Freeze, you have been scammed

Almost everyday, all my email accounts are littered with emails from scammers wanting to give a few millions Dollar to me for save keeping. The latest was a Desmond Tucker from Liberia, claiming to have $21.5m in a vaults of a classified International Security company in Monrovia (Where on earth is that?).

The email written by “scammer” Des
As I had received his email in all my 4 email account on the same day,I decided to write him back, to show appreciation of his enthusiasm:-
Dear Des,
It is a pleasure knowing that you trust me with $21.5m. Why don’t you drop the money at my door step tomorrow morning? I promise that I will sleep on it every night. Until then, may God bless your kind heart.
Yours sincerely,
Frank
Now just when I thought that I had to be the dumbest person in the world to ask a scammer to do that, I saw the story of “scambaiter” Mike from UK.
Mike received a random email from a man claiming to be Prince Joe Ebon, chairman of a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Eboh said he needed to get money out of Nigeria and was offering to transfer $US25 million to Mike’s account if he would send his bank details. Mike was promised $6.25 million if he helped.
Mike sent an email back, calling himself Father Hector and saying he would love to help but he could only have business dealings with members of his religious order, the Holy Church of the Order of the Red Breast. Eboh said, of course, he would convert. Mike sent him details on how to paint a red circle over his breast to join. Eboh duly sent Mike a picture of himself with painted breast and signed a membership form vowing not to covet his neighbour’s ass, to never listen to hip-hop and to honour the words of church guru Shiver Metimbers. Eboh pleaded for $18,000 to register the church in Nigeria so he could transfer the $25 million. Mike hit back, saying that under church rules he had to pay a clearance fee of $80 before he could withdraw $18,000. As a monk he had no money and asked Eboh for it.
Surprisingly, Eboh sent Mike the money by courier, which cost him $49.Eboh was down $129. He then got a message from church elder Father Mike Myers saying Father Hector had run off with $18,000 in church Funds. Father Hector sent a last email telling Eboh he had lost the money investing in a business exporting snow to Siberia and run off to join a circus.
NOTE: The story of “scam baiter” Mike was published in Melbourne Age and Sydney Morning Herald

Translation

Always acting so greedy, your soul will wither
She only uses difficult words, I can’t become good friends with her
I crash into an opposing wind and start bawling my eyes out
In the morning I forget it all, “Aaah…”
Let’s lighten our heads
Until we can ride up in the fluffy clouds
My walking path in spring has a coronet of yellow flowers
My walking path in summer is covered with a march of cicadas
More important than anything else, let’s join hands in the softly blowing wind
It feels just a little bit nice, and we notice it’s already twilight
Without noticing, relaxed, our pattern of happiness gradually changes
My sky has grown far wider than I ever thought it would
My walking path in autumn plays a melody rustling through fallen leaves
My walking path in winter projects an icicle moon on water
More important than anyone else, let’s join hands in the softly blowing wind
It feels even nicer than before, let’s laugh with faces that haven’t seen a thing
On my walking path in rain, we make a sidelong glance at the soaking wet bench
On my walking path in sunshine our shadows stretch out long
More important than anyone else, let’s join hands and proudly look before
We continue along our path without using the map we made
More important than anything else, let’s join hands in the softly blowing wind
It feels just a little bit nice, and we notice it’s already twilight

Anyway, while enjoying the last of my holidays, I watched this Korean film by the name Taegukgi – The Brotherhood of War. Oh my god, it was so good. It’s better than Shaving Ryan’s Privates anytime. I mean Saving Private Ryan.

SYNOPSIS
After independence, Korea is full of hope for a better future. Family of Jin-tae is none different. Jin-tae lives with his mother, younger brother Jin-seok, and fiancé Young-shin. His mother and Young-shin runs a noodle shop in a market and he shines shoes to send Jin-seok to university.
Although the living isn’t easy, they are working hard for their better future. Yet, the Korean War breaks out and Jin-tae and Jin-seok get drafted and are located at the battlefront immediately. With bullets flying and bombs going off a few inches away, Jin-tae realizes that he has to keep his brother alive and send him back home safe even if he hurts himself. Believing so, he learns that earning a Medal of Honor may send Jin-seok home, and now Jin-tae begins volunteering for dangerous missions.
Yet, Jin-seok is always uncertain about Jin-tae’s motivation. Midst of war, U.N. troops join the war and the war seems to end soon. Somehow, Jin-tae succeeds in many missions and ends up getting a Medal of Honor. By then, Jin-tae has driven war crazy with such hatred for North Koreans and Jin-seok refused to go home. Their tension grows between two and there is sudden attack of Chinese Army. With Chinese Army coming down ruthlessly two brothers get separated and Jin-tae believes that Jin-seok is killed during the battle.
Jin-tae is now running mad. Yet nobody can bring the dead brother back. It is here in this ruined country that these two beloved brothers are plunged into an unexpected turning moment of their fate. — Official Site

god damn blogging script

Hello people,
Sorry for the non-updates, I cant seem to get my movable type script working after transfering it to a new server. I cant login to my script or even post comments on my posts.
I’ve read the troubleshooting manual but it doesnt seem to work. I dont know how to reinstall MT with my old archives in it! Anyone has any idea? 😀 email me!
Anyway, a little update about myself.
I was called for an interview with one of the prestigious law firms in Kuala Lumpur.
I hate interviews. I hate the awkwardness feeling and questions such as, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?”.
If I had the choice, I would say….
“Sitting on your chair most likely”
“The boss of this company”
Well, I was brought to an empty room with a table and 4 chairs. I was left alone for more than 30 minutes to fill up my application form. I got so bored till i started snapping pictures of the room.



Few minutes later, my interviewer came. He’s one of the partners of the firm. Let’s call him Mr. G.
The interview went well until he asked me, “So what is the latest you heard about this firm?”. I was shocked. I was totally unprepared for that question. I knew I had to answer that question. If I fail, I wouldn’t get the job. If I did, my future is secured. It was a matter of life and death!
With zero knowledge about what large cases the firm has handled, I said, “Well…..my friend Daniel updates me with the latest happening of the firm. But lately, I haven’t spoke to him…”. Mr. G then said, “Which Daniel?”
From there, my strategy worked! I immediately diverted the conversation and managed to avoid that question. He never asked me anything about the firm again. *phew* or the question “where do you see yourself in 5 years time”.
Mr. G commented that he is very satisfied with me. I got a call from the firm 2 days later 😀
I’m starting work on the 1st of December!
