Comparisons

Hi, i'm back. anyway, presenting a small comparison.

the undermentioned pictures are taken by the two respective cams. as can be seen, the nikon coolpix 5700 camera takes a very much warmer picture as compared to the canon ixus 40. settings are ABOUT the same :/

ok from Richard the great camera master, it seems that the shutter speeds are not the same , and the ixus 40 is maxed out somewhere. therefore it results in the below changes. so as can be seen, a good camera needs to be in the hands of a master to understand the details. heh.

anyhow, the reality is much closer to the nikon coolpix 5700 picture. therefore the nikon coolpix 5700 wins! huray. anyway a barrage of pics taken from the ixus 40 is coming up.

Bing Bong! Roger Wilco's here!

Ping Pong! Welcome back to the LIVE! Update of the Support Division. Here speaking is Roger Wilco Level 95, your reporter for today.

So what is this short interruption about? This is an update done for the owner of this blog because he is a most very busy person! Well, we all know that, but here's to share some of his business over the weeks! And if you havent already realise, business is the 'ness version of busy!

Ah, the job of a clerk. The job of a clerk, or an admin support personnel, is not an easy one. While it may have a lowly allowance of $350, with nearly zero access rights and privileges, not to mention having a rank that is way lower than anyone else, the company cannot live without them. And more so than ever, our dear owner is currently having a vocation as an ASA, or admin support assistant, which we must delved into the miseries of one so..

Yes, do take the word assistant seriously. He has assisted the job of the Documentation Side, the Chief Clerk (and yes, its the entire FORMATION's Chief Clerk, which means lots of work), the SO2 Manpower (yes he's in the manpower branch), the Registry, and basically everything in that little cozy room of theirs. No doubt he has the word 'Exploited' written over his head, he does not feel so. He's taking care of about 1500 people in the Support Division, with the miserly allowance of $350! Here's a short interview with the owner.

Roger : "Hi Owner, so why do you not feel you are exploited over at THERE?"
Owner : "You see, one of the core values which I have is to experience a lot of job scopes (appointments). As many as I can. I don't work for money (although some would be helpful), yes, that's why I don't feel the pinch that hard as others would in my case. Finally, I thought that these experiences would be most useful in developing both my character as an individual and to uptake more stress and improved ability."

In the short explanation, the owner has simplified his near 3 months of horror in THAT place into a paragraph of happiness and joyfulness over success. But is it really true? Roger Wilco thinks not! You see, there are some people who you can help and some you can't! There lives people who can appreciate what you do and some simply do not, that's why you have to thread your way lightly and be wary of people's evil intention. And in THAT place, 99.99% of the regulars are simply the latter. EVIL bunch.

But this discussion on the EVIL bunch will have to be postponed to the next update, as you can see, this update is supposed to be short. What with the little time the owner has nowadays, we can only hope I, Roger Wilco, can catch him on time. The next update will include on salaries, responsibilties, and actual workload.

----
Yours,
Roger Wilco, Jr, Sr, XP

全然 クレイーと

いや、しかし、
今日、さんまのからくりテレビ見とったわけですが、
小倉優子がかわいい。
あいつの発言の飛び具合がかわいすぎる。

会話が成立しない。
だがそれがいい。

一家に一人いると
きっと毎日が楽しいに違いない。

しかし、部屋が、
いや、家全体がコリン星仕様に変えられる恐れがあるが。

それはそれで案外いいかもしれない。

とか考えてる時点で
若干、俺の頭が犯されつつある。

さすが小倉優子。
公共の電波を使用して攻撃するとは。

いや、そんなんどうでもええ。
整形疑惑とかもどうでもええ。

今がよければそれでよし。
整形でも手術でも何でも来い。

いや、じゃなくて。

つまりは、
土曜日のスウィングガールズがおもろかったわけです。
女子高生いっぱい。
最高!

・・・

ん?
何か前にもどっかで同じようなこと書いた気が・・・

いや、気のせい。
きっと気のせい。

スウィングガールズを映画館で見たことがあるとか
想い出の映画とか
テレビで見ながらいろいろ想いふけってたとか
そんなん気のせい。

いや、しかし、
女の子の訛りはイイね。
それが関西弁にしろ九州弁にしろ東北弁にしろ。
訛ってるだけでかわいい。

もし、東北弁の彼女とショッピングに行って
彼女が何かを指差しながら「これいぐね?」
とか言われた日にゃ、
「お前の方がいいぞコンチクショー」とかいって
抱きしめたくなる。

いや、だから、
女の子はとりあえず訛れ。
訛ればいいじゃないか。

小倉優子

追記。

ところで、このエントリのタイトルの
「なまら」って北海道弁で「めっちゃ」
って意味でっせ。

・・・と思う。確か。俺の記憶が正しければ。
そんなんやった気がする。

Alive

Just to let you know, I'm alive.

