No more Friendster for me!

I've deleted my Friendster account.
I just could not believe how a previously top social networking site can fall into such a pathetic state today. Games and friends are what thats left. WHAT?!

Find me on Facebook / BlogTV / Neopets / HardwareZone / Twitter / Youtube instead.

Blogging is amazing, super relaxation.

Recently someone called cindijconrad requested to follow me on Twitter.
Looking up at the profile, all the tweets are built in a format similar to the title.
So by searching one of the tweets, I noticed it is just one of the bots in twitter...
But somehow, the tweets, when pieced together, seemed pretty interesting...
Just like a really long poem...
Check this out!

This person must be some hyper-active over-enthusiastic crazy overworking sporty student or teacher who likes to participate in almost every sport. Tennis, running, soccer, rugby, basketball, handball, hockey, golf, and even weightlifting, biking, wrestling and synchronized swimming!

I would like to know this person, really... The person will amuse me too much.
But too bad, it's just a bot.
Out!

Facebook fail...

Wait... Out of the 300+ friends I have in Facebook, only 99 live in Singapore?

Just for laughs...

Out!

Spamming bots!!! HAH! Overcome this!

Tagbox filled with spams?
Do you know you can stop all of them?
Just follow this steps.

Step 1: Log into your cbox account.

Step 2: Go to the posting options under the options dropdown menu .

Step 3: Check require CAPTCHA and save it.

That's it! No more spam. But this also comes with a small price...

But at least it get rid of the spams...

Out!

I've got nothing to blog about for now.

Even though I've got some ideas.
Meaningless entry, just to keep my point of having at least a post a month...

Chicken Riddle

You spent $8 on a chicken, sold it for $9. But you wanted to earn more than that, so you bought back the chicken for $10. Then you sold it to another person for $11. How much did you earn in total?

Well, what is your answer?
I actually came out with 4 answers. Its either $3, $2, $1 or none!

Here are my reasons why.

For me getting $3, its pretty straightforward.
You start off with $8, and end with $11.
$11 - $8 = $3

For me getting $2
You start off with $8, so you sell it at $9 = $1 profit
You start off with $10, so you sell it at $11 = $1 profit
Thus, $1 + $1 = $2 profit.
Or...
Total amount earned - Total amount spent = ($9 + $11) - ($8 + $10) = $2

For me getting $1
You sold the chicken at $9 = $1 profit
You buy the chicken at $10 = $1 loss
You sold the chicken at $11 = $1 profit
$1 - $1 + $1 = $1

For me getting $0
You buy the chicken at $8
You sold it for $9 ($1 profit)
You buy it at $10 ($10 is the $9 you've got plus $1 from your own pocket)
Thus, you made a loss of $1 at this point.
You sold it for $11 for a profit of $1.
$1 profit - $1 loss = $0

So, whats your answer?

OMGWTFBBQ ROFLOLOLOL!!!

It all started with TTM...
I'm never sure WTH does TTM mean so I decided to check it out online for what it means...
And then, being extremely WOLS, I finally got what it means...
It simply means... To the max...

With so much of this infamous urban abbreviations going on, I decided to hunt further and I managed to learn more of such... well... stuffs...

We all know what does LOL, LMAO, ROFL mean. Right?
But do you know these?

LSHIC = Laughing so hard I cried
LSHILLAF = Laughing so hard I look like a freak
LSHISAOTW = Laughing so hard I shit all over the wall
LSHITHEAD = Laughing so hard I'm totally having extreme abdominal discomfort

Find the meaning to this yourself!
LSMMTUAFIMC
LSLMPAF
LSHTYFOYBAHTCFOYASCTLWYMCIASSAY

But, I am wondering, how does these acronyms, abbreviations related to laughter come out at the very first place?

