I'm going away

It took one whole week for me to write a new post and i still does not get anything to write on my blog. anyways, later next month i will continue on my study so it may took more than a week for a new post. Nah, just kidding. maybe i will think to get a broadband but i still don't know which broadband is better. so next month i will be at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). I was kinda nervous but an curiosity is still on top of my feeling. well UNIMAS is located at Kota Samarahan, Sarawak and it took maybe 9 to 10 hours from my place to go there by car. so wish me luck and i hope it will be a new and nice life i got while i pursue my dream there.

sorry

sorry because didn't post anything for more than couple of days.
tomorrow i will try to post something new.
kinda busy with world cup and driving lesson.
sorry :(

activity of the month (june)

yesterday was a sleepy day so i didn't post anything, so today i gonna post something.YAY! This week and maybe for this month, everyday will be a busy day for me because i will attend driving lesson. I'm driving for the first time so it was kinda hard and i cant control the car well. got a hard time to be familiar with the clutch, brake and the road sign. I should not take this driving lesson lightly because i cant drive. It was kinda embarrassing because a girl before me could drive the car very well and i cant. so the first day was a bit awkward but it still nice because i got a chance to drive. Well I don't need to be ashamed because it was my first time. Then, until today I still dint learn how to park a car and maybe tomorrow I will learn it. I hope I can do it! That the spirit! LOL!
Still need to encourage myself. Wish me luck and thanks for reading this post and don't be shy to leave some comment.

Ferris Wheel

i never ride a Ferris wheel before but would like to ride it someday.

The Ferris Wheel was introduced to the world at the World's Colombian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. It was built to rival the Paris creation of the Eiffel Tower, a landmark exhibition in 1889 in France

. It is interesting to note that the first Ferris Wheel was built by bridge-maker George Ferris. His knowledge of struts, beams and supports, as well as a skilled mastery of foundation and balance of larger constructions made him the man for the job.

Ferris conceived the idea of the Wheel by looking the a structure of the Merry-go-Round. A popular part of the carnival, it seemed to generate large revenue, with a relatively simple structure. In response to the Eiffel Tower, Ferris knew that his invention had to be very large. Ferris concluded that a vertical wheel would make the same splash as a horizontal one, and he set about drawing up plans for a wheel that would make every wheel known to man look small.

The Ferris Wheel cost $380,000.00 to make and stood at 264 feet. After its execution, however, it grossed twice as much in ride sales, making it a very profitable member of the exhibition. The diameter of the wheel was 250 feet, making it the largest known wheel in American at the time. It also contained an axle of 45 feet, which was unheard of. The Ferris Wheel was powered by 2,000 engine worth of horsepower, and it contained 36 wooden cars that were suspended by iron clamps to the structure of the Wheel and axle. It held 2160 passengers and stopped on every second revolution to let a new group of people in its cars.It was built by the Detroit Bridge and Iron works, and it ran at .50 a ride. It was transferred to St. Louis for another Exposition in 1904, and after that, the world's first Ferris Wheel was taken down and sold to various metal dealers.

Stories of the Chicago unveiling of the Wheel are sweet and tinged with nostalgia. Many reporters were present for the first execution of the wheel, to see George Ferris and his wife christening their creation. A company of reporters and the inventor entered the cars at 6:30 on June 16th, the date of the first unveiling. Dressed in ball gowns and carrying champagne and cigars, they toasted each revolution of the car and gave several rounds of applause for the inventor. Ferris himself made a quiet speech, then sat in the car with his wife for about five revolutions.

Ferris wheel are still very popular today. In fact, a carnival is not considered a carnival without the Ferris Wheel. Because this invention was an American contribution to the World's Fair, it has become a staple of the fairground. The wheel that exist today are model replicas of the original Ferris Wheel.

here are some fact on Ferris wheel:

the tallest Ferris wheel nowadays is Singapore Flyer located at Singapore with height of 165m (541 ft).

the second highest Ferris wheel is Star of Nanchang located at Nanchang, China with height of 160m (525 ft).

The Pursuit of Happiness

In 1981, in San Francisco, the smart salesman and family man Chris Gardner invests the family savings in Osteo National bone-density scanners, an apparatus twice as expensive as an x-ray machine but with a slightly clearer image. This white elephant financially breaks the family, bringing troubles to his relationship with his wife Linda, who leaves him and moves to New York where she has taken a job in a pizza parlor. Their son Christopher stays with Chris because he and his wife both know that he will be able to take better care of him.

Without money or a wife, but committed to his son, Chris sees a chance to fight for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter, offering a more promising career at the end of a six-month unpaid training period. During that period, Chris goes through a lot of hardship personally and professionally. When he thinks he is "stable," he finds that he has lost $600 when the government takes the last bit of money in his bank account for taxes. He is rendered homeless because he can't pay his rent. He is forced at one point to stay in a bathroom at a train station, and must scramble from work every day to the Glide Memorial United Methodist Church, which offers shelter to the homeless. He must leave work every day so that he is there by 5 in the evening along with his son so to be assured of a place to sleep. He is seen carrying his suitcase to work because he doesn't have a home. At work, there are nineteen other candidates for the one position.

One day, he is called into an office and in it were the heads of Dean Witter. They tell him that he has been an excellent trainee and that tomorrow will be his first day as a broker. Chris struggles to hold back tears. Outside he begins to cry as the busy people of San Francisco walk past him. He rushes to his son's daycare, hugging him and knowing that everything is going to be all right.

The final scene shows Chris walking with his son down a street. His son is telling him a joke, when a man in a suit walks past. Chris looks back as the man continues on. The man in the suit is none other than the real Chris Gardner.

Will Smith with the real Chris Gardner.
