Al-Fatihah
Al-Fatihah ditujukan kepada seorang pelajar Minnesota (name terpaksa dirahsiakan) yang baru sahaja meninggal dunia pagi tadi pukul 6.41 am. Saudari berkenaan sedang menaiki basikal ketika dia dilanggar oleh sebuah pick up truck. Butiran selanjutnya boleh dibaca di akhbar minnesota daily and ABC5 (check out the video).
Diharapkan agar saudara/saudari yang membaca blog saya mengambil ikhtibar dengan mengajak sahabat2 anda untuk membaca Surah Yasin dan doa untuk saudari yang baru meninggal dunia.
p.s - I just wanna add that I arrived in Minnesota yesterday evening at 5.40 pm. Nafis and Esyam took me to target to do a little shopping. We were done y 6.30pm. As we were leaving Target, we bumped into this girl. Nafis and Esyam said hi. And about 12 hours after that, she died. Did I bring her the bad luck that I always had in me?? I use my bicycle to go to class/work everyday. Will I be able to cycle again?? Pressure sial. Arrggghhhhh!!!!

World Cup review (a really late one)
I know everybody doesn't give a shit about the World Cup anymore but I just wanted to say something about the event and what actually happened in my opinion. First of all, let me start by talking about predictions of the World Cup. Before the FAs of every country started naming their squad, the majority of the media and public already assumed that Brazil was going all the way to the final and win the World Cup. Well, I know I did.
Come on guys, don't tell me you didn't have the same feeling before the event. We all thought the Brazilians were too good for the home side or any other team including France and Italy. They had a couple of Fifa Player of Year winners, world reknowned dribblers and even their subtitutes were world class players. That was how much depth they had in their squad.
About a month before the event, the FAs were naming their squad. As usual I was interested in England's preparation since I am a Premiership hard core fan. It was understandable when Sven wanted to include Owen (even though he wasn't fully fit) since he's the #1 target man for the team. But what confused me was why Sven included Theo Walcott, a teenager who has never played for Arsenal, only had a couple of games with the England squad and never has he proven to everybody that he was worth playing for the England team in the World Cup. Why the fuck did Sven include Walcott when Defoe was ready to play and represent his country???
Then came the World Cup, and after a couple of games Owen was already injured. Sven had Rooney, Crouch and Walcott. Instead of using Rooney and Crouch, he opted for Rooney and 5 midfilders. I know England has many world class midfilders (Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham and Hargreaves) but Rooney wasn't a one man show kind of guy. He is used to playing behind another striker like Ruud. This was the main reason why England fucked up, Rooney couldn't adapt to his new role/position. To add from bad to worse, Rooney stepped on a Portugal player's balls real hard and then he was back stabbed by his Man Utd teammate C.Ronaldo which made the ref had no choice but to send Rooney to the changing room.
Brazil on the other hand had a great group stage. They had a good run until the quarter final stage when they faced France. Somehow they couldn't convert the many chances that they had. Henry was the 'man' for France as he forced Brazil out of the competition for good.
To be honest, France didn't play as a recent World Cup winner in the group stages. They looked as though they were going out in the second round but somehow in the game versus Brazil, Zidane stepped up and steered his team to the semis and finals. Even though Zidane turned into a rhinoceros and attacked Materazzi, Zizou definitely deserve to the Best Player of the World Cup. I think anybody would do the same thing if he/she heard what Materazzi was saying.
Maybe Brazil didn't win the fuckin' World Cup, but this girl definitely got some Cups. Daymmmnnnn.

