Strong

Chun How — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:34:55 +0000

You can be as strong as you can be,
A bird can fly as high as it can,
But no matter how high the bird can fly,
it still need to land to rest one day,
As no matter how strong you are,
you will still need to lean on a shoulder to take a break.

I might not be a shoulder that is broad and sturdy enough, far from your ideal shoulder in your mind, but just to let you know that this shoulder will be there all the time when you decided to land to take a rest.

Boat

Chun How — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 13:33:21 +0000

Ju is right, I am just like a boat going where ever the river current brings me…

I am feeling lost, dunno what I want, what I am thinking nor what is happening now. Or maybe I know just that I am not clear and avoiding from thinking it throughly.

I want to be with her and being in love so deeply with her, I am determined to be with her no matter what happened but however I am feeling the strain. It would hit me anytime of the day reminding me that her heart is not with me…she will leave anytime soon…Everytime I think of she being with her ex….or hugging together or making out…my heart just ache…badly.. its like a nightmare…that you have when you are conscious , wide awake and will never wake up from. Every morning, this will haunts me the moment I opened my eyes. She complained I always talked bout emo stuff at midnight. Do you know, it is because it comes to my mind every night when I close my eyes or my mind is free and relaxed?

When we finally got together without any third party interfering since three weeks ago, I thought she really love me completely and we would actually have a future. She been really sweet, actually cared bout me and did an effort to make things work out. But it did not last long till I noticed she would still throw me aside without second thought for dq. Eg, we just finished discussing about our relationship getting affected wtih her ties with her ex and her problems that resulted from her obsession with her ex, she straight sign in msn just to chat with him. She cant even hold off chatting with him for few hours despite knowing I will be upset seeing that. After I confronted her twice, she still continue doing it like nobody business. Aftter the second time, she came hug me. I cried and asked her to treat me like human coz i got feelings too. After that, she straight turned and continue chatting with him. I dun und. Why cant she just like tell him, “can I chat with you later? I am in the midst of smth rite now.” What so hard bout that? I am not even asking you not to contact him forever. Just awhile, at least not in front of me. But it seems you just didnt bothered bout my feelings…chatting with him priority is so much higher than my feelings till you rather me getting upset and feeling sad rather than chatting with him abit later. And you were saying chatting with him is boring and nothing to chat bout. It is always you finding topics. You even said, your favourite part of the day is meeting me and no longer chatting with him at night (the only thing she looking forward to is msning with him at nite…she would even wait till late nite 1 or 2 am in case he go yumcha when she always stressed on sleeping early)

Another things that I mind alot is she always trying to hide me. She wouldnt let any of her friends know that she is currently dating me. When her friend asked her who is she going with, she would tell them, she is going out with her roommate or just normal fren. I always felt damn cheap and nobody. Everything you said like loving me, how much you want me, those talks bout futures like child and etc, everything you do, like being sweet, hugs and etc, all these doesnt seems so real and sincere when everytime I see you trying to conceal me…the look at your face and etc…Especially dq’s fren. You afraid I would ruin ur plan with him ma which is also one of the reason you duwan to be my gf. Felt like a mistress or smth liddat. Where is my dignity? Its like you scared or embarrassed that ppl know you are going out with me.

The 10 Biggest Misconceptions We Learn In School

Chun How — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:28:18 +0000

By Paul Jury on October 13, 2009

I do some teaching, and my kids are constantly turning in essays with tragically inaccurate examples, like “When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb…” or “Even Einstein got bad grades in school…” which society has for some reason decided to convince them are true. Actually, my kids are turning in examples more like “When Edison invented the atomic bomb…” or “When Ben Franklin signed the Magna Carta…” but that’s mostly just a function of my kids being morons.

Anyway, yes, I said inaccurate, because those two statements – and many more like them – are classic instances of egregious common misconceptions. I’ll admit: before I started looking into it, I thought these were true, too. So in an effort to straighten things out – and also get to make fun of history – here comes the truth about 10 of the most widely believed misconceptions out there.

1. Einstein got bad grades in school

Um… have you heard about this guy Einstein? Famous physicist? Relativity and all that? A genius, even? I’m pretty sure little Albert could handle his business in 4th grade arithmetic. Yes, contrary to popular belief, Einstein was a top student in elementary school, getting mostly “4″s (on the German grading scale of 1-4), which idiot Americans later assumed, backwardly, were “D”s. The idea stuck because everybody loves the idea that their poor student can go on to great things. Sorry, parents, Einstein was teaching himself calculus at age 12. Your little lip-twiddling retard will be working at Hardee’s.

