Random cooking stuff..

Shiny skin on onions indicate freshness.

Knuckle sandwich = roasted hazelnuts and roasted, caramalised slices of pear on hazelnut spread sandwiched between 2 toasted pieces of cake.

Thin slices of garlic. Pieces of chicken. Leaves of rosemary. Lots of olive oil. Pepper to taste. Roast/fry on saucepan till skin turns golden brown. Mmm...looks nice =p

Get your mind off things..I'll cook you these if it helps =p

Moo..

Rin'

Yea, Rin' rawks! Woohoo..
Splendid fusion of modern and traditional instruments..I hear drum sets, flutes, some obscure Japanese string instruments..the whole gamut..
Mmm..I like! Hehe..
Not to mention, their vocals are good! Especially since they can sing in English without the traditional accompanying Japanese flavor in it! Wow..
PS. They did the ED of Samurai7. Real nice, hauntingly played. Titled Fuhen. But that's not their only style. Some are uplifting tunes. Yea..Just get yourself a copy and judge it.

Suspended?!

I shall hereby confirm what may have been a lingering suspicion - my mental and critical faculties have been suspended indefinitely til further notice.

Notice, which requires some thinking through and organising.

Which falls under the domain of mental processing.

Ie. Mental faculty component.

Get LG products out of my sight. Life's not really good now.

Experiencing MU syndrome right now. Nope, I'm not a convert to football/soccer. It's the Miss U syndrome.

Take care!

Long Live Queen!

Nope I didn't miss out a word in the title. I'm not English lar.
But seriously, their Bohemian Rhapsody rawks! Check out the link and find out how much effort has been put into it! Especially those under the recording and song structure headings.

Saw a Taiwan serial just now. Not that I'm a fan, since I have too many comments about the inconsistencies and obvious flaws demonstrated in it. It so happens that some other family member(s) watch it. Spirits of Love, I believe that's the name.

Anyway, I happen to watch when something that's supposed to be tragic is happening. It starts off with Ah Chui* trying to rescue his friend Chui Wa* from the clutches of rival Mafia boss-cum-politician Ah Pao*. CW being held hostage by AP, who demands that AC return incrimiating evidence about AP's shadowy activities. So, being the gallant and not quite stupid friend, AC pulls out a tiny Beretta pistol and trains it on AP, thus forcing his rivals to release CW. [Ok, I said he was the not-quite-stupid friend, not the intelligent friend. Any person with wits would have dragged the chief mafiaso AP along as a way out safely. They were after all outnumbered 2 to 10s. -_-"]

Anyway, due to his oversight, the rival gang members manage to wallop both AC and CW and subdue them without any losses on their side. Soon after, Sheng Tian*, who after being informed of the situation by AC's wife Yue Feng*, rushes in to mediate. However, the ever naive ST is also given a good beating. AP's remark is the best man! "Why do you all stupidly to die?"
LOL!

After more rubbish talk and some more beating, AP suggests capturing YF and torturing her so as to coerce AC to give up the evidence. That's when [coincidence?!] YF appears on her own accord and turns over the evidence without so much as a fuss. Happily, AP lets them all go. On the way back, YF spots the Beretta that AC dropped. She rambles on about drama-mama stuff, then proceeds to take the gun and tries to kill AP. Without turning off the safety catch. Meaning, she can't shoot it even if she wanted to. Meaning, she was literally handing the gun over to the enemy right after threatening to kill him. Wahaha.."with friends like these who needs enemies?"

Not surprisingly, AP commands he cronies to kill AC with the same gun YF so kindly passed to them. In a brave and surprisingly agile show of bravery, YF jumps and shields AC from the 2 bullets. The four now realise [finally!] the sillyness and danger of the situation, and make haste to escape to treat YF. In the car, she reveals that she has duplicated and sent out copies of the evidence before arriving to "rescue" her man.

Ok, here comes the important part. She tells him that she has no regrets, and that she has had a lot of things in life. [This after complaining to AP during the confrontation that he has caused her and AC to lose their chance at happiness and prosperity..not to mention she has also condemned her unborn child to death] She continues and asks AC to live on and live to the maximum, including living her life for her.

