Chingrish!! Me No Understand......

Haha....I came across some very funny chingrish signs online today i would like to share.....

If you don't know what Chingrish means, this is how Wikipedia defines the term "Chingrish":

"Chinglish (slang) is a portmanteau of the words Chinese and English and refers to either (a) English interspersed with Chinese language errors common to those Chinese persons who are learning English or (b) Chinese interspersed with English, such as used by westernized Chinese (e.g. American-born Chinese) who are not fluent in Chinese and codeswitch English words into speech when they can't think of the correct Chinese word."

In correct or Improper pronunciation or misspellings through typos or poor pronunciation may result in Chingrish as below !!

Archaeo-Acoustics!!

Wow!! Pipe dream or possibility?? ever heard of it?? Archaeo-Acoustics i mean!!.......today is the first time i came across this term and decided to do some research into it!!

By archaeoacoustics I mean the recovery of sounds from the time before the invention of recording. This implies that such sounds would have been recorded inadvertently, while intending to do sometring else. Not much has been written about this subject and only very few experiments have been made, but I find the subject fascinating enough to dare the deep waters of the unproven and often scorned.

This is the clip i came across!!

One story making some news is that a piece of pottery from Pompeii was found to have had sound recordings inadvertently embedded in it during construction. The story is that the potter inadvertently recorded sound as he was applying a steel needle to make concentric rings around the body of the pot.

Belgian researchers have been able to use computer scans of the grooves in 6,500-year-old pottery to extract sounds made by the vibrations of the tools used to make the pottery.

Amazing or what??!

Gym,Gym and GYM!!

Yes!! It's time to hit the gym!! I never knew i would enjoy gym this much!! I havent been to gym for only a week and am missing it already!! Wow....such an addict :s (yes honey, i wanna be that butch muscle woman hahahaha....kidding!!my bf will kill me).

The range of gym fitness equipment available these days is staggering, and it can be hard to know which type of exercise equipments you really need. What’s best for weight loss? Toning? What’s the best for cardiovascular health? Umm......complicated so i will leave that to the trainer :p. But!! well,well, let’s focus on cardio exercises here, because it’s one thing everyone should be concerned about. Maybe your doctor has told you that you need to get your heart in better shape (or bum? for me anyway haha). Maybe you’ve been motivated by someone else who unexpectedly developed problems and you don’t want to be next. Even if it’s just a desire to “get healthier,” cardio exercise equipment is a good way to start on the road to a healthier lifestyle.


What Exactly Makes It “Cardio” Equipment?

A cardio workout’s primary purpose is to raise your heart rate to some extent in order to improve heart health and function. There may be other benefits to some kinds of gym and home fitness equipment (exercise bikes, for instance, can also strengthen and tone leg muscles), but cardio equipment’s primary goal is to raise the heart rate and break a sweat.

An additional side benefit of these types of home workouts is that you will also shed some weight as you burn off fat. It’s a win-win situation.

There are several kinds gym equipments that you can use for your workouts that will give you real cardiovascular benefits. Each of these has pros and cons attached with them, and you will need to decide for yourself which exercise best suits your fitness regimen.

Exercise Treadmills - Treadmills are traditionally the most popular type of cardio fitness equipment, but are fast being passed up by the elliptical trainer. Treadmills offer a great alternative to walking outside in bad weather. If you enjoy both walking and running, you can vary your speed and most come with heart rate monitors, which are always a good idea. Keep in mind, though, that this type of home gym equipment can jar your joints, so it may not be your best option if you have arthritis.

Exercise Bikes - Stationary exercise bikes allow you to sit down while biking, giving you the same chance to vary speeds. This type equipment is ideal if you suffer from back pain. Some stationary bikes also have handlebars that move as you peddle to exercise your upper body at the same time. Recumbent bikes allow you to sit back in the seat as you peddle.

Elliptical Trainers - Elliptical machines are one of the most popular pieces of fitness equipment for cardio workouts now available. You stand and work the feet back and forth, but because you don’t lift your feet and “glide” instead, there is no jarring of the joints. With each stroke, you are also working your upper body with the poles. Fewer of these have heart monitors, but some do. Alternatively, stop exercising periodically and check your pulse rate.

Am still a newbie when it comes to gym but that's all i know for now haha.......I find them very effective and i really enjoy it........."gym a day, keeps the doctors away"!! ;).

Laptop SOS!!

Yes, yes, today I have decided to blog about saving your laptop's life after a spill. Why would i want to blog about that? Well....hmm.....it was coz yesterday my herbal tea almost killed my dear Toshy(toshiba lah!!). So i have decided to provide some tips on how to save your laptop after a spill!!

Wanna know how? Wanna know how not?? Am not gonna tell you hahahaha.........kidding (I know, I know, not funny *sweat*)

Listen here guys, water, coffee, and soda are among your laptop's worst enemies. Just a little bit of such a liquid on your laptop keyboard can damage or destroy your machine or cause you to lose data.


Some laptops are more vulnerable to damage from a spill on the keyboard than others, and it doesn't always have anything to do with the price tag (yes, not all about fancy 5 figures). Some keyboards have a thin rubber membrane beneath the keys with electrical contacts molded right into little domes under each letter; that design may feel squishy and cheap to some users, but it stands up better to a splash or a flood than a more traditional design with springs and exposed contacts. How do you know which type of design you have? Take a look for yourself by prying off a keytop; if you're shopping, you may be able to get the information from the manufacturer or a dealer.




