Running over cats and dogs

0 Yawns
This morning while on the way to work, I witnessed a white cat almost being ran over by a 4WD. OMG!! Thankfully the car was kind enough to slow down so that the cat can run back to safety and think twice about crossing the road. In fact my father said that the cat was attempting to cross the road for few time. Heck, why can't they just stay properly in one place?! Poor cat poor cat.

A good 10 minutes after driving, we then saw blood smears on the road. A dog. Black colour dog being ran over and we couldn't swerve on time to avoid driving over it. >>.<<

Some years ago while driving to Ranau, I remembered a dog which had his front limbs being knocked by a car. OMG the dog was in tremendous pain and keep on crying. It hopped in front of a big lorry to cry for help and I refuse to see what happened after that. Perhaps the lorry driver would be kind to it. I hope. 

Perhaps what drivers can do is not to accelerate when seeing animals crossing. In less busy roads, it doesn't hurt get out of the car to remove these animals from blocking your way. But I guess most of the time, these things just happens.

Liu Xiaobo's controversial Nobel Peace Prize

0 Yawns
"When someone slaps you in the face, insults your motherland and rips up the dignity of your people, you cannot talk nice, be a good student and try to create a good impression."
obtained from here 

Full translation of the above quote:-

One cannot say that the Nobel Prize is pointless. Each year, this group of people spend so much time, effort and money to do this, so there must be some point. Superficially, this is about advancing peace among mankind. But this does not stop the Nobel Committee from giving the prize to a warmonger. Just as soccer fans sometimes fail to understand the actions of the referees, the people of the world were astonished to watch the shameless sight of a Nobel Peace Prize winner talking about the significance of his prize while “surging” troops into Afghanistan and also selling USD 6.392 billions worth of armaments to Taiwan. The shame ought to be shared equally by the prize winner and the Nobel Committee.
Some people wondered what happens now that the Chinese traitor has won the Nobel Prize. I can’t see anything happening to China. Even though China was overmatched in the Korean and Vietnam wars, Big Brother did not achieve total victory. So we can forget about that today. But we must also make sure that we don’t degrade ourselves. When someone wants to lecture us with “The Nobel Prize reflects universal values, and therefore China must do this or that …” we must maintain our composure and answer sternly. We will not break down in tears, pour our hearts out and discuss how we will pursue these so-called universal values. When the other Nobel Prize winner American president Barack Obama calls for us to release so-and-so, you must have the courage to correct him: “No. China has an independent judiciary which will not be ordered about by you.” When someone slaps you in the face, insults your motherland and rips up the dignity of your people, you cannot talk nice, be a good student and try to create a good impression. You need to have some backbone. You need to be confident about Chinese culture and the political system first, before you hold a dialogue with outsiders.
-Sima Nan-


I do have an opinion about Liu Xiaobo and the Chinese (Chinese nationals) nationalism but it'll be too long and complicated and I'll end up being confused myself. :-P And I'm on the same boat as many others who opines that western-style democracy is not necessarily the best option for all (despite Malaysia adopting parliamentary democracy, in which sometimes too are flawed). What every country needs is a good and capable leader. Even if a country adopts democracy but its leaders are the biggest suckers of all, the country will still be on the losing end. 

My take on China is that it has gone through so many good and bad emperors and rulers and it still survives. It survived 5000 years without democracy. 

Got problem?

Why I think is Namewee just an internet phenomenon (and not superstar)

2 Yawns
Alright, I don't know if he did aim to be a superstar but who cares, huh. This guy undeniably got talents but a misused talent I must say. He has the right voice but LOUSIEST lyrics (except for Negarakuku which is rather phenomenal).

Today I watched his latest video: 




The nice opening melody is totally spoilt by the frequent *toot toot self censorship and meaningless lyrics. I expected something better. :-(

From the look of his Facebook page, it seems that a lot of younger ethnic Chinese are unhappy with the things going on around Malaysia (who the hell is happy anyway). Hey, but there's a lot of other ways of expressing that gloom. Say, doing a parody? Or injecting loads of sarcasm? As an educated generation, the last thing we do is to express ourselves with vulgarities and profanities. Maybe an occasional 'f' and 's' word is fine but MODERATION please!

I think schools should start teaching pupils what is courtesy and fairness. You be fair to other people before expecting them to be fair to you. Agree?

Anyway, kudos to Namewee's many balls - but I did expect something better than this!!

p/s: This is a genuine demand/request for quality music.