Now that, that is totally rubbish, not to mention wholly selfish. After rashly trying to kill AP [a move that is meaningless since she has already released the evidence, thereby ensuring his eventual downfall] and is in the last throes of death, she forces the burden of surviving her to AC? Man..now I understand what Kenshin said in Rurouni Kenshin. "This burden..sometimes it's just too hard too bear. I don't even know whether I can atone for all my past mistakes.."

Selfish, brash person.

And I had a great time laughing at the scene where she reaches the hospital is doctors are trying to revive her. The ER is practically just a ward bed with curtains drawn. Not to mention you can see bottles of drugs on the shelf nearby, making it look more like a pharmacy-cum-bed than an ER. I know the expected response is to cry at this scene, but hey..I laugh when the joke's funny~

*
Ah Chui = Water
Chui Wa = Water Frog
Ah Pao = Cannon
Sheng Tian = Triumph Against Heaven
Yue Feng = Moon Phoenix

Godspeed..

Godspeed to both sisters. May He grant you journey mercy, and also SPEED. Hahas..Ergo, God-Speed. Lol
7 hours is seriously long. Could reach Thailand in that time if it were a car.
Take care..

What man?

Wicker man.
Depending on whether it's the 1973 or 2006 version, there's varying descriptions.
Since I did not watch the 1973 version, I can't comment on it.
But here's a description on wicker, taken from www.webster.com. Read it, it's important.
Main Entry: wick·er
Pronunciation: 'wi-k&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English wiker, of Scandinavian origin; akin to Swedish dialect vikker willow, Old Norse veikr weak -- more at WEAK
1 : a small pliant twig or branch (as of osier) : WITHE
2 a : WICKERWORK b : something made of wicker
- wicker adjective

And since I have watched the 2006 version, I can give a description of it.

Very simple description, one word is more than enough.

Sucks.

Yup. Man, the plot cannot really get any worse than that.
Come to think of it, Andrew sums it up nicely. "It's worse than SOAP. At least you knew that that was a lousy show, so you kind of enjoyed a lousy show. With this, you don't know whether to think of it as a good or lousy show, whether it was a horror or comedy show."
And N should have told us this intersting nugget of news: "The cashier asked us if we really wanted this show."
Man..
At least, at least the company was good. Ah..nothing like enduring through wicker man with good friends.

I'll miss you.

Have a safe trip..

Yeats

Aedh Wishes For The Clothes Of Heaven

A poem, by W.B. Yeats.
Featured in the excellent film, Equilibrium.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

You Bet'cha!

Come one, come all! Bidding has just opened! Pay up soon or lose your chance to place a bet!

RM20 says I'm a good boy.

Step right up, step right up! Don't be shy!

Huh? What?

Most of the people I know who were from Malaysia should know this phrase that I'm about to talk about.
And most consider it rude.
Or vulgar.
So imagine my surprise when the speaker today started talking about it. Him, a respected cardiovascular interventionist, saying..

CCB

Yup, CCB.
Yes, many medical students are actually quite profane. I've known quite a few. And they make others who say things like "let's ... to achieve eternity" sound like little children. Yes, I'm talking about you! You know who you are..hahas..

CCB indeed.

Until he clarified. It was Calcium Channel Blockers.

Ah, of course! Calcium Channel Blockers. Silly me..

Yup, have a safe trip! Nocturnal, Hera and the two other unknown people. Hehe..
May God grant you all journey mercy, and send heavenly angels to look over the earthly angels.

.

.
Yup, that's the title of the final episode of School Rumble Ni Gakki.
Does this mean that School Rumble finally is going to end?!

Suspense!!

Love multiangle now..No more of that all school love triangle. And what's better, it's a one-way multiangle.

Imouto-san likes Harima [or at least that's what the ghost girl implies]. So far no special response from Harima, or she would no longer be Imouto-san but garufurenda =p
Hime likes Harima [actually depends on her mood..it's more like a love-hate relationship..hehe]. Harima detests being near her since he perceives her as a source of his troubles.
Harima likes Tenma [who is too blur to realise, despite his all-too-obvious hints]
Tenma likes Karasuma [weird fella..]
Karasuma likes..not sure actually. He's usually the person in class who keeps to himself and dresses up funny. Like Akira. Examples include penguin suits, snowman suits, water imp suits etc. Definitely weird..

Definitely could use a dojibiron episode anytime now.

Hatenkou Robo Dojibiron Theme song

Oxymoron..of sorts..

