My mom hospitalized.

So, like my mom was hospitalized today. She's still in the hospital today, resting. I think she need it. She's having respiratory problem and the doctor decided that she should stay for the night at least to be observed.

Her blood taken and given some kind of oxygen mask a couple of time. When, I left her she's looking a little better and I think maybe tomorrow she'll be able to return home. Well, that's good. I'm not sure what's her problem is. She hadn't this problem before. Maybe, she's getting old. Maybe, I'm getting old too as I actually had some chest pain (lungs) too. It hurts a little to breathe but right now, it seems to be gone. I've had this chest pain a couple of time but I didn't go to see a doctor. I haven't seen a doctor for like ages. All this while, I didn't really had some bad sickness that I should go to see a doctor about. Come to think of it, that's really good. I've had friends who had cancer, tumor or whatever crap there is out there. I try to take care of myself. I try not to drink sweet drinks or any alcohol which is like, never.

I also don't smoke or go out and party hard or whatever. I drink warm plain water most of the time at work. Only at home, I drink some syrups. That's about it. As, I'm Asian, I eat rice a lot but it seems that isn't good for your health if you take too much. So, since, there's some kind of rice shortage and food prices soaring, maybe it's time to eat less and eat healthy. I guess, you could use these kind of tough times to really evaluate things in your life. Maybe, we're having it good for so long that all of us took it for granted. In time of crisis you could take it hard and give up or you could turn it around and change it to your advantage.

I think people nowadays, especially the young who grew in the MTV age really needs to learn that there's more to life then your father buying you a mercedez at your18th birthday. Teenagers nowadays are really having it good. Maybe, too good for their own bloody self. Some of them are more interested in themselves then about others. They only care what's in it for them and doesn't care less about what others their own age is going through. These kids need to be taught a lesson. They need this kind of crisis, food shortage, water shortage, money shortage to really learn what life is all about. How, others are suffering. What's it like to suffer. What it's like when you don't know how you're going to survive when food is scarce. How people have to work hard to put food on the table. They need the lesson.

The economy right now is really getting a beating. I don't pretend that I know what's going on in the world right now but, I'm just feeling that something bad is going to happen soon unless the U.S. bucks up. Maybe, they need economic, political restructuring. They are like falling apart all over the place. Maybe, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is beginning to take it's toll on the U.S.

Nothing is change in the middle east especially with the Israelis and the Palestinians. As, long as the problem is not resolved, it's going to be like a thorn that just won't go away!

It's going to be pretty interesting to see what's the future going to be like this couple of years. You don't have too look far to see that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan need to be resolved as soon as possible. As, long as the U.S. is in both of that war it will soon get worse and unless maybe they pull-out sooner rather then later then things really going to get worse and worse. Let just see if after Bush goes things will finally change for the better. Who knows.

Only, God knows.


Peace.. everyone is taking it for granted!

Rhapsody of dreamz..

Yesterday, after picking up my nephews on the way home from work. I decided to wait for my mom to get home from work at a playground nearby. Of course, my nephews agreed. Children, what else do they want but to run around, jumping and shouting as if it's the last thing they'll do?

Anyway, I remembered that I brought along my Asus Eee pc so I thought I'll try to check out if I can surf to the internet catching any free wifi around.

To my surprise, I find that there is some free wifi connection that I can use. I'm not sure where it's from but hey, if I can surf, why not?

The signal is quite strong and I manage to go to Yahoo.com and Zedge.net (just to check out if I can access the site).


Even my nephew manage to go to Hotmail windows Live and check her email. Pretty nifty. I just wonder why I can't use the wifi access from my home as it's only a couple of blocks away. Hmm.. think think. I know, I can set-up my own wireless network but I'm not sure about this wireless network stuff. I've been using cable internet all this while and I've heard from friends that they keep logged out from the internet when they surf using home wireless network.

I'm thinking of getting that 3G wireless data package. But, I want to do my research first. I want to know what it's all about before taking the plunge. If I can use 3G data network to surf anywhere with my Eee pc then I'll subscribe. For now though, I'm a little blurry about it. Anyone, out there using the 3G data wireless service? Care to comment or advice? Leave a post will ya?


Well, my nephews seems to be excited about being able to surf outdoors. Of course, they only wish to know if they can play some online games!

One of the site they visit is y8.com. It's an online flash games site. It took some time to load and we didn't manage to play any games because, the Eee pc battery was already left to 10%. Too bad, I wanted to see too if we can play flash games online using the wifi free service.

