"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"

Now let's see, they call this summer, The summer of sequels. NO doubt it is. First there was Spiderman 3, and then came Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End and then the recent Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and finally Shrek 3. Haven't seen Fantastic Four or Shrek 3 though, but so far, the only movie which has deserved an A from me is Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. Spiderman was too incoherent, too many villain fights and the story didn't quite flow for me.

I got to say this. Even without seeing Shrek 3 or Fantastic Four. I can say this with great confidence.

TRANSFORMERS GETS AN "A" FROM ME

(A is the highest rating by my standards.)

Transformers has got it all. If there's one show that has really blown me out of my expectations. Like BLOOOoooooooWwwwchhh!!! Its gotta be Transformers. The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons has definitely been told in a very heartfelt, humorous and emotional manner without losing its storyline.

ITS THE BEST MOVIE SO FAR FOR ME THIS YEAR, that's not a sequel. (ok i already told u guys my fav sequel right??}

They say Choose a Side. Obviously I will choose not to destroy. But can I choose humans. Eh that's also protectingkan??

At first I thought, how in the world are they going to tell a story about transforming robots in a way that's gonna draw people's attention or even the fan's attention. I wasn't even convinced when I saw the trailer. Yeap, trailers show the best parts of the show and often those are the only ones. So having watch a number of transformer cartoons when I was young, I kind of like ok... Hollywood is gonna screw up again. Even Michael Bay couldn't convince me. I thought this is gonna be one crap movie again. They're gonna wreck one of my fav childhood cartoons on the big screen. Back then I was like OH NO!!!

Nevermind that there are transforming robots and quite a big chunk of human element in the whole movie. A lot of fans were whining about this. Even I was, but who cares about that. I'm quite sure without the human element, this show wouldn't be as good. Shia Labeouf is an amazing actor. He really gets the humour going on as Witwicky.

It's a robot. You know, like a super advanced robot. It's probably Japanese.

Sam Witwicky

Throughout the show, there's always a problem pronouncing his surname, "Witicky..." or "Witiwiticky." Josh Duhamel, the sergeant whom I'm pretty sure all the girls will drool over.


He really gets it going as one of the greatest Decepticons exterminator. OK Megan Fox is not my fav girl on screen but she's hot though!!!



Some parts are corny though but somehow in this show, it as corny as it is hillarious and enjoyable. Really the whole cinema went into a frenzy of laughter in some parts. Oh ya, there's again the Matrix slow mos, but really it makes it even better!!

OH ya, the transforming sequences are juz simply yummy. There are juz fantastic. Love Bumble Bee. my fav Autobot a Chevrolet Camaro in the show. Hey even the Autobots were hillarious especially the hiding around the house part. The transformers even curse especially Frenzy, the annoying tiny Decepticon. Fight scenes were awesome and even the seats and floor rumble during the final battle!!!





Guess I shouldn't spoil it more. Its juz so evil for me to do it right?? I din spoil that much I guess. Did I??? OH ya if you've read this far remember to empty ur freaking bladder!!. It's a 2 and a half hour show plus those dumb ads, I guess allow yourself 3 hours of bladder-filling time. So if u dun wanna miss any second of the show, please piss it all out then watch the show..Savvy???

Myths and the Old Wives' Tales

1. Muscle Turns to Fat if You Don’t Use It: FALSE!


Muscle and
fat are two distinct tissues that don’t convert into each other. When
you stop exercising, muscles shrink and allow for fats to slide into
their place. People who stop exercising also tend to consume the same number of
calories they did when they were working out, which means fewer
calories out and probable weight gain. And since muscle mass increases
the metabolic rate, less muscle means you’re more likely to put on fat
weight if you’re eating more and exercising less. All three factors
give the illusion of muscle turning to fat. The good news is moderate
physical activity can prevent this from happening.



My comments: Gosh can u believe it, even after 2 n a half yrs of theory in medicine, I'm still telling ppl this with much conviction! Malunya..


