Little do they know, Jesus was not born in December.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the biblical description, it is most likely that his birth occurred in September, approximately six months after &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover"&gt;Passover&lt;/a&gt;.  The bible also records shepherds tending their sheep in the fields on that night, this would be ridiculous to have happened during a cold Judean winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25th?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis"&gt;Isis&lt;/a&gt; was celebrated on December 25. Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Syma3DscC1I/AAAAAAAABkg/z4PhBsbRnOo/s1600-h/Pagan+Ritual.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 179px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Syma3DscC1I/AAAAAAAABkg/z4PhBsbRnOo/s320/Pagan+Ritual.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416030297564908370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Romans called their winter holiday &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia"&gt;Saturnalia&lt;/a&gt;, honoring &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_%28mythology%29"&gt;Saturn&lt;/a&gt;. The festival season was marked by much merrymaking, this is also where the tradition of the Mummers was born. The Mummers were groups of costumed singers and dancers who traveled from house to house entertaining their neighbors. (Doesn't this sound like caroling?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pagans of northern Europe celebrated their own winter solstice, known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule"&gt;Yule&lt;/a&gt;, in honor of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraic_Mysteries"&gt;Mithras&lt;/a&gt;. It was customary to light a candle to encourage the sun to &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SymexO7pHHI/AAAAAAAABko/7GPU11Bn9KY/s1600-h/Pagan+Candle.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 225px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SymexO7pHHI/AAAAAAAABko/7GPU11Bn9KY/s320/Pagan+Candle.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416034595548765298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;reappear next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Huge &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_log"&gt;Yule logs&lt;/a&gt; were burned in honor of the sun. The word Yule itself means “wheel,” and the wheel is a pagan symbol for the sun. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and the custom of kissing under the mistletoe began as a fertility ritual. Hollyberries were thought to be a food of the gods. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tree is the one symbol that unites almost all the northern European winter solstices. Live evergreen trees were often brought into homes during the harsh winters as a reminder to inhabitants that soon their crops would grow again. The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druid"&gt;Druids&lt;/a&gt; used the tree as a religious symbol, holding their sacred ceremonies while surrounding and worshiping huge trees.  &lt;/p&gt;In 350, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Julius_I"&gt;Pope Julius I&lt;/a&gt; declared that Christ’s birth would be celebrated on December 25. There is little doubt that he was trying to make it as painless as possible for pagan Romans (who remained a majority at that time) to convert to Christianity. The conversion went a bit easier, since their feasts were not be taken away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what does the bible say about Christmas?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Jeremiah 10:2-4: &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:courier new;" &gt;"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urge fellow Christians around the world to open their eyes and not follow blindly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;PS. I have nothing against the celebration of Christmas as a modern culture, but it is definitely NOT a religious festival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-9060898489418224557?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/9060898489418224557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=9060898489418224557' title='82 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/9060898489418224557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/9060898489418224557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/12/pagan-christmas.html' title='Pagan Christmas'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SymXYinlZvI/AAAAAAAABkY/_O9T-OF6AoE/s72-c/Christmas+Tree.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>82</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-8562141137042660415</id><published>2009-11-23T11:17:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T11:22:10.858+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miscellaneous / Fun Posts'/><title type='text'>Condoms</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Swn_jl1ldSI/AAAAAAAABkQ/tmAViRTUris/s1600/Condom.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

that are meant to be kept at all cost (eg laws against murder, robbery, rape, violence, harming of others). Another is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'laws of selfishness'&lt;/span&gt; erected to best protect the interest of the authorities while pushing the people around (eg high taxes, no freedom of speech, political imprisonment).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people tend to associate a law-abiding person as a 'good' person. But truthfully, being morally right has nothing to do with abiding to certain &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'selfish laws'&lt;/span&gt;. Let's take the virtue "justice" for instance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SwliZn0TufI/AAAAAAAABkI/DjL1UwV0SOw/s1600/Justice+Scales.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 182px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SwliZn0TufI/AAAAAAAABkI/DjL1UwV0SOw/s320/Justice+Scales.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406961019959622130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Justice and law are 2 very different thing. Justice is about doing the right thing, while law is simply a set of rules established by an authority, no matter being just or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the time, people do not break the law because of the fear to suffer the consequences. It's not as if they genuinely want to be good people, but rather, do not want to risk getting caught and facing the music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I personally feel is that when the law is unfair or wrong, it should be challenged and pulled down at all cost, even at one's own life.

When interviewed on why she decided to serve in this physically demanding parade, she expressed her love for her country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the news decided to flash her Singapore PR ID, she soon became the became the new target of anger for some Singaporeans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A huge number of Singaporeans are fanatically angry at her, for being a Singapore PR and yes loving China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SwC88OHQ5SI/AAAAAAAABjw/3RIfx_wp6X0/s1600/Singapore+Chinese+PR+Zhang+Yuan+Yuan.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 163px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SwC88OHQ5SI/AAAAAAAABjw/3RIfx_wp6X0/s320/Singapore+Chinese+PR+Zhang+Yuan+Yuan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404527295611331874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Now, this is what I'm wondering: A Singapore PR, is a citizen of a foreign country who possess the right to reside in Singapore permanently. So what can't an individual who's residing in Singapore be loyal and love his/her own country? Just because living in Singapore, does not mean one needs to be loyal to this country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was a PR as well, and trust me, as a PR, we are not given a lot of privileges the locals get such as education subsidies, ERS, GST subsidy, etc.. But when it comes to shitty commitments like CPF and NS, we are expected to do the same!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People love to say &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"if you don't like it here, go back to your country"&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"at least we are better"&lt;/span&gt; or something along that line. Well it may be funny to brush off a foreigner by these impolite statements, but are we really addressing to the social problem here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xenophobia breeds misunderstanding. Misunderstandings breeds discrimination and discrimination in turn, breeds hatred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, we see a display of hypocritical patriotism. If you really love your country, please be concerned of politics and fight for democracy, fight for the social welfare of people, fight for positive social changes, instead of only being concerned with your own mundane lives.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-3733740481442755884?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/3733740481442755884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=3733740481442755884' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/3733740481442755884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/3733740481442755884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/11/so-whats-wrong.html' title='So What&apos;s Wrong?'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SwDA02Fz0rI/AAAAAAAABj4/ZtIG5Py_KG8/s72-c/Zhang+Yuan+Yuan.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-3267139078035192323</id><published>2009-11-15T21:40:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T23:29:36.829+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sports / Kickboxing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christof&apos;s Life'/><title type='text'>Plateau  Stage, I Feel Like Shit...</title><content type='html'>Training was a nightmare today...

I am stressed, fatigued and anxious - Not for the possibly injuries or losing the fight (since I've experienced losses and that anything can happen in sports), but for the fear that I may not surpass the wall I have set for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, here's the differences between a warrior and a brute:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A brute is strong when it comes to the body, but if he is disadvantaged, overpowered or defeated, his spirit falls apart and finds excuses to consoles himself of his failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A warrior on the other hand, is strong in both the body and spirit. He will never give up even when pitted against the most powerful adversaries. Either he wins with a bang, or put up a hell of a fight and go down with a bang too. Then rebounce, retrain, and return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here a small and humble information to share for those who are interested in competitive sports. In order to be eligible to represent a specific country in most international sporting events, you must meet &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;ONE&lt;/span&gt; (not all) of the following criteria:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Have a citizenship of the intended country.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Have a residential right &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;of the intended country (eg &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Green Card for US&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;PR for Singapore&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;ARC for Taiwan R.O.C.&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Living in the intended country for the past 24 months, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;AND&lt;/span&gt; have not represented another country for the past 36 months.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Either one of your parents originated from the intended country.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;I know for sure I'm gonna hit someone and I'm gonna get hit. So what's new? I just have to train harder, and harder, and harder...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one cannot come to terms with such, then it's probably safer to play chess.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-8893632498528542912?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/8893632498528542912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=8893632498528542912' title='88 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/8893632498528542912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/8893632498528542912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/11/november-rain.html' title='November Rain'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>88</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-7788211694008568049</id><published>2009-10-20T09:06:00.012+08:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T09:44:13.817+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christof&apos;s Life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social'/><title type='text'>High School Losers</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/St0VmRfTntI/AAAAAAAABjg/J8iwp4fhZ_U/s1600-h/High+School+Outcast.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 278px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/St0VmRfTntI/AAAAAAAABjg/J8iwp4fhZ_U/s320/High+School+Outcast.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394491675933646546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Many enjoyed high school - the fun, the booze, the girls, skipping school and bullying that pathetic kid who was branded an outcast, a loser.

The hardworking? The righteous? The thinker? No, it's usually the guys who are perceived as "fun" - spending more time making out with girls, pushing others around and those who don't think about life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I was an outcast. And in a way, I still am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High school was a nightmare for me. With my unimpressive height of 5'7, I was constantly being picked on. Because I spent more time thinking about bigger issues in life &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/St0S2ImGGzI/AAAAAAAABjI/9mt8046eEoQ/s1600-h/School+Bully.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/St0S2ImGGzI/AAAAAAAABjI/9mt8046eEoQ/s320/School+Bully.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394488649889225522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;rather than fun, I was branded a nerd (though my academic results said otherwise). In fact, I had no interest in what the most youngsters would perceive as having fun. I'm a non-alcoholic, I'm not interested in partying at clubs, I don't know what the hell is so interesting about impressing the girls and most of all, I was like a caveman living in the wrong era who knew shit about what was "in" the teenage scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was challenged to fights for no reason other than me being a kickboxer by alpha male wannabes who wished to prove themselves. Perhaps they had no other ways to prove to be better men, than dashing our their raw strength. And when they were not winning, guess what, their band of brothers will seem to appear from nowhere and jump on you. Inferior complex due to inadequate penile size, I tell you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/St0UIZKKycI/AAAAAAAABjY/R39ybDEKC5M/s1600-h/Alpha+Male.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 289px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/St0UIZKKycI/AAAAAAAABjY/R39ybDEKC5M/s320/Alpha+Male.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394490063084767682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Well, but what happens to these "losers" when they grow up? What usually follow are career, nice personality and iron-will achieved from all these years of hardship. Look around you, remember that pathetic little kid who was bullied in school? Where is he now? And then that Mr. popular alpha male?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So young ones, listen up! I know high school sucks, I've been there myself. But trust me, when you get over it, it's gonna be a whole lot better.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-7788211694008568049?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/7788211694008568049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=7788211694008568049' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/7788211694008568049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/7788211694008568049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/10/high-school-losers.html' title='High School Losers'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/St0VmRfTntI/AAAAAAAABjg/J8iwp4fhZ_U/s72-c/High+School+Outcast.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-6033538925750881422</id><published>2009-10-19T09:32:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2009-10-19T22:10:00.776+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social'/><title type='text'>Ungrateful Kids</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/StvI4MDfaeI/AAAAAAAABio/klKWT4ycoDw/s1600-h/Family.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/StvI4MDfaeI/AAAAAAAABio/klKWT4ycoDw/s320/Family.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394125846340397538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I am horribly disturbed by the spawning of ungrateful kids these day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything their parents tell them, seems wrong as compared to the stupid modern twisted theories their peers circulate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents, being the one who feed, clothe and brought about the existence of these kids are not getting their rightful respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I don't deny that there are parents who failed their duties and do not deserve respect, most parents slog off at work to provide and make ends meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, sometimes they get unreasonable, and sometimes they get over-demanding. But hey, they are humans after all. So when we're free to admit that we are flawed ourselves, is it fair to them for being expected to be perfect?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the Western media, Asian kids today long to move out on their own. They talk about freedom and independence, but guess what? When they are hungry, there's always the key to daddy's house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Asian girls love moving into their boyfriend's place (well actually, boyfriend's parent's place). Truth to be known, it is never an Asian culture for unmarried couples to be staying together.