Singapore government said they'll build wifi all around the country but I'm still waiting. Right now, you can surf on some buses provided with free wifi but I haven't tried that yet. Wish, the bus I took everyday have wifi. It'll definitely be great to surf to and fro from work!

It'll be fun to be able to check your email or even play some games online on the bus!

What's more with Singapore damn traffics every morning!

Nowadays, it almost took me 1 1/2 hours just to reach my work place every morning. When it should be 45mins!

The other day, I thought the police were doing some road block because of the Mas Selamat case (a JI terrorist escape from jail) but in the end it's because of a car trouble. I don't know what's the problem was as there were two police man and a couple of people talking to each other. Heck, just one car problem and I'm late for work for almost an hour?

I think everyone should take a bus to work!

But, I think mostly it jammed every morning because of parents sending their children to school in cars instead of letting their children take the bus. Because, it seems every school holidays the road trip seems smoother?

Damn those rich kids. I hate it when I see them with their Nokia N95 or whatever. Kids, shouldn't be allowed to carry that expensive kind of phone to school!

I remembered the day when I first got my very own hand phone. I had to work for months before I can save some money to get it. Of course, that was the time when everything was black and white. No games, colors, mp3s or whatever. But, it cost me around $500 bucks!

Mobile phone nowadays have sleuth of cool features that you won't have a second thought. Kids, nowadays are having it good. Okay, I can't say much about kids in the third world country but if they knew the kind of things the kids at this part of the world are getting they'll be like, "Oh, my God!" it's a miracle!

Yeah, it's a miracle alright.

Well, anyway. Talking about miracle, I found this interesting blog from doing some searching via google. You might want to take a look. I don't know, maybe because the way he wrote it makes me read his blog. It's not anything fancy. In fact, it doesn't have any design at all. Just some posting and YouTube videos.

You should check it out. It's at your own peril though.

Indonesian mosques to get superfast broadband

So like, i was browsing through engadget.com and the title post above interest me. So, i read part of it and decide to read the comments. Lo and behold! The comments made by some of these people really makes me had a hearty laugh.

It started normal enough with people feeling envy about the cheap broadband you'll get through the mosques but ended up people arguing about races, religions and terrorist etc.

I guess, with all that's going on right now in the world today. You can't really run away from the hot topics that are on the news almost everyday!

And, the last i check. They already had 123 post!

So, why not visit the site and read up the post. Warning though, it ain't pretty and children needs parental guidance, the least!

Good day or night, or afternoon or whatever!

I'm getting married!

Yup, ...nope. Just kidding! Me not getting married. It's April Fools day today, you dum dum!

No funny?

Sour grapeeeesss!

So, you cute ladies out there. Don't worry, I'm still single n available!

Come get some!

Woohoooo... maybe, it's almost midnight and end of April 1st. So, I'll better go or I'll be posting more rubbish here today.

Have fun!

Stop stepping on the lion's tail you idiot!

You must be wondering, what's with the headline post right?

Well, today. My friend, forgive me but I'm going to talk about my faith - Islam.

You see, what prompt me to post about it today? Well, yesterday, I read about a Dutch guy who's going to promote his film about Islam. Now, I haven't yet seen his film and I can't say or very much more do anything about it. But, judging from the reactions, which is mostly online, I think, yet again, it'll spark mass rally and sometime into violent protest.

For me, I don't really understand why people like the Danish and Dutch guys INSIST on stepping on the lion's tail. If you keep stepping on the lion's tail, what you'll think happen? Obviously, the bloody lion is going to snap at you right? If you're lucky, it won't eat you up!

So, what give!?

If you don't know anything about Islam and keep pushing your stupid damn views then just bloody keep it to yourself. You don't have to rile people up with your stupid film, views, reviews or whatever crap you want to call it. It doesn't really matter. All you gonna do is putting more burning oil into the fire. When the FIRE rages out of control then don't blame us. Blame all this stupid people who insist and persist to throw out all common sense out the window.

There are practically billions of Muslims around the world and not all have extreme views or hate the non-believers. Personally, I don't care what religion you are in. It doesn't concern me. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that.

I live in Singapore and over here we have multi-racial, multi-religions but we don't go around going after people and bomb them or hurl racial slurs or whatever. And, I've been living here since I was born 35 years ago. Yes, once we had racial riots but that was in the past when the country was young and we were all narrow minded. But, we learn from our mistakes and now we live peacefully with each other. In fact, sometime we celebrated together during religious festivities. When, I look at the other racial Indians, Chinese, Caucasians and others etc. I look at them as a person and not look what religion they are in. And, I believe they do the same to me. If not, I won't have any Indians or Chinese friends. We go to school and also work together without racial or religion prejudice.

