Wawasan 2020

I'm sure many of you have heard about Wawasan 2020. It's a Malaysian Vision introduced on the year I was born by then prime minister Mahathir bin Mohammad during the tabling of the sixth Malaysian plan. It's a dream all Malaysians unite to achieve. A dream all Malaysians regardless of race, religion or tradition feel proud of.

Since young, I used to despise this dream and questioned whether it's realistic for Malaysia to achieve such a dream. However, after browsing through facebook the other day, I finally understand the true meaning of this dream. Now I understand what our government is struggling to achieve all these years and I acknowledge that we are on target! With the help of our current government- Barisan Nasional, I don't see a reason why we wouldn't be able to achieve this dream of ours.

WAWASAN 2020

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

Let's watch this in gold class! (:

I really need a new phone!

I know I've praised nokia before but this time I really need a new phone! Not kidding! I've been using the same old phone since forever. It's a nokia 3200. Yes, a 3200! While my friends are using Iphones, Nokia 5800..I'm still stuck with a darn 3200!! Unbelievable right?

As long as my phone's usable, my parents will never buy me new ones! And usable doesn't literally mean usable. It actually means call-able and sms-able. =.="

Well, one of the major reasons I won't get a new phone any time soon is due to my parents 1960's mentality. This is what goes on within that complicated mind of theirs that no children would ever understand.

"Your phone is EVERYTHING a WONDERFUL phone is!"

1) It has a 128x128 pixel display which is a whopping 16,384 pixels! That's FIVE DIGITS! Wonderful phone. Not to mention, it has colour!! Unbelievable! "you know how privilege you are anot? People my time got black and white screen also can't stop smiling already! Got colour still wanna complain?!"

16,384 pixels! That's more than 16,383 pixels!! -.-

2) 1 megabyte of internal phone memory! That's 1000,000 bytes! One MILLION bytes!!

--__--

3) GAMES! SO FORTUNATE! G-A-M-E-S!

Not only 1 but 3 games sumore! Nature park, Virtual Me and Bounce.. =.="

4) Torch light! Now you can find things with that powerful LED of yours! Iphone also don't provide such a feature. You should be grateful for such a wonderful phone.=.=!!!

5) Can change colour!

'\=.=/'

6) Camera! Don't you think you're so lucky to own a CAMERA phone? Kid's nowadays..*shakes head*


Well, the only thing they didn't realize is that it's a 0.1 megapixel camera. That's 120 times worse than my digital camera! Amazing huh?

In fact it's so amazing a picture like this

would end up like this..

Sorry, the black portion on top would be my fingers covering the lens. =.=" How could a 0.1 megapixel camera even be considered
a c-a-m-e-r-a? I wonder.

Therefore, the only possibility of me getting a new phone will be when this phone dies. And there comes the second major problem: This phone NEVER dies!


Among the user opinions and reviews I've read that freaked me out!

"LONG LIVE NOKIA 3200. NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT EVER AFTER 6 YEARS." -NOKIA3200LOVER

"In the US AT&T (rumor has it) discontinued this phone because it lasted longer then their contracts." -pegasian

"i dropped this phone in the toilet and my sister threw it across the room...it has seen almost every country in the book...and it still works (surprisingly better than before i dropped it in the toilet)." -marwa

-"it fell like a thousand times but it would still work just fine" -rikki

And just when you think that's about it, the worst comment comes:

"had it last 2006 & the phone was dropped unto the pool 2X already but hey its still working! belive it or not...." -arina@Phils

HOW CAN THIS FREAKING PHONE SURVIVE AFTER BEING DROPPED INTO A SWIMMING POOL TWICE?!!

Well, I've gotta be honest with myself though. It's not that I hate my phone. In fact, I really appreciate it for lasting this long. It's a really good phone and all but.. I REALLY NEED A NEW PHONE!!

My friends even told me phones like these are used to throw at dogs.
Doubt it'll spoil even if I did. =.="
Somebody help me!

totally dependent

When a cup of coffee is the only means you can
continue studying for the exam the following day..

you just know you're in trouble.

PS: sorry for the lack of updates and this really short post!
Promise a proper one tmr! =\

The eat-while-you-read disease

Sorry for the lack of updates!
My finals are just next week and I CAN'T STOP EATING!! =.="

chocolates in the morning

biscuits in the afternoon

sweets at night

bread during the midnight

This is seriously killing me! The more I study, the more I'll eat! And I realized I'm not the only person in this country who's suffering from this eat-while-you-read disease. They're a whole lot of Malaysians out there suffering from these rare contagious disease too! More people study, more people eat. More people eat, more people become obese. More people become obese, more people get diabetes, heart disease etc. More people get obese, heart disease etc, MORE PEOPLE DIE! Get it?

As the saying goes, health is the most important thing in life. There's no use getting good grades, being CEO's of listed companies, winning Nobel prizes yet succumb to your own poor health right? I rather live a healthy simple lifestyle with my two kids and wife beside the hills watching sunset. :D

Therefore something must be done right now! We have to stop this disease right from it's roots to prevent it from further spreading and it seems the main only cause of this disease is exams! So Mr. Tan Sri Dato' Muhyiddin Yassin(why must your name be so darn long? mine's just..leon?), please ban exams once and for all for the sake of the rakyat ok? After all, 1 Malaysia. Rakyat diutamakan. Pencapaian didahulukan. (1 Malaysia. People first. Performance now.) Thanks in advance! (:

Right now even my equations are turning into food.

Literally. T.T

Would you..

Would you rather:

die in an accident yourself

(then eaten by giant frogs)

or

live with the guilt of killing
someone your entire life?

