Unyielding Factors
Friday, September 30, 2005

As an ordinary human myself, it's undeniable that in some moments of our lives we just cant seem to give in or yield on to a solution/circumstance that is suppose to be justified or at least be seen by the society as fair. Now, just think of which, when you behaved in an unreasonable manner for no apparent reason.. not trying to achieve anything or prove anything.. but just trying to be hard (not physically).. you get what i mean?

Simply put.. people can be stubborn at times without any good cause/reason/solution..
Some people think of it (stubbornness) as a way to hold on and put a stance point to their (mostly male entities) own principles/virtues/vivid-formation-of-sell-restricted-rules, ;P

One good example, you often see guys that cling on to a pair of old shoes.. which by right should be buried away and dedicate a tombstone for it.. u get what i mean? (i hav a fren.. wearing the same walking shoe for 6 yrs.. the problem is.. that's the only shoe i ever witness it on his feet...)

It's common to see guys holding a deep obsession to things/patterns/behaviors that they are used to and comfortable with and never thought of changing it or modify it..

Wearing the same shirt, using the same route everyday, eating the similar food, seeing similar friends, particular with arrangements of their cars.. etc.. u get what i mean?

Tho.. i m not saying that men are more stubborn than women.. perhaps no one in this world can make any serious comparison and measurement bout that matter.. but women are stubborn in their own ways as well.. tho in general in different fields than men

However, the unyielding factors arent always materialistic in form to women, for example, obsession towards their idols (no matter what happened to the idols, they are still equivalent to god, to the fans Brad Pitt is still single and a virgin in their hearts), the guy they adore in real life, to the colour they like (migosh.. i never knew pink is so evil.. it could completely swallowed one person and converts everything into PINK!!) , chocolate (especially during the day of the month), and ASAM (migosh.. u shud see how sher mayne they all constricts the asam.. u leave one packet there.. it will be gone like being evaporated in less than 5 mins)

We all have our own unyielding factors, stuffs/behaviors/thinking that we dont wanna give in and forcefully decided to carry on no matter what.. It's like scorpion's instinct to sting, moth's genetic coded idiocy to die early, turtle's cowardness to never die early, sunflowers' obssession of the sun, Goldfish's incapacity to stop eating, etc

We are all mulish/stubborn beings in our own ways... be it on thoughts, behaviors, or possession on materialistic means, we are...

For some strange reasons, i decided to list down a few unyielding factors of myself that no matter what;s the cost i wont give in.. at least for the next 5 yrs..

TOP 20 unyielding factors (in no particular order)

1. my childrish determination to get my hair braided/dreaded (no matter what i must complete this childhood dream of mine before i die)

2. my love for poetry.. nobody can take it away from me.. i know i m being stubborn even when i know that my writing style might not be as trendy as the angsty-i-wanna-slash-myself's kinda poetry

3. my ridiculous hobby of collecting stupid videos, mindless jokes and retarded pictures that killed my harddisk's memories day by day.

4. my instinctive urge of being sarcastic whenever the chances are given.. (it's bad i know.. it's bad.. but uno.. it;s i m like the moth striving for the fire.. couldnt help it)

5. my human-cant-explain fetish for all Aristotle's works/concepts/philosophies (stop bugging me.. i know some facts arent exactly valid.. and yes.. i m like an old man reading stuffs like this)

6. my biazed perception on chinese and viewed them as a smarter race among all.. as they are everywhere (not just because i m one of em), see for urself.. they discovered northpole n stayed there even before the spaniards discovered it (and argubly true that red indians might be chinese as well)

7. my ridiculous belief that if you stare into my eyes long enough i could read your mind and tell your body measurement

8. my righteous behavior (or rather idiocy) to always support the underdogs in any league of any manner(almost always...)

