First of all,I have to be very grateful I can still come online.heh... because there was a storm just now.And because of that my home encountered a blackout.I thought my modem was dead.It wasn't!All I did was restarted it and it was back to normal again.Simple.

So before the lights were back on ,I entered the world of the blind.It was real dark.Luckily I found my handphone to be multipurpose.I used that tiny bit of light to find the torchlights and went to look for my other siblings.In this situation if you have sharp ears very easy to find them .You know why?Cause the young ones would scream.haha.In just this short short time I begun thinking about what if the batteries run out.I don't know where the candles are nor do I have any idea whether we had them at the first place.I thought... I thought maybe try to adapt to darkness.

Turns out,I didn't had to worry at all.The lights were back in just a few minutes and my computer had to go through scandisc before it can operate again.Luckily that was all.If not... then I would just have to wait for this awfully long period of time to past by till.. my b'day.

Can trees turn to gold?

Yes or no.Currently the mindset is no.If you ask what is in the way of developement.Forests ,meaning trees.Of course if we replace all those trees with buildings ,we would get the big money.How can you earn money by constructing buildings?Common sense..if you have the right facilities and infrastructure investment would come pouring in.But all these at the cost of nature.Worth it?No one cares about it now although they realise it.They are waiting for someone to make the first move, afraid that if they do it first it would be their mistake.

The alternative is,turn green.Maybe make a town with treehouse replacing the modern houses.The treehouse need not be primitive and will be able to use electricity.If a city like this is created,every house is a tree or a string of combined trees.Which means the whole neighbourhood will be filled with trees.With treehouse, you still get a home just with a whole new different environment.

Can you earn money like that?
Of course!Everyone wants something new.All they need is a guarentee that their living standards do not decline.

Hitting two birds with one stone.
Earn money and at the same time live with harmony with the environment.

Since i went to school on Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday,I felt it was my responsibility to go to school today even though I no longer had to go to school.Just felt weird.Was sick yesterday and the timing was bad.I remember I had headache in school on Wednesday then later when I reach home I actually need blankets...without air conditioning.

Owh... and 1 more reason why I'm not so interested to go to school.BECAUSE it seems that everyone have finished their exams and I guess it would be quite noisy.I just don't feel nice ..maybe some people call that jealousy.yup I am.lol I guess that's just human nature.

There 's nothing interesting today,just stayed at home.

Activities are,if you actually call them activities=eating,sleeping,study,online and some tv.
I think I slept the most.At least half the day.sigh the medicine I ate is taking effect.Im going to sleep=Pp

Everytime you see a chance, what do you do?Take it?no... you make use of it.hahaha.

Today was same as yesterday.Except.. we went out during study time.Actually we wanted to go choice daily and do some 'shopping'.Unfortunately it was still closed.So to play time,I accompanied my friends to the snookerium where I just sat and watch.They played an awfully long game.Half an hour I think.And then went to choice daily and got what we wanted.Well we certainly made a worth while trip there since we got goods cheaper than we thought.We made use of the opportunity given.

If you didn't get my message,my friend brought his bag in and he successfuly brings it out!.

Later, we met another friend.Said hi and headed back to school.We continued studying... till about 12.That's when the primary classes finish their exam.So then I had to go home with my brother.

Usually,at this time of the year the form 4's would claim the title big bro of the school.Why cause the form 5's are supposed to be on study leave which means the form 5 will not go to school.Anyway,it just so happens that students always do the opposite of what they say.'I hate school' means 'I like school'.Since the start of the study leave, some form 5's come to school.To get advise from teachers and some so called tips.

Although the study leave started last week,I just joined this group of people this week.And for the 1st impression of a day in school without lessons was just...great.These few days,I sleep late and wake up late.But today,I had to wake up early! and that is a big deal.So I arrived in school at 6.30 again.Normal time.During this early hours of the morning,there is just nothing.Just so quiet,just my type.I had a walk around without school uniform.That's the difference.

Later part of the day, we had a great time learning about different factions of students in the other form 5 class.Well that class is so interesting!.It is just like politics there and you need to have great minds to survive.Though not that serious,it is something like that.Something like backstabbing.If you are the victim, you would either lose your investment in your belongings or risk getting a zero in a exam(accused of cheating).Tough life.

