You know it's all worth it when

When you see with your own eyes the amount of people you've reached out to

The many lives you've touched

The number of the helpless you relieved of burden and suffering

The priceless smiles you know you've returned fleetingly to their faces

The changes and difference you're already beginning to make

The sleepless night, sweat, blood, tears and hardship don't matter anymore

All you know is that it's all worth it.

The family of When You Dare To Dream- A Musical Production In Aid of Charity (WFP) has achieved what we set out to do that is to help as many lives as our collective effort could. And I have achieved one of my dreams. I have achieved what I set out to do which is to spread awareness on world hunger and the existence of world food program.

I received this email yesterday from WFP. Click images to enlarge.

No matter what you do, don't stop dreaming. When you dare to dream, you create hope. Whenever there is hope, you'll make miracle happen.

You just have to believe.

Since her 'Can't take me home' days that was released in year 2000 Pink has gone a long way. Exploring the genre of R&B to break into the market, she then continuously experimented with other genre like the OST of Moulin Rouge!, Lady Marmalade Pink never ceased to ceased to amaze the industry with her unique voice and amazing talent.

Your time and sweat are worth it when you see that your effort reaches out and helps spread the word.

When you know you're a step closer to giving the less fortunate a hope for a brighter future, you'll stop at nothing to make sure they'll live to live it.

CARE: Defending Dignity. Fighting Poverty

noreply@blogger.com (Mira Soyza) — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:19:00 +0000

Have you heard of Care? Or should i ask do you know which are the foundations behind the helping hand and restoration of Haiti or the 2010 flood in Pakistan?

CARE was founded in 1945, after the World War II to provide aid for the survivors of the Similar to WFP, ( check out this blog entry in July 2010, World Food Program- Hope for the Hunger ) CARE is an non-profit organization aiming to fight global poverty and providing help for women. Simply because CARE believes women have the power to help, provide and care for their families with the proper equipment and sources. By helping to improve the life of every family, we are also helping to improve the whole community and save a nation from hunger.

In the midst of chaos and cries of their children, these women not only have to scurry to feed their family, they also have to deal with the revolting increment of rape cases, human trafficking and the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS and cholera. It is heart wrenching to watch children as young as 2 years old falling prey to sexual assault simply because those men were bored, frustrated, vengeful and any form of authority and infrastructure were swept away during the flood, they did it simply because they could. When tragedy strikes and people are desperate for salvation, this is when human take advantage on the less fortunate for their own gain. We are in our own way merciless predators when we let the animal in us take over.

According to the article by Jane Helpern : Rape, Violence, Twitter and Haiti in October 2010, Mother Jones’s journalist named Mac McClelland twitted on the 23rd of September 2010 while she was on her way to a Haiti hospital with a girl who was gang raped and then tongue was bitten off. Upon their arrival in the hospital, sheposted an update on the twitter explaining that the victim was reprimanded by the male doctor treating her, saying it was “her fault she got raped because she’s a slut and smokes pot."

The fourteen year old Haiti Rape Victim

As if the impact of the earthquake wasn’t devastating enough to the victim, she has to endure the stigma of being sexually violated and a loss of limb. For centuries, women have been blamed for getting rape. They are accused of encouraging, luring by dressing inappropriately, tempting men into raping them therefore it is not the fault of these men that women are sexually abused. So, it goes without saying that if a child stole a cookie, the cookie is to be blamed for tempting the child and not the child who acted on impulse? Let’s move on with the subject at hand, talking about rape can get me going for days with no mercy.

The January 12 earthquake took away the life 8 residents, 6 were killed during the earthquake while the other 2 passed of hunger and exhaustion. Several of them were desperately clinging for their life. Two of the elderly who hadn’t been conscious for days were put away at a corner so that the sorrowful sight of the departing fellow pensioners wouldn’t affect the others. They are in dire need of food and medicine to survive.

