Copy and paste.

This is what i got from Howstuffworks.com.

About a guy who did not sleep for 11 days. Read it.

Have you ever pulled an all-nighter to study for a test or get a project done for work? How about doing it 11 days in a row? A man in Cornwall, England, actually went 11 consecutive days without a wink of sleep.

On May 24, 2007, Tony Wright, a 42-year-old horticulturalist, claimed to have beaten the record of 264 hours (exactly 11 days) set in 1964 by 17-year-old American Randy Gardner. Wright had some practice: he had already been through more than 100 sleep deprivation experiments, with the longest one lasting eight days. He also employed a unique diet that comprised only raw foods. Wright claims that his regimen of salad, avocados, bananas, pineapple, nuts, seeds, carrot juice and herbal tea helped his brain to stay awake. He also says that it allowed him to "switch" from one side of his brain to the other when one got tired. (Whales and dolphins are known to employ similar brain-switching techniques, which allow one part of their brain to rest while the other focuses on breathing and other basic functions.)

In order to chronicle his attempt, Wright confined himself to a live music venue called Studio Bar in Penzance, Cornwall, and allowed a Webcam to monitor him the entire time. He also kept a blog for the BBC, though he stopped blogging on the tenth day because he found it too difficult to concentrate enough to write coherently. The public visited Wright at the Studio Bar or kept track of him through his Webcam.

Though it's believed that Wright broke Randy Gardner's sleep deprivation record, the Guinness Book of World Records no longer acknowledges sleep deprivation attempts because they feel that they're too dangerous. Some have also claimed that Gardner's record was already broken by Toimi Soni of Finland, who went 276 hours without sleep, and that the record was in the Guinness Book until they removed the category entirely in1989 [Source: The Times].

The health concerns for prolonged sleeplessness are potentially severe. After five days, Wright wrote in his blog that he saw "giggling dancing pixies and elves" in place of the text on his computer screen [Source: BBC]. He had difficulty understanding the speech of others and developed blisters on his feet, although those were due to long sessions of playing pool with various friends and visitors. However, after 11 days, Wright told reporters, "I do not feel tired yet. There is a bit of adrenaline pumping around" [Source: The Scotsman].

Gawddamn. His face must be like this

LOOK AT THAT!!!

uhh.

My current mood ; Lazy.

I just got back from the damn lab. Before that, I had the Engineering Drawing class. The lecturer is a wise man ( I really think he is ) although he talks a lot ( A hell lot). Yeah so i was having the class from 2-4 and around 3 oc he gathered all of us and said this ;
' Its time for General Knowledge!! '

And I practically said ' Uhhh ' quite loud ( and caught some attentions ) cause i thought he was going to blab about Sh*ts.

But oh well as usual, I was wrong.

First thing, when all of us were in front of his eyes, he asked, ' Does time exist? '

Woww, what do you think?

And my classmate answered, ' Nope. It does not '. And yeah it is true because time really does not exist. Why? Because we human created it. ( Dont know when) You see, god never mentioned something like ;- when the sun is right about your head, its 12 o'clock. No. Never.

the say we clocks are common need in life.



And of course he did a very interesting speech about this topic( I told you i was wrong ) saying that we take things for granted without knowing anything. So after he bla bla bla for quite some time, I actually believed that we DO take things for granted. Let me share something with you guys. Lets take 2 different countries now. Ummm, I say Malaysia and United Kingdom. Ok.


I assume you guys know what longitude and latitude are so picture this. Both Malaysia and U.K are not on the same longitude. And thats the reason we have different time zones. Countries that are located on same longitude have same time zone. Assume time now in Malaysia is 12 p.m and U.K is 4 am. So start doing this, take two fingers, hit Malaysia and U.K ( on earth globe ). Move further north ( follow the longitude) Further and further north until you reach a same bloody point. And sh*t you not, you'll end up at North Pole. So you tell me now, does North Pole shares same time as U.K and Malaysia? How is that even possible? Ha-Ha and i guess North Pole is the only place guys can say this to their girlfriend. ' Anytime baby.. Anytimeee ;) '

So conclusion, North Pole has no time.
yeah. hahahaha

So what is this thing all about? Its mixed up now and we do not have any problems? Well i guess there are 6 billion peeps in this world and most of them live near the center of the earth. So there; no problems we need to have different time zones.

Okay now, lets talk about the international date line. What is it actually?
The International Date line or IDL

It is a north-south line that runs through the Pacific Ocean. It generally follows the 180° line of longitude. Interesting ain't it?

If you want to cross the line, there is a major thing you have to consider. Days will not be same after you crossed the line.
Crossing the line traveling east results in a day or 24 hours being subtracted, and crossing west results in a day being added. Get it?

So how funny it is if i eat my breakfast when im on the left side of the line and then i shift to the right side and eat my dinner?
ha!
And isnt it weird if a guy sails his ship like this?

Think about it. Maybe we do take things for granted. heh

Im just simply bored.

