This is probably the most popular question that everyone has it in their mind and the fact is that no one really knows the answers except me. :D I'm just kidding but you can evaluate my answers whether it makes sense to you and I hope you will agree with my answer too whether our universe has the beginning. So, her you go my answer:

No, our universe does NOT have a beginning.

As I mentioned in my previous post that everything is in progress or moving in this world, so in order to prove that our universe has a beginning, we must prove that at least "SOMETHING" is "STATIC". The sad news is we're unable to prove that because every static objects eventually will be be proven wrong (which is in fact moving).

The PERSPECTIVE is a key. It really depends on which perspective you're looking at. We have seen many objects are not moving or in STATIC but if we look from another perspective, those objects are moving in reality. However, have you seen any "Moving" objects are in fact "Static" from a different perspective? The answer is clearly no. Even if the answer is yes, then you're probably looking at the perspective that similar to the "Moving" object (e.g. you're moving as the same direction and same speed with the object). This is not true because the static is only true with relative to you but not somebody else.

No matter how hard we try to prove anything that is static, it will always be proven wrong when we look at it from a higher perspective. Therefore we can conclude that if we ever can prove this universe is "STATIC" and has the beginning, it will be always proven wrong if you look at it from a higher perspective. So based on this argument, I will say ultimately our universe has no beginning and everything is in progress. This also means that our universe has NO ENDING too.

Does this make sense to you?

If you read my previous post on what is life, you may noticed that I mentioned our universe is in progress because all the things in this world are moving. So now the big question is "Can I prove it scientifically?"

The thing is I don't need to because it had already been proven. Let's look at a static object around you (e.g. chair, table, laptop and etc.) Whether you're looking at the micro-perspective (i.e. electron are moving around the atoms inside an object) or macro-perspective (i.e. object on earth is moving along the sun), all the objects around you are in fact moving in reality. So, can I prove the universe is in progress?

Yes I can and you can prove it too, because all the objects in the universe are moving.

If our universe is NOT in progress, we must prove that all the things in this world must be STATIC. However, at this point in time we have no ways to prove (not even a single thing) in this universe is STATIC. Therefore, we can conclude that our universe is in progress.

Now it leads to another more challenging question is whether our universe has the beginning. You may argue that when this universe started, everything is in STATIC. Well, who knows?

ChampDog was a nickname that I invented when I started to use internet many years ago. However, this was not only the nickname that I had. It has it's origin...

Before ChampDog Was Invented

When I was young, people liked to call me "Sor San". The nickname is in Cantonese. "Sor" means crazy or insane and "San" is just part of my name. Most of my friends at that point in time thought that I"m crazy. Therefore, they gave me this nickname.

A very funny thing is everyone of  us had our own nickname in school. We didn't call each other our real names (except for teachers) but our nicknames instead. In fact for teachers, we had the nicknames for all them too!

I had been carrying this nicknames since primary school for probably 7 years until when I was in form 3 (secondary school) ...

"Sor San" Evolved to Susan

Unbelievable after 7 years,  this "Sor San" nicknames had evolved to become "Susan". It was discovered by one of my friends who did a same school project with me. From that time onwards, not all (probably 70% of the people in School) called me Susan. What a crap? I'm a man but they give me a girl's name...

Although I didn't really like this name but one thing I did like about this name is the name "Susan" is exactly the same real name with another girls that I really liked at that time. She sat in front of me everyday. I felt like I owned part of her (names only) therefore I don't really feel offensive when people called me "Susan".I just let it be...

Susan Didn't Last Long

This "Susan" nickname slowly died off as it didn't really reflect to who I'm really are except the pronunciation is a little bit similar to "Sor San". I don't think I was that "La Pek" - which means "Girlish" at that time. Due to my outstanding performance in school (I was upgraded from the worst class to the best class in school). Therefore, I was given a name "Champion". It was not really pronounced as the way English does but instead in Hakka (Chinese's Dialect) - it was pronounced as "Jump Pen".

"Jump Pen" didn't last long either. It probably last for less than 2 years. All these names (i.e. Sor San, Susan, and Jump Pen) had never come online because the internet was not popular yet at that point in time. So technically speaking, Sor San, Susan, and Jump Pen has never born in this virtual internet world. By the way, these names was given by others not even myself!

ChampDog was Born in mIRC

ChampDog was born when I was trying to figure out a nickname for my mIRC - Internet Relay Chat account. I guess that is very obvious the "Champ" was came from my last nickname. and "Dog" was simply just of my best friend during my young days. Dog was kind of like my soul mate rather than my pets and we talked about a lot of stuff. So, what I did was to combine this two to become "ChampDog".


ChampDog was first appeared on the internet in mIRC. It was fist getting very famous (I think) in mIRC - Internet Relay Chat. It was the founder for 2 quite popular channel in Malaysia that is #JB and #JOHOR. FYI - JB or Johor is one of the state located at the south of peninsular Malaysia. Perhaps you may not aware that being a founder of one of the channel in mIRC is like you're owning a company. I spent like almost 24 hours everyday to make sure the company runs smoothly.