Now this dude over here looks really strong and cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He'll probably impress a lot of girls more than I ever will. And likewise, he'll probably intimidate a lot of guys more than I ever will too. But if I were to be looking something like him, I would probably die in my next fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is, fighters really don't need a lot of muscles. We don't put on useless bulky muscles coz it'll only add to the amount of weight we have to "carry".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Body builders lift to get big and look good, we fighters train to have effective explosive strength, speed, stamina, fighting techniques and sadistic pain tolerance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting ripped has nothing to do with fighting. In fact, fighters experience an add-on layer of fats around our abdominal area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Body fat is very actually very crucial in this sport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, a fighter's routine includes cardio, weights, technique and sparring. Any cardio exercise that runs to 45 minutes up burns not only fat, but muscles too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, we need fats to sustain the intensity of our activity. 3 minutes in the ring, is more tiring than running 2 miles. And over time, our body, being very smart will adapt to our activity and naturally store fats around our abs to ensure our supply of energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, fat absorbs the impact delivered by an opponent. Our body eventually evolve to protect our muscles by storing fats as we all know that the body fat comes first before muscle tissues in terms of layers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, we would probably be more concerned about spending our limited time improving our punches, kicks, stamina instead of building additional useless bulky muscles to carry with us into the ring when our next fight is only shortly away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most fighters spot clear mid-section fat storage:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/StNLYGy1jhI/AAAAAAAABhY/HNGzoFl-sUo/s1600-h/Cung+Le.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

There is scientific proof. Science taught us things happen all the time, beyond what we know and what we can see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science is about discovery. Just because we are unable to explain something at this point of time by our current level of science doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

But today, we've done it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science is an evolution of faith. In order to make new discoveries, we got to first have faith. Then will we strive to achieve discovery.  Scientists who debunk any miracles or unexplainable events/beliefs due to "no scientific proof" are the least scientific people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As said, science is about discovery and having an open mind.

Many failed, but some succeed in conquering a huge portion of what was the known world. Eventually, all empires fall, mainly due to the imperfect leadership such as tyranny, extravagance, or pursue of selfish ambitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SsWAr9QbEII/AAAAAAAABgY/TTGNr9nBMvI/s1600-h/Napoleon+Bonaparte.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 199px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SsWAr9QbEII/AAAAAAAABgY/TTGNr9nBMvI/s320/Napoleon+Bonaparte.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387854021884842114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The reason I want to conquer the world is not because of selfish goals, but to destroy this sin-filled shit hole, and rebuild it into a righteous and just society with good morals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modern twisted theories have replaced what we know as morals. The rich and beautiful are praised instead of the righteous and just while the poor are mocked instead of the sinful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a new global empire, many problems can be solved:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Economic crisis - under 1 global currency, there will be no currency fluctuation and crashes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Starvation - there will be no starvation since the amount of food in the world is sufficient for everyone. With the whole world under 1 government, food can be distributed evenly on a global scale.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Poverty - with all resources under the control of 1 same government, inflation can be controlled and there will be sufficient social safety scheme since money is no longer a problem. The gap between the rich and poor will be reasonable.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Political instability - I am lord, enough said. However, as a good leader, I will swear upon my grandfather's grave to exercise democracy to the max. Every single person will be given the right to come forth to me to speak up about their problems or grudges and I will see to it that the right actions are taken to try our best to solve them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Justice system - one universal law system, no criminals will get away from the loopholes in the law.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;War - Since there is only 1 government, there will be no "nations", and while the central government controls everything, there will be no rise of warlords.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Medical - With all resources at my disposal, I will provide all humans of the best medical care.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Moral values - Supervising all media and education, I will ensure that the right morals are passed to the next generation instead of drugs, sex, violence and materialism.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Disaster relief - one planet, one government, no nations. If Southeast Asia is suffering from some serious natural disaster, I will immediately evacuate the people and relocate them to Europe.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Freedom of the people - as said, one global planets mean citizens are free to travel without visas. Allowing them to visit places they couldn't go before due to immigration rules.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SsV_C1bzM-I/AAAAAAAABgQ/OegjpuvaOAY/s1600-h/Genghis+Khan.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 166px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SsV_C1bzM-I/AAAAAAAABgQ/OegjpuvaOAY/s320/Genghis+Khan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387852215898813410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I could go on and on for days and nights going into details of many other reasons, but I think the above will be enough for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some many think I am crazy, but the truth is, the world will never truly unite through any means, since everyone wants to play boss. Unless of course, 1 person conquered it all without contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I have conquered the world, I vow to be a just, righteous and selfless leader, who would be ready to serve my people and not the other way around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be a leader, and yet also a servant. Each and every citizen will be equal and have full humans rights and welfare yet to be seen by the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So world, behold, I am Christof, the man who will one day conquer the world and rebuild it into a righteous utopia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SsWBygO4q9I/AAAAAAAABgg/6lU1HExHEK4/s1600-h/Alexandra+the+Great.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SsWBygO4q9I/AAAAAAAABgg/6lU1HExHEK4/s320/Alexandra+the+Great.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387855233864477650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-6214757181460127758?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/6214757181460127758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=6214757181460127758' title='30 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/6214757181460127758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/6214757181460127758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/10/why-i-want-to-conquer-world.html' title='Why I Want To Conquer The World'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SsV_CMuaUyI/AAAAAAAABgI/M-Q0qJintmo/s72-c/Qin+Shi+Huang.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-1879927438083004863</id><published>2009-09-27T23:32:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T23:45:56.440+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miscellaneous / Fun Posts'/><title type='text'>Durian Mooncake</title><content type='html'>As the Chinese Mid-Autumn festival approaches, it's not uncommon to see the sales of mooncakes picking up in Chinese inhabited places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sr-HtE8rqLI/AAAAAAAABfg/P5m7MiQg1s0/s1600-h/Mooncakes.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 202px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sr-HtE8rqLI/AAAAAAAABfg/P5m7MiQg1s0/s320/Mooncakes.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386172887850526898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Since young, I've always hate mooncakes due to the lotus paste they have inside. I don't particularly dislike lotus paste, but mooncakes just contain too much of them. The thought of having my taste bud being overwhelmed by the sheer sweetness, and my throat filled with the sheer gluey thickness, oh God, it makes me feel like I am swallowing cum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And modern mooncakes got a whole lot more innovative with lots of flavors to choose from. Common ones include yam, green tea, orange and durian. However they are literally only flavored lotus paste. Hence I decided to stay away from mooncakes altogether for a very long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I found this particular brand of durian mooncake, that is truly amazing.

So why are the churches keeping all the money instead of giving?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am absolutely disgusted by churches having state of the art facilities. A church is a house of God, and you honor God by doing good, not by decorating a human construction like a 6 star hotel, or maybe even a royal palace. These desires make you less spiritual and more material, which is NOT the basis of any religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SpVj4Q-F2NI/AAAAAAAABdg/tmu8ctl0XvQ/s1600-h/Jesus+on+Donkey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 229px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SpVj4Q-F2NI/AAAAAAAABdg/tmu8ctl0XvQ/s320/Jesus+on+Donkey.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374311548615776466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Many priests and pastors who practice charismatic and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology"&gt;prosperity gospel&lt;/a&gt;, said that Jesus rode a donkey, which in His day, is a BIG thing, pretty much the equivalent of an expensive car of today, hence it is ok for religious leaders to drive expensive cars since the Lord himself did it. The difference is, Jesus did not make/persuade anyone to donate their hard earned silver coins to buy him a donkey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, if they really want to follow exactly what Jesus did, do NOT be selective! Why are they just choosing to mention only the "luxuries" Jesus had and arguing that it's ok for them to do so too since Jesus did it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well they are missing out the point that Jesus got crucified on the cross and died for humanity!

To top it off, they advocate sexual equality claiming that they are as capable as men and blah blah blah...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These women, are absolute hypocrites, their "equality" is a lie!

Let's see... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First I helped a man pushed his car which went dead on him to jump start it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next I stopped a man who was going to beat up his girlfriend for whatever reason he may have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever it is, a man should never hit a woman. And I am horribly disgusted to see people on the road ignoring the whole commotion. Maybe they didn't want to get into trouble? Or perhaps they simply didn't care coz it wasn't their damn business?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such acts defile my eyes and it is the dignity, as a man, as a fellow human to stop unrighteousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dignity is unlike food and water. Without them, you can't survive. But you can live without dignity.

Little do they know, their little plan failed miserable, only to bring out more harm than help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SkjbhEelq0I/AAAAAAAABZk/rNENxOx-4Yk/s1600-h/Singapore+Garden+City+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 184px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SkjbhEelq0I/AAAAAAAABZk/rNENxOx-4Yk/s320/Singapore+Garden+City+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352769518314040130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Let's first talk about the beautification aspect. When foreigners, especially those from the west come to a country like Singapore, they would be amazed with how developed you are, not how much trees you have. If they are interested in nature and plants, they would have gone to Cambodia or Indonesia. In many Westerners' opinions, the east has always been a more.... rural place... Where most countries are not as well-developed. So instead of showing off how developed and advanced Singapore is, you guys get high sticking to the stereotype of a jungle?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Skjrk96VqkI/AAAAAAAABak/Z2E9rRvTDwI/s1600-h/Tebrau+Highway.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 206px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Skjrk96VqkI/AAAAAAAABak/Z2E9rRvTDwI/s320/Tebrau+Highway.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352787177456904770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Then we talked about temperature... JB, Malaysia has must lesser trees as compared to Singapore. I personally do not see a significant difference in how hot I feel when I am in JB and Singapore. Seriously, ask any sane persons, they will tell you, JB has the same temperature and humidity as Singapore. Does the government seriously think that by planting a few pathetic trees in this little island of theirs, they can change the entire climate of the region? Fat hope...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as for providing shade... It works in a way, but who stays outdoors anyway at 12 noon? Singapore is a small country with the 2nd highest population density in the world. There are buildings everywhere.... If you have some trees in the parks for shade and beauty purposes, that's excellent. But keep them IN the park!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now why do I say trees bring more harm than help in Singapore?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SkjdzEEFjhI/AAAAAAAABZ0/vC1ovjqQtX0/s1600-h/Singapore+Fallen+Tree+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 171px; height: 102px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SkjdzEEFjhI/AAAAAAAABZ0/vC1ovjqQtX0/s320/Singapore+Fallen+Tree+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352772026463784466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 1.

Leaves, branches, seeds, fruits and other bio-substances from trees messes up the urban environment. They can be a real pain when they land on your car, or worse, on your head...

