Mystery of his weirdness (prelude)

Lately, Ms.Polaris (a.k.a Cheng Yuin Yin) left a message on this blog's chatterbox....
When i first read it, i really had a good laugh.... (as a result, my stomach cramped for a moment, and perhaps that is one of the reasons resulting in my appetite loss for that particular day.... ahahaha....)

Anyway, later that day.... i was still thinking about this...
And i went to the the dictionary for help....

According to the famous yet reliable cambridge dictionary:
Mystery = something strange or unknown which has not yet been explained or understood
Strange = unusual and unexpected, very difficult to understand
Unknown = not known of familiar

hhhmmm...makes me wonder....
Once, Ms.Polaris claimed that i'm one of her many 'best friend'.....
So, since the pretty and beautiful yet intelligent close friend of mine finds me stange and mysterious, then it's natural for me to conclude that not many people understand me either...which kinda makes me, 'unique'...as everyone else...

Question is: What makes me appear to be so 'mysterious' and 'strange' to everyone else??

To find out more....Stay tuned!!!
I'll try my best to enlighten the curious...
Perhaps i'll list down my belief system and,
certain 'comments' from other ppl which i've 'collected' so far....

Comments and critique are strongly encouraged!

Ebay Snipping

Yes!!!!
Patience does pays off....
and when the fruit is ripe, the moment is su-weeet and satisfying...

I've been itching for a PC speaker lately.....
For the past 2 weeks, i've been shopping on ebay in search for a cheap good speaker.... For that period, i have my eyes on the logitech X530, and the logitech Z4... I'll take whichever i think is cheap enough for me... I've been monitoring the price of both speakers... the X530 usually sells off at 65+25(shipping fee)= 90aud and the Z4 usually at 90+20 = 110aud

However, i won a bid from ebay recently...
a brand new 5.1speaker from altec lansing... Name's GT5051.
ok, so the brand isn't logitech... but i suppose this will do just fine... it's altec lansing after all... According to reviews, the performance of GT5051 is somehow similiar to the logitech X530

I won the item at a super low price of 73aud..... Plus, there are no shipping and handling fees to it...
And i believe that was a rip off since the market price of GT5051 in australia ranges from 180 - 230 aud....
yup...i suppose anyone can say that i got it at 60% discount....




the whole process of bidding for the item was so exciting...
In the picture, that was me at the top of the list...
I outbid the previous guy for just 1aud...and look at the time!!!!
i placed my bid precisely 1 sec after he places his.....
Actually i kinda placed my bid 3secs before the bidding ends.... and lucky for me, turns out that i was the higgest bidder....
Now this is what everyone calls EBAY SNIPPING!!!!!
(names have been blurred to protect anonymity......and yeap, top of the list is the name of the ebay account i'm using)

I can almost feel the adrenaline rushing in as the bidding was about to end.... Coz it was at a super low price when the bid was about to end.....
And boy, was i relieved when the bidding ended..... to me, it was a bargain well worth...

Now, i'm just waiting for the product to arrive. Hopefully the product is in a near-perfect condition as promised by the seller....

If the Uni wants to challenge us.... So be it

Incoming!!!!
Something big is coming in my way........
With it bears the malicious shadow that would ignite one of my greatest fear!!!!
Within their nature lies a callous desire to enslave our little mind, for they have the fearful destructive ability to sap the energy and drain valuable time out of their victim, robbing them of their spirit and zest....Those struck by this kind of lurgy will be be placed on the verge of insanity from time to time...

My heart rate beats increasingly faster with each passing day. And this phenomenon will not stop until this ghastly shadow is surface to light.

Yeap, they are here....
It is inevitable, it is unstoppable, and it's coming for me!

On the 20th of June marks the arrival of my uni examination period!
This war will last for 0264 hours since the mark of its arrival...
With 8 battles altoghether, the fight will never end until 30th of June...
If the uni wants to test us, bring it on!!!

Only courage will be able to evict the shadows of fear....
Until then, I shall prepare myself for war!!!!
Equipped with the latest and the most reliable, state of the art equipment, I shall triump!!!

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is a fear which originates in the belief that the Biblical verse, Revelation 13:18, indicates that the number 666 is linked to Satan or the Anti-Christ.

Whether you have this kind of fear or you are just superstitious about it...read no more....
Coz below, is some interesting intepretation of the number 666.

However if u do not dislike the subject, then drag your mouse over to read....or just press 'CTRL+A'
(it's nothing controversial actually...thought i should hide it, just in case someone find s the reading material...unpleasent)

666...Today may be the mark of 666. Because of the date, 06/06/06, many regard this day to have some certain connection with antichrist, mark of the beast, satan, armegeddon, doomsday, catastophe and the likes. And this dreadful day happens every 100 years..

As mentioned in the bible, Revelation 13:16-18,
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."

Revelation 14:9 goes on to say, that no matter how much pressure there is to receive the mark, we must, under no circumstances, receive it: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath."

The Number of the Beast is mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament and has long been accepted to be 666 (or, in some cases, 616). The meaning of the number is debated. In some interpretations of Christian eschatology the "Beast" is believed to refer to a being controlled by or equated with the Antichrist.

hhhmmm...
i have no idea what it means. But by the sounds of it, it doens't sound good...

Another interesting stuff.....
John MacArthur explains the meaning of 666 this way: "The number represents the essential number of a man. The number 6 falls one short of God's perfect number, 7, and thus points to human imperfection. Antichrist, the most powerful human the world will ever know, will still be a man - a 6. The ultimate in human and demonic power is a 6, not perfect, as God is."
and according to an article in wikipedia, Organic molecules are based on carbon-12, with 6 Protons, 6 Neutrons and surrounded by 6 Electrons.

So, this question is still in debate....
Does the no.666 lie within each of us???
