Of Mountains, Environmental Education and Zero Waste

Most of you must have watched Namewee's latest video on TNB already. The link's here if you have not watched it. I give him my two thumbs up for standing up for the people in the country. But for someone his age, it is absolutely childish and ridiculous to behave the way he did. It might be courageous of him to go up to TNB and make a big fuss out of it. What would he get in the end? Attention. From who? People who can't do anything about it. We all know what's happening in the country. It's a matter of fact. I support him for his boldness, but not his irrational act. Does raising his voice, screaming at the top of his lungs help? He can't control how people choose to live their life. And we already have enough of leaders people who only talk the talk and not walk the talk. I'm not angry. I'm just baffled as to how irrational he has portrayed =.= _____ *changes serious tone* Side track a bit. Heehee. Read this from Kitty 's blog, it's quite in...

Remember I almost lost my choice of elective ? We had the first lesson for design and illustration today! It's loads of fun! We aren't expected to be able to draw perfectly and at least at the end of the semester, we should be able to improve our skills by a level or two. The last time I was crazily into illustrations was two years ago. And drawing has always been fun! We did something simple today. We were split into "tribes". So each "tribe member" should critique his members' work. Since it's an elective, the class is made up of interesting people from different classes. There is someone who sketches on a daily basis and on the end there is another who is afraid of drawing yet inspires to be involved in the field. Okay I'm not gonna be all cliched and talk about their inspirations blah blah blah. -_- Something exciting! For us to be able to illustrate digitally, each of us is loaned a tablet for the semester! Yay! I swear Sam was soooo jealous...

I'm sick and tired of complaining and listening to complaints. Instead, I will work harder, no matter how many free riders/slackers/stupid people I might have to work with. Nothing is fair in this world. Things don't always go my way but I can make my way around it. I want to and I will get GPA 3.8. =) Don't complain, just work harder.

I was so excited by the Penang Bridge International Marathon until I found out the event'll be held in November and not December. What a disappointment. -_- It feels great to be home for a week! Home cooked food, family, TV, etc.! And I get to drive! =D My dad still refuses to sit beside me while I'm driving. I'm pretty bad at it but I'm improving! Though I still can't overcome my phobia for narrow roads. -_- That particular afternoon while I was driving, another car was on the other side of the road but the road was too narrow for it to get through. The driver gestured that I'd made the move first. And I was panicking that I refused to move AT ALL. The driver drove through only when my mom finally persuaded me to reverse the car. He muttered something that I couldn't understand with the windows up. =.= I think he was cursing. _____ The Internet here is horrible, horrible, horrible! I slept through the day coz I couldn't access the Internet. =(

Next Wednesday will be my last day working! So excited! Work's killing me. -_- And the pay is pathetic. You work like a cow and you get less than what you worked for. Not that I wanna complain but seriously... every part timer is getting a pay rise and I can't coz I don't work long enough to complete my training. -_- I'm gonna quit this job and go back home for 2 weeks. I need a good rest. I'm sleep deprived. Nightmares and cluttered mind made it worse. I woke up from a nightmare again today. The worse nightmares are those that you remember vividly after you wake up. I still remember my nightmare 2 weeks ago and it's not nice. Feels like an omen. Dad got into an accident. He got knocked down by a car when he was on his motorcycle. And again, I was the last to know. He's fine now but he's got a huge patch of burn on his arm. I don't like this. The last time my mom was hospitalised, she kept it from me until my bro called. I know they didn't want m...

I almost lost my choice of electives. The allocation for electives was done today. Apparently, the elective I chose was high in demand. So we had to draw lots. And I was one of them . Imagine having a keen interest in design and illustration for years, and finally I decided I'm gonna venture in the advertising industry. Then someone tells you, "Oh you only have 7/9 chance of getting it," and that your destiny lies in the little ping pong ball. At the point of time, I was actually convincing myself to accept the 2nd choice even though I obviously didn't want to. Missing out on this elective would practically mean I miss out the whole lot of it. And seriously, come to think of it, I once told myself I wished to be an advertising person, until I diverted away from it for a while. And you know what, the balloting exercise felt like a.. ...Grammy Award. As it was done in the lecture theatre, people actually cheered for the balloters. 02 literally screamed their lungs out. ...

在Ring的部落格读到这，蛮有意义的。 =) 一个成熟的爱情... 有一位心理学家曾写过，一个成熟称得上真爱的恋情必须经过四个阶段，那就是： - 共存(Codependent) - 反依赖(Counterdependent) - 独立(Independent) - 共生(Interdependent) 第一个阶段：共存 这是热恋期间，情人不论何时何地总希望能黏在一起。 第二个阶段：反依赖 等到情感稳定后，至少会有一方想要有多一点自己的时间做自己想做的事，这时另一方就会感到被冷落。 第三个阶段：独立 这是第二个阶段的延续，要求更多独立自主的时间。 第四个阶段：共生 这时新的相处之道已经成形，你的他/她已经成为你最亲的人。你们在一起相互扶持，一起开创属于你们自己的人生。你们在一起不会互相牵绊，而会互相成长。 但是，大部分的人都通过不了第二和第三阶段，而选择分手，这是非常可惜的。 很多事只要好好沟通都会没事的，不要耍个性，不要想太多，要互相信任，这样，第二和第三阶段的时间就会缩短。 和所爱的人相遇相恋是非常不容易的，不要轻言放弃。 两人相聚是因为有缘，相知是因为有心，真的得好好珍惜这福分。希望能给大家一些启示和领悟，并惜缘。 我们会渐渐变成我们所爱的人。你和他本来没有相同之处，外表不相像，性格也南辕北撤,一旦爱上了，年深日久，你会惊讶你的眼睛有点像他的眼睛，他的微笑也有点像你的微笑。你们走路的步伐也有点相似，说话的语气也越来越相像。原来我们会变成我们所爱的人。 你本来喜欢脚踏实地的人，而他一向比较轻佻，但你们爱上了，他竟会不知不觉变成一个老实人，这个改变，连他自己也不曾察觉。他本来喜欢活泼的女孩，却爱上 拘谨的你，这些日子，你竟会越来越活泼，你差点认不出自己。我们会逐渐变成对方理想中的人，这种改变绝对不是刻意的。两个人越爱得长久，气质也越来越相 近。 你曾经以为他不是你梦寐以求的那种类型，然而，有一天，你会惊讶的发现，他已经变成你喜欢的那种类型，你不必再到处寻觅，他就是你要找的人。深深爱着一个 人的时候，你原来真的会一点一点的失去自己，为什么你还会觉得快乐呢？大概是因为你在失去的时候，你把他的气质和微笑都赚回来了。 幸福很单纯，所以要很单纯的人才容易获得。 真爱就是不轻言放弃。
