Raindrops...

 

The sky was gray.
When I woke up and got out of the bed..
My mind was like a carnival ride..
I walked out into the balcony..
Saw the rain pouring down fast..
I gazed upon the clouds above and told the rain
to kiss you and to beat upon your head with silver liquid drops..
and when the rain ends..
Let the rainbow shroud the sky and smile at you..

Dedicated for a Special Someone.. *winks*

Giant Heavy Chocolates!

698360215_9bcdd9541f 

*Blinks*

Yes, when I heard about it, I thought how big?! Well, lets say size does matter in this case. The bar weighs in at 10 massive, table-bending pounds and measures over a foot and a half long, nearly a foot tall, and 2-inches thick. whoa, that's like calling in the heavy artillery!

Best part, its made with supa dupa premium chocolate from San Francisco's world-renowned Guittard Chocolate company. For those who do not know about them, This 137-year-old company has made world known chocolate for our sweet tooth's. Check those wrappers and you will see. *winks*

You might think its not affordable because of the size. Fear not, this bar just costs $6.49 per pound. which is relatively cheaper compared to some chocolates which have a higher price tag!

Equation : Big Chocolate + Small Price = Happy Me!

*Lol*

The flavors are:

French Vanilla Semi-Sweet Dark (Ooh La La)

Old Dutch Milk (Swiss Style)

Gourmet Bittersweet (Reminds me of someone)

High Sierra White (Winter Treat?!)

So my dear chocolate aficionados out there, grab this when you get a chance and have wonderful adventure in upscale self-indulgence...

If you get the order done, Hear your family say:

OH MY GOD! ITS BIG!

Lets get Pathogenic!

Ah, after a hiatus its time to hit the blogs once again.Sigh, been so busy with life that it swallowed my passion for blogging. well not anymore.

Thanks to a certain person known as miss fuzz a lot, I got back to my dusty posts. ha ha,cheers to the femme fatale.

Days have been going in a normal pace, nothing extra-ordinary occurring. lol. Hmm I wish I could tweak my ipod though. My life line device of the year. lol

Now learning about food pathogens since I have the joined the biotechnology stream. cause of illness, incubation period, symptoms and steps to prevent them from contaminating your own good body is what we need to know for starters. heck I think we need to be living libraries to store all that data. Today,all I did was look at pictures and think of funny comments based on what these micro pathogens were doing.

some examples which I got from my textbook are:

Red Bacterium:

Honey,Your so good! Do it faster! Transfer me all your DNA, I feel so Horny!

Yellow Bacterium:

Dude, How did you get so hot?! I want to get your DNA and be Red too! Viva Red Revolution!

Yikes! I got spliced! why did I eat Sushi?! Dang!

Oh my god! I have a Baby!...ermm..wait a sec, Is that my Nucleus (Brain) ?! *Faints*

Nature & The Ashes Series

Well..Its been a while since I blogged...I missed it!.Anyways..Its been a hectic week for me...

So I'll just jump back to the hard hitting news...Cricket!
Hope some people know about this sport...Well if their is one series that has made me excited is the scope for England winning against Australia in the Ashes.(I assure you,this series has some wonderful and complex issues in cricket history).Since 1984..England didn't get a single chance until now in making the score for a tie,then again having a lead of 2-1.It was an Epic win for England..But there is still another test match left..which is next week.If Australia levels the series 2-2..all looks dim..but I know sooner than later the new Kings will be the English chaps.

Here are the results so far in the Ashes Test Series(2005)

21-25 1st Test, Lord's
Australia won by 239 runs



4-8 2nd Test, Edgbaston
England won by two runs



11-15 3rd Test, Old Trafford
Match drawn



25-29 4th Test, Trent Bridge
England won by three wickets



Well Mother nature is surely venting her fury on us..I fear this world might be engulfed by more hurricanes and earthquakes soon.For all the victims of hurricane katrina.God bless their souls.
Maybe we deserve all of this..For we have spolit mother nature.
The hurricanes are much stronger these days possibly due to the fact that the global warming has affected the sea temperature..Hurricanes feed on the warm currents and this made it possible for the hurricane to be on the level 5 category..What do you think?


