3 men were walking on a wall.
Feeling, faith and fact.
When feeling had an awful fall and faith was taken back.
So close to faith was feeling he stumbled and fell too.
But fact remained and pulled faith back and faith brought feeling too.

Ten Commandments for Peace of Mind
How to attain at mental peace
1. Do not interfere in others' business unless asked
Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic, and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction.
This kind of attitude on our part denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God, for God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because they are prompted to do so by the Divine within them. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business and you will have your peace.
2. Forget and forgive
This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often nurture ill feeling inside our heart for the person who insults or harms us. We foster grievances, which in turn results in loss of sleep, develops of stomach ulcer, high blood pressure and many other ailments that stealthily gnaws us from within.
We forget that the insult or injury was done to us once but by nourishing the grievance we go on excavating the wound forever. Therefore it is essential that we cultivate the art of forgiving and forgetting. Believe in the justice of God and the doctrine of Karma. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forget, forgive, and march on.
3. Do not crave for recognition
This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motive. They may praise you today because you are rich and have power but no sooner you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and start criticizing you.
Moreover, each person is a mortal with a bundle of defects in them. No one individual is picture perfect. Then why do you value the words of praise of another mortal like you? Why do you crave for such false recognition and lose your peace of mind if the world does not praise you? Believe in yourself. People's praises do not last long and are not worth it. Do your duties ethically and sincerely and leave the rest to God.
4. Do not be jealous
We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know you work harder than your colleagues in the office but they get promotions, you do not. You started a business several years ago but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in every walk of life. Should you be jealous? No, remember everybody's life is shaped by his previous Karma that has now become his destiny. If you are destined to be rich, not all the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere, but will only give you restlessness.
5. Change yourself according to the environment
If you try to change the environment single handedly, the chances are you may fail. Instead, change yourself to suit the environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has remained unfriendly for you, will mysteriously appear to be congenial and harmonious.
6. Endure what cannot be cured
This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations and accidents that are beyond our control. We must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully thinking, "God will it so, so be it". God's logic is beyond our comprehension. Believe it and you will gain in patience, in inner strength, in will power.
7. Do not bite more than you can chew
This maxim should be always remembered. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable to carry out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. If you have extra time, then spend it in an inward life of prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind, which make you restless. Fewer the thoughts, greater is the peace of mind.
8. Meditate regularly
Meditation makes the mind thoughtless. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour every day, you will tend to become calm during the remaining twenty-three and a half hours. Your mind will not be disturbed as much as before. You must gradually increase the period of daily meditation. You may think this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will turn out more work in less time.
9. Never leave the mind vacant
Empty mind is the devil's workshop. All evil deeds start in the mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more - money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or temple work may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even if you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name (japa).
10. Do not procrastinate and never regret
Do not waste time in wondering "should I or shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Always remember God has His own plan too. Value your time and do things. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can rectify your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET! Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Take it as the will of God. You do not have the power to alter the course of God's will. Why cry over the spilt milk?

Leet
Leet is the all-alpha translation of "l33t" (the "3" is represented as a backwards "E"), broken down as "l" and "33t," and thus "elite." "leet" doesn't exactly become "elite" until you know how it breaks down. It is an online culture or attitude sometimes identified by frequent use of leetspeak (l33t5p34k, 133t, 1337, or l33t).
Example
# "WHeRE @Re J00" or "Wh3re aer j00?" for "where are you"
# "wH4+'S j00R nAME" for "what is your name"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
Example
# "WHeRE @Re J00" or "Wh3re aer j00?" for "where are you"
# "wH4+'S j00R nAME" for "what is your name"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
m i a noob?
A newbie (also spelled noob, newb, or n00b in the leetspeak of internet culture) is a to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the internet, where it might refer to new users of a game, a newsgroup, the World Wide Web itself, or an operating system.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noob
Got to be a noobs or just another idiot. My driving license expired and yet I don't know about it, then I was driving without license for about 2 months. One day my father ask me about my driving license when I was planning to drive long distance, to my surprise, it has been expired. Quite fortunate that no police officer stops and checks my license.

