This post is dedicated to our dearest NoobFishyme.
June17th was his Birthday!!!
yeah, so Goat decided to celebrate for him at Sunway Pyramid on wednesday.
Early morning 9.30am, guess not that early though.lol.
I arrived at campus to get some books at the library and renew some of them.
Kesian Ning, goat and Niannian, all of them waited for me to settle my stuff, and so willingly to fetch me to pyramid. aha, Thanks guys!
We had breakfast at rock cafe, where we met Mr. Set and Ootz.
later we reach pyramid, everyone asked the Birthday boy for the 1st activity. As usual,
CINEMA!
Had quite a hard time deciding which movie to watch. Due to a democratic majority movement, the decision on MONSTER VS ALIEN was put up. Just before the movie start, Teo arrived.
It took quite awhile to wait for everyone to turn up.
( Sad la wyn, called me during the movie. Cant reach him earlier, He was in an exam... lol)
The movie was... 1 word described : FUNNY. Laugh our ass off at a few part ( not few, quite alot). After the movie, the hard part comes for Lunch?!?
Another headache. Ningning come up with a stupid idea of randomly picking a number, then request goat to get the name of the restaurant from the directory according to his randomly picked number. Silly.
and another bingo, TGIFriday's !!!! xD
cham liao...
Ouch ouch ouch to the wallet of many of us.
Here's a screenshot for the initial expression when we sat down.
Teo and ning: " bo rasa.... nvm"
Wyncent: " Abit pain pain... but can la, not everyday"
Goat: "heh..heh heh....heh...."
Kuan: "See me, mou man tai la!"
Nian-nian: "cincai laa.. i m starving.."
Ootz: " Absolutely no way for me.... Bakrupt liao..."
(Hand waving style = GG )
The Red Circle is Yuning's CAKE!!! LOL
so Big! xD
Ning Ning volunteered/Forced to sing one of his favourite song,
Love Story by Taylor Swift.
"I'v been waiting, for you but you never come.... "
Ning Ning with his Birthday Present... FISH!! haha
Fish was so high at the moment
that he gave a nice seducive wink,
That was how I imagined it to be,
The actual want is this one....
Thank goodness.. the cake was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S
It taste exactly like
CHOCOLATE!! =)
Fish liked it so much!!!!! 
P/S: NICE SMILE, FISH!!
We had lots Of FUN together. Especially DOTA!!!!

Not for classes, but to study. Weirdo case.
Those living in the hostel are slumberring through as usual.
I went online after a peak through on physics.
79mails. Facebook and Friendster notification crap.
What that surprises me is that:
A few reply from Professor Kantley, Mr. Robert S.B. from atheism.com
due to my query about definition on ultimate being as the Supreme, Moral and Religion and
Relation about Science and Religion as including the discovery of Higgs Boson.
This is what they gave me:
Mr jacby91,
I hope you will have a better understanding for your questions. Please follow the link below,
http://atheism.about.com/od/whatisgod/What_is_God_Definitions_Characteristics_and_Attributes_of_God.htm
Contents are highly controversial and debatable. My advise is that you use the articles for research studies only, not public debates. Thank You.
Here's the extract:
When a theist claims that a god exists, one of the first questions atheists should ask is "what do you mean by 'god'?" Without understanding what the theist means, the atheist simply cannot evaluate the claim. By the same token, unless the theist is very clear about what he means, he cannot adequately explain and defend his beliefs.
When debating the existence of god, perhaps the most important step is the one that gets overlooked the most often, and by both atheists and theists: defining what is meant by the concept 'god.' You can't debate the existence of something unless everyone is clear what it is they are talking about;
otherwise, people might be talking about completely different things.
God as Abuser: Similarities Between the Christian God and Abusive Spouses
It's common for Christians to compare the relationship between humanity and God to that between husband and wife. God is the "man" of the house to whom humanity owes obedience, respect, and honor. Usually this relationship is portrayed as one of love, but in far too many ways, God is more like an abusive spouse who only knows how to love through intimidation and violence.
A review of classic signs and symptoms of spousal abuse reveals how abusive the "relationship" people have with God is.

Index of Attributes and Characteristics
The one thing that differentiates atheists from theists is that the latter believe in some sort of god while the former don't. If they are going to debate the existence of any gods, it's critical that understand just what it is they are talking about and why.
What's the point of debating the possible existence of God if no one has tried to come to an agreement as to what they mean by God?
I believe this is very true. The definition itself is uncertain.

Why Defining God is Important
It might seem to some that discussing the nature, attributes, and character of a supposed god doesn’t make a whole lot of sense unless there is some reason to think that this god or even any gods exist in the first place. After all, isn’t discussing whether or not a god is omnipotent or omniscient just a waste of time if we have no good reason to suppose it even exists?
Omnipotent is oftenly used to describe the ability of a deity:
: Seeking a deity's omnipotent, human tend to rely on god's ability to accomplish what they feel unachievable. But the strength in their heart boost their morale without them noticing.
the fact is, they accredit the supreme for their success, not themselves, resulting higher reliance,
a fall in confidence on self-ability.

