Don't think too much this Merdeka Day and beyond...

The One Called Wally

Hail Wally! He speaks for us employees who earn a leaving on a salary. For the past two days, he's been the voice of our dilemma in waking up to go to work and the need to endure more work after lunch...

Holy Magnetic Heads!

Interesting theory from one of my favourite comics:

Southern Evening Sky

The sky that was earlier in the evening:

Looks like photos of the sky are the only things that I've been snapping with the HTC Desire. Not good! Must snap more!

With new technologies come new challenges...

Over the years, countless amounts of new technologies were introduced and there is no sign of this stopping (until 2012, that is). The mobile phone is one but what complements it is even better. Text messaging! Over here in Malaysia, we like to call it SMS but if we look up into the direction of the West, we'd call it in a more glamour form - text messaging.

With the existence of SMS, there comes the human way of competition. Who can type faster? Who can type THE fastest? Just like how humans compete to go to the moon... even until this day. Ahem, so I was talking about SMS. Just today, I read about how someone managed to create an all new world record by typing "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human." in 25.94 seconds. I don't think I can read it fast enough.

People Sign Road Those

Ever wonder why those thermal printed wordings (or whatever you call them) on the roads are always backwards?

I never read them that way. Just like what xkcd illustrated, I would normally read "BACKWARD. I READ THINK ENGINEERS HIGHWAY" instead of "HIGHWAY ENGINEERS THINK I READ BACKWARD."

What about you? Which way do you read?

Thinking Dim Sum

Very interesting to be thinking about dim sum at this time of the night when I should be sleeping but just got home from work not long ago and now waiting for hair to dry after a shower. Phooooo...!

Was replying to Booker's comment and now has dim sum on my mind. Egg tarts! Yessssss... it is not considered dim sum without egg tarts and siew mai (kind of prawn dumplings) and char siew pau (errr... Chinese steamed buns with roasted pork fillings?). Oh, and all those fried stuff with mayonnaise dips!

Wash all those stuff down with Chinese tea! Still do not know how to appreciate drinking Chinese tea from those tiny cups but I guess I can learn it up when I retire and am not dead yet.

And imagine all these in a cool morning atmosphere surrounded with lots of green bamboo and a roaming panda couple while their young are messing around. Mmmmm... that would be really relaxing! A total contrast from my city work life. :(

Hustle and bustle and good night, folks!

Behind Condensation

Hmmm... I quite like this photo which I took on Friday morning after waking up at a hotel. I think it needs slightly more saturation... looked saturated enough on my HTC Desire but the AMOLED screen is elusive.

Favourite Likes

I noticed that a lot of articles and tweets these days let us favourite or like them. I mean, at the end of the articles or short tweets, there are buttons that we can click on if we like them or would like to mark them as our favourites so that later we could check them out again. Or just to express our appreciation of such articles. Nice touch, these stuff.

But what about articles and tweets that bring forth bad news or negative views? Those of catastrophic proportions or of the demise of someone that we feel enough to mark the articles? It would appear that we like that to happen or that it is in our favour of some people's misfortunes. Maybe it is just me but sometimes, I would, for example, like to mark some Google Reader articles that I like but sort of held back from clicking on the button because I wouldn't want to like what was happening in the article.

Anyone thought about this or am I just far too sensitive in these kind of things? :-/

Hawaii Five-O Reboots to become Hawaii Five-0

But first, lets take a look at the original starting sequence:

Followed by the all new 2010 series reboot featuring an "odd couple" of Steve McGarrett and Danno:

And finally, the opening sequence of the 2010 Hawaii Five-0... glad the title theme sounds about the same!

Coming to you soon this 20 September 2010... in the US, of course.
