Found out something special would like to share with you all.

Science reveals that the carbonated beer freezes at a lower temperature than non-carbonated liquid. When the beer is hit, it releases the carbonation in the beer, allowing the remaining liquid to become frozen.

Rumor of the day!

A LOT of people are posting the same status today, in english and chinse too.
在这几天,不要喝Pepsi公司
的汽水…coke , pepsi , 7 up 那些
都不要喝…因为pepsi公司有
一个工作人员加了他的血在
某个制造过程中…那个人是
... 有爱滋病的!! 真的要切记!是真实的报
道…电视机也有播! 快通知你身边的人吧~
"ATTENTION:Important Message....For d next few days, do not drink any product from pepsi company like pepsi, tropicana juice, slice, 7up , coca cola, etc,,as a worker from the company has added his blood contaminated with HIV. watch NDtv ...please 4ward this 2 every 1 u care about."
I would like to tell you guys, HIV is impossible to spread through these carbonate drinks, HIV does not live long outside the body. Even if small amounts of HIV-infected blood or semen was consumed, exposure to the air, heat from cooking, and stomach acid would destroy the virus. Therefore, there is no risk of contracting HIV from eating food. How is it spread via pepsi? Hope you guys stop sharing this kind of information and cause the other worried about things they eat and drinks.

This is some of the screenshot of my physic project . There are 2 requirement.
i. The input of the circuit is the color code of a resistor.
ii. The output of the circuit is a total resistance of the circuit. The total resistance value must
be represented in decimal number.
This is the layout I did, still in progress, have to modify a lot of stuff, add some extra buttons to make the program work, and also add some extra function other than the 2 requirement to get full mark, if only fulfill both of the requirement stated in the question, only able to get average mark. LUCKILY, I like programming a lot, it's much more better than doing something practically like previous semester.
By the way, the language I'm using is VB.net

A temple that is near to broga hill.

here are some of the picture I snapped on the day I went there with my family members and relatives. There is a real nice place for you guys to visit early in the morning, what can you see there are green and green, it's hard to find such place in kuala lumpur. well, but this is not located in kuala lumpur, it's located in somewhere near kuala lumpur, which is semenyih. Next target is Broga Hill!

Need for speed the runs had released by EA few days ago.
Everyone around me are talking about Need for speed The Run.
It remind me of you.. ( picture above )

An interesting speech

Had attended an interesting speech in this morning, it's compulsory for all of the student in faculty in information technology.
The speech is given by the CEO of netcarbon studio, creator of SUPERTOTS!
Had gain a lot of new knowledge about animation and also some of the knowledge about games design, how does motion capture work ( the way they create avatar)..
Too bad, this studio is located in Malaysia,
Nobody is going to give them $$ to do animation,
They have to go around the world to purpose their idea to the other and get sponsership from other company.
They spent 2.8m MYR on SUPERTOTS, its only 13 episode. and spend 11days on rendering the whole animation with 80 cores computer..
Netcarbon is a very nice company for those who're interested in animation design in malaysia.
It's located in Bangi, a small town in selangor malaysia.

How light affects sleep?

Sleeping with the light on can impair a person's body clock. Research has shown that the body clock is negatively affected even if the person continues to doze off. The research into the effect of light on sleep can help foster new treatments for various sleep disorders.
Being exposed to light at nighttime can trigger a chemical process that can operate as a neural switch that can switch the sleep/wake cycle on and off. By nature, the sleep/wake cycle is run by the pineal gland. The pineal gland, located in the brain, secretes melatonin. The production of melatonin is at its peak when a person sleeps.
An enzyme called AA-NAT or N-acetyltransferase is involved in the production of melatonin. This particular biochemical machine can cause the production of melatonin to turn on and off. High levels of the AA-NAT enzyme can produce high levels of melatonin to induce sleep. In general, the pineal gland shields the AA-NAT enzyme from being destroyed by proteasomes or barrel-shaped cell structures.
Turning on a bedside lamp at nighttime can block the stimulation of the pineal gland causing the AA-NAT protein to be destroyed by the proteasomes. This results in a continuous drop in the level of melatonin secretion. Exposure to light can help control the production of melatonin. At the same time, it also increase the chances to have cancer.

