silly yet meaningful pictures
 
HMC first ever ball night
Starlight rendezvous ... That was the theme for this first annual ball brought to us by Help Matriculation Center . What do I think about it ??? .... To tell the truth, in the scale of one to ten, I might only get 6 . needless to say, the food wasn't touched much since no one feel like eating a whole lot ( we aren't pigs), no one want to stuff their stomach full. Luckily I don't have to act like a doll and eat little, so whatever they serve, at least I get to taste .... Just not the shark fins. Though most of the time, artificial shark fins are served, but still .... It always reminds me of the picture on the discovery channel where those sharks that were captured for their fins get thrown back into the sea and left to death due to massive blood loss. Imagine, how cruel it is, and we are enjoying it like they are supposed TIA be treated this way, I just cannot do that !!! It's inhumane ... What happens to the theory where human should live in harmony with their environment ?? Deprive them of their lives means harmony ?? I don't think so. gosh ... Sorry ... I strayed from my topic, well continue .... The nice part during the dinner is that I don't need to take food for myself ... ahaha someone willingly serve me :p ..... So gentleman .... Well most of the time, when I go for dinner, someone will serve me though ... Sometimes the waiter just stands there and serve me ... So not counted ... Whatever ..... So .... All through the ball, we have bands playing some noisy songs ( Janeiro and Edwin keep on criticizing about it ... But I think the first band was okay .. The drummer performs quite well) then ... There is this girl who performs ballet ( jamir said she's too big in size for a ballerina), following, is a cha cha performing .... This was the best part ... Both of them perform very very well ... Though I can't see clearly .... Because edwin's head keep on blocking me. So I gave up ... And look at Jason ( miss winnie's son) instead ... He is so adorable ... Because he dance along with them !!! ahaha Aften all ten course had been served ... The ball finishes .... And everyone's camera started flashing ( because that's picture time !!!) weird .... I don't know why .. But I just don' t feel like taking too much picture ... That might be because of my introvert part ... And another thing would be because I am worried about the time !!! It's running late .. And I don't want dad to be waiting for me ... That would be very very bad of me to keep him staying awake ... However, the picture sessions still goes on for an hour and a half .... So then ... I took quite a bunch of pictures also ... I look stupid and unreal though ... ( low self-esteem kicking in ) ahahha ..... However, all in all ... It's quite a memorable night ... Because everyone enjoys themselves .... P/s: I forgot to state that, sway boon ( that sweet looking girl in my class .. hehehe ) she won the title of the first prom queen ... YEAH !!!!!
Understanding teenagers
My group was asked to do a project on this topic , but I don't really know where to start. Since I am also in my teens, so I am also a teenager right ? Therefore, should I start understanding myself before getting to know, or trying to think of others ? I suppose I should do so, since almost all teenagers behave in the same way at this stage of life where we all faces problems from all aspects of life, ranging from family, love, friends, financial to studies. How unfortunate for us, teenagers living in this era to cope with life when everyday, the world is changing and moving on in a face pace. We were left stranded in the middle, confused, not knowing what to do and where do we start, not to mention how. At such a tender age, our brain hasn't yet develop fully so we might think a little differently from the adults, but this doesn't seem a good enough excuse for the adults when they found out that we have done something wrong. We will be judge according to the society's standard of ethical conduct, which needless to say, are a set of rules and regulations agreed upon by ADULTS ....... How frustrating it is for us to try and think like an adult when in truth, we haven't the ability to do so ? Even then, we have tried so hard just to please all those giants in the society by being obedient, without considering much about our own feelings, however, in return all we get would be just another disapproval or discouraging comment. To teenagers, the longing for parental recognition is so intense that, they at times, are willing to do anything in the world so as to get a few words of praise. But it would be too much to asked for most of the time, and when they does praise, the world, in the eye of a teenager, seemed suddenly brightened with all sorts of colors, they can hear the birds chirping and the cow would jump over the moon( not literary though). Setting that aside, there are still problems with friends where we wanted to belong to a group, to feel accepted because we don't like being isolated and odd out, getting that treatment would be the most traumatizing experience for all of us- teenagers. Due to the need to be in a group, teenagers would sometimes do crazy things, to the extent of violating the law, all because they wanted to be the in-group. That is when things would go awry;when they didn't think before they act, terrible consequences that proves fatal would result. Of course those attitudes are by all means terrible and not encouraged to be adopted by teenagers, but thinking back, I wonder where do they learn all those acts from ? It is very unlikely that terrible idea such as murder would just struck their mind without societal influences whatsoever. Meanwhile, not all teenagers behaved badly, there are still a majority that knew how to conduct their behavior in an acceptable manner; they have a clear conscience and they behave well most of the time. That's because they knew their responsibilities well as a teenagers; they are the leaders of tomorrow, and they wouldn't ruin their future because of some silly decision that was made at the heat of the moment. Certainly, there are times when they will be a little rebellious, but that doesn't mean the they are very bad, when comparing to juvenile offenders. A little fights they put up with their parents is inevitable considering when they are at this age of confusion, and well .... Let's face it ! Even adults wouldn't just obey meekly to everything they were told to do, right ? So then, why do adults expect complete obedience from teenagers? If we were to obey hundred percent to what they say, then what's the use of giving us education ? Aren't education a means of aiding us to think and then react to situations according to our own perception ? Well sadly, for the most part of our society, parents still hold to the believe that children should be seen but not heard ... Bravo, see what has it lead us to - total frustration. Because of the building frustration, we gave up trying to communicate with our parents, but later on, we were blamed for NEVER trying to communicate with them. In conclusion, we- teenagers more often then not get blamed for whatever that went wrong in this stage of our lives. This has been a rather tiring journey for us, striving hard to get recognition, love,and guidance. Sometimes, all we want is a little support form our parents and friends .... So please, be a little more UNDERSTANDING towards us - teenagers.

