Exertion

I wonder how my family would be without me. They're like totally rely on me to run their chores and stuff... I am the mechanic, house maid and babysitter of the house. Other than that, i am also a chef from time to time. I got quite fed up of it today. Since i woke up, mother had already asked me to babysit for Renee and Darren while she did shopping. Reasonable enough because she dont shop often and the time she ever shop is the time she wanted to restock things. Okay fine, i babysit...

She home about an hour later and oh yeah...father took leave since last Friday till next week. That means, annoying as it could be, he's home. It's not like i dislike him at home but he tend to be nuisance from time to time. I cant even have peace doing my stuff when he's home. With is totally bothersome... Then, there he is, fetching mother back from shopping and he came back with i dont know what that is but from what they said, it's sounds like 'iron key' or something. It's a tool to assemble and disassemble furniture. You see, Chris bought a queen size bed back..which costs her bout 1k++. I dont know where the hell did she get all the money from and she's like...a money maker or something. I've never ever seen her complain about not enough money and things like that. Then again, she does but it's always temporary. She has about 6 or so watches which she bought and NEVER or SELDOM wear them. i asked her why she bought so many watches... "For fun and as decoration". =.=" *faint*

Anyway, fine, back to 'iron key'. Father throw those 'iron key' to me once he's back. I asked him what for and one of the attitude i hate about his is he never tell me what he wanted me to do and so on... It's like... i-ask-you-come-and-you-must-come kind of way. Which, is very irritating. Of course i could've inquired further or even argued with him but then, sigh...for the sake of peace and mother, i just follow his orders. I dare to tell, if mother wasnt around, i wouldn't have behave to him this way. He told me, he just throw those keys to me for fun and wouldn't have need my help.

Bah! In the end, who disassembled and keep those wooden furniture into storeroom? ME!!! What he was doing all the time? Chatting on phone, walking around, and SUPERVISING. I hate supervisors and i've scolded grandfather some number of times for that. If you've the mouth and the idea to do stuff, why not you become more hands on and keep your mouth shut? When we make a mistake, then they'll start grumble grumble and more grumbles. That's when my fire will come and started shouting at the supervisor. It's not my first time, so, i don't really mind. That's why i prefer hands on rather than supervising others. It's a pain in the arse for the one who were being supervised.

Okay after that, i thought it's over. So back to my usual routine which is the one and only, COMPUTER and INTERNET!!! Sadly, it never happened... I was ordered around again and this time, is to re-babysit Renee. So, fine... i won't complain this cause it's a task from mother and not someone else. After about some time of babysitting and getting her to bed and stuff, BACK TO COMPUTER and INTERNET! Before i was able to get my office chair heated up, Chris were back and she started to complain saying how useless i was not helping mother and always sit in front of the computer and stuff like that. Of course it hurts me... But well, i just kept quiet and let her mumble. If she want to say how useless i am, then let's flashback to the time when she was 16 or so and i was like 12 or something... Let's see...when she was 16...did she ever cooked for the siblings while parents were not home? Did she ever do house chores when parents were not home? Did she like...wash some cloths when parents were not home? NOOOOO or rather, unless miracle happens, it's VERY SELDOM!

Then let's see what was i doing when i was 12 shall we? Oh oh! Let's go back even further back... I learned how to cook rice when i was 10 and i learned how to cook eggs and things like that later on. I learned how to do house chores when i am only 12 and i learned to cook more stuff or rather, i learned how to cook some of my favourite foods with total success. I started cleaning the house when i was 12++ in the times where parents are still working. How bout her? She's 22 now and did she know how to cook? I really really really doubt so. The best thing she can cook are eggs and instant noodles. She tried to cook rice... FAILED, turned to porridge instead... french fries...FAILED, nice blackly burned french fries... nuggets...FAILED, same like french fries.

so, i am useless or she is??? Nevertheless, she treat me quite well too... Just that she and her hurling words... XD Guess what? My anger had vanished and i dont know what to complain anymore. Why is it so? I actually stopped writing and went down to take my KFC and came back up again XD While writing, i am also eating...haha... Late dinner... XD Too busy... Mother hasnt eat yet too... Oh yeah, before i end, there's a simple hierarchy in my house. It's sort of like...

Me and Mother

Searched up on the net for the sake of the arrow ascii code....but found HTML arrow code instead =.=" Anyway, both mother and me are on the same rank cause basically, i help her, she help me and so on. But never the other way round. We're always the 'servants' of theirs...

Home Alone

Chris and Cat departs to KL earlier today. Whole family actually went out quite early to attend relative's 21^st b'day. When we were there, we thought it is buffet dinner as being told by her parents. So, mother actually packed a red packet worth of RM100 for the girl. We showed up in her house and guess what...it turned out to be... HOME COOK BUFFET!!! I was like.... WTH!? Me and Cat was totally stunned... Homemade buffet??? I am so speechless... Before i went to the bday, i already told mother, i will never ever wanted a birthday party when i am 21 years old. PLEASE, dont make one for me. I prefer to live my life quietly rather than making it like a big deal to be 21 years old and stuff like that...

Too old fashion i think. We siblings never ever wanted a 21 y.o. bday at all! We find it quite ridiculous... So what? It's just another birthday... Maybe with the fact that you're so called obtained total freedom. Anyway, i was totally disappointed with the buffet dinner. I thought wow i am so hungry and im gonna eat till my stomach burst(hyperbole). It turned up to be fried bee hoon, fried won ton, brocolli with button mushroom, hot dogs, nuggets and some curry chicken stuff which was cooked by my aunt. I dont really mind eating all these but we came with such an empty stomach craving for some cheap delicacies and swtz...it turned out to be something which i eat daily if i wanted to.

