Heya people anyway today I was browsing through the college library and lo and be hold i found some books from one of my most favorites after C.S Lewis and Tolkien was the K.A. Applegate. I absolutely love her most famous series of books called the Animorphs! I was initially introduce to the world of Animorphs by an annoying friend of mine who use to flip those Animorphs pages at my face! Hahaha for your information she just love flipping the pages through as each book has this little pictures printed at the lower left hand site of the book and when you flip them you can see the pictures moving like a mini movie! She is never tired of flipping them in front of me! But anyway back to the post!

The Animorphs series tells the tale of a secret alien invasion of Earth but instead of an all out in your face invasion ala Independence Day or War of The Worlds, it is secret. The Aliens are actually slug like beings that crawl into a person ear and take over their brain and affectively their body. They have control nearly all the major organisations of Earth namely the police,teachers and scientist. But another group aliens called Andalites are trying to stop the yeerks and in an apocalyptic encounter in space an Andalite war prince before he died gave 6 kids the power to morph or change into animals (using some really cool technology) but before any of you say wow that sounds like some corny power rangers or super sentai series IT is not! Its reads lore like a modern day Middle Earth Novel as Applegate manages to flesh out the characters very nicely and the plot for each book keeps me coming back for more!

Overall the plus points for this series is really REALLY great fast pace and incredible writing! The plot is surprisingly very addictive and original. And the twist and turns plus the deaths of various characters in the series made me love it even more! I am now currently trying to find the final 6 books in this great series of 54 books! And after seeing some of my most favorites characters come and go i really want to find out what happen at the end of the series! below are some of the book covers featuring my two most favorite characters name Jake and Rachel!





and heres the cover for the final book in the series but somehow i am still unable to find it! I wonder where it is? However the final tagline for the book is it began with 6 and ends with 5 just give me goosebumps thinking about it!

I always thought that studying about electronics and photonics in physics is really boring(those of you who studied under Mr Chong will know hahaha!) but today thanks to Mr Hender my physics teacher it became kinda exiting! We are doing stuff about the transistors and as usual i nearly fell asleep trying to make sense what he was talking about! (lotz of complicated jargon hehe) anyways then midway through the lesson he went and talk about the amplification properties of the transistor and even showed us a program he wrote himself to try to show the entire class what he meant!

Next thing I know he said that he put a microphone in the next class earlier in the day (a room away) and activated his computer and next thing i knew it we can actually hear what is going on in the next class! Hahaha who knew a physics teacher can be such a sly spy! He bugged a class for fun hahaha! He then continue talking about the coupling effect and showing the diffrent clippings of the sound waves as he adjust the program so we can hear diffrent stuff in the next room! Amateur spy he ain't!

Looks like I know who to call if ever need to spy on anybody! Hahaha!

Hehe heya people this MAY ( if i find something interesting and random i would post it anyway) be last blog until the weekend as I have lotz of stuff to do! Having a SAC and other important stuff which I can never reveal hahaha!

I also have rummage through all my files,videos and music files ( thanks to all you guys for downloading stuff ....illegally of the net haha just jokin but all the files that you have shared with me is taking lotz of my computer space but anyway before i delete a certain video i plan to post it here soon hahaha you guyz have to wait and see
It will be posted by Saturday i think anyway have a great day and will be back blogging on during the weekend! Hahaha! okay see ya and have a great day! In the mean time enjoy these funny pix i found on the NET Hahaha!

Ok i kinda ran out of ideas for this next post but I today I discovered that there are lotz of colorful wearing rubber spandex fans! Guys like Aldwin, Wilson and Brendan are power ranger freaks though they would not admit it hahahahaha! So to help get through their addiction just I am gonna post some videos below to help them hahahaha! Enjoy!



And if you want to know the entire history of the power rangers see the videos below!







Thats all noobs and especially to Brendan,Aldwin and Wilson enjoy! And to all the other freaks...... i mean fans do not feel bad you should know that in the last power ranger convention 90% of the people going there are well into their 40's! So enjoy being one of the many fans or freaks! Hahahaha!

After so many years thinking that I can type quite fast and accurately I just discovered that i had gotten slower way slower! Hahahaha I use to be easily getting about 50 words per minute( but i think typing with one hand also contribute to this terrible result lol was eating and typing at the same time haha) but guess since I never really bother to type in the computer I drop! Sigh looks like I must improve on it!

36 words

Hahaha and i just wanted to post the video below as a really random video (taken during the sports carnival thing hahahaha) After all this blog is all about randomness!

After reading the entire manga chapters of Rurouni Kenshin I just realize the large similarities and differences between the mange and anime! Both of them suck after the Shishio Makato Arc! Hahaha but the endings really great and different! While the anime has a really sad and poingnant ending where Kenshin and Kaouru succumb to disease at the end while their love for each other was still strong but the manga has a lighter and more happier ending!

Seeing Kenshi, Kaouru playing with their son was great as well as when Yahiko succeed Kenshi just gave me goosebumps until the very end! The part where they were reunited at the end was also really great and it did great justice to this long going manga! Here are some parts from the reunion!