 don't know since when ...... i started collecting all this computer graphics, i just like those images too much ..... i fancy them because they look so perfect ..... and nice to draw ( even thought i never manage to make them as perfect as it seem to be here)
Tragic day
just like every morning, i woke up early and spend an hour getting ready ( it's not that i'm extremely slow, it's just that i feels so sleepy, i practically am sleep walking to the toilet, brush my teeth and change into my clothes), well so don't blame me for my slowness....... he he he he continue with my story then, i finish breakfast then head to the train station as usual ....... then, out of the blue, when i was scanning my touch n go card, they indicate that my remaining credit is insufficient, and i wasn't alowed to pass. Worst of all, the machine lets out a loud warning beep ( as if i'm not embarrassed enough already !!!), so those passers-by keep on turning their head and look at me.... ( their curious glance makes me feels like some idiot who doesn't know how to use a card) ..... sadly the trouble doesn't stop there !!! after i top up the card, it still remains unuseable...... how FRUSTRATING !!!!! P/S: with such a depressed feeling, i doubt whether i will do well in english mid-term this afternoon......
geisha, a life
Geisha, a life is a life story of a reknown giesha in a place called Gion Kobu. Reading this book had not been that much of a pleasure, as the description on those proceedings of a geisha's work are some what dull. While in other aspects, the author wrote briefly on the happenings. The main reason i am not into this book, is due to the different opinions i had in life with the author's. She emphasis on self pride till the extent that she never will admit when she is wrong, most of the time, she take pride in herself so much ...... its unbearable. Forgive me, i am not very tolerant with people that held their nose high all the time ,( bet the nose can touch the sky already) . Considerable amount of self pride is of course important, but not too much, or one would be turned into someone that is disrespectful of other's feelings, and this is the worst friend that one would want to have !!! Imagine having a friend that would remark at you, saying something like : " how could you eat this ? ( a food prepared by your mother) It looks revolting, like a puddle of feces!" I am sure no one wouldn't be offended by such a remark. However, that's what someone with extreme self pride and no sense of respect will do. Maybe , i might be too critical of the author's personality, but nonetheless, i am merely voicing out my opinion. Because, the first thought that struck me when i am reading this book, is that how unbearable she is !!! I am aware that i had always tried to conceal my feelings in public, so writing is the only way i could vent out my frustrations on things i dislike, haaahha .... sorry it sounds so serious, actually , its more like .... honesty isn't always favorable, so somethings are meant to be kept a secret. Luckily for me, so far, i've only met people who are pleasant. There are one or two blacksheep i met in the leadership camp, but i have forgotten about it, i am not one who likes to pick faults on people...... so as long as i keep my optimistic view of the world, my life is pleasant, as it has always been.
The colour of emptiness
What is the colour of emptiness ? According to my understanding, it is a feeling of being sad and lonely because nothing seems to have any value. besides, it is also used to indicate that there is nothing or nobody in a place, an empty space. However, the word emptiness has a very wide range of meaning. Different people would have different perception of it. For example, emptiness could have meant the absence of feelings. Thus, the word emptiness is a vague word. Nonetheless, all the definitions provided for the word tends to be of the negative side, giving me a gloomy feeling just thinking over that word. Therefore, I would say that to me, the colours of emptiness is black. Being the darkest of all the colours, black signifies the power of darkness, accompanied by the feeling of sadness, hollowness, and loneliness. Futhermore, people then to have the preconcieved notion that when a place is pitch black, it is empty. In most cases, this were proved to be true. Since a darken room most likely will appear to be empty or deserted. After carefully evaluating the meanings of emptiness in my opinion, I feels that black colour is the best option to represent my idea of emptiness.
critical thinking
I was asked to define the meaning of realtionship in my critical thinking. But, i find it hard to answer such a question because, i myself are not very good on this particular matter. According to the dictionary, relationship means the way in which two or more poeple are connected. It could also be indicating the way in which two or more people or groups behave towards each other. Besides, i could also means a loving and sexual association between two people. So, after processing this information, what do I understand about this word??? Frankly, i think this is a vague word. The meaning of it could have been anything, since everyobe have got a different perception of it. The descriptions provided by a dictionary are merely the publisher's point of view agreed by the majority of the society. Relationship, what do i understand about this word??? In my opinion, it is a bond, a connection between a human being with another human being, enabling them to be interconnected with each other in one way or another. Is this the correct ?? Or does it sound the same as what the dictionary mentioned?? Maybe they are the same, howevere, i was asked to express its meaning using my own language, thus i have no choice but to repeat the whole thing with a little modification of my own creation. you must have think it is a waste of time right ?? wasting my time typing this stupid things out. Well i thought the same, but who cares ?? I have a right to type !!!