In Islam we are taught that "for you is your religion and for me is my religion". It really means that we have no interest to talk about your religion and we hope you do the same for us. But, like I said. Some, still persist to want and impost their narrow views on Islam. I can only say that the only person who's going to get hurt is themselves. Please, for your own sake stop wasting your own time. Islam will not go away, the matter of fact is that it's expanding. Just like the universe is now. Some scientist stated that the Universe will in the end one day might collapse but believe me when I say this, Islam and GOD never will. Ha! What do you know!?

So if you can't say anything good about Islam then just shut-up.

I read in a recent newspapers that stated most expatriates think Singapore is like a fairy-tale. Because, we are so diverse and we live peacefully together. We have good governments and the place are clean and green. Although, some idiots might beg to defer. But, really. What more do you want? Just freaking look around you, which other country can offers relative safety and calm?

Okay, Singapore aren't perfect. But, nothing is perfect in this world. But, it's still better.

I think most people only read or see news about Islam from the television. Which is most of the time of course only show the violent demonstration and bombing etc. But, these people are only using Islam as propaganda. They are not fighting for Islam but fighting for land, politics or whatever. Of course, even Muslim would beg to differ my views on that. But, I can only talk about what I see and heard. I can't say that I really understand what's the children of Palestine are thinking or going through right now or the African Muslims.

One thing for sure, you need to talk to and listen to a real Muslim before you pass any judgment. That would only be fair. And, maybe we'll also understand you too for that matter.

That's all I've got to say.. for now. So, do please before you say or do anything. Think. That's all I ask. If you don't have any brain to think then at least use your kidney to think. Or maybe, you don't even have that too.

Good day and peace!

Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 vs Army of Two

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 vs Army of Two

Well, well, well. Yesterday, after deliberating with my nephews on which games to buy. I finally, made an 'executives' decision and bought Rainbow 6 vegas 2 & Army of Two. And, both of the games didn't disappoint me. Although, my nephews right now prefers playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6. I think maybe, because it's a little easier and familiar. They have played Rainbow 6 Vegas before so, nothing new there. For me personally, I like both of them. The tactical teamwork aspect of the game is really good. I want my nephews to learn some tactical know-how and also at the same time to learn to work together as a team. When they grow up later on in life, I think they'll remember back to the time where I keep shouting at them like a mad drill Sargent. They'll know it's all for their own good. Haha!

Anyway, enjoy the little video I took of them playing the game. It's a little blurry and dark so you won't know much what's happening. In any case, if you haven't bought the game you'll know what it's going to be like. Enjoy!

By the way. If you want to know more about Rainbow 6 and Army of Two, then visit Gamespot.com. It's a cool gamers haven site full of info, videos and reviews etc.

Good Friday? You betcha!

Guess what? I finished Half-Life 2: Episode 1 today! Yippee!

It took me around a couple of days to finish it. It's kind of short. Okay, I'm not as fast as some hardcore gamers out there but at least I manage to finish it albeit after dying 100 times!

Now, I already started Half-Life 2: Episode 2. The final Half-Life episodes on the Orange DVD for the Xbox 360. I wonder if any new Half-Life episodes is on the cards. I haven't finish playing episode 2 so, I'm not sure what's the ending like. They say, there are still a lot of un-answered questions left. I guess, we'll all have to wait and see.

I still haven't bought any new games coming out this March. I'm waiting a little later till after April to check out my Xbox 360 store. Wondering, if Army of Two are already being sold. That's one game, I'm going to check out. It's a two player tactical game, so perfect for my two nephews to play co-op together. Right now, they're still playing Halo 3 even though they have finish it last month. Thats the only game they can play together as a team. Need to find more game that have co-ops!

I'm also hoping to get my hands on Condemned 2: Bloodshot (watching the review, I'm not sure if it's going to be ban in Singapore) , Dark Sector, Dead space, Gears of War 2, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Frontlines: Fuel of war, Devil May Cry 4 and more FPS!

There's one game I hope they have plans for the Xbox is Crysis!

Right now, it's only available for the pc. It got good reviews and I really hope it's coming to Xbox soon!

Anyway, I wish a Happy Good Friday to those of you out there that's celebrating it. I had fun, playing Half-Life the whole day. Haha!

So, good day and have a great weekends!

P.S. Any Xbox gamers out there who can recommend me more FPS like Half-Life? Appreciate it!