Answer: Neither

The problem with driving is that people often take their lives for granted. Advising someone to drive safely doesn't seem to work. At most, that someone would drive 'safely' only when you're a passenger and continue endangering his/her life whenever you're not around.

I have a friend I really care about. However, he drives really recklessly thinking it's safe. I'm afraid one day he might just..you get me right. I'm not in any way too much to say this considering the experience he has and the way he drives. What else can I do? Absolutely nothing. Should I wait for him to get hurt or die? Guess getting into an accident will be the only way he'll learn, if he survives. Guess all I can do is to write about it and hope he reads.

Yes, driving is fun. No doubt about that but many often fail to realize that this very 'fun' thing itself is also the very killing machine that destroyed so many lives permanently. You may survive but not the person behind the wheel of the other car. Families may be depending on him for their daily living.

So please.
Don't take your life for granted.
Don't ruin your life.
Don't ruin somebody else's life.

Driving for months or even years doesn't make you accident proof in any way. You'll never know, the next time you step on that deadly pedal may very well be the last time too cause..

You're just not superman.


Therefore, drive safely.
Think about your loved ones.
(why does this sound so much like a safety campaign? =.=")

Dead chargers

Though I totally support pirated stuff, I must admit though that there are times when originals are necessary. For example, the wonderful Nokla series. (Please notice the sarcasm here) For those with no idea what a Nokla is, well it's actually a Nokia imitation brand that tries desperately to cover up it's 'imitation' status by replacing the I in nokIa with an L so there you get your nokLa. What a great way to 'cover' things up right? Lol. It's more like they're trying to associate themselves to Nokia while staying legal. Yeah, the features on both the Nokia and Nokla (notice the i and l?) may be almost similar with a great difference in price but you should really consider again before buying it. You'll never know, one day it might just burst while you're answering phone calls and you'll be left without an ear for the rest of your lives. Get it? It simply ain't worth the risk! Well, if you're still so determined to buy Nokla's, go ahead. You've been warned! ;) In short, I do think most electrical items or complicated stuff should be bought without compromising on the quality. Safety first right? Right! Imagine being electrocuted by your very own extension wire. Okay I know I'm being very negative here but stuff like these DO happen, know? These just proves that not all pirated stuff are useful or even use-able. Don't get fooled by the Sirim signs cause they prove nothing at all. Malaysian standards are simply too low!

FAIL MISERABLY!!

Why am I encouraging people to buy original electrical appliances out of the blue? Simple, my darn handphone charger! =.=" I really don't understand what's wrong with the pirated chargers. Regardless of buying one after another from different places, they all never fail to urm..fail. Over the years, my chargers keep failing that I'm even expecting the current one to fail very soon which resulted in me having so many unusable chargers at home.

you can see them queuing to fail one after another.

Not only do they cause my pitiful phone to be penetrated from the back countless times, suffering in vain, they're also a pure waste of money! They should very well be arrested for sodomy charges! So the story goes like this. Knowing that my about-5-years-old phone has no resale value whatsoever, I refrain from spending money on anything related to it. I already refused to buy a new cover though it's all cracked up. However, every phone needs a charger and so does mine. Therefore I try spending the least buying a pirated one hoping that it'll spoil before the warranty ends but for I-don't-know-what reason, they tend to fail roughly a month AFTER I bought it which is when the warranty ends. I'm suspecting the manufacturers placed a mini time bomb within the casing which explodes after a month of purchase so users will have to purchase new ones continuously which generates more revenue. Smart right? NO!
Knowing that my warranty's only a month, I still stubbornly went back and asked how long was the warranty. True enough they 'forgot' the duration and told me 3 months. :D So now I am with my new charger.


Looking back at the amount of dead chargers I have, I often laugh at myself and say why didn't you just buy an original one?

Let's see how long this'll last.

Hair log

Since the day I set foot on this miserable planet, I've never ever changed my hairstyle. When we try identifying someone, their hairstyle plays an important role. Don't believe me? Let's take Britney Spears for example.

If the one on the right asks for your phone number, I'm very sure you'll decline whereas the one on the left just needs to blink her left eye and you'll be on Jupiter. C'mon lah, they're the same person! Now, you get it?

Well, of course they're some exceptional cases. If you decided to behave like Michael Jackson and complain why people don't recognize you even though you've had the same hairstyle for the past 50 years, please don't come near me.

Therefore whenever my primary school friends come together during reunions, they often say things like "you look exactly the same lah! No change no change". Well, it' my hair lah! How could I look the same 6 years ago? I'm not Edward Cullen from twilight nor am I peterpan in Neverland.

hairstyle review:

7 years old

14 years old

16 years old

There were even times when I had terrible hairstyles.
Some even uttered words like "he's making a fool out of himself." =.="

Anyhow, to the trillions of people who have been pestering me all my life to change my hairstyle, congrats! I've finally done it!

I asked the hairdresser to remove slopes from my head.
Don't believe go ask her. I even got her name, it's Genie. :D

BEFORE

AFTER

to those who wanna congratulate me, thanks I accept!
to those who's thinking "any difference meh?" @!#$%^&*

Well, at least I tried okay!

Guess I'm not that typical how's-my-hair-today or my-HAIRRRRR!!! kinda boy. While there's tons of boys out there using more gel than the water they drink their entire life, I've only used gel once or twice my entire life. I don't even know how to apply it right till this very day. lol.

See, two bottles of Gatsby given by a friend for my birthday LAST YEAR still wrapped neatly in plastic. So now you know gels are bad birthday presents. xD

Anyhow, I don't despise people using gel at all but seriously, I couldn't be bothered to do anything related to my hair. After all, it's just excess protein.

BIG DEAL!

go on go on and criticize me. I can take it. :)
