An idea for Remi

Remi should make a video of him calling some pizza man and when the pizza man arrive, the door will be opened by some weird randoms in awkward situations (like the disco dude or something)

Msn convo

Mandy says:
 MICKEY.
 how was your chemistry
 and in response to your 20c coin text, so what i found a super awesome POKEMON CARD
 just joking, it was a stupid pigeon pokemon with growl as a move
woomzoomboom says:
 LOL
 i did soooo bad in the testtttt
 but i feel so happy
Mandy says:
 hahah what the hell?
 why are you happy? because youre 20c richer?
 or because all the stress is gone
woomzoomboom says:
 lol, both
 i'm so happy right now i think i will give the 20c to my dad
 LOL
 im willing to give to anyone lol
 except my sis
Mandy says:
 haahahhaah
 can you give it to me?
 plus interest
woomzoomboom says:
 ...
Mandy says:
 ...
 ill eat you
 i wont give you the secret to immortality
woomzoomboom says:
 lol
 do you have it yet?
 lol
Mandy says:
 maybe, maybe not
woomzoomboom says:
 cool! that's such a great bargain!
 20c to the secret of immortality
 YAYY
 hahahha
Mandy says:
 plus interest
 ... of 2 00000000000000000000000000000000% pa
 and by p.a. i mean per day
 ... compound interest
 per day for the rest of your life
 (which means forever since youll be immorta)
 immortal, but poor
woomzoomboom says:
 nah...
 tbh, im not really interested in immortality
 although i like to see how it works and it sounds pretty cool, i wouldn't apply it to me
Mandy says:
 what? why not?
 if you discover it you could be like a billion billionaire
 and you can enjoy that money forever
woomzoomboom says:
 coz..
 if you are immortal, you might get sick of life (although you can enjoy all the things in the world!) (evetually get sick of life)
 and might be you've seen so much that nothing surprise yu anymore
 and what if you have no one to stay immortal with?
 u be so lonely
 and if everyone is immortal, then there's no variation and growth and change in human beings
 no evolution
 you can have all the time to get to know every single person in the world
 and what if a bad guy gets immortality
 and it might creates more inequality and unjustice
 or injustice?
 coz some ppl pay to get that and some can't afford
 and ppl who paid for it might be assholes as well
Mandy says:
 and if we're immortal, we have the time to like build up our knowledge to create a space shuttle to a far away planet and survive. to be away from the assholes
 and we'll take all the cool people with us
 and then we will bomb earth to kill off all the stupid evil people
 and if people breed stupid evil people on the new planet, we can just move to another far away planet again
 or we could just alter the dna of people before they are born so that they wont be stupid or evil
 and we can create the ultimate society
 by altering peoples dna
 and if something goes wrong, ill blast them into the sun
woomzoomboom says:
  lol, but who's cool and who's assholes? what's good and evil? even good ppl can change to be evil, it's just unrealistic, and lol, assume yes, but to be "away from the assholes" doesn't really work coz assholes always find a way to smuggle in.
 LOL 'bomb earth to kill off the stupid evil ppl" that makes you another evil person
Mandy says:
 bahahah, but i will be the god of the new planet. therefore i am allowed to kill people and decide who are the assholes and who are not.
