Feeling

Feeling - composed by Pink

feeling so sad
everything is crumbling
for the heart i once had
is no longer beating

feeling frustrated
lost the will power
every step feels stranded
never felt any lower

feeling down
the feeling that nobody wants.
world is moving without me
presence not felt by anyone

feeling stressed
head is under so much pressure
shoulder often stretched
but still feel tired as ever

feeling demotivated
positive energy all gone
where is the old me
the one that stood up for everyone?



everything beside me is moving for better things, but here i am, still running around in circles, not going anywhere. when can i get away from this rat race, when can i have my breakthrough? when, can i move on....?

                               EXPLANATION

You can choose for yourself whether you want a boy or a girl by following the chart. The woman's age from 18 to 45 (Chinese reckoning) is on the top line while the months 1 to 12 indicate the month when the baby is conceived. By following the chart you will be able to tell in advance whether your baby will be a boy or a girl. Thus, you can plan to have a boy or a girl. This chart has been taken from a Royal tomb near Peking, China. The original copy is kept in the Institute of Science of Peking. The accuracy of the chart has been proved by thousands of People and is believed to be 99 percent accurate. By reckoning, you follow a line drawn from the figure representing the woman's age to a line drawn from the month the baby is conceived. For instance, if the woman is 27 years old and her baby is conceived in January (according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar), then her baby will be a girl. The chart is based on the month the baby is conceived and not on the birth of the baby, B-Male, G-Female. Remarks: A Chinese Scientist discovered and drew this chart which was buried in a Royal tomb about 700 years ago.

May 13 - What is that?

Above is a response from a college kid, when asked by a Malaysia's insider reporter, 40 years after the awful incident. I, as one of the million 80's babies will not be too familiar with what happened, but words coming from our parents and generation before them sort of give us the chill to the bone, hoping that it will not happen again. (see it here)

Our history books from Sasbadi and Preston didn't really write about the incident, and i wonder why. Aren't history books suppose to tell us what REALLY happended, so that we can all together avoid such tragedy from happening again?

Well, apparently, maybe not so. Maybe because it's not in our books, our youths nowadays don't have that fear, or hatred in them. They live together as one, one nation. There's no such thing as racial tension for them. They would exchange their mother tounge with one another. Whenever they mention the word 'babi', they REALLY ARE refering to that cute animal.

Received a call from my grandmother last night, telling me to stay away from KL today, saying it's May13, and there will be riot or some sort. You know how old ppl can be so naggy, they will not let you off the phone until you said ok. You can't really blame. Poeple of our generation will never understand the hardship they've gone thru when the real May 13 happended.

Going back to my granny's warning, well, as of now, after hours of monitoring the news online, all i read about is the Perak political crisis.. BORING... So you see, the nation don't really care about this racial tension anymore. especially when you see the chinese community are also supporting PAS. Not because of their practise and believe, but as a stand to protest the governing party to stop their nonsense and do their work.

So tell me, what is May13 today? Racial tension or political tension?

KJ the CBK

KJ (the oxford reject)


Acronyms can be funny sometimes.. especially when ppl misrepresent it.. What comes into your mind when you see the car number place CBK or WPK? haha!

But we use acronym almost everyday, whether you like it or not. MSN, YM, DAP, PAS, UKM, UM, MU, LFC... (macam-macam ada) They even use acronyms in the parliment, but it all end up quite..... chaotic.

KJ was in the Parliment the other day and he was talking about some issue over the consumption on chicken and pork. Then, out of nowhere, this dumb ass mention the phrase Projek Khinzir Raksasa (Giant Pig Project) and apply the acronym PKR**. This of course started the crossfire over the floor and everyone demanded KJ to retract his words. But of course, KJ the bafoon didn't budge. A PKR MP from Kedah then put up the rules book and protest the use of indecent word in the house. Pandikar Amin didn't give a shit.

During the fight, we can observe that, not only that PKR give up a good verbal fight, but DAP joint in and so did PAS.

Now here comes the funny part.

Someone from behind then said, if there's a Projek Khinzir Raksasa, then what happend to the Projek Babi Negara (National Pig Project)? And what's the acronym for that? PBN! That guy can think damn fast.. haha...

Guess what...? The phrase set fire to the other side of the hall, where all the members of the rulling party (Party Barisan National) ruptured! Most of the bumiputera MPs were shouting "tarik balik" (retract).. and KJ was shouting like a baboon, while the Chinese reps from PBN sat down and watched the entire show.

Classic scene.. no? See the video below!

An article from the local dailies today:

Pak Lah: Final mission to cool racial tensions

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime MInister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sees his final mission before leaving office is to cool racial and religious tensions in the country.