2. Mice like cheese

Why would mice like cheese? Processed cow milk is not exactly available to them in their natural habitat, is it? No, mice MUCH prefer peanut butter, breakfast cereals, and other things similar to the grains and seeds they’ve gotten used to over millions of years of evolution. In fact, some mice are even lactose intolerant and will die if they eat cheese. In short: f–k you, Tom and Jerry.

3. Napoleon was short

Nope. Napoloean was 5′7″, average height for a Frenchmen of the time. I don’t think he was particularly angry either, though we seem to have no trouble citing him as both the paragon and origin of the “short man’s syndrome” so common at New Jersey nightclubs. The confusion came from the difference between the British inch and the French ‘pouce’, which was longer, and made Brits think Napolean was only around 5′3″, a misconception which British propaganda was only happy to propagate.

4. Thomas Edison Invented the Light Bulb

Edison was a smart mother f–ker, but he didn’t invent the light bulb – somebody else had already done that by the time he started fiddling with the idea. Edison did, however, invent the first light bulb that actually worked well, at the same time as another guy, Joseph Swan. Edison got to be famous for it though, because he beat Swan in ro-sham-bo, and then bitch-slapped him.

5. Lemmings Throw Themselves Over Cliffs

What, are lemmings retarded? Yes, mass suicide sounds like a wonderfulevolutionary trait to have built into your species to ensure its survival. Lemmings do no such thing, except occasionally when they’re drunk at bachelor parties. This great misconception was perpetrated by none other than Disney, who, in all their evil, decided their early nature film “White Wilderness” would be much more awesome if it showed a bunch of rodents flinging themselves off cliffs. They were correct, of course, but that doesn’t make this “phenomenon” any less B.S.

6. Water Flushes Differently in Different Hemispheres

Toilet water doesn’t flush a specific direction depending on what hemisphere you’re in. Water flushes the same way, unless you’re in the middle of certain huge hurricanes, or if you crank it really hard with a dingy oar like we used to with our toilet water back in Minnesota.

7. Humans Evolved From Apes

Neither Charles Darwin nor any reputable evolutionist ever said that humans evolved from chimpanzees or gorillas or any other ape alive today (and certainly not those angry monkeys with those blue asses. They simply claim that monkeys and humans both evolved from a common ancestor that died out millions of years ago. You know, some sort of primitive monkey-caveman creature that had some smart babies that eventually became human, and some dumb-ass babies that eventually became apes.

8. Vikings Had Horns

This one hurts me ’specially. Actually, the title should read “Vikings Wore Helmets With Horns,” unless you think Vikings’ skulls actually had horns protruding from them, which I wish to sweet Odin was the case. But in any event, no, even Viking headwear didn’t sport horns – not a single Viking helmet has ever been found with anything jutting out of it. Besides awesomeness, of course.

9. Columbus believed the Earth was flat

People have suspected that the Earth might be round since as early as Eratosthenes in 240 B.C. – it was mostly just a bunch of dogmatic nut-jobs who continued to insist that the Earth was a birdbath you could fall off of if you sailed too close to the edge. So by the time Columbus rolled around in 1492, pretty much everybody knew they were dealing with a sphere, Chris included. He did get a little confused about the size of the sphere, though, which is why he thought the Caribbean was India, leading to the whole dot vs. feather issue today.

10. Different parts of the tongue detect different tastes.

What, your elementary school health class lied to you? Turns out, taste buds on all parts of your tongue can detect all different tastes, though there are slightly increased sensitivities in different areas for some people. Want proof? Try dipping the dip of your tongue into some coffee grounds and see if you can taste the bitter. As my great uncle Ralph, who lost half his tongue in ‘Nam, used to say, “Hrm rmrng rmhrm mrhng!”, which translates to “I don’t need the front half of my tongue to taste your aunt Gladys’s sweet ass!”

Police deemed that 36-year-old Shannon Jackson violated a protection order – similar to a restraining order – by using the site’s feature to attract the attention of another user.

The order previously obtained by the woman who received the poke banned Jackson from “telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating with the petitioner”.

While police interventions to halt online harassment are not uncommon, this is believed to be one of the first cases of someone being detained for a poke – one of the most rudimentary forms of virtual communication.

The feature, which allows Facebook users to make themselves known to other users of the site without sending a message, is commonly used by members to say hello to their friends, or to flirt with people they do not know.