I am really wondering, why do people wanted to invite the whole family members just for a single girl's annual birthday? It's not like it's once in a lifetime stuff. It's true you'll only age 21 once in a lifetime but what differences is it between the other birthdays? Anyway, WHOLE family members is not little such as 20 to 30 people or such. WHOLE family members in my Oung family = 200++ to 300++ if all attend. That's why i said it's quite ridiculous... Pity the parents of the girl though, or rather, my aunt and uncle. They've to cook and cook and serve the family members all the time... Oh! One more thing, these aunt of mine likes to show off and maybe that's why she actually said for it to be buffet dinner which turned out to be homemade buffet dinner. Whatever it is, one word, RIDICULOUS. Maybe im selfish or rude in this sense but i really find it ridiculous to actually make a party for that reason... and to invite all family members for that.

Anyway, i cant wait for January. Why? WIMAX IS COMING TO PENANG ON JANUARY!!! AND I AM GOING TO SUBSCRIBE! YES, I AM GOING TO SUBSCRIBE!!! I tested the connection on speedtest.com during their roadshow on PC Fair and whoa i tell you, it's much better than streamyx's 4mbps connection. Anyway, my seniors do tell me that sooner or later, Wimax is going to crumble as in the connection are going to be slowed down. I really hope that does not happen. I am wondering, Wimax uses microwave technology and microwave is like...around the air isnt it? Will the connection eventually become congested or something? Anyway, Wimax stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. Like the name itself said, MICROWAVE and that's why i am really wondering, will it actually be congested? Since it's through air/space as a medium instead of cable and therefore, the information are like...flying around the air right??? So, will there be collision of data or something???

Look!!! LOOK AT THE SPEED!!!

I am getting one of this fat thingy. In the near future, they'll release the pendrive type though.

Predictable

Sometimes, i have the feeling that i am the man of the family instead of father. For one reason, i do all the houseworks. Like repairing pipes, changing light bulbs and so on. Basically, the "every single day routine" of father is wake up, work, home, watch tv, sleep. NEVER EVER help mother unless he mother whined or argued with him. He has acrophobia so, maybe im fine with the changing light bulb thing. But, HE'S TOO DEPENDANT ON ME! It should be the opposite but it seems to me, it doesn't work that way in my family.

Every single easy stuff which only requires a few moment of twinkling or thinking have to be solved by me. For instance, the television cannot work for some reason. He didnt even bother checking for solutions. The first thing he did was "Eh? Why cannot work? WILLIAM!!!!". I always tried to ignore him but he's persistent and although he knows that i always feel annoyed when somebody call me to do simple stuff, he still do so! Pah! And yet he said he understand all of us. What a lame thing to say. No human can ever understand one another... That's why argument exists. Other than that, he thought he's the boss of everyone. He thought he paid for that particular something and everybody should listen to him. Bah! It's true he paid for Astro and he paid for the Internet but even so, you don't need to have such a rude attitude to say something like... "Ei...wat time izit now? U dono wat time ar? Dono how to change to sports channel ar?" or "Ei...wat day is today??? U dono how to open 4d2u ar?". 4d2u is that stupid lottery website.

Some people would just like to try their luck on these kind of stuff. And they just cant learn from these kind of things. Sigh...dont wanna elaborate any further... No mood wanna talk bout him. Then again, he's an okay everyday father but he's not the father of my dream or anything near it. My dream father had died... Or i should say, my father had died. Why would i say such a rude thing? It's cause, i miss my time when i was younger and he was a much nicer, more complete father. As we grow, things just got worse and worse till this stage where he even said so himself, i have not much respect towards him. Not gonna elaborate.

Anyway, let me see... Who's dependent on me? For starter, father of course and ah!!! There's Chris and Cat! There's also mother! Whoops, isnt that the whole family of mine? YEAH IT IS! At least Chris, Cat and mother did something for me in return. Sisters are going KL tomorrow and they were out the whole day. When they came back and see me, i've predicted what they're gonna ask me to do. So, haha....im not surprised. Im wondering if there's a day where they'll come home and say something like "Hello little bro" or "How's your day little bro?". The first moment they came home and saw me, it was "HEY! i need you to charge my MP3", "Hey, i need you to transfer games into PSP", "Hey, have you inserted songs into my iPod?" and "Hey, i need my bag".

I've already know what they were gonna ask and lol! I've prepared everything. I've inserted songs into Cat's iPod, charge Chris's mp3 and transfered games into laptop which are going to be transfered to their PSPs later on. Basically, i am their everyday guy. Chris even told me, if i am not her brother, she would've date me. I was like... =.=" Yuck! Date my own sister... =.=" Thankfully, she leave me alone... She likes to purposely disturb young male relatives. To be exact, my cousins, Nicholas, Kenneth and Jackie. She will always go up to them and ask for funny kisses and hug them or sometimes, 'rape' them XD Everything is just for fun and we really enjoy it. But thankfully, she dont do that on me.

