爱，有时候是很矛盾的。

有时候也会害怕。怕自己是她幸福的羁绊，怕她值得更好的，怕自己不能够全心全意地去爱。

也许怕，是因为......吧。

New Movie coming up... The Expendables

2010-06-19T20:55:00.000-07:00

There is a new movie coming up starring Sylvester Stallone , Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Randy Couture, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Check out the cast man. LOOK AT THE CAST. It's going to be HUGE.

But too bad we don't have a cinema in KT.

I'm so going to miss KL. Magic, Martial arts, friends... How I wish I can come back to KL for housemanship... Counting down... 10 more days.

如果她和她对我的思念可以对调
如果我可以像我爱她一样的爱她

I don't know. you ask the pro.

2010-04-04T10:22:00.000-07:00

My student asked me, how did I market myself to get my 1st show? I said I didn't. And as a matter of fact I'm not getting as much shows as my capability deserved due to the lack of marketing.

I was saying he should have asked the pro, those who've just picked up magic for a year or two and have a resume the length of my dick. (meaning very long).

April fool was awesome.

Last week, we conquered bukit Gasing. Jungle trekking was rather nostalgic for me as it reminds me of my secondary school years. We had a hell lot of fun.

My Judo Sensei just turned 63 years old last saturday. He is a japanese man with 8 pack abs and arm the size of my thigh.(that's 10x twillight Jacob hot considering he is approximately 6ft, and can take down a 130kg man with ease), How I wish I could be like him when I'm 63. He has a heart of gold.

I talked to her today.

Starcraft 2 sort of live up to my expectation, the new zerg queen is imba fun to play, terran M&M+ siege tank still works like charm, and protoss mothership's got vortex!!!

Still need to work on my special learning module tomorrow, time to hit the bed.

Just watched the movie. Walao wei really not bad lor. Donnie Yen is really not bad lor

WuZun looks like a girl from all angles. Alright he is a hunk but still he looks like a girl.
My favourite quote from the movie is from him,

"我喜欢抢，但是我更喜欢打架”

which translates to "I love to raid, but I prefer fighting." Hell yeah. Can't wait for Ip Man 2. It is going to rock.

Birthday 2010

2010-03-26T09:52:00.000-07:00

quote unquote from post last year

I've a loving family, found true friends, got the intelligent, the look (not forgetting my obnoxious narcissistic streak), no disabilities (except for occasional oral incontinence), and had experienced so much more than most people of my age.

It will be a sin if I desire any more blessing.

Maybe the day you stop desiring to be a better is the day to retire. Nothing's changed, things are getting better, but now I want more. I need to learn to be A STRONGER MAN.

I owe my life to my parents who have sacrificed much to bring me up.

I'm genuinely thankful to my brothers and friends who were there when I needed them.

Looking back, my time could have been a lot more productive. I will work hard to be a man worthy to be my parents' son and my friends' best buddy. 21st birthday would suck ass without you guys.

The Camouflage

2010-03-22T05:01:00.000-07:00

Most of my friends know me as the magician. Weird, whenever the press talk about me, they always refer to me as the medical student.

I'm a serpent with long memory

That's a pic of mine on KLUE magazine March 2010. There is an Article on The Magic Annexe. Check it out you guys.

please.

Tommorrow will be my first Judo class, Wheeeee~~~ I'm so damn excited! :D Holiday is awesome

Jackpot

2010-03-19T06:12:00.000-07:00

Just got back my result of my part of professional examination and I realized how grotesquely luck I've been throughout my whole life. I don't work as hard as most of my classmates but I've been consistently passing, and I owe all of these to my housemate, Holmes.

Thank you bro you're THE MAN.

Unlike me, he is the studious one and he is one fucking good friend. I am soooo damn lucky to have him as my housemate. SO DAMN LUCKY.

Plan for the holiday:

Yesterday night the jujitsu sensei says I fight like an animal and if I don't control he will ban me so Sparring. OH NO I LOVE SPARRING. I think I need to be more gentle next week. Or maybe I need to fake and lose a match or two. LOLx.

So this holiday I'm going to pick up judo. Adding judo to my jujitsu and karate will make me more complete as a fighter. yeah can learn Muay Thai when I go KT. Then I will be really all rounded. bwahhaha.

And I need to put on 10 kg this holiday. Then need to study a lil bit. Then maybe I will try to get a restaurant gig or something.

Seems like a busy and productive holiday ahead of me

I'm leaving you

2010-02-04T06:12:00.001-08:00

I promised myself that my last show is going to be my last show before exam. It is going to be meaningless if I spend my time infront of computer.

If everything goes well I'm not going to online for a month starting tommorrow. It's going to be a month of studying, gym and martial art.

I know you guys are so going to miss me. You can revise my earlier post to be reminded of my exquisite charm.

If you want to flame my blog, please kindly wait till next month. In the mean time try to get a life or have fun playing with yourself.

Alrighty then.

Professional?

2010-01-31T20:05:00.000-08:00

If you're easily offended, leave.

A few years ago I considered myself a professional magician. Believe it or not, I thought getting my first paid gig elevate my status from a hobbyist to a pro. I was 16.

I started magic when I was 14, and 2 yrs of experience doesnt produce professionals. I was practising 12 hrs a day everyday for 2 years, I was devoted but as a matter of fact I suck.

But people hired me, I was on TV and stuff, merely because so and so says that I can perform well and I get shows. (yea I was sort of like "above average" back then when the standard was low) After every single show I thought I struggled because the crowd was bad, the enviroment wasnt optimum for performance, and tons of ridiculous excuses for screwing up.

Now that I've been performing paid gigs for around 5 years, since last year, miraculously there is no more "bad crowd" and people wants to see me perform even when we're standing under the blazing sun.

My point is, perhaps I wasnt that much of a "professional" 5 years ago. The problem was me. But I failed to realized that. People around me thought I was good. Shit. So I was living in my deluded world for several year and it damaged the industry I love so deeply.

Well but it is far more devastating in the recent years. People who just picked up magic for 1 year starts to call themselves professionals. It is disgusting to see some teenage boys doing mind reading on stage. The professional image of magician is wrecked. Fuck them in the face.

Hey mate doing paid shows doesnt make you a pro.

Laughing at others' tragedy makes me feel better. Okay maybe magic is a lil bit screwed, but another industry is totally fucked.

I mean like gang banged by 10 donkeys in the ass.

I'm talking about the professional photographers.

You guys seriously...