Police in Hendersonville, Tennessee have obtained screen grabs of the victim’s Facebook page showing evidence of the poke, according to the local newspaper The Tennessean.

Jackson, who lives in Hendersonville, faces up to a year in prison and fine of $2,500 if she is found guilty of breaching the protection order. She is due to appear in court later this month.

Although the poking angle may be unique, this is not the first time that Facebook communication has led to an arrest. Earlier this month a burglar in Italy was held after logging on to Facebook while carrying out a break-in.

Crayon Shin-chan lives on despite death of creator

Chun How — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:04:49 +0000

FANS of popular cartoon Crayon Shin-chan need not worry that they will not get to see the boy any more following the death of his creator Yoshihito Usui.

Sin Chew Daily reported yesterday that there are plans to have other cartoonists draw the character because of his popularity in Japan.

The daily, quoting a newspaper report in Japan, said Usui’s family had also agreed to let other cartoonists continue drawing the boy.

It has been reported that the body of Usui was discovered at a cliff of the 1,423m Mount Arafune in Japan recently.

Police believe he might have slipped while climbing.

The 51-year-old cartoonist went missing after telling his family he was going to climb the mountain on Sept 11, and would be back the same evening.

Crayon Shin-chan, the story of an energetic kindergarten boy and his family, became popular after the series was published as a comic book in 1990.

Last MAS flight out of New York

Chun How — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:02:53 +0000

By LIM AI LEE

NEW YORK: The 19-hour flight to Kuala Lumpur which took off from here at 10pm on Thursday (10am Friday, Malaysian time) turned out to be a sentimental journey for many passengers and crew.

MH91 was Malaysia Airlines’ farewell flight from the Big Apple as Malaysia’s national carrier has decided to suspend its Kuala Lumpur-New York route.

As the plane prepared for take-off from the Newark Airport, it was given a water salutation normally reserved for aircraft making their debut at an airport.

A total 188 passengers boarded the flight, including eight members from the Malaysian national darts team who had just won a bronze medal at the World Darts Championship in North Carolina.

“We are happy to catch the last flight home but at the same time, disappointed that MAS will stop flying from New York after tonight,”said team member Sazali A. Rahman from Labuan.

Pilot Kapt Badrul Hisham Zainal Abdin said he hoped MAS would change its mind about suspending the flight.

“The United States is Malaysia’s largest trading partner but direct acccess has now been reduced to just Los Angeles,” he noted.

MAS area vice-president (Eastern USA) Malkit Singh and station manager Kamili Md Amin were present to ensure that things went smoothly. MAS airport staff and those from its Manhattan office were also there.

The New York-Kuala Lumpur flight has been operating since 1998, initially transiting in Dubai and since Nov 2004, in Stockholm. In July this year, the airline announced that it was suspending the flight from Oct 1 due to a drop in demand following the global economic crisis.

Also on the flight were Foreign Minister Datuk Anifah Aman and 13 Malaysian delegates who were in New York to attend the United Nations general assembly.

Judge denies request to measure length of husband’s intimate part

A TAIWANESE woman reportedly asked for divorce from her husband — because his penis was too long.

Sin Chew Daily, quoting a newspaper report from Taiwan, reported that the woman, in her second attempt to divorce her husband, said she had to bear with pain whenever she had sex with him.

When the matter was brought up in the court recently, the judge called in a doctor to determine the length of the man’s penis.

However, the request was rejected as the length of a man’s intimate part was “very subjective”.

In the end, the judge rejected the woman’s petition and ordered her to return to her husband.

The woman said they were married in 1995 and she applied for a divorce 10 years later.

The application, she said, was rejected the first time. It was unclear why the petition was struck out.

On complaints by his wife that his penis was too long, the man said: “I have never measured it before.”

eBay stops UK girl from selling granny online – after 27 bids

Chun How — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:26:51 +0000

LONDON, Oct 1 – Internet auction site eBay stopped a 10-year-old girl’s attempt to auction off her “moaning” granny online.

Zoe Pemberton from southern England put her 61-year-old grandmother up for sale on the auction website with no reserve price, describing her as “rare and annoying and moaning a lot”.

But she also said pensioner Marian Goodall was “very cuddly”, loved word searches and enjoyed drinking tea.

More than 20 bids were received for Goodall, but she has since been withdrawn from the site, eBay said.

“While no doubt Mrs Goodall would have fetched a princely sum, eBay does not allow the listing of any human being on the site,” an eBay spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.

“Mind you, we were impressed to see a total of 27 bids for the lady in question!” – Reuters
