Dim Sum vs. Morning Lectures

Vote Earth! Go Green!

2009-03-28T22:01:00.000-07:00

Yes, you saw the title right. I typed this post in conjunction with the Earth Hour ’09 that was held yesterday, 28th of March, at CapSquare, KL. (Well, the title was influnced by Puteri with “Vote Earth” and Joey G, who was the speaker of the event with “Go Green”.) That night, Joey G asked the audiences a very typical yet crucial question, what it means to “Go Green”? He has said that beside switching of the lightings and reducing the usage of electricity a day, there are also other means like not littering, not to waste of water to preserve Mother Earth and etc etc. Those are just the normal ways of people around us do things to be “green”. To think of it again, what it really means to “Go Green”?

I had a friend who asked me this similar question again right after the event. Obviously some would just answer the same like how Joey G said. “But think again do you really know what it means to “Go Green” and what it meant by “Go Green”?” said my friend. After hearing this, I knew want to know something more. (Actually he just needed help in his assignment. LOL) Well, this is what I explained to him.

The colour green to us represents the land, the environment, the very habitat of the very beings like us stay in the heart of our great Mother Earth. The green could represent the very simple cell of an organism to the largest tree on Earth. It was the greens that we as humans have our very basic materials to build our own shelter. It was the greens that to many have thought to bring peace in mind. It was the greens that build up the very foundation of the many cures to the disease as well as for the future of anti-cancer drugs. It was the greens that has been a great habitat for the vast population of various kinds of animals. The very green itself states the primary state of the looks of our lands that is now a tale to tell to many of the countries to their nations’ children. Would you want it to be the same for you in the future?

Without the greens, our Mother Earth would looks as bare from space. The lost of many flora and fauna would eventually become a part of the museum or even just in a book, noting as a story to tell to the following generations ahead of what it looks like. We are not selfish beings who only care for ourselves, we are beings created with interlectual abilities who are able to think of what is best for us as well as for the best of our future generations ahead. You wouldn’t want your children to suffer. You don’t even want you, yourself to suffer from the countless why as well as the countless answer to give to your children, to explain of all the lost environment that we once have. Besides, you don’t want to stroll around the park wearing special made suits and mask. Am I right? Hehe

Go Green to me would mean to vanquish of whatever source that might cause such a tragedy in the future and to do something that might eventually lighten the burden for the recovery of our beloved Mother Earth. You don’t want Mother Earth to do something to us like in the movie “The day after tomorrow” right? It is an act to repay what Mother Earth has gave us, it is to repent of the things that we have taken for granted, it is going towards a goal of restoring the “Green” part of the world, not just for you, or for me. Its for everyone and everything on Earth. Vote Earth! Go Green!

(making the scene as if like in the cave from the matrix show....walking to the stage is me..not Morpheus..haha.. XD) Silence!!!! Hear me!!!

I shall say something that not many people like us or even younger that know anything about it... I believe that most of our parents are concern of the same thing....what is it? What is it that they are afraid of? Do you know? DO YOU KNOW EXACTLY????

People....hear me....what's most important now its the economics....the finance systems...and the other thing that people want it the most MONEY!!!! The section you all skip the most when we are reading the newspapers...what we read are just the normal news....the entertainment news and probably a bit of the world news....but how many has yet to bother about the current situation of the world's economics...

Yes!!! I'm taking about the current economic meltdown.... Does anyone know about the impact and how woould affect us? Do You All Know What's Gonna Happen If We Don't Do A Thing To Improve...To Understand?

I urge u all to seek for information....Make yourselfclear of the situation....Make yourself understand what's going on...Be aware..Be prepared as this will go on till the day we graduate and the 'best' things has yet to come...

People...follow me and lets make people understand of the current status....follow me and come with a campaign to help people around us to be aware to make us suit for the 'better' world ahead... WHO'S WITH ME? WHO'S WITH ME?!!!!

it's a new dawn, it's a new day....

