Part 1: Usage of Knife, cutting board and a plate

as shown above, diced onions, chopped carrots, chopped french beans, diced chix thighs and the MIRACLE POWDER(jap curry powder and ya its in a block form... u got problem with that?)

Part 2: dump all vege into boiling water and fry the onions

Part 3: dump all fried onions into pot and fry the chix

Not rocket science eh?

Part 4: dump fried chix into pot and put MIRACLE POWDER in...

Part 5: Stir in MIRACLE well and wait for it to congulate

Morals - Relative vrs Absolutes

haha after seeing my dear's blog entry... this is a response to that entry... hmmm it might also becos i cant sleep bah...

I believe all arguments should start with a common starting ground in mind and thereafter to be fully explored and discussed in all areas.

so
Step 1: Definition of moral from Encarta

mor·al [ máwrəl ]
adjective

Definition:
1. involving right and wrong: relating to issues of right and wrong and to how individual people should behave
2. derived from personal conscience: based on what somebody's conscience suggests is right or wrong, rather than on what rules or the law says should be done
3. according to common standard of justice: regarded in terms of what is known to be right or just, as opposed to what is officially or outwardly declared to be right or just a moral victory.
4. encouraging goodness and decency: giving guidance on how to behave decently and honorably
5. good by accepted standards: good or right, when judged by the standards of the average person or society at large
6. able to tell right from wrong: able to distinguish right from wrong and to make decisions based on that knowledge
7. based on personal conviction: based on an inner conviction, in the absence of physical proof moral certainty

plural noun mor·als
Definition:
standards of behavior: principles of right and wrong as they govern standards of general or sexual behavior

and since this definition is albeit too tedious on the eyes, here is an abbreviated version from your humble self

Morals

a set of principles or standards of behavior derived from conscience or societal norms relating to issues of right and wrong

Step 2: with the definition clearly in focus, we first should discuss the entirety of the definition.

What does principles or standards of behavior means to the average person off the street. To me, it means how a person would choose to deal with the problem or issue at hand. An example would be a homeless person walking up to you and begs for some money. The response would be largely influenced by a series of factors; the upbringing, mood of the giver, age, the surroundings and of course the homeless person's state at that moment. However, the ingrained principle of the giver would probably be to give the homeless person money as it has been constantly drilled in since his or her youth. And by seeing so, the most important factor governing the principles would definitely therefore be the upbringing. In fact, conscience and societal norms are part of a person's upbringing if we ignore the ever popular statement of everyone is born innocent. The upbringing of the person would therefore follow a near absolute state of affairs since to that particular individual, it is not a matter of one or two "training sessions" but rather a lifelong experience guiding him or her to form his or her very own principles.

Therefore for the individual, morals are more or less absolutes. However, this applies only to that particular individual possessing that particular principle. If we follow the law of permutations, in Singapore alone, there would be 5 million unique personalities and to make all 5 million of them to share a common moral is almost impossible. This is where the relativity comes in and for something to be relative, there must be a common measure from which the relativity extends and this leds to the government coming out with laws and order and religion and society imprinting their own footsteps upon general public.

step 3) check for actual hardware malfunction...

how the keyboard actually looks like..

under the keyboard

under keyboard part 2

and part 3... the other piece is the speaker housing... the speaker is actually only abt 1 inch? and its the SUPER small thing at the top right and left.. cant really see though...

the bottom part of the laptop... tried to remove the casing but too many locks and screws... cant seem to remove it properly... broke one plastic clip... in the end gave up...

step 4) grind the teeth and live with it...

BUT......

93.3fm

Betcha guys din noe that theres a 93.3 fm channel here in San diego rite? lolx..

Just listened to a RIDICULOUS program here... its called War of the roses.

Gameplay on radio: a woman suspecting her bf/husband cheating on her, calls the radio and narates the story. The radio channel then talks to her about it and eventually will call the husband saying that he has a dozen of roses to send to whoever he wants. And apparently if he sends to his wife, he is safe and if he sends to his mistress, the wife will come in and scream blar blar blar.

The case i heard today is about this woman, jamie, who found some naked self-taken pictures of a coworker on her husband laptop.

Lessons learnt for men:

if u cheat, cheat smart.

if someone calls u for free stuff, give it to ur wife.

DO NOT save stuff about ur mistress on ur laptop.

Lessons learnt for women:

if u called in for this program, the marriage is over anyway and this is regardless of whether he did cheat or not.

haiz... stupid channel... and oh ya.. this is another stupid thing thats on ebay daily deals today...

This is a meat marinating machine.. retails for... USD 199.95 and now offers for USD 54.00.. a WHOOPING 73% discount and FREE shipping!!! its like.. omg rite? how stupid can ppl be.. haiz..
