Bra-vo!
"Dr Elena Bodnar, winner of the Ig Nobel Public Health Prize, showing a bra she designed that converts into a pair of gas masks, during the Ig Nobel prize award ceremony at Harvard University on Thursday. Dr Bodnar said the bra-gas masks could have been useful during the Sept 11 terrorist attacks. One mask is for the wearer and the other for a friend. -AP"

Have been always making a joke about this issue.

Often fool around with my friends stating whoever who has girlfriends are very lucky indeed, especially during the time when SARS was serious or maybe during haze or perhaps, even now, the pandemic AH1N1!!
They could at least save up some money and save themselves, of course!!

Do even disturb few close female friends of mine about it. Lucky did not get any slaps on my face for it. =)

If only I had the thought of going further
If only I had the idea of designing one
If only I had a bra in my hands
If only I had steal some bras
If only I had stolen my mom's undergarments....

HAHA... nono... I'm not whatever you think alright....

Then, I could have been awarded a Nobel Prize

How could I miss it...

DAMN!!

Sigh....

-keep on dreaming...

Happening is my alma mater

Exams are just around the corner. Yea, PMR's starting next week!

So, good luck PMR kiddos!!

And as usual, teachers would be reminding the students to be at their best discipline
-includes attire, uniform, bla bla AND HAIR

So, in my school, stubborn students get 'free hair-cut" (or maybe cheapest hair-cut in town) after given reminders and warnings again and again and again.

Let me show you some very 'fascinating' things that i saw in school today.
Look at our brilliant teachers of SMI!!

Well, if you wish to do so, click to enlarge...

Isn't it fascinating?
The photos prove it all-many students and also teachers find it so interesting.

But let me tell you what I think.

They are bunch of _____________. Sigh, you fill in the blanks. As much as I wanna say it or type it, but I do respect teachers, maybe a handful of them.

These so-called teachers are supposed to be educators, and yet what examples are they showing? Using the national flag as just another piece of cloth to cover the students' uniform while giving the hair-cut?? What kind of nonsense is this?

Aren't they the ones who are supposed to educate the students to be patriotic, loyal to nation, respect the national anthem, respect national flag... bla bla... but what images are they trying to portray?

As a not-so-pro-Malaysian myself, I dare to admit myself, am of course, pissed and angry with this party for such act.

What about those people who called themselves as the 'prince-of-the-earth' (direct translation)?
I'm pretty sure they are the very very pro-Malaysia type of people, after being given so much of help and special perks.
Don't they feel anything? Disrespectful to the nation? No?

I do remember watching an ad showing some motorcyclist taking shelter under some pondok when it was raining and this man saw this wet national flag lying on the ground soon-to-be rolled onto by an approaching vehicle. And this man risked his life in order to protect the flag.
I wonder have anyone of you have seen this ad before. Sorry for I fail to look for the video. If anyone knows where to get it, please do enlighten me. Thanks.

Contrary to the ad, I wonder what are the teachers doing.

You tell me.

To a crystal shop

WARNING!!! People under 18 years of age,

PLEASE do not continue reading.
Do no not say that I did not warn you people okay.

It was Raya holidays. So, family planned to try the famous Gopeng noodles, the 'lai fun' (the fat noodle used in laksa) of course, in Gopeng -lah.

We went to an area called Kopisan, a place mom recommended. Just for your info, it's just nearby the Matriculation and the NS campsite.

As usual, famous food in famous places are always packed. That is just a norm in life, right.

Later, we went deeper and checked out a crystal shop. Wasn't a crystal shop actually, as the owner does sell sotong titbits as the main product while crstals are just sold as second source of income.

Well, as we are all well aware that crystals are of various colours and sizes and of course, SHAPES!!

Yea, speaking of shapes, I was really erm, fascinated? Maybe? Due to REALLY special shapes.

Here are some photos. Let's see whether you are sharp enough.

Look at these beauty

Okay, now let's focus on this pic

Enlarged now.
Anything fascinating?
Anything that catch your attention?

None??
Then let me show you...










Tada~~~

Tell me what do you see?
Let's see how imaginative you are...

=)

GO

Came across this poster or rather advertisement long, long ago.


It really attracted me though.

It says

_____________________________________________________________

GO
It's one tiny, two-letter word that makes amazing things happen
Go is action
It's the spark that starts the flame that sets everything in motion.
Go keeps us going no matter what life throws our way
Go reminds us it's a big, beautiful would out there, and it's time to make the most of it
which is why people around the world go with Visa
To get our there and play
To get out there and do
To get out there and experience all the incredible things life has to offer
___________________________________________________________

No!! I'm not advertising or whatever you're thinking. I'm not receiving any benefits.

But this really gave me some, something.
Perhaps, some motivation to keep struggling with whatever odds in life
Some will power to keep hanging on in life

Well, whatever then. What do you people think?