Despite the fact that i am their personal servants, they treat me equally well too. They loved me very much and always 'donate' their unwanted goods to me. XD I am their rubbish collector. They don't want mp3, it'll be for me. They don't want PSP, then it's mine again and so on and so fourth. During the period when we were growing, we were constantly fighting and when i say fighting, it's literally fighting. We punch each other, kicks and lol! There's even once where i accidentally strangled Chris and he actually grabbed my groin. Ouch... Then again, adrenaline rush made us forget about the pain and we go on fighting. Chris even tried to strangle Cat when we were younger.

Cat actually choked and coughed but of course Chris got scolded and all. Despite that, we actually laughed about how Cat was choked and coughed and so on. It's quite funny... Of course thankfully Chris came to sense before she actually choke Cat to death. That's why we learn that anger management is important. Instead of we scolding Chris and hating her, we just think of it as a lesson. Look at the bright side they say...and it's true. That's why i am usually a happy go lucky type of person even though from time to time, i am depressed or sad. Usually, i wear a mask to cover my own sadness :D

Okay a lil bit bout mother. Why is she dependent on me? BABYSITTING. When she's not home, it's up to me to clean the house. Yes, i do the sweeping/vacuuming and mopping. Sometimes, i even do the plate washing or whatever you call that as. Chris and Cat doesnt even bother if the house were super dirty but i just can't take it. Too many hairs on the floor with dusts and a few specks for tiny rubbishes. My relatives call me "nai pa" which means "Panny" (a term i made up for "male nanny") in Mandarin. They say something like "Nai Pa come ady". =.=" I know the ins and outs of single child i've ever took care of except the newborn Renee. That's why, Darren boy can't escape his lies and mischievousness from me. And there's Shu Vern!!! ARGH! Soooooooooooo cute now. She's still a very dirty freak like last time but she's very cubby and super cute ^.^ You know, she's so dirty until the state where she POOP when she's asleep! Sadly, no pics of her... She's coming on SUNDAY!!! WHICH MEANS, TOMORROW!!! Cant wait for her to come... Ah...even my new collegemates/friends know i loooooooooooove babies very very very very much.

Go McD, buy toys for kids. Go shopping, browse children's department and so on. Haha...i do really hope for a child of my own ASAP. Then again, i am still quite young to be responsible for a child. So, it's best for them that i do not have them yet. I hope that i did not make stupid mistakes by having sex or something and poof! A baby is born! I do really want to stabilize my life before i have a baby. Marriage maybe, but there'll only be a child when i've the ability to give them a good life. I do not want my child to suffer.

WOW! Look at the time! 0400 soon! I've got Computer Network mid term exam at 0900 =.=" GTG now...anyway, i dislike this subject. It's confusing!!!

AstalaVista!!?

Phew so, finally, i've successfully installed Vista. But, while im typing, my laptop is still under configuration or rather, installing and doing file transfers. THANK GOODNESS that i persuaded mother hardly to let me buy an external hard disk. It proved to be very useful for more than one occasion. Chris was the one who sort of object me buying it because they said it's expensive and it's useless. Guess what? She herself is 'renting' space on my external hard disk. Of course by renting, i do not mean to charge her or anything. Im not that evil to charge my own sister money for a couple of gigabytes. Or rather, about 12 GBs.

Okay, so what's the pros and cons i found installing Vista?

Pros:

1.  Nice interface
   
2.  Flexible GUI
   

Cons:

1.  Confusing, very different from XP
   
2.  Annoying UAC (User Administrator Control)
   
3.  Annoying features
   
4.  Installing and file transfer takes longer time
   
5.  Buggy
   
6. Very buggy
7. Supper buggy
8. Irritatingly buggy

Well, conclusion, only the graphics and the GUI which are interesting. This is the only reason i actually even bother to install Vista. Luckily, for me , the cons failed to prevent me from installing Vista. Unluckily, for Bill Gates and Microsoft, they've lost a few hundred or if im nt mistaken, it's thousands of RM from me. Or i should say, i owe Bill Gates/ Microsoft a few Ks. XD Anyway, i always dislike reformatting and although this is actually the second time im doing it, i hated it already. It's like... you're moving to a new house and you've to move your furnitures and install new Astro, telephone line, tell other ppl your location, change addresses on ICs and related stuff and so on. SOOOOOOOOOO many things to do. And last of all, you've to repaint your house or in this case, you've to reconfigure your profile and stuff like that.

Opps....got to go. Anyway, YEAH!!! I CAN READ DORAEMON MANGA ONLINE! IT'S AVAILABLE ALREDY!!! After so many years of searching, i finally found it!

Vista

All these while, i was using Windows XP on laptop instead of Windows Vista. Due to frustration towards Mei Yin who DOESNT WANT TO BRING RECOVERY DISK FOR ME despite the fact that i called and called her for A WEEK!!! Ok fine....so i seek my friends and they introduced me to Vista. Was relunctant cause i've had some bad experiences with Vista quite some time ago when Vista was just released. Full of bugs and stuff... But, well, they sort of persuaded me or rather, convinced me that it's ok to use Vista. So, i installed Vista Ultimate Premium and HEY! IT LOOKS REALLY COOL!

Sadly, =.=" after wasting 2 - 3 hours ++ installing, reconfiguring and learning the basic of Vistas, (yeah...XP and Vista is sort of different), i just realize.... i installed Vista IN WRONG PARTITION!!! The partition which consist of Vista HAS ONLY 10 GB!!! OMFG! So, i've to reinstall again. But not today....the dvd Liang gave me doesnt seem to work... Maybe cause my laptop memang lao eiah d.

