Happens Once Every Four Years

Look at the date today. Yeap, it's February the 29^th! (or ventinueve de Febrero in Spanish)

As all of you know, 2008 is a leap year. Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year, so every 4 years there is a February 29th, Right? Not exactly, because years that can also divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year, like 1700, 1800, 1900 except it is also divisible by 400. So years like 1600, 2000, 2400 is a leap year.

I could not imagine some people actually have to wait for 4 years to celebrate their actual birthday. >_<

Life of Warfare

People always hope to find world peace sooner or later. I am a believer of this seemingly unachievable resolution too. But somehow, there is always conflict, quarrels, fights and confrontations happening out of the blue in life. Of course, we are either the offensive who seeks something they want, the defendant who never backs down without a fight, the mediator to keep the peace (and desperately trying to end the fight) or someone who happens to witness the whole thing unfolds.

These unpleasantness just happens. Just because everyone has a lot of ideas and opinions to disagree on, something everyone wants but there is not enough for everyone, or even something they felt they are unhappy over things.

So why we don't just all agree on everything?

We just can't. After all we are individuals with different personalities, backgrounds and their opinions shaped based on anything they have seen, heard and felt. As no one had the same experiences, so their point of view will never be the same. If everyone walks, acts and talks the same, then the world is definitely boring. Guess diversity comes with its disadvantages, huh? =)

So in the end of the day, after we pursue the art of arguing, we should start picking up what's next -- the art of compromising.

TV's Back!!!!

Okay, i know i'm a bit too late for this. The Writer's Guild strike has concluded on February 12, 2008. Which means the writers are back at their studios writing scripts for our shows we love so much.

These are some of the shows resuming in a few weeks or April. I only list some of the popular shows, if you see your favorite is not here, no worries! They are back too. The ones in green are the ones I watch religiously, light blues are occasional fan of the show.

Heroes One tree Hill Brothers & Sisters 24 Eureka Ugly Betty Pushing Daisies House Friday Night Lights Scurbs Family Guy Lost How I Met Your Mother Aliens in America Smallville Prison Break The Office Desperate Housewives Grey's Anatomy Supernatural The Simpsons

This means i have a lot of entertainment (read: distraction) in store!

Valentine's for Singletons

Valentine's day it's like any other day for me.... Obviously just because I don't have a significant other to celebrate with... haha.

It's not like I don't really try to find one, it's just that I don't feel I'm ready for a relationship. Relationship commitment is something I don't really think of right now, especially when a lot of things happening in my life. But then again, if there's someone I really like, and some chemistry happening, who knows?

Okay, maybe I'm not making an effort to find true love. =P

Whether you are in a wonderful relationship with someone or living a life as a single:

Happy Valentine's Day!

geez, this is my first time using pink to write on my blog. :)

Year of the.....

How's your Chinese New Year to you?

Well, mine is the usual hike to Genting Highlands (as one of my aunts has a vacation home at one of the resorts. And yes, it's a yearly thing. So don't be jealous coz i'm getting a little too tired of that place already) Ang pow claiming (there was a slight hike though :P), yee sang tossing, the usual reunion dinner, and the conversations somehow centered on gambling and 4D numbers.

Sounds like a typical Chinese family to you, eh?

Yes. it's becoming a trend in most people that most people would try their luck on the betting table. I too fall under the "most people" category. Tried blackjack to score some extra money, and heck the results varies greatly, VERY greatly. At one point I was winning, then somehow I lost whatever I won. Oh well, that's life, you win some and you lose some. Most of all it revolves around taking risks.

Once again Happy New Year to all!

The Sims 2 Music Videos

These are the music video made by EA games over the years.






Don't worry about what they were singing. They are merely the gibberish version of the actual songs.

Chinese New Year's coming...

Yea, It's the time of the year again. The trip back home, family reunions, any most of all extra pocket money earned via ang pows!

This year it's the year of the Earth Rat. Why earth? wel, it's something i learned a little about Chinese horoscope. Check out this year's final digit. 2008, number 8 is the earth year, so is number 9. 0s and 1s are metals, 2s and 3s are water, 4s and 5s are wood and 6s and 7s are fire.

Hope everyone has a great time in this new year ! =)