I mean there are people who just bought a DSLR and became a pro faster than getting an erection watching Paris Hilton's sex tape. Faster than your boy friend's orgasm.

How do you guys survive?

I was on the phone asking my friend if i should get my photoshot done for my profile, and he said, "A few of us in the club are interested in photography, why not do it ourselves?"

Geat idea. I agreed.

I mean around 10% of my friends owns DSLR. Yea I don't have much friends. XD. Shit then who needs professional photographers?

And some of my friends are now pro. Whoa. Congratulations. I am SO PROUD OF YOU.

why does that sounds sarcastic? :P

Try to draw a line between professionalism and hobbies. I don't know shit about photography but I think it is not that easy. I'm not trying to deny the possibility that you're extremely gifted in that field, but hey, maybe you're deluded, just like I was.

Oh.

2010-01-27T06:48:00.000-08:00

Oh. Good luck. You will need it.

或许我已经开始认为和你的一切都是错，我的错。才会想逃避，才会逼自己不去想。

她，和你好像。是同样的地点，不同的她却有着熟悉的发香。

是怎样的挣扎后--唐突的主动。
我还没变。惯性被情感支配; 惯性被"她"支配。

是一见钟情还是不甘寂寞?

是爱，还是狩猎的心又在蠢蠢欲动？
惑许只是我冲动的借口

New year resonlution 2010!!!

2010-01-01T03:34:00.000-08:00

Wheee one good thing about blogis that you get to keep track of things you've posted.

Last year I posted a new year resolution and now it's time to review and set a new one for 2010

Jan 7, 2009
New Year Resolutions!

1) More effort for my studies ( =D )
2) be a better magician (Didnt do much show but there are a few impressive clients to add to my profile )
3) put on weights (Before 2010 I'm officially 60kg)
4) learn a music instrument (Phailed. But I learned to swim and I picked up Karate)
5) Learn to cook better (Phailed two)
6) abstinence, sexual purity (2009 is one great year. Met a lot of cool people. Kind people. Most are awesome, but I didnt think I was good enough for them so. I'm still a virgin, sort of. What kind of fucking New year resolution was that anyway.)

Overall 2009 is a pretty decent year for me. I've learnt a lot more than I thought I could.

1st day of 2010 I've some new plans

1) Pass year 2
2) Be a better magician.
3) Physically become more fit (able to bench heavier than my weight), heavier (be 65kg before my birthday), less fat, and more flexible.
4) Widen my social circle. Meet more people. Get a girlfriend if possible.
5) Be less vulgar, if possible.

That's it. Thank you everybody for making 2009 a great learning experience for me. Thank you for your love, care, understanding and tolerance. And I ask for your forgiveness if I've done anything wrong, 2010 we will all start afresh

Happy New year

Evil pokemon

2009-12-20T23:16:00.000-08:00

I was wandering online until i came across a site that caught my attention. The title really kick ass, it is "Pokemon Dungeons&Dragons mind control".

I LOVE POKEMON, and I LOVE MIND CONTROL. So I clicked the link.

Awesome post. I havent laughed so hard reading since I got addicted to south park.

Take this paragraph for example

POKEMON was BIRTHED In HELL!!

I WANTS WHAT I WANTS WHEN I WANTS IT ...

We are living in a 'Popeye' society
POKEMON is made by the same company which
makes Dungeons & Dragons
It is a mind control game and NOT good for kids!

Interesting ... and your evidence?

These characters are headstrong, stubborn, constantly quibbling, & vindictive.

(yea but they are just cartoon characters.)

Brock has a fascination with the opposite sex,

(and... you don't?)

and Jesse and James reprone to cross-dressing.

(errr I watched pokemon but I doubt their cross dressing left any impact on me. I totally forgotten about it)

Some say Pokemon bigger than past obsessions with Beanie Babies or Star Wars. Even adults are committing Pokemon violence. A North Carolina man was charged with assault for punching a Burger King cashier after he did not get a Pokemon toy with his meal.

(Dumbass and rednecks are EVERYWHERE. Please don't blame pokemon for the crime. This argument is genius, it is like blaming money for bank robberies.

I remember a few years back Singaporeans push each other to get Hello Kitty toy in McDonald's and people get hurt. DAMN perhaps Hello Kitty is from hell too!!!!)

The paragraph on Harry Potter is even more amusing.

Chek it out when you guys are free. http://www.revlu.com/pok.html

Here is another paragraph from the site:

Over time, such a child will become
desensitized to the Holy Spirit and will be increasingly unable to
discern the darkness from the light.

Holy Science. That explains a lot. LOLOLx

Amazing

2009-12-20T06:37:00.000-08:00

Amazing how much one can learn from watching southpark.

Stan: Yeah well people make us kids believe that heaven is this white place with fluffy clouds and angels.

Kyle: Yeah but, we think maybe heaven isn't a place you can get to, maybe heaven is just an idea, a frame of mind or something gay like that. Maybe heaven is this moment right now.

Stan's dad: The only heaven we can hope for is the one on earth, now. We should stop waiting to get into heaven and start trying to create one.

Speaking about words of wisdom. XD

I had an epiphany again. I should refrain myself from using curse words. Well but I know I cant please everybody. I've taken the first step to change myself, if you still can't stand the way I speak...

Fudge off.

2009-11-30T05:45:00.001-08:00

I'm the worst friend ever

2009-11-26T02:39:00.000-08:00

FUCK.

DO I SUCK THAT MUCH AS A FRIEND? DO I FUCKED UP TO THE EXTEND THAT MY NAME DIDNT CROSS YOUR MIND AT ALL WHEN YOU'RE DEPRESSED?

OH FUCK MAYBE IT IS ME BEING TOO INSENSITIVE.

FUCK ME.

How I wish this is a fucking joke. Man. TELL ME IT'S A JOKE.

Can't believe we chatted online few weeks ago and now you're gone. Can't fucking believe I didnt realize something was wrong.

Some say let it go. But I really want to know why. WHY

We've been through so much together. Damn. Recollection of our memories is killing me.

I'm the worst friend. I didnt care. FUCK ME. I didnt care. I didnt know anything. FUCK ME AS A FRIEND.

I could have showed you that I do care about you. MAN I MISS YOU. I REALLY DO.

You should have called me. You know I always cheer you up. Eventhough my jokes are lame and vulgar, you'd laugh at them. FUCK. WHAT IS THE USE SAYING ALL THESE. YOU CANT SEE IT NOW CAN YOU?