During break time, I went to the canteen and had a drink.And I also had a friend who is fasting treat me a drink.=).I then later accompany my friend to the last block to pass something to a friend.

Went home early today.As soon as some of my friends leave,I leave as well leaving some others behind.I was lucky my grandparent's house was in a good location.So I easily got a ride back.Oh and I received a forwarded message from Benita.I then decided to forward it some more.I think I'm going to accumulate forwarded message so I can 'battle' messages with some people.haha

*Hit me* haha.I remember those were phrases my friends use when they play blackjack.Anyway what i meant was *hit me!* .Just now i thought i was dreaming.And that was when i was in tuition.I actually brought my school magazine there.Not to read ... but as a friend lent it to another friend.k...the reason I thought i was dreaming was..my friend invited me to go to cyber cafe and nearly got me into playing a game called Utopia.Actually I wanted to ask him what time and day was it.Although I know he was joking,I still think that that is bad influence.hehe no harsh feelings:p.We went there,did some of Selangor's paper and did some sort of revision.After that, I just went home.

A few hours after that,I had a hair cut,or just trim it a bit.Then I went home whole body itchy.As soon as I reach home, I got changed and was relieve of all those itchyness.Next time I have a haircut,I will make sure that 'the cloth' covers me perfectly.=Pp

Advise to ninjas to graduate from ninja school by a sensei.=Pp

Waiting is wasting time.Don't try to be too wise,don't cry cause it's alright,don't try to act so fierce cause you will hate yourself in the end.When you say dreams are dreams,I'll show you that dreams are goals able to be achieved.

Besides learning to throw a shuriken,a ninja needs to be disciplined as well.You need to follow rules... which means good discipline.As ninja's are often given dangerous tasks,missions ninjas have to abide by the rules and remain trusted by their clients who hire them.They have to give priority to accomplish a mission even if it means a sacrifice.

Ninjas that are not yet graduated are just like students.Students often brag about what they want to be or are going to be without acknowledging the importance of study.Ninjas are similar in the sense that they fancy battles more than books.

Ninjas and students alike... are still humans

"Stupid fool!!!". I would imagine that shouted at me if I acted dumb.In simple words, a fool.Those are harsh words, as they smash a person's self esteem,and confidence.Well, that was what I thought,but someone changed my idea.

I saw a guy,chased out of his home.What could force a man out of his home.In your mind you might be thinking of an armed man or a person collecting rental.It wasn't any of them.It was just his wife.

First thing I saw was,he got forced out of the house.And of course he didn't walk away.He stood there thinking of a way to explain to his wife.Smart?Usually explaination doesn't work at times like these right?I've seen a lot of these in the movies.Anyway,a few moments after that,I saw a huge bag threw out of the door.Oh my...I think he is helpless.Was that the end?Nope,everything ..all those that could be thrown out was out.Meaning the ground floor was left empty.

As a watcher what would you think?I thought he was going to feel sorry or at least feel guilty.That was..... until he yelled,"I have nothing left.I know I can't get a fortune out of gambling,but it is just so addictive.Now we even lose the house.I hope you bear with me and follow what you said when we were married at the church."

This is selfishness.

This shows that not everything can turn out the way you think.
And...can you heal a poisoned person by feeding them poison of a different type?

Man who loved bake beans

Man Who Loved Baked Beans

Once upon a time, there lived a man who had a terrible passion
for baked beans. He loved them, but they always had an
embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction on him. One day he met
a girl and fell in love. When it became apparent that they would
marry, he thought to himself, she'll never go through with the
marriage with me carrying on like this, so he made the supreme
sacrifice and gave up beans.

Shortly after that they were married. A few months later, on his
birthday and on the way home from work, his car broke down.
Since they lived in the country, he called his wife and told her
that he would be late because he had to walk home. On his way
home, he passed a small cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked
beans overwhelmed him. Since he still had several miles to walk
he figured he could walk off any ill affects before he got home.
It was, after all, his birthday. So he went in and ordered, and
before leaving had 3 extra large helpings of baked beans.