There is a saying ;

If the shoe does not fit, should we change the foot?
Personally i think that line is very meaningful. In life, we experience new things, we meet new people and we also come across different things in our daily life. Whats important is that how we suit ourselves in the community. Some people arent that friendly to others but some are really friendly. The main idea that i get from the saying above is that we, should not try so hard to fit in. Dont get me wrong here. I dont mean to say that we should not be friends with others but it is just more like we should be true when we meet new people, new friends or even new society. Think about it, most of us spend maybe a quarter of our 'time' living with parents. When we're done with high school, we go to college. (Again, i mean most of us. Some people are not lucky like most of us and we should be thankful to be lucky.) And on top of that, people say that college days are the best days in ones life. We meet new people and even some meet their partners in college. Come back to the point, I really think that the first thing we should really have is our own true base. Meaning that no matter where we are, what community we're in, we know what we're capable of and we dont get spoiled easily.

Maybe i should reconsider about that 'spoiled' part and replace it with influenced.
Well at least this what i think. Im not pointing fingers and blame people here. I dont want to do that.
Plus, if you think some changes are good for you, then why dont you change, right? And Im not saying that everyone is useless or 'just wanna party type' in college. No thats not true. We should know the good and bad in everything and decide what to do with it.

p/s : I hate being all wise and shit but im just bored and decided to write on this.



after all, we should be happy and choose our own shoes right? ;)

Wozzie Dozzie.


Halooo


He is my idol and also my mentor. He is Steve Wozniak or better known iWoz. He's the co-founder of the Multi Billionaire Company, Apple. Ooooo yeah. He's the man. Together with Steve Jobs, he did a marvelous job and created the computer. Despite the problems he had to face, he still managed to develop Apple II ( A good modern computer that time ;p ) I read the book iWoz which is the actual story of his life and since then i was fascinated about him. (People say a lot wrong things about him. But he himself was involved with this book. So yeah)


This is Apple II btw ;)


Being grown up in a simple family, Wozniak's father was the one who introduced him to electronics. He was a brilliant kid. Excelled well in school. His fav subjects are Mathematics and Science. ( He said Math is pure logic. hah) Later in life, Steve Wozniak met Steve Job ( So we have 2 Stevoss now!! =p ) and grew up together. What really catches my attention is that his way of life. He's a Billionaire but he leads a very simple life. Hes the founder of Apple but hes working as an engineer there. Come on.. A rich dude but doesnt want to sit down and be like other rich dudes?? Oh yeah, he started the phone hacking too with this crappy old dude. Wozniak was not into drugs or alcohol when he was in college. Instead, he labels himself in his book as a nerd. A computer geek. Heh? See, a geek that turns into a booolaabooo man now!

If i'm not mistaken, he said something like this ;

'For young people that has the idea but no money, i suggest you stick to the idea. You never know when is the hit point of your life where you can use your idea to develop something big. Keep in mind that idea is always the first thing that comes in your head. Believe in yourself because no one is better than you'

So to my hero Wozniak, thank you for everything you have done. (:

a) Engineering Mathematics 3
b) Engineering Drawing
c) Electrical Calculations
d) Circuit Theory 2

Well, to be frank. I miss studying in college. The privacy i get.
Alone in the room and the world is just mine. Despite that, I do really miss home. I miss my Parents, siblings, Yasmin, friends, everything. I miss home. But this is what i have to do now. I need to concentrate and score.


Okay, I bought this diary.

Okay, heres the thing. I was totally bored and decided to check on some stuffs on the net. What really caught myself was this new movie which is going to be released next January, CLOVERFIELD.

Cloverfield is an american monster movie produced by JJ abrams and stated to be on screen January 18 2008. Wow. And the whole movie is shot using hand-held video cam!! argh! Good god. Fantastic.

Synopsis

"Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.

For now, we dont know any shit about that monster. Guess we'll have to wait :(

Michael Stahl-David is set to be the leading role of this movie. I bet this movie gonna be a good one. Dont miss it !

Oh yeah, here's the link if you wanna catch the trailer.

.

To be frank, i dont have any idea to name this particular blog. I am currently not feeling that good. Physically , emotionally and everything else. You see, God , is great. I believe in God and seriously i dont think i am a good person. Ive been leading myself to this whole new thing which really not into what im believing. But, ive always wanted to change. Change everything. Sometimes i even want to just find the restart button in life. To just forget everything. Make it normal. Back to the days when im just innocent and fragile. Slowly, things are drifting apart. Well, in point of view at least.

Lets just think.. Deeeply. Go through everything. Think about yourself for one second. Find yourself. Your true self and stand on your base. Dont let anyone take your dignity away. And bare on mind that life , is unpredictable and you , you have the right to lead your own damn self.

Story of my life.

I'm currently listening to Bon Jovi's ' Story Of My life ' . Actually it got me thinking for awhile that life is not what we expect. Its a journey that is full of .. Everything ! Happy , crappy , and shitty surprises, every single time.

Here's the thing. My dad told me that college life would be rather fun and enjoyable. Well im in college now. And guess what? It seems like its not that fun after all. Im always in my room doing nothing. Sigh

Hopefully things will get better here. :( i miss home.
