12 things I want to do in 2012

2012-01-05T23:07:00.000+08:00

This year, unlike previously I am not going to make a post on new year resolution because I realised that I never really work on my resolution because I don't really have the disciplines to follow something for a long time. Not going to write on how I will start changing my bad habits into a good one, learn a new language or instruments or bla bla bla, as I know I will forget about all that as soon as January ends. So, this year I am going to post about mostly one timer thing that I can really do, well except the first one. Some are just merely for enjoyment while I hope to gain some knowledge in a few of it also try some delicious and disgusting food!

1. Vlog

I have been talking about this last year but being a great procrastinator like always it never really happen. Although I posted my first video on 2012 New Year fireworks few days ago yet I want something more than that. To really vlog! *fingers crossed*
p/s: and hopefully I get back my blogging life too.

2. Bake perfect macarons

Bake a few batch last year but wasn't perfect. Tasted ~~good~~ okay but didn't look appealing. All because I am not good at piping. Lots of improvement needed.

3.Watch "Three Kingdoms"

A 95 episodes historical drama! I am very interested with the history yet never really read/watch anything about it. Perhaps I will find some time to watch it.

4. Mini bedroom makeover

Stayed in hostel too long turned my room into half a store and no more closet for me as the termites destroyed it last year. So I need a budget makeover.

5.Chocolate buffet at The Chocolate Bar, MBS

Can't care too much about the few extra pounds, I craved for this since my first visit to MBS yet don't have the chance for it because they only open for dinner at S$38 per pax. Quite pricey but most reviews claimed that it really worth it. And JumpyLemon is coming with me too, yea, hopefully.

6. Eat fried bugs at Thailand

Yes, I am going to do this, Fear Factor like challenge. Sorry to all my vegetarian friends but I still believe that I should go wild once in a while in life doing thing like this. I heard its tasty not, so don't just a dish by the look.

7. Play laser tag

I played paint ball, got shot and it hurts pretty bad. So laser tag is an alternative, best of all it is opening soon in Ipoh! Gotta play with all my naughty cousins.

8.Read all Harry Potter books

True that I watch all the movie yet didn't read a single page of the books. I am either going to read the e-books or borrow from friends. And when I finish it I will wake up in Hogwarts.

9.Indoor Skydiving

Something a little extreme but before I can afford a real skydiving I thing I might need some indoor practice. Only RM38 at Genting. Must be a great family activity.

10.Join 30 Hours Famine

Thought of some volunteer works but this is one great way to really put myself to understand famine, it will not shed the extra pounds off me but the camp sure will teach me more about appreciating food and life!

11.Run a 5k

Don't really know how to put this to words but I still hate jogging but forced myself to jog recently and running a 5k this year will really mean an achievement for myself.

12.Hand sew a bag

Sew one years ago but not the one in the photo. Nothing come close to the proud of using a self-sew bag. Although my work will not be as need as my aunt's but I put my 10 fingertips on risk of being poke by needle for this.

The post break up syndrome

2011-11-23T19:37:00.000+08:00

Is getting into a new relationship right after a break up the best way to forget the heartbreaking pain? If one is not brave or mature enough to handle heartbreak by him/herself, one shall not be in a relationship.

With a broken heart, uncontrollable tears, the missing smile on my face. There is a sudden fallen angel appear in my life, unbearable watching me being so sad, he said "Hand me all the broken pieces of your heart, I will try best to mend it back for you". This might be the single most romantic, tears stopping phrase in one life. But the doubt is 'Do one really loves this fallen angel, or one just wants to have his/her heart mend?'

The biggest misconception one has after a break up, is blaming the other party for breaking one's heart. Little did we notice, no one can break your fragile little glass like heart with his/her bare hand, without hurting him/herself. So, stop assuming that the other person is enjoying his/her life after break up and leave you alone to suffer all the hell on earth. Moving on might be one of the hardest challenge but it is also a must.

Its hard because it a sudden big change in life, there is no more the one you to wish you good night, sweet dreams, the missing smile that normally kick start your day, no more hand to held on. For every moment in the relationship, you thought its not important, those small little things you never bother to treasure, are those that one missed the most after a break up.

For every moment the heart misses a beat every single time a memory of the relationship strike. It shows how much loves we once put in. How is that after a break up, we hate the person we once love whole-heartedly? People always say: "The deeper the love, the greater the pain letting it go" Be grateful that we are able to love.

And I believe tears actually ease the pain. It worries me more, if one is not crying after a break up. It shows that one is trying too hard to hold back the emotions. Its a part of acceptance, understand and letting go.
If breaking up is a failure in relationship, both parties should be responsible for it. Reflect about things you did that contribute that failure, and never repeat it.
Speaking from experience, rushing into a new relationship right after a break up does not help me heal at all. Not only that I made myself suffered a lot, I indirectly pull the guy into my suffering too.

Heart will heals itself, sooner or later. I believe that alone time after break up, is the time we grew up a lot mentally. Our heart is so strong, that it can undergo break up after break up, pain after pain yet able to give us hope that one day we will all meet that right person where our broken hearts fit perfectly with each other just like puzzle pieces and will never separate.

Happy memories should be preserved, pain should be forgotten.
Time heals!
Give yourself sometime to recover from all the pain, then forget about it, and start loving like you never been hurt before. ^__^

Signing off with a plaster on my heart too.

A special date or just some random numbers?

2011-11-11T11:11:00.000+08:00

Scheduled to post at 11:11am 11/11/11 *well, just for fun*

Numbers, unlimited combination that can give you some hope when you need it or it might just piss you off.
There are like never ending list of Facebook share on my homepage where single people looking for a-one-day-relationship so that their 11th November 2011 is some-what memorable.
I was like

Why do these people think that 11/11/11 is a good day to ~~end~~ stop single life?? Aren't we suppose to enjoy it in a "I am single and available" way? Since its a ONE, why not enjoy your ONE life?
Or maybe its because all those 1 come in pairs and that is why people looking for a company. If so we should have 'table of 6' gathering instead.

By far this 11/11/11 in my opinion is the most overrated meaningful date ever.
Look at Twitter

Look at Facebook

Due to overwhelming response images cannot fit here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I still don't get why everyone is making a fuss out of the date? Its just like any other day in your life, why it get so many special attention? *Oh well, it make other dates jealous*

The fact is everyday worth celebration if and only if we live it to the fullest. 11/11/11 don't mean a shit if we just sit there and do nothing. To all singles out there, instead of finding a one day relationship with someone in the friendzone why not, gather all the courage in you and confess to the special one in your heart. Who knows today might be your lucky day, plus it will make your future anniversary much more meaningful.

If you haven't meet the special one of your life yet, (like me) spare yourself form one day relationship. Life can be good alone. We aren't born in pair *well, unless you are twins* it can be a family day or a friendship day.

Well, you might think spending 11/11/11 alone is like

But it can be like

Depending how you want it to be.

*Now you still got less than 12 hours to make your 11:11 wish tonight. Think of a good one*

1. Because I just realised that I didn't update my blog for exactly 55 days. I actually ignored all the on growing spider web on my blog while laziness being the main reason and moodless is another.

2. After twitting for so long I noticed that I haven't even reach my 10 000th yet, which I thought I should be able to accomplish last week. Also, I am still 31 followers away from reaching 400 followers which I also thought I should be able to accomplish it last week. *oh well, obviously I'm trying to play my sympathy card here **on my knee** would you ~~marry me?~~ follow me on twitter please? @supiachao*

3. My heels or I should say I feet peeled like I had a skin diseases, or maybe I should be glad that I don't need that Sasa Beauty Foot to peel the dead skin for a baby smooth heel.

Nah, I am not going to list out 99 reason for so forget about the title its time for some real blogging.
*thinking of a topic*
I remember quite some time ago, back at the Innit group gathering at Facebook someone posted a question regarding people that ask for donation when you dining at a restaurant, will you or will you not donate.
I am not a kiamsap stingy person but seriously I never donate to those people that ask for donation in restaurant, be it those holding newspaper articles, photos, medical letter proving helping those in ill or those walking around selling plushier, soft toys hand made by disable people. Reason is because I wish to enjoy my meal without any disturb. I believe its a common sense not to disturb people having their meal, even at home we are not encourage to talk while eat now you expect people to stop eating, look at the information you provided, find own wallet, take out the money and hand it over? Oh well, please don't forget one should wash hand again after contact with something as dirty as money. So, after that continue eating?
I am not sure is it only me or its the same for everyone else, I don't like being interrupt while I am eating. Not that I am anti-donation or something just I don't like people asking for donation when I am eating. Its a big different.

There are many different ways of collecting donation you can walk on busy street or something but why choose a way people hated the most?

So, what do we call those people that asks for money from us to help them live a better life? It could be job tho. Speaking from past experience it could be either beggar, volunteer, street performance or cheater.
It must be the last on list that cause others to be in disgrace.

Didn't want to drag this post too long I should have a part 2 instead. I should just focus on cheater.
I had a few friends that never donate to any beggars because they firmly believe that were actually some tactics behind those disable people, some sort or organisation are behind it, they are using others sympathy towards disable people to earn money.
How many times do we hold ourselves back from donating because we are afraid that they are cheater?
A few time in KL Central I was approached by random aunties asking for RM2 for the bus fair because of some very common reason like they used up all their money, not enough money to get home, lost purse or some other reason and 3 out of 3 times I did give them RM2 and I even asked if it is enough. Whenever I tell someone about it the first thing I got is "Stupid la you, obviously they are cheater" till I was bored.

Also another encounter was at Midvalley KTM station and a few other stations *not very familiar with KL I forgot the names* I come across a group of youngsters asking me to sign certain paper to show my support to some 'down syndrome foundation' or it was some 'Orphanage' and I signed, then they asked me to buy a handcrafted pen for RM30 to support them financially. Well, this time I simply crossed my name from the list, dropped the pen and run away. The next day at Times Square I see the same group of people doing the same thing. I walk very fast past the crowd to avoid them. In my mind I got the thinking they could be cheater or something because the way the approached me. They didn't come and ask very directly for money but after a small talk all they want is just your money. And for most people after they signed the paper they are ashamed not to pay RM30 to show the support and thus pay. My cousin experienced the same thing, because she feel kinda bad not paying RM30 since she already did signed, and that is the only choice she has that moment to get out from the situation.

I am not sure if you have encounter such incident before or not, or those people simply target non-local and young people. It is easier to cheat a teenager than an adult I believe.

The difference is one come straight forward telling what they need while another hide their main purpose. Also RM2 and RM30 is a huge different for a poor student like me. Till now I am still unsure if the RM2 given was an act of kindness or dumbness. All I have in mind was if the RM2 really can help someone get home and doesn't hurt me why not? If someone is cheating you for RM2 maybe they are really desperate. Don't come and tell me "Stop being so silly, they are cheater, if 10 people give them RM2 they got RM20 already, if 100 people they got RM200, see how easy they earn." Well, you can do a survey and see how many person actually willy to give others that little help? 9 out of 10 people will think that they are cheater and not help. What if one day you are robbed and no one willing to help? Are we sometimes being over protective?
The fear of getting cheat actually outgrown the sympathy we have for others.

