3 easy steps to watch soccer for hardcore rugby fans

1. Soccer players score, unlike rugby they don't try.
2. Soccer players can not use their hands to hold the ball, unless if you're a goalie, during throw ins or Thierry Henry.3. There is no sin bin in soccer, its either you get cautioned or you're out.

Just felt like dropping a quick update, too boring in lecture.
4 consecutive hours in a same lecture hall is torturous, makes me feel like its ways longer than it suppose to be.

5th week back in uni and i'm still living in the don't-know-what-is-happening land..cant wait for easter holiday this weekend and hopefully try to get myself back on track..been hitting the uni gym lately which explains my sores all over my body, some family problems are causing me some unneeded/unwanted stress.

think bout this : If it's true that we are here to help others,then what exactly are the OTHERS here for??

Bro, you got a lucky as life

Aite long story short....read the news and look at the pics...my mate is such a lucky man, we was the driver of the van, gee.... and oh all of em escaped with cuts and bruises only..disgusting part was the other driver's head was detached from the body


' A man was killed after crashing his car while fleeing police on the Gordonton-Puketaha Rd, north of Hamilton.
The crash happened on the south side of the intersection of Gordonton and Puketaha Roads shortly before 4pm, Waikato Road policing manager Inspector Leo Tooman, said.
"As a member of the Waikato Highway Patrol was leaving a service station on the corner of Thomas and Horesham Downs Roads he noticed a blue Mazda 323 being driven in a manner to cause concern and began to follow it."
The police officer gave chase but abandoned it after about two minutes, Mr Tooman said.

The southbound Mazda then collided with a northbound Toyota people mover carrying six people.

The 27-year-old male driver of the Mazda died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash.
"The Highway Patrol officer witnessed the crash and immediately called for assistance before commencing to evacuate the occupants of the van, all of whom were taken by ambulance to Waikato Hospital to be checked out. None suffered life threatening injuries," Mr Tooman said.

Gordonton Rd was closed for over two hours to allow police to investigate.

"A full investigation is under way by the Hamilton CIB which will be overseen by senior police from outside the Waikato District."

The Independent Police Complaints Authority and the coroner had been advised, but it was too early to determine the cause of the crash or to confirm the victim's identity, Mr Tooman said.
The six male passengers aged between 22 and 33 years, had injuries consistent with a crash, Waikato Hospital communications consultant Amy Thomson said.

Police and emergency services were investigating. '

Howdy all

Hey guys, yea this blog is full of cobwebs and creepy crawlies..being lazy to update my blog..but as a promise to update before 1st October 2009, here it is

Nothing much has been happening in my life except for parties and also poker nights.
For the last 2 nights I've attended 2 birthday party 2 very very different kind of celebration.
on Friday night I was at Tien and Vee's birthday party..We had like a food fest, Vietnamese spring rolls, sushi, Japanese pancake thingy, Japanese cold noodles and last but not least berry cheesecake!

Lazy to copy photos just look here.

Last night was at my cousin's mate's birthday..Tim and Rachel...the theme of the party is athletics .We were divided into two groups and we had some games, we played capture the flags in the dark, eat the cardboard, and thats pretty much it..interesting games tho..on how to play it ask me.

Copied this from BJ's blog..found it pretty interesting and true..he copied this off this month's CLEO magazine


'Don't Starve Yourself!!
Guys aim to eat better and not go on "diets"

Eat When Hungry and not Stressed!!
Most women turn to food when they feel stressed out and pressured.. On the other hand, guys tend to hit the gym instead of the fridge

Skip the "lite" and "diet"
People are more satisfied when eating "real" food. Women may eat more "diet" food in search of satisfaction but end up with more calories

Banish the guilt
Women feels guilty after not following their diet plans, while guys will feel satisfy with the results after a good workout at the gym'

Too all girls out there, don't complain that u're fat when u're not. Gaining weight doesn't have to mean that u're fat or you've gain some spare tyres, might be some muscles growning, or just growth hormones..

Latitude E6500

As promised this post will be a review of my latest toy Dell Latitude E6500. Price: Undisclosed. Got a good deal off it Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo T9550, 2.66GHz, 1066MHz, 6MB L2 Cache

Operating system: Genuine Windows Vista Enterprise

LCD Monitor: 15.4" Widescreen WXGA+ (1440x900) LED Display with Wide Viewing Angle

Memory: 4GB (2x2GB) 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Hard Drive: 250GB SATA (7200RPM) Free Fall Sensor Hard Drive

Optical Drive: 8X DVD+/-RW Drive

Video Card: NVIDIA(R) Quadro(R) NVS 160M Dedicated 256MB

Primary Battery: 9-Cell Li-Ion Primary Battery

Fingerprint Reader: FIPS Certified Fingerprint Reader

Wireless Card: Intel WiFi Link 5300 (802.11 a/g/n 3X3) MiniCard

Bluetooth: Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth(R) 2.1 Minicard

Add-ons: Internal Backlit Keyboard
Built in Cardreader
Dial-up connector

Included: Ambient Light Sensor
Webcam


The case is made of metal(according to Dell its Magnesium alloy) whole laptop is matt black in colour and the keyboard lettering is solely white. Unlike other laptops with backlit light it only glows when you press a key(there is another option where once you move your mouse or press a key the backlit light will glow). Lights on the laptop are blue including the light on the power plug. With dual navigation the touchpad and the 'in-the-middle-of-the-keyboard control' it provides users to have an option, with the hands of a novice 'in-the-middle-of-the-keyboard control' it proves to be a mission to navigate the pointer across the screen. The ambient light sensor helps you to change the brightness of the screen according to the amount of light present. Although there are still some flaws with the sensor it doesn't really affects the performance( just a simple switch on and off will fix it).

