No Strings Attached


No Strings Attached - the second album by 'N Sync. An album that I've loved so much and will always remember! Why am I suddenly talking about this album again? Well, you've guessed it. Its because its Monday again, and I'm off to post another one of my post about Project Alpha's Instant Cash Blogging!
In today's world of advance technology, we have so many available devices that we can bring with us on the go. Things that were once attached are seemingly "cordless" and could be brought to wherever you want! The most obvious device we can refer to is our handphones. Long ago, only telephones existed. We could not walk around the house while we were on the phone. Or even if we could, lets say, if the phone cord was long enough,

we might end up tangling ourselves with the telephone cords or

wind up tangling the phone cord itself!

Then they invented cordless phones.. But then again, you couldn't take your cordless phone for a jog, or go shopping with it. Finally, they created mobile phones thus solving all these "attached" issues. =D

Another thing is, the internet access. Most of us have internet connections that are fixed to land lines. And more often than not, the computer is connected to a modem which is in turn connected to the phone line by cables. These posses a problem, whereby, we can not get internet connection out of the house and it would be a real hassle just to get internet access both upstairs and downstairs! Sure there are wireless connections available, but how far away from the modem could you be and still sustain a good connection line?

Then P1 wimax came up with a solution. They invented this!!

Now you can bring your laptop everywhere and still get to go online! Best part of all, you don't need a phone line for it! And to top it up with some icing, P1 W1max comes with fast speed connection of up to 10mbps!!! Hurry and get one!! =)

Love World Love Sloggi


So today's topic is about love. Love is one of the most heated topic among adolescents as well as among the adults. The love topic I am referring to is of course about the "romance kind of love". ;)

For me, I love it when I receive gifts he made for me
My own leather handphone holder!! Unbelievable huh? He sew it!! Muacks!

And another one of his creations..
A closer up picture below!!
I love it when he calls me just to hear my voice when we are far apart physically.

I love it when he tries to cheer me up after we had a roll.

But thats not the only kind of love that exists. If you open your eyes a little bit more, remember to listen to the sounds around you, and find out what was that wonderful scent you breath a moment ago, You'd realise that nature itself is something to be loved!

For me, I love it when it rains heavily
When the sound of rain splattering on the grown drowns off the sound pollution of the city we live in and the smell of rain.. oh so refreshing!

I love a stroll at the beach as the sun rises.
I love the trees that shades us from the hot sun during the afternoon!

Like many girls, I love shopping! And what I like best is to buy apparels that are comfy and long lasting. This brings me to one of a more intimate sort of apparel, you are right, by intimate, I meant undergarments. Undergarments has to be comfortable, it mustn't be too tight, it must be gentle to the skin, etc. One of the comfy brands there is, is Sloggi!

And to make this brand even more appealing for choice is that their Spring 2010
is produced by ecologically friendly fabrics! Talk about saving planet earth and wearing really great undergarments at the same time! Thats like killing two birds with one stone.

Initially when I first heard about the Love World Love Sloggi concept, I had an impression that the bras and briefs were going to be made out of papers!

Something like this! O.o
*picture taken from the internet..
Anyway, to my greatest delight, they weren't made that way.Their Spring 2010 are made out of 90% Polyester (yarn material is produced from 100% recycled plastic bottles) 10% Elastane. They come in yellow green, orangy pink and grey brown or black. Quite a nice design I should say. I like the design. You can have a look at it here

So the next time someone asks you if you did anything at all to help save the environment, you can stand up tall and proud, jut your boobs and butt out and say, "well, I bought Sloggi's Love world Love Sloggi collection! Just kidding about the jutting part though. ;)

Son Sues Mother for Hacking Facebook Account!

Cited from CNet news:
(for those who are lazy to read the whole thing, I have highlighted some main points in red. Hope that its sufficient to understand. )

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

The mother of a 16-year-old boy said she was only being a good mom when she locked him out of his Facebook account after reading he had driven home at 95 mph one night because he was mad at a girl. His response: a harassment complaint at the local courthouse.

"If I'm found guilty on this it is going to be open season" on parents, Denise New said Wednesday.

New, of Arkadelphia, a small college town an hour southwest of Little Rock, said many of her son's postings didn't reflect well on him, so after he failed to log off the social networking site one day last month, she posted her own items on his account and changed his password to keep him from using it again. But her son claims what she posted wasn't true, and that she's damaging his reputation.

"The things he was posting in Facebook would make any decent parent's eyes pop out and his jaw drop," Denise New said. "He had been warned before about things he had been posting."

Lane New, who lives with his grandmother, filed a complaint with prosecutors who approved a harassment charge March 26. Neither New would say Wednesday which items on his Facebook site the boy had found slanderous.

"I probably made maybe three, maybe four actual postings - the rest of it was a conversation between my son, me and his personal friends," Denise New said.

In his handwritten complaint to prosecutors, Lane New asked that his mother have no contact with him and wrote, "Denise first hacked my Facebook and changed my password. She also changed the password to my e-mail so I could not change it. She posted things that involve slander and personal facts about my life."

