Where to now?

(Extracted from my blog)

Life has been a very funny thing for me. From the time that I was born, I've never worried so much about life. What's going on around me never seemed to matter much for me as a toddler, as a kid, as a teenager. I was oblivious to everything, anything, except for playing music, sports, reading...etc.

But I'm sure many of my peers would agree that lately, it seems like we've hit a brick wall, a very thick one, so thick you could literally commit suicide by banging your head against the wall. Of all the problems we've solved previously, none matched the dilemma this road block has to offer. And that is... "What next?"

It's just one simple question and it may had already caused many sleepless nights for some. For the first time in our life, reality finally hit us, and it hit us hard. We've grown up now, and emerging from this once safe place of adolescence, now to us a cocktail of uncertain fork roads where to opt for the wrong path could lead to many more uncertainties in life.

"I want to be a doctor"... "I want to be a lawyer"...

Of course there will be some people who may give you a clear answer for that question when you ask them, they seem to be sure, almost. That takes a great deal of courage, for to set a definite path for yourself is like betting all your money in a hand of poker, you can't really go back, there's only forward. Usually these are the peoples who end up being very successful, or they'll end up working in a job they don't really like with a boss they hate to their guts.

But what if you don't have an ambition? Does that means you're doomed to fail too? That I don't know. But I can tell you one thing, taking life one step at a time is not proven formula for failure, in fact there are many tycoons out there who were once so aimless and so poor in life that you'd thank god you have a better head start. Then again, those were just the success stories, what about the other millions who were also aimless and poor? Were they as lucky too? "Life is cruel." "Life is unfair." That's just a few of many forms life takes up in front of us. 

So to ask "what next?" is very unfair and cruel indeed to us. We're just starting to get our freedom to choose and here came what might just be the most important choice we'll ever make in our life. I've read this somewhere, it saids that what defines our life in the future is what we do between the age of 18 to 22. It's true in some way, some people made it through and had never looked back since, some people screwed it up and became a person who never see the light again.

So... Yea... Where to now?

Malaysians: No stock.

RETURNING A CALL
Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone call for me a few moments ago?

Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?

Malaysians: (pointing at the door) Can ah?

Money for Time?

Well, I came across this phrase today:

"If Money is able to purchase more Time, Yes, I Obviously will do so."

Well, I would like to give a piece of my mind to this topic.
As all teachers will "teach" you, "you can't buy time". Well, that is total crap. But one thing's for sure, time wasted will stay wasted.

Well, indirectly, "time can be bought". Here's how it work, just in 4 easy steps:
1. You have cash.
2. You have work. (FE: cutting grass in the front yard, washing clothes, online-ing)
3. Use available funds to buy needed resources. (FE: Lawnmower, Washing Machine, a better motherboard)
4. Use resources to finish up work more efficient. Save energy too.

Therefore, you save up time. Isn't that getting more time from cash?

Tips:
The more available funds you have, the easier and faster you get things done with the affordable resources. So, don't be a slow poke. Resources are unlimited nowadays.

P.S. Do not complain to your parents or pester from them. Earn it by yourself.

====================================================================
The Power of the Mind

This is from an email i received recently, thought it would be nice to share with.

Business Logics
Father: I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son: 'I will choose my own bride!'
Father: 'But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter.'
Son: 'Well, in that case...ok'

Next Father approaches Bill Gates.

Father: 'I have a husband for your daughter.'
Bill Gates: 'But my daughter is too young to marry!'
Father: 'But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.'
Bill Gates: 'Ah, in that case...ok'

Finally Father goes to see the president of the World Bank.

Father: 'I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.'
President: 'But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!'
Father: 'But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law.'
President: 'Ah, in that case...ok'

This is how business is done!!

Moral: Even If you have nothing, You can get Anything. But your attitude
should be positive


What is Marketing?
You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and say, 'I am very rich. Marry me!'
That's Direct Marketing

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.
One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, 'He's very rich. Marry him.'
That's Advertising.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and get her telephone number.
The next day you call and say, 'Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me.'
That's Telemarketing.