Hahaha Todays the day I finally got a hair cut, my aunt has been complaining why my hair is so loooonnng! Hahaha anyways I went around for some really cheap barbers but most I can find in AUS are the really expensive ones! But thanks to advice from a friend I manage to find one in a suburb! Its not really a shop but more like a house with a room dedicated for the hair cutting business! Hahaha I was lost for a while trying to find the place, anyway its was like a vietmamese place so i was kinda worried i will not be able to communicate! (hahaha unlike malaysia i just need to "grunt" to the mamak barber to communicate one"grunt" for short 2 "grunts" for a really short cut!)

but luckily he can speak cantonese and with my limited knowlege in cantonese ( hey after all i grew up and was raised as well as stayed 6 years in ipoh) i manage to tell him what i want! He showed me some styles and it was like this is seriously dumb coz all of them is just bout styling hair and nothing about short cut! some of them completely block the eyes and i was thinking to myself this is retarded but soon out the shortest hairstyle available and it was snip snip and now i am kinda bald hahahaha just kiddin though i wanted the hairstyle below:

Hahaha anyways thats all its post is quite pointless and reads more like a pointless naruto or bleach filler hahaha but hey at least i am updating this blog right and a haircut to boot! Seeya!
p.s. Oh ya a big thank you to BEN for the Yui songs!

Wow the the upcoming movie featuring the ever funny Will Smith is coming up and its name is Hancock! I was like what the heck is this movie about and what a stupid name but after a while i kinda like it when i saw the trailer! Its so cool and with old Will here it will sure gonna be a great movie! Here are some screen shots!




Hahaha Will trying to look cool in Hancock!


Old Lady: Hey your not the house cleaner!
Hancock: Oops sorry I thought u call for comedian to bring the house down!
( get it bring the house down hahahaha)


The great hancock looking smug after 'saving' THE DAY! hHAHAH



Ceh! Hancock going one on one with a foul and loud mouth kid!

hAHAHA LOOKS LIKE A GREAT MOVIE! I gotta see it when it comes out on July 3rd!

Oh ya! And I also want to take this oppotunity to wish David 17 ( wonder why they call him that anyway?) A really Happy Birthday! Happy B'day man!

Wow this article really brought back memories! After all I first heard this story during a church camp and thx to Daniel ( my twin haha) and all the others who have been forwarding this so that I can read this again! Enjoy!

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, The ALMIGHTY.
He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.

Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.
Most of us would attempt to Help Others who are ill.
But GOD didn't.
How is this GOD Good then ? Hmm ?

( Student is silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ?
Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No..
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right.
Tell me son, is there evil in this World ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ?
And GOD did make Everything. Correct ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

( Student does not answer )

Professor : Is there Sickness ? Immorality ? Hatred ? Ugliness ?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

( Student has no answer )

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.
Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD ?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD ?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD ?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter ?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist.
What do you say to that, son ?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes. Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat ?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold ?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.

( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold..
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

( There is Pin - Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )
Student : What about Darkness, Professor ? Is there such a thing as Darkness ?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness ?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.
Darkness is the Absence of Something.
You can have Low Light, Normal Light , Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .
But if you have No Light Constantly, you have Nothing and it's called Darkness, isn't it ?
In reality, Darkness isn't.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you ?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is Flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how ?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life : just the Absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you Teach your Students that they Evolved from a Monkey ?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir ?

( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument is going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and
cannot even prove that this Process is an On - Going Endeavor,
are you not Teaching your Opinion, sir ?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher ?

( The Class is in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever Seen the Professor's Brain ?

( The Class breaks out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever Heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, Touched or Smelt it ? . . .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that
you have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir ?

( The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . .
the Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.

Here is a some really great stuff that i found off the NET!

Three years ago, Lee Spievack sliced off the tip of his finger in the propeller of a hobby shop airplane.

What happened next, Andrews reports, propelled him into the future of medicine. Spievack's brother, Alan, a medical research scientist, sent him a special powder and told him to sprinkle it on the wound.

"I powdered it on until it was covered," Spievack recalled.

To his astonishment, every bit of his fingertip grew back.

"Your finger grew back," Andrews asked Spievack, "flesh, blood, vessels and nail?"

"Four weeks," he answered.

Andrews spoke to Dr. Steven Badylak of the University of Pittsburgh's McGowan Institute of Regenerative Medicine and asked if that powder was the reason behind Spievack's new finger tip.

"Yes, it is," Badylak explained. "We took this and turned it into a powdered form."

That powder is a substance made from pig bladders called extracellular matrix. It is a mix of protein and connective tissue surgeons often use to repair tendons and it holds some of the secrets behind the emerging new science of regenerative medicine.

"It tells the body, start that process of tissue regrowth," said Badylak.

Badlayk is one of the many scientists who now believe every tissue in the body has cells which are capable of regeneration. All scientists have to do is find enough of those cells and "direct" them to grow.

"Somehow the matrix summons the cells and tell them what to do," Badylak explained. "It helps instruct them in terms of where they need to go, how they need to differentiate - should I become a blood vessel, a nerve, a muscle cell or whatever."

