We have more than enough cases of people commiting suicide, accidental fall ins, pranks drop ins into MRT tracks for the past few years. There was a case where a young lady teacher fell in accidentally and then came the train. Gone just like that. I think 99.9 percent of Singaporeans do not know that the wayang survilence cameras in the MRT stations are simply there for the sake of being there and cannot record anything. I seriously do not think those slackers enjoying the air-cons are surviling anything. The poor wife of a recently case of accident/suicidal victim was shocked when she got to know there was no "tape" to be analysed.

Why would anyone be surprised in the first place ? Our advanced and rusty MRT system was built in the late eighties. There was no improvement except for higher train fares. Oh someone might say the trains were newer, yeah they ARE newer but we paid for them. The stations are almost 20 years old and the fugus and moss inside the survilence cams are probably somewhat as old as well. Survilence cameras without recording functions. Some trains probably never had a wash for the past2 years cos their air-con ducts are clogged up with dust. They leak and make the train cabinets mossy cold sometimes and sauna warm and suffocating. This gotta be the greatest joke in the world.

There are some news which will be disturbing and some more of an annoyance and shame. The Joo Chiat rich Ah Beng is back and he got fined. I think Singapore should stripped him and his hormonal unbalanced sister of their Singaporean citizenship. Muslim extremists continued their daily affair of setting off car bombs and decapitating kidnapped victims. Are they butchers by training ?

I have heard comments about how Stella Ng is being overly sweet and how this exaggerated or not sweetness is an overkill for most gals. Does anyone have the impression of her most recent TV ads with her promoting the genki tea ? At first it was quite alright, then the sickness which one will get if he/she eats 10 tubs of ice cream at one go start to surface. I am not talking about Stella Ng in person but the character she portrays in this advertisment.

First of all, the Japanese craze is gone, no point using tons of Japanese characters flying across the screen, this is no Japanese ad.( or maybe it is I dunno ) Not many people in Singapore can read Japanese. If this ad is so pro Japanese,why is Stella speaking in madarin with only 2 -3 Japanese phrases ? It is a Japanese ad wannabe at most and it is not certainly appealing. It's not so mandarin and not so Japanese, so what kinda hybrid is it ? The tons of sweetness and cuteness with the doll wig is fatal even to the non-dibetic. The target audience is obvious but it is not appealing. I think the Fancl tense up ex with Bai Wei Xiu is better. At least she is much much more natural than being a not so old not so young cutesy Japanese wannabe "thing".

There seem to be quite an increase in beauty advertisments on TV. Xiang Yun, Aileen Tan are not all over. The Xiang Yun advertisment is no better, it is exaggerated."...shi na me de jian dan you na me de ke xue hua - its so simple yet so scientifically advanced ) Aileen Tan's ad has too much talking and I have no idea what is she trying to say. Why make the adv so draggy ? It is a advertisment, not selling some "gao yao" (traditional Chinese medical paste which is often black in color ) The Olay visible effects with 3 or 4 or 5 women on the sofa is not too good too, "hey ni men kan, zhou wen bu jian le, ban dian xiao shi le...= hey look, my wrinkles are gone, freckles disappeared..." The mandarin needs to be improved.

Somehow I quite like the SK II adv with Sammi Cheng. Does she not look so radiant ? If I were a lady I will buy SK II rather than all of the above mentioned products.

Excuses.

It is so easy to give urself excuses. Excuses to be late, excuses not to do this do that. Excuese to buy things, excuses to eat. The army is a great place to learn how to excuse urself. I nv know myself to be so good in giving excuses, so good in running away from situations. There are many things which i wanna do but just because I am lazy, I simply excuse myself to make me less guilty concious.

1) I wanted to improve on my portfolio, an excuse for me not to continue my contract with my ex company. But in the end I never did do anything.

2) I wanted to pick up Maya, Flash, Freehand and improve my Photoshop skills but again I never did, even with a new PC. I even thought of getting a Dual processor 1.8 Ghz G5 jus to learn the mentioned software.

3) I gained weight in army. I bought a skipping rope because I have an excuse of not liking to run. I bought a $250 Nike Shox running shoes because I told myself or my mum then I will be using them to run.