 it may make me sound like a tyrannical leader, but im not
 ... in a way
woomzoomboom says:
 LOOL
 HAHA
 u've just created a dystopian society
 which is a utopian society, that you started with a good intention and turns out with flaws
Mandy says:
 you and your bloody extension english
 thats it, im blasting you off into the sun
woomzoomboom says:
 coz if you kill ppl you choose, and condition the dna, you are removing ppl's individuality
 LOL
Mandy says:
 and then i will create a language called newspeak so that your thoughts will not exist in the new planet
woomzoomboom says:
 HAHAHA
 lol
Mandy says:
 okay fine, i will limit my discovery of immortality only to myself and one other person
 not you, because you dumped all over my society
 and bashed me over the head with your extension english
 and did not embrace my dream of being a tyrannical leader
 i just realised that youre doing all the stereotypical asian subjects
woomzoomboom says:
 LOL
 awww, randy, i would love to be a tyrannical leader and dream about immortality coolness!~
 maybe it's just the english that's getting into me
 oh yeah, i do
 but i choose them coz i like them
 glad parents aren't telling me what to do
 coz i have this thinking that whatever they say, i do the opposite
 like when grandpa wanted me to be doctor
 i kinda stop wanting to be one
 i dont know what's wrong with me, but when they say they want me to do that, i stopped
Mandy says:
 haha what the hell
 actually i feel that too sometimes with my dad
 but i was brainwashed into wanting to be a doctor since i was like 4
 i initially wanted to be an artist
woomzoomboom says:
 reallyyy???
 i know!
 you can be a doctor artist!
 LOL
 aw, i just had some satistic ideas, like using human body as canvas/artwork
 we learnt that in art
 some lady asked to have plastic surgery and use her face as a canvas, she made her have horns
 trying to look like mona lisa  i think
Mandy says:
 WOAH what?
 wait, mona lisa has horns?
woomzoomboom says:
 no
 lol, like mona lisa's forehead is very recognisable
 and she had those thing out of her forehead that looks like mona lisa's forehead
 and look like 'horns
Mandy says:
 ohh.
 but still, thats craaaaazy
 why would you do that to yourself
 just for art?
woomzoomboom says:
 oh
 and part of her artwork is the actually video of her surgery
 filming how they cut her face
 everyone looked away lol
Mandy says:
 ewwwww.
 why would anyone do that
 you better not do that since you do art
woomzoomboom says:
 lool
 i would never do that
Mandy says:
 thats what you say now. and then next thing you know
 youre binge drinking and then i encourage you to do it
 and then you wake up after being concussed with horns on your face
woomzoomboom says:
 lol,
 you prob encourage me to have a picachui face
 or some cartoon character from ABC
 hahahah
Mandy says:
 hahha no way, thats not fun enough. i would make you have like lisas face or jennys face so then you can rob a bank and blame it on them
woomzoomboom says:
 LOLOL
Mandy says:
 (by then, i would have fed you more beer and changed your face again to hide the evidence)
woomzoomboom says:
 you will make such an evil genius
Mandy says:
 hahahahhaha
 i get that alot
 and you can be my minion
octopuuuus says:
 no!
Mandy says:
 why not? together we can rule the world
octopuuuus says:

