"Looks like we have a delay..."

I didn't realize that I've left the blogosphere for such a long time, you guys might know this but I just want to clarify that I've actually been working for the past couple of months and during that period my access to the Internet was totally limited.

Another news is I've moved from small town to a big city, so the transition is so vast that I have to spend time to collect myself and eventually neglect my blog. I have so many materials to post here but given the nature of my current job not every single thing can be posted here, I know y'all love a little bit of gossip...

I will try my best to post something here and keep sharing my thoughts with you guys, keep reading

When I'm hurt, I want others to get hurt too

Ouch!

What do you feel when someone hurt your feelings? For me I have this bad habit where I like to hurt back the person that's been hurting me, I know, inappropriate right.

But I'm not talking about small kinda hurting here, most of the time it was because that person hurt my feelings so much that I feel he or she deserved to be hurt as well.

One time there's this person who promised to spend time with me but eventually bailed on me for other people, I was hurt because I've freakin spend like tons of money and time just to make sure I was available for that person but end up spending the time alone, the person even give me like the most unacceptable reason.

So what do I do? Of course I get even and end up hurting that person's feeling.

Am I a bad guy? I think so...

Am I selfish? Not really, because that person should think about the consequences before getting me hurt.

Discouragement Is The Way Of Love

I recently got an offer to work at some place far away from my hometown, so right now I'm gon' be busier than before with all the works and stuff but before that I have to find a nice and suitable place for me to stay.

But I'm gon' talk about that in another post and right now I wanna share with you guys things that I've been realizing these days.

I don't know if it ever happened to y'all but it definitely happened to me most of the time. It goes like this, like when every time I did something or wanna do something, I get this words of discouragement from people around me.

So here are some examples... when I got straight A for my PMR my folks said "It was just your luck", I mean I know I work my ass off for that exam so it's unfair for me.

On another occasion I decided to told them (which I regret) that I've joined a singing competition and they were laughing and they were like "You ! Sing !", followed by another trail of laughter.

And then recently when I got a job offer they gave me this "You got offered, oh... I think you're the only person they interviewed that's why you got it", I was like ... speechless I guessed.

I got tons of other example but I guessed the above was enough, I think it's the Asian culture where discouragement is considered as motivation, I don't know, but of course I need some encouragement once in a while, don't you think so?

The Other Uses of Condom

First, watch this video . . .


If y'all aren't Chinese speaking like me y'all probably just say "What the fudge is he talkin about?" and "WTF !!! Is that condom on that microphone !"

Yep,right. That's an actual condom over a microphone held by a Chinese reporter.

As a matter of fact the practice of using condom on top of a microphone is pretty standard, to serve as a protection for the mic from any moisture, as you can see in the video the man is reporting about the weather and it was clearly wet there with all the waves crashing and stuffs, so better be safe than sorry.

Also in Vietnam, they use condom to protect M16 (that's a name of a gun) from getting wet.

Never Lie In An Interview

I had a job interviews last week (after like 20 applications !). I think I did a great job for a first interview but I screwed up on the 'hard skill' question, so advice for job seeker out there, do study everything about the job you're applying.

In the first interview I was being too honest. They ask me if I'm willing to be relocated and I straight away answered them that I prefer to be near my hometown which I think is not the answer they're looking for but on the positive side they thought my English was good and I am actually friendly.

Then I thought I shouldn't be too honest for the next interview and when the second interviewer (in the second interview) asked me if I played sport I was hesitant to answer at first because I don't like sports that much. But I said 'yes' anyway and he asked what kinda sports.Guess what my answer is... - freakin' ping pong a.k.a. table tennis.

I thought I can't get away with that but he replied with "Oh great, we need someone to teach these people about ping pong and you can be the best candidate". I was like "I'm screwed"... Y'all know I don't play ping pong !  ! !

But, anyway I should get the interview result within this week, wish me luck, I gotta watch some ping pong vids on YouTube, y'all know, just in case...

