World Premier "What Happens in Vegas"

Yesterday, cos now already pass midnight, after school, i went to Leicester's square as there was a premier at 6pm according to the newspaper i read on the tube to uni. that morning. I arrived there around 4pm and there's not many people gathering yet. However, i had to stand there and wait if I wanted to be in the front row... Well while i was waiting, I called to BlueWind to ask whether she wanted to come or not? The answer was NO! But we talked on the phone for nearly an hour as I got nothing to do and so did she... Well enough talking here are the pics...

The reporters! The two girl in front of me some how quit popular as around 4-5 reporters come to ask them to give some commentaries... And here on the left are the guest for the premier... Don know how they get the ticket... cos i search online they said, it is an invitation... but there must be some tickets on sale... Have to find out... Now here is the best part of this post! The star of the show AAHTON... Ta Tha Da!!

Don ask I haven't ask for autograph cos not really his big fan... The two girls in front of me kept shouting OMG OMG when they saw him coming... Lol... Girl!!

A guest star called, Danielle, don know her... but she is so pretty... and there was a group of girl... Don know who are they, star or not, but they just walk around and give people autograph and take pictures...

Olympic Torch Relay in London (06/04/08)

Well, for this special occasion, let's me show you some pics from the olympic torch relay that happened in london last week.There was lots of pics that i took on that day but there is not enough time for me now to post it all at once cos me now so busy with the assignments... Have to submit 2 assignment, prepare for two presentation and one exam this week... Oh man... what's a lovely life!! Here are some pics!

 

I started off by going to Chinatown... cos the olympic game is in China so there must be something different that happen in Chinatown (post it later)

So sad... Cannot see the torch's bearer face cos too many security guards... Only see the hand and the torch! She must be as popular as me!

Here are the supporters at London Bridge! Ready to run or fly with the bearer! Ready, Get set, Go!

My flatmate's friend (left), my flatmate, me... Well the flag! We borrow ke for a pic... Lol

Again only see the hand! But I decided to run along with her... and take more photo and here are the results!

Wow this one can sell to newspaper!

There was an exchange between bearers! Of course they just run like a couple of miles and then change to others!

The new bearer!

This is at Canary Whart! He is the first male bearer I saw on that day! First we came here just want to do some shopping, but just as we got out of the station they said that the torch was coming. It would arrive here by 10 min. So we wait again!

In the shopping mall, I got my face drew for the olympic event! It's free!

The final destination at O2 arena! Cannot go inside cos they need ticket! So i took the pic from the TV screen outside! Lolzzz so cool!

Happy Olympic 2008!

Day Light Saving!

Today at midnight, in UK, we have to change the time again... This time we have to move the clock one hour forward... Hope K1 know about it....

I now understand why they have to move the clock backward and forward! The reason is because now the day is start to get shorter and morning is earlier that why they have to set the time one hour forward...

So when will we set it backward? It will be after summer... Actually, this also happen the same in Cambodia and other countries all around the world. However, in cambodia we don really care about it, that why we ignore it...

Now have to sleep earlier cos they steal one hour of my beauty sleep! Lol

News in Cambodia!

Well this information is coming from our friend Chamreoun. I received it while i was chatting with him last Tuesday... Here the news:

Economics: There is a huge economics crisis... The price of the oil and gasoline is rising rapidly to about 4950 per liter. Therefore, the price of other products also rises. According to Chamreoun, the food at canteen at IFL also increase. Now the minimum price is 3500...

Communication Technology: Now there are two new telecom. network providers, 098 and 013. It tries to fight for the market against the other companies, especially 012... The promoting strategy, that these two companies use is to provide a free mobile internet for 3 months to new customers... However in here this, strategy is out of date... It should try to give out free phone for new customers with a price plan contract... That will attract most teenagers which is the big market...

Investment: There is now KFC in Cambodia... They said it is yummy, but for me I still like Lucky... Why? Cos here, KFC i'm not sure, but McDonald is suck... The burger is so small and the beef doesn't taste like beef at all... If you expect the burger to look like the display pic... You wish!

P.S. Hope McDonald doesn't find out about this... Lolzzz

Different in marking system!

One day during my lecture, long time ago, my lecturer told us about the different in marking system in UK.

In Cambodia, the score is deducted when we make mistake, right? However, here the mark is putting up and also deducted. If there is ten point to mention in the essay, you have to mention all of it and make it accurately. One idea mean one mark. Mark also deducts when you make vocabulary or grammatical mistake.

In UK, it is so rare for students to get above 70%! Why? Cos, 70+ is A already. It is equivalent to 85 in USA system...