9. my moth-suiciding beheviors of constantly performing of risky or senseless behaviors (electricuting myself with mild electronic devices, forcing myself to swallow wasabi, ginger, chocolate, lemon, and sarsi-flavored candies at one go, etc)

10. my constant hatred for anything flourosenct pink.. tho i have a pink tie.. shiny one summore

11. my even-god-couldnt-explain's tendency of calling Jaime, Jaime.. (i might be dyslexic in a way.. selective dyslexia)

12. my without-a-cause accusation of calling anyone i perceived as gay as gay.. for example Gayson Jason

13. i am stubborn when comes to taking pictures of the scenery.. but not humans

14. my boredom-inducing style of blogging, as i MUST induce bits of my ranting and the moral-of-the-story bits in each of my entry.. :P

15. i am ridiculous on my sleeping pattern, and not planning to do anything to it anytime soon

16. my self-belief prophecy that even last minute works can score a D for most subjects (D as in Distinction)

17. my self-proclaimed traits that.. i am STILL 19!! (expiry date 02.11.2005)

18. my unfriendly interpretation and urge to ruin anyone's evil plan if being detected by my divine-o-meter

19. my one sided view on.. Harry Potter is evil..

20. my entity as a whole as being unyielding and idiotic to made a promise that should never be granted and was being cast to a 1-yr's seal(expiry date 27.12.05) that i somehow suffered and being fooled of. (Curses and spells are existing in this world, trust me!)

Blah..

Conformity
Wednesday, September 28, 2005

Concerning on the fact that people nowadays are trying very hard to follow the social perceived stereotype or what-you-called "trend". You know it when pay more attention to the people when you walk around in the city... One very obvious example would be, still remember when Matrix:Resolution (the last one.. hopefully) were screened on the cinemas all around malaysia (when i havent transferred to Adelaide yet), you could straightaway notices the quick changes in some of the population's dressing sense n all..

People starting to wear black, thick, bold sunglasses; wearing leather jacket or even trenchie in midvalley (i swear that i saw someone wearing it during that period) and all kind of nonsense that would make you look a tiny bit more like Neo (the cheating character in every sci-fi show) and Trinity.

When something seems to smell interesting and would fry up your appetite to test it out appeared in the society or being blessed by the media, ppl tend to follow, then once some of the more "influential" entity among the population picked it up.. the acquaintance of that particular "influential" entity would then followed and those around them tends to feel the pressure and later on decided to join...

Another example, ownership of an Ipod, why Ipod? it isnt the only GOOD mp3 player that provide all the functions that apple claims it possessed.. But why still it's so popular? 3 keys, 1-superior level of media frying, 2- image persuasion with sleek design of the casing,body that fascinate ppl's fetishes on the slimmest/tiniest/handy's title, and the cool-white-appleuser-must-have-earphones, 3- combination of 1&2 as the starter that later on burn up human's nature of "I-also-want" 's mentality. Without a doubt, ipod IS cool (i m thinking of getting one ass well if i hav money to spare) and i m not trying to criticise or anything.. ipod users please don't bare any grudge towards me just becoz of this.. (it's true anyway right?)

My point of bringing up all these, simply just to ellaborate more on our tendency to comform and stretch ourselves so that we could fit into the society or the community that you chose to belong to.. It's nothing bad actually on the surface. What's wrong of being common, social friendly and cookie-like to all the others in the society? What's wrong of seeing everybody wearing the similar dressing code, using the same phones, eating the same food, driving the same car, watching the same sorta movies, loving the same ideal forms of male/female (depending on your interest, bare no grudges toward homo-liking homosapiens;unless you are asexual), becoming the same ideal forms of male/female, dating the same ideal forms of person, and marrying... etc.. now.. see the problem?? If everybody behaves in that manner.. in 100 years time, everything would be "uniformalized" and everybody will be like cookies, one looking like the other. (p.s, at the sametime i m not trying to persuade you to be extremist... please don't turn yourself into goths or screwed up dressing victims or so)

So, since we cant really help and change how other wanna carry on their lives... the moral of the story is, be true to yourself, know what you like and conform only to stuffs that are harmless by nature and/or stuffs that you truly like.

Alright, so, that's the end of my moral teaching.. now i shall demonstrate on a practical behaviour that very-related to conformity... *drums rolling.. *ta-da , = that's filling in purposeless surveys and posting it on internet...

