If you see my userpage, you can see now I have a website and yep that's my homepage. I'm bored this summer so I read some Dreamweaver books I have and made this website. Go have a look and tell me what you think, oh yeah remember to sign the guestbook too.

It's not very nice compare to some other artist's homepage but never mind I'm still learning how to make it look better. And thus, gimme your suggestion so I can improve. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry that not much photography is going for me. I didn't go anywhere interesting as I just stayed in the basement during this summer or do some work at school. If I have the chance to travel around sure I'll submit tons of new photo but unfortunately I am not. If I am to go back to Malaysia sometime in the future I will be able to take more interesting photo that I didn't when I lived there before, such as the famous Twin Tower and also some beautiful buildings in Singapore such as Esplanade.

Started doing some Naruto fan art lately. Naruto is a really awesome comic and anime and I get addicted to it so much. Now I'm chasing each episode weekly, you get to downloaded the fansub version of latest Naruto episode after a few days of the original Japan showing on TV. The same thing happens for the comic and all these keep me entertained every week.

Talking about Naruto fan art, as you've seen here is Sasuke (that one is ugly), Naruto (this one is okay), and Hinata (this one gets better). I hope I can make better fan art each time I tried and the feeling is great to accomplish a nice anime picture. I hope I can keep going and get better but school gonna start soon and I gotta review my stuff. I need to ace the upcoming Engineering Physics 2nd year.

Okay, wonder how's all you people reading this doing. Hope you do great and enjoy yourself.

P.S. Check out the Poker Game I wrote using Visual Basic 6.0. You can download it at the download section at my homepage.

Uhh, I haven't been active recently have I? Sorry for that, now let me update about what's going on lately.

Actually, there's nothing much. I've finished my engineering first year and is enjoying the summer holiday right now. I don't have any summer school or summer job, just a part time psychology lab "work" for which I have to spend one and a half hour in the lab and getting 15 bucks for it. It's not that bad. Being an international student really sucks. Like I'm not allowed to work off campus, even working on campus isn't easy as you have to compete with other canadian, if not, other senior international student. I hope I can get a job in the summer next year, if not, I'll probably just go back to my home country, Malaysia.

Not much photography going on for me. I'm stuck in the little basement and I don't really want to spend much money going around. Cooking myself dinner everyday, but still my cooking sucks and I have to suffer my own cooking, argh! Can't spend much on buying food, and it's cheaper to cook yourself too. For those of you who has your mum cooking dinner for you everyday, god, you're lucky! I'm serious, you probably won't appreciate it until you're in a situation like mine. Damn, I miss home food.

I'm rather addicted to the Naruto anime recently and I have 14.5GB of Naruto anime in my computer, some downloaded from Kazaa, others from bit torrent. I hope I can burn them onto DVD soon so I can free up my harddisk. Naruto is really cool, and you can actually download the free manga(comic) from some fan site such as [link]

I'll probably draw something when I'm bored. I'm reading books when I have free time, or just play Warcraft TFT online. I always log into the US West Gateway, and my nick is eyn too. Ha, why am I talking about this, I bet none of my watcher play Warcraft, right?

And then I also do some programming. I have a Visual Basic book which I bought 2 or 3 years ago from Malaysia, and yeah I brought it here for me. Finally this summer I begin to start flipping through the pages and learn some programming. I rather enjoy it, even though I'm still consider very noob in this area. Right now I'm working on a poker program and hopefully it works well. I need to develop some artificial intelligent so that the computer can know how much to draw, if any, after receiving the first 5 cards.

That's pretty much it. And yeah I got my hair cut yesterday and now it's really really short. It used be really long though, but now it's summer and it's so hot I can't manage having long hair anymore. Short hair is good, esp. for summer.

Okay, I need to start cooking my dinner now. Hope all of you reading this don't find it boring and hope you enjoy doing whatever you're doing. Tell me what's your plan for the summer too, if you would like to share. And lastly, sorry for all the late reply on your comments. During March and April I was busy preparing for the final exams and such and the comments just gradually increased to quite a large amount. And my laziness told me it would be better to do it all at once, and I did, today.


