This entry, is a rant.

I wanted to blog about this movie 1 week ago but couldn’t find the motivation to start it…

Its called ‘The Bucket List’

I doubt anyone reading this will go and watch this movie so I’ll just go on with the summary. (You may skip this part if you are totally not interested in it.)

The story revolves around 2 man, Edward Cole, a multi-millionaire hospital magnate and Carter Chambers, a common mechanic.

Carter is a gifted historian whose ambition is to be a history professor but during his youth, he was “broke, black, and with a baby arriving” so he had to give up his ambition and took up any job available to him.

As for Edward, he is a corporate tycoon, divorced four times, an eccentric loner, whose daughter refuses to recognize him as her father and enjoys tormenting his personal assistant/valet, Matthew, whom he prefer to call as Thomas. He also enjoys the “world’s rarest coffee, The “Kopi Luwak”.

It began when both of them are diagnosed with cancer and placed in the same room of Edward’s hospital. As time passes by, they became friends while undergoing their respective treatments. Edward is fast in befriending Carter when he told his personal assistant, Matthew to serve his newfound friend – Carter too. He even told his doctor to familiarize himself with Carter’s current health condition.

Carter then begins to write a “bucket list” which is also known as “things to accomplish before kicking the bucket.” He is questioned by Edward regarding what he is writing on that piece of paper (the bucket list), which he politely refuses to tell.

When both are diagnosed with a maximum of one year to live, and Carter knows of it, he was upset and crumples his “bucket list” and tosses it on the floor. Matthew came in the next day, noticing the floor is a mess and picks everything up and passes them to Edward, who is curious to find out what is written in that piece of paper. Edward then began to add more items into the list like sky diving, visiting the pyramids, going on a safari in Africa. He even said that all the travelling expenses will be paid, Carter immediately agrees even though his wife disagrees about it.

The bucket list :

1. Witness something truly majestic
2. Help a complete stranger for a common good
3. Laugh till I cry
4. Drive a Shelby Mustang
5. Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world
6. Get a tattoo
7. Skydiving
8. Visit Stonehenge
9. Spend a week at Louvre
10. See Rome
11. See the pyramids
12. Get back in touch (previously "Hunt the big cat")

They started with skydiving (each with an instructor), where Carter is afraid of dying and pulls the parachute cord before the red zone while Edward refuses to pull his parachute strap even when his instructor insists that he has to pull it. After climbing the pyramids, Edward proposed that they cross off “Witness something truly majestic” as they sat down. Carter declines. During that period of time, they learn from each other and talked about their family. Edward said that he is deeply hurt when his one and only daughter disowned him after he sent men to “deal” with her abusive husband. As for Carter, he said that he felt distant with his wife.

When in Hong Kong, Edward hires a prostitute for Carter, who never had sex with any other woman except his wife. Carter rejected it when he realized that his love for his wife is still strong and asked to return home. In return for helping him, Carter attempts to reunite Edward with his daughter but things didn’t turn out well as Edward lacks the courage to face her. He storms off angrily and Carter returns home to his family.

Their family reunion is short-lived though because Carter suffers a seizure while in preparation for a romantic interlude with his wife. He is rushed to the hospital and it is noted that the cancer has spread to his brain. Edward (who is in complete remission) paid a visit to Carter, where he reveals the origin and the factors that contributed the unique aroma and taste of Edward’s favorite drink - the Kopi Luwak. Both of them had a hearty laugh and Carter crosses off one of the items in the list – “laugh till I cry” and insists Edward to finish the list without him before he enters the surgery room. The operation is unsuccessful and Carter passes on.

During Carter’s funeral, Edward was the one to deliver a eulogy for him, saying that few months before his death, they had been complete strangers. But those last months of Carter’s life (after they met each other) were the best months of his life. With that, he crosses off “help a complete stranger for a common good” in “the bucket list”.

Then we see Edward finally went to reconcile with his only daughter who accepts him back into her life, much to his surprise and joy. She also introduces him her daughter, his granddaughter that he never knew of and kissed her. Crossing “kiss the most beautiful girl in the world” off the list.

