Going into High Alert

Funny enough I should come up with a post regarding this topic and interesting enough I do have material to share on it. No idea why.

Okay as it stands a few friends were discussing about a certain topic. However it would lead to some discomfort and also guilt at the end of it provided it was carried out in full. After much talk one decided to go ahead with the plan without thinking much about what would happen in the end and thus learning first hand from the ordeal that lay ahead in waiting.

Once it was done and said, the person who went all the way through with it came out and yes guilt ridden had learnt the lesson. Normally one would say yeah, learnt d lesson. This was not the case as it stands. Another followed suit when the first decided to go ahead with it and came out of the ordeal behind the first person also affected by instead more focused on the first person. In a way that was like a support to the first person who knowingly went ahead with the plan and came out burnt from it.

What came to mind on the conclusion in the matter was that instead of I, it became us. The 2nd person went and helped bore the guilt and also was with the first all the way through the entire ordeal. What made me got to thinking when I analysed the situation was that, yeah surprisingly the 2nd person went in to support, got burnt and was there all the way till the first woke up and realise what had been done after that. My guess is if the 1st doesn’t realise all the support and sharing of the burden then the 1st would be a fool indeed to not notice nor change if attempted to try again something of a similar fate.

It became US.

Cousin 1: Hey *BLEEP* are you coming for the wedding in *HONK* on the *COUGH COUGH*?

Cousin 2: Am afraid I can’t make it on that week as I have work.

Cousin 1: Well you see was hoping you’d be able to make it, as I got a friend to introduce to you.

Cousin 2:…………….

Cousin 1: Your still single right?

*Cousin 2 goes O_O!!! OMG – Usher ft Will I Am*

So all of a sudden I had this craving and decided that I’d go get myself, yes some contact lenses.

The downside, without astig cause mine is too dan LOW!!! Oh well so doesn’t bother me, the words on the screen are a bit blurry though but that’s ok with me, getting used to it since their meant for outdoor use and not for indoor or tv. So happens the trail runw as when I went to watch The Sorcerer’s Apprentice with part of the usual crew, Grace & Mike Thompson, Jeremy a.k.a. Jenny Ong and Stanley, YES or NO?

Turned out pretty good though so ain’t so bad going to the movies wearing them as long as it’s big screen though. The challenge however was to drive at night with them on. I could see the lights with the round halos surrounding the bulbs as the light is refracted giving it a nice design to look at. Wished the camera could capture such a sight though in my opinion.

So far so good so yeah I think I’ll go with the dailies unless I’m getting ones with the power corrected then it’s monthly then.

Ok wow, so it’s been 2 months since I last posted here at all. Thats nothing unusual for me since I have not posted for a long time before and now only starting again to write something at least rather than leave it idle.

Been thinking about something on my mind of late. Stuff that happened and so on.

One such is where a person who is cornered refuses to bite the bullet and return home to the family. So in order to keep on going, biting the bullet and taking on what may come is needed.

So lets go through the case. Loneliness. It can kill a person like it has to so many rich people whom have all the money in the world yet kill themselves in the end as they lost the meaning to their live as in the end money can’t buy you everything.

In this case after years of not sharing problems and heart issues with another the subject of intent started to manifest in what we call clinical insanity. A short black out period occurred and no recollection of what happened was what the person told the doctors. However due to eyewitnesses, the subject went wild and started eyeing knives and was also particularly violent. A psychiatrist who interviewed the subject later on had a diagnosis that the subject was fine and no trace of what happened earlier on.

Ok this is getting scary, not temporal insanity then what? Well to sum it from a viewpoint, spiritual attack is what was concluded for a few whom went to investigate. Years of being alone and not opening up to another from the heart resulted in such happening. It opened a window for the spirits to come and eventually breed and take over.

The saying no man is an island on their on is I would say a warning in this case. It does in what I think tells us that if we’re all alone and such we open our spirit man to invasion by the minions of hell.

Christian point of view, subject has let the spirits invade and when the next manifestation happens, is unknown as it could have been a one off event. However it is known that the spirits will come again, not the first time though. An earlier situation was reported over a phone call conversation where the subject became a totally different person. If such is the case, then the subject is already manifesting on a probably regular time frame, going unnoticed.

Conclusion: Deliverance needed. Medicine can’t fight the demons but Christ can.

To start off we say nut shell but then again the shell is a bit too small so not exactly the big idea fitting into one, and then cracking it open after that.

