Happy thoughts

My numerical methods lecturer incorporates psychology in his class. It's something different. And actually does makes the class a little bit more interesting. He would ask us to close our eyes then to think of a happy moment in our lives . He would then review what he taught earlier. According to him, by associating a happy thought it'll be easier to remember what was thought in class. But so far i don't how true this method is because every time he asks up to think about a happy thought nothing significant pops up so as he is talking and reviewing, i'm trying to think of something that made me really happy. Usually my happy thoughts would either revolve around kate beckinsale or jessica alba sometimes both at the same time but i dont think this what my lecturer was refering to though. My life is not as sad as it sounds, it's just that there's not one truely memorable happy moment in my life that stands out..... Until yesterday. I guess someone up there just felt sorry for me. The happiest 0.02 seconds of my life. I was standing in c.o.e foodcourt minding my own business when bracie bumped into me. Then we had this deep meaningful conversation...... she said oops and i said sorry. It was deep, nearly brought tears to my eyes. And that my friends is the happiest 0.02 seconds of my life. now i see if the pyscological mumbo jumbo actually works cause i finally have my happy thought..

Think what your driving is safe?

Ever imagine what is the real meaning or specifications behind any vehicles sold in the market labeled with 5 stars safety rating?

This is the American rating for car crash safety rating:

Front crash:-

5 stars - 10 percent or less chance of serious injury

4 stars - 11 percent to 20 percent chance of serious injury

3 stars - 21 percent to 35 percent chance of serious injury

2 stars - 36 percent to 45 percent chance of serious injury

1 star - 46 percent or greater chance of serious injury

Side Impact:-

5 stars - 5 percent or less chance of serious injury

4 stars - 6 percent to 10 percent chance of serious injury

3 stars - 11 percent to 20 percent chance of serious injury

2 stars - 21 percent to 25 percent chance of serious injury

1 star - 26 percent or greater chance of serious injury

And after finding out their testing criterias, which is based on the following specifications, you might want to rethink the rating system, if it is truly reliable in saving one's life during accidents?

1. The tests are conducted at speeds of 35 to 38.5 mph. Wait a minute.....35-38.5 mph? Who drives 35-38.5 mph. when the rest of the world is traveling at 45-75 mph? The government safety ratings do not cover anything over 38.5 mph. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety raises the bar though...they test at 40mph; a full 1 1?2 mile per hour faster...zoom, zoom.

2. Crash dummies only simulate full size adults, not teens, not children, not infants. Aren’t teenagers, children and infants passengers too? Why don’t they include it in the ‘rating’ system? The crash dummies are wearing seat belts in all cases, front and rear seats...(everyone in vehicles always wears their seat belts, don’t they?).

3. The crash dummies are wired to measure injuries to head, neck, chest, pelvis, legs and feet, but all these findings are not included in the rating. The ratings only measure head and chest injuries for frontal crashes and head injuries only for side crashes (evidently, other injuries are not serious enough to count in a government study).

4. Impact assumptions are for similar vehicles, differing no more than 250 lbs. This means if you are driving a small, full size or luxury car and you hit an SUV or a minivan...the rating doesn’t count (and it certainly doesn’t count if you happen to hit a tractor trailer...those crashes might change the star ratings).

5. Finally, the rating is only referring to injuries that require immediate hospitalization or are life-threatening.

If the above criterias applys, you would hence refer as:

1) If you happen to be in a crash faster than 38.5 mph, forget about the rating scales altogether! see ur screwed whether your speeding or not, 38.5mph works up to only 62 km/h.

2) If you are a teen, child or infant sitting anywhere in the car, forget about the rating scale altogether!

3) If you hit any vehicle that is larger, smaller, or not almost exactly what you are driving, forget about the rating scale altogether!

4) If you are not wearing your seat belt, forget about the rating scale altogether!

5) If someone at the accident scene says “you look fine”, forget about the rating scale altogether!

6) If you happen to be driving a “5 Star Rated” vehicle at 32 mph, hit a car head-on exactly like yours and are wearing your seat belt, according to the ratings you still have a 1 in 10 chance of being killed!

7) Lastly, if you are driving a “1 Star Rated” vehicle (I don’t know of any) and are in the same accident, you still have a 50-50 chance of surviving. I think i'm driving one though.

So, what is the conclusion?

ur screwed wheather ur speeding or not.. so it's only logical to drive faster right?. And it really doesnt matter wheather ur driving a kancil or a beemer your chances of surving a crash anything above 38.5mph is pretty much the same. the only difference is that you'll at least u die looking better than the dude in the kancil. and you die in style too. haha..

DRIVE SAFETLY!!!!

The Road Taken

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost(1874-1963)

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


i'm transvering the road less taken. At first i had my reservations about this road, but the part that does most of thinking for guys want what the part does most of the thinking for guys want right? Besides the beautiful scenery that this road had to offer prove to be to alluring for me to resist. Or was it pure boredom that drove me to choose this road or was it out pure curiosity, i wanted to try something out of the ordinary, or was it the feeling i got just by looking at the road the made me want to travel down it or was it cause i belived the road would lead me to the happiness i've been looking for. What ever the reason was i took my chances and fresh supplies of underwear and went down the road... the road less taken. At first it was really exciting cause with every twist and turn the road had something to offer. But after awhile like most things in life the novelty wears off and the beautiful scenery the road onced offered now looks all the same to me. Soon i got bored or was it the other way around, the road just got bored of me cause it doesn't seem to offer what had attracted me to walk down the road in the first place. But everytime i wanted to turn around, the road would offer me a little just so i would keep walking down the road. So i kept on walking, but the once beautiful summer days was giving way to the cold winter nights. Occasionaly i would see glimpses of the sun and it would make me reminisce on those summer days. The road that lies before me now is covered in snow, and i can't see a thing. I don't know where i'm headed anymore and what's in front of me. But it really doesn't matter. Cause the harsh weather is begining to get to me. I'm sick and tired of this cold weather. I'm picking my cold ass up and getting off the road. I'll never walk down this road again. I'll make sure the next road i take will lead me to a place where the sun shines 365 days a year, someplace like Malaysia, it's expected that there rain but it's better than snow. Snow it's alot colder. And yeah, don't get me started about frost bites. They can be a bitch. A real bitch.

Well Mr. Forst, i took the road less taken and it didnt seem to work out for me. one of life's lessons i guess.. glad it worked out for u..excellent poem it insipre to try out alot of new shit. so thank u.

Josh maybe u could show me the way, your such a good navigator. This guy here, is your man if u ever feel like having a tour of Putrajaya.

Shit what the hell am i doing, i'm seriously lost la.. Think i need a n95, so i can used the gps to get back on the correct road la.

Guys if u still don't know what i'm talking about here's goes.. i want a n95 for my birthday.. I know i know i have to work for it which i did, enjoyed my story? There's my work, wasn't easy, my story full of literature and shit like that so enjoy.. I know i would be enjoying my present. U guys are the best!

I couldnt sleep either...

You Date Like a Woman

According to studies on dating, you date like a woman. You tend to take romance seriously, and you're not really out for a fling. A mental and emotional connection always comes first for you. And rushing the physical stuff is likely to turn you off. "which guy in his right mind will be turned off by physical stuff? " =P You're highly selective when it comes to dating, and some may say you're too picky. You know what you want, and when you find it, you're ready to commit.