Oh by the way...Here is the fish my aunt brought today..Very fresh!!!

Silence...
























The Sound of Silence


Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence."

Dungeon Siege II


Seeing the title in the game stores made me feel like killing more Orcs for some loot...
Microsoft’s Role-Playing Game Dungeon Siege II the sequel to the best-selling RPG from Gas Powered Games..Finally has made its place in my hard drive..oh sweet game..It’s been a Year since I vanquished the evil that plagued the Land of Ehb, and now…a new menace has awakened.looks like Im going to have a wield a sword & use a dash of magic to destroy my enemies...What made my eyes open was the new character skills and improved AI of those pesky monsters..Items and side quests are more improved..including some rare items..Gaspowered games coporation has also added some cinematics for your viewing plesaure..oh and did I mention the game a mature rating for raw violence & gore..yup..because unlike dungeon siege..this game makes blood more realistic sans the rating.

The drawback for me is though the graphics needs some solid 3d games engine..Its still lacking the punch for those awesome jaw dropping scences I know im missing..oh well time will come...for now what fate will befall the Second Age of Man? The time for judgment is nigh.
Game on!

Taste of Nature's Emerald...

This morning I had one of the most satisfying drinks I have had this past week..Lime..
The quench for thirst left me quite dehydrated..Reaching for the fridge..To my dismay..There was not a bottle of cold water left..My agony grew..Looking around..I saw four pieces of lime on the top of the fridge.
I sliced and diced two of those green orbicular objects.Squeezed the juice out of them..At one moment I thought I was squeezing the life supply of some living being(scary thought..lolz)
After that I added some sugar and mixed it up..grabbed a few ice cubes because it wasn't cold enough and gulped it down..
What I got was one High kick..Lime was quite raw..Woohoo..the whole day looked like a possible timebomb..I was going to explode!The taste as always tingling and made me so refreshed.Somehow I got a few words from my mum..Oops..looks like the lime was placed there to be used for today's lunch..
Still Lime is good for your health..though it really acidic and gives a nasty bitter aftermath taste if taken in a concentrated amount like the way I took it today.
Well to end..Here is a recipe for chicken lovers added with a dash of Lime

INGREDIENTS:

* 3 lbs. of chickens (breasts, legs, thighs, or combination)

Love. Angel. Music. Baby...




















*~Gwen Stefani~*

"Madonnasphere"


Well Im wondering myself why this Post idea cropped up on my head..Listening to her songs and the sudden hype created all over the world..Radio stations playing at least four of her songs daily I think did this to me.

There is a new Queen Diva...From my view..She looks like a mixed up version of Madonna and Marilyn Monroe..


As lead singer and songwriter for Grammy-winners ''No Doubt''(punk rock–ska mish-mash-of-genres-type band)
She soon dismounted from her band.Though I do prefer her to join the bad once again.They had their success in the charts..

In 2004 she finally realsed her debut solo album.''Love. Angel. Music. Baby'' and it is absolute Gwen in every way.Its rebellious, confessional, sexy , playful, funky and emotional..and in some parts rhythmic..This was of course was achieved thanks to artists like Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, Andre 3000, Linda Perry, New Order, Nellee Hooper, Wendy & Lisa, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
With all those elements and different tunes mixed and mashed up.She created an album brimming with her enthusiasm.The songs are quite contagious and yes one of my favs is ''Cool''
where she shows her inner love nature.The song to me is warm and the beats are nice.Well I popped up the lyrics and here it is...

''COOL''

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life...
Passes things get more comfortable
Everything is going right

And after all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long ago
Time always kills the pain

Remember Harbor Boulevard
The dreaming days where the mess was made
Look how all the kids have grown
We have changed but we're still the same
After all that we've been through
I know we're cool

And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're hangin' out with your new
girlfriend
So far from where we've been
I know we're cool

Well if her Debut album is rockin charts all over the world..I can't guess whats in store for her next album..though she might be a whole new madonna for the 21st century.

*My rating for this Album is 3 out of 5

X-MEN 3 Coming soon...
