How people can steal money from you without you realise.

2011-06-16T21:58:00.002+08:00

I know I should have update earlier but you know larh there are lazy bones all in me.

So, I am now back in Ipoh doing nothing just enjoying my life whiles looking for a new job to buy a new phone. I know it's so shallow of me but still I need a phone to survive after I lost mine.

I'm not going to blog about why I quit my job in KL or whatever but there is a story I want to share. I will not include the Restaurant name, the supervisor name, the manager name, the cashier name or whoever I know there.

HOW RM300 can be stolen from a cash box before you realise!!! (In case you missed my tweets)

This incident happens about 2 weeks ago. SATURDAY, 4th JUNE 2011. My first day working at a Japanese Restaurant somewhere in KL. It was a very busy day, customers in and out non stop, we got no time to rest or try to lazy around. Then here come an Arab couple (no offence thats the truth) walk in quietly. When the manager approaches them they just grab a plate of Inari Sushi on the belt and said "Take Away". Then the manager hand over that plate of sushi to a waiter and I walked away from the scene.
Then after the closing I was supposed to follow the cashier back to the hostel but some problem occurred. There is a missing RM300 from the cash box. (Sum near RM300) Nobody knows where the money went, I helped them matching the bills to check if there is any mistake but nothing. Then the Supervisor recall about the Arab couple incident. She said the Arab guy pat on her shoulder and mumbled something she don't understand to her while she is making her change maybe the Arab guy steal the money from her. Then we try to check the CCTV to see if the recording show anything but too bad they, the manger and the supervisor forget the password. So, me and the cashier headed home to the hostel. She were told to pay RM100 for the missing RM300, each of them need to pay RM100 to balance the closing. As a cashier but to pay.
4 days later. THURDAY, 9th JUNE 2011. A guy came to fix the CCTV problem, and search for the clips of the Arab guy. And the CCTV revealed EVERYTHING! Sorry no video attached. I am just nobody to get the video from them. I just try to use my plain English to describe what I see in the clip.

The Arab guy walk to the counter, paying for the sushi. The supervisor is there to 'entertain' him. He opens his wallet wide, and the supervisor grabs a piece of RM5 note from his wallet and return 2 pieces of RM1. You think the transaction end here? Nope. Then the Arab guy takes out 5 RM10 notes from his wallet asked to change for a RM50 note I suppose. The supervisor, accepted keep the RM10 notes and give him RM50 note in exchange. The Arab guy check the note and mumble something to the supervisor. Then the manager enters the counter, print out some receipt for a customer, I dun know if they talk to each other, then she walked away. 'The supervisor then say to the manager "He wants to have the RM50 note with the 50th Merdeka anniversary print, that time you walk in I asked you if I should change the RM50...."' I didn't get the whole thing but after the manager walk away, she open the cash box and really search for limited edition RM50 note. She goes through the RM50 notes in the cash box then the Arab guy interrupt her search, his right hand raised and point at the bottom batch of the RM50 notes, the supervisor then bring out all the RM50 notes in the cash box to go through one by one from right hand to left hand, (I forget which hand to which hand, I only watch it once) then the Arab guy joins her search, his right hand try to reach the notes on the supervisor right hand then his left hand come from no way to join. He acted like he is trying to take the money from the supervisor, the supervisor moved the money closer to her, somehow at that time his left hand pulled a few note and quickly put it in his pocket while his right hand still busy trying to disturb the supervisor search. Then with his right hand he pat the supervisor shoulder and remain casual.

Me and the manager did see the incident during the first play, the we replayed so that everyone can watch it, I asked the manager if she want to make a police report anot since now it had been confirmed that the money was stolen. She just answer 'what for? not like the police can catch the thief'. Later I walked away from the CCTV to continue my work. After I know the truth no point standing there hoping for dramas. But the Arab guy was really fast, even if you are watching the CCTV clips, if you did not concentrate at that moment you will miss that too. Even the supervisor herself did not notice that the money was taken right in front of her eyes, and had to rely on the CCTV recording to check the truth. Later they gave a copy of the video to the supervisor, and she kept it in her laptop, she then only stated that she cannot enjoy her holiday after knowing the truth. I don't know if she ever apologize for her mistake causing the company to lost money, okay, since now it has been proven that the money was stolen I am not sure who should be responsible over this. the company or the workers? Later that night I asked the cashier is she will get her money back? But she just answered me 'dunno'.

My analysis.
First of all why things like this can happens and who to blame??
I would say the design of the counter sucks!

WHY?

Lemme briefly draw the design.

And to make thing worse the CCTV is right on top of the cash box. So in that video we only see the ~~head~~ hair of the supervisor and the hands of the Arab guy, NO FACE! omg.
Obviously there is something wrong with the design, maybe they want to have more space for the tables thus leaving too little space for the counter and end up with no choice but having such design.
If you dunno how normally a counter should take place in a restaurant, I draw one to remind you.

Just a simply conclusion, the design, give a huge advantage for the thief to steal.

Then again, nothing personal but I think the supervisor should be responsible for the lost.
Why would you let the customer to come so close to you while you are changing the money?
Why would you let the customer to touch you and the money?
Lastly Why on the first place agrees to change the RM50 note, like you know you got 1 of the limited edition version note in your cash box?
You can kindly reject him especially on a busy day.

Maybe not enough experience explains that or maybe she is just don't fit to be a supervisor. (Okay, this start to get personal, sorry.)
I remember last year, I worked part time at my uncle's restaurant. The first thing the existing cashier teach me is,
1st. must always make sure that no come can have any contact with your cash box.
2nd. don't let others know how much money you have in the cash box, if you need to count the money, hold the money as low as possible so others can't see.
3rd. don't let any customers enter or get near the counter

Last time I used to think that she was way too caution, she even scold kids away if the kids are playing near the entrance of the counter. Now I know experience says it all.

The personal part, I think the supervisor is just too stupid to agree to change the RM50, and give the Arab guy the chance when she brings the money out from the cash box that suppose to protect the money. Then I come to think that maybe its not her fault, maybe the Arab guy put some spell on her cause her to be blur but wait, if the Arab guy put a spell on her why don't he take all the money in the cash box or all the money from her but only take a few pieces? So I don't think the Arab guy knows any spell, he is just plain fast with some brain. Now I think this sounded like a joke. Where got people so stupid that someone stole money right from your hand also you dunno?
-case closed-

You may laugh.
Also spread this story so that others can take precaution. Let's hope ~~you don't have such worker that will change a RM50 note without knowing that if he/she has any limited edition version in her cash box~~ that the same thing won't happen again elsewhere.

The JPA scholarship issue

2011-05-23T22:39:00.001+08:00

I didn't actually wanted to blog about this now but after following Dr. Wee Ka Siong on Twitter and seeing his endless reply regarding this issue I just decided to drop my two cents in my own blog. Remember this is my blog.

I am not trying to create another controversial issue because I don't see the issue on the same surface everyone looking. Every year, this is a common issue. The JPA Jabatan Pendidikan Awam scholarship issue. The allocation issue. Why students with straight A+ did not get the scholarship?
If you are a straight A+ student and you didn't get the scholarship and my question below.
"If they are giving out the sholarship base on the number of A+ on your SPM cert, then why would they held an interview session with the students?"

Then again don't get offended as you read on, I am not racist or trying to be racist.

But why every year after the JPA scholarship result release sure there will be a number of Chinese students appear on the newspaper complaining on how unfair the government is when they didn't get the scholarship. I am not sure if Indians do the same because I don't read Tamil newspaper but obviously we rarely see any Malays complain on that la. So it make all Chinese think that all Malays actually get scholarship easier. But its actually not like that. I know Malay friends with equivalent excellent result that didn't get JPA but did not appear in the front page.
One thing with Chinese is they complain too much. Chinese newspaper always so much thicker compare to English or Malay newspaper, loaded with so many complains.
One thing with Malay is they accept things too easily. Whenever my Malay friends didn't get something they will say 'Takpe la, takde nasib tu' (Its okay, its just not my luck) They rather go low profile handling the same case.

Every year there is a big fuss regarding this issue.
Why must those student that get straight A+ think so highly of themselves? They lodge a complain because they see their 'friends' with lesser A+ granted a scholarship to further their studies overseas while they end up with only an open scholarship to matriculation. And its funny when they lodge the complain they attach the fact that their friend from the same school with 8A+ and 9A+ get overseas scholarship where else she who obtained 10A+ only get matriculation. Didn't she make those with 8A+ sound stupid?

Quoted from Dato Wee Ka Siong “However, students who obtained poorer results were awarded scholarships to study at universities overseas,” Poorer you mean straight A with 4A+ poor?

Be it A, A+ or A- as long as its A then its good. Check the JPA scholarship requirement. You must have at least 9A- to apply for the scholarship.
http://esilav2.jpa.gov.my/esila_new/pdf/2011_piln/Syarat-syarat_permohonan_piln_2011.pdf

So if you take 14 to 15 subjects for SPM its does not matter. Only 9 subjects stated were taken into account on the scholarship. So don't take so many subjects just focus on the 9 subjects enough larrh.

This year, 2000 students were selected for the scholarship. And I come across this funny thing as I was doing my research for this post. Its so funny that I must attach here.

en.ismail, (JPA director)
lf you want us to respect you,very simple,unveil the total lists of the selected 2000 candidates,see how professional are these ppl from your other gomen departments!
we want to know:1.full name,2.parent’s full name,3.result,4.what is the actual guide-lines in selection,5.which school,6.which state,7.what subject they applied,what subject were given,8.where do you send them to,9.how much you spent,10.what is the assurance that they will be back,11.what is the assurance that they are qualified?12.what is the assuranxe that they wont stop halfway,13.what are the terms n conditions?14.what are the penalties?15.are you going to do the same thing next year?

Its is a bit crazy, parent's full name also you want to know for what? Don't know how to respect people privacy?

During my school time, I was forced by my school to attend lots of talks regarding scholarship and how to apply for scholarship. Mind you that I was from MRSM not ordinary SMK student. I remember I was told these.
1. There are 2 stages of JPA scholarship, 1 the online registration, 2 the interview.
2. In the online registration if you fit the requirement then you can apply, then wait for the interview call.
3. During the interview everyone got the same chance, be it the one with 9A+ or the one with 9A- all stand the chance for the scholarship.
4. Impress the interviewer during the interview. Don't overshine others nor be too quite during the interviews. Not good either way. Be yourself but show them what you got, impress them with your thoughts.
5. Co-Curriculum is very important too. During the interview this was taken into the count too. So if you did not do very well in Co-curriculum don't expect too much.
6. If you are from cluster school, SBP, or MRSM you stand a higher chance for the scholarship.
7. If you are poor, stay out-town you stand a lil higher chance too.

Today, I find only part of it its true. Me and my friends from the batch from MRSM, mind you all the non-bumi non of us get JPA scholarship. Be it the straight A1 students or the one with no straight As. And most of us end locally and we all get at least 8/10 for our co-curriculum too. Maybe we all suck at interviews who knows. But every year different one ma, so I am not going to bring in my history regarding this issue.