Mandy says:

Well randy, let see how long you will find the blog! (though i reckon it will be soon)

Are ‘good’ teachers facing extinction? Is tutoring institution jeopardising them?

The last time I hear a complain is about a science high school teacher who filmed himself doing an experiment, sat back and played the video in class for the students. 

And then there's those who teach beyond the syllabus, skipping the basic elemental, leaving students scratching their heads like monkeys.

There's also the one who taught something and the next day said oops, forget what i said yesterday, it was wrong. Here's what it actually is. And the next day would come back again saying: forget what i said yesterday, it was a mistake. What is actually correct is...

Oh, and the one who is corrected by a student for his mistake on the whiteboard.

Out of all the teachers, it is 1 in 5 who are committed, enthusiastic and capable of teaching students. What happened to the 4 in 5???!

Why? The teachers might say because everyone has tutoring and feel they are not needed anymore. They think students can do well on their own anyway.

On the other hand, students or parents might say they are going tutoring because their teachers can't teach effectively.

Having a boring teacher can really affect the students. It is said that interest comes within you. But having a boring history teacher can really make you hate history lessons. Think about it, it is true.

However, it is partially true that interest comes within you. If you like what you are doing, you wouldn't mind who is teaching you.

Just a thing to think about

Runescape 'crush'

It's been years and I never get sick of laughing at it. Remember in primary we used to play runescape? Well everytime I make an account on net, I always fake my id details. My runescape character is a dude, short decent hair cut, cool rune armour, red cape, giant spiky shield and a scimitar. Then one day a chick lvl 11 came up to me and said "you're hot" and started following me. Hahahahaha. I'm not going to say what's her name, nor my runescape name (though it's pretty awesome). Lol, i think she said something about going out on a date, and assuming I'm as cute and hot in real life. Kekeke. Yeah, I played along with it, but of course, I didn't went that far as giving her my msn or email. Oh, btw, the dude I met and used to do quest with me, I think you were a bit younger than me, but yeah, you were cool and nice. I guess you don't play RS anymore, maybe moving on to WOW or something, like me =D We never had a proper goodbye. I just like to say thanks for the fun time.

Dream: maths book

The highlight of today's dream is me finding free maths textbooks. They are brand new and are Patel! Can't believe I dreamt about this.


But I'm quite disappointed about what I dream today. Usually, it's numbers and equations if i dream about maths, and actually finding the solution in the dream. But these days I've been focusing on English and literature, art, film etc, so I guess I'm kind of drifting away from the momentum. I hope I will recover and get back on track to the maths mode soon. (I know, please don't give me the look. It's weird... but i love maths)

水仙花- spirit of water

水仙花 is one of my favourite flowers. I remember growing them every year in China. They are so beautiful and I love the scent. I think i wrote a prose about it at school, something about how they represent our lives. I will see if I can still find it in my homework piles (it was written in year 3, yeah it's a long time ago). I remember I used to bug aunty to grow them again and again, but it is only around during the spring season. We grow them in New Year, and if the bud open on the first day of New Year, it is considered lucky. Ah~ brings back childhood memory~


In English, it can be translated as "spirit of water". I love how they grow from a bulb, which is like an egg of the water, and bloom into dancing stars. 


The pictures below aren't as beautiful as the ones we grew in China =P

A new iPhone coming up again?!

The 1st iPhone was released in 2007, 2nd gen in 2008, 3rd in 2009, .... and in 2011 another 5th gen coming up. I swear every year they update more and more features just to keep up the consumer stats. Oh sweet! The new one has speakers! The year after you will find they add a bigger mgp camera on the front, or on the side. So what do you do? You ditch the old one and spend another $199 to buy a new one (unless you are cheap and keep with your old one).

So how about this, Apple:  every year when you release a new modified iPhone, the buyer pay an extra $30 dollars to exchange the newly released one with the old one?

On average, cell phones are used only 18 months before being replaced. Most unused phones are stored in drawers before eventually being thrown away. in a year, more than 125 million cell phones, 65000 tons of waste, will be discarded annually. Cadmium, lead and brominated fire retardants are contained in most phones.

Not to be long and boring about the environmental damage, consider how much phones we buy and throw away each year, just to satisfy the feel of the new technology!

So why not exchange the customer's old phone with the new release with a charge of a small cost? Releasing a iOS5.0 just after when someone bought the iOS4.0 will just put them off or just irritating. Beside, recycling contributes to saving the environment.

Best of Times (2009)

Some people spend most of their lives trying to forget their first love, but some spend a lifetime reminiscing about their last love. Since men are not goldfish, they don’t easily forget their past loves, it’s just that sometimes it hurts too much to want to remember. Nevertheless, everlasting love is always worth fighting for. Best of Times, a romantic story involving two couples show how even the briefest of encounters with true love can leave you with the most memorable lifelong memories.

Director : Yongyoot Thongkongtoon
Genre : Drama | Romance
Runtime : 117 min
Cast : Arak Amornsupasiri, Yarinda Bunnark, Sansanee Wattanakul, Yarinda Bunnag, Krissana Sreadthatamrong, Sunsanee Wattananukul

Love the humour and the beautiful real life representation. This movie goes to my list of one of the best.
When the old man offers the fruit in return for her hand (as a ring), she says it is the tastiest fruit she ever tased. This tree symbolises life and hope. When he rubs it on his heart, although a fruit is ephemeral, she eats it and keeps it in her heart forever. In comparison of today, the ring is permanent but not as strong as his love.
The casting is done well. The corny, childish ironic relationship of the old couple is hilarious, sad and sweet ^^
And when the old man throws his ball to the other people's side, that young dude's distorted mouth cracks me up XD

Bill O Reilly Flips Out - Best Rick Roll Ever

Hahaha! Hilarious =)
am I the only one who is happy to be rickrolled? I like the song =P

Here's the original song, it's called Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. We should totally do that dance in formals XD lol!