Confession of The thegossipgeek

"When you turn, or start over, it means you're leaving something behind" 
-Jessica, True Blood- 
A long time ago I made my policy which is to not write anything personal in my blog because of the unknown circumstances that might happened as a result of the post, but I think this one should be an exception.
First of all let me tell you about Jessica, she's a character from True Blood series. Although she looked like a good girl, she's constantly struggling with some bad urges inside her which is affecting her daily life.
But I'm not here to tell you about Jess, I'm here to talk about something that has been disturbing me for years because I have done something terrible which is kinda unforgivable.
I have a conflict with a person, I have been trying to find a way to settle this problem but the other side doesn't seem to care.
The other person decided to get over this thing and walk away, leaving me and it seems pretty easy for 'em.
I haven't jump to that yet, because I believe I can sort this thing out but I can't do it alone. So what should I do, should I just forget about it and start my new life and just forget that we have been friend for a long time.
Obviously, I can do that, I mean I can't push 'em to be my friend again, right? But, I don't think it's easy maybe because I'm scared that if I didn't make this right the person is gonna think bad about me. Isn't that selfish? I mean, I need to settle this problem just to clean my tainted reputation?
I'm fine if they want to isolate me, but I just want to find a proper way to end this thing.
If I decided to start a new life, that means I'm erasing them from my memories, them are those who I think were parts of my bad memories. It ain't gon' be easy.
I think it will be selfish if I decided not to let them go, so from now on, I'm going to let them go and wish them well, right now, that is the best thing I can possibly do.
P/S: Sorry readers, I know I've been quite personal and emotional lately :-)

What's Cooking ?

I've never been a big fan of cooking show but add some reality show flare to it and I'm in !

Star World (astro CH711) had become this trashy channel that I think has been encouraging women to be some materialistic vain person (same goes to you DIVA Universal ! Give me Hallmark back !).


"Nice logo but Ke$ha? Really?"

Anyway, I have few favorite shows on that channel, one of it is Hell's Kitchen which is currently on its 9th season (US) and the 8th season was on Star World.

If y'all don't know what Hell's Kitchen it, don't worry just Google it, it's a cooking competition show hosted by mouthy billionaire celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay.

I enjoyed watching this particular season because of the casts, from the Jersey Shore-ish Vinny to the bitchy Sabrina but my personal favorite is of course, Boris, cause he reminded me of someone.

"Yes that someone sweats like pig too"

I've watched the entire season and restrained myself from checking Wikipedia for spoilers and I was glad [SPOILER ALERT] that Nona won over Russell because personally, I think Russell is an uptight person and you don't wanna go near an uptight person.

Yes, this show also gave me inspiration to learn a little bit about cooking and stuff, yep, yeah that's bout it and before I go just want to informed you guys that Masterchef Malaysia is coming to town ! Yay !!! Malaysia itself got few big name in the culinary industry, yes he's been in Oprah too ! That's of course is our very own, Chef Wan and I admitted that I have a little bit of shock when I knew that he's married with two children.

Clorox or Cocorex

Ugh, finally my mum (noticed that I mentioned my mum twice already, yep, that's cause I'm living with my parents now) realised that 'Cocorex' and 'Clorox' is not the same thing.

For your information Clorox is the famous known bleach and Cocorex is a rip-off of Clorox. Before this my mum will just grab any bottle that shaped like Clorox without even looking at the brand.


"The logo ! The Bottle ! It's freaking similar" 

But I still don't know whether Cocorex and Clorox are under the same distributor here in Malaysia, because if they weren't, why doesn't Cocorex get sued, probably because 80% of the bleach market in Malaysia is held by Clorox (citation needed) and Clorox won't care less about the other brand when Clorox itself is monopolizing the bleach industry.

For your information, the brand Clorox is also a synonym for the word bleach in Malaysia regardless of the brand, we don't call the bleach as bleach or Cocorex or Vanish or peluntur, we called them as simply - Clorox.