Now the racial ratio for JPA scholarship is 55:45 it used to be 90:10 in 2006. So its already so much more fair it is now compare to last time. Because whenever a Chinese didn't get a scholarship immediately he will think that the government is racist. Don't forget all this happen because 52 years ago your beloved Tun Tan Cheng Lock signed an agreement to respect the bumiputera their privilege in exchange of your citizenship. And now its so much less racial compare to 10 or 20 years before, yet we Chinese never satisfy.

And I wonder how many Chinese JPA scholar do come back to serve the country? Or they rather stay overseas with higher pay and don't plan to come back to work with the government.

This year alone, there are 363 students with straight A+, I remind myself A+ means you scored 90 and above. I was terrified! Got that smart anot oh? But its seem so easy for someone to get A+ now then A1. Eh, A1 only need 80 and above, its either the newer generation is so much smarter or the graph had been lowered. But hey wait, I thought they said A+ got nothing to do with the graph, but I totally doubted that. But who cares about that right? If you think having straight A+ means you are so much smarter think again. Scholarship is not a right, its a privilege. Because of the increasing number of students with excellent result but the number of scholarship wasn't really increasing that is why everyone got angry over this.
Just because you scored 10A+ and someone with only 4A+ gets the scholarship doesn't mean that he or she is less smart compare to you. With 4A+ he or she is still a high achiever. Please don't bring up matter like this to the newspaper its just show that you are shallow bringing it up and I understand why they chose the one with 4A+ over you because you simply don't know how to respect other people and think too highly of yourself. That is lack of soft skills, because you simply can't get along and work well in groups so why would you deserve the scholarhip?

Like I mention in my Twitter, my sister with 9A+ got JPA scholarship this year. That is why I am kinda concern over this year JPA issue. For those with 10 or 11A+ that didn't get JPA scholarship before you say its unfair, I just wanna say, you didn't get the scholarship because you are just simply not good enough. Maybe your non academic is not as impressive as your academic results.
Last week, I accompany my sister to her interview for Bank Negara scholarship, aka, Biasiswa Kijang. So, I have been told. 5000 applied for that, but only 150 were shortlisted and only 50 will be awarded with that scholarship. But the scholarship offered only business related course. And there are 6 person in the same group that day, and to my surprise all of them got JPA but they wanted Bank Negara scholarship more. My sis who wanted medicine lasted talked to the interviewers, ask her about the medicine scholarship. If you think you are really really very smart, you should read this. Bank Negara offer scholarship for medicine but its very hard to get because every year they will contact the top 20 SPM students. They contact them personally and ask them to come over for an interview. After a few cuts the scholarship will be given to only THREE of them, they will be given the chance to choose the course they wanted in the country of their choice and best of all no bond!
See, if you are really smart you don't need to rely on JPA for a chance to further your study overseas, there are many other opportunities. I know friends with straight A1 my time ended up with nothing but Form6, a total nerd of course.

Why JPA did not bother when others are making a big fuss over this issue? Because they know they make the correct decision and they don't need to explain. Because the more they explain the bigger the mess. Results are just results, whether you deserve the scholarship anot they are many other points to take into the count. That is why they had the interview, and whether did you impress the interviewers anot is rather subjective. You might think that you did a good job but the interviewers like it or not is another thing.

But what MCA got to do with the JPA appeal? Why did you appeal for JPA not in the JPA website but the MCA youth website?? Why would a politic party wanted to be a hero over this matter? If you think JPA is unfair and why do you think MCA is fair? Come on, its politics even with 11A+ you think you can understand what really in their mind and motive behind this? You might end up no where, and MCA will said they did their best to help you and you still feel MCA is your hero.

I got so much more in my mind but decided to stop here. Maybe I should save it for other post.

The Infamous SMK Raja Abdullah Bullying Case Part 2

2011-05-10T03:06:00.001+08:00

This is the story from the victim side, and the action taken b the Ministry of Education over this matter. I am glad that the victim stands up to talk about the incident. So far only 303 views for this video.

Its sad to know that she has been bullied since 4 months ago. I can't imagine how much pressure she felt being bully for so long.

And its stated in the video, the 4 girls, the culprits behind the video, including 2 students that cut her hair, strangled her and smacked her with a text book, the girl that records the video and the girl that uploads the video to Youtube were suspended from school for 14 days and counselling. (I counted wrongly or it is really only 2 person that hit her? I thought there were 3)

Just like this only, what suspensions mean to the bullies? Perhaps they only see it as extra holiday. I always wonder what is the point of suspension. Its not like you suspend them for 14 days, 14 days later they come back to school and turn a new leaf. Why not do something more practical?

Its funny that the Deputy Education Minister said they can only suspend the perpetrators because the victim was not hurt physically and suspension is the most rightful punishment for them. And this is not very serious bully case. Then what is consider as serious bully? Broken legs, broken arms, bruised eyes? They should include humiliation as serious bully case too. The other students in the class were no bother to stop the bullying. They just act like its non of their business, so selfish.

Its my bad that I questioned why the girl just sits there and let others bully her. She is mentally challenged. Not only like what we see in the video, they splashed water on her, stick chewing gums on her hair, and much more. She did report to the teacher but the teacher just ignored her. Her mom complained to the principal regarding the issue about four five times yet the school authority only suggested her to change to another school due to her learning disability.

Why the school authority can be so ignorant when it comes to handling case like this?

What more, I found this very interesting article. Taken here.

It was taken from one of the bullies blog, if she is telling the truth that her teacher beaten her because she did not run the 10 laps, she walked instead. I was shock, over small matter like this can beat the student? No wonder the students can be so arrogant and get themselves involve in bullying.

This is a weird case, to me this look like they got many stories covered up, they hide the truth from us. Its getting more and more complicated now. Something wrong with the school.

Why they suggest the girl to change schools to a special learning school? I believed she studied in a normal school during her primary school. This mean that her learning disability is not that bad till she need special care in special school. Not weird meh?

Btw, the Miss Cherry aka 意大利面 finally deleted 99% of her hate comments in her blog.

And now they are circulating the photo of the poor victim around Facebook. Again I think that photo is fake, to me it don't look like its from the same person. I don't want to do extra circulation of the photo, if you are really keen to see the photo, here is the link. Fake right?

And this is worse.

Why so immature?? I pity him for this picture. Don't try to provoke Facebookers they can be scary.

P?S: On my previous blog post where I said that the video is fake, I was proven wrong and I am really sorry for questioning so much on that video matter. Yet still, I want to clarify that I did not in anyhow support bullying. Just that my previous post on this matter is because the reaction of those Facebooker toward the incident. The way they create those hate pages and leaving harsh comments on the girl (even if she is a bully) is something I disagree with. And lastly, for the victim, I hope that you can get over this, don't let it shadow your future. We sympathize you and you got endless supports to move on to a better life.

The Infamous SMK Raja Abdullah Bullying Case

2011-05-08T22:13:00.031+08:00

This is a very hot topic circulated over Facebook. It was just a 3 minutes video, poor quality. Showing a poor school girl bullied by a few others. The video I watched wasn't the original video, obviously edited with additional sound track.

I doubted if the video is real, or if the video is real it does not represent the whole story. Why we jump to conclusion so fast after watching that 3 minutes video. Don't you think its unfair? Always remember, do not believe 100% what you see on the internet. Videos can be edited. Bear in mind, when I write this, I don't have much information on the case, I only see the video, a few hate pages, and a blog with hate comments. I just write base on that few things I see.

In the first half of the video, we see the victim crying and she was holding her rubber band, a girl holding a pair of scissors, trying to cut her hair, I am not sure if she did cut her hair or not, coz I did not see any hair falling, and look carefully, her uniform is still clean and hair free. How can that be? Obviously if your hair was cut, it will fall all over, thats why in salon we had this coat on so that the hair won't fall on the body. And there is this piece of black sugar paper flagging at the camera. And listen carefully you can hear someone said '3, 2, 1, Action!' So what this mean?

Some screen shot from that video. It was noisy but I guess the person that recorded that video trying to cover the truth therefore she added a soundtrack to cover it.\

That was the first half of the video, and if you take a look at the second half of the video,

Did you notice that it becomes vertical screen? Before this horizontal one right? Maybe that wasn't everything. But obviously that video didn't show the whole process where the victim hair was cut. The frame showed the girl hairs become 'short' where actually her hair was tied. And these 2 bullies with scissors in their hand, if you look carefully you will notice that they just moving the scissors at her hair fast not cutting, even professional hairstylist cannot cut hair with that speed ba. And the bottom left picture, her hair was cut but not that much.You can see that there was some hair on her skirt, but on the floor and everywhere else, no single sign of hair pun. If they really cut her hair till very short, where are all the hairs? And the bottom right picture, thats the face of the girl that smacks the victim head with a text book. And obviously not that girl everyone talks about!!

I strongly believe that this whole video is made up just for some attentions and dramas. And I am not sure if this is a real bully case or just some dramas created by some bored students. I watched this video repeatedly and I find its kinda not real. I believe that 意大利麵 was framed because I don't think I see her in that video.

1. Why the victim just sits there and let people bully her? Why don't she run away? I thought its human nature to either flight or fight. Neither did she flight nor fight. She sits there and cry, and let others bully her. Its very weird if you ask me. The victim is a little mental challenged. Okay, I got it.

2. What with the music? That song? Was that supposed to mean something? Or to hide something - the truth?

3. Explain the hair band the victim hold in her hand! Even the bullies tied their hairs in school. Why she holds her hair band? Why she didn't tie her hair in the school? I remember school rules stated that all female students must tie their hair neatly. Why she untied her hair? Look like she was prepared to had her hair cut by them. If she is holding her hair band means she untied her hair herself, the bullies didn't untie her hair to cut it. So, to me it seems planned.

4. What with the flagging paper and sugar paper? If they want to just bully that girl why they flag the paper and say '3, 2, 1, Action!' Means that they were aware that someone is video taping them. Yes, they were aware, and they are doing it for fun.

5. That video focused on the victim and we hardly see the face of the bullies. There are 4 person bullying her but why only one gets all the blame? And how come everyone knows its her? It's not like she show up a lot in that video.

6. Why at the second half of the video, they let the girl tie her hair back? And make it look like they actually cut her hair short.

And for those people that jump to conclusion so fast and curse that girl, you guy are just the same. So easily influenced by a 3 minutes , poor quality, disturbed audio video. Bully case happens everywhere. The victim deserves sympathy. But look like she didn't gets that much attention. And the video has been circulated, why would anyone share the video? First of all, the video only show the victim humiliation, if we really wanted to do something for the victim good, we should not circulate that video, stop sharing it. Delete the video and hand it to the police to take over. The more we circulate, the more humiliation she felt.Who are us to curse at this young girl? To scold bad words to her, disturb her life. Why all those people that commented on her blog, comment as if they lived an angel life, they never call anyone bitch, ugly, pig, stupid before? Can this be possible? When you are young don't tell me you never ever call someone fat or ugly before. Its her personal blog, she can do anything there. The those comments were super rude. See here. Maybe she already regret on what she have done to the girl. Come on, instead of putting all the blames on her, why can't we seek for the truth? Bullies are not born to be bullies. They must have went through something, lost their self confidence become really weak emotionally, not getting any care from anyone resulting them to bully others because they just want to feel alive and important again. Although this is a wrong way but hey, she is just a 13 years old kid. We cannot expect her to think maturely, when everyone can be so immature by cursing her to hell. When we were young, everyone did something they regret because of bad influence. We should lend her a hand, understand her situation and help her get out of it. Cursing her don't help at all! And someone even posted her hand phone number at the video links, and of course many called and sms her regarding that video incident. I checked her Facebook wall.

