SMS & Emo night~

Posted in Music, Random on July 10, 2009 by Bentoh

Good night my love. Can’t tell you how much I love you. try to sleep early, sweet dream.

a. Awwwwwwwwwwwww… So sweet!!!!!

b. EEeeeeewwwwwwww…

 

OK, I confess that I’m kepoh, but that fella basically typing his SMS to his love one like right in front of my eyes, no choice lah~~

Oh, kudos to him for not saving a template for the good night message… :P

I was rather emo tonight, and worse I went listening to all the cheesy emo-ish ballads… Perhaps it’s a good time to switch to something else, for now…

But seriously, this song is so fit into my mood all a sudden:

Scary looking singer, but nice rendition of this piece of ultimate cheese!

Say NO to ballad, eh?

The PCR Song

Posted in Music, Random on July 5, 2009 by Bentoh

OK, this clip was released i think 2 years ago, but I only managed to dig it out yesterday… Hilariously awesome*10!!!!

The clip is meant to mimic the song “We are the world” (music arrangement & music video! :D ), which I happened to watch it few hours before I watch this PCR clip… The song “We are the world” contains MJ, you know what I was doing… LOL

Anyway, PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction… It was a ground breaking technique in molecular biology, which won the inventor of the technique a nobel prize! Basically, when you need a large amount of a stretch of DNA, you definitely need to know PCR! And the lyrics of the PCR Song explains it:

There was a time when to amplify DNA,
You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.
(Oooh) Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,
Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.

Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,
Nucleotides and polymerases too.
Denaturing, annealing, and extending,
Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.

[Chorus]
PCR when you need to detect mutation (detect mutation)
PCR when you need to recombine (recombine)
PCR when you need to find out who the daddy is (who’s your daddy?)
PCR when you need to solve a crime (solve a crime)
[x2]

(Copied from http://practicality.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/the-pcr-song-with-lyrics/)

They say in the old days, doing PCR means shaking your reaction tubes in a hot water bath for say few minutes, and a cold water bath for few minutes… and repeating them for N times… (N here means a lot lah, I’m no molecular biologist… :P )

And nowadays, with a machine as seen in the video, you can do PCR by a few buttons!  :D

Smack/Smash into you

Posted in Music on July 4, 2009 by Bentoh

Kick arse editing! So a guy called Jon McLaughlin has a single called “Smack into you”. Beyonce then picked the song and released a single called “Smash into you”. Then someone else took the 2 versions, and combined them into one… So good!!!!

Am totally in cheesy ballad mode recently… I mean, come on, MJ’s songs are cheesy anyway… :P   And usually you’ll need a break after listening a whole day of MJ right?

Oh by the way, that farking 98.7fm was making fun with MJ’s “Heal the world” (I know it’s cheesy), you know, change the lyrics, whatever chicken curry whatever shit which is TOTALLY NOT FUN! Spoilt my gym-ing mode aje

Don’t ask don’t tell

Posted in Personal, Random on July 4, 2009 by Bentoh

Eh… I’m not referring to the US military policy which raises a few eyebrows recently…

 

I’m just trapped into a vicious cycle. A cycle incurred by not telling truth, but not telling lie either, i.e. silent and concealment. It is just concealment, prevent detection, not faking or pretending… OK, pardon me I just started writing my thesis introduction, which I’m required to define terms like “crypsis” (prevent detection) and “masquerade” (pretending to be something else) :P

 

First you don’t tell people about the truth. People henceforth thought the “truth” is by default so and so (which is wrong lah), and then people’s thought and perception get deeper and deeper because you don’t tell the truth. And of course it is harder for you to tell the truth because the impact of reality is getting greater and greater, the barrier grows bigger and bigger!

 

2 things to blame:

1. People always has a “by default” type of perception, like you are human (:P) unless you said otherwise… hmmmm…

2. Things are perhaps easier when you declare outright about the truth!

 

I always got this attitude, if people don’t ask me about it, I won’t tell, and I won’t make any effort to tell… but recently it seems things are getting worse! Maybe I should be a good boy and always tell the truth… =.=

 

Hmmm anyway, I must be too deep inside the camouflage studies, how come this entry looks so camouflaged/cryptic… =.=

NS

Posted in Random on July 2, 2009 by Bentoh

So everyone has been using NS to refer to National Service…

Oh well, some one with his hare mind proposed that teen should enter a 3-month-program called “Khidmat Negara” to make Malaysian more patriotic. Since Singapore has a more elaborate version of “National service”, and “Khidmat Negara” basically means “National Service” anyway (what am I talking?), everyone hence equating the dodgy “Khidmat Negara” program as NS…

But wait, NS is and was, strictly speaking, well associated with people in Negeri Sembilan! and NS is a freaking state of Malaysia! Like people won’t really use KL to refer to Kuai Lan or SG to refer to ShotGun right?

Nah, seems like we are just getting too in love with abbreviation~

 

Pardon me, I’m just feeling a little bit too… empty? or shall I say weird? So I decided to write something utterly stupid… :P
