chicken and cow story.

Manusia ni memang pentingkan diri sendiri!

Lembu : Kenapa kau kata macam tu?
Ayam : Tengoklah. Apa mereka buat kat aku!
Lembu : Hah! Buat apa pulak?
Ayam : Aku ni bertelur hari-hari. Aku cadang naklah dapat anak dua tiga ekor. Orang kata ada juga waris aku bila aku dah tak de nanti. Tapi manusia ni memang tak berhati perut. Hari-hari dia orang makan telor aku, macamana aku nak dapat anak!
Lembu : Alah! Kau punya masaalah kecil aja!
Ayam : Maksud kau?
Lembu : Aku ni, kalau fikirkan nasib aku lagi malang. Rasa nak bunuh diri pun ada. Bayangkan, hari-hari manusia minum susu aku tapi sorang pun tak pernah panggil aku MAK! Ayam : ....

Human are selfish.

Cow: Why do you say that?
Chicken: Look! Look what they have done to me!
Cow: Hah! What's it?
Chicken: I lay eggs everyday. I was planning to have a few kids. As ppl say, you have a few to inherit things when you're not around someday. But human are heartless. They steal and eat my eggs everyday, how am I supposed to get kids!
Cow: Ahh, yours is just a small matter.
Chicken: What do you mean?
Cow: Come to think of it, my luck is worse than you. Felt like dying sometime. Imagine this, human drink my milk everyday but none of them call me Mom.
Chicken: ...


Ok well, the English version doesn't sound that smooth. But I almost laugh my lungs out just now when I read it.

Moral of the story: Always acknowledge people who have allowed you to suck milk.

Everyone's Changing - Keane

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Youre gone from here, soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Oh everybody’s changing and I don’t feel the same

The Great Sumatra Haze

The University has declared that campus will be closed for 2 days due to the deteriorating condition of the haze. Exams postponed, classes cancelled, and most importantly, I get to go home, which is just as hazy.

I have no idea what's the API ratings now. All I know I'm doing this world a noble task by filtering the air through my pair of lungs. Indonesians just never learn from history, if only God could sweep another tsunami across Sumatra to put off those peat fires and banish those fire starters.

race to get lung cancer - everyone is a winner!

Updated : 11:30 AM MYT on August 10, 2005

Observed at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (History)
Elevation : 72 ft / 22 m
Condition : Hazy
Current T : 86 °F / 30 °C
Heat Index: 93 °F / 34 °C
Humidity : 66%
Dew Point : 73 °F / 23 °C
Wind : 1 mph / 2 km/h from the South
Pressure : 29.83 in / 1010 hPa
Visibility: 0.3 miles / 0.5 kilometers

So help me God. I do not want to win this race. I do not want the Grand Prize. Give the Indonesians back this trophy. They deserve to be the winner since they initiated the race.


The Grand Prize

Analogy to the haze situation: Nazi concentration camp and the people are slowly gased to death. Where's the Geneva Convention to secure my rights?

Stupidity of Life

Flowers do not count their age,
Yet ladies just love their face,
Why do I just love to hate,
When life is all just part of fate.

Given a person gold and silver,
Yet still none wants to be my lover,
What's the point of sacrifice,
When no one cares to modify.

Always looking on the bright side,
Coz' the dark side makes us contrite,
Why do I often worship the world,
When it doesn't consider me a pearl.

Bidding farewell isn't fun,
But with goodbyes we'll see new sun,
Leaving the excess baggages of my life,
So light that I now felt deprived.

Final words always come in ease,
So that people can quickly leave,
Don't mock the gods for your misfortunes,
For they are just a bunch of cartoons.

Two went down.

And so,

My life is now less burdened by one more paper. Just couldn't wipe that sheepish grin off my custard-loving face.(think of George in Desperate Housewives, exactly that sheepish grin.)

There was 30 questions, short answer questions. With only a few requiring me to state the variables involved and hence, the entire expression itself. Thinking that these are zero complexity questions, I went on scribbling answers for the remaining 'tougher' questions first. I was then left with 20 minutes to answer just 4 damn questions. 4 damn short answer questions that required no calculations, just variables and exact expression of the formula.