Overall, Vista is nice. Maybe cause it's Ultimate Premium or something like that. But sadly, i hate the UAC...

You know....sometimes, i can cope with my lecturer but sometimes, it's kinda hard to cope with him. He's like...i dont know....maybe one of the weirdest teacher i've ever faced in my entire education life. He's a good teacher but sadly, i dislike his teaching style. Yes, it's good but he wasted too much time on something... It is true that certain things he gave are hard and maybe meaningful but sadly, i dont really appreciate it because we, as the students should also do our part to study by ourselves instead of them spoon feeding us. 

Sometimes, he's wastes 1/2 hour standing in front and expect a respond from us towards the questions he asked.... He does teached me a lot of things but sadly, i dont really understand his lessons. One of the reason is cause he likes to ask questions without giving answers...

Congratulation!

Gratz to Sebas for getting score 6 in Singapore O-Level examination!!! Don't put yourself in a hard situation. Do know that your "best 3" scores is just 3 marks away from the best ones. They're 3 and you're 6. At least you're not 10++ right? 

You've managed to get into secondary 5 and congratz for that!!! Your dream to go Poly is one step ahead! At least you dont need to go to National Service on dont know what island infested with ghost yet, right??? Cheer up ^.^

1/1,000,000,000 of a Second

What are these three old pictures about? It is actually an atomic explosion!!! Im totally amazed at the picture which were captured....and try to imagine...i takes you, 1/1,000,000,000 of a second which is equivalent to 1 of a BILLIONTH second to capture the image! And whoa...the explosion is so....roundish... The pictures were taken by a guy named, Harold Edgerton. If im not mistaken, from what i've googled, his name is Professor Harold Eugene "Doc" Edgerton. Guess what? He died exactly a week before i was born!

Provocation / O- Level

I just realize more or less, i am good at this... Yesterday or two days ago, i wrote "Commencing Xamaria Operation" or something like that on MSN. The purpose of this operation is to tip off someone's anger and let that guy like...resign from his current post... It was assigned by someone to me and wow...i find it quite nice and yet another opportunity to test my ability. It seems to me, it totally works!

Works like a charm and sweatz...the person basically trying to struggle with words and stuff like that... I had a good time scolding that person for the sake of well, completing this operation... I didnt scold in an anger manner but more towards irking that person. I answered every single questions of his in a sarcastic manner with the extra of correcting him and...in the same time, making fun of him until he twisted his own words... It's really fun but it's KARMA!!! Then again, it's something which i seldom did...

Then, just before i wrote on this blog, i was playing Rappelzsea. I am using a female character named Artermis. I am using a female char simply because well, girls are much more famous and get much more attention rather than using a male character. On top of that, female char usually obtains gifts from those 'chee ko' guys. A lil bit of flirting and those virtual XOXO (kisses and hugs) will make their heart go... "Ahhh~~~" and the "she love me, she love me not" attitude. But of course there are clever guys too who didnt believe i am a girl... Despite so, i still have my secret technique to letting them believe that i am a girl... It works like a charm alllll the time... Wahaha...even gaming requires techniques. Cunning but well, it's virtual...so basically i bear no guilt. There really are girls who play games and one of them is Chris but then again, just to be safe, i never ever believe every single virtual girl i met especially the flirty ones...

Ok what actually happened today really makes me laugh like mad. This guy named 'SoulHate' pm-ed me and i responded the question with a total sense of humor which of course, tipped him off XD. I named myself after the Greek Goddess of the Wild, Artermis cause well, i am using a female archer which, suits the name.

SoulHate: Hello, where u frm?
Artermis: Earth
SoulHate: Seriously, where u frm?
Artermis: I told you! I am from Earth. If i am not from earth, then where am i from? Mercury? Venus?
SoulHate: I think i know you.
Artermis: Sadly, i dont know you.
SoulHate: I got a friend...are you my friend?
Artermis: No, i dont have a friend like you.

*a few minutes later*

SoulHate: R u raymond?
Artermis: No??? I am a girl and do u noe any girl by the name of Raymond? i don think so rite?

*another few minutes later*

SoulHate: Where u stay?
Artermis: Home...or to be exact, a house...
SoulHate: ^&*^%^&

*after some time*

Artermis: So, anymore question?
SoulHate: If u tink my question funny, i don wan ask nemore
Artermis: Oh i am sorry but your question just arent specific enough
SoulHate: I friendly and gt mny frens but u first rude person i met wif no frens
Artermis: Oh! You are the first person i've ever met with funny english
SoulHate: OKok, then, I AM SORRY i talk to you
Artermis: Hate to burst your bubbles but, i do have many friends in this game
SoulHate: *further cursing*
*end*

LOL!!! I tipped him off till he said sorry to me =.=" I guess that's how annoying i am XD I really hope this is not becoming another habit of mine.

Google Chrome browser... Damn efficient but not really stable yet. Still on beta phase.

This simple web page, TOOK ME 5 HOURS TO COMPLETE!!! It looks really really really really easy...and when i saw the mini assignment, i told myself...what the heck...such and easy stuff... But then, whoa! When i started doing, lol! It's kinda hard... Not hard in the sense of writing... I can write the codes easily. The hard part is the proper LOGIC and the debugging part. I've got to make nested tables and correct sequencing of the values and stuff like that... Now i know why my lecturer says "Sometimes, it'll take us days to make debugging" OR "Sometimes, you need a few days to figure the right algorithm and implement it".

