When I die, don’t come near my body, because my hand may not
be able to wipe your tears anymore.
One day, I’ll leave the world and never come back, you will
cry when you see my number, you will miss me when you sit alone, won’t be able
to hear my laugh and voice again…
There will be no more me to imitate, tease, make you laugh
and say sorry stupidly. Tears might flow out of your eyes but I will be gone,
long and forever. So, enjoy my silly stupid company as much before I close my eyes
forever
p.s : obviously this is not originally from me :P
ENJOY YOUR MONDAY!
How about my Monday? I was fun! Especially on Malay language
class today J
we were instructed to perform one poem from each team. After we were done, we
were told to sing a song to match with the poem. And guess what? Our team got
stuck and don’t know which poem to perform so in the end I told them to use ‘Dirgahayu
Bahasaku’ because I know the song. Of course I’m the one to sing it. It was
super embarrassing but I enjoyed it. At
the end of the class, we sang Hari Raya songs together. It was so much fun.
Bill Gates whose full names are
William Henry Bill Gates III was born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington
USA. Bill founded the world biggest software company (Microsoft) with Paul
Allen. He has been ranked, several times, as one of the top wealthiest people
in the world. He was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009
except when he was ranked 3rd in 2008. He is a renowned philanthropist who
donates often to several charity organizations. This Harvard dropout is
net-worth US$54Billion.
Bill Gates spoke before a group of
high school students and gave them his eleven rules of life. Whether you like
Bill Gates or not...this is pretty cool. Here's some advice Bill Gates recently
dished out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not learn in
school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teaching has created
a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept sets
them up for failure in the real world.
RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.
RULE 2
The world won't care about your
self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel
good about yourself.
RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You
won't be a vice president with car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't
have tenure.
RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a
different word for burger flipping
they called it Opportunity.
RULE 6
if you mess up, it’s not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your
mistakes, learn from them.
RULE 7
before you were born; your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got
that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening
to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from
the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own
room.
RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not.
In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give
you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear
the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few
employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the
coffee shop and go to jobs.
RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
My house has a new kitten, my father picked it up. He said he
picked it up on the road in front of the place he works. To make the story short,
he saw cars and lorries stopped in the middle of the road, so he took a look
and found that they were avoiding cats. Its brothers already died and it is the
only survivor.
I don't know how to snap its picture because it is too black.
This is what happens when I used flash..
there was another cat sitting above hehe
It took me around 3 days so I can touch it. It was wild. It would
bite me when I got near so it was hard for me to give it milk. I had to wrap it
with towel. But it is good now. It loves to bite my toes when it is hungry and
sit on my laps when I am eating. Of course it climbs to my laps with its tiny
claws… (It hurtsL)
And now with the second one, just a simple moral story I found
(^_^)
One day, a rich dad took his son on a trip. Wanted to show
him how poor someone can be. They spent time on the farm of a poor family.
On the way home, dad asked, “Did you see how poor they are? What did you
learn?”.
Son said, “We have one dog, they have four, we have pool, they have rivers, we
have lanterns at night, they have stars, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we
have walls to protect us, they have friends.” Then they headed, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”
MORAL LESSON: It’s not about money that makes us rich, it’s about simplicity of
having God in our lives.
I found this on facebook and decided to share it ^_^
Once upon a
time,
There was a guy who was very much in love with a girl. This romantic guy folded
1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.
Although, at that time he was just a small executive in his company, his future
doesn’t seemed too bright, they were very happy together.
Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come
back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of
them, so let’s go their own ways there and then…
heartbroken, the guy agreed.
When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his
body and mind just to make something out of himself. Finally with all these hard
work n with the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company…
"U never fail until u stop trying” He always told himself."I must
make it in life!"
One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an
umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they
were still drenched.
It didn’t take him long to realise those were his ex-girlfriend’s parents.
With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple,
wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan.
He wanted them to know that he wasn’t the same anymore; he had his own company,
car, condo, etc. He had made it in life!!
Before the guy can realise, the couple was walking towards a cemetary,and he
got out of his car and followed them…and he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph
of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone…
and he saw his precious papercranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb.
Her parents saw him. He walked overand asked them why this had happened. They
explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was stricken ill with
cancer. In her heart, she had believed that he will make it someday, but she
did not want her illness to be his obstacle…therefore she had chosen to leave
him.
She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the
day comes when fate brings him to her again he can take some of those back with
him. The guy just wept …
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them but knowing
you can’t have them and will never see them again.
Before I start, Hey everyone~ it has been a while since I last
posted anything here. I thought I may as well post this since I have free time
right now.
Let’s start with local folktale from Malaysia, Ulek Mayang.
Ulek
Mayang is a classical dance from the state of Terengganu in Malaysia. It is a
type of worshipping dance in which a unique song is sung accompanied with a
Malay orchestra comprising drums, gong, violin and accordion.
The
Ulek Mayang is said to have originated with a sea-princess who fell in love
with a fisherman. The princess enchanted the fisherman so that his body
remained unconscious. A bomoh (shaman) conducted a healing ritual to
bring the fisherman's soul back, to which the princess responded by calling on
five of her sisters. The battle between the bomoh and the 6 princesses
continued until the seventh and the eldest princess appeared and put an end to
it.
"I know all your origins” says the eldest princess and
she commands everyone, "Let those from the sea to return to the sea, and
those from the land to return to the land".
The grateful bomoh and the fisherman’s colleagues present
the princess with coloured rice as an offering to the spirits of the sea. This
practice, along with the Ulek Mayang dance, continued until the Islamic
revival movement of recent decades.
The dance
consists of 10 to 15 people in a circle to worship the seven princesses (the
sisters of the sea-princess). It is usually conducted at night. The Ulek Mayang
song is usually sung to accompany the dance.
The
Ulek Mayang song is a unique song accompanying the dance. The song is claimed
by some Malaysians as haunted for it gives goose bumps and creepy
feelings, especially if played at the beach.

Yesterday I spent most of my time
in school at the library to help my friends prepare for debate competition. After
recess, when I walked around the library, I saw a book. The title was “I don’t
want to be crazy” by Samantha Schutz. The book caught my attention so I took
it. I put it beside me just in case if I had free time, I want to read it. I took
a quick look at the back of the book to look for the description. It was a true
story of growing up, breaking down, and coming to grips with a psychological
disorder. In the end, I don’t have a chance to read the book because my teacher
took it. It seems like the book caught her attention too and after that, my
friends took it.
The book somehow reminded me of a drama I watched around a
year ago. It was based on a true story about a teenage girl named Aya Kitō was
diagnosed with a disease called spinocerebellar Degeneration when
she was 15 years old. The disease causes the person to lose control over their
body, but because the person can retain all mental ability the disease acts as
a prison. So in the end she cannot eat, walk or talk.
Through family, medical examinations and rehabilitations,
and finally succumbing to the disease, Aya must cope with the disease and live
on with life until her death at the age of 25.
Shortly
before her death, her diary was published. Initially, the diary's purpose was
for Kitō to chronicle impressions she had about how the disease was affecting
her daily life. As the disease progressed, however, the diary became Kitō's
outlet for describing the intense personal struggles she underwent in coping,
adapting, and ultimately trying to survive her disease. As she notes in one
entry, "I write because writing is evidence that I am still alive."
The diary
was given the title of “1 liter of tears” also called A Diary with Tears or A
Diary of Tears. The diary has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.
I heard
that the book can be bought at Kinokuniya Bookstore at KLCC. Now I really want
to buy it.