And because everything happened so fast, from uploading video, to unveiling her facebook profile, her blog link and now her phone number. Don't you think it was all well planned to frame her? To let the whole world knows about how a badass she is? Why no one gives any information on the victim? We should find her and understand the whole problem, give her cares, loves and supports Not jump into conclusion and curse that young bully.

Most people that commented on the video link, showering her with curse words are adults, she might be the one bullying the victim. But all those thousands of comments you guy left on the video link, her blog post was also a kind of bully. She bullied that girl, everyone got so angry and start bullying her, she got so angry and bully that girl again. So when this bullying cycle stop?
If those adults can be influence so easy by a 3 minutes video, got so angry and start cursing. What that girl did wasn't that bad anymore.
We don't know the whole story of what happen between them, all we know is what we see in that 3 minutes video. Think again, do you think it is fair to judge someone based on that video. I know its heat breaking when we see a young girl helplessly sit there and let her classmates bully her. They got no rights to bully the girl, and everyone else got no rights to curse them to death. Let the police handle the case.
When I go through her blog comments, I was totally shock, waseh, can use such word to curse people one wor. She might be rude in her post, but those comments are worse, if a 3 minutes video can triggers so much anger in you, you probably need some mental rehabilitation. Instead of showering her with bad words, which does not help in anything, do something to stop bullying.

p/s: This is just my humble opinion, I am just trying to view this incident from another point of view. Do hate me because I did not see things the way you did. I do not support bully, just that I am upset with the way how we react to this problem (that thousands of hate comments with all curse words at the girl blog) Instead of cursing her like that why not find a solution? I feel sympathy for the victim but at the same time it's harsh for those people that commented at Miss Cherry's blog to says such thing to her. Don't hate her too much! Why not just do something to help the victim gets over this traumatic incident? We can't solve a bully case by bullying the big bully back! I hope action will be taken regarding this matter.

UPDATE! Okay, it has been proved that the video is real, I was wrong and I am really sorry for that. Its was not staged, it's a real bully case. Action has been taken on 4 girls involved in the video, they will be suspended for 14 days and undergo some counselling. But they did not mention which of the 4 girls were suspended. So, do the case closes here?
Look at the video again, obviously there is a guy in the video, didn't really involve but he was there, 1 girl holds the camera, 1 more with the black sugar paper, 1 more that stand behind the victim cutting her hair, another 1 appear to join the girl cutting the victim hair at the second half of the video. and lastly 1 more girl grab the text book and hit the girl hair. If I am not mistaken there should be 5 girls and 1 boy in the video. Why only 4 were punished?

The punishment, they punish the girls to please angry Facebooker or they want the bullies to learn the lesson? According to newspaper article, the victim's mother did complained to the school authority for 5 times before the video incident but no action was taken, what worse was the principal suggest her to change school rather than taking firm action to the bullies. That is why the bullies were so daring in the video.

p/s: this is just my little opinion regarding the case. I don't want to end up cursing a young girl for something before investigate the case throughly. Even in court, everyone charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty. We should not jump to conclusion so fast.

When case like this happen who should be responsible?? According to the newspaper, the girl has been bullied since school reopen. It has been 4 months already. And yet no teacher notice or they just turn a deaf ear? Look like the school itself had a problem handling bully cases. I am glad that finally the victim stand up for herself and speak the truth.

Just because I don't share the same thought with you, doesn't mean that you are right and I am wrong. There is a big grey area.
And if you are trying to curse me at the comments, I will be a joke if I approve it, and show it to public.

Favorite comment.

I personally am appalled with the reactions of the majority of the netizens by leaving such harsh comments and profanities on her blog. I mean, she might be guilty of bullying, but by scolding profanities just means they're of the same mentality as her. Majority of the people that left a comment on a blog are females, mind you.

However, I have to disagree with your view on this issue. I respect your skepticism and not falling into the 'anchoring' trap but I am of the opinion that this video is real. Even the authorities were informed about it and if you read the news today, the issue has been resolved between the victim and the perpetrator. I personally do not know these people in the video, and based on what I have seen on the video, I have a strong feeling that the victim might be a 'special kid', if you know what I mean. I might be wrong, but that was what I think made her unable to defend herself and allowed these bunch of girls to commit the despicable acts on her.

This is exactly what I had in mind write the post. Those that leave such harsh comments and profanities on her blog just means they're of the same mentality as her, the bully. And yes, turn out that the video is real, its not fake. I was wrong on that. Really sorry. But by pointing out the doubts in the video, I don't think I was wrong doing that. If those people can photoshop the bullies photos into monsters, what I do is just nothing.

There is a part 2 on this case.

Actions taken against the bullies.

LATEST UPDATE!: What I said was true, everyone jumped to conclusion too early. The victim told the press that the 4 girls everyone cursed around, creating pages to defame them. 意大利麵, 冬粉, 板麵, 米粉 they are innocent. The truth is those 4 girls in the video are not them. Like I said, I believe she was framed. And all those people that created propaganda over them, leave hate comments on her blog, should apologize to them too. They are the victims too, the victims of cyber bully where people just blindly believe what others said and cursed them to death.
She said it was 3 other students from the same primary school together with a guy that bullied her. (Yeah, we do see a guy in the video) The 4 girls everyone cursed were just spectators. I will say that, those 4 girls sure did something to the bullies, thats why the bullies bullied another girl and upload the video with the purpose to defame these poor little girls. So complicated!

The Truth Behind Nursery Rhymes

2011-05-05T13:10:00.000+08:00

Have we ever wonder why kids are so naughty? I guess I understand now, its not because of TV its actually nursery rhymes. Last night before I sleep all of a sudden this idea was in my mind, the weird and mischievous nursery rhymes.

I remember the first nursery rhymes I learnt was Humpty Dumpty.
And it taught me to laugh whenever if I see a fat man fall down but I wonder how come he end up on the wall?? Where is the logic?

Next will be Jack and Jill went up the hill.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up got Jack, and home did trot As fast as he could caper
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

All I remember is this clumsy little boy that can't even do his thing right, causing his sister to fall with him, and left his little sister at the hill, come back alone and hide under a brown paper. Thats why older brother always bully younger sister! This is the reason.

Then we learn how to count from one to ten. One, Two, Three, Four, Five! You remember that?

One, two, three, four, five.
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine ,ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

Yes, indeed we learn how to count to ten but this kinda bring a fish phobia to kids. And its explain why fishing is no longer a hobby because you never know when the fish might bite your little finger again. Some could start hating fish because of this. How scary!

I am not finish! How about this one.

The Three Blind Mice.

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?

We learn to be mean and cruel to animals. We throw stones at stray dogs and cats because the farmer's wife just taught us how to be cruel to animals, first blind them, then cut off their tails. OMG! How can we show this to kids? And these were the first few things we learn as kid, why blame the kids for being mischievous? Stop all the nursery rhymes.

p/s: just a random destress post. But don't you agree with what I say? Don't blame me if I am mean, I learnt that when I was very young.

Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir! - 點解阿Sir係阿Sir

Yup, this is another drama review after all I ❤ dramas but I don't create dramas.

First of all its all about the cast! Handsome guys and pretty girls. Although the title doesn't sound like its going to be a big series of the year. I don't care, I just wanna watch it.

Moses Chan, Tavia Yeung, Ron Ng, Linda Chung. ~~(Yes, I know Moses not that handsome I don't want to put his name first, I wanted to put Ron Ng name first but Moses is the main character la, what to do)~~

Drama synopsis.

Despite the fact that he comes from a long line of disciplined workers, Law Yiu-wah (Moses Chan) is a teacher of a notorious school. One day, he was urged to resign after being vilified by his students as a peeping Tom. At present, the triads have expanded their drug network at local schools. Wah, who has turned a cop, is told to go undercover at the school where he used to teach. At school, he is impressed by the enthusiasm of a new teacher Ho Miu-suet (Tavia Yeung). He also comes to realize he was too strict with his students in the past. With a determination to boost students’ confidence, Suet invites bowling expert Koo Ka-lam (Linda Chung) to teach bowling at the school. When Wah learns about her triad background, he decides to go after her hoping to learn more about the triads. Wah also finds himself in a contest of wits with Inspector Ching Man-lik (Ron Ng), who has been assigned to work as a liaison officer at the school. On one hand, Man is attracted to Suet but on the other, she only loves Wah. All of a sudden, Wah, Suet, Lam and Lik find themselves involved in a complicated love polygon.

I just dunno why Tavia in this poster remind me of her role in Dicey Business years back. Look like not only she has the same crying she has the same smile too. (Tavia, why you no improve one? I like you very much one ar. )

I watched up to episode 9 now. If it wasn't for the cast I think I won't watch for some personal reason because I dislike dramas based in school. There must a whole gang of students bullying others, and here come this super charming kind hearted new teacher to the school and the students regrets and turn a new leaf. Happy ending. Lame.

Firstly, Moses look much younger in this series but he serious need to find a hair style that suit him, why la he always look like a pek one? okay, not very interested with him not going to elaborate more. Its not that I don't like him just that I flavor Ron over him. Tavia new hair cut is very 'yeng' but didn't fit in her role as a kind hearted teacher but still overall okay. Didn't impress me much with her acting skill and I started to feel bored with her crying scenes which appear having the same crying; from 'The Mysteries of Love' to 'The Rippling Blossom' her crying look so alike, not much improvement. I like Tavia but seriously she need to work on her crying. Ron Ng is okay, the character suit him so much but I wish he has more scenes, showing his humorous side rather that the playboyish, smart and fit detective. I demand more of him in the series. And about Linda Chung. I was kinda thrilled that she finally lost her irritating girly voice. And I like her role as a cool bowling coach. She look hawt!
Yet the series has been focusing too much in the school on how Moses and Tavia handle the naughty students. Ron and Linda appear much lesser than I thought. Its only one third in the series hopefully it won't disappoint me.

Did TVB went too far to challenge the censorship? Scene like this is in the series.

Seriously she did take that robe off but she didn't go nude on screen. But I thought this series target viewers were teenagers like this can show kah?

The theme song by Moses Chan and Ron Ng, Spring Wind and Rain (春風化雨) is nice, you just need to watch the MV at the ending of each episode. Ron is so yeng.

p/s: If you want the download links for each episode or the theme song download, drop a comment or mail me.

Kim Yu-Na

2011-05-03T14:20:00.001+08:00

My most favorite female athlete. I am not sure if you know her. But there is one word she reflects 'angel'.