If this helped Spievack's finger regrow, Badylak says, at least in theory, you should be able to grow a whole limb.

Advances That Go Beyond Theory

In his lab at Wake Forest University, a lab he calls a medical factory, Dr. Anthony Atala is growing body parts.

Atala and his team have built, from the cell level up, 18 different types of tissue so far, including muscle tissue, whole organs and the pulsing heart valve of a sheep.

"And is it growing?" Andrews asked.

"Absolutely," Atala said, showing him, "All this white material is new tissue."

"When people ask me 'what do you do,' we grow tissues and organs," he said. "We are making body parts that we can implant right back into patients."

Dr. Atala, one of the pioneers of regeneration, believes every type of tissue already has cells ready to regenerate if only researchers can prod them into action. Sometimes that prodding can look like science fiction.

Emerging from an everyday ink jet printer is the heart of a mouse. Mouse heart cells go into the ink cartridge and are then sprayed down in a heart shaped pattern layer by layer.

Dr. Atala believes it's a matter of time before someone grows a human heart.

"The cells have all the genetic information necessary to make new tissue," Atala explained. "That's what they are programmed to do. So your heart cells are programmed to make more heart tissue, your bladder cells are programmed to make more bladder cells."

Atala's work with human bladder cells has pushed regenerative medicine to a transformational breakthrough.

In this clinical trial at Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, Dr. Patrick Shenot is performing a bladder transplant with an organ built with this patient's own cells. In a process developed by Dr. Atala, the patient's cells were grown in a lab, and then seeded on a biodegradable bladder-shaped scaffold.

Eight weeks later, with the scaffold now infused with millions of regrown cells, it is transplanted into the patient. When the scaffold dissolves, Dr. Shenot says what's left will be a new, functioning organ.

"The cells will differentiate into the two major cells in the bladder wall, the muscle cells and the lining cells," he explained. "It's very much the future, but it's today. We are doing this today."

Repairing The Wounded

Today, one of the biggest believers in regeneration is the United States military, which is especially interested in the matrix that regrew Lee Spievack's finger.

The Army, working in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh, is about to use that matrix on the amputated fingers of soldiers home from the war.

Dr. Steven Wolf, at the Army Institute of Surgical Research, says the military has invested millions of dollars in regenerative research, hoping to re-grow limbs, lost muscle, even burned skin.

"And it's hard to ignore this guys missing half his skin, this guy's missing his leg," Wolf said. "You start asking the question, is there somebody out there with the technology that can do this for us?"

"You mean regrow the tissue?" Andrews asked.

"The answer," Wolf said, "is maybe."

At the burn unit at the Brooke Army Medical center, the very idea of regeneration brings a glimmer of hope.

Army Staff Sgt. Robert Henline was the only survivor of an IED attack on his Humvee north of Baghdad.

"It's a great idea," Henline said, talking with Andrews about the military's investment into the new technology. "If they can come up with something that's less painful and can heal it with natural growth, without all this scarring, it's definitely something to check into."

Regeneration Race Goes Global

Several different technologies for harnessing regeneration are now in clinical trials around the world. One machine, being tested in Germany, sprays a burn patient's own cells onto a burn, signaling the skin to re-grow.

Badylak is about to implant matrix material - shaped like an esophagus - into patients with throat cancer.

"We fully expect that this material will cause the body to re-form normal esophageal tissue," Badylak said.

And in a clinical trial at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, patient Mary Beth Babo is getting her own adult stem cells injected into her heart, in hopes of growing new arteries. Her surgeon is Dr. Joon Lee.

"It's what we consider the Holy Grail of our field for coronary heart disease," Lee said.

The Holy Grail, because if stem cells can re-grow arteries, there's less need for surgery.

"It's a big difference from open heart surgery to this," said Babo. "If people don't have to go through that, this would be the way to go ... if it works."

The Business Of Regeneration

Corporate America, meanwhile, already believes regeneration will work. Investment capital has been pouring in to commercialize and mass produce custom-made body parts.

The Tengion Company has bought the license, built the factory, and is already making those bladders developed at Wake Forest that we told you about earlier.

"We're actually building a very real business around a very real and compelling patient need," said Dr. Steven Nichtberger, Tengion's CEO.

Tengion believes regeneration will soon revolutionize transplant medicine. Transplant patients, instead of waiting years for a donated organ, will ship cells off to a lab and wait a few weeks to have their own re-grown.

"I look at the patients who are on the waitlist for transplant," said Nichtberger. "I look at the opportunity we have to build bladders, to build vessels, to build kidneys. In regenerative medicine, I think it is similar to the semi-conductor industry of the 1980s, you don't know where it's going to go, but you know it's big."

---

Its really great knowing we are soon to be able to regrow our body parts! Imagine how many lives can be save! Though there are some issues about implementing this breakthrough in some countries ( aiyah u know the halal non-halal business)
Despite this great advantages it must be warn though that like all technolgy it has the potential to be misuse. Hopefully the military will not misuse it to create bio-weapons out of it or even "super soldiers" that can't be killed! It should just be use for civilian purposes to help us the human race progress peacefully!