O- Level

I jz realize that Singapore education system is efficient. Why do i say so? Well, my friends had just taken their exams like....last month or something. And guess what? He's gonna get his result this Thursday, 18^th of December... He's very anxious of course.... Who doesnt? Well, maybe those slacking or so-called losers students don't care. I am really surprised that they can get their results so fast.... 

Even for SPM in our country, whoa! It takes like 3 months or so to get our result... If they wanted to compare quantity, it's true that Sg has less students compare to ours but think about it... Malaysia has more teachers and schools too compared to Sg isnt it? Yet, we need to wait for like...3 months or so to obtain our result...

Anyway, best of luck to Sebastian and Guan Hui. You guys can do it!!!

Artificial Dream

I've experimented this on myself a few years ago but i've never had test subjects. Now that i do, and tested on it...and it seems that these artificial dreams do WORKS!!! Basically, my test speciment, Mr. Sebastian is still undergoing the experiment phase but, i've a confirmation from another one of my friend, that it does work!!!

He too had experienced that himself and although i didnt tell him the actual steps to create artificial dreams, HE TOLD ME THE EXACT STEPS I WOULD'VE TOLD HIM himself!!! And to confirm on that, i asked him for the after effect and once again....IT IS THE SAME!!!

Alright... how to make artificial dreams....well, i'll post that next time... But one dangerous thing about artificial dream is that it might causes a person to go suicide OR under depression. That's two of the possibilities we've found so far based on our own experiences. Yes, i do tested this on myself and my friend too tested it on himself.

So far, both of us had never revealed this to anyone but i've decided to share it among my friends. Though, i am not sure if others had discovered this or not...

Nevertheless, i will tell you guys if you guys never know about this... I do hope that this is a big discovery where Scientists/ doctors all over the world had never known this but, well, the possibilities are not big i guess... Since my friend discovered this himself so, im sure others had discovered this too....

Then again, i really hope it's a big discovery :D

Here's a few interesting REAL CAKE photos from one of my favourite website...

Crime Fighting and Health Technology of The Next Generation

Yet again, i've gotten another news from of course, non other than Yahoo! It seems that nowadays, more and more of these news are 'eye catching'. So, what's up with the crime fighting and health technology? From what i read in the news, a single fingerprint actually provides MORE information than a simple print itself. It tells the history of what you touched and so on based on the residue of the substance(s). Anyway sadly, it tells a bit too much information about us which well, it's like even your own fingerprint will causes problem for you... Especially when you're doing something bad and they sort of like...can trace it...

Dec. 10, 2008 -- A careless touch could be all police or insurance companies need to determine not only your identity, but also your past drug use, if you've fired a gun or handled explosives, even specific medical conditions.
"A fingerprint is only good to identify a criminal if you already have their fingerprint on file," said David Russell, a professor at the University of East Anglia, who, along with Pompi Hazarika, helped developed the new technique, reported in the German journal, Angewandte Chemie. "This will give police new tools to help discover that identity."
For decades forensic scientists have dusted fingerprints with magnetic particles to reveal the hidden swirls and curls that differentiate each person on the planet. The iron oxide particles attach themselves to the tiny bits of water, minerals, and oils that accumulate on the fingers as they touch various objects and other parts of the body.
The new technique attaches the iron oxide particles to antibodies and suspends them both in a liquid solution, which is then drizzled over a fingerprint. If the chemical that a specific antibody targets is present, the molecules latch onto it and glow.


So far the scientists can detect five different drugs: THC (marijuana), cocaine, nicotine, methadone and a derivative of methadone. Other drugs, particularly opium-based drugs like heroine or morphine, should also be detectable, since antibodies already exist for them as well.
Drugs aren't the only chemicals the new tests could detect. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other medical conditions produce specific chemicals also secreted in sweat and oil. By tweaking the antibodies on the particles, forensic scientists could test for a variety of medical conditions. This could help police track down a suspect by, say, watching the local kidney dialysis clinic if the suspect has kidney failure.
On the other side, prosecutors could also use additional fingerprint information to convict criminals, or defenders could use it to help keep clients out of jail. If a fingerprint has the antibodies for, say, a genetic disease that a client doesn't have, a defender could use that information to raise doubts about the prosecutor's case.
The new fingerprint analysis doesn't only monitor the body's internal environment. It also reveals external information. If a person fires a gun or has handled explosive material, trace amounts of those chemicals are left on the hand, which can then be detected if the person leaves a fingerprint.
"I think this is quite important," said Graham Cooks, a professor of chemistry at Purdue University who does similar work. "Now you get the connection between the identity of the individual, through the physical fingerprint, and particular compounds, which are associated with the virtual fingerprint."
The technique will certainly help police gain more information about criminals, but there are privacy concerns for law abiding citizens, said Cooks.
"If I come to your office and leave a fingerprint on your desk, you now have a biomedical sample of me," said Cooks. "You can then proceed to find out as much information about me as you want," from what lotion you used that morning to what drugs you did last night.
Researches won't speculate on when the new fingerprint analysis will be commercially available to police departments or how expensive a commercial version will be. But they do say it will have to pass several tests to ensure the system doesn't produce false positives, or that a person who, for instance, didn't do drugs comes across as testing positive for cocaine.
"It'll be pretty cheap, but still more expensive than using normal magnetic powder," said Russell. "We envision that this would first be used for serious or high profile crimes like rape or murder."