Remember this year's world cup? Hahas..actually I don't really remember much, seeing that I didn't watch much of it. But what will really stay in our minds of this event is the famous incident during the finals. You know, the one where Zidane headbutted Materazzi.

In case some of you forgot/didn't know about this, Nike has deemed it a responsibility on their part to provide us with something, lest we forget.


Here's the direct link if the video screws up. Pardon me since I don't really know how to embed the video directly from youtube. Had to resort to kope the HTML. Lol..

Btw, the ad ends with some Italian words. Translated as: Every athlete has their secret weapon. Yup. Either referring to Nike's new training vest, or Materazzi's tactic in inciting Zidane. =p

PS. Headbutt does seem like an oxymoron. You know, head-butt? Hehe..

Variations on Psalm 23?

Psalm 23 - The Original

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.

Psalm 23 - Variation

A psalm of a student.

The Lord is my sheperd,
I shall not flunk;
He keepeth me from lying down
When I should be studying
He leadeth me beside the water cooler
For a study break;
He restores my faith in study guides,
He leads me to better study habits
For my grade's sake
Yea, tho' I walk through the
Valley of borderline grades,
I will not have a nervous breakdown;
For Thou art with me;
My prayers and my friends,
They comfort me
Thou givest me the answers
In the moments of blackness;
Thou anointest my head
With understanding
My test paper runneth over
With questions I recognize
Surely passing grades and flying colours
Shall follow me
All the days of my examination
And I shall not have to dwell
In this school forever!

CA ≠ Ca

Yup, Continual Assessments are not Calcium atoms.
So, all the best to all life sciencers in the upcoming series of CAs.
And especially to the one who has promised to teach me the whys and hows of the physics of the piano keyboard arrangement. Mug hard for this Friday like you always do. I'll lay off on the early morning chats til it's over.

Supersum vs. Domino's?

Wow, superheroes these days are really out of this world! What with some of them being the paranoid-crazy types that wreak havoc on their ex-boyfriends, and some others..well, let's have a look at milder forms of punishment. =p
Presenting, Justice!
PS. Offensive words and angst might be present. View only at your own risk and discretion.

Man..keep the superheroes away from me!
Thank God I don't drive Domino trucks. =p

Seremban..

It usually takes a comment from an outsider to change your sense of viewing things that are familiar. Like pointing out how much Seremban has changed these few years. Man..one of these changes can be easily summed up with a scenario, which goes something like this:
Thiam and MMMC Hardgay are doing the night shift in the Seremban GH. Their seniors just finished telling them how easy the night shift was during the olden days. It was a sleepy small town after all. Then, suddenly, the A&E doors open with a bang, and 3 stretchers with mutilated and bloody victims are rolled in. All were involved in an accident that occured as an illegal midnight race between motorcycle gangs was underway.
Man, can you believe the amount of new, STRAIGHT and LONG roads that have emerged over these few years? Perfect areas for racing..City planners even thoughtfully included U-turns at the far ends of road stretches like the one linking Bidara to Ocean Centrepoint. Could get some wonderful drifting stunts there.
Anyway, the old gangs from 5 S are mainly scattered all over the world. Yeah, everybody is scattered over the world. I meant that there's really not many left here now. Why am I even brain-rotting over here? Alone~
Sigh, it's true. The days in secondary school are one of the best moments in one's life. Except the exam periods. Hehe..but even then there were memorable times. People slugging it out over books like it was Armageddon. Some still playing basketball halfway during exam period.
And the school changed a lot.
A lot.
Hehe..just showing a little of what School Rumble Ni Gakki OP says. We are the Sentimental Generation. Haha..I remember the incredulous look Jessica gave when I told her we went back to school. Lol..clearly it said "of all places?!"
Hahas..
Suddenly have this urge to re-watch Gungrave.
It's a series I stumbled upon in my quest to look for Groove Adventure Rave. But that's for another day.
Anyway, it's another of those animes about love and loss. Betrayal stinks to high heaven too. It's actually a mafia movie, where the main characters rise from being mere street rats to ultimately be the ruling lords within the powerful mafia organization known as Millenion. Halfway through, technology to raise the dead, the Necrolyze, is invented and things go downhill from there. But the nicest thing about this is, in the end, true friendship transcends death and extends it's hand beyond the grave [which, incidentally, is the name of a reanimated character] and cuts through tangles of deceit and betrayals to finally put an end to mindless strife and killings.
However, skip the game. It's rubbish compared to the anime. Hahas..Good thing I didn't buy it =p MMMC Hardgay was complaining about it being slow, cumbersome etc. All the hallmarks of a badly made game. Does the anime no justice.
The OST is not bad though. I had some good laughs while looking at the song list. Names like "Calculator cannot help you" and "Do your business"..man..quite lame, leh!
Hmm..Think that's for all. Shall be looking forward from now on. Like it's sung in the OP of Rave, "Susu-meh!"
That's "Forward!" for all you non-Japanese speaking people out there. =p
Ok, havn't posted pictures for some time now. Have a look at this!