What is melatonin?
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced every day by the pineal gland, which is located deep in the brain. Healthy young and middle-aged adults generally secrete about 5 to 25 micrograms of melatonin each night. This amount tends to decline with age, and this decline is possibly linked with an age-related rise in sleep difficulties.
Melatonin is sometimes described as the sleep hormone, but this is not correct. It is not geared to the sleep cycle, although it may help you fall and stay asleep. It is produced in the dark, regardless of whether or not the person is sleeping. Hence its name, which was coined in 1958 from the Greek word, 'melas,' meaning 'black.' Theoretically, you could be up and about in the dark (such as listening to the radio) and still produce the normal amount of melatonin.


At dusk, the decrease in sunlight sends a signal that stimulates the pineal gland to produce more melatonin. Hormone levels then continue to rise steadily for hours, peaking at around 2 a.m. (3 a.m. in older people). It then declines sharply as morning approaches. By 8 a.m. or so your melatonin levels are back down to their typical low daytime point, only to start the cycle over again the following evening.

PS : EXPOSED TO LIGHT DURING SLEEP WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF GETTING CANCER!

Symbian vs android

I can see that most of my friends or people around me start to move to android device, but why? what's the reason? is it really that good? what about the previous champion? nokia? well it's still the champion in Q3 2011, sales 27.11%. still top sales among all the other company.

Most of the people I asked, Why you change android? They will say that, BECAUSE OF IT HAS A LOT OF APPS..
I was wondering.. You able to use all of the apps? Is it necessary to use so many apps? and can you use all of it? how many % of it you installed in your phone?

Me, I'm a student in information technology field, I couldn't say that I'm an expert in such things but according to my knowledge, or my personal opinion, symbian is more practical than android.

Why would I say that? Because symbian really did what end user need. Games, symbian have, angry bird? Dungeon hunter 2? Asphalt 6? Hero of sparta 2? Symbian support all of it.

But there is one different between symbian and android, SYMBIAN phone run these game won't lag, but android will. Android is too general, it's an open source operating system, it need very strong hardware to make it run smoothly. Samsung said that, galaxy s2 is the strongest smartphone in the world. YES I AGREE! In term of hardware. It is. But when it goes to software, asphalt 6, x7 is much more smoother than samsung galaxy s2. Why? because the installer of the game is special design for symbian phone. Android installer is different, it's too general for that much of phones.

Other than that, we can see that, android OS, google didn't mention about hardware requirement, but 600mhz phone able to run android smoothly? No it can't, now mid-range phone is up to 1.4Ghz dual core. Why nokia haven't up to that standard? Nokia is working on 1Ghz single core, but it can run smoothly.

Some people said, they need android phone, cause of apps, widget, but i did tried on nokia e7,  it's practical, it has the widget that we need, it have notification too, a widget on homescreen, provide same function as iOS5/android notification center. Some of the popular apps like whatsapp, foursquare, nokia phone also have. even s40 simple phone also have whatsapp.

Whats more? Why people around me all goes to android phone? what's the reason? I really can't understand. I did fall for android OS for a period of time, but I can feel that, it really need very good hardware to work smoothly. I didn't say Android is not a good OS, it's only my own opinion, it's good, just that it can't optimize all of the phone.

NOT to install CSSU on n900!!

I used CSSU on my n900 for very long time, couple days ago, my friend told me that there is an update for n900, so i asked him that whether it's nokia official update or it's CSSU update, he told me that it's nokia update and asked me to delete CSSU cause it has bug, i just ignore about his advice.

And today i try GPS on my n900 again, I unable to lock my position no matter how long I wait, it's not the first time for me to face this problem. So I went to maemo.org to find solution, found a thread, somebody said that his gps is working after he delete CSSU.

Well, so I tried to delete my CSSU by using x-terminal but failed.
So I decided to format my phone and reinstall everything.
After i reformat my phone and I try to test on GPS again.
Location : In the Room
Weather : Cloudy
AGPS : OFF
GPS : N900 internal GPS

GPS lock speed was awesome, I could lock my own position in NO TIME , just within 5second, I'm able to lock my own position without AGPS!

