Sunbath day: Outward bound

This Saturday we escape out of paradise garden, to a remote island where Singaporean least tread. It is said that nature cultivates kindness in children’s heart, and heal weary spirit. I am glad we were there.

lostin blog of interest – San Francisco dog blog

This is a US blog about dogs that are being tied to, well, many things. Upon viewing, I suddenly felt like I am looking at man, I mean human. White skin, black skin, yellow skin, mixed blood, all abandon by people they trusted so much. (Link)

There is even a number for each one. So sad.

The puzzle of male and female

This puzzle, which I solve in 15 minutes at first attempt, is not worth my 2 meals. Come to think about it, the theory of Yang and Ying has been told by many philosopher, saint and great minds alike, but the basic problem of man and woman stills puzzle many. Generation after another, in a vicious cycle.

The name of this puzzle is call “Love” “爱” . hmm, it is chicken feet.

Sex education with robot from Toys”R”Us

Took this photo some time back. I am surprise at how the world never stop trying to educate our children about sex, even with toys. This little odd joy stick between the robot wheels was actually point out by my four years old son, which he calls “kuku”. Too obvious.

Go; bring your children there for an education tour. But I like to find out who is this ‘smart’ designer who puts that thing there.

Oh, you ask, that is suppose to turn the robot ‘on’.

Young Robin hood of Singapore

I have a young relative whom son went astray and turns into shop lifter, being influence by bad company. I realized how juvenile delinquency is on the loose in Singapore. This kind of poster, if you notice, is pasted around many shop or shopping area. Why warn? If it is not getting out of hand.

lostin poem - Heart Harmonica

琴心

我吹起起
落落的人生
玩味呼 吸之间的真谛
你信手摘取
满室的心情
拾不完 理还乱

我弹反复
复反的旅程
指间运转 叮咛的讯息
你轻摆葵扇
在耳边的呼唤
不舍离去
日不歇 山不话

我拉矣呜矣呜
的故事
摇头晃脑 失落的传奇
你莫名其妙
襟怀中的凜烈
不停激荡

星不瞑 月高挂

What is left after you pass away

Poem - End of Journey

没了

归人拖拉着疲惫
让落后的悉悉萧索声
吞没了

冷清爬上屋顶等救赎
唯明暗不齐的南极北斗光
昏掩没了

引导者踏着
暗绿不清哀思
聆听土地呜吟着
追悼的歌
终归要去了

影子扯着皮蘘
心是方向
思念是导航
终点是家

夜急速冷了
回头路也远了
这里的天国
没了

Alternative kind of conscription possible for JW in Korea

Clouds resemble the divided land I took with my N80 yesterday, by coincidence, laughable vision.
South Korea may provide a very different kind of national service for arms refusing, blood sacred Jehovah Witnesses, in the Herald Tribune, they said,

"This is not to recognize the right to refuse the military duty but to permit an alternative service as part of social service on the premise of public consensus,"

If it works, South Korea will be the first. I can almost see it sparks concern in other nations, like for example, Singapore. Maybe all JW would like to migrate there.

Double your pay and half your weight with mathematic

Today wikihow teaches you this self delude calculation, aim to amuse one self and have some laugh. Try it.

3a = 3b
11a = 11b
3a2 = 3ab
11ab = 11b2
3a2 - 11ab = 3ab - 11b2
3a2 - 3ab = 11ab - 11b2
3a2 - 3ab + ab - b2 = 12ab - 12b2
3a(a-b) + b(a-b) = 12b(a-b)
3a + b = 12b
3a = 11b
3b = 11b
3 = 11

Blogger limerick

The more I listen to this song, the more I want to convert it for blogger.

Some are for passion, some like gathering
Some like to hide far far away now.
Some are for passion, some like gathering
Rumors that you blog, I blog too

Some are for protest, some for pop,
Some likes kidding around with their hair.
Some are for protest, some for pop,
So you blog, I blog too.

Some are bored, some make a living,
Some cannot take others nagging.
Some are bored, some for a living,
Now you blog, I blog too.

Some want everything but neglect their dignity.
Some kept their pride but dropped everything.
Some want everything but neglect their dignity.
At last you blog, I blog too.

Many could be friend of everybody.
Many habits came from other's excuses.
You and I, complaining, none reflecting,
Evil remembered crime, good continue to pray,
And so you blog, I blog too.

