uuuhh...dizzy

Knock Knock!

Man, I hit my head twice! One was a whack by a hand, and the other a bump on the bus's overhead compartment. The headache, dizziness and heaviness lasted for almost a week! Thank God I've recovered.

Hmm.. ever since the hols began, I found nothing to blog about, do, or think. This is really some kind of post-exam syndrome, a kind of premature mid-life crisis. Sigh.. at least there was a trip to Pangkor to kill my boredom. Oh, pics at jienhan.shutterfly.com

yawn...

Where is God? Where?

Stricken
Five years ago, or maybe three, I found a white spot on each of my elbows. Turned out I have Vitiligo (google it). And recently, it has worsened. It hit me hard. "What???!!!!!", I yelled silently,"I have a still-incurable ailment??!!". I feel like crying everyday but only did a couple of times. This is one of the worst puishments ever. Who wants to lose his skin pigment? Especially when it happens gradually. It would be less damaging mentally if it went all as once. But I can picture myself turning pure white with just the pinkiness of my blood below my skin showing. Why does this happen? Medicine says its the genes. In other words, a curse.

Where is God? I've been praying and repenting over and over again to no avail. For almost 6 years now, and it has worsened instead, even though it stopped for a short while. I ask in anger, "Why me? Why not the terrorists who murder innocent people? Why not the corrupt people who cause hurt? Why not the cheaters? Why not the bullies? Why not the gangsters? Why not the drug pushers? Why not the child abusers? Why not those who dump their babies? Why not Osama?". And it has to be me.

Only tonight did I find some comfort in the Word, with some help from the "Purpose Driven Life" book. Maybe it's because I had not been strong in Him, took things for granted and Vitiligo was the best way to bring me to my senses. Isaiah says," The Lord has hidden himself from his people, but I trust Him and place my hope in Him."(Isaiah 8:17). Maybe it's to make me realise the deeper mistakes and attrocities in me that I had not paid attention to. Maybe it's to reinforce my hope and trust in Him in times of great trouble, which this really is. Comfort, there may be when I had reveiwed my life, as " The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."(Psalm 34:18). I am crushed. Only made worse when the word incurable is given. Who would understand this thing? Even if it's not contagious, which normal human wouldn't look twice before approaching? I wouldn't want to think what I'll go through in a few years.

In all these complaints, I am thankful that I'm healthy otherwise. I am thankful that I'm alive. I'm thankful to have a family, a shelter, education, food, stable finances and a great country to live in. For now I know, you'll never know that God is all you need until God is all you've got.

"I need your healing touch, God. In Christ's Name, Amen."

Wierd Stuff

Alien or terrestrial?
I found this marks on the floor of my kitchen. I suspect its caused by some insect, but which one? Calling all entomologists, please help! Here's another look.Gaaa!

What STPM trials do to you...

Yes. I think that's me.

C a n ' t ......g o ..........o n........

I have no more energy to take on the STPM. Am I giving up? I don't know. But now I'm having a furious headache which lasted 4 days ago. Study so much and what's the outcome? Nothing. Nothing!!!! Forget it.

Condolences and Regrets
My deepest condolences to the folks of New Orleans. A terrible disaster has descended upon the city and I pray conditions will be for the better. 20 feet of water, that's what's being reported. Whole houses and businesses swept away. One picture of a stadium flooded was shown on the news. You could only see the stands. I could only imagine the suffering this hurricane has brought.

pss...pss...
The USA. The world's superpower has failed to evacuate the city? What had happened? It's is very unbelievable that the hurricane has taken the city by surprise. They have so many satellites that I worry that a crash will happen someday. They could detect the earthquake last 26th December in S.E.A. . And yet, people perished in a detected hurricane. Why? Mr. Bush has a lot of explaination to do. Even the mayor swore on national TV. Why has the government taken so long to respond? Many question the whereabouts of the aid promised. No evacuation plan was made. USA has space technology, but where are the machinery required to provide the much needed power? No one actually took a second look at the levies and strengthen them. Right now while writing this, I am listening to a very angry mother on CNN who is a hurricane victim. Mr. President, you'd better respond.