Deception

Today i've been hitted with yet another not so pleasant news in my life. It might be pleasant to others perhaps but not really me... One of them is that there's a group of people who are actually discussing about me. Not in a bad backstab way neither gossiping but they're actually planning to put me in a higher position or something...or rather, what one of them told me is, 'potential leader'. Of course i WHAT THE HELLed but to think that i am to lead a bunch of people? I am not sure... I can lead if i wanted to but the problem is, i am very BAAAAAAAAAD in job delegation. Most of the time, i just suck everything up and well, of course my group will have a nice time relaxing etc etc.

Then, in the other situation, during class, i was appointed group leader =.=" for a mini assignment in Database System. So fine, im the minority and they voted me....so i suck it up. Then it was the time where Mr.Lew assesses each and every one of us. I was like Mr. Professor Goh, sucking everything up and practically doing the job by ourselves. He started to comment on Professor Goh saying he shouldnt do so etc etc and when it's my turn i thought he was gonna say the same... but then =.=" He talks about Raziman saying all he did was staring at the screen and of course i defended him saying he did provide me some idea. I should've kept quiet... Why? He said that is the criteria of a good leader....

I am a weird guy i think. For one reason, i've my own urm....perception. I dislike being praised neither do i like being looked upon like an idol or a god. I prefer to be myself...live in a humble life... Of course i would like to be appreciated from time to time but not to the extend of letting the whole wide world know about it. Appreciate as in the form of like...acknowledge my existence or something like that. well, i said this cause basically certain people in my life sort of like...doesnt know that i existed. (relatively speaking) And that really hurts... To treat someone like they're my own family but in the end, they just treat me like a tool. I do not wish for like...payback or anything alike on the deeds i did on someone but all i ask is for acknowledgment instead of dumping me aside... That's all i asks...

I give what i take and i believe there's no such thing as one way route. It's like...i share with you my knowledge and i expect something in return. Well, at least that's my concept... But it's the opposite way... I do not expect people to return something to me but i expect myself to pay whatever thing i learnt from others...one way or another...

Since last time, i do realize that if i push people hard enough, i can bend their will towards mine indirectly. Not that i have that kind of supernatural power but it's just that sometimes, i've the mouth to convince people to change their mind. I do not know if i am hallucinating or im just dreaming but so far, i've quite some incident where i was sort of like... evil and used them to well, gain benefits on myself. It's not exactly a nice way to do so but then... sigh...it's like im developing this bad habit and nowadays, im using people more and more often. Well, not to the extend of everyday or every single occasion but it's like...maybe when i need to go somewhere or i needed something and i will 'bend' their mind indirectly. Sigh.... i hope this doesnt turn into a habit...

Jokes

Nowadays im visiting Cari forum more and more often. To my delight, they've just started the English version not long ago and therefore, i was one of the first or second batch member i guess... Anyway, i visited the "LOL" section of the forum which consists of jokes of course... Here's a few that i would like to remember...


Yet another problem with the pictures....i always have to resize the pic...but well, i'll make exception to this entry....too many pictures and im lazy to read those XML codes...

Confession Booth

A woman takes a lover home during the day, while her husband is at work. Unbeknownst to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet.
Her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy.

The little boy says, "Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes it is."
Boy- "I have a baseball."
Man- "That's nice."
Boy- "Want to buy it?"
Man- "No, thanks."
Boy- "My dad's outside."
Man- "OK, how much?"
Boy- "$250."

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together.

Boy- "Dark in here."
Man- "Yes, it is."
Boy- "I have a baseball glove."
The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"
Boy- "$750."
Man- "Fine."

A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball back and forth."
The boy says, "I can't. I sold them."
The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
The son says "$1,000."
The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that.
That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."
They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that sh*t again."

Hum Little Johnny-look carefully & visualize at the last picture

It was Friday morning, and that meant it was time for an activity that the teacher called 'add to the picture'. The teacher would 
call students to the chalkboard one at a time. The first student would draw an object on the chalkboard, and each following 
student would add something to the picture to make it a new picture. 

The teacher called on James to start things off. 



James returned to his seat. 
The teacher called on Ernie next. 



Ernie returned to his seat. 
Now it was Suzy's turn. 



Suzy returned to her seat. 
Next, the teacher called Jerry to the board. 



Jerry returned to his seat.Kim was called to the board. 



Kim returned to her seat. 

About this time, little Johnny began waving his arm hysterically. Little Johnny was well known for being off center, so the teacher was reluctant to call on him for anything. But as the teacher looked at the picture on the chalkboard, she thought that there was no way that little Johnny could possibly do anything to make this picture dirty. So she called on little Johnny, and he ran 
to the chalkboard.. 



The entire class erupted with laughter... the teacher fainted. 

Little Johnny had done it again.

a Lion, a Chimpanzee, a Giraffe, and a Squirrel , who pass by.

They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree.

I actually what the helled when i saw the answer of which i chose, Squirrel and when i read further down, i laughed...

What men need to provide

I don't think this is counted as a formal post but i've got this from non other than, Yahoo! I find this yet very interesting... :D

Here are the nine characteristics we've come up with:

Sense of Humor

Everyone says how important sense of humor is, and I have learned to look for it in women. I am lucky enough to be able to make women laugh, but I'm still super single. 

