Perception of Love

What do we all know about love? I believe it's a complex feeling and emotion that each of us will encounter. Either it's the love from your family members or from your friends and even someone that you just know, not to mention God himself (except those atheist people). I would say love is a good thing yet it can also bring disaster.

Love from family and friends are very common to everyone already. In fact, all sort of love also we kind of familiar and even experiencing right at this moment. However, I would like to share my thoughts about love in term of relationship with someone totally not blood related to you. Well, friends fall in this category. Perhaps I'll talk about common love relationship.

For this topic, I think the song sung by Anita Mui and Jackie Cheung really explain a lot about relationships that occurs in many people's life. I personally feels that the chorus talks a lot about lots of people's relationship. I've attached the YouTube video clip here for listening and for reference.



As you can see, at the chorus part of the song, it mentioned that if loving someone over the limit in the relationship, the couple can tends to enemy and hating each other if the relationship doesn't work out the way they expected it to be. To love each other is really difficult. The difficulty lies in each party has their own expectation, and it's really depends on both party to tolerate and to make the relationship viable and sustainable.

Other than that, simply just to love someone is not easy either. Even just to received someone's love that is considered one sided. There is no way those love can return or repay. Those guilt that builds up and you probably will never able to solve it. If you love someone, it also may not return the way you want it to be.

To choose not to love is not too difficult. Unless you are Buddha that can reach enlightenment or perhaps like those monks that you will not be able to get attach with desires. Other than that, I think it's impossible to suppress your feelings. If you like to ignore love also not that simple. The responsibility or empathy to cherish someone important in your life makes life more difficult to control.

The moral of the story, if you found someone that you love, tell them how much you love them before it's too late. Try your best to cherish each other and makes this life the fullest. No matter how, to love is not easy yet challenging, but not to love is even more difficult and sad. Hope everyone will found that someone worth loving.

Earth Axis Tilted Shorten Time by 1.26 Microseconds

Lately I heard a very interesting new. It was about the massive earthquake that struck Chile this year may have shifted Earth's axis and created shorter days according to the scientists at NASA. The change is negligible, but permanent.

We should be having 1.26 microseconds (a microsecond is one-millionth of a second) shorter each day, according to preliminary calculations. The large quake shifts massive amounts of rock and alters the distribution of mass on the planet, which changes the rate at which the planet rotates, where the rotation rate determines the length of a day.



The Earth spins on an axis that is tilted some 23.5° from the vertical. But this position is far from constant – the planet's axis is constantly shifting in response to changes in the distribution of mass around the Earth.

The changing climate has long been known to move Earth's axis. The planet's north pole, for example, is migrating along 79 °W – a line of longitude that runs through Toronto and Panama City – at a rate of about 10cm each year as the Earth rebounds from ice sheets that once weighed down large swaths of North America, Europe, and Asia.

Scientists estimate that the melting of Greenland's ice is already causing Earth's axis to tilt at an annual rate of about 2.6cm and that may increase significantly in the coming years. Now, they calculate that oceans warmed by the rise in greenhouse gases can also cause the Earth to tilt.

Researchers found that as the oceans warm and expand, more water will be pushed up and onto the Earth's shallower ocean shelves. Over the next century, the subtle effect is expected to cause the northern pole of Earth's spin axis to shift by roughly 1.5 cm per year in the direction of Alaska and Hawaii. The effect is relatively small but the motion is strong enough that it needs to be taken into account when interpreting shifts in Earth's axis.

The German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, says the new work overturns previous ideas. "Up to now, people had believed that height variations [from ocean temperature changes] gave no contribution to polar motion," he told New Scientist. "This is an effect that now has to be considered."

Climate change can also affect the Earth's spin. Previously, the researchers showed that global warming would cause Earth's mass to be redistributed towards higher latitudes. Since that pulls mass closer to the planet's spin axis, it causes the planet to rotate faster. This is similar the the earthquake in Chile.

In summary, by thinking about all the information we gathered, Chile is one of the best example that redistribution of Earth's mass can cause the Earth to rotate faster, which causes shortening of Earth time. Global warming may cause the ice to melt and changes the Earth's mass, and thinking it back, this might lead to another time shift.

Would you want to create a world that we all live right now to change to a degree that beyond recognisable? Lets do our part to preserve Earth as out time has just shorten by 1.26 microseconds from the Chile incident.

The Story of Stuff & Bottled Water

I came across this 2 video clips on YouTube and thanks to it, I got this urge to blog it here, which I think it's good to share with all of you. It's really the time for us to consider some alternatives to salvage our planet Earth before it's beyond our limit to preserve it anymore.