Reminds me of a hot dog =p
It's a sausage dog, a female one at that. Hopefully Thiam doesn't kill me for that. Hahas..

Supersum returns!


Yup, supersum returns! Yay!
Have a safe trip gay!
But achieve eternity? No way!
So faster come so I can say Hey!

NSAIDs

Another post about these things called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs.
A type of non-narcotica painkiller, if you will. Not an aid package for those who are in NS.
Hard to imagine something so beautiful could cause things so ugly.
Like to miss the shot at gold.
Or increase the risk of getting renal failure.
Or just plain allergies.
That's crystals of aspirin, by the way. Acetyl salicylic acid.
But that's just the way of Nature. Beautiful, yet with far-reaching and devastating consequences. Just like some things in life, where behind the mask of beauty and wonders, lie so many ugly and dangerous things.
Like ancient Chinese proverb says, "The dagger hidden under the coverings of the bed."
Or "The kris behind the smile"
Or "The serrated barb on the tail of the stingray."
Did you know some cultures refer to the ray as the devil-fish? Interesting..and slightly ironic, since some of its smaller cousins have ended up as a nice plate of ikan bakar. Quite delicious I assure you, provided that the hawker knows how to whip up a nice spicy and sour-ish sauce that quite drowns the ray.
Ah, but I digress.
We were talking about the salicylate group. It's not some big multinational corporation, just a group of drugs, some of which are actually toxic to the body. In fact, most are toxic to the body, it just depends on the dosage that is used. Hahas..but it's interesting to note how such a humble group has radically influenced us all, from providing school labs all over the world standard experiments to synthesise drugs [providing great fun for kids, not to mention laborously long lab reports for older kids], to providing the world with a wonder drug, capable of reducing pain as well as a host of benefits like reducing risk for heart attacks, colon cancer and many many other things!
So much so that some people say that "an aspirin a day keeps the doctor away."
Haha..we'll see about that.

In any case, here's a skew line moment. Somebody told me that "the guy in red has such a figure! He seems to be the only one that remotely looks like a girl."
A great compliment, I would say! =p
What's the link you ask? None.
That's why it's a skew line moment. Doi!

Battlestar Galactica

Whoa, caught up in this series for some time now. It's about an era when humans have reached a level where they are either skillful enough, or cocky enough, or both, and created machines with incredible artificial intelligence. These machines, the Cylons, were designed with just one purpose in mind - precise instruments that would visit death upon all enemies.

In a twist of irony, these machines develop a sense of self and start to rebel, ultimately waging a war to destroy this race of murderous humans. After a long and exacting war, the Cylons suddenly pulled out and disappeared. After a few decades of ensuing strained peace, the Cylons pull off a surprise attack that leaves Caprica, the homeworld of the humans, a desolate wasteland full of radiation.

The nuking of the planet and the destruction of the numerous spaceships of the humans result in only about 50,000 survivors. Among the few spaceships left, one of them is the ageing Battlestar Galactica. It was a relic of the old war, with outdated equipment designed to defend itself against the technological attacks of the Cylons, and was supposed to be decommisioned on the day the Cylons launched their surprise attack.

As they escape in search of a mythical place called Earth, they face a lot of obstacles. One of the most disturbing ones is the presence of next-generation Cylons who look, feel and act like humans. In fact, some of them think that they are humans, and are only activated later on when it suits the Cylon wishes.

Well, there's something that stuck with me when I watched it. Somebody on the show said, "..in our desperation, we looked backward for a way to move forward." Somewhat of a oxymoron..but makes sense. Although he meant that the technology on board the Battlestar are dinasours from the past designed purposely to defeat the assault of the Cylons that could disrupt all modern equipment, history teaches us lots of lessons that would be useful for us to advance. By forgetting the past, its mistakes and lessons learnt, we lose our roots. More importantly, how are we to advance when there are lots of things to learn from our forebears that we have forgotten?