WHY??? WHY??

Roommate for 2 years dude. WTF.

NO I DON'T NEED EXTRA ATTENTION. For those who are reading, and if you care about me, I don't need fucking counseling sessions, just pay more attention to your friends around you. Call your parents. Love those who care about you. If you're sad of something, call me. friends I really care. There is nothing we cant overcome.

And dude, call me. If there is another side, call me from there and tell me you're doing fine. FUCK I WISH you're doing fine.

If not, if that's the end. You'd still live in my memory.

R.I.P

WenJie recommended this movie to me few days ago, saying that it will give me the motivation to do 500 push ups after watching.

The plot is kind of like Rocky cliche but it really is a good movie. The girl is hot. Watch it when you're free guys.

Have been readings quotes on Wikiquote for sometime and I just came across Carl Sagan and his 1st quote caught my attention.

"It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas … If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you … On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones."

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. "

For those who concerns, I'm lucky as usual. I am satisfied.

Realized I'm spending at least 1/4 of my life on exercise and combat art.

check out this hong kong movie, flash point.

In the 1st minute of the show I knew I'd love it. Over shoulder throw follow up with a flying armbar take down.

How I wish I could be as skilled one day.

Didnt get to sparr today damn it. I want to practise.

I go drink milk sleep d.

Impressed

2009-10-03T05:44:00.000-07:00

Damn I AM IMPRESSED.

Like Holmes said my perception of my capability is over rated. Now that my confidence has dropped to realistic level, when I've regained it I would be a changed person.

Or at least I hope so. LOL

Insecurity

2009-09-16T03:59:00.000-07:00

I had an epiphany yesterday looking at my friend's facebook update, realizing that me too haven't been updating my blog for months.

Am I exhausted from my daily activities or is it that I couldnt care less?

Maybe I've matured and do not need that much attention anymore.

I always thought that insecurity is a void that requires constant attention, until the individual is self-suffice.

Interesting how easy it is to spot the insecures....

Few more days and it is the end of the semester. Thanks to my friends I've picked up a few new skills, like basketball, swimming and skipping rope. Not bad. Exam is coming. Let's work hard.

Before I go to bed

2009-08-18T09:57:00.000-07:00

Just want to remind myself what a dangerous world we're living in. We're different from all other organisms on earth, for the most treacherous enemy threatening our survival is our own kind.

Qi.

Some say there is nothing much we can do, Qi, I'm still sane enough not to confront this paramount wickedness yet.

Maybe running away is the smarter choice.

But I will fight. Just wait.

Look at the world, study the history, what we need is one good, strong leader. Think.

Now I have the drive to move.

When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle

I was browsing the net and came across this.

http://blog.thestar.com.my/permalink.asp?id=25693

Why is there all these calamity? Does H1N1 really deserve such attention from the public? Or maybe the publicity is required to divert our a focus away from certain issues (think TBH), and once again we fall victim to the manipulation. Evil qi.

I can still recall, years ago, how Dr.Mahathir and Lee Kuan Yew had disagreements over matter everytime during the time of crisis.

Why am I seeing all these as propaganda in disguise, fuck me, why do I see conspiracies everywhere.....maybe I am REALLY paranoid.

我之甘冒世之不韪，竭全力以斗者，非特求免凶惨之苦痛，实求良心之安顿，求人格之确立，求灵魂之救度耳。人谁不求庸德？人谁不安现成？人谁不畏艰难？然且有突围而出者，大岂得已而然哉？......我将于茫茫人海中访我唯一灵魂之伴侣，得之我幸；不得，我命。如此而已......嗟夫吾师：我尝奋我灵魂之精髓，以凝成一理想之明珠，涵之以热满之心血，明照我深奥之灵府。而庸俗忌之嫉之，辄欲麻木其灵魂，捣碎其理想，杀灭其希望，污毁其纯洁！我之不流入堕落，流入庸懦，流入卑污，其几亦微矣！

Finally I have more time. More time for myself to rest and to learn.

Believe it or not I even have the time to download and watch a movie when I know I should be studying about how many arteries supply blood to my penis.

some amazing quotes from the movie,

"At what point in history did a doctor become more than a trusted and a learned friend visited and treated the ill?"

"What's wrong with death, sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity and decency and God forbid, maybe even humor?"

Man there is so much in common between this character and me. Well maybe except for our point of view on alternative medicine. Check this movie out friends, it is awesome.

Courage is needed to end a relationship, to give up, to resign or to commit suicide.

But see how insignificant that burst of courage is, comparing with the prolonged agony pretending to love, to shoulder the responsibility or to live facing the worst consequences.

Knowing how unbearable is the latter, I blame nobody.

Nobody.

Nobody! check out this sexy MV.

2009-06-08T05:04:00.000-07:00

I met up with secondary school mates, and together we travelled to the southern most tip of mainland asia, then to chalet in Kukup.

Paid a vist to Mrs Tay in Singapore.

Then I came back to KL for Pharm night.

Pharm queen Christine

Genting trip with classmates.

Outing to the mines after class is canceled.

Then it was public health campaign training.

As for magic, I got my 200 bucks worth of golden ninja rings. I got an orgasm merely by looking at this masterpiece of craftmanship.

>_<

Went for magic festival in Subang. Phone broken so no photos taken.

Something worth looking forward to, I'm working on an act that hopefully can be ready before October 31st.

This would be the ULTIMATE show I want to work on this year.

Pharm night

2009-05-25T09:16:00.000-07:00

I was invited to school of pharmacy's prom night. Did my new stage routine "free-will ultimate", a routine I came out with during study break. A few mistakes here and there, but overall it was fine. The queue to take picture with me is still there, so I shall shamelessly assume I did quite a good job.

Prof. Dr. Jamal was there, didnt get to talk to him. Wondering if he knows I'm a medical student. Even more curious if he wants to acknowledge me with my "punk hair style". lol

Let's talk about Magic

2009-04-18T21:26:00.000-07:00

When I say magic, I'm talking about the art of conjurering, a form of entertainment not the hocus pocus bullshit that can cure cancer by ancient chants.

There are so many different fields and types of magic, a over simplified calssification would be close-up magic (David Blaine, Criss Angel and Cyril Takayama), Stage magic (Lance Burton, Cardini) and Illusions (David Copperfield). For each type of magic we can sub classify them into the type of material, which can be card magic, coin magic, mental magic, escapology etc.

I love magic, but there are certain things in magic that I hate.