You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl.
You get up and straighten your tie; you walk up to her and pour her a drink.
You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, 'By the way, I'm very rich 'Will you marry me?'
That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl.
She walks up to you and says, 'You are very rich, I want to marry you.'
That's Brand Recognition.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and say, 'I'm rich. Marry me'
She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
That's Customer Feedback

How to make yourself like golf on TV?

You are browsing through the TV one day, with no special program that interests you, and as you browse the channels, you stopped at a channel where they are showing many many silly men walking under the hot sun, some carrying heavy bags in which houses many dangling clubs. The players then use the long club to hit their white little balls and then walk again and hit their balls again. The commentator mentioned tons of gibberish words that doesn't make sense to you, after a while of watching it then shows a scoreboard where you don't even understand what is it trying to say. You offed the TV and went to sleep. Boring much?


So welcome to this session of "HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF LIKE GOLF ON TV?"


Well first of all let me say this to you, golf is a very interesting game ONLY if you understand how does it works. I mean, I don't know how to play cricket, heck I don't even know how are games won in cricket, that's why I do not watch or like cricket. And the same thing applies on you, you don't know how to play golf, you don't know how games are scored and won, that's why you don't like or watch golf. That's why I'm writing this, I want you to feel the excitement I feel when I watch players like Tiger Woods on TV.

(This guy is Tiger Woods, if it doesn't ring any bell)


Okay... Now before I really really bring you to the fundamentals of watching golf on TV. Please please have a look at this video even if you don't want to read the remaining of the article, and see just how players are psyched up in their game, and how big golf really is in this world. 



Excited? This is the "Shot of the Year 2005" made by Tiger Woods.

Ahhuh, now that you've read on. It's time to teach you how to watch and enjoy golf on TV. 



How is the game played and won?

Every game that are played in the world have a scoring system and unique conditions for the game to be won. Of course it would be very ignorant of me to explain golf without teaching you how the game is scored and won. So here goes.

• A tournament(competition) you see on TV is usually played in 4 rounds, one round per day. The winner is the one who completes 4 rounds of golf in the least amount of shot played. So for example a person played 287 shots total (Which means he needed to hit the ball 287 times to finish 4 rounds) and the others played 288 and 289 and so on. So that person wins because he played the least shots.

• Every round of golf consists of 18 holes, each spans from 100 meters to 600 meters in length. 

Here's an example of a hole:

• 
• Of course, there are many kinds of holes. And every hole in a golf course is categorized into "pars". There are three type of holes, Par 3 holes, Par 4 holes, and Par 5 holes. The hole in the image above is a typical par 4 hole, usually between 200 meters to 400 meters long. A Par 3 holes however are holes less than 200 meters, and Par 5 are holes are usually between 400 meters to 600 meters. So why differentiate them? Now this is where the scoring system kicks in.

The par represents the standard score you should play for that hole, a par 3 hole's standard score is 3 shots/strokes, which means the ball is hit 3 times before entering the hole, etc... And, if you get the same score as the hole standard, you score is called a "Par".  ie: Your score for a Par 5 hole is 5 shots, so that is a par. So what happens when you played more or less? Read on

• If the score for the hole is ONE shot less than the hole standard (par), it is called a "Birdie". Also written as -1 in scorecards or scoreboards. 
• If the score for the hole is TWO shot less than the hole standard, it is called an "Eagle". Also written as -2 in scorecards or scoreboards.
• If the score for the hole is THREE shot less than the hole standard, it is called an "Albatross". Also written as -3 in scorecards or scoreboards.

• If the score for the hole is ONE shot more than the hole standard, it is called a "Bogey". Also written as +1 in scorecards or scoreboards.
• If the score for the hple is TWO shot more than the hole standard, it is called a "Double-Bogey". Also written as +2 in scorecards or scoreboards.
• If the score for the hple is THREE shot more than the hole standard, it is called a "Triple-Bogey". Also written as +3  in scorecards or scoreboards.
• Since the pros usually have the maximum score of bogey in a round, I think it's highly unnecessary to list out the others.
  

