The Smell after rain?

2010-04-04T22:43:00.006+08:00

Hot is the word to describe the weather for the past few weeks, fortunately rain do pay visits to Earth for the past few nights. =)

So, yeah, what's up with the rain?

Well, just want to share something rain-related, more specifically, After-rain-related - Have you ever curious about what causes the wonderful, refreshing smell after rain?

Actually, there are many kinds of after-rain smell which are each caused by different stuff.

One of the most noticeable smell would be the ones caused by.... bacteria. Yup you heard me right, bacteria. The name is Actinomycetes, a type of filamentous bacteria, found and grow in soil when the soils' condition are damp and warm. After the soil dries out, the bacteria produces spores in the soil. During rain, these tiny spores are smack right up into the air by the rainfall. The moist air after rain carries the spores and we breathe in those earthy-smell spores.

The bacteria is extremely common and can be found in areas all over the world, which is why this "after-the-rain" smell are kind of same in almost anywhere.

I personally like the refreshing smell, a lot, do you? =)

The Known Universe

2010-01-30T02:40:00.010+08:00

Alright, you just had a bad day, had things going against what you wanted it to be.

You feel frustrated and angry, thinking the problem is a "BIG THING" to you.

However,

have you ever think about,

how insignificant your "problem" is?

how unnoticeable your "bad mood" is?

how tiny you are in this world, in this universe?

Speaking of Universe, I've one awesome video to share with you all. =]

[Dude, hit the Full Screen button weyy]

[[Copyrights: American Museum of Natural History]]

"The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010. "

Are your problems really that "BIG THING" to you now?

Be Happy. =]

Go Stern (Go Stand)

2009-08-23T03:58:00.006+08:00

I'm sure you Malaysian out there heard of this word -

"Go stand/gostan etc", which means reverse.

But do you know the real term?

Its Go Stern.

Stern is actually the end part of a ship. To be contrasted with bow, where bow is the front.

"Malaysia: to move backward in a vehicle (informal)" - www.encarta.msn.com.

Note the Malaysia noting in front of the definition, probably only Malaysian called Go Stern as to mean reversing. =)

Which of the following is the largest?

2009-07-21T21:16:00.001+08:00

Why ... not?

2009-07-08T01:51:00.000+08:00

There are times, we try our very best, to do something, to accomplish something, to get that special thing that we wanted so badly, but yet, “nothing” seems to be the reward we get, the only reward.

That, really breaks us apart.

It’s both disappointing and frustrating, and most of us chose to give up, to let go the hope and dream we once thirst for; to destroy all the efforts and hard work we all have put in; to forget that special thing we once aimed to achieve… And the worst? We lost our courage, which is the most important element that kept us going forward, to hang on to what we used to believe; to start another dream-achieving journey; to put in even the slightest effort on something else…

Many asked why; many said they’ve lost everything.

But the past is the past.

It’s perfectly normal that you’re being haunted by the failure in your past, so instead of asking yourself: “Why I should continue?” ask yourself: “Why shouldn’t I continue?”

“Why not?” gives you a much clearer picture than just “Why”. And don’t ask what or how much you can get; instead, ask what you are you going to lose.

So,

why not?

Hilarious Mirror Prank

2009-06-22T19:32:00.000+08:00

Imagine yourself being in the washroom, you do your "things", off to wash your hand,

then you take a look at the mirror to check your face and hair.

But wait,

where's my face?

where's... me?

DON'T BE AFRAID, WATCH THIS VIDEO XD

Tangible VS Intangible

2009-06-12T21:22:00.001+08:00

The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last.

Stone crumbles, wood rots, people, well, they die.
But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.

-Chuck Palahniuk (American freelance Journalist, Satirist and Novelist. b.1961)

The truth is, everybody dies. And I mean every single one of us.

Life isn't about living forever, but to create something that will lasts forever, something as small as a simple idea, an invention, a thought that will grow itself through the minds and beliefs of others. These are the things that truly lasts, much longer than you can ever possibly imagine.

