While going through the daily threads of news around the world and his weekly reads. Serge read an article about a material made by man that is darker than black. The material, a thin coating comprised of low-density arrays of loosely vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes, absorbs more than 99.9 percent of light and one day could be used to boost the effectiveness and efficiency of solar energy conversion, infrared sensors, and other devices. This material was made by the researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rice University.

Apart from this achievement, they have applied for a Guinness World Record for their efforts. Shawn-Yu Lin, professor of physics at Rensselaer and a member of the university’s Future Chips Constellation, who led the research project; stated that

Shining Dawn is Aurum(Au) in Latin which is the chemical symbol for Gold. This highly sought material has caused many great expeditions to begin and deaths of those who undertakes this is never far behind.

Now in this day and age, death by gold hunting is rare. This year at Beijing, the Olympic Games will be held with over 300 event in 28 sports. As the world prepares for THE Game, one wonders about what the Malaysian government is thinking.

Take out The Star newspaper and flip to page 72. You should see the words Up rewards. For Serge’s international viewer who has just can’t get the newspaper, do go to this link :

Lost In Light

Again, we have to say that the world is just turning and not giving a damn about anything. The trillions of people inhabiting this planet is nothing but sand on the beach. So too is this person, right here and right now writing an entry that is just nothing more but a thought of things yet to happen.

Risk is a game of catch-22, damn if he did and damn if he didn’t. 40 days and nights without a source of income. Many interviews had been held and yet no reply from them. Was his step over the edge a step that has sent him into the glacial death ? Or was this step that has not revealed its true self ?

Amor Platonicus

Platonic Love. Sometimes he wonder if the feeling that he has for that person is just that. The a love of not the physical aspect but of the soul and who she is. The surface is nothing more and nothing less of a vesseld, yet we just don’t feel that it is. A rather weird thing really, as he has had and still has the hots for that person from that moment of time until now and the person according to the heart of Serge, has no idea at all about his feelings about her.

Fair Weatherbee

this heatwave is killing Serge. Hot really hot. Been awoken by heat is never a pleasant thing. This means he does not have enough insulation to trap cool air in him. Not nice at all.

so what do we do now ? nothing much really, he is quite awake.

This day will mark one month and too close to the second month of Serge not having a job and being a useless bum at home. Been jumping the ship too often that it leaves a bruised ankle. Bruised to a point that if he fears of getting another job in fear of fuckking it over again.

Sheep among the wolves

sheep-among-the-wolves

Being at that event felt weird. Too many new faces, very young faces. Did not see the old generations, only one Serge recognized was Albert, Shaz, Suanie and KY, the old and gold bloggers. The others were names such as Doink, Quaintly and some other “famous” blogger.

Serge was like a sheep among the wolves, most the new people started out somewhere in 2005 onwards. As for him, he started in 2002 so that is 6 years of blogging. Being prideful, it feels good to have a stable fan base who keeps being anonymous and never leaves a comment. But what are we to do ? *shakes fist*, though the sad part of it all is the fact that 90% of the fan base is not from Malaysia.
