Time Travel claimed to be impossible

Scienctists claims that time travel is impossible. This is only a small group say it is impossible just because they could not do it. The possibility is still there, locked up in Pandora's Box..... If someone could do it, like all science fiction movies, it would wreck the timeline affecting the present and future. The question, do anyone wants to do it?

Toy story can be real

Toy Story 3 can actually be real among our toys if they were really alive. When I was a kid I used to think some of my toys or objects I owned could be alive among their kind. Well, we never know do we? But the prospect of the toy ending up in any places to the trash could be real and still be happening. No matter how great and expensive or rare a toy be, it will be a goner once the owner had enough of it. If it got lucky, it be ended up at cheap garage sales or bazaar where a new owner turns up and buy it over, and the same cycle be repeated again. The sad truth will always be, nothing last forever. Some last longer. As newer generation of people comes, they will be more connected to the toys of their years rather than those old toys from the old days. So for a toy to last longer, they must have some cartoons or TV shows to give them life. Then again, toys with an oversize casts, such as Transformers, Star Wars, GI-Joes, how many of us ever managed to collect all of them? None I will say. They keep coming out new characters. Characters that doesn't even appear in the show gets a toy. The old have to make way for the new. That's life, for everything.

Korean Tour pt 3

Korea in the rural areas are very clean. There are no rubbish along the roads. It reminds me of China but in China the road sides are litered with trash and the drain or river the water are polluted. What these two places are similar is there is no street lights. Some major roads have lights but mostly there isn't any light. So if you happened to walk along there it would be creepy when night falls. And some stretch of the road there are tombs! It will be so dark at night you could hardly see your own hands in front. Some area have horses and they roam the place.

Korean tour pt 2

The meal time can be quite annoying. Not that we are late or the food is not good. It is that it isn't suitable to my taste. The Koreans like steamboat, BBQ and even raw seafood type. Amazingly they have it every meal. Along the way I even noticed that most of the shops are eatery of BBQ, steamboat seafood. So it seems they like their food like what we eat here, rice everyday. Luckily the breakfast is better. Cooked food or even western food. So it was a good meal until lunch or dinner.... Or maybe it was just me. :D

Korean tour pt 1

Went on a tour to South Korea. Arrived at Seoul and although it is no longer winter, the wind are chilly and the sun is bright but no heat. It is like sitting in a aircon room with the aircon full blast in under 10 degree. I kind of got impressed by the people there. It seems most of the young people are working. Such as I saw young  ladies doing traffic wardens, sales, and even cleaners. I won't see young people doing these jobs in singapore. There is a certain charm with them. It makes the city youthful.

No free lunch

Sometimes even being a consumer have to be cautious. I recently spent on something and was given a piece of paper that said I could collect a free pearl. I read through the whole paper to get a grasp that the place to collect is next to another counter on the same floor. Nothing was mention on the paper you have to pay. So until at the counter, a pearl was extracted but it wasn't pass to me. The lady at the counter then proceed to    ask which type pendant I want on the pearl. She blabber for a while before saying the pearl is free, the workmanship is free. I only need to pay for the pendant. What crap is this? I am only to collect the pearl. So the saying about no free lunch is true. Even if they never put on the paper, there is hidden cost. They should wait for some hard core consumer who demands for the free pearl and states that the paper did not mention any cost for it. Of course I walked away.

Lame broadcaster as king

Local TV just irked me again. While most the the shows I do not watch, there are exceptions. They do show Battlestar Galactica, but for some reasons after 4 episodes, they stopped and showed some local info shows. And now suddenly for some reasons, they started showing again... For one thing, not everyone read the TV sections on what will be coming on air suddenly. There was no trailers. Although I do not watch TV much, I do watch on some shows or surf the channels. They have full of lame advertisements and trailers of the same repeating "blockbuster". I am just irked that I missed my show. So as usual, the local broadcaster has became so bad in services since it is the sole broadcaster around, it gone on broadcaster as king.

Lift daze

Have you ever got struck by lift daze? What is lift daze? It is when inside a lift waiting for reaching your designated floor, you suddenly seems to lose your sense of direction, or so to say alertness. When the door opens, we would usually be moving towards the opened door, not aware if the level is the correct level or not. So even if the sound system in the lift would announce the floor number but it seems somehow blocked from our ears. Lucky for us we got alerted to the actual floor before the lift door closed. So other then being embarrassed it just seems to happen again over and over. So how is it that the lift could dazed you? I am still being stuck once in a while in the lift in my work place. So I make it an effort to concentrated and think of nothing until the lift opened with the correct floor. Maybe taking the lift isn't for the weak minded.....

Fare cheats fined. What about lousy service providers?

So officially anyone caught cheating their transport provider will be fined or jailed. So it is a universal fact that if you don't go with the rules you will pay for it. While everyone agrees about that fact, what about the fact that these providers are not doing their part to improve? All we get to hear or read when someone complains, about their silent treatment to feedbacks about bad services, will only recieve a generic reply that they will blah blah blah the same usual nonsense about looking into it or improve it but will take time. As usual some will provide facts and figures, that who would care about it when the real world faced by gruntle people don't match the facts. So when passengers get overcharged, they are penalised by taking time off to go to some far away ulu location to claim their money, only which they pay more to travel there. Bus drivers late or buses are always packed because they only have one to go around. Slow buses, trains as well drivers bullies students without any apologies. All these are always in the news and forum. And I can see that fare increment is coming in the near future........ again.

Facing a DJ

Unexpectedly, I got to meet with Suzanne Walker. Yes, she is the DJ. I was suppose to fix her password problem on the computer. She is the same chirpy person like you heard on radio. Somehow while they are good at spinning the turn tables or the CD racks, they kind of stuck with a computer. I believe it would be the same to everyone else. Not everyone is multi skilled. Give me a turn table I might make it turn if I am lucky. And no, I don't mean making the table turn. So I wonder if I would have luck to meet other DJs. :-)

Irritating advertistment

Do you ever get fustrated by some advertistment on TV? I do. Especially that Starhub ad that keeps on showing on TV everytime. So what is about the ad? It is irritating, the dog thing and the music. What has it got to do with mobile and TV? Whatever the reason, I don't use any starhub product or service and for now it is the worst ads I think so.