Today we try to solve the perplexing question of, what is the feeling of being stalked?

Well, to begin with, its not really a perplexing question nor is it really a question. It's really in the end just a "letting u know" session. The feeling of being stalked can arise from 2 occasions , a) when you are a paranoid person, b) when you are really being stalked and you can feel it yeh, or a combination of the two. Feelings you should feel if you are being stalked:
I) You seem to feel someone poring their eyes on you.
II) You are getting missed calls from unknown numbers.
III) People are everywhere but you dont feel safe.
IV) Receiving calls with nobody talking on the other end, maybe just the sound of train moving.
V) When you are sleeping in the night, or rather, preparing to sleep, you cant help but feel that a pair of eyes are looking at you.
VI) You no longer feel safe walking alone in the night in the dark alley.
VII) You see two pairs of red eyes looking at you in some darker part of the area but when you blink your eyes they are no longer there.
VIII) When you are bathing you do it as fast as possible and keep your eyes on the door and close all windows if any making sure no one can see you.

When you are sure you are being stalked, a person (the stalker) , should call you by then if he's good at it, and then say in the stalker raspy voice, "I want your blood". By then, make sure you prepare a vial of your own blood, and then put it outside your house. The stalker should no longer disturb you. :)

II. Topic II, erm, National Service.
National Service is a beautiful and engaging subject. The nicer term being National Service, and the less nicer term, Conscription. You see, an individual finds it very hard to argue and fight against the Government AND the Law, because if you really look at it, in Singapore, the Government IS the Military IS the Law. By the way, National Service is the correct term to use during Peace Time. All the time in NS, you will be frequently reminded of the things that you CAN do , but end up being charged. A Chargeable Offence. Disobeying orders - chargeable offence. Throwing vulgarities at your superior - chargeable offence. Superior throw vulgarity at you - not an offence. These are just some examples, of why singaporeans have no human rights. Because if they have, people will start abusing it, and then the country cannot really function. Not as a free state. Majulah Singapura means Freedom Singapore, but actually means freedom from other countries, not from the government. I think the appropriate term is FISH. In SG, you are fish trained to obey. Sounds familiar? hmm . Too many engaging thoughts at the moment.

III. Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children
Man, although it is sad the DVD got ripped 1 day after it's ORD, to leechers its a godsend. ^^ , anyhow, the movie was great and the CG is nothing short of two thumbs up. Perfectly chiselled faces. Man, if only this is real. Storyline wise is very subtle throughout, and you have to have played and understood the game to truly enjoy the movie. Once again, Square Enix have done it. Goes to show the quality of Japanese Animation, if not the quantity. hmm. The action was great, finally i can see Tifa fight, Cloud's omnislash and ... Sephiroth's murasumune. Damn I adore him. He's full of cool and undivided foolishness, plus he has the rank of One-Winged Angel ><

時々で

時折、誰か私のことが信じる。

If you have gotten in here, welcome and thanks for trying it. You can be happy to say, I cracked this simple shit of Kef's! And I hope this will be your first step (if not the 'n'th step) to the underground world of hacking.

I'm still up and tight about Da Vinci Code, Amalgrams and Cryptograms.

For those who came in here by begging me or by word of someone else, the clues were all given.. Inside the clue itself at the prompt - 'the password is not easy', plain as daylight, 'nor' is a separator, 'not to be guessed' directly means "should be bypassed", and finally a redirection to google.com, which means u can find a simple bypass procedure with a simple websearch :)


*EDIT* I have removed the password thing, because it has done it's job. Heh. Shows the amount of effort people put in.

Buddhism

it just puzzles me in a way. Why are the nuns and the monks separate?


People ask me what have I been doing these few days. Here's a summary. Golf, PS2, PC. Yeah, the usual underground work. Before I enter the army and the gruelling stages of that step, which is scheduled 5 days later, I forgive all who have betrayed me, hurt me (whether I know it or not), or in any form disgrace me. Finally, I wish you all the best for your entry into the adult world, and more importantly, keep your optimism and your noses high. Keep your honor with you, and your street senses with you. Uphold the decree of Aslan, and by the will of Chronos, and the sanity of Arktos, bless you all.

Choices

Sometimes having no choice is better than having too many choices. I shall henceforth quote an example..

