fat is mixed with stem cells in batches and gradually implanted to achieve the desired shape and size.

The procedure is expected to become available in 6 months, costing some £6,500.

Died From Wii?!!

2009-04-01T08:12:00.002+08:00

A man has died after a Wii Fit session went terribly awry; during his jogging session on the game, he collapsed and promptly died.

The man, identified as Tim Eves (25), of Norfolk in the UK, was apparently of sound body, enjoying such activities as cycling and fishing, and led a troupe of boy scouts. He worked as a labourer.

It seems he was playing the game, involving pretending to jog on the spot, when he suddenly keeled over. His friend and girlfriend immediately attempted to revive him and summoned medical assistance, but to no avail – he was declared deceased upon arrival at the hospital.

An autopsy is scheduled, but in the mean time so speculate he may have fallen victim to that most dread of killers, “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”, that is to say he dropped dead for no good reason.

The Last Remnant

2009-03-30T23:51:00.009+08:00

Yaya..These days have been 'sial-ing' with this game =D i'm a big fans of Square-Enix. Since ff7 (1997 by SquareSoft), i hardly miss any of their productions =D Square-Enix's trend is always with high-end CG, interesting storyline and creative battle system =D. The Last Remnant is about a guy named Rush, searching for his sister who've been captured by unknown enemy. And slowly he revealed the secret of Remnant and himself...bla bla bla...
The battle system is quite special compare to the ordinary RPG games, instead of commanding few people in the game, you're commanding few groups in the game (up to 25 persons at one time). You are controlling few group of unions, with warfare strategies as well as morale determination to win the game =D interesting huh =D

They are targeting all the husbands, who're following their wife around the shopping mall. What do you think? THIS IDEA WAS FROM CHINESE, OMFG, IT'S SERIOUSLY AWESOME !!

Where is Gender Bias??!!

2009-03-27T20:26:00.003+08:00

Gender roles, work and family seem to be getting more and more enmeshed as the time passes. A recent study involving 3,500 workers was released today.

It revealed that it is for the first time "that younger men and women feel the same about job advancement and the first time that there is no statistically significant difference between men and women in their views of appropriate gender roles," said lead author Ellen Galinsky, president and co-founder of Families and Work Institute.

The study revealed that the share contributed by women in the income of dual-income couples had increased to 44% in 2008. On the other hand the men had started to spend more time with the children and had begun to feel increased pressure of balancing work and family.

About 60% of modern day men and women disagree with conservative thought process according to which men should earn the money and women should take care of the children.

In 1992, 80 percent of men and 72 percent of women below age 29 sought jobs with greater responsibility. However, according to the study, today the figure stands at 67 percent of men and 66 percent of women.

China Bans Youtube !!

2009-03-26T20:58:00.004+08:00

Chinese Internet users have recently been completely unable to access YouTube, the popular video service operated by US search firm, Google. The service had apparently been blocked by Chinese authorities.

YouTube has of course previously been censored, but in this case the length of the block is exceptional.The blockage coincides with the posting of a video on YouTube allegedly showing police beating a Tibetan demonstrator to death. Chinese authorities were quick to label the video as being fake.

When asked about the YouTube controversy, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry told reporters “Many people have a false impression that the Chinese government fears the Internet. In fact it is just the opposite.”

“China’s Internet is open enough, but also needs to be regulated by law in order to prevent the spread of harmful information, and for national security” he went on. He then boasted of China’s 300 million Internet users and 100 million blogs; he denied knowledge of YouTube being blocked.

The Chinese have typically kept a tight rein on the Internet and have frequently blocked access to websites the government finds objectionable. Google and YouTube have been previously blocked in China for brief periods, mostly as a response to specific videos that had content critical of the government. Simply blocking individual pages in this case apparently did not send a message the government finds appropriate.

Earlier this year, China also began a crackdown on a number of sites on the Internet, resulting in the closure of hundreds of sites, including a popular blogging site and several sites popular with Tibetans.