Fancy Stuff - Dec 2005
Fancy Lighting Feeds the Consumer
Vlacom outdoors has introduced these new lighting posters to help the sale of liquor (like it needed it) and other goods. These lighting techniques will be used on the massive advertising billboards and such. It is already being used in the Netherlands to sell Netherlands stuff.
iPod nano Video Video
What could make the iPod video even better than it already is? Shrink the size of the screen to just over an inch. Sure, smaller is better, but watching a video on an already-tiny iPod nano? Seems a bit pointless. This feat was done with the help of Linux-powered Podzilla. Remember, kids, with Linux, anything is possible.

Nethrone Workstation: Torture Device?
This is not a torture device. You have to trust us on this one as much as you are tempted not to. The Nethrone is a crazy-looking ergonomic device that looks like a dentist's chair designed for comfortable computing. Leaning back in the comfy leather seat and looking up at the screen keeps you from straining your neck as much as you normally would using a computer. Designer Eran Baruhe wants you to have complete comfort and control over your experience in the Nethrone, so nearly every part of the thing is adjustable to make you relaxed and comfortable. Comfort doesn't come cheap, though, so be prepared to shell out $2500 for the Nethrone when it comes out in January, 2006.

ROKR E1 Ranked Among The Worst Products Of 2005
ROKR E1 Ranked Among The Worst Products Of 2005
ROKR E1: The Oakley Thump of the mobile phone set; at least it's a decent phone. The hype around "The First iTunes Phone" created unfulfillable expectations. It's not as polished as an iPod, and its oddly limited music storage makes a mediocre player even worse. Glacially slow music-transfer speeds put the final nail in this coffin. Sony Ericsson sells a much better MP3-phone combo, but I suggest a shuffle and a RAZR phone: Cheaper-and better, too.

Feel like hitting the wall with my head now since I just got a Motorola E398. Motorola ROKKR E1 is actually E398 + iTunes. Wonder whether this means my E398 is also a worst product of 2004

King Kong Island Home Is Pure Fantasy
King Kong Island Home Is Pure Fantasy, Ecology Experts Say
Stefan Lovgren
for National Geographic News
December 14, 2005
The massive star of the new movie King Kong, which opens today, effectively apes real gorillas. But the bizarre assortment of wildlife on the creature's island home seems to be from out of this world.
As seen in the remake of the 1933 film classic, Skull Island is supposed to lie somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
In the island's jungles roam a wide array of dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus rex; aggressive, 3-foot (90-centimeter) cockroaches; bloodthirsty car-size crabs; and, of course, Kong, a 25-foot-tall (8-meter-tall) silverback gorilla who lives alone in his mountain hideaway.
It's a world that violates most of modern science's evolutionary rules.
"The notion that dinosaurs could survive on a tiny mid-oceanic island is preposterous," said John Terborgh, a professor of environmental science at Duke University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
"Islands, even moderately large ones, are notoriously devoid of large predators," he said. "The two largest predators on Cuba are a lizard and the red-tailed hawk. The whole notion of apex predators on islands is fantasy."
Island Laboratory
The giant gorilla presumably evolved in isolation on Skull Island, though this is never explained in the movie.
Islands, as Charles Darwin said, appear to be nature's laboratory, where experiments are carried out with species that travel from the mainland.
"The first experiment is titled, Can you survive on this place that is different in every way from the mainland or other island from whence you came?" marine science expert Dennis Kelly said. "Most species probably do not survive this experiment."
But those that do survive often change over time to fill an ecological niche that exists on those islands.
"If a species is small—usually very small—it can actually increase in size [via a phenomenon] called gigantism," said Kelly, a professor at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California California's Santa Cruz Island scrub jay, for example, is up to a third larger than mainland jays.
"[But they can't grow] by too much … due to the often limited resources and space on any island," Kelly said.
Other species, such as the tiny island fox of California's Santa Rosa Island, may shrink—a trend known as dwarfism.
In the process of growing larger or smaller, a few species may change their basic structures—birds may become flightless, for example. But no species would grow as huge as director Peter Jackson's great ape.
"Kong is obviously not a realistic representation of an island species," said Stanley Temple, a wildlife ecology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Primates don't often get to remote islands.
"I can think of no evolutionary advantage for an island primate to become larger than its ancestor," he added. In fact, the opposite would be more likely.
"Think about the small Homo species recently discovered," Temple said, referring to the "hobbit" species of early human (Homo floresiensis) recently found on Flores Island in Indonesia.
"Larger animals have smaller populations than smaller animals, so a population of giants on an island would be small in numbers and, hence, more vulnerable to extinction than a smaller-sized animal."
Many species are particularly vulnerable on islands because the animals have evolved in the absence of competitors, predators, and parasites and have thus lost their defenses.
Chest Beating
Granted, King Kong is not meant to be scientifically dissected. The filmmakers deliberately changed some of their animals' anatomies.
The T. rex, for example, has claws with three fingers instead of the scientifically correct two—an homage to the original movie, in which the dinosaur had an extra finger.
But the filmmakers did set out to portray King Kong himself as realistically as possible.
"It's based on a silverback gorilla, absolutely," Richard Taylor, the head creatures designer for the movie, said in a telephone interview from New Zealand, where his Weta workshop is based.
In the 1933 movie, Kong walks around on two feet, beating his chest with clenched fists. The modern Kong—like his real-life counterparts—walks on his knuckles and feet and beats his chest with cupped hands.
The new Kong, however, is shown standing straight up on his rear legs and beating his chest, something that a real gorilla can't do to the same extent.
Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies, was outfitted with motion sensors to provide the movement and voice for Kong. He also, with the help of 132 sensors, controlled the ape's facial expressions.
To learn how mountain gorillas walk, communicate, and interact, Serkis studied gorillas in one of their natural habitats in Rwanda.
Like Kong, real-life male silverback gorillas are fiercely protective of their females and young. If confronted by a hunter, silverbacks may stay behind and position themselves between the hunter and the fleeing gorilla family.
Frans de Waal is a primatologist at Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He says Kong appears "more humanlike than gorillalike," based on the movie previews he has seen.
"The few scenes I have seen have too much direct eye contact by King Kong," de Waal said. "Gorillas almost never stare straight into the eyes of anybody."
Then there is the distinctive gorilla odor.
"The film audience misses out on this," de Waal said. "[It] must be powerful coming from an oversized gorilla. I'm curious if the girl [played by Naomi Watts] will faint."