2008-09-15T16:08:00.000-07:00

... and hopefully, it's a new breath of life for malaysia....

Happy Malaysia Day to all... :)

i'm sitting here anticipating the news that was said to come on this wonderful day.... i just read a post by a fellow xaverian who is my senior, vincent, and i would like to share a lil bit of his insights here....

This year we celebrated 51 years of independence. This will be followed by 45 years of integration, of Malaysia, to be commemorated tomorrow. But have we much cause to celebrate?

Truth be told, we are living in somewhat dark circumstances. Recent happenings in our country have brought about a great deal of tension and discord among her people. We are all responsible for our current state, in one way or another. We seem to be in an age where intolerance, injustice and strife are the order of the day.

As Lasallians, we always emphasise the need for solidarity with the last, the lost and the least. We mark it with symbolic actions during the national convention and with prayers during the day for prayers of peace, but what of now. And so it comes to mind that solidarity is what we need, this Malaysia Day. Solidarity as a sign of indivisibility and strength in unity.

So dear Lasallians, wherever you are; and even non-Lasallians (should you be reading this),

If you see nothing, feel nothing of this, then let this day pass like any other.
But if you see as I see, feel as I feel, and seek as I seek, then let us be our best, on this day when our nation was formed.
Let us mark this day by remembering that we are all brothers and sisters under our nation’s flag.
Let this day be remembered for our unity and solidarity with one another, more than everything else.
Let us, on this September 16, celebrate our similarities AND diversity.

This is the invitation to you. If you see yourself as BANGSA MALAYSIA, in the best sense of the word, then draw the Jalur Gemilang on the back of your non-writing hand (unless you possess the convenience of an accomplice). Include a personal statement. You may draw it, sketch it, colour it, paint it etc. That is up to you. No dimensions, no strict guidelines. We’re all different anyway. Just make sure it’s recognisable.

And as we walk out of our rooms, homes, cells, corners on this day, together let us carry the flag of our nation with pride in our hearts, minds and on our hands.

to further mark this LaSallian Action plan for Malaysia Day, snap a photograph of yourself, with your jalur gemilang and make it your profile picture on facebook, MSN, friendster etc.

with this.... i wish all a happy Malaysia Day....

4 more days to the end of the wrath that is created by the notorious UTAR ~!!!!

wahahahahaha....

LPPL.... love peace, peace love yaw.... \m/

Hidden Voices of The Malaysian Youth

2008-09-03T08:01:00.000-07:00

I scrutinise with awe at the walls of the huge monsoon drain beside the Pasar Seni Putra LRT Station whenever I am there. It is a favourite hangout for underground artists, spark some colourful scrawls and visually appealing graffitis. These bright colours and diversed designs are hard to be escaped from the eyes of passersby and commuters, but if looked upon closely, they can bring words of many meanings. Some of them still stand today as the remnant of March 8 political tsunami. 2 months ago, authorities painted the wall white to remove them. And now, they are back...more are yet to be drawned.

p/s pay attention to the floor as well

Like it or not, these so-called annoying vandalism by our government is here to stay. At least, we get our message right across. We are making a move, we are progressing towards a change. Get the picture dude?

i have to replace my laboratory sessions
i have to replace the quizes that i didnt attend
i have to pass up my lab reports... which are still left hanging halfway....
i have to do my society reports and pass it up
i have to replace my lab sessions....
oh i said that already..... still lotsa stuff to do...

i dun feel like going to uni now..... but i have to go.... dilemma.... i want to die... worse is that my friends worry about me.... they may not worry that much.... but still.... dowan them to worry.... makes me feel bad....

aihz... dunno.... someone kill me please....

Sei loh bo internet~~

2008-05-04T17:05:00.001-07:00

30 years ago, you would never see anyone who would jump off the Penang bridge or any high rise building when Pos Negara announced the breakdown of the nationwide postage and telegram service. Even Telekom could not pull out such a big stunt that could mar anyone into pulling a bigger suicidal stunt.