Since.. i've been tagged by both davors and jaime (stubbornly spelled it that way) the zebra, both somehow related to me one way or another; one's my blood related cousin and the other long distance relative of my ancestors' (first few hominids) prey back in africa. Due to that, i shall put in a lil bit of efforts to pull this one off and complete this infamous 7 tag thing with my utter sincerity and truthful responses.

Now, let's just bring it on!

Seven things I plan to do before I die:
1. Befriend with at least one of my personal idols (to name afew, Chris Cornell of Audioslave, Flea of RHCP, Sean Penn, Hayao Miyazaki, Chuck Pahlaniuk, etc)
2. have one of my creations, be it a book, manual or any sort, published and sell hot (bestseller if possible ;) )
3. Involved in a birth of a genius boy or girl
4. Achieve or succeed in something, so that someone would sincerely build a monumen/statue or something close to that as a remembrance of my existing life (even a nicely carved epitaph and gravestone might be sufficient)
5. Revive the oldschool-style of poetry by making tons n tons of good poems (refer to here, for sample; excuse me for promoting my other site :P)
6. Lay my footprints on these countries - Egypt, USA (NY n LA preferably), Germany (specifically Berlin), Bueno Aires, Lisbon and Greece.
7. Go on an outing with my katana/wakizashi (japanese sword) without getting caught into any trouble or complication

Seven things I could do:
1. Burp whenever and however loud i want it to
2. Seduce and calm down most stray cats (dun believe you ask my mates in Adelaide)
3. Down a can of bitterish guiness in one shot
4. chatting in msn, listening to songs, talking on the phone, arranging notes and eating chips at the sametime (that's y some old frens of mine called me octopus)
5. Poetry writing and still continue doing so in a very frequent basis
6. enduring lame jokes and improvising them
7. eat more than 7 (proper meals) or sometimes surviving on just 1 per day

Seven Celebrity crushes:
1. Sarah McLachlan (Mclaughlin) and her voice
2. Monica Bellucci ~ so unreal...
3. Franka Pontente ~ the actress in Run Lola (Lola rennt), 1998
4. Chiaki Kuriyama ~ especially when in Killbill vol.1
5. Carmen Soo ~ if you consider her as one
6. Rachel MacAdams
7. Chris Cornell ~ simply for his electrifying voice and eagle-like eyes.. how i wish i could possessed those 2 gifts

Seven physical traits I look for in my partner:
1. Hair, must have hair on top the head.. not baldness here, long, short, layered, colored, non-colored, as long as not bald (So, justin failed)
2. A touch of "naughtiness", am not really into the 100% clean, neat, nice-girl-next-door look.. tho it doesnt mean i do not welcome their presence.. (we all can be friends, semua orang pun boleh.. mari mari)
3. Not too short, not too tall (cant exceed 25 cms in both ways) i'm bout 167-169 btw if you wanna know, otherwise semua pun boleh, :P (no way i m gonna date a 190cm + girl)
4. fingers' proportion and finger nails.. (i know i m weird)
5. legs, precisely ankle (again... please dont judge me stereotypically..)
6. Jaw's proportion, other words, formation of the face (some ppl said by looking at how the jaw linked to the face skulls and cheekbones you could tell the basic facial features of a person)
7. Lips.. not too big.. not too thick.. some says Angelina Jolie's thick juicy lips are sexy.. i dun deny, it's sexy.. but not my ideal lips

7 Often Repeated WORDS/PHRASES: (tough ones... -.-)

Dreamy display ~ Howl's Moving Castle
Monday, September 26, 2005

My first movie review in a blog form.. (stilll first proper movie review ever made by me)


It's a movie directed and produced by Hayao Miyazaki, the animator who won countless movie awards around the world and carved down deep and meaningful memories for viewers with wonderful anime works (all movies tho) like Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1986), My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Princess Mononoke (1997) and so on. This show (Howl's moving castle) is the second movie that forced him to come out of his retirement in order to finish the undone business that adopted by his animation company the famous "Studio Gibli".