Malu, they invaded Iraq, refused to pay debts to UN and now they need help. Bah!

Happy Birthday, Malaysia!

Tanggal 31, Bulan 8 57!
The parade? One of the best and most meaningful ever =) Good job! Good weather! No more words to describe the morning other than these, hehe. Happy birthday, Malaysia!

Recipie! ---- Baked Potatoes

How do you make a hearty breakfast/dinner dish? Let me show you how. =) My very own experiment.

Ingredients :
4 potatoes, spring onion, oregano (dried), Tabasco sauce, extra virgin olive oil, lemon, pepper.


Steps:

1. Peel the potatoes. Then, cut them into smaller pieces.

2. Boil the potatoes in salt water until you can drive your knife through them easily. 3. Put the potatoes into a bowl and mash them completely.

4. Cut a lemon and squeeze the juice into the potatoes to your taste.

5. Add chopped spring onion, Tabasco sauce and olive oil to the potatoes. To your taste.

6. Mix thoroughly.

7. Spread the mashed potatoes in a baking tray, or in my case, a metal plate.

8. Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes show a golden colour. (I used 250°C)

9. Serve! With toast, egg, etc... can also add butter if you want.

Ok, the colour of the dish in the picture may not look smooth, but it tastes good! How's that for a beginner's first time full fledged cooking? Feedback is most welcomed. Bon appetit!

Winds Of Change

Truly Clear
At last, the days of acrid smell is over and it had better stay that way. It rained! And from 1 Utama, you can finally see way out until the Telekom building in the far distance. It really felt nice when small drops of sky juice hit my face. Somehow the winds changed and now the smoke is headed up north. Sorry, northern states. It actually hurts when the papers reported that some farmers are still burning padi stalks up north. Some kind of education and extra funding should be given to help them change their ways.




Here's another view that's blessedly clear of haze.






Say Who?
Talking about winds of change. Not only did the winds actually change direction, the stories in the news did too! It is an article from The Star today (17 August 2005) which says that Malaysian planters in Indonesia did not start any fires. How did Indonesia come to a conclusion that they did the last time? This openly suggests that Indonesia is playing the convenient blame game. When we complain about their actions, they simply say, "It's your own fault! Don't blame us..". Ah, the fibbers. What a big show of the so-called ASEAN spirit. What great neighbourliness. Nonsensical stories made up by their press is the thanks we get for lending a hand to put out their own fires.

What Say?

Explain this
(Article from the New Straits Times, 12 August 2005) This is simply unacceptable. How can this excuse saying that "it is a lifestyle that cannot be changed" be used? It is like saying we have been going to war with spears and stones for centuries, therefore we cannot switch to guns as it is difficult to stop using our own sticks and stones. It is somehow very illogical to be unable to educate the planters to switch to less destructive methods of land clearing as Indonesia has such a huge population. They are able to recruit more law enforcers as their economy is now improving. Indonesia is a member of the OPEC and therefore they have the energy to conduct surveillance. Malaysia is also an agriculture country. We have long forbid slash and burn methods even though there is a handful who are still ill-informed. Did our agriculture activities suffer? No! In fact, it flourished as there is less pollutants in the air which inhibits proper plant growth. If Indonesians cannot change their ways, why on earth do we provide help to them? It is clearly wasting our efforts as well as risking our firemens' lives. Maybe if we could hold our breath for a longer time, we should wait until there's nothing left to burn in Sumatera. Only then, the air will clear. For a very long time.

Traitors
Oi! These people are overboard! How can our own countrymen across the Straits do this to their homeland? Don't they know what is happening here? Malaysian cops should hop over there and throw all of them into jail, lock up their businesses and fine them. This is very shameful, with the fact that everyone is pointing their fingers at the Indonesians. These Malaysian firms better stop this heinous act as the world thinks we are actually self-destructing. What a shame.

