Emo-ness? Sad? How do you feel? I’m feeling great! or not. Who cares. But the things is that there’s this site that dedicated in collection of all emotion in the websphere. namely through all the blog.

We Feel Fine

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 – 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like: do Europeans feel sad more often than Americans? Do women feel fat more often than men? Does rainy weather affect how we feel? What are the most representative feelings of female New Yorkers in their 20s? What do people feel right now in Baghdad? What were people feeling on Valentine’s Day? Which are the happiest cities in the world? The saddest? And so on.

Scary or not?

But I stumbled upon one thing I think I must share out loud. Singapore!!! yeap. Singapore!!! Why?? Because it is the saddest city among all. Hahaha.. dun belief it? believe it.

Poor Singapore!!!

According to Wikipedia,

In physical geography, a dale is an open valley. The name occurs particularly frequently in the Lowlands of Scotland and in the North of England, where the term “fell” commonly refers to the mountains or hills that flank the dale.

The word dale comes from Old English dael, and is related to Old Norse dalr (and modern Icelandic dalur), which may perhaps have influenced its survival in northern England.^[1] Dale is equivalent to the word valley, which entered the English language after the Norman Conquest. Semantic equivalency to German Tal, Dutch dal, Norwegian (na) dal and Polish (na) dole suggest common Indo-European affinity. Norwegian towns frequently use this term: dalekvam, dale.

So last night, I met with new friends and they asked me, why Dale. Why the name Dale? Is it inspired by the cartoon, Chip N’ Dale? I told them partly. Because Dale is so kiut… *ahem. It was also said that Dale wasn’t a very popular name in Malaysia. Not in US though. That’s because of the legendary stock car driver, Dale Earnhardt. Speaking about stock cars, let me side track abit. It just really reminds me of an oldies. “Tell Laura I Love Her”. It was a good song whereby the lover die in a stock car race.

However, my decision to stick with the name Dale was because of a book I read. It was a good book that influenced me after all, Dale Carnegie was the author. That was one of my favourite book of all time. “How to Win Friends and Influence People” One of the best sellers of all time, after the Bible of course. :p

Last but not least, my friends like Wingz, Huei and LinPeh start to call me “Ah Dale/Ah Del/Ah Diu/Diu” So innocent lar me…. now I really Ma Foo Lat

Anyway, here is it. My English name.

Tonight, I stirred up my mom emo-ness again. Not knowing what to do and what can be done, I sms-ed ‘her’ for advise. Yet, she didn’t reply me. Perhaps avoiding me once and for all. I don’t know but I can’t blame her though. Life got to move on.

My mom was pissed off that knowing what is happening to my sister when I updated her on the conversation between my cousin sister and me. Actually, my sister took a drastic step to resign from her current job, and relocate to Bukit Mertajam. I knew why she wanted to do so and can truly understand her situation. In fact, I also thinking of relocating back to Penang. Which at the end, my mom just getting pissed off.

All these while, my sister and my mom aren’t in good term. Right now, she just grumbling in front of me. I told her that i just talked to my cousin sister and not my sister. In fact, I don’t feel like talking to my sister at the moment. She just way beyond her normal self. She’s just working her mind in a different way. Introvert I would categorize her as.

You see. My mom was pissed off at my sister taking her step to move to Bukit Mertajam despite her objection. Now knowing that my sister doesn’t have decent job yet over there, she been screaming at me for my sister’s actions. Moreover, she keep complaining that why my sister can’t get a job here in KL?

The fact is that each family have their own issues to deal with. As for me, I am sitting in between the mother and daughter. I don’t know what happened back then but they never seems in a good terms. My mom further added that she will disown my sister if she is intended of not coming back to KL. *sigh* I think I have further upset her by saying I thinking of relocating to Penang. She added what can you do in Penang? You can’t earn as much as making a living in KL. Hehe… to me, because ‘she’ was in Penang. That’s why. (Bryan, nope. I did not mean EY)

Or I was also telling my mom that I felt like going away from Malaysia. Leaving this country for a while. To let the things cool off a bit. Nothing serious. Just chit chatting. Maybe she took it so seriously. But indeed, she is the only concern I had. I mean there’s no one else to take care of her besides me. My dad passed away early. My sister and her… you know… so, I have to take up the filial son’s job. Being here for her.

I always know what my mom wanted in life. But yet again, I’ve tried and that’s not the thing I really wanted. My needs and hers are different. As a son, I think I am comply to meet her needs. Sometimes, I do envy of TNS for he had the guts to go against his mom especially when it comes to certain issues. I wanted to but I know if I did, there’s no backup or fallback plan unlike last time, which was my dad.

Sigh* life some times is like that.