The giant gorilla presumably evolved in isolation on Skull Island, though this is never explained in the movie.
Islands, as Charles Darwin said, appear to be nature's laboratory, where experiments are carried out with species that travel from the mainland.
"The first experiment is titled, Can you survive on this place that is different in every way from the mainland or other island from whence you came?" marine science expert Dennis Kelly said. "Most species probably do not survive this experiment."
But those that do survive often change over time to fill an ecological niche that exists on those islands.
"If a species is small—usually very small—it can actually increase in size [via a phenomenon] called gigantism," said Kelly, a professor at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California California's Santa Cruz Island scrub jay, for example, is up to a third larger than mainland jays.
"[But they can't grow] by too much … due to the often limited resources and space on any island," Kelly said.
Other species, such as the tiny island fox of California's Santa Rosa Island, may shrink—a trend known as dwarfism.
In the process of growing larger or smaller, a few species may change their basic structures—birds may become flightless, for example. But no species would grow as huge as director Peter Jackson's great ape.
"Kong is obviously not a realistic representation of an island species," said Stanley Temple, a wildlife ecology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Primates don't often get to remote islands.
"I can think of no evolutionary advantage for an island primate to become larger than its ancestor," he added. In fact, the opposite would be more likely.
"Think about the small Homo species recently discovered," Temple said, referring to the "hobbit" species of early human (Homo floresiensis) recently found on Flores Island in Indonesia.
"Larger animals have smaller populations than smaller animals, so a population of giants on an island would be small in numbers and, hence, more vulnerable to extinction than a smaller-sized animal."
Many species are particularly vulnerable on islands because the animals have evolved in the absence of competitors, predators, and parasites and have thus lost their defenses.
Chest Beating
Granted, King Kong is not meant to be scientifically dissected. The filmmakers deliberately changed some of their animals' anatomies.
The T. rex, for example, has claws with three fingers instead of the scientifically correct two—an homage to the original movie, in which the dinosaur had an extra finger.
But the filmmakers did set out to portray King Kong himself as realistically as possible.
"It's based on a silverback gorilla, absolutely," Richard Taylor, the head creatures designer for the movie, said in a telephone interview from New Zealand, where his Weta workshop is based.
In the 1933 movie, Kong walks around on two feet, beating his chest with clenched fists. The modern Kong—like his real-life counterparts—walks on his knuckles and feet and beats his chest with cupped hands.
The new Kong, however, is shown standing straight up on his rear legs and beating his chest, something that a real gorilla can't do to the same extent.
Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies, was outfitted with motion sensors to provide the movement and voice for Kong. He also, with the help of 132 sensors, controlled the ape's facial expressions.
To learn how mountain gorillas walk, communicate, and interact, Serkis studied gorillas in one of their natural habitats in Rwanda.
Like Kong, real-life male silverback gorillas are fiercely protective of their females and young. If confronted by a hunter, silverbacks may stay behind and position themselves between the hunter and the fleeing gorilla family.
Frans de Waal is a primatologist at Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He says Kong appears "more humanlike than gorillalike," based on the movie previews he has seen.
"The few scenes I have seen have too much direct eye contact by King Kong," de Waal said. "Gorillas almost never stare straight into the eyes of anybody."
Then there is the distinctive gorilla odor.
"The film audience misses out on this," de Waal said. "[It] must be powerful coming from an oversized gorilla. I'm curious if the girl [played by Naomi Watts] will faint."
New Software In The Market Called Wife 1.0
Dear Tech Support:
Last year, I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0.
I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.
I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0 . Please help!
Thanks,
A Troubled User.