On the other hand, it is so funny to here him said that, if you got less than 80 in German, you failed. Is it true? I don know.

Oh you can go to this website to see the comparison...

Interesting, right?

Top 10 Unexplained Phenomena

Number 10:

The Body/Mind Connection

Medical science is only beginning to understand the ways in which the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effectiveewhether they actually are or not. Using processes only poorly understood, the bodyes ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create.

Number 9:

Psychic powers and ESP

Psychic powers and extra-sensory perception (ESP) rank among the top ten unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so widespread. Many people believe that intuition (see #3) is a form of psychic power, a way of accessing arcane or special knowledge about the world or the future. Researchers have tested people who claim to have psychic powers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic powers cannot be tested, or for some reason diminish in the presence of skeptics or scientists. If this is true, science will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of psychic powers.

Number 8:

Near-Death Experiences and Life After Death

People who were once near death have sometimes reported various mystical experiences (such as going into a tunnel and emerging in a light, being reunited with loved ones, a sense of peace, etc.) that may suggest an existence beyond the grave. While such experiences are profound, no one has returned with proof or verifiable information from ebeyond the grave.e Skeptics suggest that the experiences are explainable as natural and predictable hallucinations of a traumatized brain, yet there is no way to know with certainty what causes near-death experiences, or if they truly are visions of ethe other side.e

Number 7:

UFOs

There is no doubt that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) existemany people see things in the skies that they cannot identify, ranging from aircraft to meteors. Whether or not any of those objects and lights are alien spacecraft is another matter entirely; given the fantastic distances and effort involved in just getting to Earth from across the universe, such a scenario seems unlikely. Still, while careful investigation has revealed known causes for most sighting reports, some UFO incidents will always remain unexplained.

Number 6:

Deje vu

Deje vu is a French phrase meaning ealready seen,e referring to the distinct, puzzling, and mysterious feeling of having experienced a specific set of circumstances before. A woman might walk into a building, for example, in a foreign country sheed never visited, and sense that the setting is eerily and intimately familiar. Some attribute deje vu to psychic experiences or unbidden glimpses of previous lives. As with intuition (see #3), research into ,human psychology can offer more naturalistic explanations, but ultimately the cause and nature of the phenomenon itself remains a mystery.

Number 5:

Ghosts

From the Shakespeare play "MacBeth" to the NBC show "Medium," spirits of the dead have long made an appearance in our culture and folklore. Many people have reported seeing apparitions of both shadowy strangers and departed loved ones. Though definitive proof for the existence of ghosts remains elusive, sincere eyewitnesses continue to report seeing, photographing, and even communicating with ghosts. Ghost investigators hope to one day prove that the dead can contact the living, providing a final answer to the mystery.

Number 4:

Mysterious Disappearances

People disappear for various reasons. Most are runaways, some succumb to accident, a few are abducted or killed, but most are eventually found. Not so with the truly mysterious disappearances. From the crew of the Marie Celeste to Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, and Natalee Holloway, some people seem to have vanished without a trace. When missing persons are found, it is always through police work, confession, or accident never by epsychic detectivese). But when the evidence is lacking and leads are lost, even police and forensic science canet always solve the crime.

Number 3:

Intuition

Whether we call it gut feelings, a esixth sense,e or something else, we have all experienced intuition at one time or another. Of course, gut feelings are often wrong (how many times during aircraft turbulence have you been esuree your plane was going down?), but they do seem to be right much of the time. Psychologists note that people subconsciously pick up information about the world around us, leading us to seemingly sense or know information without knowing exactly how or why we know it. But cases of intuition are difficult to prove or study, and psychology may only be part of the answer.

Number 2:

Bigfoot

For decades, large, hairy, manlike beasts called Bigfoot have occasionally been reported by eyewitnesses across America. Despite the thousands of Bigfoot that must exist for a breeding population, not a single body has been found. Not one has been killed by a hunter, struck dead by a speeding car, or even died of natural causes. In the absence of hard evidence like teeth or bones, support comes down to eyewitness sightings and ambiguous photos and films. Since it is logically impossible to prove a universal negative, science will never be able to prove that creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster do not exist, and it is possible that these mysterious beasts lurk far from prying eyes.

Number 1:

The Taos Hum

Some residents and visitors in the small city of Taos, New Mexico, have for years been annoyed and puzzled by a mysterious and faint low-frequency hum in the desert air. Oddly, only about 2 percent of Taos residents report hearing the sound. Some believe it is caused by unusual acoustics; others suspect mass hysteria or some secret, sinister purpose. Whether described as a whir, hum, or buzzeand whether psychological, natural, or supernaturaleno one has yet been able to locate the soundes origin.