All the way home he putt-putted. By the time he arrived home he
felt reasonably safe. His wife met him at the door and seemed
somewhat excited. She exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most
wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!" She put a
blindfold on him, and led him to his chair at the head of the
table and made him promise not to peak. At this point he was
beginning to feel another one coming on. Just as his wife was
about to remove the blindfold, the telephone rang. She again
made him promise not to peek until she returned, and away she
went to answer the phone. While she was gone, he seized the
opportunity. He shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was
not only loud, but ripe as a rotten egg. He had a hard time
breathing, so he felt for his napkin and fanned the air about
him. He had just started to feel better, when another urge came
on. He raised his leg and RRIIPPP !!! It sounded like a diesel
engine revving, and smelled worse. To keep from gagging, he
tried fanning his arms a while, hoping the smell would
dissipate. He got another urge. This was a real blue ribbon
winner, the windows shook, the dishes on the table rattled and a
minute later the flowers on the table were dead.

With his blindfold still on, when he heard the phone farewells
he neatly laid his napkin on his lap and folded his hands on top
of it. Smiling contentedly, he was the picture of innocence when
his wife walked in. Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if
he had peeked at the dinner table. After assuring her he had not
peeked, she removed the blindfold and yelled, "SURPRISE!!!"
To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner guests seated
around the table for his surprise birthday party.

To start the day,I ate three curry buns.And what do you think?Unhealthy right.Yea ok .Bad start.

In the afternooon, I went with a few friends to the state library.It is so far.Didn't know why i bothered to go there.Anyway I was expecting an environment good enough to study.Well the library was packed!Although all those around kept silent,their presence around could not be ignored.I opened my book and stared.And it was too bad for me because I have a short attention span.After a while I kept looking around.Then I went to the canteen and got some drinks.Went up again just to notice some of my friends were heads down,sleeping.Great motivation!

At around 5pm,I came down using the flight of stairs made by glass.Here,I was shocked.I saw a couple in their wedding attire taking photos using the stairs as the background.I didn't know it was an attraction.I just walked over it but never notice what's so special about it.Maybe it is just beautiful.hmm or maybe because it is transparent.Anyway my car arrived a few minutes later to pick me up,bring me back home.'Home sweet home'

Hey.To all guys out there.Do you feel fed up about people campaigning for women's rights?I mean when those complaining are women with high positions.It really get on my nerves when I hear people say "Guys are always like that." and 1 more famous phrase,"You can never trust guys."Phrases like these does not only describe men.They can describe both genders.I can also say,"women are always like that"."You can never trust women."Nowadays in modern societies,women seem to forget their position.They seem forever covered by shadows of the past.They used to have no rights,but now they have.So why are they campaigning.

And for some women , they take the form of the devil.Somehow,they can't seem to forgive and forget.And here they unleash all hatred in expenditure on the men's account even when they do earn their own money.They give no mercy to caring n loving husbands making sure that they come out from a shopping complex with loads of stuff.Some are useless stuffs.One womens expenditure for a month might double or triple the men.

The time when men shows superiority was before and that was not at all men's fault.It was the harsh situation then and the natural state of man which is physically stronger than women.In the olden days, all the hard work and fighting have to be done by men.So women being weaker have to do something ,like cooking and looking after the house.Nowadays it is different.Now wars are not won totally by brute strength.We have technology.Nowadays women can go to war too.They just need to learn to fire a gun.In the past a job is tough,something like carrying loads of bricks and travelling.Now work can be classified as 'sitting in the office'.So here women fits in.

Women should not think of the past as the time when men suppressed them.It just wasn't time for them.Here i want to stress the importance of open mindedness and for both genders to accept what the world is like today.Follow the road made by time.There is time for everything and everyone.

"When time plays chess,do not laugh.You are just one of it's pieces."

This post only refers to annoying women.Those that still think they are mistreated when they are treated like a princess already.

The reason I blog

The reason I blog is to express myself and when doing so I also extend my influence sphere.As technology advances,I grow with it and I'm telling myself I will not be left behind.Right now , my blog have been viewed at least 2000 times and my views and opinions have been read.I might have influenced some.I might have made a difference and most importantly share ideas,radical or not.I see influence growing and maybe when I finish study,my post can influence an election.And here I would like to use a quote my headmaster said.A winner will say that it is difficult but possible.A loser will say that it is possible but difficult.