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about.
Many people upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!!
It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings -
- Alimony
- Child Support.
I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation. The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2.
However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0
WARNING!!! DO NOT under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck!!

Definition and comparison of DVD video formats
Definition and comparison of DVD video formats
DVD stands for Digital Versatile/Video Disc
DVDR stands for DVD Recordable
DVDRW for DVD ReWriteable.
There are three competing DVD Recording standards, DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W have pretty similiar features and are compatible with many standalone DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs while DVD-RAM has less DVD Player and DVD-ROM compatibility but better recording features.
1)DVD-R and DVD-RW
DVD-R/W was the first DVD recording format released that was compatible with standalone DVD Players.
DVD-R is a non-rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 93% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD-RW is a rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 79% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD-R/W supports single side 4.37 computer GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double sided 8.75 computer GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).
These formats are supported by DVDForum.
2) DVD+R and DVD+RW
DVD+R/W has some "better" features than DVD-R/W such as lossless linking and both CAV and CLV writing.
DVD+R is a non-rewritable format and it is compatible with about 88% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD+RW is a rewritable format and is compatible with about 79% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
DVD+R/W supports single side 4.37 computer GB* DVDs(called DVD-5) and double side 8.75 computer GB* DVDs(called DVD-10).
These formats are supported by the DVD+RW Alliance.
DVD+R DL or called DVD+R9 is a Dual Layer writeable DVD+R. The dual layered discs can hold 7.95 computer GB* (called DVD-9) and dual layered double sides 15.9* computer GB (called dvd-18).
3) DVD-RAM
DVD-RAM has the best recording features but it is not compatible with most DVD-ROM drives and DVD-Video players. Think more of it as a removable hard disk. DVD-RAM is usually used in some DVD Recorders.
This format is supported by DVDForum.
DVD Sizes, What is DVD-5, DVD-10, DVD-9 and DVD-18?
How much does a DVDR/W fit? Is it 4.7GB or 4.38GB? 8.54 GB or 7.95 GB?
The DVD sizes can be a bit confusing. There are basicly 4 different dvd sizes,
DVD-5, holds around 4 700 000 000 bytes and that is 4.37GB.
DVD+R/W and DVD-R/W supports this format. Also called Single Sided Single Layered.
DVD-10, holds around 9 400 000 000 bytes and that is 8.75GB. DVD+R/W and DVD-R/W supports this format. Also called Double Sided Single Layered.
DVD-9, holds around 8 540 000 000 bytes and that is 7.95GB. DVD+R supports this format. Also called Single Sided Dual Layered.
DVD-18, holds around 17 080 000 000 bytes and that is 15.9GB. DVD+R supports this format. Also called Double Sided Dual Layered.
Other non-standard special DVD formats:
DVD-VCD - is basicly a VCD authored on a DVDR/W. DVD supports the VCD resolution but the audio has to be resampled to 48 khz. If the audio is resampled to 48 khz it is standard DVD-Video.
DVD-SVCD - is basicly a SVCD authored on a DVDR/W. DVD do not supports the SVCD resolution but it may anyway work and the audio has to be resampled to 48 khz like the DVD-VCD.
DVD-MP3 - is MP3s burned on a DVDR/W but very few MP3 capable standalone DVD Players supports it because most Players verify DVDR/W as DVD-Video only.
DVD-ISO - is MPEG,MPG,VOB files burned on a DVDR/W without any DVD Authoring (making the vob,ifo files) but very few standalone DVD Players supports it because most Players verify DVDR/W as DVD-Video only.

