and Globalization.



what a stunningly bitter aftertaste.

What seperates a medium from being used as an expression of anger and frustration to a completely different thing.

Seriously, as much as I respect your beliefs and needs.

I do not enjoy the thought of being blown up merely because I am not 100% on your side.
It just makes choosing the lesser between 2 "evils" alot more easier.


So while you're at it, feel free to shoot some school teachers along the way because they're not from the same region as you.

Have a nice day.

Critical Threshold

It maxed at around 42 degrees today.

I checked my laptop, normally if I pushed it with a night full of gaming, it'll be somewhere around 79degrees internally.


Today all I did was turn it on for 10 minutes and played Generals for a while.
Before I turned it off, I checked.

It was 90 degrees.
I blame the weather...



On the other hand, it will remain at 40+ for the whole week.
I pity those tennis players.




**Speaking of which I just realised Nadal is a leftie. Yay!

You know its Chinese New Year when...

Forecast for Wednesday
Sunny. Winds northwesterly averaging up to 35 km/h.


City Sunny. Min 21 Max 41

Maximum Fire Danger: Extreme
UV Alert from 9:40 am to 5:20 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 10 [Very High]
Even Mt Dandenong is like 36 degrees.



And just when I thought as a kid that Penang was hot during CNY.
Hehehe, looks like no fireworks over the next few days...

Makes me wonder how the tennis players are gonna play.

Mr Brightside

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullaby
Joking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside
(repeat)

I first heard it like back in 04. Thats when I was in Form 3. It was a pretty rough year for me, and so during that time I placed utmost priority on angry loud music ( Linkin Park in particular). It wasnt until the 2nd week of my holiday back in Malaysia where I decided to TV surf one late night instead of game whore on the laptop. Thats when I flicked to MTV and saw them playing the video for Mr Brightside.

Its pretty funnny how back in form 4 and 5, I knew this guy who absolutely worshipped The Killers. In his witty opinion he thought they were the best band (available at the time). Well I thought he was a nut. In my opinion, The Killers were at most just a decent band, but not something I'll run out and download their album the moment it comes out*

*For your information I havent done that to date.

The first time the band actually caught my attention was in the Winter of 07. When I was sad alone and cold for the first time in my life. For once I had an empty (and pretty dirty apartment) all to myself. Void of family (except for my mums annoying daily calls) and void of any form of intimacy (still am now).

Thats when I first hearing about the infamous Prosh Week. Oh yes, Prosh Week. I wont explain more since if you're reading this blog, you'd probably have heard about it from me. Anyway, so I visited their website on myspace.

And the only song that was listed and kept on playing on a reloop was

I mean, if you take the title literally, "When You were Young" and think about uni being your last time being a youth instead of a white/blue collar adult.

Anyway back to Mr Brightside. I watched the video on MTV and suddenly everything falls into place. It makes so much sense now, over the past 2 years.

This song probably earns my "Most Overlistened to Song on My Ipod".

*Partially also because I kinda like their style, though the current album hasnt impressed me too much.

A New Start

Tomorrow shall be my first kendo training for 2009.

After over a month of no training, I'm hoping I wont suck too badly.

Lets see if all that suburi training pays off :)

Word of the day...

不動心

Speaking of calculations

I suddenly remember my birthday last year.

I went for econs lecture, then spent the rest of the day in the library studying.

Somehow the memory of me doing integration strikes pretty soundingly.

So there you go, Year 2008 birthday spent alone and lonely (and sad) in the Bailleu :(
Should have bought myself a beer...


BUT NO FEAR!
This year it falls on a Wednesday...
Which means birthday kirikaeshi!

*training begins next week. Not as excited as last year, but relieved nevertheless.


**and yes, this is my first kendo related post in over a month (maybe 2). And definately the first for 2009

Jeffrey + Maths = Bad news to trees.

Thats right.

In my quest for crunching numbers, I have consumed a total of ...

141 pages of paper for calculations.

here's a few limitation + criteria + assumptions

1. I am only counting the pages that I used in my 2 spirax books.
2. Each page is A4 in size.
3. Seeing how I have the habit of squeezing lots of calculations into a single page, the true value of pages used for a different person could be up to x2 of what I used.
4. I use an approximation of 4 columns per page.
5. I am only considering calculus 1+2 calculations. Calculations from Econs, Engineering and Chemistry are not included.
6. I am assuming that ALL my calculations were done in my note books when in reality I used plent of A4 papers as well.
7. I assume non of my pages have gotten torn out of the book.

So far this year I have used : 4 pages.
Long way to go....

New Year Resolution

I want to be the biggest baddest evil capitalist out there.
So evil that all shall seem good compared to me.
