Cross Country... More like Cross Village... =P

Merentas Desa... Direct translation would probably be Cross Village =P. After all those stress I have when the exam draw closer than ever, it's good to have a little run in the village area.

For the first time in my entire life... (^v^)v Like seriously, I join the race of 7 km around the village roas of Jitra. Wohoo!!!

Tell you what I experiance... I cross some big roads, small roads... Sandy roads... Muddy roads... A lot of shades.. And also somtimes it is bloody shiny!!! Bruning hot onto my body... There are some part where I struggle up the hill and enjoy pacing down the hill...

FYI, I never even tried running a cross coun try before... Because of my size... T_T My weight... T-T. But to my shock... I'm NOT the last arrive to the finish line. There are even about 50-70 contestants behind me... Wohoo!!

This is a wonderful acompishment for me... Yet... I felt extremely exhausted.

To celebrate my victory, I went to Pizza Hut... Wait... OH NO!!!! I think I gain back the weight I lost in the 7 km run!!! T_T Anyway, hope there would be a next time for me in this kind of race...

Peace out!!!

PS: FYI, 26 days to exam, and I still running some useless race...

Antique Bakery: Sooo.... Delicious!



Having some free time, i kinda stumble across this Korean movie call Antique Bakery. It is an adaptation of one Japanese manga. After I watch this... I felt soo... DELICIOUS!!!

The story is about a very very RICH man who hated cakes since he was a kid. The irony is he want to open a cake house... With the reason of having many female customer coming. Did I also mention he has a very rough love life? Besides that, he also has a dark past that was lock within his heart for a long time...

Anyway, to open a bakery he needs a pattessiere (Mind the speling...) It's just so nice he met an old classmate of his, who once confess love to him. Now the MOST intresting part is... That classmate is a GUY!!! A GAY MAN!!!

The four handsome guy (Clockwise from the top left): The rich dude, The gay guy, The cool security guard, and the boxer.


That triggers a very.. VERY funny storyline... On how this two "exes" work together to build up this Antique Bakery. Did I mention that gay is one of the best in the world? However he got kicked out by many famous bakeries because that gay has a power to make a straight guy to a GAY guy... Talk about... EWW!!! Hence he causes some mishaps with the boss and everything.

Then they hired an ex-boxer who is fond of cakes and sweet pastery. After tasting the delicious cake, he wanted to be the gay dude's apprentice. The last member of the bakery, who was the rich man's cool bodyguard, join them too... Until his coolness goes away when the gay virus has infiltrated him... O_o

4 handsome men, one bakery shop... A wonderful combination of delicious cakes and pasteries... A damn lot of gayness... Not to forget about the misadventure and life triggering story... And also a lot of hilarious scene... A wonderful movie.

5 stars!!!

Warning! For the boys who love their straightness... Please don't watch... You might become a gay after this.

Jogging with the cows... O_o

Yeah... You may call me lucky or just pure bad luck.

Yesterday, I went jogging (The main reason is to buy the bloody bus ticket)... On my way back to hostel... I saw a herd of cows crossing the road... And they are right in front of me. For like 2 metre's apart.

Of course... I kept my distance... To ensure my safety. At some point, a few older cows turn their head and stare at me... I was like... Stop on my tracks. If I continue jogging, the title for this blog may be "Chased by the cows" =P

Actually, it was an incredible experiance. I notice how the older cows treated the smaller cows. In that herd, the older cows stand in a circle, while the little cattle stays in the circle. It was a marvelous view I should say

At some point, one of the cow SHIT on the road. I was like... D**M. And the street crossing plot is even mind blowing. When the herd cross the road, the car stop for them. There was even one cow who one to KO the car. My jaw was open wide.

I don't know if these cow is under the care of some owner... Or a wild one... But this is just insane. This really is how nature assimulate with humans.

Earth Hour: One person is not enough...

Walking back to my room from the dinner yesterday,
I notice the clock strikes 8.30.
I close my eyes... A bizare sight occured...
Darkness (To a certain extent... of course)

I see the young kids...
Running around from blocks to blocks...
They were the wardens chldren.
It is a funny sight, as I notice them running around...
Reaching out for the switches...
And darken the corridor.

Darkness falls...
As I enter my room, my roomates is in the dark.
Ready to go out while I switch on the fan.
"No.. We have to switch off everything during this one hour..."
That I knew... He had misunderstood the meaning of Earth Hour.

In my opinion, Earth Hour is just a symbol...
To see how many people hated global warming...
To enjoy the sensation of darkness...
To return one hour of nature back to the Earth

But what if... After this one hour...
You go back to your normal life.
When no one's around, the lights and fan are switched on...
When the afternoon shines so brightly but the light in your room is still on...

What is the point of that?
Do you really think you really against global warming?
Do you really done your part on saving the Earth?

One hour is not enough...
I am just one person...
We must continue on...
For our land...
For our nation..
For our next generation...
For EARTH!!!

The "EYE" for Traveling... MATTA Fair

You all know I am a loyal servant to travelling... And the MATTA fair would be a paradise FOR ME!!!

