Fourty Thousands Days

I realise that I can be ridiculously busy at times, when I said I am busy, I mean it. I am not here to put up any complaints. In converse sometimes it feels great to be busy, doesn't it? I have always believed it when they say success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

Love music!! No matter how insane the day gets, music never seemed to fade away my distant reach. It is my yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I even cannot agree more when music is said to be the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing. When you desperately need silence, even the loudest music can provide you with the means better than those *rseh*le you don't wanna listen to or with thier unspoken blacked-faced body language.

No matter what sort of day you come through, it is just a day with a normal 24 hrs you would otherwise get through. If it is good it is wonderful if it isn't, it is experience. There is always tender new plant from wilted branches. .. always sunshine after rainy day... and always beautiful tomorrow when the window is inevitably shut today.

Take it or leave it, because no matter how seriously you want to take thing as you will not live more than fourty thousands days days in your very life. God is fair.....

One year = Three hundreds sixty five days

Ten years = Three thousands six hundreds firty days

One hundred years = Thirty six thousands five hundreds days

One hundreds and...........

Can you live more than 40,000 days? I doubt it.

o2 Mini

Produced by HTC. Functionally identical to Qtek S100, i-Mate JAM and T-mobile MDA compact. Other features? It has got almost everything a modern mobile phone 'should' have in general.

Don't get me wrong folks, I ain't here to promote 02 Mini pocket PC. I simply wanna show you how a 02 mini will look like when skinned. I might subconsciously refute the latter statement since 02 is the current sponsor of Arsenal lol. Having the chance of getting a hang of it for a few times, I come to the conclusion that it is indeed handy - functionality wise. In comparison, the outlook of Motorola A1000 seemingly looks, I would much prefer, classier.

A pocket pc that you can now get around A$899. Of course it is a phone that does much more than that, It facilitates, for what I think is important, Wording, Excelling, PowerPointing and outlooking. Though I am not convinced that the camera capped at 1.3 mega pixel. Click here for full features.

Coffee, Tea or Me?

Had a long long conversation with a close friend of mine over the phone from overseas tonight. Getting to know about this fella's bits and pieces could sometimes put me under many unprecedented influences. Tonight was counted towards one of those (extraordinary)... I was left speechless when he told me he proposed to his girlfriend about an engagement. Unsurprisingly, we got stuck on this subject for quite a number of minutes. We didn't stop.... well, not until he stunned, inspired me in a stricter sense, with a compelling advice after I asked "why do you prefer to be attached than single, or vice versa?"

"It is always better to be attached than single, the reason is being very simple...... When you are single you cannot be anything but being alone all the time but when you have a companion you still have the personal space to be 'single'"...... he claimed.

A simple thought that has left itself so inspirational and immortal .... and left me unable to agree more.

Polina's Birthday 2005

Hi folks, I was thinking this for quite a while and realise that I haven't actually posted anything with what I do here, the people I meet etc etc ........ so here's a brief compilation of Pol's Birthday, that correspoends to what I do or enoying doing, doesn't it? well, who cares?! so enjoy!!

Here comes the Bday girl. It has been some time since we have known each other Pol. With the time shared, it was never short of laughters and has always been wonderful having you around. I count myself as lucky having participated in two special ocassions of yours.

The trio - Run, Roon, & Ron. *faint* not even close. Though we are all anti-man utd, this nicely positioned shot may well be the photo of the night *another major doom* lol.

Here's Wanying (the gal padding my back) the other two will be introduced shortly. The two blokes? Need I say more?..... waste my time only lols.

This one is not about what wishes the Bday gal made nor is it how loud the bday song went it is about the bday cake. Readers, trust me.. it is huge, thick, cheesy, filling, yet yummy.. *puke* lol. I hope those who had really enjoyed it.

Bday gal gently slides through the thick n huge cake. Many say, If memory serves me well, that you shouldn't cut the cake right to the bottom where the coaster rests, because your wishes won't come true. Is that rite? Or is it your wishes don't come complete if the knife does not come out clean after sliding the cake through? which one is it?----?

What do you do if you can't finish a giant slice of Bday cake? Get it messed up on your mate's face! This shot could have been the photo of the night where I stuck a piece of cake on Dixon's nose - cameraman reacted slowly.