Denise New acknowledged changing both passwords to keep her son from getting access to his Facebook page. She denied hacking into the account.

"He left it logged in on my computer," she said. "It's not like I stole his laptop."

Denise New said the boy had written on his Facebook page that he had gone to Hot Springs one night and drove 95 mph on the way home because he was upset with a girl. Several other posts on his site also bothered her, but she refused to elaborate.

She said he has since opened a new Facebook account.

Prosecutor Todd Turner declined to comment because the boy is a minor. His office issued a statement later saying the woman's alleged statements about her son justified the harassment charge - though he would not describe the comments.

Denise New said Lane moved in with his grandmother about five years ago, after she went through a difficult divorce, was having mental health problems and didn't feel she could provide her son with the supervision he needed.

She faces a hearing on the misdemeanor at the Clark County Courthouse on May 12.


I was rather shock when I heard the news on TV. Because, personally, I feel that parents have the rights to control their children. If their children act of using Facebook is affecting their well being (in terms of health or studies or anything on such note) then I believe parents have the right to take actions. As for banning, the topic is really much up to individual's opinion.

Unfortunately, after reading the above article, I realise that this case wasn't like what I thought it was.

Correct me if I am wrong,
  1. Her point of banning him from facebook is what? To stop him from posting worrying things on facebook? What good will that do if he continues to do those worrying things but does not post or talk about it to anyone?
  2. Why is she posting her own stuff on her son's Facebook? o.O
  3. Son is suing his own mother for something like Facebook? o.O
  4. Don't you think both of them are kind of overreacting?
p/s: Everything stated in this post excluding the article I sited from CNet news is based on my own personal opinion. I have no intention of judging or siding any sides. I merely just feel like sharing my point of view with my readers. Fee free to leave a comment.

Unlucky Day


I am not sure how many of you know what a HPLC is, but last week was one of the most "omg, not this!" situation I faced.

To let you understand my situation, lets start with a brief introduction:

My senior discussed with me and we decided to rerun ALL the samples that we have collected so far using HPLC. I then checked for available slots and realised that the only slot available was after 4pm on Friday. I began weighing all samples on Wednesday, and because the number of samples were so huge! I ended up preparing them the whole day!

On Thursday, I prepared a total of 6 L of mobile phase which I should tell you, required quite an amount of energy (not that I'm complaining). The problem was on Friday, I took the whole day dissolving my samples, and when I'm finally done and prepared to run HPLC, it was nearly time to rush to church (last week was Good Friday you see). I wait patiently as I watched the HPLC run and to my biggest dismay, after running about 10 minutes or so, the damn thing suddenly had an alert beep with the screen displaying "Lamp Failure"!! o.O

OMG!! I tried restarting, I tried rerun, it all didn't work. I had no choice but to call my sister up, told her not to wait for me and head to church first while I rushed to clean and stop the HPLC.

At the end, I was totally exhausted (because I fast for Good Friday, rushed to start and then STOP the HPLC, and ran like mad to get into the car to rushed to church). As if this is not enough, the bloody road was packed jam! The cars barely moved!! WTF? And so, you guessed it, I was late to church as well. What a day man, what a day. (T___T)

p/s: I hate HPLC!!! Grrrr..

If I am Ip Man Master, I would...


Thats right! If I am Ip Man Master, I would..
Take it at heart to improve my balancing skills so that I will not look like the picture above again when I try to balance on a rock!
I would practice my kung fu with friends! A few could do Wing Chun, while those interested in the western style could do a little bit of boxing!! ;)
I would combine nature with my kung fu practice zones for better health and tranquillity =D

I would create a strong inner strength and still keep a slender body and would be able to carry man as tall and big as Hun Wei (the one dangling on my arms) while smiling and posing for a photo.
I would master the art of Qing Gong and be able to jump up high in the air and land back onto the ground light and gracefully.
I would stop big bullies like the picture above from bullying the vulnerable.
And I would spend some extra time with friends pondering about more kung fu moves that we could come up with. =D

My Favourite Sport


Sports is essential for life.We cannot like one of my friends said, "starve to lose weight". We need a proportional amount of exercise to keep us healthy and in shape. There are a number of sports that I love engaging myself in. Of them, the top three are:

Number 3
Running.
I love the way the air breeze passes my face as I run. I enjoy listening to the sound of my rhythmic footsteps, breath and heart beat. I like the way running can make me tune out the world, like there is only me and the track path. Such serene and tranquility.

Number 2
Basketball

I love the thrill of stealing away a ball from the opponent. I especially like the rush I get when I score at a particular critical moment.I enjoy the idea of cooking up a plan with my team mates and knocking our opponents off.

Number 1
Dancing

This is my favourite sport of all. With every drop of sweat, I improve in my dancing skills. Because I've started dancing when at the age of 6, I have no fear on stage. I can show confidence to audiences even though in reality I'm afraid, show joy even though my feet is sore from dancing and show elegance from dance movements. I can pick up dance steps quickly and remember them as well.

Sad to say though, nowadays I've got not much chance to play basketball or dance. I'd really love to have that chance again. Oh well, for those of you active in sports, I'd like to promote this to you again.
