Gary Phang & Alicia Lee

I have read this from Zorro-Unmasked blog and would like to share it here.

The following is an actual question given on University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume
of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, and then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting, 'Oh my God.'

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

I have not been writing very consistently this month. These two months have been quite hectic for me. Sometimes I slept very late, you must be thinking I m watching football! No, sometimes I did testing at home for our company security stuff. Besides, as I mentioned earlier, I've also attended many functions. My pocket also drained up a lot.

There have been many comments & argument about increase in fuel prices. There are so many interesting blogs that gives us a different perspective, one that you won't find in our daily newspaper or mainstream newspaper. One that gives constructive analysis was http://kickdefella.wordpress.com/. The other interesting blog is of course www.chedet.com, our former PM, which was blocked by Blogger.com earlier on suspicion being spammed.

On Emelee front, she has been growing up quite well. She has emotions, occasionally throw tantrums, especially when she was tired, like to climb the sofa, playing peek-a-boo with us. Also she knows how to fix the entire wooden puzzle (12 pieces) we bought for her within a week, brilliant! Of course, she needs encouragement, we have to clap our hands and she also clap her ~sigh~. Really thank God she has been keeping up well though we have been travelling outstation almost every weekend. So much so that last Sunday all of us slept until almost 10am! Size wise, I think she will be no different from us! Though she is quite small in size, but she is quite though. Sometimes looking at her after a tiring and frustated day back from work really sooth my feeling. I wish I can come home earlier to fetch her from babysitter as I have been staying late in the office quite often these days.

And yes, what is the good news about I have wrote earlier? Some of you may have already know. We have another junior on the way! Alicia was pregnant for about less than 11 weeks. We were excited but somehow the feeling was not intense as the first baby. We are truly glad God has again promised us with this precious life. This baby can really eat, or I should have said Alicia can really eat! She has to drink milk every night and ate a lot. Sometime I got to go out to pack food for her even after we have our dinner. geeee... I can imagine her body size in month’s time; also, I have to watch out mine too. She also can vomit easily when she brush her teeth and can't sleep well at night but sleeps like a pig in the morning, hehehe. There was so much different in conceiving this baby compared with Emelee.

No wonder our country still poor and left behind.

"The Prime Minister currently enjoys a monthly entertainment allowance of RM18,865 while his deputy gets RM15,015. Other ministers and deputy ministers are given RM12,320 and RM6,000 respectively.
For the paid holidays, Cabinet members will not be allowed to claim for more than a week’s holiday"

All this while they have been traveling using our hard earned money from taxes; not only that, they bring along their families.These sort of cost cutting measures doesn't really affect them anyway. But the fuel price increase really going to affect us lot. Just hang on - more will come (I meant price increases of essential goods & services). But whatever it is, I believe all things happen has it reason only God knows. Just commit our days to our Lord and cast our worries/burden to Him. Thank you Jesus!

Have been really occupied lately. For the past two weeks, I have been attending wedding dinner one after another. Last week was my cousin brother wedding in Seremban and week before that, in Jasin, Melaka. This week another new shop opening ceremony, also in Melaka. Next week my so-called Godmother is having her 81st birthday celebration dinner. Phew! - like politician only. But my $$$resources was drain until nobody business. With the recent fuel price increase, I really have to limit my travel nowadays. Also have been keeping myself busy at work with my project hitting the crucial milestones.

Last weekend prior to the wedding dinner was a really refreshing break for me and Alicia. We spend most of the 2 days at home in my parent's house in Seremban. We ate and slept most of the time with fresh air and cool wheather surround us. Check out the picture below. Beautiful hills at the backdrop of the house :) Emelee enjoys her stay too with her roaming freely, picking up stones, strolling around the house, chasing dogs! yes she chase after those dogs.

Next I hope to continue to write about my wife :). And also some good news!

As mentioned my earlier post, I didn't write much about my wife though the theme of this blog consist of my name and hers. Where should I start?

Well, well, I got to know her many many years back, that's Dec 1993 to be exact. That's 15 years ago! My God! Is that really long since I knew her? That was during the fun, easy going life as a bachelor. Most of my friends have girlfriend(s). I think this is not different from our youth in our church. They call it "peer pressure". I used to be very timid and shy during my youthful days. Didn't really have an enjoyable period during that time. Back to my wife! emm.... she is a dark skinned, long hair with a "tahi lalat" next to her noose! hehehehe. She was introduced to me by my housemate cum friend from same hometown. She just came to town to further her studies, of course a bit "jinjang" at first look (sorry folks from Jinjang). Her sister was too busy either working or dating - ask me to take care of her! Can you imagine that, leaving her sister to a not so familiar person like me ;) Well, probably look innocent enough to be entrusted to take care of her. LOL. Next, brought her to Pertama Complex for "chap fun" dinner, of course walking distance from our house in Jln Merpati (near Sultan Ismail LRT station). We talked and shared quit a bit and wandering around the complex. Am I attracted to her? Not yet! I thought it was merely my obligation to do her sister a favor.

Again, it has been quite sometime didn’t update this blog. I have been overwhelmed with daily activities and just couldn’t have a sound mind to write. Went to my cousin wedding dinner (bride’s reception) in Jasin, Melaka last Saturday evening and came back after dinner. As usual, dinner in small town usually starts and ends promptly. Next morning serving in the church, by evening I have already half-dead. But my mischievous legs agreed to follow my baby sitter and their family to Cheras Leisure mall for jalan-jalan. Of course Emelee was very excited as she can go out sightseeing again. By night it took a toll on my body and I begun developed mild fever. Waking up this morning was indeed torturing. This weekend is also my cousin’s actual wedding ceremony and dinner back in Seremban ~sigh~. The other reason I seldom update also due to occasionally drawn to Facebook which provides “short-cuts” just to say hello, send some stuffs and getting connected to former acquaintances.

Emelee will be 1 years 4 months by coming 14 June. Though she don’t grow very tall (similar genre with dad!) she did put on weight and quite strong. She starts learning quite lot of things. She is also a very determine person judging from her perseverance in getting the baby chair belt fasten on her own. Now she can to it with ease. She also like encouragement when she did well in arranging puzzles. Emelee usually slept around 8pm (unless we travel) and she will do wild (not sure this is the right word to use) things e.g. jumping on the bed, throwing pillows, blankets and pacifier out from her bed. Today, a bit strange; besides those “wild” things she did; she did not want me to go out from the room which we usually did and let her sleep alone. She cried very loud for few minutes until I went to her aid and she starts her routine “wildness” again. This time, I just walk off and let her cry for some time. By the time I went in to check on her, she already sound asleep.
