"virus attack"

computer virus, influenza, to the deadly HIV.... some we came to deal with over time...

but lately some interesting ones cropped up...

we've got our dear friendly dairy madness---> "mad cow disease"

our well known oinkish cousins---> "Nipah virus a.k.a pig's version"

nowadays our feathered friends are not spared either---> "avian flu"

ok lets see, oh come on Earth, when's our seafood dudes going to have one of their own to call "deadly virus".....how about our solar powered greenies?

i can imagine.....

"crazy fish disease"--> swarms of ikan bilis ravaging colonies of sea breams in an induced madness caused by a virus, dolphins attacks killer whales, turtles storming beaches in a savage rage!

hmmmmmmmmm

what's next? dunno man...at the rate we are going...i suppose we might have to eat ants for dinner staple soon... how about a scrunchy nice juicy fat worm for protein? =p

"action"

i have been out of action from the blogging world for about 4 days? hahaha...yeah...have been trying hard what to blog...

alas up till this moment i'm pretty much blank...so just crapping away over here... not much happenings on my life though if you must know... so to all my friends out there, here's the update of my boring life...


nothing but work, sleep, study, eat, exercise.... hardly have been out... no life practically...until today...met few friends for dinner...but not really the kind of outing i wanted...i guess everyone is tired...

had earlier on planned to meet up tomorrow instead, alas, there have been changes not to my liking... if not tomorrow would have been fun, active and better off... oh wellz, i'm just a minority...i guess no one likes an active lifestyle.. =(

next monday's meeting with another grp of friends probably ain't my cup of tea either, just dinner, after work hours and probably all just dead tired...but what to do... i gotta live with those decisions that always seem to counter what i want... where's the active outing i crave... haizzzzzzzzzzzz

no choice, time to take action

"Trouble-makers"

hate it when people start to make trouble for you...they go all out to destroy what you have acheived...maybe these people just feel like some "heroes" already

damn these people i say!

one of my favourite bloggers have been hit by such people...damn! made her lose her endorsements from a company...just because they say "she is bad influence" to the masses of young teens and people who visit her blog... get lost lah! i say you "trouble-makers" are the bad influence, teaching everyone to be back-stabbing and crucifyingly inclined!

so if xiaxue was to mean any harm to you people, take it to court lah! why so afraid? until must go by the backdoor, by attacking people through underhand means... is it becoz you learn from history "to hit where it hurts most"?

crapz lah... so now personal comments on everyday life is also being scrutinised, then where is our avenue to let it out loud? come on...if you dun like how we say things, go ahead and make your "valid point" and "DISCUSS" don't "DEMAND" that we are bad influences! and crash our lives with your "heroic" acts of patriotism and valiant spirit!

politically, things on it will never be escalated into some unreasonable stage... socially, we are all equally responsible for our actions and thoughts, we are of equal status and no one should feel inferior or superior... so the recent "events" happened over time, are of really of great debate...

anyway before you wanna attacks someone, please go through the facts, LOOK at YOURSELF first, whether YOU'RE PERFECT, then decide if YOU GOT THE RIGHTS TO attack others!

"well i learnt this from one special friend who's in gippy now, ain't she wonderful" hahaha ok ok i learnt my lesson...

when will there be light? soon i hope...i'm fast fading into the back

"risk-laden insight"

had a moment to think about something with regards to gambling...since the big hoo harrr nowadays in singapore is about the new casinos within the "integrated resorts"

so the topic for today is rather interesting...its with regards to "toto" or lottery draw...

below is the prize winning...