4) I convinced myself in buying a $420 15GB ipod because I was lazy to lug around the CDs and my Cd player. I thought of getting a new one (4th generation, better battery, new click wheel, like the ipod mini)

5) I did the same in getting a digicam because I thought getting one is convenient ( it is as no films needed). I thought of getting a new $2K+ professional Digital SLR because I have so much limitations with my present one. I bought the digicam because I though I can use it to capture textures for 3D modeling.

6) I bought a $500++ professional 3D card cos I told myself I will be using the card to do 3D modeling.

7) I am thinking of changing to a new mobile (my current one just 3 months old) hhwahhaah cos I just feel like changing it to a new one so that I could have something to focus on. haha

8) I bought a new pair of speakers because I thought my old one was not good enough. I bought my old one then because I thought my older one was not good enough too.

9) I thought of getting a new pair of in ear bud noise isolation earphones (Shure E2c - $175 cash price, Shure E3C - $349 cash, Etymotics - $200+++ cash) cos I thought my current Grado SR60 $120, is too bulky. It still is too bulky because of the wires and it does not isolate noise if I wear them on the train or bus. but then the sound quality is top notch. It beats the lousy cheapo original ipod earphones hands and legs down.

And of cos there are many more. I know I need to touch up my portfolio but I am not doing anything. I just installed Maya 6 but I am simply too lazy to do anything. I did run through the tutorials last Sat when I just got hold of it. But today I simply wasted my day doing nothing. Why the hell am I not doing the things I should do and doing the things which I should not do ?

I think I give and gave myself so many excuses because I cannot make up my mind. It is a way to convince myself in some way. I told myself I am lazy because I am simply not willing and not knowing why I am so reluctant to do anything. Laziness to me, is an excuse.

I have been listening to F.I.R, a new Taiwanese band which has been making waves around Asia. They are really good !! Faye (lead singer) is so charming, whhahahaha though some commented she is very normal looking. My 1st impression of them was they reminded me of D.A.I especially Faye's big eyes. They are a band and the songs in this album are rather catchy and to my liking of course. Oh they will be having signature session tml at Westmall 7.00pm and one other place in the earlier part of the day.

I wanna watch i,robot and House of Flying Daggers !!!!! AAaaaarrrrghhh

Our poor soon to be PM, BG Lee Hisen Long was caught in between a cross fire between China and Taiwan. I was not entirely suprised at the Chinese's outrage but yet surprised that they made such a remark. My opinion is that the Chinese are too sensitive, narrow-minded and getting alot more like North Korea. DPM Lee picked a excellent time to visit Taiwan. Well being a small fry, I guess no matter how much anger I felt, it probably will not make a difference in the situation. China is a big bully and Singapore is so small, it only has to take the "beatings"

China does not seem to respect any smaller countries especially those who are deemed as supportive of Taiwan's stint of independence. DPM Lee is right, Singapore is a independent republic and if a high authority has to succumb to another country's beck and call on minor issues, what image will Singapore give to the rest of the world ? The Chinese government like North Korea is forever so uptight about almost everything. While North Korea probably has nothing worth investing about, China can boast of its super fast developing and vast economy. Its sheer population is too much a temptation to be missed. The main culprit should be Taiwan's president. He is the one who caused so much tension between China and Taiwan. The vice president is not much better.

To think again, I do not think Mr Goh Chok Tong will pick such an auspicious period to visit Taiwan, regardless of what political or personal reasons. Especially now, when tension between the 2 states is sky high, any one who struck the wrong cord will have his/her fingers snapped. Yeah and someone's fingers really got snapped.

Most Asians being poor for most of the time are really a uncultured bunch. Look at how mainland Chinese,Taiwanese,North Koreans, Malaysian, Indonesian leaders behave.

What a mess and I wonder who is going to clear up. I think our dear old SM Lee should do something. Sad to say, we cannot afford to mess up our relationship with China.

Another night of NKF charity. Quite disappointing as i expect something more spectacular. It's always the usual stuff, either for ill kids or people with kidney problems. There will be always a story to tell and poor Mediacorp artistes will be doing things normal artistes do not do on TV. But then again it is show biz, Mediacorp is not dumb enough to let its artistes get so hurt they need to be on medical leave for a few months delaying their schedule.

