Courage

My sis sent me a video link 2 days ago :

http://www.malaysiakini.tv/?vid=1372

Well, this video depicts of a few students from UPM protesting against the authorities of UPM for misusing their powers. It seems that the UPM security 'special duties unit' supervisor Zamali Haji Samsi had confiscated a student's laptop and had refuse to issue an inventory of possessions following confiscation of that particular student's belongings, which means acting without the proper procedure.

All I have to say is kudos to all these brave students for having the courage and wisdom to fight for the basic rights of students! Its about time students ( especially Chinese ) stand up against these uncivilized frauds. Now I see the benefits for studying PA ( Pengajian Am ) and Perlembagaan, which is to fight for our own legal rights especially when facing problems like this. We must show the authorities we are no longer the timid generation that is afraid of authority. We are the educated ones and are pretty much aware of each and every right we have, as stated in the constitution. So back off and stop bullying us!

Well, congrats again to these brave young students. I see future leaders in each and every one of them regardless of politics, science or any other fields. I hope that the authorities will b aware that we students are prepared to face proper actions, but if we smell any false actions ....you'll see us charging right at you in no time!

p.s. I hope to see something like this happen in High School some day, but of course for the right reason. That should be exciting and I'll have something extra to blog about! Hee hee!

Oyishii~

Kombawa! Wow, just came back from one of the best Japanese meal I ever had, courtesy to my granduncle! FYI, my granduncle treated my family and other few relatives to an amazing Japanese meal at 'Matsuda' restaurant located at Sri Hartamas ( I have no idea where is this place, thanks to my disability to recognise roads and places lol, although I'm very sure its either in KL or Selangor, no where else haha ) Anyway, it was a great feast, tasted lots of new Japanese cuisine like edamame ( soy bean ), pork's ear and salmon fish head to name a few. Lol.

Anyway, I officially announce that a new err...food has been added into my list of Favourite Food, which is..... Soft shell crab!!

Today was the first day i tasted Soft Shell Crab Temaki.
One word,
AWESOME!!

We also ate lots like Chashu Ramen, Avocado Temaki, Tempura ( my all time inchiban (no. 1)!! ), Sashimi ( whish was also awesome...super fresh! Especially the cuttlefish! So sweeeeeeetttttt!! ) and many many others!

Oh yah, not forgetting this is my first time drinking sake!!

Drank nearly 10 little glasses of it. Taste like red wine.
Lucky didn't get drunk. xD
But then everytime drink also feel the stomach like burning, wonder why...

Well, I didn't know that 1 big bottle of it cost more than RM100++ O.o. Oh well, my granduncle is rich so...who cares? Ishioni nomimashio!! Kanbai!!

Besides that, I also had a great time listening to stories from my uncle (Ah Wee...I have no idea wad his full name is lol). He has a great memory power because he can actually remember events that happened almost 30 years ago, like the story where he lost one of my uncle's football boots when he was only 13 years old...great guy and very friendly too. Haha. Oh yah, and not forgetting his oh-so-adorable son!! FYI, he has 2 sons, elder is Sean and the younger Ryan. Ryan is so kawaii!! And the way he laughs...so contagious lol. I think he's about 3 years old...oh well, i don't know, didn't had the chance to ask.

Bottom line is I had a great time and a great meal and a great 1st time experience drinking sake. Japanese cuisine is now my definite no.1 choice for foreign cuisine. Thank you granduncle!! Belanja us again next time ya??!! Hee hee.

p.s. Due to the inefficiency and laziness of my cousin sister Kia Hooi ( she personally asked for her name to be mentioned, i have no idea why ), no pictures of Ryan will be provided in this post because she didn't want to upload it and send it to me. I know its rude, but please point your fingers at her. Nah, just joking. Lol.

Sarcasm

" Oh, you're so clever-lah, unlike me so stupid...."

Ok, I believe everyone had come across this cliché before or other similar rendition. Some of us may be the ones who commonly use it while some of us are the ones that often receive this 'compliment'. But is it even a compliment in the first place?

In my opinion, teenagers nowadays are committing a rather major faux pas, which is downgrading themselves to compliment others. One of the example is the common cliché mentioned above. Don't you think that by downgrading oneself just to compliment others sounds a lil .... i dunno, sarcastic? Lets analyse the mistakes when making such 'compliment',

Define clever and stupid please. Is it by being able to answer a complicating maths question, that makes someone clever? Or at least tell me what is your standard for clever and stupid. If you're that stupid, i guess your standard for being clever isn't that high either. So, should I still take it as a compliment?

Therefore, I think that a simple "Wow, you're so clever" would be good enough to praise someone, thank you. There's no need to add the next line and downgrade yourself to raise others. Everyone should be proud of themselves right? I know some of you want to burn yourself to light others but I don't think this is the right way.

I hope no offence is taken by anyone because i wrote this post just to share my 2 cents with everybody and also act as a reminder to myself. Still, I do not encourage anyone to commit this mistake but instead, live your life with pride,ok ?

