Holiday! Finally!

Yay! The holidays is finally here! Although 3 days is nothing compared to the week long holidays that we have during the semester break, it’s still a good stress relief for me! Since the last holidays which was like generations ago, we had no holidays at all. None! Instead of holidays, the past month was filled with gruelling tests. And after each and every test, the more I feel more stressed because of the tough questions that the test requires us to answer. Well, thank goodness that all the test are finally completed.

Now, all I have to worry after this holiday is the upcoming mid-year exam which is very very important. No test or exam is more important than the mid-year exams. No! The only thing more important than the mid-year exams is the final exams which is super duper important compared to the mid-year but that’s still a long way to go so now mid-year is considered the most important thing in this period of time.

However, the thing that now I can’t wait is the holidays which has already arrived! I’m so happy! 3 days of rest is definitely a miracle medicine for stress but of course a week long holiday will be far more better than a 3 day holiday but what can I say? 3 days is better than none rite?

It was a Fun Charity Day!!!!

April 28th 2005 will be a date that will always remain in my heart always. Today Taylor’s College’s South Australian Program (SAM) held a Charity Drive which was a whole lot of fun! There was all kinds of stuff from our traditional Malaysian nasi lemak to Japanese sushi to Taiwanese bubble tea to umbrella girl or slaves to Dunkin Donuts to Domino’s Pizza to all kinds of games like mini pool, electric wire, boxing to dunking station to hair colour spraying to henna and body art to song dedications and many many many more which I can’t list them all down.

I spent like RM150 today just on the Charity Drive itself. I bought tons of stuff, food, drinks to games and even hair colour spraying! All in the name of charity. The best part was when the DJ announced that the SAM Program Director was going to get dunked at the dunking station. This was the first and the last time that the SAM Program Director got dunked. And guess who dunked her? You’ll never guess it. It’s her executive secretary! Imagine dunking your own boss!!! I don’t think I’ll ever get that chance when I start working.

About my group’s stall, we were selling pizza. Domino’s Pizza to be exact. It was good business today. Our pizzas were selling better than hot cakes! It was hot pizzas!! The pizzas couldn’t even get cold before they were all sold out! Once when 10 boxes of pizzas were delivered I went off to enjoy myself for a while and when I returned 10 minutes later there were only 2 pizzas left! We kept ordering and ordering again and again to fulfill the demand which was so high. It was out of our expectations! At the end of the day, I think our stall was one of the first to close shop and gained a profit of RM500 plus which will all go to charity. That’s one good deed all of us has done! I feel so proud of myself and my classmates and all SAM students which took part in the Charity Drive.

Well, each person should definitely experience at least once a charity event to raise funds for the needy and the community and do your role in helping the community to develop further and harmoniously!

Joy to the World!

A Small Technical Problem

My blog site will be down for a while because the template provider of my blog is currently facing some database problems. They’ll fix it in no time (I hope!). Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Burp! Burp! Burp!

Well, this really happened in the cinema 1 meter away from me on Saturday. The movie I was watching was already boring (refer to my previous post) and then there must be a stupid guy behind me and my friends to start burping around. It was like every 3 seconds he would burp soft but still able to hear from my distance and every 10 to 15 minutes he would let out a loud burp accompanied by all those stuff that he ate before he entered the cinema. It was a horrible trail.

Providing that the cinema is already so noisy with people moving and whispering around, handphones vibrating and sometimes ringing out loud, and also the movie in front in already enough to provide enough bearable noise for the ears but no, there must be a disgusting and unmannered person behind me burping around releasing fumes of digested slime from his stomach.

Why are people nowadays so unmannered. It seems that our society’s moral value and manners are deteriorating faster and faster. Sneezing behind someone’s head is already enough to make a person feel irritated and disgusted but there’s still other kinds of immoral people that must burp every 3 seconds and letting out a big one every 10 to 15 minutes. The worst was at the end of the movie when he let out his grand finale which was the most annoying, disgusting and loudest of all burps throughout the 2 hour movie. It was total torture. 2 hours sitting there trying to concentrate on the movie but every 3 seconds there is an interruption which is so distracting and disgusting that made me feel that I just want to give that person a punch in the mouth!