As I see the suffering kids with all kinds of ailments. For those kids who are borned with a defective brain and other associated diseases, like the 6 yr old gal who was featured this evening. I really do pity the parents. If they have a choice or if they know beforehand that their child will be like this for the rest of her life, will they bring her to this world ? What is the point of giving birth to a child who cannot take care of his/herself ? Like the 6 yr old gal, she cannot talk, stand, walk, eat, drink. She could not do anything. What is the point ? In this practical and cruel world where everything need to be perfect, in terms of looks and everything, where can this little gal go or be in the future ?

In the natural world, the weak, sick and old are often the ones to be devoured or killed or die. It is the survival of the fittest. This is to ensure only the ones with the best genes or those in the best of health live. Humans are weird, they just cannot accept the fact that a child with a defective brain or other diseases which make them "different" simply makes them to be better dead than alive.

Like in the case of the poor 6 yr old gal or other kids with the same disease. Let's say if she dies one day, it will be better off for herself, (if she ever knows that she is in pain or her parents are suffering) AND her parents. It is simply a matter of fact. For the other children who maybe suffering from bone diseases or heart diseases, yes they might be crippled or be in disadvantage from other people, but they can still recieve education like any other. They might need long-term medical treatment, they might need to have operations to improve their conditions. In other words, they have hope. I think these are the ones who really need the charity, the money. For a child who is with half a brain, what hope is there ? What is the point of prolonging their life to make them suffer the pain they do not deserve ? What is the point of making their parents suffer ? For morality ? For what ?

This evening's show is indeed a little sub standard. Or is it the fact that we are seeing these kinda acts for like 4 times a year that we have grown numb against it ? There will be NKF charity for kidney patients, now NKF charity for disabled kids, President Charity and one other. Almost for each event, we donated like 10 million dollars. In other words, we are donating like almost 40+ million dollars each year. S$4000 0000. This is only a very marginal amount, do not forget those amount donated from other organisations, rich people. Do they need so much money to run ?

Next yr, I think we will have Fann Wong or Zoe Tay frying chicken wings, youtiao in a pot of boiling oil with their bare hands. Or we might have how long can a person endure a million watts of electricity for 5 min just for $1000 000 dollars. How about bidding $10000 for every shred of Fann Wong's porceline like skin ? Sharon Au had already "shang dao shan" ( climb a moutain of knives ), Wang Hui had fu tang and Jacky and Tay Ping Hui had dao huo ( throw yourself in hot soup and jump into fire ). Think the only thing left is "xia you guo" ( get into a pan/wok or oil). Oh wait, we still have the Chinese 18 levels of hell. This could be a good selling idea for next or coming charity events, right MediaCorp ?

Thanks to a packet of chicken chop I had for supper, i had diarrohea from midnight until 4+ in the morning and I had to wake up at 7.30. I was dead tired and my mind was not working well.

1st day of work

- Reached workplace at 0850. The office door was locked, apparently, no one was there except me.

- Sat at the coffee shop table basking the warm morning sun. I meant it. The sun was warm and nice and I was hoping to get abit of tan as I am too fair for a guy.

- No one came, I called the boss, he asked me to continue waiting and so I did.

- Finally someone came at 0915+ a colleague whom I nv met before. haha..

- Got nothing to do. Making things worse, my allocated PC had no internet access, I was trying to get an internet connection but to no avail. Colleagues came and nv spoke to me. Finally one did and subsequent another came to help me set up my PC - finally for internet and email.

- Dilly dally until lunch time. Waited like 20+ min for one plate of fried rice, not bad and reasonbly priced.

- Back to office, boss was back. He briefed me on how to update client database. NB ! It was really brief ! I could hardly catch what he was trying to say and then he asked me to go update after forwarding me 15 emails which contained information on the inventory items.

- Another colleague briefed me on taking technical phone calls. This is one of the jobscope I will be helping her in. well I am supposed to take over this technical helpdesk thing. The briefing was nothing. In the end I still could not get much of it esp the email forwarding part. There was like 1295 technical emails on the mail server and I was supposed to reply them all ? Luckily one colleague who was about to quit helped me to siphon off most of the redundant emails.

- Helped boss to run an errand to the bank. It was pouring. This was to help bank in a cash cheque for one of the other boss stationed now in Malaysia. The only thing given to me was a cheque and the reciepient's debit card no. Then the bank teller lady told me she found a direct link to the person's bank acct and she advised me to bank direcly into it instead of banking into the debit acct. This will make the money to be available sooner. I told boss abt it and he was quite "unhappy", thinking I did not fulfil his orders. I explained to him that debit cards all have a direct bank acct which the deductions of transactions are based upon. He thought his colleague did not have a UOB account. I said, if he had no such account, how did he manage to pay his debit card transactions ? This is how a debit card work !