Abdullah told The Associated Press that a shrinking economy and deepening divisions between the different communities are the biggest threats facing the country.

“Since I am retiring earlier than I was planning to, (the reforms) have to be done very quickly,” said Abdul- lah.

“I am thinking of how to handle the issue of race relations, and the issue of religious tensions because of so many things that are happening,” he added.

Abdullah suggested that he could establish an institution “where all communities” can take their grievances.

----------------------------------------------------------

Pure BULLOCKS...

How retarded can you be? What racial issue? Do you see racial issue when Chinese communities are voting for PAS? I don't think so.

Let's look at the greater picture: who is raising the racial issues?

Example #1:

Who kissed the 'keris' while having their legal assembly? And who shouted: don't mess with 'M*lays'? What happened to the word 'Bumiputera'?

Example #2:

Who suggested to scrap vernacular school? Why don't you scrap the U-party? It would be if it's not for Dr.M.

Example #3:

Who insisted that in order to preserve the racial harmony, the country have to emphasize on special rights of the bumis? Why not use the word 'M*lays' now?

Example #4:

Who deliberately made false accusation of a Chinese YB, saying that the prayers from a mosque was too noisy? And in the end, the Imams from the mosque stood up and claim that there's was no report made against them? (I hope this currupted former-CM will get the 3mil fine)

Example #5:

Who abused the local media (TV and newspapers) to install hatred among races? What about the reported special TV-programs on TV1? Who made used of the papers to throw the allegations at one of our local MP?

Example #6:

It seems like a different picture shown by the opposition when they encourage ppl to join DAP or PAS regardless of their skin color or religion. DAP is inviting everyone on facebook to join their dinner. Not a lavish one, but I am touched by the efforts of these big-hearted people. This is what the rakyat believes now. I've personally attended a talk organised by PAS near my place and everyone was so friendly. All smiles. I don't think I will get this kind of reception if I attend an U-party talk.

Racial integration is showing its signs of gel-ing. We do not need anyone to remind us of our differences. The country don't need this. Lead by example, this is what the opposition is trying to show us. And they are also sending out a message that a new dawn is coming. A whole new level of 'MALAYSIA' will be introduced where everyone is happy and then.... we will not question the rights of the BUMIPUTERAS.

Kaminsky attack?

How to become a orang kaya within a day.....? like this poor uncle...

He is not too happy, is he?

His bank account was hacked and minutes later, all money gone.. left MYR1000. pity him la, sole breadwinner, son studying in local uni.. and on top of all that, the thief even got guts to use RM500 to top up his prepaid card. Frantically asking the bank to stop all transaction, the banker even saw the money disappearing right under her nose.

This news triggers my interest on internet security. how safe are we?

let me introduce you to this guy.... Dan Kaminsky...

he broke the internet..

with simple codings, he managed manipulate the internet. Started of by hacking into starbucks pay-per-use internet access, he then discovered the same method he use for being a kiasu, he discovered a loop within the internet.

He could have taken control of all the bank accounts online, routings email to whereever he liked. but nooooo...... he went to the correct source and worked with the DNS team to fix it.

I know I might not be as noble as him, but to think about taking control of the millions of accounts online just excites me... I should have studied harder for my IT degree..

so, is this old uncle being hacked? no la... i think his son got hold of his ATM card. hahaha.....

Fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang

With the recent rumors saying that somebody might ban Yoga, there were many unrest. Somebody I personally know, depends on Yoga to keep their mind and body alive. Follow up from their last stupid ban, they said that shaving your head bald is also a sin. (click to related articles), what's next????

What's next? My friend forwarded me a forecast, what they will announce in the next few months... enjoy.....




Fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang - Please read

Makin hari umat Islam makin ditindas dan dikongkong. Bukan oleh orang Cina, atau orang India atau orang Yahudi atau orang Kristian. Tetapi dianiya dan dikongkong oleh orang Islam/Melayu sendiri. Please read on.

Selepas fatwa pengharaman yoga, fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang adalah seperti berikut :

Disember 2008
Orang Islam dilarang mandi di kolam renang awam. Di kolam renang awam, akan terdapat orang-orang yang bukan Islam yang memakai pakaian renang yang singkat dan mendedahkan aurat (terutamanya amoi-amoi china yang cun dan seksi). Ini boleh menjejaskan akidah orang Islam. Cara yang paling baik ialah kita haramkan orang Islam dari kolam renang awam.