A yellow clay

He calls him occasionally, just to check up on him, about his wants and health, if he wants to buy some pork from Flemington or something. This morning when the wind is freshly cold, the birds are quiet and sun still rising behind the apartments, he decided to give him a call. After all, 93 years is an old age and needs to be taken care of. He asks him if he need anything and if he feels fine. He answers back that he is fine. Then he tells him maybe he will come over to take a look at him. The moment he says that, the phone call hangs up. It is strange.

The rusty bronze door handle is lose. The door is locked. The maroon colour door has such antique sense. He likes the feel of it, the hard, hollow and soft feelin when he knocks. The silence is uncomfortable behind the door. Something is wrong. The pushing was not difficult and in minutes the door is down. He calls his name. The kitchen is silent. The sofa is empty. The toilet has no one. Alas, there he is! So peaceful, flat on the white mattress. He is sleeping like a baby. Gently and peacefully still, so effortless. The slightly opened mouth, he feels no regrets, no pain. The hang up on the phone, he must know his time is coming. How does it feel? Is it painful? To slowly seize the air in the lungs? Or numb? Did he leave not even knowing his departure and sink into his dream? You never know the day will come. Everyday, every morning you say hi, he’s there and you could feel it. You think he will always be there, there’s always time you and him together. Everyday the silent presence, but all of sudden it’s vapourised into thin air. It’s gone. He could no longer feel him. There is no warning, so sudden, and he’s gone. Though the hinting , he eventually forgets and it feels the same, he couldn’t imagine it. He’s here and then he’s gone. Screw the estate,house, property or the 4 million, he’s gone! Don’t they feel the same? From the same blood, brother and sister, not a caring word about him, only legal terms, will, by law, rights, etc out of their slithering tongues. It is great he’s gone, not know what they say after he has passed. It’s better that way, it’s better that way for him... not to see them fighting over his remains. No, i don’t care, i don’t care how much he gives me i know being there is enough for him. Oh did he really leave in peace and have not a single thought about his quarreling children? Did his last thought sails to china and the house he grew up in? Perhaps memories we don’t share? That subtly opened lips that seems like a smile—its all the happiness he sees in the white flashes.

how can these employees even keep up with their job, dealing with it all the time, their profession, how depressing oh how i pity them. a rectangular shape? A something wood, 2000, or a round curved edge.... i don't really care, for god sake, i do not care if the coffin is waterproof, air concealed, if the door's lock is broken, if tomrrow dinner is steak, if ___ ___ won $ ______ in deal or no deal, if our earth revolves around the sun, or if the sun will explode, or the end of the world.... a death certificate, this piece of paper, merely just a label of your once existence on earth and never to be read again. the great things he achieved in life, only i will remember, and silence lost in the wind... in the end, everyone, every olds and youngs are named, on the bare soil hundreds of grey stones lined where beneath the rocks and flowers are all ones whose common in one thing: death. And all human form, skeletal vertebrates, all the same, all the same.... a blessing from the priest will be nice-- $900? no one cares! No one cares! He needs a blessing from someone sincerely, not someone with a title and reciting over the same lines he rope learned over again and again. a priest or a monk, should be volunteering, do it out of good heart/sympathy. Someone who works to be paid is not a monk/priest. What’s the use of claiming territory, this is my land, this is your land, this is mine, and in the end, you claiming a land where to die, all the same, you die and you die, does it matter if you were beauty once young, if you are the president, if you invented the calorimeter, what's the point?

The piece of paper, is written for him, his last words for him. The meaningless address seems unfamiliar in the boldly written letters. But it is written with love.