A visionary, vision is scary
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution.
How to start a scary vision?
Where is Freddy Kruger? Come on, give me some scary vision.
Don't wear the old latex mask; don't you know we got plastic surgery?
Come, go lead a normal life.

I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
Testing "Attention Please"
Nothing is fair, come on, grabs a gun, and tries to frag me down in Doom
I am not the greatest, not the oldest, at least I m useless

Football Manager 2006
Football Manager 2006 is out and there was I, desperate to prove my football management skill again. So I found myself can't live without it, kind of social retarded person. If anyone were to ask me out, guess you would know my answer, sorry guys.
An interesting comment from TrustedReviews - The UK's Premier Source for IT Reviews & News
http://www.trustedreviews.com/article.aspx?head=49&page=4922
As expected, Football Manager 2006 takes the series to the next level. It expands every area, pushes every boundary and never before has such an enviable career felt so real. Sports Interactive probably never dreamed it would come so far from the very first Championship Manager title all those years ago. It has picked up millions of fans since then, but it has also lost the casual gamer along the way.

Nickelback - Photograph
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell's on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time I had better things to do
Criminal records said I've broken twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if its too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I woulndnt let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh god I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on the bedroom floor
Its hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
Remember that old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday wed find out how if feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh oh oh
Oh god I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo that was printed on my bedroom door
Its hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
I miss that town
I miss the faces
I can't erase it
I can't replace it
I miss it now
I cannot believe it
So hard to stay
So hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo that was printed on my bedroom door
Its hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me

Nickelback - Photograph
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell's on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time I had better things to do
Criminal records said I've broken twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if its too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I woulndnt let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh god I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on the bedroom floor

Goodbye, goodbye

Appreciative 2005
Appreciative
# Feeling or expressive of gratitude; "was appreciative of his efforts"; "an appreciative word"
# having or showing appreciation or a favorable critical judgment or opinion; "appreciative of a beautiful landscape"; "an appreciative laugh from the audience"
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
Once there was a smooth, no speed bump road. The drive was smooth, but the residence there was not happy with traffic amount that passes in front of their house everyday. Even in the middle of the night where those new and nice car but fitted with noisy making accessories cruising around emitting nothing but pure noise. Surely this is not so good to the property value there. What seems to be a good idea back fired. Speed bump is good to slow a vehicle down, but too many speed bumps will cause traffic congestion.
Sigh, kind of lame to drive through 3 bump everyday. One day, I decided to be adventurous and try another short cut. To my dismay, I really regret it. Less traffic is good, but 5 speed bumps are too extreme for me.
Guess I must be more appreciative. Don't complain too much as I was given considerable good luck. 3 speed bumps surely beat 5 speed bumps.

paultan.org is a blog on the Malaysian automotive industry. Includes reviews, previews, tech articles and automobile howtos.
Below is what I think is quite interesting for you there to read about.
China Pirates
If you think Malaysia's state of piracy is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. China is where Uncle Ho got his MBA in Piracy. They can pirate anything and nothing's stopped them for doing it. Proton ripping off Alfa's grill for the Perdana V6 and Alfa's sport rims design for the Proton Gen2 is nothing compared to what Chinese car manufacturers are capable of.