-really gotta blog more. my blogging gonna be suckier than ever... =(

Joke of the Day

It was Saturday actually.

In a room, with the ceiling fans and air-conditioners switched on.

It was raining outside too.

Which made the environment cooler.

A man came inside and walked towards the front.

And he said, " I'm feeling very cold -lah". (while touching his chest)

Then, he had this brilliant idea.
"I think I should switch on the fan(attached to the wall - next to him)".

He continued, " Then all the cold air will be blown away by the fan. It's very logical isn't it? "

The others were just laughing while those in front were saying,
"NO!! SIR!!! NO!! Very cold -lah!!!"

Yea, he is my Chemistry tuition teacher. One of a kind i would say... =)

shameless people

Yea, Malaysians who are concerned would have been following the case involving Teoh Beng Hock's death.

It is indeed still an unsolved case till date (since two weeks ago).

And nothing much have been done, except his funeral, of course.

Those who are with the smart blue uniforms are doing nothing or maybe they are, but in a tortoise-speed!

WHY??!!

This poor lad actually died after being questioned by the MACC in the same building. So what's gone wrong actually?



And found a video, from another blog : Putt For Change. A video whereby these people in uniforms bashing up one single guy-a suspect in custody.

Let's see our true Malaysia, one and only 1Malaysia!

handing over

Well, it's been more than a year since we have been elected as so-ans-so of this society, club or whatsoever. Yea, we have to pass everything down to our juniors as we gonna retire and leave the school soon.(sounds like I'm so old already. haha)

Seriously, really can't wait to lift all the burdens and responsibilities of our shoulders, maybe only me as some do really enjoy and do want to continue what they are currently doing. But honestly, do feel sad sometimes as we are gonna leave. After all the joy and laughter working around with people. But still, besides the fun part, there's also the sad part. That's normal right, it's called life.
Life would be incomplete without all these. We can't always have only the things we want or wish in life, as we can't decide on it as we don't have any say in this matter. Only He does.

Coming back to retirement (haha), out of four posts, I've handed half of them. -Have retired from:

• Scouts
• International Chess Club

-Not yet:

• Interact Club
• Prefectorial Board

Among these societies I've been in, ermmm... alright, let's have awards for these societies though there are only 4 nominees for each categories.

Best teacher advisor
- Pn Dass from Prefects!! BOOOOOHOOOOO!!!
- Pn Fairoz from chess

Best exco I've worked with
-well, I can't make up my mind for this, michaelians would know why -because, in this school, when you're up there, you're expected to be everywhere and on everything. I actually quote this from a teacher though.

Best student organization
-scouts

My Best assistants (regardless of posts)
- from chess club

Best members
-scouts

Best phantom members (most)
-interact

Most active society/club
-prefect, followed closely by scouts and chess

Best servicing club
-prefect [wait a minute, ''what about interact?", some of you may ask. NO! It's no longer a service club, sigh]

Most drama and 'cekap' acting
-Prefects!! of course!

and the club I love the most
-[drum rolls....... hahaha] CHESS CLUB



And am I proud to be the Senior Instructor of scouts, President of chess and interact, Secretary of prefects? Honestly, it's a yes and no. Maybe, the equilibrium lies more to the 'NO' side, MUCH more I would say.

But there is still a club which really made me satisfied and happy though, which is obviously the Michaelian International Chess Club a.k.a. MICC. I seriously did manage to arrange kinda well for this club with the help of the board and especially the teacher advisor. Thanks a million people! (if you're reading)

On the other side, I could still remember when I returned to SMI to continue my pre-u studies, I told myself to get back into Interact Club since I was in the movement before. I knew I would get the top post. And a lot of expectations from everyone, Rotarian and teachers. But I am pretty sure I failed them badly. Can't blame anyone. (yea, since you people want it so much, put the blame on me then). I just could not believe it sometimes. It was a dream for me to return to this prestigious club to improve it but it fell, deeply in my own hands. How sad was that.

And the place where I learnt most is from Prefectorial Board. Frankly, this is indeed the training ground for me to prepare myself to be able to face the REAL world when I my ass out there one day. These people have really taught me alot of how to be able to react and decide in any situations in future when I enter the real world. Though I'm not really satisfied, I do gain alot (I really mean it, ALOT) of experience here. Thank you too!

Lastly, I really do hope that the handing-over ceremonies or AGM will be real soon. But too bad, One of the AGM(prefect) which was scheduled to be tomorrow had to be postponed to this coming Friday. How sad is that! Thought that I could actually dumped my badges and blazer, but guess I gotta wait, wait for four more days. By then, I do not have to see those people. Not even their shadows or even HAIR. (hope that those who are reading could catch what I meant. HEHE)


And now, it's time to fulfill my duty. My top priority actually. And that'll be

STUDYING!!! WHAT ELSE???!!!

and NO MORE procrastination LEROY!!

as TIME is ticking and ticking and FLYING away....