Society must be rid of these kind of immoral people that have no sense out what’s good manners and disgusting acts. Society and movie watching will be a much better place without all these bad apples as the saying goes, a single rotten apple makes the whole basket of apples rotten.

The Jacket?

DISCLAIMER: To those who have not seen the movie “The Jacket”, I recommend that you do not continue reading because the following post contains information that could ruin your watching pleasure of this movie, if you actually plan to go watch it.

To all those people out there that has seen the movie “The Jacket” with main actor Adrien Broody, I just want to ask whether did you enjoy the show? I’m just so amazed that the writer can actually come out with a movie based on a supposedly mental patient, Jack Starks (Adrien Broody) suffering from amnesia in Alpine Grove (a mental hospital) and when he gets tied up in a jacket to restrict him from moving around and then locked up in a small drawer in the dark, he experiences time shift where he travels from the year 1992 to the year 2007 and then found out that this only occurs when he is in the drawer and is the only solution to his recovery as a mental patient.

The movie is jumping from time to time all the time and is just a story of how this Jack person travels into the future, help a doctor recover a patient that she has been treating for many years, helps a girl and her mother from leading a suffering life and finding out that he himself will die in 4 days. It’s amazing that the story line is only 5 days long, from December 25, 1992 to January 1, 1993.

However, although the story line was simple and a little boring, the director has done a good job by making the movie not as boring as reading the story alone on paper without graphic stimulation. All in all, the show wasn’t worth the 11 bucks I paid for it but at least 70% was worth it!

The Pope Has E-mail!!

It was announced in the news recently that our new Pope, Pope Benedict XVI now has an e-mail address where people from all over the world can e-mail him just to say hi or to express their thoughts and concerns to the Pope. Looks like that Pope Benedict XVI wants to follow Pope John Paul II’s foot steps by being at the same step with technology.

Well, it’s good being in touch with technology. I’m sure no one wants to be left out in the world of technology. Pope John Paul was wise to use the media which now has an ever growing power over the minds of humans to spread the word of God. It looks like Pope Benedict XVI also plans to do the same. Technology definitely has an impact on society and the Vatican has definitely used it for means of peace and harmony to spread the word of God to the entire world.

Although Pope Benedict XVI was formerly known as Cardinal “No” because he says no to everything against religion, he still says “Yes!” to technology. At least he has a thinking of using technology and not sticking to the old conservative and conventional ways. We must progress together with technology and so does religion. All religion should progress together with the changes of the world and not just staying put at one place stuck there forever and ever…

For Pride or Self-Respect

I just can’t understand why people can’t make quick decisions? Why just to make a small little decision, a few days must make its course. When you ask the person he seems so enthusiastic at it but however when a decision is needed he’ll say I’ll need a few days. Does making a decision need a few days? Even the government of United States can make a decision to drop an atomic bomb in less than a day. As we all seen on AXN, a game can be decided in 30 seconds, peace can be declared in 30 seconds, a person can be famous in 30 seconds so why can’t decisions be made in 30 seconds too?

 

As usual, the reason is always other things other than the person himself. Why is it always other people’s fault and not the person’s fault? Why blame other people when you are the one that is to blame? Of course each person has their own level of self-pride to some extent that other people are always responsible for your own wrong doings. I do admit that sometimes I am like that but at least controlling our self-pride and humbling ourselves for once will definitely bring people’s eyes to your eye level.

Self-realisation, that’s what Buddha achieved 3000 years ago under the Bodhi tree in Nepal. May be that’s what some people need to try to achieve instead of being so boastful and bossy. Instead try being humble, bring yourself back down to Earth instead of putting yourself pup in space where there isn’t anyone to join you.
