Quake moved Earth's axis
The Chilean quake shifted the Earth's axis by even more than the 9.1-magnitude temblor off Indonesia that set off the deadly tsunami in Asia in 2004, Gross worked out. — PHOTO: AFP
WASHINGTON - THE powerful earthquake that shook Chile on Saturday probably shifted the Earth's axis and made days slightly shorter, a Nasa scientist said.
WASHINGTON - THE powerful earthquake that shook Chile on Saturday probably shifted the Earth's axis and made days slightly shorter, a Nasa scientist said.
Dr Richard Gross, a research scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, calculated that the planet's axis would have shifted by 8cm during the 8.8 magnitude quake, Nasa said in a statement.
Earth days are 24 hours long because that's the amount of time it takes the planet to make one full rotation on its axis, so shifting the axis would affect rotation.
If, indeed, the planet's axis did shift by eight centimeters during the Chilean quake, days would have shortened by 1.26 microseconds, Dr Gross calculated. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second, so there is no need to adjust watches just yet.
The Chilean quake shifted the Earth's axis by even more than the 9.1-magnitude temblor off Indonesia that set off the deadly tsunami in Asia in 2004, Dr Gross worked out.
That's partly because the faultline responsible for the earthquake in Chile 'dips into Earth at a slightly steeper angle than does the fault responsible for the 2004 Sumatran earthquake' and is more effective at moving Earth's mass vertically and shifting the planet's axis. The 2004 quake in Asia caused the Earth to move by around 7cm and chopped an estimated 6.8 microseconds off the length of a day, Nasa said. — AFP

All This is for Your Own Good!
I read something in the Bible several days ago which I find somewhat funny because it reminds me of a popular quote by Singaporean parents that says "All this is for your own good!" The Bible verse states:
Hmm, however we like to put it, many things in life are done for our own good and for our sakes, so we ought to be thankful always!
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 4:15 NIV)
Hmm, however we like to put it, many things in life are done for our own good and for our sakes, so we ought to be thankful always!

My New E52 Mobile Phone
I've just purchased a new mobile phone. The Nokia E52 black.
My reasons for buying: Because I need a new phone as my current 2G mobile is old and dying. The Nokia E52 offers me 3 things I need most: a built-in dictionary that provides a translate function to define words like a real print dictionary, extensive writing capabilities with active Notes and MS Word compatible word processor, and support for large applications with memory up to 16GB.
I'm now still at the exploring stage, but should be no problem because this model is quite user friendly.

Hooters-Style Coffee Shop @ KL
Posted on 28 Sep 2009
You can say that this is a case of Kopi C served in a C Cup, literally. But it is not happening at a Hooters' outlet. Believe it or not, this is at a humble Kuala Lumpur kopi tiam.
You can say that this is a case of Kopi C served in a C Cup, literally. But it is not happening at a Hooters' outlet. Believe it or not, this is at a humble Kuala Lumpur kopi tiam.
Singapore kopi tiam owners, please take note, says Stomper DJAM, who received the story and photos via email. Instead of the grubby atmosphere and well-covered up and unattractive beer ladies at Singapore kopi tiams, they should employ these Malaysian girls.
Customers will be better served and the kopi tiams will be able to boost their business if they take a leaf from this Malaysian bright spark at a kopi tiam in Cawangan Bandar Perdana in the Malaysian capital.
A bevy of sexy, young and pretty women serve the beverages and food. They will also talk, play cards and watch the football channel with customers.
One catch though: The price of kopi, beer, teh, milo, nasi goreng, nasi lemak, nasi ulam, mee goreng, seafood tang hun, beef kway teow are all double what one usually pays at other kopi tiams.
Surprisingly, the kopi tiam is owned by a group of women, who employ good-looking and well-endowed girls.
The salary paid to these girls is comparable with what they would get working in an office.

Disgusting Behavior
at crowded Ion foodcourt
A STOMPer's friend was disgusted when the family seated at the table next to hers at Opera foodcourt in Ion allowed their daughter to poop in a potty right in the middle of the place.
Says this STOMPer's friend:
"My friend showed me this photo while she was at Opera foodcourt at Ion.
"It's at about 7 pm on a Saturday, meaning there are a LOT of people and this family of three generations were seated at the table next to her.
"One of the girls' needed to take a dump, so they took out a pot for her to dump in...right in the middle of the foodcourt.
"She said it was damn smelly and gross because she was seated right next to them.
"So uncivilised."

Price Up by 100% for IBP Shuttle Service
JTC announced to the IBP community yesterday that the fare for their shuttle transport to and from Jurong East will be increased from the current 20 cents per one-way trip to 40 cents.
This means people like me who rely on the shuttle service regularly will have to face a permanent income cut, while businesses at Jurong East, especially the food courts and coffee shops, will also be indirectly affected. Currently, many workers at IBP take the shuttle service to and from Jurong East to go for lunch which fare is 40 cents per round trip per person. Come December 1, this will mean an increase of 100 per cent of the cost at 80 cents per person.
Looks like I'll have to consider walking to office from Jurong East MRT station in the future, and will certainly cut down my frequency of having lunch at Jurong East!
So much for boosting the economic downturn and cutting cost!

Toilets and Building Management
I work in an office at IBP. Recently, the management of the office building announced they will be upgrading the toilets, and that is supposed to be good news.
Over the last weekend, the contractors commenced work, starting from the floor I am working in. All the toilets of that floor (3 for males and 3 for females) are now closed for the upgrade and tenants are expected to go to other floors to do their toilet business for the next 6 weeks.
This floor-by-floor approach to renovating all the toilets for the building is to me an act of STUPIDITY. I have never seen such a BRAINLESS act in my entire life. Under normal circumstances, toilet renovations are usually done in the same area or segment for different floors at the same time so as to allow tenants of each floor to have at least one male and female toilet to use while the other toilets on the same floor are being renovated.
Obviously, it's too late for me to make any complain now as the work has already commenced, I guess what I can do, just for my own satisfaction, is to show some reactive responses by having the following notice pasted on all the doors of the toilets currently being upgraded.
I am fighting for a cause, hopefully to help increase the intelligence of the building management, not to do the same for the other floors!

Gardening
I have written several articles on the topic of gardening last quarter.
Recently, I started playing a gardening game called 'My Farm.' So far I have plowed and harvested several crops, bought myself several plants, and some animals. My crops include strawberries, tomatoes, corn, rice, wheat, potatoes and sunflower.
Recently, I started playing a gardening game called 'My Farm.' So far I have plowed and harvested several crops, bought myself several plants, and some animals. My crops include strawberries, tomatoes, corn, rice, wheat, potatoes and sunflower.
Depending on the type of crops, the timing for reaping will be different. Some are ready for harvesting within a day, others within two or three days. I can also reap fruits from my plants/trees.This game teaches me short term patience to wait a day or two to allow the crops to grow before harvesting.

Daily Shuttle Madness
Take a look at the picture below and you will understand why I am suffering every morning simply to travel to my office located at Jurong East's International Business Park.
Photo: October 13, 2009 at 08:27
The photo shows a typical daily scene of the morning queues for shuttles at Jurong East temporary shuttle 'interchange' near the JTC building below the Jurong East MRT staton.
This morning, I have to wait for more than half an hour before managing to catch the shuttle to IBP, causing me to be rather late to work.
Wonder why the shuttle 'interchange' cannot be arranged like the interchange for public buses. Presently, it is just a place to jam up all the company shuttles around the area.