Earth Hour 2009 - Aftermath

2009-03-29T08:47:00.000+08:00

The Earth Hour for year 2009 have passed.

Did you do your part as an Earthling?

Here's some videos about last night's Earth Hour around the world.

KLCC， Malaysia

Bird Nest, China

And one of the starting point of Earth Hour,

Sydney, Australia

Earth Hour 2009. Tonight it is.

2009-03-29T06:28:00.000+08:00

One of the most important events to mark on today's world: Earth Hour.

This year's theme :"Vote Earth; Your Light Switch is your Vote"

It's basically an election between 2 candidates: The Earth, and Global Warming. And we, the residents of Earth, is the voters.

How?

It's simple: Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming.

Every single vote counts. Vote for The Earth.

(by switching off your lights)

Earth Hour is definitely a meaningful event for the planet Earth, to face and fight the truth of global warming.

If you are interested, and wanted to know more about it (or even take part in it), visit Earth Hour's official site,

Click Here. It was an introduction post about Earth Hour I wrote on year 2008 back then.

"So, what exactly is Earth Hour? It is created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming."

28th of March, 830pm - 930pm of your local time. Wherever you are, switch off your lights.

Tadaa~~

It's 28th of March of the year 2009, and it is a remarkable plus meaningful date.

Why?

No, it's not because of the Fahrenheit's Concert in Malaysia tonight;

Earth Hour you say? Err yeah, it's a meaningful event, buuuuuuuut, there's one more thing:

Its the day when Art of Thirteen is rebooted ~~

Thats all for the re-prologue.

2009-03-26T14:47:00.000+08:00

Hey everybody,

it's been awhile isn't it?

since... since my... my last...

well, you know what I mean. <=]

Well, I'm now preparing for the reboot of this blog. (Note: This is good. Lolz.)

No, not right away, maybe a couple of days later. I mean, I'll need some time to change some of the stuffs here right? The arrangement, the layout, the style and the feel, maybe. (or maybe I'll just keep the same old Art of Thirteen XD )

And these are the things, or the topics, you'll expect to see, here, in the future: My thoughts/opinion about something, some meaningful facts/stories worth sharing, and maybe some funny stuffs, like jokes or funny pics....

So...

.........................................

Noticed something few days ago.

Look at this.

okay you know what this sign means right?

Now take a look at this.

and....

look at this again:

noticed any similarities?

Yea, what I'm trying to show is, the percentage sign kind of looks like a fraction of zero-zero.

I wonder if this is where the percentage sign came from. Lolz.

Homograph

2008-09-19T14:51:00.000+08:00

One question:

Use only ONE word to relate Egyptian & Mother.

........

.....

The answer is Mummy.

Let's try another one.

Piano & Lock

.....

...

THINK!

...

Answer : KEY (there are KEYs on a piano, and you use a KEY to open locks)

Interesting huh?

You see, "Mummy" and "Key" are what we called Homograph.

It's a word which have two or more meanings, but it is always spelled the same. Eg: the word "tank" can be used in "army tank", or "water tank", both with same spelling, but different meanings.

Credit goes to Dr. Pascale Michelon who created this. =]

Pas-ture

2008-09-14T14:55:00.000+08:00

No, I'm not talking about the padang rumput thingy pasture. What I mean by Pas-ture here is Past & Future, which when we combine both words, we get Pas-ture. ^^ .. (.... -____-)

Let's talk about Past first.

Past, would be a massive collection of yesterday; It is the source of our memory; It is the today of our future. In reality, we are always in the losing of our "now" to our past. In fact, each and every second we are having right now is becoming a past.

Now let's talk about futures.

We are living in a world filled with unknown, we live and breathe every single day, for our future. The never-ending search for future started light years ago, however, future never comes - there is always a future. We are never going to 'reach' the future.

Day and night we live with the everlasting embracement of past and future.
How far is our past? How far is our future?
Past and future prison our heart.

