this is quite a famous one.. what do you see in this picture?
a face or a woman?
how many faces do you see??
how many black dots do you see??
where is the top?
are the lines parallel?
how do the water flow?
move your eyes slowly toward the dot in the middle

and do you know..?
WHAT IS THEMOSTOFTEN ILLUSION I SEE ???
this word..
as every time i see it, i see question marks dancing around it ..
all of us once had experienced our childhood before. it's the time we did all of childish things and the most importantly, it is the time we spend more with our parents if compared to now. well, what if we change the situation where both our parents are not there. think about it...
last sunday, my friends and i went to the orphanage house, Praise Girls Home in Ipoh to complete our Moral Studies project. the main objective for the project is to express our CARE to the society. so we decided to spend some of our time with the orphanages and see what will turn out.
all of us have never been there before. thus, everything has been like last minutes. but thanks to some of our friends who are willing to guide us. feeling a bit doubt about the trip... we still went on that day.
during the visit, most of the things eventually turned out quite good actually. we were well greeted by the children there upon our arrival. then, we began the activities with them.
first, we sang song... only able to sang a song as our guitars were immediately snatched by them as they are too excited to see the guitars and wish to try to play by their own. so in the end, we change from singing songs to teaching them some tips on guitars. haha.
besides, doing paper folding also... some quizzes for simple maths... eating.. and some fellowships with them...
the butterfly that i made~~
during that day also, there are another things thats very popular among the kids... guess what~~?
HANDPHONE !!!
CAMERA !!!
serious!
at that time, all of our hand phones and camera were being robbed within a few seconds. they started to play every games in the hand phones and took hundreds of pictures using our cameras. in the end, the main activities of the day became playing handphone games and pictures taking .... by them~ haha.
yes... peace little micheal~~(nice pose!)
this phenomenon strongly proved that children nowadays are very into technologies. next time, i guess that u wont see your kids running around, playing polices and thief anymore but racing Ferrari in front of the pc. :)
next time, can bring laptop instead and teach them dota~ haha~ (siao)
so, overall, the trip was very fruitful and enjoyable. i can see that although their lives have no support from parents, they are still happy and cheerful like most of us. i think we all should learn from them also.. and i wont mind if we go to visit them again in the future.
:P

well, as i read through the newspaper online, i found out this interesting article.. it is about the anti-piracy movement for software in malaysia.
hmm.. what?!
BSA ( Business Software Alliance) goes on Youtube to look for 'superheroes' ???
ok.. in short, Antipiracy watchdog, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) has just put up a video on YouTube, which urges the public to become “superheroes” by reporting businesses that use illegal copies of software.
and guess what, the production of the merely one minute video which called "Superhero Fighting Software Piracy"cost them about USD 25000 (rm 90000) !!
quite surprised for it.. plus this is MALAYSIA.. the heaven for pirated things. from DVD to clothes and to all sort of things. do you think that the video will cause much effects to this phenomenon ? kinda like another waste of money.
the video ok lar~~ a bit funny.. to those who want to watch the video, this is it..
there are a lot of people who still confuse about the type of alcohol beverages. when they drink, they dont even know what they are drinking. some dont even care ... at long as it make you feel good, right? :P

well, in this post, i would like to share some information about it.
rum
rum is distilled beverage made from sugarcane by- product such as molasses and sugarcane juice by process of fermentation and distillation. then the distillate is usually aged in oak and other barrels.
rum is actually clear in colour but become brown or golden after it has been stored in oak barrel.
light rums are commonly used in cocktails while golden and dark rums are usually drink straight or for cooking. premium rums are also available that made to be consumed straight or with ice. some of the rums can be flavored, too.
the alcohol content for it is usually 40 % to 80%...
wine
wine is made of fermented grape juice. unlike others fruit, the natural chemical balance of grapes can make them ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients.
grape wine
wine can also be produced by others fruits such as apples and berries. but normally it will be named after the fruits such as apple wine and others.
the alcohol content of wine is less than rum which is around 9% to 18 %. higher than beer but lower than brandy.
brandy
brandy is a spirit which produces by distilling wine. the wine is first produced by fermenting grapes the into brandy. nowadays, some brandies are aged in wooden casks, but some are coloured with caramel colouring to produce the effect of aging.
brandy contain much higher alcohol contain than wine although both are produced by grapes juice. it is usually around 36% to 60 % .

beer
it is the most common and the oldest alcohol beverage in the world. it is the world's third popular drink after tea and water. :) beer mostly are made from wheat, barley and other starch sources.

there are three types of beer which are ale, lager and stout. ok, basically ale and lager taste about the same. they are just differ in the making process. ale uses top fermenting yeast and produced in warm temperature ( 15C to 24C) while lager uses bottom fermenting yeast and produced in cold temperature ( less than 12C )
stout
stout is actually a type of ale but uses roasted malts and barley as its ingredients. thats why it is black in colour!
