25th Post: Eye Candies

Thought of updating the blog, but nothing to write about, so I'll share some pics in this new post, from the exciting 'Alice in the wonderland' movie by Tim Burton! First up, posters for the characters:


Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter


Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen


Anne Hathaway as The White Queen


Matt Lucas as Tweedledee & Tweedledum

They look nothing short of fantastic in their meticulously crafted costumes and make-up. And here's some eye-catching concept arts for the movie:


Alice and the talking flowers


Alice and the HUGE rabbit


Alice and the enigmatic twins

As a bonus, here's a snap shot for everyone's favorite Chesire Cat XD


I'm so looking forward to the movie, being set to premiere on March 2010 tentatively, don't forget to mark it down on your 'to watch' list!

24th Post: Crabs

Do you like to eat crabs? No, this post isn't about me eating crabs or how delicious they are. I recently came cross news about protecting crabs. Apparently, laws to protect animal generally only applies to vertebrate(don't throw away your bio just yet), but then there are moves to include the laws to crabs and lobsters as well(yup, the ones you eat at seafood restaurant) in the European countries. The reason for them to do so is because they found out that crabs have nervous system similar to us, so they deduce that they would experience pain as well.

Imagine when you boil the lobsters alive, they would scream like: OH~~ OH~~ my meat, my delicious meat is excruciatingly painful because of some ravenous human being who boiled me to fill their stomach!! So they think they can torture us like this just because they are some human being!! OH~~ OH~~ this is so inhumane and they still call themselves human being!! OH~~ OH~~ Can't they imagine the feeling of being boiled in such hot water of 100 degree celcius? Don't they have any intelligence at all and yet they still call themselves human being....

Ok, let's stop here. I'll leave the rest to your imagination but I guess you would have understand by now.=D But would a crab really experience pain just because they have the nervous system? Crabs can hear too, but do you REALLY think they know how to enjoy opera(by Sarah Brightman)? Some proposed that crab would not feel pain because their nervous system would fail at 25 degree celcius, so it would be a mistake to include them in the welfare laws. Well, what do you think?

23rd Post: Emoness

It's been quite some time since I last blogged, just not in the mood to do so even right now, just doing this to keep the blog alive. I wouldn't really associate 'emo' with me usually, but somehow I got kinda emo plus stressful lately thanks to all those terrible essays topics that I need to write for the university application. All those topics are like wanting to dig into the deepest core of my soul and find out what's really hidden in there. I have to ask myself all sorts of abstract question that test me on my understanding to life and myself. At this rate I will be bald in a few months time... Ok, time to give this emo person some time to calm down...

p/s: OMG, I just thought that it is a coincidence, but one of the university I'm applying to, Colgate University actually have a strong tie with William Colgate, the maker of Colgate Toothpaste!