Which past happened for our future? Which future happens because of our past?

Past is unchangeable, Future is unpredictable

Past is a truth, future is a belief.

Past is embellished by tears, Future is embraced by fear.
Future will be the past, Past was once the future.

Tomorrow is the day after tomorrow of yesterday.

About Newton's Third Law

2008-08-22T12:59:00.000+08:00

Note: This is NOT about physics or mathematics.

Lex III: Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi.
Newton's third law (Law of reciprocal actions) states that all forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

~Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Sir Isaac Newton

In other words,
Every action has its equal opposing force(s).

Including you and me.

You see, for everything you're seriously bad in, you will possess something that you're extremely good with. In fact, the degree of "Good" and "Bad" in that particular thing is equal.

This mean, the more bad you are in field A, the better you are in field B.

So guys, don't be disappointed or give up when you found out that you're so poor in doing something, or even being the worst in that particular thing, because that just means you're the best in something else, which you may or may not discover yet.

The worse implies the best.

The Red

2008-08-17T12:21:00.000+08:00

The feeling is so blue
after all I've went through
the piercing of needle
glowing more than just a metal

I'm standing in a white box
filled with crimson sand and fuchsia rocks
It's not about what I've seen
it's about the voices screaming from within

I can smell the red
yes, do feel free to take
I can feel the flow
no, I'm not embraced by sorrow

I am, smiling for the red satisfaction.

Blood Donation save lifes(sssss)

"One World, One Dream"

Mind Mapping

2008-08-05T22:52:00.000+08:00

Attended Tony Buzan's talk in college few days ago.

It was quite fun actually, well, at least now I can memorize the planets of the Solar System, in order! Lolz.

He's the world's leading expert on brain and the founder of the famous Mind Mapping- a thinking technique used by over 250 million people worldwide.

Basically, it's a thinking technique which uses visual and graphical braches, like a road map, to illustrate the details about a particular topic. It is a powerful graphical technique that is said to be able to unleash the hidden potential of our brain. The usage of Mind Mapping covers many field - education, personal, and even corporates.

"The clue to Mind Mapping’s effectiveness lies in its dynamic shape and form. It is designed to work with the associative, organic nature of your brain’s processing system, thereby drawing upon your limitless natural capabilities. "

About Point of View

2008-07-15T14:55:00.000+08:00

In many times we see things with only one point of view - ourself.
But the truth is, every single thing in this world has unlimited ways of seeing it.

That's why angles exist;

That's why degree exists;

That's why directions exist;

That's why reality is in 3-Dimensional.

(Okay, I was just joking about this one. -__-)

Okay, here's something which is quite interesting:

Take a good look at these two pictures of Mona Lisa.

Have you noticed anything? Differences? Strange?

.........

.....

...

Now look at these two.

(It's the SAME picture as above, turn your monitor/ your head upside down if you still don't believe me.)

(Source: www.exploratorium.edu)

Get it now?
You see, Mona Lisa is a masterpiece, which, we could recognize it at first glance - even it is turned upside down.
But the thing is, we're not familiar with an vertically-inverted Mona Lisa. In other words, we're not familiar with an upside-down point of view. Seeing things in different point of view really does affects our thoughts and decisions, right?

Different things may look the same at a certain point - but the truth is, it's not.

"It"

2008-04-19T18:20:00.001+08:00

Prologue ~ The P

Do you still remember

the story of the black-painted letter?

it's about the premature soul

and "its" story that was never told

~~~

Temptation is slicing the meat

bloody viper that broke the sheet

finding ways without a clue

crawling straight into the suretU

then there's the time

vomiting through the days and night begins

voiceless scream of the slime

awaken the soul that lies within

Then there's the time

sounds of quarrel burning high

nurturing the artistic crime

finally portrayed in the poem of lie

~~~

Chapters ~ The A

Uncontrollable consumptions begins
incomparable pain shouts from within
illusions which kills the heart
saturates the mixture of tears and blood