For tomorrow!

Lodge me

Ok, for better or for worse, here goes:

Sorry san!

Now that's done, here's a wish that I have. Hopefully CSA will have enough vacancies, and hopefully I applied early enough, so that I can not just stay at CSA but have a choice of which room to stay in next year.

I really hope I won't have to go looking for other places just because CSA ran out of vacancies =(

Yup. Now there's the issue of getting plane tickets for next year. Most probably arriving latest on Valentine's Day's eve. Who's interested? We could go there and get double or triple dates the next day of arrival =p

Good thing I don't have a girlfriend now. A lot of heartache spared.

Though I'd willingly embrace that situation. If only it wouldn't break her heart so.

Thief!

Ah, finally done with Video No.1
It's named Thief!
You'll know why when you watch it.
Feedback session initiated. All involved personnel and any non-IMU people are welcome to have a look-see and give feedback. Hopefully it's not too bad.
First timer noob at video editing you see.
MSN me if you want to comment. Thanks.

Video 2 in progress..Ninjitsu training! Need Naruto pics and OST..anybody can help with that?
Gambatte!

Lodgings..

Argh..accomodation. What a drag..
I have a whole list of possible places that I might stay when I finally complete the Big Move. Maybe I'll stay at UniLodge@Melbourne. Or CSA. But what if I book for one and don't get a suitable room I like? Can I get back my deposit if I turn it down? Not cheap man..
Who has any idea what I should do? Where I should stay? Anything to look out for?
Sigh.
Time IS of the essense..

and don't sleep too late all you nocturnal people out there! Haha..
Get enough rest if and when you can. Don't make me march down there and take care of you when you fall sick. I might just do that..hahas

Maybe I'm the one who should be getting sleep. Hahas..
Goodnight, y'all!

Sense of loss

Ah, just finished an excellent series called Samurai7. It's a tragic tale about a village of farmers. These people are oppressed by the Nobuseri (bandits), groups of gigantic robots that were formerly human Samurai. These Nobuseri would demand that the villagers from all over the region pay protection fees in bundles of rice, or else risk their wrath and destructive force. For years the farmers have bowed down to the preposterous demands of these machines, until one day the Kanna village decide that enough is enough. They send a priestess and her sister together with a farmer to journey to the city in search of 4 Samurai to help them kill the Nobuseri and escape the yoke of slavery.

They end up meeting a legendary Samurai, Kanbei, who suggests that they find a total of 7 Samurai for their purposes. In the end all 7 are found, 7 who are willing to stake their lives on behalf of the villagers for the reward of a lifetime of rice.

This is quite a captivating series, which starts off quite light-heartedly and gradually turns into a tragic story. Based on the classic Seven Samurai with a twist, this show has quite some entertaining Samurai moves. I also like how Akira Kurosawa managed to combine both the old and the new, with katana-wielding Samurai going against mechanised gun-wielding Nobuseri.

Ah, wars are horrendous, and there really is no winner. Like what Kanbei said, this is just another losing war, just like every other battle he has been in. No matter the outcome of the battle, the victory rests on the bodies of the dead.

Highly recommended show, if you care to look past the fact that the manga artists tend to draw the characters in traditional classical Japanese drawing style at times. However, it's not for those who don't appreciate tragic shows. Hehe..the sense of loss and emptiness within the characters grow ever clearer towards the end of the series.



Anyway, enough of anime for now.

Time to send a certain pigpig off at the airport.

Japanese Tshirt folding!

Wow, it works! Hahas..real cool way of folding clothes..can do it for tshirts, singlets and even shirts! Lol..

Japanese folding!

Advancing to the 2nd last frontier!

Congratulations Malaysia! We have finally decided on the person who will assume the title of The First Malaysian Astronaut! Congratulations to the UKM Orthopedic doc who got the title. And what is his mission, you may ask. While other countries might be content with researching the effects of zero gravity on living organisms, or building colossal space stations, or even exploring other worlds, we are one up theirs.
By performing what we have planned, the whole world will know us, our culture!
And what do we do?






Make teh tarik.

Yeah.

