Perhaps a bout of writing will help cure my melancholy.
Read in the papers about the Kelantan MB wanting to hold a "husband lullaby singing " competition. A competition to pick out the best husband lullabys that will be able to put them males to sleep.
The reason for this?
Because when the men come back their darling subservient wives will sing them sweet lullabies to put them to sleep so that in the morning they will feel refreshed and at peace. Riddikulus if i say so myself.
Well,leave the Kelantan MB and PAS to think up things like that. Things that eat up the more of the public's taxes. Lucky for you people that the 2006 budget didnt really increase consumer prices or not you'll have a revolt in the making.
And Bali was bombed again. What is wrong with human beings these days? Is the killing and needless slaughter of innocents the only thing on their minds? Ever thought of the sanctity of life you terrorists out there? Cowards who use religion as a shield to justify their acts.
..You know at this rate, id probably insult everything im gonna read in the papers or heard.. Maybe this isnt the appropriate place to vent afterall..
A'reverdeci.

The first thing that i heard this morning was this :
" Bangun! Bangun! Pergi Sembahyang semua orang!!"
followed by a noise resounding repeatedly in the room.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! "
Feeling slightly disorientated, i opened my sleepy eyelids and grumbled in my usual cranky morning way..
" Mum,what sembahyang?!!Not Malay la!!Crazy ar! My class only starts at 9 la!"
Reality hit when i fully opened my eyes and noticed that i was sharing my bed with Peng.
She was already awake and stared at me with laughter in her eyes as i groaned in realisation that i was not at HOME but back at camp.
Remember those blardy noisy bangs i mentioned was ringing through my groggy head?
Well it seemed my dear Cikgu Fieza who was in charge of waking up the trainees at 5 AM in the freaking morning had taken to banging the steel lockers in the dorm in the 3 weeks ive been back home.. The result? A throbbing pain in the head at 5 am.
I went back to Kem Setia Ikhlas and stayed overnight.
What did i feel? How did i endure it?
Everything can be summarised in words.
Nostalgic.Happy.Weird.
I just got back a few hours ago and i still have tons of work to do in prep for Criminal tmrw. So ill just leave you with a few pictures to satisfy ur lust for info about my life ;) hehehe LOL
Me and the Ketua Jurulatih who gave me a nickname which im all too famous for in my camp for Kump 3,Siri 2. We call him MISAI.No guessin where he got the name from. :)
My NS gang with Kj ( ketua jurulatih ) hehe. LR: Peng,CHing,KJ,me,Seow Yen. All mua Alpha Company gurls! *hugs peeps! although u most likely wont be visiting here ;) *
This time its the Chinese guys from my company ( Alpha ). These bunch of wackos are as crazy and ham sap as most of the guys i know. With the exception that they joke about in Mandarin and Cantonese. Funny and Fun bunch of ppl who kept me occupied during Kenegaraan classes. XD
Keong and Kenny. One's from Sungai Buloh and the other's from.....uh..i forgot. :P
This guy is a mic.Chinese Indian parentage.Stays in Serendah. Which explains the fact that he can speak good Mandarin and chinese dialects as well as Tamil but not English. BUt he's an extremely nice guy! In the terms of atheletics and physical sports he's the best there is in our camp! *looks delicious when he smiles too XD kekekek * ..sorry reverting to bimbo mode again. Gomen ne.
This woman plays the role of livewire in her company (Delta) akin to my role in my company. Hehe. She's famous for her bawdy jokes as well as her vivacious personality. heheh.
And this is the kawad/marching formation for the majlis penutup ( closing ceremony) today. It was very very nice! The best ive seen my NS mates perform! LOL. I heard that they had to endure 4 hours of marching under the sun everyday for the perfect synchronization.
Halfway through the march formation. Look at all their serious faces. Stern and grim.
Due to the hot sun, at least 3 of them fainted while marching,one of them being a guy. So u can imagine the colour of our skin when we come back to visit you guys. So ppl..quit calling me Malay. XD heheh if u think im a malay wait till u see them. They would b Indian. XD
* Disclaimer : Not intended to be a racist remark whatsoever.Only as a comparison to the tanness of skin. *
One's got to be careful nowadays of what we say. You can be sued left and right. Or worse,be put into jail.Ugh.Where's freedom of speech?
Another one.
And another one.The morning was spent marching for the viewing pleasure of Lee Lam Thye who was present during the closing ceremony . I found out that he reli has quite bad spoken BM. It was very evident in his 15 minute oh so boring-till-it-managed-to-make-ppl-sleep speech.
And this cikgu, still owes me one ice cream!! Where's my ice lolly cikgu mus!!
heheh.Look at my bengis face. hehehe
A fan dance for the viewing pleasure of many. The thing i want you to see isnt so apparent here..hmmmm..
OOOHHH. YES.Its much more clearer here. KEKEK. See any bald patches?
Thats Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
Disclaimer : Once again, i do not intend to insult anyone.Im merely making out an observation and pointing it out to everyone. XD hehe
Tan Sri again while walking out of camp.
A bunch of my crazy friends throwing their berets up in the air after the departure of Lee Lam Thye and the closing ceremony.Look at them. hehe .its as if their graduating!!You cant reli see the berets cos they are suspended in the air but u can see half of the beret on the left hand corner of this picture. See it? Hehe. That guy was lucky. Most of their berets all landed in the roof and never came down after being thrown. HEHE. Them boys got a severe thrashing after that.
Ill just end with a few pictures on the camp facilities. bUg bye ppeeps.
In case you havent already guessed,this is the wobbyly bridge and long flight of stairs we had to cross to get to our wirawati's dorm which is situated on the peak of the hill. XD