As the epilogue, we see Carter narrating stating that Edward lives to the age of 81. On the day he passes away, there isn’t a single cloud on the sky. Edward has his ashes placed inside the same type of can as Carter’s – Chock full o’ Nuts. Where Matthew carries his ashes to the top of Mount Everest and places it in a small black box – next to Carter’s ashes. With that, Matthew crosses off “witness something truly majestic” and places the list inside the small black box before burying it in the snow again.

My dad once told me that the Bible’s teachings are very true. If someone slaps you on your left cheek, give him your right cheek too. If someone steals your coat, give him your tunic too. This should be familiar to most of us. From here I relate this to something that happened in the past.

It’s not that I like to bring up old issues but because whenever I think of that incident, my blood boils. No doubt, that incident I am talking about happened few days just after the final exam.

Introduction to Programming in C.

Students have to attend a 1 on 1 interview session with the lecturer, Sheldon Lee. Failure to do so results in a fail or N for the subject. (Or that’s what I was told)

I have no need to twist what I am going to write here. Everything happened below is true and there are many witness too.

There’s this person that I reminded him of his interview, not once but twice. The 1^st time was 1 or 2 weeks before the interview and the 2^nd time was the day before the interview. Either he did not believe what I told him or just couldn’t be bothered, that I don’t give a damn. The moment I asked him about it the 3^rd time, he was taken aback and went to confirm it himself. Finally he believed me but that’s not all.

He put the blame on me for not telling him the THIRD time that today is the day of his interview. AND he still has the guts to tell another friend “SW, we fail programming because of him.” Deep within me, it took me so much effort to suppress the urge to retort back. Who am I, your servant? Am I paid to keep tabs of your appointments and all sorts of shit you do? NO! You are already 20 years old, and if you still can’t be responsible for yourself, nobody else can help you.

In the end, I gave in and say that it is my fault for not telling you the THIRD time that today is your interview. Yes, any human would have commented that it is a very stupid thing to do – admitting a fault that wasn’t yours to begin with.

Let me be frank, I am positive that many will assume that I am a quiet person, who always give in to other people’s will and rarely disagrees on anything even though I don’t like it. AND if you are willing to go as far as thinking that I am a good target for bullying, LET me tell this to you straight onto the face. You are wrong, so wrong.

“You weren’t wrong, why did you apologize to him?” Many questioned me that way. Sorry, but I usually give in until I believe the person that I give in to is incurable, then only I show my other self.

I give in because I follow the teachings of what I believe. If someone slaps you on your left cheek, give him your right cheek too. BUT every human has its own limit, you try stepping on my head and that is what will happen - Keyword: After MOS test 1.

Whoever is right or wrong, you know it yourself. Apology or not, it’s worthless from you. The last thing I want is to have you crossing my path. You MAY go and twist the tale and tell whatever you want if you intend to defend yourself. It has nothing to do with me anymore. I’ve finished my rant and have nothing else to say about it.

Felt so much better now. Sorry for the rant, I'll compensate by sharing these pictures :

*******

This part of the news really makes me wonder what’s wrong with these people:

This guy is a failure:

Don’t seek advice from this person:

Wrong! :

If you are stolen…:

The picture says it:

Now this isn’t suitable to some people but… just once only ok? :

You poke you pay! :

Read this in English:

Credits to those sites that I took the pictures from, their url is in the picture.

P.S: Any destructive comments from you will be removed immediately. Not that I have no guts to face it, but rather not to waste time replying it. So save your time and just leave after reading it. You may rant somewhere else, somewhere you belong to. If you want

Mumble jumble

Hmm.. I wonder how should I start this entry...

I've finished watching 倚天屠龍記 2003 not too long ago. The storyline is ok but the ending is just so-so only (disappointed lah, obviously). This tale is the continuation of 神雕侠侣 that I watched few months back.