This post can be a disgustingly long rant if I start talking about shit-heads who call themselves magicians and go out and do shows when they've only learnt magic for 1~2 yrs.

So instead, I will talk about what I hate in stage magic.

In my humble opinion, the core of magic is mystery, if there is no mystery, there is no magic.

The most important component of a magic show is the audience. Amazing how some "magicians" failed to realized this simple fact. We're performing for our audience.

I find it irritating to see the shift of magic towards the skill oriented performance. I'm not saying that magician should perform kiddy effects, but the skill should seem effortless.

There is no magic in seeing someone doing something obviously require "hours and hours locked inside your room eventhough you're not autistic"

The branch of stage magic I'm talking about, is called Manipulation Magic. I enjoy watching good manipulation, but sad there isn't many in the part of the world I'm living in.

My favourite piece of manipulation act by master magician Lance Burton.

It's not just about the trick. Its the look, the poise,the elegance and the connection with the audience.

Most manipulation magician stereotype you might be familiar with would be a super ugly tuxedu, lame classical music, and the magician pulling umbrellas, silks, canes and birds out from seemingly the thin air.

I like to call this magic masturbation, because the magician is the only person truly enjoying the show, there is no interaction, and no effort in pleasing the other party.

I eat magic breath magic shit magic live magic, and spend most of my time practicing or watching magic performances online when I'm on studying.I love magic, but I still cant finish watching most manipulation act without skipping.

Here is a clip i dicovered in the morning.

Beautiful act, beautiful girl. I did not start skipping until 4min30sec.

Awesome theme, good music, smooth movement.

Admire her passion.

Today is my mentor's birthday. I've experienced so much after I first met him more than 3 years ago.

The Magic Annexe Press conference. LOL I looked like a kid back then.

He gave me my first show, helped me to construct my 1st strolling repertoire, taught me how to speak and walk like a performer.

Because of him, I get to learn about stage productions, lighting, sound, marketing and had experienced working for international performers. (I even get to interact with my idol in person!!! SHOOT!)

I've learnt more than just performing art from him. He taught me about responsibility, punctuality, humour, respect, passion, and most importantly how to be a person, a likable one. (This I'm still learning. ^^ )

I'm grateful of the hours you spent coaching me. I hope I've matured.

Thank you Roy. Happy birthday.

Birthday was awesome, surprise party, had 4 cakes and presents.

To me, birthday is the day for me to appreciate what my parents, brothers and friends have done for me.

Thank you.

Earth hour, I love Jenjen's post in his blog.

Met Tony Hassini yesterday. He is the founder of International Magician Society, the Magic club with the most members according to Guinness World Record. He is 67 yrs old but he looked much younger. He said as long as he involves in magic, he can always be like a kid.

That pretty much explains the childlike streak in me too. LOLx

Learnt so much from him.

You don't heal a broken heart by pretending it's not broken. Deceiving self is no different than mental masturbation.

Hey readers see the links on your right? Those are ads from google. I know you don't have the habbit to click on ads. I don't click on ads, not until recently when those ads appear on the side of my blog. Then I accidentally clicked on it, and found something really interesting.

Let me share one story that I found on one of the links by google ads.

The Price of Raising Kids

Submitted by maryjo garascia

This is just too good not to pass on to all.

Here is something absolutely positive for a change. I have repeatedly seen the breakdown of the cost of raising achild, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice.

The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for amiddle income family.

Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition. But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down.

It translates into:
* $8,896.66 a year,
* $741.38 a month,
* $171.08 a week.
* A mere $24.24 a day!
* Just over a dollar an hour.

Still, you might think the best financial advice is; don't have children if you want to be 'rich.'Actually, it is just the opposite. What do you get for your $160,140.00?

* Naming rights . First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs..
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites.
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.

For $160,140.00, you never have to grow up. You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs,
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.

You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watch Saturday morning cartoons,
* go to Disney movies, and
* wish on stars.

You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers underrefrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodlewreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day .

For a mere $24.24 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck.

You get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool ,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and
* coaching a baseball team that never wins but alwaysgets treated to ice cream regardless.

You get a front row seat in history to witness the:
* First step,
* First word,
* First bra,
* First date,
* First time behind the wheel.

You get to be immortal. You get another branch added toyour family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list oflimbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren.

You get an education in psychology, nursing,criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality thatno college can match..

In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God.You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away themonsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police aslumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love withoutcounting the cost.

That is quite a deal for the price! Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren &great-grandchildren! It's the best investmentyou'll ever make!

How sweet!!! So ads are actually fun to read. =3

From Alternative Medicine to Medicine

2009-03-16T07:49:00.001-07:00

Alternative Medicine, is defined by Richard Dawkin in A Devil's Chaplain (US edition, pg 180) as "Set of practices which cannot be tested, refuse to be tested or consistently fail tests" . He also states that there is no "alternative" test for "alternative medicine", and I strongly agree with him because "there is only medicine that works and medicine that doesn't work." If a therapy is anything more than a placebo, properly conducted double blind trials, statistically analysed, will eventually bring it through with flying colours.

Like I've mentioned before, I do not believe in claims without scientific evidence, but I do not deny the possible therapeutic efficacy of alternative medicine.

I agree there is a need to study alternative medicine, but using scientific approach.

When the is a claim of an effective therapy, to truly benefit from it, we need to conduct proper scientific tests; the quacks should be discarded, and on the other hand if it is proven to be effective, it could be incorporated into western medicine.

Why do certain forms of alternative medicine refuse to be tested? Some had failed the test, and they know the consequences of failing scientific trials. People would lose faith, and the practitioner will not be able to victimize anymore gullible "open minded" public.

On the other hand, when scientifically studied, any discovery of positive result will be truly beneficial. One example that I'd like to share with you is the story of an anti-malaria drug, Artemisinin.

Artemisinin(Chinese name Qinghaosu) is extracted from annual wormwood, and has been used for over two thousand years by the Chinese. The story started in 1967, Mao Tse-Tung’s government ordered a systematic examination of the traditional Chinese herbal pharmacopoeia that led to the isolation of the compound qinghaosu, or Artemisinin in 1972, by researcher Tu Youyou.