Actually all these scoring system and their terms takes some time to understand.  :)

Ok, now that I've explained about the scoring system, it is time to see how does it actually works in your TV screen. Take a look at the image below.
As you can see, the winning player finished 4 rounds of 18 hole golf in the least amount of shots, and his score according to the standard score is -8, pretty neat huh? The -8 is the total for four days. So it might be that he played 8 birdies, or maybe 4 eagles? Or even 11 birdies and 3 bogeys for his 4 round.



That's it for today. Stay tuned and I'll be posting "How to make yourself like golf on TV? part 2" in a few days time. :)

Proven and proven, you are warned?

Okay don't flame when you see this post, this is written in the perspective of a student who excels in school ( *ahem* Me *ahem* ) whether in studies or co-curicullur activities. Someone, a few days ago, asked me what is my opinion on secondary school students having complicated relationships with each other.  There you go:

I'm sure some if not most of you are busy woe-ing the one you love. You flirt with him/her everyday, phone everyday, spend plenty of time with him/her, gifts after gifts. But what did you expect in return? The love you really want? 

"Yes" said some people.

"Maybe" said the others.

"No" is my answer. That's why I'm single now :)


It just comes a time when you just don't have much time as you do while in Form 1 or Form 2, you can do anything you want during the lower secondary period. Once you step into higher secondary, things becomes messy.

You had less time with each other, homework after endless homework, assignments that can kill you, exam marathons, club activities, and most of us even got into the committee of our own clubs. So tell me, where is the time for each other? You tell me you have 25 hours per day?

Sometimes I wondered if I can take up the challenge, juggling all those everyday 24/7, but it's proven that I'm not superman, I mean, even superman can't multitask. So I took the challenge, and failed in an epic proportion, more epic than The Lord of the Rings. I screwed up during that period, but luckily I rediscovered my passion, and that is reserved for music. Never lost it since.

You can say I have a messed-up thinking, but I am me. 

So I am asking you for now, Love or your life?

Why Good Peoples Died Faster Than Bad Peoples?

Why Good Peoples Died Faster Than Bad Peoples?

In movies, we always could see that, good peoples died faster than the bad people, then, good peoples won in the end!

I finally found a good reason why...

First... Why we on earth? We need to do alot alot good things, so that we can go to heaven...

So I think this is what happened in heaven...

GODs feels that it is too boring seeing so much same GODs in heaven(according to Alba's theory)... So THEY wanna play some games(which we always thinks GODs fooling us XD）.

So THEY feel that, if without some drama, "NO KICKS MAN!!!!"

THEY created humans... With good and bad...

Why there is good and bad?

Actually... Bad peoples are used to create good peoples, don't you think???

In movies, why there is hero? Because bad guys makes a big contra between the good peoples...

This is how, good peoples are created...

BUT!!!When the GODs feel that, "Hey, these good peoples makes the bad peoples die, and there is not enough POINTS for the good peoples to come up heaven lah!!! Let's kicks those good peoples with enough POINTS to heaven..."

So, good peoples died... And the bad peoples continue to "create" good peoples by being hit by good peoples!!!(Correct isn't it?? XD)

So, in the end of the story... Good peoples went to heaven!!! Where the bad peoples go??? HELL??? OMG... They are pity isn't it? XD

T_T... So, we should say sorry to bad guys... They are so pity right? XD

What about the GODs??? Eh........ XD

(Notes:"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"-William Shakespear XD)

Everything in this world

By Chris "AlbaX"

==========================================================

Have you ever wondered, what are the odds of our history being as of today? One in a thousand? One in a million? One a trillion?

What if, in the course of history, one little event went differently? Would our world still be like today? Let's look at how events came to shape our history shall we?

• Our Earth wouldn't bear life if it was a few kilometers nearer or further away from the sun.
• No life would exist if DNA molecule never existed.
• Dinosaurs and reptilles will still rule the world if the asteroid never hit Earth 65 million years ago.
• Primates will not evolve into Homo Sapiens if there were lots more jungles and trees. Primates decided that standing on two legs will make traveling faster on the plains that was abundant.
• Humans will not exist in American continent if there wasn't an Ice Age, they managed to reach American continent through the ice bridge linking Siberia and Alaska.
• We will all be Alexanderian if Alexander the Great did not died during his expedition.
  
