I have decided to start blogging again. Do read. I hope it is educational. Like to help with GP. I would like to think my blog is enriching enough. The grammar is good, I do not really use short forms and 1337 speak, the spelling is ok minus the occasional typo, and my vocabulary is not excellent, but its not dismal either. But I guess you could read dictionaries if youre into the whole vocabulary thing. Just to clarify some doubts.
OK. Recently, there has been a major problem with made-in-China products. First it was the fake buns. Then it was the fake video about the buns. And now, falling under the microscope are sweets and toys. This time they are not fake. What would a fake sweet or toy be like? I'm assuming sour or some other flavour. And the toys actually are collectors items not to be taken out of the original pakaging for fear of diminishing the value of mint-condition action figures. Frankly, those are not dangerous. Unless geeks like threaten to destroy the internet. As I write this post, I have reports coming in about Chinamade clothing. I dont have much information on that so i will dwell on the toys. And a China Airways aeroplane just exploded. I think they mixed it up with a toy. Guys who make planes, those are the real thing, not toys. Stick to what you know best, toys. And just because you see them in the sky so small, do not think they are as small as those model planes you make.
American toy company Mattel has recalled a lot of made-in-China toys because authorities have found them to be dangerous to children, being either chemical or physical hazards. Some have magnets that come off and are small, and children can swallow them and choke to death. Others have parts with toxic lead paint.
This is appalling, as unsuspecting children are now at risk from rogue toys. Heck Mr. Bush, just foget terrorists, China poses more of a threat to you now, not Iraq. Go bomb them.
The topic should not be laughed at. Imagine this scene; A child who has been hospitalised because she has been playing with "Poison-Me Barbie" recieves a get well gift, a "Choke-on-my-Magnet Polly Pocket". The cruel irony. We cannot let this continue.
Apparently, some guy at the top has killed himself over this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he jumped to his death. Heres an idea, not that it would make a difference because he's already dead. Why didnt he just play with his toys? I'm quite sure he had a lot of leftovers. And also, if the toys didnt kill him, then he would not have had to kill himself. Sheer genius.
Turns out, these toys are not as dangerous as they seem. Lead paint is used in miniscule proportions. Still, I believe this is just a safety precaution. We wouldnt want one in a million American kids die from Chinamade toys, but we wouldnt mind causing a lot of people a lot of trouble. However, we dont mind killing loads of middle eastern kids and causing a lo of people trouble. Maybe if the toys killed more kids, it would be ok...

Have a Good Friday!
Heya! I'm not feeling emo now, but I've been feeling kinda emo a lot lately. Some of you can attest to that. Anyway, my title kinda says it. I can't think of anything else to say cos I'm not inspired yet.
But have you considered...
Good Friday is one of the more holier dates to Christians. But if its that holy, why stop at good? Good doesnt quite cover it. so why not Awesome Friday? Smashing Friday? Excellent Friday? or like superlateive. Best Friday. And the DotA version, Beyond Godlike Friday. But I guess that would be kinda weird. Beyond Godlike. isnt that kinda the point of Good Friday? Godlike? or rather god? hmmm anyway to all Christians out there, happy Good Friday! or Good Good Friday. heck.

US glosses over paper cut
Today(later there will be talk of yesterday. I'm only adding the first part on today, the day after i wrote the later part before the even later part which i wrote today. just before this.), i went for guitar. showed everyone else how to play spain properly. theyre still doing it rong, but not as wrong as last time. anyway thats not the weird part. the weird part is that mr gaspar asked me to do an ad lib for spain. solo. aka stand up and play a melody alone. on a contrabass. so i got what i wanted after all. and thats not ncessarily a good thing. means I have to practice... well good luck to me...
