Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger is dead

Uncategorized

TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY.

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding that prescription pills were found near his body.

According to NYPD a masseuse arrived at Ledger’s apartment and was let in by a housekeeper. When Ledger didn’t answer his bedroom door, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened it and found him unconscious. They attempted to wake him; when they couldn’t, they called 911.

We’re told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Steve Jobs’ 90 minute MacBook Air keynote in 60 seconds

Uncategorized

Steve Jobs does get kinda longwinded at times. If not for the cool products Apple is to introduce, the audience would have left. Veronica summarizes the Steve Jobs 90 minute keynotes into 60 seconds and has everything you want to know - the Apple MacBook Air.

Steve Jobs Macworld 2008 Keynote in 60 Seconds

Yeah, actually that’s the only interesting thing in MacWorld in my opinion. The rest are kinda like the usual upgrades. Nothing really special.

I do love it when Apple really push technology and design to its limits. Love the look of MacBook Air and I can imagine a lot more competition coming up, all fighting to make mobile computing more mobile. MacBook Air is everything good except for its price.

Some Windows Live Messenger personal messages

Uncategorized

I was looking at some of my friend’s Windows Live Messenger personal messages. Most people have all those inspiring quotation said by God-knows-who. It really doesn’t matter, it beats putting lame shit like some long Chinese lyrics that is so long and got cut due to Live Messenger’s character limit. And I can’t even understand half of what the Chinese quotation is about, it probably is a song, probably is a senseless lament about love. Matters little.

Some friends come and go, only true friends leave footprint etched deeply into the heart. Thanks for being one!

Nicely said.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca that I don’t quite agree on. True luck is when opportunity comes without preparation. Hahaa…

FRIENDS: 2 (maybe +1) | CLOSE FRIENDS: 3 , identifying in process… am i such a failure in life or is it the world???

Erm… Okay, kinda strange. Let’s see some others.

Spending an inordinate amount of time romancing the impossible.

Okay.

“Silence can be a expression of love” - Chika Umino, Honey and Clover season 2, epsiode 2.

The above personal message actually has a citation longer than its quotation. It’s almost like Harvard referencing style. Where is the year dude?

“Love doesn’t make the world go round, Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” - Franklin P. Jones

Ridzuan has this. I stole the quote from him. And he, erm, borrowed it from someone.

“We know accurately only when we know little. With knowledge, doubt increases.” - Goethe

That’s my previous personal message before I stole Ridzuan’s.

Louis Vuitton advertisement campaign in Japan

Uncategorized

An ad campaign for LOUIS VUITTON by Mamoru Hosoda (of Digimon fame). an updated alice in wonderland, in which a girl, searching for her lost cell phone, floats in a dizzying world of the company’s logos. While waiting to meet her friends outside of a Louis Vuitton store, Aya’s cell phone is eaten by the LV Panda, who then promptly swallows Aya - but the inside of his stomach is gateway to a psychadelic wonderland. Based on characters created by famed superflat artist Takashi Murakami.

The song featured in this movie: Fantastic Plastic Machine - “Different Colors”. Takashi Murakami has featured his artwork along with Louis Vuitton’s collaborated products at MOCA, Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art.

Completion of assignment without an ’s’ and discussions in school

Uncategorized

Finally I finished one assignment. It sure took long to launch Microsoft Word and start typing the answers. I hate having to type and type things I consider to be quite “common sense”. I finished it quite quickly surprisingly, I was expecting myself to take much longer.

Lessons at school are kinda ending already. Made me a little happier, a little worried too. It only means examinations are coming and I am not good in examinations somehow.

School’s been interesting. I enrolled into university into a course I pretty much expect myself to be alone. I didn’t know anybody who would join the university and didn’t expect to make friends much either. Before course commencement, I was still feeling pretty down that life’s going to be boring and routine.

Even when school starts, things didn’t start off too well also. I had a hard time grasping business and mathematics concept. Things are starting to get better and discussions with my clique helped a lot. I start having this feeling that discussions would eventually be stopped. Seems like not much people is really contributing to discussions.

Discussions require contribution and sometimes the contribution level falls so low that it is like a kindergarten teacher leading a class of 4. I watch the discussions die off a couple of times making no attempt to save it. Sometimes I tried to, sometimes I just don’t. Some things I note are:

  1. If one person is teaching and receives little to no feedback during a discussions, he or she quits contributing. One person talking by himself or herself for fifteen minutes is not a good discussion.
  2. Some people try to continue the discussion by asking more question. That typically fails after a while…
  3. There are times contributions are disruptive. When one person understand the discussion and the other person doesn’t, the discussion doesn’t go on. Instead it gets stuck at one point where explanations just keep getting repeated and I had to visit the water cooler twice to excuse myself to keep awake.
  4. Unproductive discussion often result when any one of the participants is feeling sleepy or joining in late. Feel sleepy then quit the discussion and go somewhere else, better than killing the discussion by asking for repeats.
  5. Might be helpful for discussions to have a participant that would take up a moderator role.

Anyway… I doubt that our discussions would continue due to certain issues. I just have a feeling that it probably won’t happen again.