In the aftermath of the flood, many of the victims died or are dying of Cholera. According to Yveline (one of the 333 children sent to school) in an article by Staci Dixon on November 12, 2010 "Cholera should not kill so many people. The problem is that we have little sanitation infrastructure, and now with Tomas' flooding it is even worse. We have very poor land management. We cut too many trees with no plans, and did not pay attention to our natural resources. Now, it is our infrastructure that is missing. We do not have enough gutters, and we do not care enough for our environment." Up-to-date, CARE has helped educate the Haitian on proper sanitation, disease prevention (cholera) and the importance of natural resources and land management. As part of the project, 333 children were sent to school for proper education in Gonaives.

CARE has also extended their helping hand to Pakistan, where the flood has taken hundreds of lives.

Every time I look at these pictures, faces of innocent victims and children who suffered such natural atrocity without understanding why and what was happening to them makes me want to scream and pummel the ones responsible for their pain and anguish. With my bare hands I want to scoop those children into my arms and take them away or suck dry the water to end their torment. Alas, reality will always throw you back where you belong, here I am only able to spread the word and contribute to the fund as much as I could. Knowing not everybody could afford to personally run the rescue of these victims (be it time or money), CARE and many other foundations are here to rescue these victims on our behalf.

Therefore, we should support CARE and other charity foundations alike in their cause. Contribute a fraction of you lunch money to keep these victims alive and to gives these children hope for the future. To make a contribution go to CARE official website: http://www.care.org/

I plead to all of you, save these innocent lives.

POISON

noreply@blogger.com (Mira Soyza) — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 10:04:00 +0000

I dreamt of a man whom face i couldn't see yet i knew who it was. In that dream he forced a pill down my throat and then told me that it was poison and that it would kill in a matter of minutes.

He appologized to me before dissapearing into thin air. I was horrified, and as i picked myself up from the floor i knew i was still alright yet i could feel the poison seeping slowly through my body from the inside. I felt myself dying with every ticking second.

At that moment i knew my only choice was to remove the poison myself, it was the only way for me to survive.

At first i tried coughing it out but the surge of death grew stronger and i was rapidly losing control of my body. So i stuck my fingers down my throat and purged and purged till i felt myself coming to life again.

Be a Voice for the Hungry

Picture by: WFP/Jorge Gamboa

1 in every 6 people suffer of hunger and 1.02 billion people are undernourished in this rich, highly technological world we are living in. The number is so great that it is a greater threat to the human health all over the world, even more than hunger AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis put together. Natural disasters, poverty and financial and economic crisis are among the causes of hunger while the children are hauled to become the biggest victim.

Christina Arguilera a pop diva, lent her voice to WFP and is now an ambassador against hunger after the January earthquake in Haiti. In August 2009 she made a trip to Guatemala and met mothers who struggled and suffered to keep their children nourished and alive. In May 2010 Christina visited the land that was turned into rubles in an earthquake, Haiti and met up with the children.

In raising public awareness and fund for the children in Haiti, Christina Arguilera a world superstar sang on the street of Los Angeles with nothing but a mike stand and a guitar and a guitar casing opened up in front of her,inside was a sign that said "1$ for hope". Singing her hit single 'Beautiful', it was truly her most humble and sincere live performance yet and watching her do it strummed millions of emotions in me.

If you read this post, i urge everyone of you to lend a helping hand. While you sit at a coffee house or dining house, sipping on your favorite coffee and eating the best food millions on children are suffering from hunger. All it takes is a dollar to give these children hope. Lend your voice for the hungry!

Now it's your turn to give them HOPE.

Plastic Celebrities

noreply@blogger.com (Mira Soyza) — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 09:32:00 +0000

Breast Augmentation, rhinoplasty, lip augmentation, botox, butt implants, face lifts, eyebrow lifts and liposuction are the most famous plastic surgery procedures done by celebrities everywhere. Of course, breast augmentation is undeniably the best medical discovery for some women, while for some a complete nightmare. This advancement of medicine promotes the desire for perfection, women want big-full breast like Lindsay Lohan or Pamela Anderson (often forgetting how important the "junk in the trunk" is for women), juicy lips like Megan Fox, slim-cinched waist like Janice Dickinson - all these on a skinny little body. With these plastic man-carved celebrities as their role model, no wonder our perception of beauty is distorted.

