The great mathematician, Leonhard Euler(pronounced oiler) said that logic "is the foundation of the certainty of all the knowledge we acquire." - Euler(1997), CV, p.469

This article shows that what is problem with Sony. It was important that PSP was not just gaming system any more but it does not mean that this is PDA, Portable Media Player or something.
Here in Malaysia, PSP game price was too expensive. Price was more expensive than Sony website's shopping mall price. So I do not think game quality was not that good enough than what I pay. And most problem was not many choice for game and not interesting.

The Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

I have been read The Chronicles of Narnia "The Magician's Nephew" and "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". It was quite interesting to read. I have been enjoy a reading.
I already heard about the author C.S. Lewis, but I thought his novel was not very old fantasy story because I did not know the a lot of novel and how old that book published.

I think one of my friend or website said that J.R.R Tolkien was friend of C.S Lewis and then I did know the how old that book must be and I did know the publish year from the wikipedia.org.
One interesting thing is that "The Magician's Nephew" was published almost last of the chronicles. And publish company decided this one was first book of the chronicles. It was children book so it was understandable. I also read follow the that sequence but I imagine that what if I read sequence by the published year and maybe I can be more interesting to read.
Because I believe that

I do not want to think about her.

She did not come to class today and it just came up from my mind.
I cannot deny that is my worries.

I just need more time for forgetting.
I still have my hope. I could not deny it. But, it does not make any good. I mean I realised that I do not like some of her personality. So I have to eliminate any desire from my heart. It must be very hard but I do not have any choice. It does not matter how hard it will be. Because decision was already made.

I just need more more time... That's what I wish for.

I thought my life was quite changed.

But, it is not. It is just dream.

I was so tiring, but I could not fell sleep easily. And then I woke up around 5:40am and tried to sleep but something was so much bothering me.


I thought I was special to someone but, I figured out that I was not.
I am just nobody who always staying easy access place for her for her convenience.

How could I believe that someone said that love me, but me was not important than her friends. If it is her bestfriends, maybe I can little bit understand. But, it was just friends. So it is special friends thing what she wanted to our relationship before when she said that she loves me.

I almost quit smoking around half year, but I started again. Of course, it was me did it again.
I tried to quit smoking again, but I could not because everytime something was so much bothering me so I could not help it.
It is the time, isn't it? It is the time I should let her go.

Love always brought sadness with great happiness.

Whether you like it or not, love always brought great sadness with happiness. I know title was either way but, it is depend on what you wish for.
I believe love cannot bring the happiness only. It always bring the sadness, too.

I believe happiness can very easily found in small happen so I wish I can find everywhere and everytime. But, it is still in hidden place so I do not know how can I find. I just hope that I can find soon before I gave up.

It's just happened so fast.

It was me who did stupid thing but, I really did not intend to this happen.
It cannot make excuses about this terribly big incident, I think. I cannot go back to past so I will just miserable myself.

I quit smoking quite a long time but, it really is easy to start all over again. I really do not want to start again but, I could not much help myself. I know it will killing me but, I do not care about my life now. I could not promise to quit again soon.
But, someday I will quit again, I think. I do not care, if I cannot quit.

Life is not really easy for me. Maybe, because I do not know how should I living with other people.
I just hope that time will heal me.

My favourite scene in Spiderman

I was busy doing my study so I could not able to write piece of my thought.


This is almost ending scene.
You must miss him so much.
- It's been so hard without him.
There is something I wanting to tell you. When I was up there and I thought I was gonna die, there is only one person who I was thinking of. And it wasn't who I thought be. It was you Pete. I kept thinking, I hope I make you through this. So I can see Peter Parker's face all the time.
- Really?
There is only one man who's always been there for me. Who makes me feel like I am more than I ever thought I could be. That I am just me and that's okay. The truth is I love you. I love you so much Peter.
[All I wanted, was to tell her how much I loved her.]
- I can't.
You can't, what?
- Tell you... everything I mean... so much to tell.
Yah. There's so much to tell.
- I wanted you to know. I will always be there for you. I will always be there to take care of you. I promise you that. I will always be your friend.
Only a friend? Peter Parker?
- That's all I have to give.
Whatever life hold store for me. I will never forget this words "Great power comes great reponsbility". This is my gift. This is my curse. Who am I? I am spiderman.

How can I change people's mind?

Most of Korean cannot speak English.(Some of Korean or some people will be complain about what I said.) But, let us face the truth. Do you know why I say so? Some Korean sounds like can speak English but, they do not really understand what exact meaning is. For example, if I say "Let's go to the eat.", they understand "Let's go to the restaurant.".(It is just example of situation.) Can you say they speak English, can't you?
That is why I am trying to change the their way of learn English. But, how can I?

