We're all illogical hypocrites

There's 2 points that I want to share in this post:
1. We're all hypocrites
2. If people were more logical, a lot of unwanted incidents could be avoided.

I'm just using these 2 incidents as examples, but there are obviously more hypocritical examples in our everyday life.

First there was this video

Then there was this.

If you haven't watch it,
I'll sum them up.

First one was a man who shoved an elderly woman (who then fell off the bus). He shoved her because she pushed the bell late, and he though it was a waste of his time.

Second video was an elderly woman continuously scolding (and insulting) a girl even after the girl gave her seat to the elderly. It was a priority seat.

Without taking sides,
I try to stand from a logical point of view and analyse these 2 videos.

(Joel says I'm too logical to be human. =/)

Anyway,
First video,
what we saw was the man shouting at the woman, then shoving her.

Consequence:
People attack him (over the internet) for being rude to an elderly woman.

Second video,
what we saw was the woman shouting at the girl, and girl finally cursed at the woman and walked away.

Consequence:
People attack the woman (also over the internet) for being rude to the girl.

If you agree on the general public's opinion, which is "you shouldn't be rude to the elderly", why are you scolding the old lady in the second video?

If you don't see my point yet,
here's a more detailed explanation.

We did not see the whole story of both the incidents. Thus, we make assumptions.

Please read this post from a logical, neutral point of view.

First video, we assumed that the man was rude because he shoved the lady off the bus and then made excuses. We assumed that the lady was innocent.

Second video, we say that the elderly lady was ungrateful, scolding the girl while she's comfortably seated. The girl was obviously trying not to yell at the lady. We praise the girl for trying her best to be good.

The below point is hypothetical, if you're angered by it and object it, it's time you calm down and try and be logical.

What if
The elderly lady scolded the man in the first video like how the elderly lady scolded the girl before the video started and before we saw the man shoved her off the bus?

Would you think the man is less guilty now? If not, why do you think the girl should be blamed less? She did, in the end, yelled at the elderly woman.

How do you distinct between a rude young person and a patient young person? They were both rude at one point to the elderly.

Is scolding and insulting ok when you're treated the same way, but shoving someone is over the limit? If you really respect an elderly person, any form of aggressiveness towards them should be discredited, right? How do you justify your act of backing up the first elderly lady but then give negative comments on the second elderly lady?

The first elderly lady did, in fact, yelled something back at the man too.

First point done.

Second point:
We could see in the first video that the door of the bus was open. The elderly lady had 2 choices, get off the bus and ignore the man who yelled at her, or stay back and confront him.

She chose to confront him. The logical thing to do would be to walk away. If she walked away, he guy wouldn't get the chance to shove her off the bus. Unless he's extremely crazy and runs after her.

We could also see in the second video that there was space for the girl to walk away. She, like the elderly woman in the first video had 2 choices, to walk away, or to stay.


If the girl chose to walk away, the elderly lady would look like a fool for yelling at someone who isn't there. Since the woman cherish her "well earned" seat so much, I doubt she would go after the girl and scold her. Logical?

People tend to call people who walk away from trouble cowards, but I call them smart. How many people would still be alive if they walked away at the first sight of danger rather than stay and confronted it?

If you stay to confront someone, you're saying "YOLO" with your actions, because come on, how many confrontations would turn out fine? If the people who started the confrontation were calm and logical enough, there wouldn't even be a confrontation in the first place.

I've met so many asshole drivers on the road recently that if I stopped the car and confronted them whenever they honk at me even if it's their fault, I would have been injured or died several times in one day.

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. Seriously, ppl keep saying that Penang drivers are crazy, but I never cursed so much while driving in Penang. My observations tell me that there are more expensive cars in Klang Valley, and from what I see, the asshole drivers are mostly people with bigger cars.

I guess their logic is that they pay more road tax thus they can take up two lanes instead of one and cut into your lane without prior warning (read:signals).

Don't be an asshole. Driving in the middle of two lanes is not acceptable unless you're trying to land a plane on the highway. In that case, by all means.

Girl with the dragon skin tattoo

The modern day dinosaur.

It can grow up to 3m long,

is agile despite the size,

has a strong, muscular tail which is used to whip down its prey

and one single chomp by a Komodo can kill.

How cool is a Komodo Dragon?

It has the ability to see as far as 300m,

can make its prey loose the ability to retaliate with venom
or even kill with the venom,

has a keen sense of smell
is very strong

is a good swimmer

(Kicks-ass on land and water).

Has really tough armored skin.

Also able to take up preys that are bigger than itself

without breaking a sweat 

(geddit? Lizards don't sweat. Nvm)

Oh unlike The (ugly) Lizard

that Spider-Man is going to face,

imagine what kind of superhero I can be with the powers of The Komodo.

With it's agility in my frame,

I'll be as agile (if not more) than Spider-Man.

Sure I can't swing around,

but a spider can't swim can it?

Navigating through the sewer is a better way to get around

The sewer line goes everywhere,

and no one goes down the sewer.

(Other than IT.)

It's a good way of going undercover.

(Geddit? Under the cover? NVM).

The ability that a super hero needs?
Eyesight- can see as far as 300m,

Sense of smell- can sense up to 9km

Agility,

Strength,

Thick skin- natural armor,

Venom- render my enemies powerless,

and good looks (ahem)

that will captivate the male villains 

(well maybe they'll just wonder how long it took to do my make up)

and STRIKE when their guards (and jaws, hopefully not pants) are down!!

