Fruits of Power

The rotting bananas in sealed vats would produce methane gas that would power an electricity turbin.Scientist also shores the possibility of building a full sized fruit-fired power station.A banana powered plant would be able to provide energy supple to 500 homes.This is a considerable source of energy because most bananas never make it to the shops.They just rot to the ground.The only setback is,a huge amount of such fruits to generate a small amount of power.So.. although it is an alternative,we have yet to see whether it is a commercial winner in the energy industry.

Whoa if bananas could produce electricity...I guess that less bananas would be eaten by the day,that is in an energy hungry world like today.

Some people might need this.

A poem to praise yourself,elevate your own ego

I started of feeling afraid,
Unwilling to take part,
Afraid that ,
That would be my first defeat.

Don't know how it came along ,
I guess it is just my destiny,
One day I just had to ,
To save ... me pride and glory.

During that time....my work done,
Bewildered many people ,
My opponents having their ego crushed ,
Could just say ...

I SALUTE YOU

Card Game

Yesterday I was playing tai ti.oh actually not yesterday.. it is today.At about over 12-1 am.Quite late.n since my computer is in my parents room i got scolded.:( 'Do you know that this is your exam year?I think you are getting worse and worse.... it is nearly 1 u know.'So i just quickly scrambled off my computer before my parents threaten to sabotage the computer.Very scary especially when they are very sleepy.Argh who gave me this game .Adrian sent it to me .Gloria sent it to me too just a bit later.So now Adrian takes the blame:D haha jk.Probably the game is so addictive or it is just me that gets excited over new things.Anyway I like this game.If there is enough people(4) I think I would play again today.Just have to have some time control.

When making a dream , be specific or else .heeehehe

I had the best dream of my life.Today?hahah not really.It might be just a few days ago.Anyway it came true.But it is weird how things come about to upset you.My dream was to be rich of course...a simple wish but... . All I wanted was ........... to be successful in all aspects,career,romance,everything.And I wanted it straightaway.Wish came true ,yes but not the way i wanted it to be.So what if I own huge resorts,theme parks, when i don't know how I got it.It is even worse when I knew that i got all these by making a long list of enemies.Imagine that suddenly you are 20 years older,suddenly have a job which you don't know how to do.In such circumstances , what would you do?Break down and cry?Make another wish hoping it would come true?Or just live the way u had wished for?

There is this something about people

People tend to think too much of what they can't get.When we are not at the end we would think of the future...when we know our time is up we would think of the past.

The end of my life in school is coming(not yet) and I'm thinking of what my last school day would be like.I know my position in school.Hrm so i'm least expecting people to sign on my school uniform.but that is what most people experience rite.argh:D At least i hope i would get credited n get signatures by classmates.

Argh..I'm thinking ahead..look what the holidays is doing to me.Study and some free time to think ahead.Nvm shudn't be thinking bout that.End of my school days means the start of my study leave..i think.Then SPM.*headache*headache*headache* 'pengz'

A friend of mine told me that today is Valentine's day(chinese version)

Behind everything there has to be a story.This one started like this.There was once a couple that loved each other very much.Unfortunately they couldn't be together.They were only allowed to meet for one day every year, and that year is today.The reason is.. the girl is a goddess.So this is how this version comes about.

Doom 3

'Doom 3'
The likes of hell

Cool rite.haha. People say, that playing this game is like being in a movie and in that movie you are participating.Because of the use of complex technology,this game is made to make u feel like u r the character in the game...u r the one chased by demons,imps,hellknights and so on.I've not played it but it looks like a pretty exciting game where 'wimps' would go no where at all.

Derek | 6:51 pm

RUN!!!

What is the thing that controls u?That's fear.Especially when u have done something wrong.Ok...I went to tuition early in the morning.Then later i went to this free tuition in school.Although it is free this means less freedom.Anyway the class was supposed to be 2 and a half hours long.Well i stayed for the first hour..... Actually i wanted to go back to my class to rest a while.(the chemistry class is boring).so..... i went to my class for a while.I din know what went wrong today but the headmaster came.OMG.haih since i was out of the class i was afraid to be caught.because of this we hid ourselves in this small n stuffy room,afraid he would spot us.What an experience.It is hell.After hiding for a while... we went out .Then my friend drove us out to a cafe.We returned a while later about half an hour before the class ended.hmm this is an example of living 'dangerously'.lol

Summarising the whole thing, ....... we RAN!!!

