Goodbye USA pt 2

Was cleaning up my room yesterday... tossing away boxes and boxes of college work, notes, handouts, etc.
Reorganizing my computer to ready it for a new 7200rpm hdd which I'll hopefully be able to install into the VAIO laptop.
Selling more of my remaining books online (decided not to bring them back).
Trying to sell my speakers, monitor, fridge and guitar hero drum set.

The days go by... I hope I'm able to bring back most of my stuff.

Goodbye USA pt 1

So I'm going back to Malaysia in less than a month...
Just a few days ago I sold my books and within the next few weeks, gotta prepare to sell my other equipments and I'm planning on going somewhere.... San Fransisco maybe. But there's one place I really want to go, House on the Rock in Wisconsin.

Why? After watching this vid... the place really interests me. Hope I can find someone to go with if not I'll be going alone.

1MDB

1MDB or the 1 Malaysia Developement Bhd was made by our PM Najib to provide additional 500 scholarships to students scoring 8As in SPM and above to study in local universities.

I didn't notice it at first until I saw their logo... it bears no similarities except the 1MDB part to the IMDB, Internet Movie Data Base.

Do you remember the first time you figured out ctrl+c (or ctrl+x) and ctrl+v?

Do you remember the first time you figured out ctrl+c (or ctrl+x) and ctrl+v?

I still remember back then when I was making websites and html codings... had to type everything from scratch rather than copy pasting the codes and changing them... Even javascripts and/or embedded links and images which I placed on my website had to be typed manually...

Classwork had to be typed over and over again. Well... the task assigned to us was to re-type back into MSword a story from a piece of paper given to us a few times.

I don't really remember when I learned copy and paste... but I'm pretty sure it was before the year 2000

In America I'm a Chink. In South-East Asia I'm a J00.

The article was from 2001 but I think it's hilarious that Chinese are compared to Jews

Some 80 years ago, Thailand's King Rama VI called the Chinese the "Jews of the East".

10 years after that article was written, it seems that not a lot has changed. Just that people are beginning to voice out more about the unfairness of the system as well as people rebutting the arguments of those against the system.

Tweeting is a big deal. Defamation to a company results in 100 apologies.

Some dude in Malaysia posted a defamation tweet about a company back in January... even though it was removed, he faces a court order to post 100 tweets apologizing.

MODERNIZATION!! Anything you say or do on the internet can be charged on you... Freedom of speech?

Punishment :
-Copy paste
-Spamming twitter
-Spamming followers
