been a long while since i update my livejournal.... isnt much to say here either, perhaps the momentum has slowed, as compared like eons ago where i wrote a thesis just for the happening for the day.

now am in library, been trying to get some facts into my head but learning materials are not helping, work examples are terrible without answers and even they have are too shallow. read the past year paper its level 99 and im total helpless, vulnerable, alone, tearing, blur, bitching about it.....

what is done is done, life goes on and therefore...... no point bitching here as it won't help (if it helps i will write a thesis) therefore in closing, am going back to see what solution i can get and to make sure that my past 2 days' worth of studying is not wasted.

mug..... mug for what its worth... at the end of it, you can happily declare that its worth it..... and its worth trying.. 

yeah had celebration around though no cake/s involved.... but nonetheless will make effort to update more often and not let my account to grow dust..... though technically dust can't grow online... :P 

UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *BLEAH* 

I simply HAD to post this entry about an Russian IT firm which they called "Merlion" and what is so amusing about their choice of Merlion?? take a read :)

Click here for the original website


"MERLION name was picked for a reason. It was inspired by the Asia-Pacific region - the origin of products which were a starting point in the company's distribution business. The idea was to link the new name and ancient chronicles of inhabitants of the Indian Ocean's islands. These chronicles mention a mythical character "half-fish, half-lion", or Merlion - the guardian angel of Singapore.

One of the legends tells that ages ago a giant beast lived in the area, with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. The beast was guarding the ancient Singapore. When Merlion saw an enemy, its eyes would lit up with red fire and burn the foe to ashes. Never ever has Merlion missed the danger. And one day, when the country was menaced by a terrible storm, the majestic creature came out of the sea and saved humans from inevitable peril, and the country - from inevitable destruction. People of Singapore still worship Merlion. To commemorate their savior, they have built the 37 meters high stone sculpture of the lion-fish.

All legends chant Merlion as a brave and reliable defender of the country and its people. We chose the name of Singapore's legendary guardian MERLION as the symbol of power, reliability and unfailing duty."

Though we're just as befuddled as you likely are by the news, the UK's Daily Telegraph recently pointed out that at 10:22AM on June 10th, the English language officially inducts its one-millionth word. Still not befuddled? Candidates for this esteemed position are products of our social media-obsessed age: "defollow" and "defriend," each referring to the act of removing a friend or follower on popular social networking services Twitter and Facebook, respectively. Worse? The third "word" in contention for the position: "Noob."

We'll just let that sink in for a second. Back? Okay, so, according to The Global Language Monitor, words must be "used 25,000 times by media outlets, social networking websites and in other public sources" in order to be considered for official inclusion in the English language. If that number accounts for online multiplayer participants across PC and consoles, we're willing to bet that the word "noob" was used more than 25,000 times today alone. Here's hoping the misspelled portmanteau gets "pwned" by logic and doesn't end up as an official English word.

An-124 Ruslan

Yeap it is super huge and that time when I saw it park beside our humble C-130, its like a superbus and a daihatsu copen side by side, or imaginary terms David and Goliath...



Tupolev Tu-95

Believe it or not, this plane's first flight was in 1952!!! and also its the world's loudest propeller plane. Trust me, I've heard it and I swear. perhaps its special cos its a turboprop (meaning it has 2 propeller per motor) still remember that time it landed at our airbase for about 3 hours for refuel transit.




KC-10

This plane's frequent Singapore just that they land via old tampines area so its been kept away from all the eyes of Singaporeans..



there are a lot more planes around but then i cant find much of the proper pictures.. too bad I did not have any camera that time... it certainly was a unique rare chance to see them for real..

something cool for all LBP fans...

oh at the last part, its actually a mimic from the game "shadow of colossus" PS2

Enjoy!!

I've always dream of owning a Toyota Pirus, but now their arc competitor Honda is launching a new hybrid Insight... which gets me thinking again...

anyway besides the point, Honda has been rather creative on their advertisement and by far i would say that this advert is the most extensive ever made with so many cars using their LED headlights.. go ahead and check out the video in HQ mode...

And so I've got a new application on my iphone called "ocarina" it basically plays some really cool tunes and has only 4 buttons (multi touch functions) and then you can blow into the microphone as you would with a real instrument and hence you get a sense of playing a real instrument..

below is a winner of the Smule Ocarina Contest Winner (Smule are the guys that gives you this amazing application) so for those who watched naruto.... enjoy :)

Since the recession, many people has been saving up for rainy days, but comes the first IT fair this year pockets of many people did indeed burst for the rainy days of the IT fair..

Now, for those who has been looking around for a laptop and has either purchase or ended up not making a final decision and eventually let the IT fair whizzed pass by with the help of the rain and the "sardine-d" crowd, below is a dummy proof guide that explains what kind of laptop is in the criteria.

Trust me, take a look and in 8 seconds you will become an expert.

THE absolute turnoff of American style advertising for toys...

What you do when you have 2 cows :

assets,
No one knows where & who owned the original 2 cow's ...... ?

You are surprised when there's No Asset to back up the mortgage or repay

Finally, You ask the govt to bail out the collapse financial cow's market !

A FRENCH CORPORATION

You go on
strike because you want three cows.

produce twenty times the milk.
You then create clever cow cartoon images called 'Cowkimon' and market
them

A GERMAN

A MALAYSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You signed a 40-year contract to supply milk at RM0.06 per litre.
Then midway through, you raised the price to RM0.60 or you cut the supply.
When the buyer agrees to the new
price, you change your mind again and now
want RM1.20.
The buyer decided you can keep the milk and they go look for milk that
comes from recycled cows or the cow urine instead.
Your two cows retire together with the Prime Minister.

And last but not least,

A SINGAPOREAN CORPORATION
You have two cows,
One "cow-peh" and one "cow-bu".

pretty strange for a training video but it seems at certain point, it works based on retail view to lookout for customers in general... not just ladies :)

Proverbs 24:30-34 (The Message)

30-34 One day I walked by the field of an old lazybones,
and then passed the vineyard of a lout;
They were overgrown with weeds,
thick with thistles, all the fences broken down.
I took a long look and pondered what I saw;
the fields preached me a sermon and I listened:
"A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there,
sit back, take it easy—do you know what comes next?
Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life,
with poverty as your permanent houseguest!"

this so highlight my hate for procrastination as per previous post :) even the bible talks about this, what more can I say? WORK HARD!!!

To do something you know is necessary when it looks optional, and at the same time with so much resources, ie. (time, readied information), at hand and with a big scoop of procrastination (oh how I hate that word!), just makes it so much more difficult and challenging.

"It ain't personal, its just business"

Oh yeah, putting feelings into this one makes it a level even higher. To make sure that personal feelings are not factored into this situation, just makes it more challenging to overcome.

feelings huh?
