I suck at Web Publishing 2/24




One of the main reasons I don't have my own domain. I can't seem to get stuff worked out. I am such a newbie at this whole blogosphere thingy.

Note to self. I should start learning how to use php/asp and sql..

My diminishing existence on the blogosphere.

Sorry for the extremely terse (and delayed) post..

I had my most busy week this. well, i guess it's over. As schoolwork is piling up a) up to my nose
b) in my bag, c) in an ever increasing manner. In nerdology terms, it's "converging to INFINITY by the ratio test, since Hw(n+1) > Hw(n) for all n"

It's a shame Maria had to lose to Serena, well, before the Tournament, I named potential champions to be Petrova, Mauresmo, Sharapova for Women's, and Hewitt, Blake and Roddick for Men's. But they all lost in that chronological order. For certain reason I thought Roddick was a sure bet, maybe I am influenced a bit since I am physically in the States right now.

I still have more work to do. But if you're wondering, I am doing fine since I have time to be procrastinating right here.

anyway, good luck to you guys with exams out there.

....tumbleweed....

First Post of the year (Late Submission Jan 24th).


A full 3 weeks and 2 days after the systematic destruction of the Wolverines. Anyway I did not have a chance to bid you readers a Happy and Prosperous New Year. - (Note the wish for prosperity as an inherited sense of stinginess and materialistic mindset being brought up in a Chinese family.)


Never mind that. I am still pretty inconsistently hitting the fitness center. I think I might have lost a couple of pounds but somehow I got a feeling that as winter is getting colder by the hour, tempts me to eat more and you can actually see the immediate effect of the extra calories.




Recently, President Bush from the United States of America, also known as USA, as a leader of the coalition of the willing, whose member count is dwindling as long as anyone could remember, passed a notion to send an extra 21k troops to Iraq.


This is indeed great news. Direct stimulation of economic and scientific growth.



On the sports section, the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears made the front page as well as Amelie Mauresmo. Not so much on NBA, other than Chris Webber's return to Michigan. What can I say as a future U of Michigan alum who's an inactive supporter of the Pistons? Is Webber's return good or bad? Yes or no? Take your pick in the comments section.


Side Note : Serena Williams survives to the Semis, not so good for Martina
Hingis.

Aiyeee.. Malaysian censorship continues..

Is malaysia a free country? think again. When simple books (my side of story by chin peng), simple movies (Lelaki Komunis Terakhir) gets banned, people don't have to wonder why. Communist sentiments have never been welcomed in Malaysia, even in this day and age.

Just 15 minutes ago, I discovered that Award Winning, Oscars taking movie, Brokeback Mountain, was banned. "Brokeback Mountain" was based off a namesake book written by Pullitzer Award winning author, Annie Proulx. It has also received numerous recognition, including the National Magazine Award. Well, enough said about the background, in a nutshell, the idea behind this is that it's a nice movie, but people back in Malaysia have no idea what they are losing. (hehehe.. of course the Pasar Malam peeps selling pirated VCD would be more than delighted by the government's straightforward declination of big bucks from the publishers of the movie)

Then comes the big question. Why is it banned in Malaysia? well, people here in Yellow-Willow came up with several conjectures.

3. American Sentiment.
Cowboys, cowboys, and more cowboys. Talk about the west. now look around in your thick jungle, people driving their 1940 sedans, riding bicycles or traveling using tree vines. Now the movie probably will persuade people to stop taking LRTs and saddle up their spanish stallion and start riding to school/work/party houses.

2. Disgusting?
Well, most countries did put an age limit restriction. well, the whole point could be summed up in one sentence: The movie probably would have been more popular if it starred 2 cowgirls instead.


Lastly, and probably the most important point is....



1. Anwar Ibrahim.
Former Deputy PM of malaysia was removed of his position due to homosexual activities. It'd make him look not so bad if the movie is shown nationwide??

About this blog

A lot of stuff about what I think, and not what I am about. Which is good, because I would be able to make fun of Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Penn State, and discuss on our futility against Ohio State. (But Woo Shoelace!)

I still think the word "god" should not be capitalized, because like oxygen or air or universe, it's an entity, and is not specific or special in its meaning.