Let's take a closer look at these Plastics, shall we?

Plastic #1

Lindsay Lohan

This was out cute little 14 year old Lindsay in the movie 'Get A Clue' in 2002. She claimed to be a late bloomer, only developing her breast at the age of 17. No girl, reaches puberty at the age of 14 and grow breast at the age of 17, Lindsay.

At the Premier of Treasure Planet In Hollywood, 17 November 2003, Lindsay transformed from what could possibly be an A to a C. Whoah. All that in a year.

From then on it gets fuller, possibly a full C or a small D?

Now, when Lindsay was battling Eating Disorder and her body started becoming emaciated, her body weight and size started decreasing yet her boobs stayed the same size. Suspicious, no?

Oh, and she even got herself the 'punch-out' lips too. Guess you can help it when it's the in thing.

Plastic #2

Megan Fox

Magen Fox made her debut 2001 film, Holiday in the Sun starring the Olsen Twins (with really really bad acting).

In 2004, she took on the role of Sydney Shanowski in Hope and Faith where she paraded in her bikini in one of the episodes (left). See the subtle but obvius difference between before and after a goob boobjob? Plus, smaller size implants are hard to identify in comparison to their larger counterparts. Nice work, Fox!

From then on, Fox went through a series of transformation, as you can see her brows are lifted hingher to achieve the cat eyes look. However, i don't believe the rumour of her rhynoplasty
surgery though. Her nose looks the same then and now. Her most obvious addition however, is.... yes, you guessed it right. The 'punch-out' lips. And all these beacause............

She's trying to achieve the Angelina Jolie look.

More plastic celebrities to come!

TRAVEL : Langkawi

noreply@blogger.com (Mira Soyza) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 02:30:00 +0000

Malaysia's must-go holiday Island

We began our journey to langkawi early in the morning, boarding the Malaysian Airline's subsidary company, Firefly's flight since we have a todler with us it's impossible to take the train or ferry. Well it wasn't so much of a journey, it took us only 30 minutes to get there. XD If you are more towards the adventurous type and love to travel, i would recomend taking the train and ferry otherwise, firefly charges a good rate. :)

Bye bye Penang~~~

Once landed, we rented a car for RM 80 and made our way to Pantai Chenang. We stayed at the Malibest resort for a hundred and twenty per night with two single bed in a room.

There were also treehouses, which i thought was pretty cool but if you're travelling with a toddler, i wouldn't recommend staying in the tree houses in case your little one suddenly feels like spiderman and decides to take a dive. XD

This is the resort. We choosed ours directly facing the sea. It was so relaxing to hear the sound of wave while drinking on the verrandah by sundown.

If you're on budget travelling and in a group, the room is big enough for more than 6 people to sleep in . A s long as the rest of them don't mind sleeping on the floor, it's all good!

The funny thing was, once we got in the room we stareted scrambling about looking for the keys to open the luggagge so that we could get our swimming suits and jump into the water but wait, we couldnt find any. Apparently, my genius aunty who suggested that we buy a humongest luggage and dump everybody's clothes iin there to minimize our loads forgot to bring along the keys. So we had to get a locksmith to break open the lock. Holidayturned Nightmare? Pretty much.

Meanwhile, my uncles and i went for a search of the elixir of life.

TADA!

Look at the happy faces of my uncles XD

CAPTION : "Hmmmmm...... so this is what heaven looks like...."

And it's true what they said, when it come to the duty free land of langkawi, alcohol is cheaper than water. i tried my best to zoom in to the price but sadly my camera wasn't so good. The price tag clearly said, "1.20." So, ditch your mineral water bottle and pick up a JD or a carlsberg XD

And finally, it's time to hit the water !

