Superstition

Here is an interesting picture. Taken in an elevator of a share market. Superstitious as always.

Earth Hour

... is it's merely a symbolic gesture to remind us that the world is dying. And that we are the ones killing it. Nonetheless, it is also incapable of what it claims to do (if not "claim", then "propagate").

One must admit that Earth Hour adverts are highly suggestive that if we stay dark for an hour on that special day - March the 29th, it'll save the world from crumbling into the depths of global warming, CO2 overload, and possibly the extinction of cub seals in North Pole (speaking of which, Canada is starting it's massive seal clubbing today. But it's a story for another day.)

Understand this, Earth Hour has its purpose to figuratively, emblematically signify the effects of human industrialisation and possibly instill a sense of awareness or remorse in hopes that it might trigger our conscience and rationality to move towards the 'greener' path.

But in praticality, it has no significance. 

LDL & Dreams Update

6:36 A.M Monday March 23rd, 2009

Here is my LDL cholesterol percentage: 3.2 % (borderline high)

Here is the photo of my recently revised staple meal: oatmeal

Here is the dream I had this morning: Someone chasing 

me on a spaceship and I had to escape using a fire tunnel. But the tunnel was so small, I got stuck. 

... such a nice way for my body to tell me that my arteries are clogging.

The Question

I will be back in Malaysia for a couple of weeks and not too excited about it.

Sure, the food is great, things are cheap and I get to drive around.

But being unemployed and all, really kills the fun that I had when I was still a student.

I'm gonna count the number of times any job-related questions others ask me this vacation.

Anything from the polite "Have you found a job yet?" to the rude "When are you going to get your ass up and land on a job?".

I will be counting.

I Don't Wanna Die on a LCC

On March 16, I will be boarding on a low-cost carrier (AirAsia) back to Malaysia. The purpose of my travel is to attend my Sister's wedding registration. 

I've heard plenty about the quality of flying internationally with AirAsia. And frankly, they were so bad that I had a very hard time deciding between MAS and AA. For the sake of saving $600 AUD, I chose to sacrifice comfort and endure extreme boredom for 8 hours (not to mention a risk of back scoliosis). But for half the price I pay for MAS, what do I expect? 

Suddenly, a scenario popped into my mind. A LCC aircrash! 

Perhaps is the Hudson River Aircrash,  or the emails circulating around about AirAsia's coverups regarding their faulty plane landings, or Qantas's exploding oxygen tank.

It would be so, so GHEY to die on a LCC airplane.

It's like buying a coffin that is on 50% sale.

If an aircrash were to happen, the paramedics picking up my remnants would surely have one thought in their minds, 'Cheap bastard, sucks to be him'.

Ideally, I prefer sitting on an airplane equivalent to Air Force One and business class.

Now that's a cool way to travel towards the light at the end of the tunnel.

*Also, a beautiful lady passanger by my side please. Flight attendants will do as well. :)

Word of the Day: FOB

I've learnt a interesting word today - FOB.

It came across when I told my friends about getting a PR.

Apparently, I am "not a fob" anymore.

Although it's perceptive to label someone a fob, I googled the phrase and found an entry on Urban Dictionary. Enjoy!
