Occam's Razor


OMG the movie quarantine, almost every scene in that movie scared the shit out of me...
YOU HAVE TO FUCKING WATCH IT.
yeah. and that's jennifer carpenter. shes hot as her name sounds.
the show is about a reporter and a cameramen shooting a documentary series called Night Watch (a show about occupations at night). so that night, they were introducing firefighters at work. then the department received emergency call, they followed them to an apartment, weird shit happens and then next thing they know was SWAT teams was taping the whole building and placed garrisons, assault tanks and barrier around the compound. the crew, firefighters and the residents and were told they were being quarantined. also, they were stuck in the apartment with people being infected with some mutant rabies. very credible.

but omg.. theres this one part when they entered a unlit room of an apartment to find a missing child. only to find out that the old lady they shot dead earlier was missing from the floor.
they searched the room to find that kid. until they found her standing by a curtain staring at them.
suddenly came out of nowhere, the dead old lady attacks them. holy shit, after that scene, my left nut almost permanently went to the right scrotum socket, and my right nut in the left socket. it is that fucking scary.
then there is also one cool part where they drill the skull for brain samples. the guy was screwing the guy's head. some serious mindfuck. huhuh...
its a remake from the Spanish show .REC but indeed, its unlike other western remakes which sucked balls such as The Ring, Grudge and Shutter.
Trivia: this show has no soundtrack nor any kind of sound effects used during the show. how cool is that?! they managed to scare the shit out of you without any of those dum-dum-dum heartbeat sound effect shit usually heard on thriller scenes.

its one of the scariest show I've watched so far and apparently, it managed to push away the horror flick Shutter(the original Thai version not the other one that sucked balls) from my #1 of scariest show ever which has been rock solid for the recent years.
either that or im just plain pussy.

what im trying to say is, just watch the fucking show dammit.. i don't mind watching it again.
if you have a friend that insist on watching that gay dog movie, Bolt, tell them to simply fuck that, watch Quarantine, debate everyone into watching that show. its the shit.

somehow, i just fail to understand the big deal about Twilight.

i was studying maths for the fun of fun, partly because i had too much leisuretime (nights, facebook, xbox, car mags, tv, sleep, outing, sleep) so i went to wiki to make up for those unproductive times. i learned about Bayes law!! its so cool.

fuck monty hall, i came up with my own probability example.

here's a test of your ability to assess evidence:

You've just had an HIV test. The bad news is that according to the test, you're infected. The good news is that the test is wrong 5 percent of the time. So theres a 5 percent chance you're okay, right??

Wrong. There's more like an 84% chance your gonna be okay.
Here's why: most people - say 99% of your demographic group- are uninfected. So you're probably uninfected too. Even though the test is wrong only 5% of the time, odds are, this are one of those times.

Why 84%? In a population of 100,000 people, we assume that just 1%- that is 1000 people are infected.
Of the 1000 people infected, 95% gets accurate (and grim) results.
Of the 99,000 who are healthy, 5%, or 4950 peoples, get inaccurate results that say, they are infected.
That makes, 950 + 4950 = 5900 people who got bad news, and of those 5,900, only 950, or 16% are actually infected.
The other 84% are fine

Its all a matter of weighing the evidence. The test result is evidence you're infected. But the fact that most people is healthy is the evidence that you're healthy. Both bits of evidence are relevant, and it would be wrong to ignore both of them.


I was wondering if i should make my blog smarter now. instead of a mindless rantbox,

Its the season to be giving. amid recession such shit is hard to deal with,
im a big believer of good things are meant to be shared. so if i learned a super cool fatally wicked kungfu move, i'd teach my friends. ill share good things unless its something exclusively for me only like say, a secret.

I went to Cathay the other time, they have Ben and Jerry's free ice cream giveaways. like the line is sooo short like say 6-7 peoples only. unlike the other time when the line was spiralling round the mall for 2 levels.
yeah, actually overheard one guy saying: you see, you see, typical singaporeans...
fuck you, its the recession. lets see you saying that next year.
besides if theres anything wrong with it, why bother.

Starbucks gave away free tall coffees.