Based on a novel - Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Howl's Moving Castle follows the story of young Sophie Hatter, a bookworm, the eldest of two daughters, a girl doomed to an uninteresting life as a hat maker. Sophie resigns herself to her boring fate, but fate has other plans for her. Cursed by the Witch of the Waste with the body of a 90-year-old woman, she finds her way to the moving castle inhabited by the young handsome wizard - Howl, said by all to eat the souls of young girls.
Howl has been cursed by the Witch as well, and is seeking the love of young girl to help him break the curse. The book has enchanted readers of all ages for nearly 20 years, and the film was released on November 20, 2004 in Toho theaters across Japan.

After watching the show.. which followed no certain concrete flows.. the only thing in my mind was.. "it's so good that it shames virtually every animated movie film since his last film, Spirited away, graced movie scenes in year 2002"

It started off with a rather slow pace plot.. showing how peaceful the community is.. n blah blah.. but slowly the plot grows by gathering part and pieces of fantasy creations that based on his wild imagination and improvisation that based on the novel. This movie is very personal.. as in.. different viewers will have their own interpretation of the story, and it's unworthy to argue upon which is the better explanation and all.. It's a fantasy dreamy movie directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and that's the only thing you need to know.. and for that, no further explanation is needed.. because it's Hayao Miyazaki!!

Haha, maybe i m being a lil bit biased here or what. .since i've watched almost 60-70% of all his works, and yet, it always gave me a satisfied smile and i think paying 9.50aud for the ticket is definitely worthwhile and i have no regrets.

When viewing his production, even the most skeptical and critical individuals would gain no starting ground to begin their criticsm or expand their sarcasm.. Because in most of his films, he managed to install this deep message into the show and tell you this, "This is what dreams are for, and at this point of the time, what you need to do is to sit back, relax, and feel"

Some people might find it abit slow going still.. but to me.. this is a good show.. very good indeed..
8.5/10 at least.. If you can find it in any cinema near you.. go ahead!

Discovery of a new path
Thursday, September 22, 2005

First of all, sorry for the sudden dissappearance.. as i m having my holiday now.. so taking things easily (in other words, lazy).. Anyway, this post is specially dedicated to a new hobby which picked by me not too long ago..

OK, the story is just like this, one day, when serotonin hits the brain, i couldnt sleep (at bout 3.40am) and my body overcharged with energies and felt like moving n do something.. So, right at that moment, i decided to take a walk...

Yes.. walk around my neightbourhood around that hour.. i might be crazy..
If you really think so, that's just the beginning..
Few days later, the same situation occurred to me, and this time, instead of walking at night alone, i called out, and managed to drag someone along..

His name is Teddy (lol.. my camera).. yep.. sadly i dont think anyone would be that crazy and energetic willingly enough to accompany except for that digital one-eyed cyclop = Teddy..

So, together we begun our journey, as a nightwalker... Honestly, there are a few things that i need to say regarding walking alone at night in Adelaide, 1) It's scarier than you expected.. as the roads here arent as bright as back there in Malaysia (maybe they wanna conserved energy and materials, so less lamp post), 2) because of that gloomy feeling the night gave birth to, it looks beautiful!! 3)walking alone at night in a hooded fleece plus holding a camera taking pictures everywhere made me a typical stalker look.. (I am so glad that i havent gotten the chance to encounter any police or security authorities here)

It was fun.. as a nightwalker, it's as if you are the only human left survive in this humonguos piece of landscapes, and everything, everywhere is so quiet and peaceful (additionally, bit spooky). And not to mention that, due to the my PASSION in photography and large quantity of time which i could spent with, i took alot of photos of moon, stars (not as nice.. in fact it sux), buildings, trees, etc.



Don't cha think the moon's just so beautiful?

Till now, I had 4 nightwalks experience in Adelaide already, each time i brushed my own record by walking further and further.. by my third try, I reached the City via magill road (main road, and yes, it's freaking far, about 18-19 bus stops' distance from my house to the city) If my memories never failed, i departed at bout 3.40am, reached city compound at bout 5.am (as i took my own sweet time swindering around..)

