A weekend that turned 180

A lot of people has asked me when will I start blogging again. Funny thing is.. I dont think anyone reads my blog. It is not meant for public reading, just for my own personal satisfaction of writing when I really feel the need to. Also I've only had 3 post and all of them doesn't make sense so the the thought of people asking for more makes me laugh even more. Keep note the last post was 2 years ago. This time, I do feel like writing something, and as people who know me. I only write when its really important to me.

Sometimes I feel like a thousand years old, I feel so old that any stranger I meet and observe for about 5 mins I could tell with my instinct can that person be trusted, will he/she one day a couple of years in the future betray my friends or me even though at 1st the person seems good and trustworthy. Most of the time I would reserve and keep my thoughts to myself for I could be wrong. Sadly almost all of my instincts about people are right and most are proven years later. So my friends have come to trust what I see in people.

Though this post is not really about crappy instinct voodoo. It is somewhat related.
You see, I have finally met sumone I wanted to meet. What has drawn me towards her, nobody can explain. Before she crossed my mind, there was no one that I would be this drawn towards. Call it what you will..but all my will and gut intinct told me so. This is very unusual of me because im scared shit of strangers.

All I knew before I met her is just that I had to. I had to. I had to meet her. I had to sit down with her, talk to her, have a walk with her, laugh wif her, reconfirm all I believe and hope for once that my special ability doesnt fail me this time. not this time.

And I did, the first time we met and she sat down across the table. Unintentionally our eyes met and we just gazed for what seems like an eternity. I hope no one noticed, that wouldn't be fun ;p
she couldn't to tease me and I was prepared and didn't give in to easily.

The last time I met her was unexpected, but boy am I glad she came over. When we met, we just hug each other. Hug Hug Hug.

I may not be really 1000 years old. But genie from Aladdin is and he's telling me "there's no other like her in a thousand years, I know, I've seen" and I say to genie "I know, I feel"

Drive FASTER !! It will save the Earth

To all you Humans wif 3Dimensional brains..it must be impossible for you to comprehend this statement.

Picture this....Ur commuting wherever it is u want to commute..Being a good citizen..u obey the speed limits, no left overtaking, no flashing at slow traffic. Well on this friday 21st I decided to hell with that...

I drive a kelisa A/T...The fuel gauge showed it was only at the 1st mark which is about 1/4 full..Normally it takes me 40-45 mins from UNITEN to Shah Alam..today i wanted to rush home cos im damn hungry and wanted some nasi lemak while thinking why am I wasting time in a car so i drove a bit faster..Which is about...150 km/h...I only pressed the pedal halfway..[Hint: Good car because of stupendously genius mechanic owner] In my everyday travel..if it was 1/4 of fuel left in the car..by the time i reach home it would be bone dry in the tank..but this time..to my plesant delight..There was still fuel left..and not just a bit..but half of the initial!

U schumdgm might be puzzled as to how this surfaced..
Old lady driving = Drive for 40-45 mins @ around 80-110km/h...meaning ur engine, A/C, radio etc etc is on for that time.
Possessed Devil Driving = Drive for 25 mins @ 120-160km/h means less time on the road less time wif ur car running wasteful energy on A/C Engine bla bla bla...

Conclusion...Even though driving faster consumes more fuel...the 15 mins difference more than makes up for it....by my calculation..for every 50 km journey.....if ur driving like a bat out of hell..ur saving around $5 of petrol....Drive fast..u help slow global warming and save EARTH!

Zidane: A living legend

Can you imagine that sensation a couple of seconds after the absolutely perfect, subtle, complex, Bordeaux wine hits your mouth; when it's so good and so moving it seems like it comes from heaven itself?

Do you know that feeling when you've just had the first tastes of the spotlight dish of a gourmet meal, and it's so excellent you almost don't want to eat any more for fear of spoiling its perfection; and you wonder how any mortal can assemble earthly ingredients to form such a culinary masterpiece?

Have you seen that movie that just somehow just resonates perfectly with you, like it's on your natural frequency; where the individual pieces of plot, pacing, writing, actors, and cinematography are put together in a way that you leave the theater not talking about the movie, but simply savoring it in your head because there aren't the right words to describe it, and any verbal dissection would only be a disservice?

All these sensations are like enjoying Zinedine Zidane at his most generous. Like he was today against Brazil.

Zidane is the greatest player I have ever seen. I don't know that he's the best player to ever step on a pitch, but he's the best I have ever been able to watch in any quantity since I've gotten experienced enough to really appreciate footballing artistry.

Today, he was the conductor of a French squad that, despite the narrow 1-0 score, humiliated Brazil. He delivered the game-winning assist to Thierry Henry. Before taking the free kick, he was directing his French targets to the right parts the penalty area from afar on the left wing, as if to tell Henry: "no, not there, not there; yes, right there--38.2 meters from me I will deliver a ball 0.3 meters off the ground, so be there"

He repeatedly escaped double teams, freeing himself with the fewest touches on the ball possible. Sometimes he found passing lanes his own players nor spectators even saw, and seemed to be mentally about 3 moves ahead of the rest of the players. While many great players seem to be faster, quicker, or more technically impressive; Zidane seems to be able to slow down the laws of time and space to make things happen the way he wants.

Zidane in some ways is like Keanu Reeves' character Neo at the end of The Matrix when he's figured out how to manipulate his new universe. Agent Smith tried to pump hundreds of bullets into Neo, which Neo avoided by suspending the laws of physics before impact. Zidane, similarly doesn't just dodge opponents or run through them--he actually seems to hyptotize opponents so he can simply walk through them effortlessly.

Of course there's the prolific goalscoring of Pele, and the wizardry of Maradona. I know the greatness of Best, Beckenbauer, Yashin, and many others. And these truly are great players, and all great players in any sport, and especially across generations, are difficult to rank and compare.

And obviously Zidane isn't the sole reason for the win tonight: Henry had to score the goal; Ribery was a man with real heart, working tirelessly for his 77 minutes; and the French defense was utterly superb. And the Brazilians played a somewhat thoughtless game with no bite or attack; and they inexplicably left Henry completely alone on his goal.

But I've never seen Zidane's type of magic in any other player; he doesn't always display this wizardry, but when he does it is truly something precious. We are lucky to be able to enjoy this legend now, and I'll be savoring his last two games as a professional footballer.

Uncertain

In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that one cannot assign, with full precision, values for certain pairs of observable variables, including the position and momentum, of a single elementary particle at the same time even in theory.

To put it in simple terms.. We will never know everything...Ever!! Its because even the brainiest nerd in MIT or smartest engineer in Houston can't figure out the Time or Space of any one atom. He can find out one of the values but not the both at the same time.

Which brings to the other topic of Fate & Destiny.
Fate is when something will happen no matter what happens
Destiny on the other hand is when reaction will only precede after a reaction.

Therefore.. I conclude everything we do is a combination of both.
From this knowledge..My proof for the faith in the Universe and in God is satisfied.

3. Emotions in moderations.