- Continued updating the database after downloading the chunk of emails which I dunno what to do about them. The other boss called and asked me to get an EZ Link card for a new foreign colleague who will be coming tomorrow. I got $30 from the boss and bought a $25 Ez link card with $17 worth of travel fare.

- Went back home,dinner,watched Xi Ling Meng,bathed, on pc. Feeling tired, stressed,confused,intimidated. Depression and anxiet are creeping up on me, yet again.

This was my nth trip to the zoo, this time was with my ex-polymates and one of their ex-sec sch mates. I went to the zoo several times during poly times for assignment and project research and once during NS days. It was a long day at the zoo. We were there from 10+am to 4+pm. HWahahhaz The weather was fine with a bit of drizzle but overall it was cooling throughout.

Not sure of any new highlights cos everything still looked the same for me. Except for the brighter,classier entrance with a new fountain. Took quite a number of fotos and experimented with my ex-classmate's SLR who just returned from Canada for summer holidays. Had quite a time trying to focus as his camera was heavy. We happened to meet a company which was organising its family day at the zoo. Tons of people along with noisy children, tourists who like to feed racoons as if they are pandas. *rolleyes*

Speaking of feeding the animals. I was suprised my day was not spoilt by 2 inconsiderate China (hey-ho behold !) tourists who were trying to feed a brood of racoons with julie's cheese crackers (i think,i was not observing). I even told the lady who was about to throw a chunk of crackers into the racoons' enclosure just to see them poised upnot to feed the animals. There was also this 11 yr old boy from Indonesia ? He was trying to intimidate the white tiger by yelling at it, indirectly into my ears too as I was besides him trying to focus my friend's SLR on the white tiger. Why not I push him into the enclosure so that he can whine and scream at the tigers ? Better still, we can see live tiger feeding habits with a live pig.

At the reptiles section, we saw some 2-3 yr old toddlers banging their fists at the glass covers. It will be better if the glasses broke and the constrictors or pythons to give those pesky brats a nice warm (not) hug which they will never forget. Like one of my friends had said before, there is a class difference between ang mohs and Asians. For example like in the baboons arena, the ang moh children were so well-behaved, they had interest in feeding them ( $1 per plate of fruits) and to see their feeding habits and everything. They were interested in the animals instead of having a sadistic instinct to scare them. No doubt they were excited too. They have parents educating and explaining to them.

The Chi-na(s) and peasants of other Asian countries (excluding Japan,Korea) were different. They could not distinguish a crocodile from a dinosaur. Though a croc is more of a living fossil. They allow their children to shout,irritate,use flashes at the animals. They are more captivated by the animals than telling their children more about the animals. Not surprised they know nothing in the 1st place.

One thing about the zoo is it can really stink real bad. I was almost suffocating from a gale of anmonia and organic gases from nearby defaecation. HAHA..Well not as bad when I was trying to take a foto of the white tiger when a breeze of spices and goats milk made my head spin for a millisecond. I guess some of those animals stink (to us humans) because they have thick fur. So I believe this is the same for some races of Asians. No, Chinese are not hairy.

Will you stop a peasant tourist from feeding crackers to a animal if you happen to see one doing so ? How many of us know we are not supposed to do that in the 1st place ?

I am offered a job. This time is a position of a office adminstrator in one E-commerce firms in Singapore (whereelse) Well it is the 2nd time I went to this company for an interview. The 1st was sometime back in Dec 2002 when I was clearing leave and was beginning to look for a job. It was the post of a web/multimedia designer then. Obviously, I did not make it. This time round, prior to the interview I realised more or less the career path which I wanna take up. I reckon doing project managment is something which I will wanna take it on for a career. Well at least project management in design firms.