Start with a small thought and make it a big idea in the end as it goes on is something that as we get, we progressively grow it larger and larger. Say for example you have an idea of playing with a matchstick. Just lighting it alone will give you a small light for a few seconds and then it dies out later when the fuel on it runs out. However if you think about it, that’s just used as a starter, ignition for something bigger. So add on some gasoline and you have a fire or some dried twigs and a pile of wood and you have a camp fire.

So to start off, we have some lighter fluid and then a pile of wood, so that makes for a camp fire, add the stones around the thing and you have a controlled fire. Good to keep on cooking the food or catch of the day. So in a sense to keep it going you have to keep feeding the wood to the fire to get it fueled for. So like a business, keep the supplies coming in and people will be buying up what to use.

Now lets say you want something larger, an idea that takes the world by storm. So put the wood or the fluid/gasoline, lets say on a meadow, light the match and watch the whole place go up in flames, controlled farming or rather active re-generation for the plants like a bush fire. In a way it’s like you have something that is attention grabbing and takes people off their chairs and they are like, hey i gotta have one. The ipod was something like that, everybody had to have one, a music player small and light and you can take it wherever you go around with your music on the go and not have to worry about it. Overshadowing Sony’s walkman when it came out, snapped up more people who used it instead. The brand is here to stay.

So burning a meadow, when the grass goes out, that’s the end but hey, how about setting the forest on fire instead? Now that sounds like a war to me. Destroying lives instead to make something out of it. So crime starts here where arsonists start burning things down, buildings get blown up, towns are razed to the ground. A flaming inferno of a land which takes lives. Well it we technically used it in a positive way then it would be like nuclear energy, everybody revolutionised to a new method of energy for the planet.

Last of all, of the idea is something like a towering inferno, now a building burning and smoldering would be the best description. In a way the idea this time has become a message to people rather than to destroy or impact it becomes something of an influence. Karl Marx had an interesting idea of Utopia but he never did say it would come to fulfillment without the conditions being met. In addition human desires were not part of it the idea at all. So things like the communist bloc that took place sparked a new generation of people believing that they were all equal in terms of access to food and facilities when actually the greed in our human nature moves on to take more for our own than share it out among the people.

At the end of the day its all just a single matchstick that can start something if given the right conditions for something bigger to happen. After all in the end, we’re just still lighting matches and letting them die out so if you got a match don’t light it till you think you’re gonna use it for something bigger, other than that, it’s just probably for you to play around while you are bored.

It was my first time in Labuan. Went there for work at the hospital never the less, I had you could say, an interesting time there.

To kick start, the island is about 70,000 population and yes DUTY FREE!! Cars are so darn cheap, 80,000 for a corolla altis, 1.8, everything in, no tax, but can’t take it out or you will have to pay up the difference alright.

So the hospital was quite a distance but fear not for the taxis. The people there were nice, learnt a lot from them and so on and they gained knowledge of their products also which helped them a lot more as it goes.

Even went for seafood at one of the restaurants which is on stilts over the ocean, pretty nifty though. So that’s the great part about the place as it stands.

However my hotel room in the first place kinda sucked, no net line, and the aircon was warm, woke up the next day and said, I have to go, changed hotel and yeah, cold air con and wifi in the room, oh yes, now we’re talking. The only other issue is that roaches were running all over, but somehow ended up dead later on, so they must have been hiding the killer medication somewhere in the room where I don’t see it.

To round up the trip, chocolates, RM 8.80 for a standard bar, wait 8.80? for all different types available?? You gotta be kidding me, standard is like what, 12 bucks per block? this is 8.80, nuts. Even the imported stuff, less than RM 50 for good dark chocolate and yeah some funny brands I haven’t heard of either way. So that was my loot of the day. Precious cargo back to the peninsular DUTY FREE.

So yeah I went home to Singapore for the CNY. Did a few things back there. Hanged out with mah buddy Simon, he came over to join us for the dinner on the eve, and then off to church the next day for service. Well not much going on down there. So first day was just hang out at home and all that, then went over to my cousin’s place, well my dad’s cousin to be exact over in commonwealth stop. Nice apartment. Well have too many relatives to visit and my dad isn’t into visiting them all that much though.

Main highlight of my time back home was Wednesday, I got to meet up with Mei Shin who was flying off to NZ to start uni over there. Was great to meet up with her as it was a rare chance to meet up with a friend from East Malaysia though. So we hanged out a Changi airport for a while till it was time for her to head to departure gate. Didn’t know she was that tall, well guess what she said was true then, pretty & tall, probably guys are afraid due to her height or what.