Confused?If you are ... it would be alright for you to feel stupid.He is actually trying to cultivate positive thinking in us.I have an ambition,I have a goal.So what would you say Mr Lee?Will I succeed?Time will reveal it all and I for one hope you are right cause I have a goal.

Another reason I blog use my free time properly instead of getting involved in social problems and this I have achieved.I have not robbed the bank,even though I'm so obsessed with gold coins.I owe it all to blogging.A tool preventing myself from going crazy.I have benefited myself because I made a smart choice which is to blog.This gives me a voice that is although soft,it is still a sound and as it grows older it will become louder.Here I wield influence.I feel mighty.

Iron fist or democracy?

Would you prefer to be one above all and have a full grip on power or be a leader which position sways when media takes part.Dictators have absolute power making it easier and a more effective administration.Unlike democracies where the leader just gets to propose.How do you feel when you are trying so hard for the good of your country and then your actions are questioned by those 'young people' in politics.Their say limits your powers,which means your initial purpose of doing good might be bent by others.They might twist your words and you get the blame.

So here who feels the heat.Here,close competitors feel the heat.Like in the US.G W Bush and Kerry are close in polls.This is the flaw in full democracy.Well for countries like Malaysia,partial democracy is practiced,but the Prime Minister need not worry.Elections in Malaysia is so predictable.There is no challenge at all for Malaysian politics are 'stable'.Barisan National dominates Malaysian politics.This make some people think that when a government does not change,there is no democracy.Well in Malaysia,there is not much choice,as the ruling party has more money and have kept their words in previous years.In Malaysia,although democracy is practiced,the authorities have a tight grip on power unlike in the US.

Russia is also going back.They are tightening their grip on power after the siege on the school in Beslan.Using that incident as a excuse.This is not the only sign.See how they are handling the Yukos affair?They are trying to get back those assets which they think have been sold too cheaply to oligarchs.Seems like 'realpolitics' huh.'Politics are dirty'.Although it is not neccasarily this way,the world today is just that.Look at North Korea.So poor, yet they have a strong army and a capable detterent force.The nuclear capability.Look at the missiles aiming at South Korea ready to fly any time.You think democracy is good for the north right now?If it was,the country would be in chaos because most of the people are in poverty and would cause an uprising.This would give America use that to their advantage and later invade N.Korea to dispose of the current regime.If not for the nuclear capability they possess,N.Korea would easily have been the next Iraq.The wonder of holding nuclear is the power to negotiate.No one wants to risk a nuclear war.Having nuclear weapons is like having POWER.

Last day..Usually we celebrate it,but now we face it with heavy hearts as it tells us,our days together are numbered.

Sad thing is,today is the last day of school.Not only that.It was a short day.We went to school early to meet our friends,and to some extend i think we got it wrong.It wudn't be the last time seeing each other,because we will still meet during spm.Anyway some people got real emotional with all those hugs n stuffs.After break, we attended a briefing.Supposed to be a motivation talk.Well some people might take it as that or just stress.

Somehow we manged to get to a point when the headmaster got to a point where he talked about getting mad because of study.Symptoms were gigling to themselves.Was it a coincidence, we all looked at a friend.haha.

At the end of the day,we finally got our school magazine.Everyone were exchanging school magazines to get autographs.I , didn't cause i believe remembering at heart is better.However I get to feel somewhat of a celebrity when asked to sign school magazines.hahaha.After that we just took off to the Pizza hut at Tabuan Jaya.There we had lunch and had 3 pizzas divided by 7 person.Spend about rm8 each.After all the dividing,we all got the minimum pieces of 3 pieces of pizza each.Worth it?hmm maybe Crystal's pizza better ho.*wink*haha

Falling asleep

Just now,it rained.And it so happens to be just right after school,at about 4pm.This is the situation.I came down to the foyer and was greeted with strong gusts of wind.I looked further,using my gifted vision just to find dark clouds covering the sky.Oh well,and so I decided not to stayback in school today although it was the last full day.Tomorow would be only half day.Since I'm using a bus service to get home,I had to wait for other people which requires a lot of patience.Luckily the weather was cool and so instead of feeling frustrated at people,I just sat down and enjoyed the wind,breeze.A few minutes later,I see a shift in weather.As if the gods have decided.It's time.I see the clouds moving rapidly..like in those I've seen in movies,followed by heavy rain.When I reached my grandparents house,I just fell asleep.And that was about 4.40pm.Slept till 5.30pm.It was still raining when I woke up and this means no tv.This is because my grandparents are very particular about no tv when raining.No tv.!I'm bored.This situation motivates me to sleep.So I just closed eyes.....