Japanese Automakers Alliances
Ever wondered who owns who, and who supplies what to whom in the automotive industry? Here are charts of some sorts showing the relationships among Japanese automakers and also relationships between Japanese and American/European/Chinese automakers.

iPod stuff
The Queen's got an iPod
A slightly less important story appeared in the The Sun today. Apparently, the Queen has gone and got herself an iPod. Obviously, she didn't pop down to Dixons on ladies' night, but instead sent some flunkey along to purchase the player for her. By all accounts it's the silver iPod mini. Presumably it had to be the silver since the more regal gold one's not available anymore. According to Tech Digest, the Queen already has a mobile, which she uses to text her grandchildren. It doesn't matter how many times this story is reported, there's no way I'm going to believe for a second that the queen sends texts and listens to MP3s. 1 smply cnt blieve its tru.
iPod Chair Man speakers
At last - an iPod accessory idea that has legs and indeed hands. Scoring high for cuteness, as you would expect for an accessory aimed at the Japanese market, the Chair Man portable speakers are available this month in three different colours - black, blue and pink.
There are two 50mm diameter speakers built-in to the feet while the arms/legs can be moved about to secure your iPod. To use the speakers, just plug your iPod into the stereo-mini jack input on the side. Power is from a single by a single AAA battery or the mains.
iGuy - Daft iPod Case
Let's face it, your iPod is pretty sure of itself: it knows it's cooler than you, and everyone else around it for that matter. So teach it a lesson by dressing it in this get up, turning your oh-so-trendy white monument to minimalism into a goofy iGuy with arms, legs and an added key holding menial task facility. That'll learn it. There's currently a model for the standard sized iPods, but a mini is apparently on its way later in the month.
Party on with iPod pants
Courtesy of Shiny Shiny, news reaches us of the latest in hi-tech underwear for men - the iPod pants. Whether there's a demand for these groovin' garments isn't really made clear.
You don't need to plug them in or stuff them with batteries. These pants simply come complete with a small pocket to hold your iPod or MP3 player of choice - ideal for the obsessive gadgeteer who can never be parted from his player!
If you think musical pants are the future, you can find out how to pick a pair up at Shiny Shiny.

I want iPod Nano
iPod Book Cover
Now this is smart. They've taken some old-school, hardcover pulp novels and turned them into iPod cases. Because really, iPod theft may be a real problem these days, but you don't hear many reports of folks having their copies of Lovely You, Detective Fiction or Scavengers is Space lifted from their bags.
iPod Nano Wallet
Since folks keep talking about how the Nano is about the size of a credit card, I can see the thought process that might encourage you to carry it like one. At least that seems to be the idea behind Marware's leather CEO Billfold Wallet, which has a special pocket for your Nano (including headphone jack, charger access and plastic screen.)
Convenient? Sure. Well - only if you want to carry it in your jacket since it's not meant for "use in pants pocket" (and presumably would be awkward in a purse as well). Oh - and if you don't mind having to flash your wallet around every time you want to skip songs. Doesn't the iPod family have enough of a reputation as being targeted for theft without adding the temptation of a full billfold to it?
mTune
I've been trying to puzzle this one out. On the one hand I understand the wireless listening appeal of the mTune headset - just pop your Nano into the special slot and you can dance like a maniac to your playlist without getting caught up in any wires.
Podstar's Devlish Nano Cases
Is your Nano naughty? (Or does it want to be?) Then the silicon Diabolo case from Podstar might be the Nano cover for you.
The Podstar Diabolo isn't on the market just yet - but when it is, it will be available in two colors, four designs, and will include a screen protector. And, perhaps more importantly, the bad-girl image you'll be giving your Nano should help counterbalance any inferiority issues it may have due to being the smallest kid on the iPod block

Seniority
Seniority
Seniority is the concept of a person or group being in charge or in command of another person or group. This control is often granted to the senior person(s) due to experience or length of service in a given position, but it is not uncommon for a senior person(s) to have less experience or length of service than their subordinates.
More generally, "seniority" can be a description of an individual's experience or length of service, and can thus be used to differentiate between individuals of otherwise equivalent status without placing them in a hierarchy of direct authority.
Subordinates are generally expected to follow the actions, orders, or requests of those senior to them with little or no question.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seniority
Well, I have nothing against seniority rules and I do agree with the definition above, partly. There are good and bad about seniority rules.
The good.
Generally senior has more experience or work longer than their counterpart, thus placing them higher in hierarchy than those new hires is correct. The new hires will respect their senior and seek their assistance when required; the senior can guide the new hires, thus saving them a lot of time and avoid banging dead-end.
The bad.
Sometime the freshly join person have more experience than the person who has longer service length. It is kind of awkward to become subordinate under someone who is less or equally competent than you.
The ugly.
It discourages changes to the organization. As a junior, he or she is unable to contribute or provide changes to the work environment even though he or she has really good idea. After that, he or she have to work the way up the rank the old method, stay and work longer there.