2. Women Get Drunk Faster Than Men: TRUE!


Women’s bodies have
a lower percentage of water than men’s and, therefore, reach a higher
blood alcohol concentration faster. And that’s not all. Women have half
the amount of gastric alcohol dehydrogenase, a compound that breaks
down alcohol. The amount of alcohol metabolized by a woman’s liver and
stomach is only about 20% of the amount men metabolize. Because women
aren’t as efficient in digesting alcohol, a greater amount of alcohol
hits the bloodstream and goes straight to the brain.


My comments: Yeap agreed. Pls raise ur hands for those who learn this in A Level Biology class!


3. Alcohol Kills Brain Cells: FALSE!



People who drink on a
regular basis, even if they drink heavily, aren’t slaughtering gray
matter. Studies show that damage to human cells occurs only when
alcohol is consumed in extremely high concentrations, and the blood
alcohol concentrations that make people drunk are far lower than the
concentrations lethal to cells.

But remember that, though it doesn’t actually kill cells, heavy alcohol
consumption can cause long-term damage by disrupting the
message-carrying nerve connections (dendrites) attached to neurons in
the cerebellum



My comments: Alright..this. I didn't know. If u ask me I would most certainly say TRUE. but again the facts are an eye-opener.


4. A Cup of Green Tea Can Help You Lose Weight Faster: FALSE!


Green tea is chock full of catechins, compounds with antioxidant
properties that supposedly speed up the metabolism and help you burn
off fat. Unfortunately, the levels of energy expenditure they generate
are too small to promote any significant weight loss. On the plus side,
one study showed that men who took a special green tea extract
containing 690 milligrams of catechins – 20 times the amount in a
typical cup of green tea – lost two pounds more than those who didn’t
take the extract. So massive amounts of green tea extract might serve
as a weight loss aid, but a cup or two a day isn’t going to make any
significant difference.

My comments: HUh??? Never heard before claims. But who's crazy enough to drink so much green tea. I rather go jogging/gym.


5. People Gain an Extra Five Pounds During the Holidays: FALSE!

Although it may feel like you’ve gained five pounds by the time New Year’s rolls around, most likely you haven’t. The average person gains just one to two pounds during the six-week year-end holiday period. In a recent study of 200 adults, participants gained an average of 1.05 pounds between early October and late February. Only 10% of the subjects gained more than five pounds. The biggest problem is that any weight you gain tends to stick around for good, despite those New Year’s resolutions you make. So make sure you watch the number of holiday goodies you consume.


Now for the Myth Quiz

Try to answer them then c whether ur grandparent/frens/parents have been telling u tales or truths.

Monday.

Friday.

What i've to say: They din teach this in med school. Maybe this applies to the kwai los onli. What about the Asians???

4. Pregnant women should avoid cat litter boxes because:


Cat scratch fever is a danger.

A cat is more likely to attack an expectant mother.

The risk of toxoplasmosis is a danger.

What i've to say: Come on med students. Heard of Toxoplasma Gondii???

5. The best way to remove a tick is to:


Burn it.

Pour gasoline over it.

Pull it straight up out of the skin with tweezers.

What i've to say: LOL who wants to burn scalp or pour gasoline juz to get rid of some bug!! Then again tweezers..how bout fingernails??

For the Answers:

1. Cutting your hair creates the illusion that it has grown back thicker. Removing the tips give the appearance of coarser hair.
2. During the holidays most people gain 1.05 pounds.
   
3. Heart attacks are most common on
   Mondays. The risk of heart attacks is about 20% greater for men on
   Mondays and 15% greater for women.
4. Pregnant women should avoid cat
   litter boxes to limit the risk of toxoplasmosis, which cats can
   contract by eating small prey that harbor parasites. Infection can also
   occur by ingesting contaminated raw meat. When a cat is infected, the
   organisms come off in its droppings. Infants born to mothers who become
   infected for the first time during or just before getting pregnant are
   more vulnerable to severe toxoplasmosis.
5. The best way to remove a tick is by grasping it as close to the skin as possible with tweezers and pulling it straight up.
   
