Empty..

That's what i can say if u asked me what feelings i have on this day, i feel empty.

No it is nothing about a girl, its not about my parents...its about this amongst many other things related to this topic...


I'm sure everyone here knows about his latest hit song, Sucks Banana that was directed at the headmistress of a school in Johor over her racist remarks against the Chinese and Indians. Surprisingly i've not seen any stern action taken against her but this poor man was caught for just expressing his unhappiness over the incident. Yeah his negarakuku song was wrong but he showed NOTHING false in that song and everything in it was TRUE. why isit so hard for some people to be open minded and ACCEPT the fact and CHANGE, or why cant everyone just laugh about it and don't be so sensitive, if everyone's gonna be so sensitive to every single thing and treat everything as a racial remark we're not gonna go far. He wrote the song to show how the the Indian and Chinese communities feel towards her remarks and to make a point, that we should be respected! Though it was wrong but he was left with no choice!

I think it is something i was thought as a child, you get respected if you respect another. Now i'm not targetting anyone at all, if the Malays would respect the Chinese and Indians, the Chinese respect the Malays and Indians, and the Indians respect the Chinese and Malays and every single person shows that they deserve to be respected through their modesty and honest acts this would be paradise.

And why is it wrong for someone to speak up his mind, if the headmistress could say such things without being, namewee can too! If we respect each other none of this would happen, if we're sincere none of this would happen, if we're equal none of this would happen.

Traffic Jam

So i was going through /k/ the Kopitiam section of the famour Lowyat.net Forum and a pretty interesting post caught my eye..

So has this ever happened to you, you're late for something, and you're rushing only to find that there's a massive traffic jam ahead of you and there's no way you can turn away from it?
And so you wait in the car cursing at your bad luck and wondering what's causing this jam...in most cases in Malaysia you'll soon come to know that an accident occured on the OPPOSITE road and the people on your road are just slowing down and looking at that accident and causing a jam...and then you curse yourself more...

But anyway the point is we have to be grateful that our traffic jams don't end up like the traffic jam going on in China since 14 AUGUST 2010 and as of yesterday it recorded a 9 day crawl! And merchants ended up making money from this buy selling water and food at high prices to the passengers of the cars...

The news from Google goes...

BEIJING — Thousands of vehicles were bogged down Monday in a more than 100-kilometre (62-mile) traffic jam leading to Beijing that has lasted nine days and highlights China's growing road congestion woes.

The Beijing-Tibet expressway slowed to a crawl on August 14 due to a spike in traffic by cargo-bearing heavy trucks heading to the capital, and compounded by road maintenance work that began five days later, the Global Times said.

and

Traffic slowed to a snail's pace in June and July for nearly A MONTH, according to earlier press reports.

Here's the picture of the jam



See, there are worst days out there for other people and therefore we should be grateful that our traffic jams here only cause us to be late for our meetings and appointments for like only 20 minutes...you don't wanna be calling your boss or mom and telling them you'll be late by about a week or two because your stuck in a jam rite?

So What Do You See?

1 out of 3 drivers can't guess what it means, it is a warning sign that lights up in your car panel. Still got no idea? Well its sad to say I'm one of the 3 drivers, it's a low tire pressure warning!

Yes, to those that figured it out, congratulations and celebrations, you're not an idiot as that warning sign was supposed to be idiot proof. Yes it has become somewhat of an issue as most people can't figure out this idiot proof warning that lights up when the pressure in your car tyre is 25% below the recommended pressure.

This system now is required in every car starting with the 2008 models and drivers are being urged to learn what the sign means as we all know how much danger low tyre pressures can put you in.

And I wonder how I passed my driving exam =p

Light

Like what you see?



Do you know what you're seeing?

They're bioluminescent jellyfish that live in the deep regions of the sea
There are also other species of animals that produce their own light even on land such as, insects, and fungi.

These creatures produce a chemical called luceferin that chemically reacts with oxygen to produce light!

It's interesting when you read about these kinda stuff on the internet, while reading about bioluminescence I found out that scientists have proposed ideas to genetically modify certain organisms with these light emitting genes for a variety of uses,

• Trees that emit light to be places along the roads and highways to replace lamposts thus reducing electrical consumption
• Light producing Christmas trees to reduce electrical fires
• Novelty pets such as rabbits, dogs that emit their own light
• Crops that illuminate when they need watering

I've only one reaction to that LOL

I must say I would love to see most of it come true but not much of the lighted up pets as it would just be very weird to see a rabbit that looks like this in your cage...

