B106 Garage Sale: Day 1

It seems that the sale went on well today. I handled the RM1 stall and saw early birds packing away many, many stuffs which worth more than RM1, among them notebooks (PAPER notebooks), file boxes, photo frame, paper boxes, girl belts, etc, etc. The pitiful leftovers of the day include an innocent-looking ING (The insurance company) tie. One of the students actually told me, “Whoever had this tie really have a bad taste in ties.” No offense meant on the donor of the ING tie. :)

Meanwhile, I found something very interesting among the piles of books on sale.

最新学生词典?A primary school Chinese dictionary in a University garage sales?

EDIT:[Pic removed on request]

There are not many Lees in our class. After excluding Chai Yuin, Yi Jing and Hua Loon, we think it must be…

So it seems that this is the one who donated his sister’s dictionary.

DNA test shows 13-year-old Alfie Patten is not a dad

Source

A DNA test showed a 13-year-old boy in Britain is not the father of a baby born to a 15-year-old he had unprotected sex with once.
Chantelle Stedman told Alfie Patten, who was 12 when he slept with her, he was her newborn daughter Maisie's father.
The story caused a worldwide media frenzy after it was
first reported by Britain's Sun newspaper, while politicians criticised what they called Britain's declining morals.
At first Stedman said Patten was the only boy she had ever slept with, but soon after other teens came forward saying they too could be the baby's father, because they claimed to have had sex with the girl.

It is still not clear who the baby's father is.
Last month a friend of the Stedman family claimed Patten was scammed by the girl's parents who wanted to cash in on the sensational story.
The Sun reported last month that
Alfie had been seen wearing a hoodie emblazoned with the message: "I’m the daddy, if not f*** you all I’ll still be there".

This is the boy who thought he became a father at the age of 13. As the story shocked the world, it seemed that his girlfriend didn’t just sleep with him afterall; now it’s proven altogether. This shock-cum-shame story just remind us on how sick and complicated our life can be, especially when we sleep around, or sleep with somebody who sleeps around.

I’m sure the boy (哎呀老豆) and his father (哎呀Grandfather) must be having a hard time swallowing a good fish (好鱼啊~) and a dead cat…

Hi…I’m back. + Life Updates

After jumping to Windows Live Spaces for a week, I’ve decided to stay onto this site… because Live Spaces, although being extremely easy to use, is still no match to blogspot (in my opinion). I expect myself to hang around here for a longer time now. This is also going to be my primary blog dedicated for myself. I will also look forward to set up a photo album here.

So, after 3 days of presentations, I’m finally breathing in Teluk Intan again, despite being sick already. Went to the doctor this afternoon, had temperature measured (37.8C), and was given Roxithromycin, Paracetamol, Simethicone, Omeprazole, and Dimenhydrinate.

Since CP1 hospital attachment has come to an end, it simply means people can now finally detach from their attachment partners, a form of liberation for some who found themselves with not-so-ideal partners. Therefore, it is also only normal to hear certain people complaining about their partner’s misdeeds and ill-wills (Quote KT: Dunch kill your partners!). As a result, it is also only normal if we become a little bit 8 and listen to the other pair’s problems and complains bout each other.

However, it is always recommended that one’s intepretation of a story should always be based on solid evidences published by reliable sources (For example, any rumours published in this blog is considered not established because the source itself is already unreliable :) But I will still publish rumours because we like to listen to rumours, don’t we? Makes life interesting). This is why I usually listen and forget about many stories. Unless, of course, when it needs to be dealt with.

Hope to see you again soon.

P/S:
And to all my toxicology group members: I’m sorry. It seems that our toxicology report is sleeping in an external hard disk in KL at the moment. Please allow me to email you a copy when I get back to KL ASAP (on Sunday).

B106 Garage Sales

After going through the massive amount of junkies in my backyard (wardrobe), I have decided to donate this two things for sale:

iPod: The Missing Manual 7th Edition by JD Biersdorfer and D Pogue. This book is as good as new, since I have only **browsed** through it twice. Market price $19.99, Amazon price around $13, so this book should worth at least RM40 in the market. I hope it can be sold for at least RM20…hehe








The second item…well, how bout this?

Windows 7 BETA Build 7000 DVD. Valid & Legal till Aug 1 2009. Nice?

感想

孔子曰:知之为知之,不知为不知,是知也。

给看过不懂,没看过也不懂,看过不屑一顾的,这句话的意思是:知道就说知道,不知道就说不知道,乃是一项智举。红毛语说:know say know, dunno say dunno; that is wise.

在典型的我国社会里,很多人都是知之为不知,不知亦不知,是知也,是生存之道也。如果不小心知道了当政人的秘密,当然要会诈傻扮懵,要不然可能免不了流浪他乡,甚至炸尸的命运。当上司/老师讲错了话,也要诈傻扮懵,适当地给先辈一个下台阶。替上司认屁的事件并非罕见,只是那肚里风每次都长得不一样。正是因为如此,通晓知之为知之的人很多时候都得罪了习惯有台阶下的上司,从此发配边疆。

除了这些占大多数的人之外,我们之中还是有例外的。比如说,不知却自以为知之,还可以强词夺理,说得别人无话可说。不懂了,还要硬辨,把别人的道理都硬讲成不通,非要证明自己知识渊博。必要时,还会放出杀手锏:逼使对方实践证明对方所言都是对的。在唆使别人证明他们自己的立场时,这些人却忘记了自己也需要证明自己是对的。很多时候,他们并非忘记了,而是因为觉得自己站在立场正确的中心点,所以是不会错的。

有些人更是对孔子的格言怀着大大的不信任,相信世上的人很多都是知之诈不知,不知装知之,才是明智之举也。当这些人从对方得到了答案,便怀疑答案的正确性,想办法证明答案是错的。一旦出现小小的问题,便伺机而入,指责/奚落对方;可是,更多时候,这许多小小的问题都是因为自己对答案的不了解而产生的。当这些人得不到答案(“不知道”),便一面鄙视的模样,好像在哀怨对方不愿分享知识一般。

作为旁观者/听故事者,遇到了这些事,不如还是提醒自己“知之为知之,不知为不知,是知也”,避免成为知之诈不知,不知装知之,又或者不知却以为知之呀!
