Portrait: Angelina Jolie

9/11/2012

Hmmm... I think it was a good try for me as I wasn't a good artist since I'm young. I didn't be part and parcel of art like my classmates. No drawing class, no drawing contest, low marks in drawing. The irony part is, I'd hope to be an interior designer when I was still a primary school pupil. HAHA! However, I was awaken before I graduate =)

This Jolie is really weird. It wasn't because of my drawing skill, though that was certainly part of it XD I'd wrongly plot the ratio of the nose part HAHA

PS: Anne Hatheway will be the next~ ( Please! Please forgive me if I produce another weird one haha!)

Festival: Deepavali

Logged in Facebook. My home page was immersed with status commenting about the booms and pows happened last night. Well, it's Deepavali Eve. Undeniable that the fireworks and firecrackers was played incessantly, outrode the Chinese New Year Eve. 

I suddenly thought that, Deepavali actually have the same purpose with CNY, from certain perspective.

See, Deepavali is a festival which the Hindus commemorates the death of Narakasuran, a brutal demon who wreaked havoc while CNY is initial a fight against the mythical beast called 'Nian'. This beast would appear when the new year is around the corner to eat human as well as crops and it was afraid of red colour. Therefore, RED colour is the main colour of CNY as we Chinese continue the culture. In a nutshell, both of the festivals is mainly to commemorate the vanish of demon. The difference between them is Deepavali is a religious festival yet CNY is a racial celebration.

I'm glad that my housing area is not Chinese-concentrated one. Different races of residents in my Taman let me gain lots of different festival experience.

Like the past years, today my mom, my bro and I went to my Indian neighbour's house as they invited us =D We often write "house visiting among different races and religion" as one of the method in  fostering better interpersoanl relationship with other ethnic. This is really a good way to cultivate better neighbourhood, like what i just experienced.

Eating different food which are not easy seen in the Indian restaurant, I enjoyed the unique experience. Know what, today I learnt about 2 indian dishes, one named Aviyal ( a vege curry, usually eaten with putu mayam) and another one is Rawa Tosai. Without a doubt, we also ate mutton curry and chicken curry and MURUKU~ I was so flummox when I heard that the old aunty ( my neighbour's mother) said she make all the indian crisps by using her own flour, she mill herself!! The muruku was crunchy and spiced~

Rawa Tosai

Aviyal~

Muruku

My neighbour's family is a typical Malaysian family~ The old aunt told me, her youngest son married a Malay lady, an interracial love. Besides, her grandson is going to take a Chinese wife. Their family can represent Malaysia- consisting the three main race in our country.

For me, I can never imagine what will happened if I really involved in a interracial relationship /.\
I wouldn't think that will be a good life for me HAHA         

Happy Deepavali to all Hindus =)        

Cookies and muruku from my neighbours =)

一句话

“要学习接受别人的赞赏，不要贬低自己。”
有人告诉我这句话。
紧蹙的眉头松了一松，一口深深吸了一口气，试图调整我阻塞的思维。

冷静的思索了一下， 我好像不是我以为的那个自己。我以为，以为我是一个乐观的人。可是一路走来，负面的思想和自我低估总是让我觉得我处处不如人。

“你一直觉得你身边的人都很厉害，太过这样，就不是谦虚了。”
其实我是觉得每个人都总会有一方面比我好这是一定的。就当作我只看到别人的强项吧，我是真的崇拜很多在我身边的人。是，我这种夸张化的性格总会把自己和别人的程度差别无限放大没错，可是在我眼中，他们绝对有这样的资格。

很多时候，一句句称赞听在我耳里都是讽刺因为我真心觉得我只是算普通。内心的防御总会告诉自己我并没有那么优秀，那或许只是别人随口的吹捧。

不过，自我打压是我激励自己的一种方法。压力并不会真的打败我，毕竟它是我“创造”的。怕输心态（不良思想，请勿学习XD）就像我人生的推动力；别人的目光好似我人生的支撑点。

我会开始感激称赞我的人但我不可能不贬低自己。—— 410~

Sky

Did you notice I'd change my blog's background to the blue sunny sky?

Did you ever ask why the sky is in bright blue?

Sky is blue in colour because of dispersion of the sunlight in the atmosphere layer. When the sunlight go through the atmosphere, dispersion happens because the colours in the sunlight have different refractive index. Red colour has the highest refractive index, followed by orange yellow green blue violet and lastly is the purple colour. The colour with higher refractive index moves in a higher speed. The blue colour is trapped in the atmosphere and is then  pushed and shoved between the water molecule and dust. After refraction and reflection, the fresh blue colour is then pass through our eyes~~ =D

Do you LOVE the blue sky?

