It's april fool~!

It's April Fool again~!
There's Nothing much interesting this year though...
Perhaps except for those pile of homework in front of me.
Doesn't it strikes anyone odd that how boring and uncreative April Foll has always been?
I mean, little minor pranks here and there and everyone called it a day.
School and companies should send out retrenchment and expel letters.
Of course all these will be unethical, though it will be highly interesting.
Or maybe the government can play a part to make all these a wee bit more interesting.
Like cutting the power for 10 minutes so that everyone will have something about this "dark" April fool to remember about.
Oh wait, I guess those businesses will have a lot to complain, and I can't type my blog either.
Yea... that won't do... ...
Well, came across a few of Gandhi's quotes a few days ago while on a gunner job which I hope is the last.
You must be the change you want to see in the world.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Alright, there's really nothing much to it as they are pretty self explanatory.
Well, I cam across the second one first so I think I will trash talk about it for a bit.
Sounds like some sort of apocalypse huh?
I mean, everyone is greedy more or less.
I admit it, I am greedy to some extend, though I hope its less when compared to most (I don't want to know).
And many people will simply say that it's natural when they come to an inner struggle of greed.
Don't you always?
Perhaps it's humane to be greedy?
And ethical too?
Or perhaps not?
Well, it's not that I know much of it.
Nor am I anyone to comment on such.
But nonetheless there are still credits in thinking of these kind of matters.
It's the nature of every human to try to be better than those around.
That's why there's schools.
And that's why meritocracy is a success in most schools, if not all.
And meritocracy is also a success when implemented in working sectors as well.
So perhaps we can say that greed is what shaped the world today?
Or even that the world today is driven by greed?
I mean, if there's no greed, the economy will not be that robust.
And the economical recession will not happen if there's not that kind of economy to start with.
There won't be that many people out there being rats in a ridiculous race.
There will never be technology (you will never want an ipod and apple will never want your $).
So basically, this world is greed driven.
But then, if that's the case then the world will never be enough.
I mean, there's not enough for everyone's greed.
Oh well, greed is the driving force of most capitalist states.
Communist economy is something of the past right?
Even China is having a capitalist economy.
Though there are still a reluctant few.
Such as North Korea.
But look at the food shortages there.
There's not even enough for needs, so so much for greed.
Which means apocalypse is coming huh?
Oh well, as long as it's not zombie filled like what it looks like in Left 4 Dead then I think it's alright.
Everything have to end.
So much for it.
As for the first quote, it really is nostalgic.
We must be the change.
Hmmm...
Kind of profound here huh?
It means that we have to acquire the skills to remould the item we wanted a change?
Or does it means that we have to be unified with changes?
Perhaps simply being a part of changes will do, though we have the responsibility to ensure that it is going on the right path.
Everyone is changing I guess.
I am.
So are you.
So have you found the change you wanted dearly yet?

再無下次了!

真的受夠了!
幫人替槍真難...
要不然是答應了人家
我也應該會中途放棄吧
一篇兩千字的文也得寫整個星期
拜托... 一整個星期呢...
原來幫人寫東西是那麽難的
而且那種平時有的滿足感也消失了
只有那種做完了就算的得過且過感覺
這次真的收山了!
不過認識我的你們不用慌
我也是照樣會為你們改文跟給意見的
不過要我整篇文一手包辦的話就免了
... 以後真的真的...
... 不會再做槍手...

Nostalgic... yeah, so?