I do believe i have ADD.
Attention Deficit Disorder.
A "symptom" that i think has always been with me but has only recently been discovered.
So far i've sat for a few lectures and i realise i have narda concentration levels. I can only last, at the very max, half and hour. Then i start zoning out.And so far ive managed to nod off in every single one of them. The people in the back can always see my head fishing for fishies and i believe the gwei lo lecturer has caught me many times. What a good impression i make of a "diligent" law student. Hehe.
For those not in the know, i've finally started another phase of my life- UNIVERSITY. keke.
Although i dont really know what to say when people ask me this :
" Eh..but you go for classes in a COLLEGE. How can you say that you're going to UNIVERSITY??"
DUH.I do know im in a college. But the difference is that my study lifestyle and my learning lifestyle is that of a tertiary level. So huh! XD
Updates on me :
1. Currently enrolled in Taylor's College doing it's Law Degree Programme. It's a twinning programme with the University of Reading,a 2+1 effort. As the name of the Uni indicates, my course expects me to read,read,read,read,and READ. Boring.
2. Orientation is the whole of this week and im glad to say that im enjoying every minute of it. Minus the boring lecturers by the boring gwei lo lecturer called Martha Marie.
3.First let's talk about Martha Marie. Yup, as ive repeatedly mentioned,she's white
( im not being a racist btw XD ) She's Canadian.She's a rep from the Uni of Reading who is in charge of inducting us into the programme. She's huge. She is sarcastic.
She is huge. She is funny at times but most of the time she's just one big lump of blob who has a very dry wit thanks to her tenure in UK.
She's staying here for one week, hallelujah. She's huge.
I dont like her. Perhaps its due to the fact that i gave her a bad impression from all my "fishing sessions" as well as the recent "Stop typing while im talking session". Hehe. Childish i know. But its just me. :P And did i mention she's HUGE??!!
4. There are 38 of us in a lecture.What do i think of them? Well... THEY CAN SPEAK ENGLISH!! XD And for that i am grateful. After what i endured in NS, i shall not ask for anything more than them to be able to "SPEAKING" as the Malays so nicely put it.
Ps: "Speaking" is a Malay slang for the expression" You speak ENGLISH! WOW!!"
Granted, i feel comfortable with the people here, so you can say that im adjusting well. God willing, i'll find good friends in my class. ;) It's just the fourth day after all and friendship is a fruit of slow growth... hehe.. so i shall ...as the Japs say "Gambatei" ;)
5. I take 5 subjects. Legal Skills,Contract,Tort, Criminal,General Principles of Law. All 5 are reading subs. And all the compulsory books i have to buy on those subjects are darn expensive. I spent RM550 yesterday alone and i think i still have some more to buy. Urgh. There's gonna be a hole in pocket ladies and gents,so do think twice when you ask me out again the next time around oki? ;) Even though it's my parents money, i feel guilty spending so much. hehe.
6. I am excited with the life i have now. I can say that im having fun as im smiling most of the time i'm here. Something that was missing in my time at NS. I think its because i have something to look forward to now. Lectures,tutorials,friends to go out with and hang out,etc etc. In short, im in bliss. I dont ask for much. XD
ps- Do bear with me mentioning National Service in most of my posts. I cant help doing a compare and contrast on the life i live now and the live i used to live a week ago. It comes with finally realising how blesses life is for me at home :D.

