flies are stupid..but interesting..

stumped upon this article at lifehacker (one of the sites other than facebook and blogs that i still go to everyday), about something that i've been wondering since quite long ago. i thought it was a myth, and i wonder why people are so stupid to follow it, till i hear the scientific explanation for: HANGING WATERBAGS! (or even ones on the tables)

houseflies, being highly edible and defenseless, are nervous types, and don't like to sit still when they see something moving nearby, because it could be a predator. The water bag acts a bit like a lens--try it some time--in which the movements of people in the area are reflected. Even if the fly is too far from the action to see it directly, it can see a shifting of light and dark in the water bag, which it interprets as nearby movement, and it will fly away from the bag. The reason it doesn't work on any other insects is that the other insects listed don't have eyesight worth a plugged nickel.

SO, now we know.. (: heh, also tried this new website (maybe not really new), recommended by lifehacker too, its called www.moonfruit.com. its a website where you can create a website, with very simple steps. it has quite a number of editting features, and it seems fun (i, myself still trying it out, will update later with cooler stuff if i find any) for anyone out there who want to create their website, for fun, entertainment, sharing, etc, go to the site! im sure you will like it. anyway, i tried to create a draft site, and here it is!

DHIKA's SITE.

ahh, so now back to my daily updates.. been slacking for these past few days. started doing useful stuff today (not exactly useful though) worked for singtel MioTV again, this time at vivo city, its just a one day job though. managed to sell one to a malay family. (YEAH FINALLY..) one is enough for me, no more, i dont like selling mio. haha.. but mio is good! i wanna get it later when i have a house. :D

my SIS is coming next week :D she will be staying at my place here. (im still wondering how are we gonna do this, cos my room are full of guys currently) haha, anyway we will settle this later. so next week ill be occupied with entertaining my sis. i also dunno what to do and where to bring her, any ideas? help me! better if you organise then i just join :D hahaha.. okay, thats later on monday.

then week after that is already my FOC, so fast. currently im not really looking fwd to it though. hopefully it will change as the camp draws nearer.

then after that i decided to go back to indo for just one week. (better than not going home at all right..) after so much consideration of the lectures im gonna get if i dont even go back, i decided to spend one week of my holiday home. not that i dont like it, but i dunno what to do there. seriously. just slacking arnd? haha, anyone wanna go with me? :D

yeah, thats some future plans. i hope more interesting things happen. lately its quite boring.. grr..