Top of the news today(or rather yesterday. i was halfway though the post yesterday when i had to stop. so there.): the US has imposed tariffs on imports of China-made glossy paper. whoa hold it there. glossy paper? you got to be kidding me. first of all, why just stop at glossy paper? why not all paper? from card to tracing paper to tissue paper. and is this paper actually that much cheaper? maybe not on a small scale, but on large scales, like when youre fabricating evidence of non-existent weapons of mass destruction, for example, it does make a difference. lets do the math. if each piece of paper is .01 cents cheaper, then a few million sheets would cost 1000 dollars less. thats still not a lot. but note that paper is used for everyday things. writing documents, search warrants, school assignments, and tools of torture, so ther will be more than a million. probably thousands of millions. meaning 100s and thousands of dolars saved.
But all this fuss over glossy paper? its not like theyre fighting over nuclear disarmament or prisoners being wrongfully held or so called weapons of mass destruction that china has. its glossy paper. maybe glossy paper is a code word, so that the media wont send wrong signals to the public.
Washington is increasing duties from 10.9% to 20.4%. see i did my research. anyway thats a 10% increase. a lot. and this is paper. i believe that paper should be free, and that people have the right o free paper, so I will liberate paper from the opression of the evil paper tyrant who controls paper with an iron fist...
sorry i got a bit side tracked. back to the point. now there are cheap chinese products coming into the US. this is bad for them. duh. and they are trying to decrease the trade deficit. and theyre doing this by imposing tariffs on glossy paper. this is a sure fire way to get the deficit down. you see mr bush sir, you should have just invaded china instead of iraq. this is what you get when you dont nip problems in the bud. but you had to bring up your vendetta against saddam hussein. and theres the oil. but youre still worse off cos china still is in commision. maybe its not too late... now all you can accuse them of doing is handing out government grants and other unfair subsidies.come on you can do better than that. like accuse them of having weapons of mass destruction! you did that with iraq you can do it with china. and it doesnt matter if the international community doesnt agree with you. you can do it anyway.
Us commerce secretary Mr. Carlos Gutierrez said, i quote"it does not signal any eonomic retreat from engagement with China, rather it speaks of the growing strength of our commercial relationship and the fact that as economic partners, we must be, above all, fair." now consider this. as econoic partneres we must be fair above all else. is bombing ppl under false pretenses for economic gain fair? how bout all those peopel who lost their lives? not just the people you invade, but those invading, who are none the wiser? maybe it is fair. on your terms. so china beware. this is what fair really means.

The Bird Flu away
hi! first of all, before i bore some of you. concerts coming up! i'll help advertise for rock. 13th april. friday the 13th. rock concert. I'm going. haha. and 20th april is jazz concert. I'll be playing. and 19th may is malay drama. whee. titular role. and there will be, i think, english subtitles. whee. and there is talk about a guiar concert after all. yay.
ok, now to the big issue. the H5n1 virus has been stirring up a storm in the media recently. Birds all over the place are dying. Most fittingly, birds were reported dead in turkey. and turkey is a bird. great. were just lucky that our country is not called pigeon. then maybe the virus would hit us next. and indonesia has been hit. not surprising because the national air carrier of the country is garuda. and garuda is a bird, for the benefit of those who didnt know. and that garuda must have caught the flu overseas and brought it back home. pesky international flights. i bet wilbur and orville never thought about that. still, someone should have known to make the garuda wear a facemask or something, or like notice a sneezing plane. something that big cant have gone unnoticed. te noise must have been loud too. but i guess its engines could have drowned out the sneezing. how bout the dripping nose? maybe that garuda airlines crash was a result of the bird flu...
