Lights on Me

I'm exhausted, I lost my voice and I'm watching the England vs. Ecuador match with an uninterested mind. Today's was a super busy day, not only for me, but the whole school. Enthusiastic parents have been buzzing around in school as early as 7 a.m. selling food and drinks that they donated for the fundraising event. The funds are for the new buildings to cater for the increasing students' population. Every teacher is entitled to a stall to sell some goods. What do I sell? Spring rolls, fish balls and sausages… all deep fried, unhealthy yet tempting to the mouth of little children. That's right, the ultimate Malaysian children's favorite, and as expected; everything was sold off in a surprisingly fast time… God, I felt proud of myself and the parents who were helping at the stall. Even though, I felt a pinch of guilt in selling unhealthy food It has been 2 weeks since I started teaching. While it’s not a new thing to me, as I have been teaching on and off for t...

2nd day into FIFA World Cup 2006, and almost everyone in the house are having football fever! Welcome to the club, Kenny! 4 matches has been watched, with currently waiting for the 5th one between Argentina & Ivory Coast in another 30 minutes. Mum & Kenny is having a nap now, hoping to gain conserve some energy to watch the game. Me? I'm too excited to sleep! It has been a good week. Situation in the house has improved tremendously. That makes me really hyper these past few days. Even experiencing the real life of a full time housewife sounds interesting. Something must be very wrong with me.... =) Just increase the DDRam of my PC (Finally!!! been suffering the ever-so-slow syndrome from my PC for almost 2 years now), bought a new printer, and in two more days, i'll be working again. So, it's really pretty exciting for me! Though it's just a temporary job, but as long as it promises some income for my future studies, i really have nothing to complain about. Ok, ...

With recent and current uproars about price hikes in eletricity, petrol and almost everything else (even my nasi lemak got up by 20 cents!), the government better do something to regain the trust and support from Malaysians. If the current trend keeps going, Pak Lah and his cabinet ministers will definitely have a tough time ahead. If the national election is in the near future, the chances of BN losing their seats in large numbers will be almost certain. What happened to today's Malaysia? With the recent blunder of Datuk Said's "close one eye" issue, people are beginning to lose their faith in the present government. Many starts questioning about the corruption phenomenon in Malaysia. How bad it is? Why do we even have ACA if they are not doing their jobs? One could only wonder how effective is Pak Lah's policy against corruption. Our newspapers have been infested by many governmental blunders and comedies. It's quite amusing to see that some of our YBs are...

It's 6 o'clock now. As usual, sitting in front of the PC, in office. Had a bad arm since yesterday, probably for lifting some heavy files few days back.. 6 more days to go and well, lots of things in my mind. A round-up of some events today: American Idol 5: as expected, Taylor Hicks is the winner. Some said he's not talented enough to deserve it, but seriously, he standouts from the start of the season. He left an impact on everyone that follows the show, and I've only seen him thrice. Perhaps, it's unexpected after the favourites were voted out.. Many felt unjusticed for Chris Doughtry, but hey, it's ur decision, ain't it? And now, the more important thing is what does Taylor Hicks got for his "Soul Patrol" (his ultimate fans)? That, we'll have to see. FIFA World Cup 2006 : Friendly matches results: Ecuador vs. Colombia: 1-1 Australia vs. Greece: 1-0 (half-time), interesting match to watch. Let's see how does Australia fare in interna...

What a boring day.. It seems that my mind is not working again. Nadia went for conference in Beijing for a week, and I have the room for myself, alone. Which is something supposedly fine by me, but apparently not. Been cracking my head whole day doing write ups but the ideas are just stuck in there, regulating between the neurons without any result. Dr M went for entrepreneurial workshop in Tanjung Keling. This means I've gotta walk to and fro for work for the next three days. Perhaps it's a good time to burn some calories.. Some breakup stories from friends again.. Starting from my own breakup, there has been a number of them facing the same fate. Hah, maybe it's contagious, just like the bird flu virus. Oh.. bout bird flu, Indonesia just recorded 2 cases of human to human transmission of birdflu. Seems like the 'little fellow' has mutated again. Evil little things.. Should be more careful nowadays. Yep, back to the breakup story. Another friend has regain her ...

(The Star, 22 May 2006) KUALA LUMPUR: Twenty-one per cent of Malaysians have mental disorders as a result of the pressures of life, and the figure is rising. According to clinical psychologist Mahadir Mohamad, based on a survey from 1995 to 2000, depression topped the list, followed by psychosis, and drug and alcohol-related mental disorders. “Based on year 2000 statistics by the Public Health Institute (Disease Burden Department), 108,324 people suffered depression. Those between the ages of 30 and 59 were most affected by this disease, and the figure is rising by the year,” he said at a forum on recognising mental health and illness organised by KL Clinical Psychology Counselling Centre here yesterday. He said anxiety was also a form of mental disorder, with 33,714 people diagnosed with it. Mahadir, who works for the Health Ministry, said 24,647 people were diagnosed with psychosis. Alcohol and drug-related mental disorders accounted for 21,441 and 27,522 people respectively. “Many a...

Yes, The Da Vinci Code. I've watched it yesterday. That 's the second movie i watched in the cinema this year. It was full house and the experience of sitting at the front row for 2 1/2 hour was scary! Nevertheless, it helped to sooth my mood lately, having the chance to get out from my house and work for a change.. Ok, truthfully speaking, the movie doesn't impressed me. I couldn't feel the excitement and the thrill of hunting for the Holy Grail and breaking codes. Tom Hanks wasn't at his best, more likely, he's a little bit lame as Robert Langdon. In the book, Robert Langdon was an expert, confident, charming and charismatic in his own way. The one in the movie? He's very self conscious, most of the time. You can even tell that he's not comfortable being himself. What a disappointment from Hanks! Was having such a high hope of him being the star in the movie! And who can believed that Sophie Neveu is the heir of Jesus and Mary Magdalene? She's not ...