Excuse me, what is wrong with vernacular schools?

2 Yawns
I really do not know what is the hoo-hah about these vernacular schools except that it is just any other regular national schools, except maybe the medium of instruction is not in Malay. 

Recently there are spat amongst the Malays (I'm not sure left or right wing since I can't differentiate it) and those so-called very Malaysians inside out to the core called for the abolishment of vernacular schools. Outrageous I tell you! For the record, I did not graduate from vernacular school but I'm still going to speak for it nevertheless. I'm all for learning mother tongue.

Point one - Regular National type schools does not offer mother tongue subjects

Ya ya..we all know the pride of Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa (language the heart of a race) and the super importance of English being the international language. Everybody is rushing to brush up their fluency in English (some refused to improve their English because they think being monolingual in Malay language is sufficient to survive in Malaysia) that mother tongue seems completely obsolete.  So they start attacking those who are determined to learn and speak mother tongues by saying that these people refuses to assimilate. Anti-social they call them. :-(

  • Mother tongue = adopting the Singaporean definition, it means the language of one's ethnic group regardless of actual proficiency.
Mother tongues are symbol of cultural identity. Speaking any other language besides Malay or English does not make someone less Malaysian. Malaysia is made up of many many races and religions. So being strictly monolingual or bilingual doesn't look very Malaysian, don't you think? Ok, at the very least, it doesn't hurt to acquire a third, fourth or fifth language. Vernacular school is the solution.

Point two - Malay language is a compulsory subject in vernacular schools

Clearly, if vernacular school students are 'retarded' in communicating in Malay, the solution is to call for more quality language education in these schools. Get more proficient Malay language teachers perhaps?

Hate their squarish accent? Not everyone is perfect lah. We don't poke fun at those who can't speak fluent Mandarin aside from giggling from an out of tune pronunciation. Look, I've mis-pronounced hell load of times. Lantak lah!

p/s: Speaking about fluency, does anyone actually speak Bahasa Malaysia BAKU?

Point three - the Laws does not prohibit it

Please refer to Article 152 of the Federal Constitution and Section 17 of the Education Act 1996. 

Article 152: (1) The national language shall be the Malay language and shall be in such script as Parliament may by law provide:
Provided that -
(a) no person shall be prohibited or prevented from using (otherwise than for official purposes), or from teaching or learning, any other language; and
(b) nothing in this Clause shall prejudice the right of the Federal Government or of any State Government to preserve and sustain the use and study of the language of any other community in the Federation.

Section 17 Education Act:   National language as the main medium of instruction.
(1) The national language shall be the main medium of instruction in all educational institutions in the National Education System expect a national-type school established under section 28 or any other educational institution exempted by the Minister from this subsection.
(2) Where the main medium of instruction in an educational institution is other than the national language, the national language shall be taught as a compulsory subject in the educational institution.




Am glad that Malaysian laws are supportive of allowing everyone to learn other languages. As a matter of fact, Malaysians are envied because we can are multilingual. Never mind if we can't master a language 100%. Who cares, as long as the message can go across. 







Point four - Hindrance to unity?!


Look, enrollment to vernacular schools are not limited to that particular type of race only. There are so many Malays and Kadazans who are fluent in Mandarin that I have to beat myself to shame for being illiterate in the Chinese characters.

With due respect, openly name-calling Chinese as 'mata sepet' (squinty eyes) and Indians 'si botol' (drunkard) is more hindrance to unity especially if it's coming from a  person representing the National Civics Bureau. Though I do not have squinty eyes but I can't understand what is so hard about referring to a group of people properly. 

Further, the curriculum in vernacular schools are approved by the Ministry of Education. They learn the same Malaysian history and geography as other national typed schools. So what unity are we talking about here?

Actually, the truth is that malicious prejudice against others is much much more a hindrance to national unity. Eg: stereotyping ethnic Chinese as 'ultra-kiasu' or 'pelacur' (prostitute), stereotyping Malays as lazy pigs, stereotyping Indians as cheaters, snakes. There may be favourable percentage to the truth of those stereotypes but I'm sure there are much more positive ways to address the problems rather than to express ourselves in the negative manner.

I believe in the sayings of 'birds of the same feathers flock together'. I too get ostracized whenever I don't belong to the same wavelength with others but hey, that's the reality of life.