The reunion of TDOE

noreply@blogger.com (Mira Soyza) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:03:00 +0000

Reminiscence of a life chapter

Sitting on the barricade along Gurney Drive with the other three girls who made my form 6 experience a colorful one, i felt the weight of bliss pressing on my chest. Ringing honks and roaring engines behind us went deaf to our ears as we look out at the ceasing low tide. All we heard were the ringing of stories accumulated over the months and the roaring of each other's chortle. A reunion never fails to bring back tender memories, bittersweet reminiscence of laughter and tears.

The three beautiful girls.

But often, it is more of a recollection of all the things that you can never get back and all that is left is the engraved image in your mind and heart. I breathed in the chilly air into my lungs(albeit a little bit polluted) , trying to remember the essence of saline that had always lingered in the atmosphere. My lungs tasted it and i immediately recognize the familiarty of it yet it isnt exactly the same as i remembered it. Memories can never match up to the present and vice versa. On the surface things may look the same but i know it can never be, ever again, it's a fact of life. Just like the air.

TDOE :)

We had wonderful memories together in school, performing, music and singing were the mad passion shared by the four of us back then. Now, our jokes, laughters, and interaction resonated the same way, it was as if time stood still for us (Although between cass and i time is nonexistent). One is still as silly as ever, one is never dry of juicy stories and the other one is as crazy as ever (me) but amid all that i knew something has changed. That's us up there, TDOE. They said a picture speaks a thousand words, but does it really? Look at that, the same smile, the same bright eyes, the same warmth. A picture doesnt speak a thousand words. A picture speaks what we want it to speak.

Looking at the reflection of the waxing moon on the rising low tide.

I was the catalyst of the monsoon amidst the stagnant chilly air but i did what i had to do. There is no trace of regret at the back of my mind nor do i dread the change because i know that i did the right thing. Things can revert back to the was, only if desired.

When you know a mons0on rain is hitting, you sojourn under a shelter and the shelter is your home. I've found home.

Sex Secrets All Men Keep

noreply@blogger.com (Mira Soyza) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:29:00 +0000

MEN'S SEX SECRETS

No matter how well you know your guy (or think you do), there are some sex secrets he's never gonna share

By Carrie Sloan

When you first start dating a guy, it makes sense that he would conceal stuff he's not particularly proud of—his disorderly apartment, his hairy back, his mother's daily phone calls. But by the time you're a serious couple—maybe even living together—you probably assume you know your bedmate's every last habit, flaw, and idiosyncrasy. Don't be so sure.

According to new research published in The Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, one in 10 men are harboring a serious sexual secret. "There are two kinds of secrets guys keep," says Les Parrott, author of Crazy Good Sex. "Things they wish their wives or girlfriends would understand but are scared they won't, and things they're just plain trying to get away with."

With that in mind, we polled hundreds of men to learn what they hide at each stage in a relationship and enlisted experts to offer their insights. We discovered there's a decent chance your man is keeping at least one dirty secret. Read on to find out what, if anything, you should do about it.

When You're Dating...

What he's hiding: The number of women he's had sex with
Some men exaggerate to sound more sexually experienced; others lowball so you don't dismiss them as players. "Men know that if they confess to a large number of partners, it sends the message that they're unlikely to commit to one. That is, to you," says David Buss, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and author of The Evolution of Desire.

What you should do: Take him at his word, but protect yourself. Be vigilant about using a condom every time you have sex—at least until you've both been tested for STDs and you feel secure that you're in a committed relationship. If you do somehow discover that he's deceived you about his sexual history, get it out in the open, but give him a chance to explain. "He could have fibbed out of embarrassment, insecurity, or sincere interest in you," says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman.

What he's hiding: He looks at porn—maybe a lot
According to a study at Brigham Young University, 87 percent of men have looked at some form of porn in the past year, and one in five help themselves to X-rated fare daily. Men like to look at naked chicks—no surprise there—but what is shocking is how quickly they can become dependent on those erotic images. A powerful pleasure cocktail of endorphins and epinephrine (hormones responsible for arousal and alertness) are released while a man watches porn, Parrott says. And that feeling can become addictive.

