Picture Perfect

Its a cruel world after all....

I presume everyone heard about the Cho Seung Hui's killing rampage in the States....  Bitter isn't it? Killing 30 over students.....

It has caused an outcry in Virginia Tech. He has certainly gained recognition worldwide overnight.

What puzzles me the most is what was going through that boy's mind when he pulled the trigger? Was he really such a loner & depressed to the extend of killing 30+ people or could there be other reasons behind the boy's cruel intentions and doings?

He must have planned the shooting  since he videotaped himself talking about life & misery & sent it to NBC news.

Sadly we will have no answers because all we get are explaination from people who barely knew him & assumptions.

My heart still goes out to the students & teacher who were victimized that day regardless whether they had unintentionally hurt Cho emotional well being or not.  No one deserves to die just because of an emotional outburst...

May God have mercy on Cho as well, for being emotional unstable, tortured & depressed. He probably has his own reasons that we can't know now......

Read how the story unfolds on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18164428/. As you read along, chills will run through your spine. It all seems like describing a scene out of a movie...

One word to describe this massacre....awful

Jokes Of the Day

BOB WUD NEVER CHEAT

Bob works hard and spends most evenings bowling or playing basketball at the gym. His wife thinks he is pushing himself too hard, so for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club.

The doorman at the club greets them and says, "Hey, Bob! How ya doin?" His wife is puzzled and asks if he's been to this club before. "Oh no," says Bob. "He's on my bowling team."

When they are seated, a waitress asks Bob if he'd like his usual and brings over a Budweiser. His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says, "How did she know that you drink Budweiser?" "She's in the Ladies' Bowling League,honey. We share lanes with them."

A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Bob and starts to rub herself all over him and says,"Hi Bobbie. Want your usual table dance, big boy?" Bob's wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club.

Bob follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside her. Bob tries
desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else, but his wife is having none of it.

She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him every four letter word in the book. The cabby turns around and says, "Geez Bob, you picked up a real bitch this time."

COMPUTER PROBLEMS

This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause."

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller:

Customer Support: "Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"

Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

CS: "What sort of trouble?"

C: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

CS: "Went away?"

C: "They disappeared."

CS: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

C: "Nothing."

CS: "Nothing?"

C: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

CS: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

C: "How do I tell?"

CS: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"

C: "What's a sea-prompt?"

CS: "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"

C: "There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

CS: "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

C: "What's a monitor?"

CS: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.  Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"

C: "I don't know."

CS: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"

C: "Yes, I think so."

CS: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."

C: ".......Yes, it is."

CS: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

C: "No."

CS: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."

C: ".......Okay, here it is."

CS: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

"I can't reach."

CS: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

C: "No."

CS: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

C: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."

CS: "Dark?"

C: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in  from the window."

CS: "Well, turn on the office light then."

C: "I can't."

CS: "No? Why not?"

C: "Because there's a power outage."

CS: "A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"

C: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

CS: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

C: "Really? Is it that bad?"

CS: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."

C: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

CS: "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

Don't Sit On This Book

Suddenly I have this urge to read books. You know like cravings for certain kind of food.  Yeah this is cravings for certain kind of book title.  I actually bought three books last weekend. .. I have not read any book in whatsoever form for the past one year or so. Unless you include magazines as reading? 

And there I was choosing three book title which so happens fall in the same book category which is superstition, myths & legends.

First book I read is Don't sit on this book. Yeah, I know the title seems a bit corny. But its really a good book if you've been a chinese for like 20 years or so because you will find taboos inside that seem pretty familiar. For instance,  don't sweep the floor on the first day of chinese new year or else you will sweep away your bad luck or the weirdest one which I have not heard before is not to plant a papaya tree if your surname is Lee, why? because Lee in mandarin means papaya & it would mean planting yourself to death.

"Don't Sit On This Book" is written by a so called renowned feng shui master Philip Cheong. The book is pretty easy on the eyes considering it has a nice amount of comic included & has a simple statement, reason to it & hilarious conclusion to each taboo.

I dunno, I'm not very supertitious person but I like this sort of titles. Makes me feel very chinese. Wahahaha.

Not a bad read, if you're looking for entertainment & chinese knowledge, otherwise you can just sit on the book instead

How many of you don't know Russell Lee please do not raise you hand...hehehe. I'm so into his book. I've been reading his book since sec school,  although at times I feel cheated by him, cos he's making money by just publishing reader's stories. But don't you just love horror stories, especially if they are from singapore?  Seems like,  a small place like singapore has tons of ghost roaming around

For those who don't know who Russell Lee. He's a singaporean author who compiles and research horror stories & clad in black. You wouldn't miss this guy. He doesn't have a face & he's dressed all black.

I just finished book 13 and starting on book 14. It can be eerie if you read it at night all alone.  For a price of RM16.00, it is worth a read for pure pleasure & scare. Hehee.