6. It doesn't matter how long you wait
   after a meal you go swimming. Although swimming strenuously after
   eating could lead to cramps, it's not as likely for recreational
   swimmers.
7. To prevent the spread of disease, you
   should replace your toothbrush every three to four months, although
   bacteria can spread even before then. Prop your toothbrush up
   vertically and keep it by an open window.
8. There is no research to support that
   the dried, crushed body of the Spanish fly enhances sex drive. In
   anything larger than small doses, it can actually be toxic and cause
   damage to the kidneys and genitals.
9. Women can improve their chances of
   achieving multiple orgasms by strengthening the pelvic muscles with
   pelvic exercises, known as Kegels.
10. Sitting too close to the television has no effect on your eyesight.

I think its way too late for me.

In my next issue of whining, about something. I know, I HAVE NEVER whine in my blog for the record but I had to get this off my system. It's pestering me like a blardy freaking splinter on my nail or more like a thorn in my brain.

This is a totally unrelated matter to the previous post. Yeah, people don't usually whine on their blogs. But wat the heck blogs are meant to be some form of medium to channel your thoughts, opinions, happenings and your life. It's more of wat you want to blog about. Not something that is wrong or right to me. More like a freedom of choice but, done with care and responsibility(if you know wat i mean...)

Yeah, this is something which I also kind of regret but I feel that this is going to affect me a blardy blardy blardy long time. Some people think I'm just weird that I'm like that. Not NORMAL were some of their comments. Some think I'm part of a different group. Some call it a minority group but trust me I'M NOT part of it.

Maybe it's juz being typical Bryan Wong. Maybe it's how life has treated me. Trust me life's experiences have barely supported me on this matter and it has never been kind considering the recent sequences of events which has totally blew me away. Till this day, I still can't grasp the entirety of this most misfortune event. I have always been sceptical about this issue despite all the millions of advice people has given to me, "Why don't you try??" "What's wrong with it?" I will politely say "NAh.., not ready" "It's not time.... yet" or the famous and safest answer would be "I dunno..." It might sound like I'm perfectly fine with those kind of questions but really if I was brazen enough I will say this with utmost clarity, "Cos I don't want to laa... For what?? Life's better without it. It only leads to problems." but this is what I do when the voice in my head when it says, "Hey dude I think you should do something about it..."

I've never believe in it nor dwell in it but despite being very firm and adamant in my beliefs, I guess life could have a funny way of changing your stand and believes. I just don't see it yet. Part of me wants it and the other part of me thinks it's just something you can live without, a disturbance, a total annoyance and a total incarceration of your own freedom. It's strange that as much as I don't want something, the more it pops up in my mind. Probably it's a sign I should do something. But still, I don't see any reason to explore this treacherous path.

Until then, this bunch of rhetorical riddles may have baffled some of you, but my suggestion is that you should just forget what you've read. Cos when someone runs out of ideas to blog, all sorts of junk starts coming out. Ahem, not all of my "no-ideas-post" are that boring either!!!

The road taken was the wrong road???

I think I've gotten myself in a freaking mess. A mess of sorts which won't be corrected unless I made a radical decision which could not be good for me. Now that I'm already involve with this and that, I really wander why I make that decision. I should not have said yes when I knew the opportunity was already there and it was already such a good experience. Maybe I'm just lost, searching for the right path. Now it just reminds me of "The road not taken" by Robert Frost.

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.

Robert Frost

Did I take the right road down, Was it the right path?? Probably it was the road which wanted wear and needed passing, but still I'm not sure. Could this be really the right choice. The choices I have made have given me such a big headache, that I just wish that I didn't have to make them at all. I would have less worries, I would have enjoyed myself better, I would have felt better if I've sticked to the "NO" instead of the "YES". Too bad, people have been too persuasive and have sort of lured me into something which has now caused me big problems to solve.. SIGH. Guess, this is just some 101 lessons in life about decision making.