{this is not edited. It can be seen as a practice in writing modernist story. but really this is written out of my head and i have no intention of crafting and refining it. I wasn't even aware of exploring techniques}

Hacking

Today I remembered something that makes me feel ashamed just like every time I recall it. It was one year ago, my very close friend and I were hanging around the computer room. That day, Ms XXX forgot to log off the computer, hence leaving open access to any one, meaning you can go on youtube, open limited folders, etc... My very good friend, let's say her name is Sarah, happened to discover the unguarded account. She whispered with excitement in my ear: "I've just hacked into the teacher's account!" Though I wasn't sure if she fully understands the meaning of hacking, I smiled and listened, curious to find what she will do-- maybe decoding the teacher's password? Browsing through some unauthorised files? I don't know what... I admit I was excited for a few second as I always have interest in the computer field, but honestly I don't see anything you can do on the teachers account except decoding her password or doing a Rick roll prank =P

Anyway, there's this teacher monitoring program installed the computer that lets the user to see other computer's activities in the room or control their actions as well. Of course, this was the first thing Sarah went on and prank the other juniors in the room. She watched what they were doing on the computer—seriously, i don’t really care about whether Ninemsn says Justin Bieber has a girlfriend, nor reading private emails of other kids—and sarah just looked at me exclaiming the fascinating discovery of power. I didn’t know how to react, excited with her? Ignore? Tell her that it’s not really something amazing? Then she took it further, she started taking control of the girl’s computer. Poor bony hair girl on the left side of the room‘s google search suddenly disappeared and was invaded by a random screen of Ms XXX’s computer.  Then the other girl on the right side put a WTF face seeing her mouse moving on its own. Sarah was laughing for her achievements. I stood behind her, watching her torturing the poor juniors in the computer room. 

But it only around one minute they found out who was the culprit behind this—it was quiet obvious who was playing with them—and all eyes and disapproving face glared into our direction. I hushed Sarah quietly and told her she should stop. And that was the end of the story. But that day I felt terrible, guilty, shameful because I didn’t warn her to stop earlier. And i felt sick, having to find someone dear, sweet and innocent to me is actually not she really seems like (or maybe she just doesn’t understand the meaning of hacking).

Ok, hacking. I can’t really say i’m a geeky professional hacker and I often seek help in hacking but i know enough to understand the world of hacking. Here’s some of the reasons why people hack:

1. They see it as a challenge, a puzzle to bypass and solve the security or barriers. 
2. Sometimes it is convenient to do something (for good reasons/no harmful intentions)

That’s why i am a proud hacker with dignity =]

On the other hand, some people do it because they:

     3.       Feel in control and power 
     4.       A computer version of bullying in real life
     5.       Gain unauthorised information for other advantages

Oh btw, hacking is a broad field and it covers different areas of the digital world. There are varying types of attitude from hackers as well.

Here’s an extract from 

Why Do People Hack? :

As noted above, most of the public perceives hackers as purely malicious. However, within the community there are varying attitudes of hackers. According to Steven Levy, author of several books on hacking, the principles of hacking are: access to computers should be unlimited and total; information should be free; "mistrust authority--promote decentralization"; the creation of art and beauty with computers; the bettering of lives through computers; learning should be done in "hands-on" fashion; and hackers should be judged by their accomplishments and skills, rather than degrees and titles. Though not explicitly decried, the fundamentals of hacking do not require malicious behavior.
Within the community, there are several different types of hackers "White hat" hackers hack for purely benevolent reasons, often alerting system administrators of holes in their security. "Black hat" hackers use hacking in order to steal personal information, such as credit cards and social security numbers. "Grey hat" hackers operate in ethically and legally ambiguous territory, practicing methods that may be construed as immoral by some parties.
Other types of hackers include "script kiddies" or a "lamer" (people who use software developed by hackers but do not fully understand its function) and "hacktivists" (those who hack to spread political messages).

Not bad-mouthing my friend here or whatsoever, but that incident brings me back to reality there are those people who are selfish, cruel and a bully in doing malicious hacking. Anyway, i’m a proud hacker and next time when i see my friend doing that again, i will try to stop her rather than standing there with my mouth shut.