Maybe I'm not the only one who gets this kind of sentiments. Somehow, I believe everyone wanted to relive a certain part of their lives. Same goes with me. It's not that I want to time travel or anything, but at the very least let those fading memories be more vivid. I won't say that I am someone who is outspoken or anything near that, but there's always these ideas and methodologies which starts to self manipulate whenever some conversation or exchanging of ideas is triggered somewhere. It can be some lousy broadcast from the news, most of which I have the habit of mouthing vulgarities, or perhaps some newspaper article, which I hate reading since newspapers are more editor orientated than reader. It can even be some eavesdropping from anyplace, and most of the time I need at least some efforts to keep myself from saying the word 'idiots' out loud. Pardon me if I seem nonsensical like I always do, but the professor promised in class to give out essay questions this afternoon and he utterly forgot about all that again. Great...
Where were we? Oh yea, the part on eavesdropping. Perhaps I am born with this kind of weird, or uncommon at least, ability to think of anything and comment on anything that's under the sky, literally, since I know nuts about outer space... maybe I used to since there are loads of Chinese astronomical books lying around the house, though I must have forgotten about it all. Anyway, whenever these kind of weirdo ability comes up, which is normally anytime, I will spend time thinking of the matter of concern. Oh well, not really much of a concern since it wouldn't have anything to do with me, but it's still fun to ponder about things that are pretty much random and debatable. Yep, perhaps the phrase self-debate is pretty much appropriate here. So whenever these kind of weird stream of consciousness triggers in my brain, most likely caused by some off charts chemical reaction though I won't really care, I will go on thinking for hours, thoroughly most likely not days unless its kind of personal and important. You can call these spacing out or day dreaming, call it whatever you like. But after a few rounds of mental debates, the conclusion which pops up at the back of my brain is always not something which I would have thought of from the beginning. So this links back to the topic. I've always wanted to live every part of my life again. Yep, just to bring all these debating results and pointers back to my former self so I can at least make a clearer stand.
This kinda effect always happens, mostly during some everyday chat or everyday discussion. Oh and after handing in assignments, essays that is, too. Though it is quite pointless to think about these kind of possibility of reliving any moment. I've forgotten from where, but there's once where a psychologist said that even if somehow everything were to occur again, at any time and any place in the past, the exact same thing will happen again. True or not, I'm not sure, but I don't want to debate it at the back of my head. Why? Well, I'm just plain lazy~

話都沒說 就快又一個學期了
期中考都查不都考完了
上學年的血債
今年還得多少就多少吧
過了這幾個月
又會是另外一個交叉點
希望這一次能選的人會是我吧
有某某某些東東我也挺想做的
不過 最重要的是起碼讓我離開這個人間地獄
太誇張了吧?
不以爲然吧...
畢竟這個空間的存活率都低得很
是地獄沒錯了啦
只要跑路得了
只要不用再看到我最討厭的那一堆東西
應該也算是升仙了
這幾天跟平常一樣
不愛説第一句話的習慣又出現了
很多次想開口說
很多次想表達
可是口總是結結巴巴的
開不了口
只在那裏做個旁觀者
有時候躲在這世界的一角
聆聽著風的脈搏
管擦著草的舞姿
也未免是件坏事
可也總得開開口吧
想吃了黃蓮塘一樣的...
算了啦
把所有的思緒都灌進來這裡
也可以說是對自己的一個交待吧
話説起來
今天應該出第二份文的題啊...
唉... 又是另外一批債要還的...

遊戲

每套遊戲都有自己的規則, 自己既玩法. 進入這遊戲就是玩家, 就要以遵守這規則和玩法的前提下求存. 當然, 每套規則都有自己的灰色地帶. 而尋找這灰色地帶會是某些玩家的使命, 因爲也許這就是到此遊戲的天堂的捷徑. 也許沒段旅程都是一個遊戲. 小學是, 中學是, 大學也是. 要生存, 就好認識裏面的灰色地帶, 認定那些可做, 那些不可做. 因爲每個遊戲都有到達終點的最快捷經. 是衝殺也好, 行捷徑也好, 用編程都好, 只要不犯規, 任何方法都可以成爲天堂的必經之路.

文何價?

以前總會覺得自己沒有什麽專長
總會覺得有今天都可能沒明天
也許這種心態已經在這繁忙的年頭給弄丟了
但最讓自己意想不到的是
以前自己最爛的技能 最爛的科目
竟可能成爲我賺第一塊錢的技能
也許所收的錢不多 區區那幾百塊
根本就不足以掛齒
但是有誰能夠理解成經因爲一科語文而入不到大學
成經給所有老師指名說爛到無可救藥的廢物學生
竟然可以以那一科為本而第一次賺錢
雖然錢不多 但這也可能是最讓人意想不到的吧?
會考跟高考的時候, 最爛的科目可以說是這個英文了
而回想過去 自己的語文程度又有進步了多少呢?
怎麽想也覺得現在跟以前的我並非判若兩人吧
也是同一個身軀, 同一個靈魂
怎會不一樣呢?
也許世界就是那麽的奇怪
現在的強, 可能是日後的無能
以前的弱, 可能會是現在的皇
一篇千多字的文 別所是幫人寫那麽誇張啦
就連自己做完自己那一篇已經很了不起了啦
現在不但要顧自己那份
還得幫一大堆人做
是以前的或或許已經頭暈了
不過一篇屁話會值幾百塊
算了啦 現在又不是投稿
只是常常賺錢的滋味而已
又可以幫到那一堆懶蟲
何樂而不爲呢?

