Aug. 1 Solar Eclipse

Friday, August 1 is a red-letter day for eclipse enthusiasts. On that date, the sun will be partially eclipsed over an immense area that includes western and central Asia, parts of northern and central Europe, all of Greenland and even a small slice of northeastern North America.

A total solar eclipse — the first in nearly two and a half years — will be visible along a narrow track that will start over the Northwest Passage of Canada, gives a glancing blow to northern Greenland, then shifts southeast through Siberia and western Mongolia and before ending near the famed Silk Route of China.

The path of totality for this upcoming eclipse is never more than 157 miles (252 km) wide.

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are

giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants

you to GIVE OVER 100% .

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help

answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O

P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%



THEN

look how far the love of God will take you:


L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%



Therefore, one can conclude with

mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge

will get you close, and Attitude

will get you there,

It's the Love of God that will

put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with

your friends & loved ones

The Dark Knight...

THE DARK KNIGHT

Heath L3dger as JOKER

Michael Caine as Harvey Dent

Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes

Christian Bale as BATMAN

What's the story ???

Batman began three summers ago and... now it's time for him to finish what he started.

Bruce Wayne and his alter ego Batman hover on the verge of victory over Gotham City's corruption, thanks to the help of the stalwart Lieutenant Gordon and the capable D.A. Harvey Dent.
But then a grinning, horrific specter rises up out of nowhere to thwart Batman at every turn...
A devious anarchist who calls himself The Joker.
In order to defeat him, Batman will have to explore the darker side of justice and risk becoming more villain than hero himself.

Can a family man survive with his salary RM3000 in M'sia?

Can a family man with SalaryRM3,000survive in Malaysia
Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income isRM3,000 /month
(where father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose
monthly income does not reach RM3,000,
but, to make things simple,
let's take RM3,000as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has
Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100

(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)

Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100

Meals for a happy family: RM775

(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)

Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155

(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)

Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)

Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam):RM300

(go to work, bring son to school,
only can afford one car running)

Insurance: RM650

(kids, wife and myself)

House repayment: RM750

(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs,
retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition: RM80

(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)

Older children pocket money @ school: RM20

(RM1/day, eat bread?)

School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)

School books and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder: RM50

(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)

Miscellaneous: RM100

(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...

No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no online,
cannot KFC,
cannot McDonald,
cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive),
no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit!RM3,610already...

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?

How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!!
What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh...Sorry... it should beMalaysians Boleh, because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!

Please forward and comment boleh or tak boleh. No wonder so many Ah Loong around lah...

The main entrance

The Rainforest Music Festival is possibly a two faced event with split personalities.

It can be likened to a gargoyle, being as stagnant as a rock in the daytime; free and alive at night.
As a whole, it was mae up of a range of people, strecthing from babies, to elderly. These people are the life source of the festival. It is one of the main reason for being there.

Multicultural, is the word to describe the whole event. There were about a thousand plus people; unevently distributed by time and space. The distribution of the time was determined by the obvious...

When the sun is up, it provides us with a generous suuply of energy, which is a thick invincible blanket. Heat being contained under this blanket accumulated with an intensifying temperature. There was no breeze to sweep off the layer which contained this menace. And so, it was left to bake.

The Rainforest World Music Festival, a not-to-be-missed occasion, guarantees a
smashing time in the heart of the borneo jungle...

对不起。。。

我一直都很想找机会感谢你家人，他们对我的好，他们的关心，我一直都明记在心。
但是我有很多事情需要解释。
竟然到了这地步，我也不想解释了。
叔叔阿姨， 真得很对不起，我做不到答应你们的事。 我沉重地向你们道歉。

在我心里， 你们都是最好的，因为我没有也不可能得到这么好的家人。

我爱你们

Box is a Box is a Box

or..... ding dong ding dong, 110 Eleventh Avenue
(box based and box tower + textured facades)

but that the New Yorkers can hope for from it...
here comes the boxes of Mercer 40 (stacked boxes)

or ,worse... 200 Greenwich Street, aka " tower 2" at
GROUND ZERO (box with chamfered top)

but the "foster" ' s New York equation "adds up"
to so much less... the Hearst Tower (box with chamfered corners) =>...

Of course, I'm being provocative. The most worrying prospect is that
Philip Nobel is depressed.
Depressed that ( Norman Foster + London = 30 St. Mary Axe ) =S

So it was that, opposed to "heroic and original" ducks, the authors, €” inspired by the schlock commercial architecture of the Las Vegas strip, prescribed an "ordinary and ugly" alternative: decorated sheds. Exactly as mundane as they sound, decorated sheds were buildings, where systems of space and structure are directly at the service of program, and ornament is applied independently of them.

The authors nicknamed "heroic and original" buildings

ducks, after a duck-shaped poultry stand on Long Island that appears in Peter Blake's 1964 book God's Own Junkyard. These were buildings where the architectural systems of space, structure, and program are submerged and distorted by an overall symbolic form
kind of building " A-becoming-sculpture."Is Philip Nobel, the "resident curmudgeon" of Metropolis magazine, going soft already? Probably too soon to tell, but historians of such things, do such people even exist

yet? ~ may well look back on this moment and say that this was when Philip Nobel started to lose it. Asked why, they will say that it was one part Nobel, one part never-ending crisis of Modernism, one part New York Times Building and, oh, 10 parts New York.




The new Times building is even more of a "stack"
than the Hearst...
But it's not fine! Not fine at all :p

what will happen in coming 10 years of my life?

Love Contact *_*

Hold your girlfriend's hand for 10 minutes.
Loving contact lowers blood-pressure and heart-rate responses in stressful situations.
In the study, those who experienced love contact were nearly twice as relaxed as the unloved and untouched group.

Sorry, Im busy, so Im going to continue with this
