Was it because of the plenty of free time he has at home doing nothing besides going online everyday...or because he is so into fashion that he thinks engineering should only come second...or because he is so mesmerized with the awesome specs on his new laptop that he couldn't get enough of them and would write lengthy post just to explore everything..or he doesn't want his blog to be focusing on just certain themes like college life, shopping, food and music but instead being an all-rounder blog, able to enlighten readers on any topics without any boundaries...Or he just being so humbly wants to share the knowledge that he has gained from reading a newspaper(Malaysian Today) article entitled "In the Name of Style".I think its a lil bit of this...a lil bit of that kind of thing.Humma2.

1. Human brain is made up of compartments (comp) receiving different kind of info discipline in separate comp. In feed of contents into different comp. need to acquire some balance. Then emotions will be very stable. Respond to incoming info will be more efficient. Thus response to productivity (out put) will be greater and clearer. So enthusiasm in malty areas of disciplines is a very good practice while time is idle. Keep it up.
2. Fashen and style of dresses people ware shows their character and thought. That may be the end stage you may like to extend your study in this area you have explored. So your journey doesn't end at glamor kingdom only: but still humanity to be understood. Love for glamor and leisure as a culture is a sign of destruction of a society as pictured in the Quraan. Social science name it hedonism culture.
My regards to your parents. Congratulations for successfully bringing up a child like you.
You are going to be a very prolific Ir.

Hi man
It is my first time here. I just wanted to say hi!
hallo anonymous
Hi, Is there anybody here?.
I love www.blogger.com because I learned a lot here. Now it's time for me to pay back.
Why I post this guide on this of www.blogger.com is to help people solve the same problem.
Please let me know if it is unacceptable here.
Here is the guide, wish it would help you.
How Do I Rip a Protected DVD to my PSP?
By no means am I encouraging people to pirate movies, but I do believe if you own the movie already, then you are free to view the movie the way you chose, whether you want to view it on your iPhone/iPod, PSP, or simply on your computer, then you should have the right to do so. I get so irritated when I buy a DVD and I can't put it on my PSP, so my only option is to buy the movie again for my PSP.
Xilisoft's DVD Ripper gives me the freedom to convert a protected DVD to play on pretty much any multimedia device; it can even copy the ISO image to duplicate the DVD.
This type of software is somewhat controversial because there is no doubt people are using it for piracy purposes. This is just inevitable though, just look at music CDs and how easy it is to rip and copy CDs.
I like to use this software to put movies and clips of movies on my PSP and iPhone. Being able to convert selected segments is extremely useful, because most of the time, there's just that one really funny part which I want to put on my PSP to watch when I get stuck in a traffic jam.
There are so many different movie formats these days that I can hardly keep track. I need a format for my PSP, then a different format for the iPod, then a different one for Xbox, and the list just goes on and on. This is why there's such a huge demand for video converters, to solve the format dilemma! So now, no matter what format I have, I can turn it into any other format. There lots of other useful features in the DVD ripper such as if you have a live concert DVD, you can extract just the music from the DVD to be played you iPod.
Like I said before, I am completely against piracy, but if I bought a movie, I should be able to enjoy it by whichever medium I choose. Xilisoft's DVD Ripper helps make that happen.