LOL was first used in a teleconference room when a person really laughed out loud, that was when LOL was first used. So the person started using it since. However, this does not became popular until that particular person started using it in one of those big online services GEnie, with those chatrooms and all. People around the world started copying him and soon it became a online sensation, with people mutating it, resulting with other terms like ROFL, LMAO, LOLOL and so on. Soon this became more and more ridiculous as more and more people creates longer and longer, weirder and weirder abbreviations, exaggerating it. And then here we have it LSHIPABITFBIDKWTDWM, TYVM!

Amazingly, LOL was amongst the first few such words that was invented. If you realized, LOL came almost before all other similar internet lingo. Besides these LOL-stuffs, smiles was also part of the earlier trends. =) Knowing these lingos could save ample text character spaces (if you SMS, you'll know) they started appearing in text messages, emails, short messages. More and more of them sprung out. 2G2BT?

Twitter even made use of this! But IMHO, Twitter had only added fuel to this trend.

Besides Twitter, I believe even more chatrooms, might have contributed more, ROFLcopter was invented in Blizzard. Mainly as a keyword to slow down a game, in order to gain advantage when losing, and there might even be a lot more we don't know. But one thing I do know is, a lot of this were use as a emphasis. OMGWTFBBQ was one example. The "BBQ" bears no meaning. It is only used as a emphasis of the shocking-ness of the OMGWTF. The gentler version includes OMGWTFJELLYBEANS, and some said it was for vegetarians.

Another example is OMGWTFPOLARBEAR, use to emphasize the senseless context of the subject. This was originated in a recap of the earlier episodes of Lost, where a vicious polar bear was found in a jungle. It was so out of place that it was referred as OMGWTFPOLARBEAR.

Isn't it amazing how internet can change the way we wrote? Or how the way we even see things? It had even allow us to decipher even the weirdest of messages.

Elections - One Honest Opinion

GRC system...
Time to abolish it.

People are losing potential leaders because of the fact that some poor leaders are in the group.
People are also getting poor leaders because of the fact that some good leaders are in the group.

If all GRCs were to break down into 4 or 5 SMCs, you will see a potential change. A change for the better, and you will see a more realistic opinion from Singaporeans.

No?

A couple of months ago my friend’s cousin (a single mother) had gotten a new cellphone. After a long day of work, she placed her phone down on the counter and started watching T.V. when her son came to her and asked if he could play with her new phone. She told him to not call anyone or mess with text messages and he agreed to do so. At around 11:20pm when she was getting tired, she decided to tuck her son in and go to bed herself. She proceeded to his room to see that he wasn’t there. She went to her room to find him sleeping on her bed with the phone in his hand. Browsing through her phone, she noticed only minor changes such as a new background, banner, etc. and headed towards the picture section. She began deleting the pictures he took when she came across the last one taken by someone else above him. It shows the left half of what seems to be an elderly woman’s face.

------------------------------------

This picture was taken on a mobile phone and the little girl you see crying refused to go into the group as she said the little boy was scaring her. Thinking very little of her tantrum, the little girl’s mom (who took the picture) later discovered what the little girl was crying about. Look closely at about knee level, between the 2nd and 3rd girl in from the left. That, I suspect, is the reason the little girl was crying.

See it?

------------------------------------

I’ve been lying down for hours now. It’s 5:35 A.M. and there’s not much I can do. You know what the worst part about my situation is? I’m in the same room with my parents. They keeps looking at me, and I can’t help but look back and try not to cry or scream. Their eyes are focused on me and their mouths are wide open. There’s the strong scent of blood and I feel so paralyzed with fear.

Here’s the thing. The second I make any hint that I’m not asleep anymore, I’m completely fucked. I will die and there’s nobody around to save me. I’ve been trying to think of a way out but the only idea I have is to rush for the door and run outside the front door and scream for help, hoping any neighbors hear me. It’s risky, but if I stay here, I’ll surely die. He’s waiting for me to wake up and see his masterpiece.

You’re probably wondering what’s going on. I do get ahead of myself sometimes.