anyway, now indonesia has the bird flu. i really feel sorry for our neighbour. they have to put up with haze, earthquakes, tsunamis, plane crashes, boat crashes, erosion and now bird flu. well we shared some of the hardship, namely the haze and the erosion. well we didnt experience the erosion, but we sure had a hard time. now bird flu. and they refuse to give away samples of the virus. why? because the pharmaceutical companies would just exploit them. well, thats true. but people say that if they dont give the samples, people will die, especially in a pandemic. i dont want to die, but i dont want the MAN get my cash by exploiting my neighbours. go exploit someone your own size. (at this point of time I am addressing the pharmaceuticals) like microsoft or something. send them the virus through the mail. or an email for those tech savvy people. and then they would have to sell you the virus and you can make a profit by selling the vaccine to them at exorbitant prices. see it is better than exploiting poor people. rich people have money which they can dispose of. everyone wins! well as i said, people dont want others to die, even at a price (now that i have addressed the pharmaceuticals, i am now addressing you he reader. if you the reader happen to be part of the pharmaceuticals, then i'll still address you now) well, look at it this way. if indonesia pays for the vaccine, they will be set back economically. that would be bad for a lot of people. even those without bird flu. so maybe letting people die isnt that bad after all. i know thats not right, but we must look on the bright side.
if indonesia does give the samples away, i just hope that the pharmaceuticals will be truthful about the vaccine. it would be a sad day when 2 schoolgirls test out the vaccine for certain stuff but find it completely lacking contrary to what the pharmaceuticals say.
at the back of my mind, i cant help but feel that the pharmaceuticals have already done something. that is the bird flu itself. someone must have created bird flu. birds dont just get flu. they have feathers. the most they get is getting ticklish when their feathers rub them the wrong way.
you know, bird flu might not be such a bad thing after all. it could help kill off the JI...

It's high time I Ran towards nuclear energy
Hey. ppl say my blog is wordy. i kinda agree. so i will shorten more of my posts. i would like to apologise for a mistake. OK wasnt on my birthday, but rather on the 23rd march. got it mixed up.
anyway i believe that Iran should be allowed to have nuclear power. The country is already poor, and nuclear energy can help them in a positive way. so they could use it o make bombs. america says so. but the last time they said so and everybody believed them, people died for nothing, not from those bombs which they said existed. and everyone knows nuclear isnt the way to go. this is because you can never use it without knowing youre dead. for example, iran has a nuke. president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fires one at the US. the US gets angry. fires 3 or 4 nukes back at them for good measure. they all die. its a zero-sum game when dealing with nuclear weapons. that means, for those who dont already know, that there is not winner at the end if each party takes the best strategy. worst case scenario, the earth blows up. best case scenario, no nukes fired. didnt we all learn this during the cold war? and why can the US have nukes? and nuclear power? they dont use all the stuff for weapons. And i believe that mr ahmadinejad is sincerely trying to help his country, and it is clear that a bit nuke would not help iran at all. like they got a nuke. so what. nuclear energy will help the country out of poverty.
and another iran issue. the movie 300 seems nice. its cool. semi naked men fighting brutally. well, the iranian head honchos say that its propaganda and portrays iran in a bad way. well, i cant say i agree with them. like people would connect persians with iran. ok maybe they would. but not the americans. most of them. and it is fairly accurate. the gist of it is there. and hey, look on the brightside. the show shows the persians winning. thats good isnt it? it says iran can win against the americans. if the movie is to be taken seriously. for these stuff, i kinda admire mr ahmadinejad. hes a real brave man. brave to stand against world powers. not commenting on whether he is right or wrong, but he still is brave. like george bush, when he undertook the iraq war, being brave because he must have known it would screw him later on. or maybe he really didnt think of that...
anyway shoutout to diyanah. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! may you be able to pass math. ok not pass, but do well. yay!

Formula for success
Salutations. I hope my blog s as thought provoking as ever. Life as I know it is similar. Similar to yesterday. Except that my day ended much earlier. But nevertheless, various commitments bogged me down a little. Or rather bLogged. OK maybe not. I am still bummed about guitar not having concert. And that people are dropping from jazz like flies. Linky and now maybe Ian. Theyre all in my band. what luck. at least we could cope without Linky because our band was pretty overkill with 2 guitarists. So now Bagus and I can alternate between guitar and bass. But no Ian? like drummer dude. We need him. No Ian, band cant really work. makes me feel like dropping jazz. It seems i got a lot of commitments. Then maybe I'll join rock and get loads of gigs, be famous, and take over the world.
