I am currently: on Semi-Wikibreak

I'm taking a short wikibreak due to school and will be back on Wikipedia sometime down the road. Most likely, however, I won't be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and I'll probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every so often. Messages left for me may not be replied to for a while.

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Welcome to my userpage! Before you start drawing those unnecessary conclusions, I think it would be best for everyone to view my userpage first, although I personally think it is slightly hideous. Regarding that, I am quite sorry. Feel free to browse through my userpage, and don't be afraid to edit it, because after all, it is a wiki, but please, under any circumstance, do not vandalise this page as it is just an utter waste of time, okay?

Etymology

The username Acs4b is a combination (or portmanteau) of Acs and 4b. ACS is an abbreviation of Anglo Chinese School, which is a primary and secondary school in Klang (this is just one of the many ACS schools in Malaysia and Singapore), and it is my current alma mater. The word 4b, which is another abbreviation, stands for 4 Bestari, a class that I used to study in while I was in ACS primary (I was in this class in 2004).

Useful pages

The pages listed below are useful, at least that's what I think. I deliberately created this section so that valuable time will not be wasted in finding those pages.

Happy Planet Index

(Taken from my personal results page.)

My personal Happy Planet Index (HPI) is 58.7 (22nd in the world if I compared it with other countries), which is similar to that of countries such as Tunisia, Sri Lanka or Kyrgyzstan. Not bad. This is above the world average of 46, but still below the target value of 83, so there is more I can do to improve my health and well-being, or reduce my environmental impact. My score is above that of my country, 52.7.

Trivia

• I managed to score 5As in the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah year 2006.

• To date, I have only taken the Wikipediholic test 12 times, and my most recent one was about 5 months ago (in December 2006). I practically do not have the time.

• I am an acrophobic. I first developed this fear possibly between 2002 and 2003, which was when I entered a cable car for the first time. However, whenever I enter a tall building or a shopping mall, I would only start feeling afraid (or scared) when I am at the fourth floor (sometimes third or fifth, depending on the height of the building) and I am looking down the ground floor.

Today's featured article

Jurassic Park is a 1993 science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. The film centers on the fictional island of Isla Nublar, where scientists have created an amusement park of cloned dinosaurs. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) invites a group of scientists, played by Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern, to visit the park. Sabotage sets the dinosaurs on the loose, and technicians and visitors attempt to escape the island. Spielberg acquired the rights to the novel before its publication in 1990, and Crichton was hired to adapt his novel. David Koepp wrote the final draft, which left out much of the novel's exposition and violence, and also made numerous changes to the characters. Spielberg hired Stan Winston Studios to create animatronics to portray the dinosaurs, shots of which were mixed with newly developed computer-generated imagery by Industrial Light and Magic. Jurassic Park is regarded as a landmark in the usage of CGI effects and received positive reviews from critics, who praised the effects (though reaction to other elements of the picture, such as character development, was mixed). Jurassic Park spawned a franchise of films and other media, and was followed by The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997 and by Jurassic Park III in 2001, with Jurassic Park IV currently in development.