In 1969, TuYouyou traveled all over China to visit experience TCM practitioners and came out with a list of 640 Herbs for her research. At the initial stage, Qinghao wasnt the most effective. She continued her research, and learnt the correct method of extracting Qinghao in "肘后备急方·治寒热诸疟方" (translated as Handy Therapies for Emergencies) by Ge Hong:-

"Take a bunch of qinghao and two sheng of water for soaking it, wring it out to obtain the juice and ingest it in its entirety"

In October 1971, TuYouyou discovered that the extracted product's effectiveness against Malaria is proven to be close to 100%, and the extracted product from Qinghao is named Qinghaosu after their clinical trial in Yu Nan, China.

After extensive scientifis researches and clinical trials, the therapeutic efficacy of Qinghaosu is proven with significant amount of evidence. In 1982, G. Schmid and W. Hofheinz published a paper showing the complete synthesis of artemisinin. This new therapeutic class of anti-Malaria drug has three characteristic, as stated by Keith Arnold, the first western scientist to publish a scientific research paper on Qinghaosu, in August 1982.

First, they have a rapid action in killing asexual P. falciparum at all stages of development

Second,they are sate — no clinically important adverse effects have been encountered.

Third, they do not appear to provoke the emergence of resistant strains. These properties present malariologists with exciting challenges for research and clinical application.

Keith Arnold's research paper is available here

A new drug was discovered, because alternative medicine was studied scientifically, by evidence based approach. Randomized trials were carried out, the chemical configuration was discovered, it was then artificially synthesized to prove its proposed chemical configuration.

Imagine how beneficial it would be if all alternative medicine are tested. We can then genuinely reap the harvest of our ancestors effort. There is a need to differentiate the quacks from effective treatment, if not that will be a real insult to those who've worked hard.

"If a healing technique is demonstrated to have curative properties in properly controlled double-blind trials, it ceases to be alternative. It simply becomes medicine."

First of all thank you soiyuchi tanaka and Sam Lee for your constructive criticism. I'd love to have a discussion with both of you, if possible. :)

Hey guys I discovered something which I find mildly amusing.

I learnt about it today morning but my voyeurish urge to see what other tricks he had up his sleeves prevented me from exposing this.

Luckily I didnt, because it just got a lot more entertaining.

Take a look at the I.P (internet protocol)

OMG medicine, heritage, fOck ass,UM PhD and*respect* HAS THE SAME I.P.!!!!!

So Who The Hello Kitty is this guy?

He is a medical student from china, a non medical student in Malaysia, a vulgar childish individual and a UM PhD at the SAME TIME!!!!!+++ update he is now a superhero too, The Punisher.

Man have you been visiting the psychiatrist lately, I suspect you have a serious problem of dissociative identity disorder, man this is creeping me out.

Same thing goes to "kcl,kk, 1335,miki,happy" with the same I.P and "yaya,00,11". LOLz So I have 3 person who is strongly against me.

BTW for those who are backing me up, they have one unique ID per I.P. Most are strangers, some are dear friends. I appreciate it.

My view on Alternative medicine

2009-03-14T12:41:00.000-07:00

I sincerely apologize on my previous post. Just realized how rude and inconsiderate I was to have posted that, I'm still learning. It was my immaturity to be blamed.

I do not think that alternative medicine is ineffective. According to statistical evidence they are proven to be effective, but how is the therapeutic effect achieved is questionable.

Why do I not believe in alternative medicine?

I believe in evidence-based approach, and in my humble opinion I thought it is the correct way to learn science. I thought the progression of medical science till today relied on scientific evidence approach.

I do not believe in alternative medicine because there is insufficient evidence to support either their treatment or diagnosis.

I do not deny the fact that alternative medicine might work, but I do not believe in it. To believe in something, I need scientific evidence.

Alternative medicine, even if it doesn't work the way they claim, the patients could be cured by placebo, Since the patient can be cured, why not just rid them of the unwanted side- effects resulting from western medicine?

I do not agree with medical doctors giving treatments merely for the placebo. I had a dilemma with this issue since several years ago.

It doesn't really matter if it is the case of mild flu or terminally ill patients. For the case of mild diseases they will heal eventually and the terminally ill patients might get more help from alternative medication when western medication fails.

However, for the early stages of cancer, the delay of treatment would be a difference of life and death.

The use of drugs for placebo in my opinion is a transgression back to the era of superstitions when the diseases are cured only by placebo, and when the life expectancy was half of what it is today.

Son of ***** shut up already, what harm have they caused?

I think alternative medicine is dangerous for three main reasons.

1. The failure to diagnose a disease. Not all of them are trained to the competency of a western medical professional, therefore might not be competent enough to diagnose accurately, let alone treating it.

2. The contraindications. Certain alternative medicine practitioners use herbs which might interfere with the drugs we're giving. Most patient do not inform their doctors of their visit to alternative medicine.

3. Evidence. There is no sufficient evidence to prove their efficacy. You know how "close-minded" I am towards non-evidence based approach right. LOLx

I solemnly and optimistically believe that Western medical professionals can achieve the same degree of placebo as faith healers or other snake-oil science. What is required is empathy, concern and care for the patient.

Please do not get me wrong. The event itself was very helpful for all the participants, I have truly benefited a lot from it.

I would appreciate comments on your views on alternative medicine.

Once again I apologize for my inappropriate action.

Thank you.

风

2009-03-01T07:07:00.000-08:00

就你一个
矗立着
根
让你不为所动

傲慢的看
不曾被谁捉住的我

拥抱
只是轻轻掠过

温柔
却像刀刃划过

怎样拥抱如斯空虚？

为何温柔
会像我吹落枫叶般

疾

在你心里
从不见在你身上
留下一道道鲜红色的

借据

好证明我拿走了几片叶

我的错。

谁让我像那风。风只有风向，却永远都没有终点。
能吹走的，就只有你我都渴望的自由。
风会继续吹，树只能停留在原地。被吹走的叶不是永恒厮守的证明；会有一天被遗弃在记忆最迷蒙的某处。
过去的，我拿走的，想还你的，曾经的，遗忘了的，还不了的

对不起。

Dr.S, virgins, Atheism and Randomness

2009-02-19T23:01:00.000-08:00

Let me share some really interesting quotes from my favourite lecturer, Dr. S

"Human beings are called Homo Sapien, and 'Sapien' means intelligent, but I do not see any intelligent in what human are doing."

"What is the most commonly wasted resource?" "Time. Time is always ruthlessly wasted."

"When you're seeing a HIV+ patient, you can't behave like, 'Hey you're HIV+ and you deserved it. Go and suffer.' You should be empathy regardless of your personal principle."