Example fits for Singapore human resource department

I cannot tell you who’s the referrer, but if you are not laughing, you are most suited as a human resource officer,

HOW TO PROPERLY PLACE NEW EMPLOYEES:
1. Put 400 bricks in a closed room.
2. Put your new hires in the room and close the door.
3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours.
4. Then analyze the situation:

• If they are counting the bricks, put them in the Accounting Department.
• If they are recounting them, put them in Auditing.
• If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in Engineering.
• If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in Planning.
• If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in Operations.
• If they are sleeping, put them in Security.
• If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in Information Technology.
• If they are sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.
• If they say they have tried different combinations, they are looking for more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in Sales.
• If they have already left for the day, put them in Marketing.
• If they are staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning.
• If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Top Management.
• Finally, if they have surrounded themselves with bricks in such a way that they can neither be seen nor heard from, put them as your Government.

Play Thailand parking culture like board game Rush Hour

This is good laugh of the day for me. I met a friend at Mac who shared his driving experiences in the land of Buddhism with me. Locals parked their vehicle in neutral gear without any kind of break on, so it can be easily push away when necessary. Probably every kid there knows the game, everyday brain work, intriguing! (Link) via Panoramio, also got the photo from there.

He also told me Hongkonger needs to buy a parking before they own a house, or else life would be miserable difficult, thanks, J from North.

Aries are liar

It is da truth. Apparently she asked for my sign and showed it to me. In Malay language liar means wild, intriguing. Here, let me show you a Chinese poem that best describes me.

Or go direct here.

Damn if you do, damn if you do not

As a IT Administrator, some time I do feel like having power of God at my finger tip, and yes, including when I am bombard with many inhumane issue. Imagine, as a computer god, I can make someone life easier as well as miserable with a few clicks, ah, very tempting.

However, it is not the case in real world, try telling your non IT boss about right ways to use a computer. What will you do when something “unethical” is discovered on his/her computer? Can you strictly apply your IT policies?

Ah, God has his dilemma, He knows so many, but can only helped little.

Back to destroying Earth with Esnailer

Actually, it is back to nature with it. How long since you received hard letter from someone you know. When was it you wrote to anyone feeling where he can touch and feel? A paper may not last forever, but I bet it will be longer for one who cherishes it.

My wife still keeps her childhood letter, what did you do to your first love email?

A 7 episode documentary originated from China, banned in China. I translated it from Chinese word “神州” literally. It talked about Christianity in China, and of how China develops further and further from Humanity. Will the nation wakes and brought fore hope for Chinese, or otherwise….

Good recommendation for Christian, especially a Chinese one. (Video)

lostin poem - Blood of Hero

英雄红

你生性耿直而温顺，
不堪折腰。
在这沉默的冬季，
路过的人，无视于你，
傲然的身躯，
从此，以荆棘，
冷对命运。

早春宿命的那天，
一把火，在肩上燃起，
摊开双臂，向世界，
你展现了雍华，
然而、
凋零的肤削，
没能赢得，
任何喝彩。

深情依旧的你，
将仅存的血，
撒向大地，
升华出、
纯白的情意，
带着你故事的延续，
飘向他方。

黄昏时、
路人踩踏着你的梦，
继续踩踏着你的梦。。。

Author comment: This poem runs profound. One of the best I since written. It writes of a Hero, a flower, a Martyr, a person who sacrifices sliently, yet uncompromising. One know by many but understand by few. One sad man story.

Chemology Mathematic

What is Chemology anyway, a new term to define theory that is so deep, no one understands. It is also about this question,

"Let a, b, c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
Show that:
a/(b+c) + b/(a+c) + c/(a+b)
Now see if you can describe the shape of a triangle
for which the above expression is very close to 2. "

So chimp, I can hardly breathe. Is life suppose to be complex or simple anyway.

Via BtON, Mathematic whizz, I heard this guy is a PHD.

Famous comic TinTin may face racism challenge from a Congolese in Belgium

Via Reuter UK, a Congolese student, Mbutu Mondondo Bienvenu, who lives in Brussels, says,

"I want to put an end to sales of this cartoon book in shops, both for children and for adults. It's racist and it is filled with colonial-era propaganda,"

Now, I don’t even know TinTin, but many comics are considered racist in my view point. Especially Japanese comics, many a time they portrait Japanese is de number one superior race on Earth. For any comic books author to draw or think whatever they want, I concurred. Racist? Propaganda? As long as it is pop
