A few questions from my son
While we were heading home from his tuition class, we got stuck in a traffic jam.
He looked at the queue and said: Oh my god!
After 5 seconds, he asked me: Do you know what does OMG stand for?
With a smile, I said: Obviously I know.
He continued: Then I ask you something I learned from my friend. Do you know what does WTF stand for?
I : …………..
How should I answer? Anyone care to enlighten me?
Surrogates
A movie about human using robot as surrogates.
After watching the DVD, I must say that … the movie COULD HAVE been so much better. It has a good plot, but… sigh, the producer never explore such areas.
The movie only showcased how good and convenient it was in using surrogates. The story never successfully tell us why we should shunt the use of such robots.
Tom Greer disliked surrogates. He pleaded with his wife to stop using it. Again, the movie fail to portray the depth of his unhappiness and dislike, which drove him to such drastic action at the end of the movie.
Inevitably, one would compare Surrogates with I-robot. For me at least, I-robot win by a clear margin.
Rating: 5.5 / 10
Shocking attitude
I read this letter in The Star today. It was a response posted by a reader signed as Kamaruzaman Ujang. I picked one of the paragraph as example.

Graduates are blamed for their poor English. But look around you. Who speaks proper English in Malaysia today and who needs employees who speak fluent English?

This kind of attitude is shocking, to say the least. No wonder our country could not progress. We would be stuck in dark age, forever. Sigh.
Poor job by contractor, and fund missing, again?
I guess (and I think everyone will think the same thing), this is again another job which was done poorly by contractor (or sub sub sub contractor) with a huge portion of the fund missing?

Furious over frequent dry taps, some National Service (NS) trainees boycotted the training session at the White Resort Camp here.
A parent said, according to her son, there was no water in the bathrooms and toilets about two weeks ago…
Camp commandant Mej Rahidin Jalil said the management was addressing the water problems. He claimed that it was due to the current hot spell….
Penang Water Authority (PBAPP) corporate affairs manager K. Jeyabalan denied Mej Rahidin’s claims, saying the source of the water woes was a 25mm pipe which supplied water to the camp from the Bukit Genting reservoir.
“This pipe is only sufficient for a household. We have asked them to install a 150mm pipe but this was not done.

The Camp commandant trying to cover up a job which was poorly done? No surprise there.