Singapore has a shortage of water supply. She even have to buy water from her big neighbor Malaysia! Instead of building more canals and water catchment areas, having millions more trees which also consume water (hence competing with people) seems like a REALLY "bright" idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok now, all these problems can be solved by road sweepers and maintences, but can you imagine the amount of manpower, time, effort and money to put into all these?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For God's sake, use the money to set up a social security net for the poor and needy instead of spending tons of money each year trying to import, plant and maintain the damn trees! Allocate your manpower to do more constructive things than to sweep leaves and remove botanical debris!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's good to have a small quantity of trees in the city, for larger quantity, please leave them in the parks. For big ass quantity, leave them in the damn forest!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-3321553866200397210?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/3321553866200397210/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=3321553866200397210' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/3321553866200397210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/3321553866200397210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/06/trees-will-destroy-singapore.html' title='Trees Will Destroy Singapore'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SkjcyDAqkRI/AAAAAAAABZs/nR0S-uBOOPo/s72-c/Singapore+Garden+City+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-6964030166858922073</id><published>2009-06-22T00:42:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-22T01:49:36.841+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>White Racism History</title><content type='html'>After weeks of intensive working and training, I decided to spend this weekend at home. During my free time, I thought about some issues including the history of racism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everywhere I looked, it seems like wherever they go, White people leave a bloody trail of racism throughout history. Colonization during the 19&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; and 20&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; century landed White people on more than half of the globe. There, they deemed themselves superior and disadvantaged all other races.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major events of racism in history includes the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unequal_Treaties#Treaties_imposed_on_China"&gt;Unequal Treaties&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust"&gt;Holocaust&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_slave_trade"&gt;African salve trade&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_under_apartheid"&gt;Apartheid&lt;/a&gt;, so tell me, which of these aren't fueled by the Whites?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to go further into details because that will awaken the forgotten hatred amongst many, whatever that happened, let's pray that history will not repeat itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-6964030166858922073?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/6964030166858922073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=6964030166858922073' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/6964030166858922073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/6964030166858922073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/06/white-racism-history.html' title='White Racism History'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-7509386759237287345</id><published>2009-06-08T23:34:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-09T01:04:21.384+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><title type='text'>St. Judas Iscariot</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Si1CstCYGBI/AAAAAAAABY0/Rrw5R-g1OUQ/s1600-h/judas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 203px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Si1CstCYGBI/AAAAAAAABY0/Rrw5R-g1OUQ/s320/judas.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345001668529887250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Now I'm sure everyone who has some Christianity knowledge knows who &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas Iscariot&lt;/a&gt; was - the man who betrayed Christ for 30 pieces of silver, the price of a slave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His name taken out from the ranks of the Apostles, forever cursed by Christians to be the greatest sinner of all time and hence, losing his halo in Christian arts forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy"&gt;Divine Comedy&lt;/a&gt;, one of the best literature work by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Alighieri"&gt;Dante&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt; was being administered the most horrifying torture of the three prominent traitors portrayed - his head in the mouth of Lucifer, and his back being forever skinned by the claws, with his blood mixed with Lucifer's tears in the most sickening perverted fashion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But was &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt; all evil? The Resurrection required the Crucifixion, and the Crucifixion required the Betrayal, he took a bad rap for playing the part God sets for him. So one disciple who "betrayed" Christ got to become the sinner while the others who watch the Master die and played saints?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember Peter? Who cursed and swear and denied he knew Jesus when the Master was in captivity and set for execution? He became the first pope... And what about the other apostles who knew about their Master's execution yet sat around and did nothing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Si1DNEQrmpI/AAAAAAAABZM/IBWgAhx3Phs/s1600-h/washing-of-the-feet12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 183px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Si1DNEQrmpI/AAAAAAAABZM/IBWgAhx3Phs/s320/washing-of-the-feet12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345002224519715474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;If you look into the bible, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt; was portrayed more and more evil with each Gospels. Luke never met Jesus or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt;, and the bible is filled with filtration and alteration caused by human agenda than divine intervention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt; was the trusted treasurer of the group who held his office with dignity. Why didn't he run away with all the money but instead sell Christ out for ONLY 30 silvers? If he has followed Christ, he would have genuinely believe He was the Son of God. Who is the right mind would betray a divine being for money when he knows the result is eternal damnation?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these bullshits are made up by human's political agendas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Si1DxgBhKjI/AAAAAAAABZU/Y5-w9fghkQ8/s1600-h/gospelofjudas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 219px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Si1DxgBhKjI/AAAAAAAABZU/Y5-w9fghkQ8/s320/gospelofjudas.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345002850447600178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Another possibility is through the discovery of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Judas"&gt;The Gospel of Judas&lt;/a&gt;. Blind Christian scholars argued that the earliest copy found was 30 years after Christ's death and hence it was not accurate. Yes that's the earliest printed copy found, but does that mean it was wasn't written earlier? And fuck it, they didn't even found printed copies of the other Gospels as "young" as 30 years after Christ!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Gospel portrays Jesus in a way which the other Gospels didn't. A cheerful Master who laughs a lot while other Gospels seem to portray him as a rather serious person.  It also states &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt; as Jesus' beloved disciple, and was asked to "betray" Him to fulfill the prophecy and hence the Crucifixion. On top of that, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt; was also somewhat ostracized by the other apostles, perhaps because he was the only one who wasn't a Galilean or perhaps because he understood Jesus' teaching more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me, I feel that is the Son of God walks amongst us, I do believe He will be a cheerful figure, who teaches with love and laughs with us.

God made man with a conscience, that's where the essences of divinity came from. Should we look into our hearts and feel God from within, to be inspired by His Holy Spirit to do good?

They may not actually unleash their penises upon school girls, but their taste in how adult women dress up to look "small" are in fact evidences of their inner demons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sc9hJagOG1I/AAAAAAAABSQ/zzs7BA5ljrU/s1600-h/Japanese+Fashion+Girls.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 235px; height: 187px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sc9hJagOG1I/AAAAAAAABSQ/zzs7BA5ljrU/s320/Japanese+Fashion+Girls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318576499309026130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Here, we see Japanese girls walking the front line of fashion (or so they thought), constantly evolving into something too complicated for regular folks to comprehend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overdone makeups, unnatural colors, mismatch clothing from different time era, and to top it off, lion's mane hairdos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sc9i2QvcicI/AAAAAAAABSY/vWlUn5ZqJtI/s1600-h/Gothic+Lolita.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 173px; height: 260px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sc9i2QvcicI/AAAAAAAABSY/vWlUn5ZqJtI/s320/Gothic+Lolita.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318578369294272962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And when some really want to stand out of the crowd, they turned &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_Lolita"&gt;Gothic Lolita&lt;/a&gt; or perhaps even the J-rock style. These kind of dressing, in my opinion are absolute trash of fashion, pretty much like how much a rapper can contribute to the financial world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I doubt anyone will take you seriously, if you were to turn up for functions in those outfit. Yes it represents youth, originality or perhaps even the courage to be *different*, but I'm sorry, it's just not sexually attractive. Not to me at least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if you strip them down to underwear, these little skinny Asian girls will look like this :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sc9jnKGIVlI/AAAAAAAABSg/SukRF_ScBb8/s1600-h/Kawaii.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sc9jnKGIVlI/AAAAAAAABSg/SukRF_ScBb8/s320/Kawaii.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318579209323959890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I know the human mind is complicated, but I seriously cannot understand how any men, can find these specimens of immaturity sexually attractive. Unless, you are a pedo of coz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't ask me why but I have a HUGE weakness for thick girls. A thick girl is a girl who is average or slightly above average size.  However she is NOT fat. She is solid. She does not have excess fats but is not skinny either. A note that thick girls usually come with big boobs and ass (I am such an ass person).

I just realized Taiwan has a "black bread" which is blacker than the black bread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_charcoal"&gt;Bamboo charcoal&lt;/a&gt; is becoming quite a huge trend in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Uses of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_charcoal"&gt;bamboo charcoal&lt;/a&gt; includes but not limited to: cooking, deodorizing, water purification, food products and even clothing! Yes it was Taiwan's nanotechnology which bonded &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_charcoal"&gt;bamboo charcoal&lt;/a&gt; with silver to produce a very good textile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Scp89QMnmVI/AAAAAAAABR4/9Cx4z9G6Mtk/s1600-h/Bamboo+Charcoal+Bread+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 162px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Scp89QMnmVI/AAAAAAAABR4/9Cx4z9G6Mtk/s320/Bamboo+Charcoal+Bread+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317199701826050386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ok so I was strolling by this Taiwanese bakery by the name of Lavender, and saw this weird-looking bread. I couldn't help but read its introduction beside, and there it was - bamboo charcoal bread from Taiwan. Mind you, the pics aren't in black and white, the bread really is *that* black!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Scp-FeRsleI/AAAAAAAABSI/lVClBSMdGjE/s1600-h/Bamboo+Charcoal+Bread+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 158px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Scp-FeRsleI/AAAAAAAABSI/lVClBSMdGjE/s320/Bamboo+Charcoal+Bread+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317200942556026338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;First bite was quite a delighted surprise for something that looked so unappertizing!

In the clubs, guys buy girls drinks to strike a conversation and stuff. But what's really going on in their heads? Well seeing the world from a negative point of view, I think this is an era where good people are rare while assholes are all around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of guys try to impress girls by buying them drinks and showing off their cars, while a lot of girls knows that guys want them and that's why they try to squeeze every cent out of men.

I was down at the Russian embassy earlier, and was mistaken for a terrorist/spy or something along that line...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tatiana had to do a new passport so I was pulled erm... I mean *invited* to head to the embassy together... Upon arrival, there were no place to park, so I dropped her off at the entrance, and drove a little distance away to park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the embassy closes at 12 noon, so if anyone were to be at the gate by a minute pass 12, entrance will be refused. We arrived slightly before 12, but by the time I parked and walked over to the gate, it was slightly passed 12. I took out a cigarette and went on the phone while I waited across the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After an agonizing hour, Tati was still yet to be out. By this time, embassy officials were already taking notice of me and beginning to look outside to see what I was doing. It wasn't long before they started snapping pictures of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SY0t__IBclI/AAAAAAAABNI/k1Fu_RMCRc4/s1600-h/Russia+Flag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 160px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SY0t__IBclI/AAAAAAAABNI/k1Fu_RMCRc4/s320/Russia+Flag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299942913785033298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I thought it was fun so I started making weird hand signs and poses for their "photography" session. 5 minutes later, 3 Russian guys dressed like "men-in-black" came out and asked me  "Excuse me Sir, we're from the embassy security department and we noticed that you've been here for the past hour. Can we just know what are you doing?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well it's my first time here and I think it's a rather nice place, so I'm just looking around and surveying...", I replied with an evil grin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They looked so freak out and to ease the fear of those poor folks, I decided to be nice, "oh, I'm just waiting for someone inside to get her passport done, and was just surveying the place to make sure I don't get a parking ticket".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They asked for my name, and the name of the person inside the embassy before they returned inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are not going to believe what happened next... They went into the embassy waiting area, and began asking who's "Tatiana"! Moments later, Tati came out with a HUGE smile on her face, and said "You know, just now 2 guys came and asked me if I am Tatiana, and when I said yes, they asked if Christof was waiting for me. What evil things have you been doing again?!?!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I burst into laughter and told her the story. "OK terrorist, be nice to Russians!" she said before I managed to force  the translation of "Terrorist Christof" out of her - Террорист Кристоф&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SY0utPGPEzI/AAAAAAAABNQ/7L88fSN6aRA/s1600-h/Russian+Army+Ladies.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 193px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SY0utPGPEzI/AAAAAAAABNQ/7L88fSN6aRA/s320/Russian+Army+Ladies.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299943691166618418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; With an army of ladies like that, I can understand why the men sees me as a "terrorist".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-1011572376380357443?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/1011572376380357443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=1011572376380357443' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/1011572376380357443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/1011572376380357443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post.html' title='Террорист Кристоф'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SY0ts2JqV7I/AAAAAAAABNA/0iuXUP3wY_Y/s72-c/Russian+Embassy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-9064826022613257021</id><published>2009-02-01T14:55:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-01T15:11:57.848+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miscellaneous / Fun Posts'/><title type='text'>Sexiest Part of a Girl</title><content type='html'>Well the answer to "what is the sexiest part of a girl?" differs among individuals. Some guys say it's the tits, some will tell you the legs, some say the height and other hypocritical guys will tell you it's their eyes/lips/hair which in my point of view, is absolute bullshit. They probably just want to make themselves look like good and decent men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SYVIOn4VtnI/AAAAAAAABMQ/dudYh6oOfnk/s1600-h/Ass.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 196px; height: 239px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SYVIOn4VtnI/AAAAAAAABMQ/dudYh6oOfnk/s320/Ass.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297719952731911794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ok face it, at least I dare to come clean with the fact that I am no saint, and in my opinion, the answer to that question is not the eyes, not the lips and not even the hair. In short, I feel that the sexiest part of a girl is simply her ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe in one saying- "bones are for dogs, meat is for men.", hence I strongly believe that the bigger the ass, the sexier it gets. But hey, let me empathize this, I like big asses, NOT fat asses. "Big" and "fat" are 2 distinctly different things! And fat, is a HUGE turnoff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what makes a girl's ass so fascinating?