*******

Now for those BS 3 fans out there, rejoice! For Blueserver will be back soon, not as BS 4 but as UC - Pro. More information -here-

No one can deny the passing of time. Even the hardest rock gets worn down from continuous weathering, what else to say of our humanistic character and personality? Yes, they will change with time too. Be it for the better good or the opposite, that is what we have chosen.

Anyway, I found this in campus while hopping from website to website. Yes I know I should be studying only and not surfing the internet but we must balance our lifestyle mah. Got study then got play right?

(Blogger.com kept resizing the picture -_-) so... -Click me-

I pity that dude...

P.S: For those who are very holy and not exposed to the 'alien' world, you are advised not to click on the picture above. Though I don't see any problem with it.

Forgiven n' forgotten

Thoughts to self: I wish I will only live till the age of 70. Losing control of your own body is a very scary thought indeed.

Speaking of that…

Why do men die first? This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries, but now we know. It requires a bit of explanation, first:

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race ... you're a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework ... you're a pansy.

If you work too hard ... there's never any time for her.
If you don't work enough ... you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay ... this is exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay ... you should get off your lazy behind and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her ... that is favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you ... its equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks ... its sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet ... its male indifference.

If you cry ... you're a wimp.
If you don't … you're an insensitive bastard.

If you make a decision without consulting her ... you're a chauvinist.

If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy ... that's domination.
If she asks you ... it's a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear ... you're a pervert.
If you don't ... you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape ... you're sexist.
If you don't ... you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape ... you're vain.
If you don't ... you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers ... you're after something.
If you don't ... you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements ... you're full of yourself.
If you don't ... you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache ... she's tired.
If you have a headache ... you don't love her anymore.

If you want it too often ... you're oversexed.
If you don't ... there must be someone else.

Now why do men die first? Because they want to.

If I say I love alan out of the blue. I’m positive that every reader will think that I turned into a gay.

Rest assured, I’m still straight.


There you go, the name ‘alan’ can also be used by women too even though it is like one in a million.

Actually, I saw her album in DDL websites long ago but ignored it because I wasn’t interested in a singer that I have no idea of, and a guy some more. Until a comment by a downloader caught my eye saying something like: “alan does have a entrancing voice, thank you for uploading it”.

I was wondering what is so entrancing about a guy’s voice so I downloaded one of alan’s album out of curiosity. Lo and behold, instead of a guy’s voice, I heard a gal’s voice. That’s when I became interested in her songs. The reason is because she possesses a powerful but gentle voice, not forgetting that she is a beauty too.

She sang both Chinese and Japanese songs, including one of my favorite few years back - 遇见. Although the original singer is 孫燕姿, the one sang by alan isn’t too bad too.

Even though she is not as popular as other J-pop stars, I’m positive that she will become well known one day.

*******

It seems like whatever I do is always wrong, is it wrong for me to shut my old self? One who is always very direct and unforgiving to the current me - who always kept quiet and very forgiving, who always tells himself that someday he will change that attitude of his?

Put yourself in my shoes and you will realize just how much effort I put in from then till now to endure that attitude of yours. You are already 20 this year - an adult. Can't you be more responsible of yourself?

Well whatever, do as you please. Put the blame on me, curse me. Anything! Know that this is how life works - "Do unto others what you want others to do to you; What goes around, comes around."

Until this point, if you still think I am purposely blogging this entry to stab you from the back and now you want to write back with your flames, think again. I am but just pointing out the facts. If you disagree with what I am writing here, just leave.

I'm tired of it already, if you won't change, then there's no point in it anymore.

Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be.

DC II SS

Remember Winter Sonata?

If you do, click here, If you don't, then click here lor!

Da Capo II Second Season anime is out few weeks back.

朝倉音姫 Asakura Otome

I'm hoping for Otome's ending. :3

I've read through the summary of DC II's game not too long ago and wanted to play the game badly.

Yes I know that there might be H-scenes in the game (some versions of Da Capo do but unsure of this one) all I want is the storyline since many people who had finished the game complimented about it.

Mid term exams are coming soon and we are...

