Look like I'm not the only one who freaks out.

Okay, so the question is, why are people reacting like this? WTF happened?

Apparently, there were many people in a city called Orange in Australia tweeted a lot of pictures of snow.


That red little pointer right there is where the city of Orange located at. It's 254km from Sydney. With a mean minimum temperature of 6.2°C, the locals rarely see snowfall like what happened recently.


It's not as strange as snow in Malaysia, but they called it an Antarctic Vortex, because Australia is near Antarctica.
The news has reported that there is thundersnow, literally thunder with snow.



Here's a video of The White House explained on Polar Vortex by the experts, it's still very hard to explain due to the tremendous amount of arguments. (Link)

That explains it. What if it happens in Malaysia?
Instead of complaining that this country is too hot, we will complain about why is it too cold.

In order for Malaysia to snow, there are a few ways that could make it happen. First, people will need to build up some artificial mountains or the whole land just suddenly starts to rise ten thousand feet above ground.
If that doesn't help, the other thing that could make Malaysia snow is when most ice caps melt, and the ocean will be low in salt content which makes the freezing point lower, and this would probably freeze the water itself into ice, and ice reflects sunlight which cools down the earth. Perhaps it's more of a fact than fiction, but there's one thing about Malaysia, it's a country near equator.

Recently, this picture appears on my Facebook feed, it's a Chinese article on a community website. (Link)

I did not take the test, because:
- There are too many words
- All the words are positive
- Some words from other options can be applied to me
- I type like all four

It depends on whether we want to believe or not. Over the years, people experience things and changes their personality, even the slightest changes counts. Basically, I have no opinion on how people choose to interpret with the picture. But I have a question about that particular quiz:

What if, I'm all four?

How you choose one of it is depends on your current mood, believe me or not, you are more than 2 of those. Let me show you,

A. One Hand, Thumb Typing



Other valid examples: Someone needs your help, your cat died, your car is blocking someone else's car, etc.

Another more valid example: You're taking out the trash, you're carrying shopping bags, you're working out in the gym.

B. One holding phone, another thumb typing



That time when someone asks you to hold their bag, but you are busy texting, and you fear that your phone would drop to the ground because your hands are too slippery.

C. Both thumbs typing

This kind of typing is very common for users with large phones, including me. Even if you have an iPhone 5S, you could be one. I have a 5.5 inch phone and if I wanted to type fast or type with Malaysian words like 'lah' and 'meh', I need both thumbs on my screen. I personally don't prefer custom keyboard, because Google Keyboard is good enough.

Times when I type like this:
- Sitting
- Standing
- Laying down
- Boring
- Almost every time

D. One holding phone, another one finger typing

Finally, the last type of typing that classified in the quiz, how many people type like that?

If there's a can, there's a do.

It's rare to see people who hold it like that, and I'm one of the people. So if you want me to state an example, I can state out two.

One of the examples is when my grandparents want me to teach them how to add send an email on their phone.

There are some point in life that you ask life, what if something went extinct? Will humans cease to exist? Fear not, because in this article, there are quite lot of stuffs that could went extinct but got "solved" by new technology by humans.

2. Vehicle Fuel
One thing that scientist and humans was most worried about in the beginning of this century is "what will happen if we ran out of petroleum?"







BONUS: They are rated as the safest cars with a rating of 5/5 stars EURO NCAP rating. On July 2014, someone stole the Model S and drive about 160km/h, he became the first who died in an electric car. But surprisingly, no explosions were occurred in the accident. Source: Link

Airplane Fuel
50million kilograms of airplane fuel were used by British Airways, this sounds normal, but what isn't normal is that all of those fuel come from converted waste. There isn't much to talk about, but here's a video about it. (Too much video huh?)

3. Food (Soylent, Indoor Farming)
About this topic, we need permissions to write about it, becuase it's a product. Perhaps if you have time, you could watch a man surviving on ONLY Soylent for 30 days, no meat or cholesterol. The video quality is professional, so it is worth watching: THIS LINK
4. Human Life (Under Researching)
People, no matter how rich or poor, how good or bad, life's going to end you, and no one could avoid it. But that's not what Arthur D. Levinson thought, he is one of the chairman of Apple Inc. since 2011 and he founded a company called Calico together with Google. Google's founder Larry Page, called the company that research on "health, wellbeeing and longevity, which directly means to extend human life.

Google have a division in their company called Project X, which is linked below. From self-driving cars, to Google Glass. Project Calico is believed to be one of these projects.



Sadly, the whole project is still under researching by the company, but we still consider it a fact. Who knows what's going to happen next?

Apologies for that many links, explaining things literally means copy and paste

As a university students, having to rent the cheapest house is the toughest job in the world, because the first enemy is distance. But renting a house far from campus is cheaper compared to a 900 ringgit room. So apparently I rented a terrace 15 minutes walk to my campus with my housemates, it wasn't that bad after all, and it's spacious. But let us do an experiment and observe how far is far.


Purpose of experiment: How far is Far?
Hypothesis: Campus is not Far/Near.
Time Taken to edit: 2 Hours
Editing program: Microsoft Paint
Editing aparatus: Mouse and Keyboard, and Pizza (Hungry, no choice)

The Experiment,

Subject A is you, or if you're too shy, Subject A is XiaoMing, and his friend Ali.

Here's the full explanation:

  





Conclusion:
There is no actual distance for far, but the term "far" is used in a sentence when a person does not want to waste too much energy on reaching the destination.