Not only Korea have tons of pretty boys band and sexy girls group that are all talented in singing and dancing there is one Korean celebrity I admire the most the figure skater Kim Yu-Na.

If you dunno who she is, she is the world first female ice skater to surpass the 200-point mark under the ISU judging system. You don't have to know all that to see her skating. I know basically nothing about ice skating but I was amazed when I first watch her video years ago.

She is so young, talented and successful. I rarely admire someone younger than me that much and she is the first. And recently she hits the headlines again. Check out this Kim not perfect, but still the BEST.

Have a look at her video.

Yea, this is the video of her performing at 2011 ISU World Figure Skating Championships.

I like that headline that says she is not perfect but she is the best! That is one big thing she proved.
After all no one is perfect. You can see her face full with emotions, tears. I dunno why but every single time I watch her video I cried. Okay, I admit, I cried way to easily.

She is also well known for her charitable heart, the 'charity angel'. She donated over 1.7millions over her career. She is one of the top ten world riches female athlete, the only one from her field, others being dominated by tennis and golf. A kind heart obviously makes her the angel. Well that is very impressive for a 20 years old girl.

Well, I read her Wikipedia page, about her skating technique where I got no knowledge about it at all, about the triple-triple combination and stuff. But that is not important, she can simply amaze you with her ice skating. Who can resist this kind of beautiful sport?

Well, she might fall once in awhile,

But she get up right after and continue shining

Which earn her the title of Olympic Champion

Her sweet smiles, graceful moments, kind heart, sparkling personality build her shines to inspired everyone. That never dying spirit that kept her working on her dream.

And her signature spin!

Speed, velocity, momentum and stuff could be physics but it can also be a wonderful ice skating performance.

To the queen of figure skating.

Queen on Ice

Wasn't that breathtaking?

~~It inspired me to force my children to learn ice skating in the future.~~
Do you like her too now?
I run out of word to praise, she has just stolen my heart away.
Wish she can have some breakthrough in her career. She achieved so much at such young age, but there are more waiting ahead. Can't wait to see her winning more title.

How to make instant noodles supialicious

2011-04-29T19:24:00.000+08:00

Like always instant noodles has been my best study companion, since poverty hits me.
But eating instant noodles for dinner sound so miserable. Until we all found the imported instant noodles. Those from Hong Kong and those from Korea. I am amazed, how those noodles can stay so springy and won't turn soft and flabby unlike those we used to eat when we are real young but the price of the imported instant noodles is two to three times more expensive than the local one.

So, I'm going to cook this today.

Not the common Shin we all know, but this one is not that bad compared to Shin.

So lets the noodles begin.

If you wonder why I put in a bowl rather than cook it in a pot. Because
1. I don't have a pot
2. I am lazy
3. I got a much easier way to cook

Although you need to have a steamer to cook my way, but with a steamer its still fine. Just pour 100C boiling hot water into the bowl, cover it and wait approximately 5 minutes, you can wait longer.
If you got a steamer, pour hot water in the bowl not necessary boiling hot, but hot. Then put the bowl in the steamer and steam for a while.

While waiting. Prepare some side dishes.

Okay, maybe you dunno what is this. This is a Taiwan delicacy, spicy dried bean curb. One of my favorite Taiwan delicacy. Cut it into thin slices like this

Also my favorite mushroom.

I forget what type of mushroom is this and I favorite all mushroom. Look so cute right? I'm gonna eat you.

Not enough with that, I got a tomato too. Sliced.

That is one whole tomato but not going to put all of it in the bowl.

Also put an egg in the steamer and let it cook.
When you prepared all the side dishes, arrange it nicely in the bowl and put it in the steamer for another 2 minutes. Peel the egg and put it in the bowl too.

Yeah, its supialicious, it might be cheap (yes, since I brought that going-to-be-expired instant noodles at 70% discount). With a steamer it makes my life easier, less mess, less washing.
So, my instant noodles sure can fight with those 'cha can teng' right? Its even much tastier.
Just add a few touch to normal dry instant noodles a supialicious one.

Signing off as your chef today! Enjoy your meal!

50cents per mail @1Malaysia Email? WTF!!

2011-04-27T07:20:00.002+08:00

Many people already voiced out their opinion regarding this 1Malaysia Email, and mostly disagree to spend RM50millions for the email account. And later our kind-to-the-heart Prime Minister tweeted this

And so now no public money is involve, so the money all come from Tricubes Berhad?

My question is, which company is so stupid to spend RM50millions to create a free email service? If free email service they got money earn one meh? Oh well, I don't do business I don't know.

But yesterday we were shocked from yet another news. The Tricubes Berhad confirmed that government agencies will be charged about the private company 50cents per email to send to Malaysia but stressed that the users of the email will not be charged.

So what does these mean?

Government agencies? So they charge our government 50cents per mail?

Okay, I am not good at politics neither business. But logically this is what I see from the above situation.

So, the Tricubes company spend RM50millions for this service, and they will earn back the cost just by 20 emails send to the rakyat? This is superb money earning tactic even Donald Trump will wish to have some share.

Will you? Spend 50cents just to send a email?

I kiapsap I won't

For extra security purpose? So, if I don't pay 50cents per email means my account will be hack, and it will start sending viruses to other accounts until we all agree to pay 50cents per email?

If we need to pay 50cents per email, why do we still call this a free email service?

Opps wait, they didn't mention free email service right? They mentioned free sign up for all Malaysian right?

See, thats the way politicians speak, they speak to make us misinterpreter what they actually wanted to say, make us confuse, they highlight the-part-that-will-make-you-feel-you-win but actually they win, yea, they forever will win.

And so to help our government save money, we no need apply the 1Malaysia email. Just stick with Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail or any others you can name.

Why save money? because if no one join them doing the nonsense.

RM0.50x0=RM0.00

We help them save our money!

Disclaimer: This post is solely based on my great mind thoughts, if you feel offended please forgive me, as I am totally stressed up and talked nonsense but I enjoyed my nonsense to destress. tqvm.

The Curious Case of Supia Chao

2011-04-25T15:17:00.001+08:00

Facebook! Its not only a place you waste all your precious time but its also now a place full with scams, spams, and virus. And believe it anot, it happened last night. And I talked to 'myself' at Facebook chat. First, I thought it was some coding error that I can ended up seeing the chatbox with my name pop up, Out of curiosity, I tried chat with myself. Thinking that I am only spamming my own chatbox with my message.

I thought nothing funny until someone replied me. 'hehe'

Well, I was shock, I was scared, I dunno what happening. But I can't let the 'another me' to know that I am scared.
Then I went out to mamak with Lemon, I bring my laptop along wanted to blog but both of us end up chatting with the 'fake Supia Chao' thats was one funny encounter.

Upon reaching the mamak, I log in my Facebook and see this.

EMOTICONS! Its getting creepy. I dunno whats wrong. Did someone hack into my facebook account, pretend to be me and chat with me? Obviously, its confusing, I forget which is her line and which is my line. And both side declared to be the real Supia Chao. For a moment, I question myself, and I the real Supia Chao? or some creepier imagination "Am I dead? now my body talking to my soul? I still dunno that I am dead?"
And its continue.

To differentiate me and the fake Supia Chao, I decided to bold my message. So I started to write some lousy Chinese to test if that person know Chinese. Oh, well look like the another 'Supia Chao' really knows me.

OMFG!! She question me back! I asked her to prove that she is the real Supia Chao, now she ask me to prove that I am the real Supia Chao. I got personality dilemma now. I dunno who I am anymore. I am well, very very confused. And she continue trying to stalk on me, while I dunno what I am doing, I was actually nervous.

If the same thing din happen to you, you might think its really fun and funny but when you are at that moment chatting with another person who claimed to be you. Its not a very good feeling after all.

The chatbox is so small right? Show you the conversation over the message thingy.

And so this is the end of the fake Supia Chao, she didn't reply my message after that. I then changed my password for security purpose.
Well, I think that my account was hacked, and its lucky that that person did not else except chatting with me. And luckily I was with Lemon that time, if not I might have suspect myself having mental problem. Like in some HK drama, you talk to yourself in the mirror, there are 2 different personality but only 1 person.
Oh exam, can you please stop making everyone so stressed up about you?

I dunno how this happen. On normal occasion in facebook you can't find your own name in the online list so how did that fake Supia Chao manage to chat with me? Curious?
I don't have the answer for you, so just let it be a mystery forever.

A Great Way To Say I ❤ U

2011-04-22T18:09:00.003+08:00

Study week, I am not sure why but study really really drag up all my internet speed. Internet is crawling real slow , slower than anything you can imagine. I purposely wake up early at about 6am to hoping really hard for a faster internet for my download but as despite so early the internet didn't show any improvement. I almost wanted to throw my laptop away. But that is such an unhealthy way to start a day with. So I thought of doing something really really special.

Well, this is my master piece!

Cute wasn't it?

I experimented with a few other background, it was really really fun. And not really time consuming unlike what you expect.

And this is serious my lips. Muacks.

IM SO CUTE!!

But since the internet didn't get any better, I decided to try something more extreme.
Like this!

This is such a great master piece. And its just make my mood so much better. And I like to max. WooHoo~~~

And what makes a great day better is sharing the tutorial with all my readers. You can surprise your love ones. And its really very very easy. I din't use complicated photoshop for this. Its just simple Power Point. And the whole process is less than 1 hour.

1. Estimate the number of picture you want to take. I used 8x8=64 pictures in total.

Then draw a heart with insert shape, dun fill it but use thickest weight for the line so that you can see the heart clearly, like this.

2. Take photo using your webcam. This one is a bit tricky. You need a good placing memory, with some imagination to get your hand placing. Well, of course you don't expect 1 take for all photo some you need a few more shoot. But you will get better at it. Not so hard after all, I manage to to that in about 45 minutes. Thats capturing 64 photos, means less than 1 minutes per photo. If you want to make it easier you can use a same photo for those that not in the grid.

So this is the final product, after I decided to add an I and an U at the bottom to make it

I ❤ U

And add some extra creativity to the L.O.V.E in the middle of the heart. How lovely.

Its a special way to say the magic world I ❤ U using the photos of myself.

Actually this was inspired by a similar photo I saw quite some time ago, but that one is photoshopped mine is original with an easy guide tutorial. So you too can surprise your loves one with this. That will surely lead to diabetics in the lover's heart.

Supia is super lovely and cute today. ^_______^

The Derek Redmond determination!

2011-04-21T05:05:00.001+08:00

There is this one video, I favorite on Youtube, every time when life gives me a lemon I watch it. I watched that video over and over again for 1243434times already yet every single time I watch it, I cried.
Cried not because it was a sad video, its because the video, a 3 minutes video had so much in it. So much of it, that myself can't even be compared to 1% of it.
I didn't try to make it mysterious right? My title says it all.

The 1992 Barcelona Olympic. 400m Men Final. (Okay, I was just 3 that time I dunno anything about it until I watch that video) You might forget who won the gold medal but you can't forget this man, this man that showed us his determination out win his physical pain.