Until, what flooded my mind was only the telescope model. Well, you see, I've been dying to purchase an entry-level telescope for my own celestial viewing addiction. Since there will be Perseid meteors and Mars will be getting pretty close to Earth in the month of August(NOT at 50K miles you morons.),so perhaps, getting an entry level telescope is suffice to accomodate my amateuristic crave for these celestial bodies.

Hence, we went for serious surfing online. Initially, we found a pretty value buy telescope on a local online auction site. Seriously it was darn cheap. At RM225, I would have snap it up by pawning my cellphone. As paranoid as anyone could be about online scams, I could only bite my lips and bailed myself from any scams. More surfings went on and we came across this local company that seemed like a specialist in satisfying the needs of stargazers.

Voila! And I found her! Hehehehe..

Anyway, in line with my outburst obsession over telescopes, as well as my compulsive regurgitation of the specifications, model number and price, these things actually did overwrite the formulas I memorized earlier. Everytime I tried to spell out that formula, my brain could only produce this search result - R60700ES.

What the hell! I needed the formula for full recombination of EHP and it was definitely not R60700ES. Anyway, it was over. The questions' weightage wasn't that significant anyway. Philanthropists, cheerful givers, donors, sponsors, people who wants to help people to achieve dreams, do help me. You could find a better deal for me, you could donate your old telescope to me, or you could just give money..to instill interest and support space exploration in Third World countries. Lol.

nothing with delight.

Midterm break ends tonight,
Reverting back to that hellish sight,
How I wish I have that might,
To burn down my campus by tonight.

The Prayer

Grew up lacking a pillar,
Grown up unlike a tower,
Knowing just this much I could handle,
So, please don't draw me like a doodle.

The tulips bloom over the field,
and the meadow's green made me yield,
All I'm seeking is a better living,
can't you just grant me this scene?

Quality is what maketh the man,
Ostracized was I, the alice in wonderland,
why should I follow your steps,
when I just don't see the grasp?

When storm blows, and waves hit,
Mangrove plants just don't give a shit,
I'll make it, my lips could only pray,
All I dream is just a breakaway.

"Dreams achieved!" hits the headlines,
These people made it through no easy,
Shall I bid you a glass of champagne,
To show you, without you, life's just the same.

furongjiejie, i adore you!

I didn't know about her blog until a couple of days ago. I was like, what the heck, just go grab a look la. It's just a blog, harmless. Since she used 'jiejie'(elder sister), she couldn't be aged more than 25, that's the ideal case if one were to adopt the title 'jie jie'.

With the help of broadband, her site popped up in no time. I guffawed nonstop until my entire stomach went into spasm. I just couldn't stop the burst everytime I read her blog. It was totally malignant and addictive. Her english is broken but I wasn't mocking at that. I was laughing at the way she writes. She's a classic, really a classic. I've never came across such blog before.


That 'gorgeous' look...causing an insatiable desire among ahpeks.

And her pics are pretty sexual in some way but unfortunately, in all ways it failed to arouse me. Maybe because it was very late then and I was exhausted ...so her D-cups and S-shapes just couldn't electrify me. Maybe something stronger next time jiejie...

I really hope she wouldn't take those derogatory and mean comments personally. She wanted hits and prolly this is an alternative of climbing the blogosphere celebrity chart. At least she's a somebody now. But if I ever see you in Shanxi, be sure that I will nail you to the rocks. And leave you there for some rapists' love rods. Lol.

Got this pic from the local tech-website, Lowyat.net

A very beautifully taken night skyline of Kuala Lumpur.(right before Indonesia 'exported' their haze over.)



Come visit Malaysia! Lol.

Going to bed now. Good nites. I am coughing as I type. Imagine how thick the haze is...sometimes I just don't understand why can't those people stop the burning. I know fire could clear a plot of land pretty quick but the effects from it are simply not worth the burning.

1. You could have burnt someone's house down when they were copulating inside.
2. You could have torched some elephant's ass while he was running.
3. You could have given your kid(s) lung cancer and wife(ves) too.
4. You could have been charged for arson for causing 1).
5. You could have caused accidents on roads in Indonesia and Malaysia.
6. You could have taught some kids how to be arsonists.
7. You could have been charged for 2nd degree murder for causing 5).