"Failing your formative assessment is just like a transient ischaemic attack. You thought you can wait, by the time you got stroke it is already too late."

and the most classic one, "If you don't work hard, you're currently laying a foundation for your failure in the future."

Never failed to inspire me. >_<

Encore

"Do you know why not everybody is successful? All of you have the desire to be great but there is no motivation. Success comes when motivation exceeds your desire."

o_O

I will start rambling. If you're easily offended please do not proceed. If you have the patience and the time to spare, you can choose to read on.

Then you will get to know more about me.

Virginity

I am a virgin.

I define virginity as "the state of an individual before he/she commits sexual intercourse(which includes oral-penal, oral-vaginal- penal-anal, penal vaginal sex)"

As a matter of fact I do not see virginity as a state exclusive for the non-attractive. Being a virgin for almost 2 decades, I am proud of myself. To me it is a proof of self-restrain and responsibility. Qualities so rare to find these days.

I am 100% against pre-maritial sex.

My rationale to do thing is very simple, if it is beneficial, I'd do it. I will try not do anything harmful or destructive to my life.

Committing sexual intercourse might seemed harmless at the first glance. It is actually very damaging. I shall elaborate.

Do you know that doves mate for life?

A male dove will never "sit" on another female after it is mated. They do not screw around. They are loyal. They actually will go through a depression phase if their partner deceased, and might, even though extremely unlikely, find a new mate.

My two premises are:-

1. Human beings mate for life. We need just one life partner.

2. We benefit from a stable relationship.

I solemnly understood that according to sociological studies, in the past starting from the cavemen era, males are not restricted to a single partner. The strongest and most attractive male, the "alpha male" gets multiple partners to ensure the good genes are inherited.

However, I naively assume that our species has progressed. We now have a set of rules called "moral" which governs our behaviour. We do what is best for society. If the "alpha male" gets multiple partners, he can not be focus to provide his off springs with what is required to survive in our competitive world.The off springs might not be able to survive at all. The world has changed.

Of course that is just my humble postulation which is very likely to be wrong.

heck this is my blog I write what I think is right.

So if the world is too competitive for the kids to survive when the father has multiple partners, single partner has its advantage, and it is the "norm" in the part of world I lived in.

It is not as simple as just making sure your genes get passed down. A stable relationship ensures emotional attachment which accompanies higher degree of satisfaction in life.

my third premise:-

Trust, responsibility and loyalty is essential in sustaining a relationship.

Fourth premise:-

PreMartial sex reduces trust in a relationship. The man becomes irresponsible and it shows the lack of loyalty.

looking at premise number 3 and 4

Premaritial sex is damaging to a relationship

premise 1,2

Human beings mate for life and benefit from stable relationship

Conclusion:-

If human beings benefit from stable relationship, premaritial sex is damaging to our life.

I will only allow myself to marry a virgin.

If you committed premaritial sex, who knows if your dream girl/guy is like me, only accept virgins as life partner, you will miss him/her for the rest of your life.

For those who're still virgins, good luck saving it until you are married.

For those who aren't I am not as forgiving as the Christian God and I do not believe in second chance. Bear the consequences of the action, live your life.

Atheism

Some might be curious why a self-proclaim atheist like myself attends church events, visit temples and worship ancestors.

I know what I am talking about. I am not agnostic. I am an atheist.

I do not want to bore with my lengthy story of how did I became an atheist, instead I've decided to tell you something even more boring. Evil me.

I want to tell you how I see religion.

I like religions. I think having a strong faith is a good thing.

Living is such a wonderful experience, and how great will it be if we can live eternally.

Death is inevitable. Religion somehow bypasses our fear for death. One with strong faith is not afraid of dying, for they believe that even if they have died, their spirit live on.

Death separates us from our love one forever. Religion bypasses that sorrow. By believing that their spirit will live on eternally, we do not feel as miserable.

The benefit of faith goes way beyond emotional level. It contributes to one's well-being morally and physically too.

Religion sets the border for good and evil. Good religion teaches people good things, helps the society to progress.

I have a firm stand against pre-maritial sex thanks to my exposure to Christianity.

Placebo effect helps those with strong faith. People can be miraculously healed from terminal illnesses. As you can see, a strong faith is very beneficial to life.

Having said that, I still can't give in and believe in it.

Because I think, if we've lived our life believing in something that does not exist at all, it is kind of pathetic. It is like living my whole life deceiving myself.

There is not sufficient evidence to for me to believe. crap. I want to believe.

It is just like santa claus, tooth fairies and doraemon. We can't deny their existence but we cant prove it either.

My friend asked me to start praying 1st and see if my life will change.

I see a dilemma in it.

The premise of praying is that there is a "God" whom you are "praying to". You must believe in God's existent before one can pray. Because if there is no God, prayer goes to nowhere.

To tell me to pray to God asking him to make be believe in God is an oxymoron. I can't pray when I do not believe in God's existence and when I prayed, it means I've already believed.

As much as I do not want myself to believe in superstitions, some part of me wants to believe.... just like how I wish my grandpa is actually watching over me.

Placebo

Have you heard of the Placebo effect?

here is a good read from my favourite website http://skepdic.com/placebo.html

I am not here to argue whether or not placebo effect exist. I personally believe in it.

Well if bomohs, homeopathy and other alternative medicine works, there must be a scientific explanation for it. I personally find placebo effect convincing enough. LOL.

Let's assume placebo effect is real.

Imagine the scenario, if there is a terminally ill patient suffering from stage IV carcinoma, would you recommend him to visit a doctor or a faith healer?

If he goes to a health care professional, very likely he will be given chemotherapy, radio therapy etc to prolonged his life. The problem is he will suffer.

I will rather that he go to a faith healer. Someone who genuinely cares about him. Someone who will spend the time talking to him, making him feel good and he might be cured by the placebo effect.

I used to be against alternative medicine since most of them are just rubbish. Now I don't really care, as long as the patient is cured.

Well then why aren't the doctors good at creating placebo?

I personally thought it is not impossible for a good caring physician to achieve placebo effect. By merely talking to a good doctor, the patient will actually feel better. If the doctor can confidently tell the patient that stage IV cancer can be cured by self-immune respond with a strong will to
survive, doctors can achieve the same placebo effect as the faith healers.

It just takes a little bit more patience and concern for the patient.

Back to religion, I thought the placebo effect served as a natural selection mechanism which has selected the faithful for our world.

Maybe that is why most of us are vulnerable to superstitious experiences and easily believe in it. We're more likely to be superstitious because it is in our gene, since the faithful lives longer.