You and I have been of school age so we know that kids are skin colour blind. It is the parents and teachers who should re-educate themselves or refrain from sowing seeds of discord and disharmony on their kids. But with cases like Siti Inshah's, I think well....I rest my case. 

.....

Until and unless the government provide mother tongues as subjects in national typed schools, I think it's only fair to keep those vernacular schools.

Personality Test : The Verdict

3 Yawns
The first word I'm going to say here is SIGH. Sorry, it's 'The" afterall. Sorry again if you didn't get the joke. It was never meant to be funny before I'm typing this in a very depressing mode. Depressing!!

If I'm not a goody two shoes, then I would have used a lot of swear words. Then all of you will eventually quit reading my blog wondering what happened to this girl. 

I think I'm facing quarter-life crisis. Being stuck with things and choices which will eventually determine me on where I am for the rest of my life. No, it's not wedding bells. It's career.

How many of you think that you've made the worst decision in your life by doing the job you're doing and studying the course you are studying?? I've asked around before and the most common answer I got was "You must pray about it". That's not a very helpful response -_-///

Today, I re-took a career test and discovered the following to be my ideal profession:-  (I'm an INFJ)

career counselor
- Yes, if I'm one, I will advise everyone to choose the career which they're passionate about. Not what their parents tell them to do!!! Not another doctor, engineer, accountant and lawyer only profession. Geez.

psychologist
- I don't mind doing this but I may ask/advise outside scope out of curiousity..hehehe like certain juicy details.

educational consultant
- I don't know what they do. But assume to be same as career counselor.

special education teacher
- Ok, I'm still fine with this for as long as I don't have to change diapers. But I don't think I'm patient enough to even teach normal kids.

librarian
- Is it about read read and read? Or sourcing and arranging for books? Ok only if it's a large library. Small time don't want.

artist
- I'm a born artist inside out. Regrettably didn't have the physical appearance for it.
 
playwright
- Hey not bad.....what play you want? Cheesy dialogues?

novelist/poet
- I honestly have always wanted to write a novel but until now can't find a suitable theme. Shall I compile a FICTIONAL  office bitching stories??? Ok, whatever my idea is it's supposed to be confidential. Shhhh....

editor/art director
- Count me in. 

information-graphics...designer
- If only I've taken formal course for this. 

HRM manager
- I love the feeling of having everyone under my mercy for firing and hiring. 

merchandise planner
- Ok no problem. When do you want to launch your products?

environmental lawyer
- Finally a hint of 'lawyer'. Well.........although I'm passionate about keeping the environment clean and unpolluted, I know nuts about fighting for that right except through protests and petitions.

marketer
job analyst
mental health counselor
dietitian/nutritionist
research
educational consultant
architects
interpreter/translator
- vaguely boring jobs. Sorry.

The Intriguing People

2 Yawns










My 2 weeks encounter with different types of people. Real and this is what I think of them




The Heartbroken


They're sad, they're heartbroken. But God knows why. The whole world turned against him and there's no more light at the end of the tunnel (very morbid, huh). All of sudden, he has turn philosophical pouring all the wise sayings. Deep inside, he's very, very hurt. Unless you have an anti-dote to his misery, it's best not to say anything to aggravate his hurt. Shhhhh...


The Religious Leader


He's the leader, the shepherd of his flock. He brings people closer to the Divine One. He teaches the Words of the Almighty One. But if he teaches falsely, then I don't know what will happen. 


The Activist


He holds rights highly. If your rights are trampled on, he will come to your rescue fighting it to the very core. Every human has a right to breathe, food, shelter, air, marriage, religion, speech etc etc. Ah...speaking about freedom of speech, please don't hold him back even though he starts cursing and hurling all sorts of abuses. Because that's his right after all. A right to curse.


The Fence Sitter


He is neither supporting or against anyone. Atas pagar, we call him. He likes to look at both sides of the coin, both sides of the argument, both sides of the extreme. A neutral guy, I would say. In real life, we will only sit on the fence if we are clueless on what's going on. But towards the end of the day we would still need to make a stand. It's total bullshit he says that he's neither this side nor that side - unless the matter does not concern him at all.


The Aggravator


This guy likes to create trouble. He love seeing people fight among each other, and he is in glee when someone quarrels. He will put more charcoal (or whatever fire starter) to a burning fire. The brighter, bigger the better. Afterall, life needs more excitement. :-D


The Counsellor


He is someone you look to when something is not right. He may not be a magician, but his words are like magic. He will use words alone to conquer all. Words and words alone. (*suddenly white dove flying in)


The Over Intelligent


He is smart. But he is over smart. He says thing which slaps your face without realizing that he's actually slapping himself. The more smart thing he says, the more ugliness you see in him. To categorize him otherwise would not do him justice, afterall he's smart to say smart things. But just maybe at the wrong time. Sigh! What a wasted talent.


