Statistics from Malaysia
On the Straits Times today, page 8, they published some statistics from the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) to rebuff the HINDRAF, saying that the Indians in Malaysia are "NOT that badly off"
According to the statistics, which Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu DID not say where the statistics came from (1):
11.5% are professionals and managers
19.4% are associate professors, lecturers and nurses
22.9% are sales personnel
4.9% are agricultural wokers
9.4% are craft and trade workers
20.1% are machine operators
16.3% are elementary workers
not that bad you say? well the figures add up to 104.5% and not 100%.... hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm well Datuk Seri Samy is quick to add that it was due to rounding errors. Now what is rounding errors? rounding errors refer to the error makes when a person rounds up or down a figure to make it more manageable. So assuming that Datuk Seri Samy did round up all the figures, to cause such an increase, lets attempt to correct it. I'll minus 0.1% from all the figures, so instead of having a rounded up figure, it is now either the correct or a rounded down figure
11.4%
19.3%
22.8%
4.8%
9.3%
20%
16.2%
and that adds up to 103.9%. WHERE THE HELL DID MIC get their statistics from????????

desperate housewives
while watching season 4 of desperate housewives, this particular episode really strikes a chord with me. the part where andrew decided to move out because of the following conversation
##
Orson: After two nights of sleepless bonding with my son I nearly dozed off while repairing Mrs. Colby's cracked molar. I doubt if the crown I put in will last her a year.
Bree: So, you'll replace it for free.
Orson: That's not the point. How is a dentist supposed to feel when he can't give a 90-year-old a lifetime guarantee? Bree, I'm sorry but this whole family bed thing has to stop.
Bree: Oh, give it some time. We're still adjusting, and Benjamin is sleeping so soundly.
Orson: He can sleep just as soundly in a crib. From what you've told me, you and Rex didn't haul Andrew into bed with you.
Bree: No, and I wish we had. If we did he mightn't have turned out so...
Andrew: So, what? Stupid? Lazy? Short?
Bree: I was going to say angry.
##
then andrew decided to get a place of his own. bree went to visit and was absolutely appalled at the living conditions. but andrew wanted her to know its ok, he can make it. she couldn't see that he has changed. in her eyes, he still the same spoilt angry brat. and he was trying to tell her that he only wished she's noticed he has changed. he changed his way and even got a job to make ends meet.
the show ends with mary-alice saying "by denying the past, we are condemned to repeat it"
which is why i've learnt from the past, so that it doesn't repeat, so that things can be better.

from my psychology textbook
Expectancy confirmation: People’s beliefs about personality characteristics of others cause them to evoke in others actions that are consistent with initial beliefs
the intelligent minister yet again
this times its our PM Lee. While i sincerely respect him for whatever he has done, the way PAP deals with opposition makes me lose respect. i feel that PM Lee is even downright rude this time. As a leader of a nation, although he is from a political party, surely PAP can afford more grace than that, to say:
"Our five men are working hard, but the opposition's five have scattered like monkeys when the tree fell... They call it their A team, I say its A for AWOL."
dear mr prime minister. Unlike the PAP MPs and ministers who gets paid hundreds of thousands to millions a year, other people actually have to WORK! what on earth do you expect them to do? sit around till the next election with no income?
SERIOUSLY!
you've got ZERO respect from me when it comes to dealing with opposition.

what greek names to not give ur children
so my teacher venus has a brother called uranus, like the planet. unfortunately...
other quasi greek sounding names:
myanus
hissanus
heranus
theiranus
If your are chinese, and ur surname is Lim, Lim Tao Huay is not a good name for your daughter. If you are a Cai, Cai Por Ng is also not a good name.
Finally jem wants me to tell j-en to never to change her name to jade, she'll be called jade teo.
