4 Question And 1 Bonus Question.
You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK? Let's find out just how clever you really are.... Ready? GO!!!
Question 1: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
Try not to screw up next time. Now answer the second question, but
don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?
Second Question: I f you overtake the last person, then you are....?
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this, are you?
Third Question: Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20 . Now add another 1000 Now add 10. What is the total?
Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day, is it? Maybe you'll get the last question right.... Maybe.
Fourth Question: Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
Okay, now the bonus round: A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?
He just has to open his mouth and ask... It's really very simple....
Like you! PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!
A Story Of A Blind Girl
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone except her loving fiance which is always be be there for her. This guy loves his fiance so much. When their relationship getting serious day after day, the guy ask his fiance to marry him but then the blind girl said that if she could see the world then she would marry her fiance.
So one day, the hospital told this blind girl that there is someone willing to donate a [pair of eyes to her. This blind girl accept it willingly and happily because she want to see everything in this world including her fiance.
Now that she can see the world, her fiance asked her "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?". The girl was shocked when she saw that her fiance is blind too. Then the blind girl refused it.
Her fiance walked away in tears and later wrote a letter to this girl saying "just take care of my eyes dear".
Moral: This is how human brain changes when their status of life changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.
"You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect persob perfectly".

MIRI: Two eateries in the city were yesterday partially closed following the launch of ‘Ops Patuh 3 (Bersih)’ carried out by Miri City Council (MCC) in collaboration with the Health Department.
The shops are at Mosjaya Commercial Centre and Pelita Commercial Centre.
The unhygienic parts of the shops were closed to the public after they were inspected by the enforcement team.
A total of seven food shops which were warned by MCC before Hari Raya Aidilfitri due to poor hygiene were inspected during yesterday’s operation.
“More than 100 notices were issued prior to the operation and we have given the shop operators time to improve the cleanliness of their premises.
“Today, we are not issuing anymore warnings. The operators should not have any excuse that they were not informed earlier about our operation,” said mayor Lawrence Lai while officiating at the launching ceremony of the operation at MCC multi-storey car park yesterday.
He said the council would not compromise with any food shop operator when it comes to cleanliness because poor hygiene would tarnish the image of the city as adversely affect the peoples’ health.
“We are very serious about this and we will issue compounds to offenders.
“Unhygienic eateries deserve to be fined. There is no bias when carry out our enforcement operations,” he said.
He added that ‘Ops Patuh 3’ focused on back lanes which some irresponsible food shop operators use to illegally ‘expand’ their kitchen.
“The back lanes are for the public. It should not be blocked by food shop operators for their own use.
“This is very bad because at some places the public cannot pass through because the roads behind are blocked,” he said.
Medical officers from the Health Department who took part in the operation also inspected the interior of the premises. Some food shop operators were compounded for using illegal colouring in their food and drinks as well as for poor hygiene.
“We hope the operation would have positive impact on our city. We want all eateries to comply with the law on cleanliness.
“We want to clean up every corner of this city and we will do it without fear and favour,” said Lai.

Call it the Facebook World Tour. Even though Facebook is now the largest social network in the world,—with 132 million unique visitors in June—it is also still the fastest growing.
(At least among the major social networks). According to figures compiled by comScore, Facebook’s visitor growth is up 153 percent on an annual basis. This compares to anemic 3 percent growth for MySpace. Other social networks showing strong global growth include Hi5 (100 percent) and Friendster (50 percent), despite each of those being less than half the size of Facebook. Orkut and Bebo fall in at 41 percent and 32 percent growth, respectively.

12.09.2010 is the date where a the 3rd group of people from KSKB (MA K1/08) are sent out to their attachment at the respective Klinik Kesihatan. My friend and I are sent to KK Roban. It is about 5 hours at regular speed from our College (KSKB Kuching).
The first day we were at this clinic, my friend and i are shocked to see our hostel. There are dogs and cats (a cat just delivered its children when we arrived) at the ground floor. The hostel inside also not that really satisfactory. A lot of dust, garbage and even an animal's dropping also found. We have to work a bit hard to clean up the mess.
Time after time we noticed that there are wireless network with a good connection is around the hostel. I tried personally to connect to that wireless network but failed. It is passworded. So I ask my friend who is previously attached to this clinic to get the password and i am successfully get it. Then i connect to the wireless without the permission of the owner.. Haha.. You know what happen next? My connection were blocked! That time i am downloading something and i don't know that this wireless were fully guarded.. Sorry boss for that and thanks for unblocked us again..
At night, because of the tiring day we just ate Nasi + Telur. Just a simple one which is enough to maintain our energy.
So finally the real attachment begun. Monday morning time to get work! :) This is my first time in this clinic so in the early attachment im just observing, self-orientation only and helping boss to dispense medication to the patients. Couple of hour later, i motivate myself to screen patient. Thank God i have the courage to do that. Seeing a lot of patients motivating me to study more and more.