They say it's dangerous here coz you'll never know who the other person is. Don't show your pics, don't reveal your identity, don't give anyone else your cell number etc, etc... We've heard it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While this sounds logically correct, my insane mind worked its magic again and gave me some insights from another direction, prompting that this statement might be quite untrue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, on the internet, people's identities are hidden. With their identities under protection, people are free to reveal their worst side. Hidden dark fantasies, secret plans to get laid and even the simple plain assholes they really are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SYNAQCz0q6I/AAAAAAAABMA/EVA5_qN5WwQ/s1600-h/Fat+Pervert.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 146px; height: 188px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SYNAQCz0q6I/AAAAAAAABMA/EVA5_qN5WwQ/s320/Fat+Pervert.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297148231094152098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While people reveal their ugliest side on cyberspace thanks to identity protection, these same people, usually try their best to portray their best side in reality.

Total hypocrites pretending to act best they can as their identities are wide-opened in reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretentious hypocrites acting all holier-than-thou, I detest you.

I mean, how can any woman be attracted to a man, who is somewhat half man, half woman?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guy standing like 5'10, and weighs something like 110 lbs. This would probably not be the ideal man of choice amongst White girls, but Asian girls (especially Japanese) dig them! What can be more gay than that? I don't even know how it's possible for a guy to weigh below 135 lbs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps this got to do with the rising influences of the Japanese's standard of sexual attractiveness in Asia? To start it off, let's look at how the young minds wee being, well.. "educated" since youth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us have read comics, or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga"&gt;manga&lt;/a&gt; (Japanese) some point of time in our lives. In fact, I still am a big fan of X-Men. Guys in Western comics are usually well-built, manly and matured, while &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga"&gt;manga&lt;/a&gt; prefer to have their guys slender, young and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosexual"&gt;metrosexual&lt;/a&gt;: -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SUUzPBrbwYI/AAAAAAAABG4/-Ep78CdmSHM/s1600-h/Justice+League.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

I must empathize this: we are NOT a part of China. Fuck all who thinks that Taiwan is a part of PRC. You guys are just sucking on China's balls due to interest of commerce. Fuck you fuckers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taiwanese are subdivided into 3 castes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;原住民*&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_aborigine"&gt;Taiwanese aborigines&lt;/a&gt;*: They are native tribes that resided in the mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;本省人*First wave Han immigrants*: They are peasants and laborers who arrived in 1600s.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;外省人*Second wave Han immigrants*: They are warriors, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuomintang"&gt;KMT&lt;/a&gt; soldiers who came in 1949.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Personally, I am of the second wave immigrant (aka warrior caste) heritage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4,000 years ago, ancestors of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_aborigine"&gt;Taiwanese aborigines&lt;/a&gt; who were genetically &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesians"&gt;Polynesians&lt;/a&gt; settled on the island.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1544, a Portuguese ship sighted Taiwan and named it "Ilha Formasa", meaning "beautiful island". The Portuguese made no attempt to colonize Taiwan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1642, the Dutch established a commercial and military base in Taiwan. They began importing laborers from China, which were the ancestors of the First wave Han immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skipping all the LONG details, the Dutch were eventually chased out of Taiwan, then came the Japanese, who were also later chased out of Taiwan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SNp_HPgKuVI/AAAAAAAABFw/2YclAAdlLBg/s1600-h/KMT+march.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 198px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SNp_HPgKuVI/AAAAAAAABFw/2YclAAdlLBg/s320/KMT+march.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249648078050998610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Later, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuomintang"&gt;KMT&lt;/a&gt; and China Communists went to war twice due to different political beliefs. China apparently gained support from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ussr"&gt;USSR&lt;/a&gt; due to being their "brother" in communism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever it is, it is over and done with. Taiwan developed into what it is today without ANY help from China. The natives lived their own lives. The peasants farmed and harvested with their own hands, the warrior protected the country and fought with their own blood. What freaking right does China have to try to claim us as their own?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When all reasoning failed, they resorted to aiming 2000 missiles at us. This is absolute bully. With the world being materialistic and practical, China, the "awaken dragon" apparently gained much support from many countries due to commercial interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SNqA1hdAPQI/AAAAAAAABF4/dhb1UWSwXHM/s1600-h/Fuck+China.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 179px; height: 113px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/SNqA1hdAPQI/AAAAAAAABF4/dhb1UWSwXHM/s320/Fuck+China.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249649972655176962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Listen up people, comparing Taiwan to China, we eat different food, speak different languages, have different cultures, traditions, lifestyles and political/social beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it right if England were to claim USA as one of its own just because most Americans' ancestors came from England?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enough said.

The White guy took out his schlong displaying proudly a tattoo that say "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;HY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;" on it while he was peeing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Asian guy turned over, and asked: "What's &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the White guy said proudly, "It's for my wife."&lt;br /&gt;He started stroking his schlong and soon, fully erected, it reads "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;one&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the White guy noticed the Asian had a "&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;" tattooed on his dick too, so he asked: "You got a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;HY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; too? What does it says?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Asian replied, "it's for my wife too," and shyly proceed to stroke it and but reads only "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;e&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the Jamaican heared it all, "Guys look, I have a &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as well!", showing his black schlong proudly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Straining their eyes to see the ink on the black skin, the 2 finally managed to spot the tattoo. Indeed there was also &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;HY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, so they asked: "It's for your wife too?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jamaican said, "No, it's for my country!" Stroking it to full length, it read: "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;ello! Welcome to Jamaica! Enjoy your sta&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;...

My comeback fight after a 2 year holiday from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing"&gt;boxing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a real eye opener that for the past 2 years, many new fighters have come into the light and I must say, general standard of the sport has definitely increased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, luck must have been really against me that I happened to be matched up against one of the strongest and most experienced fighter in the competition, who is 5 kg heavier than my bodyweight. Oh well, so what's the big deal? I've fought bigger guys and more experienced athletes before. Same shit different day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His punches were hard, but honestly, they didn't do much damage to me. I am far from the strongest fighter, but truth to be known, I definitely rank amongst one of the toughest. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Being 'strong' and being 'tough' are 2 different things. Strength, in general means physical power and techniques, while toughness measures the ability to take hits and punishment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I got hit pretty hard a few times in the face and fell off my feet twice. Still I rebounced quickly every time and continued the fight. And honestly, my head didn't spin, my chin didn't hurt, my courage didn't decrease and my flame didn't die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My lips were cut and bleeding, but I look at the referee in the eye and told him to continue the fight even though he was persuading me to give up. What kind of referee encourages athletes to give up his fighting spirit? As my opponent threw a storm of hard punches into my face again, I took all without showing any signs of pain or fear, and returned him with my punches whenever possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Still, a game a is a game, and I lost this one. However, I lived up to my reputation of being the unknockable tough guy who doesn't fear pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Sports is like life, you win some and lose some.I gave my best but it wasn't enough. Though I lost the game, I won the respect and hearts of the people by displaying fighting spirit, courage and toughness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Credits to my opponent for displaying outstanding skills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to more training...

Brazilians don't go around bragging that they speak Portuguese, People in Mauritius (African country) don't go telling you how good they speak French. Every society needs a common language of communication and it just so happens that English is used in Singapore. So what?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are proficient in 3 or 4 distinct languages, then that’s something to be proud of. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;But if you are proud just because you can speak English, maybe you're just stucked in some time warp where people are still worshiping the colonial masters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-5910250310136404862?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/5910250310136404862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=5910250310136404862' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/5910250310136404862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/5910250310136404862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2008/04/singaporean-and-languages.html' title='Singaporean and Languages'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R_wyevtrICI/AAAAAAAAAsI/jMyaIfrFfEk/s72-c/Merlion.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-5753997968545305677</id><published>2008-03-13T06:20:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-21T20:36:07.677+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Top Favorites'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miscellaneous / Fun Posts'/><title type='text'>SG Complaints Choir Banned</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param value="http://youtube.com/v/x0ZY4Bn6q2s" name="movie"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://youtube.com/v/x0ZY4Bn6q2s" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Here's something rather interesting: The Singapore &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaints_Choir"&gt;Complaint Choir&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA) banned the all public performances of the choir just one day before the M1 Fringe Festival. Reason given was due to 6 members of the choir not being Singapore citizen, though they are living here permanently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, the choir conducted an invite-only performance to showcase their work, which I must say, proved to be rather refreshing. Anyway, here's the full lyrics (uncensored):-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;We get fined for almost anything&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Drivers won't give chance when you want to change lane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;The indoors are cold, the outdoors are hot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;And the humid air, it wrecks my hair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Those answering machines always make you hold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Only to hang up on you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;When a pregnant lady gets on the train&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Everyone pretends to be asleep&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I'm stuck with my parents till I'm 35&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Cause I can't apply for HDB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;We don't recycle any plastic bags&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;But we purify our pee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;*chorus:&lt;br /&gt;What's wrong with Singapore?&lt;br /&gt;Losing always makes me feel so sore&lt;br /&gt;Cause if you're not the best&lt;br /&gt;Then you're just one of the rest&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My oh my Singapore&lt;br /&gt;What exactly are we voting for?&lt;br /&gt;What's not expressly permitted&lt;br /&gt;is prohibited&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;"Ooh"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;When I'm hungry at the food court, I see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;People "chope" seats with their tissue paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;To the auntie staying upstairs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Your laundry's dripping on my bed sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Please don't squat on the toilet seats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;And don't clip your nails on MRT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Stray cats get into noisy affairs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;At night my neighbor makes weird animal sounds&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;People put on fake accents to sound posh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;And queue up 3 hours for donuts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Will I ever live till 85&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;to collect CPF?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;*chorus&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Singaporeans too kiasu!

