The transistor overheated..... hell, it created a whiff of smoke when I opened the circuit's casing.
All hail Magneto.

Actually it's kind of a deja vu to me. I mean I remember in the early 80s in Singapore, many of us including the Malaysians, had the feelings that Singapore was a Christian nation too. Many temples ( taoist and buddist) were pulled down for various reasons while it seem that, or many felt that more churches were built instead. And that time many christains were very active in the community centers or RCs as well. At least I myself felt that way...
And if I would to recall correctly, it was reported in the ST many years ago( early 90s?) that more than 50%( or almost 70%) of the members were Christians in PAP. And understandably, more doubts and uneasiness were cast upon the ruling party whenever something sensitive towards traditional culture or religions issues were involved. It was definitely unhealthy.
However, all is well now. That's how I feel at least. Many Buddhists and Venerables had worked hard in building up the dharma studies centers in those difficult years and now the result is very possitive. The govt. has been very supportive towards Buddhism developement ( as well as other religions ) all these years and has try to be as secular as possible for the purpose of racial and religion harmony.
So I guess all is not lost as long as we Buddhists encourage and support each other in the dharma path, for the good of ourselves as well as for the good of all sentient beings. Or simply put, just walk on no matter how tough the road is in front of us.
Singapore is in a better situation because our governments think more in terms of racial harmony and religious sensitivity due to our diversity of races and religions and cultures.
It seems that South Korea still needs to mature.

Wow, r u using optocoupler? This will at least protect ur motor from the surge... just my 2 cents :)

Yeah. Take a read at the interview with CSJ by CNN in 2002. Really not shy!
I like this part:Chee: I sell my book. I've written a couple of books and I get down to the streets, in front of shopping centers and I hawk them. And from the income that I get, I make ends meet.
Sell books can support family with 3 children?
... but at least he got books to sell... unlike some other authors.