Darkness Comes And Goes

Still Dark
The haze actually lifted in the morning, increasing visibility to a little more than 1km as compared to yesterdays horror. That is the INTAN building in the distance. About 250 schools have closed today and are to close tomorrow too. However, at about 1pm, the winds shifted and the haze is back, blanketing the city again in thick smoke. Even the smell is in every building, air-conditioned or not. Quite a number of minor accidents also occurred due to poor visibilty. I noticed that the postman in my area does not wear a mask. I hope Pos Malaysia will remind their personnel to wear them as well as provide the masks. Today, many people have slammed the Indonesians over the haze. We are tired of helping them douse their own fires as reoccurence is the thanks we get. So what if they have the death penalty for the culprits? No one seems to be executed just yet and the fires rage on. KL has offered to send help. Hopefully the Indonesians have a change in attitude and cease to let us suffer because of their people's inconsiderate actions.

Genius!
This is a really good idea by him to keep from breathing in the unhealthy air! =) It should be marketed. Really.



(The Sun, 11 August 2005, front page)

Haze Worsened

Suffocating
The air has worsened tremendously today, the visibility at a low of 300m. From the Universiti roundabout, the INTAN building disappeared from sight. The air smells worse and people started choking and their eyes watering. My eyes hurt now. What students do not understand is why the Government can't declare an emergency at this point of time. They can hardly pay attention to the lessons and the teachers can't speak at their normal volume. The Ministry should note that schools are not so fortunate to have air conditioners to use. If the situation worsens tomorrow, students cannot be blamed for skipping school. The schools are given the liberty to shut down but there's a catch. The off days have to be replaced on Saturdays. Let me ask, if the haze does not lift until December, would we replace the days next year? Will students be expelled for not attending classes in order to protect their own health? Why do schools demand Medical Certs from these students? Who wants to pay a doctor just to get a piece of paper? This problem in the administrations should be looked into now before anything worse happens.

There were a few blessed drops of rain that fell on P.J. . Please pray for a full monsoon blast that should be here during this season. Slight hail also hit Subang Jaya. What a phenomenon!

Smoked

Who Moved The Mountain?!
Try to look in the distance. Where is the mountain and the condominium? The photo was taken from the same location as yesterday's. Today's condition is the worst ever since the smoke hit us. Visibilty's down to a low of approximately 700m. In certain parts of Subang, you can't see things clearly beyond 500m. The air smells as if you're the one burning away. Are we being smoked out of our country? The Indonesians have admitted that a large portion of the haze came from Sumatra due to open burning. We hope that the authourities there could put a stop to the irresponsible act. We too have the problem with peat fire. Good luck and many thanks to the firemen out there doing their best. We have reportedly managed to douse 70% of active blazes in the hot spots. The picture on the left shows how bad visibilty is. There is supposed to be a mountain and a condominiumin the distance which are about 1km away. Even the tree slightly in the distance which is easily 100m away appears grey. There is one thing I saw which ticked me off. As I walked along some shops in front of a college, many people were puffing away. They do not seemed disturbed by the present haze and now they are working to thicken the smoke. Somehow, I don't see them thinking about the health of others. We should not be so lenient about human rights. We non-smokers also have our rights to obtain clean air if not less dangerous air. The police should let non-smokers snuff out any cigarettes at our discretion.

Surprising!
"The Star" published an article (page 4, main section) entitled "Open burning in Klang Valley banned" today (9th August 2005). What does that mean? Does the Department Of Environment mean that they had been endorsing some open burning before? They had better explain it soon before an inquiry is launched.

Overexcited Chemistry Procedure

The Big Hair
Take a look at the lamp post. Bad hair day huh? It is found in Section 19 P.J. . I wonder how the authourities allow such a mess to perch over the public. It is time to clear that up and show our neatness in all that we do. That is a little too dangerous. Imagine a bird that landed up there and touching a live wire. I bet its feathers will look like that.





