One day with Internet

Googly, Swoogly, several times a day
Bubbly, lovely, I love everyday

Privacy, piracy, share with everyone
Tag me, tweets me, do them all at once

Uploading, downloading, we do everyday
Add me, invite me, you've made my day

Isabella

Lagu "Isabella" merupakan sebuah lagu balada yang di popularkan oleh kumpulan Search. Lagu ini memenangi Juara Lagu '89.

Tapi sejak bila lagu ni boleh jadi lagu dari Indonesia?. Waduh waduh, bapak.

Mungkin sebab filem "Isabella" mengisahkan cinta seorang gadis Indonesia dengan Amy Search. So lagu ni kira popular jugalah di seberang. Pasal tu mungkin ada orang yang ter-"confuse".

Chin Peng

I'm not sure where this idea originated, and I've been reading about the suggestion about Chin Peng returning to Malaysia.

Here's my answer:
NO to Chin Peng coming back to Malaysia.

He can be anywhere but Malaysia.

BTW, China is a communist country, so why bother coming back?

Special request

Special request to you
May we run this independent entity?
So that we could all save humanity
In the name of liberty we all enjoy currently

Special request to you
May we all get in the car?
The car that flies to the faraway star
We put on gasoline, hydrogen into the hybrid engine
So we all go in peace, to a faraway place so serene
That we can hardly catch the glimpse of worrisome faces
That decorate our television screens
We feel so good we won't come back
The chaos city will never welcome back

Special request to you
May you keep this earth free from war?
You and me are all in unity
United as one, we should all be glad
Set our differences aside, do not be sad
Keep your differences in the academic sphere
Because the academic care about logic, prestige, and the whiner
To determine who is the ultimate winner.

Special request to you
Do not cling to the forefathers ideas
Without having to rethink our own agendas
Forget about splitting the world into pieces
So that we all live in peace

Angels and Demons

Angels and Demons is nothing but a typical Hollywood plot with a little twist at the end. Nothing spectacular about the plot, but of course the movie have upper advantage with Tom Hanks as the hero and Ron Howard as a director.

Ron Howard is the "fire" special effect specialist. You can see throughout the movie that the usage of gory fire burns are amazing. There are a couple of instances where we can see that (you watched the movie already, you should know). I think he likes to use the fire burns from bottom, going up. It's amazing special effect.

Tom Hanks as usual is a great actor, playing an innocent professor who doesn't believe in God (or in the process of believing). I have no comment on his acting. But I think there are a lot of empty slots for him to get more for the movie. There are some silly heroic efforts like scene in the library where he tried to break the glass. I think this can be done better (of course, this is based on Dan Brown's book, but I thought the scene can be much more dramatized).

For Ewan McGregor, you be the judge. I think he played nicely as an innocent, ambitious young man. Also, the hot Italian scientist is a nice addition.

All in all, typical plots with nice effects and strong characters.

Einstein's Ideas and Opinions

After close a half-year reading, I've finally finished reading a book pack with Albert Einstein's idea (Ideas and Opinion - Albert Einstein).

I'm not a trained Physicists and Mathematicians, but I have a deep interest in understanding how nature works. Einstein repeatedly mention of the importance of "logical simplicity" and threw skepticism on our perception of "truth" in our daily lives.

You'll come across his famous formula:

E = mc²

and you'll wonder how simple this formula, yet how powerful it is.

I found that this is a nice demonstration of what he meant by "logical simplicity". Of course, after a series of mathematical derivations, physics theories, etc.

I want to talk more about it, but I can't blog about it. I need physicists to explain to me the concept of Lorentz transformation and inertial equivalence and of course, the gravity!

One

So I overheard someone says it:

"I want the colorful rainbow but oh I can't get it
Rainbow was colorful but I hate it
It runs away from me but I want it

So I made my own rainbow from my own mirror
I run through a white light and there spreads many colors
Spreading outward, towards the window
It was so close I try to grasp
The effort is futile, they are just one light"

Many creatures , many forms
Spreading across land and ocean
Many people, many customs
We are all but one