Just For Laughs from Uncle MunToh
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(WOW!)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death!
(Creepy)
(I'm still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour
(Don't try this at home, maybe at work)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes.. lucky pig! Can you
imagine?)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of
a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the
tongue.
(Hmmmmmm......)
Right-handed people live, on average,nine years longer than left-handed
people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(okay, so that would be a good thing)
A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that
out?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)

Shoving it down your throat
How do you actually put a lid over something as collossal as anger?
How do you quit being as vocal about your opinions and feelings as you used to be?
How would you manage to do all these things and still manage to be HUMAN and not inhumanly PERFECT?
Well,you and i better get used to it then...Being "inhuman" that is.
Here are 2 contrasting quotes..both on the same subject.Ironic isnt it?I wonder which of us would follow which?
Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. ~Ambrose Bierce
Anger ventilated often hurries toward forgiveness; and concealed often hardens into revenge.

I am idealistic in my own way,but not to the extent that i believe in Disney's much propagated "Happy Ever Afters". The point is, is there really such an utopia?Where you live happily ever after with the person you love and your existence is not blighted or marred with any scar or problem.Perfect peace.
My life in general has truly been a blessed one. Even as i sit here in the midst of all my troubles, i can say that.It has given me with nothing but the best. But will my life end in a "happily ever after"? After all, arent those only for fairy tales that dont exist? Therefore, happily ever after, should technically, NOT EXIST?
Because for me,just when you think that life's great and treating you with the best it can offer, things just come crashing down.Much like the unexpected Great Depression in the 1930's.In a blink of an eye and you can say bye bye to everything you ever dreamed of.
Is it God's will or Man's own undoing? I'd rather think of it as both. His will as well as our own mistakes. We are afterall flawed. It would be very selfish of us to oh so conveniently let Him take the blame wouldnt it? If so, we would also not realise the extent of our pride and mistakes. As well i should realise.
"When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity."

Money versus Freedom of speech
Would it be a great sacrifice to give up your freedom of speech? In return for, lets say..half a million? If you were given such a choice, would you take the money or your freedom of speech?
To some,it might seem that the riches of the world would be the best and most ideal choice to take. But would it? To have what you say be dictated to you. To suppress what you actually feel and put a seemingly smiling face in front of the world,which underneath it all is so superficial. Wouldn’t you merely be a puppet being pulled by its strings? Like a lapping dog following a master. Throw a tasty piece of bone in front of you and you quickly gobble it down your throat.
I think selling the right to what you have to say is akin to selling your soul. There would always be that feeling that you’ve let yourself down. Of wearing a mask just for the sake of money. After all,it can be so easy. Just rehearse your lines in front of the mirror day after day and I’m sure you’ll get used to your speech lines even though you don’t mean it. And even if does make you into a hypocrite, you don’t say anything,I don’t say anything, im sure everything will be perfectly alright.
To those who do not even blink when confronted with this decision, I salute you.
Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. --Pearl Strachan

We forget because we must,not because we will.
Anyone ever heard of a way to beat a bad temper out of a person?
I for one have never.
Your temper is something that stays with you throughout your lives.
You might reduce its intensity once in awhile but i highly doubt that you can actually erase it wholly out of your system.
So what makes her think i can wash away my hot temperedness in 2 months?
I believe everyone of us is entitled to bursts of hot temperednes once in awhile. No one can be an angel 24/7. That would naturally make us all unnatural. Something,i fortunately am not.Gah.
But each day brings its petty dust ,
Our soon-chok'd souls to fill,
And we forget because we must,
And not because we will.
-Matthew Arnold-
