I believe, Ich glaube, Io credo, Je crois...

Im not a polyglot, i just look them up on some online translation dictionaries. tis easy and google is wonderful. As i always say and reiterate here again, Google is my friend and i love google. period.

These days you can seriously look up ANYTHING and EVERYTHING on google. Some people say that i am a stalker but i claimed not. stalker = private detective and i havent reached that standard yet. Im still unable to uncover stuff that are buried in secret databases. All i CAN do is to look up a person's profile on facebook, note the groups he/she joins and therefore deduce their affilations and hobbies and what nots. A casual ( note CASUAL) search on msn by typing one's name or between inverted commas for narrowing of search results usually yield just what u want to find. Normally people posts things on the net INCLUDING facebook thinking that those videos, photos and WORDS remain their copyrighted property and wont ever reach unintended hands. WRONG. if search engines can pick up those info, so can the whole world. Whats added to the mix is as google expands, they take over more websites like facebook and blogger and add these into their search engines, tts why google search engine is almighty u noe. haha. fyi. not the meat of this post.

Okay, i believe in sharing.

First, i shall share this wonderful secluded photoshop which washes all my photos now for a cheap rate of only 15 cents per 4R photo. There is of course a minimum amount of 100 pcs. You will be glad to know that they provide express service. So one hour later, your photos are due for collection. However, the sad thing is its located in a not so obvious, somewhere hidden in an old HDB estate...

i believe that aunties make the world go round.

Remember the so called "invisible hand" that drives the economy toward a perfect market sort of result and makes real life close to essay-scripted results? hahas all those IDEAL models of economics. So i think that aunties actualy are the invisible hand! They make it their onus to find out whats cheap out there and whats not and more importantly, they spread the word! they share! (in line with my first belief) So assuming ideal transmission of information, this will cause everyone to boycott those expensive stalls and go buy the cheap ones. This is of course assuming homogenous products. sounds familiar eh? haha. so the results will follow the Law of Demand and all the rubbish models i learn 2/3 years ago. rubbishy stuff but yes. oh just a random comment: politicians are actually like economists. they analyse countries' economies and try to improve on them. right? so to be a good politician, u have to have some sort of knowledge on economics and i guess human geog. not my cup of tea definitely.

i believe that in this technology age, its everyone's onus to upgrade themselves on the new useful (not trendy) technology constantly, or risk ,as we always like to say in secondary school chinese essays, 淘汰. hahas. yerps. Technology is afterall invented to help make everything faster and hence more efficient. The downside to all these is that dependence on electricity and lack of regard of consequeces to the environment is appalling. So if one day 全世界都停了电 (according to tank) then we would have to go back to the tools of the highest technology that does not require electricity. One simple example is how students nowadays dont noe how to use log tables and normal distribution tables anymore cos there is the all-powerful graphic calculator, im the victim here. haha.

okays, thats all for now...til i feel like writing again...