I know that one of most diffcult thing should be the change someone's mind.
I just hope that many Korean people realise the fact. I really hope so.

I apologise about could not keep in touch with you.

To. all my friends

It happened because of my laziness. Also there has other reason like difficulty about writing by English.
I am writing about learn English by Korean in my Korean blog site and then I realise that I am not that uncomfortable with writing something by English. Nowadays I have a different problem. I am forgetting or confusing the English spelling. It never happen before so I just lost my word :-( Whenever I write something, I have to check out my computer dictionary more than 7 times. It is driving me crazy :-(
Well. I can writing the email to you when I have a little time. From now on, I will try to keep in touch with you.

I hope you well and take care! Keep in touch!

DEAR OH DEAR !!!!!!

I have got email from my friend.

Phone Tale:
"Hello?"
"Hi, honey, this is Daddy .... Is your Mummy near the phone?"
"No,Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Frank."
After a brief pause, Daddy says,
"But you haven't got an Uncle Frank, honey!"
"Oh Yes, I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mummy, right now!"
"Uh, Okay, then ... here's what I want you do. Put down the phone, run upstairs and knock on th e bedroom door and shout to Mummy and Uncle Frank that Daddy's car's just pulled up outside the house."
"Okay, Daddy!" A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone.
"Well, I did what you said, Daddy."
"And what happened?" he asks.
"Well, Mummy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming, then she tripped over the rug and went flying out the front window and now she's all dead."
"Oh my God!!!!! And what about Uncle Frank?"
"He jumped out of bed with no clothes on too and he was all scared and he jumped out the back window into the swimming pool but he must have forgot that last week you took out all the water to clean it, so he hit the bottom of the swimming pool and now he's all real dead too."
***long pause***
***more pause****
Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool???? Is this 555-7039?"

My korean blog

I did not plan to doing the Korean blog last time(Because keep it two blog and language is not easy. Last my blog is good example-title is 'War of the world'- because, I did it English after that I did it Korean again. I felt uneasiness and difficulties.) but, I have a lot of thought about the learning English, wrong idea of other country's culture and people, problem the system and Korea society.
I learn many cultural things from staying Malaysia, visiting Philipines and learn English so I can write about my thoughts.
Korea has many blog sites so I could not decide which one should I use. Finally, I decided it and I will introduce here. I think nobody will check out the my Korean blog because of Korean language but, I will left it here.

War of the worlds

movie info. : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/

Before I watched movie, I heard about the movie from my friend. And he did not say nice but he said spectacle. It is Steven Spielberg's movie but not very famous, I guess. So my mind become this movie is not good enough.

Yesterday I watched movie with my friend. Screen is just normal size because they show them already long time ago. It is a spectacular movie. Actually, I do not like Tom Cruise's acting because I feel his acting was just okay and I do not feel nice or good.(I like his old movie's acting.-Cocktail, Jerry Mcguire, Interview with vampire-)

I was not very happy with that movie's actor or actress(except Tim Robbins's acting) because I am really interesting about the actor or actress's acting.(Last time, I was not happy with watching the Troy-I felt boring- but, when I saw the Achilles's die scene, I terribly impressed by his acting. And then my mind become love to watch again.)

I thought I also would not like this movie. But, when I saw the scene where they drove the car to the crowd, I was impressed. It shows that realistic of what human being like. That is why I like too much.
I still does not like the actor and actress's acting and strange stroy line but, I like the message. I believe that good movie has a good message.

I also surprised with Steven Spilberg because his most of movies has hero but, this movie does not have it. I do not like heroic movie because it is difficult to see the realistic. (Because, I prefer to watch the realistic movie like drama.)

Because, I am having problem with connect this website. When I was trying to connect here or xanga.com's homepage, it said that cannot connect this domain. So I decided to move my new blog site.

I hurt someone and myself.

I really did not mean to. It suppose to be different but I wrote sms to friend of mine and I realize that a few things can be hurt. That's why I did not suppose to be use sms. I should have to talk not sms.
She said that to me about last time but I thought it is not matter to her because she did not say anything about them. But, she also said that last time also she hurt. I cannot think about what exactly misunderstand about what was I told to her. I have not a clue.(I thought it can be sms but she said that when I talk to her. But, if so, why she did not tell to me.)
So I do not know what to do because she did not want to meet me now.

My sms did not mean to be sad because it cannot be. But, my thought could based on Korea and her thought could based on Malaysia so I think it is definitely different culture and can be happen. That's why I want to explain to her.
I feel cultural thing is not easy. I just hope that I have chance to explain about what I wrote sms for her as soon as possible.

I really hate this happen because it is not suppose to be.