Trustworthy

Trust is the holy grail of a relationship. It takes years to build it, and it is so delicate. There are few things that take so long to attain that can be destroyed so quickly. So a lot of us may finally settle on a very trustworthy person when we finally find that. 

Kindness

This seems like a no-brainer, but I've seen plenty of girls stay with guys who don't treat them well. So, I'm thinking that most women look for a nice guy, but the fact of the matter is that mean guys seem to get girlfriends too-and at a better rate than nice guys.

Money

I admit it: I sometimes envision myself marrying rich and sitting there doing nothing. I could lie out on my wife's yacht and host lavish parties and hear about how crazy the Roaring 20's were, when my wife's friends were my age. Money is definitely high on a lot of people's list: remember when Anna Nicole Smith married that really old rich guy? I doubt it was because she thought he was hot, funny, or great in the sack.

Super Hot

As much as we hate to admit it, the first thing we notice about someone else is how good or bad they look. But one of the first lessons we learn in the dating world is as beautiful as someone is on the outside, they could be ugly on the inside.

Confident

Confidence is based on a lot of these characteristics. You are confident if you are talented, super hot, intelligent, or wealthy most likely. But confidence also enables you to treat people better, so you are kind and trustworthy as well. Because confidence includes so many of these other characteristic, it may just be the one major thing women look for in a man.

Talented & Passionate

When someone possesses a special skill, such as visual art or guitar virtuosity, they get tons of girls. People like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Tom Brady can go out with anyone they want because they are skilled. Heck, I'd go out with them. Usually skill occurs in tandem with passion, another attractive quality. When someone is really good at something, but not "hot," it makes sense that they can still attract a lot of women. It's less annoying to see someone like this in a relationship than it is to see a rich mean guy in a relationship.

Intelligent

I am intimidated by women who are more intelligent than I am (which explains why I'm intimidated by about(97% of the female population). For a lot of people, intelligence is sexy. When someone is stupid, it's frustrating and boring, which is enough to drive someone away.

Convenient

One can argue that convenience is a huge driver for a relationship. Does he live near you, is he "ready" to be in a relationship, does he want to have kids or not? Everything matches up correctly. Sure, he may not be the best-looking guy or have a lot of money, but it's just what you need and it's been a long, difficult search.

If we put these characteristics on a pie chart, what would get the biggest piece of the pie with you? Again, some of these characteristics occur together: intelligence and wealth, talent and passion, kindness and generosity, convenience and wealth. 

How often do women care about superficial things like money? It's scary, but sometimes I fear that no matter how funny I am, if I had lots of money I could date any cute girl I wanted. 

How do all of these characteristics shake out for you when choosing a boyfriend, and are there any you'd add to the list? Does confidence just take all of these characteristics into consideration?

Well, to me, it's true i guess... Convenient...so damn true... This is one of the thing i am facing right now...

Believes

What is this link about? Basically, it's about two new bibles written by i've got no idea who who actually sell it to the world like a blessed Mantra, al-Quran or whatever holy book it is...

*Warning: Contains Sensitive Topic*

Anyway, i find this ridiculous to actually include people like... Angelina Jolie, Mother Teresa and people like that in the book. What is the holiness of it?? It's like, you're including new stuff into old history like how the government of Malaysia alter the stories of Hang Tuah, Jebat and the others into Malay. FYI, Hang Tuah, Jebat and others are all CHINESE. This new bibles makes me realize one thing... I do believe in God(s) but definitely NOT RELIGION. Teachings yes, religion no. What do i mean by that? Well, teachings as in i learn stuff, the rights and wrongs from various religion....but to actually declare myself as a devotee or something like that in a religion, it is unlikely. I've never read the content of these two new bibles before but well, i just find it ridiculous to have new bibles.

One of the reason is that, it is written and preached by someone and that someone isnt really 'holy' isnt it? Like for example, al-Quran, Mantra, old bibles... Well, that is something but even those are not really holy. For one reason, it is written by humans based on what it is there to said by the urm...divine beings such as Buddha and Nabi s.a.w.

Here's something that really surprised me....

What Buddhism Scripture say about Muhammad?


The Buddha leader Gautama, has prophesized the coming of an inspired person. In the Gospel of Buddha by Caras (pp. 217-8) it is written that this great Buddha will come to the world known as the "Maitreya". The Cakkavatti-Sihanada Suttana gives him the name "Metteyya". Both these words mean "The Merciful One". By reference to the life-history of Muhammad (p.b.u.h.), it can be seen that he was indeed extremely merciful and the Al-Qur'an also refers to this fact.

There are further similarities, as the Buddhist Scripture reads: "His (Maitreya) disciples will number many thousands, while mine number many hundreds".

It is a known fact that with Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) were thousands followers. There are further similarities, which will be elucidated below.

In the Gospel of Buddha (by Carus - p214), an enlightened Buddah is described as having a very bright skin and that, a Buddha attains supreme insight at night time, he dies naturally at night, looks very bright before his death, and finally, after his death he ceases to exist on the earth. All these points can be applied to the holy prophet of Islam. (Read his life story).

In Si-Yu-Ki, Vol I, p.229, it is written that
"... no words can describe the personal beauty of Maitreya".

Again we leave it up to you to examine the history of Islam in detail; both muslims and nonmuslims are almost unanimous in asserting that Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) was very handsome and beautiful indeed.

Si-Yu-Ki Vol I. (p.229) further reads
"..the exquisite voice of the Bodhisattva (Maitreya) is soft and pure and refined; those who listen can never tire, those who hear are never satiated."