Or maybe, there is somebody high up there, installed an antenna inside all of us, trying to make us susceptible to his words and messages.

Think.

I've always wanted to make an impact to those who're around me. I've always wanted to inspire, to help, to change where there is a need to change. I just want to make the world a better place.

Like I said, I always wonder how my life is going to be like if I am not who I am.

My life is just so screwed now, because I've no foundation in almost everything.

Then I recall what was taught in my secondary school years.

My fellow Schoolmates might remember 修身齐家治国平天下. :D

Translation of "The Great Learning" by Confucius on Wikipedia

The ancients who wished to illustrate illustrious virtue throughout the
world, first ordered well their own States.
古之欲明明德於天下者，先治其國
Wishing to order well their States, they first regulated their families.
欲治其國者，先齊其家
Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons.
欲齊其家者，先修其身
Wishing to cultivate their persons, they first rectified their hearts.
欲修其身者，先正其心
Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts.
欲正其心者，先誠其意
Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost of their knowledge.
欲誠其意者，先致其知
Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things.
致知在格物

Things being investigated, knowledge became complete.
物格而後知至
Their knowledge being complete, their thoughts were sincere.
知至而後意誠
Their thoughts being sincere, their hearts were then rectified.
意誠而後心正
Their hearts being rectified, their persons were cultivated.
心正而後身修
Their persons being cultivated, their families were regulated.
身修而後家齊
Their families being regulated, their States were rightly governed.
家齊而後國治
Their States being rightly governed, the entire world was at peace.
國治而後天下平

From the Son of Heaven down to the mass of the people, all must
consider the cultivation of the person the root of everything besides. (...)
自天子以至於庶人，壹是皆以修身為本 (...)

It seems that Confucius thought knowledge is the ultimate solution to my problem. Time to study.

I watched the Beautiful Mind yesterday night and just finished Forrest Gump. Both of them succeeded in life not merely because of luck. They worked hard for it, from scratch.

Sometimes I wonder how my life is going to be if I am a lot more stupid, irrational, irresponsible, ugly, has no talents and a hell lot more humble.

Life is so simple for most people. They go to school they can fuck their studies, fuck their classmate, make her pregnant, marry her and work as a hawker in pasar malam and fucked their whole life.

For others, they can be mediocre in studies, mediocre at getting chicks, and live a life that nobody cares.

Mine is a lot more fucked up.

I know I asked for it and it is pretty pointless bitching over this now.

There is only so much I can do, perhaps I am not as capable as I thought.

I need to give up some of the things I am holding dear in order to move on.

I remember a professor once said, this path that I have chosen is all about sacrificing and prioritizing.

Good bye commitments, good bye responsibilities, good bye fame,

good bye my girl.

During our PBL session, our class rep Steven carelessly gave the wrong answer to several questions.

Dr. TinTun describe the situation as "oral incontinence". (diarrhoea from mouth)

"If you continue to behave this way" Dr. was telling us, "There will be four possible outcomes"

"1) Your patient will die, 2) You will die, 3) you will be jailed, 4) You will end up selling things in the Pasar Malam"

Then one wrong answer from Steven turned out to be fatal

"What is the colour of serum?"

"White"

Dr. shook his head, then stare at Steven for approximately 10 secs and ask us, "Do you have the courage to draw blood from him, let's check if his serum is white."

Unexpected, but highly anticipated.

*I was so excited that I felt like it is as if my dream girl come to my house and walks into my room.*

"You, go and take a syringe and a few test tubes from Mr. Foo, we will do the experiment."

*oh it's like my dream girl saying she wants to sleep with me*

I ran to the Mr.Foo's office, to my disappointment he is not in.

I desperately searched the clinical unit but I couldn't find him.

*now it's like I don't have a condom and 7/11 is closed. WTF how can 7/11 be closed? Isnt it supposed to be 24 hrs?crap*

Dr. then instructed me to buy a 5mm syringe and we shall draw Steven's blood in our next session.

I cant wait. Damn I am sadistic.

Astrology

2009-01-05T06:42:00.000-08:00

Imagine there is a column in every newspaper and magizine that says thing like this

Daily Racial forecast

Indians - You may not see yourself as a joiner - preferring to do your own thing, but we all need connections to other people and yours can be particularly important throughout 2009. However, the genetic codes in your race suggests that the influential people or institutions that you find to be heavy weather, will need to be handled courteously, whatever the strains.

Chinese - Your place in the world may be under review. If this is not immediately obvious, it will be before long. But even if you choose a change of direction or circumstances dictate a new start, in the fullness of time this can be exactly what you need. Why? Because potentially, you’ve been hiding your talents under the bushel and now it's time to reach for gold.

Germans - You might be just at the start of a prolonged phase of wanting to improve your status and letting people see that there is more to you than they may think. Today, there is this feeling of wanting to be seen and heard and not be ignored. You could make your presence felt quite forcefully, so it might be better to do this in a constructive manner

.....

and readings for other 9 different races.

It is ridiculous generalizations which makes no logical sense and extremely offensive.

Oh fuck the growing popularity of Astrology.

Quote from Ian Rowland's "full facts book of cold reading" on Astrology readings - These conveyor-belt miracles are cheap, quick, and offer mental nutrition on a par with Donald Duck cartoons.

Just came back from Cameron, with my best buddies from Secondary school.

We arrived at Cameron highland after a 3 hrs journey from Ipoh bus station. The ticket only cost us RM10.30, and the bus departed on time.

On our way there the whole journey we were worryin sick there might be no ATM machine in Cameron. LOLx, such worries are pointless, for we have Wen Jie with us and we can rob the tourists when we run out of cash.

We stayed in an apartment up Berinchang. It is super comfy with 3 rooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room with TV and a dry kitchen.

As soon as we finished settling down, we went for our dinner at a steam boat restaurant.

After our moderately satisfying meal, we head to the night market near our apartment

Something very different from the Pasar Malam in KL, they actually have bees and they sell fresh honey on the spot.

Our Super Supper

The next day morning we have decided to visit the "BOH" Tea Farm. The cab driver told us the traffic is quite mess up on the way up and suggest us to hike up the hill. We were told that it's approximately 2KM away.

Yea right.

Here is Alex Climbing the hill

2KM MY ASS

Perhaps the driver misunderstood my question, I was asking for the distance, not the displacement.

Half way up the hill, it starts to drizzle.

Xian Yong tries to ease our anxieties by telling us that rain on Cameron is not going to be heavy.