Machi lyric 2
制作人阿弟仔用了大量的周星驰电影中的经典配乐和电影对白，加上 Machi 超重嘻哈节拍的诠释与麻吉弟弟的快嘴功，再请来了热爱周星星的制作人“阿弟仔”一同参与并跨刀演唱，整首歌曲充满独特的趣味性，是一首相当惊人的歌曲！除了听到由周星驰”幕后发言人”石斑鱼配上的经典的口白：“小强！你怎么了小强！你不能死啊…”听了让人发噱！一连串嘻哈快节奏搭配周星驰电影中经典的配乐加以混音，整首歌气势十足、噱头也十足！没想到周星驰也可以如此嘻哈，难怪麻吉们要高喊”我爱周星星”！
歌曲：我爱周星星
歌手：黄立成/machi 专辑：超人
小强小强你怎么了小强
小强你不能死啊!
『麻吉弟弟』:
禀夫人小人本住在苏州的城边
家中有屋又有田生活乐无边
谁知那唐伯虎他蛮横不留情
勾结官府目无天占我大屋夺我田
我爷爷跟他来翻脸惨被他一棍来打扁
我奶奶骂他欺善民反被他抓进唐府强奸一百遍一百遍
他还将我两父子逐出了家园流落到江边
我为求养老爹只有独自行乞在庙前
谁知那唐伯虎他实在太阴险
知道此情形竟派人来暗算
将我父子狂殴在市前
小人身壮健残命得留存
可怜老父他魂归天此恨更难填
为求葬老爹唯有卖身为奴自做贱
一面勤赚钱一面读书篇
发誓把功名显手刃仇人意志坚
从此唐寅诗集伴身边我铭记此仇不共戴天
小强小强你怎么了小强
小强你不能死啊!
『阿弟仔』:
一乡二里共三夫子
不识四书五经六义
竟敢交七八九子十分大胆
『麻吉弟弟』:
十室九贫筹得八两七钱六分五毫四厘
尚且三心二一一等下流
『阿弟仔』:
图画里龙不吟虎不啸
小小书僮可笑可笑
『麻吉弟弟』:
棋盘里车无轮马无鞭
叫声将军提防提防
『阿弟仔』:
莺莺蒸蒸翠翠红红处处融融恰恰
『麻吉弟弟』:
雨雨风风花花叶叶年年暮暮朝朝
『小崔』:
十口心思思君思国思社稷
八目共赏赏花赏月赏秋香
『阿弟仔』:
我上等威风显现一身虎胆
『麻吉弟弟』:
你下流贱格露出半个龟头
『阿弟仔』:
你家坟头来种树
『麻吉弟弟』:
你家澡盆杂配鱼
『阿弟仔』:
你鱼肥果熟入我肚
『麻吉弟弟』:
你老娘来亲下厨
『阿弟仔』:
年轻人你跟我抢饭碗你那个道上的
『麻吉弟弟』:还没请教『阿弟仔』:教上教
『麻吉弟弟』:先请而后教『阿弟仔』:教请而先教

Machi lyric 1
整首歌曲有六个不同的声音，有黄立成、小崔、当屁和受罪个人独特的 Rap、有 Mel 的歌声和最擅长的随性 Fill，以不同的表现方式一段段描写出 Machi 打拼的过程。中版的节奏加上振奋人心的歌词，男声与女声的对应，有态度又具音乐性，是值得推荐的歌曲。