• Roman Empire will not collapse if Cleopatra's was never born. And if Roman Empire never collapsed then England will not rule half the known world during the Industrial Era.
• The world will be so less religious if God never took the trouble to pass down messages.
  
• Witchcraft will be so advanced and will rule our everyday life if the peoples decided to go "nerdhunt" instead of "witchhunt".
• Modern history will not be the same if Hitler is not a Nazi and never attacked Europe with his Nazi legion.
  
• Modern history will not be the same if the Allies never succeeded in Operation Overload a.k.a D-Day at Normandy Bay of France.

The list will go on and on and will take millenia to finish. But I wrote some just to point a few. Oh and don't forget.

• You will not be sitting at that chair in front if this monitor screen if your parents have not met, married, and had sex and that particular sperm named "Saint Jimmy" never penetrated the ovum and your mom didn't aborted you. 

So what are the chances of you existing here today? The chances are --- One in an infinity

Malaysian Education

Note that this article may contain materials that are sensitive so some sensitive persons. Otherwise view this as a little article that I'm writing and has no relation whatsoever to your life. I have the right to say what I think as long as I am not hurting peoples with my words. 

OK with that? If so you may proceed, or else don't even bother to read. :)

Malaysia and its Epic Phail Education

By Chris "AlbaX"

===================================================================

First Epic Phail - English and Malay Dilemma

It has been a hot debate - English or Malay for Science and Maths? For a long long time English has been an established language in Malaya ( Note, not Malaysia ) during the British Colonial era, it is an important language during that time ( and now, it has never lost it's importance ), but since the Independence Day, English lost it's role in the government, Malay replaced the use of any official paperworks.

But overall, English still retains it's importance in Science world, whether or not anyone wants to accept the fact, English is the Lingua Franca of Science and Technology. 

But one serious problem occured, in Malaysia, Science and Maths are taught in Malay in the pre 21st century era, many terminologies are created for Malay as a translation for the English terms. And to be honest, IT IS TEH FAIL!

But some "smart" people came to realise that, and somehow they convinced the Education Ministry that English is the way for Science and Maths, and they made an effort to change the whole education system for Science and Maths. Tada~ In year 2003, the plan was implemented and it millions of Ringgits were spent just to make sure the whole project works.The result? Well improvements needs time, and obviously 5 years is not enough to see any results. But the Education Ministry expected to see instant results and jumped to conclusion that English IS TEH FAIL!

And so they decided to review the teachings of Science and Maths in English and if needed to revert the medium of instruction back to Malay. Sounds like a hasty decision I know. The Ministry decided that some peoples can't master English well enough to absorb the information taught during the Science and Maths subjects, therefore they say mothertongue is the best language to teach Science and Maths until secondary where it will then be taught in Malay ( the national language ). 

And so I present my case for English to stay:

First of all, 5 years is just too short to see any results. What did they expect? That eveyone gets an A for those subjects? At least 11 years is needed before any reviews are to be done, for it covers a span of a student from Standard 1 to Form 5, and then you'll see result.

Millions are spent to educate the teachers on English to prepare them to teach, millions are spent to prepare the apparatus needed to teach Science and Maths in English. And for what? Just to let it go waste? I say continue what we're doing if it's not the wrong way, if we revert back to the use of Malay, thenEVERY money spent will be going down the drain, and that's your money, the taxpayers' money.

What of the mothertongue? Not all Chinese speaks Chinese, not all Indian speaks Tamil, I'm sure there are Malays who doesn't speak Malay. So what of the mothertongue? So how would you wanna educate them in mothertongue? Hmm... God knows?

From the view of vocabulary, indeed English has much much more terminologies than Malay when it comes to Science and Maths. And it's probably the easiest language to be used to search for information on the internet. Compare this, would you type "Moon" or "Bulan" if you want to do a research? The answer is obvious enough. And most international scientists uses English to communicate too, how were they to communicate if they are education in Malay for these subjects?