Okie....I admit it..im just a lovable fan of xmen comic franchise..Got a nice collection of some rare issues..And plus most of the xmen games..
When the movies came out though some the things didn't fall in place as the comics have done nicely.. Let's see..Wolverine should have a face mask..Though Hugh Jackman still made the character alive... Rogue cant fly in the movies...I guess she hasn't stolen Ms marvel's superpowers yet..The costumes are great..Though I really preferred the original blue(yellow) costume of Cyclops. Storm looked good too..Though im not sure if she be there in xmen 3.
Possible synopsis of this lastest movie could be..well anything..20th Century Fox and marvel haven't given a single clue yet...Though some of hype knockin on heaven doors shows that Beast and Juggernaught have finally entered the script..This could be the far coolest xmen movie yet..Plus the return of Phoenix could be in the script. Yup..In the comics, Jean Grey is possessed by an entity that time links with a human being called the Phoenix Force. It basically allowed Jean the power to manipulate reality on a cosmic scale and also heightened her telepathy and telekinesis making her sometime very hard to defeat. Maybe this time its our lovable mutants v/s Sentinels(lumbering, semi-humanoid robots tasked with the apprehension or elimination of mutants). Possibly if Apocalypse ever makes an appearance in the end of the movie..you know whats waiting for xmen 4! Another leak...Angel will too play in the movie...I think..So making it..Wait...5 new characters in this movie!! My fingers are crossed..Hope this movie delivers for ye xmen fan freaks like me ^_^

Oh yes!!..Another movie coming soon... Marvel and Sony pictures are proudly presenting...
  • GHOST RIDER
  • Oooh..This is making my head spin anticlockwise in motion... check the link...And the teaser picture of the bike..
    Finally its great that Stan Lee was born on this planet..3 cheers to him!!

    (This post is dedicated to Uma)

    Ah yes..Another birthday bash...My friends and I went to Al'Ali's Mamak stall(mamak means Food joint in Malaysia).Ok..This whole plan was created by some few masterminds..Not going mention the names though..They know who they are..Hehe...Well Uma had not the faintest idea that there was nice surprise was waiting just for her...A Yummy Chocolate cheese cake..(Thanks to Secret recipe)Though her birthday was over two days ago..Its still going to the most unforgettable belated birthday experience for her....We still wanted to celebrate it with her..
    Okay..The plan was set in motion at a very easy pace..Uma and the rest of us enjoyed the cake,chatted and had a few photos taken..Now the best part added to this was she had classes at college in the noon and well she had no idea of what waited ahead..A few of us went early and got the some special items...''Flour & Eggs"
    Now Uma,with Shahira and Lalija was approaching Shahira's car to go back to college and Uma still had no clue..
    One..
    Two..
    Three..
    Then Lalija and Shahira made Uma kneel down and we launched a massive attack on her..Dousing her with water,flour and finally..Eggs!Uma became so shocked suddenly and well just couldn't run away..The whole fiasco lasted about two minutes or so..The end result..
    Uma looked quite white..Her hair looked like it was snowing in the open..
    Oppsie Daisie..We planned so much that we forgot how to get rid of the mess we created..Her hair became so stiff a few minutes later..She Looked a like cake mixture..Just missing the sugar..Though im sure she is very sweet herself!Uma wasn't going for classes that day..That's for sure..So then after a few discussions..We all headed to Lalija's house to get Uma cleaned up..yep she so needed a few hair showers..Hehe..
    Spending an hour or so in Lali's house..Uma got her much needed shower..Looked pretty and yes Fresh..Well Im sure she really loved this 19th Birthday celebration with Us..
    Cheers To everyone who made her Birthday a Memorable one..

    Anime ''Hit'' series


    RANMA 1/2

    "oNE oF mY fAVOURITE aNIME sERIES"
    (created by Rumiko Takahashi)


    Konnichuwa Everyone...

    How to start....hmm..well seeing ranma and akane made me realise sometimes these two are just perfect for each other...