Fear drains you away from reality
peacefully you lie down by screaming crazily
gazing at the blue ceiling for that sole reason
observing your limbs wide open

Your emotions are getting low
maybe it is because of the enslaved soul,
that is sliced into pieces and portion
or maybe you're feeling high as you reach satisfaction

Tears from the inside, you could feel "it" cry
Pain from the outside, you can feel "it" die

~~~

Epilogue ~ The C

The Society has gone very wrong
they sing and praise the insidious song
Deep below the skin you touch
flows the blood that doesn't match

Humanity embraces the lust
Rationalism being engulf and crush
Insanity evokes and growing strong
blurring the vision of right and wrong

The Society was drowned by sound of vice
listening to their thirst for sacrifice
when sorrow is peeling your skin
Time is praying for forgiveness from within

~~~

Didn't you notice the head of the foetus
hanging on the tree behind you?

KEN LEE~~ (Can't Live) X)

2008-03-25T14:47:00.000+08:00

Warning :This post is not intended for any ethnic tensions or historical debates. It's just for laugh. X)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, i found out something which is quite interesting.
It is about this special woman - Valentina Hasan.

"Ken Lee~~~ Tulibu dibu douchoo~"

Don't understand? Hahaz, its absolutely OK, it is actually English.. with just abit of not-too-accurate pronounciation. It actually means :

"Can't Live~~~ If living is without you~"

Lolz. Here's why:

During the second season of the Bulgarian show, "Music Idol" , this woman sang Mariah Carey's song "Without you" in a ....well.... in unique English, if you get what I mean.
Okay, just watch her video and you'll know what am I taking about. x)

(p/s: before watching the video, kindly go to the bottom of this page and stop the background music first.)

Get what I mean now? x)
This whole song she is singing is ORIGINALLY sang by Mariah Carey, FULLY in English.

The problem is her pronounciation of English was rather.... not accurate. In fact, I couldn't understand a single word of what she is singing about... UNTIL... the KEN LEE part! (which was supposed to be "Can't Live". lolz.)

Another thing is, she even mentioned the wrong song name, which should be "Without You" , instead of Can't Live (which, she pronounced as Ken Lee. XD).
And the worse part is, she even denied it when one of the judges ask her for a confirmation on the song name.
Lolz.

But, she did IMPROVED a lot later on.

This "Ken Lee" song thing then quickly becomes a hit single around the world.
Peoples around the world sing this special-version of "Can't Live", named "Ken Lee", some even immitate her singing style (of course her pronounciation too, hahaz) and post it online. Lolz.

However, I do think she has a great vocal. Her voice really sounds good. =]
All the best to her singing carreer.

Oh ya, if you need the lyrics of the real version of Can't Live, here's it:

No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there But then I let you go
And now it's only fair That I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore

Coloured poem?

2008-03-08T12:18:00.000+08:00

To make things VERY clear.. I"M NOT A RACIST.
=)