Got this joke in a fowarded message:

Me Too

A true story from the Japanese Embassy in US:

Prime Minister Mori was given some basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets with President Bill Clinton.

The instructor told Mori " Prime Minister, when you shake hand with President Clinton, please say 'how are you?'.

Then Mr Clinton should say "I am fine, and you ?"Now you should say 'me too'. Afterwards we, translators, will do all the work for you.

It looks quite simple, but the truth is ....

When Mori met Clinton, he mistakenly said "Who Are You?".

Mr Clinton was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor: "Well, I am Hilary's husband, ha ha..."

Then Mori replied confidently "Me too, ha ha ha.."

Then there was a long silent moment in the meeting room.

*******

This afternoon, Chen bought a new optic mouse to replace his wireless optic mouse. So he decided to try his new optic mouse out by playing some shooting games.

So...

Counter-Strike is chosen:

As usual, he played with bots in cs_mansion.

Moments later, Robert and Shao Wee joined Chen to bring CS gaming to a new level. Curious how it is done?

Here:

2 person controls the shooting and the other controlling the manuevering of the character.

Awhile later, Shao Wee gave up and Chen took over his spot.

Actually Chen, controlling 2 mouse also same like controlling 1 mouse lah...

He played on for a short while before leaving for Star Ciniplex to watch the infamous Comedy related to Ah-Longs. Forgot the title already, bad memory mah..

Here are some pictures from Cabal online:

Tried hunting for Epaulet +4 for 3 levels in stone golem area and got nothing. By luck I found a +5 Epaulet from a crystal seal.

My usual training ground, the old unused arena at Fort Ruina.

Lured almost all the monsters available to take a SS, I rarely have the chance to gather more than 5 monsters especially in the evening. If this is 2moons, I'll be banned for vacuum hacking. Lame.

I'm trading my Epaulet of Sage +5 for Epaulet of Fighter +5 or Epaulet of Guardian +5. If you are interested, leave a message here :)

*******

Finally my long awaited anime is coming soon~ ^^

DCIISS! (picture taken from SK's blog, credits to him for finding this pic!)

No more Tsukishima Koko please.

Lesson no.1 in romance anime: You wouldn't want to be the first girl the hero talks to, especially in the final episode. The chances of you (the first girl) to end up with the hero of the story is close to zero, or completely zero.

Recently almost a large number of Swinburne PCs are struck with viruses (maybe?) again. No doubt the work of the students of Swinburne again.

Some PCs just reboot again and again,

Some PCs are filled with insane popups of adult videos/pictures and random Ads,

Some PCs are usable but you are not able to save your data. Yes you can click 'save' or 'save as' but the moment you close and reopen it, you will be greeted with an error screen and there goes all your hard work.

This is both a good sign and a bad sign.

The bad sign is: Swinburne technicians/troubleshooters are a failure for not being able to restore the computers back to their original state.

The good sign is: Swinburne students are smart, they are able to write malicious codes to screw the computers and the network servers. At least they don't pay their tuition fees for nothing, right?

Popular Heroes Who Did Not Make It in DOTA

Been MIA for quite some time already, my blog must be growing mushrooms by now...

Here's a mini update.

Enjoy.

*******

A few of the missing underdogs who didn’t make it...

Hero 1: Michael Jackson

Hero Description:

MJ was taunted as one of the best agility hero yet to make an appearance in Dota Sentinel. His swift dance moves can easily dodge enemy's attack. On top of that his masking abilities allow him to be either black (at night) or white (in daytime).

Hero Skills:

1. Crotch attack - Disabling attack...but works only on male hero.

2. Break dance - +99% Evasion (most effective against dodging tinkers missile attack)

3. Black & White - Camouflage effects.

Ultimate: Moon Walk. A combination of Windwalk + Luna's eclipse makes u go Uh hoo!!

Why this hero didn't make it:

-MJ tends to lose concentration when opponent players are little boys.