    The Whole Series is you guessed it..on Ranma, a highly skilled teenage martial artist, who is accidentally cursed while training in China with his father. Unless he finds a cure, cold water transforms Ranma into a female version of himself, and hot water reverses this.If that aint a problem...Ranma's father introduces him to his old friend, Soün, and his three daughters, and asked to pick one for his wife.The thing is Ranma really doesnt want one at all and Akane,the youngest of the bunch gets selected..Truth is..she hates all boys!.. including ranma..
    The series are composed on martial arts based combat, often with weird styles(really weird...I mean Haughty tiger Claw sounds funny) & strange situations. Also, there are several girls interested in Ranma, and several guys interested in Ranma's fiancée, Akane, and since they are all martial artists, this leads to some 'Interesting' situations.^_^
    Ranma ½ is a gender bending, wacky (sometimes serious) martial arts comedy.
    Great Fun to watch this somewhat old but lovable anime..
    Personal Thanks to one of the greatest manga creators of all time- Rumiko Takahashi.
    Arigato...(Bows head and leaves.....)By the way..she even created Inyusha...'Genius'
    Anime:''Slang''for animation and used to describe Japanese-style animation.

    Politics & Children...


    People I have a Question...
    Does this child know what she is fighting for or what she is doing?

    I have to make it clear though that protests here in the world are almost always political in nature... its almost always a stab at the current administration... they use issues, be it about a war in a foreign land, price increase, wage hike...and most of the time... these protest rallies get disperesed... rather violently at times...

    Kids have no place in rallies of this nature... they have no business marching with militants knowing that anytime rubber bullets or tear gas would rain down on them... they are victims of the world's bloody politics..
    Stop children doing this...For their Future is Bright unlike so many..

    A Silly Dream this Afternoon..

    Today I was sleeping after a long day of Exams...
    For all who don't know I do Exams as a Hobby..Hehe..Ok back to the topic..
    vague dreams started filling my head..First I woke in a park filled with flowers...Walking and saw people in black and white like in your old cowboy movies..Heck I think the next minute I was a deserted road with a long stretch of Tarmac road and no living soul on sight..Until my sister popped out from nowhere and showed me a sign of hope..She told me as quoted:

    Meena:''My dear brother..Fear not..For you are not lost..U are trapped in a realm where are two routes..Go backwards and you will not return..Go forward and you reach your helpfulness to get out of this place''

    Me:''ok thanks..So what is this helpline?"

    she points to a blue sign board which suddenly appears..
    My hope sinks..Cause the sign board says:


    After that..I walked onwards and and the desert slowly faded away..Lush trees..Conifer types started appearing..The air became misty, the weather was even worst..Boy I was shivering & soon enough another sigh board appeared..

    Now I didn't know what Houghton meant..But End of the earth looked more familiar to me..
    I trudged along..And suddenly fell into a spiraling abyss of darkness...
    ''POOP''
    Next minute I was down on the floor..I woke up..Must have fallen off..Rubbed my eyes and shaked my head...This was just silly dream I thought..Indeed it was..

    Any of Bloggers had a Vague dream like this?

    The 22 year old has beaten Tim Montgomery's previous best of 9.78, which the American set in Paris three years ago.




    He quotes after setting the record:"It shows no-one knows how fast a man can run."
    Indeed...

    Previous records...

    Adam & Eve vs Evolution


    One of my friends asked me..Did Adam or eve ever exist.. or was it just a figment of someone's imagination?
    True..The bible states the first man and women were created by the lord from the earth's dust and was given the gift of life..They lived in the garden of Eden..However god forbid them to eat from the tree of knowledge in the middle of the garden..Until a serpent persuaded eve to take a bite from a apple..They each took a bite..Gained wisdom and thus god became angry and banished them.. However since man ate the fruit of knowledge..he became intelligent and started discovering of how things work and started creating objects using the earth's sources for his own benefit
    Man..Become a living force on planet earth..mutiplying and harnessing mother nature resources at a rapid rate..Therefore creating a world we live in today..Filled with grief, poverty, war, sorrow and misery. Indeed man became as god predicted a plundering savage who uses anything and everything for his own benefits.
    The Scientific version now.... Man is a Finesse product from Primates or what we call apes.. Evolution dictated from Charles Darwin sprung a whole new plane of how man was created.. Man learnt slowly and thus broadened his Ideals and scope creating the world we live in now.. We Homosapiens maybe still having the wrong hypothesis of how we were born..


    *Note:This is just my view..Do give your suggestions and ideas too..Thank you*