What you should do Occasional porn isn't the problem; it only becomes a wrecking ball when it starts to intrude on your sex life together. "The two big questions are 'Is it interfering with your life and relationship?' and 'Is he using it to avoid something?'" says sex therapist Sandor Gardos, Ph.D. If he actively hides his material and makes excuses to avoid having sex, be concerned. Broach the subject when you're calm and rational. "Angry accusations never go over well," Gardos says. Another tactic: Suggest watching together. "It becomes compulsive when he feels like he has to hide it," he says. So if you're willing to share it with him, you'll take the compulsion out of the equation. Plus, experts say, viewing erotic images together can enhance your sex life.

What he's hiding: He compares you to his last girlfriend
It's true: Your guy whips out his ex ruler and measures everything about you: your looks, your bedroom abilities, how well you get along with his friends. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. "It's normal to make comparisons, and an ex is his most recent reference point," says Christopher Blazina, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Tennessee State University.

What you should do
Nothing. He'll inevitably come to the conclusion that you blow away anyone else he's ever been with, and the silent comparathon raging in his mind will cease. When you should do something: if he frequently blurts out things like "My ex always..." or "My last girlfriend never..." It's not necessarily a sign that he hasn't gotten over her, but it can still be hurtful, Blazina says. When that happens, it's fair to tell him, for example, that you don't want him bringing up the details of their trip to Mexico. Chances are, he's not even aware he's been doing it and will be happy to stop.

When You're Seriously Dating or Engaged

What he's hiding: He still masturbates—probably more than you think
Twenty percent of the guys Women's Health polled admitted to taking matters into their own hands daily; another 33 percent fessed up to self-pleasuring three times a week—usually alone, often in the shower.

What you should do It depends on how much his habit affects you. Masturbation itself is normal behavior, but if he's avoiding sex or having trouble peaking when he's with you, those could be signs it's gotten, uh, out of hand. "There are guys who will have sex with a partner once or twice a month, and masturbate 20 to 25 times," says psychologist Barry McCarthy, Ph.D., coauthor of Discovering Your Couple Sexual Style.

If you suspect that's the case, try to refocus his hands where they belong: on you. Kerner suggests sharing a hot fantasy or dirty thought with him and seeing if that will draw his attention back to the relationship. Some men are going solo more often these days to relieve their economic stress. Sound like your guy? Treat him to extra physical affection (give him a back rub, scratch his head). This will help him associate comfort and calmness with you.

What he's hiding: He's been talking to at least one past love online
Technology has made it easier than ever to reconnect with former flames. In the past four years, the number of adults with profiles on social-networking sites has quadrupled. Experts say that men may reach out to an ex as a sort of insurance policy. "People like to have backups, not necessarily to form a long-term relationship with now, but to have as a placeholder so they're not left high and dry should their existing relationship end," Buss says.

What you should do "Often these placeholders are never used, so there's no need to worry or do anything about it," Buss says. But if you're spotting signs that his new Facebook friend may be more than just a platonic e-pal—he regularly finds excuses to go online, he tries to conceal his correspondence—he may be up to no good. "Say every time you two get into an argument he immediately goes online—that's a concern," Gardos says. "And in that case, you might need to evaluate his commitment to you."

What he's hiding: He's afraid he won't be able to stay faithful for life
Affairs are on the rise. A recent analysis of data from the General Social Survey found that up to 20 percent of men under 30 have been unfaithful, a 5 percent increase since 15 years ago. To make matters worse, our culture does a lot to propagate the myth that sex starts to suffer as soon as you say "I do," Parrott says. A University of North Texas study found that married couples in movies are rarely depicted as having a good sex life. "It's a common male perspective, especially in the early years of marriage," he says.

What you should do Fact is, many couples do find that sex starts to wane after exchanging wedding vows. So your objective should be to assure him that you two will beat the odds. Spice things up by suggesting new positions and get it on in new places, from the kitchen counter to a backyard hammock.

