Hmm, I stared at the English Tabloid, "The Sun" for a moment on this report.
Gonna be kidding right?
French Leh?
Aren't they supposed to be passionate?
Fun-loving and Wine-loving, romantic kind?
It is not as if I dun have French classmates b4.
They dun have much AP lor.
They are caring and nice guy to be with, soft-spoken and yeah.. a bit nerdy.
The accent is abit harder for us since we are so used to the American Drawl and well, English pitch and tone.
Other than that, they are fine.
I even have an online friend who is also nice as well.
Hmm..I wonder is it their sampling problem and they picked the "Dao" guys or wat?
Cant be I am so Heng to mit with these two nice guys?
hmmm...Makes me wonder too...

Actor Depp tops autograph survey Actor Johnny Depp is Hollywood's best autograph signer and Cameron Diaz the worst, according to a magazine survey.
Depp tops Autograph Collector's 14th annual survey of celebrity signers. George Clooney is second.
"Many stars become bad signers once fame and fortune hits, but not Depp," said editor Steve Cyrkin.
But he said of Cameron Diaz: "Instead of just turning down a person's autograph request, she'll just lecture them about how dumb autographs are."
TOP FIVE CELEBRITY SIGNERS
1. Johnny Depp
2. George Clooney
3. Matt Damon
4. Al Pacino
5. Tom Cruise Source: Autograph Collector
"She may be a talented actress, but she's persistently a terrible signer," Mr Cyrkin added.
George Clooney won praise for joking as he signs for fans.
"He'll make fun of how he looks in photos he's handed to autograph," he said.
Russell Crowe would have been named the worst autograph signer, but Mr Cyrkin said he had been nicer to fans in recent months.

Shopping for Shoes
Today went out with Val. Looking and hunting for shoes.
Guess wat?
No suitable size for me again.
Wargh!!
Despite the back muscle strain, I carried on searching for it.
Yeah, you may wonder, how come she is able to go out when last time she has to stay at home to rest?
Nope, I am not cheating you but, the story goes.
I was nursing my ache while playing the pirate games, then I got excited manning the ship by myself and was tossing and turning around. Then by the time the game end, I found myself with a better back...
Amazing isnt it?
Haiz..sounds like I am the prince in the Cinderella story, hunting for the right shoes...so sad...

Gaming Community
Games as we know is something we used to relax and to find new friends. This has become with inventions of new games especially from South Korea. But I realise that one of the philosphers once say that, with the existence of people, there is politics.
I don't believe in this initially until I played the games of pirates if you people have been conscientiously following.
We are like an company of pirates. The politics are horrible. People bitch about each other. Calling each other stupid during testing time. Wasting time and resources online, try to stab each other, betrayal, blood and carnage everywhere.
It is a power struggle. An reflection of reality. Who say that virtual world cannot be real?
Well, the backstabbings and those evils in humans released by the Pandora's box all exist.
I am so sick of it, though I desire to continue playing it. This bloodbath will continue everywhere even in the reality. So tiring. If the realw orld and virtual world are the same, so why do we bother about virtual world. Such a lame space.

A cute story!!
A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.
Days after days passed by,and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended....
The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?". The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???"
Moral of the story:
Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you
will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best attitude
to take! Love others even if you don't like them
True love is not loving a perfect person
but loving an imperfect person perfectly

MI:III and outing
Yeah..for those who know me...WHAT!!! You watch Tom Cruise??!!!
Who manage to point a gun to your head???
Wah...so clever..manage to push the bullet through your head and make you watch sia!!
Yeah...it is called social or group confromity mah...
I dun want to be labelled as wet blanket sia.
Anyway, the show ah..because we watch in a digital enhanced theatre so the special effects, SHIOK man!!!
But my ears actually going ringing sound...haiz....
The later parts are all spoilors or boring stuff...if you dun want to read it...go ahead and skip it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The plot ah....u know hor...is the same lah...Alpha White, male, hero, saving from the US and world from his fellow white counterparts. Stereotypical sia.
The Black as sidekick and with bias (once again).
Nerds as sidekick, sacrificing job for greater good (once again).
But what I find it interesting in this entire movie, yes, just one interesting thing is that how this movie is able to relate to technology ethical dilemma.
Yup, I dare to die by taking a philo style course on ethics in information age.
Very interesting course and I learn alot.
One thing that the actor mention is about the speed of technology. It is developing and it may developed till it is at the speed of light.
This is sychronous with the ethical decisions which must be made as well at the speed of light. Impossible isnt it? But the technology has forced us to do it.
This is no technology determinist view but rather a very rational view on the technology. It is forcing us to do things yet people still feel that we have control over technology. Like what Heidegger says, yeah, we are one of the four causalities or factors that build up technology but we are definitely not the only one shaping technology. We cannot see the other 3 causalities because we are contectually and historically situated.
Same thing, due to the speed of technology, it seems to empower only the white, male and elite. But what about the oppressed like women, LDCs and other racial groups??
Well, this movie shows it all. Those it is a bit irony that it is the show which is also a tool of technology to reveal all this to us yet in the later part, it reverts back to the hero ideology that US has always embraced.
The traitor, Musgrave, belongs to the R & W pple, believing in using technology to solve the problems of technology that it created. So ridiculous. If it is causing problem in the first place, so what makes you so sure that the solution to the first problem will not cause any problems?
The agent is himself in dilemma as well, ethically speaking.
A question that I had is that would speed be a factor in making him make such a decision? The speed of technological development terrifies him so he took such a decision?
Even though he tries to speaks from an oppressed standpoint, I feel he is benefiting himself only, the whites and elites. Nothing grand and no further details on what happens after he succeed.
The question remains: So what???
Yeah..that's the strongest thing i felt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, we girls went shopping but I still feel uncomfy dragging a burden as Xin called it, but I prefer to call as a pair of twins. Duno how to shop, wait get lost then how.
Anyway, my luck continues to be down. Every shoes that I want has no size to fit me. haiz...Poor thing ah...
I see Cowsy so sick, I also feel sad. She reminds me of how I used to be like rushing for exams. Nearly want to puke!
Saw CZ. I feel reluctant to go there but since we meet face to face and Cowsy sort of signal us, I walked over lor.
I find him change a lot. Reminds me of Jianfa. Maybe they are buddies so more or less the same.
Sort of having a fake mask on. I don't like. If you don't want to talk to me say so, no point distorting your character to speak to me, no point really. I already know what kind of person he is. I am not intruding into his privacy, since he post his blog addr on friendster and I happen to see it. I storngly feel there is no private sphere on the internet. So cut the crap of private and public difference to me.
Haha...suprisingly, no pain liao...finally reach this stage. This is wonderful. Just chunk it aside and everything will be fine as normal.
Yeah.... it is.