Here's the drill for an emergency recovery from a spill:

1. If you have your machine plugged into wall current, turn off the power at the circuit breaker in your home or office.You don't want to touch a wet wire carrying 110 volts or so.

If you're running the machine on battery power, it's still operating, and you don't see sparks, hear odd noises, or smell burnt electrical components, shut your laptop down through the normal Windows process.

If something is obviously wrong with the machine, turn it off immediately by depressing the Off switch or by removing the battery.

2. Ground yourself by touching the center screw on the faceplate of a dry electrical outlet or by touching some other metal object that reaches to ground.

3. If you haven't done so in emergency mode, remove the AC adapter and the battery, and set them aside.

4. Disconnect any external devices (such as a mouse) attached to the USB, FireWire, serial, or other ports.

5. If you find any liquid on the battery or AC adapter, wipe them carefully and set them aside.
If your spill has thoroughly soaked the AC adapter or the battery, you probably need to consider it a loss. You can get replacement AC adapters and batteries from various sources, including the original equipment manufacturer, laptop accessory companies, and the used market.

6. Remove any cards installed in the PC Card slot.

If they're wet, carefully dry them off. If any water has gotten into the narrow slot, dry out the area with a cotton swab, taking care not to leave any threads of cotton in the internal connector.

7. Wipe off any liquid on the display.

8. Remove the hard drive and the CD/DVD drives if you have them installed in plug-in bays.

9. Open the memory module container; remove and dry the memory modules.

10. Hand-dry the keyboard surface with a lint-free cloth.

11. Clean the exposed membrane or switch cover and the keys themselves.

12. Leaving the display open, place the computer on a sturdy surface supported by two books or small boxes.

13. Reassemble the pieces that you removed.

TADA!! There you go!!.........13 tips!! wow........haha.....didnt know it can be that cumbersome.....

The Story of 2!

Have you ever found yourself in a good love relationship, yet feeling like something is missing? Have you gone from relationship to relationship looking for a certain fit, a certain depth of feeling, but never finding it? You are not alone!!

I don't know why recently i feel incline to blog about emotions, love and all that. But it was a love story i stumbled across over the internet that made me think "So, what is love??"..........Can anyone tell me that? "How do you know if it's love?"......I have asked myself the same question alot of times and just like the story I am gonna tell you in a few seconds.........there are two types of love(in my opinion i mean, so don't shoot me!!)

The story of *Luke and *Sharon:

Luke and Sharon planned to be married once Luke finished college. Their plans were disrupted when Luke survived a serious auto accident. Luke felt he needed to find meaning and purpose in his life before he could marry Sharon. He broke their engagement and spent the next several years traveling. After studying philosophy in India and Japan and finding few answers, he drifted back to his hometown and lived with his parents. Luke wandered from one relationship to another, never finding a woman with whom he felt happy. One day he awoke to find that he was 40 years old and very much alone. What had gone wrong in his search for love and purpose in his life? He never got married and ended up living alone.

Reading the story above made me question myself. So what is love? and how many forms of love there are? To me right now, i think there are two forms of love. Spiritual love and romantic love. the couple mentioned in the story above are confused about love. Luke is confusing a spiritual form of love with romantic love. Expecting to find both in one relationship, he has been unable to find either.

So what is spiritual love? And what is romantic love?

While sexual attraction can be an important part of romantic love, it is not a defining characteristic. The basic idea is that our understanding of who we are comes from the many relationships we have: family, friends, community. The hallmark of romantic love is that we have a partner with whom we mutually discover and create a shared sense of self and identity. Our restless search for the purpose of love and its meaning pointed in the direction of a different but related love-spiritual love.

The primary focus of spiritual love is transformation of the self. Transformation into what?? That depends on the particular religious or philosophical tradition in to which you belong. Transformation of the self usually involves the learning and practice of a cluster of key values, such as compassion, mercy and kindness. The goal is to have all of our relationships tempered by these key values, including our romantic relationships. Only then will we find a sense of purpose, a feeling of being connected to the world in a positive way.

While transformation of the self and creation of a shared sense of self are closely related, they are different. No wonder we were getting confused! How has this affected our search for love? When we stop looking for all the wrong loves in all the wrong places a funny thing will happen. If we stop expecting romantic love to do double duty as spiritual love, our wandering ways would come to an end. I have not solved all of the struggles to be found in romantic love. But I think and strongly believe now that having the right expectations will help me avoid the search for that one true love I would never have found.

When Things Change..............

Never thought it will happen to me and him. Never thought.............the times we spent together, the things we do together, the laughter we share, the tears we shed, brings a smile to my face...........am starting to think all these will become memories, if not now, maybe one day............

am afraid......yes very afraid, of losing him........but what can i do? tears are not enough to change the fact that things are changing.......why? why am i crying hard now as am sitting here chatting with him. WHY?I don't know as emotions overflow......

It's hard to imagine awhile back our conversations were filled with "us" and now its either "you" and "I"...........I feel so down and painful.......

Dont cry, don't cry i tell myself...........but how can i not? I can't........coz i love him so much.......