With the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests coming later this year, analysts believe that China is making a preemptive strike to stifle any dissent before it can occur.

There is no word on when YouTube will become accessible again in China.

Human Hair Clothing

2009-03-25T16:45:00.007+08:00

As the global recession continues to wreak havoc with national economies, an enterprising Romanian woman has offered up a unique solution for her country’s economic woes.

Ionia Cioanca (71) has been creating hand-made clothes and accessories from human hair since the age of 16. Now well accomplished in the creation of human hair products, Cioanca hopes that her techniques can help revitalize the local economy.

Using techniques for processing wool, Cioanca carefully harvests her own hair to make blouses, coats, hats, gloves and even handbags. The grandmother turned would-be entrepreneur believes that her profession is a sacred one citing the example of Mary Magdalene wiping the feet of Jesus with her hair.

What do you think? i feel that it's kinda..creepy O_O

Too Fat To Work

2009-03-24T20:36:00.004+08:00

A family which is so obese that they cannot work has convinced the government to pay them the equivalent of a substantial salary in benefits; not satisfied, they demand even more, saying “We deserve more”, and claiming that “All that healthy food is too expensive.”

The Chawner family claims £22,500 ($33,000, or $45,000 prior to the UK’s recent economic collapse) annually in benefits, having lived off state handouts without working for 11 years.

Still, even this is not enough and they demand more:

“What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.”

From left to right, daughter Emma (19) weighs 107kg, mother Audrey (57) and father Philip (53) each weigh 157kg, and eldest daughter Samantha (21) weighs in at 114kg. In total, the family comes in at some 525kg.

The gargantuan clan claim economic hardship forces them to eat vast quantities of unhealthy food, whilst advancing the contradictory claim that they are suffering a genetic condition:

“All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We’re fat because it’s in our genes. Our whole family is overweight.”

Their diet, coming to 3,000 calories a day each, much more than the usual recommended maximums, leaves little doubt as to how they attained their exaggerated girth:

“We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner.”

Their benefits come in the form of “Jobseeker’s Allowance” (unemployment benefit), income support and “incapacity benefit”, as well as a disability allowance for Mrs Chawner’s asthma and epilepsy, a result of her weight. Additional money for conditions such as heart disease and diabetes top off the largesse.

Emma excuses herself with the claim that she is too busy training to be a hairdresser to exercise, and then pleas ignorance:

“I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise; we all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don’t know how.”

ARGHHHH...WHAT IS MY PURPOSE FOR UNDERGOING HECTIC WORKOUT + EXERCISE FOR ALMOST EVERYDAY?!!!

Lunch with the Girls at One Utama

2009-03-20T08:41:00.005+08:00

Went lunch with the girls during last Sunday at garden cafe, one utama, the new hybrid shop (combination of boutique stores and restaurant). Hmm..the food is just ok (more to fusion cuisine), it came across into my mind when i observed the ambient, decoration from the shop, it looks similar as fullhouse, NZX, Damansara Ara, it looks like the upgraded version of fullhouse XD, with more vines and more greeny =D Oh ya, the service, i think it's much better than the fullhouse.

Housewife Hacker Busted for Selling Friend’s MMORPG Gear

2009-03-19T08:14:00.003+08:00

I came to read about this news in the morning, it says that a housewife (from Japan) has been prosecuted for accessing her friend’s MMORPG account and stripping her character of items for sale online.

According to police, the game operates a system “where players can enjoy themselves equipping hats and clothing”, and of course there are rare items ( LOL, i believe that most of the MMORPG does that).

Seeing that her friend had plenty of nice gear, the housewife accessed her account on six occasions to strip the character of items, which she then took and sold online.She apparently managed a total of 45 items, selling them all for a total of some ¥50,000 ( approximately rm 1.8k). She has been charged with unauthorised access to a computer system. She admits to the heinous act, explaining “I wanted some money I could freely use myself.” Cyber Law is certainly awesome =D