Yup, I am not that type that post a video and say nothing else, thats not myself. I still like to talk a lot on how I felt about the video.

Yes, this video has been edited to really makes you cry. But the truth never lies. Normally in live broadcast Olympic, they don't even shoot those people that finish last, the don't wait till they cross the line if the are really too slow and the recap the gold medalist moment again and again. But this one, they do.

Take a look at this video too. Its the same just that this one is live broadcast that one is edited version.

Did you notice that he stand all strong limping his way to the finish until his father come to him, he broke down, shout out and cried? How his father knows how much his son wanted this and he shouted 'Go Away!' to those that tried to stop them from finishing the race? And he just stayed there hugging his son, giving him the support to finish the race.

I am just a normal ordinary girl, but it reminded me or an incident when I was 14. I got a new bicycle, and cycle to my piano lesson every week. I still don't have a handphone that time. One day, on my way back from piano lesson, I was suppose to meet up my mummy to have breakfast with her at a restaurant just like usual but something happen. I was trying to catch my falling file but ended up falling. Injured my left knee, it was bleeding a lot and I got no tissue to wipe it off or what so ever. But I didn't cry, I push the bicycle all the way to the restaurant to meet up with my mummy. Not very far about 10 minutes walk away. The moment mummy see me with a bleeding knee she asked "What happen? You fell? Your knee pain?" I can't answer anything I just cried. "Very pain ar?" I shake my head but tears still flowing down my cheek. She wiped the blood from my knee, stick a plaster on it. I wiped my tears. Later we smiled at each other and have our breakfast and I tell her what happen. Apparently, my aunt the restaurant owner then said to my mummy. 'Your daughter see you then only cry, just now all the way she din cry also.'

I guess its the same feeling, the moment Derek sees his dad coming to support him to finish the race, he cried too. Not because he fear that he disappoint his dad its because its like your hero, your angel, your guardian, your support, your strength just showed up. From his face you know that you are still like his little boy that he cuddle you to bed. (I dunno how to really describe the feeling, word don't speak everything)

Did I drag too far away from the title? Oh, whatever.

In that video most people will focus on the determination of Derek but there is one more thing we should see in the video. Is the love of a father to his son. (OMG, I so should post this during Father's Day) No one understands you more than your parents, no one else can be there encouraging you more than your parents, no one else but your parents you can throw tantrum and they just let you, no one else can protect you from harm more than your parent, no one else can forgive you better than your parents and no one can love you more than them.

And really if you are about to give up, watch that video again. Think about your parents, how hard they work for you and then you will know you should not give up. Even though you might end up being the last one, don't give up. I you don't give up, you can't fail.

Yes, I am from Ipoh, Ipoh the city not the state

2011-04-20T15:42:00.001+08:00

Perak is the state and Ipoh is the city, the state capital.
Extra information Kuala Kangsar is the Royal town of Perak.

I dunno whether some people failed their Geography but pretend to know everything, I also got a conversation like this frequently.

Mr. I-know-everything: Hi Supia, where are you from ar?
Me the only Supia: Ipoh.
Mr. I-know-everything: Which part of Ipoh?
Me the only Supia: (wow, he know so much about it ar?) Err, Jelapang.
Mr. I-know-everything: Jelapang is around where ar?
Me the only Supia: Silibin you know where ar?
Mr. I-know-everything: Hmm. Is there anywhere near _______ (insert a place, Chemor, Kampar, Batu Gajah, Lumut, etc...)?
Me the only Supia: (Damn it, I feel like I want to slap this guy) Quite far actually.

I bet many Ipohan been in situation like that before.
Actually I really want to shout at that person Ipoh is a city. Chemor, Kampar, Batu Gajah dan sebagainya is not part of Ipoh. Its small town near Ipoh not to be categorize as part of Ipoh. If you dunno anything about Geography just shut up and say yes no need to make a fool out of yourself.

Ipoh is not a very big city, just a small one with a few taman, only 2 major shopping mall, lots of parks and 1 famous turf club not forgotten tons of delicious food.

So Ipoh is actually this small

Yea, you din see Chemor, Kampar and etc etc in the picture right? Of course la, they are not part of Ipoh, please respect them as a town themselves. They all got their specialties and deserve to stand on their own, and please don't take them as some place in Ipoh. They are famous town near Ipoh.

And again remember Ipoh is a state in Perak while Chemor, Kampar etc etc are just town near Ipoh. Its not like Ipoh is the state and Chemor, Kampar dan kawan-kawan are cities in it.
Don't make this mistake again.

Perak is a wonderful state to visit with lots of interesting places and delicious food too.
Thats all for today Geography lesson class.
Signing off as your teacher of the post, Ms Supia the Super Teacher.

I don't want to be that cute innocent young girl anymore

2011-04-19T03:19:00.002+08:00

There is time in life, we demand for changes, and changes for good of course.

Something happened last 2 weeks. Which obviously changed some parts of me. And because that the thing that happen is serious and involved with some very high ranked person. I shall not mention it here but I guess there are a numbers of people that know about it already.

I am still in a dilemma and still unsure on how to react over this matter. No one can really help, as no one really encounter something like this before. And what makes me think I will be a victim of it its because
I give him this cute innocent face all the time and I am not protective enough also I think too kind of everyone around me.

Obviously, there are small small signals that show that he is interested with me, just that I oversee it and treat it as nothing more than a friendly person. Was that too kind of me?

Sometimes I question, is being kind to everyone a good thing in me? Or it give opportunity for others to see it as a weak link and a place to take advantages? Of course I do realised that there are a lots friends for benefits only around me. Those who will only find me when they had a problem and when I asked for help they disappeared and the next time they contact me if when they need help again. Its repeat and repeat and repeat, I know whats happening yet I never say no. And when I say no that is when I will be labelled as 'selfish'. But the question is how to not be so kind?

I'm thinking, would I rather be the innocent kind girl that people can take advantages from and don't mind about it or I become just a selfish person just like any other human beings around me? But not everyone around me is selfish, I know some very kind person too, but those people are kind to me just because I am kind to them.

It could be the gene in me. What makes me miss home so much is at home everyone around is kind and helpful for real. Its warm. Being brought up in such family taught me to be kind. But the reality is the whole world is not like that, its selfish and mean.
Lucky me that recently my cousin and I always contact each other and meet up together with a secondary school friend. It give me the home feeling seeing people my type with me. Those that will ask you 'Is everything okay there?' 'Tell me if you need help' and those that will be by my side when I need help and someone to talk to.

Or this is a grow up time for me. Just like any other innocent kids in the world. One day you will realise that, the world is not as wonderful as how-mummy-describe-it. And you start adjusting yourself to fit in the world. Never in my life, I'd been told that being too kind is not good until now.

And back to the dilemma business - which I was sexually harassed and that person keep buzzing me everyday. Erm, the buzzing get lesser now. And I have decided to give him another chance and not report him for now but I keep the right to report if anything similar happen again. And I will try to avoid seeing him again. -file closed-

Now that you are gone.

2011-04-14T03:32:00.000+08:00

I was following Nana Eddy blog about her friend with Germ Cell Tumor.
And the sad news its he didn't survive the battle.

Its always much easier for us to say the comfort words when things like this happen. Overcoming it, is well a much more difficult thing to do. Accepting the fact that he will no longer be by your side to share your future with you is indeed very hard.

As how much pain felt, I didn't want the same to happen to her, but we are not the one who can control fate, all we can do is accept whatever it is.

Remember my post on 'Of Life and Death'?
Be it our family or friends. No one can be prepared for things like this to happen, even if the doctor told us to be ready to face to worst. But hey, who can be ready for such thing? If there is still a glimpse of hope with us, and we are more willing to lay all our hopes hoping for miracle to happen than thinking of the worst that could have be reality.

Emotions and feelings. Things science can never answer.
Tears : 1% water, 99% feelings.

Despite we said live must go on, we still cried when we think about that person.
Despite we said he will not wants to see us crying for him, when there is no one around, we still cried.
Despite we said God loves him more than us, we are still not satisfied that he cannot be with us longer.
Despite we said time will cure everything, we know that it takes forever.
Despite what comfort words others said, its goes in, stayed for 3 seconds then next moment tears - no longer in our control.

Okay, I am not going to make everyone cry.
How about a story?

The most important body part.

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body? Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer.

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."

She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer.

So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."

She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."

Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child."

Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa.

She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"

I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me.

She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson."

She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears.

She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."

I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"

She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one.
It is sympathetic to the pain of others.

--Author Unknown--

If we freeze the time a think for a moment.
Think about the supports others gave us during that hard time.
Its true when people said, 'when you think life sucks, count your blessing.'
We learn something from everything.
Maybe now that you are gone, I'd learnt to appreciate every single person around me more.

Sometimes, when we are really very down and we had heard enough all the comfort words from everyone.
We just need that one person that come to us, pat our back, give us a hug, and let us cry out on their shoulder and say nothing. That is when action speak everything.
Let us know that, we are not alone. And that is really very important.

Nana Eddy. A virtual hug from me! Stay strong.

Relic of an Emissary 洪武三十二

Does writing about a drama series makes me look like I run out of ideas to blog? Arh, whatever.

If you are a TVB fans, you will know that this series is a continuation of The Academy series. Yea, the one that got so much attention in 2009, the one with Laughing Gor dead and come back alive during the finale.
They are basically using the same cast, yea, basically, which means not all, and I don't really like when I don't see Ron Ng and Michael Kiu in this one.

They got this very interesting story line, fall between history and should I say creativity?
~~I just dunno why I got the urge to blog about this after watching the first episode, last week. (yes, I procrastinate a lot, tq)~~
First, the opening theme song is really very suitable and I never know Joe Ma can sing that well.
Yeah, he is singing Country (江山) for the opening theme while Michael Tse and Kate Tsui singing I'll Wait For You (我等你) for the closing theme.

But very sorry, I'm not posting the plot overview, you can check the wiki page for that here.

I really like The Academy series, especially E.U. but still don't really like the idea that they are bringing it to an ancient series, feeling not so right. I rather they make this one completely on its own.

But then I am not sure if its only me or the actors are wearing colour contact lenses in that drama.

Contact lenses right?? I remember he don't have brown eyes.

So far till episode 5 I am still very satisfied with this drama. Interesting.
And thanks to AsianUniverse.net for making all my download possible and really fast upload!

p/s: I notice a number of visitors reach via keyword search, if you are look for the theme song download or episode download. drop a comment or email me.

My 1st Clinique

2011-04-12T04:05:00.000+08:00

Clinique always give me this impression: expensive skin care product for sensitive skin. And seriously I got this mindset that expensive skin care products are overrated.
Yeah, you can hate me for this, but that is what I think.
Yes, hate me again for I think that RM40.90 Hada Labo moisturizing lotion is expensive.
And triple dang for I don't own any skin care product above RM50 a bottle.

~~And as for Clinique my thoughts are still not as famous as SKII.~~

I didn't plan for the workshop just I was on my daily routine for piano practice and passed by the hall. So, being very free I just walk in and listen for a while.
And the best part of it is lots of freebies.

Not only that. Loving the lip gloss. I got 2 but gave 1 away.

