Who can tell?=============

One interesting story that I run across while scrolling one of Chedet's responses today...

Many years ago a wise peasant lived in China.

He had a son who was the gleam in his eyes and a white stallion which was his favourite belonging.

One day his horse escaped from his grounds and disappeared.

The villagers came to him one by one and said: “You are such an unlucky man. It is so bad about the horse.”
The peasant responded: “Who knows. Maybe it’s bad, maybe it’s good.”

The next day the stallion returned followed by 12 wild horses.
The neighbours visited him again and congratulated him for his luck.
He just said: “Who knows. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad.”

As it happens, the next day his son was attempting to break in one of the wild horses when he fell down and broke his leg.
Once more everyone came with their condolences: “It’s terrible.”
Again he replied: “Who knows. Maybe it’s bad, maybe it’s good.”

A few days passed and his poor son was limping around the village with his broken leg, when the emperor’s army entered the village announcing that a war was starting and they conscripted all the young men of the village.
However, they left the peasant’s son since he had a broken leg.
Once more, everyone was so jealous of the peasant.
They talked about his sheer luck.

He just muttered: “Who knows. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad..”

So it could well be for my broken laptop screen...... maybe it's good, maybe it's bad.. ha ha ha

Pecah Skrin (Broken LCD Screen)

I like the title to this posting, because normally we would have said it the other way round, like.... Skrin Pecah....
Anyway, this pecah skrin episode is about something to do with an LCD computer screen of my Laptop, which unfortunately went underneath and drove over by my car. The driver was me, Luckily, it was in a computer bag, so only the screen couldn't be saved.

Want to know how it happened??

Well, this thing usually happen when u are careless enough to forget that you have something valuable to put in a car. So this careless person, wanted to free one of his hands, he just place this computer bag beside the back wheel of his car...since the other hand was holding to something else. The computer bag was leaning comfortably to the wheels... he ha he ha...... After putting in that something else on the back seat, he forgot the bag!!!, and shut the back door, get into the front seat and reversed the car!!!. Its like watching a horror movie, if he could see what was going on, but, u know.... the malay proverb that says, Sudah terantuk baru tengadah.... which literally means, when your head got bumped, then only you realize that you should have look up .. he he ha ha....

Whatever it is, the technician says, it will cost around 600 something ringgit, the Malaysian money... to replace the screen... and mind you.. its very easy to replace the screen the way they show it on You Tube.

Well, thats the price to pay for my carelessness......

The broken screen, still intact

Now I'm using it this way, connecting it to another screen, so sayang to send it away for repairs...

The day it happened... 16th March 2009... some would have said... "U ni tak mandi kot...."

and those people in DELL (maybe) are having another celebration... because one of their more than 3 years old notebook which was run over by a car can still fuction normally, except for the screen of course..

Bushmen upset math and science not taught in Bushmen

I found this interesting laughable article while browsing today... just wanna share with you all out there...

CENTRAL KALAHARI — Bushmen leaders expressed their dissatisfaction today with the ongoing debate in Malaysia as to whether to continue teaching the subjects of Mathematics and Science in the English language, or revert back to doing it Bahasa Melayu.

Speaking from the main hut situated in the middle of the Nalu!ai village, the committee of the Tri-village Elders is unhappy that the Malaysian government had not considered the Bushmen language, the Khoisan, as the lingua franca for Malaysian schools. The language, with its intricate series of tongue clicks and nasal noises, is the main language in the South and Central African pre-modern tribes, collectively also known as the ‘San’ people.
