it happened while i was taking a bath.as i was cleaning myself,i then notice how dirty the pail was.so i took out all my toiletries and clean the pail with just water.it immediately looked bright and clean.it also suddenly looked weird.it looked
like as though it just appear out of nowhere as i don’t really recognize it anymore without all my toiletries in it and it looking so clean.the shade of blue,the size,the appearance,the flower print on the outer side…it’s just so lovely.that’s when i realize those were exactly the reasons why i bought that particular pail in the 1st place.it then occur to me that hey,how many things or people have i taken for granted just because they are always there beside me?i am so used to them being around and them being near me that i never took the time to really see them,thank them,appreciate them.on a smaller scale,i’ve not appreciated my blue pail as much as i shud,and moving to a bigger scale,i haven’t said thank you to my parents often enough..haven’t spend enough time with them (again,no matter how much time is not enough…but i really shud spend more time with them) and all the trees,water,birds,animals,technology and all other automations which exist to make my life easier,have i taken them for granted?somehow,the answer is "yes".so,to my pails,clothes,washing machines,stoves,microwave,etc etc,i’ll take extra care when it comes to handling u guys and to mom and dad,i’m coming home this saturday….

the pail full of toiletries…
i was watching "stranger than fiction" again the other day… and remembered one particular statement made by Karen Eiffel.. she was thinking hard on how to kill Harold,contemplating on ending his life with suicide.she was thinking of making Harold leap of a building when his assistant came barging in wit the intention of helping her finish the book.she then told her assistant that "everybody thought of leaping off a building",where of course her assistant said "no i dun think of leaping off a building".
Karen did make some sense.. everyone did thought of that… or was it just me? i thought it would feel nice to leap off a building. (let’s just concentrate on the part when u start jumping and till midway,not the destination nor ending.we’ll just skip that. hehe)it’ll b fun dun u think?u’ll feel as though u are flying..can feel the cold breeze on yr face,yr hands and legs feel so free and weightless…even yr whole body feels weightless..the act itself makes u feel like as though u have a pair of invisible wings.u’ll feel like an angel for at least a few sec. before dying.
is it true when they say that u’ll die of heart attack whenever u jump frm a building? the pressure causing ur blood vessels to burst? or just plain scared to death..? so means if i’m feeling peaceful and not scared of the jump i’ll end up dead just from the impact when i hit the ground? prolly not a very good way to die as yr bones will break frm the impact and it might just disfigure yr face… yucks!
*disclaimer:this post is not meant to encourage suicide or whatsoever.pls value yr life.
the world is over-populated.so,naturally there would be countless types of people existing in this very planet.to narrow things down,let’s start by analyzing the different types of people that exist in my lecture classes.
The Arrogant Show-off
yes,not only are they arrogant,they like to show off too! this is prolly the worst kind of people that u would want to have in yr class.particularly in my class,there’s this indian boy who is by far the most irritating person i’ve ever come across.he will talk loudly,(to show off or to just plain let everyone hear what he was saying) never pays attention in class but act like he’s the nicest student and started calling out loud whenever there’s students leaving the classroom. downright pain in the ass! and oh,did i mention that he was also one of the asshole who cheated in the Financial Accounting midterm? he passed the papers to his fren right in front of my eyes when the lecturer walk to the other direction. asshole!!! (in case u’re wondering,i did not report to d lecturer..it’s just not me to be a whistle blower)
Teacher’s Pet
well,well,well…. i used to be a teacher’s pet back when i was in elementary sch.boo hoo! haha but not anymore.basically these people do not disrupt my emotions’ scale…there’re just some typical diligent students who always sit right at the front,asking the lecturers questions and also helping the lecturers whenever necessary.well,some teacher’s pet do try a lil’ bit too hard to the extend of apple-polishing them.
The Slackers
i think i can safely categorize myself in this group of students.so i’ll just simply describe wat type of a student am i.i am always late for classes,(on rare occasions like exams,i’ll b punctual,reach on time)dream in the class most of the time.i’ll copy watever that’s on the whiteboard without understanding,or sumtimes i jus dun do anything in the class.i study at the very last minute before exams……and i do not do any homeworks given by lecturers.. haha…. so slack!