Januari 2009
Orang Islam dilarang pergi ke Pulau Pinang. Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang adalah seorang yang bukan Islam and majoriti penduduk Pulau Pinang adalah orang yang bukan Islam. Apabila seorang Islam berada di Pulau Pinang, beliau mungkin terhidu bau char keoy tiaw yang dimasak oleh orang bukan Islam dan ini boleh merosakkan akidah kita. Cara yang paling baik ialah kita haramkan orang Islam dari pergi ke Pulau Pinang. Orang Islam yang kini tinggal di Pulau Pinang akan diberi elaun pindah sebanyak RM 3000 untuk membantu mereka berpindah ke negeri-negeri yang lain. Perpindahan ke negeri Kelantan dan Terengganu amat amat digalakkan.

Februari 2009
Orang Islam dilarang meminum root beer. Walaupun root beer tidak mengandungi alkohol, namun perkataan "beer" ini boleh menimbulkan keghairan dan kelakuan tidak senonoh di kalangan orang Islam. Dengan pengharaman root beer, orang Islam bolehlah meminum minuman ringan yang lain tanpa was-was. Ginger beer juga diharamkan.

March 2009
Orang Islam dilarang memakan di kedai Mamak. Walaupun mamak kebanyakkannya Islam, tetapi asal usul mereka adalah India dan ada kemungkinan terdapat unsur-unsur India di dalam perniagaan mereka seperti bercakap Tamil dan memakai seluar dalam buatan India. Untuk mengelakkan sebarang syak wasangka, mulai 1 Mac 2009, orang Islam dilarang dari memakan di kedai mamak (kecuali Tun Mahatir kerana dia sendiri mamak kelas I)

April 2009
Orang Islam dilarang bermain ping pong atau table tennis. Ping pong berasal dari negeri China dan oleh yang demikian, mungkin terdapat unsur-unsur agama Buddha atau Confuciusism di dalam permainan ping pong. Orang Islam yang terlalu banyak bermain ping pong akan terjejas akidah mereka. Sebagai permainan alternatif, orang Islam digalakkan bermain sepak raga (tetapi bola raga mesti buatan Malaysia, bukan dari Thailand).

Mei 2009
Orang Islam yang berkerja dengan kerajaan dilarang mengambil gaji masing-masing. Ini kerana sebahagian besar pendapatan kerajaan adalah cukai pendapatan yang dibayar oleh syarikat-syarikat orang bukan Islam. Orang Islam digalakkan meminta sedekah dari orang Islam yang lain. Untuk memudahkan permintaan sedekah, bakal peminta sedekah digalakkan mencangkung di hadapan bangunan UMNO.

Jun 2009
Orang Islam dilarang keluar negara. Terdapat terlalu banyak godaan yang boleh meruntuhkan akhlak dan akidah orang Islam. Perkara ini telahpun dikaji dengan teliti hasil lawatan sambil belajar ke Bangkok oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan baru-baru ini. Oleh yang demikian, orang orang Islam diminta menyerahkan balik paspot masing-masing ke jabatan immigresen secepat mungkin. Perjalanan keluar negara hanya dibenarkan untuk menteri-menteri dan orang kuat UMNO sahaja, itupun hanya jika diiringi oleh ahli Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan.

Julai 2009
Orang Islam dilarang berfikir di waktu siang. Kebanyakkan masalah jenayah dan maksiat wujud kerana orang-orang yang tak ada kerja berfikir yang bukan-bukan. Untuk membenteras maslah jeneyah dan maksiat, orang-orang Islam mulai 1 Julai 2009, dilarang dari menggunakan otak mereka diwaktu siang. Pemikiran mereka akan dipantau oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan dengan menggunakan sekumpulan specially trained monkeys. Orang Islam boleh menggunakan otak mereka di waktu malam tetapi pemikiran dihadkan kepada perkara-perkara berkaitan dengan makan dan minum sahaja.

==========================================================

Please do not laugh. Many of the above will become a reality if we do not do anything. The rational-thinking muslims in this country are simply not doing anything. We let a very small minority of narrow-minded idiots to control our lives. We, especially the Malay muslims, are fast becoming a laughing stock worldwide. We are obsessed with the little little things.

When there are so many important things remain to be done, why must the Fatwa folks spend their time on little things.. tomboys, yoga, etc, etc. Why don't we ever hear anything from the Fatwa folks for social justice, eradicating corruption and poverty, protecting single mothers, helping the poors, educating the ummah, protecting the environment or ensuring fairness in society.

If you are a rationale, forward thinking muslim, please speak up. If you choose to remain silent, it only means that you agree with whatever is happening. And do not blame the non-muslims for all our troubles. We are asking for it.

Internet on a map!