The Group 1 Prize is guaranteed at a minimum of $500,000.
Prize Group Winning Numbers Matched Prize Amount
1 6 numbers 33% of prize pool
2 5 numbers plus the additional number 13% of prize pool
3 5 numbers 13% of prize pool
4 4 numbers plus the additional number 13% of prize pool
5 4 numbers $30 per winning combination
6 3 numbers plus the additional number $20 per winning combination
ok, say when someone buys a system 12 roll (12 numbers at a cost of $462, yes its that expensive) and manage to win...for once...

that person would have gotten...(assuming he or she wins all seven numbers "6 drawn and 1 additional numbers" and that the prize pool is $500K)

1 share of grp 1
6 shares of grp 2
30 shares of grp 3
75 shares of grp 4
150 shares of grp 5 =$4,500
200 shares of grp 6 =$4,000

based on some earlier figures,
grp 2 prize money we assume earns $30K per shares
grp 3 prize money we assume earns $1K per share
grp 4 prize money we assume earns $500 per share

so with such an assumption...the total prize money a winner will get would be 180K+30K+37.5K+8.5K=256K excluding the grp 1 winnings

i roughly estimate and assume the total winnings (excluding the grp 1 earnings) will range from around 120K to 300K...depending on the prize pool...

so for a mere $462 you could stand to win $120K to $300K (NOT GURANTEED), that's if you are so darn lucky!

imagine now you're a millionaire with spare cash in hand...wouldn't you wanna try your luck on this as an investment? the draw happens twice a week for 52 weeks a year...thats going to cost you $48,048 in investment...sounds alot doesn't it?

but your returns can either give you returns from -100% to 32500% in returns....wahahaha sounds crazy...(all these are ASSUMPTIONS) translate it into numbers... you either lose all of it or make back a cool $15 million bucks a year...

"indecisiveness"

its kinda irritating me alittle at the moment... fed up with that attitude...

you've been doing your best to accomodate everyone's plans so that finally you can fit something workable for all to participate, and here that one person is backing out... not backing out of the thing...but rather indecisive...not giving a clear early indication to whether its on or not!

reasons abound...it seems ridiculous that for one day in their lives, they cannot just make it easy for everyone to meet up? 12 months, 52 weeks in a year, 365 days, nearly 8760hrs, 525600 mins.... and yet you cannot just fork out some time to make it??? it will only probably take up 4 to 8 hrs at most ...when you gather with everyone to catch up...

and there you go, not too sure should you give up meeting the group or preparing yourself for something that you do not know will happen at all... advance planning have been made... simple yes or no would do...why hold up everybody's plan... ???

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

"another seperate issue..."

why do people cling on to something they know their chances are slim? maybe becoz they feel there's hope?

would you wait for someone for the rest of your lives just so you can be with him or her? despite the cruel way they have treated you?

say they scold you...abuse you...making you their "back-up" plan if things don't go right....bad boy bad girl....call you last minute....doesn't it make you sound like a play-thing?

what's wrong? well....i've been told about such a story... i was rather amused at first...in fact more of boiling deep down...

but i guess i'm no different by those whom have been blinded by that devotion and love...

i'm also no different from those who have mis-used and mis-guided ourselves to dominate over others...

flaws and perfection are the yin and yang of life i suppose... we neither can be too perfect nor can we be too flawed... in every sense there is a balance

but despite saying so much...haha i'm still fed up!

"4th blog and more to come"

managing my fourth blog from today onwards... hahaha its sort of a collaboration with one of my buddy to connect a circle of friends together, no matter how continents or time differences seperate us...

its up already and there is an link to it...mostly skeleton format now...have to do up the main stuff later once i get the details...

a bit on the background about that blog... it is about the catholic faith...so its kinda religious in that sense...but really its more of a way of connecting pple rather than spreading the faith as yet...

our goal there is to update us on information regarding the faith and of course the important dates...sort of an online reminder...and yet it will connect that circle of friends...

its more of keeping the faith...rather than spreading the word...of course inevitably if you wanna put it that way, it might influence...but i rather say its more of a personal choice...

well all the readers are welcome to visit the site and give comments ok... =)

"my fav. soccer club"

well guess not many people would have guess which soccer club in the world is my favourite one...

most likely common ones would come up like... man utd, arsenal, chelsea, liverpool amongst the english clubs...

both the milan clubs or juventus seems the likely italian ones.

real madrid or barcelona are the spanish primera liga...

well big clubs no doubt...but my heart lies with a smaller london club with quite a huge loyal fan base... have been supporting them since i was first introduced by my cousin to that club...

well tottenham hotspurs, london club playing at white hart lane with an good crowd of 36,000 supporters at every home match, at the grounds...