*******

Hero 2: Osama Bin Laden

Hero Description:

Osama was supposed to be the next big hit with scourge players. His experience as a top terrorist paid off when he is drafted as one of the potential intel based nuke hero. (please note though Osama starting base intel is -1)

Hero Skills:

1. Car bomb - Powerful destruction skill with superior AOE. Cheap too.

2. Terrorist Kidnap - Locks enemy hero for a period of time depending on the amount of gold ransom paid.

3. Al-Jazeera - Using satellite network to broadcast enemy hero's movement.

Ultimate: 911 A powerful skill that summons two Boeing 747s to bring down enemy's towers.

Why this hero didn't make it:

-Osama is prone to go MIA (missing in action) whenever the action begins.

*******

Hero 3: Saddam Hussein

Hero Description:

A close ally of Osama and also a potential scourge hero but Saddam is all about strength. His brute force is terrifying and together with his fat stomach, he can be a good tanker.

Hero Skills:

1. Human Shield - Hiding behind a wall of human shield, Saddam gets bonus armor (+10 or depending on number of people blocking).

2. Chemical Ali - Release poisonous gas that reduces armor and mildly stinks.

3. Conceal - Ability to hide all weapons on his item list and sometimes hide himself.

Ultimate: WMD Weapon of mass destruction, though this is yet to be confirmed.

Why this hero didn't make it:

-Saddam is afraid of binding skills like Rhasta's shackles or anything that resembles a rope.

*******

Hero 4: George Bush

Hero Description:

Bush comes from a long tradition of pathetic heroes (I meant patriotic heroes) and considers himself a sentinel even U.N. protested against it. Bush is more of a support hero type just like in real life he supported war on terrorism, war on Iran, war on Afghan, war on Pakistan, etc. all kind of wars.

Hero Skills:

1. Ally Attacks - Summon allies to help whenever in danger (condition: the ally hero must be Tony Blair).

2. War-on-Terror - Anti timestop skill specifically aimed at Dark Terror (for being so gay in late game).

3. UN Inspection - Ability to find all hidden weapons belonging / not belonging to Saddam and sometimes find Saddam himself.

Ultimate: Presidential Re-Election Similar to Skeleton King's reincarnation, Bush can revive himself from the dead and terrorize enemies again. (Same skill used by George Bush Snr. but cooldown is every 5 years)

Why this hero didn't make it:

-A part of him made it actually. Think fire Bush.

Hero 5: Sammy Vel**

Hero Description:

Sammy is practically and undead. Having outlived all legal lifespan for human, Sammy still has the vitality of a Bollywood star, all thanks to his Magic, Incantation & Conjuring (read: MIC) Powers. Sammy is therefore classified an Intel hero.

Hero Skills:

1. Raise Toll - Summon expensive Trolls to help Sammy farm for more gold.

2. Leak - Similar to mana leak but this skill is aimed at leaking enemies gold. (and sometimes leaking roof).

3. Collapse - A powerful spell that causes Building or Bridges to collapse and cause damage to enemies.

Ultimate: Finger Point Unlike Lion's finger, Sammy's finger point allows him to transfer all the blame (I mean damage) caused by enemy onto him to another unsuspecting hero allowing Sammy to live and fight another day.

Why this hero didn’t make it:

Sammy is currently focused on practicing all kinds of voodoo magic to help him rejuvenate his HP. (HP - Hair Problem)

*******

Hero 6: David Beckham

Hero Description:

Beckham is chosen to be a Dota hero, not because of his good looks, tattoos or his gay voice. The truth is, Beckham was chosen just so we get to see more of Posh Spice's boobs. Beckham's global market reach is already tempting Blizzard to consider making David Beckham endorsed Plate Mail Street Wear, Potion Cola & Tango Snacks.

Hero Skills:

1. Free Kick - A swerving blast of energy with a range of 40 yards leaving the enemies defense all stunned.

2. Penalty Miss - A passive skill combining armor penalty + evasion is powerful enough to send enemy heroes running (and also send England out of Euro 04)

3. England Call Up - Beckham summons his England teammates like Lampah, Jialat & Looney to fight the enemy. Last for 90 seconds.