Here's some of the photos i took on during that walk,


another attempt on capturing the moon


Dodgy looking alley around hindley street



This is how North Terrace is like at around 5am, so peaceful and quiet (took me bout 20 mins/37 attempts to get this one shot)

And so, for my fourth walk, instead of walking through the magill road, i tried walking to the city through the Parade.. honestly.. i got lost several times during that walk, and it was scarry..

After struggling in/within the parade area, and some weird housing areas, i managed to reach the city somehow,.. but it looks so strange to me still.. As i entered the city through the west side which i seldom lay my footprints on, however, it looks so beautiful during dawn time still..



I couldnt remember at all where I took this shot, but, don't cha think this is such nice shot? And i never know that i could catch purple sky at such hour (6.15-6.30am i guess) (For those who stays in adelaide, you could tell that i was so far off from my original route.. lol even this shop is no where near the core of the city)

Alright, after sharing some photos, i would like to share some thoughts that i acquired thru these walks, 1) my neightbourhood looks so friggin scary at night



Ok, maybe that's abit exaggerated.. haha.. but nice photoshop attempt aight? dun cha think?
(I altered the texture effects and make it into oil painting-like.. then adjusted the lightings and of coz the bloody sky)

2)Do not try to push yourself while walking, just follow your mood, the flow, and dun forget to enjoy the ambience and environment around that prepared specially for you by the mother earth.

3)If you are worried bout robbers or rapist, please don't try... (Honestly.. imagine this, if you yourself IS a robber/rapist yourself and you encounter someone walking around the neightbourhood alone at night, say 4.30am, what would you think? Could this guy be someone like me? or what? and hello, even if I really am a rapist you think i no need to sleep ah? And if i am a robber why would i cruise around the residential area so late at night during weekdays? Perhaps the city should be more dangerous in that sense, where drug addicts and some dodgy entities lurks around all the time, don't cha think?)

4)If you cant walk anymore... take a rest, sit down somewhere, and wait for the bus home (In adelaide, the first bus operates at about 5.30am)

5)Never never underdress.. the temperature will increased in an incredible manner at bout 3.30-4.30am (that's the reason why i always depart around that time, to assure that and to avoid dodgy entities)

6)Finally, be sure to bring a map and a torch light or handphone that generates suffice amount of light, unless you LOVE to bet lost like me..


P.S-Adelaide IS beautiful, not just at night :P, and.. anyone wanna join??

Myth of Human Body
Tuesday, September 13, 2005

Hmm.. a rather weird topic aight? Yeap, i agree... even so, i decided to put it up.. All this has been squiggling in my head for quite awhile.. before i could freely type it out without the anxiety to worry bout my assignments and all.. (though there's still 1 more.. due on this friday.. grr...)
Anyway, yep, today's lesson is about how wonderful our human body is(Jason and Joel if you are reading this, please stick to the decent and general path of perception) and some myths behind it (this might eventually get a lil bit philosiphical.. so if u cant bear deep thoughts, turn away now)

The myth of the exiled soul presents an important problem of interpretation for the Adamic myth (Adam and Eve, that Adam). For the myth of the exiled soul is the only one that divides man up metaphysically into two irreconcilable realities: soul and body. It is the only mythic anthropology that is metaphysically dualistic (Yes, i do read those stuffs.. i am boring i know). It deals with the externality of evil seduction by assimilating it to the body which becomes the symbol of evil seduction: the body symbolizes everything that happens to me without "me" doing it (getting deeper...). The body becomes the symbol of the involuntary as the focus of the resistance which the passions create impeding the free exercise of our will. In the Adamic myth the serpent (or snake) symbolizes the seductivity of the non-human world, while in the myth of the exiled soul the body symbolizes the seductivity of the human world, for the body is somehow part of man himself even though an involuntary part (and deeper....).