The Mastermind


You'll never find out who he is. He operates silently. He has loads of willing assistants. He is smart. Of all, his mind is the most intriguing. Even if you can get hold of his brain and dissect it (literally), you'll never find the answer. For you will only find gooey brain cells and blood vein.  If only you can ask him; why?


The Joker


Well, if you have ample free time then he'll be good to hang around with. He can talk A-Z and perform funny stunts - stop short of being an entertainer. Some can take him seriously, some can't. 


The Debater


Like The Counsellor, he's gifted with words. If he speaks, his voice will be the loudest. If he writes, he will write with a sword (too dramatic!). You will never ever, never ever win the war of words against him unless you are a debater yourself. If you happened to accidentally trip on his 'tail', NAH! he will give you 10 salient reasons on why you are wrong and another 5 ways on how you should apologize. Enough said, he said.


The Peacemaker


He loves peace. He will hate The Aggravator unless he's real bored. He will dislike The Over Intelligent for stirring up the unnecessary. For decades (or centuries) he will not be tired calling for peace. "CAN'T YOU ALL STOP FIGHTING FOR A SECOND??!!".  So, can you all stop bickering there? The Peacemaker needs a rest. 


The Observer


I will call them the hunter as well. Like cats preying, he will observe quietly underneath (the blanket). He will not let the sound of his breathe give him away (wonder if he will suffocate and die). His eyes will look for any suspicious creatures lurking around. He will smell if danger is coming ahead. His ears will listen to all movement changes. He will wait patiently. Hmhm...


.
.

He sensed some movement! Immediately he text everyone in his mobile, tweet and updated his Facebook status of the impending danger.

Phone policy

1 Yawns
Office Phone
There was once I spoke to a partner of a firm and he asked, "Karen are you sick? You sound very weak". 


People at the other side would always bellow, "Hello! I can't hear you!"


For this, I think it must be the office phone's fault. If only I can make it louder. 


I feel like a total idiot speaking to an answering machine. Let alone when other people is looking, and waiting for a reply from me. "Sorry, it was the answering machine".


Handphone
I will spend half of my conversation saying for the 50th time "Hello?Hello? Can you hear me because I can't hear you".


I will spend another half saying, "Sorry can you repeat that? The line is breaking".


It must be "B"okia's fault.


House Phone
An antique at my house. Rarely use. As rare as a piece of rare steak.
All calls will be directed to my mom.


Skype
No interruptions for the first 5 minutes. Subsequently the same as handphone, sometimes worse.


Gtalk
The best so far. But if only I can change the ringtone.
This mode of communication depends on internet connection. Oh well, we all know about Streamyx. 50% of my online time is 'well-spent' reconnecting.


Voice communication is not easy, is it?

Hot Lookalikes

0 Yawns

When I watched Inglourious Basterds last month, I thought the guy who acted as Private Frederick Zoller was the same guy from American Pie 2. Just as I thought August Diehl was Macaulay Culkin!

This is Daniel Bruhl of Inglourious Basterds. Quite handsome.

Because he's good looking, his character in the movie, Private Zoller, is forgiven for irritatingly pursuing Shosanna Dreyfus. His insistence came too strong towards the end when he became frustrated that Shosanna wasn't returning the same feelings. He even shot Shosanna and both died in the theater room. Why did you shoot her??!!

But never mind. Because he's handsome, I will forgive. And I like the way he speaks his French (was French, right?)




And here we have a TVB Hong Kong version of Bruhl - Leo Lee Wai Kay. It's extremely difficult to get pictures of Leo in websites simply because he hasn't been in any lead roles, or the least any supporting roles in drama series. I got this nerdy photo of him from the promotional advertisement of At the Threshold of an Era where he acted as Jason Yip.

When I watched Legal Entanglement which is airing at TVB XingHe now, I thought, "Hey he looks somewhat like Daniel Bruhl". Don't you think so?




And of course, how can I forget Seann William Scott, the goofy guy at American Pie 2 and Evolution. He looked surprisingly gorgeous in recent photos, with stunning smiles. How can you not like him. How can you simply not????