I do. Everytime when I'm sink into fret or depression, I'll raise my head, gaze the blue blue sky. The peaceful colour combination of blue and white is like a tranquilizer, calm my mind down (actually is blank my mind XD)~ I can think nothing when I stare at the borderless heaven. Everything is like 'WHOOSHHHH~' - flushed away and my world become so simple, so easy. A smile will creeps onto my face silently =)

I keep my hands crossed so that I can go to New Zealand or Tibet, enjoy the endless blue sky~~~

Try to fixate your sight on the clouds and atmosphere next time. It really helps in let your hair down =D

Dato Seri Tew Kim Thin

Maybe you will think that being a Dato or something is quite common in Malaysia, but many of them are deserve no less to be respected. Dato Seri Tew is my school's 'Bapa Angkat'(godfather). He is the owner of the Zenith Group, a millionaire (maybe a billionaire). Yet, he was also a Banting guy, speaks hokkien, cute character, humble and generous man. He drop out during standard 5 and worked as a waiter in a old style 'kopitiam'. He was also then a foreman in a workshop, a contrator and finally became a successful entrepreneur. According to him, he learnt everything from zero, without any foundation in those field and discovered everything by self excavation.

In the 3-days-2-nights PRS camp, I didn't actually learn something from those movies.. It's just a game of discovering the moral values in the movie. =P As a matter of fact, the best part of the camp that impress me is the Q&A session with Dato Tew. We had gained a lot in the sharing session. Let me share my acquisition with you.

1. FOCUS. The main principle of Dato is focus. He keep emphasizing the importance of focus in your own path.

2. Be courageous. Dare to ask, dare to fail.

3. Always learn things from the others by observing. Ask if you don't know or don't understand. Jot down the thing you have acquire.

4.Quality is more significant than quantity.

5. Don't think what you can get, think what you should do to increase the posibility to achieve. " You ingin mau, itu akan hilang; You tak ingin mau, itu akan datang" =D
6. Image is vital.  It shows your everything to a stranger. Always bear in mind that etiquette is the main part of image.  Don't ever underestimate the significance of etiquette because image also make known of your reverence towards others.

7. Humble is the key to convince others. Play dumb at the suitable time and do not be arrogant on what you know. No one will be willing to give advise or enlightenment to conceited person.

8. See through everything clearly so that you wouldn't get stuck in the wrong thing. Understand a situation will lead to confidence.

I hope these will inspire you~~~~~~~~~~

Accident

Do u ever watch a car crash in 5m close? Aha~ I just witnessed, so near.

Mum got back into the car with the Domino's. Raining season, the accident season. Our car was blocked by a white Proton on our right, double parking one. After a long minute of betweentimes horns, finally it started to move. What I can say about the driver is: without sense of driving, reckless ( no signal before moving towards the main road ).

Without a signal, a Kancil coming behind seems don't know that the Proton is driving out the main road. No doubt, the Kancil halted abruptly. "BANGGGGG". While the Kancil stopped, a unlucky black car knocked it due to emergency brake failure. The proton stopped about 3seconds and left without a scratch, leaving the collided cars behind...

Irresponsible is the main factor of the unexpected happening. Irresponsible to oneself, irresponsible to other road users, irresponsible to the lifes- the defection of human. All of this mostly end up with an accident, a news report and a obituary.

Life

What a big surprise.. nope, i should have say 'shock'.

Get up in the morning, checking my facebook and the messages.

"Crying.. My friend passed away"

Yea.. My friend's friend passed away in an accident. I was stunned for a long minute. I don't really know his friend, but I'm at a loss, thinking what should I do now.

I don't know what boy thinks, but as a friend, I do have the responsiblity to comfort him. A message would be good enough I thought, with a =)

Sometimes I do think, life is extremely brittle. Last month, one of the 'famous' nuisance of my primary school had passed away; Day before yesterday, one of my friend's friend passed away and yesterday, another one.

They are teens. And just left this fantastic world like this.

Everyday, many of humans are ending their life, forced or voluntarily. I know it's inevitable. You know too.

But when the rate of surviving is higher than the rate of leaving, no one remember the fragile of one's life until someone around them unluckily passed away.

Book Commentary: 《战地情书》

I thought today is the last day for my 2012 school life. But it isn't. A meeting of PRS(pembimbing rakan sebaya) is held on Monday. ~I'm wondering who will b our future leader~I do hope i can catch a position in the Kelab Kerjaya~ =D

Currently, Form 4's textbook is no longer left, replaced by pile of Form 5 ones. The books remind all of us about the SPM, of course isn't a nice reminder. 'Work hard, play hard', this quote always in my mind (although I'm not really realizing it XD). I trust that, the pressure of SPM can change my mind, despite the stress of distortion of mentality =P

Finishing a book leads an immense of sense of accomplishment~ Recently I had finished the  New Moon and a chinese book,wrote by 禤素莱 (Xuan Su Lai), named 《战地情书》( The Love Letter of the Battlefield). She's a Malaysian, is an army translator. This job seems far from us right? In her first book,《随军翻译》(Army Translator), she transmitted more information about the culture conflict among the western+eastern thinking and the Arabian's. Patriarchal system of the Arab countries had caused a series of mishap on the the author, real story. However, The Love Letter one is more about the inner emotion and circumstance of the troops. Leaving their families, protecting their country, causing wound and death, separating with buddies after missions and other feeling in the deepest of the core of their brittle heart. All of this shows the weakness of human in stopping the game of the old which is inevitable since ancient- WAR! Anyway, i prefer the first 1 because I'm not really a sensible girl, my rationality overdo my sensibility~ The Army Translator give me many information and it widen my horizon and let me read the contra happens in the other corner of the universe =)