Okay, this was written by a black guy in Texas.... seems like he got some problem with the skin colour issue. x)

~~~

When I born, I BLACK.
When I grow up, I black.
When I go in sun, I black.
when I cold, I black.
When I scared, I black.
When I sick, I black.
And when I die, I still BLACK!

You WHITE FOLKS.....
When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green.
When you bruised, you purple.
And when you die, you gray
So who you callin' COLORED

XJapan Reunion Concert

2008-03-02T14:52:00.000+08:00

Oh man.. 28th of March is coming..

Yupz, the long-awaited XJapan reunion concert is happening on the 28th, 29th and 30th of March at Tokyo Dome.

The night of 29th was an extra add-on night due to the overloaded and huge request from fans all over the world. Concert on 28th was named "The Night of Destruction" while the 30th was named "The night of Creation".

Honestly, I REALLY REALLY want to go... T_T. I mean, really, it has been a long long time Xjapan didn't appear since they disbanded 10 years ago.

Get the tickets?

The truth is, this concert's tickets sold out through the concert pre-sales before the official sale date even begin. Poor me. <=] ... However it really is a good news which really shows XJapan's popularity. =]

XJapan was the first band to sold out the Tokyo Dome. Now, they are the first band to sold out Tokyo Dome before the tickets even went on sales.

The unexpected sold out leads to an extra concert held on 29h of March and also increase in seatings in Tokyo Dome. Premier seats will also be auction off and part of the proceeds will go to charity.

The concert is the first concert of XJapan since the death of their former guitarist, Hide, on May 2, 1998. The reunion concert will be performed by the remaining living 4 members of XJapan of the pre-break up line -

Yoshiki(leader, pianist, drummer)

Toshi (Vocal)

Pata(Guitar)

Heath(Bass)

Earth Hour

2008-01-24T14:58:00.000+08:00

On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour – they called it, the Earth Hour.

This massive collective effort reduced Sydney’s energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for one hour!

On year 2007, this is the Sydney's Earth Hour；
but on year 2008, it's going to become a global movement ---- The World's Earth Hour.

So, what exactly is Earth Hour? It is created to take a stand against the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, Earth Hour uses the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

This simple act has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. As a result, millions of people in some of the world’s major capital cities, including Copenhagen, Toronto, Chicago, Melbourne, Brisbane, Tel Aviv and Manila will unite and switch off for Earth Hour.
When? The date is 29th of March 2008, 8pm.

Here's a video about it:

Have it caught your mind yet?

Fail Talk

2008-01-11T11:13:00.000+08:00

Failure is not about discovered nothing in the end. But rather discovered something new in the end. Yes, you’ve heard me. Failing is learning.

So the next time when you heard one of your friends says that, “I’m a loser who lives in an unsuccessful life, I’ve failed millions of times in my life!!” instead of saying “Don’t be sad…”, you congrats him! Because he have learned millions of things in his so called “unsuccessful” life.

I mean, there is no such thing as a dead end. Every question has its answer, and every problem has its solution (or even solutionssssss). When solving a problem, it’s not about finding the solution, but it’s about choosing the correct or best solution.

There’s totally nothing wrong with failure. It depends how you take it as. For example, some take it as a “natural phenomenon” before success arrives; some take it as a form of encouragement; some just simply take it as a humiliation.

When you succeed, this mean you’ve learned the way that works, you’ve chosen the correct solution to solve the problem. You’ve learned something new, you’ve learned the way which is able to solve this particular problem.
When you failed, you discovered the way that does not work. You’ve learned that this is not the solution to this problem. In another words, you also learned something new.

Can you see the similarities between success and failure?
Yup, they both teach us something new, and we learned something from it.

So from now on, don’t fear failure, you should feel happy about it. You see, everyone can have a taste of success or failure.

In a nutshell,
Failure – a path/way,
Success – a destination

About Happiness, an easy one.

2008-01-07T11:06:00.000+08:00

I’ve been reading some articles on the net, books and newspaper, erm, mainly focused on the theme of happy or happiness. Well, some of them really impressed me I would say.
They (the articles) really broadened my eyes, as well as my perspective, it really changes my way of looking at the world, and how I define the word Happy.