The next day was hang out with my SG Roche colleagues. They wanted to treat me for all the help that I’ve been supporting them via online when they had questions. Well got to meet their manager there in the Roche office. Quite a nice place over there, really like the environment. Though smaller than our Malaysian diagnostic building they do have quite the facility over there alright to manage so many customers with a smaller crew for the entire island nation. Well we had quite some discussions, and turns out that not the entire gang could make it, next time maybe as it goes. We went to Vivo and had German pork sausages and yes PORK KNUCKLE. It was HUGE. Ate till I practically dropped alright and the sauerkrat, that hit me good up the nose alright for sure though i can guarantee that one.

Friday wasn’t much. Had a phone call from the office regarding a site which had some problems and needed following up. Since I was in Singapore I was out of the picture and couldn’t help with the support. After that in the evening we went to inspect the new place that my pa and ma will be moving too, 29th story, nice and high up though I can now hear the train down below though, not as loud, least you can see some of the ocean from there alright. Least it’s nice to have a place of their own for once now in Singapore since their there to stay for a long long time as  it goes.

Saturday back to KL again, so it was a Saturday to Saturday affair for me in Singapore. Was a great time and I have to go back down again first week of March for the actual house shift though. This time I’ll be driving down instead of taking the buus though.

I was in the office and thought, I need to get the car service. So I booked in half day PM for the slot then I called up the center as my colleagued said when, if you take the leave then it’s when you booked the service. As it was going to be on a Friday, the only slot they had was 8am in the morning. Changed the leave to a full day and just in time the HR e-mailed that in lieu of CNY being on Sunday, there would be no half day for the Chinese people in the company. Alright so we have the plans laid out.

So it begin as any other morning on that Friday, I got my gear hopped it and drove to the service center in Damansara. Now as I was about to reach the flyover at 1 Utama, in the distance a police cruiser was speeding away. Normally you would see any police vehicles going around the same speed as you or cruising leisurely on the right lane of any other lane for normal patrols. This time it was zooming ahead as if there was an emergency.

Then I get a phone call. Previous day I updated a site with a new generation of a test and didn’t remove it. Was suppose to be show and tell and my part I forgot to follow it up properly. So as I was turning into the center I was constantly on the phone with my colleagues confirming that I needed to do to help them solve the issue which was later managed to be solved by the user on their own part and also another colleague who was more senior than me followed up. I parked my mpv, got down and still was on the phone, a police siren could be heard in the distance and that was very strange. Before anyone knew it, hard braking screech and a crash took place just outside the center.

A mercedes benz just crashed into a lorry and the occupants in shirt and track suit alighted, looked around in fear and ran round the service center. A patrol cruiser pulled up. A cop with a MP5 got down and gave chase while the other person inspected the vehicle, the first guy ran round a bit and got back into the car and it reversed and headed round the block.

Car jacking first thing in the morning and police with sub-machine guns. One suspect was captured, the other not sure what happened as I had forgotten my wallet and needed to go back to get it, so as I was driving away, 4 officers were talking to a person in a blue shirt while they were standing over one of the suspects.

That was probably the owner who’s car got jacked. Due to the efficiency of the police, by the time I got back to the service center the 2 vehicles were gone and so were the police. Now that’s a quick clean up alright.

A facebook group which a friend joined recently was title, Girls Get Period Pains, Why Don’t Boys Get a Kick in the Balls Once a Month. So this really sparked me to think about it and the consequences of such. Now the pains that come with it for girls is yes quite unbearable at times when it is heavy, hence it hurts a ton. Well if we were to go down to the root of the pain, we have actually tissue and blood vessels which are being purged from the body. Basically it’s renewable once a month. This is to ensure that the conditions for pregnancy are optimum and ideal when the foetus starts to develop. I think God made it so that the kid would grow up to be a healthy fellow. Anyway since it’s basically regeneration that takes place, once the new lining is in place the pain goes and subsides. Thus the cycle goes on and on with the discarding of the old tissue and replacement of the new ones. Child bearing isn’t easy, even in a biological state, there needs to be an optimum condition for the new born to grow and develop. Now if such was not present we’d have a lot of physically and mentally and probably death in most cases if the new child is born. Fresh tissue and blood is to ensure the optimum amount of blood and oxygen is circulated to the foetus during development. They are born and grow up healthy hence a delicate environment for that to happen is required. Nature has it’s ways. Yes the pain is due to the nerve endings there which are hidden further in so not affected as the outer lining is the only part that goes during the cycle.