Now that I'm in a state of dilemma, I really hope that this would have benefited me in the way I deserve and hopefully make the difference cos if not drastic measures have to be taken.



Sigh...........

Introducing.........

ESMEE DENTERS

Esmee Denters??

If you have not known, as most of you haven't..Esmee Denters is the first artist to be signed by Justin Timberlake's Tenman Records.


Huh?More questions??


Alright let me begin with a brief introduction of her. Esmee Denters hails all the way from the Netherlands, ok its also called Holland but specifically she's from a small town call Oosterbeek. She's only 18 and she's a really talented singer worthy of a final placing in American Idol. She loves singing all the time and one day she decided that she should give it a shot on Youtube and that was when it really was a matter of time before she becomes one of the biggest, possibly the biggest success stories of undiscovered singers trying to make it through the Internet.

She then posted videos of her singing various songs from Alicia Keys, John Legend, Beyonce, Mary J Blidge Christina Aguilera and recently JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!!! Her videos on Youtube became so popular that it generated a combined total of 21 million plus views to date. When I first saw her most recent performance "What goes around" by Justin Timberlake on Youtube, it had already 2 million plus views. Now the view counter hits a staggering 3.5 million views!!!

"She sings my song better than me" Justin Timberlake

As Justin aptly puts it,

“In completely unpredicted news to all YouTubers and bloggers, we are proud to announce Esmee Denters has signed to Tennman Records and she will be joining me on tour this summer. Esmee is the real deal and I cannot wait for the world to hear her, but all of her fans on YouTube should not worry…we will keep you in the loop every step of the way,” announced today by Justin Timberlake, Chairman/CEO of the label.

To put it as unpredicted, kinda hit the right spot for me, but generating such a huge fan base and support from people all around the world, its only a matter of time before she hit it big.


Kelly Rowland interview with Deejay Menno Barreveld

"I think its amazing actually how she was discovered. I think it allows the public to make their star. You know what I mean. This girl loves to sing and can do it beautifully. She can sing her butt off and all it takes is one recording. I love how she sits in front of her computer and just sings her heart out and everybody loves that. Its as simple as that and i think that says a lot of about her as an artist as well. You know what I mean, that people just loves her voice. And they love her energy cos she has such beautiful energy." Kelly Rowland

For me, I think she's more of a soulful singer maybe more in the genre of Alicia Keys with a bit of Jojo, cos Jojo kind of have the soulful style in "How to touch a girl" which I think Esmee could do really well.

These two videos are my personal favs.

Esmee Denters will be opening for Justin Timberlake's Euro tour which begins this month. She will also be releasing her album later this year

Is this REAL???

I have great admiration for people who are willing to push their abilities to the limits. The two pictures here in this post are by far the most impressive form of art I have ever come across.




The pic on top is a picture of a model, Tica who isn't quite known to me until I discovered this pic.

Believe it or not that isn't even a photo. IT'S JUST A FREAKING PAINTING!!! There call this Photorealism. According to the artist Dru Blair who kind of specializes in this form of art, it took him 65-75 hours to complete. I see no imperfections in this artwork that can confirm otherwise but still its freaking hard to believe that it's just a painting. Head over to his website to confirm my outrageous claims!



Ahh, one of my favourite Korean actresses, "......." isn't real here either!! The pic on top generated up to 5000+ diggs on Digg. Try to guess who's she. She doesn't look exactly like the real person but if I give you a clue, she acted in Full House, yes the one with Rain.




She's Song Hye Kyo!!

The pic is computer modeled from scratch in 3ds Max and Zbrush. Though it looks close to a real photo, the eyes and smile sort of give it away that its computer modeled.

But still, its by far the most realistic 3d model of a human ever to be created by this genius>>>>

Title: Song Hye Kyo
Name: Max Edwin Wahyudi
Country: Indonesia
Software: 3ds max, ZBrush

Are the XY species going less??

"If you are thinking of having children and want to have a boy, you might want to book that romantic weekend getaway soon. Boys are getting harder to make, according to a new analysis.

