No place like home...

After two weeks going across a fraction of a couple of the best provinces of China down to Macau and Hong Kong , one can only imagine of an utterly amazing experience I must have had. Besides, spending 5 days in the Metropolitan city of Hong Kong surely must have met up all of the expectation one might have for a city often heard of its wealth and growth in all aspects.

Well, guess again!!

Don't get me wrong, Hong Kong is, in fact, a nice city, with its culture and developments, as any city is, is indeed an extraordinary place to be. However, one thing is lacking, a civilised mindset.

It surely is a shame. In those few parts of China I visited, you can see locals spitting by the corner of the sidewalk, at the corner outside of their own shop, jumping the queue individually and AS A GROUP (>5 person) and feeling nothing about it even after complains from others in line, talking like shouting especially whilst on the phone, smoking in air-conditioned restaurant despite the "NO SMOKING" sign and occasional rudeness. These are but a few that I can remember and the opportunity that I had observing them for the past 2 weeks. Of course, I expect more...hmmm...

In terms of their hygiene, as a whole, well, with the spitting and all, you be the judge!

However, I should comment on their constant use of chlorine in cleaning their dump site and the walkways of their flats. but then again, such constant use of chlorine can spell microbial resistance and a future crisis...

One things is for sure though, people usually say Hong Kong is a shopping paradise. Well, on the contrary I'd say! In terms of choices and varieties, yes, they have more, much more and some quite nice, but in terms of price, I don't see much of a difference. You can sure find loads of branded shops in Hong Kong, but chances are, if there's no sale going on, you're better of shopping those items back at home, be it in Kuching or KL.

What else... let me see...

For all that is lovely and nice:

1) Hong Kong's pastries

2) Portuguese egg tart

3) Musuems

4) BBQ goose

5) Lou Po Peng

6) Public transports

7) Temples

8) Disneyland

9) Casinos

10) Some spectacular sites

11) Suspended bridges

12) Extraordinarily sweet, humongous, juicy lychees

NOte: For the first time, their local food don't impress my palate at all... Nothing special, nothing much...hmmm...

Overall, a splendid experience, one trip that will aware you of the luxury, hygienic practice, multi-linguality, food-blessed Malaysia...

If there's anyone who doesn't appreciate being a Malaysian, try visiting other parts of ASIA. I'm sure you'll be aware of how fortunate you are, of course, despite all the 'little' things happening. Hei! No country is perfect!!

To date or not to date?

Should a university student find a life partner during university life or should they date only upon graduation? The question is a subjective one that solely depends on the individual himself. However, it cannot be denied that neither choice one picks guarantees a bliss and sweet marriage life in the future. There are many reasons, both good and bad, to find a life partner when one is still studying in university. It all depends on how both individuals handle that relationship.

Looking at the cons, dating during your university studies can affect your studies. You can be too tight up with your other partner and your attention will divert away from your academics perhaps even without you yourself knowing. Some might need your constant accompaniment and some might be always asking for your help in his or her own studies, whether it be assignments or reports, subsequently distracting yourself from your own studies.

Besides that, some dates during university studies can be loveless and prove heartbreaking. Some people date just for, what we call, ‘for university use only’. These people date so that they can take advantage of the individual to ease their own life in university. For example, some girls date a guy having a car in campus so that they can easily go anywhere in or out of campus. When they need a ride, they would just make a call and their ‘driver would be there for them. This too happens to guys as they date because the girl can help him in his assignments and academics, giving himself more time to relax and ‘play around’.

Yet another reason for not finding a life partner during university life is that you may not know your ‘crush’ well enough yet to put high hopes in that relationship. He or she might not end up being your spouse. Perhaps that person is masquerading and is not telling you everything about herself but is only telling you what you want to hear. The truth and honesty between couples are important in a healthy and blissful relationship and this might be the vital element that is lacking in university dates.

Turning our attention the other way round, university dating can actually be very up-building to both of the couples. Such relationships can help in stress management from the academics. Each one can support each other in times of distress and need. Besides, some being far away from home can have the sense of care and love from their lover. This can make one emotionally calm and stable from their homesick, thus, giving them more concentration and focus on their studies.

Besides catering their emotional needs, university dating can improve their academic performances. Both couples can have revisions and discussions together and can complement each other on certain subjects.

In a nut shell, there is nothing wrong to find your life partner during university life. It all depends on how both couples handle their relationship. You must control ‘love’ and not let ‘love’ control you.

The Harry Potter- Transformers Equation.

VS

What do you get when :

1 + 2 = 3

2 x 2 = 4

Good + Good = very good

Good + extra Good = Superbly good

What about......

If you get....

Transformers + Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince = Not Bad

Why NOT BAD?

BECAUSE...!!!!

That's what you'll get when you add something as spectacular as Transformers and ruin the whole equation with something as damned as the sickeningly lousy, worthless, utterly boringly, absolutely time-wasting piece of crappy, lousy movie!!!

It really ain't worth my money and time and everything for this, so-called infamous Harry Potter movie! This one's a total disgrace from what people thought it was. Now it will only remain as a was. There is and will never be anymore good movies from harry potter. It sucks all the faith and funnel it down the filthy, dark, rubbish-filled drain!!

Hell with Harry Potter...

Time to move on....

Slower than a snail!!!

If Ya'll could read this post, this means at least the wireless at BRC is still not bad la..

Rubbish!! Line was and is still so slow here at my block. Even worse still in my room!! What kinda line is this....!! aduh.... ADUH!!! Nothing else to say.... haiz..

All the best to everybody!!! Senior liao wo!!! Getting old, man...

The unfortunate

This is heart breakingly saddening...

You think you're unfortunate enough with troubles? You know nothing yet!!

Click this link (congenital malformation by Vivek Ghapure) and see for yourself the unfortunate of unfortunates...( be warned that the site contains graphical images. Descretion is adviced)

After you've seen all these deformities, you'll start to wonder how brave doctors are and how much under-appreciated they always are by us.

You gotta stop to wonder why these things happen.... how much these victims of such unfortunate happenings suffer in their struggle to live just one day more with the hope of having a more normal and comfortable life through the help of modern surgical advancements and improved surgical methods.

Perhaps it is time to start to get aware of non-profit charitable organizations set-up and give the support and encouragement in which ever way that is proper in aiding these poor friends all around the world!

If you've noticed, all the sufferers are 0f the Indian Communities in India where life is hard and where they struggle even to just have a chance to see the sun rise another day... What more so to say of their capabilities to fee those complicated and expensive medical bills for their treatments? Certainly help from the good-will of the more fortunate all around the world are greatly needed!

Green Ribbon Association Kuching is a non-profitable non-government organization which aids the less fortunate in Kuching to have an improved live. They are all-out more than ever-so-willingly to help anyone hiting the financial brick wall in pursuit of medical treatments.

Guys.... reach out... Help them... for starters..... It will not be unseen...

Friendship Park..How Pretty..??

With its cloudy golden yellow evening sky, with green grasses and weeping willow trees and red bottle brush flowers painting a garden all-too-perfect, along with a large reservoir of fish pond, a place where you can see kids running around from one end to another holding fish foods or breads throwing them to the fishes of various colors, size and species, it all seems like a view in dreams for us who are living in todays' modern world.

This might all be just a masquerade. Somewhere at the far ends at the corner of the seemingly almost-perfect painting is all burnt down as irresponsible people of the community, as damned as they are to you and me, so are they to mother nature!

A place so nice that it is being charred by these....

This is just one side of the picture you see.. the other side's even worse! Rubbish rubbish RuBbish EVERYWHERE at the corners of the pond!