The myth of the exiled soul presents man as a mixture of passions or desires. The body serves as an internal symbol of the external and as the positivity of evil seduction. This inner dualism and alienation of soul and body is unique to the myth of the exiled soul. In the myth, man is divided in his essential being, In his earthly existence he forgets his original state and becomes imprisoned, in the passions of the body. The myth has ancient roots and is reminiscent of archaic Hinduism. Later Platonic philosophy modifies the myth by placing human deliverance in a special kind of knowledge. In the myth the body becomes the symbol of felt conflicts from which a man can escape only by returning to his true inner nature: the soul. Human life on earth is experienced as intrinsically evil and man's only salvation is a spiritual purification by special knowledge.

Alright... enough on the intellectual babbling... To sum up, in one sentence, human body is evil in one sense when it involved with sensation and temptation... As simple as that..

I am not.. exactly a fanatic or extremist in regards of the view on human body or whatsoever.. i just felt that.. to certain extend.. it could be interpreted in that way... However, one of the reasons why i came up with this post.. isnt to bore you guys with loadful of info or simply just wanna amuse myself with weird stuffs.. it's becoz i recently just bought a poster.. like this
*point below


yes.. i know i m freaking weird.. you can call the police now..

Haha... somehow i just felt that it's amusing to keep a poster like that in my room.. eventhough i m not goin to be a sport/health/neuro/muscular/whatever psychologist that has any relation with that.. i just.. find it cool.. to keep one in your room



Dont you think this corner of my room looks more like a stereotypical psycho-geek room?

I am not crazy yet, or any where close to that.. so mom and dad, please dont worry, i wont be a serial killer that inspired to keep human body parts as a collection or so.. (*smirk... hehe)
Back to the topic, by sticking up a poster like that in your room, not only will make your room looks smarter, cooler, or even spookier, it helps to raise your scientific knowledge in terms of body parts, and whenever any part of your body is aching.. you can refer to that spot with names!! not just like.. there la. .here la.. say bye bye to those ape-like days man..
We human, must communicate in human-like manners, speak in human-ly language, and describe our body symptoms with "terms" and scientific "names"... We can't always communicate merely with hand-signals in terms of illustration of pain or so anymore..

Therefore, starting from today.. am gonna refer the parts of my body that gave me problems with the given scientific terms... I felt that.. my trapezus and superficial fascia is getting tighter and stiffer.. i guess it's time to loosen up my latissimus dorsi for awhile and rest my splenius capitis at the same time by sleeping.. so ciao!!

Triumph the insult comic dog
Wednesday, September 07, 2005

Let me proudly present to you... the up coming most hated interviewer/host/MC with a very good image defense mechanism.. TRIUMPH the Insult Comic DOG!!

"ta~daaa!!"

"The similarities between me and M.Jackson are, we are both made of plastic and occassional hand-up" - Triumph

Triumph, a plastic made black dog puppet could be considered as one of the most discussed and heated host in America now. This renowned puppet which first introduced to the public through (and almost always) the late night show with Conan O'Brien (another funny guy but not as sarcastic and critical as his canine counterpart) and right after his first appearance, majority of the Americans that just couldnt accept his "balanced analysis" on his interview outings formed severe prejudices towards the dog species... especially rockweiler (i made this one up). Yeap, it is that bad, those that who are open to critical, sarcastic dark humor and fictional insults would be his true fans whereas the rest who cant, viewed him as Osama the second.

Personally, I thought that the guy who's behind this is a very witty individual, equipped with godlike reflexes, instant sarcasm, and frantically humorous. Therefore, I decided to do a lil bit of research to search for the man behind "Triumph". The guy who make himself sounds like a latino or american italian (whichever) and handled Triumph's movements and reactions is this dude over here, *point below

Yeap, a guy that looks this ordinary could be a host or interviewer as controversial as ever as long as you throw away your own dignity and booze it up with sarcasm and harsh criticism. Psychologically speaking, this guy here is a genius, by deploying Triumph the fictional harsh character as the one who speaks, he lay down a perfect defense mechanism against any direct accusation and therefore he could carry out his job as both the most hated and the most hilarious host at the same time. As most of the audience or the public wouldnt know that this guy over here, Robert Smigel (lol, i forgot to mention his name earlier), is the one who directed the entire "evil" role as the most irritating, blood-oozing interviewer ever. Without a doubt, Robert, the guy who created, scripted, directed, and carried out Triumph and brought him the notorious fame is a genius. He is, he really is. (For those who never heard of him, or see him-as in triumph, "robert's alter ego", can click on this and have a first hand experience with the poopy triumph)

