Yeah, I know, some of these albums are outdated (as they're released in June or before). But they're still cool. Well, hardly found any album that comes with all the songs that are entirely unskippable. There's always a couple of songs I skip to get to the good stuff.

OK, a little thing to know..

O.K.

Although we use this word hundreds of times a week whether things are OK or not, we have probably rarely wondered about its history. That history is in fact a brief one, the word being first recorded in 1839, though it was no doubt in circulation before then. Much scholarship has been expended on the origins of OK, but Allen Walker Read has conclusively proved that OK is based on a sort of joke. Someone pronounced the phrase "all correct" as "oll (or "orl") correct", and the same person or someone else spelled it "oll korrect", which abbreviated gives us "OK".

Drag and Drop

My Boss

He's a real workaholic who wants to make the whole team of engineers run after him. He's too energetic. I dunno where the hell he got all the energy from. Sometimes I just doubt that he's not a real human beings, either an alien or a robot emerging in my mind.

I have a presentation for my work every month. It's suffering because i have to put hell loads of time and energy to prepare it. Well, mainly about data analysis and some problem-solution thingy. This time, his turn to be assigned to present a big project to the top management. He consumes a lot of time and energy preparing the report. Now it's his turn to feel my pain in the ass. *Hehe

But a few hours before the presentation this morning, his ultimate energy was like being powered up by taking 10 tablets of vigra. He was so excited about presenting the whole project that he had done to the top management. He kept walking here and there like he had never been this busy before, trying to come out with more ideas and plans to keep his mind running. I think he just can't get rid of the excitement to show off his good work. So, at that point to kill time while waiting for the presentation, he spilled out questions like 'How much data you've gone through?','Why is it abnormal?','When will it be done?'...doubled the frequency of the same questions that he asks everyday in order to maintain and stimulate his optimal hormonal excitement. Haha. It's like maintaining erection by all day long watching porn. *Hahaha...!!

But sometimes, whenever he's taking a day off, his absence at work retards everyone's energy in moving forward. The tempo of working is slackening. On the better side of thing, a boss like him is a real daily motivator to scare off all the potential slackers.

Coincidence

I found this funny!

Year 1981
1.Prince Charles got married
2.Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe
3.Pope Died.

Year 2005
1.Prince Charles got married (again)
2.Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe (again)
3.Pope Died.

In the future, if Prince Charles decides to re-marry or Liverpool needs another European crown...please warn the Pope!

...POOR POPE....!!!!!!

Hazy Days - Part II

It's said polluted air that we're breathing in is equal to smoking 5 cig's if you walk half a kilometre route.

The uncivilized morons in Sumatra are not giving up setting fires to clear crops in their farm lands while the moronic government of both countries along the Strait of Malacca are too dumb to come out with a solution to extinguish the fires.

The so-called 'Hot Spots' in Sumatra have created a massive dust haze shadowing the whole Klang Valley, cutting out sunlight, and 'drastically' changing our ecosystem!! Sound familar? Yes, it did happen 65 million years ago.

A friend of mine said something funny, 'Look at the dust! You can't even see the damned sun! Do you know how the hell dinosaurs went extinct? This is how...'

Yeah, this is how..

(These pics were taken at 1pm under the sun)

Damn, are we going to be extinct? :P

Hazy Days - Part I

Two days ago I received email from HR Safety and Health department. It was a Haze Action Plan from National Environment Agency, Singapore, regarding the levels of API, following by the emergency plans and actions that should be taken according to the API.

API levels of 201 to 300 were said to be 'very unhealthy', and 301 to 500 'hazardous'.

I read through but i don't see any current API stated. So I asked the HR guy about the most recent status. He replied me with the latest announcement of API released by DOE (Department of Environment) - BELOW 100...!!

I couldn't believe what I read! The visibility was down to 200m to 300m and choking smell was everywhere but the government said API was below 100?? And I looked around, the haze had even pervaded inside the factory and air-conditioned office. I checked the list of levels stated on the email again, it said:

Index Value - '100'
Descriptor - 'MODERATE'
General Health Effects - 'Few or none for the general population'
Cautionary Statements - 'NONE REQUIRED'

Damn the liars. Damn the government...!!

The Hunt of Polar Bear

Do you know how Eskimos hunt polar bear? First of all, they kill a seal and spill the blood of seal into a bucket. Then they place a dagger into it, leaving the blood coagulated when it meets cold air. When it's done, an icy blood clot that looks like a red candy with a sharp dagger inside is placed on the snowfield.

Polar bear loves blood. He can smell blood miles away. Soon he found the red candy. He starts licking it excitedly like licking off an ice-cream. While he's enjoying himself in the excitement, the dagger cuts through his tongue and fresh fluid is shedding into his throat. He wonders why the blood is getting warmer and sweeter. Compound that with the seal's blood clot, he confuses both kind of bloods. Yet both tasted good!

In fact, he's getting weaker and weaker because of massive blood loss. Then the Eskimos come and take this feeble polar bear back to their igloos, ready to serve themselves a delightful dinner.

Moral of the story:

When you think you're getting ahead in life, having everything you want and enjoying what you have at this moment, would you stop for a second to think and see what's really going on around you? Are you sure you've made the right choice to stay at the current stage while you can actually leave everything behind to get yourself into a more advantageous position?

Life is never easy. Don't just say 'fuck it' and let everything stay at where it seems okay to be staying. You might be sucking your own blood off now like the polar bear.


P/S: I translated this polar bear story from an article on the net. But I made up the moral of the story. Ha.. Philosophic enough? hehe