Those Just Simply-Not-Interested
these are the students whom u’ll only see their faces on exam days.these are the people who manage to invisibly have their signatures taken on the attendance sheet without being there in the class literally.these are the people who,might i say,have no interest in studies,mostly only aim to pass the paper.these people usually work part-time and are more interested in making money than study.
Not Good Enough
i have frens who fall under this category where they try their best to attend all the classes,they’re on time etc.they appear like good students but they lack the scores.these people often struggle when answering exam papers.i dunno,mayb they just dun prepare enough? or the methods that they use to study is not working? hmmm…
Mr n Ms Smarty Pants
being in business course,i rarely come across very very smart individuals.maybe there are,i dunno.. i dun go round checking everyone’s marks ok? but i do noe of a few who scores really well,studies everyday and do all the tutorials.. the perfect students… not me!
and again,there might be people who fall under more than one of these categories.. u have anymore to add to the list?
rmber i had one blog entry where i complained abt my Business Stats lecturer..? the one very discriminative? i guess i can add one more adjective to describe him,which is NOOB. (note:noob refers to a person as a newbie;an annoying person or new person) i dun mean to say that he’s new… but he is such a pain in d arse… egoistic and NOOB!! he’s teaching me Mgt Sc this sem. and the subject is a calculating subject,very much like maths.and he wants us to do all d maths question step by step.when i say step by step,it means,we have to write the word step 1:……,step 2:….. etc.and whenever u ask questions in class,most of the time he will give u an irrelevant answer or he will just look at u like u’ve just spoken in Tamil.arghhh!! his jokes are lame and he always stray frm the subject by telling us this n that which has ntg to do with Mgt Sc.he sumtimes speak broken english where he’ll say "are u agree that bla bla bla" and today he pronounced cabbage as "ka-beige" WTF? n i can never pull myself to see him personally in the staffroom again whenever i need some readin materials frm him as everytime i do tat,he’ll start his "lecture".more often than not,it’s abt all the philosophies of life… and today when asked whether he will discuss d assignment Q with us after we pass it up,he told us this,"u shud b confident with yr ans. when u go out n work next time,ur boss will b the one demandin for an ans n not discuss d answer with u" yes,fair enough.. but how do we noe where we screw up n where needs fixing when he won’t give bak the assignment papers as well..? aren’t lecturers suppose to guide us through the learning process so that we will not sink later in life or for the moment,in the FINAL EXAMS???? he may not look so bad frm what i’ve said,but u gotta be ME to feel ME….. sighhhh…..
oh ya,he’s a big transformers fan… tat’s wat he told us last time during B.Stats class.see how he will tell us irrelevant stuffs? and i also happen to noe that he prefers slow oldies than fast songs.. he claims that slow songs are harder to sing…
got this from Ngan’s blog and it seems interesting enough for me to have one of my own.. so here goes.. 7 Random Facts abt myself….
tagging whoever reads this!
-it’s typical.chinese likes gambling.no question abt that.i just came back frm Genting this morning.went there to stay for a nite as a fren of Myn Wee has free deluxe room to spare.casino+gambling were the main intention… lol the moment i put the RM25 chip on the table and the cards turn out to be BlackJack,memorable…! haha eventually end up with a loss though..