回想過去 確認現在
最困難的挑戰會有最充實的收穫
張不可能的任務化爲可能
這也許是自我進步的必經之路

好像很久沒用中文來寫些什麽了吧
這幾天突然覺得自己寫東西的次數變多了
無論是學校需要交的文章也好
是那些英文文學的所謂論文也好(所謂論文... 哪有真的論文會是千多字那麽少的?)
甚至是哪一堆幫別人寫的屁話
幫別人改的文都好
都總是離不開寫文章這幾個字
拜托, 我的文筆也不見得會有一種非同凡響的吸引力囖...
也只不過是凡夫俗子一個
寫的文也寥寥得很
幹嗎整天牽著我要我幫你們寫東寫西的?
真的搞不懂呢...
寫一兩千個字而已嘛
根本沒什麽值得鼓舞的
所以我整天說
如果你打一千次 "a ", 然後再加個句號
你就會有一個一千字的文章了啦
就是那麽簡單嘛
所以說字數是沒意義的囖
寫得多, 只能說你屁話比較多
其他就沒了
屁話多也不代表你成績會好得那裏去
算了吧
以後有什麽跟作文有關的東東
別來找我了!

Deadline...?

One of my uni friend once said that university is about meeting deadlines. Well, I seriously doubted his theory as deadlines has never been an issue to me. Nevertheless, first time ever in uni, I am facing this certain deadline here which looks a bit too unreasonable. 2 days to hand in 6 maths questions??? The prof seriously think that we are some kinda gifted child programme or whatsoever eh? Seriously, for those who simply copy homework, it won't make a difference for them. But for those who does their homework honestly, they can seriously consider pointing their middle fingers at the prof and say "you suck!".

A little poem

I felt a funeral, in my brain (#280) — Emily Dickinson

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading — treading — till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through —

And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum —
Kept beating — beating — till I thought
My Mind was going numb —

And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space — began to toll,

As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race
Wrecked, solitary, here —

And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down —
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing — then —





Somehow, Dickinson knows how one feels while studying her poems. I mean, who would feel a funeral in their brain apart from studying? Writing an essay on this isn't easy, and yes, my mind is going numb~!!!

Ouch... ?

Goth has never been a like of mine (though it might not have been quite apparent), and I am quite certain that most of us, if not all, doesn't like losing blood or getting cut up for absolutely no reason, or perhaps even if there are adequate reasons behind it. Though I must say, accidents and incidents do happen (its the former this time), and at times unnecessary blood will be lost. Well, to cut it short, somehow there's a cut on my right leg and apparent as it is, there is blood. The cut's about 1 and a half inch, or 4 cm, pretty shallow and ... hey, why am I writing all these crap??? Well, the picture will speak for itself.





This little spray on bandage stops the blood pretty well. Hmmm, nice little invention by elastoplast. It also says on the bottle: "One solution for all minor cuts and scrapes. Seals out water, dirt and bacteria." Hmmm... I won't call a cut that is over an inch wide 'minor', would I?

A typical day @ sch

Was playing around with my phone and realised that there are some photos inside which I've utterly forgotten. Well, think I'll post them here for the sake of it =P
Queue at school bus stop (intra school bus). Yep, the school is so inconvinent that you can only move around by bus, or else you can stink from sweat for the whole day. One simple question. Where is the bus? Well, the truth is that this queue is so retarded long that the buses are on the opposite side of this light blue structure, which so happens to be the only link between the outside world and the school - train station.
Lesson time. Well, for some unkown reason, everyone looks interested. Though I'm not, or I believe that I'm not. Why? Cause if not this picture will not exist.

A little path near the woods called 小橋流水. Heard that there are many snakes and monkeys around. Oh and insects of various kinds too. (Or vermine, pets... whatsoever)

百萬大道 +烽火臺. Heard that this little lump of metal (well, not little but yea anyway) will be removed cuz of some silly upgrading. Not that I like this little lump here, but its kind of nostalgic for many (though I don't think I am one). One thing is certain though - there won't be any more daring tests when this lump is gone (a rumored theory states that if you walk through this, either you will graduate first class or you will drop out).

Sunset @ somewhere near the top of the school (meaning top of the stupid mountain which caused the school to feel more of like a military school than any university).

One of the many paths linking the mountain foot and top/middle.