By going on the paper and telling the whole nation about how a celebrity tried to court her, what else can she be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;If &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edison_Chen"&gt;Edison&lt;/a&gt; did invite her for an one night stand, wouldn't she have told the paper a long time ago before his recent sex scandal became the talk of town?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Considering &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_Yang"&gt;Dawn&lt;/a&gt;'s erm.. interest to hang out with celebrities, and with one who looks like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edison_Chen"&gt;Edison&lt;/a&gt;, I doubt she'll reject him...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Most likely, I doubt &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edison_Chen"&gt;Edison&lt;/a&gt; even know &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_Yang"&gt;Dawn&lt;/a&gt;'s existence, perhaps she's just taking this opportunity to ride on the wave to shoot herself to fame? Maybe everything's just like her face - FAKE.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;As far as I can remember, she was supposed to be brought to Taiwan to become an artiste. Being a Taiwanese myself, I wonder why neither myself nor my friends have heard of her. Now back in Singapore with her &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"career"&lt;/span&gt; ended before it even began, she's been "degraded" to a mere model, who has to queue up and attend casting interview like all others for advertiser's selection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R8RnHc0lZCI/AAAAAAAAAp8/qx34jmwJoh4/s1600-h/Dawn+Basketball+Head.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 152px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R8RnHc0lZCI/AAAAAAAAAp8/qx34jmwJoh4/s320/Dawn+Basketball+Head.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171371649821664290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I've seen &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_Yang"&gt;Dawn&lt;/a&gt; before in real life, and seriously, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;her face is almost as wide as a basketball&lt;/span&gt;!

ended up on &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=1866645"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THIS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;(&lt;-click for link)&lt;/span&gt; forum. Seems like one forum member read my post recently and in turn, put up a link to my blog on the forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First I would like to thank user "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;MrBananaman&lt;/span&gt;" for his kind effort to conduct advertisement for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not a member of the said forum, but decided to take a look out of curiosity. Apparently, most people generally agree with me that &lt;a href="http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/09/sun-ho-hypocrite.html"&gt;City Harvest Church&lt;/a&gt;, is a bad representation of Christianity and that &lt;a href="http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/09/sun-ho-hypocrite.html"&gt;Sun Ho&lt;/a&gt;, gave the public a very bad impression of servants of faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A reader called "&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Slipknot&lt;/span&gt;" of the previously-mentioned forum also commented that I am unworthy to be called a Christian due to my excessive use of the word "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;FUCK&lt;/span&gt;". I must say, this user, is a not only a typical narrow-minded individual but also one who debates out of point. His post can be found &lt;a href="http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=1866645&amp;amp;page=5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HERE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;(&lt;-click for link)&lt;/span&gt;, just scroll down to the lower half of the page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R7ShDc0lYrI/AAAAAAAAAnI/VRUP6Dfk_D0/s1600-h/Middle+Finger+Fuck.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R7ShDc0lYrI/AAAAAAAAAnI/VRUP6Dfk_D0/s320/Middle+Finger+Fuck.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166931753149227698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;What's the point of pretending to be holier-than-thou in your speech and behavior, when you're plain rotten inside? What's wrong with being honest and agitated when hypocrites are distorting truth and leading others on a wrong path?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Vulgarities are a form of expressions, so live with it, narrow-minded folks! Being a Christian doesn't mean being banned from such expression. It means to be with God, to learn and understand His truth and to share His love. And &lt;a href="http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/09/sun-ho-hypocrite.html"&gt;hypocrites&lt;/a&gt; are obviously using His name to lead people on the wrong path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. In my &lt;a href="http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/09/sun-ho-hypocrite.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;, my point was about Sun Ho being a hypocrite to practice what she preached against. But "&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Slipknot&lt;/span&gt;" debated about many other Christians being singers. Nobody is against Christians becoming singers, we are against Sun Ho the hypocrite for various things she did. Oh well, he went totally out of point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;I'm not a racist and I'm not trying to get religious here, but which would you call a TRUE Muslim? A foul-mouthed one who is fighting against the terrorists, or a terrorist who acts holy and kill misusing the name of Allah?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As advised by a friend, I should take a softer approach and as a servant of faith myself, I should avoid using vulgarities. However, I hate pretending, I am the real me, and I am no saint. I serve God with all my heart and I do not hate these hypocrites, but I am against them.

Though Singapore's standard of English is pretty much above most, if not all of its Asian counterparts, being a multi-racial society has caused it to adopt too many descriptive terms from various languages into its English usage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R6i-fcXxOdI/AAAAAAAAAmA/1a4FNV_K8CY/s1600-h/Soccer.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 183px; height: 183px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R6i-fcXxOdI/AAAAAAAAAmA/1a4FNV_K8CY/s320/Soccer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163586420181383634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Now, why do I say &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Singapore is no better&lt;/span&gt;? Ok, here's an example, and a close-to-life one: Most Singaporeans love watching &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_%28soccer%29"&gt;soccer&lt;/a&gt;, after every major game, everyone passes remarks of how lousy players played, how badly the team performed and probably how stupid the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referee"&gt;referee&lt;/a&gt; had been too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in reference to their hypocritical statement earlier &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;"Who is Taiwan to criticize us when their English standard is lower than our?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, should I in return tell Singaporeans &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;"Who are you to criticize the professionals when you are nothing?"&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have a right to form their own opinions and comment freely.

Instilling the wrong idea that a worth of a person can be judged materially, many girls grow up to look for "qualities" in a person, rather than simply following their hearts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qualities, as I mentioned can be categorize vaguely into 3:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Looks&lt;/span&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wealth&lt;/span&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Character&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;I actually did some intensive surveys to determine which, do most women prioritize, and it is no surprise that people change as they age and go through different experiences in life. The result clearly this point:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Females age 18 and below: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:Red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Looks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Purple;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Wealth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Females age 18-30&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Wealth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Looks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Purple;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Females after 30&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Purple;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Character&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;Wealth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:Red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Looks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5yePcXxOYI/AAAAAAAAAlY/RGJDGRIPjgw/s1600-h/Housewife.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 263px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5yePcXxOYI/AAAAAAAAAlY/RGJDGRIPjgw/s320/Housewife.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160173261210859906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Men are not spared from the instilling the idea of quality searching either, but what males want, are relatively simpler. They generally want pretty, hot girls who are good on bed during dating, but when it comes to marriage, they want a virgin wife. They like intelligent women but hopes that their wives are dumb. They don't want their spouse to be spending their money, but would prefer if their wives devote to homemaking full time. Contradicting yeah?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe the idea of having a woman with equal (or more) sexual experience, intelligence and earning ability scares Asian men off?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well remember, all information stated on this post &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ONLY&lt;/span&gt; speaks on a general basis.

Idols pop out overnight, sell a few albums to make some millions bucks and fans soon go after newer idols. This is just like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s"&gt;McDonald's&lt;/a&gt;, producing their burgers in fast pace, crowd gathers and leave after they've had their fill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most disturbing thing is the quality of their songs. It's pretty much on the same level as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s"&gt;McDonald's&lt;/a&gt; burger; cheap, fast but no real quality. After being in the Chinese entertainment industry for God knows how long, I've long realized that the best songs were produced in the 90's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that I've got anything against songs from earlier times, but if you've heard songs from the 70's or early 80's, you'll probably agree with me on how monotonously light-hearted the musics are and the cheesy lyrics that revolves around the beauty of life; not to forget that they are 99% of the time, played with just one instrument.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Music from the 90's was an entire different era that marked the beginning of a new trend. Songs comprising modern music played by multiple instruments, and sentimental lyrics written in somewhat poetic way were made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5dwisXxOUI/AAAAAAAAAk0/1hhGqzfaAuQ/s1600-h/Jacky+Cheung.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 167px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5dwisXxOUI/AAAAAAAAAk0/1hhGqzfaAuQ/s320/Jacky+Cheung.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158715639504910658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;For instance, one of my person favorites: *&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;別問&lt;/span&gt;* (Don't ask) by "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacky_Cheung"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;張學友&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacky_Cheung"&gt;Jacky Cheung&lt;/a&gt;), not only that its music was perfectly sentimental, giving listeners a mixed feeling of sorrow and love, the lyrics were written in a classy yet comprehensive manner with what we call "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;内涵&lt;/span&gt;" (vaguely translated as deep "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connotation"&gt;Connotation&lt;/a&gt;").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sentence from its lyrics, meaning "Don't ask if it's right to dwell in my old dreams, and if I will be doing that" written in Chinese "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;別問魂縈舊夢對不對，也別問我會不會&lt;/span&gt;".

Most people barely even remember they existed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hey, the exact same people who have forgotten these songs, actually remember, and most likely know how to sing songs like "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;練習&lt;/span&gt;", "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;吻別&lt;/span&gt;" and "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;單生情歌&lt;/span&gt;" from the good old 90's. So why do people not get sick of songs more than a decade old, but get bored of songs that barely hit 3 years? It bottoms down to the impact the songs give them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well not everything's negative for sure. Personally, I don't dislike &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Chou"&gt;Jay's&lt;/a&gt; music. He's talented in composing music which blends multiple instruments, but honestly, his lyrics lack major&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connotation"&gt;connotation&lt;/a&gt; at times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5dvKMXxOTI/AAAAAAAAAks/K7rJCWkEPFY/s1600-h/Boyband+Fahrenheit+%28Taiwan+Gays%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 242px; height: 179px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5dvKMXxOTI/AAAAAAAAAks/K7rJCWkEPFY/s320/Boyband+Fahrenheit+%28Taiwan+Gays%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158714119086487858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;While I'm rather positive towards talented artistes such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Chou"&gt;Jay&lt;/a&gt;, I am hostile to some.

You'll also be surprised that a huge handful assume that the catholic denomination believes in Mary, instead of Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well here's some proper knowledge for non-Christians:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALL Christians, despite of denominations and sects (catholic/protestant/anglican/eastern orthodox), believe in God.

