Coincidence

chewxy — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 16:52:33 +0800

A chicken farmer went to a local bar, sat next to a woman,
and ordered a glass of champagne.

The woman perked up and said, "How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!"

"What a coincidence," he said, "This is a special day for me. I'm celebrating."

"This is a special day for me, too, and I'm also celebrating!" said the woman.

"What a coincidence," said the man. As they clinked glasses he asked, "What are you celebrating?"

"My husband and I have been trying to have a child, and today my gynecologist told me I'm pregnant!"

"What a coincidence," said the man. "I'm a chicken farmer.
For years all my hens were infertile, but today they're finally laying fertilized eggs."

"That's great!" said the woman, "How did your chickens become fertile?"

"I switched cocks," he replied.

The woman smiled and said, "What a coincidence"

Because Sharing is Caring

This is pretty much a concept thread so far... But, let's all share our 3D stuff.

I saw Rumput Rampai wanting a minangkabau roof. If anyone has a file that is open to public, maybe they'd like to share it?

Teh Faaaake Thread

chewxy — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 11:26:13 +0800

Hello, I have NBTD.

Really NBTD, so I had created some fake ads over in my blog.

Then, I still felt that I have NBTD, so I have started this thread of fakes.

We go by a weekly basis. Every week, we post different fake stuff by photoshop, or by any other methods that will "graphically enhance" your image.

Post away!

World Lupus Day

chewxy — Wed, 10 May 2006 07:17:33 +0800

Hello,
Today is World Lupus Day
World Lupus Day will focus on the need for improved patient health care services, increased research into the causes of and a cure for lupus, enhanced physician diagnosis and treatment of lupus, and better epidemiological data on lupus globally.

What is Lupus (SLE - Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)?
It is a chronic disease that can cause inflammation, pain, and tissue damage throughout the body(systemic). Lupus is an autoimmune disease, in which a person's immune system attacks its own tissues as though they were foreign substances. Lupus can be mild or serious involving the kidneys, heart, lungs, or blood cells.
While the treatment for SLE has improved and long-term survival has increased, it remains a chronic disease that can limit activities. Although severe sickness can occur, this usually results from the most serious forms of the disease. More often, the quality of life is compromised by symptoms like fatigue and joint pains. These things are not life threatening!

Lupus affects women more than men (actual ratio is 9 women to 1 man), but the most famous lupus patient is none other than Michael Jackson (that's the reason his skin is bleached white)

The problem with this disease is that it is very unpredictable. Everything is unpredictable, the symptoms, etc etc. Even the diagnosis of it is unpredictable. As Dr. House put it in one of the Episodes of House, M.D, SLE is an "exclusion disease", meaning to diagnose it, you need to exclude everything else before finally making a firm diagnosis.

Symptoms of SLE
The symptoms of SLE is in a broad range. And very random too. Some patients don't have much symptoms, while some patients display a large variety of it. Some have rashes, some have headaches, some have bodily pain caused by inflamation. Sometimes the symptoms overlap.

Also, lupus patients have a period where their lives are totally calm, without any symptoms. This is called the remission stage. And then they suddenly display all symptoms. This is called a flare.

Another symptom of lupus is depression. The unpredictability of lupus and the occasional lack of response to treatment may cause some patients to be depressed, lose hope or the will to keep fighting, or other emotional distress such as irritability or anger. A good doctor-patient relationship and solid support from family and friends are key to learning to cope with this chronic and often unpredictable illness.

In Ending...
I'd like to remind lupus patients not to give up hope. Most SLE patients live normally to their 80s (statistically proven, need to quote citations...)
Many a times, when a patient is diagnosed as "no hope"... once they start to think positive, suddenly the start to live longer.

Finally, you'd ask why? Why did I decide to post this and sticky it?
Simple. Although I myself am not a lupus patient, but I personally know 3 persons who are struck with this chronic illness. One of this 3 persons I know is extremely close to me.

I post this because I care. It's time someone cared. And I am going to make everyone aware of this illness. There is a serious and acute lack of awareness going on around here.

Most Complicated CSS ever Challenge

chewxy — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 21:08:37 +0800

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a most complicated CSS ever page. Just one page will do. Can any of you guys suggest the most complicated CSS?

Structure would do. Something like created a double nested table using CSS (i.e box model) or something.

This is for a test on something. Credits will be given to the person who creates the most complicated and time consuming CSS-based page for a browser.

Thanks for helping out

The websites on the list can be freely linked to (meaning you can add links to any site on your own website)
Reciprocal links must be requested. This can be done either via:
- Personal Message

Link exchange may be moderated using site statistics such as Google PageRank or Yahoo!'s WebRank or Alexa's ranking. There is a high chance that it won't be implemented though.
Threeway link exchanging can also take place

List Explanation
The list will be split into Categories. Under each category, there will be sites. The list will then branch out below the sites that show its reciprocal links.

Example:
Category : Misc
www.xyz.com

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

OK. In this example, the site listed in www.xyz.com, and xyz.com has reciprocal links with aaa.com and bbb.com (meaning xyz.com links to aaa.com, and bbb.com, and both aaa.com and bbb.com link to xyz.com)
To ease reading, the spoiler tag would be used

Blog Listing

If you wish to inform people of an update in your blog, please give a slight description. For example, if you changed your blog header, you could post the before and after pictures of the blog. Or alternatively, you can use words to describe them.
Because there are many blogs in the list, the blog category will be pushed down the list (i.e no more number 1 in the category listing)
If the blog listing gets too large and gets uncomfortable for reading, the spoiler tag would be used

Discussion of Links and Website Development
This is allowed, just do it in a civil manner