Ultimate: Victoria Secret Beckham can unleash the power of Victoria Adam's singing causing enemy's ears to bleed non stop. At level 16, the rest of the Spices Girls joins in. (Think Naga's Song of Siren + Seeker's Rupture).

Why this hero didn’t make it:

Beckham has switched from playing football with Real Madrid to playing Division 3 hockey with LA Galaxy. He is seriously considering a career change to acting in the next Hollywood blockbuster Bang it like Beckham.

*******

Hero 7: Tom Cruise

Hero Description:

Beckham's best mate in Hollywood, Tom Cruise is one of our favourite star known for his action stunts and also the sex scenes in Eyes Wide Shut (check it out). Tom's natural ability to swing from one Hollywood chick to another makes him a perfect Agility hero.

Hero Skills:

1. Mission Impossible I - Tom hides a bomb that can make to resemble any item (example a tango or a branch) amongst enemy hero's item. The fake item self destructs in 5 second unless being dropped by the enemy. So think twice when you see a divine lying on the ground.

2. Mission Impossible II- Tom has the ability to swing an invisible rope and slide into enemy's ground without being detected. (Though this may result to a ban if backdoor is not allowed) If trained to perfection, Tom can be hanging from enemy's fire bush (without getting fried) and steal items from the chicken.

3. Mission Impossible III - Tom repeats the same stuff in MI: 1 and MI: 2

Ultimate: The Last Samurai In the event all of his teamates are dead and he is facing an impending gang bang, Tom performs the Harakiri and calls for a 'fast game pls' or 'remake'.

Why this hero didn’t make it:

Being a scientologist, Tom refuse to believe in hero's skill like Zeus's Thundergod's Wrath or Sven's God Strength resulting to unnecessary feeding.

*******

I find it hillarious and hope that you will find it hillarious too, that of course, you must have basic knowledge of Dota.

Few days ago, Jeff, Martin, Robert, Kelvin and I had our dinner at KFC.

Wondering where and how KFC originated from, I looked up for the history of KFC and found this:


This is the original KFC logo.

I didn't know we have KFC 300 - Spartan Fried Chicken or Kentucky Fried Spartans.

Anyone know any SFC outlets? =S

The Internet - Part III

One of the most common vulgar word~!

MSN is one useful tool. You can use it for chatting purposes, sending files, video conferencing and many more.

There are times when we accidently typed messages not meant for the person you are talking to. You want to take back what you say, but it is too late. The message appeared on the screen.

Did you experienced this before?

As for me, I experienced this before while chatting with more than 6 people at the same time.

The misunderstanding

I'm sure many of you came across this video before.



Sit back and enjoy :)

-------------------------------------------------
Anyone up for v6.40? Lolness.

The 1st sight...

The 1st time I met her was 3 years ago. The 1st time she came to my house, all my family members could not wait to meet her. Well, not all actually. I think my mum wasn’t up to her entering our home and becoming a part of our family. Although there were some ‘confusions and misunderstandings’ initially, everything went well after we became familiar with her ups and downs.

Recently, her condition began to collapse exponentially. Besides calling in so-called ‘doctors’ to get her back to her original state, nothing could be done as the damage has been done. She was given many names, ugly names of course, by the ones who met her before.

Even though I do really dislike her sometimes, she’s the only choice here for the time being, what can I do? Many had lodged complains to her manager but only a small amount was answered. Even those whose complains had been answered did not saw any difference between her condition before the ‘doctors’ came and after the ‘doctors’ go.

Sometimes I do hope the company managing her would just put in MORE effort to answer the users’ demands, if not, they are definitely going to see many migrating to other ‘her’ once available in their vicinity.

Wondering who is the ‘her’ I kept mentioning over and over again? It is none other than…

Is tmnut screamyx considered a 'she' or 'her' anyway?

A worldwide survey was conducted by the United Nations.

The only question was: “Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure...

