If everyone cared..

Have you seen that particular music video from Nickelback? Kudos to whoever made the video. It's really inspiring to watch. I really do have greater respect for people who has no second thought in helping a total stranger. 'Tis somehow get me this sense of joy knowing that in this morally degenerating world that people with good soul still exist. It doesn't matter what race they are or what god they worshiped.

Lately the news about a child raped while celebrating our nation pride and joy tradition, the Hari Raya house visiting makes me awe in disbelief. What actually happens to our people? What have Malaysian become? Have the level of humanity reach a new low in a country that boast of its 'sopan-santun budaya kita'?

I think our education system need to give more emphasis on moral education. Drop the nonsense debate about sex education. This is more important right now. Schools these days need to literally teach children that killing is bad. Raping is the act of a lowlife scum. SPM should include additional mandatory paper with question like this:

Convicted killers in our country should be:

A. put to jail for life with 1000 whip.
B. put on death penalty.
C. put on death penalty after 1000 whip.
D. All of the above.

So lets take a moment and think about ourselves. What have we done? Have we ever help somebody without a single thought of getting something in return? Have we ever pay it forward?

Go pay the toll for the stranger behind your car. Go pay the drink for the tables next to you. Go buy some candy and send it to an orphanage. Let's bring back humanity to our life.

My new toy..

It has been long since I last stepped my foot in Lowyat. The traffic there was one of the reason for being so. But last weekend I was there on a buy-or-die mission to get myself a laptop that allow me to play most if not all the latest games. And I got one.

It's Acer's new pride so called the Gemstone. Acer has announced new specs for this laptop generously giving 250GB harddisk with the same retail price. Yet there's only 1 small problem. All the Acer ads states that it comes with Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT but the stocks that came from the manufacturer was equipped with the GS version. Stupid Acer.

Wandering the floors of Lowyat, I managed to get a glimpse on a unit that had GT with same specs as advertised. I had the reseller to check their inventory if they have anymore of the that same unit. Unfortunate they haven't. With a slight discount and an extra 1GB RAM I decided to buy the display as I'm quite satisfied after inspecting it and the rest is history. I reckon I was the last to get my hand on the GT version (I walk across the same store again and they had a new display unit with GS).

So my official apology for my lovely wife. I love you so much but it's GAMING TIME! Yeahaaa!!