That was the past.

10 years from now, it is very likely that you will read news that people will jump off from, what?? a 3 storey building just because of sudden internet disconnectivity, and big lawsuits and torts are crunching through the corridors of TM Net building.

And the funny fact is, the cheapskate guy who jumps from a 3 storey flat or apartment, could very well be my 3 year old son - or daughter. That is the future.

Ladies and gentlemen, beggars and idiots alike, crappers and the sleepy-heads - I present to you 2018, just 2 years short of Vision 2020 which will mark the highest suicide rate of internet- and computer-related problems in Malaysia which could very be much higher than Japan if TM Net has yet to improve its service and WiFi and WiMax etc have reached skyrocketing fees to cash profits on the les misérables.

Lets get back to 2008. This decade has seen the increased dependency and vulnerability of today's ~~granduncles and grandaunties~~ youngster towards the internet. Simply saying, this generation, we are crippled when we are unable to connect to infinite matrix of the internet. We feel more heartache when we could not log in to Windows Live Messenger than being rejected straight to the face by our partners. In some severe cases, we feel isolated from civilisation when we are not connected to the internet although we are in a crowded mall of a densely-populated urban city. We perceive the 7 billion of worldwide population lives in the internet and not on earth. Ok, that's ironic.

When the wonders of internet was introduced in Malaysia in mid 1990s and my parents got a 58K dial-up connection installed at home with a newly bought PC running on Pentium 1 processor, everyone was fighting over the connection. Though it was only 56K, everyone was happy and it was enough. And they live NOT happily ever after. ~~The end~~~

WRONG! We wanted more - more speed, more capacity, more chat programmes, more free downloads, more networks, more cheatcodes and cracks, more websites, more porno websites, blah blah etc - we WANT MORE!

And Jeng Jeng Jeng - here comes the Age of ~~Empire~~ Broadband where internet is redefined into a whole new level with an array of brand new sophisticated services and abilities. Almost everything electronic can be connected to the internet and controlled faraway including dildos and you know...but still, WE WANTED MORE. And TM Net has come up with a programme to educate consumers to suppress their ever-lustrous need of higher bandwidth by delivering a lower one than is paid and promised.

An accidental flick which kills the connection in various parts could very well send millions of people submitting into depression and thousands other flocking towards counselling centres and psychologists who will not believe they are raking tonnes of money from the virtual state of emergency. Economy will be immobilised and nations would be plunged into an extreme chaotic mayhem until God thinks it is too messy for him to handle that he just kills Noah and make a pact with Lucifer to wipe all humans from the face of the earth. And earthlings will blame the disconnection of the internet for their extinction since God would be unable to disseminate news about Armageddon to His children. Miracles would even need to be delivered using Gmail or Yahoo!.

Ok, I need to call TM Net now ~!@#$%^&*+=

Breakfast's coming....! WEEEEE

2008-04-26T14:54:00.000-07:00

It's the wee hours when people are returning from clubs and puking over hangover, I am wormed up in the hall squinting my eyes at every possible word on my powerpoint slides notes that seems so alien and distant to me. Collectively, they make no sense to me when suddenly your eyes detected the words 'Chee Cheong Fun', Curry Mee and 'Yau Char Kuey' in the periodic table.

Essay question: Write the chemical elements that made up Yau Char Kuey, Chee Cheong Fun and Curry Mee. Answer should includes procedure and its ionic interaction.

People might think I am super crazy and nerdy to salivate upon seeing a chemical periodic table. And of course, nothing beats a morning perked up with a cup of good aromatic coffee with beans that send cozy feelings down your throat and seduce your heart away.

Coffee Arrhenius, anyone?

Except that it shouldn't be on a piece of paper, among the chemical equations - it's so wrong, so wrong tut tut. But I might give it a try, if the carbon printing on the paper is Java coffee beans powder, or the most famous and expensive Kopi Luwak that maybe some of you wouldn't wanna imagine how it is being processed.