Materialism

Things I want to buy at this moment :

1. a new multi-purpose cellphone - FYI, i've been using my old cellphone for almost 4 years, i tink its time for a change xD = RM 1000++
2. contact lense = RM 100++
3. new spectacles - lost my 3 months old specs in my last motorcycle crash..darn it = RM 200++
4. a book title 'Train Man' also known as 'Densha Otoko' = RM 40++
5. a brand new pc = RM 2000++
6. a 2GB pendrive = RM 50++

Total price : RM 3390++

I have no idea why i made this irrelevant post. Maybe it's just to relieve my craving for all these things.
Anyway, I need to go prepare for 30-hour famine which is tomorrow. I'm a volunteer ( Group Leader ) but I don't feel prepared for this task. Oh well, better start reading up on those handouts provided before i embarrass myself infront of my group tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Freaky Tuesday

Attention: Below is a real life story that is based on my true experience. It is not related to any tv series or movie and any coincide is merely a coincidence. And no, it has ntg to do with Freaky Friday that starred Lindsay Lohan, mind you. Lol.

The date was September the 11th 2007. It was 6.15am. It was raining heavily outside, perfect day for another god-knows hours of sleep but unfortunately it was a schooling day. The alarm rang and as sloggish as usual, I crept out of my bed. That was when the nightmare started. Instead of getting out of the bed from the right side, i decided to get off from the left. I dunno y but i guess that is one of those days when u decided to try something new? But it was a very big mistake...very big indeed. Heard of 'getting off the wrong side of bed' before ?

I continued with my daily mundane routine which includes brushing(teeth), bathing, clothing and then styling(hair) and was off to school by 6.40am unaware of the nightmare awaiting me ahead. The rain had subsided by now, only tiny drizzles. For your info, my uncle takes me toschool everyday on his way to work. So as we approach High School Klang, my uncle asked me a significant question, ( ignore the lahs .. malaysian slang .. sighh)

"Where do you want me stop you?", he asked

"Just stop me at the road infront of the school gate lah, no more rain ady."

"Nvmlah, I just send you to the backdoor lah," my uncle suggested.

"No need lah, stop me at the roadside can ady," I insisted.

Big mistake. Wrong choice.
And so, my uncle stopped me at the roadside infront of the school gate. It was 6.45am. Dark and still drizzling. I got out of the car with my folder. As I prepare to cross the road, I looked to the right. On tat time, thru my eyes, it seems the nearest car was at least 50m away, at the traffic light. So, I crossed the road with a little hurry as I was trying not to get myself too wet. I got to the middle of the road. Now as I was turning my head to the left to check for cars, BANG!
Something hit me from the right side. The world was spinning. I was spinning. And then i felt it, the infamous 'instantaneous moment' that was once mentioned by my physics teacher. It is said to occur randomly but usually on critical times like this. It was a brief moment but considering the period of the knock, it seemed rather long. During this time, after the bang, 1 question instantly popped into my brain.

Am I Dead?


Yes, a very spooky question but nevertheless, it happened.
Soon enough, I was regaining consciousness. I turned around and realised i'm sitting right at the middle of the road. And like any human being would feel at tat moment, I paniced. I turned to look at my uncle's car which was still there. It was obvious that he did not know wad to do either or rather panicking as i saw his break lights were flashing red , stopped and falshed again. I suppose he wanted to come down but by tat time the cars 50m away were already released from the traffic light. I quickly gather myself, realising i'm in the middle of danger sitting right there. I stood up, wobbly, trying to gain my balance. I checked both my right and left arm to see if I were bleeding. No blood, good news. I tried to stand firmly, resisting the giddiness. I turned to my left again to check on my uncle's car but instead saw a motorcycle right there beside me holding up my folder, handing it to me. I took it and without forgetting my manners, I said 'thank you'. Well, i didn't know if it was him who knocked me cos he didn't say sorry or anything. So, when he helped pick up my folder, i guess a 'thank you' is most appropriate. Then, I was still in panic mode. I don't know wether I should go to my uncle's car or just run into school.

I made my decision. I ran into school and yet was still cautious of not getting my shoe wet as the road had slightly accumulated some rain water. I walked as fast as I could in state of shock. I quickly walked into the canteen and saw Boon Chiew sitting there. I took a seat next to her, gasping for air, obviouslky shocked. And Boon Chiew as usual jokingly asked me wether i juz came back from swimming because my whole body was wet. Still gasping for air, I told her I was just knocked by a motorcycle. Now at that time , I had difficulty speaking and had to repeat tat sentence 4 times till i tink she gets it because i was still gasping for air and couldn't speak properly as i was about to cry due to shock. And then i burst into tears, as silent as possible with my head down as there were other ppl in the canteen. She tried to console me but to no avail as it was a really frightening experience. I still remembered she was scared too as she kept saying "dun scare me" but she asked 1 weird question which was " do you want to eat anything?" when i was crying. Weird. Anyway, soon after that my parents came to school to fetch me home because my uncle had called them ( thank you uncle because i also wanted to call them but the stupid public phone only accepts card ). On my way home, my dad gave me a 5 mins lecture on safety on road-crossing, thanks dad, but not at tat time pls.

And so tat was my 1st time experience being knocked by a motorcycle( well at least i tink its a motorcycle who knocked me).So who is it to blame? Me getting off the wrong side of bed , me not looking before crossing the road, the dark weather, or the motorcyclist? Anyway, I'm very glad I was not injured anywer, only sprains on my neck and ankle. I would also like to thank my friends who made the effort to call/sms/msn me eventho during school hours to make sure i was ok. Although tis has been a freaky accident but i guess there were a few blessings in disguise. Firstly, my uncle now drops me at the backdoor, worried that i will b knocked again and also I now know that my friends truly cared for me. The sad thing thing is i lost my 3 months old spectacles that caused me Rm200++ from my hard-earned pay. It should b sumwer in the middle of the road shattered. However, now that lots of ppl see me without my specs, they say i look better. Haha.