<----- there you have it... my favourite club... lots of great players came and gone...but one things for sure... the spirit of the white hart lane lives on...

haha hopefully this season they can reach for a place in the champions league...finally after so many donkey years they've got a chance at european competition experience once again... =)

"trials"

trying out something new for my blog soon...dunno whether can work... well heck care just try lah...hahaha

"energy!"

was just wondering why, singapore won't start encouraging private home users to install solar resources?

solar powered panels and lights are great ways to save money, cut down electricity usage (those generated by non-renewable sources) and well great way to save the earth?

is it becoz too ugly? hahaha maybe....

how about the public side? more solar panels for our street lights? given our technological expertise...we could build a network of solar panels ontop our street lamps...to generate power during the day time...and this is stored at a central unit that will power up a district of street lamps during the evening to morning time...7pm to 7am those sort of timings...

well i sort of second guess the reason why the authorities on this din wanna do such a thing... probably coz of the cost... solar installations aint the cheapest things in the world right now... on a small scale probably yes...but on a larger scale it will require alot of financial resources, not just to get the parts needed, but to overhaul the system and maintenance required...quite daunting indeed

next it might be quite an ugly sight to be installing such a device...imagine our roof tops are covered in blue silicon membranes...haha just to capture solar energy

and this might even bring a barrage of criticism from old time energy firms...wahaha namely the oil and coal industry...it will be a lost to them actually if you think about it...

well i think on bright side if we did use solar, we will cut down our emissions on fossil gases, cut down on our bills, save the environment and somewhat interesting...hahaha

i guess cost factor vs environmental factor dun quite meet eye to eye yet... well i guess we have to wait till the earth gets too angry with us and strike back like it did over the last few months ...

only then we will wake up??? dunno man...go nuclear? haha i doubt we should go fission...maybe fusion sounds reasonable... well another 100 yrs or more to go i suppose... the day it materialise...will be well into the next 3 to 4 generations...unless we make that leap now...we will never going to see new frontiers...hahaha

"of being overseas then and now"

back then... just before i left the shores of sunny singapore, i realise that the world is my paradise... one that would see me walking onto different foreign shores and never to return until a much later date...

3 years later all that has changed, i'm rather contented to where i belong... where my home is... where my family and most of my friends are...

now i rather be travelling around the world exploring as a tourist or as an adventurer... rather than settling down at a foreign place for a few years before moving on...

all these thoughts? thanks to my time spent in one place...AUSTRALIA... no doubt the place is one of the last best places in the world to sit back and chill out...

but the lifestyle over there dun suit me at all... i'm neither a eurasian nor a caucasian whom i can relate to an english or "westernised" lifestyle...it does not suit a born and bred typically asian blood ME...

i'm more accustomed to seeing my glorious chinese, tasty muslim dishes and aromatic indian cuisines... yum yum... thank god ...singapore is one truly a nice melting pot of asian flavours... phew...nothing beats a place i can call home...

well to me...i dun mind travelling for work...but my heart still lies in this small little fishing village turned thriving metropolis city state...

well this are my own personal thoughts on where i feel i belong... and i'm sure to each and everyone of us, we've got that special place we all call home

;)

how about dating 5 gals at one go...just for the fun of it...and see whom i get lucky with?

how about flirting around with any gal i can get my hands into?

wahahahaha sounds so scandalous....the thought of doing it, is so daunting...and throw in the equations of moral high grounds and resources to do that....

well.............. who knows =p

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

besides this....

lets see...

--> i need a great job in the near future

--> a sizeable saving prefably enabling me to retire early...wahahaha

--> a house or a car...whichever comes first...wonder if i can have both at the same time??

--> try not to stay single... if not my bros & sistas will come after me and wrangle my neck...

--> if not, adopt my little family of 4 children.... yeah this topic is back.... all thanks to angie...haha...*cos she deciding on how many she wants to have in the future mah* whahahaha

--> retire and enjoy my late years in bliss and happiness...........