What he's hiding: He's fantasized about a guy—and maybe acted on it
According to McCarthy's research, this is more typical than you might guess. "The fourth most common sexual fantasy among straight men is sex with another male, especially receiving oral sex from a guy," McCarthy says. But the great majority of men do not act on the fantasy.

What you should do Stay calm, and don't jump to conclusions. "The majority of males with this fantasy are not gay or bisexual," McCarthy says. "What makes a fantasy erotic is that it's different from the reality of your sexual life." Even if you do find out he's been with another man in the past, there's probably no reason to panic. "Some men have done it, either as part of a threesome or alone," Kerner says. "If it was a one-time thing, chalk it up to experimentation." However, if you find a stash of gay porn or he's constantly pushing for a three-way with another man, you need to talk to him honestly about his sexual orientation. (Sloan, 2009)

Half Man, Half Woman?

noreply@blogger.com (Mira Soyza) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:17:00 +0000

Half Man, Half Woman?

Half Male, Half Female?

No, I’m not talking about Bapok aka Ah Kua (Transvestite).

I’m talking about being females with an emotional understanding of a woman and a rational of a man.

An all female, female may not understand the way they see things.

They are like wild flowers, delicate looking but feral beyond imaginations.

Or maybe diamonds, fragile looking from the exterior but when you learn what they are made of you realize how strong they actually are.

Guys find it easy hanging out with these wildflowers because most times they see things from male’s point of view not forgetting they have the male’s taste too. So, their boyfriends should find it easy being with them, no?

Less insecurity issues, no god-forbids-long-hour-shopping problems, less nagging, less sulking, less fragile, less fake, less damsel-in-distress situations, less crying, less whining and most important, less needy, less clingy, less 24/7 texting and long hours phone calls, in other words almost total freedom except for the attached part though.

But the nature of human beings is that they tend to take things for granted.

I had a long chat with one of my guy friend yesterday, and he told me some things that triggered me to write this. So there are days when you guys do take her for granted, these are the things that go through her mind:

The Female Emotional Side: “It’s late and he’s not home yet. Having too much fun that he forgot home?”

The Male Rational Side: “He spent the whole day with me. He deserves to spend time with his friends. He’ll be home a little later than usual I guess.”

The Female Emotional Side:” It’s really late. Where could he have gone? He didn’t even call or dropped me a text to tell me where he is or just to inform me he’ll be back late.”

The Male Rational Side : “He’s obviously out of credit. He’s often like that, anyway.

The Female Emotional Side: “If he’s out of credit can’t he borrow someone’s phone for a bit just to drop me a text instead of making me worry and wait?”

The Male Rational Side: “Maybe he feels awkward doing that, must be the whole male pride thing? Or maybe he’s a bit busy?”

The Female Emotional Side: “Should I call him instead? What if something actually happened to him?”

The Male Rational Side: “Why should not bother him. Stop acting so clingy like a damn girl! Let the man have his privacy. He needs a day without me.“

Isn’t this is always the case? If not exactly then probably pretty similar, right?

So no wonder there are songs out there that speak about being a boy for example “if I were a boy” and “like a boy”. See What I mean?

Like a Boy

“Girl go ahead and be just like him
Go run the streets just like him
Go home missin' sleep like 'em, creep like 'em
Front wit' you friends, act hard when you with them like him”
“Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you I love you but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like 'Where you be at?'
'Cuz I'm out, four in the morning on the corner rolling doing my own thing”

Guys take your time to reflect if you’ve ever taken your girl for granted regardless wether they are all female or the masculine female. Owh, and try reading through the lyrics of these songs, you might just learn a thing or two.

Just think, if she does the exact same thing? How would you feel? If cant imagine how you'd feel then, think, how would you react?

SUSPECTED H1N1

I am UNDER QUARANTINE.

FUCK.

Suspected H1N1.