If I have a map of the internet, what will it look like?

do they have continents?

do they have different landscape?

what about the north/south poles?

All these question was never really on my mind, and actually, we can't even imagine if there's anyone on earth who can map the internet.. (well, that's what they said about Chris Columbus few decades back...)



Here, I present to you, the MAP...

English: Partial map of the Internet based on the January 15, 2005 data found on opte.org. Each line is drawn between two nodes, representing two IP addresses. The length of the lines are indicative of the delay between those two nodes. This graph represents less than 30% of the Class C networks reachable by the data collection program in early 2005. Lines are color-coded according to their corresponding RFC 1918 allocation as follows:

• Dark blue: net, ca, us
• Green: com, org
• Red: mil, gov, edu
• Yellow: jp, cn, tw, au, de
• Magenta: uk, it, pl, fr
• Gold: br, kr, nl
• White: unknown

We are merely an address on the map... and it's not static some more...

Woman jailed after 'killing' virtual husband

By MARI YAMAGUCHI,Associated Press Writer AP - 22 minutes ago

TOKYO - A 43-year-old player in a virtual game world became so angry about her sudden divorce from her online husband that she logged on with his password and killed his digital persona, police said.

The woman, who has been jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, used his ID and password to log onto the popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in May, a police official in the northern city of Sapporo said Thursday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of department policy.

"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.

The woman, a piano teacher, had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.

She has not yet been formally charged. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison or a fine up to US$5,000.

Players in "Maple Story" create and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting monsters and other obstacles.

In virtual worlds, players often abandon their inhibitions, engaging in activity online that they would never do in the real world. For instance, sex with strangers is a common activity.

The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married to kill the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his online avatar was dead.

The woman was arrested Wednesday and taken 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from her home in southern Miyazaki to be detained in Sapporo, where the man lives, the official said.

The police official said he did not know if she was married in the real world.

Bad online behavior is usually handled within the rules set up by online worlds, which can ban miscreants or take away their virtual possessions.

In recent years, misbehavior in the virtual world has in some cases had consequences in reality.

In August, a woman was charged in the U.S. state of Delaware with plotting the real-life abduction of a boyfriend she met through the virtual reality Web site "Second Life."

In Tokyo, a 16-year-old boy was charged with stealing the ID and password from a fellow player of an online game in order to swindle virtual currency worth US$360,000.

What Pink Means

You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

It was a day to remember...

Their Wedding shoot.

At the famous 100-year-old Church of the Annunciation in Pengzhou, China. Pengzhou is located in the Sichuan province. It was morning May 12, 2008.

Very early morning May 12, photographer Wang went about preparing to shoot wedding pictures for a young couple, this was the test shot before the shoot...



And then it happened.... the earth quake! 7.8 on the Richter scale.

Bricks fall from the building during the earthquake, which turned Wang from a wedding photographer into a journalist..


'Thank God we were only shooting from outside the church!' remarked a helper.



The stunned couple huddles together at the church ground during initial tremors.



'I shouted to people, 'Run! Run!'' said photographer Wang Qiang. 'The ground shook and we couldn't see anything in the dust.'

As the dust began to clear, the true extent of damage was only beginning to appear...


A scarf from a wedding dress lies forgotten in front of the seminary.

Wang said he thought the catastrophe would strengthen the bonds of the couples who were there that day: 'Having gone through a life-and-death test, they surely will clasp hands and grow old together.'


No one was harmed at the above location.


They'll sure have a Wild story to tell there Children!

'Pumping' Tips

Petrol la.... not anything else.

Tips on Filling your Vehicles...

This is a Message received from a friend:


I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... but here in Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every litre.

Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS
STILL COLD.

Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground,
the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your litre is not exactly a litre.

In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and
other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business.
But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.

If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that arecreated, while you are pumping.
All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour.

Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof.

This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.

Money Tok

Got this from some SPAM mails in my office. It's all about the money talk nowadays after the petrol price increased.

Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia ????

It's absolutely true and is quite entertaining too
________________________________________________________________________

Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income is RM3,000 /month (where father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM3,000, but, to make things simple, let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)

Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100

Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)

Papa takes / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155
(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)

Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)

Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300 (go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running) &nb sp;

Insurance: RM650 (kids, wife and myself)

House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition: RM80
(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)

Older children pocket money @ school: RM20
(RM1/day, eat bread?)

School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)

School book s and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder: RM50
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, and all the HA :) expensive)

Miscellaneous:
RM100 > > (shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no online,
cannot KFC,
cannot McDonald,
cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive), no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Aiyoh! RM3,610 already...

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?

How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study by ownself ?...

Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!!

What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should be Malaysians Boleh, because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!