The interview was long and I felt like I was being interrogated. I went there at ard 6pm which was the appointed time for the interview and I left at 7.30pm. There was alot of talking and asking. What I did in my previous job, why my PES Status was C2, why this why that. : / One of the more shocking thing was the boss actually called the 2 referees right in front of me whom I listed down in my resume. I was a little taken aback. He called my ex Assistant Manager but could not get her. Then he called my ex-officer in NS. Well not sure what my sir told him but I guessed it was not something which was bad. Well, I think I did a good job as my officer's PA back in camp in most areas. I get my work done fast and immediate when needed. I knew my work well. Don't talk abt "chao geng" like taking MCs n urgent leaves. Everyone does that especially in such a "well-run" ISO standard organisation like SAF.

It was quite a surprise when he asked me when can I start work. I told him I will be working next mon if possible and he prompted "why" again. I replied I need to clear off somethings and also to prepare myself. He said something abt my new haircut. Why my back was like the way it is now (long & wispy). I was like huh, "this is not army leh" For the jobscope, he mentioned that it will be stressful more or less as I'll be helping everyone in the office and dealing with people which is never easy. It is a new position again, like back in my ex-company. I have a thing for being the pioneer and paving a way for further candidates for the same position. One thing I liked abt this position is the working hours, it is from 9.00am-6.00pm and a 5 day week. Somewhat the "ideal" working time for most people.

Back in my head I was thinking, why for a simple administrative position do I need to undergo so much of a interrogation. (so it was not simple after he explained more in detail abt the actual jobscope) The same thing goes for my ex-company. For my ex-company, I was tested if I know how to use Excel and Word. I was thinking why do I need to be tested ? Just because I am a DIPLOMA holder ? I dun rem seeing the DEGREE holders interviewees being tested the same thing. Well all I can say is some of the DEGREE holders dun even know basic Excel cell editing. Just because they NTU or NUS graduate or graduates some other Uni dun mean they can work better or better in everything. Singapore's educational system is so outdated and flawed. And because this system is so deeply rooted into the local culture,almost all companies (local) will have a preference for people with better or higher academic paper qualifications.

My PS 2 is not working !!!!! Just when I was abt to complete my game~~~~!!!! The stupid lens/read head mst be faulty. Now I will have to spend quite a sum to get myself a new set. Repairing as told is not recommended as the problem will resurface in a short time.

If anyone of u uses IE 6, it is better for u not to use it for the time being. The reason is an old security issue has resurfaced. Anyone who is more IT savvy will know that IE has a long history of security issues which attackers can make use of its loopholes to compromise anyone's PC. More often the Active X feature is the main cause. Recently there are more and more attacks on Billy G products, be it the OS or the explorer or its Office suite. Windows although its the most common OS in the PC world today is actually full of problems which often not seen by the end user. Windows is still a DOS based OS. The main core of the system is still DOS, from what my cousin told me then. I am not sure now.

And because it is DOS based, the DOS core is not actually written to be "upgradeable" It is just a simple OS program to function. Thus when Windows 95 and above were introduced, those were simply seriously patched up operating systems. This somewhat make these 2 OS so buggy. Windows 95 is not so bad, but Windows 98 and Windows ME are probably 2 of the worst operating systems ever made by Billy G. Windows 98 can even hang when one moves the mouse too fast, like my gf's pc. Win ME is not better, its just another pretty repackaged Win 98 (repatched) which is even more buggy than Win 98. But the PC which i was using at my ex-company was running on Win ME and its quite oke. Think it must be due to the abundant RAM (128mb). Of course there is Windows NT, well it is said to be a more stable OS but still it gives the blue screen of death.

Then comes Windows 2000 prob the best Windows system ever. It is actually Windows NT 5.0 based on the NT code. Rock stable. Win XP though said to be based on Win NT / 2000 is not quite as good as Win 2000, no doubt its very eye catching. I m wondering why the previous prgmmers of older Windows liked gray so much. My Windows 2000 was running very smoothly on my old PIII 866 with 256MB RAM. Win XP takes up too much system resources.

The reason why attackers are so attracted to attacking MS products is due to its popularity. windows is popular is not due to its fantastic features. It is full of security loopholes. it is buggy and need constant patches. (windows update anyone ?) But such a crap product still managed to dominate 95% of the PC market ! Of course, anti-Americans and Anti Billy G people will be seeing red naturally. Thus the entire ecology of trojans, viruses.

Anyway if I have the money, I wld rather use a Macintosh.

