I seriously don't get the people who name their stuffs, be it computers or just stuffs that aren't living things. It's fine if you created it and named it.
But naming your computer or stuffs (like I said, stuffs) is simply... Go figure.
Wait till they come alive like how they did in Transformers ah...

Adam Lambert
I am sure that by now, most of you would know that Adam Lambert is Gay. But despite that, many girls that I know, are still head over heels for Adam.
'Oh my God, he is Soooooo HOT! His voice is simply amazing!'
I am a big fan of both him and Danny Gokey, and I didn't really bother about the whole Gay issue at first. Till I saw the photos of him that were leaked onto the internet.
Don't get me wrong, I don't stereotype people. But the 'Bad Ass' version of the Jonas Brothers (Or maybe he's a league farther than them? I think he's more like a mix of he guy from Hinder and the guys from KISS) was way more appealing than these photos.
Now every time I see him performing(be it on Youtube and on TV), I am reminded of the purple hair-do, and not this:
Why did the photos leak onto the net?
But then again, gay or not, I don't really care. He has really great skills and I do hope that he or Danny wins the title of the next American Idol.

Meteor Shower
Just so you didn't know, "Stunned astronomers watched a car-sized asteroid explode into a brilliant meteor shower as it crashed into Earth's atmosphere, and then wandered into a Sudan desert to pick up the pieces, a study released Wednesday reported."

Isn't it creepy to know that a meteor actually almost hit Earth? What would happen if it were to actually hit Singapore? Or worst yet, if it were to be as big as a ship, and having to land in Singapore, or in the waters near Singapore?
What if it landed in some other country too?
Okay, enough with the paranoia. But wow, this actually show that we have to be prepared for any worst case scenarios in the near future for we wouldn't know when anything else would hit us.
Dear Hancock,
Where the hell are you? Earth needs you, we need you. Please save us from all these.
Love, Kethlyn

Cup On Fire
If you don't read or watch the news as often as you should, don't worry, you're not alone. I actually don't read the newspapers daily, unless there's some hot topic going on in "Today's New Paper", which I believe most teachers and parents would call it, the 'Kaypo' newspaper.
Most teachers and parents dislike the style of the articles produced in TNP for it has the 'image' of an 'read while on the go' which appeals to, basically the youth. Many youths would think of the newspapers as a boring set of 'grey papers that waste ink' rather than a set of resourceful information.
But then again, newspapers hold so much information that we probably need to read it in order to survive. But you don't have to read the grey papers, just read them online!
Well, if you are still not interested in the news, then fear not! I'll share some with you! Only the important ones that may/might affect your lives though. Here's one:
Copied and pasted to make both of our lives easier.
"People who drink their tea piping hot run a higher risk of throat cancer than counterparts who prefer a cooler cuppa, according to an investigation published Friday by the British Medical Journal.
Cancer of the oesophagus is linked especially to smoking and alcohol abuse but hot beverages have also been considered a risk factor, possibly because of damage to throat tissue."
"Those who drank hot tea (between 65-69 degrees Celsius, 149-156 degrees Fahrenheit) were twice as likely to develop throat cancer compared with those who drank warm or lukewarm tea, whose temperature was 65 C (149 F) or less.

Drinking very hot tea (at least 70 C, 158 F) was associated with an eightfold increased risk compared with warm or lukewarm tea."
"It recommended that tea junkies wait at least four minutes before drinking from a freshly boiled cup."
I love my tea hot. But since it has/may have linkage to throat cancer, I am not taking any chances.

Shoot down the Stars, for all we need is Peace
Earth Hour actually allowed me to divide my neighbourhood into two groups. One was 'People who care about Earth' and the other was 'People who couldn't even be bothered to lift their finger to turn off the light switches'.
Truth to be told, my neighbourhood fell in the latter. And I sure am disappointed.
I actually had a picture in mind.
Maybe it was too much, but I thought that it would be cool if one's neighbourhood could have the existance of an exhilarating yet peaceful ambience.
But boy, was my neighbourhood far from the word 'Darkness'! Neighbours of mine were seen to have all their lights switched on, some even playing DVDs, computer games and even karaoke.
Okay, so maybe my neighbours don't bother about Earth Hour. Let's check out the neighbourhood.
The thought of seeing the HDB flats with their lights out was soon replaced by the actual sight that there were less than 10 flats with their lights switched off! And I bet that out of these 10 flats, maybe 7 or 8 of them had families that weren't at home, so the lights were switched off.
If I were an organisation that was promoting Earth Hour, I would have switched off all the corridor lights (and allow burglars to carry out their heist), put all the channels on TV on test screen.
Or better yet, make them 'suffer' like how we students did back in school, during Total Defence Day. The water supply was switched off (can you imagine how unhygienic it was with no water to wash up after using the toilet? Oh, and I remember that there was this one time in my Primary School, this kid took a big dump in the toilet and it couldn't be flushed down! The horror...), so were the fans and lights.
It's actually not torturous, for the fact that it is only for an hour.
It can't be helped because if it is a matter which is not compulsory, almost (Read: ALMOST) everyone would not even be bothered about it.
And to those numbskulls who weren't bothered about Earth Hour, see what Global Warming is doing to the polar bears!

"Potentially fatal to the polar bear, global warming has already left its mark on the species with smaller, less robust bears that are increasingly showing cannibalistic tendencies."
"The primary observation is that as the sea ice shrinks away, so are the polar bears -- they're not growing as big as they used to."
"The melting ice means not only shorter hunting seasons, but it also means the bears, who number some 20,000 to 25,000 worldwide, have to cross greater distances to reach their icy hunting grounds.
This has led to a deterioration of the bears' health, impacting their reproductive capacities and the cubs' chances of survival, experts warned."
" "We knew of polar bears killing and eating other polar bears," Steven Amstrup, a research wildlife biologist with the US Geological Survey, told AFP.
"But the difference was that this time the polar bears were clearly deliberately hunting other bears, attacking for example females in their denning area" in northern Alaska, he said.
"We assume that it was linked to nutritional stress."
Faced with the growing uncertainty concerning the ice, pregnant polar bears are increasingly denning on land, researchers have noticed."
I think that if no fast actions are taken to save these Polar Bears, they are bound to be the next Do Do Birds.