Right now, i'm going into army 20 days later.. then after that, i'll eb choosing a big decision to decide a large part of my life - where and what to further my studies. I can either 1) do an optometry diploma and take over my Dad's business (safest and easiest), 2) do a medical degree overseas (difficult and harsh but rewarding), 3) do a psychology degree in NTU, 4) do a Life Sciences degree in NUS/NTU. I have to weigh my decision and it is getting tiring. Most people would encourage me to stay in Singapore, and I agree.. it is much more safe and easier. But I also wish that I could be different, and absorb the power of overseas.. I hate to make a wrong decision and I can only blame myself , not others. And when I go through all this, I remember that making faults are precedented to making good moves.. Only through mistakes can one become more powerful. But some mistakes destroy you..

One thing is for sure.. once I go in army, I'll start to understand. Everything. Having choices is almost always better than having no choices.

Kef:

I will tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.

I will tell you my first memory of you.
The bald, silent, slight red kid who always sat in the front row, no matter how uncool it looked. :)

I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
PANDA. A very cold, unscrupulous Panda. I dont know WHY it was a panda. But if a panda were to amble around lying to ppl and acting all know it all - I'd know it was you.

I'll then tell you something that I've always wondered about you.

A Show

just watched 9th episode of Basilisk: Kouga no Ninpou Chou.

This anime is about two ninja tribes, Ogen and Kouga, who for many years have been prevented from killing each other off by a peace treaty from the Shogun. In the first episode, the peace treaty was broken by the Shogun to set off a great conspiracy, and the show started off.

Both tribes have their own 'special abilities', like Yashamaru of Ogen has the ability of deadly strings that can cut rock and flesh alike. Also, each tribe has 10 of such special people. At the beginning they were both given a scroll, which contains the name list of the 10 people of each side, and were to be striked off with a blood mark when they were killed. Even in the first episode, both leaders of the tribes killed each other off. Very straightforward.

Soon word of the broken treaty spreaded, and the Ogen tribe got news of it first. Blood started to spill. And this is the most exciting part of the show, being that the characters just get killed. While most anime and most movies seem to drag the death of their characters, main characters never get killed, Basilisk brings this to a new level by *just* letting them get killed. I didnt expect Shogen, who was a first episode protangonist, to get killed in the 3rd. Yashamaru, on the 6th.

Also, this is also a love story of the Ogen's daughter - Oboro-dono, and the Kouga's son, Gennosuke. Their marriage was as much arranged as they are in love with each other, but the broken treaty spelled the demise. Both of their special ability are in their eyes. Oboro is a very innocent girl whose eyes will "stop" the special ability of other ninjas when they come into contact. Gennosuke is portrayed as a very mysterious person, and only in the 9th episode, he shows his ability, a terrifying skill that when his eye comes into contact with the opponent, he cause them to either kill themselves, or kill others.

I thought that to defeat Gennosuke, Oboro is the key. Because when she looks Gennosuke in the eye, he cant use his ability, which was very powerful against most of Ogen. But once again the plotline was unexpected. In the very end of the 9th episode, Oboro, under the pressure of her tribe (now she's leader because Ogen died), blinded herself. Her idealism was to have peace, a shared dream with Gennosuke. And she wouldnt have it any other way. I felt alot of regret when it happened, because somehow I wanted to see Gennosuke and Oboro fight it out.. but the script wouldnt let it. :)

Very interesting story to me, including very good drawing. Especially the character's eyes.. expressive and pretty. Why must she cut her eyes?

むかっ腹

Delinquents with Pride.

Getting into fights is fine, but violence isn't.

[Yakuza Philosophy]

In other news;
1. Damn that hair-cutter. and damn my mother. She kept harping to the hair-cutter to cut it short and stuff. I knew it since the beginning it would be an error, she wouldn't believe my judgement. Now that bloody hair cutter took 45 mins to cut my hair to shorter and shorter. Let me rephrase this, at T=15minutes, it was actually done. But apparently he seeemed to be unsatisfied with one side. So he cut that side. Then the other side seemed longer. So he cut. And he cut. And he cut. Asshole.

Moral: Mum, my sense of judgement is better than yours in certain aspects, it is wise to know where to stop. Haircutter, you perfectionist w2b. You suck. And I hope you dont visit my blog.

2. Billiards. IT seems that the pros made it look so simple to do all those gay shots. But I tried it out and it wasnt half that easy. I'll perservere and bring glory to my egoistic self. Damn those 2 onna. All the time pooling they trying to model themself with Rich's glove. Sexy gloves. Why are female always so female? Sigh. The bigger picture, fail to see they have.

