First was Christian New Year!
Second was Chinese New Year!
Third is now Iranian New Year! Yes….It is called Nowrooz.
You may not know that Iranian people are used to visit most of their family members during new year holidays. They go from home to home to visit friends and families. morning to night. Sometimes it is funny. You meet some people again and again in different places as they do the same as you do. You may not see many of them even once till next new year. At least new year is a good excuse to visit your family as you would have been busy working all around the year.
Iranian believe that Nowrooz is the main stream of connection, love, unity and support!
Nowrooz has been there for more than 10,000 years as a tradition in old Persia.
Say happy new year to your Iranian Friends.
Don’t forget that Nowrooz is started from 20th of March

Photography is a great art to save the daffy moments of our life.
And as you know Flickr is a great repository of the photos. It’s like you put some moments of the history in a prison so they can’t escape from being memorized.
And I want to introduce you a great tool for retrieving these amazing photos. Flishr is the best tool that I’ve found for searching and downloading numerous number of photos in Flickr. You should just give a date or tag or the photographer’s name and that’s all. Leave the remaining to Flishr to do it for you.
Now just get ready to laugh at our daffy life. Bellow you can see a part of the search result for “laugh” tag in Flishr.
Last year, I decided to fly to Willington, a nice city in New Zealand. I realized that I need to apply for Visa so I went to New Zealand Embassy . The Visa officer asked me to fill out the visa application form! I got the form and sat behind the desk to do it fast in a few minutes..but it was not a few minutes..it was like 2 hours. Yes! 2 hours for filling forms. Application was like a booklet! A booklet about your life history! I really don’t know why some of the countries in the world are that much sensetive to foreigners ! Hundreds years back, British people immigrated to NZ and they were foriegners in New Zealand but local people didn’t ask them to fill up big questionnaires to let them come inside but british people jumped inside and made it a colony! ..Reading some of those questions would trigger you to judge how ridiculous we can act when we say hello to our guests when they wish to visit our country!
Questions:
1- What is your name, father name, mother name, sister name, your sister’s husband name, your son, your wife, your daughter, your brother, your WHOLE famiy names !! (I propose to ask applicants to draw their Family tree till 6 level down)
2- Have you ever been in a war? if yes, which war? how many people did you kill in the war? have you gone to court because of killing people? if yes, what was the result for that court? Are you planning to kill someone in future? Do you want to go to war again in future? which wars do you expect to go? (Believe me..you will see such questions!)
3- Are you bringing food to New Zealand? What foods? why do you bring foods? Are your foods dangerous to animals? Can you avoid bringing foods to NZ? Do you know that if you don’t declare your foods upon arrival at NZ Airports, the fine would be like 65000$ NZ?
4- Please write two pages about your plans to visit places in New Zealand..You should mention where you go, when you do what, who you visit, why you visit, how long you stay in each stop, which hotels you go, which flights you fly or which train you catch ! (Tell us exactly when you go to toilet! they have forgotten to put this question !)
….. Please add more questions in COMMENTS! Thanks for reading.
Isn’t it ridiculous! Or is it fun?
I was reading the weekly newspaper of NTU called “The Nanyang Chronicle“, when a report caught my eye: Underwear thief caught red-handed at Hall 10 .
The report says:
Lee Wing Foon, 39, who obtained both his degree and doctorate from the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering (EEE), has been charged with theft and fraudulent possession of bras, panties and other clothing.
Last Monday, the associate professor of a university in China was charged with swiping three bras and three pairs of underwear from Hall 10, in addition to earlier charges of stealing two bras and a pair of panties from NTU.
According to an email sent out by the Hall 10 office to its residents, police found six bags of undergarments and clothes in Lee’s possession.
He has been found to have a collection of 117 panties, 304 bras and 123 other pieces of clothing.
Lee, who was apparently back in Singapore visiting a friend, was detained by Hall 10 security after being spotted loitering suspiciously on the evening of December 20th last year. He was later found to have female undergarments on him.
The identity of the suspect comes as a surprise to residents, who did not expect a person of such high standing to be behind the crimes.
“I am shocked. His behavior doesn’t match his profile,” said a Hall 10 resident, one of Lee’s victims who did not wish to be named.
If you like to read more, you can find the report from Channel News Asia on this forum board.
There are good universities in Singapore. And there are good Students in China. And always, when there are good people and there is a good place to study, the scholarship appears.
There are different kinds of scholarships for Singapore Universities. One of them is provided by A* Star organization which has bounds. A Chinese student who uses this scholarship to get bachelor degree in Singapore, has to stay in Singapore for 6 years after his graduation. He can spend a few year of that for post graduate studies and work for the remaining years. The only way to escape from this bound is to become a Singapore citizen.
So the students become a Singaporean in order to be able to leave Singapore!!!!
I’m not an expert in biology and genetic!! But as I have seen in my life, usually the smart parents have smart children too. This could be a result of the parents’ gene or their training method. But a bigger problem is that usually the more intelligent and rich the parents are, the fewer children they have!!!! And on the other hand, usually families with less education and lower intelligence and lower capital have more children!!!
So, why we don’t force the genius to make more human beings? Maybe we should have a law to ask genius people to bring more brains to our world and ask the rich people to support the new genius babies and ask the useless people to stop the human creation, then maybe could make a better world for every one, and live happily ever after???!!!
Too idealistic, yah?
I have been exploring the web to find a solution for solving Persian (Farsi) posts in WordPress. Mostly all those users who are installing WordPress through Fantastico, have this Problem: When they write and SAVE (or Post) they see that Farsi characters are changed to ?????. The Solution relies on Charset Settings in Collation Column in WordPress database. Most of Forums are simply proposing you not to use Fantastico to install WordPress. It is ridiculous! Don’t you know the solution! so you guide people to reinstall the WordPress! Always try to find the bugs and help people to remove them instead of asking them to reinstall. Here the solution comes in Persian