Making Coffee 101:

1) Boil water.

2) While waiting for it to boil, tear the unprinted parts of the notes away - into the recycle bin.

3) Tear the printed parts into bits and shreds, place them into a coffee bag and into a cup. You wouldn't wanna your coffee to turn into a coffee flavour congee.

4) Pour hot water into the cup, stir it and let it brew. Cover the cup with a lid to trap the aroma.

5) Taste the coffee, and if it is not strong enough, add more shreds of printed notes into the bag and wait for a while.

6) Remove the bag, and add creamer and sugar according to preference. Your Coffee Arrhenius is ready to be consumed. Run it through the sieve again for a pure, fine and un-starchy gulp.

But for the meanwhile, I think I rather stick to my Nescafe 3-in-1. And so, it is time for breakfast now - not feasting the chemistry notes though, I can't imagine dim sum on the periodic table - WEEEEEEEE!!!

don't you want a free drink?

2008-04-24T09:59:00.000-07:00

"awww.... c'mon... take it, it's free.... mienn fei de..." "we're not selling anything... we're giving free cans of F&N drinks...." *points at the icebox containing the can drinks* "take lah.... nonid to pay wanz"

having repeatedly saying that we have free cans of F&N drinks to give away... they still shun away from us...

some even refused to walk near the van and risk falling into the drain... free stuff oso dowan....

uhhh.... what van, you may ask....

this one.. *points at the picture below*

the F&N freestylz van @ TarC

yups... the F&N freestylz van was outside of TarC where the construction work near the basketball court is....

well, i understand the fact that it's the exam period of the semester.... but can't you just spare
one minute to walk to the van and another one minute in the van, acting as if you are drawing something ??? then you can walk away with a free can of F&N's carbonated drink...

eric, the emcee and the 6-foot can

eric was calling on tarc~ians.... and some utar~ians around to come up to the van to draw something on the 6-foot can in the van to decorate it... and not forgetting to mention that they get free drinks.... these sad ppl just ignore us and some keep putting their index fingers at their wrists..... like eric had put it, "yeah, we know you have a beautiful watch... but come over here for a while lah...."

and there was this guy.. damn lawak... sitting on his bike right in front of us..... eric kept calling on for him... but he just kept looking the other way, macam lah dia tak tau kami panggil dia.... and eric just went on and on..... wahlaoeh.... that guy was damn lansi...

the top of the can... oooOOooo.... :)

i never knew giving away free stuff was this hard... we were reduced to begging them to take the free drinks from us.... you hold up a can to them and ask them to take, they're still reluctant to take it from you... till you shove it right in front of them.... then when you ask the rest of the group to help themselves to the icebox filled with cans of drinks, they just decline the offer and continue walking away....

i was thinking to myself... "korn chue hoi tao toi meh???" [rushing to get reborn again meh?].... this is by far, one of the saddest group of people i've ever seen...

even the camera thinks i'm much more interesting than caryn and her can of F&N orange... =P

to quote blue... it's sad, so sad... it's a sad sad situation.... hanging around there for me sure beats studying for tomorrow's ancillary statistics paper..... hahahaa....

enjoyed kutuk~ing the tarc~ians there.... hehehehe.... i think i've become more and more prone to kutuk~ing people ever since i entered uni..... not a good thing... still, this roadshow thingy happened at the wrong time of the year... most the unis and colleges are having their exams.... not to mention that they are filled with lotsa shy and timid people these days [don't know whether it's a good thing or not]... but the high schools would definitely attract more people anytime of the year....

wheeee.... ~!!

well, i think i should resume studying for my exams.... arghhhh.... and i'm down with a flu too... so much to study... so lil' time.... why lah why ??

oh and the photos are courtesy of my yi kao fu, schizzow..... arigato gozaimas ~!!

LPPL.... love peace, peace love yaw.... \m/