Worldwide, a handful of extra boys have historically been born for every 100 girls. Boys are also more likely to die young, so it all works out by the time they start dating."

Not too sure of the facts here. Since the article referred to only 2 studies. See below >>>>

"Devra Lee Davis of the University of Pittsburgh and her colleagues gathered data on U.S birth ratios from the National Center for Health Statistics. From 1970 to 2001, they found, the number of boys born for every 100 girls dropped steadily from 105.5 to 104.6. Male births among U.S. whites dropped even more steeply, from 105.9 per 100 girls to 104.7."

"The researchers found similar declines in Japan, another industrialized country with excellent birth records. They also found that the proportion of deaths among fetuses after the 20th week of pregnancy (before that, gender can be difficult to determine) has steadily risen in both countries. The data suggest that some, but not all, of the decline in male births is because of fetal loss. The remainder appears to be because of fewer males being conceived."

Does this mean that the world would soon run out of men and is this a good thing? Should we be all concern about this information?


Well if you ask me, I wouldn't but it is worth exploring since those claims came from two countries whose health care system is one of the best in the world but I would not be able to tell if the study carried out is of good quality. How was the study carried out? Were they any difficulties in obtaining accurate data? Though it has does not provide reasons for these claims still I wouldn't believe it yet until more studies are carried out.

But it seems strangely convenient for data to appear in two first world countries to make a claim that "Worldwide a handful of extra boys have historically been born for every 100 girls....." when the 100 girls actually came from US. The lower male births could be attributed to the rapid pace of development for Japan and US, which could have been due to chemicals in the food, water or lifestyle.

If you ask me, these claims are simply atrocious because there don't represent the world as a whole. And if the male species is going extinct, I don't think that two countries can decide the fate of the male species in general.

OK, let's clear this out. The reason why I post this is not in any way, a form of male sexism or chauvinism. As a medical student, more so for a medical research student, we have learned not to accept every darn information from research studies or papers.

Read this on Y chromosome not going extinct. >>>> Link

Because strong claims and even weak claims could have so much impact towards society, that suddenly you see many people start to believe in something so medically significant to the point that they are willing to make dramatic changes in their lives like the antioxidant scam.

You see most people, believe that taking antioxidant pills or tablets will give you a better quality of life. Antioxidants actually prevent damage to cells thus allowing its repair and growth amongst its many functions. Some oxidants can set a precedence towards cancer for example gastric cancer and colon cancer. Unfortunately according to a study, antioxidants administered in pill form is no more effective than taking a placebo.

A meta-analysis study carried out produced some shocking results which is quite a bitter pill to swallow for some...
>>>>>In fact some studies have actually proved that antioxidants cause a SLIGHT INCREASE in cancer.

So for those who wants to still take antioxidants take it from fruits and vegetables.

Tis, The Dumpling Season is Nigh..

Deck the halls with strings of dumplings,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
We shall all begin our feast now,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!

Every year, just before the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar year, my mum would be making dumplings for all of us. Before this scrumptious dumplings can make it out of the wok, she will spent long hours meticulously preparing the ingredients, so that she will not waste them, cos there are getting more and more expensive every year. Believe me, the initial process is painstaking and very tiring. So she's really worried how it will taste like.

Dumplings: Glutinous rice the major ingredient, plus "mei tau", fung lut (chestnut), "ha mai"(shrimps), egg yolk, oyster, pork, mushrooms all make wat I call da "Home Made Dumpling".

The Final Verdict: Is almost always certainly so good, that I have to always remind her that she should open some makan shop. Dun care whether it is dumplings.... Bcoz she's really a great cook

To find out why this is ONE BIG LOUSY joke, please refer to the next post

Are you LOST??

As some of you have known, especially the avid LOST followers, Season 3 has recently come to an end. And the ending is great but there are even more questions arise from the season finale.