Omnipotent is oftenly used to describe the ability of a deity:
- A deity is able to do anything that is logically possible for it to do[1].
- A deity is able to do anything that it chooses to do[2].
- A deity is able to do anything that is in accord with its own nature (thus, for instance, if it is a logical consequence of a deity's nature that what it speaks is truth, then it is not able to lie).
- Hold that it is part of a deity's nature to be consistent and that it would be inconsistent for said deity to go against its own laws unless there was a reason to do so.[3]
- A deity is able to do anything that corresponds with its omniscience and therefore with its worldplan
- A deity is able to do absolutely anything, even the logically impossible.

God Exists: Necessary & Self-Existent
It might seem odd to list "existence" as an attribute of God, but that's not actually the point here. Of course believers think that their god exists - what is at issue is how God exists. According to philosophical theism, God exists in a very special and unique way: God's existence is necessary rather than contingent.

According to philosophical theism, God exists in a very special and unique way: God's existence is necessary rather than contingent.
God is the Creator & Sustainer of Existence
A very common attribute of gods in religious traditions around the world is that of creation — our universe, our world, and indeed our very selves often owe their existence to creative acts of the gods. In the Western traditions of philosophical theism, the existence of everything is owed to a single creative act by a single perfect God.
This is not a definite argument that applies on all religion.
Buddhism as an example, denies the theism claim that Everything is the creation of the Supreme.
Instead, Buddhism theorised that life is an energy, Nature built itself and sustains itself, claiming that the life cycle occurs naturally, as buddhism doesn't focus on worshipping a Supreme Being, for there isn't any.

Faith is Unreliable & Unreasonable: Faith is Not a Source of Knowledge
A common characteristic of both theism and religion is their reliance on faith: belief in the existence of a god and in the truth of religious doctrines is neither founded upon nor defended by logic, reason, evidence, or science. Instead, people are supposed to have faith — a position they wouldn’t consciously adopt with just about any other issue. Faith, though, is an unreliable guide to reality or means for acquiring knowledge. Faith can be used to defend anything and everything equally.
Faith leads to an accusation, manipulation and explanation of rare possibilities reflecting the occurance of an event.

Gods & Theists Behave Immorally: How Can Moral Gods Behave Immorally?
In most religions, gods are supposed to be the source of all morality. For most believers, their religion represents an institution for promoting an ideal model of morality. In reality, though, religions are responsible for widespread immorality and gods have characteristics or histories which make them worse than the most vile human serial killer. No one would tolerate such behavior on the part of a person, but when with a god it all becomes laudable — even an example to follow.
A good example is the traits of roman-gods. Some with Violence, lust and Greed for power.
Gods Are Too Similar to Believers: Gods Probably Created in the Image of Humans
A few cultures, like ancient Greece, have postulated gods which appear to be as natural as human beings, but in general gods are supernatural. This means that they are fundamentally different from human beings or anything on earth. Despite this, however, theists consistently describe their gods in ways that make the supernatural appear almost mundane. Gods share so many characteristics with humans that it has been argued that gods were made in the image of man.

God is Provident & Sovereign: God Acting in Human History
Although not usually given much attention, one critical attribute of God for many believers is the idea that God is ‘provident,‘ which means that God acts in some fashion that requires God to become involved with humanity and causes the course of human history to be aligned with God's ultimate desires and purposes.

God is Incorporeal: Mind without Body?
It is commonly taken for granted that, when talking about God, we are discussing a being who has no body and is not in any way constructed from matter or energy - both of which are features of the "created universe" rather than the "uncreated God." This attribute of incorporeality should not be taken for granted, however, because it has important implications for other divine characteristics.

God is Immutable: Why can't God change?
Philosophical theism commonly ascribes to God the attribute of "immutable" - the idea that God cannot and does not change. Whatever God is like now is the way that God was for all of the past and the way God will be for all of the future. It doesn't matter what happens elsewhere, God always and inevitably remains the same. Why do people believe this? Does it make sense to say God cannot change?

It is an misinterpretation to assume atheism includes denying the existence of spirits or ghost beings.
In details, Spirituality is a subject independent from the debate of god.
The debate on this subject is more towards the definition of Supreme Being, its ability and traits, teh relation with human behavior.
My stand is at neutral, my point is not on teh debate, but for what I can learn from both sides.
Physics A exam on 2nd of june...
MISS DEWIKA,
We will not dissapoint you..
Photographs adapted from yew jin's blog at