Each one is distinct from the other two, yet one with them. The 3 Persons are equal in every way, with one nature and  being one substance: 3 Divine Persons, but only one God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;God the Father&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;Creator of the universe &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;a.k.a.&lt;/span&gt; Jehovah, Yahweh, etc. By far the most straight forward to explain in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity"&gt;Trinity&lt;/a&gt;. He is the Almighty creator who sits on His throne in heaven and oversees the world eternally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;God the Son&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;a.k.a.&lt;/span&gt; The Redeemer, Messiah, Lamb of God, etc. God who came into earth in human flesh. His role is to die for our sin so we may gain salvation. He is also the one who would return to judge the world by fire during apocalypse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;God the Holy Spirit (or Ghost)&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;Often represented by a dove in art. Perhaps the most difficult to explain in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity"&gt;Trinity&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;a.k.a.&lt;/span&gt; The Comforter, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*Angel*&lt;/span&gt; of the Lord, Spirit of God, etc. His is basically the spiritual link between man and God, guiding us to become better people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example I can think of is this: A monitor, a CPU and a keyboard. They are different from one another, yet come together to form a computer. Without one part, a computer would not be a computer anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5NY0LWN9FI/AAAAAAAAAj0/z0EslnLx7Z0/s1600-h/Trinity+Painting.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 269px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5NY0LWN9FI/AAAAAAAAAj0/z0EslnLx7Z0/s320/Trinity+Painting.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157563651691770962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The word &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"trinity"&lt;/span&gt; is never found anywhere in the bible, hence some argued that it is not a biblical doctrine. But the absence of a term used to describe a doctrine does not necessarily mean it is not biblical. No man can fully explain the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity"&gt;Trinity&lt;/a&gt;, though in every age scholars have propounded theories and advanced hypotheses to explore this mystery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But just because we can't explain something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After all, isn't God's existence beyond human comprehension in the first place?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-7131201612843830455?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/7131201612843830455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=7131201612843830455' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/7131201612843830455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/7131201612843830455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2008/01/holy-trinity.html' title='Holy Trinity'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R5NTbLWN9DI/AAAAAAAAAjk/LaKimuMYVOA/s72-c/Holy+Trinity+2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-3848296764970627692</id><published>2008-01-11T19:18:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-14T15:45:45.018+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christof&apos;s Life'/><title type='text'>Business 2007</title><content type='html'>2008, a new year filled with countless possibilities which even I, a pessimist, am hopeful about...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2007 was a year of stability, with nothing particularly eventful, unlike 2006 which was a total shit. 2006 put a whole new meaning to bad business.

Intensively modified Japanese cars to mimic the “sporty” look with stickers pasted all over. Most of the time, an Ah Beng is a gang-banger, or at least has some form of friendship or association with street gangs. They are also noted to date girls who are much younger in age so as to feed their dominating ego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite being viewed as a social eyesore to many, they are not totally without good. Most Ah Bengs show &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_piety"&gt;filial piety&lt;/a&gt;, unlike those highly educated assholes who kick their parents out. They tend to make good friends as they usually don’t walk out on friends in times of need. In some instances, they also prove to be better boyfriends since they seem to bring their girlfriends everywhere they go, unlike those “Kandang” clubbers who flirt around outside their relationship.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-6026760505962867797?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/6026760505962867797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=6026760505962867797' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/6026760505962867797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/6026760505962867797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/12/ah-bengs.html' title='Ah Bengs'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R3J-SbWN8uI/AAAAAAAAAg8/7WSiVx1m0v4/s72-c/Ah+Bengs.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-3084134870986227986</id><published>2007-12-16T23:03:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-02T00:11:05.010+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Top Favorites'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><title type='text'>White Lies</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R2U_nbWN8iI/AAAAAAAAAfc/XacP64lLC5E/s1600-h/Jesus+Christ.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144588095929053730" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 173px; cursor: pointer; height: 191px;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R2U_nbWN8iI/AAAAAAAAAfc/XacP64lLC5E/s320/Jesus+Christ.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Jesus Christ, a.k.a.

They were generally brown-skinned and the languages they spoke included Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic (Jesus' native language).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Ham&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;'s descendants became the various &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro"&gt;Black&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; people who settled down in the African continent and parts of the Arabian peninsula.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Japheth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;'s descendants settled in Anatolia, modern Turkey, and from there moved into the Caucasus mountains of Western Russia and from there settled Europe and Russia.

To hide the baby Christ, His family fled to Eqypt. But pre-Arab Egypt was a dark-skinned society (as evident in hieroglyphs). Wouldn't it be foolish for a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people"&gt;white&lt;/a&gt; family to hide a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people"&gt;white&lt;/a&gt; baby in a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro"&gt;black&lt;/a&gt; society? Who the hell were they going to cheat?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Romans were trying to capture Jesus, they needed Judah to kiss Him as a form of identification. If Jesus were fair-skinned, then He would have stood out among the dark-skinned people. Wouldn't that be obvious enough? Why was an identification needed?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Scientific Aspect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In April 2001, a research was conducted by a team sponsored by BBC.

For those not living in civilized societies, I guess you guys would perhaps call it fighting or maybe the way of life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well basically &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing"&gt;boxing&lt;/a&gt; is a prehistoric caveman sport, like what my girlfriend says, I don't deny it. But it's not as simple as putting 2 crazy dudes in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_ring"&gt;ring&lt;/a&gt; and make them beat the shit out of each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No two boxers fight in identical style. A boxer's style starts off with what he is being taught or has picked up in practice but gradually evolves with experiences and preferences to suit himself. Nonetheless, many terms are used which broadly to classify them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allow me to introduce some boxing styles:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16EmackeII/AAAAAAAAAec/DpiL2H_bV-g/s1600-h/Boxing+-+Outfighter.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142693619972733058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 243px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 181px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16EmackeII/AAAAAAAAAec/DpiL2H_bV-g/s320/Boxing+-+Outfighter.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;Out-Fighter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Classic boxers who maintains distance between themselves and their opponent. They throw faster, longer range punches, most notably the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jab"&gt;jab&lt;/a&gt;. These boxers control the fight by using their &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jab"&gt;jabs&lt;/a&gt; to keep their opponent at range, and using fast footwork to evade any opponent that closes in. They are often regarded as the best boxing strategists due to their ability to control the pace of the fight by wearing their opponents down gradually while exhibiting more skill and finesse. Out-fighters tend to win by decision or points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16EmqckeJI/AAAAAAAAAek/T0P2cV2TuM0/s1600-h/Boxing+-+Cross.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142693624267700370" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 245px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16EmqckeJI/AAAAAAAAAek/T0P2cV2TuM0/s320/Boxing+-+Cross.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;Boxer-Puncher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A boxer-puncher is an out-fighter who has heavy fire power in his punches. They use the same hit-and-move tactics of an out-fighter, but instead of winning by decision, they tend to wear their opponents down before scoring the knockout. For a fighter who uses this style to be effective, he needs to have good footwork, stamina, endurance, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jab"&gt;jabs&lt;/a&gt; and/or leads, and good speed and power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16EmqckeKI/AAAAAAAAAes/j7Bsjn00Hew/s1600-h/Boxing+-+Hook.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142693624267700386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 178px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 237px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16EmqckeKI/AAAAAAAAAes/j7Bsjn00Hew/s320/Boxing+-+Hook.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;Slugger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A slugger is basically one who goes berserk in the ring throwing a storm of punches and going all out on offense with little or no defense. Many sluggers tend to lack mobility and have difficulty pursuing fighters who are fast on their feet. They prefer a more stable stance from which they may throw the harder, slower punches and tend to drop combinations. They may also have a tendency to load up on their punches by pulling back the arm before throwing the punch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16ImKckeLI/AAAAAAAAAe0/hWiD3E1HJtE/s1600-h/Boxing+-+Uppercut.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142698013724276914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 241px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 201px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16ImKckeLI/AAAAAAAAAe0/hWiD3E1HJtE/s320/Boxing+-+Uppercut.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;In-Fighter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;In-fighters stay close to their opponent, throwing intense flurries and combinations of &lt;a title="Hook (boxing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_(boxing)"&gt;hooks&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppercut"&gt;uppercuts&lt;/a&gt;. A successful in-fighter needs a good "&lt;a title="Chin (boxing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chin_(boxing)"&gt;chin&lt;/a&gt;" because this usually involves being hit with many &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jab"&gt;jabs&lt;/a&gt; before they can maneuver close to the opponents. In-fighters are generally shorter and has less reach than his opponents, thus being most effective in a close distance where the longer arms of their opponents make punching awkward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16ImackeMI/AAAAAAAAAe8/EXtoAwq9UyU/s1600-h/Bob-and-Weave.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142698018019244226" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 208px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R16ImackeMI/AAAAAAAAAe8/EXtoAwq9UyU/s320/Bob-and-Weave.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;Bob-and-Weave Fighter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since in-fighters are generally short, many utilize their stature to their advantage, employing a bob-and-weave style by bending at the waist to slip underneath or to the sides of incoming punches. Unlike blocking, evading an opponent's punches disrupts his balance and permits a counter before his extended arm is being pulled back. Some bob-and-weave fighters have been known for being notoriously hard to hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, which style do I belong to?

In fact, they don't even know its official name. "Coat", "robe" or whatever you call it, is actually called a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassock"&gt;cassock&lt;/a&gt;. Repeat after me, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassock"&gt;CASSOCK&lt;/a&gt;... And the white "thing" around the neck is simply called a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_collar"&gt;clerical collar&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let me introduce you the various types of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassock"&gt;cassocks&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_collar"&gt;collars&lt;/a&gt;. First, we'll go into the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassock"&gt;cassock&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R1lVy6ckd8I/AAAAAAAAAc8/q8Ulju1tHNM/s1600-h/Roman+Cassock.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141234782791038914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 112px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 239px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R1lVy6ckd8I/AAAAAAAAAc8/q8Ulju1tHNM/s320/Roman+Cassock.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_catholic"&gt;Roman&lt;/a&gt; cassocks are usually single-breasted with a series of buttons down the front. Traditionally, a cassock has 33 buttons to signify the number of years in&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus"&gt; Jesus&lt;/a&gt;' earthly life. In today's context, it is NOT necessary to have a specific number of buttons. However, most still choose to have a number that has certain religious significants (eg. 12 buttons to represent the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_apostles"&gt;12 apostles&lt;/a&gt;).

Strangely, a lot of parents, especially Asian ones have adopted the same theory, to encase their kids in a parental &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse"&gt;greenhouse&lt;/a&gt; overprotectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most would argue it's natural parental instinct to protect their offspring, while other would say it's just the right values of humanity, but personally, I agree with an age old saying in this context:- "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;what does not kill you, make you stronger"&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many would assume that being the only son (in marriage) to pretty &lt;a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/well-to-do"&gt;well-to-do&lt;/a&gt; parents, I would receiving all the doting and protection. On the &lt;a href="http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/contrary"&gt;contrary&lt;/a&gt;, I actually received more hardship in my younger days than most people do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like a lion that cast its cub over the cliff in an extreme test of survival, my folks believe in another age old Asian saying: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"doting your child is equivalent to killing him"&lt;/span&gt;. Hence being the only son and therefore naturally shouldering high expectations, I was put through very difficult trials throughout my youth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I don't hate my folks for that, on the &lt;a href="http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/contrary"&gt;contrary&lt;/a&gt; once again, I'm actually thankful that they didn't make me into a spoiled brad. Looks at those whom at 30, enjoying luxurious lives but still doesn't literally *owning* anything... Their cars are bought by their folks, and they probably can't even fend for themselves if their parents didn't exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm not being &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadistic"&gt;sadistic&lt;/a&gt; to encourage parents to torture their children just because I had a tough childhood. But what I'm saying is, the world is a cruel place, overprotected kids usually grow up to become dependent adults, always expecting things to be easy and freaks out when things don't go their way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R0ksH76K7yI/AAAAAAAAAcc/fuBWaNY80vI/s1600-h/Jesus+Loves+Kids.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/R0ksH76K7yI/AAAAAAAAAcc/fuBWaNY80vI/s320/Jesus+Loves+Kids.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136685364845145890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Jesus loves kids (and everyone else), but does He shield them from everything in the world?