Here is the screwed up part though:

1. My PTPTN submission is tomorrow
2. I am as sick as a dog
3. My boyfriend is in KK
4. I am a student of UTAR. (This should actually top my list but since i'm too sick to spend too much time typing, i'll leave it there.)

Disclaimer: This post contains alot of swearing so if you are below 18 or if you are too holy for your own good please exit this post.

I am right now alone in my room and as sick as a fucking dog. If the medication i took don't work within 24 hours, i will probably be on my way to the tripple story masion reserved for me in hell soon.

My PTPTN loan submission is tomorrow but i was advised by the doctor to go back to Penang, so that i can be in the care of my family. So i called UTAR asking for their kind helping hands
towards a student who is paying close to 5OOOk very four months to their organization, to maybe arrange somethiing with the PTPTN officers so that my application can be submitted earlier. Because it is fucking impossible for me to line up and stand for hours in a throng of people in the state i'm in right now.

Here's the reply i get, " I'm sorry, we are not in control of this to arrange for early submission for you.

Okayyyyyy.....

So i called Navin and the kind soul went on his way to campus to check if my submission can be done today instead of tomorrow of if i can send a representative to submit it all the certified documents for me because i am sick, quarantined because i'm suspected to have H1N1.

They told him, NO, i have to be there. Which part of me being sick don't they FUCKING understand?

and then he asked if he could arrange a one on one session for me or atleast let me go through first tomorrow early morning so if it is H1N1 I wouldn't be risking other students.

They simply told him that they can't waste time on one student like that to have one on one session because they are busy.

Next, Navin went to DSA to ask them for help and you know what they said to him? If it's H1n1 they will not risk me coming to campus.

Are they fucking kidding me??? which part of having to submit PTPTN application doesn't ring the "important bell"to them? Fuck, and they dare say they wouldn't risk me coming to campus when they wouldn't help me in the first fucking place? What kind of fucking joke is that?

You know what? Screw it, screw them. I'm gonna marchinto the hall tomorrow and go right up to their faces and tell them that I AM A SUSPECT OF H1N1 WHO RiGHT NOW IS UNDER QUARANTINED, IF YOU WANT ME TO GET OUT OF HERE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE YOU ARE GOING TO LET ME GO THROUGH FIRST AND SIGN THIS FUCKING APPLICATION FORM FOR ME.

FUCK YOU PEOPLE.

Playboy Star/Model turned Bodybuilder?

Have you ever heard of Jodie Marsh?

She is a 31 year old, 5 feet 2 model who became famous after appearing on a british TV show, "Essex Wives".

This is Jodie Marsh.

Yup.... as you can see she is famous for her 32GG size, Implants of course.

That looks uncomfortable.... i bet i can use those as punching bag... XD

......famous also for her extremely disaterous fashion sense... Wtf is that? alien cowgirl?

AAAAAnywayyyy..... back to the actual point of this post, Jodie Marsh is known in the British tabloids as boobs without brain, gaining popularity and attention by dressing scantily, flashing her boobs at paparazis, dressing in the strangest outfit u can think of, looking for a husband in a reality TV show... bottomline is, she is known for fishing for cheap publicity using her body and ahemnn... fake assets...

Well, apart from her assets, i dont think she has a good body... until recently when i saw this...

I litterally went HOLLYSHIT!

Major, major transition! According to mirror .uk, Jodie is apparently considering to trade modelling for bodybuilding. The highly controvercial model, with a 32GG boobjob has gone from a size 12 to a size 6/8 and her previous soft body is very much toned now. she quits eating junk food, drinking and smoking.

wow right? Damn... even an all boob, no-brainer beat me to it... gotta start working out again!

Thumbs up Jodie, you really proved you've got a least half of an A cup as a brain. I applaud you for the change. :)

I read a post by Caroline recently of a Spanish Advertisement titled Maybe We All Need A Little Reminder. The message it sent across touched me so deeply and it reminded me of a similar Malaysian Advertisement by the late Yasmin Ahmad. Here is the local version of the ad which i thought was very well done.