I call this:

The what-cha-looking-at-you're-gonna-get-your-ass-kicked-stare.

If all fails,

I have all the ability to turn into a villain

and get a come-back in another movie.

MUAHAH..... ok, not yet. 

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. I could actually work as a double agent between super heros and villains!! 

Oh the fun~ =D

Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 Review

Ok,
First of all, I have to say that I'm not a techy person,
so the review you're going to get is from someone who is almost clueless.


It's just a review from a bimbo.


The conclusion first:
It's a simple smart phone. If you're looking for a smart phone which is affordable,
but can give you the basic functions of a smart phone, for example:
Play games on a bigger screen,
Touching the screen of your phone,
Whattsapp, twitter, FB, Instagram
web browsing on a bigger screen,
kill green pigs with colourful birds that don't fly,
Take a dare to steal from a temple and get chased by monkey looking things,


give this a try.


If you're looking for a high performance phone,
well what you pay is what you get.

I didn't have much time to explore the phone,

since I'm not techy,

I simply don't know how to explore it.

I just used it like how I use my phone,

which is to take pictures, play games,

pretend to be busy to avoid awkward situations,

etc.

The first impression would be:
Striking.
It comes in yellow, so it's attention grabbing.
It's nice if your bag is a blackhole and you take an hour to find anything dropped inside.


With the colour, it'll be found in no time.


But if you think the colour is too happy,
it comes in black too.


The back cover and sides are made out of material that I believe will not get scratches easily.


There's 1 press-able button,
and 2 touch buttons.
like the other galaxy phones.


It's quite small,
so it's easy to hold, especially for the ladies.
No bulky phones.
It could be easily slipped into a clutch too.


The downside (?) of the size of this phone is you can't really feel it's presence,
even if it's tucked in your back pocket. 
With the situation in our country now,
I would suggest you keep checking if your phone is still around. 


The camera is 3.2 MP, and here are a few pictures taken with it.

Photos are unedited.


I'm not going to sentence the phone,
since I didn't use it for long,
but it's a decent phone.


Suitable for people 
who don't care much about fancy tech
I-just-want-a-smart-phone-to-join-the-trend type of people.
*cough*likeme*cough


Comparing it with my current phone, Galaxy Ace,
which was almost twice the price,
it has features that I would like to have.


Like sorting out the apps into folders,
direct wifi sending (of files)


If it came out earlier, I would totally get this phone,
because it's affordable and simple.


I don't use my phone often,
I don't have data plan,
SO my smart phone is just as smart as the user,
which is...


Bimbo level smartness.


But you know what,
While my Galaxy Ace doesn't support Temple Run,
this phone does!! 

for 2 weeks. 


If you have questions, leave it in the comment. =)

p.s.
Thanks to Nuffnang for giving me this chance to do a review. 

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

The title says it all.
There are not much surprises as he really is
a vampire hunter/slayer in the movie.

The storyline is simple.
Abraham Lincoln's mother was killed by a vampire.
He wanted to avenge his mother,
but the simple motive evolved into something more,

Well it's just mass vampire slaying.

Is it a great movie?
Nope.

But it's decent.

It doesn't follow the real life history
of Abraham Lincoln,
for example they never mentioned his sister,
and only 1 son was mentioned.

If you're good with USA history,
particularly Abraham Lincoln's,
you'll think that this is just bulldroppings.

However,
if you put all your skeptic mind away
and just watch the movie like another fictional story,
it's not bad a watch.

Expect some jumps coz it's a vampire movies.
Vampires have a thing for jumping at their prey nowadays.
The old vampires were more graceful.
They simply walk soundlessly towards their prey and attack.

Anyway,
vampires jumping out from nowhere,
50-50 talking and action.

They tried to make the USA civil war into a
vampire/human war.
Well if you have a free mind,
you could just take that as
"weeeelll, it's possible".

Because they had to squeeze Abraham Lincoln's life
into two hours,
you should expect parts that are missing.
It's logical.

No made up ways to kill vampires which I'm thankful of.
Sick of people coming up with stupid ways of killing vampires.
Silver is still the best bet here. Or off with the head.

There were a few successful scare scenes
because Caroline jumped in her seat a few times.

You know what happened in the end?

HE DIED!!
The end.

A lip thing

Been lazy to update my blog with actual posts.

I've been a little experimental with make up

and colours.

Played around with my lip colours,

experimented with eyeshadows

and these are the few looks I came up with.

=)

All that glitters.

 A mixture of gold and bronze eyeshadow. 

Bronze in the middle and gold on the outer rim.

Down the spectrum

 Mixture of purple and blue for the top lip

Dark red, pink and beige on the bottom.

Basic gradient

As the name suggests,

it's just red on the inner part

and slightly pulling the colour out,

creating a gradient look. 

This is probably my favourite.

Purple poison

I used my purple in2it eyeshadow.

The top. 

With black in the middle,

dark purple,

light purple,

pink and beige.

Started with the light colours,

and then work inward,

with black as the last colour.

The eyeshadow makes your lips look

really dried. 

So it's just for fun.

I've always been insecure about my lips and teeth.

The teeth are not really crooked,

but they're not straight either.

I have thin lips,

so when I smile a teethy smile,

My upper lip will disappear which looks very weird.

You can rarely find pictures in which I have wide teeth baring smiles. 

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. The colours look darker and nicer in real life,

somehow the camera just can't capture it.