Restrictions.Although uneffective,school rules have restricted the classes from being turned into a casino.Or more accurate a home.The last few days at school is just so... boring.Everything is done.Syallabus completed.What we do is to come to school and attend add math class.What about other classes?We literally did nothing.Either sat around in groups or isolate ourselves.Those sitting in groups..playing cards,those isolated listening to music.heh anti social:D.Because it is so clear,Joel thought it would be best to record it.So he walked around with a camcorder.And mind you I find that really annoying,but I bear with it for memories sake.I would like to watch the video and say,that was the class I've been in.And I could say,"those were the good old days".Besides this,some people decided the library would be a better place.A better place to spend their day.So they became 'absent' for certain subjects.3 days,2days before end of school,whats the difference between the last.Rather not go to school,but I want my school magazine.hmf yea supposed to get it today but the authorities were not punctual.What to do?We have no right to complain...we are just students.no rights.would be shouted back if we do so at times.who wud take that risk!

Meaningful or not.U decide

How would you feel when you are waiting.waiting anxiously for a message,a mail with hopes that it would serve a purpose.Something significant or worth reading.After waiting for days,you finally did not only receive spam mails,but you receive forwarded messages.Those that have been circulating around the internet for like a kazillion times.

Something like this.
____________________________________________________________________
The Message is
really nice!!!


If you're mad with someone , and nobody's there to fix the situation... You fix it .
Maybe today, that person still wants to be your friend . And if u don't, tomorrow can be too late .

If you're in love with somebody , but that person doesn't know... tell her/him.
Maybe today, that person is also in love with you .
And if you don't say it, tomorrow can be too late .

If you really want to kiss somebody... kiss her/him.
Maybe that person wants a kiss from you, too . And if you don't kiss her/him today, tomorrow can be too late .

If you still love a person that you think has forgetten you... tell her/him.
Maybe that person have always loved you. And if you don't tell her/him today , tomorrow can be too late.

If you need a hug of a friend... ask her/him for it.
Maybe they need it more than you do. And if you don't ask for it today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you really have friends who you appreciate... tell them.
Maybe they appreciate you as well. That if you don't and they leave or go far away today , tomorrow can be too late.


If you love your parents, and never had the chance to show them... do it .
Maybe you have them there to show them how you feel. That if you don't and they leave today , then tomorrow can be too late.

SEND THIS MAIL TO EVERY PERSON YOU CARE ABOUT , INCLUDING THE ONE WHO SENT IT TO YOU. YOU'LL SEE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU , THAT YOU DIDN'T KNEW .

Forward it today... coz tomorrow can be too late...
____________________________________________________________________

I don't know... maybe if there wasn't those things at the end of these messages that often threatens us if we do not forward these messages I find these things quite significant.As a reminder perhaps.

Why moral test TODAY!?

Today is the 11th of October, and my last day of school would be the 15th of October.Which means I have only 4 more days to go...then bye bye to the school that I grew up in.heh.Fast?End of school means holiday?nope not for me.I have two weeks of 'no school' before the real thing.SPM.

This is the background.

So here ,I ask.What is the significance of a moral test today.?Why?I mean the report card is already filled up and might be given to us tomorow.Even ,the school magazine would be in my hands tomorow.Anyway this guy just gave us a boring two and a half hours.Write til hand no more energy.So sien some more.Oh and we had some background music.The primary sang 'Rasa Sayang' and we heard them.That broke the silence in the library.What would you do if you finish your paper?Some people would sleep,some would sit back and look around.A handful would check.I did all those.I was sleepy at the end so I put my head on the table for a while.Then suddenly I felt guilty,I checked.After I checked..there was still some time so I look around.then soon I doze off again..then I got up again.haih.

I wonder whether it is worth it to sit for it.I see nearly half of the f5's missing.Either went home during lunch or they never did come to school at all.