-the Football Association of Msia shud review their management and employ some passionate sports person to be in charge of the organisation rather than some Datuk,Minister etc. where’s the love of the game? dun turn sports into some money making mechanism… it’s shameful and disappointing
-to the guy who created the remix of the "Negaraku" song,u’re a disgrace to us Chinese. u’re just making racial matters/issues worse by producing such "brilliant" song. to those not in the know,here -> remix of "Negaraku" (u can see my comments there… but i guess u cant please everyone and no way the world is gonna turn the other way with just the power of one person)
-i was in MPH (again…..) last monday nite… hehe.. as usual,browsing book. meant to go and get the book "Honk! If you’re Malaysian" by Lydia Teh but end up not getting anything. i was so determine to get the book the 1st time i pick it up in One Utama MPH but i did not. so went to Midvalley MPH on monday but still feel reluctant to make that purchase.the reason? i was thinking of where my RM29 will go circulating after i’d hand it over to the cashier.it will of course,go indirectly to the writer,Lydia.and then i say to myself "hey,Lydia is a married woman,with kids and husband,and she is a writer of a few other books… heck,she must be richer than me..and here i am contributing to her richness…."and so i put the book back to the shelf.haha yes,i shud have just looked at the value of the book and the fact that i’m actually bringing bk smth with the RM29 spent… but,i think of my money more. luckily it’s just me.. imagine if everyone out there were to think like i did… =/ *erm,dare not imagine* (at least there won’t be anymore designer brands lol)
oh my god, oh my god, oh my god….!!!!!!!!! i’m in the Dean’s List…. hahahahahhahahahhaha i’m a recipient of UCSI academic award…!!! hahahahahhahaahhaha it came as a surprise though.. my dad was telling me abt the invitation letter he got for the UCSI award day and i was puzzled hearing that… i thought they must have made a mistake.. so went to check n it was certified… I’M GETTING AN AWARD FOR MY FAIRLY GOOD GRADES LAST SEMESTER…..!!!!!! well, i noe.. it’s just dean’s list.. not like it’s president award or smth where u’ll get cash… but still,it’s still an award… recognition of my half-hearted hard work…. HAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAA
*karen is ecstatic right now*
last sat,a fren had his last breath in a hospital in KL.reason of death was due to the bursting of his blood vessel,specifically the vein near his esophagus (if i dun get the news wrong).i went to his funeral yesterday nite.it was sad.for someone so young and bright,it’s a loss…his dad was telling us the stories of his health complications when he broke down n cry.i feel his loss.Tzong Huat (the deceased)’s gf seem strong and tough facing people feeling sorry for her.myself included.i nv really catch all that his dad said but facts that i heard was doc said Tzong’s veins,near his esphagus are kinda fragile and might burst anytime.so docs inserted rubber bands to hold it in place for longer while they run tests to find out exactly what’s wrong with him.during the process (or is it before the admission into hospital) his stools are black,which indicates sign of internal bleeding.(maybe his veins had started bleeding?)sadly,all tests ran by doc came back with negative results.the doc also found that his liver is shrinking and still,they cudn’t determine what is the problem now.so they took samples of his liver to b examine and results are due to b out in a weeks’ time.Tzong was free to go home.his dad said tht Tzong still felt uncomfortable,so they stayed bk in the hospital waiting at least for him to feel tht he’s fit to go home.sumhow smth happened (sorry for the blurry story,i nv catch the whole story) then his veins burst and it was too late to do anything.too late even to supply oxygen or repair the damage. Rest in Peace my friend… u’ll be dearly missed by frens and family..
this year,our nation is celebrating it’s 50th
birthday… i see ‘merdeka’ and all other forms of independence day
advertisements everywhere,be it on tv,radio or in newspapers.i somehow
find it irritating and annoying that all of a sudden,everybody and
everything is becoming so patriotic.if u were to think of it,most
companies are just using this very reason of 50th merdeka year to
create more publicity and increase their sales/shares etc.why is it
that people only make a hoo-haa when we have
been independent for 50 years? what abt the 2nd to the 49th years of
independence? aren’t they important? shudn’t we be thankful for all
those years as well..? i’m not saying that things are entirely quiet
during those years,but why be extremely noisy this year? just because
of the nice,even ‘50′ number? for eg,it is as though we only appreciate
our mothers,fathers,lovers on mothers’ day,fathers’ day and valentine
day…bullcrap! (btw,V-day is so ridiculously commercialised that the
purpose of celebrating love has been replaced by "oh gosh……money
spending time". i dun rmber st.valentine ever made it to send
chocolates and flowers to his lover while he was in prison 0.o) no
matter what,no matter where,no matter how long we have been independent
,wat race,wat religion,what sex, we shud all be thankful that we’re
free from the domination of foreign power… be thankful that we are
free from natural disasters,blessed with sunshine all year
round,beautiful beaches,nice food and the ability to live and mingle
with ppl frm different races and cultural background.having said that,i
am thankful and proud to say that i’m a Malaysian.
ps:however,i’d have to give credits to the
Ministry for producing documentaries on Malaysia’s Independence…and
also The Sun for having all those history pages for the public to
reminisce abt our heroes’ journey to independence. and for those Msia
haters/bashers, pls just STFU,save some money in the bank,grow some
interest,pack ur bags and get the hell out of Msia for crying out loud!
while u’re still here,breathing the Msian air,drinking the Msian water
and making money on this beautiful land,the least u can do is be
thankful……