Holy the rain starts to get heavier.

Wen Jie getting pissed “谁讲 Cameron下的雨不会很大，我要打人了”

It turns into a freaking downpour upon our arrival on top of the hill.

There is this dude is a car on their way down hill shouting at us " Long way to go, Darling!! "

Oh Fuck

Just came back from Pan Global EITP Christmas Celebration show.

Tired

Maybe I should start getting used to sharing prep room with female dancers.

Jeff the mentalist was also a performer that evening. Guys you can check out his webbie under my links. He is good.

What have I been doin

2008-12-21T08:10:00.000-08:00

Last Thursday I had a show at Le Meridien Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. I was told there is going to be 50 audiences, and so I thought it is a small show.

I couldn't be more wrong. It was IBM and Silverhorn's Customer Appreciation night. There were representatives and guest speaker of IBM, and also representative from HCBC, OCBC, and EPF.

The big boss of most of the local banks were there. Crazy production with only VIPs and VVIPs in the crowd.

I was told that I'd have my own room, but at the end I need to share the changing room with two girls. Kinda crappy for big productions like this, heck, it's fun. :)

Highlight of the day.

One guy asked me if I can make his mate disappear.

"I can't make him disappear, but if he wants to join the party, he'd need his ID tag."

Then I pulled out his ID tag from my pocket. Killer reactions, that's why I love pickpocketing.

Tried some pseudo mind reading stuffs by applying my knowledge on NLP and psychology. Worked well too.

Had a blast. If I am as good as my last show, I am so damn fucking godlike now. LOLx

Didn't expect holiday to be this exhausting. Kinda productive, learned new skills.
Cleaned up my room, everything is in order, ready to face more challenges.

Reading a book by Dick Taverne, The March of Unreason. I like the author, he is a scientific skeptic too. ;)

Tomorrow sem 2 starts.

Sort of miss her.

Talked to my SG bro Lohser yesterday. Had a discussion on Cat & Dog Theology. Interesting stuff, applies to BGR too. I'd grab that book and read more about it soon.

Imagine you have a cat and a dog. You treat both of them equally nice, give them everything they asked for.

Even though they were treated equally, their perception on the situation differs.

Dog thinks: "He is so nice to me. He must be God."

Cat thinks: "He is so nice to me. I must be God."

Girl if I am being nice to you, it doesn't mean you are a goddess.

You're just lucky. Very lucky.

Test Anxiety

2008-11-23T00:57:00.000-08:00

Experiencing test anxiety for the very first time in my life. I've always adopted a "heck-care" attitude towards my studies, now I am trying to change.

Here is a paragraph from a Chinese novel that I've been working on

有太多的她与我擦肩而过。

她，为我流泪

她，等着我，等着一个不值得她等的男人

还有她，在考试的前一晚为我准备爱心餐，放在门外，只因为我说考试前不想见面。

记得她，问我有没有爱过她

有人说过，如果喜欢，就别让她为你受伤害。

我曾说过，就算没有天长地久，至少有过快乐的回忆。

我曾自私，无知的那么说。

因为我才知道，爱，不是那么的简单

我不相信缘分。

因为爱，不是看命运残忍的将两个不同世界的人绑在一起，让两颗孤单的心互相慰藉；爱，不因该是如此而已。

又画下一个句点，完整的“圈”围着的，是颗被我跌碎了的心。

Guys (and Girls) thank you for helping me with both my Johari and Nohari window. The reason behind all these is that I am back to the basics for my magic. I realized there is something wrong with my on stage character, which was described as "obnoxious" by my mentor during one of the previous club meetings some time ago after several slightly insulting(& slightly vulgar) remarks on the volunteer.

A few months ago I was extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to direct my question to the world's leading pickpocket entertainer, Apollo Robbins in an online forum.

Hi KenophLai,

Q:In your opinion, how can one presents a pickpocketing routine returning the goods without appear to be arrogant?

Often a lot of magicians can seem to adopt a look-at-what-I-can-do-and-you-can't attitude.
That is magnified when they try their hand at pickpocketing. I feel it is essential to remember the pickpocket is supposed to be the "gentleman thief"... not boastful and arrogant.

Just because you steal an item doesn't mean you have to just return it. There are many other possibilities... be creative.

~Apollo

Oh crap I AM BOTH BOASTFUL & ARROGANT.

Thank you guys for telling me that. I KNOW IT'S SO BLOODY OBVIOUS IT'S AMAZING I NEED REMINDERS to know that I am boastful, arrogant and vulgar (+ self centered+ Irritating + disorganized + inconsiderate+...).

Guys I am growing up. I want to change. I mentioned somewhere that the process of maturation can be agonizingly long, please bear with me. I really appreciate your tolerance. Sometimes I cant even stand myself. LOL

Once again, thank you my friend. Love you all.

Kenoph Lai

Now it's fun

Dr. Opa is such a character. He looks like a character. Straight out from south park.

I have got no idea how we digress our topic so far.

Partly because I was not paying attention.

"If you want to live longer, you need to pay attention in this class. Health care officers live longer, and if you are working for WHO, you earn dollars."

whoa. Don't let Prof. TT hear you say that.

"You don't know what is physical environment? Hey that's secondary school science. Your cerebral ..err...the memory part of your brain is not working... I am forgetting my anatomy."

Now you know how we forgot the components of physical environment.

"Family medicine focus on the needs of children and women. However, men die earlier than women. Now this is sexual discrimination against male."

whoa. Controversial issue.

"Children nowadays go to school really early. Look at those kids, they are like 2 years old, they should be sucking breast!"

whoa. THAT WAS VULGAR. South park vulgar.

"Women, raise your hand, let me see you, good. Your breasts are meant for your children, not your boy friend."

whoa. ALMOST EXPLICIT.

"Breast feeding is good. There are 13 benefits of breast feeding, and WHO recommend at least 18 months of breast feeding."

Doctor, I know this topic is exciting, but this lecture is on community medicine...

" Breast feeding generates a bond between mother and the child. If you hate your mother, that is probably because she did not breast feed you."

Doctor, the lecture...

" Some of you look like cow. Because when you were young you drink cow milk, pig milk..."

... the lecture.

" Some of you are more intelligent. Thank your mother for that."

SO MY DEAR READERS, LET ME PRESENT TO YOU THE NEW MIRACLE DRINK: THE BREAST MILK!!!

Man I got to get some of those to boost my intelligent. End of semester exam is coming.

Look at what I've found
