Who can tolong who

Once upon a time, there was an Ulu-ulu Kingdom which practices market economy for most of the goods and services transacted in the kingdom. For some reason the price of d-juice® which is required to feed the donkey and other labouring animals discriminates, hence, depending on the purpose, these animals are fed with the SAME d-juice® at different prices. As a result, the Domestic Animal Minister Mr 傻废 was put under lime light. Unable to sustain the heat produced by the megawatt light, his seat suddenly caught a fire. Picking up the phone, he dialed 994…
“Hello, Bomba.”
“Hi, I’m DA Minister. My place got fire! Tolong!”
“I see, would you mind to allow us one day or two to let our team to reach there?”
“Are you kidding??!! There is fire here, and you are supposed to arrive immediately!!!”
“But, sir, you see, our fire engines cannot move at all due to d-juice® shortage. According to the quota, we expect to get it by these few days. How bout that, sir?”
“…”
“Hello? Are you still there?”

In the end, the DA Minister could not tahan the heat and was blown away as the seat exploded.

Toilet vs ca$INo

News has widely spread that Singapore has decided to go ahead with the casino plan. While there lack much information at the time of press, something for sure is that there gonna be two them up in 5 years’ time.

Despite the fact that there will indeed be casinos, the government keeps emphasising that the focus should be the integrated resorts (IR), which include shopping premises, recreational facilities, extraordinary performances and possibly an F-1 racing track, etc, to serve as the main attractions; the casino would just be a part of the grand plan. Mass media is blamed for putting the casino issue under microscope.

Nevertheless, if we were to apply the same logic we can infer that toilets in the IRs may also play an important role. They can promote how nice the toilets are, featuring designer toilet bowls, mimicking toilet in Sultan Brunei's palace, a world class combination of western and eastern art. The local can save some airfare for no longer having the need to go abroad to visit the toilets in Genting or Las Vegas. It is just too convenient to visit the facilities nearby or perhaps casinos, which are just within walking distance, to gamble spend and spend and spend; then government taxes and taxes and taxes and GDP ups and ups and ups.

Anybody can interpret it in their own way!

Anyhow, the intention is very explicit. Without casino the resorts would lack uniqueness, hence, not able to attract big players to burn their redundant zer000s in their bank book to fuel the potential economic engine. Regardless of whether the selling point be toilet or casino, I may want to ask, in a country that is incomparably clean, is the money clean? Fortunately PAS does not exist here.

News Headlines - All About Twins

• 2 caSINos go ahead in Singapore. Not surprising, but there are two instead of just one.



• Intel and AMD will launch their dual core processors this week. But here 1+1 does not equal to the performance of 2 chips combined. Most people will only be speculating for one or two quarters, I guess.



• Adobe acquires rival Macromedia and a goliath will emerge. It is like Celcom acquires Maxis or the other way round. How much the world has changed… (or is going to change?)



• Life Sciences and Physics I exams tomorrow. The former is something that is very alien to me while the latter is an open book exam testing on something I have learned over and over again yet still having trouble over and over again.

In search of Geniuses

Ok, there are 4 more days for the exam. I got 7 papers to take, scattering over a very wide spectrum of field ranging from math to life sciences to economics, the time is simply not enough. So I must find someway to relax the overstressed mind. And I find Friendster is quite interesting and it is a good source to stimulate my thinking.

On my genius list I found that there are indeed people who are studying the level ahead of others. For instance, people who passed PTS, who found Peperiksaan Terlalu Senang¹ and got straight to Primary 6 from Primary 4.

I don’t know the significance of such exam and how has those students been performing, but I think despite their younger age they really have some special capabilities which I would shamefully admit that I do not have. Each excels in certain field.

When I heard about this exam few years back, I thought it must need genius to pass it. Friendster shows that these geniuses do exist and it forces me really have to rethink how the actual world outside is. 5 years ago I didn’t think bout where I would be today or what I would be doing. Needless to say further down the road. But now I must and have to seek the oracle or the mirror of the world and get a plan.

As someone who thinks that Peperiksaan Terlalu Susah², I have no choice but to be Popeye The Sailorman and find my spinach and, vroooooom, go ahead study diligently.

¹ Exam too easy.
² Exam too tough.

Can u smell what I'm cooking?

Went to the campus medical centre again. Last time, slightly more than 1 month ago, the doctor gave me the Collomack solution to cook with the corn. I was supposed to apply it immediately after that for 2 weeks. But due to expected circumstances, I didn't.

Only when 2 weeks ago I started, but thing doesn't turn up right, it becomes pop corn. Worse! When showed to her the doctor told me it isn't corn. No wonder, I've using the wrong recipe for it. So the nurse peeled off the skin around it and prepared cold dish, by using liquid nitrogen. She says the amount is sufficient for twice, so I'll have to revisit her again next week.

In the worse case, some digging jobs might have to be done cause the soil may not be suitable for crop anymore. It has been invaded. :(

Haih.

A frog no more

When I was a 9-year-old little boy, I wanted to be a respectable and smart-looking pilot.

Apart from being able to steer such marvelous beast in the air, I also longed to travel around the world at its convenience. I remember the story of the frog living beneath the well thought that the world was only as big as the opening of the well. I didn’t want to be the frog. So whenever I have the chance to travel, even only to Bintulu or Sibu or KK, I tried to squeeze as much memories into my not-so-reliable brain. And also that’s why I picked up photography to supplement it. ;)

As a matter of fact I only traveled within the island where I was born – Borneo Island – in those days, and maybe left it once or twice in a year when having fun in the sea at Santubong or Sematan or Gerigat for their nice beaches. See, I’m a good citizen and always responded to the call for Cuti-Cuti Malaysia.

Time changes so many things that today I’m an engineering undergraduate. Today I still hope that I could travel to other places, to get some experiences. Yesterday a brother in Christ arrived from India shared with us the situation there. He was an organic-chemical people 20 years back in Taiwan but now he’s serving full time in India for the Lord’s move there. Someday, I think I really gonna meet him in India!

I don’t know how long will it take for the trip to be realised. But the exciting news is that probably, possibly, perhaps, at the end of the year, I’ll have the chance to visit Malabon City at North of Manila, Philippines with the campus saints!

Anyway, it doesn’t matter where the destination is; traveling itself is already fun and exhilarating. Though I don’t fly a plane, those budget carriers are really good choices for me to hop on and soar out of the well.

i, G, then? B?

It was iMac, then iPod, then... i has become an icon of fun, cool, and whatever that associated with your mind.

Now, the internet era, the G that Google stuck onto mail turns one year old today. Not only the 1GB storage added some fun for the April fool, their revolutionary concepts makes me feel like it's April fool everyday. I've never thought some of them possible for services offered by for-$ company! Go to gmail today and there's another surprise awaits you, they call it infinity+1.

Fyi, I signed up Hotmail back in May 1998. Today my 2048KB storage seems smaller than those good old days when they didn't give any quota. So, see what has happened ever since the for-$ goliath stole the pie away?

What's next? Would it be B for BluemoonSight's owner B...? Haha.

Happy April Fool!
