i read a tech & science article on how brain-imaging study suggests that human feel satisfaction when we punish others for bad behaviour. anticipation of this pleasure drives us to crack the whip, co-operate between genetically unrelated individuals in large group, division of labour to achieve punishment for those who have abused our trust or broken social rules.
this would make sense in relation to the news i read abt a group of people on the street beat a snatch-thief to death in malaysia. there had been many snatch-and-run cases on the street and many victims fell and hit their head and either die or were in comatose. public outcry and all, when one snatch-thief was caught, he was beaten to death...... so sad. it was like he was being punished on behalf of all the other thieves who went scot-free.
talk abt stealing.. my husband's motorbike had been tampered with. one nite he came home with a tube in hand.. someone pumped the petrol out of his motorbike tank. with that tiny tube, the fella transfered petrol out. poor economy perhaps. does that worry me? does that reflect the social-class of my estate? nah. im not bothered. i do feel sorry for the person who did that though. he/she must be desperate or maybe it was an emergency. that would be creative thinking. really. just pump some from the bike next-door. maybe he was late for work or something. talk abt creative thinking. i remember once when i was young,, sec 1, (ya, sec 1 IS young) anyway-- june holidays etc stayed with my cousins. we were locked out from the house, my aunt went shopping (it could take forever). we were locked out for a long time.. then i was "high-tide" high tight or high tide? it just means i have to PEE urgently. i said : "we HAVE to get in i wanna pee". they said: "no key! main door locked". so i went hunting for a key. know what i did? i removed the wire from the neighbour's bonsai plant. the wire what to shape the bonsai's growth. removed it slowly and i made it into a key. i really did open the door. it was out of desperation. i was gonna pee mah, i need go toilet. see? if u are caught in a very tight situation, you will find any means to make things happen. so i guess the person that took some petrol off the bike was in a tight situation. just like i was.
i have opened locked doors many times. with paper clips or wire. i dont like to do that but when my colleague forgot her keys and the boss went on MC and she needed desperately to get a document from the room or she may be fired................ i told her to stand guard and i'll open the door for her. but she has to promise she wont tell anyone. hahaha and now im telling u. =P
dont ask me to do it. ive lost the touch. drop ur idea. k im out of here.

Hello,
I don't ask you to do it for me as I live too far. But can you at least teach me cos once my husband locked himself out of the house when throwing the rubbish. It will come useful to us.
BTW, your auntie's place did not have a kopi-tiam nearby? You could have found a toilet easily. :))
1st:
u have to see in ur mind, the cross section
of the lock. locks are made of a few layers of
metal, each layer has its unique cutting.
there is a loose flap that can be depressed
(when key is inserted)
2nd:
use a firm wire as the spine of the key.
this spine would hold those "loose" flaps
down in place.
3rd:
with another wire (softer/thinner one)
find those tiny flaps that the spine missed.
artistically hold these flaps down.
4th:
when u have a feel that all flaps have
clicked, turn the wires clockwise as u
would turn the key.
5th:
they say some ppe just have the knack for it.
lastly:
there is really no standard procedure to
unlock any locks. of course- if u've got
the key... we wont be having this
conversation. blah.
Yes, I agree with that Anonymous that some pple just have a knack for it (to open locks). I'm one of them..thou the method I used is almost similiar to wat Anonymous described. Didn't know I had this "talent" until I forgot to bring my drawer key to work one day :P