P.S. Do you guys saw my avatar on the front page? Heh, I wrote a news about the Yahoo! Mail and guess what? It's there on the frontpage muahahaha!

Yes, having the Engineering Physics project as my 2nd project for this term, I am able to visit the nuclear reactor on my campus, the only one in Canada within a university I think? It was pretty cool, and the building is actually pretty old, probably they built it in the 60s. Anyway, nuclear reactor is cool, it's under a pool of water which is about 10m deep I suppose. Then that guy start to explaining the shielding and stuff. Security is tight and you need to be "scanned" before leaving the reactor. The guy told us that the water is to cool down the reactor as it goes really hot and the mechanism will break down if it happens (out of control I mean). You can't reallly see what's happened in the reactor, just know that it's underwater and there's some kind of fluorenscent blue coming out of it, maybe just some decoration light, dunno. fyi, the water does not just cool the thing down, it also act as a medium to slow down the neutrons and other particles coming out of the reactor when fission occurs. If the particle is not slowed down, it is hard to shield it even if u have "meters" of lead or concrete. When you reduce the speed of the particles, things get easier for effective shielding. That is the hydrogen atoms that act as the slowing down medium, imagine billard ball hitting another, that's how the original high speed "ball" get to slow down, or convert its energy to another "ball".

Hope I don't have any wrong idea written here, coz I'll be misleading that way. Anyway, just that it's a cool trip and I have my materials test in 2 hours! Engineering life just sucks! Yeah, it does!

Cancerous Food & Products

If you all eat satay, don't ever forget to eat the cucumber, because eating satay together with carbon after barbequing can cause cancer.

But we have a cure for that... cucumber should be eaten after we eat the satay because satay has carcinogen (a cancer causing element) but cucumber is anti-carcinogenic. So don't forget to eat the cucumber the next time you have satays.

Do not eat shrimp/prawn if you have just taken vitamin C pills!! This will cause you to die in Arsenic (As) toxication within hours!!

Try this and see whether the pork you bought has worms. There goes with your " Bak Kut Teh" for those who love it. Most men love to eat this so watch out before it's too late.

If you pours Coke (yes, the soda) on a slab of pork, wait a little while, you will see worms crawl out of it.

According to a message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the bad effects of pork consumption, pig's bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases.

Although some of these infestations are harboured in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far more predisposed to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because PIGS like to scavenge and will eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta including their own, garbage, and other pigs.

Influenza (flu) is one of the most famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is haboured in the lungs of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.

Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who eat pork sausage tend to suffer more during epidemics of influenza. Pig meat contains excessive quantities of histamine and imadazole compounds, which can lead to itching and inflammation; growth hormone which promotes inflammations and growth; sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to swelling and deposits of mucus in tendons and cartilage, resulting in athritis, rheumatism, etc.

Sulphur helps cause firm human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage.

Eating pork can also lead to gallstones and obesity, probably due to its high cholestrol and saturated fat content. The pig is the main carrier of the taenie solium worm, which is found in its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has richinosis from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork.

Many people have no symptoms to warm them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are not noticed during meat inspections.

Cancer-causing substances are found in Shampoo. Go home and check your shampoo. Change before it's too late... Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see they have a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or simply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos; manufacturers use it because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap.

But the fact is, SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong! It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no joke. Shampoos that contains SLS : Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, L'Oreal, the new Hemp Shampoo from Body Shop etc contain this substance.

The first ingredient listed (which means it is the single most prevalent ingredient) in Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

Therefore, I called one company, and I told them their product contains a substance that will cause people to have cancer. They said, Yeah we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it because we need that substance to produce foam.

By the way Colgate toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the "bubbles". They said they are going to send me some information.

Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1 out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3, which is very serious. Therefore, I hope that you will take this seriously and pass this on to all the people you know, and hopefully, we can stop "giving" ourselves cancer-causing agents.

Dear instant noodle lovers, make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet!

Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.

If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.

Wantan noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is
repeated several times before the noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from sticking together.

The hawker then lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry.

Cooking instructions for spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a big clump of spaghetti!

There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He got cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles. The doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax.

There was also an SIA steward who after moving out from his mother's house into his own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal. He had cancer, and has since died from it.

Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as "cancer noodles".
