Overweight Jakarta

So apparently, I am back in Jakarta. Thank you all for posting comments on my blog, I don't have many people visitting my blog, maybe a good thing, maybe a bad one too, but the truth is, with the minimum amount of attendance on my blog I am not upset after all. I am glad that you guys came, your comments means a lot to me. Constructive criticism or not, it still means a lot to me.

Speaking about criticism, I am sorry mich, I doubt that this blog will ever be abandoned. To abandon is to totally discard the fact that the blog exist, but I don't feel like this blog is ever going to be discarded. I did desert the blog from friendster, b'cos I don't know who's going to read them, wanna keep it more private, that's why it was discarded. This blog had actually fulfilled most of my needs to keep my diary out of the public's view, so ya, it doesn't seem that its going to be abandoned. Look at your blog, you've promised to update it, but seems like its the one being abandoned. Haha... there'll be more than just bananas and atoms and nucleus, there'll be protons, neutrons and whatever it is inside a cell. Haha... Shua, I don't always go to ATM ok, with the technological advancement of the Internet, I can do a lot of things from the internet, that will reduce the amount of visits to the ATM, other than to take cash, so I'm keeping those visits to a minimum. Haha...

So, back in Jakarta, nothing much has changed, except that I have a nephew. Dylan Kenzie Wantah is his full name. Haha.. family just keeps getting more whole by the generation. Seems like my dear little nephew treats me like a "spring bed", or so according to my sis and sis-in-law. It is always easy for him to stick his head on my chest and he'll fall asleep within the second. Haha.. Apparently I have my way of handling kids falling asleep. This surprised me too. Anyhow, I'll be scheduled to return to LA on Sept 12th. I tried to avoid travelling on Sept 11th, but it doesn't seem to be much of a danger now. Until the US has a new president (hopefully not a republican), I guess the terrorism problem wouldn't improve. It is still a big question mark as to how the most advanced army from the US still failed to apprehend Osama bin Laden. Perhaps the real terrorists still live amongst us in the United States. Damn jack ass loh!

Haha, that being said, I am falling asleep le, so I guess I'll talk to you more next time. In the meantime, give me inputs about the song in my playlist, do you guys like it?

Quote of the day

Yeah baby, I have time to present our quote of the day, or rather the quote that I think is worth mentioning. Got the quote from ria, learnt a lot from her and sally today. According to Ria's psychology training, the best predictor is still past history. But we got into the entire debate about past history leading to stereotypes that is actually perceived as negative in the society. Then we came to the topic of our current quote of the day which is " you can never change someone, the most that you can do is to influence them", which by unanimous vote decided that it was unargueable. Good job, great talk ppl!

YeLlOw, MeLlOw, HeLlOw

So what's been going on huh?

I've decided to make my blog more private by switching to blogspot. Friendster is too overrated anyways. Friendster should go into the recycle bin and Facebook should be the new Friendster. Haha... Anyway, shua said that my blog has been disintegration into neutrons and protons, filled with spiderweb and bananas. Shua said that bananas just adds the effect of filth into the entire condition of the blog. Shua... nobody eats bananas in their blogs... hahaha...

Reason why I took so long to finally blog was... school and stuff. Summer's here, its hot everywhere but I'm still busy with school. Couldn't say I got exemplary results last quarter but I must say I deserved it. Haha... Right now, I still have 9 units of short semester course to complete in 2 weeks and then off to Indo I'll go. Right now, I must say that I have a little bit more time for myself. But I just can't get used to it. Previously I have been spending too much time either with work or with company, but now, all of a sudden, I'm alone.. darn it! hehehe... Lonely... I am so Lonely.... I have nobody.... I'm on my own...

Anyway, topic of the day should be Global Warming. I don't know why I picked it up, but hey, whatever comes into my mind is whatever I'm vomitting out right now. Inspiration waits for nobody, once it comes, you gotta do somethinga bout it, cos when it goes, it goes away, sometimes forever. I know that the previous sentence has a run-on sentence mistake, but hey, this is my blog, and in this parallel world of my brain, there's no such things as correct structure and layout. I say things the way they're organized in my neurological way and I should have the liberty of doing it simply because.... it is my own brain, hahaha...

Let's just get to the main topic of the day and get it done and over with, shall we? The reason why there's global warming in this world is because we are burning fossil fuels to provide our constant hunger for energy. Right? Right...

When we burn fossil fuels, we actually increase the entropy of matter in the world. Right? Right....

And when we burn fossil fuels, we add heat to the environment, right? Right...

So basically, in a chemical engineer's perspective, this is an open system. Or rather I should say an open batch system which we can see as a continuous stirred tank reactor(CSTR). If the reaction keeps giving out heat, then we shall see an increase in the enthalpy because the entire reaction is exothermic. So, if this system is not balanced by another system that actually absorbs the heat then we shall see that there is an increase in released energy. And this released energy is in the form of heat. Right? Right...

Hence, with the continuous release of heat, we are actually increasing the average temperature of the world. Right? Right...

So, with the increase of temperature around the world, then it is obvious enough that the icebergs are melting and increasing the sealevel. With this increase in sealevel, a domino effect will occur. There'll be tsunami, floods, rainstorms & hurricanes, just to name a few. So with this eulogy, who the hell believes that there is going to be Global Cooling? For those of you who don't understand what global cooling is, it is the belief in the phenomenon of Ice Age(Well, at least this is what I thought it was supposed to be, but yeah, you can do the research and let me know whether this is true). Apparently, there are some scientists that believe that the Ice Age is approaching. As a chemical engineer(not yet certified, by the way), I came up with the abovementioned theorem that proves that Ice age cannot occur. Heat is being released to the atmosphere even as we are interacting in this blog.

So the next time you wanna go for a campfire, barbecue, driving, electricity wasting of any form, think about the sequence of events that will happen next. But then, all we can do is just think about it, there's really nothing much we can do if we are already slaves of the entire energy business. Haha... So there you go, a crash course in Global Warming in my perspective.

Oh well, so for now, I'm thinking about getting a MacBook Pro to replace this Toshiba that I have... A lot of thinking to do but well... Ok, so I gotta retire for bed now, I have an appointment to donate my blood platelets for a young girl who's suffering from leukemia. Let's just hope that if I can't save the world, I can at least try my best to save a young girl. One packet of platelets and blood at a time...
