To those that are stocking and jacking up the price of masks in Taiwan:
I wonder if you are a heart. You are actually earning money by putting other's lifes in danger. The whole society is in a state of chaos, people are actually dying due to lack of protective gears like the masks you are storing away and refusing to put them out to the market. Your heart is probably eaten by the dog! You are being the parasite of the society, and your acts are just disgusting and shameful. Shame on you!!! Do remember that what goes around comes around.
May you taste the fruit of your greed and selfishness
May you suffer more than the suffering you caused to your fellow country man
May you die and burn in hell for you have prove not worthy of being a human coz you show no compassion towards others when others are suffering
But still i will pray for you.coz you are still a human being even though your actions suggests otherwise... and i do not wish to see fellow human beings from suffering, even though what you have done disgust me greatly and the consequence of your action is of such horror that your soul is beyond salvation. While you probably have no regards or fear as to what your future holds for you, and probably don't believe in retribution, I DO, and i fear for you. Yet, such is a path of destruction you have chosen for youself... much as i hate your actions, i truly feel sad about what your future will be.
*******************Facts about the SARS situation in Taiwan********************
1. the taipei police recently found 68000 masks being stored away by vendors refusing to sell them now, hoping for the market price to go up further.
2. vendors are selling imitation N95 masks at more than NT$700 a piece.
3. more than 120000 masks and temperature guns were illegally stored away at the custom while there is a shortage of such supplies in Taiwan
4. hospital workers, due to lack of supply of such protective gear, had to work in SARS contaminated environment with minimal protection.
seriously... i am very very very very very very angry, sad, frightened (my family is in Taiwan... and my mom has been sick for the past few weeks though it is not SARS...), and i am just totally scared at how such things can happen... yeah... such kind of assholes exist throughout the history of mankind... but still...

and yes... Real is out... this is as good as it gets... i think it is about time they start to buy some REAL defenders instead of snatching all the top offensive players from everyone... haha... i do admit Real has a superb offensive squad... but its defence is just horrible... i think only salgado is worth tokking... hierro and the rest are just not good enough if Real really want to dominate football... and with the kind of money they are willing to fork out, i am really puzzeled with why they neva thought of buying some world class defenders... but all is good... i bet the people in Real will finally understand the importance of defenders... and not let some chap like R.Carlos play at the defender position when he knows NUTZ about defending... HAHAHA... so i really think this lose is a good lesson for the team!!!
but then again, the down side of this all will be the all italian final... argh... horror horror... we can see that the italians are capable of exciting football... but still, i have no idea why they want to defend all the time... really bore the hell out of me... and the upcoming finalz may just be tat... heck... if tat is the case, why dun we just go straight into the penalty shoot out instead of seeing 11 men cramming in their own penalty box for 90 minutes... disgusting... in any case, i won't be watching the match... coz the TV in my apt is no longer hooked up to cable... oh well... just my luck... but i dun really watch TV all tat much anyway...

nice quote...
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!

a series of incidents has make me seriously consider the possibility of staying back in the dorm again next year... well... i did signed a contract with the housing for fall and winter term... but after my experiences so far this semester, i really really enjoyed living off campus... i think it is so much more enjoyable... bigger rooms and you get to cook your own food... but then again, there are also issues that i really think staying in the dorm will be a better option... for one, utilities are all taken care of, internet is taken cared of too... i can still cook my own meals in the common kitchen coz i won't be taking meal plans...
ok... then there is also the down side... i will be staying in this really really small room... which is not entirely comfortable... and i will be staying up north... while my classes are all in central... which means i have to commute around like crazy... and doing that in winter is really no joke... you can really die in that kind of weather... hmm... still have time to deliberate... mayb i should meditate on that a little bit and hopefully can come to a good conclusions... certain other reasons and factors are also present, but in this case, i don't really wish to say them here, coz i wish to protect the ppl that is concerned... it is no a matter of right or wrong... it is a matter of differences... in situations when there are differences where you are not willing to compromise, it is very difficult ya noe... so i need to think... think hard... think smart... and think responsibly... but i just need to say it out... it makes me feel better...
today is mothers' day... called my mom, my grandma, my big aunt and my third aunt... hope all mothers in the world a happy and healthy mothers' day... amitahba!!!