I can explain the pain of a fall, but you'll never understanding until you actually fell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please don't deprive your children of their opportunity to live their life, to climb up after falling down, to grow stronger through pain and to learn to become better people through errors.

He's a hardcore old school &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing"&gt;boxer&lt;/a&gt;, who does not believe in the modern sports science. His theory is old school: hard work, and more HARD work despite injuries...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say, apart from being a good fighter himself, he's really good at pushing others to their limits too. I can't even remember how many &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_up"&gt;push ups&lt;/a&gt; I did, how many punches I threw at the bag and now many miles I actually ran in one session alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result of my recent trainings with him? Stronger/faster punches and better endurance, severe muscle aches and a right &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus"&gt;humerus&lt;/a&gt; that went slightly out-of-place from the shoulder socket...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from the inability lift my right arm, having problems bending the arm close to my mouth during eating/smoking, severe pain throughout the day and even during sleep, I am still, pretty much alive...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-496511092303768419?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/496511092303768419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=496511092303768419' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/496511092303768419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/496511092303768419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/11/ouch.html' title='Ouch...'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-833069938263233088</id><published>2007-11-07T00:33:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-02T00:11:05.010+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paranormal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miscellaneous / Fun Posts'/><title type='text'>Ancient Aircraft</title><content type='html'>During my studies into the paranormal and unexplained, I came across this topic which I think would be interesting to share:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is an authentic photos of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphs"&gt;hieroglyphs&lt;/a&gt; found in a New Kingdom Temple located at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abydos,_Egypt"&gt;Abydos, Egypt&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RzCc17l9C4I/AAAAAAAAAaE/_Jg1Ehvbn80/s1600-h/Hieroglyphs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RzCc17l9C4I/AAAAAAAAAaE/_Jg1Ehvbn80/s320/Hieroglyphs.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129772425918876546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So do you see something modern and familiar?

Some may have done so in their teens, while perhaps more... erm... "slower" ones did so only after entering adulthood (which I think is rare).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway the point is, if you compare &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_in_the_United_States"&gt;American porn&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_in_Japan"&gt;Japanese ones&lt;/a&gt;, the first thing you'll notice is probably the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubic_hair"&gt;pubes&lt;/a&gt; of the girls. In western culture, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_removal#Social.2C_cultural.2C_or_sexual_reasons"&gt;shaving of pubic hair&lt;/a&gt; is common for hygiene and personal grooming reasons and perhaps also considered a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_arousal"&gt;sexual arousal&lt;/a&gt;. However, Japanese for some reason, seem to possess resentment against it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some photos of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn_stars"&gt;porn stars&lt;/a&gt; from different region for your reference:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japanese porn stars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsAaQUp4uI/AAAAAAAAAZY/sHdJfgtkUzE/s1600-h/Megumi+Osawa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 111px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsAaQUp4uI/AAAAAAAAAZY/sHdJfgtkUzE/s320/Megumi+Osawa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123689452122268386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsAagUp4vI/AAAAAAAAAZg/84Ehw8NL8lg/s1600-h/Anna+Ohura.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 139px; height: 182px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsAagUp4vI/AAAAAAAAAZg/84Ehw8NL8lg/s320/Anna+Ohura.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123689456417235698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Now the Western ones..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsBEQUp4wI/AAAAAAAAAZo/NXQ1WcgS3QU/s1600-h/Shaved+Blonde.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 111px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsBEQUp4wI/AAAAAAAAAZo/NXQ1WcgS3QU/s320/Shaved+Blonde.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123690173676774146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsBEQUp4xI/AAAAAAAAAZw/DWxBtTc5wyI/s1600-h/Shaved+Pussy+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 121px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsBEQUp4xI/AAAAAAAAAZw/DWxBtTc5wyI/s320/Shaved+Pussy+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123690173676774162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that puts a picture to my words :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well after some research and discussion with Japaneses, I think perhaps I've found the reason for this... erm... "phenomenon" . In Japan, people love bathing in natural hot springs called &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsen"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;onsen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;".&lt;/span&gt; When others, especially older and more conservative fellow bathers see a girl with shaved pubes, they usually associate her with indecency as it is a common trademark of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitute"&gt;prostitutes&lt;/a&gt; in their culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, I can never understand this explanation... I mean &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn_stars"&gt;porn stars&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;ARE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitute"&gt;prostitutes&lt;/a&gt; in a way, just that they do it with specific people on screen. It's not of any better decency after all...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most importantly, girls with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubic_hair"&gt;pubes&lt;/a&gt; on screen is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;MAJOR&lt;/span&gt; turn off according to my taste... *pukes*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-1021564080540596411?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/1021564080540596411/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=1021564080540596411' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/1021564080540596411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/1021564080540596411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/10/pubic-property.html' title='&quot;Pubic&quot; Property'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxsAaQUp4uI/AAAAAAAAAZY/sHdJfgtkUzE/s72-c/Megumi+Osawa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-943012291503474338</id><published>2007-10-14T20:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-02T00:09:48.296+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paranormal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miscellaneous / Fun Posts'/><title type='text'>Mars Life Evidences</title><content type='html'>Little green men, squid-like creatures or even flying saucers that shoots laser beams... We've heard them all and seen even more on Hollywood. Here's a more realistic look on possible lifeform on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars"&gt;Mars&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;evidences are from official sources, and are NOT edited&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; Some pictures were rotated or zoomed providing a clearer view but their original contents were NOT altered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIIMgUp4eI/AAAAAAAAAXY/qwBTaW2KePc/s1600-h/Mars-Face2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 172px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIIMgUp4eI/AAAAAAAAAXY/qwBTaW2KePc/s320/Mars-Face2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121164737201693154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;[Face on Mars]&lt;/span&gt; -We've heard about it and seen it on pics and videos, the images of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_Mensae"&gt;Cydonia Mensae&lt;/a&gt; sent back by the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_Orbiter"&gt;Viking Orbiter&lt;/a&gt; in 1976. Yet scientists came up with big theories which laymen cannot understand to cover up the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They claimed that it is a natural terrain that under specific lighting conditions, such optical illusions were formed. Now, I'm not even gonna post up the picture they CLAIMED the "face" truly looks like. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;"true"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; pic doesn't even look half as close to this one.&lt;/span&gt; I think they are probably insulting everybody's intelligence. Many people asked me, why didn't &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasa"&gt;NASA&lt;/a&gt; just simply blank out the area with photo effects, well simple - the image was sent back in 1976, do you think Photoshop was available like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_eleven"&gt;7-eleven&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the chances for such a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrical"&gt;symmetrical&lt;/a&gt; structure with clear &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric"&gt;geometric&lt;/a&gt; shapes to be formed under natural coincidences? Experts have calculated the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;chances are like 1000 billion billions to 1&lt;/span&gt;. Why didn't &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasa"&gt;NASA&lt;/a&gt; bother to do a replication of the event here on earth for everyone to witness the power of coincidence? Because they know that it is impossible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at the full view of the area where the "face" lies, anything you see similar to it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIKJAUp4fI/AAAAAAAAAXg/dqIzGoHkdcM/s1600-h/Mars-Face1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 179px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIKJAUp4fI/AAAAAAAAAXg/dqIzGoHkdcM/s320/Mars-Face1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121166876095406578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIQZwUp4hI/AAAAAAAAAXw/yh7CSnyjL-s/s1600-h/Mars-Tube1.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 237px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIQZwUp4hI/AAAAAAAAAXw/yh7CSnyjL-s/s320/Mars-Tube1.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121173760927982098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Next comes something really interesting - &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;[Transparent "Tubes" or "Tunnels"]&lt;/span&gt;. They were discovered in 2007 by non-&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA"&gt;NASA&lt;/a&gt; researchers who analyzed over 20,000 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Global_Surveyor"&gt;MGS&lt;/a&gt; photos. These "tubes" run throughout several areas on the planet in a complex system, sometimes even inter-connecting. Judging from the light patterns on the photos, photo experts have concluded that it is safe to say these "tubes" are transparent or at least translucent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till date, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA"&gt;NASA&lt;/a&gt; has &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;provided NO explanations for these "structures".&lt;/span&gt; It seems like they have ignored all questions from the public altogether. Perhaps they're having a meeting right now on how to explain such "structure" to be another act of natural coincidence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And even if they do come up with some BIG theories again, how are they going to explain the light orb within one &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;[Tube]&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIRVgUp4iI/AAAAAAAAAX4/7tg6mAfl7bE/s1600-h/Mars-Tunnel2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 184px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIRVgUp4iI/AAAAAAAAAX4/7tg6mAfl7bE/s320/Mars-Tunnel2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121174787425165858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxISnAUp4jI/AAAAAAAAAYA/1_Dvx1DghQU/s1600-h/Mars-Crowned-Face.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 179px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxISnAUp4jI/AAAAAAAAAYA/1_Dvx1DghQU/s320/Mars-Crowned-Face.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121176187584504370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Just when we thought the face saga of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars"&gt;Mars&lt;/a&gt; was over, here comes &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;another "face" discovered on another location&lt;/span&gt; outside &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_Mensae"&gt;Cydonia&lt;/a&gt;! This one however, looks slightly different as compared to the previous one. For easy reference, we call it &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;[The Crowned Face]&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it getting a little way too coincidental? If it really is pure coincidence, I think Mars is even luckier than a lottery winner! Probably the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personification"&gt;personification&lt;/a&gt; of planet Mars can hit the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackpot"&gt;jackpot&lt;/a&gt; of all machines in one night, and perhaps also win every card game if he visits &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas%2C_Nevada"&gt;Vegas&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a copy of the "crowned" with colors added to give you a clearer picture. However, I must stress that ONLY colors were added, there are NO editing:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIUQgUp4kI/AAAAAAAAAYI/QU3jtSgCMTw/s1600-h/Mars-Crowned-Face2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIUQgUp4kI/AAAAAAAAAYI/QU3jtSgCMTw/s320/Mars-Crowned-Face2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121178000060703298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let's go back to something a little more familiar to Earth's context. Scientists claimed that Mars is a red desert, but somehow pictures say otherwise. Here are some pics of possible &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;[Vegetations]&lt;/span&gt; on Mars South Polar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIWVgUp4lI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/aZ_NVQmle5g/s1600-h/Mars-Forest1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 198px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIWVgUp4lI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/aZ_NVQmle5g/s320/Mars-Forest1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121180284983304786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Original view from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Global_Surveyor"&gt;MGS&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIWVwUp4mI/AAAAAAAAAYY/WflvY8PLpmo/s1600-h/Mars-Forest2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 197px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIWVwUp4mI/AAAAAAAAAYY/WflvY8PLpmo/s320/Mars-Forest2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121180289278272098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue"&gt;Hue&lt;/a&gt; added and rotated 68 degrees clockwise,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIWWAUp4nI/AAAAAAAAAYg/muNO9wDfTec/s1600-h/Mars-Forest3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 195px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIWWAUp4nI/AAAAAAAAAYg/muNO9wDfTec/s320/Mars-Forest3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121180293573239410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Zooming in to the top right portion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now does it look familiar? Of course, green was added to provide a more familiar color to vegetation. But considering that Mars has a different environment to Earth, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;scientists believe plants can have color ranging from copper to red instead of the regular green they have here on Earth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's also a possible specie of gigantic Martian plant in this pic taken from the top of Mars South Polar.

