recent happenings......

okay, my friend Julian introduced this riddle game, Zahada, to me and it is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. the riddles are quite difficult and challenging. it makes your brain crack like a fragile pot dropped ten times. even to get to the website is a riddle by itself. heheheheheheh. i am enjoying every single one of the riddle so far. level 25 already, you know.

read a lot of books. okay, okay, only three. i have not started studying yet, maybe next week. loving the free time i am having. indulging my self with non-stop television, songs, and books.
currently, i love my life.

....trip to KL tower....

people,

i just got back from my little trip to the KL tower. and yeah (for those ignorant ones) that building is damn tall and the fourth tallest in the world. actually i went there because my dad was being awarded some award for being best at his job. there were other people there too. it was some competition at his workplace and he won it (champion, man.). whose father he is? mine, what.PROUD OF HIM.

anyways. we reached there around 12.30 pm . there we went up this extremely fast elevator. it was so fast. i could literally see it took seconds to go up to 250 meters above ground. it was fun. when it was going elevating we were all having ear block and we started to yawn ourselves out of it.

the lunch was at this extremely cool restaurant. it was moving. yeah, kinda. it was like moving. yeah. in Malay that restaurant is called RESTOREN BERPUTAR. yeah it was fun. i was sitting at the right place with the twin towers to my view. a few minutes i (actually...hmmmmm) paid attention to somebody speak and the twin towers was gone. vanished. i was sitting with a view of clouds. that's when i noticed that the restaurant was moving. it was so cool.

the food there is A-W-E-S-O-M-E = DELICIOUS. they had the normal local food which all standard buffet lunches have, everything tasted so good. then, i moved on to the western style buffet. OH MY GOSH. it was a dream come true for a food lover like me. they had (let me take a deep breath) pasta, sushi (i didn't taste that), thousand island salad, potato salad, fried potatoes, lasagna, baked potatoes, roasted chicken, (something like) grilled fish, toast,and yeah loads and loads more. now for the main attraction. D-E-S-E-R-T-S. OK really. the deserts there were the best i have ever tasted. wait a minute, I NEVER TASTED HALF THE DESERTS THERE BEFORE. really, its true. they had chocolate cake, chocolate fudge, chocolate moose. chocolate pie, peanut pie, a variety of biscuits, a variety of ice creams,bread and butter, hot chocolate fudge, cream caramel, and loads more (which i can't remember).

to think i would waste my chance to taste everything, shame on you. i ate everything. yes, EVERYTHING. from the local cuisine to the western ones (except sushi, i don't like raw fish), and the deserts. yes, every single one of them. they were all delicious especially the deserts. loved them. all chocolates are my favourite.

the view from up there is so cool. cars appear to be more like ants and humans are microscopic. one of my dad's friends said that when they saw using a binoculars into building, they spotted someone not working but sleeping on their desk. yeah, we were laughing about it on our journey back home. everything was so cool.

i will be posting photos later so if you want to look at how great the tower is, then visit my page later (meaning in a weeks time).

i got to go now people. must start doing some amount of job to lose the weight i have gained from eating all those highly recommended stuff. haiz.

So What!!!!!!!

so what
I'm still a rock star
i got my rock moves
and i don't need you


hahahahaha. yeah people. this song is being sung (by me) to my one and only enemy, the exams results.

guess what,
I'm having more fun.

yeah, everybody. i definitely had SOME fun listening to the nagging from my dad and mum. i know i did not that well but still i don't regret doing whatever i did when i was supposed to be studying. for me life is meant to be enjoyed thoroughly. i definitely do not want to waste my time studying like a mad fool and getting all A's. i would rather have a lot of fun in my second last year in secondary school (and suffer like an idiot next year).

Exams are like the railings that keep the horses in caged-up land. most horses stay in that area but some are wild and they will jump over the railings and run wild. i am one of those horses. i don't regret doing it at all. actions have consequences. i am going to be a man and handle them.
yeah. so i was there yea-ing for all the nagging and everything. i mean i did my exams to the not-best-of-my-ability way so i don't feel really stupid. i just feel good that i didn't cheat.

cheating. well, for me, cheating in exams is just a waste of time. you cheat now, you will get caught later, anyway. if not in school, then it the hands of God. it is all recorded UP THERE you know. there is really no way around it. all you cheaters out there, i have one thing to say, you not cheating us but yourselves.

anyway. i am done being stupid. next year, me got to work hard like a mad fool and all. great talking to you guys. it takes my burden off. bye.

PS. friends who really care. i will do my level best to get all A1s next year. well, it is the BIG YEAR.

SPM is here......

well, everyone born in the 1991 must be fidgeting (and crying ) for SPM started today. before i go blabbering about other stuffs, i would like to wish everyone i know a-big-huge-biggest good luck anyone had ever wished them; akkas, chehchehs, kohkohs, annaes, abangs and kakaks, too.


SPM. this three alphabets (usually blamed for robbing the liveliness of the last secondary school year) will make most of the fifth formers pee in their pants. they stay up till late night to do their (so called) last-minute look through. they drown themselves with coffee just to make sure they don't fall asleep early. these things are normal and teenagers and children do that all the time (sigh* yeah right)

SPM is not an exam that proves that you are intelligent. a string of A1'S does not necessarily mean that you will be successful in life. yeah, i know. then what's the point of sitting for this BIG exam? nothing? no. its just the small beginning for some huge things in the world. (you fifth formers, do not take SPM for granted, read my next line ) nevertheless, it is crucial for a Malaysian student to take this test since it is (the so called) the base for any worthwhile job there is.

So GOOD LUCK to all those fifth formers. make sure you tell me about your papers in my cbox, okay.

Are You a Reader?

who is a reader? so, go on, tell me. who is a reader? some one who reads. hmmmm. lets see, a reader is some one who READS. define read. aha... that's where our opinions (or point of views )come in. reading something can be reading anything. the newspaper, magazines, newsletters. there are book-orientated reads too; fiction, fantasy, nonfiction, sci-fi, thriller. what makes someone who reads a reader?

well, i am a bit confused too. when i started this post, i was thinking to write HOW TO BE A GOOD READER, but then again, i got mixed up and ended up with this topic. it intrigues me too. what makes one a reader? is that by merely reading the sentences, paragraphs, short stories or novels that you become a reader. isn't there so much more to be a reader?

a reader is one that understands the writer, connects with the book, appreciates the style, admires the prose, and most importantly, loves reading. just reading a book does not make you a reader. (my teacher, would not agree on this, but what the heck) i mean seriously, if that is the case, then everyone can be a reader.

this lack of acknowledgement to the real readers make them one of the communities that are facing extinction. this reminds me of a post by Sharon bakar. here it is. according to the national literacy thrust which recently did a survey of 30000 pupils in UK, it proves that :

... children's reading habits slump dramatically after they start at
secondary school. The typical eight-year-old reads nearly 16 books a year but,
by the time they reach 15 or 16, this has dwindled to just over three books per
year. The big drop-off starts after the first year of secondary school, when the
number of books read falls from nearly 12 a year to just
six.
so people, don't just stand there watch readers extinct. go and grab a book (of a genre you like, of course) and start reading. a wise man (i forgot his name) once said, reading is the only tool that unlocks the world.