Today is 'the' day

Today, when I came back to class during break,I was surprised.My friends were cleaning the class n someone emptied the dustbin for me.I thought who would do that.lol.Later i found out that foreigners from the land of the rising sun would watch us.Woa I felt the surge of excitement in me .I understood how my classmates had felt.haha.I was excited for the reason that something different than the other boring school days would happen.Some might be excited that the Japenese are coming.They wore cool costumes,high tech cam corders.Yup suits their reputation as Japanese,citizens to one of the worlds most modern and advanced country.To my surprise, they are so advanced.They have achieved a greater height than us.Isn't Malaysia the best?I was even more surprised when I found out ,they suffered from the effects of two atomic bombs.They are still ahead of us...how?Perhaps they mutated into smarter beings.I would like to quote a phrase like some of my friends like to use,'There is no other explanation'.

Our performance in class today was most spectacular.Some might say acting.haha.It was a great experience though.I didn't participate in the discussion but it is still great to be in the video.I wonder who would view it.The Higher Authorities.wow.Damn we just promoted Lodge.Why... ?we are leaving in a few months time.

W@r

I just studied bout ww1 and ww2.Wonder when is ww3.It isn't that surprising to hav a world war 3?Look at the world.Chaos is everywhere...,including in peaceful countries.When you look into the community u can see people quarrel at the smallest things.I guess that's human nature.They never learn.Anyway, I was always wondering , what would happen if German finished the 1st atomic bomb.How different would the world be?Without war ,history would be a boring subject.Without war, there is no reality.Reality might sound just fake.If I had the ability to travel back in time and if i was heard saying that then ,i would be slaughtered.BUT who cares,I wasn't involved.I didn't suffer.I'm living a happy life.I'm in the present.People say war is inevitable in politics.!If that is true war is a topic that would never run out of points to talk about.

War-conventional war,guerilla war,physicology war,cold war,chemical war,nuclear war

BTW countries can carry out terrorist actions to fuel anger against terrorism to gain support from the rest of the world.All about strategy!-!

-WhisperS-

There is no sudden happening in this world,
There would always be a sign,
A sign....a voice,
So soft so unaudible,

WHISPERS.-sometimes...when u think u are alone,
u are not.There's always someone ,
something ,to help, support or ,
haunt u.

Listen to them for they might tell the truth.

If the police wants to regain the trust of the public,students should be made police.

First of all,students are going to join the community.It is just a matter of time.For now , the police only take care of crimes in the community outside school,which I think is wrong.As students are human beings, they have feelings as well and their rights should be protected.If students are made police , the teachers that commit a crime would be caught .There would be no doubt about that.This reduces the chance of student abuse in school which would reduce the social problems in the country.As we all know ,school is important-so crimes should not be legal in school just because the police are the teachers and the hated 'headmaster'.I do not mean mistakes done by students.I mean mistakes by the teachers.Some people think that students have nothing to worry about-all they need is to study and go to school.This is a huge responsibility.No one can imagine how school is like.In school,blackmail is practiced.In school,intimidation is practiced.In school, things get really personal at times.U can't argue with a teacher.Because before u can point out ur point u would be shouted at.One simple example, we are threatened that we would get a lousy testimonial if we do not behave in class.And for the prefects,they might not get their certificates if they do not behave for the other half of the year.That isn't fair as they have finished their duties and deserved it.So we should have police to control the teachers and preferably,senior students be part of the comittee.Hey i learned something from sejarah.I'm just surprised why power sharing between students and teachers are not implemented when our country implement power sharing at the highest level.The obvious example is, the King and the Prime Minister.

~For You~

Pleasing You

Up late at night,
Figuring out what would please you,
Looking for a piece of mind ,
I try just to stand still.

Gathering thoughts of us together,
Searching memories for the desired,
I stare into the sky,
Smiling as I see my way.

Full of confidence I go,
To get something to please you,
Always hoping to put a smile on you,
On that special day.

Finally I went bringing with me nothing at all,
Just a piece of paper that is written ,
A phrase so hard to say,
I LOVE You.

Confusion~Do we have control over all things?Does our mistakes,miscalculations benefit us in another way?

Being a normal human is no fun.First you are exposed to the fear of death and if you are not you are afraid that your feelings are hurt.We most probably fear every second of our life.Although we try not to remember it by smiling,keep life going.We still can't change reality.Challenging reality is a different thing.However that way, we are sure to lose.So mankind are basically under pressure everyday.Stressed out everyday.They seem strong and they dominate the world.BUT, they fear their subconcious.What they see ,does not need to happen.Yet,it is human's nature to prevent things that they feel should not happen.So...sometimes,they doubt what they do.How could they ,especially when given a special task to look after the planet.When people lose their mind,they go to some extend.Some might give some ideas..ideas that they might not have thought of when they have a peace of mind.Even some famous artists did their best work when they have closed themselves from the world.Humans are poor beings.They show superiority yet ,I think they should be much more sympathized.

Right now I'm thinking of building an ice palace in a desert.What state of mind am I in?