Although thinking about it, I might have the feeling that it's slightly too late to do much to reverse the global warming reality, but we can still do our part to salvage it, prevent it to get worsen. I am worry if the hypothesis is right about the methane hydrate, which I blog about it in the previous blog, then we are facing the end of the world pretty soon if we do not do anything to repent our mistakes.

Hope you guys get a little bit more inspiration and motivation after watching this clips.

Methane Hydrate May Lead To Extinction of Mankind

I guess not many of us actually know what is methane hydrate. I do not want my blog to be too lengthy, so I will briefly explain about it. Methane hydrate or also known as methane clathrate is a frozen lattice-like substance, which can be found underlying our oceans and polar permafrost in huge amount. This crystalline combination of a natural gas and water looks remarkably like ice but burns if it meets a lit match. For more details about this substance, do read it from Wikipedia or Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory websites.

The reason this substance capture my attention to share it with you is not of its special features such can it can be burn in ice form but the potential of this substance to wipe out mankind. Yes, I am not kidding if we keep on contributing to global warming. It's not a joke.

Methane is a powerful green house gas which has a global warming potentil (GWP) of 62 over 20 years and 21 over 100 years (IPCC, 1996; Berner and Berner, 1996; vanLoon and Duffy, 2000). The sudden release of large amounts of natural gas from methane hydrate deposits has been hypothesized as a cause of past and possibly future climate changes. Events possibly linked in this way are the Permian-Triassic extinction event. Recent research carried out in 2008 in the Siberian Arctic has shown millions of tons of methane being released with concentrations in some regions reaching up to 100 times above normal.

Why is this a concern to us? Methane gas is not very stable in the atmosphere, which they literally converted to carbon dioxide which have a longer shelf life. If we did not play our part in order to reduce global warming, it might lead to the ocean's temperature increase, which later causing the methane hydrate to melt. The consequences, it triggers a positive feedback mechanism where it increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and lead to severe green house effect. You may read this in Discovery News on "Gas Releases Helped End Ice Ages" to know more how this may cause catastrophic effect to us.

Below is a video from YouTube about methane hydrate. Do watch it as it is a very informative.


Hope this blog does aware us about the importance of reducing global warming. I'm blogging about this in conjunction with the Earth Hour. It's part of my contribution to make an awareness to all of us. Lets save our Mother Earth in order to save ourselves. Salvation is in our hand.

Stress Indication

Recently I got this email with the photo as above attached, which claim to be able to indicate whether you are stressful or not. The illustration is static, however if you found that it's moving, it indicates that you are stressful. The faster the movement, the more stressful you are.

It is claimed that the young and old people will find the illustration to be as static as still water. I have no idea how true it is. So lets try and check out your stress level. ^^

Year 2010!!!

It's the very last few hours left for year 2009 and year 2010 is coming into picture. Here goes the old year, all the bad stuff, all those stupid fight, stupid hatred and lousy things we have been through and it's time to welcome the new year with new hopes and dreams.

New year suppose to be something to be cheering about but then for me, it's nothing much to be joyful for. I still have to go to work on the very next day on new year, the Saturday for overtime as there are a whole lots of claims to be settle. I guess I will be having overtime for the coming week as well after having so many days overtime already.

New year does not seems too good too. It sounds more likely to tell you that you are older another one more year, you are soon to be someones uncle or aunt, or even that we are closer to the year 2012, the so-call-end-of-the-world myth.

However, there are still some good things about it. You have a day off from work as it's a public holiday, you can have new dreams, you can hope for increment of salary or bonus (if you eligible to) and repeat those special days with your loves ones.

So hope you guys have a nice new year and enjoy your holiday. Happy New Year 2010!! ^^

Life is a Knowledge Itself

We always go through a lot of stages in life. When we were born into this world, we go through a time where we only eat, sleep and excreting "stuff" that we do not want. That is our baby-hood.

After that, we have some time where we learn how to walk, how to speak, and learn a lot more things yet we have the time to play and explore things we curious about. That is our childhood.

As we aged and turn to be adolescences, we became curious about a lot more things and imagination runs wild and this is the time where we learn about up and down in our life. We learn from all our mistakes that we have done, or perhaps we do not realize it till it is too late.

When we step into the working world or so called adult world, things change again. Every stages of life is just like an experience that we learn all our life. There is like no end for learning. It is just depends on you wanted to learn it or to avoid it.