another joke from the same site....
The English Language
Lets face it: English is a terrible language.
There is no egg in the eggplant no ham in the hamburger and neither pine
nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England, French fries were not invented
in France.
We sometimes take English for granted. But if we examine its paradoxes
we find that Quicksand takes you down slowly, boxing rings are square and
a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing. If the plural of tooth
is teeth, shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth? If the teacher
taught, why didn't the preacher praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
what the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play, yet play at a recital? Park on driveways
and drive on parkways?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language where a house can
burn up as it burns down and in which you fill in a form by filling it out.
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity
of the human race (which of course isn't a race at all). That is why when
the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are
invisible.
And why it is that when I wind up my watch it starts but when I wind up
this story ends?
Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is a person
who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car
not called a racist? Why are wise men and wise guys opposites? Why do overlook
and oversee mean opposite things?
If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible?
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that
electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models
deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed?
Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the
universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint
you will have to touch it to be sure?
If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does
he become disoriented? If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't
people from Holland called "Holes?

Answering Machine Owners Messages
Actual answering machine answers recorded and verified by the world famous:
International Institute of Answering Machine Answers.
"My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your
name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished."
Narrator's voice:) "There Richard sits, reading a magazine. Suddenly the
telephone rings! The bathroom explodes into veritable maelstrom of toilet
paper, with Dale in the middle of it, his arms windmilling at incredible
speeds! Will he make it in time? Alas no, his valiant effort is in vain.
The bell hath sounded. Thou must leave a message."
"Hi. Now you say something."
"Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk
to it instead. Wait for the beep."
"Hello. I am David's answering machine. What are you?"
(From my Japanese friend in Toronto) "He-lo! This is Sa-to. If you leave
message, I call you soon. If you leave sexy message, I call sooner!"
"Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please
speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these
magnets."
"Hello, this is Sally's microwave. Her answering machine just eloped with
her tape deck, so I'm stuck with taking her calls. Say, if you want anything
cooked while you leave your message, just hold it up to the phone."
"Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages.
My owners do not need siding, windows, or a hot tub, and their carpets are
clean. They give to charity through their office and do not need their picture
taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and number and they will
get back to you."
"This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic thought-recording
device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling,
and a number where I can reach you, and I'll think about returning your
call."
"Hi. I am probably home. I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave
me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you."
"Hi, this is George. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave
a message, and then wait by your phone until I call you back."
"If you are a burglar, then we're probably at home cleaning our weapons
right now and can't come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren't home
and it's safe to leave us a message."
(Direct approach:) "Who are you and what do you want?"
"You are growing tired. Your eyelids are getting heavy. You feel very sleepy
now. You are gradually losing your will power and your ability to resist
suggestions. When you hear the tone you will feel helplessly compelled to
leave your name, number, and a message."
"You have reached the CPX-2000 Voice Blackmail System. Your voice patterns
are now being digitally encoded and stored for later use. Once this is done,
our computers will be able to use the sound of your voice for literally
thousands of illegal and immoral purposes. There is no charge for this initial
consultation. However our staff of professional extortionists will contact
you in the near future to further explain the benefits of our service, and
to arrange for your schedule of payment. Remember to speak clearly at the
sound of the tone. Thank you."
"Please leave a message. However, you have the right to remain silent.
Everything you say will be recorded and will be used by us."
"Hello, you've reached Jim and Sonya. We can't pick up the phone right
now, because we're doing something we really enjoy. Sonya likes doing it
up and down, and I like doing it left to right . . . real slowly. So leave
a message, and when we're done brushing our teeth we'll get back to you."