How's The Air?
It's clear skies today at 5.30 pm! A very drastic difference from the condition this morning. At about 9.30 am, the Telekom Tower was hardly visible from Section 12. The air was choking and we prayed that the school would do us some good by aborting all classes immediately. Ah, and once again, the lime juice has worked its miracle again! My throat feels fine after the drink even though the acidity of the fruit was a little too high. Hint: don't ask for kurang gula!



The Overexcited Chemistry Procedure
The chemical test today was a success! We managed to pin point the existence of the chloride ion in the unidentified salt. First, we saw the misty fumes of HCl when we added sulphuric acid. Then the silver nitrate test gave us the white precipitate that dissolves in aqueous ammonia. Finally, we did a brave test (The T.L.K. style). We added the solid salt with potassium dichromate (VII) with concentrated sulphuric acid. Berjaya! Red fumes which came out confirmed the chloride ion. However, it kept generating. Frantic actions brought the T.L.K. waving the test tube around, with the thing still smoking. Then, the smoke died as the chemicals were drowned in water. Ah, the experience! Now, we have to monitor ourselves as we could have breathed in much toxins. And look at my hands. Either the sulphuric acid nibbled at my fingers or the silver nitrate oxidised on it. Scary...

Haze Woes

---Photos included from now!---

The haze is bad. As you strain your eyes, the mountain in the background is just about 1 km away from where I stand as the crow flies. The air is saturated with burning smell as if someone is burning dry leaves next to me. The dust got into my eye and after rubbing, a stye developed. How's that! Got a problem with dry throats and scared of getting sick? Never fear, just go prepare a lime juice on the rock every day sans excessive sugar. It'll help you get through. Man, I just imagine a fan as big as Melaka blowing all the smoke away from KL (the invention of T.L.K.). And where is the rain? The SW monsoon should be raging now but not a single drop of water from the sky has reached earth. As we can see, the weather must be crazy. We ought to hack into the eco-system and turn on the rain command. (based on the theory of K.N.M.) =) How about that.

Ah, either the USD appreciated again or the MYR went down. Its RM3.7954 to USD1 ! What happened? The King's passing and the oil fluctuations? The air in Malaysia had scared investors? What?

Oil Prices Up

Petrol prices soar by 10 sen! I got a shock when I saw RM1.62 per litre glaring at me from the digital display at the petrol pump. No one sent any SMS this time to alert about the hike, darned. However, we still have one of the lowest petrol prices in the region. The Gov. declares petrol subsidies of over RM6 billion. Thank you for that.

Come to think of it, instead of gritting our teeth over the increase, we should be thinking of effective ways of reducing petrol dependancy. It is high time we actually make Hydrogen fueled engines available. Since we are into making us into a developed nation, let's get the research going and introduce a new automotive industry. Get the ASEAN to collaborate. What nation wouldn't want a piece of the pie? It looks delicious..

Child Psycology:
A child looks at two cabbages and asks his father what they are. He says,"This one is a round cabbage, and that is a Chinese cabbage. Can you tell me the difference between the two?". The child replies,"Well, one is round and the other one is Chinese.". Father laughs and says,"Very good!".

The kid isn't entirely wrong. It is undoubtedly true that one is round and the other originated from China. Even if the child is correct, he has to be told the meaning of what he said plus the correct contextual meaning of the situation. Children have to be taught the correct things from young even if we think that they may not understand us. You'd be pleasantly surprise that children pick up what we say and approve fast enough to carry it through their lives. Go easy on the jokes as they may think that some of them are for real and understand things the wrong way. Admire but do not take child-like faith for granted.

----Breaking news in the papers: Sky Kingdom lost its grandeur!---- what....?

Hullabaloo

What's all this hype about APs? Ayah Pin out of the picture please.. What's all this brouhaha about NEP? What's this second bombing in London? What's all this bombing in Cairo of all places?

