I have lost my battle with Facebook

Zuckerberg surely is genius. He created an animal, he doesn't even pet himself. I have recently deactivated my FB account. It will take sometime before I can finally shut down my FB account for good. I wish to delete all the posts and pictures I have on FB before putting my FB to sleep. Now, I have been on and off activating/deactivating my FB account because I'm still in the process to delete all my posts/pictures on FB.

Back to why Zuckerberg is a world-class genius. Deleting an album/a  picture on FB is not just a click away. Tonne of clicks are needed to delete a photo. I could create maybe up to five new FB accounts with the time I have spent deleting 2 photos. I bet that genius made this on purpose so that all our photos/posts continue to exist somewhere in the Planet Internet.

Being on FB was not a mistake. Well, it was the 'in thing' when I first signed up for one, age 26. But as my age grows thicker, I now value privacy in a different perspective. I am also sick of having to go through thousand of motivated speeches every morning on FB, mainly posted by people who self-claimed that they are now rocking the world. Everyone is trying hard to impress others. Blergh.

Well, I hope to finish deleting all my photos and posts soon.

The Voice 4

Can't help it but to ramble out on this tiny blog. The only medium I have, else than faded white colored walls. I love this show. It's kind of a strategy game in form of a singing competition. Basically four people are competing in a war, given to them are armies they personally chose.

It got into my nerves everytime a participant vouch out his/her 'my life was basically cursed, TV4 is my one and only hope' card. Well everyone has a fair share of shitty holes in life. Who cares. What singing has anything to do with your deceased family members, not that I'm being heartless, but people, your stories are just irrelevant with the show.

An old piece of conversation

Five year  old niece: What are you doing for living
Aunt CDr: I am teaching Physics to adult students
Five year  old niece: What is Physics
Aunt CDr: Physics is a knowledge about energy
Five year  old niece: What is energy
Aunt CDr: Energy leaves tract to their case but no evidence. As an example, you can feel the coolness of grandma's air condition unit, but we cannot actually see the cool air.
Five year old niece: I don't understand a word you just said
Aunt CDr: Guess, I just drove her crazy.

.....a year later

Six year old niece: What is Physics
Aunt CDr: Physics is a specific subject about energy, just like mathematics is a specific subject about numbers and count.
Six year old niece: What is energy
Aunt CDr: Energy is a form strength that a particular thing has. Energy could be manipulated in many ways to benefit us. Example in medicine, in which I have particular interest in.
Six year old niece: I don't understand energy 
Aunt CDr: Erkk, wasn't it supposed to be 'I don't understand Physics', instead of energy. Yes, I did it again. Drove her crazy.

.... six months later

Six year and a half old niece:What is physics
Aunt CDr: Physics is a subject in school for adult students just like Mathematics, Science, English etc
Six year and a half old niece: Isn't Physics related to energy?
Aunt CDr: Yes, you absoulutely right
Six year and a half old niece: What is energy?
Aunt CDr: Energy is something you can feel/experience but  cannot see. Energy exists in many forms, liquid, solid or air. For example, can you see air?
Six year and a half old niece: No
Aunt CDr: Can you feel the temperature has been compromised everytime an air conditioner unit is switched on.
Six year and a half old niece:Yes
Aunt CDr: Well, that is physics
Six year and a half old niece: Grandma, do you want to know what is Physics
Aunt CDr: Guess she finally got it, after one and a half year.

Mad Scientist World

Cast

Ahli Jemaah Mesyuarah Suka Tunjuk Pandai: Mr Poyo
Pengerusi Majlis: PM
Cekgu Dokter : CDr
Mad Scientist: MS (Ahli jemaah ni, surat beranaknya cap arab)

*Of course, there were many things discussed, but here are the a few that worth being documented*

Situation 1

PM: ...........so, I'd like to invite our young colleagues here to table out any problems you might be facing while working in School of Mad Scientists

MS: I would like to know the answer why the waiting period is so long (more than 7 months) to get an internal fund application approved?

PM: ... well basically, I have no direct answer to your question, as I am not part of the board members who are in charge in reviewing new applications. As I was the board member last year, I believe they are now waiting for the fund to be handed to them, later decisions can be made, in term of which mad scientists can be the new 'orang kaya baru'. Also, the budget to our 'sekolah' has been cut nearly up to ??%.

MS: What ??%. That's a lot of money. That's unfair. How can we go wilder as mad scientists if budget has been reduced up to that much. You should do something about it.

CDr: Well, if you happen to be able to catch up with other colleagues from overseas, you'd realize that in developed countries, mad scientists are not funded by the Uni. Mad scientists are required to fight real battles externally in order to compete for fund to run their Frankenstein experiments. Spoon feeding are discouraged. "Dalam hati: tulah negara ko tak maju2, banyak songeh pak sheikh ni kutuk negara berdaulat ku"

 

Situation 2

CDr: I found it hard to get senior Frankenstein lab assistants to be participative in my Frankenstein experiment sessions with students.

Mr Poyo: Well, the way to get they participate in your work is by trying to get to know them better. Get to know their families, ask them about their kids.

CDr: I am not interested in domestic issues they might be having. We are all here to work. Along the way we might make friends, but I don't intend to make everyone I work with as friends. "Dalam hati: tahula ko suka ada sessi gossip ngan Frankenstein lab assistant tu, nak ambil peluang kata aku sombong ler tu"

Karenah Manusia Generasi Y

Situation I: An email conversation between Cikgu Dokter (CDr) and one of her dayang belum berijazah (DBB).

at 1.30pm.....
DBB 1: CDr, I am stuck at where I am. Couldn't really progress in my writing. I am having technical problems with the analytical part of the thesis.

CDr: I am leaving for lunch now. Later at 2.30pm, come to my office  and we can both work on your problems and try to unfold all the tangles.

Later at 3:00pm, as I was doing works, at the same time was awaiting for her. Now at 8:06pm, I am yet to hear from her. I am affirmed that generation-Y was born in absence of a DNA called 'common courtesy'. 

Situation II: Texting conversation between CDr and one of her dayang belum berijazah (DBB).

 

Monday
CDr: Please join the group meeting on Wednesday at 4.00pm. I hope to  wrap up the project and discuss on thesis writing.

DBB 2: Sure thing.

Wednesday (at 4.15pm)
CDr: Why aren't you here for our meeting.

DBB 2: I am having migrane. I can't make it for today.

Thursday
CDr: We are having a meeting again tomorrow at 4.00pm. Please join us.

No reply received.

Friday
CDr: You have to join us later, or else you'll be left out in the game.

...at 4.15
DBB 2: I can't make it today, my car broke down.

Seriously people! I care about the project more than she does.