Encourage all of the N900 user to delete the CSSU, although it's good but it really bring troubles to our n900.

lazy day

today is a lazy day. feel lazy to on my netbook to update my blog. so i decided to use my cellphone to update my blog since my cellphone able to do full browsing like computer.
today i had tried out symbian three.. which is symbian anna.
the last symbian i use was symbian sixty version three..
and symbian sixty version five is almost the same as version three just that it has the touchscreen function.
most of the malaysian had naglected symbian phones because of ios, android and blackberry are getting more and more popular.
my cousins bought a few unit of nokia e seven.
tried out the new symbian anna.
it awesome, nice display, nice homescreen. got plenty of widget.
although it dont have that much apps like android and iphone have but at least its better than android, with slow processor able to load the os very smooth. no lag at all.
iphone4s has the siri function and e7 also have similar function.
which is vlingo. 
i tried the apps, its really useful and easy to understand your command.
e7 is an awesome phone but the only disadvantages is the camera of the phone is fixed focus. although it has 8mp but it dont have auto focus.
too bad..
symbian really have a big improvement after times..

Thailand

God bless victims of thailand.
Lots of people lost their houses because of the flood,
Students can't go to school, worker become jobless, hawker unable to start their business.
and now 400 crocodiles escape from the zoo and 15 deadly green mambas escapes from the Nonthaburi's Pak Kret district on Tuesday night.
Officials say the highly venomous snakes include two adults - 2 metres long - and 13 one-metre-long young ones.

         Anyone spotting the snakes must alert the Zoo and Wildlife Veterinary Society of Thailand via hotline 1362 or the Jor Sor 100 radio station at (02) 711 9160.

        Chisanu Tiyacharoensri, vice president of the Wild Animal Rescue Foundation of Thailand, said green mambas were yellowish-green and larger than green snakes. He urged people to stay away from the snakes and be careful not to be bitten because there was no serum available in Thailand at present to counteract their venom.

        Chisanu said the victim of a mamba bite would feel drowsy and could die in 20 minutes. If he or she survived, the victim would be on respiratory aid while waiting for antivenin to come from South America in two or three days.

        For first aid in case of snakebite to a limb, Chisanu said the wound should be cleaned gently with soap and water, and a piece of cloth should be wrapped tightly at least 7 centimetres above the bite. A second piece should be wrapped 7cm above the first. The victim should lie down before being quickly transported to hospital.

        He warned not to squeeze or cut the wound.
had been lot of days I didn't update my blog already.
3rd of Nov, is a night, I don't know what to do,
wonder the decision I made is correct or not, feel empty, stress...

Feel like take cheese + ham + bread as my breakfast in campus,
but too bad, I don't have a refrigerator in the hostel and refri is not allowed due to the consumption of the
electricity.
Friend told me there is something called USB fridge, I did research all over the internet,
found out some information,
USB fridge, they use it to cool down soda drinks or keep coffee or tea at warm condition.
this is the sample of diy usb fridge i get from the internet
the most important material of the fridge is peltier and heatsink.
how does it work?
peltier is a good conductor.
when electric apply to the peltier,
one side of the peltier will get hot and the other side of the peltier will get cold
the instruction shows that have to prepare 2 heatsink, one of the heatsink put on the hot side and another heatsink put on the cold side, the heatsink on the cold side helps the soda or cans drinks to chill down faster and the hot side heatsink is to decrease the temperature of the peltier so that the cold side can go to higher temperature and it will last longer.
I not sure what's the lowest temperature it can go.
but it's enough to keep a soda drinks or beer cold.
other than keep drinks cold. peltier also used to make mini fridge for cars or camping fridge, its noiseless and no need to refill gas.
environment friendly.
at the same time i found out something interesting when I'm doing research for the mini fridge, I found out some of the extreme overclocker use it to cold down the processor and graphic processing unit.
Saw it on a forum, temperature drops to 7degree celcius when the processor is idling.
They put it between the processor and the heatsink, not sure how they connect the wire for current.
hm..
that's all for now i guess.
:(