That's a real rabbit by the way, genetically modified, looks like a rabbit covered with some glowing toxic waste or something, anyway here's the article on it, ARTICLE

Till next time, bye!

Thinking of learning a new language?

Try ESPERANTO!

Why Esperanto?

Various educators have estimated that Esperanto can be learned in anywhere from one quarter to one twentieth the amount of time required for other languages.
- Means it is a language that you need the least time to learn!

It is the most widely spoken international auxiliary language - a language meant for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common native language.

This language even has its own flag...


So in short, Esperanto was created by this man known as L. L Zamenhof, a Polish - Jewish ophthalmologist in the late 1870s and early 1880s

There were previous attempts of forming states or countries that used this language

- plans in the early 20th century to establish Neutral Moresnet as the world's first Esperanto State.

Neutral Moresnet at that time was a condominium that existed between present day Belgium and Germany, no its not a building, in terms of international law a condominium is a territory where two or more independent powers share equally and apply their rights jointly.

- The self proclaimed artificial island micro-nation of Rose Island adopted Esperanto as its official language.

What is micro-nation?
entities that claim to be independent nations or states but which are not recognized by world governments or major international organizations.
Example, The Principality of Sealand and the Republic of Rose Island.

These micro-nations really make me laugh, for example this is Rose Island

I'm serious! That is a nation lol! With its own flag and everything!


Well who knew from Esperanto I would end up talking about Micro nations, many interesting things in this world that we do not know about eh?

HU

Okay I'm no preacher, but I found something interesting on you-tube, and I know that does not come to you guys as much of a surprise because you-tube is filled with interesting things.

So anyway,

HU

The Sound of All Sounds.



OKAY this all comes from this relatively new religious movement that began in 1965, its just RELATIVELY new with most religions dating back 2000 years ago.

So the leader of this movement known as the ECK Master, he is not the prophet that is worshiped or anything but more like a figure that is respected as a leader. This religion of course has a primary belief in GOD and. The ECK Master acts like a spiritual guide for followers in their own spiritual progress. People that practice Eckankar are known as Eckists!

Eckankar means "Co-worker with God" and it lets its followers to experience what its followers call "the Light and Sound of God.", HU!

HU is just one of the many mantras used in Eckankar.

In brief HU means God in Sufism (the inner, mystical dimension of Islam), or also means HE, it is normally used in accordance to the word Allah as Allah HU meaning (God, Just He!)

So HU lets u realize your innerself and soul and lets u get in close touch with eternal peace and with constant chanting of HU everyday you can achieve eternal bliss.

Eckists, normally chant HU for 15-20 minutes a day!

MY VIEW

I must say its something very interesting, and the word Eckankar sounds a lot like Ek- Ongkar a word used in the religion I practice, Sikhism, and it means "One God".

The song of HU really keeps my mind at ease and makes me feel a lot less stressed up! I might just listen to it everyday in the morning :D

You're A Geek, I'm A Gleek that GLEEKS!

Yes today, I'm gonna tell you how the phrase I'm A Gleek can mean a totally different thing!

Because I've discovered that Gleek is not only a word used to describe some outcast member of society in a GLEE CLUB but instead it is a VERB!

What am I talking about?

Gleeking - simply put, is the action of intentionally compressing your tongue on your sub mandibular gland this part of your mouth here to project a spray of saliva!

Don't worry this isn't a biology lesson, and I'm no biology teacher, but thats what gleeking is.

For those of you who are still blur, has this ever happened to you?

Scenario - while you're eating or sucking something, or even yawning, suddenly this stream of saliva squirts out of your mouth like a small tiny spray hose spraying water, or probably a tiny leak in a water bottle?

Yes? No?

This might help, (you're strictly advised NOT to watch this if you've just eaten)



So yes that is gleeking, and here is how you can gleek at home! There are many ways to it but i find this the easiest to follow ( I still can't do it) . Source : WikiHow

Step

1. Feel under your tongue with the tip of your tongue or your finger. You should feel one little bump, and this is your saliva gland. Technically, it's the sub mandibular gland.
2. Yawn or eat sour candy to concentrate in the gland. If you use candy, make sure it is a hard candy or gum like a lollipop or a Warhead. Mustard also works very well. You can also build pressure in your saliva glands by rubbing the tip or side of your tongue against a sharp edge of your teeth. Something about the sensation it gives to your tongue builds the pressure in the gland, like you are eating food that makes you salivate.
3. Get in front of a mirror, so you can observe if you've gleeked slightly.
4. Push your jaw out as far as you can
5. Push the tip of your tongue just behind the one bump under your tongue. Push it down hard and let go.

HAVE FUN GLEEKING!
