Thoughts?

Just read elaine food blog at http://www.kitchenexperiments.net/ and congrats to elaine for getting award for Mushroom Recipe of the Week!  LOL. HERE is the recipe

http://www.kitchenexperiments.net/2009/04/marinated-mushrooms-with-balsamic.html

If there is no link don't be lazy just copy and paste in your URL bar, if you like food you should just read about it. I didn't know she has more than 200 posts in year 2007 I just realized when the drop down folder listed those article count. Sorry my bad.

Nonetheless, today just feel demoralized for no reason, may be because the stupid things I have done in past, or the pride I have in me make me feel very stupid and ignorant. You know just demoralized. I wanted to blog this with chinese but I guess my chinese typing is damn slow. Just do this in english and is less enigmatic.

I remember I read an article quite sometime ago stated that before we meet our true love usually will have to learn about and come to know someone who love you most, and someone you love the most. I guess it is more or less quite true, before you know how to balance love and logic. 

The story begins with the one really loves you  has appeared in your life, but you never really appreciated her, until you realized that the love has lost there will be no Key to undo it. What is left is the fragment of memories. And because of her love, we learn that how much it meant to love someone.

and after knowing that we are capable of love, someone some how will appear to be the one you will love the most.  Love is emotional, and beyond comprehension of logic and make your mind break down if you overdosed with it (for me). Thus, you learn about the pain, dissappointment and some would say absurdity. and the end everything is just mirror flower water moon.

And the journey of life continue, but this time you learn to see beyond the mirror and water,  and see the world with wider perspective because of her, and you learn to balance between love and sanity. And may be because of the reciprocal love that it has between both, the cycle is completed just like babbling Priest will always talk about the meaning of ring during christian wedding. The ring is complete, round, circle and no end, no beginning, no start, no break, eternal revolving, spiralling and etc. So the love, the patience and etc will be going around like merry go round. And thus, after wearing the wedding ring, they will go through the story of third ring.

First ring - Engagement Ring, where anxious heart, excitement and the anticipation of going to have a wedding soon. And both parties are more commited and being Engaged......They say by wearing this ring longer will prevent the reign of 3rd ring.

Second Ring - Wedding Ring, usually it happens to wear it once a life time (officially), and filll with joy and happiness and harmonious love between the two great lovers and blessed by many attendance who cheer for them and wish them all the best (cause they know, the age of third ring will soon reign).

3rd ring- SuffeRing, The third age of ring, that rules over more than half of the human life (wedding at 25 or 30 years old live till 60 age, more than 50percent of your age). This invisible rings, will haunt you and the one you love if the foundation of love is not strong enough, this invisible rings have shattered many family, shed many tears, spill much of blooodzzz, and yet until today it still carries oniwith  its mysterious and legendary task. Much and many people has tried to have countermeasurement and against 3rd ring reigns but wearing the 1st ring longer and to achieve better understanding of what it means to wear a ring. Most human has so far made it to 3rd age of ring. But some extremist or the grudge of 3rd ring is just too strong, they evolve to 4th age of ring which can be the final form.

4th ring - Ring O, it happens when you throw your children into the well and watch too much of video tape that will have ghost crawing out from your TV set, and we are lucky that nowadays there is no more VHS player in our house, so the chances of getting age of 4th Ring is very very rare. But beware, the legend can be revived anywhere anytime.

Someone said: Making a million friends is not a miracle; the miracle is to make a friend who will stand by you when millions are against you. 

I would say, making a million of friends is called networking, working them out like shit is called management, digging an escape route for you when million are stabbing your ass is tunneling??

More than 10 years ago

Out of boredom, today I just dig out ICQ and start to think back how I started playing internet in 1997 which I was just form 2. I think that time we were all using 33.6kbps modem. I remember  the brand I was having is Merz or something. and they are only TMNET and JARING ISP. 

MODEM (modulator- demodulator) 

Going online each minute is about 1.5 cents for phone line and also 1 cent for Internet account. and the only thing people do online is chatting in IRC (internet relay chat) which is now famous for distributing movie, software and files, of course people still chat there, but with MSN, skype and google talk, the numbers really cut down even for ICQ which is famous 10 years ago. 

And also we started to play quake online and quake.tm.net.my and meet many friends from there. But now none of them I still keep in contact except Dennis (nickname TechnoShock[SN])  a remarkle online Quake player at that time. Another player is quilksilver, I still got his MSN, but not his number. Machine running that time is just DOS and windows 95,  not even windows 98, and netscape navigator and IE still fighting for browser wars even until today. 

And back at those day, many new internet users do not know the dangers of Internet, alot of them simply download files, and also read email from stranger which allows trojan horse to be installed at their machine. The most widely use Trojan hourse is BO (Back Orifice) and follow by netbus and also subseven. Hacking in that time is fun and simple. You will need to do some port scanning and also get the server install then you can do all those backdooring easily. Unlike nowadays, that anti virus has grown stronger and virus is more devastating since internet speed is much faster. And the most important thing for BO is to used to steal TMNET and also JARING internet account. And many share using TMNET account since is postpaid and JARING is prepaid so you cannot overload the account. Ended up many are not paying for their TMNET bill after racking up few thousand in their monthly bill which is quite impossible to achieve.

