Are rich people getting prettier?

"Are rich people getting prettier?" This question suddenly flashed through my mind when I'm on my way back to UTP. First of all, I'll talk about the title. What I mean is "will the current generation or the next generation or next next generation or next next next generation from a rich family which continues to remain wealthy from generation to generation becomes more attractive in appearance?"

If a guy or lady is rich, he/she will have money to buy some cosmetics for makeup. He/She will have the money to buy fancy clothes and other adornments.

If a guy or lady is rich, he/she will have money for plastic surgery and other alternatives to lose weight, to get taller or others.

If a guy or lady is rich, he/she will most probably marry a beautiful wife/husband. This means that their child may be prettier due to the other life partner's genes.

But most rich guys or ladies are stuffed with "nutrients" by their parents when they were children and they will continue eating with a big appetite and grow fat.

And, most rich guys or ladies prefer to enjoy their life in their comfortable environment than going for sports, games which makes them look "tak bersemangat" and they can't get slimmer.

So, what's your opinion?



(No offense to anyone who is rich!)

My Ambition

Since young, I dreamed to become a famous inventor, just like Thomas Edison or a famous artist like Leonardo Da Vinci. Anyway, when I grew older, I realised that my dream is a dream because I think I can't work for it. FIFA World Cup 2002 made me a football fan. My passion for football once made me dreaming of being a national team football player but being a rational student, my answer is "nope, I won't!"

At the age of 16, I started having the interest towards engineering as I began to watch some National Geography and Discovery programmes at that time. And, I liked to do some small, peculiar but useless stuff with sticks, papers and rubber bands. I tried many but only a few were successfully produced and one of them was my rubber ball. Considering all these, I think I like Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronic actually, to be more specified) as it involved movement. Anyway, I also like architecture, astronomy, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Too many things already, I think. So, suddenly there was a question orbitting around my head. Is it that I actually like new knowledge and too much exposure to programmes and new things about ME led me to the wrong thought that I like ME?

Until now, actually, I think I still hold tight onto my first ambition---inventor. I like to design things although I'm not good at it. I like to solve problems that made everyone's brain swell. So, I like to learn new but easy things that other people seldom do. To conclude all in a nutshell, I think I just like to earn respect from others and be remembered until maybe 200 years later. And the strange part is I seldom take money as a factor in deciding my ambition.

Ist of March

I'm 18 now, quite old for cartoons already but I still like cartoons. And now, I can watch some cinema movies that some of my friends cannot. Haha.

It's my first birthday away from home. At 12 am on the 1st of March, my friends were singing birthday song for me. As most of them only knew my birthday that midnight, there were no presents. And, they suggested to let me play an interesting game as my present. They filled a paper with names and pasted it on the door. The light was off. They started asking questions and asked me to throw the darts to see which name was struck. We couldn't stop laughing as their questions were so silly and funny.

This year, quite a few friends back in Alor Star remembered my birthday and I appreciated it a lot. My family sent me a birthday card. Although I haven't received it yet (hostel supervisor says letter will only reach in 3 weeks), I was so touched. I wanted to go home. My sister promised to give me a treat. Hahaha.

At 11pm on 01/03/09, I watched the Carling Cup final, Manchester United vs Tottenham Hospur. My birthday ended with Manchester United lifting the Carling Cup trophy.

I'm 18 now. New goals need to be set and there are lots of things I need to learn and improve upon.