A fiery experience

Different people likes different thinks.For me I like the sight of fire.I don't know why.Probably it can be interpreted in many ways.A fire represents the spirit to win.At times it represents rage.And in some other cases it represents destruction,tragedy and the loss of life.Anyway,my friends sneaked out a tiny sum of ethanol liquid.lol wasn't that exciting.They had it in a drinking bottle.(The transparent mineral water type).So ...they continue with their plan ..to video record a fiery situation.We went to 'our' room which used to be a KH room.So in this KH room there is this store room.That's where we went.We poured a trail...and lighted it ....but it was limited and the fire didn't last long.Sigh....if more ethanol was taken out I'm sure i'll be delighted to see the great fire.Hehe... I was quite relieved that that didn't make the first real fire.AND I certainly hope that we are responsible for triggering the first possible 'real' fire alarm.

A 'long' day

Today , I went to school.For extra ‘tuition’.Well I was surprised to see some form 2 students there as well.I know some of them.:)n continue…um of course they were’nt there for tuition class as well.They are not so hardworking.Could’nt blame them for that .hehe…

After that,I thought I would rot at home for the rest of the day,although I’ve got the hint from my parents that I might be going to the Kuching Fest yesterday.So anyway,I went home,switched on my com trying to enter my blog.oh..btw I can’t seem to enter my blog these few days,so it’s not that I am obsessed to the com.I just have some duties to perform.

At about six plus plus,I went to the fest.When my mother tried to park her car,I was fiddling with my handphone.N when I looked up, I saw Evelyn in her car showing me some sign language.Yea I understood what she said.She asked me whether I am going to En Thien’s party.I shook my head.. I was’nt invited.haha anyway I still met all my friends that went to celebrate her b’day when I was looking for food.

After that I decided to walk away with my family members and go to see the ice sculptures first.The que was long.To go in , I had to squeeze through a small entrance.It’s a small entrance compared to the size of the indoor icebox!.I stayed in there for about 30-40 minutes.Or that’s what I thought because my brother wanted to slide down on ice.The que for that was long too.How long I’ve waited,I can feel by the numb feeling of my toes as I was wearing slippers or sandals.

When I came out,I had blur vision.My specs became blur.hehe not that I’m becoming spiderman or anything,it’s just the change in temperature.After I could see clearly again ,I heard a call from one of my friends.n I could see a few hands waving at meJ.I went home right after that.Wondered what happened to them.Did they freeze ?hehe

Sometimes,respect is unavoidable.:D

Everyday, nearly every lesson,I get to see teachers put on fake smiles.They seem to be teaching a whole lot of students and getting feedback from questions asked.But in reality,when it you look at the teacher from the student's point of view,it is merely a whole lot of people sleeping.Some of them know how boring their subjects are so they did not strive to make everyone of us listen.Even so, they will keep on teaching performing their duties because they were paid to.This is where my respect goes to them.If they know that certain subjects are just the 'duh' type,they should give us free time.Or they could allow us to do anything we want.Commenting about this hmm I'll just say it.The moral class is just great.For those who stayed awake, you can see a great commander speaking with great confidence to a group of 'dead' soldiers.People ,we should have brought camera's.

Criticism makes room for improvement.

All of the community,if not most, criticise everyday.Every single action is a subject to criticism.Even when you thought you have never done anything to offend anyone.Automatically,a person would react , disgusted or try to avoid being part of an ugly persons life.On the other hand,people with good looks 'always' have the upper hand.It is an advantage.At least they won't be criticised about their looks at first sight.But this of course is natural and can't be improved.I am talking about certain issues.Probably about defence?Recently,how uneffective the search and rescue team operated have been criticised.So then... they are now trying to purchase better equipment for future purposes.Perhaps in anything..for example... criticise a politician.Keep on criticising and if the majority follows you, then that politician will have a short term of service.If it is not too effective to bring the politician down,it would sure be brought to their attention what you are not satisfied with.Criticism is no mistake.Criticism is an opinion ,an opinion which tells the person the unpleasant truth.If you think you have never been criticised,you have always been dreaming.WAKE UP!

Time is everything.From creativity to reality it is only time that makes the difference.

Several years later, people might think that what we are today are just uncivilized and ignorant people as we view those people from the ancient times.However would it be a different thing if........ a disaster is to strike,or lets say all the basics are wiped off the planet.Will people then be able to survive?If we study from advanced items without learning basics, we would be just creating disaster for the future generation.They might know how to use items like batteries to operate other items.BUT will they be able to make batteries?Electricity is a very important form of energy.What i am trying to say is if we just keep thinking of learning everything advanced,we will one day be back to where we came from.Stone age?except with the ruins of whats left.Skyscrapers will then be dark castles of the dark ages.Without another alternative people might resort to magic and sorcery again.Wahaha..i'm either thinking very far or i'm just a plain pessimist.