I applaud Yasmin Ahmad for doing a great job with her own rendition of the advertisement. Maybe we all do need a little reminder. i know i did.

It reminded me of the most beautiful woman in my life...

I LOVE YOU

We are only human

To Whom It May Concern,

A self proclaim hypocrite and a chameleon? Bottomline is that, we are all human, aren't we? A being not perfect but full of kinks and flaws.. no matter how big of a liar, caniving or manipulative you claim to be or people claim you to be, everybody deserve a second chance.. but not third and fourth... being ugly means not being able to see your own kinks and flaws that is the real grotesqueness.. admiting your wrong doings mean there is a will to make a change and ammend... that takes a lot of courage and it takes a fool not to acknowledge that.. if a friend tells you it's time to change or tell you what you're doing is wrong, it means people out there care for you so there is no reason not to change..

The boy who cried wolf lied, and in the end nobody believed him when he told the truth...But what happens after that?

When people realized for once he was being honest and told the truth, they start believing in him again..

Even the boy who cried wolf was given a second chance, why not you?

The Birth of the New Freedom Writer

16th JULY The Birth of Me and This Blog

Jon carrying my surprise BIRTHDAY cake.

BIRTHday.

B.I.R.T.H. day

Everybody love being celebrated on their birthdays. Most people anticipate the arrival of their birthdays. Putting aside the fact that it was the day you were brought into the world, what does a birthday really mean to you. What do you celebrate, every year that year long awaited day visits?

Bloom.Independence.Responsible.Temperate.Humble

A birthday should be a celebration of you blooming into a better person. Independent with the experience you have gained and learning from the hardship you've gone through so far making you a responsible being. You learn to be temperate, rid of all the irrational behaviour you've taken on as a child. Growing up means learning to be humble.

IT IS NOT

Booze.Immature.Recklessness.Temperamental.Hidebound

Full stop. There is no elaboration to these words because the words are vivid enough to illustrate a person who grows up to be that being.

Have you ever been to a waterfall? If you have, you would know how strong the current is even during good weather, the water chills you to the bones and the rocks are slippery embellished with moss. I was brought by Jon to a waterfall on my birthday yesterday and needless to say, there is no other better way to celebrate your birthday than doing something as adventurous as that.

At first we were stepping from rock to rock carefully and occasionally we had to trudged through the cold water. I was warned of the rocks being slippery but as i was slowly getting used to it, his warning slipped my mind. I stepped onto a slippery surface of a rock and slipped, hitting my shin on the hard surface. Owh, the agony!

Despite that, i still went on, advancing from rock to rock with practised ease only much more careful this time.

Apart from the part where i almost drown both Jon and I, the whole trip was an amazing experience. On the return trip though, again jumping crossing from rock to rock with confidence, i slipped again and hit my knee this time. The most pathetic part is that it was the SAME DAMN ROCK! It was really painful this time but i pick myself up regardless and waited until the pain subsided a little before continuing. I kept Jon's advice at the back of my mind this time though and kept away from the mossy rocks until we were safely out of the water. When i sat down that night, I reflected back what Jon and I talked about few nights ago and related it to this incident i see a simmiliar pattern.

Everybody fall. No matter how rich, beautiful, popular, strong or influencial, they are all human. We all stumble and fall but it can not be an excuse for anyone to be that kind of being. Everybody go through shit and in the end it's the shit that teaches you, it's the shit that makes part of who you are now. By who you are I mean a stronger, if not mature and rational person through experience. If you stumble, fall, and learn nothing from that, you are most likely to stumble and fall again at the same spot.

But if you stumble, fall and pick yourself up, then take it as a lesson learned. Most likely, you will take a different path where you will stumble upon new things. It is then, you will Bloom, be Independent, be Responsible, be more Temperate and Humble.

Your Birthday should be a reBIRTH of you.

A reBIRTH that makes you a better person every growing year.

And today is the reBIRTH of Me.