After that, I started to pick up ICQ and also random chatting. There is the time where I find it words are powerful, and also words carries people feeling, for those who are really elite at ICQ till now, most likely they can sense the other person feeling and emotion through the words they type from the other side of the world. 

Just because of random chat I meet up with many of the netfriends , mostly are quakers and some are just college netfriend. The very first one lives in klang I don't even have a driving license, and she invited me to her BBQ party during chinese new year If i was not mistaken, can't really recall her name, no handphone number also, ya that time we still relying one Telekom land line to communicate I guess. And nokia 3210 still not yet being conceived and developed out in market. The only things i remember now is her nickname on ICQ is baby LOL. thinking of this is already 10 years ago. I guess may be she is married by now or ... whatever lar haha..

Then I meet up with few other netfriend which i still keep in touch, who are Candice, that TAR college girl (LOL), Helianthus (can't remember her actual name but when she was studying in Sunway college I went out with her to watch that mou gan dou movie in sunway pyramid) Was after year 2000 i guess.

And one of the Best friend I get from there is Elaine, we still msn alot though now she is 12 hours time difference from mine. I would say getting to know each other on MSN is really fate, and out there is like having so so many people we can meet up is really fate. I am now checking through my ICQ name list is really long, Whoever I encouter if I still have memories about them I just write abit here and there.

Another pretty girl who study in INTI and later work in IBM now, Jessie Ang. I think you can find her on my friendster or facebook.  And also Karena another pretty girl who get married just last year. Sorry for not knowing the dating at valentine has another meaning. 

Kelly Chan and his brother both in INTI also, but now really keep in touch now, dont know whether she get married cause also 30:P haha. Cheaying I met her on ICQ and now in MSN and then we met up and get to know each other. Hope your study is well and all the best.

I meet friends from shah alam section 24,18 and so on, dianne, sherren and also joanne. 3 Of them from same school. I guess we just to ICQ alot last time. Now they seldom online except Sherren is still blogging late night at www.wretch.cc/blog/sherren85/ 

I just check my ICQ friend group, I have quaker 15, friend 57 , inti friend 29, family,inti ICF 29, close friend =3?? and ICQ random 66 and in GENERAL and none group is 221.....net friend 115, some other grouping.........I remember I used to read the old ICQ history, may be is good that I cant read it back now.... It brings back many memories. and now ICQ is really deserted, no one online at my list. 













 

Food for thought

Everyday we need food,  some people want nutritious food, some might want healthy food. Basically I don't care, I eat happily and die happily LOL. But SUBWAY is always my choice if I wanna eat something related to bread. Don't really prefer to much of McD or Burger king, I mean just personal preference nothing too bad. Just think subway is meat and vege is fresh and It has many customization you can do. But don't eat it too often, I mean you might just get too much nutrient or cabohydrate. 

Looook at the pic, that multiple layers of meat and veges.

Tsunami at 22nd July 2009?



Just couple of days ago I received an Email regarding the Tsunami predicted at 22nd july 2009, then again my friends forwarded me, and today I got another one. Just to really check it out whether is real or not, I have decided the do some googling and found out that it is just some prediction and simulation Idea by some software engineering










check out The 2 links above to see how true it is.


Basically it is based on eclipse on July 22 to simulate the earth quake.




---------------------Email contents-----------------------





I just received this message from a colleague. I don't know the source of the message; I also don't know the credibility of the content, but just beware. Below is the content on the message: "Hello there. I just wanted 2 let you know that please stay away from the beaches all around in the month of July. There is a prediction that there will be another tsunami hitting on July 22nd. It is also when there will be sun eclipse. Predicted that it is going 2 be really bad and countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Si Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit. Please try and stay away from the beaches in July. Better 2 be safe than sorry. Please pass the word around. Please also pray for all beings." Thanks and have a nice day. Bless you~


--------------------End of contents-------------------


According to the original post, it is JAPANESE QUAKE and TSUNAMI, and it is predicted to be caused by eclipse and has nothing to do with all the mentioned coutries like "Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Si Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines ". And beyond that, author quoted "I have no plans to create the simulator (but before I drop the idea all together) I thought I'd use a little Psuedo science to make my own earth quake prediction for the July 22 2009 Eclipse."
So as you can see everything is just theory and author Britton LaRoche didn't even create the simulator to run the simulation. And if you continue to read the comments, he stated "the statement :"magma pull out by gravity force of sun and moon, the live magma and medium inside our earth is the major medium that generates gravity field of earth. they form a body of a big magnet that pull all mass towards them, they will never been pull out from crust."
Lastly check out this indian research http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/12-28c-04.asp
Might be same theory, but who knows correct or wrong since we are not seismic expert.
As a conclusion, as you can see, 22nd July will not have earthquake caused by Eclipse, but who knows that day the activity of tectonic/seismic is great enough to shift the crust, then earthquake might happen. Author did a good job bringing up the idea, but not sure who is the one spreading around the email LOL. So next time do some research before really believe in the email.
New UPDATE just check out snopes.com it has alot of information regarding hoax and false email. http://www.snopes.com/science/tsunami.asp Confirmed is prediction and theory only.
Next time check out snopes.com it has very good information. And please don't forward the KFC is genetic engineered, it has already being confirmed false in snopes.com