3. Gokusen! I know it's already a very old show, but I like it. It's got style. It's about a female teacher from the Yakuza determined to work as a high school teacher, teaching maths. She became the homeroom teacher for a notoriously naughty class, and that's when the fun begins. :)

4. I beat my brother at Golf! Hurray. He used to be better FOR A WHILE. But his glory days are over. After weeks of struggle, it soon proved that I'm the consistent. 6-7-8-9-10 iron is my forte. 45/50 shots go where I want them to - within 10 foot of target. He couldnt even get the ball in the air due to his "diao lang tang" behavior and always dont wanna practise.

5. I lose to my brother at 8-ball! 5-1. The only win was because i sunk the 8-ball on break. There are things I admit. I suck at the angles. Used inappropriate force power. But soon it will be overcomed.

Blessed are those with voices. [Good Night]

Godsend

I have always assumed that the word Godsend means the literally. God-sent.

After checking dictionary.com, I found out that it isn't quite true.

Variation 1:
Something wanted or needed that comes or happens unexpectedly.

Variation 2:
a sudden happening that brings good fortune (as a sudden opportunity to make money); "the demand for testing has created a boom for those unregulated laboratories where boxes of specimen jars are processed like an assembly line."

And we come back to the same question. What is Life? In the recent movie and an old time favorite book, the Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy, the author Douglas Adams mentioned that the answer to the question is , us. Life is the Earth and the people and the animals and whatever lifeform on it. It is an answer that is so immense and overwhelming, that Douglas sums it up that easily. We are Life. It can be seen, touch and felt, it is all around us. We don't need to question that. And actually, we don't. Until people began to become bored. They start to step unto what is unrequired of them. Stuff that brings more and more questions that cannot be answered nor verified. And of course, this whole phenomenon is also part of Life.

Blogging is a Godsend. I'm using my literal form. Which means it's a blessing invention, or innovation. I like to visit other people's blog to peek into their little window of Life. And in doing so, I can understand a little of their agony and their fears, their joys and their love. Humans are just so nice to observe. If I can be a God, sitting there just looking at the little movements below, I would be contented. Assuming that I'm above and I'm not a small deity.

Meanwhile, billiards have been most interesting. I'm beginning to start to understand the physics of the game. Straight shots are not necessarily easy, in fact it is said that 35 degree shots are the easiest. Hard shots include near-90 degree angles. I can't seem to do a good break recently, but at least I found out the way to pot in the 8-ball in 8ball on the break would be to hit in between the 2nd and 3rd ball with a low-english strike.

Surprise

i'm pleasantly surprised that people actually randomly browse blogs when i read the comments, I guess they just want to know a little bit more about the other worlds out there :) Each person has his or her own worlds and his blog is just like a small window to catch a glimpse into that world. Thats provided if he blog properly. hehe.

I believe that pictures speak a thousand words, therefore i'll update with more pictures. A digital cam is a godsend.

recently i'm feeling calm. received sms from weilun@wales. suddenly the world feeels small. even though i'm not at russia, i can feel the cold, i can feel the dread. even though i'm not at japan, i can feel the people, i can feel the houses. this is the power of imagination, here sitting on my chair, life comes to a stand. I can here the hamsters behind me, and i can shut them out if i want to. Imagination is the key.

What many people cannot understand, including the foreign minister , is that there isn't any box. They always say "Think outside of the box", and this is exactly how u should reply, "There is no box". Feel proud about it. Imagination is the key here.

Quotes..

Only after the Last Tree has been cut down,
Only after the Last River has been poisoned,
Only after the Last Fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that
Money Cannot Be Eaten.
-Cree Indian Prophecy

And it is true. We are blinded by money. And sometimes i feel guilty of that. But we all know that the last fish,river,tree is still some way down the road because of many anti-campaigns. these are good. there is balance in the force yet..

Science is ...

these are some of my thoughts recently.. its becoming worse and worse.. i think that science is corrupting us all.. and so is our thinking and mentality.. we are becoming robots of survival.. i was shocked that my friend's friend told her that we should sometimes give up our family in order for self survival , even if it means you will not be filial. i think we are becoming robots, emotionless and unforgiving, if a target is to be eliminated to enable the better growth of self, we should do it, and i think thats the way sciecne is corrupting us.. we are governed by logic and math , physics and chemistry, we are now able to clearly weigh out the cons and pros.. if it means killing a person to be a pro.. we should do it really.. wait i think i typed that wrongly, i mean we shouldnt be doing that. why is society doing this to us, we are supposed to be kind, forgiving souls who wont kill trees to burn them for warmth for ourselves.. we arent supposed to be living with electricity and stuff.. man.. i think we are becoming a deadly parasite to thsi very earth.. we are gonna kill this earth i tell you now if we dont stop our stupid thkning, all those scientists who think they can defy the odds they are just dumb what are they thinking, how can you even create something as DEFYING AS AN ELECTRIC bulb in the past? you guys are insane.. now look at this other topic, man are really becoming more bad, all the bad thigns previously regarded as bad are now becoming acceptable , i think that's really sad and i'm upset that people are trying to change things to amuse themselves, such as doing something 'creative' like making a piece of wood into a piece of 'artistic' chair, i mean, why cant it be JUSt a chair, why make it an artistic one? u sacrifice more wood to make those and i think its just a really bad thing.

