Just now I watched “Heroes” the tv series in Star World. For the benefit of those not watching, “Heroes” is a new series very much like X-man where human were said to evolve to the point that they have super power.

Don’t worry, even though I’m a big fan, I’m not going to detail the story for you. In fact, I’m going to attempt giving reasons as to why it is always better not to have super power.

1) Immortality

• The character Claire just simply cannot die as long her brain is attached. She will just heal whenever sustain injury, minor or fatal.
• My reason – Do you think if we are immortal we will value our life. Sooner or later, we will see other human’s life is just as meaningless. “People die.. so what? I cannot die”

2) Ability to walk through wall

• The character DL, is able to make any part of his body pass through objects. He can even take someone else with him
• My reason – If he can go through object. I think during his first attempt, he will sunk straight to the earth core. There’s no ladder to climb up. Died at first attempt hehe

3) Invisibility

• There is this British guy, I forget his name. who is invisible.
• My reason – Master Peeping Tom. No argument there

4) Hearing other people’s thought

• The ex-policeman can actually hear people’s thought.
• My reason – People usually not so nice inside. He or she may be smiling, but inside they cursed and wildly annoying if heard. The ex-policeman will only end up not having any friends and hate mankind as a whole if craziness didn’t get to him first

5) Ability to manipulate nuclear energy

• The character Ted, produce nuclear energy
• My reason – Self explanatory…

6) Super Strength

• The character Jessica, is super strong. She was seen tearing people apart like they were paper.
• My reason – Will be permanently work as low level worker. There’s not much work in the management level that require super strength

7) Ability to talk to machine

• The character Micah, sons of DL and Jessica has the ability to control and manipulate machine. He once rigged the poll and also taking out money from ATM just by touching.
• My reason – In the end, He will find it super boring to have conversation with them machine and end up still using IRC to chat with people hehe

8) Ability to absorb other’s super power

• Both the character Peter and Sylar is able to absorb. One naturally, another by killing others and studied them.
• My reason – All the above ehehe

There’s a reason for everything. Reason as to why we have limits. By having limits, we actually know what to aim for, and the happiness that come with the satisfaction once the aim achieved will keep us going. Imagine.. those who cannot die, What will be the purpose of his life? work? no need as he doesn’t need food. family? he will only see them dying one by one. In time.. he will give it up entirely. knowledge? praying? nah!

However.. no harm wishing for the super power. But I think what we have right now is so much better and satisfying

• Self healing – consume more Vitamin K

• Walk through wall – use door

• Invisibility – People are so self absorbed they hardly notice other people anyway

• Hearing people thought – wait until he “ngigau” hehe

• Manipulate nuclear energy – use tnb and pay up end of the month. we are not using that much also

• Super strength – use machine

• Ability to talk to machine – take up programming course

• Absorb other super power – study hard.. be the top management .. boss people around (it’s technically like you own their skill also right)

Dear friends, today the mrs and I will be going back to Kedah. I’ll be back only Tuesday next week. I however will continue posting daily if the my DIGI line is available there. Hehe I have to admit, I’m already a bit addicted to posting an entry a day. So if you guys have extra time, do visit me here and drop some “hi” in my chat box. It’s always the high of my day replying to comments and chat so I’d really appreciate that. Till then.. pray for my safe journey ya

Previously in the comment of “Blog Warming Session“, I was asked to calculate a lengthy mathematical question using only my mind. Thanx to that, the rusted corner of mathematical solving department in my brain was working overtime hehe.

It reminds me though of a trick you can try on your children, or young “adult”.

Preparation

1. First of all, you must have that look like a psychic ready to posses those of weaker soul (to create that aura of you having real magic.. pretty much like the picture above minus the green)
2. Hand the victim a calculator

The trick

You – Are you ready? I’m going to show you that I can actually read your mind… ok think of a number.. any number, let’s make it harder.. any number between 1 and 100. Done?

Victim – Yeah right, ok done. (he’s thinking of number 34)

You – Is that it? I can give the number straight away la.. make it harder lah. You multiply the number with 2. Here use this calculator

Victim – ok (34 X 2 = 68)

You – What else? ok try add the result with 5

Victim – ok (68 + 5 = 73)

You – Hm still too easy.. try multiply the total with 40.. no make it 50 lah

Victim – ok, whatever (73 X 50 = 3650)

You – oh ya we had done multiply and addition, we forget minus. you minus la that total with let say.. the number of days in a year…

Victim – number of days? 365? ok (3650 – 365 = 3285). So how long do I have to do this?