Anyway, to a more interesting matter. There has been much talk about Singapore and formula one. Bringing formula one to Singapore. Costs a lot. Gets loads of cash. Malaysia has it. So logic goes we can have it. Whee! Why didt the government turn down the offer years ago? Formula one is dangerous and encourages dangerous driving. OK. First of all, formula one cars are probably the 4th safest cars, behind a non-working car, a carrot and a carbohydrate. Formula one cars are purpose-built for speed, but they have to make it safe, because its in the team's best interest. Formula one drivers are paid an arm and a leg for ever leg of the season, but if they lose an arm and a leg, the team loses more arms and legs. And they have to get another guy to pay an arm and a leg. Not good business.
And secondly, i think only kids would be influenced to drive "dangerously' by formula one. And, in Singapore, its hard to get up to even the average lap speed of a formula one car. One, car isnt fast enough. Two, Singapore is small, You probably encounter a bend as you reach 40 kmh.
Anyway the government realise its a mistake. Good for them. So now we talk about a race in Singapore. And in a time with a lot of firsts, like Raikkonnen's first win at the first grand prix of the year, ahead of the first guy from the previous season with the first numbered car and behind him the first black formula one driver on his first formula one race and his first ever podium finish. If i count correctly, thats 7 firsts in the past weekend in formula one. So now Singapore doesnt want to be left out of the first spree. So the race here might be the first night race. Whoa. And it makes things real convenent for europeans. and americans, but i think that would be one or two of them. So for us asians, we have to stay up late, go to school and work groggy. great. but its cool because WE GOT THE NIGHT RACE LOSERS! but fernando aloso says it could be a problem. Night race makes racing hard to see. well, formula one is so advanced, that cars turn at speeds they shouldnt and they can drive upside down. That probably means formula one races can be as advanced and they will find a way to get around that problem. or maybe like make the sun stay out much longer, past peoples bedtimes.
But now, formula one in Singapore. Malaysia wont be too pleased. They will no longer be able to say to us that they have formula one but we dont. and wed just get more money than we probably deserve. and Indonesia might complain. they definitely eed the cash more than us. and Thailand is probably upset already over the formula one issue, and they are threatening haze for us. Were sick of haze, and with the haze, visibility will be so low that cars racing will crash. I believe this s a great strategy on the part of the thai government. since it is cunning and clever, i harbour no ill feelings towards them. just a little bummed that formula one would not be coming to Singapore. I'm a fan. maybe, if we gather enough formula one fans, we can blow the haze away! and since its formula one, we will be high tech fans and will be more effective.
Now, if Thailand can do that to us from so far away (OK maybe not that far), then what can Indonesia do? like they unintentionally cause haze for us and its really bad haze. Imagine what they can do when they intentionally give it to us? And Malaysia can just cut water and let us drink our own waste instead of theirs. And the US... well they have their own grand prix. and nascar. but they might just quote their intelligence and give us a pre-emptive strike anyway. So, i suggest we make our friendly neighbours happy. I do ot believe they would resort to this because they are nice people, no doubt about that. But as a worst case scenario, we are screwed. So why leave that to chance. If we are lucky, the various governments will not be pmsy and screw us.
What I suggest would be to make the race such that all countries would benefit from it. So, we can have a track which spans across southeast asia. starts off here in Singapore, then a few turns here and there, straight to Malaysia and then Thailand, back the way it came, trough singapore with a few more turns, down through Indonesia, off to Hawaii across the pacific ocean, back to Singapore with a few more turns and then circuit. With this, all countries will be happy. And is this too long? well formula one cars are real fast. shouldnt be a problem with straights. and the race will cross different timezones, so it could be night here but day in the US! brilliant! not lighting problem. So we wont be clusterbombed while were choking when we breathe in. or at least we will see the carpet bombs coming.
So I guess thats all I have to say for now. Hope this wasnt too wordy...
