Swine Virus Outbreak

With the good news of the world's economy recovering by the end of the 3rd quarter, the Swine Virus hits the world unprepared and surprised. Spreaded from Mexico, with just a mere 1 day, this virus strain has spreaded all the way to Sichuan, China Mainland.

With the Chinese media hiding their truth from the world, how can we really fight off this crisis that's worse than Bird Flu prepared? Hasn't the Melamine's Case caused a panic in Food's Health Issue? With knowledge of this strain of virus spreading to unexpected countries, what's our government doing? Doing health checks & monitoring on Europens and Mexicans? What about our Asians? How can they be sure that the other foregin visitors from Asia is totally safe? Does'nt mean that we must ONLY take precaution at places where there's cases on it. Learn from Hong Kong. At least they know that their country took a big hit from 03's Bird Flu and is not overlooking any minor details of any cases of infection FROM ANYONE. It's time to learn from them....dear SG

Trust me, by the end of this week, new areas of Infection case will arise in Asia. Considering the fact that the Chinese pandemic control agency is not really as efficent as others. So spreading to other Asian countries, well....is common. Just hope our government will take REALTIME MEASURES on this. Hope it's not too late by then, if not I'll be watching "I am Legend" LIVE

17092009

It's Friday and hang out to catch FAst & Furious 4. Expect it to be much nicer than Tokyo Drift since Van Disel is back with his cool and stunts.No. The show turns out to be those typical car racing, weeds n chicks revenge story plot who just doesnt give the auidence a much higher climax than they deserve. So would rate 6 out of 10.

After the show, passby FairPrice Xtra and say 2 guys holding down 1 guy. Three things come to my mind for why that guy deserves that:

- Fighting (nah)
- Molester?
- Thief?

Watever the reason, Singaporeans crowded and what's next is SO predictable that I guess u would know it. *snap snap*

Will be on STOMP by tml if not the next. SG mah...great

Countdown to reopening of school

Yes it's just a mere few days away from the reopening of school and the thing is that....I don't know my class! The 'shitty' feeling is what I get upon not knowing my class for the new Year! But fear not, I checked yandao.com and there's no update that could enable me to check my new class. Damn! The next hope and the last was myrp.net If that does'nt work, I'm not sure what's next. So I tried. Thankfully I can enter the the main page, but still the thing is I must enter LEO to check my class. So I try, no VPN = no access. Arghh! Install VPN try again...if my rp password is erased...then it's gg for me. Pray.....*cross-finger*........and wheeeeeeeeeeee got in! Finally knew what class I'm in.

OK, the last thing that least trouble me was that I can't use my own laptop at the start of sch SINCE it's still under repairs. Hope it can make it in time *cross-finger*

Reusing the old

Dam laptop, spoilt again. With no other choice, my dad turned to my "ancient" CPU that's been left there for ages. 1st reaction I got was: "Ok...why would u bother to fix up such an old com?"

Best reply for the day: " I don't wanna see u infront of the laptop, I rather see u infront of this big bulky monitor" Nothing to say...oh ya he add-on: "U can use it for games, downloads, songs, shows whatever I don't care. As long as u don't touch that laptop of yours. I'll stop my nags"

"oooooooooooookkkkkkk............................"

After few hours of waiting(which I don't even care whether there's a com for me to use nowadays), finally got it working lol and....no sound! WHAT? Nvm....check...and check...no sound device found. Great... no Heroes, Lost, Smallville etc...Damn.

Got to carry bak that bulky shit to the servicer which is way better that the 1st floor one. Conman is the word I would describe that bastard-run shop. Tried to throw in mew hardwares and claims that my old CPU is unworkable since everying and anything in the metal casing has fail running! Wat are u thinking? I'm not that dumb to give u $180 for just a change of new stuff which I don't even need in the first place! Damn it! This happen twice, the 1st happen when my laptop spoil for the 1st time. Same reason, same old pricing. Con-man

Sunday...

Disturbed by mozzie bites, woke up around 3am in the morning zzzz. Cold came along with it, great...until around 4am I then lie down in bed again. While asleep, dreamt a few stuff that is both realistic and not so realistic. I told myself that I'm gonna do this stuff call "Dexter's Top 5: You know it's wrong when..." So let's start!


Number 5!

........................

You know it's wrong when.......[People start praying to kettles]


Number 4!

..........................

You know it's wrong when.......[People thinks that nothing makes a girl or guy more attractive than to dress exactly like hundreds of thousands of other girls and guys who all dress exactly like girls and guys in malls. ]

Number 3!

.......................

You know it's wrong when.......[People can type an SMS on your phone as quickly as you would if you had a regular keyboard.]


Number 2!

.......................

You know it's wrong when....[Kids starts to hold guns when they should have been holding books instead!]

and for Dexter's No. 1 You know it's wrong.............

[You've lost your sense of irony, sarcasm, and cynicism. ]

That's all for now. Later people!
