Apple

I started to like eating apples when I'm in Form 4, both green and red. I think it started like this : "Why the apples in the fridge are left to be rotten everytime? Eat more fruits, please!" My father and mother always urged me and my siblings to have more fruits and vegetables. So, I pay heed to that advice and now I'm slightly addicted to apples.

Another factor is I like to peel apples. I learnt how to peel an apple from my mom and sis. I noticed that everytime they don't let the apple's skin torn off until almost the whole apple is peeled off the skin. Therefore, I tried and tried and finally I succeeded. Haha. I used to watch TV while peeling the apple but now apples are hardly available here in UTP. Besides, I also eat apples on my way to my tuition. I like doing so because first, as a dessert after dinner and second, it prevents my mouth(breath) from getting stink.

The consequences of eating apples are first, never have constipation and second, I'll be getting further away from Chia Soon, Yin, Min Yee, Megat, Tamim, Nazrin and Wan Khalis they all. It is because of the saying, "An apple a day, keep the doctor away!" So, sorry for my doctor friends.

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.

Acidic Saliva

Few days ago, I suddenly recalled a scene from the movie "Jurassic Park". The scene is that the saliva from the T-Rex dinosaur seems sizzling when it drops to the ground. It's probably showing that the saliva is either corrosive or hot. And, I assume it to be acidic. I wonder is it because the T-Rex is a carnivore and makes prey of other huge dinosaurs only, and so it should have highly acidic saliva for enzymes like protease to digest proteins. Maybe it is just that the movie wants to highlight the T-Rex "superiority". Or is it just a figment of my imagination and there is no this particular scene in Jurassic Park?

Am I?

I always think that I'm a kind friend and always considerate and care for people's feelings. But recently, I realised that I'm actually not that kind of person. Is it that in the old times when I made fun of my friends and my friends said nothing? Or it depends on people to determine whether what I'm doing is over the limit?

I had a friend who is very nervous and he wants confirmation for everything, twice or thrice. Sometimes, when I'm focusing on something, he kept asking me things. Recently, I actually showed my frustrated expression to him. And, he kept saying sorry for that. And not long after that, he told me that he is going to leave my school as he is not suitable for engineering. I kind of feeling guilty for that. Is it because of my reluctancy to help him that causes him to think like that?

And I dunno whether I'm feeling guilty now or feeling scared that actually all people had that impression towards me. Am I a considerate person? Am I? I kept self-reflecting and suddenly I found I had a lot to do to improve my attitude towards friends and other people.

First Blog Here

(-o-) , so sleepy...

I slept late almost every night recently. My definition for late is 1 to3 am. Don't get scared. It's not because of assignments or revisions. I just went to my friends' room to waste time. I found myself lazy and I just can't get back into school life for the moment.

Anyway, I've learnt some new things or I should say starting learning. For now, I'm learning swimming (free style) and I'd paid RM50 to get a new Speedo goggle from Tesco. Actually, I'd just learnt once, planning for the second. I've never touch anything related to music before and now I'm learning flute in Chinese Orchestra. Amazed with people solving the rubik cube, I bought a cheap one too, still struggling.

One thing that I feel relieved here is that I can watch FOOTBALL here. Haha. We had a common room with a FEW Astro channels. Each person has to pay RM5 per semester for that, COMPULSORY. However, I usually watch football match in the V6 cafe in UTP.

My friends in Alor Star kept attracting me to go back. There're messages like these that I receive:

"I cannot sleep lo tonight because I want to go Genting tomorrow already ..."
"There'll be a gathering in CSC's house ... but sorry, I forget you are in UTP."
"I'm in CSC's home now. Very happy with others ..."

Specially for the one who "terasa": Don't force me to run back! I'll jump over the fence, get away from the security, climb over the mountains, cross the rivers, pass the jungle and run all the way back to ..... you.