Transparent Bathroom Wall

For our future family trip my mum was browsing the web to find places to stay. At first I was suggesting her the 'no star hotel with the 5 star experience' but she flinched when I told her that the bathroom wall will be transparent.

"AWKWARD !"

I mean why make it transparent, yeah sure it's sexy when you're with someone 'special' but not a good idea when you're staying with your dad or some cheeky niece with a camera phone.

I won't trade aesthetic with some privacy. Anyway we've decided which hotel we will book and it'll definitely the one with a proper wall.

KFC's Ole Pocketful Unboxing

You guys might be familiar with the 'unboxing' concept, it's basically just the writer unboxing something and showed what's inside that stuff to the readers.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Malaysia had recently launched a new tasty treat called Ole Pocketful,  not so new cos' it's actually a pocket shaped version of the ridiculously french bread shaped KFC Twister and the have released the same thing way back when with an even ridiculous name - Banditto Pockett ! Back in 2010 the same thing is released but with a lightly boring name, Toasted Pocketful.

via smashpop
"Yes that's double 't' and you think I'm kidding"

Recently, I have a chance to taste the so-called new Ole Pocketful in my local KFC which of course, paid all by myself. I bought the combo which includes Mountain Dew and Wedges, also, with every purchase of the combo you get to buy a die-cast mini Mini Cooper car for MYR5 and the car is also included with a signatu... nope! you only get the mini car, nothing else.

Via zehobby.blogspot.com
"WARNING: This ad is deceiving"

Then I took a few pictures from my Ole Pocketful experience.

"Nice package"

Notice how in the ad above, the chicken, the chips, the sauce and everything inside the tortilla bread are like struggling to get out as if the pocket is so full of everything, well KFC is 'full' of it ! See it for yourself...

"UNBELIEVABLE !!!"

Ugh, instead of getting what shown in the ad, I got a pocketful (more like half pocketful!) of this with a burnt pita bread. So, an ad is an ad they wanted to attract you and to escape from getting complaint letter from customer they stick a little warning - "Serving and items featured are for illustration purpose only", well they should add "Don't expect the real thing to be close to this"

So I put the thing in my mouth and it actually taste good especially the combination of the sauce and the pineapple bits with the Colonel's chicken.

There it is, my Ole Pocketful unboxing, the good thing about this is this item is unique to KFC because there are no other fast food outlet that offer this thing unless you go to some sort of Mexican restaurant which I doubt its existence. The bad thing... well, I've said it in the whole post. I was trying to take some picture of the things inside the 'pocketful' but the KFC crew were starting to notice my behavior, you know that I don't like being noticed in public.

 "The pocket from different angle, nope still not 'pocketful' to me"

P/S: The Spanish people (err... Spaniard, Spainian, never mind) say Ole ! when they suceed in doing something.

MALAYSIA'S UNDER ATTACK

Due to the popularity of this issue I decided not to blog about it because it's already everywhere but I changed my mind after the news anchor in a local news show deliver a community message that stated hacking is a serious legal issue and at that time I was like "OMG, this is going too far already and I should blog about it !" and also my application in a government website has been denied and I blamed the hackers !

For those who's been living under the rock for some reason, Malaysia has been under attack (cyber attack actually) by hackers who called themselves as Anonymous.

It started with this video, which is a warning about the cyber attack on malaysia.gov.my on 15 June...

 
"I know you wanna press play but DON'T !!!"

Anonymous are targeting government websites because of the banning of several website such as The Pirate Bay and WikiLeaks by the government.

This image is also used by the group as a propaganda;

If you think the image above is familiar that's because that is actually a character from V for Vendetta, the character called V wanted to destroy the totalitarian government. One of the skill possessed by this character is guess what - yes, computer hacking.

For your information the Anonymous group is a web group famously known for their government hacking skill. They even have a Twitter account where they will announced their next target. Some of the members have been arrested in Spain and Turkey and even India.