A more intimate nexus. Chong looks like he is the boyfriend of Bday gal where he is sitting so close, he is somehow then flanked by me n' Dixon. So the beauties go from the left - Fina, Toto, Pol, Hannah, Sandy, & Elen.


The big group of course.... So there you are, Happy Birthday Polina 2005!!!

Before

Crystal clear blue skies.......

After

On 12/August/2005, I was at work and made known of a shocking news on my 3 mobile - Malaysia Declared State of Emergency. Being in great tensity of haze, the financial capital, Kulau Lumpur was 'swallowed' by a level of more than 400 and with main harbour in Port Klang was peaked at more than 500!! (well, if memory serves me well). Next day, The West Australian newspaper reported.........."Malaysian anger at the haze from forest fires boiled over yesterday as opposition activists demonstrated nosily outside the Indonesian embassy, they demanded compensation for the choking smog from Indonesian forest clearances which has forced schools to close, disrupted transport and caused breathing problem......" Complaints go on....

It has occured to question that who is to blame with this incidence since worst haze crisis previously in the region was in 1997-98, and was also caused by Indonesian forest fires? Should it be proposed to stop pointing fingers at each other? Digging out and tackling where the problem lies seems to be the only radical solution now - putting off the flame.

Interesting enough, according to an Internet source on Tuesday August 16, 9:54 AM

"Indonesia will prosecute 10 companies - EIGHT OF THEM MALAYSIAN - for illegally lighting fires on Sumatra Island that have enveloped much of Malaysia with smoke". For full story, Click Here

Human organs, scarcities, and sale: morality revisited

Read a tiny journal of medical ethics today and thought it has got to do with an article I posted early - titled The Island.

"Despite stringent and fine tuned laws most jurisdictions are not able to curb organ trafficking. Nor are they able to provide organs to the needy. There are reports of the kidnapping and murder of children and adults to "harvest" their organs. Millions of people are suffering, not because the organs are not available but because "morality" does not allow them to have access to the organs. Arguments against organ sale are grounded in two broad considerations: (1) sale is contrary to human dignity, and (2) sale violates equity. Both these objections are examined in this article and it is concluded that they reflect a state of moral paternalism rather than pragmatism. It is argued that a live human body constitutes a vital source of supply of organs and tissues and that the possibilities of its optimum utilisation should be explored. Commercialisation should be curbed not by depriving a needy person of his genuine requirements but by making the enforcement agencies efficient"

An Insider's Perspective

There have been lots of talks about Arsenal, supporters or anti-Arsenal crowd. In respects to new season just getting underway in days, how should this once-before-unbeatable team be described as in a modern day today? As they are waving goodbyes to Highbury and entering into a new stadium in 2006/07 season, a trophyless term is nearly unthinkable. With the sore departure of our captain to Juve - Patrick Vieira, critics have been raised as to fractionally if not radically re-building the squad. This may be argued that Arsene Wenger should and/or could have done more to additions to squad than he did. By far, Arsenal have only added one major signing - a Belarusian Aleksander Hleb from VFB Stuttgart.

After seeing the Community Shield as a defeat to Chelsea, our new boy no. 13, who is far from being afraid of the giant Chelsea tight defense, looked to be an influential figure on the pitch. His run and control of the ball was simply incredible. This is also to put up that Arsenal have brought on a great performance against Chelsea though result did not matter, well... at least in a personal perspectives. There were lots of positive elements should be enjoyed. Arsenal were still very much up to a branch of attacking football, simply terrorizing Chelsea defense on many occasions with speedy run, classy touches, and flowing passing. What did worry me was the Gunners defense that was awful at times, looking far from assured. Speaking to rebuilding the squad, I strongly reckon this area is where Arsene Wenger should be scratching his head on. On the field further up, Wenger may have been credited for cashing in the proceeds from the sales of Patrick Vieira, who was still very much marketable. Center midfield should look well equipped with the likes of Gilberto Flamini, Fabrecas, and Hleb. Latter is versatile to supplement both flanks while Fabrecas has also shown proficiency on the right. These flexibilities should be enjoyed if Pires and/ or Ljungberg were short. Mind you, Reyes could also fill up Pires� preferred position.