I know some of you wanted to say that in Japan and Korea those subjects are taught in their own language. All I can say is --- DON'T COMPARE!!!

Why not? But why yes?

Japan and Korea are advanced country that have many of their own research institutes, and the world looks upon them, learn from them. Is Malaysia as respected as Japan as a country of technology? Not exactly. So don't compare is the best way, we do what we're doing and we'll be fine.

The conclusion is, we really do need English for Science and Maths, just for the sake of the future. It's the peoples' money, we have the right to decide for our future. 

===================================================================

Second Epic Phail - Moral as an Examination Subject

So, who here hates this subject as much as I do? Don't be shy, I know most, if not all, of you do.

This subject was introduced to educate the students of moral values in life and how to be a good person in life, yes? So far, after years and years of moral lessons, think about it yourself, is it doing any good to you? Probably no.

So am I meaning to say that this subject is really unnecessary? Yes, it is. Look at the country. See for yourself. Before the subject came, we have murders, we have rapes, we have robberies, we have kidnaps, drugs, crimes, all sorts of stuffs, and when it was introduced, did you see any changes? Not really, life goes on, Moral Education or not. Desperate peoples are still desperate peoples, they'd kill just to have a meal to fill their stomach.

MORAL EDUCATION = 0% Efficiency subject

True, the subject forces us to memorize tons of terms JUST TO BE PREPARED FOR THE EXAM. Is that the meaning of education? Isn't education means a process of educating? So in what way does preparing for a Moral Education Exam educate us? No way, it doesn't. Moral needs to be taught not as a subject, but as a value by family and teachers.

Still not convinced that Moral teaches us to lie to ourselves? Look at this example:

Moral teaches us the value of honesty, that we have to speak nothing but only the sincere truth. What if in exam came a question that looks like this? "What would you do if you saw a blind man trying to cross the road?"

For persons who wanted marks for their Moral paper, they'd answer "I will give him some help". Kaching~ 2 marks into your pocket. But is that the honest answer? Do you really give help to a total stranger and in that case to a blind person trying to cross the road? Think not, you wouldn't, like everyone else in the society. 

So I came to a conclusion that Moral Education doesn't really teaches you Moral values, it's too exam-oriented to be effective. But then again, if teaching Moral as a subject doesn't work, what will?

What is this universe all about?

Note that this article may contain materials that are sensitive so some sensitive persons. Otherwise view this as a little story that I'm telling and has no relation whatsoever to your life. I have the right to say what I think as long as I am not hurting peoples with my words. 

OK with that? If so you may proceed, or else don't even bother to read.  :)

====================

You are reading:

What is this universe all about?

By Chris "AlbaX"

====================

The Creation of Universe

So to start off I am going to ask you one question. Why did the universe exist? This question has been so age old that we even forgot when was it asked in the first place. So why is the universe really here? 

According to scientists and experts in other fields, the universe was created in a Big Bang, and it's expansion was accelerating since and is estimated to be at least 93 billion light years across. Since the Big Bang until now, the universe is believed to be 13.73±0.12 billion years old.

If you are a man of science you would have believed in those facts, and to be honest the facts are convincing enough. But then again, refer to my first question, why bother to exist when it saves trouble not to exist?

Ask any religious man, who are in total objection of the science facts ever since history, and they'll point their finger at God. They'll say," God created everything, sowed the universe with life, dictated every pass present and future." And then I'll ask again and again and again, why bother to create the universe that is so infinite and impossible to govern. God did it for the trouble? God did it to occupy their time?

In another theory, it stated that our universe is just one of the multiverse that existed by the same method of birth, the Big Bang. Each universe is different from one another, governed by different physics laws and constants, and matters so different from the ones in our universe exists in those that it's unimaginable. 

This theory, if combined with the God theory plus a theory of my own, may just sound more logical than ever. Look. Gods are timeless and supreme angelic spirits, they are ageless, their existence and birth is as a mystery as the question as I asked, and they are bored. Get where I'm going? Look on.