The USB plugs, card readers, optical drive and the external screen plug is located on the side which eases the need of turning the laptop to the rear unlike most laptops. Power plug and the ethernet plug are located on the rear which keeps all the 'one-off' plugs away from the side which allows room for the USB plugs. As its a 'business'laptop there is less buttons for the 'musicplayer' but that could be encountered by shortcut keys. The noise level is pretty high but it is okay once you're used to it. Speakers are located to the left and right of the keyboard with the volume set and 35-40 its reasonably loud enough for a room. The 9-cell battery is pretty long lasting, I've tried once operating with powerpoint, word doc and also normal browsing the battery is able to last for at least 5 hours ( with the keyboard light off, light set to low,and battery plan set on balanced)

The cons of this laptop is that the case is a fingerprint magnet, once you touch it say hello to fingerprints. The speakers are dust magnets you can see strand and strands of dust if you don't wipe it daily. With the matt black finish you can see dust easily which makes your laptop look a little dirty.

All in all its a good laptop for business people and students who don't look for flashy-ness in their gadget, although its abit to pay for but its a worthwhile investment.

ps. this is my 1st time writing a review plz comment
pps wecome back

next up

Next up after my exams..review on

ps. life's like a burning fire sometimes you need more logs..sometimes sparks will come out.

bros before hoes..but beer before child?!

A car driver in Australia has been fined for strapping down his beer rather than his young child.

Police said they were "shocked and appalled" when they pulled over the car south of Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory.

They said the 30-can pack of beer was strapped down between two adults in the back, with the five-year-old child unrestrained on the floor.

The driver was handed a fine of A$750 (US$709; £362).

The fine was for failing to ensure a child was wearing a seatbelt as well as driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle.

'Blank' look

The car was pulled over on the Ross Highway last Friday.

Constable Wayne Burnett said: "I haven't ever seen something like this before.

"This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child... The child was sitting in the lump in the centre, unrestrained."

When Constable Burnett handed over the fine he said the driver "just looked at me blankly".

"He didn't get it," Constable Burnett said.

"I asked him about the fact the child was unrestrained and the beer was, and he said he didn't know anything about it."

Superintendent Sean Parnell of Alice Springs police said the incident was a "timely reminder" to ensure "all passengers are secured".

Personality Test

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

I would say 75% of it is true..well try it yourself!

FAIL!

Do I need to explain this?! (click on the pic to have a better picture of the picture)

fyi. the 5 mandarin words says cute beans

Sleeping soundly 'boosts memory'

Now playing: Dzihan - Stiff Jazz [The Richard Dorfmeister & Rodney Hunter Zündapp Du]

A refreshing night's sleep may be the best way to boost memory, a study suggests.

Researchers found sleep appears to have a dramatic impact on the way the brain functions the next day.

It appears to strengthen connections between nerve cells in the brain - a process key to both learning and memory.

The University of Geneva study was presented to a Federation of European Neuroscience Societies conference.

The researchers studied a group of 32 volunteers who were taught a new skill or shown images they would later have to remember.

The skill tasks included trying to follow a moving dot on a computer screen using a joy stick.

One group of participants was then allowed to sleep normally for eight hours, while others were deprived of sleep or only permitted a nap.

The next day they were asked to repeat the tasks or recall the images while their brains were scanned using a technique known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Those who had slept properly performed better, and this was reflected in their brain activity.

Lead researcher Dr Sophie Schwartz said: "Our results revealed that a period of sleep following a new experience can consolidate and improve subsequent effects of learning from the experience.

"This improvement comes from changes in brain activity in specific regions that code for relevant features of the learned material."

Dr Schwartz said sleep helped the brain consolidate learned experiences and harden up weak memories which otherwise might fade in time.

However, she said much more research was required. For instance, it was unclear how much sleep was required to have optimum impact.

"We now want to know which brain circuits are involved in these learning effects during the night and if we can experimentally enhance such effects.

"We want to assess how sleep disorders affect emotional and cognitive functioning, and what are the biological factors responsible for these effects."

Important part of life

Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, said the findings proved just how important it is to get a good night's sleep.

However, a recent poll of 4,000 adults in the UK found only one in five sleep for eight hours a night.

Dr Stanley said: "Sleep is not just a waste of time, it is a very active time and we need it for things like memory and learning.

"During the day we acquire information, but at night we sort that information.

"People complain about sleep deprivation, but now with the 24/7 society and information overload we need our sleep more than ever."

Square root three

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
A three is all that's good and right
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.

meh what a lame yet meaningful poem...