Here's what we do for the last day of Physics A:
STudy hard for PHYSICS!!!!
HD, Here I come!
A Fórmula de Deus, in English The God's Formula, is the fourth novel written by the Portuguese award-winning journalist and best-selling writer José Rodrigues dos Santos,
published in 2006 in Portugal.
The novel narrates a quest for the scientific proof of the existence of god by a Portuguese professor, Tomás Noronha, based on a formula developed by Einstein himself. The adventure takes place in Iran, Tibet and Portugal, with the involvement of the CIA. The book presents an innovative view about the origins of the universe, based on recent physics theories.
Relativity on time, gravitations, light theories, and energy.
Worth a read after the finals!!
and guess what I found out,
Something about the facts behind Dan Brown's award winning novel " Angels and Demons"
This is on the God's particle.
Such matter does exist under physics terms and its part of the research done enclosed within the CERN.
I scroll through archives and wiki, and found a book called "The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What is the Question?"
This book is a 1993 popular science book by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon M. Lederman and science writer Dick Teresi.
It provides a brief history of particle physics, starting with the Pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Democritus, and continuing through Isaac Newton, Roger J. Boscovich, Michael Faraday, and Ernest Rutherford. This leads in to a discussion of the development of quantum physics in the 20th century. In a nod to the philosophy of atomism, Lederman follows the convention of using the word "atom" to refer to atoms in their modern sense as the smallest unit of any chemical element, and "a-tom" to refer to the actual basic indivisible particles of matter, the quarks and leptons.
It would extract out the description of the particle chapter : The God Particle
This is what called Fundamental Energy
The ignition of two protons, like how it was kept seperately at each end to avoid reaction that causes massive consumption of energy, explosion and creating a vortex.
This Event known as an Accelerator Event
The God Particle
Direct extract from wikipedia:Dr. Lederman begins this chapter by narrating the journey of the neutrino to illustrate the symmetry that the universe must have had at one time.
The neutrino, a particle without mass travels at the speed of light and can have a clockwise or counterclockwise spin.
The neutrino’s direction of spin is forever tied to the “direction of motion”, and this gives it a new property – chirality. This, according to Dr. Lederman is “lovely symmetry.” It is a reflection of the earlier universe where all particles have no mass and exhibit the symmetry that is hidden today, according to what’s known from the QCD, QED, and the Standard Model. It is an earlier universe extrapolated from abstract mathematical theory.
According to Dr. Lederman, the Standard Model mathematically predicts that there exists the Higgs, or something else at this level of discovery. [69]
Recent updated news, after the publication of this book, is that the LHC at CERN will most likely prove the existence of the Higgs field soon after it is up and running. It is scheduled to be back on line in
September 2009.
Surprisingly from the Higgs, not carbon nor hydrogen.
tree-level interactions between elementary particles described in the Standard Model.
Vertices (darkened circles) represent types of particles, and edges (blue arcs) connecting them represent interactions that can take place. The organization of the diagram is as follows:
the top row of vertices (leptons and quarks) are the matter particles;
the second row of vertices (photon, W/Z, gluons) are the force mediating particles;
and the bottom row is the Higgs boson.

Discovery: According to Dr. Lederman, plethora of photons, added to plethora of photons flood the universe, extended into the microwave range; a remnant of the Big Bang, discovered accidentally in 1965 by two Bell Lab scientists. COBE has discerned that
the microwave radiation is from 300,000 years after the Big Bang,
Prior to the big bang all observable matter was overheated and “squeezed into a volume vastly smaller than the head of a pin”. The temperature was unimaginably, baking and broiling; it was a blistering cauldron at 1032 degrees Kelvin. That's one trillion, trillion, billion degrees. Matter as we see with our eyes could not exist. It was too hot. Everything was quarks and leptons boiling around in hot plasma. Then came the expansion and cooling – quarks “began to coagulate into protons, neutrons, and the other hadrons”. Stable nuclei, began to form when protons and neutrons began to combine at around age three minutes, during a period known as Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
After that - according to Dr. Lederman - it took 300, 000 years for the universe to cool enough to allow electrons into the mix, and atoms were produced. Before this atoms were unable to form. In addition, at 300,000 years the photons were freed up and sped outward in all directions, and “that is why we got our microwave photon information [15 billion years] late.” Today outer space is about 2.73 degrees above absolute zero – that is 2.73 degrees Kelvin.
approximately around -270 celcius
low energy level.
Dr. Lederman shows, through the work of other physicists, that cosmological quantum theory must be developed to understand the Universe before 10-33 seconds. In other words, what were the initial conditions, during the time period, from zero seconds (the moment of the big bang) up to 10-33seconds, that led to the “seeds” of galaxies, seen in the microwave field, as measured by the COBE platform, at age 300,000 years? Calculations have shown that there hasn’t been enough time for the universe to have formed and coalesced as we see it today. There must be some initial conditions just at the billionth of a moment before the universe was
created in the big bang. There is speculation about the existence of quantum mechanical (particle) fluctuations just prior to the big bang, which were then “stretched” by an inflation of the universe, to account for an enlargement “commensurate with galaxies”.If it was left in Wiki, no one would go scout for it, so I repost it here. = =
This gives me a conclusion to study the facts behind Dan Brown's arguments. As it is not something made up of, but relatively bonded to physic concepts regarding the exploration of science and time relativeness, and the discovery of the God Particle, (Boson Higgs)
Now I am free from boredom after finals.. keke...
Accounts... damn...