Intel kicked AMD's nuts .. real hard
All this while we've been putting our trust on AMD processors not because we believe their performance was really good but the fact that their prices are so cheap compared to Intel (like a couple of hundred bucks) made AMD processors our number one choice.What we didn't know was that up until Athlon 64 X2, AMD conquered the CPU battle between them and Intel. Even computer magazines gave rave reviews to AMD chips. It was the ultimate gaming machine. AMD held the title until July 24th when Intel released it's brand new microprocessor, the Core 2 Duo to the public.
The Core 2 Duo is better than Athlon 64 X2 and FX by a mile. You can find many .. many reviews on the net but I'm here just to summarize what are the excellent features this chip has. It performs shockingly well in video recording, graphics, gaming, Photoshop and multitasking compared to AMD. It is more power efficient and has a lower temperature at full throtle over-clocking. You can even do your own porn video (this is for Serip and Giant). Basically, Core 2 Duo is the best in all aspects.
I'm not promoting Intel just because I've applied for a job at Intel Penang Design Center :), I'm doing this because I'm the kind of person who appreciates technology, which is the reason why I chose Electrical Engineering. You've got to accept the facts all say that Intel Core 2 Duo is better.
But in the end, I think I'm gonna stick with AMD chips and I believe that the majority of the people will do the same too. Why? It's so damn cheap compared to Intel. It's just like how a lame ass car maker like Hyundai can be 1 out of 6 biggest car makers in the world. Hyundai is also outselling Honda by a ratio of 2:1 in the UK. The reason? The cheaper the products you sell the more power you have in the market share.
Anyhew, I can't wait for AMD's X2 chips to have a price 'downfall' because later this year AMD is releasing its triple core processor. But I read somewhere that Intel is coming up with a quad core processor this winter. Better start saving up!

Bahasa Melayu ke Bahasa Malaysia?
What the fuck is wrong with Utusan Malaysia or the people at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Don't they have better things to do than to create ridiculous words or terms that make no sense at all.
Today I read an article in Utusan about MAS's plan to increase their domestic flight's fair by 15% or something like that and then this comes out:
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi mahu rakyat memahami keputusan Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS) menaikkan tambang domestiknya sebanyak 15 peratus bagi kelas ekonomi dan 25 peratus bagi kelas perniagaan berkuat kuasa 15 Ogos ini.
Kelas perniagaan???? What the fuck is kelas perniagaan?? Adakah ia kelas mengajar teknik2 berniaga?? I know what the writer meant was Business Class but c'mon man .. isn't it better if the writer had kelas mewah instead of kelas perniagaan? How stupid does that sound .. kelas perniagaan. Just imagine this. You and your friends are planning a trip for the coming school holidays. Suddenly, one dude utters "Ape kate kalau kite ke Langkawi ambik kelas perniagaan MAS." Meon then responded "WOW bestnye naik kelas perniagaan. Terase macam Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk K pulak naik kelas perniagaan nih. Dah naik nanti boleh buat muke puas Datuk K." WARGHWARGHWARGH KROHKROHKROH ... I know only a dumbass would say such things but still ..
Even if it's a mistake doesn't it seem too ridiculous for a newspaper that has been established for a very long time to make such mistakes. If you scroll down today's section of Utusan you can find Malam Expresi blahblah ... Expresi another word translated direct from the English vocabulary, expression. I also heard somewhere the writer wrote kongratulasi translated from .. well you know the word. It's so obvious anyways. Why do the people at Utusan or DBP have to translate words from the English language to describe things/events/whuteva? Why instead of kongratulasi they can't use tahniah or syabas?
But the problem is .. how do you expect these people to change if the government is also doing the same thing. Why suddenly Belanjawan negara was changed to Budget even though both those words have the same meaning. Is the government trying to prove that after 49 years of independence, our country is still mentally influenced by the the people who used to colonise us?
One more thing I want to add and this goes to DBP. Why the fuck would you put the word KELING in the fuckin dictionary?? Don't they know that the word is sensitive to Indians or is DBP just full of fuckin idiots who know shit about multi racial society? You can't just put what ever you want just because it's a Malay Dictionary. Use your fuckin brains will yeah. For god's sake even the Chinese leaders were angry when one Malay Parliament member called the Indians Keling in Parliament.
Tuhan dah bagi akal guna aaa.