Sometimes, it makes me realized that things that we see now, that we have now, that owned now or even our feeling might not last eternally. Only God seems to be eternal here in the picture. However, most of the time, we will neglect Him and too busy with our daily life.

If you does not realize it, try to ask yourself some of these questions and you might actually find it quite true. Do you recall all your primary and secondary classmates and do you still contacting all of them regularly? Are your best friends in your primary and secondary school still the same best friend you have right now?

Other than that, how about your partner? Is he or she your first love? Do you think he or she is permanent for you? Well, this sounds a bit bad but it's the fact. Not all people encounter good eternal love kind of relationship. Some people have to hide and seek their love, some even have to be hiding their own feelings towards someone.

So treasure every minutes you have with someone that you treasure or you love. They might not always be around you but do take some time for each other. Do try to make your life the best you can. There is no re-take.

Horrible Video (Viewer Discretion is Advised)

I just watched a video shared on Facebook by a friend of mine, Kim Fah which is so sick that I almost wanna throw out. Luckily I'm not a doctor and need not to deal with such a scenario. Gosh, it's so disgusting but at the same time, I really pity that man.

I attached the link here, "very bad accident". If you guys think that you are interested to watch such scene or brave enough for it, then "enjoy". I hope you guys don't puke after watching it or having nightmares for it. God bless the soul of that man.

A Sad Yet Touching Story - Please Help Them If You Can



I saw this clip on Facebook at first (which posted by a friend of mine) and I felt so touch by the video. I did shed tears for the kids and I'm really proud of that little sister, taking care of her own brothers and sisters. She is amazing and determinate.

Please prepare some tissue paper while watching this short video except that you are heartless person, then you need not to prepare anything. Perhaps just prepare some money and donate to them. They are starving and it's really sad to see this actually happening.

This clips seems to be one of the San Damiano Foundation's work. You may refer to their website and see what you can help them if you are capable in doing so. If I have capability, I will donate to this foundation to help them up.

I hope the world can see this too. Why not the nations trying to help this people? They need food to survive, nutritional food. They need not your pity only, they need real people and real action for them to survive.

I think I should say this to everyone out there, if you not ready to take good care of your own kids, please don't make one. Abandon them almost similar to killing them in a slower pace only. For me, I rather not getting a baby if I don't think I'll be a good father or parents. So, hope you guys think twice before making a baby.

'Lao Zha Bor' Rap



I can't believe what I have just seen this in YouTube.com. I can't believe that she really have a blog, laozhabor.blogspot.com. I did not really read about it because it's mainly in Chinese words and I can't understand it.

It's funny video that she comes up with and she does rock kinda bit. An old lady like her still can rap. Oh my God, even me can't rap at all. LOL. Hope you guys enjoy this clip. It's in my Facebook too. Have fun.

Some People Are Just Annoying

I wonder have you ever know somebody or meet someone which are really annoying? How do you feel of this kind of people? What do you do to get rid of them or to stop their annoying actions?

Sometime, you do not want to hurt that person that you are not interested in what they are trying to convey to you or you don't like that particular stuff, but they just keeps on telling you the same thing or they use different approach to you. Once or twice is still okay. However after sometime, it will be annoying especially if they constantly approaching you.

Sometimes, I hope they just don't be so materialistic. Do not find you because they need you only for certain things. Friendship is to be cherish not to be abandon. Try to understand others as well. If they don't like it, or they cannot help, try others instead. Persistence is good but overly doing it will become disaster. If you don't mind losing a friend, they continue doing what you like.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson is a superstar that we all know. He is the King of Pop that hard to be replace. I heard of his name since I'm still a kid when my daddy listen to his songs. There are many good song of his that instill in everyone mind or heart. He leave this world such a young age. He will be remembered. I dedicate this blog to him.







The above 3 MV's (music videos) were the earlier MV of Michael Jackson. The are 'Thriller', 'Beat It', and 'Billie Jeans'. He was still black that time. All those are great songs. But then I prefer his later production such as the 'Black or White', 'Heal The World', 'Remember The Time', 'You are Not Alone' and so on. I felt those song have more purpose.



'Black or White' this MV is kinda great MV. The changing faces at the end of the MV somehow indicating there is no different whether you are black or white skin. No racism is the best.



Heal The World' is one of my favourite. It is a very good way to express no war, one nation kind of message to the world.



'You are Not Alone' is one of the best song as well. I kinda always sing this song in karaoke. Kinda lovely song.



So, hope all of you enjoy this blog.