Movies

you know it when you go to a movie without looking thru IMDB (which is a movie database with reviews and comments), there's only 3 reasons possible:

1. You didnt bother to check and tries your luck (often leading to bad results)
2. You believe in the opinion of your friends and tries your luck (either good or bad)
3. You have trust in that line of film.

And the third option is exactly what happens with Star Wars Episode III. hell the entire GV is booked from 7pm onwards, and the Citibank Gold Class was OWNED within 2 hours when available for booking (source: Rich). Nice isn't it.

Now, let the march of the empire begin...

Faith & the 1337


Maybe it was me, maybe it wasn't. My previous post was typed out in a matter of seconds, and never was meant to be very serious. As it is, it was stated as a rant, but the flaming I get is more than enough. What is faith you say. Faith in the beliefs of human civilisation, the existence of God, faith that the one will finally come down to Earth one day, to give us his blessings.

Faith that the world of physics will never let you down, the clogs in the clock will turn as it is supposed to be. Faith that the apple wil still drop from the tree, and not glide to the ground.

Faith.

Belief.

Human Thought.

In essence, all your comments have just easily proven my point. What set us from other little animals. We have faith and we have beliefs. We have Gods. There are no known Gods in the animal kingdom except us. We dont see chimpanzees killing their own children to lay sacrifice and we certainly do nto see hamsters doing elaborate artifacts or totems. They are simply not capable of that.

Are we exists from the creation of God, or are we simply a craetion of chance - granted, this we will NEVER EVER know. Why do we even bother? Because we are distinct, we needed to have a creator, and that comes the absurdity.

We're really just creatures who have nothing much better to do. Animals try to procreate and survive, but we have conquered that barrier (at least at the more developed countries). So we tend to have more requirements, requirements that edge on the spectrum of incongruence.

*Disclaimer: Another rant.

**Note to Niki: Just as you think that I am soaked in Science, you are too, soaked in Religion. Because of that, you cannot see that i'm not, and you can argue that i'm the one who can't. However, I'm sure the onlookers are better able to judge it. Maybe we all are.

***2nd Disclaimer: Above note was also rant. Nothing personal.

Daily Activities. I have a few aims now really.
1. Get the PS2 Action Replay MAX EVO to work. But it really requires a high TOC CD/DVD or a good modchip (which i think the current modded PS2 is not). The thing about Sony is they check whether your CD/DVD is pressed. Original DVDs are pressed not burned. That is why our burned DVDs never work unless its a modded PS2 or you can use a swap. well, probability is I cannot get it to work.

2. Sit and meditate for 1 hour. Kendo discipline.

3. Golf.

4. Cook.

5. Game.

6. Cycle.

7. Work is certainly not in the list, but I have my qualms. (yeh, we know).

Where are our mindsets?

It's always in the night, just before you sleep, one might say you think clearest at that moment. coincidentally, the other time which you will think clearest, is also when you wake up and had a good breath.

In this competitive world, we struggle and fight for our bread and our right to survive and speak. But even as we do so, we lack the thing that defines us as humanity. We are able to separate our physical from our mentality, yet this is also not possible. Once we were primates, lead by our instinct for warmth and future generations, now we are lead by the same instincts, but mutated - the need for money.

Money grants us our instinctive needs, but that clearly defines us as what we have always been, animals. We are but animals. We are not any different from the hamster you have in your cage, nor are we any different from the birds that soar free in the sky. Yet because we have a distinct thought, a consciousness, why are we still animals, unable to advocate our own principle thoughts and mentality?

In fact, we are entirely capable of being unique. It is those who are up in the career ladder who are the ones who are capable. It is because they have all stayed true to their principle, their own technology, and thus harvesting on that, they are able to emerge a winner. Why are the workers always remaining a low ranked workers?

That is a balance of the society. For every employer, there are 1 to 1,000 employees. The distinct difference between the 2, usually is their mindset. While the employer functions as a single entity, the employees function as a cohesive ant-mind. The latter thoughts interact and influences greatly with each other, frequently persuasive and requiring the attention of each other. The top however is another new class.

Regards - Just a Rant, trying to be sophisticated, but holes of discrepancies are easily found.