So that’s why I wrote this article, to share with you my opinion about happiness.
So, what’s happy? Happy can be anything, in any way, in any form. It can be a satisfaction in your life, your career, health, wealth or even relationship with others. It really depends. Well, for me:

“Your true happiness begins when you give happy a simple enough definition.”

Don’t get what I mean? Okay here’s an example. You wanted a raise in your salary, you understand this wasn’t going to happen just like that. So you set your goal -- Get a 20% raise from your boss within two months.

Let’s just say you’ve made it, you achieved your goal, and you’re of course happy. But, but, but ……how if your goal was just like this? ---- Getting a raise in salary within one month. The word “a raise” shows that there is no definite amount or percentage of raise; therefore it can be any amount. 20%, 10%, or even just 5% pay raise. You feel happy about it because you successfully get your pay raise and achieved your goal!

You see, everybody wants a happy life, an easy life, so why not we just make things easier? That’s what I’m trying to say when I said “give happy a simple enough definition”, in other words, it means set your goal or even goalssss within a more easy-to-reach zone. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not telling you to have no confident in yourself, but to achieve your goals easier, faster, and feel happy easier, faster.

People who live happily have more power to reach his life’s higher and bigger goals, and then achieve another goal, and another one, and another, and another ………

Get what I mean now?

Be happy.

Uncensored pollination = Plants' porn

2007-12-20T14:37:00.000+08:00

Yeah no kidding; now plant have their very own pornography. Thanks to this guy --- Jonathon Keats. He is an American conceptual artist, well, a pretty good one I would say.
You see, he did copyright his own mind back in the year of 2003, claiming that his mind was a sculpture he created. Moreover, during the year of 2000, which is when this guy made his first debut in San Francisco, he sat in a chair and thought for twenty-four hours. Sounds like nothing’s special right? Well, he actually did that with a female model posing nude in front of him. (I wonder if the model fell asleep that time. Lolz.) But this guy was best known for trying to genetically engineer God in a petri dish. O_O

This guy then started another …well… rather weird project, and that is, to introduce cinema to the plant kingdom and to entertain plants. As we know, plants are sensitive to light, and the cinema we human used to watch movies are actually using the concepts of light. Keats wanted to make a movie for plants. Thus he decided to make a film to project on their leaves so they can absorb it, rather than let them watch it ( do plants actually have eyes? O_O).

"I knew enough about their reproduction process to make an educated guess at what might titillate them and that was pollination," Keats says.

Therefore, he filmed a six-minute long video of plants’ uncensored pollination. He then edited his uncensored footage into a gritty black and white porn video. And there it is, world’s first plant porn movie ---- Cinema Botanica. (This is what Keats named it)

Okay, but what does a typical plant porn looks like?

No, definitely not this one....

............

......

it actually looks like this :

-____- Yupz, this is it.

Okay as an ending for this post... I give you... World's First Plant Porn.....

Cinema Botanica ~!

....'s trailer.... = =

I am pretty sure you have the same feeling with me after watching the video. It’s dead boring.

"It is very boring but that is part of the essence of pornography, that it is very repetitive," says Keats.

Whatever you say Keats... whatever you say...

Lolz. Stay tuned for my next post. Do subscribe me if you found this site(blog) is interesting. =] Peace.

I was going to have oatmeal for breakfast this morning, the instant one, so I just need to add some hot water to it, and it is ready to serve. Sounds easy right? But things don’t always go the way you expected. -____- Okay, I was pouring some hot water…….okok, I mean a lots of water, then the whole oat thingy became…err…. watery and totally dilute.
If you’re me, what would you do? I don’t about you guys but what I did is I add in more oats into the bowl of diluted-oat-thingy, and then I stir….. then I add some more… and more ….more…. then more water … and water… and oat…. and water … and oat….
………………….……
……………..
……..
….
..

The final product?
-____________-
I guess I’ll stop here about the oats…..

(I ate it anyway. lolz)

Okay now change the focus on my breakfast to Japan. Lolz.

In Japan, “Melody Roads” were actually successfully built. A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute made it happened.