And also some product samples.

And the sample is really cute.

Come in tablets, how cute.

And seriously, all products sound like miracle when it was spoken out from the mouth of the salesperson.
And fellow girls with soft ears, ask for samples or at least buy the trial packs first before investing on the whole range.
And to be honest I'm not really good at resisting myself from buying its just that I didn't bring enough cash on the first day.
And of course, there must be 1 product that impressed me during the workshop, if not I won't be here blogging about it.

The clarifying lotion a.k.a their miracle water or step 2 in the 3 steps system or you will want to call it toner. Whatever you call it, it has 1 function that normal toner don't ---> exfoliate
and exfoliate is important as dead skin is blocking your skin from absorbing the nutrient from the moisturizer; and the prove

I think the photo can't show clearly. Its actually an experiment by sticking a round selefon tape at the back of your hand and stick it on the black dot and you can see the black dot turn a bit dull due to the dead skin. Mine is not that clear but you should have get what I mean.
Salute to those salesperson that manage to make the products sound so perfect.
And the exfoliating clarifying lotion is the miracle water, to clean away the dead skin so that the moisturizer can be absorb fully.

You really need to try before judging the product.
And so I did.
And I feel like changing my mind after I try the sample.

1. The cleanser, I feel nothing special about it compare to the one RM19.90 Etude House Cleansing Foam I use. Not really impressive, both clean. Why opt for the expensive one while the current is good enough?

2. The toner, the exfoliating is real, just look at this.

Its look extra grey not because I got very thick skin, its just that the sample tablet is too much, I still got excess toner after applying on my face thus I wipe my neck, arm and knee as well.
And I think its the alcohol, the cooling effect is too much in my opinion. And the coolness stayed for about 2-3 minutes which I think too much. And makes me feel like my skin is getting thinner, but I still like the exfoliating function. And the salesperson said when my skin get used to it, then its okay dy.

3. The Moisturizer, the pack I got is for dry skin and its oil based moisturizer, and its seriously too oily. I feel like my face is sticky after apply and not very comfortable with it; although the sticky feeling only lasted less than 5 minutes on my face but I still don't really recommend it.

4. The Moisture Surge, sorry if this is an expensive freebie you gave me.

I don't understand why the filling is pink in colour, hard to connect pink colour with moisture.
Its a hydrating solution, but I thought hydrating should be water base this one is still a bit oily-sticky but its good for dry skin. Maybe I should wait until winter when I skin gets really dry and apply this, perhaps then I will think that this is a miracle. Till then I still perfer Hada Labo.

I really wanted to buy the clarifying lotion, I went there again on the 2nd day and they told me the 200ml size which cost RM83 sold out! Damn it. I really wanted that, maybe just because of the exfoliating function. But soon might but the 400ml size, RM125. Save a lot. Sure got chance to buy one, wait lorh.

Despite not 100% satisfied with the freebies, I brought my 1st Clinique since the clarifying lotion I wanted was out of stock. ~~Screw me, should have save the money for the 400ml.~~

Its not that I'm not fair enough, this is a solution for all those acne scars I had. And its only RM50 so, worth a try. But I still haven't try this range yet, simply because my biological clock is messed up, and I don't want to waste my RM50 if I am not going to use this consistently. So, wait till my sleeping time is back normal and I will be able to use it consistently I will review about it. Till then its still mysterious. How I wish I can say goodbye to those acne scar I had.
And these 3 bottles are really tiny.

My favorite thing has to be that small bag that come with it.

And yes, I still think that expensive skin care ranges are overrated!
Quoted form 女人我最大
'Every products work miracle if you use it consistently.'
So, why bother to buy expensive one? Use the one that suit you best, EVERYDAY!
yes, the keyword is EVERYDAY.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that Clinique is not good, its just me being honest, maybe its work wonders for others.

Confused and Complicated thanks to Procrastination!

2011-04-03T22:44:00.000+08:00

Have you ever been in the situation, when you are so confused about all those complicated things happen around you? That is the only moment I believe that being simple minded is actually a good thing. And I find it so hard to keep motivate myself to do something.

Procrastinating! NOW I declare you as my BIGGEST enemy.
And I firmly believe that procrastinating caused all my problems after all.

From, ~~okay I am not going to list everything~~, let just say - from this to that. Enough.
And I realised that being in a relationship with myself isn't a good idea after all, its only making my procrastination worse. Maybe its time to find someone to be my nanny until my exam end.
And I should have stop talking rubbish to myself.

Any procrastinators out there survived??
Problems problems problems.
When can I stop trying to help with others people's mess and start cleaning my own mess??

Facebook! Is the place where you posted your problems, and your friends like it, some commented but no one will help you to solve it. And people keep asking you to like their contest post to be part of their virtual dream.

Twitter! Is the world of your own, you talk to celebrities, and anxiously wait for their reply. You can say what you like in 140 characters and spam your own wall while others might not give a shit!

Blog! Is the kingdom you created, your readers build your nation, your commenters are your minister, and your haters are opposition and you can't be complete without it. You write your own law, and tells your own philosophy.

When youngsters nowadays decided to spend more time virtual, talking to virtual person, playing virtual games. Soon everything in reality will go virtual.

There will be no need of dictionary, Google have it all.
There will be no need of museum, Wikipedia have it all.
There will be no need of TV, Youtube have it all.
There will be no need of newspaper, Twitter have it all.
There will be no need of real life friends, Facebook have it all.

All you need is a laptop and unlimited internet connection!
You can have everything without walking!

Talking craps chase the stress away!!
Hope that reading craps chase your stress away too..

I feel much more relieved now.
Time to move on with my real world business.

A lecturer plagiarized my blog post!

2011-03-25T19:03:00.003+08:00

It has been 125 days since my last post, and its not a good thing that I'm back now with another issue. I am not a problem creator nor a complainer just that its plain coincident.

Started Supiaholic since July 2009, got to know so many nice bloggers around me its a bliss. Joined Nuffnang since 29 Dec 2009. Amazing things happen with blogger friends. From a clueless beginner to who I am now. From someone who don't even know how to print screen, to being familiar with editing. I always envy when I see other bloggers come out with a nice post with edited photos. And I can never forget my first post with self edited photos!

Lee Chong Wei VS Lin Dan

I spend whole night for that post, including the photos. I admit its not a smart move not to put watermark on my photos but I wasn't concern about that at that time. I log in my blog today and found 2 comments need to be moderated. To my surprise this happen.

I paused for a moment, I dun understand what he meant, I know myself I didn't copy anything. But why would he use the word copy and paste? I end up Google my post part by part and then I found this

I clicked and this is what I see.

Who is the No 1? Chong Wei or Lin Dan

I was like, this is so ME!!

Lets compare.

Besides that first paragraph he wrote himself, Its like totally 99% match. From the font, colour to the link. Fuh, I got nothing to say.

I print screen his post in case anything happen.

He is even dare to sign at the bottom at his post.

Sorry for the size, I did my best to print screen his post. If you compare my post and his, you can notice that he used all my pictures, copied some parts directly from my blog. Its heartbreaking when people simply plagiarized your post.

I can only say that I am just unlucky. Being MIA for 4 months and just realise about it now. Look at the date posted.

Look!! He posted it about 10 months after I post. Who is copying who now?
I can never fake a date at the url.
Just that I don't have any comments at that post doesn't mean I don't own the right for that post. Its because I lost all my comments with Intense Debate. I did mention about it Here. I used Intense Debate from March 2010 till June 2010. All the post under that period of time has 0 comment recorded because I lost all the comments not I dun have any comments. But date dun lie right??

And what worse is I found out that the person who plagiarized my post happen to be a lecturer, also a pediatrician optometrist. This is shocking. Everyday I heard my uni lecturer warn us not to plagiarize but now a lecturer himself did the same.

Seriously, you will never understand how someone feel when someone else plagiarized her writing until you faced the same thing.

And it can never be coincident. That post is totally so different in style from what he used to write. From plain white font in black background. All of a sudden this post is so colourful.

I don't know what else I can do now. I cannot afford to sue him. Plus, I was accused copied and pasted from his blog to my blog by some anonymous. I am just a poor student, I don't have the money to sue him for plagiarizing. All I can do is to post about it, let others know I did not plagiarize, he did. I got no experience handling this, and I don't know what action should I take now.

And using Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan as topic really generate many page views. Especially when they got match. That is my most popular post at my blog. That is one old post that generate page views via search everyday. And the same thing happen at his blog, his plagiarized post is his most popular post too!

I am not sure if there is any act under the Malaysia Law regarding this issue. But still I can't afford to sue him.

p/s; I tried to contact him, via the contact form at his blog, but sadly there is a problem causing me unable to sent that mail.

update1: After Jayleo comment. I searched that first paragraph in his blog. This is what I get.

Similarities everywhere, obviously copied from news. Look at the date, those news posted 1 day before him. Conclusion, I dunno if he is a good lecturer but definitely a cyber thief!

NuffnangMY insulted the word CREATIVE

2010-11-20T08:03:00.002+08:00

Before I start let learn some English.
Creative means (according oxford dictionary)
1. involving the use of skill and the imagination to produce sth new or a work of art
2. having the skill and ability to produce sth new, especially a work of art

How about Creative thinking
1. thinking about problems in a new way or thinking of new ideas

Also look at Creative writing
1. writing stories, plays and poems

Maybe Oxford alone is not enough let find Mr. Wikipedia
Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) which has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways.

So, the keyword is NEW.
And new means
1. something others don't know about it before
2. something original
3. something not copied somewhere
agree?

Put aside the Blackberry Torch post, that Tallboyz blogged about it here. Even co-founder TimothyTiah commented on that post. Nuffnang gave a pretty good explanation for this. Its totally not their fault, as they (Nuffnang) just filtered the post form hundreds to about 20 or 30 of good ones and let the client, in that case Celcom chose the winner. And Nuffnang did not chose the winner. So, I was kinda upset that time, decided to buy that explanation, forgive or forget about it. And still join other contest.

And now its about the Rapunzel post. Okay, its just 40 most creative post win 2 tickets to the premiere screening. Nothing to fuss about. But there is a catch, there are extra prizes for those who outdo themselves.

Guess what? Wii and Nina.
I did aimed for the Wii, and squeezed all the creative juice I got for my post, trying to be different, trying my best to think out of the box.
I summited my post kinda early. The contest post was out on 2nd Nov I suppose, I summited mine on 5th. Which mean I did it in about 3 days. There is no closing date but I felt its better to summit early. When i summit I was kinda confident to get some prize as other post is rather normal (to me).
Until later I read post from
NanaEddy, MsXeRoZ, also the one most memorable post from Elwyn~
Right away, I know I won't get the Wii, but still at least hoping for the Nina or worse the ticket.
I'm not sure where Nana and Nicole got the invitation anot, I asked, they haven't answer.
But to my surprise Elwyn didn't get it from Nuffnang, he got it from Churp2 instead.
And he is not as upset as I am, claiming that perhaps he showed too much skin in this post and the judges might not like it.
And another surprise is that Lemon din get the invitation as well.
Her post is different from others also in term of style, and among all she is the first one that started drawing using a computer. And others that shared the same idea got invitation? Because Nuffnang give priority to those that summit the entry late not those that summit the entry first? Idiotic, if you ask me.