Here is a pic of my personal favorite area &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_Mensae"&gt;Cydonia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxInWAUp4rI/AAAAAAAAAZA/AMWQBvD6Bkw/s1600-h/Mars-Pyramids.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 184px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxInWAUp4rI/AAAAAAAAAZA/AMWQBvD6Bkw/s320/Mars-Pyramids.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121198985270911666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Once again, we can see the "Face of Mars" on the top right corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIpLgUp4sI/AAAAAAAAAZI/RUC1sRYXE9M/s1600-h/Mars-vs-Giza.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 164px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RxIpLgUp4sI/AAAAAAAAAZI/RUC1sRYXE9M/s320/Mars-vs-Giza.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121201003905540802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This brought about a shocking comparison between the "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramids"&gt;pyramids&lt;/a&gt;" on Mars and that of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giza"&gt;Giza&lt;/a&gt; on Earth. Again, without a doubt, scientists have explained the similarities to be coincidence. I mean, are there really SO many coincidences in the world? If the possibilities of two places on different plants being so similar, should we be seeing people who look almost exactly like us all the time?

Since most Singaporeans are mass produced cook-cutters from the factory, potential &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigrants"&gt;emigrants&lt;/a&gt; naturally suffered a lot of prejudice and discrimination from the rest of the brain-washed population with no individuality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I don't see why &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigrants"&gt;emigrants&lt;/a&gt; should be discriminated. Everyone has the freedom to decided where they want to live. Now, don't think I love Singapore. As a matter of fact, I'm against a lot of policies the Singapore government set. I don't like the way they handle politics, I don't like the way they handle people and to summarize it: I don't like them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some reasons why people might want to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigrants"&gt;emigrate&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The welfare of the people should not be sacrificed for the rapid growth of the economy. Imagine you're old, sick and dying, you're unable to work and medical bills are too high. On top of it, you're in a country with no &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_safety_net"&gt;social safety net&lt;/a&gt;. Don't talk about saving while you're young, honestly do you want to slave your ass off during your prime, and keep every single cent? That's pretty impossible, let alone in a country whereby cost of living is sky high.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;To be able to participate in a civil society. People should have the primary influences in the running of the country. Civil servants should serve the citizens, not lord over us and push us around.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;To live in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy"&gt;democracy&lt;/a&gt;, not &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy"&gt;oligarchy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;To have a free media without &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship"&gt;censorship&lt;/a&gt; of the government so that we can truly know the world instead of knowing only what they want us to know.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;To actually be a property owner and not a technical &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leasehold"&gt;leaseholder&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RvlPZQUp4YI/AAAAAAAAAWo/zzxBITkfeyU/s1600-h/Democracy1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 197px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RvlPZQUp4YI/AAAAAAAAAWo/zzxBITkfeyU/s320/Democracy1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114206147152830850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;And the MOST important point, which is also my personal all time favorite: Because I want to be able to express my love for the people/country and point out national problems without being prosecuted and crucified by political agenda!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;However, the government is right about &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigrants"&gt;emigrants&lt;/a&gt; being quitters. The people should stay on, and show the world that we care and love the country, and that we would let the people sitting at high places hear our voices, even if we have to fight from the bottom all the way up...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The road to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy"&gt;democracy&lt;/a&gt; is never easy, but God is my strength...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-3919009594730726483?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/3919009594730726483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=3919009594730726483' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/3919009594730726483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/3919009594730726483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/09/why-emigrate.html' title='Why Emigrate?'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RvlPZQUp4XI/AAAAAAAAAWg/OMbxZxmu43g/s72-c/countries_singapore01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-5509454265018479464</id><published>2007-09-22T02:18:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-02T00:03:49.386+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social'/><title type='text'>Morality vs Crime</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RvQQfAUp4WI/AAAAAAAAAWY/naBz0T4FmTY/s1600-h/Scale_of_justice.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 139px; height: 141px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RvQQfAUp4WI/AAAAAAAAAWY/naBz0T4FmTY/s320/Scale_of_justice.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112729601820975458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Something which I random contemplated today: &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Are criminals people of little or no moral values?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Do law abiding citizens truly have moral values?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My thoughts on today's contemplation: &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Criminals are NOT necessarily immoral people. Likewise, one with no criminal record may not truly possesses good morals.&lt;/span&gt; The reason is simple, most people restrain from committing crime due to fear of legal punishment, such as jail, records and of course, FINE in Singapore's context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Education as we know today, empathizes little on the code of morality. Due to the diversity of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group"&gt;ethnic groups&lt;/a&gt;, the definition of right and wrong is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vague"&gt;vague&lt;/a&gt;. What is unnatural to some, may be essential to others. Hence we are taught and controlled by one simple philosophy: - Abide the law, or else be punished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I do believe that not all criminals are immoral. As we know, "crime" is also a very &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vague"&gt;vague&lt;/a&gt; term to describe actions. It can range from causing harm to others such as robbery, assault, rape and more. Other activities such as hacking, forgery, or even simple ones like not paying taxes and exercising freedom of speech in some countries can also easily get you a jail sentence. Yes it is true that rapists are immoral fuckers not matter how you look at it, and that I personally can't agree more too. However, what the fuck is wrong with free speech?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine this scenario: 20 people are divided equally into 2 groups, A and B. Out of 10 members, 5 have been charge with rape. in group A. While group B, out of its 10, 2 have the same charges. So which group possesses higher moral values? Most would say group A of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a case study: &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;What is out of the 5 non-rapist in group A, all of them genuinely felt that it is wrong to hurt others, hence they choose to remain crime-free? And out of the 8 non-rapist in group B, only 1 truly believe in not hurting others while the remaining 7 did not commit the actual act due to the fear of jail but had in their minds, rape beautiful girls over a million times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of it...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7878613622365388759-5509454265018479464?l=christofyew.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/feeds/5509454265018479464/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7878613622365388759&amp;postID=5509454265018479464' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/5509454265018479464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878613622365388759/posts/default/5509454265018479464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christofyew.blogspot.com/2007/09/morality-vs-crime.html' title='Morality vs Crime'/><author><name>Christof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424340450359397867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Sf3FbgnI5bI/AAAAAAAABYU/MvnKFp_JEko/S220/Christof+-+MSN+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/RvQQfAUp4WI/AAAAAAAAAWY/naBz0T4FmTY/s72-c/Scale_of_justice.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878613622365388759.post-8761385259673768964</id><published>2007-09-17T01:13:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-12-30T20:13:05.741+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Miscellaneous / Fun Posts'/><title type='text'>Naval Piercings</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Ru1ok9q9_aI/AAAAAAAAAWI/L0MjHwtnuMA/s1600-h/naval+piercing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 131px; height: 164px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-8ZsqjvWaOU/Ru1ok9q9_aI/AAAAAAAAAWI/L0MjHwtnuMA/s320/naval+piercing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110856136374746530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navel_piercing"&gt;Naval piercing&lt;/a&gt; -  a common trend amongst ladies in today's fashion sense may seem trendy or even sexually appealing to some. But few actually know the truth behind their real function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a recent &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-up_comedy"&gt;stand-up comedy&lt;/a&gt; with local comedian Kumar, he mentioned this topic and it's really an interesting insight! That's why I've decide to share with all readers about this truth...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as we know, females sometimes experience... Well I would say &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not-so-pleasant&lt;/span&gt; odor from their genitals. This can be caused by several factors such as health, diet and biological issues... While most females are generally ok, some cases can be quit intolerable to the extend whereby it becomes a turn-off during sexual intimacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When such cases happen, it's always good to have an air freshener around... And the place to hang them? That's right! From the naval...

Personally, as a Christian, I think &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_harvest"&gt;City Harvest&lt;/a&gt; has shamed us all by preaching nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't speak for God, but if God is the loving God said in the bible, I don't think He wanted His church to be decorated like a 6 star hotel with a super theater when that money could have helped a lot of unfortunate people... Anyway, this post is about &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Yeow_Sun"&gt;Sun&lt;/a&gt;, not &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_harvest"&gt;City Harvest&lt;/a&gt;. If you guys like me to comment on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_harvest"&gt;City Harvest&lt;/a&gt;, tell me and I will write something about it the next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Yeow_Sun"&gt;Sun Ho&lt;/a&gt; was known as a pastor when she was preaching in the church together with her husband, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee"&gt;Kong Hee&lt;/a&gt;, founder of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_harvest"&gt;City Harvest&lt;/a&gt;. However, when she was commented to be an inappropriate example of a pastor, she denied that she was ever one, claiming to be only the "musical director" of the church. So if she were never a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastor"&gt;pastor&lt;/a&gt;, why did she accept and acknowledge when members of the church addressed her as Pastor &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Yeow_Sun"&gt;Ho&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean come on, &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;don't deny God you bitch!&lt;/span&gt; I won't accept being address as Father Christof if I'm not an ordained, so if you aren't a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastor"&gt;pastor&lt;/a&gt;, why would you accept being addressed as one all those years before you became a singer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she first began her career, she relied heavily on her church's influence on its members to push her to fame by supporting her album and concerts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if memories didn't fail us all, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Yeow_Sun"&gt;Sun&lt;/a&gt; preached about modesty of females in modern society. &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;She advised female church members not to wear revealing clothes, not to dance in sex-like manners and that disco music is a way for the devil to influence humans.&lt;/span&gt; So what happened to that holier-than-thou &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Yeow_Sun"&gt;Sun&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;The above MTV contains everything she preached against!&lt;/span&gt; In it, she dresses like a whore and dances like getting fuck to "&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;evil&lt;/span&gt;" music. If that ain't hypocritical, I don't know what else is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know her husband &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Hee"&gt;Kong Hee&lt;/a&gt; who is also a pastor apparently drives some expensive BMW and lives in some luxurious condo. I never knew religious servicemen can earn so much... Perhaps their lives outside church is SO luxurious that they believe they have to make the church like that too? &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;City H_rv_st&lt;/span&gt; (would you like to buy a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel"&gt;vowel&lt;/a&gt;?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, my point is, &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;don't fucking franchise and commercialize Christianity&lt;/span&gt; you bastards! And don't preach something that you don't sincerely advocate. &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;Practice what you preach&lt;/span&gt;, mother fuckers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Yeow_Sun"&gt;Sun Ho&lt;/a&gt;, if you realize, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisha"&gt;Geishas&lt;/a&gt; are of &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;Japanese&lt;/span&gt; culture. Why are you calling yourself &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="FONT-STYLE: italic" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisha"&gt;Geisha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; when the song obviously says &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;CHINA&lt;/span&gt; wine.

Well I was sleeping and woke up half-way due to my mind being too active on work issues.. Anyway to try to get myself back to sleep, I decided to blog about something which I've been hearing for the past few days since my post on stupid Singapore..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been bombarded with hate mails saying if I don't like Singapore, I should just get out. Well, actually, I'm planning on that right now... After all, I'm never a Singaporean to begin with, LOL.. So I can like shake my ass and fly right off the next day since I've got a house and clothes in Taiwan too :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, a lot of people did ask me, if I'm so concern with the society, why am I not doing anything other than blogging about it. Well as a mat