Malaysia was not mentioned in their tweet but the group itself have no fixed, should I say headquarters and they're freaking everywhere, so some people can used the name of Anonymous to do their deeds but who cares because anyone can be Anonymous. Investigation in Malaysia shows that the hacking is done locally.

So far this topic is still hot, so when do this hacking stop? Will Malaysia give what the hackers wanted? What action will the hackers do if the government didn't submit to their request? Will it be a real life Die Hard 4 event? The answer is...

ANOTHER MOVIE ABOUT TALKING ANIMALS

This July (or August in Malaysia) another movie about talking animals called 'The Zookeeper' starring Kevin James of The King Of Queens sitcom will be released.

The synopsis from IMDb says;

The animals at one particular zoo decide to break their code of silence in order to help their lovable zookeeper gain the attention of one particular woman.

From the trailer, the animals from the zoo sort of becoming 'The Hitch' ( oh yes, Kevin James is in this movie too, he's the dude who learn from Will Smith on how to kiss) and they decided to guide him to win the heart of the girl using animal instinct. Hopefully there's a lesson to be learned from this movie.

via moviereview2u.com
If the story about talking animal and their relationship with a zookeeper sounds familiar it's because last year Malaysia produced a movie called 'Zoo'. The concept is similar but the plot is different actually.

IT'S A DESKTOP THAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR LAP !

Most people preferred to use notebook a.k.a. laptop because you can use it without having to buy a desk and on a couch while you relaxing in the evening, but when it comes to the best performance desktop is undeniably the right choice. Imagine mashing up the ability of a laptop and desktop...

McDonald Is Having A 'Seriously' Issue

Nope, that's not a grammatical error, if you guys have been an avid Twitter user you guys might have stumbled upon this particular picture . . .

Via Yahoo! News
Yes, let me summarize the picture; MCDONALD F**KIN' HATE BLACKS !

According to Yahoo! News people have been accusing McDonald for being racist right after the picture was widely circulated. People believed that the fast food chain had been using this $1.50 fee for being black as an insurance due to recent robbery strings.

The phrase 'Seriously McDonald' had been used by internet users to captioned the picture.

And then, just like the story of the lesbian Syrian gay girl aka Aminah Abdallah this picture was proved to be a hoax but it was too late and the damage is already done and McDonald was already in deep shit.

The origin of the pic is currently unknown but it was actually released years before in a now moved anti-McD blog. However some people who was familiar with the number posted on the picture (800-225-5532) knew that the picture was hoax because that number is actually belongs to Kentucky Fried Chicken and this also indicates that those people also eat a lot of Colonel Chicken.

The moral of the story is don't just simply believe anything that was posted on the internet without searching for proof first like one time when people posted a picture of an innocent priest who was accused to be some sort of . . . OK, let's stop here before I put myself in deep shit.

Who Will Win Akademi Fantasia 9 ?

After 2 year hiatus, finally I've got the chance to watch the final season of Akademi Fantasia before it goes off air for good.

I started to watch it in the 8th week of the show where only 5 contestants were left in the running, so am I impressed with the remaining 5, hmm... not really, but based on the two concerts left before the final I think the winner is already predictable.

Of course, on the 9th week, another student, Erul was eliminated.

So, among the remaining four, who will be the last winner of Akademi Fantasia ?

# 4 Azri 
Via mygosip
I decided to put Azri in this position because looking at the voting result pattern he always end up at the bottom, As stated by Dato' Siti Nurhaliza, he has the best deep male voice she ever heard which according to my ear is so-so, but there are reasons to keep this fella in the glass house because of his personality and good looking (he might not be the best looking fella but if you look at the other guys then you'll agree with me). Adlin Aman Ramli decision to make him take his shirt off in public might be the reason why he advanced to the final :-)

#3 Lena
Via mygosip
She sounds like Stacy (from AF 6 fame) ! She might have some attitude problem which explained her near elimination on week 8. Before Hazama and Fina admission to AF, Lena had always been on the top spot and that indicates the existence of her strong supporters and even after that she managed to stay on the Top 3 position but her performance from week to week is spiraling down, but given the number of voters she got I think this girl will definitely get in the Top 3 spot (or maybe runner up, except for Season 1, Season 6 and Season 7, Sabahan always managed to get the No.2 spot)

#2 Fina
This girl is so popular and I don't know why (mainly because I didn't watched the show), she managed to stay in the top spot and even got the immunity votes which secured her place in the final. She kinda reminded me to previous AF student, Edlin, because of her voice. I think she can survive the industry because she is fresh and she can maybe be another AF student turned spokesperson.