You – You had enough is it? ok lah… give me the total now. no no no, make it harder. otherwise you will think I’m just bluffing. You think of another number between 1 and 100. Add that number to the total just now.

Victim – this is the last right? ok done (he choose 57.. 3285 + 57 = 3342)

You – (looking more mysterious than ever) Give me the total number now

Victim – it’s 3342

You – That is actually your lucky number. Believe me, (looking bored) and by the way your first number is 34 and your second is 57.. you can go now

Victim – WTF

/end script

I guess you must all experienced this type of trick before right? Well, feel free to test this one on your unsuspecting victim. Oh ya to know what’s the number the victim thought. You just add the total with 115 (3342 + 115 = 3457). Can guess now, which one is the first number and which is the second?

What you do with this is totally up to you. But please, for the love of God.. Don’t try to flirt with magic trick.

It’s actually one of my hobby doing tricks. Not the commercialized one like in tv shows etc, it’s just of very basic type. And yes, one of my childhood (age 12) memory involving wooing girls with magic trick… hahah why cant I just forget those embarassing ones? Oh ya to humiliate me from time to time 🙂 Suffice to say.. it’s humiliatingKnow any tricks can share? (sincere attempt to change the topics hehe)

First of all, let me welcome you to my blog. Credit given to the original designer enirtep. Believe it or not, it took me 7 straight hours to change the skin. I know that for you guys, it may only take minutes to do it, but for a complete beginner to the whole web programming and photoshop. believe me 7 hours went by so fast. So today, again I apologize since I’m now too tired to write a new entry. Let me just introduce you to my new house instead 🙂

The main objective is basically to widen my chat box since that is the major problem with the previous skin. So hopefully all my friends visitting me can say hi without the need to find their spectacle in the process 🙂

I also moved my menu to the right handside to make the loading of the content way much faster. Well for me, It IS relatively faster since I’m just a 5KB/s user. This is because I noticed that previous skin had force the browser to load all the script before the content.

Learning from previous mistakes, I also took the liberty of downloading Firefox to check the compatibility. So far, I think it’s acceptable. Firefox sure is fast ya?

All being said, I really appreciate if fellow friends can give me feedback on the new design, any bug or compatibility issues.

It’s true what people said – The more you learned, the more you don’t know. (i.e. There are so much things we found out that we don’t know)

Hey.. there’s a lesson in this post after alll. 🙂 So it’s now an official entry to my blog then hehe.

An Experiment – Can you read this?

“I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit any porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt”

This is actually sent to me via email. I however still believe that spelling is most important in a word. But it is interesting though. A few conclusion I can draw from this experiment are –

• I believe only english will have this effect since English words are usually very specific. If a Bahasa Malaysia word “Memahami” is changed, I doubt we will be able to read it – Mmamhaei

• Maybe it is imprinted in our way of thinking that what matter are only the beginning and the end. That is why when we watch a movie, we expect the ending to be conclusive. If for example, the movie had a “to-be-continued” type of ending, people tends to be frustrated with it ~ Matrix 2 etc

• Maybe we are so used to spelling error in sms that this is no different

English wise, I was very active since I’m in Standard 4. I competed in a story telling competition in both Standard 4 and 5. There was one incident I will never forget. I was in standard 5. And before going to the interschool competetion, the teachers had organized a rehearsel for me to do the storytelling in front of the whole pupil of my school. It would be some sort of preparation. I had no problem with that. I was then up there on the stage, giving all my best when suddenly I heard some voices from just in front of the stage. They were actually trying to distract me by giving comments on my attire, my look and even my nostril hahaha. They actually succeeded when I forget entirely my script. And in the middle of the story, I walked away very embarassed. The teacher was ever angry with me, but I don’t care, I actually did however win the interschool competition but lose when further representing the district. 🙂

So dear friends, do you have embarassing moments back in school years? Share it la… let’s be embarassed together hehe 🙂