One certain thing is, you made my air hazy, go die la you.

a trip to the hospital.

Hours ago, I went to a private hospital with my mom to visit a very ill child. Not that she hasn't been ill before, in fact, she has been quite regular there judging from her health condition. I do not know her personally except by name and disability condition.

I was told by my mom prior to the visitation that she's 16, and I was expecting some grown up lass with at least 4 feet in length. As we entered the room, all I saw was this miniature sized girl, if I had to gauge her age, it wouldn't exceed 10. Even more appalling was that she weighs only, ONLY 15kgs. I know girls would die for such figure. And yet, she's dying because of such figure. This has absolutely no links with anorexia or bullemia. She's in the hospital because of her health conditions, steroids worked pretty much like the main course of her daily drug intake. As miraculous as steroids could be, they could be just as lethal by crippling every major internal organs. But there wasn't any second option to reduce her agony.

Her lungs are failing on her, which is the sole reason of why she's been admitted. I just couldn't bear seeing her in that state of hell. Her medications were aggravating her already phelgmatic endotracheal and her lungs couldn't work with her by coughing them out due to fact that the lungs too, were on the brink of collapsing as well. She was constantly coughing, choked by her own secretion, struggling with fever, with her throat, under a very heavily doped state. Food, I don't know if you call that food, but to me, it looked more like soup. Food has to be taken intravenously because any solid particles will only agitate her lungs causing discomfort and if unlucky, food could drift into her lungs causing more complications.

Hence, the nurses used some kind of suction machine by inserting a catheter down her throat, which was extremely uncomfortable and choking. It sounded murderous to me everytime I hear that choking and struggling sound. If I were in the next room, it could have sounded like they were trying to strangle her. Her mom was weeping, my mom was weeping, so were the others there. But the nurses had to. Else she'll just turn purple and bid goodbye.

I've lost count with numbers. I've been to infirmaries so often that I know the route to the wards better than the way to hotel rooms in hotels. This is really very disheartening. However, my mom told me that she is a very strong girl because every admission she's able to beat the shit out of her sickness and recuperate. Albeit the fact that her chances of survival are getting slimmer by the hours, there remains hope and we'll just cross our fingers, keeping her in prayers. Optimistism is crucial.

Just wanna remind you guys to appreciate your health. And keep it in good shape. I really hope to not make another trip to a hospital. Unless I need it myself.

hike in oil prices again?

We've seen it coming. We've gone through this before and now we have to go through this again. The prices of oil products just never seem to depreciate. Oil is the blood to the world's economy and we know it. We know if the price skyrockets, inflations are bound to increase exponentially. So what's the government doing to balance this?

They said, the subsidy on petrol products must be reduced so that the money could be channeled into better use. While I do exert a great deal of belief that we need a substantial budget for development judging from our hungry appetite for world class architectures, world class infrastructures, world class transportation - basically an appetite to be a world class country.

Pragmatically, I like that. Everything lavish, cool, sleek and humongous. Who would say no to that? But if such ambitious dreams were to be fed using the public's taxes, then it had better be fucking good. Not just constructing a larger than life stadium and leave it stenched with urine and wastes after a world class event. It can't be said if there are unaccountables going around, but if the deaf and mute can feel that there are hanky-pankies, it could have been a bit too obvious to neglect.

Show us real developments, real standards and not just babbling of words spitted out along with sparkling saliva. Debate only serious issues during sessions. Not debates on how an air hostess should be wrapped in burqa instead of kebaya with high slit. Not like she's your daughter. Show us why are some people driving cars that their legs couldn't even reach the pedals. Why are some people able to spend off millions of pound in exclusive London casinos and are still gleefully returning home. There are so much to reveal, so much to relay and the people are often left in the puddle running low on patience.

Raise the people's wages if you want to shut mouths up. Else, continue the subsidy and don't leave a damn trail of your lovely deeds.

It could have been bigotry from my perspectives but I just don't give a damn now. Gotta fill my tank now.