When I read the newspaper everyday

2 Yawns
At one point, I quit reading newspaper (except the cinema showtime part and probably the entertainment section) to  prevent the increase of stress level. I know, I just happen to know every single day and without a miss, there will be some silly news provoking some weak nerves. Those are news on what the politicians have to say on a certain subject matter. They appeared as though they are very smart. And they sound like they have a lot of time talking and doing nonsense.

Number 1 : The PKFZ saga. It's never ending. The moment I saw "PKFZ", I just skip to a more interesting headline.

Number 2 : What the PM said and how the DPM and following Ministers subsequently contradicts each other. Can't they decide what statements to issue before publishing it?

Number 3: The May 13. Is it going to happen again? I don't know. As far as I am concern, I am living harmoniously with other people. If we have 1Malaysia, then why is Utusan Malaysia always think that certain race is under attack? Hello, everybody is busy trying to earn a living....I suggest Utusan to publish more meaningful news if they want to earn more sales.

Number 4 : Politicians never ending, never tired attacking each other verbally, physically and emotionally and maybe financially (maybe sexually too!). Oh please! Bring your spat out from the newspapers and newsportal.  Such an embarassment to the country. Shouldn't their time be spent on thinking ways to improve our economy and our paycheck to correspond with the escalating cost of living?????!!!
All talk only, no action. Smart.

'Very wise' of the politicians to tear, and now step on some so-called glamorous posters. Sigh.

Power cut more frequent in Sabah

3 Yawns
Actually Namewee's infamous TNB video was posted some time ago. Only now the government has discovered it. Slow, right?



Read also TheStar here

Oh well, I must add one more thing. I believe West Malaysia's power supply is a lot better than Sabah's counterpart. But really, power cut is damn irritating when you are in the midst of something urgent.

This was what happened on a fine Monday afternoon when I was to finish a submission with my boss due the next day. To everyone's dismay, there was a power cut at Jalan Pantai, Kota Kinabalu for 2 1/2 hours! We finally finished our work in the office at only around 2 am. If there wasn't a power cut, all of us (including the support staffs) could have gone back by 11 pm.

Would you still be complaining politely then?

Perhaps SESB and it's independent power suppliers should also apologize to us Sabahans? In the month of October and November, I've endured 5 power cuts; 3 at the office and 2 at home.


Make sure this Gas-powered plant is not second hand!

What am I born to do?

1 Yawns
I can't believe to be still thinking about this question until now when I'm supposed to be already mapping my career and having at least a 5 years plan.

I definitely know that I'm not such a law legal person. I don't like to think like a lawyer. I'm a regular jane and lawyers are humans too. I'm just stuck at it because I'm reminding myself that it is doable.

My heart has always been for arts eversince Form 4 when I started to hate science and maths.

That day, when I was asked to comment on a logo, I happily offered my help to make changes to parts of it. Someone told me that I shouldn't waste too much time on it as there are no extra points for having a nice logo. I told myself that I'd rather be designing the logo than doing anything else. Why am I in the legal profession?

Why I did not blog for so long?

1 Yawns
The answer to some would be obvious. I was really caught up with work, and even I had some scarce free time, it would be wisely spent on playing games to unwind and relax.

Since February, I signed up for Sign Language class in YMCA, KL. As a result, a weekend is not a proper weekend as I did not get enough time to rest. But I'm glad that I took up some classes to keep myself occupied.



With our beloved BIM instructor, Ke Xin ( the one happily showing off her gift)

I'm also aware that I'm not done with my Cambodia trip chronicles, BUT those who are in my facebook can still view those pictures.

Also, I've started with my Dock Brief as part of the Legal Aid programme compulsory for all chambering students. The first time when I had to stand up and speak to the magistrate in open court, I was so nervous that I can feel that my hand was about to shake. HOWEVER... I can't show it as all the accused were sitting in the dock right behind me. I had to pressed my hand hard on the table to stop myself fumbling and showing signs of nervousness.

So far, I helped 4 drug addicts mitigated for lighter sentence. After mitigating for the 3rd accused, I was steadier. Thank God the magistrate did not fire at me or did anything drastic to me. He was nice enough to grant me 10 minutes (as if it's enough) to interview all the accused, and I had 4 to handle ( luckily, I had a partner to assist me but eventhough she has no locus standi to address the court).

It was an eye opener having accused telling all sorts of stories about their life. As far as I know, they do have difficult life and peer pressure to sustain. Some, I think is fit to adopt prison as their second home. Sometimes I wonder if they understand what is the meaning of life at all.