Your Type is
ISFJ

Introverted

Sensing

Feeling

Judging

Strength of the preferences %

11

1

25

1

Qualitative analysis of your type formula


You are:

  • slightly expressed introvert
  • slightly expressed sensing personality
  • moderately expressed feeling personality
  • slightly expressed judging personality

Take test here.

well here's some of the extract....of course with bias selection hahaha

dunno about this...
Protectors find great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden and can deal with disability and neediness in others better than any other type. They go about their task of caretaking modestly, unassumingly, and because of this their efforts are not sometimes fully appreciated.

wahahaha ice-cold king?
Their quietness ought really to be seen as an expression, not of coldness, but of their sincerity and seriousness of purpose.

huh....... must this really happen???
Protectors are willing to work long, long hours doing all the thankless jobs the other types seem content to ignore. Thoroughness and frugality are also virtues for Protectors. When they undertake a task, they will complete it if at all humanly possible; and they know the value of material resources and abhor the squandering or misuse of these resources.

errrrr not mine kind of future career but....
Protectors do well in many careers that have to do with conservation: curators, private secretaries, librarians, middle-managers, police officers, and especially general medical practitioners. ISFJs are methodical and accurate workers, often with very good memories and unexpected analytic abilities; they are also good with people in small-group or one-on-one situations because of their patient and genuinely sympathetic approach to dealing with others. ISFJs make pleasant and reliable co-workers and exemplary employees, but tend to be harried and uncomfortable in supervisory roles.

hmmmmm....
ISFJs are often unappreciated, at work, home, and play. Ironically, because they prove over and over that they can be relied on for their loyalty and unstinting, high-quality work, those around them often take them for granted--even take advantage of them.

wahahaha how true....

ISFJs are extremely warm and demonstrative within the family circle--and often possessive of their loved ones, as well.
ISFJs take infinite trouble over meals, gifts, celebrations, etc., for their loved ones

ISFJs have a few, close friends. They are extremely loyal to these, and are ready to provide emotional and practical support at a moment's notice.

now now.....is the real me? who knows

"crunch time"

guess everyone's heard about it... the bombings at bali...YET AGAIN...

haizzz...why do the dumb ass terrorist always gotta do such things?

you know why they are called "t (error) ist" cause everything they do will be wrong and lots of error in life!

they say religion compel them to do what they must do... i say which religion actually ask you to hurt others? its totally wrong of them to preach that!

innocent lives are at stake...

what are their reasons for doing such things? they say the western world is evil? errrr wake up can anot...

you mean asia is east and west is europe and americas? how about africa then? south? stupid right...asia can be west what...its all just meanings we give it to...

if you do not like how the governments are doing... stand up for your own future, do well, be decent enough to go into politics and make things better for everyone... dun go and ruin the common people livelihood...

well if you complain you are push to the limit... wah...where you got money to make bombs and buy weapons? stupid right... you mean having weapons of mass destructions will make you a better person? stupid ideology... nothing beats working hard for your livelihood...

study hard lah even if you lack education opportunities, i'm sure if you are willing to work hard, there is nothing in the world can stop you from learning and improving your own livelihood...

these "t(error) ist" really dumb... they make trouble, people have to stop trouble, and the circle goes round and round... wasting so much resources just to keep this thing going...

imagine the amount of money and effort wasted on rebuilding processes and the time the poor common people lost... every drop of these can be used to improve their lives and not back-track it...

imagine the amount of money that can be used to give education to hundreds of thousands of children and adults...

imagine the illnesses and diseases we can cure or fight to quell it down...

imagine the infrastructure of the country that can be improved or maintain...schools and hospitals can be built...roads, water and electricity supplies improved...

all these are being wasted...

imagine, mr osama had wanted to use his so-called millions wisely... he could have sponsored hundreds of poor orphans every year for early education, at least up to secondary standards, a decent education...

why would he wanna buy weapons that don't do good, take lives, and destroy almost everything in sight?

its all one wasted human opportunity...

The rich had a very good year.

The collective net worth of the 691 billionaires we could find is $2.2 trillion, up $300 billion from the combined worth of the 587 people listed last year.

In 2004, the ratio of average CEO pay to the average pay of a production (i.e., non-management) worker was 431-to-1...

now now...now you know why our NKF issue was such a big hooo harrrr....peanuts salary hey... well done...