I got a few replied and to my surprise a few entry that I think creative enough to get the ticket didn't get. So I gotta say its at random.

And when I first know that I didn't get the ticket, I was really emotional, believe it anot, I actually cried.

Reason:
Because never in my life I got disagreed when it come to the term of creativity.
Since primary school, I am known for my extra creativity.
I can always at least most of the time come out with something new, something different from others.
And always known as 'the creative girl'
And this is the first time my creativity was denied. And its hurt badly.

And being very angry I tweeted this

Yes, very emotional. I know.

And guess what. Nuffnang did reply my post. Very fast. Faster than I expected.

And for that one tweet. Nuffnang not only replied once to my tweet but thrice. How great was it, so it was something serious. This is what they said.

Check them out huh? And guess what I really did. Will talk about that later. And i think lts less then 5 minutes after that, they replied again.

My analyze for this replied.

1. They din read my post, say this to make me feel better.

2. They din read my post, say so because I kinda over reacted over it.

3. They read my post, and really think that my post is creative.

4. They read my post long ago, and they still remember it.

So which one? And they replied so fast.

Later they tweeted this.

Promote for Churp2 pulak dah...

Churp2 send they invites already, won't it be too late to take part.

(maybe I was over confident that I will get the ticket from Nuffnang based on creativity, I decided to let someone have the chance with Churp2)

Lets take a look at this.

The konon-kononnya terms and conditions.

and also this.

Did they make you feel like they are focusing on CREATIVITY??

Yeah, I was cheated by them too.

In their post, they some how make creativity sound to important but its that a trick??

It could be.

What if, they are expecting everyone to post creatively, and thus everyone posted creatively. No lazy post, all good post, so they can randomly choose 40 person to give them the tickets. Smart way? Please, we are not dumb. It might fool us once, but this trick don't work all the time.

Remember that NuffnangMY asked me to check out the invited post?

Come one, they are one smart company,

asif I know who got invited

asif they announced who got invited

asif they email the shortlisted list to all participant

they didn't

so how on earth I go find out invited post and read them?

Nuffnang you think you outsmart me?

Think again.

To prove you wrong, I rather work the hard way.

Warning: Don't mess with me, I can be dangerous and scary.

And so, as all participant need to post their links in the comments area to participate, I can trace all the entries at the comment section. A total of 217comments posted.

But not 217 entries received.

I counted, its only about 153 and less.

Because I counted all the comments with link posted.

Some people posted their links twice, some 2 to be exact if im not mistaken posted their blog link rather than post link. So I expect those that posted blog link will be ignored larh.

And the other 153 posts, I seriously did READ all the post.

Yes, I said READ, not see, not browse through. Except 2 Chinese post.

And I checked it they win or not by

1. check their latest post, did they post about the invitation?

2. check their twitter, did they mention about the invitation.

3. ask them directly at the cbox or comment area. (only a few replied me)

And so far I found out 10 invited post.

10 out of 40. Its 25%.

Lets start with the least impressive one among them.

this one http://applelicious-apple.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

why am I so sure that she got it, she blogged about it http://applelicious-apple.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-did-it.html

(I'm sorry that I cut Taylor Swift neck like that, I didn't mean it)

I just don't understand in what way this post is consider more creative than mine.

http://rhythmoflollytummy.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

and she blogged about getting invitation too http://rhythmoflollytummy.blogspot.com/2010/11/nuffnang-his-kindness-rapunzel-version.html (she consider to go or not to go, wtf, if cannot go then don't freaking join the contest)

Imma going to print screen as well

Beside the poster and the Wii that is just that much picture she got in her post.

http://lekatlekitgurl.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

she didn't blog about it, but commented on another blogger post that she got it.

http://pnstoberi.blogspot.com/2010/11/pasal-rapunzel.html

So what do you think? Wall-of-words consider creative? Don't even spare time to put it to paragraph is creative? Kill me if you think this is better than mine.

http://chia-yee.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

she posted her invitation also.

http://chia-yee.blogspot.com/2010/11/tangleeee.html

I remember months back, I joined a contest with full page of creative writing but din win, all the 3 winners are photoshop freaks. So I know, without good pics you won't win. And this? *I rather die a 2nd time if you think this is better than mine*

Showed 4 out them, which I think its just normal and simple post. Did not impress me. Sorry for the owner of the blogs. If you think you deserve the ticket better then me? I got nothing to say but to ask you to do check your eyes.

I know its not your fault, this is just example.

This is already 10% of the invitation. So why? I din see any reason my post was beaten by these.

http://supiaholic.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

One thing they all did I didn't is mention about Nuffnang in their post, directly or indirectly. I guess you really need to bodek Nuffnang so they will give you the ticket. Come on, they din say need to mention them also.

And you see similarities in the reason they give if they got the long golden magical hair.

At least after reading all the post I can say that in my 5 given reason for my post, you can only see the bungee jump is rather repeated or common among the entries. Other of my reason, is unique in my way.

Here are few others entry that was invited which I still think mine is better.

#1. http://miumiusays.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

#2. http://manjaixora.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

#3.http://mouginary.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

And these 3 post, posted pics grabbed from internet for their post, where is the originality?

So if these post can be consider as 40 best entries, Nuffnang must be thinking that creative is the ability to search for some special and unique pics from Internet. My 9 years old cousin can do this also. And if you really did READ, okay la, don't say read, SEE all the 153 posts, you can see there are at least 70% of the entries posted pics from the Internet. Without further editing. Just use the pics itself without crediting also. And you can see the pictures repeating.

So who owns the creativity?

the one who posted earlier or later?

or the one who owned the picture?

If they only want pictures of extreme hair cuts from the internet, tell me who can't do this? And you are telling me this is creative? And you said blog post should not be plagiarised from other source? Go eat shit!

Please Nuffnang go look up the meaning of plagiarism and judge these people again.

According to Oxford Plagiarize is to copy another person's ideas, words or work and pretend that they are your own:

they say words or work. Aren't a photo and a picture a work of others?

And if you didn't credit the owner of the photo before using it, its plagiarising as well.

And all the 3 examples I showed did not in anyhow credited the owners for the photo from Internet.
So it shall be categorised as plagiarising.

And blog post should not be plagiarised? And now plagiarised post got invitation? Eat another shit.

Come on, at least credit to Google larh, if you dunno who owned the picture.

Like this one http://pnstoberi.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

Or come out with your own picture like this one http://nasikerabubuahtanjung.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html

If you are not crediting pictures for normal post, its doesn't matter. But its a contest, and as the organizer Nuffnang should really be a better judge. If you are just going to make a fool out of us by mentioning about plagiarism but not taking any action about that? You are showing a bad bad example to fellow bloggers under you. Indirectly, encouraging everyone to plagiarise and making the future generation less creative as everyone will know search for a good picture for the contest post, no one is going to work their butt out like me.

I learnt my lesson, and if there is not action taken for this? Seriously Nuffnang your competitor gonna work you out.

Its not the blogger fault summiting entries like this, its the organiser fault letting entries like this win.

And if you got lazy judges, that are not going to read all the entry to chose the winner, and want to decide the winner randomly. Better learn some English.
Change 40 most creative post to 40 lucky bloggers. Like that you won't get the blame, we won't get sad.

It could be a marketing tactic. Most creative? Everyone want to join. More people join? The better marketing effect they got. The better the marketing effects the more money they earn. And still give out same amount out ticket. Saying creative will definitely attract ~~some naive bloggers like me to join~~ more people to join then saying 40 lucky one. You are smart Nuffnang for the tactic but we are not stupid to not to realise about it. And if we do, bye bye to you.

I loved Nuffnang, Nuffnang let me know what I can get from blogging.

But now, after this incident, its hurt.

Dear, Nuffnang, things can't hurt you if they do not have a place in your heart.

As much as you have a place in my heart, what you did hurt me.

If you are not feeling anything after this post, means I meant nothing to you. bloggers voice meant nothing to you. And there is no point we still trust you like we used to.

You can say that I'm emotional, but this is not the first contest that people are complaining about. Previous screening, everyone did complain, but complain is surely not enough, to wake Nuffnang up. Your explanation sound logic for the first time, not anymore now.

Nuffnang let me remind you again what you said to me.

Not only did you say creative. You said VERY CREATIVE POSTS!!!

And now you think that that is very creative? You should get your brain check, I suspect there is a walnut size tumor in your brain. Please, visit the doctor for your health before the situation got worse. I beg you.

This proved that Nuffnang lied about what they tweeted to me. And there is all the evidence. So, consider hired me as your blog reader or judges if your current one has too many workload or not good enough.

I wasn't paid to read all the entries, but I did, simply because I want to prove that Nuffnang is a LIAR.

Thank you for reading.

And I hope you learn something new today. Businessman are all great liar.

Nuffnang is not smart enough, because smart businessman won't let others know they are lying.

And for other participants that have the same fate like me. For the first time, I'm giving permission to post link at my comment session. If you think you got a better post than those above, deserve a ticket better than them. Lets others judge. Don't listen to Nuffnang.

#update1.
And trust me when I tell you this post got invitation.
http://aimi-az.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzels-hair.html
this one.
http://mycrap.tumblr.com/post/1471023642/if-i-had-rapunzel-hair#note-container
and this one
http://jinwei-diabolo.blogspot.com/2010/11/if-i-had-rapunzel-hair.html
din make the cut.
You be the judge. Throw aside creativity, you can the the other 2 that didn't get the invitation had hell lots of effort in theirs compare to the invited one. Screw you Nuffnang.
Life is unfair, so is Nuffnang.

#update2.
Both Nicole and Nana got the ticket, which I glad they did, so it makes me think that, they just chose the 4 winners based on creativity (hopefully) and others at random. I'm not in anyhow say that all the 40 winners does not deserved it, well some certainly come out with a good post and worth the ticket, some just don't.

Chocolates vs Roses

2010-11-11T12:39:00.000+08:00

Whenever we are thinking of what to buy for a girl, roses and chocolates will come to our mind.
But seriously I dunno why everyone will think that its a good idea to buy either roses or chocolates.

Roses will withered and then soon be forgotten.
Chocolates its either melt in the box or in your mouth and come out as feces.
But still those are 2 things girls love the most.

If you still not sure what to chose. You came to the right post today.
Show you something.

TaaDah...

Presenting my new invention!

Cool isn't it?
And everyone favorite chocolate Ferrero Roche.

Also Hershey's kisses.
One of the best gift ever!

So dreamy isn't it??

And they are all embedded in a rose, a paper rose!
You can eat the chocolate and keep the rose.
Can I say I am brilliant, combining it?
But that is not all I got..

Sorry girls, but I'm gonna make you scream today!!

WooHoo~~~
Just some origami thingy with some chocolate. Simple yet extraordinary.
You can actually DIY it, origami rose tutorial is available on YouTube. So if you are really interested and think you can conquer the craft. Go ahead, its a nice work out for your fingers.