On another note, check this out.
Seems that both Malaysia and Singapore agree that "further liberalisation will benefit" both countries. Hopefully they can come to a favorable conclusion soon. AirAsia and Tiger Airways operating shuttle flights between LCC-T and the Budget Terminal of Changi is always welcome =p

Mug, but don't mug

Just a little greeting out to all the people who are having Molecular Genetics assessment tomorrow.

Have a great time mugging, just beware that you don't mistake it and mug somebody! =p The police are quite strict about such matters..hahas..

All the best nocturnal =)

Tribute to Steve Irwin

Yes, this just in. The world famous Croc Hunter just passed on. Steve Irwin died when a stingray barb pierced his heart, making him the 3rd known victim in Australian waters.

For full report see here.

Un-Malaysian?

Congratulations signius, you are 60% not Malaysian.

That means you're as Malaysian as...


Guy Sebastian !

How Un-Malaysian Are You?

My Humps

Heard of this song? It's the one by the Black Eyed Peas..quite popular, you know! Hahas..

Here's a nice version of it.

Aptly named My Hum.

Some other supporting articles here and here.

Warning: This is just a humorous parody found on TalkingCock.com. No malicious intent intended.



And here's some tips about protesting.

Click me!

No, I protest, click me instead!

All credits to www.talkingcock.com and mrbrown, whom N has labelled as "a very free guy".

And maybe I'm the "very bo liao guy"..nothing better to do but copy links and put them here..hahas..

Sales pitch..

So how do you make a good sales pitch?

Get a hint from here.

Outrageously funny..only Malaysia/Singapore people would find it so though, I think. Very reminiscent of the local night life =p

Animations of interest

Just remembered an episode in VJ. That was the period after the first Singapore Idols season auditions, when some smart aleck sang a song that is ridiculously named bananaphone.

People were so enthralled by it that everytime I went to the comp lab, there would be at least somebody who was playing that song.

So, for the benefit of those who didn't listen to this before, or those who have listened to it but don't know where to get a copy, here it is.

Banana phone

For those with a weird sense of humour, here's a horror version of banana phone.

And for those purists out there, here's the original version, sung by Raffi.

Also, there's this website that sortoise intro-ed to me. It's quite..how to put it, captivating also. Here's badger.

For those interested, please get a firefox and install a plug-in known as video downloader. It's a superb piece of code that allows you to download videos from youtube, google and also flash videos from within a page too. They also have a FLV player that is required to play the videos that you have downloaded, except perhaps flash files. And the best thing is, IT'S FREE! Yup =p
On a side note, if you don't have firefox installed, you can click the button on the right panel of this page. The one that is just below the line "Safer Surfer". Eh, support me a little, lah! =)

PS. Please don't blame me if the song sticks in your head. It happened to me too. lol

Singapore Dreaming

Whoa..it's out already! Too bad can't catch it =(

Yup, it's singapore dreaming, a wholly Singaporean film. Even President Nathan went to watch the premiere!

Man, this just rocks, stones and scissors, as our friends kiddy and vege like to say.

To think, I missed Talkingcock The Movie last time and now this.

Oh well..for those interested here's a short review and synopsis. Can even watch the digital version in Eng Wah cinemas! IE. it won't have all those smudges and lines that are associated with older cinema films.

Like what some people say, "Don't be a chicken, be a cock! Tok kok!" Hehe..

Petronas Ad

Here's a Petronas ad that's really meaningful. One of the rare ads that actually is good. Premiered in Malaysia quite some time ago but I missed it. However, kel found it and here it is!

Love? Money?

Post-Merdeka x3

Yup, independence day number 49 has been relagated to the part in time called "history".

Anyhow, I'm glad to have tried out my new mike/headset. It totally cannot be hung on the ear as it was meant to be. The reason being that my ear is smaller than the hook. Not that my ears are small, mind you. They are perfectly average, if there's such a thing. Haha..

Anyway, found this interesting website. Project Gutenberg. Real sweet =p Just be mindful of the copyright issues. Some countries allow this as a legal project, while others will just rap you with an infringement of intellectual property suit.

All the best to Aiman-dono, who will be having an exam this Saturday. Study hard dude, and HANDS OFF WARCRAFT for now=p

Also, all the best to nocturnal, who will be having an assessment on Tuesday. No reminders necessary here, just strong moral and emotional support for you here! Lol..