That's right... MATTA Fair is now on in PWTC, Kuala Lumpur. It is the biggest event for those Malaysian who has something to do with Travelling as their hobby. ( (^o^)v ) Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera there despite the famous event is on...

I would dare to say the crowd this year wasn't as big as the previous year... (Seriously... Last few years was a TOTAL Mayhem... Where human traffic is everywhere!) Maybe because of the Econimic Downfall... The people coming, according to my experiance, has dropped about 20% this year.

Despite the fact... I would still say the MATTA fair is still a big mayhem this year. The crowd there was unbelivable and there are promoters EVERYWHERE!!! I spotted a group of my high school friends there being the promoters in a travel Agent company.


MATTA fair as split itself to 2 parts: Domestic Travel and International Travel. This year, the Malaysian has done a fantastic job on creating a programme call "ZOOM Malaysia!" There we could see many booths and native state people promoting. I would not live this part... (Maybe cause I don't like Domestic Travel ) So let's move on to the International...

The International Department was given to 2 EXTREMELY LARGE Hall... Maybe cause too many people will be there. Many famous travelling company, such as MSL, Keris, Apple Travel etc are there... Say WOW to International Travel.

My mom (BTW, she is a travel maniac) booked a ticket to "Chang Ziang Shan Xia" (Long river Cruise) with my grandma. I, unfortunately, unable to go... T_T

Pretty shock of meeting my old friends there... They were promoting their company to the people. As a friend... (Unfortunately) I got "promoted" by them... Asking me to travel... Poor me... T_T (Nice to see you there Pei Voon, Jac, and Xiang Ling)

Besides that, LIVE concert and performance at the stage is also a huge event there... There are some band from Korea, Philipines are there to perform their gigs and rock the Exhibition!!! In Addition, some costume character from Dreamworld are giving joy to the young kids there...

MATTA fair is an EYE open place... GO there once in a while... There is still one day left on the remarkable 3 day event!!!

A sign of Relief...

On the Wednesday where I have to pass up my HUGE assignment... I recieved a shocking news from home... My dad had stroke...

With the first impression, my heart suddenly sank into emptiness when I got the info from my brother. I really feel a sudden blank in my heart, and paused for quite a long time. My bro was crying on the other side... And I suddenly fell into a traumatized position.

Then, I went out to express... Expressing my rage... Sadness... Regret... All the things I do not appriciate in my past few days towards my dad. I quickly jog outside to release all this unwanted emotions... (Of course to buy the neccessary stuff for my assignment. The whole 1 hour and a half outside made me relax...

What makes it much more relaxing is the punishment of God towards my indespicable behaviour... After, I got the infofrom my mum that my dad is ok... I gave a sudden relief, yet still feel uneasy and worried... Soon after, I speak silently in my heart... "Oh God, I regret on my behaviour on not caring for my dad... Please let him be safe and punish me instead..."

I got my punishment alright... And it is a heavy downfall of water from the skies... I don't know this is the reaction of God towards my behaviour... Or merely BAD LUCK!!!

Anyhow, I rushed back hom on Thursday. In the Afternoon, I went to pick up my dad in the hospital. I did not cry since then. He is back to his old wacky dad I used to have... The doctor said it is a minor stroke, my dad manage to reverse the stroke by himself and back to his normal self. So a sign of relief hit me.

Although I told him not to work in the next few days... He just couldn't listen... That's my dad's attitude... But he had tried to cut down on the workload.

Thank you all frenz for giving me the support I need in the few days of worrying. Your concern is very much appriciated. Speaking of appriciation, I felt I need to put more concern to my dad and hope that I won't regret the next time if something bad happen...

The Greed for Knowledge

I have opened another topic. The evil side of me. I call the new category <7>

Greed...

I just finished presented my literature on a novel I have studied, Lord of the Flies. I love that story and do a lot of research for myself. So many research, that even the experts in the internet, (like Spark Notes and BookRags) did not even state the issue out.

And today, I presented my findings in front of the class. Pn. Zarina, my lecturer find it interesting and describe my presentation as "Very unique... Something different but correct... Very good"

I was happy... At the same time, I notice my classmates starts to copy my slides. Then I have to say an evil side of me emerge in my body.

I felt I am stupid... No, EXTREMELY STUPID on presenting my own creation to the class. Now that they have my points, I felt that they would most probably use my point in the exam or something.

I know this is wrong, but I truly got the feeling of regret, and a bit of hatred towards the others that got my unique point. It has become not unique anymore if I use it in my essay in exam, as all the others will use my point as well.

This is a very ad attitude of me, but at least i keep to myself and not saying it out. But then again, having to comit the sin Greed for Knowledge... I truly am... I want to become one of those unique people with wonderful ideas. The Greed has increwasing inside me, and I felt it is hard to control if this goes on.

Do I make the right decision on presenting? I don't know... but I shall see the result sooner in the exam. I really hope this is the suicidal move I made that may cost me to fail in the exam. I'm afraid...