Nothing to do with school, but this is a typical Hong Kong meal and this is what normally eat when no one's there for lunch. HKD $30 for 雲吞面 + 唐生菜 + 檸檬茶. Pretty expensive if you ask me, but everything's expensive at my area and everything taste like something you find in your toilet bowl in my school. Well, almost everything.

Analyze yourself!


Analyze Yourself


The Quirkology website contains several serious, and scientific, online experiments. However, we also thought it would be fun to have a few not-so-serious tests to help uncover the real quirky you. There are three tests below for your entertainment.


Test 1 - The Q-Test


What to do:Using the first finger of your dominant hand, trace out the capital letter ‘Q’ on your forehead.


Analysis:This fun test provides some insight into whether you are ‘self’ or ‘other’ centered. These two types of people have a very different way of seeing the world, and one type is no better or worse than the other.


There are two ways of completing this exercise. Some people draw the tail of the ‘Q’ on the right hand side of their forehead whilst others draw it on the left.


Self-centered people tend to draw the letter Q in a way in which it can be read by themselves. They tend to come across as being the 'same person' in different situations, and their behaviour is guided more by their own values than the needs of others. They pride themselves on being straight with people, and expect others to be honest with them. Because of this, they are not especially good at lying, but are better at detecting lies in others.


People who are other-centered tend to draw the letter Q in a way in which it can be seen by someone facing them. They tend to be concerned with how other people see them. They are happy being the center of attention, can easily adapt their behaviour to suit the situation in which they find themselves, and are skilled at influencing the way in which others see them. Because of this they are often good at lying, but not so good at detecting lies.



Test 2 - The Finger Test


What to do:Hold out your right hand, place your fingers together, and compare the length of your index (first) finger and ring (third) finger (see picture opposite).


Analysis:Everyone knows the sex of their body, but what about their brain?


The hormone ‘testosterone’ is linked with many traits traditionally seen as masculine, such as aggression, becoming frustrated when you don’t get your way, and, most important of all, social dominance. Those in highly competitive occupations, such as actors and footballers, tend to have much higher levels than those in more caring jobs, such as nurses and the clergy. Men have much greater levels of testosterone in their bodies and brains than women.


Scientists believe that the amount of testosterone we were exposed to in the womb affects the ratio of index finger length to ring finger length. The higher the testosterone exposure, the longer the ring finger. Most women's index and ring fingers are almost equal because they have been exposed to less testosterone. If women have longer ring fingers, then they have more masculine tendencies. In most men, the ring finger is longer because they have higher testosterone levels. If men have ring fingers equal in length to their index fingers, or shorter, they have less masculine tendencies because they have been exposed to slightly less testosterone.



Test 3 - The Thumb Test


What to do:Interlock the fingers of your hands, and place one thumb on top of the other.


Analysis:The brain works in two general modes. In one mode (often called ‘right-brained’), it is more intuitive, visual, and creative. In the other (often called ‘left-brained’), it is more logical, sequential, and language based. In many ways, it is like having an artist and accountant arguing in your head, and you keep flipping between the two.


All of us work in both modes, but everyone naturally tends towards one or the other.
People who place their right thumb on top of their left thumb tend to be left-brain dominant, and are thus more verbal and analytical. Those placing their left thumb on top of their right thumbs tend to be a right-brain dominant, and thus excel in visual, spatial and intuitive tasks.

Sneeze

Games at Miniclip.com - SneezeSneeze

As a virus, your goal is to infect as many humans as possible

Play this free game now!!
Having a bad flu and there's no one to share it with? Not to worry, as here comes Sneeze!


Sneeze is a flash game of which you, a contagious human with some deadly flu, aims to spread your virus around the area you are targeting at, so that most, if not all, of the people around will be infected. Controls are easily manipulated, as the arrow keys (or wasd) are for movements and space is for sneezing. Graphics, similar to the controls, are kept with simplicity - something which you will expect from a five minute killer. As for sounds, apart from the background sounds of various settings, is the "Achoooooo...."s... like it or not, this is a sneezing game. Oh and it should also be noted that only one sneeze per setting is allowed, so sneeze wise!

Main screen
Sneeze Sneeze Sneeze!
Each dude will only sneeze once, including yourself
You need a certain % of infected people to advance to the next level
Some dudes like to hide in a corner ...
Aim for the middle!
Dont stand to close to the preys, and aim for the middle
let them spread....

And you will get a 100% infection in no time~
