On Wednesday, 16 May, there were two incidents I encountered… first is the small fire in the office which I posted earlier… the second is a panic situation at a railway crossing… not really panic, just not sure what’s going on…

OK, the small fire in the office was in the morning… and our encounter with a train was in the evening after we had our tea at Kepayan Low Cost Housing Shop.

On our way back to the office after having tea, there was slight traffic jam before the Sebulan roundabout… just after the tunnel. My colleague was driving and I was sitting at the back… another colleague was sitting at the front. Our car has to stop on the rail track coz cars in front of us have to give way to other cars at the roundabout. Suddenly there was loud siren… the sound is familiar on TV… a siren sound of Japanese attacking. We don’t know where the sound coming from… we were guessing if it an ambulance of fire engine… but it just don’t sound like one.

We were looking around… then we saw the rail track light has turned green… oh crap… usually it is red… that means the train is coming… argggghh… my colleague started reversing, lucky the cars behind gave us room to reverse… then I saw the boom gate coming down… if we did not reverse, the bar will hit right on top of the car… lucky we have enough room to reverse… then the train appears… I open the window and started recording the incoming train…

I can’t imagine how the car gonna look like if it still on the track when the train arrived. The car is less than a ton and the train is like 1000 times heavier than the car. Metals will be crumpled… metal bars universal joint will dislodge… Lucky the train was only going at about 30 km/h…

In the video, the yellow-black bar is the boom gate which was right above our car… right above me. The siren is actually coming from the concrete box right next to the car… you can see that in the video too… but we were wondering, the alarm sound is not the standard railway crossing sound… normally it is the sound of bell… TING TING TING TING TING TING… that’s the reason we can’t figure out what the sound was… if it the bell, then we should’ve be able to identify it right away… 😛 But lucky nothing happen to us… 😀

It’s always disappointing whenever I see good videos on youtube and I can’t keep it… coz sometimes you wont be able to find it again… sometimes it gets removed or you forgot the location. Previously, it was easy to download streamed video like videos from youtube… but they keep on updating the way they stream videos making it harder to get a copy of it.

So today I want to share something cool… a cool youtube downloader that you should try… it’s cool… it’s easy to use, reliable, fast… and it’s free… go ahead and try it, but don’t abuse it… 😆

Do you know how difficult it is to download YouTube videos when you need to download it immediately?… It’s bloody irritating… 😛 There is a YouTube video I wanted to download today but unfortunately I don’t have any YouTube download tools installed on my notebook… I do have one before but I’ve uninstalled it long time ago… I can’t really remember why I uninstalled it, but it could be it was a trial version or it was full with advertisement or something like that… 😛

What did I do then?… Well, I called my friend Google and asked him to search the best downloader for YouTube video. A couple of seconds later, he came back and presented me with a bunch of links. I glanced through and pick one… I downloaded and installed it… unfortunately every time I download the YouTube video using the tools, it cut off after 30% or so… You see, the YouTube video I want to download is 57 minutes long… 😛 I need to download this video coz it seems this video is being deleted from YouTube… when I searched for this 57 minutes video last month, I found about 3 of them… and there are many shorter version too. But today, I can’t find any of the 57 minutes… even the shorter versions are so few… There must be some conspiracy to delete this video… they don’t want the public to see it…

Then after sharing one of the shorter version with my friend this evening, I accidentally found the 57 minutes versions… that is why I want to download it before ‘they’ delete this one… Anyways, since the first downloader did not work well, I tried another… and this one is called The Best Video Downloader and it’s working fine so far… in fact it is downloading right now… and it’s already 80% completed… the 57 minutes video is about 240MB… 😛 and the video I’m trying to download is about the Elenin or Nibiru or Brown Dwarf… about the earth quake catastrophe going to occur on 26th September 2011… it said with magnitude 12 to 15 earth quake, the whole Pacific Rim will go… New Zealand will disappear… Japan will disappear… Indonesia will disappear… China will disappear… Korea will disappear… Russia will disappear… West Coast of America will disappear… 😛

Do any parents go and see their son or daughter at the office on their first day at work? And when the parents walks into the office, they enter as if they own the office… what would the kid feels? I’m sure it is bloody embarrassing to the kid…

And what is the parents’ reaction when they found out that their son or daughter is browsing for cheap sale on the internet to do online shopping? And paying for the goods using their parent’s credit card? Well, just hope the kid did not do all that during office hours, else the kid is not only get embarrassed, but probably will get kick out of his or her first job on the first day…

OK, I have not posted anything for almost a week. I was quite busy with work thingy and sometimes not enough sleep but otherwise I’m OK.

Anyway, I always hear this song played at Light & Easy channel while I’m driving for sometimes. I’ve been searching for it but fail since I don’t know what the title is and who the singer is. My colleague even said the singer is a guy… ha ha ha… he is wrong then… OK I found it at last… enjoy it…

Raised up on mid-western dreams
Only a few shall get
What everyone shall need
I took my family’s burden
Strapped it to my chest
A few hundred bucks,
And a kiss for luck
And I pointed my dreams west

In California
I am almost free
In California
I am almost free
(Rescue me)
California
I am almost free

OK, I’m not promoting stealing or robbery here. This video is just so funny to me… I don’t know why, it could be the music and the slow motions. Although some comments said it looks like staged, I don’t think so because there is one part the kid has to stop because the food was pull back a bit. But staged or not staged, it still very funny… enjoy it…

While searching for John Denver’s Thank God I’m a Country Boy in the youtube, I found this one very interesting. Two of the singer did forget their line, but luckily they manage to recover. I think they are to be ‘professional choir singer’ student, which is why they know how to handle the situation. But I’m sure the first guy who forgot his line is very thankful that the next singer after him also forgot his line… Yea, Thank God!

How easy izzit to get hired nowadays?.. well, you just have to be talented and with the technologies nowadays like YouTube, getting hired is not impossible.

Getting a 9 year old boy signed a contract are already sound nuts… it gets crazier if the one who given the contract is none other than the worldwide brand… Manchester United!!!

Rhain Davis’ grandfather sent the Premier League champions a DVD showcasing the boy’s talents which has become a YouTube sensation. His 4 minutes video has already been viewed more than two million times. It shows the boy’s dribbling and goal-scoring prowess for an Under-10 side in Brisbane, Australia.

They boy is really talented… no doubt about it. But I think, his team or coach is relying too much on the boy… making him like controlling the whole game and looks like not playing with his team. But maybe since it is a combination of clips, it looks like that… to play football, you need supoorts & combinations with your other team mate… all the best kid…