Winner: Hazama
Via shilanatasha
I feel betrayed when he got in AF 9 because he was already an established artiste and even work for several programs organized by astro. I think the producer decided to put him in the competition for rating. He is undeniably the best performer in the bunch but given his experience in the show biz that will not be as impressive. However, looking at his performance, popularity, votes and the comments from the jury, Hazama will definitely going to get the title, but does winning AF gave you a guaranteed success in the industry? I doubt that :-)

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL . . .

When they say 'if you feel beautiful inside, you'll feel beautiful outside' they're actually telling the truth.

Ever wonder why your image look different in the mirror than in the photograph, I always do! Like, my nose is not that ugly in the mirror but when someone snap a picture of me (especially profile-wise) I'm gonna be like "What's that thing hanging on my face, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF !!!! "

Via unitedspongebob
"Just imagine an Asian looking Squidward"
 
The standard of beauty nowadays was likely to be blamed but a recent study shows that the way we percieved our external look is actually determined by how aware we are to our internal states.

Like for example, some people might think their hands are bigger when they are actually not or in some cases some people might think they are thin when they are actually morbidly obese...
 
"Some people think Ms Tyra is fat fiercely real"
 
Recently British scientists had come up with an experiment to see the people's awareness of their body internal states.

I know y'all won't read that article, so I just summarized it, how nice of me ...

the scientists conducted two tests, in the first test all subjects were asked to count their heartbeats without checking their pulse. People who can count their heartbeats accurately, have higher internal body awareness while those that can't have lower awareness.
 
" On the other hand, this guy can count other people's heartbeats"

For the next test, the subjects were tested on how well their external body perception is, in an less-scientific words they wanna test whether the subject are able to see an accurate representation of themselves when they look at their image in the mirror.

For this test they use the rubber hand illusion

In this test, one of the subjects' hand were hidden from their view and a rubber hand was placed near their actual hand.
via abc.net.au
then both the rubber and the real hands were stroked using a brush and after 30 seconds the subject started to feel like the rubber hand was hers, after a few minutes the subject started to forget about their real hand indicated by the drop of temperature in their hand.

Remember the group that have less accurate result of their heartbeat count ?
That group were likely to say "I feel like the rubber hand was mine !" (probably in English accent). The temperature of their actual hand also drop much lower compared to the other group (the one who have more internal awareness).

So they concluded that people with little internal self awareness are more likely to perceived they external body less accurately, one example of that kinda person is moi... unfortunately.

via drsharma.ca
The same goes with anorexic people who think they are fat when they are actually super skinny.

The question is, how do you improve your internal body awareness, some people say Yoga, I say, a little break from reading all those fashion magazines !

HERE TODAY GONE TOMMOROW: HOBBIES IN THE PAST THAT SEEMS OBSOLETE NOW

Just taking you guys to a look down memory lane where we'll be looking at favorite pastimes that was all the rage at that time and seems to be fading nowadays, some are still here but not as popular as it was yesterday and some just disappeared.

Paper Art

I don't know what to call this one but it involves folding a piece of rectangular paper into a triangular shape and connecting those pieces to build something such as a bird like you saw in the picture above. The owner of the picture above took 5 years to complete the bird.

I remember every stationery shops sell the rectangular paper and it ain't cheap so most people create their own rectangle paper (which is not easy I told ya !). Sadly today, it's not common to see this art been sold or even displayed.

Plastic Straw Rose

My sister and my cousin is crazy about this !