Basically, these interesting roads produce sound by using the vehicles such as cars and motorcycles as tuning fork. The concept works by using grooves, which are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. Just as traveling over small speed bumps or road markings can emit a rumbling tone throughout a vehicle, the melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes. Interesting eh?

Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, enabling cunning designers to create a distinct tune.
Motorcyclists now have a new way to entertain themselves. Lolz.

Oh ya final info, the vehicles need to be at the right speed for best results, otherwise it will either sounds like a fast-forward or a Mr.Snail's crawling.

Okay enough of the explanation. Sight is the best explanation. ^^ Here’s a video about it :

Well.. it does sounds abit like ... you know.... farting music.... Hahaz.

Serve your Nation -- National Service

2007-12-11T13:42:00.000+08:00

I’m not chosen for the National Service. Lucky me eh? I’m not quite sure how the choosing of trainees was carry out, randomly maybe?
Some of my friends are chosen for NS. Well, good thing or not, it depends.

For you guys who doesn’t have a clue what National Service is, it is actually a government service program participated by male or with female of a country, usually at the age of 18. This program mostly focuses on military service. In Malaysia, the NS is also known as the Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PKLN), which its aim is to instill the spirit of patriotism into the heart of the younger generations. Form 5 school leavers are chosen randomly ( I’m not quite sure whether “random” is the right word ~_^ ) to participate in NS.

Below are some of the opinions I’ve got from my NS-chosen friends. It seems like there are positives, and of course negatives too. Due to the privacy right of my buddies (and to preventing them from getting any trouble, lolz), no names will be mention.
Okay, let’s have a look on the opinions and reactions :
1) Yeah! It’s fun kay!
2) Oh man… My schedules were ruined….
3) Aiya…. cincai lar….
4) Hmm… I’m sure it’ll be a great experience
5) 3 months man! THREE MONTHS!!!!
6) Stay tuned for my slim + fit body and my wonderful tanned skin 3 months later!
( yeah right Mr. Macho -___- )
………….
……...
…

Many asked me what’s the way to avoid it. Well, it seems like there are no legal ways to avoid NS, except for serious medical reasons and educational purposes, but that usually just gives you the ticket to shorten your period of service.

Okay when there’s pros there’s cons, right? I mean, let’s face it, since the official launch of Malaysia’s National Service, problems have been happening ENDLESSLY. Let’s just don’t talk about the minor problems such as its “tasty-licious” food and “fragrence-like” toilets (heard from my friends), the major problems in NS are fatal. Security and cleanliness are still very walao eh. Let’s look at some trainees fatalities during the period of serving NS.

2007
Ili Ameera Azlan, 17, died on 18th January was attached to the Ayer Keroh, Melaka camp after suffering breathing difficulties. The parents were paid RM 35,000.
1 March 2007 P. Prema from Kajang, Selangor, attached to the Kisana Beach Resort Camp, Kelantan was found unconscious in a toilet at Jeram Linang (0230 hours). She was taken to the Tengku Anis Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
3 September 2007, Mohd Rafi Ameer, 18, died at 10.30pm after having fever for 1 week. Rafi called his sister and telling her that he had fever and that his leg had been swollen for nearly a week after he fell during training. Rafi death making a total of 20 death case in the National Service training camps since 2004.

2005
Nurul Ashikin Karino, 17, died on 14th May at the Han Sui, Tawau, Sabah camp. Karino Jalani (father of the deceased) claimed that he was not allowed to meet his daughter who fell and was injured as part of a training accident
S. Theresa Pauline, 17, died on June 11th was attached to the Karisma Camp, Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan. She was admitted to the hospital on May 23rd after having fits. Her death was attributed to viral meningoencephaliti. Her father, S. Sarimuthu was paid RM 32,000

2004
Awang Mohd Fazil Awang Borhan, 17, Died on April 23 was attached to the Simalajau Camp, Bintulu, Sarawak. He was swimming with 36 other trainees at Sungai Cina, Matang, Kuching, Sarawak.
T. Saravana, 18, attached to the Ethnobotany Camp, Gua Musang, Kelantan. The trainee from 1614A Hospital Quarters, Taiping, Perak drowned while picknicking at Sungai Taman Wangi, Gua Musang, about 3 kilometres from his camp, with 250 trainees and 10 trainers.

Info Source – Wikipedia