想想我有什么成就
爸妈到六十还不敢退休
曾经志同道合的朋友
问我还在撑要撑多久
唱片业愈走愈退后
大家都怀疑这头路吃饭够不够
有人因为穿着看不起我
看不到我未来她离开我
我没有闯祸但是我却没有得到糖果
送出demo像沉进水里没回音
他们说这不能卖钱没有人听
你的年纪是那些新人两倍
花公司的钱栽培根本是白浪费
emi说滚开环球说你头壳坏
被sony当屁华纳说你不会卖
他们看我又来就把铁门拉下来
被打击看扁我也不们停下来
别人当玩票性质
我做音乐不只做一辈子
我要的是machi 4 life
不是一张叫合约的纸
身上的刺青用来写我历史
写着命运要靠自已控制
未来用我的方式
我唱的是事实不是歌词
麦克风给我就别想叫我停止
大哥不用再动一根手指
我帮他赚的绝对够他再开好几家公司
只活一次不能白活拿命换一个结果
机会一次不能放过拿命拼一个王国
我知道你是谁有什么梦要追
往自己的天空飞
我知道什么是对有什么梦要追
没有时间能浪费
要我停下来不要绕舌
就像一个人妄想能挡住黄河
为了我的梦不怕痛
练到喉咙流血脚底流脓
如果有种一定不会穷
拼到好几家公司觉得还不够成功
永远要做抓不住的龙
以前算是一个笨蛋因为高中没念完
爸爸生了这个没用的儿子
麻将桌上让他很没面子
别人的孩子都是名校我这么不孝
害他一直放炮现在爸爸一直自摸
另外三家要他儿子的签名照
以前吃便当现在吃鲍鱼翅汤
以前听校长念
现在我在八国国庆总统面前表演
我相信一条命就要一直拼
不会停的人有一天会赢
没有事情是天注定拼了你的命
石头也会变黄金

Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued
FALL OUT BOY - "Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued"
Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice ('cause we are bad news)
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose
It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."
We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
Brothers and sisters, yeah, put these words down
Into your notebook (spit lines like these)
We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet
It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."
We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice ('cause we are bad news)
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose

Brothers and sisters, yeah, put these words down
Into your notebook (spit lines like these)
We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

PIKOM PC Fair 2005
PIKOM PC Fair
Sounds like another normal place for you to get computer hardware peripheral, software and etc. PC Fair, a place where you can get many computer peripheral under one roof, who would of something else?
Well, things went a bit different albeit I went there to get some blank media, new ink jet printer, and other miscellaneous stuff. So go there with a mind on what I want to get, while I was asking around for a good bargain. I came face to face with one of my TARC PG friend, so I do what other people usually do, talk awhile with him then continue shopping.
PC Fair was quite packed on the last day with many people hoping to get the best out of their hard earned money. So was me, going from shop to shop to get a good deal. Then I bump into another friend from college, I get acquainted with him for a while. It is kind of weird place to bump into friend in this place.
After getting what I plan, I take my leave and got the car park, put all my things and ready to head home. Since it is kind of congested, I have to drive slowly. From behind, I recognize just another high school friend of mine. Driving at speed of less than 10 KM/H, I sneak up on him. When I was really close and he didn't suspect anything, I shout his name. He was kind of shock, but reacted fairly well. We just talk for few seconds and I am off cause there are cars behind me and I don't want to cause any congestion.
So much for computer peripheral under one roof, it seems more to be a place to go and bump into long lost friend. Can't say I just go there to get computer hardware, I must say I go there for 2 purpose, to seek good bargain and to seek long lost friends.
Can't wait for the next PC Fair.

My contract status
I started working in Motorola from April 10 2005 and my current contract is due on January 10 2006. This means that in 1 month's time, my contract will end, my question here is: am I going to be offered new contract and continue to work here? Or am I going to be converted to permanent? Or Jan 10 2006 will be my last day working here?
Whatever the outcome will be, I will respect the managerial decision and I won't make a fuss out of it. It has been nice to contribute here; I have learned many things, gain some experiences and earn some acknowledgement from peers. It feels good to wear the Motorola uniform to work everyday, I am proud to be part of the Motorola Family.
If my work performance is below par of what is expected from Motorola employee, I would understand if I didn't get anymore opportunity to be here. Kindly inform me earlier so that I can plan for my future else where. Please don't let me know last minute and make me disorganized.
Should I didn't get to work here after my contract expires, rest assure that I will still contribute 100% effort when I still under contract, I won't be lazy, won't be destructive nor unproductive.
Your reply to me will be kept confidential and I will not reveal it to other people.
Thank you.