This one involve cutting a special type of straw (same like the one you use to drink but this one is slightly flimsier). It used a special type of tools which is a small razor attached at the end of a stick to cut the straw. Then, the straw is folded into a rose shape.

This one required special skill especially the folding part and did I tell you when we were doing this back in the days there's a lot of blood spilled due to the sharpness of the razor used.


Stickers




This one is still around but it was not as hot as it was.

There's a lot of type but the popular one (in my school) is the plastic one and we even trade it with each other, but now it seems like nobody cares about them, just look at your nephew/niece generation...

Trading Cards Game

This one was probably new, there's Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and more. I'm never good at playing this one tho'. The generation that have been introduced with this game had moved on I guess.




Electronic Pet
The picture above is the counterfeit version of Tamagotchi (sadly I own one).

Tamagotchi is made for girls while for the guys they got Digimon. One of my guy friend own a Digimon which required to be shake with a rather sexual gesture.


Friendster
Some friendster avid fan will definitely be mad at me because this site is still around and people are still using it but to be honest most of my friends are moving to you know... facebook, twitter, etc. so this one can be considered as favorites that become forgotten.


I don't like the new logo so I put up the old one there.




P/S: Do you have any favorite pastimes that have been forgotten? Fill in the comments :-)

TURN OFF THE TAP AND JUST LET THE MUSIC PLAY

 WARNING: Graphic content !

I think I'm not the only person who let the tap running when doing number two. Admit it we all think the sound that we make during that session can be embarrassing especially the days when we have ate something bad.

Apparently in these days where everyone is concern about the environment, letting the tap run is a no-no. So what you gon' do to mask those humiliating dropping or wind sound you made and going green at the same time, worst, some public toilet don't even have taps and you have to constantly pull the flush to make the cubicle poop-drop-sound-proof.

"except when you're in Japan, that tube can suck the shit out of you"
On my visit to KL last year, I went to one of the toilet in a shopping mall and they have a solution for this problem.

Yep. They play loud music in the toilet. UK government can take a cue here.

At first it was annoying because of the loud music but as soon as you notice that you didn't notice the sound of your shit reaching the bottom of the toilet bowl, you'll be like "Awesome!" Plus, you can even sing along because everyone was so distracted with how awesome the loud music playing toilet is they don't even care about your shitty vocal.
 "You can blame the toilet paper if they're complaining tho"
So there you go, a simple but effective solution. No more embarrassing sound, no more wasting of water, and you can call yourself an environmentalists without even having to own a hybrid car.

However instead of random song, how about playing the Brown Noise. Brown Noise is a sound with a certain frequency that can make you lose control of your bowel movement, that's scientific way to say shit in your pants.

Here is a Brown Noise.


Shit ! I think I just lose my bowel control...

The Story of Shadow People

WARNING: Don't read this in the dark !

 I don't usually talk about paranormal thing in this blog but I've read something about shadow people in a website and I it actually reminded me of an incident in my school, well, not actually an incident but two and one of it involved me.


A bit about shadow people, it is actually a type of spirit which appear like a figure of shadow but of course with eyes and other shit, people actually see them in peripheral vision which is at the side of our stereoscopic vision (scientific much!). It's been seen everywhere in the world and involved something evil.


These stories happened in my school... well, shit like this happens all the time in boarding school, trust me!

The first one was witnessed by a bunch of students who arrived from the night class. When they pass a room next to the praying room, they saw a shadow figure sitting on one of the bed. They thought it was someone but they were shocked to see the figure was only shadow.
They summoned the prefect to open the room but the figure disappeared.


The next story happened to me...
It was early in the morning and our bathroom has no light so we have to take shower in the dark. It was 4am and there's already a bunch of people walking around so I'm not scared at all.
Then I enter the bathroom and I saw a shadow figure at my back from the reflection of the mirrors in the bathroom and it entirely blocked the light from the outside making the bathroom pitch black. I was panicking and freaking out and I rushed out of the room and I swear that I saw a hooded figure walk (well, not walking because I don't see no legs) into one of the toilet cubicle.