In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
And finally, in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

Student trouble (male)

Went out to KFC with my parents for dinner. A treat from my auntie, to celebrate my grandma's birthday :) I think I'm gonna put on weight now..

off topic: it should be nice to put on weight, since my body weight keeps decreasing everytime I weigh myself =/

Btw... I found this in the internet. Anyone experience this before?



















Wow @ the campus...

Bowling on Wednesday

After EMA class that Wednesday, SP called and asked us to go out for a game of bowling. Ya ya, i know what you guys would want to say... "WL you are supposed to study after class and you go bowling?!" =X

Kelvin, Shao Wee, Tung Ing, Soon Ping and me went to the Crystal Bowling Complex and played for 3 games @ RM10. Yes it's kinda expensive to me as my wallet is close to empty but heck, who cares? As long as it is fun is what matters!

SW said he played bowling for the 1st time and yet he plays well.. Kelvin and Tung Ing played very well while Soon Ping and I are still kinda new in this game. Everyone suits well with a 10-12kg ball but when I tried it, the ball flies up and goes bang! That @#*&@# ball rolls into the so called drain "gracefully" . Because of that, I took the 2nd heaviest (is it the 2nd heaviest) 15 kg ball only then it would not roll into the drain again.

Here's a few pictures combined into one, taken by Soon Ping with his camera (he goes everywhere with his camera. Be careful, you might get into his CC aka Candid Camera)















Shao Wee's "pose" is the best among us all; SW: "This is the first time I see you laughing till your face turn red."

The Olympic Games

Everyone should be familiar with the Olympic games. But those games were the same all the time. Eventually, everyone might get bored over it. Because of that, some genius enhanced the Olympic games to make it more exciting.

Below are some pictures I received from an email. Maybe some of you saw these before but what about those who had not seen it yet? Everyone should be given a chance to see them.

Enjoy :)

Firstly, fencing. How does it feel when you fence at great heights?



















Fear of heights? No problem! Allow me to introduce the 2nd method of fencing...

Secondly, fencing again... This IS definitely the best choice for the youngsters who never had the chance to hold a chainsaw.














The amount of casualties must be staggering...

Thirdly, Diving. You are to perform as many spins or whatever dance u know before falling into the pool with the most gentle splash.














Able to aim for the pool?

Next, Ski-Hunting. Suitable for hunters who could not bear to harm an animal...



















Dwarven sniper: "FIRE!" *Bang! bang! *

After that, sky-aerobics. "Flipping and twisting around is nothing to me, I need something more exciting!"



















"On second thought, this is too dangerous!" - Too late.

Followed by, Sprinting. You know, to be the best runner, there is a heavy price to pay, not a matter of money but a matter of life and death. Presenting the amazing runner!



















RUNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! Did you see his enthusiasm or his desperation?

Next stop, dynamite-tag-relay. Instead of using batons, we use dynamites! Time waits for no one. Runner to the next runner: "Here, take this "baton" and run! All the best to you, if you do not make it, remember that I will always love you!" (not homosexual thank you)



















Fellow runner: "Why must I be the next one to hold this "baton" ?" (T_T)

Next stop, high jump. (or is it?) Being confident is a must, but those barbed wires shattered my confidence...














*Prays hard not to fall unto those "welcoming hands" of the barbed wires.*

Finally, long jump from hell. You could see the fear and anxiety from the athlete's face.



















"I must make it no matter what... NOOOOOO!"

Amazing Maths!

Yes yes, mathematics is amazing. It pays when you managed to solve them all.
But I wonder sometimes... are people trying to be too smart... or the other way round?
Below are a few humorous maths solution brought by the students of today.

Enjoy :)

If you love someone...

I felt that sometimes I have to control my own words, especially when I'm talking to a girl. I was lucky I didn't screw things up, if not, I would never forgive myself for doing so.

What makes life 100%?

If we assign numbers to the alpahabet...

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

to

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

then,
HARDWORK 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%

KNOWLEDGE 11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%

and ATTITUDE 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%

yes yes, but BULLSHITING 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 9 14 7 = 133%

so what can you conclude?
