I Feel So Proud Of Myself. 😆 What Happened Was That I Had Created A Tinder Account To Explore The

This is really an eye-opener. We’ve roughly known what are the broad Infocomm topics: web/software development, graphic designing, video editing. This is different, it’s music! And what’s more, OP managed to turn a scribble into a cool, final music production!

My 3km Road Run Yesterday

As a non-sporty person, it was a remarkable feat to have constantly ran throughout the race with minimal walks. It was all thanks to Iskandar, my close friend, who kept pushing me to keep on running non-stop. It was a fantastical moment to see that as a result of his encouragements, my speed was on par with some fitter students that I have known.

His physical push only helps by ⅓ in effect, its success is purely symbolic

Initially, I thought that Iskandar’s physical push would be totally helpful because I had never really gotten someone to forcefully motivate me to run. Only to realised that despite his aid—his physical push to support my run—did not help solve or reduce the effects my physical exhaustion because it still requires tremendous effort to/maintain accelerate.

The continued efforts to run was largely attributed to my desire to keep up with his motivational demands as I did not want to disappoint him. The physical effect of running with and without his aid, would have been mostly the same such as physical strains and fatigue.

For the first time, I could feel a discomfort from my heart

As Iskandar forced me to keep on running, he also pushed me beyond my physical limits. For the first time in my life, I could feel a subtle sensation of pain from my heart. It was a very unusual feeling. Normally, when I am tired or during peak performance, I would expect a tingling sensation — a feeling that my heart can’t breathe any harder, but this time, it’s a real pain.

It was negligible, before gradually becoming more obvious. This was totally unexpected. I always thought those who often complains “heart pain” was exaggerating, but this time round I personally felt it as I pushed my natural limits that I am accustomed to.

Self-imposed a 10-second rule xD

Yes, yes, I know that it is better to strive for a constant run as opposed to short walks. However, that is easier said than done. It was not practical to set that standard to an unfit person like me. It was just a matter of when will you eventually give up and walk.

This is probably because of my natural limits that my heart is not used to work at such rate and so it would be difficult for me to maintain that good, constant pace. Additionally, the early symptom (subtle sensation of pain) forces me to be mindful of a potential fallout.

Hence, I responded to this challenge with a 10-second rule. I could intermittently take a break of up to 10 seconds, so that my body could re-calibrate itself and to relief the discomfort of my heart then continued running. It worked very well, and I managed to complete the entire 3km run with little to no walking at all. Much impressive compared to my 2.4km practice, which I will usually walk ≈0.5-1 round.

This Road Run is significant to me because of this rare moment of a close friend, who truly cares about me, tried his best to encourage me to try my best and effectively sacrificing his potential medals or achievements. He concurs that friendship triumphs achievements.

Hahaha, was trying to casually stitch multiple recordings and photos that were poorly taken into one video, and it turned out quite well (to me)! 

I was exploring rooftops and hoped to have a peaceful dinner on the rooftops with the spectacular urban landscape. Things didn’t turn out well initially, as I was caught by a manager just a moment before the lift opened. Luckily I managed to circumvent him later by befriending a Bangla worker there and he guided me around with authority. 👈🏻– although it isn’t cool that way, but at least got free narration for the entire tour on the office building 😝

Kudos to those rooftopers out there. They are terrific. The whole process I was preoccupied with fear&anxiety… it’s like entering into a condominium as an uninvited guest and going into the ⛔️restricted area (both by policy and by law) 🚷👮‍♂️

Wow, seems like this “first impression” thing is scientific, known as the Halo Effect. So conversely if you’re late the first time, that negative trait will form an overall bad impression of that you.

This means that the unmentioned bias is real…… if you seem clumsy during the very first encounter. 😝

The halo effect

People who are nice are often perceived as being more physically attractive, due to a cognitive bias known as the Halo Effect. This is because being exposed to a single positive trait of an individual causes us to form an overall positive impression of that person.

My Apple Music 3-month trial is ending, and I’ve dedicated a detailed review to Reddit that the Internet is missing regarding Apple Music vs. Spotify. Although it isn’t very well-received by the Apple community, I hope it serves as a helpful reference to future users who are looking for advice whether it’s worth to give Apple Music a try.

I’m very disappointed by Apple Music’s missing of essential features and plagued with bugs/glitches.

Nevertheless, I’m glad there’s a strong case for me to switch back to Spotify now since by right I hate copycats and I feel indebted to Spotify because it gave me a chance to get into music with its free streaming service model.

In the United States 🇺🇸, there are 2 sides of the aisle on the resolve of gun violence – gun deaths that killed tens of thousands every year or firearm injury that affects up to 70,000 yearly).

One advocates for more gun control (common sense), while another believes in more gun rights. The latter may sound counter-intuitive, but with proper research, I realised their belief is justified.

There is only 156 mass shootings in 2016, and a total deaths of ~800

Unlike the partisan narrative that some try to push, gun violence is less severe than how it is purported. This allows the Conservatives to dismiss statistics as “rubbish” and biased. Most of the gun violence deaths are suicidals, and mental health is a whole new category. Even if gun is banned, and a person determined to self-kill, it won’t stop the person from doing so.

Gun Right advocates also believe that more guns could be more effective in stopping mass shootings. For example, in the event of a rogue actor trying to carry out mass killing in the public, an armed Samaritan could come out to quash the shooter while waiting for police’s arrival. This helps to mitigate casualties and fatal deaths. Here are some real-world cases of aforementioned possibility.

As a result, unless guns are universally banned in the country and rigorously enforced, partial or compromises are ineffective and counterproductive to gun violence homicides or mass shootings.

Nonetheless, Gun Right advocates are also hell-bent on the solution of more guns to reduce gun violence deaths. Opposition would point to the success model of Japan and Australia of eliminating gun deaths by banning it and gun buyback programs to reduce firearms in circulation as their statistics. Unfortunately, Gun Rights also have their own statistics to substantiate their point.

If you look carefully, more guns ownership have no correlation to more gun deaths.

It is just the way of how we present the same piece of information.

Hence, that is why Gun Right advocates think to the contrary of the rest of the world and maybe this phenomenon is caused by the fact that criminals do not voluntarily relinquish their access to firearms and therefore an inadequate gun buyback or restriction program will instead put those law-abiders in greater danger. Gun prohibition is only effective in the long-term.

how many more fucking kids have to die in school because these selfish ass lawmakers don’t see the the importance of making stricter gun laws

This video is so helpful. 😅 It isn’t straightforward to fit the EarPods back into its case, and doing it haphazardly can damage the cable.

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.