[oh gosh, I'm having goosebumps already]... well do y'all think I'm lying? Well, my story is arguable because it's 4 am and I just woke up so the shadow thing must've been my hallucinations right... but what about the experience with the group of students who saw it together ? So do you guys had ever encounter the shadow people ? Better not wish for it...

STARBUCKS IS NOW EQUAL TO PORK

Starbucks (ma boisson préférée) is considered not halal ! Yikes !

According to this site,

Starbucks is considered haram by JAKIM, because …

Please note that all chocolate, vanilla and coffee drinks at Coffee Bean and Starbuck contains E471 (Emulsifier 471), mono di-glycefides which is from animal origin (pork). Raspberry Frap uses cherries that has been dip in alcohol & the tiramisu contains rum. Please pass this message to our muslim friends.

That was the real excerpt taken from that site and upon Google-searching I found out that mono di-glycefides (bolded for reason) is not a real food additives.

starbucks“From this picture you can assume that mono di-glycefides probably doesn’t exist and that my SafeSearch is off (hey, I’m no pervert !!)”

Other than the non existant substance originated from pigs, the site also stated that the cherry is dipped in alcohol and the tiramisu contains rum.

E471 used in food product are normally from plant origin because of concern on vegetarians, Muslim, Jew, and mad cow disease, but it’s not impossible if there’s some trace of pig in there.

Personally I never tried the Raspberry frap myself , so no comment on the alcohol glazed cherries that.


Hangover after drinking Starbucks, wow, that’s new

I don’t know any drinks with the name Tiramisu on the menu or maybe they were talking about the cakes, but if they do put rum in it, HELL YEAH, I’M EATIN ONE !!!

But, I do research in the Halal Malaysia and found that Starbucks does have certificate which is valid until the Apocalypse (2012… duh… )

Well, is this hoax (made up by competition, Coffee Bean maybe Smile) or real? well, either way it won’t affect my relationship with Starbucks.

UPDATE:

Starbucks had applied certificate from Halal Industry Development Global.

Coffee Bean is totally safe (mmm… *shifty eyes*)

Oh my gosh! Busted ! Starbucks is now safe !!! (source)

THE MOST TYPICAL FACE IN THE WORLD IS FROM ASIAN

National Geographic announced that the most typical face in the planet currently is a man, 28 year old and he's Chinese from the Han tribe. The face is so typical they can be seen worn by 9 million men worldwide.

According to Yahoo! News by Liz Goodwin (gotta cite her in this post, no plagiarism intended) researchers had done research and they have the result shown in National Geographic as a part of their series "Population 7 Billion".

Researchers collect 200,000 photos of different men (28, Han Chinese) and combined them in a composite and the result is quite interesting ... and the result look like this...


Oh, wait, sorry wrong picture... keep scrolling down


The first picture does look like the scientist's result ain't it ? I guess he belongs in the 9 million typical face population. Oh well...

Yep, one more thing, the scientists predict that in 20 years, the most typical face will be in India . . .!!! hey Guy In The 1st Picture ! Start making mini-yous if you want to hold the Typical Face Award much longer !

J'AIME MON CAMPUS

Some infrastructure in my campus had been pimped for our benefits.

We have our own water cooler / water dispenser in our faculty... two of them to be exact ! Yay !!! Free water for everyone ! Remember water is important for our metabolism.


"It also makes us prettier !!!"

Another cool addition is our vending machine now accepts cash notes ! Whee !!! 
"If you look closely you can see the cashier's eyes and mouth"

Notice that our cafeteria is much cleaner that's because we got our own Flo !!! 

"Although birds problem still exists (bird poo to be exact)"
But, there's still one problem need to be solved and had been a cause of students outcry in recent years, we need larger trash can !!! Larger trash can so that we can throw our large garbage into it.
"... or perhaps we just need larger set of brain"
