48th Independence---Still nothing to be proud of

<<< flag drawn in 2 minutes


As we approach our 48th national day, it seems that we have all grown up. We have achieved many greats achievement----hosting F1, tallest twin building, politically and physically. Aih.... But these actually don't reflect the truth. Like it or not, Malaysians mentality generally is ......Though we are known as a developed third world country, our mentality is still like those in third world. Many bad services in our country.. taxi drivers are already a good example. Goverment servants also don't provide good services. We just didnt give the needed and much expected services...Many of us thought that we are fast developing country, but the development is too fast.True. But our mentality is not suitable for this type of the fast development. Many people also tried to 'bring' Malaysia up...but actually we still lack the ability. One good example is the government' move to send an astronaut to space by 2007. RM95 million will be spend to choose the special one....China haven't send...Japan haven't send.....Many developed countries also never send a team to the space ,Our technology is still far far bedind....so what make us need to send a man to the space, isn't it better we spend that money on somewhere else??
Lastly, I hope that we will live in peace forever.....Peace on you all

Funny card

James Bluehawke's bro's friend owned some very odd cards.....As you can see the picture on your left, there are 15 of diamonds and spades of 14...and even 3 1/2 clubs....well we can make some magic with this cards........

Do we learn from history...?

Aih....the recent haze in Malaysia is not the first time. In 1983 and throughout the 1990s, the haze had constantly strike back at us...People protest against the forest burning...but the government's move is not enough to stop those irresponsible company who tend to pembakaran terbuka...In the recent's haze, it is suspected that the culprits are actually malaysians, there are numerous hotspots in sumatra as well as in our own place. They doesnt care about the environment and others health, but they just care about themselves. The government too acted too slow..They waited until the API to reach 500 only declare haze of emergency....before they announce emergency dunno how many people die lo...and if earlier declare emergency can no need to goto skool mar..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I believe that every country has its own secrets..they hide secrets from their citizens..they fooled the history students..they try to brainwash them..they want to make them think the country is great....
for example, american children are not taught of the controversial Vietnam war...now I dont think that many youngsters know what actually happen at the Vietnam war..Like the Iraq war, I believe in the future children will be taught that the US invaded Iraq because Iraq was suspected keeping nuclear weapons, and not because of the oil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
malaysian Sejarah textbooks is also a joke...I was very disappointed that from form 1 to form 5 some of the chapters are repeated...we are learning the same thing again and again..that means we are actually wasting paper,time, money. There is so little about the world history that we can gain knowledge from. I think that the gov were trying to make everyone learn Islam deeper and deeper. The number of chapters of Islam has been increasing throughout last few years. But this is a multi-cultural country, eventhough Islam is our agama kebangsaan , that doesnt mean that Islam should be included in almost a quarter of the syllabus. We learn little about our country but lots of details(even the one who menyusui NM in included) in the Islam..whereas we learn nothing about others country, isn't it shameful if we dunno about other countries background? There are also some facts that are actually one-sided...Japanese were thought to be great last time...and little was talk about their 'cold-bloodedness' when attacking our country... History should not be hide from anyone, if not what for we learn history? to listen to all these lies?

Did man landed on the moon??

When I was small I was amaze how men reached the moon. However, my brothers told me that everything was fake---no man reached the moon. I've read some articles, and I am more sceptical towards the Apollo moon landing. There are proofs that are strong enough to tell that all the moon-landing was a hoax...
First, why would the NASA do this?? In 1961, when Yuri Gagarin of USSR became the first man to reach the space, President JFK ordered a congress and decided to put a man on the moon, because the NASA were trailing behind the Russians in the space race. That’s why JFK proposed this to save the face of the Americans. Therefore in 1969 July 20th, Apollo 11 was put in the space…there were live coverage around the world; people thought mankind has achieved another success. However, all this was in doubt when Ralph Rene suspected that the moon landing is only a hoax.
For a start, he says, the TV footage was hopeless. The world tuned in to watch what looked like two blurred white ghosts throw rocks and dust. Part of the reason for the low quality was that, strangely, NASA provided no direct link up. So networks actually had to film man's greatest achievement from a TV screen in Houston - a deliberate ploy, says Rene, so that nobody could properly examine it.
For the photo “taken on the moon”, experts accused that it is fake.
The major point, which has helped convince me that the moon landing was faked, was the fact that when the control room asked a question to the Astronauts the replies were instant with no delays. This seems strange, as even with technology in the 1990's there is a delay from satellite links from the UK to the US. There is about a 0.7 second delay from London to California so how is it possible for instant replies from the Moon?
There is also evidence that when people go into space that there voice goes tense although the Astronauts voices have been analyzed and found to be normal, and 7/10 people said it sounded like someone reading from a script. Below are some of the weird things in the photo taken by NASA. There are lots of space oddities...

SPACE ODDITIES
1. Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven airflow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.
2. A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Lander lifting off the Moon. Who did the filming?
3. One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?
4. The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.
5. The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't America make a signal on the moon that could be seen from earth? The PR would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with magnesium flares. (this is a weak point)
6. Text from pictures in the article said that only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot?
7. The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon?
8. How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars?
9. The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts’ feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust. The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired
There are still many people believes that NASA did sent men to the moon. But the behaviour of those NASA people is really weird. Despite these conspiracy theories, NASA won't respond to any of these claims, they just said that they did sent a man to the moon and claim that the pictures were real, but they didnt prove it. Several years after NASA claimed its first Moon landing, Buzz Aldrin "the second man on the Moon" was asked at a banquet what it felt like to step on to the lunar surface. Aldrin staggered to his feet and left the room crying uncontrollably. It would not be the last time he did this. . Aldrin may felt guilty of the hoax. If they did sent men to the moon, why they don't try to better their feat?? They suk is it?
However there are still some people out there who thinks that we did have a man on the moon, they too provided some evidences, but for me the conspiracy theory still look like a bigger possibility. Below are some websites that argue about the moonhoax. You can learn more and decide for yourself.

Whose Fish?

This riddle is reportedly made by Albert Eistein(maybe only).
This brainteaser, reportedly written by Einstein is difficult and Einstein said that 98% of the people in the world could not figure it out. Which percentage are you in?

There are five houses in a row in different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet, one of which is a Walleye Pike.

The question is-- who owns the fish?

Hints:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Malls keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Princes.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

the final day...

today, the last day for armani. today we spent half a day with him. most importantly, we met our long-lost friend, nickname the satellite.ear,a xiao xue friend of bai sha luo. It is so unbelievable to have meet him again. Until the 6th of August,thanks to armani's amazing memory fightback, he suddenly remembers satellite ear's email...at last he online and once again reunited,at least for a day.
However it's really a pity that not all of us are able to see armani for the last time before he leaves for Singapore..no matter how, we will keep contact each other.