Food for thought.
Is attendance really that important right now?Or it is just us trying to get an excellent for attendance in our testimonials."maybe none of that at all.some might be forced to school by parents who have no idea what school is like at a time like this(finish syallabus,teacher don't care what you are doing)"

Quote

Quote,"What is the smartest thing to do when you can't do anything?".I said that..... and it was in one edition of my school magazine.That is creativity.Unfortunately ,this year ..the school does not leave us space for creativity.They just want details.That bothers me a lot.Really weird... why would they want the details.It is not like...anyone would contact a stranger they pick from the magazine.Only friends would want to know our contacts,but if they are friends, they would already have does information in hand.The more I think, the more I suspect that the school might be cooperating with syndicates.The school magazine is one way the school pass on the news without hiding behind shadows,it is the legal way.Hrm maybe one day,when any of our house experience any kind of robbery,burglary.. Whose fault?Anyway do not really hope anything like that would happen.Just shoring up the possibility.

Early 'earlybird'

Is it very usual for you to wake up very early on a Saturday?Of course not.I for one am already waking up too early 7+ because I have got to attend my add math tuition.Today, however was a special case.My parents got me up earlier,so to get me ready to make my passport.I went out to eat early and finished eating at about 7.50am.Then I arrived at the big building.Didn't bother to see what it is called.Reached at about 8am.There, the process of making a passport took me a long 1 hour.Maybe that isn't very long but for me it is.My first time making a passport.My whole family went and my siblings are not 17 like me.But they've got to make passports at an earlier age.An advantage but not that that I would be jealous off.One hour is very long!After finishing,I was so tired and I expected a ride home.Unfortunately,my mother said,"look at the time".Argh...I was so close.So then I had to start my day by attending my add math tuition.

Overdose

I know why I slept the whole day yesterday as if there was nothing else happening in the world.I just noticed today that I took tablets instead of tablets.On the plastic were the instructions saying once a day and I took it everytime after each meal meaning three times!!.No wonder I slept like a rock.Drug abuse.. an overdose.I spent that whole day doing absolutely nothing at all and if you asked me if I regret it,I would say...'it is fate la..'hahaha.Don't know why I can't be bothered to look at the instructions.I just take for granted all medicine is the same.Lucky this is not a heavy drug or something .If not I would be well on the way to hospital.If not, maybe I become a super thinking cap that can thrash Joel in chess.hahah :D

So I did not go school today.I am sick.So you think that with these you can conclude that I was at home today?Nope,I wasn't.I was at my grandparent's house sleeping the whole day.Maybe not the whole day ,but for most of the day.At least when most of my friends are studying in school and some might have finished school.One of the worst experience is to wake up just to eat and to take pills.And those pills are just medicine to relief fever not cure.The worst is ,those are drugs.We've been groomed to believe that drugs are never good.This is not true because in reality, we use drugs in our daily life.The truth is,we should be only made to believe that huge amounts of drugs are not good.Or should we rephrase it as too much of everything is not good?No ... that's not right.Too much money is not a bad thing.It is almost heavenly.So back to the point.I was sleeping and the weird thing is when i woke up,I cannot find dreamland.Actually I can't remember having a dream at all.It was just a long long sleep.

I'm sick!

I'm sick!It started off yesterday I think.I ate nasi lemak in school.Then when I went home ,I had curry for dinner.I knew then that I would suffer a sore throat and I did.Well all was well today till the afternoon.Suddenly I felt sick.I've got fever.So I slept for a while during moral class.Lucky there was moral class...I sometimes call it a time to breathe in between classes.Unfortunately the allocated time for one period is 40 minutes only.Because of the noise and so on i think i barely slept.Right after that ,was break,lunch break.And I played chess with Joel.Some teachers have the opinion that chess is stress.What do you think?.After playing this thinking game,10 minutes have passed so fast.And there,I hadn't had enough rest.The next two periods was add math.!No escaping that class... I was very lucky that the teacher was busy in the front of the class discussing some questions,giving me time to close my eyes a while.I also have a friend who was very lucky.Our add math teacher gave us some questions from Batu Lintang.And luckily it was not st3's because ,if it was he would have to get a 100% because he has said that he should get a hundred if given that specific paper.hahaha