Our available strikers may, though I am not convinced at times, be just right under required consideration. Henry is always a certain no. 14 in the team if he stays suspension and injury free. Bergkamp seems far from being able to play at a consistently high level; the non-flying Dutchman further curtails striking options when it comes to European competitions. Much responsibility is inevitable to be resting on Henry, Reyes, and van Persie, the latter two are contingent upon the situation that Reyes is not dropped deep and Persie is to be pleaded not guilty with sexual charges in Holland.


What exacerbates, I would suggest, situation could be the transfer of a captain armband to our no. 14, who has far greater responsibility to bear on the field. To some extent, having given more workloads to Henry may just make him lose focus on his stunning performance again. Ultimately, I hope Wenger would give a chance to Quincy who wonderfully shined in World Cup Youth competition last months.

To me, Arsene looks short of having 'plan B' and is saving up betting chips that is equivalent to putting all eggs in one bucket again this season.

Life is a Zero-sum Game

There are two types of people in this world, first being those who come with a quality of self-centered characteristic. This clique of people is strong, determined, and always in the right state of mind to be in control. Another group is those who were born with a blank piece of sheet, not giving a d*mn what goes around and blindly let the first group to fill up the sheet.

Message of da Bottle

"If you listen just a little closer
and if you would stay just a moment longer.
You might be able to hear these drops of regret
fall into the bucket
And you might be able to see these drops of sorry"
filling up the bottle
But if I bring you just a little closer
and if I could hold you just a moment longer
I might be able to take back those drops of regret
and empty that bucket
And I might be able to soak up those drops of sweet "sorry"
and break open that bottle
We made this fairy tale into a very short story
You deserved a much better ending
and for this.....
I am very very sorry..…
I knew the easiest thing for you is to forgive me for what I have done.
The hardest thing is for you to forget what I did...
Regardless of how many "sorry" I have....
did you know what, babe.....
When you can't forget is just another way of saying you can't forgive?"

The Island

The Island.... you're going to the island, transported to the world's last paradise, yes, you have been chosen. Lincoln Six-Echo, one of many flawfree-made inhabitants that dwell in a carefully controlled, if not perfectly designed, environment. Like all of his peers, he hopes to be chosen, by means of lottery, to go to the world's last paradise - the uncontaminated island. But he unsteadily questions every single existent in his very own dwelling place, only to discover that he was, like all of his peers, made to provide possible damage of his 'origin'......

A scientific movie that shows to be contentious, having been directed by Michael Bay and starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. For those who have seen the firm, did anyone of you question the core issues of the firm? What if, which are likely, human clones are to happen? Where does the moral lie? The equation of this issue cannot be less than politics, religions, sciences, and atheists etc.... any mankind you can think of to date.

Is it 'legitimate' to clone humans and later on transplant the required parts of the body to its counterpart? Answering this question, there are further considerations to be taken into account. Let's assume there is a God, a set of principles is held in faith so that we are made to believe that our creator is God but no one else. Cloning human beings is anything but sin where one goes beyond God's plan. It is even more controversial when a scientist 'harvests' a cloned being where s/he literally commits 'murdering'. An atheist may just not disagree more....

What if there is no God and we are only abandoned kinds? Does it feel 'ok' when a scientist 'makes' and then kills off a being to save a baby with tumour? Or let the infant cease to live and replace the cloned one....... one another? No easy answer. An ideal situation could be to 'creating' the counterpart if and only if needed, by approach to imprinting no memory to the human clone... basically, gives them no chance to live. Make and harvest. It is probably one of the disturbing scenes that many would go against the idea of human cloning. That is, creating a bunch of literally human beings who eat, sleep, game, and socialize etc.... then you take back their lives for the purpose of others'. But again, there will be no 'them', absolutely nothing had it not been their creator - scientist. Is it just a matter of the timing as to when to kill off the being or should there be no human cloning altogether? Think carefully for those who stick with the latter.

It gets pretty familiar to the daily news now, what is the difference when one aborts and puts a baby's life to an end just after giving birth? Former is legal while the latter isn't..... a matter of when again?

We will find out what is going to happen about human cloning for the coming generation.... no matter what, it does not seem to be under our power to get the final say.

When I Miss U

I miss you deeply, but I am without you and have yet to get you back in my arms. Yet I know I need to surppress my feelings and to put off the burning flame in my heart. When I master the routine of thinking about you being just a mere habit, it is where I die inside.... I will then let you fly free without feeling the pain my soul could bear.... but again, that makes me miss you even more.