First of all, I'm sunburnt. This is the effect of standing in the blazing sun for 4+ hours yelling,"1 dollar 2 tries!!". If you're asking, the guys of U6S3 were manning a wire loop game at the school's carnival. I and another were desperately advertising to increase revenue (we managed RM140, not bad!). I'm red and itching all over..darned.. "1 dollar 2 tries!!!". Maybe we'll make it as the next apprentices..

20,000+ APs for a single fella? Hmmm... I don't know much about this business but isn't it alright since importing 20,000 cars seem reasonable for the industry? But if we're looking at 100,000+, that's a little too much. We might as well have the entire factory come here and churn out the 100,000 cars and forget Proton. Tun was right in enquiring about this. Not to say that I'm against importing cars but we have to look at the benefits and the discrepancies that occur during the proccess. By the way, aren't we supposed to reduce pollution of the air? Hmm... the Department Of Environment should at least have something to say there!

I'll be darned. Why are we suddenly talking about bringing back the NEP? Have we not accomplished the goals? We should be holding hands and raise the economic level to a new high together, not compete with one another. And to you, chinese press, like the PM said, don't conclude on anything yet until everyone has stated his case. Don't do anything dumb.

Please, where is the love? A second bombing in London just proves that this is the work out bored, dumb people. They found that bombs create the loudest noise and they help to make their presence felt at the cost of innocent lives. Bombing in Cairo? Wait, Egypt hasn't disturbed anyone yet, I believe. Why bomb there? You bombers have just ruined my holiday plans to go there. Idiots. Why don't these bombers do the world some good by pressing for the distruction of nuclear weapons?

Ah, some relief. The Ringgit should appreciate to about RM3.20 to $1 US. It better be true!

Breaking News, Ringgit Unpegged!

Ringgit finally unpegged!! Good or bad?

The exchange rate for RM to USD may go down, rendering the USD cheaper. Goods from US will be cheaper and I can finally get those books I'd longed for. Oil will be cheaper if we're talking about buying in the USD.

However, other countries may jack up to avoid the loss. China also unpegged and this may cause China's goods to be more expensive. We may actually lose out because most of the things are made in China, like Nike. Bank Negara has also said that the exchange rate may not deviate much from the time of being pegged. It will be managed against a basket of currencies. So, we'll just have to wait for 24 hours to see how the Forex will be.

The question is : why can't we let our RM be free of the control of agreements between trade partners? That way, we could generate a more realistic trade setting and shake off a bulk of currency occupation by the Northern countries. It may seem old fashion but it is the long-sought after goal of this country. On the other hand, it may seem sensible to give in to certain demands as our economy is just on the verge of being mature.

Money and intelligence = ?

Pooh! Band 5 for MUET? Impossible I can't comprehend comprehension passages...c'est non-sens...j'dore le francais plus...

Ok, let's not talk about that. This is an interesting sight I saw today. The entire two-lane road from the SPRINT toll near Section 17 was jammed. "Why?", you ask. As I approach the bridge over the monsoon drain, I saw the yellow arm of a crane nest to a lamp post. I squinted to look at the nest at the top of the arm. There were 2 men moving around at in the basket. I thought some huge truck took out the lamp post and they were putting up a new one while clearing the debris. As I approached the site, I frowned. The men were holding some poles and waving them around. Guess what they were doing. Yes, they were painting!! Right in the middle of the road during a lunch rush hour! Where on earth are their intelligence? Some people must have given them enough money to encourage them to do the work a little too enthusiastically. Imagine if their painting job continues into the rush hours of the evening. The entire Damasara road will look like a stationary glowing snake from the air. Where is their common sense to do all maintainance after dark? Money is used to paint lamp posts when their metal bodies are very unlikely to rust. How about starting to think about filling up pot-holes? They post a greater danger to motorists rather than a not so attractive lamp post. Funny...

Quite a bloody week...