I was not surprised by the reaction of local peasants with regards to this issue of breast feeding in public. To think a lady was even chased away because she was breast feeding her baby at the Esplanade by a security officer. I shall be a little racist here. I am quite sure this security officer is a pundei foreign talent who only have some basic education. Is breast feeding an act of obscenity ? During one of the interviews shown during the show, there was this fat tanned lady who said breast feeding a baby was something which was obscene and offending. So were the comments for some people of younger generation. Seeing all these feedback from my fellow country people made me ashamed. I am pretty sure these people who commented that breast feeding is obscene do not watch documentaries. They are a bunch of peasants living in some kampong era who only watch noisy dramas like Xi Ling Meng. I remembered there was this 13 /14 YO teenager who said he will be embarassed if he sees a mother breastfeeding her baby.

What is there to be embarassed about ? Like the chair-person of the er..breast feeding society (?) had said, what in the world are these people thinking about when they see a mother feeding her baby with her own milk. They will imagine they can see the whole breast. Why ? Because we are in this peasant society with morons who have never seen a mother feeding her baby (the most natural way) in public or whatsoever. I am sure some of these people surf adult websites or seen adult movies before. Are they more embarassed when they see those nudities ? I certainly do not think so. I think such ridiculous feedback will tarnish the image of local people, if it's not tarnished enough.

For the sake of educating some peasants who might read this entry. Well do you know that humans are mammals ? How to see if this animal is a mammal - a mammal gives birth to live young and feeds its young with milk. They have fur or hair on their bodies. Examples of mammals are cats,dogs, monkeys or primates, whales, dolphines. No, whales and dolphines are not fishes. Huh ? You mean you dunno ? Well I repeat, whales and dolphines are not FISHES BECAUSE THEY DUN HAVE SCALES AND THEY DO NOT LAY EGGS like some fishes do. Humans like mammals produce live young, have hair on their bodies. (Look in the mirror if you do not know you have hair. Ask your mother if you are not sure whether you are hatched from an egg or born live. )

Pasir Ris encountered a blackout in the evening. WOW ~ ! The event of the Tues blackout is so serious now the PAP wants to investigate. yay ~

I went for 2 interviews today, one at the company responsible for enabling you to use your pc and other one was for this new company who recently set up a 24 hr movie rental franchise. The 1st one was more or less a call center, the only diff was that I will be calling the customers. HAHA. It is a 3 yr contract instead of the 1 yr stated by the agency. The other one was again a back support role but the working hours is so irregular. I do not like to work on weekends. Well the call center one was more regular. But its a 5.5 day work. Nah, nothing to worry now as I am not even offered the positions.

As usual, I am alittle slow in addressing big local events. On Tues there was a major blackout affecting 1/3 of Singapore. On last night's news I was shocked to see so many areas hit by the blackout as I only thought Boon Lay was affected.

This again shows how vulnerable modern society is today. One minor fault in the generators and the whole city can go down. Imagine a terrorist attack ! WHAHAHAHAHA.. All is gone. Indeed such a foreign technical fault is not Singapore Power's but then I'm wonderiing if they have better power backout system. A backup system should be on 24 hours and always ready to take on any major blackout the moment the main generator becomes faulty. But then the backup generator which ran on disel took about 2+ hours to start functioning. I am no engineer, this is only a layman's point of view of how an ideal backup generator should work. Just a few months ago, there was another blackout.

Like I said in previous entry, Singapore is losing its postion as a developed country. Look at the basic infrastructure. Blackouts happen every 6 months. And often it hit those major factory areas like Boon Lay. For a manufacturing company which produces goods 24/7, a 45 min laspe = millions of dollars lost. What is happening to the management of SG Power ? Its not like this a few years ago,blackouts dun happen every 6 months or so. Imagine those companies servers..a blackout can turn the company computer system upside down. So who is going to pay ? Remember the issue a couple of years ago when SG Power's new computer system is so buggy that it charge extra charges for almost the whole of singapore ?

Changi Airport just got a server problem for 10 min. Recently there was an air-con breakdown for 4 hours ! Look at Singapore now !!! Nicoll High Way collapse...blackouts...What is next ? Changi Airport blackout for 5 hours,all planes delay ? Or airport run way collapse/ cave in ? Backward internet speed,frequent blackouts,collasping roads,buildings. Singapore will be out in a few years time. Let's all move to China now. Quick ! At least China got faster internet speed, WHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA..