I hope this will be the last time the DVD seller cum drug addict be sent to prison. He's is my age.

Wish list..

3 Yawns
Being a technology friendly person, I always took interest in what they have to offer. Below are the list of my wishlist so that anyone who intends to buy present for me can start saving up:

  • SLR camera
  • Dell inspiron mini laptop
  • Sony Ericsson C905
  • HTC PDA
  • And a humble Perodua VIVA
Can I add a new pair Hush Puppies court shoes so that I can run up and down the courts comfortably and energetically.

What I want to do

The first thing I'm going to do after exam.....is to grow my hair...yes! It'll be a year long project. Somehow i miss my long wavy locks. And I'm not going to do rebonding to make it 'nice'.


I look so yesterday

Quare: Guess when this picture is taken?

And comparing this picture with my current haggard look...I'm so glad i've taken some pics which i look at least youthful and happy. At least to remind myself that being stuck with CLP is not the end of the world.

When to speak and when to be silent

0 Yawns
Yesterday I came accross this passage in the bible which I'd like to share with you all.

Book of Sirach 8:5-17

One who revels in pleasure will be condemned,
hating gossip save one from evil.

Never repeat what you are told and you will come to no harm.

Report nothing to friend or foe and, unless silence is sinful,
reveal it to no one.
They will listen, distrust you and you will end up being hated.

Have you heard something? Let it die with you,
remain calm; you will not burst with it.

A fool suffers like a woman in childbirth over something he is told.

Like an arrow stuck in his thigh, such is a secret inside a fool.

Speak with your friend: perhaps he has done nothing and,
if he has, he will not do it again.

Speak with your friend: perhaps he has not said anything and,
if he has, he will not say it again.

Speak with your friend for there is much slander;
do not believe all that you hear.

Often, unintentional slips are made;
for who has never sinned by evil tongues?

Speak with your neighbour before you heap accusations
on him; then leave room for the Law of the Almighty.


Have you shown compassion?

1 Yawns
In Malaysia, we always said that we're so blessed because our country is situated out of the disaster zone, be it volcanoes, typhoon, eathquake etc., although sometimes we get to feel tremors, haze from volcanic regions and the 'tail' of the typhoon. And that is enough to scare us - and cause havoc. What more a real disaster.

As we know, the Asian region was struck with cyclone in Myanmar and earthquake in Sichuan, China recently. Apart from lending a hand with what you have to help, many of us failed to even realise how lucky we are to be alive and grateful that disasters spared us.

I stumbled upon this video in Youtube..




If we can be compasionate with disaster victims, surely we can be compasionate with those next to us.

Note: The Book of Sirach 8:7 said, "Do not rejoice at the death of any man, remember that we shall all die".

Doing your share

0 Yawns
Sharing is not easy Certainly not. It's very easy when you are not selfish and considerate, or when you are in your most generous mood.


How about sharing household chores? Ahh.....a dread isn't it? How nice if all of us have a personal maid to do all cleaning up jobs for us. Then no need for us to sweep the floor, wipe off food crumbs, scrub toilets, take out the trash etc etc...


But most who are staying with parents or a family shouldn't be a problem. At least in a family, there would be mutual consensus as who will do what. Or at least most likely for these consensus. I'm referring to a household without a domestic helper.


But what about a shared house between adults? It needs to be cleaned too...And it's unfair to be done by 1 person only, ALL THE TIME. I once stayed in a place where each of us has our own broom in the room. Ridiculous, but at least the room gets cleaned.

Time wasters

0 Yawns
During revision, most students in class would not want the lecturers to waste time. There are so many exam questions to discuss and many issues needs to be resolved. Example when a lecturer are wasting time:-

  • Telling too many unlaughable jokes
  • Never answering questions properly
  • Passing off other's work
  • Bitching
  • Only provide a 'can pass lah' kind of answers (low grade)

Sometimes students are not that stupid, we know which lecturer put in the effort and which doesn't.

Last round of hope

3 Yawns
Due to the upcoming severe exam stress, I will not be able to blog properly until July, unless I have anything extraordinary to voice out here.


I'm almost in the verge of tears and nauseating for memorising thousands of cases and authorities. Perhaps it's time to boil soup using my notes and hopefully by consuming this 'tasty' soup, I can automatically memorise those cases. Chicken soup, anyone?