First of all, let me express my deepest condolences to the families of the London blasts victims. It was a very cowardly act by those responsible.

It was a bloody(adj) week. First, my rat bled to death on Friday. I was to try to dissect out the jugular vein but as I was clearing the muscles, I poked a vessel. making things worse, I extracted the heart with the trachea and lungs still attached, and suddenly I had an almost real open heart surgery. I had blood on my hands and I could hear the ECGs going red. The funny thing is, I was laughing. Sorry rat, but the learning proccess was kind of amusing. =)

Again, let me say that the London blasts were cowardly. Why would people blow the innocent apart? If you hate the government, blow up the government. Even bombing military sites are more proper as they are armed and have a chance to defend. DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT TO INVOKE ANY ANTI-GOVERNMENT FEELINGS AND NOT TO SUGGEST ANY FORM OF VIOLENCE. IT IS AN EXPRESSION OUT OF ANGER AND DISGUST TOWARD THE BOMBINGS. Killing passers-by is murder. If the terrorists claim to wage a religious war, they are not true to their own religion. What religion tells us to kill others? They must be believing in the d*vil himself. Religious terrorists?? BAH!!!

Go away terrorists. You cannot make a difference. Many have come to their senses. Look at the IRA. They have the guts to lay down their arms and talk things through. Look at India and Pakistan. India has changed their admin and now things look better. They are not terrorists. They are not your allies. You childish bombers have no sense to know that you have just waged war against yourself. You cannot blame any form of retalition ammounting to war once the world has identified you. Thank you for uniting us. We will get you, no doubt. Where could you go? The moon?


Sigh...What a week...

Vandals deserve mutilation

I feel for victims of vandals in Malaysia and the rest of the world. I can hardly contain my anger and hatred towards these bunch of universal rubbish after some idiotic punk took out one of my dad's wing mirror.

These useless group of people (unfortunately they are classified as people) deserve to be tied up and forced to see their victims start to take out on their own property. They have no sense of the value of money. Can you imagine that one mirror costs a couple of hundred Ringgit? I would like to cut them little by little on their bodies slowly and painfully while lecturing them on their wrong-doings. My case happened at an open-air car park in a nearby mall. I am personally thankful that the management took some effort to erect watch towers with guards in the car park. Sigh... what meant to be a fun Sunday outing turned into a angry and expensive one.

(Simulated situation)
I want to work with the guards. Sit high up in the watch tower with a 50 calibre. Spot a dark figure taking out a screwdriver/crowbar/rock. Find the range with a laser range finder. Take aim through tritium-lit sights. Calculate angles, wind and gravity compensation. Fire. See the heavy bullet rip through his sternum. See his eyes and mouth open wide in silent shock. Look up from the rifle and shake my head at the fall of a vandal who had no time to respond, be arrested and repent. No remorse from me as I was doing my job to protect property and harmony.

If only there was such a legal law enforcement unit.

Mortuareally Morbid...

Another rat today! This time, it was the ol' rat we drowned in formalin the last time. When we lifted it out of the solution, the fella stank in a way no words can describe. Skin was yellow due to formalin, the muscles were white like steamed chicken meat but very much tougher, and the skin's texture puts Michelin rubbers to shame. Imagine having to cut out deader than dead tissue out of a very wet mummified rodent. Gaaa!
My visit to the dissecting room in the Med Fac in UM was very much better. At least the smell was more decent. The only thing that creeped me was there were huge freezers labelled "liver", "kidney".... God knows what other spare parts they kept... one can only imagine what horrific mutilation went on in there... To enhance the effect, the room was built in the early days of UM, so it's gloomy, faded yellow walls, discoloured small blue square tiles, and had wooden frames for doors. Shivers..

Come over to the shady side..cough..cough..

For a while I thought I would grow out of the Jedi community. However, after seeing the transformation of Anakin to the Vader, I somehow started taking up an imaginary saber and started twirling around, slashing the many Imperial troops around me and hearing the nice hum of the blade. Then I see cool Vader talking to me and the rough sounds of his breathing entices me over to the darker side...the prenumbra of the cabinet near me...

