Proton Inspira VS Mitsubishi Lancer

One of the most epic comical conversation between
Proton Inspira and Mitsubishi Lancer

Enjoy!

It is not something new when we heard Malaysia's car manufacturing company is copying other company's car's model. And bare in mind, it is not copy! It is collaboration or partnership.

Afterall, Malaysia says,

"Sharing is caring"

Guns and Ammunition on Flight

I just booked my airticket to Haikou for this November with AirAsia. AirAsia sent me the travel itenary through an e-mail. As I continue to read the content of the e-mail, I found out this.

Sorry for being ignorant or not knowledgeable, I did not know we were allow to bring guns and ammunition to/from Indonesia. This is the first time I ever heard of that.

Sinful Nature

Picture by http://my.opera.com

‘If we are not seeking the Lord, the devil is seeking us.’ – Charles Spurgeon.

The devil gets us when we lower our guard and become complacent. If you are serious about living a godly life, read on.

‘Live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you would not be doing what your sinful nature craves. The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Holy Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict.

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, you lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarrelling, jealousy, outburst of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group. Envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin.

But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, He will produve this kind of fruit in us; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.


Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there. If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives’ (Galatians 5:16-25 NLT).

When you get serious about living a godly life, God will help you.

Tongue Twisters

Out of sudden I recalled playing tongue twisters in my childhood. I did in both English and Cantonese, but I was only managed to speak one of each fluently.

Bitter Botter:

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter
The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter
And made her batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter makes better batter.
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
Making Betty Botter's bitter batter better.

Peter Pipper:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

But if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Were they pickled when he picked them from the vine?
Or was Peter Piper pickled when he picked the pickled peppers
Peppers picked from the pickled pepper vine?

Woodchuck chuck:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood a woodchuck could chuck,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

She sells:

She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells sure are sea shore shells,
For if she sells sea shore shells as sea shells,
The shells she sells are sea shore shells.

I thought:

I thought a thought.
But the thought I thought wasn't the thought I thought I thought.
If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought,
I wouldn't have thought so much.

Billy Button:

Billy Button bought a buttered biscuit,
did Billy Button buy a buttered biscuit?
If Billy Button bought a buttered biscuit,
Where's the buttered biscuit Billy Button bought ??

I find this really fun yet educating. Up until now, I still cannot do it any better. How about you?

Clones of Google, Facebook & YouTube

As we all know the Chinese can duplicate almost everything on the earth, except human. Obviously even they can clone human, they would not want to. Look at the population in China.

I read news about China banning Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. They were about to cast Google out from China as well. Can they manage to survive with all these things banned? Apparently yes, the government is "kind" enough to develop their own version of search engine, social network and video hosting sites.

Google is one of the search engines that widely use by almost everyone in the world. The Chinese however created their own search engine called the Baidu, that used by 60% of the Chinese population.

The next we have is Facebook and RenRen. Honestly, I did not know they do own a social network as well. Obviously, all you can see in RenRen are only Chinese people.

Somehow I find the Youku name sounds very similar to YouTube. I guess that is the way how the Chinese government manages to keep the people from being informative. I highly doubt the Chinese can even view my blog in their country. Haha.

Perhaps some people already noticed those sites available, but I was still shocked to found out these. There is nothing the Chinese cannot duplicate!


p/s: BTW, there is a site to replace Twitter as well, but I do not know what was it called.

Sacrifice

In a Japanese seashore village over a hundred years ago, an earthquake startled the villagers one autumn evening. But, being accustomed to earthquakes, they soon went back to their activities. Above the village on a high plain, an old farmer was watching from his house. He looked at the sea, and the water appeared dark and acted strangely, moving against the wind, running away from the land. The old man knew what it meant. His one though was to warn the people in the village.

He called his grandson, “Bring me a torch! Make haste!” In the fields behind him lay his great crop of rice. Piled in stacks ready for the market, it was worth a fortune. The old man hurried out with his torch. In a moment the dry stalks were blazing. Then the big bell pealed from the temple below: Fire!

Back from the beach, away from that strange sea, up the steep side of the cliff, came the people of the village. They were coming to try to save the crops of their rich neighbour. “He’s mad!” they said.

As they reached the plain, the old man shouted back at the top of his voice, “Look” At the edge of the horizon they saw a long, lean, dim line. A line that thickened as they gazed. That line was the sea, rising like a high wall and coming more swiftly than a kite flies. Then came a shock, heavier and thunder. The great swell struck the shore with a weight that sent a shudder through the hills and tore their homes to matchsticks. It drew back, roaring. Then it struck again, and again, and yet again. Once more it struck and ebbed; then it returned to its place.

On the plain no word was spoken. Then the voice of the old man was heart saying gently, “That is why I set fire to the rice.” He stood among them almost as poor as the poorest, for his wealth was gone – but he had saved 400 lives by the sacrifice.