Now kicking the guys in the balls once a month. Is a different thing. Unlike females, the parts for males are basically permanent. Damage it and we see effects for life. So kicking once a month is likely to cause nerve damage and probably failure of parts. Production, vessels bursting, internal bleeding, we’re talking practically damage that cannot be reversed as it wasn’t meant to regenerate like what females have. So if you want to even out the pain between the genders, fine, just that we’d have less people in the world at the rate the kicking is going. Humanity is in peril though since if the pain is to be shared equally then we’ll probably have a very empty planet in a few generations time. Ok low down on the pain. The pain the guys feel is actually very different. For the girls, the pain basically makes it hard to do things, but u can still walk around, talk and do some light work that isn’t going to tax  you out. For the guys on the other hand, it’s called a paralysing pain, practically immobilised on the floor, you can’t make him get up, you can’t get him to respond, you can only drag him round or carry him around, that’s all you can do, hence which is worse one that makes the person a deadweight or one that makes the person just to be monitored only and nothing much. Well kick the balls right and we have a funeral at the end of the day.

So before you try joining some dumb group on facebook to show your support for a particular idea, remember to find out more behind the actions and the affected topics. You could just be telling everybody we should screw ourselves over for all you know.

Well I’ve always wanted to get something light and easy to carry around to surf the net when there is a wifi spot available. For example like ur favourite mamak has wifi, well practically a lot of these places in the city have wifi nowadays. No idea how that popular and so on.

So whether it may be at the airport or a starbucks or somewhere with just a wifi hotspot you can just download your e-mail, check the latest updates like the weather, check your news or even yes the stock market if you do like to follow the trends or if you have some money invested in there. Now a laptop would be handy as it comes with all the required processing power and applications that you can use while viewing what you need online. The only issue is that the battery life isn’t that great unless u get Acer’s new one which so call “boasts” of 8 hours when we all know that windows sucks the life out of any living pc on the market. Hence a phone with the similar capabilities and longer batt life would be the best choice.

Now the only issue is that a phone has a small screen. Not that we all like small screens where we can hardly see a thing. So we have a few models of which I narrowed down the few that I went out to seek. Blackberry was out of the question for me as after watching the videos I wasn’t at all impressed by what they had to offer in the youtube videos hence i had to seek alternatives. Two brands came to mind, of which one was HTC and the other Apple. The iphone is a good choice for a lot of people, nice and easy to use, not much of a fuss on it since OSX does make it easier for people to load the applications they want and so on. Not to mention the games and over all the function is good for a lot of people to the new age of PDA smart phones.

Well the short fall was the lack of bluetooth at that time compared to now and also a lot of people wanted to have the secondary camera for video calls. I know that well cause a lot of hearing disability people were looking at the phone also. I had to entertain around 4 or more potential customers who were all signers. Now without the video function they weren’t too happy but the Assisted-GPS did prove to be much better since it would have been easier to get them to meet up with one another at a set point. Battery life, dies in a day due to heavy usage, had complains from one business man about how he had to re-charge it 3 times a day. It’s to be expected when you have a high performance phone that is on the way to being a pc or trying to replace it.

Now moving on the other was the HTC HD 2 that supports winmo 6.5. I was highly interested in the winmo system as it replicates windows and that would mean more general extensions for the phone and web pages. The interface is much more complicated to use compared to the iphone’s apps on the spot loading with the pages. It has the same touch technology, so no using a stylus or a pen to move about in it. Need to warm up my fingers more as a finger nail doesn’t work either. So I do like the screen as it’s wider, a 4.3 inch screen with lots of room to go round and see. Well facebook loads nicely just that not all of the scripts work that well for the apps I run on the normal lappy though. It’s got wifi, harder to install applications like games so I dont’ mind that, not a fan of games on the phone, the music player has windows media player so I can sync and yes not forgetting outlook also for my contacts. It’s a bit crazy but it acts as a wifi router also for other systems.

Pitfall is yet again the battery life, runs out fast and the bluetooth is a bit tedius, u need to like pair it with the other device first before you can receive anything from the other person and so on.

Bottomline. I’m a proud owner a HTC HD 2 and loving it.