Note that I wrote "Gods" instead of "God" because in my theory, many Gods existed outside the universe. So what happens when you get dozens of holy supreme being bored to death in a timeless dimension? They'll try to find things to occupy themselves of course, and maybe while trying, one of them suggested that they have a little competition on building the best universe and whoever wins will have bragging rights among the Gods. And so they started to mould their universes, this is correct to the theory that multiverse exist.

And starts this little story that I wrote about the universe.

One God, created our universe. He set how things would work in this universe, and thus creating the physics laws and contants that we know today. He tried to create things from just a handful of materials the Gods can use, it is the protons neutrons and some other elementary particles known in science. Then when he was satisfied, he gave birth to our universe with a little fireworks process, the Big Bang, which is the only way known to Gods to create a new space.

He looked overthe universe, and it was full of hydrogen atoms ( the simplest element ) bouncing around and then hit each other to form helium molecules according to the law the God set. In a few billion years later, the first stars are born, giving light to the universe, and few billion years after the stars came together to form galaxies.

It went smoothly like how the god set the universe, but it was all so empty, hollow to be precise. The stars and galaxies would surely impress other Gods, but he doubt that it will be unique, he was desperate to outstand. And so he breathed in life, not directly as any religious facts stated, but by tweaking the physics law a little, he made some elements into the known "organic" elements, Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. In his modification, the elements can bind in many ways to create what we know as cells and the organelles. 

And so the real story began. He sowed life in some new formed planets, and then he came to Earth. Nothing was really special about Earth, in his mind it's "just another petri dish of life" that can be used to impress other Gods. But of all the life he spread, only a handful survived, one being the Earth.

Then again, what's the purpose of those cells when it's just some things that can wiggle around? No, the God thought, he will need something of a grander scale, a chronicle to tell his fellow Gods. So he started to write on the path of history of the universe, in one of those included a large section specially for the lives. Yes, what I meant is that everything was decided by God in the first place, and that the freedom of choice is just an illusion. 

He bothered to create all this to present a good show to his fellow Gods. But soon, one rogue God whose name was Satan saw what theGod was creating. He was jealous because his own universe wasn't as good, so he tried countless of times to wreck all God'shardwork. Satan went corrupting minds of the lives, and soon led them into suicidal destiny. The lives died one by one in planets, God decided that he had to act fast.

Then came Satan to Earth, like what he does, he corrupted the minds, but God interfered this time to undo Satan's plan, he visited Earth in his avatar form and introduced a set of rules to the dominat life, Human. The set of rules was written by God himself to counter weak mind, that he it think will stop Satan's mind corruption. 

The rules was not passed directly to every human because he found a better solution to save time and attention. Instead he passed it down to prophets who will then spread the rules for God and he will then be free to worry about other worlds and tend to the universe. Over the course of history he visited Earth a few times to check on things, and then pass the set of rules to another prophet who would then help to speed things up.

And so with this he was able to surpress Satan's corruption and then God himself can continue to watch over the growth of his universe.

===================================================================

Act Two of the Story

Prophets did a great help to spread the set of rules, though not everyone agreed with accepting it. Over the span of years God visited Earth a few times and elected a few prophets to do his bidding, some being Moses, Jesus, Prophet Muhammad, and even Siddhārtha Gautama.

So if all of them are prophets of the same God, why did they spread different religions? Why not only a single religion exist? Why different holy scripts like The Bible or Qu'ran? 

And answer is fairly simple and can be explained by science itself. Have you ever played a game where messages are transfered and relayed from one another in a line and see how close to the original message does the person at the end of the line can tell? The person will almost always say something ridiculous and not similar to the original message. The result is always consistent, is that the more the message is relayed and passed, the less detailed it will be. 

So can this be used to explain the difference between religions even though there's only one God? The answer is yes. Due to the factor that I've stated and a few others factor like language being used in a particular region, geographical terrains that created isolation of civilisations, and difference of race and ethnic, I have enough reason to conclude that my statement is as realistic as any others can be. 

