Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Interesting Population Statistics

I got some interesting statistics to share it with you today =)


Interesting Population Statistics

Here they go:

Assuming that we shrunk the entire world population into a mere 100 people and keeping the original proportions / ratios, in there 100 peeps we got…

(1) 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 Americans and 8 Africans.
(2) 52 males and 48 females.
(3) 30 whites and 70 non-whites.
(4) 30 Christian and 70 non-Christians. (Note: Not all whites are Christians!)
(5) 89 ‘normal’ peeps and 11 gays / lesbians.
(6) 6 owns 59% of the total assets and all of the 6 are from the United States.
(7) 80 do not have proper shelter.
(8) 50 of them suffering from malnutrition.
(9) 1 is near to death.
(10) 1 is giving birth in any minute in the future.
(11) 70 of them are illiterate.
(12) 1 of them owns a Master degree.
(13) 15 of them have computers.

If you wake up this morning and finding that you’re still breathing (duh, or not you’re not reading this post!), you’re very lucky as 1 million peeps have a life span of 7 days or less.

If you’re not tortured by war, hunger and rape, you’re luckier than 50 million peeps.

If you have the right and freedom to believe in any religion that you believe, you’re luckier than 300 million people.

If you have some food and tidbits in your house refirgerator, have clothes to put on and have a clean and proper shelter, you’re richer than 75% of the world’s population.

If you have some money deposited in your bank account and have cash in your wallet, you are the top 8% of the richest peeps in the world.

Most importantly, if you can READ and UNDERSTAND this passage, you are luckier than 200 million peeps who don’t know how to read and write.

Consider that you’re the lucky one, you should trasure you day and your life from now onwards =)

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
  • What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Kutiman-Thru-you - 01 - Mother of All Funk Chords. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