I'm complaining

When it comes to the end of the year,english classes means to do all it takes to avoid writing essays,and that I did extremely well.Today,we were supposed to do reading for english.Usually this class would take place in the library.ahh..too bad the form 3's are sitting for their PMR in the library.So unfortunate for me that I did not bring a book to read.Even more unfortunate when my teacher said,"Those who don't have books to read write an essay.I will be walking around to see what books you are reading."The first thing that came to me was to avoid that,and so I did.A few other people who also shared the same fate as me did the same.We went to the store room which was just a door away from our class.We searched for books.Of course we did not expect much,but yea I got an astro guide with a cut up cover.Not a book!Since I had no choice,I had to take an O level book to read.Actually I find O level more interesting as there are other facts involved rather than only those in the syallabus.Anyway I managed to get away with it.I walked out carrying my 'story' book and read it for the rest of the period.

One more thing...my brother is going to finish PMR soon and after that,he is due for a trip to Kuala Lumpur.Damn I am jealous.Not that I've never been there..it is just the chance given to my year to go anywhere at all.This year ,we made it amazingly to an oil palm factory.This is so different when previous years they get to go to Melaka for a educational trip.Compare the cost people.I hope to claim some fees back.

Mother nature knows best.

Often we take pride in what we do.Actually most of the time.And that of course is a normal reaction,unless you are special.Special in a way that...describe yourself.That would be 'something wrong in the head'.We should take pride in what we do.Why? Because it shows confidence,and at times it shows innocent.If I did something wrong and insist that I am right,would anyone stand by my side?Well if you are not confident,people are sure to doubt you straightaway.How different is that when I am confident?.The difference is people will have second thoughts and give you the benefit of the doubt and you would have supporters even if you are wrong.This also certainly blends with an innocent face.If you see an innocent face speaking with confidence,do you think he will be telling a lie?

The answer is NO.And here is the catch.To lie with confidence is to lie acting that you don't know you are wrong.There is a card game called bluff,and it isn't a very good practice.This game is not confined only to 2 or four players.There can be many more.Everyone take turns and place any number of cards in the centre.If you were caught telling a lie,you will take all the cards accumulated in the centre.If not, then you would get away with it leaving the number of cards in the centre increasing.So if a lot is accumulated and on your turn you decided to bluff and you were caught,you will take all the cards.And that is bad because the objective is to finish all the cards.'So to be a winner you have to be a lying shit.'

And I am very surprised to find a lot of liars around.oh wait am I supposed to be surprised?
Is everybody a liar in nature?hehe

Face of the future

Have anyone wondered how humans will look like in 50 years time?Technology suggests that widespread use of digital enhancements in photos to improve photos is what people want their own face to look like.Redesigning a whole face is still some time off but maybe not too far.A 3d scanning tool which enable surgeons to experiment on faces without touching them.That makes their work much more neater.However this tool still cannot redesign a face.

This also suggests that what we look like in the future would be genetically programmed.So what do you think?You might not own your unique face anymore once people decides to do some surgery to copy yours.And somehow you will lose your identity.How would you like that?.We have the ability to do so,but the question is whether we want to go there or not.

Redesign faces or not?

Invitation

For the fun of it,many people act silly,stupid and sometimes really unpredictable.And that is what brings about memories of life.Those times would be those that win a place in our memory like after 10 or 20 years later.No one is going to remember the little things you do.They would however remember your achievements if you had 1 and moments when you made a fool out of yourself.You would also be remembered about how unique you are.Not that I'm encouraging people to act stupid or anything.Just know that what comes naturally is the real you and real friends appreciate that.

'If I want everything to be the same,there would be no variety,the world would be a boring place'

I will have nothing to laugh at.I will have nothing to gossip about.I would be happy enough to have one friend because they are all the same!It is like a world with robots ,doing what you want,with looks that to you look pretty or handsome.

Since this is the last year,I would like to invite friends that I know to my 17th b'day party on the 2nd of December.Some of my friends are my classmates for more than a decade and yet haven't been to my house.I may be considered a loner for some but still I am a reasonable friend.Maybe as a meeting, before we go our separate ways.
*notice,this invitation is two months right before my b'day*hmm will give the real invitation soon.

Dream on forever

Do you notice that this is some sort of art?haha.!

Distance away I see you smile,
Reaching my heart,
Ending with a note,
A note,
My dream come true.

On the spot I feel revived,
Now I'm satisfied until........

FOREVER