There was a recent announcement that the remaining 3 series, which makes LOST a full six season series. The last 3 seasons will run uninterrupted for 16 episodes culminating in a shocking finale in 2009-2010.

The numbers "48 15 16 23 42" is a lottery number which earned Hugo a.k.a Hurley nearly 150 million dollars.

Can u imagine what would you do with that amount of money??

Of course Hugo went on a spending spree, buying a huge mansion, a shop of his own which all got destroyed by some strange series of events. His winnings instead brought him more misery and disaster and from dat day on, he believed that those numbers are CURSED. AS he had discovered from some dude in a rehabiliation centre.

In LOST, those numbers actually appear again and again in the show,

"48 15 16 23 42"

• Oceanic Flight 815
• The sum of all the numbers, 48+15+16..... equals to 108 which is the time frame where Desmond had to enter the number in the Swan station.
  
• Hugo's winning lottery ticket number.
• There were 48 survivors in the fuselage section
• The monk telling Desmond they have only 108 bottles of wine.
  
• Roman Numbers on a diagram, one of them is 108.

This number is part of a so-called Valenzetti Equation which can predict the exact time when the world will end. It is actually the product of a research by Enzo Valenzetti, a math prodigy but a recluse.

(Enzo Valenzetti is a fictitious character in the LOST World)

My Predictions for LOST

Walt...

Walt returned in the final episode, looking older than the Walt we used to see. Michael wasn't there though. Walt instructed Locke in this final episode to wake up because "he has work to do...."

What I believe here, is that the entire island is situated in a time zone where everything seems to be moving slower than the outside world. So when, Ben let Michael and Walt go, few years may have already passed but on the island it was just a couple of months.

Walts Mission....

This is what I believe, Walt might have come back to the Island to instruct Locke to accomplish a task which could have been ruined by Ben. Ben seemed like a man who's bent on accomplishing something noble, probably to save the world as most part of the series have told us but more likely he's a man with a hidden agenda bent on achieving something totally different for his self-interest which might explain why Jacob said "Help me..." to John Locke.


John Locke...


John Locke would be able to stop Ben from his hidden motives and bring back order to the entire island. John Locke was special as Ben mentioned before and that was why Ben trusted John to help him finish his work. So when Jacob said "Help me..." , and later Ben shot him. I believe that Ben became afraid that his "noble" plans might not work out.

My thoughts on the island.

I believe that Jacob is the central figure controlling the island. But things got out of hand when Ben interfered. I think that Jacob was a man but very special/gifted person. The island chose him so that the Island could perhaps communicate with any inhabitants who came to the island. He must have died somehow, probably due to natural causes or Ben. So Jacob's consciousness fused with the island.

The island seems to have some rather strange electromagnetic properties which could have resulted in the dreams, hallucinations, the whispers, John Locke's ability to walk again, Sun conceiving, the death of all mothers who had previously given birth and Desmond's premonitions. This strange occurrences could have only materialized because Jacob communicated with them. I believe that Desmond should have died at the Swan station which was completely obliterated. Jacob saved him and he was given the gift of seeing the future.



Desmond's ability might be useful in changing some of the things that has previously happen before for example Charlie's death. He was suppose to be dead 3 times but he died only during the"fourth" time. He might also play a role in changing the fate of all the survivors for example, avoiding the crash. But this theory only works if the survivors are trapped on the island and the island somehow created a time loop until things get corrected.


In a way this sort of agrees with the "order of the universe" or "the universe has a way of balancing things" as mentioned in the show but it also contradicts that statement because if Charlie doesn't die yet he will sooner or later. Charlie later died in the Looking Glass station in the final episode.

Something Possible...

The flash forward scenes in LOST could have been a prediction of what will happen but may not necessarily happen.

When Naomi said that all the people on Flight Oceanic 815 died, she could have been lying and this should prove Ben statement right. This could be the most logical explanation why the survivors are still there on the island unless they are all trapped in a parallel world created by the island itself which is highly unlikely.



It might be possible that the rescuers might caused even more imbalance to the island's function and the world.
