Steve Jobs passing

Long time didn't blog. I need a placeholder to remind myself about the greatness of Steve Jobs. Here is his more powerful words:

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life,” Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005.

“Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

There's no such thing as racist

The reason why Chinese will always vote for opposition is because of the things said below is just making Chinese even more mad. I guess until UMNO banned Perkasa and institute equality for all, Chinese will not vote for BN.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 — Umno Supreme Council member Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said it is not fair to label the nationalist movement, Pertubuhan Peribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa) as a racist organisation merely because it defends the sovereignty of the constitution.

He said what was being championed by the organisation was not aimed at bringing down or stealing the rights of any group but to uphold what had already been enshrined in the constitution.

“Perkasa is not a racist (organisation)...there is no such word as racist in the Malay culture, racist only exists in the West because we had never carried out any ‘ethnic cleansing’.

“When Perkasa defended the Malay supremacy, it is actually a question of pride of the race and progress of the race,” he said in his speech when launching the ‘Jaguh Care Educational and Welfare Fund’, here tonight.

The setting up of the ‘Kelab Jaguh’ aims to give aid to the people of Pasir Mas, Kelantan who are residing outside the state, especially in terms of education and welfare.

Puad said there were also other non-governmental organisations fighting for their respective causes, but they were not labelled as racist by others.

Meanwhile at a media conference later, Puad said accusations hurled by certain quarters that Umno was a racist party and that it was one of the factors for the drop in the percentage of Chinese votes, was not right.

He said it happened because of racial issues raised by DAP.

“Perhaps because of the confusion, many Chinese voters opted for PKR,” he added. — Bernama

Cellphone is getting bigger each day

I remember during the 90s, everyone is crazy about miniaturization of handphone. In 1999, during the pinnacle of phone miniaturization, Nokia came out with model 8210 and it was the de facto coolest phone at that time. Everyone was spotted with one.

I'm the odd one out. Even though I can afford to buy it, but I instead opt for the largest screen at that time and got myself Nokia 7110. It was almost look like Matrix banana phone (Nokia 8110). 

But nowaday, people start to behaving like me. Getting the biggest screen size they can get. Am I living ahead of people?