Calling all engineers and physicists,
I want that saber! Is it possible to make one? We have invented 3D holograms for telcos already. The saber blade should be an easy feat for laser enthusiasts. Control the intensity so that it is not harmful to the eyes and the length of the blade should be able to be controlled too. Of course, don't develop blades of light that actually scorches and dismember people...

I went hunting for merchandise of the SW and found some relatively cool sabers. Their hum follow your movement and the fluorescent tubed blade glows like the "real" thing. Unfortunately, the blade can't retract! Blow... Shrugging the issue off, I saw another one and this one can retract. But when extended, it looked like an umbrella with its plastic cover on! Sigh..

Sabers aside.
It's actually not the movie that brought me back to my Yodaian days. It was actually the closing track of the soundtrack that revived that nostalgic feeling. The call of the Rebels is unforgettable. I want to thank J. Williams for the many themes and music that had brought a whole new lifestyle to the world. Of course, cheers to Lucas! He has set our minds to percieve how the future would look like. Which party would you choose then?I would definitely jump into Vaders suit. Start a belief like a Sith. Draw people with the mind. And like a toon said,"Son, come over to the shady side...". (Vader's sound): breath, breath...

Ratz!

Haha! We've finally dissected a rat! The rodent smells like chicken but much more stronger smelling. Frustrating it is when the bloody rat bloody bled at the slightest bleeding smallest cut. Scientist say that they are the closest resemblance to our anatomy but in our case, we were looking at the most alien GI tract ever. Over numbered liver lobes, a grey pancreas (supposed to be yellowish?), greenish guts, an odd looking bladder and a bubble on the stomach (rat with stomach cancer?). Too bad I didn't have a camera with me. Would love to post the pic for a post mortem.

However hard it is, I loved my rat. It gave me a complete anatomy, and had clear view of almost everything as I prodded the innards. Muahahahaha, hi there U6S3! I can't wait for next week to empty the thorax of its pinkish contents =) But darned, my hands tremble a bit... maybe its the rat playing mind games on me...

Report Card Day in 3 days!

Argh!! Help! SOS!
I need therapy! Why do sixth formers need to have a hari terbuka? We got slaughtered for the last exams and now this? Is this a conspiracy to stuff our morale down the bowl? This is definitely not good as we are going to hear screams, groans, complaints, and perhaps some profanities on friday when the truth is revealed. The red marks on the records will be transferred to our skin in no time (you know what that means!). Why, why, WHY!!!

To make make matters worse, now there's some rumours about STPM students having to join uniformed bodies to gain entry into the unis! This is impossible! The era of marching and pumping are supposed to be long gone and forgotten. We are supposed to study till we bleed and now they are threatening to take us down just because some bright soul had his suggestion taken into consideration. Why not let us put them into our shoes and let them feel the many many kPa-s pounding our head every night when we struggle to stuff infinite amounts of info into our brains? Where is the love ya'll?

Wisdoms makes you wiser?

Ouch! Rant...rave....

My entire left lower jaw itches! As my wisdom tooth emerges from the subterranean environment in my gum, it manifests its revenge by causing pain, swelling and itch. Why is it called the wisdom tooth? It tells the age? Man, I don't to be reminded that my pre-adulthood days are over so soon. Does it indicate that a new level of wisdom has been installed from above? I still can't figure out what decomposes decomposers. I still have three more calcium impregnated structures inside my jaws laughing and just waiting to burst out...

Bates

Ah, just found a seemingly promising method for getting rid of the spectacles! Dr. Bates claims that we can retrain the eyes so that the cillary muscles can contract and relax again. Many people claim that his methods have worked for them! I wouldn't mind trying it out hehehe if it can make me into my leng chai state again...

Acmabooks is selling the book at RM50. Not bad for a near cure to myopia. Should I invest?