After taking a peep at this particular outing of Triumph (an open public warfare against all the Michael Jackson supporters, at the supporter's camp just outside his trial court, yes.. just outside), one with an open mind should really salute Robert, and appreciate his wits, his guts (lol, i guess he was wearing a bulletproof helmet, vest, and etc while doing the interview), and his creativity in speech. I admire his instant-spontaneous reaction time and his perfect observation skill that never escaped in catching on any lil facts that would support his speech or strike out some sparks of laughter. He never let go of any chance that could further expand his sarcasm... aight, words alone cant describe his marvelous hosting skills.. anyone who can take offensive jokes please please.. click it and hav a look..

If M.Jackson actually saw this, right before his trial or so.. it would be a good reason for him to act out as "unstable" psychologically again.. lol

Alrighty then, i shall keep this short.. as i need to get back to my report writing... life as a 3rd year uni-student arent as easy-going as what i thought.. sob

Quote of the day, "*point up, Will these faces ever LIE to you?" - Triumph aka Robert Smigel

Accidental? or plain Co-incidence?
Sunday, September 04, 2005

Few weeks back.. just out of curiousity and sudden urges to gain knowledge in one sense or another... i searched yahoo for the origin of the name "Fred", "Freddy", "Freddie" or "Frederick" etc, and instead of getting the result i wanted.. i saw the hyperlink of this website...
http://fredfactor.com

And i was like.. uhh.. what the..? What the hell is this? Someone took the name before me?? It make me looks stupid, as tho i am a much of a copycat or so.. Anyhow, despite of my sudden burst of frustration and ranting, i decided to click the link and have a look of what this "Fred" got to offer.

The first impression i got from that website was.. "? don't tell me this is a direct-selling scam or something like that..." As, the interface of the website just looked like one and with a big red statement of "Are you a Fred?" "Be a fred" Omigosh.. it's either direct-selling crap.. or some weird ass cults.. Nooo.. please dont condemn the name that's similar to my blogsite..

Somehow.. i managed to squeeze out abit of effort to read the introduction or what is it all about.. this.. fred factor thing.. and just to realize it's nothing too bad but a self-growth/self improvement book. In the books, it emphasized much on conceptual ideas and perceptions on not to live an ordinary life and stuffs like that..

Here's an excerpt from the author himself

"To this day, I can't tell you what motivated Fred. I know he didn't get paid more for his extraordinary work. I doubt he received any special recognition from his employer (if he did, I never heard about it). I know he wasn't privy to any exceptional training or incentive programs.

One thing I do know: Fred, and the way he did his job, is a perfect metaphor for anyone who wants to achieve and excel in the 21st century. Truth is transferable, and the four principles I learned from Fred apply to any person in any profession.

Inspired by Fred the Postman and the countless other Freds I've met, observed or been served by in numerous professions, I wrote The Fred Factor. It contains the simple yet profound lessons all the Freds taught me. Anyone can do them. Everyone should. By learning how to be a Fred it's possible to do extraordinary work. And that means being an extraordinary person as well-something we all want to be."

Yes, the original "Fred" who inspired the author (Mark Sanborn) and sparkled him with wonderful insights and thoughts to blossom up with the production of this "Fred-factor" series, is a postman...

Irony huh? Life is a big Irony by itself.. yep

For those who are interested in learning more bout life, choices, decisions, and philosophycal works like these, you could just click the link above and pay a visit to this creator of the "Fredfactor" not the "Fred-factor" (notice the difference? hehe.. damn him for grabbing the name before me).

Sighz for the cost that somebody actually thought of the name "fredfactor" before me, and further brought it up to a higher level with sparkling thoughts and insightful info (it make me sounds so pathetic... lol), propz for his effort to share what he learnt from this "fred" guy and this indirectly polished the general reputation of all the "Freds" in this world.. hehe..