The Arabic language is remarkable for its beauty. Furthermore, the holy Qur'an is considered a work of the highest unique literary merit by friend and foe alike.

Buddhist Scriptures have defined further characteristics of Buddha. In order to qualify for the Maitreya, he must satisfy those conditions.

A Buddha must be a human being - not a diety.
A Buddha must have five special gifts, viz. The gift of treasure, the gift of child, the gift of wife, the gift of rule (i.e. leaderhip, headstatesman) and the gift of life and limb. In addition, the Buddha would be teacherless, i.e. without any form of formal education. Gautama has also stressed that the Buddha is simply a man, salvation depends only on an individuals deeds, the Buddha can only preach - he does not have the claim of being in part supernatural.

The characteristics above are all in accordance with the life of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.).

Another similarity which should be mentioned is that for every enlightened Buddha, there is a special "Bo-tree". Some modern commentators believe that the "Bo-tree" of the Maitreya is a tree with hard or heay wood. The prophet (p.b.u.h.) had a tree at Hodebbeyyaa, which was the place of an important treaty. The Qur'an gives the name "Shajar" to this tree (Surah 48:Verse 18). "Shejar" according to some scholars refer to any tree with a hard stem.

Again it is highly remarkable that such close similarity should exist.

Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya

Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76:

"There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe:

"What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds".


According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225:

"It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands."


According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources):

"Ananda said to the Blessed One, ‘Who shall teach us when thou art gone?'

And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.'

Ananda said, 'How shall we know him?'

The Blessed one replied, 'He will be known as Maitreya'."

The Sanskrit word ‘Maitreya’ or its equivalent in Pali ‘Metteyya’ means loving, compassionate, merciful and benevolent. It also means kindness and friendliness, sympathy, etc. One Arabic word which is equivalent to all these words is ‘Rahmat’. In Surah Al-Anbiya:

"We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures."
[Al-Qur’an 21:107]

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was called the merciful, which is ‘Maitri’.


The words Mercy and Merciful are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an no less than 409 times.


Every chapter of the Glorious Qur’an, except Chapter 9, i.e. Surah Taubah begins with the beautiful formula, 'Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim', which means 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful'.


The Word Muhammad is also spelt as ‘Mahamet’ or ‘Mahomet’ and in various other ways in different languages. The word ‘Maho’ or ‘Maha’ in Pali and Sanskrit mean Great and Illustrious and ‘Metta’ means mercy. Therefore ‘Mahomet’ means ‘Great Mercy’.

Buddha’s doctrine was Esoteric and Exoteric

According to Sacred Books of the East, volume 11, pg. 36 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta chapter 2 verse 32:

"I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine, for in respect of truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps something back".

Muhammad (pbuh) on the commandment of Almighty God delivered the message and doctrine without making any distinction between esoteric and exoteric. The Qur'an was recited in public in the days of the Prophet and is being done so till date. The Prophet had strictly forbidden the Muslims from hiding the doctrine


Devoted Servitors of the Buddhas

According to Sacred Books of the East volume 11 pg. 97 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta Chapter 5 verse 36:

"Then the Blessed one addressed the brethren, and said, ‘Whosoever, brethren have been Arahat-Buddhas through the long ages of the past, they were servitors just as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me. And whosoever brethren shall be the Arahat-Buddhas of the future, there shall be servitors as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me’."

The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life.

Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet’s life was in great danger.


Even during the battle of Honain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet.

Anas (R) can surely be compared with Ananda who stood by Gautam Buddha when the mad elephant approached him.

Six Criteria for Identifying Buddha

According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 214:

"The Blessed one said, ‘There are two occasions on which a Tathagata’s appearance becomes clear and exceedingly bright. In the night Ananda, in which a Tathagata attains to the supreme and perfect insight, and in the night in which he passes finally away in that ultra passing which leaves nothing whatever of his earthly existence to remain.’ "

According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha.

A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time.

On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright

A Buddha dies a natural death.

He dies at night-time.

He looks exceedingly bright before his death.

After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth.

Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time.

According to Surah Dukhan: "By the books that makes thing clear – We sent it down during a blessed night." [Al-Qur'an 44:2-3]

According to Surah Al-Qadar: "We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power." [Al-Qur'an 97:1]


Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light.

Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death.

According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp.

According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death.

After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth.

Buddhas are only Preachers

According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East vol 10 pg. 67:

"The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers."
The Qur’an says in Surah Ghashiya:
"Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs."
[Al-Qur'an 88:21-22]

Identification of Maitreya by Buddha

According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151:

"The promised one will be:

Compassionate for the whole creation

A messenger of peace, a peace-maker

The most successful in the world

The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be:

Truthful

Self-respecting

Gentle and noble

Not proud

As a king to creatures

An example to others in deeds and in words".

We tell her stories about our jobs and all. Yeah...she's a very dedicated mother and a good listener. NEVER EVER WHINE.

Of course she do scold and mumble from time to time but well, basically she just wanted the best out of us and of course from time to time, we whine and complains about her. Overall, she is a real perfect mother... She's just like the Mother Earth, Gaea... Well, not really cause mother is much better than Gaea :P

Anyway, whenever she's at grandma's...she'll talk...FOR HOURS!!! Yesterday, she told me...she went there at 1300 Hours and CHAT ALL THE WAY till night. WHAT THE HELL!!!
