It is a subset of the guitar family of instruments.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">So what's so interesting about this Ukulele? For me, it's an interesting instrument which produces different type of interesting melody. Check this video out on how Jake Shimabukuro played Bohemian Rhapsody using Ukulele in one of the TED conference in 2010.</div><br />

Each adult person <i>should</i> have a proper job to earn money in order to fulfill all the basic needs of human (e.g foods, home, clothes etc). Yeah, they should have a proper one but nowadays we seldom hear about adults earn money from <i>easy way</i>s. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Easy way : Stealing, conning, "ragut", pyramid scheme, etc.</span></i></div><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But how about a job which earn massive amount of money but not really <i>useful.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Again, <i>useful</i> in my context is a non-critical job which means if the job doesn't exist people can still live as normal without any hiccups. <i> </i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A food for thought: a superstar footballers in UK earn a massive salary as high as </span><i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">£ </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">180,000 per week which means they can buy a new Mercedes every week. Whereas a nurse in UK earn roughly around </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">£ </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">250 per week</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But which is more important, a nurse or a footballer? I leave that <i>obvious</i> question for you guys to contemplate and answer. </span></div>Azizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14257261906212041546noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2575455221108177515.post-60341399840615756892011-01-25T00:14:00.000-08:002011-01-25T06:11:25.087-08:00Phobia<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><i>Phobia</i></b><i> :<b> </b></i><i>is an irrational, intense and persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared stimulus. When the fear is beyond one's control, and if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.</i></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Example, a person who has been bitten by a dog during his/her tender years, might fear of dog for the rest of his life. This can also be applied on someone who has experienced a near-death car accident. Due to emotional distress, he might not be able to drive a car forever. So different people may have different phobia: some of it phobia against closed place, insects, snakes etc.<i> </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I also know someone who has a phobia against a "Favored opponent" whenever he play Starcraft II. When this occurred, he will say "<i>Favored lagi bile nak lawan nubs ni</i>" - or in English: "Wtf? Again another favored opponents, we need more Noob NA player".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