ChampDog is Now Into Blogging

ChampDog in mIRC was eventually died off soon too after my graduation until 4 years ago I started a blog in 2006 to talk about my Journey to Become Financially Independent. Later on in 2007, I started another blog to talk about the Free Useful Software Review  that I have used before. I do have quite number of other blogs but these 2 blogs are the most active one (although not really active as compared to those professional bloggers).

ChampDog.Blogspot.Com was founded in 2006 too but I didn't have any ideas to do with it so what did was just simply post any topics that I have mind. However recently, when I looked back of what I posted, it just looked like rubbish to me. Therefore, I decided to reinvent and rewrite this blog. At least the intention is to write of something that I really like to talk about. The blog is named "A Free Thinker's Perspective Blog" to discuss anything that from a free thinker's perspective which may include Philosophy, Religion, Relationship and etc (I don't know yet).

What is Next?

To be honest, I don't know. Perhaps you can tell me...

[Update - 3 March 2014]: Started a new food blog in mid of 2012, it is called Double Food Reviews. I just want to document all the nice food that I like but I can't catch up in the blog. There are just too many and I just managed to post few. :)

Also, I recently had just migrated to Australia. So 2014 is completely a new start for me.  I will still continue to blog whenever I feel free.

[Update - 5 Jan 2021]: Time flies, can't believe that I have been in Australia for 6 years! Things have been going well, have moved up to a different industry and my key accomplishment is probably I have reduced my weight to the optimum level. Hopefully, I can maintain this healthy body as long as possible. 

I have just started to blog again. ASXMoney is my new blog where I discuss anything related to investing Australian Securities Exchange. Most importantly it is place for me to document my journey and learnings. Wish me luck!

[Update - 18 Sept 2021]: I started a more professional technical blog about Android development. 

This is a very short question but the answers could be very complicated. A very funny thing is there are 2 people in this world:

• People to make a simple things to be complicated
• People to make a complicated things to be simple.

If you try to find the definition of life in the dictionary you will find similar definitions as follow which I believe is the first people I mentioned above:

• The condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally (source: dictionary.reference.com).

What a crap? I can just summarize this whole thing as "Life is Anything that Can Breathe" - the second people that I mentioned above. For example, human, animal, fish or plant has life. That's it. :)

Okay, this is at least generally how people define "LIFE" and I have slightly different definition than the general. I define life as:

Anything that Can Move by Its Own

1. Human, animals, fish and bird can move, thus they have life - similar to the general definition.
2. Plants can grow, thus they have life too - similar to the general definition.
3. Object such as chair, pencil, mouse, keyboard and etc have life too - Opps!

You may think that objects such as what I mentioned above cannot move by their own, so they can't be called Life. This is only true if you look at from our human eyes perspective, yes they can't move. But what if you look at them from the microscopic perspective, they are in fact consist of millions of atoms and insides these atoms, there are "MOVING" electrons. So, they're are in fact can move by their own! So in other words:

Everything Has Life

A very important concept that we must understand is everything is this universal is moving. That is called "progress". You can also said, when one day everything has no progress, then we have no life in the universe. But will it happens? Yes, it might! However as for this point in time, everything is in progress, therefore everything has life. Everything is in progress because everything can move by their own.

Of course they're many reasons why one wants to answer the question and of course this is really personal. So, you probably have already known the answer before you get into here. Let's see if your answer is stated here. If no, please share yours. :)

• To prove that you're better or powerful or knowledgeable (or whatever you would like to call) than the one who asks the question
• To convince the one who asks questions that your answer is the correct one
• To share your answers to the who asks the questions so that 2 of you can learn together
• To guide the one who asks the question to get the answer by themselves.
• To fulfill your own purpose such as being told by your boss to do so and etc.

You probably haven't realize that the ultimate purpose of answering question is NOT to influence the person who ask the question but at the same time to help them to get the answers that they want.

However in reality, as long as we answer a question and no matter what, you will influence the decision or the thinking of the person who ask a question. So in other words, you can't answer the question at all ultimately. So you may ask, what is the purpose of answering question if we can't answer the question?

It is very clear that the purpose of answering question is not really to help others but yourself. This is because no matter how hard you try, you will end up influence the decision of another person. To completely avoid that, you must NOT know the answer and start answering the question for yourself. In short regardless of whether you're answering for yourself and for somebody else, the purpose of answering question is always the same which is:

"To Help Yourself to Get the Answers of the Question that You Don't Know"

In other word - when someone asks you a question, you should only answer a question that you don't know and tell the answers to him by answering to yourself.

p/s: I know this may seem confusing and a lot of you may disagree with this. Let me know if you have any comments.

The very first IMPORTANT THING that you MUST know before you ask any question is that you have to understand that NO ONE can tell you the answer but ONLY YOURSELF. So now you may think, what is the point of asking question? The point or the purpose of asking question is very simple:

• You want to know how others think of their own answers for a particular question that you have in mind.

Therefore you need to keep in mind that the purpose of asking a questions is not seeking for the answers. You're basically seeking for an opinion how other thinks of the answers of the question that you have. You still have a choice to choose the answer that you want.

Now, let's think of it. I just tell you an answer of the purpose of asking questions. So, what is the purpose of asking question in your opinion?