What Children Understand About PMS

Some word in children's point of understanding...

Son : Sister never open any letters that you sent.
Dad : Why not?
Son : Mom said that's because she has PMS.
Dad : Do you know what's that?
Son : I am not a little kid anymore. It means 'piss at men's syndrome'

This is how innocent some kids' mind can be. How adorable. =)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Besides that, I snapped an 'interesting' photo when I was on the way to the library from home.

I did not know cats enjoy spectator when making love. I thought only dogs do.

Condom Vending Machine in "The Ladies"

Since I overworked my wife, without giving her holiday and well maintenance, she suffered a brain tumour and died on me. I got no choice but to look for "entertainment" out there while waiting for a new brain transplant on her.

I have been a regular customer in an entertainment place called the ‘Nelson’. The ladies working in there are perfectly fine and they have "bigger" assets. BTW, that does not mean I do not love my wife anymore.

As I spend most of my time in Nelson, usually at night, it is unavoidable to need to go to the loo. I am a VIP, so I sit in the first floor and apparently there is no ‘The Gents’ in that floor. So the only choice for the lazy-arse is to use ‘The Ladies’.

What’s shocking is not that there are no urinals or there are girls in there. I pretty sure there are no people in there since I usually use it after the midnight. The thing is I found this vending machine.

I think it maybe common for the girls out there to know about this but not for me, a guy that does not usually enter the girls’ toilet, so... I am actually amazed. Oh well, I guess it is not uncommon for girls to have condoms in their purse these days, so I assume the machine serves the purpose.

p/s: It is £2 per-pack! I think condoms in Malaysia is much cheaper.

Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery

Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery (BMAG) is the largest local authority museum service in England.

If you ever read the news, you should be aware that pieces of Anglo Saxon gold hoard were found in the field of Staffordshire and soon been kept and displayed in Birmingham Museum.

Initially, the treasures are to move to the London Museum, but after the councils received enough donations from the public, the UK's largest haul of Anglo-Saxon treasures are able to be remain in West Midlands region.

There are plenty of arts ranges from the 10th century up to 20th century. Picture above is an example of the 14th century art gallery.

This is a grand piano. My first time seeing such an old piano. At first I thought it was a table or something.

There are local histories of Birmingham city as well. It tells about how Bullring was earlier and how it leads to reformation.


p/s: Yes, there are mummies in the museum. A real mummy!

----------------------

A day before I left Birmingham to Nottingham, we had dinner in Frankie & Benny's.

I ordered a pork chop dish as I have never really try one before. Although I have seen many back then. :P It was pretty good and worth your penny.

A trip to Birmingham is never complete, unless a picture with my brother here.

Lastly, this is Henry. He is well-known vacuum cleaner here in England. Almost every household has a 'Henry'. =)

University of Birmingham

I went to look for Ernest last week in Birmingham as he had constantly asked me “when are you coming over to get your things?” Haha, I am sorry for the trouble.

I had Moon to bring over some food and few pieces of clothing from Malaysia when she came to UK in the early February. As I have been busy doing my project during the first half of the year, I did not make it to meet them.

Not really an ideal trip, but I had Ernest show me around his university, museum, play mah-jong, and watching movie while drinking some beer at home. We are not able to go any other places due to “particular” reason.

Birmingham University located in Birmingham, West Midlands of England. 35 minutes away from Staffordshire. It is indeed elegant and comfortable.

They have all these green grass land in the university itself, where we usually find in student’s hall of residence.

This is the well known Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, the tallest free-standing clock tower in the world.

Lastly, the Birmingham University’s land god. All the students pray to him before going for exam as he shall grant you the intelligence during the examination. I also paid some respect to him. *pray pray, money money*

p/s: Yeah, no more ponytail. ;)

Yarlet House

I have been away for the past week and not much intent to blog lately. As for those who are not aware, I have finished my courses for about a month now and pretty much reluctant to look for a job. There are many things running in my mind now as for what to do for the upcoming days and months after finishing my life as a student. Anyhow, I am trying to settle down bit by bit now.

By the way, today I just moved out from my living accommodation and moved in to the other side of the hostel for summer. I can extend my stay for another three more months for good. After that I would required to move out.

I am currently living in the Yarlet House, slightly further away from Norbury House where I used to be. The room is bigger here but older. I guess it is the matter of time where I will get use to this place.

I will briefly show how my room was back then and also the current new room that I am occupying. Not much differences but I would definitely prefer the previous one.

Norbury House:

Yarlet House:

This is the view outside my window in Norbury House.

And this is the Yarlet House. I know, it is not appealing at all, but I do get to see people now. It is facing the car park.

Some of the pictures I took during my packing time.

And this is after I moved. I doubt I will unpack it since I may be moving again any time soon.