So what’s with the NS? What things do we actually earn? The first thing you are going to earn is the RM300 pay, (or salary? Or compensate?.... Whatever~ ). Seriously, one will surely get some new friends, or even best buddies in there. Maybe it’s because they’ve went through the “hard times” together. Lolz. One will definitely too, learn the way of living harmony with others. And last but not least, one’s body will become fitter and about the skin color…. Well… you know…. Mr. Africa. -_____ -

To my friends or whoever is going to the National Service, I wish you all the best and have fun there!

Well let’s say now is the time for the last episode of your favourite drama or movie. Will you be more excited and anticipated about it?

Do you guys realize? Many people will only appreciate every moment of the episode when it is the last.

Not just that, many of us always appreciate something with our heart when something comes to an end, no matter what it is. Like the Earth, centuries ago, no human being (or maybe very few) were worried about the depletion of energy and the negative effects of destruction to the Earth.
That’s human. When it comes to an end or last, only will us appreciate it and take it seriously. Let’s talk about some example: We would spend the last dollar longer compare to the last hundred, we would appreciate someone when he or she is leaving us, and we would truly understand that our life is precious when we are breathing our last.

So, stop all the ignorance now, and start appreciating. (Well, none of us wants to feel the bitter of regret, right? ^^ )

Huu~ It’s been long time since my last update, kind of busy though. Hehe. Lately kind of into arts, well don’t get shock, what I mean is the martial arts. XD

From friends, I learned a bit bit bit bit of basic of the basic moves (under controlled situation though…haha…), well different people are interested in different martial arts. Like my friends, kelv is akido, jy is shaolin, and wx is tai chi,

and others with karate, judo and taekwondo.
So what’s my favourite?

Well since there are ju”do”, taekwon”do” and aki”do”,

I would prefer thirteen"do". XD

~ Peace ~ in fam

2007-03-18T19:32:00.000+08:00

Peace. Well, it is a simple word, but if u asks me what it means, I would just look straight into your eyes and say, "I don't know".

So, what actually is peace? How do we define peace?

Let's see... uhm... a state of harmony? The absence of hostility? When no wars are happening? Or is it when silence is all around? .... Is it because of it sounds like "piece", so if we stay in one piece then it means we are having peace?....
Well, I don’t really feel like want to talk about international violence or wars ( I am not a political type of guy), in fact I think I am not qualified yet to talk or critic about international conflict issues. So what am I going to talk about? Well, peace doesn’t just happen internationally; in fact I would prefer talk about peace in families…

Does peace and harmony really exist in families? Even in families with family members of different personalities and attitude? No matter how long a family had lost the presence of conflict, fight or maybe violence, it would just happen again. Over and over again, then when is the real harmony state is reached? Well, for me, it seems like peace in families are impossible. We often heard that a fight might be a good way to improve one’s relationship with another, if that’s so, what for the world today so thirst about peace?

Mahatma Gandhi once said, “There is no way to peace, peace is the way”, envisioning peace is a process, not a target or aim.

~ Well, for me, eternal peace is just nonsense. ~

Pursuit of Happ'Y'ness

Yesterday I went redbox to sing with my great band friends. Wei zheng, chye guan, vincent, and another guy?? Haha cg's friend I think so, lolz.... So sad that the numbers of "singers" present is lesser than expected.... Well we still had lots of fun there.. Hehe....
Sing lots of songs there.. It was a bom! ... Haha we all have a lots of fun there. We sing, we shout, we screeeaamm~ ... Lolz ...
Actually, its not about the place or the song or the karaoke that gives me lots of fun, it was friends that made me enjoy that moment sooooo much!
Thanks guyz ~ !

Hmm... Later on I went for a movie with one of my best friend. Heard that GSC was having a fire???? (not quite sure) ... Haha but luckily the room for our movie still "movieable". The movie is ------ Pursuit of Happ'Y'ness, starring Will Smith. Well, when you see the name Will Smith, are you expecting a funny, hilarous comedy? Think again~ It's a touching, inspiring, tears-stimulating movie.
The story was about a guy named Chris trying his best to stay alive in his harsh life. Although his wife left him, he doesnt give up himself nor his 5 years-old son, Christopher.
All the touching scene, how he hold on, together with his understanding son will surely touches your heart. The true meaning of Happiness.....