About three hours ago, I heard screaming from the other side of the house. I got up and went to check on the noise before realizing I had to use the restroom. Instead of doing the smart thing and investigating, I used the bathroom first. I could’ve gotten myself killed right then from my stupid actions. But I actually did my business and took a peek outside the bathroom. There was blood on the carpet. I got very worried and ran back to my room, hiding under my sheets like the pussy I was. I tried to convince myself to go back to sleep, that it was just some really vivid dream or something.

But I heard my bedroom door open. Like the terrified child I was, I peeked from under my blankets to see what was going on. I could see something dragging my dead parents into the room. It was not human, I can tell you that. It was hairless, with no eyes and no clothing. It walked like a caveman, with it’s back slouched as it dragged my parents. But this thing was much smarter than any caveman. It was aware of what it was doing.

It propped my dad up on the edge of the bed, and made him face me. It then sat my mother down in the chair and positioned her towards me as well. it then started rubbing it’s hands upon the walls, staining them with blood and then drew a circle with the devil’s pentagram in it. This thing had made what it would probably call a masterpiece. To finish it off, it scribbled a message onto the wall that I could not read in the darkness.

It then positioned itself under my bed, waiting to strike.

The scariest thing is now, my eyes have adjusted to the darkness since then and I can read the message on the wall. I don’t want to look at it, because it’s terrifying to think about. But I feel I need to see it, before I’m killed.

I peek at the creature’s masterpiece.
”I know you’re awake.”

Recently, or rather, a few months ago, my colleague showed me this site...

This website talks about the weird phenomenons in the world, the theories, conspiracy and all the stories, analyses, that might make people ponder over what they said. It kind of make us look at the world in almost a different perspective...

There is a couple of articles that caught my attention, particularly the Time Wave Theory, or those related to 2012 - Doomsday Starting; Doomsday 2012, and the articles related to 911 - Pipeline to 911; Mossad Link; 911 Aftershock; Israeli Vans.

Do you think the world is really coming to an end?
Do you believe 911 is a inside job?

This website is worth a read, I would say, unless you are easily disturbed by these articles.

***The bluish-greenish words are actual links to the articles...***

Games

The contract had just stepped into the 4th month.
Afterwards it will left me with two one paths...

I actually took a effort to count the number of people who ask me to take a turn "for the better" instead of going on the straight path, and its over 15 people.

While those who ask me to continue, less than 3.
Thats quite a statistic... My mind currently points to the former anyway.

---

Stupid nonsense aside!
Anyway, one of my colleague asked me if I play any games...
And do I have a game in particular that I liked? Hobby etc?
My answer is... No.

I will play a game, but lost interest in it as soon as I managed to win the game.
And actually, I'm not very into computer games lah! The number PC games, that ran on discs, or floppy discs, that I've played, and completed, are actually quite little... But does 10 sounds like alot? Below are most of not all the key-games that I've played.

The first game which I'm introduced to, and completed by cheating... Over 15 years ago...

Jack JazzRabbit.



On that same Windows 3.5 OS, another group of games that was installed was Doom and the games running on identical platforms, like Heretic and Hexen... However I did not complete them until I got a copy again many many years afterwards with my laptop Windows XP...

Doom 2



The above was the only few games that I was hooked on as a kid, or at least gave a lasting impression...

Then there was this long long pause until when I had a computer much later during secondary school days... My uncle lent/gave me the following games.

Seven Kingdoms



Seven Kingdoms 2...



Age of Empires 2 + Expansion...



Cossacks + Expansion



Notice from 7K to Cossacks, the graphics had took a major change. All 3 games are very similar in terms of playing styles... Start with a few people or a village, and built your way up and conquer.

Then besides all the above, I got myself the following games...

SimCity 4 + Expansion



Diablo 2 + Expansion



Halo - Combat Evolved



Halo 2



Haha! That makes it around 10 games over around 20 years. And almost all of them involves killing. Unless you want to include the small classics like Bejeweled, Chuzzle or Insaniquarium...

Now, does these games bring you memories?

Whenever I come to my blog...
I feel something not right...
Is it a little bit too dull?
Or rather, is it very dull?
So I've decided to bring back the music.
Enjoy!