So in my opinion, every religious icon, their prophets received a same set of rules from the God himself. Some interpreted it differently and spread different sayings, but it is still similar to the actual one refering the moral values. So in truth, God actually knew that this would happen, but it didn't go too well than he expected when his creations are all fighting against each other for the difference in religion, physically or verbally. They all fought for their own religion, stating that the real God gave mandate to their religion only and others are imposters.

So....Think about it...Is the differentiation really necessary now that you've read what I wrote?

And here ends my article for today. I hope that I has changed your perception. Even though I still believed in Buddha as the real boss of gods XD...


=+The End+=

P.S.   I am meaning to say that we are actually fishes in an aquarium or animals in a zoo. Nothing more.

10 Reasons To Eat Fruit
1.Fruit consists for the largest part of water

Just like the human body does. If you think about it, it's logical to consume food that contains as much water as your body does...

2.Fruit Stimulates Our Memories
If you didn't know yet: fruit is the ultimate brain fuel. Fruit has a positive effect on our brains and makes you recall information easier and faster...

3.The Miraculous Healing Effects Of Fruit
Spectacular stories about people that cured from cancer by a strict diet of raw fruits and/or vegetables are well known but do we want tobelieve them? We still don't know that much about fruit and its contents...

4.Fruit is not expensive at all
Did you always think that fruit is an expensive product? Take a good look at how much money you spend on other food. It could be worth something to replace some of those expenses with fruit...

5.Fruit Is 100% Bad-Cholesterol Free
No doubt about this reason. Too much cholesterol is not good for our bodies and fruit doesn't contain much cholesterol. Animal products like meat and dairy contain a lot of cholesterol...

6.Fruit Makes You Feel Better
Several stories have told us about people that were frequently depressed and how they got out of their depression slowly but surely after consuming substantial amounts of fresh fruit on a regular basis. Eating a lot of fruit can have a mysterious healing effect on human beings...

7.Ethical Reasons To Eat Fruit
Fruit doesn't have to be killed and slaughtered before you can eat it. The fruits are just hanging there waiting to be picked by you...

8.Fruit Is The Most Natural Food
Fruit is food that has been made by plants to be eaten by animals and humans in order to spread its seeds...

9.The Human Diet
A good human diet should consist of freshly squeezed fruit juices, bread, vegetables and some water. Since it is hard for the average homo sapiens to conform him or herself to such a severe diet, i suggest that one starts by eating five to nine pieces of fruit a day...

10.Fibers
We do know now that a diet with plenty of fibers helps against corpulence, high blood pressure, and other factors that increase the chance for a heart disease. The food that contains these healthy (natural) fibers is.... right: FRUIT!

(p/s: An apple a day, keep the doctor away)

Maths

Ok, for you math wizes out there, I can prove women are evil with simple mathmatics:

To have a woman you need time and money

so to start:

Women = Time + Money
Time = Money
Therefore women = Money2 (squared)
The root of money squared = money
Money = the root of all evil
Therefore if the root of women = money,
Money squared = Evil

So Women = Evil

(No offense meant to ladies out there this is just a joke XD )

Wisdom Tooth

My Wisdom Tooth

I went to see the dental surgeon today to extract a tooth. Don't be shocked by the image, it's actually a tooth known as the wisdom tooth.

Now here's a short fact about wisdom tooth. It is the two teeth in the deepest part of your mouth or jaw. Most people will grow it while some don't ( Which one are you? ). Those who grow it will only experience the growth of wisdom tooth at the age of 20-24, in other words, the two last tooth only will break out from your gums at that age.

What happened to me was, my wisdom tooth grew out at least five years earlier than it should be, the dentist said it must be removed because my jaws are still not fully grown, therefore it doesn't have enough space for two more teeth. This will lead to the imparement of the direction of growth and later leads to the damage of other teeth. So this is what happened..

 

And this is what will happen if it's not removed later...

So you get the idea...You guys should thank god you are not suffering the pain in my mouth I have now. And not to mention I only removed one wisdom tooth, I still have another to go... 

Ah well...Life sucks sometimes isn't?
