Cause Of The Month .



Fight Cancer , Go Pink !



So im taking a break from the usual nonsense i post to actually support a good cause.As some of you might know its October which is Breast Cancer Awareness month , hence the pink ribbon.I am very much aware that its actually the last day of October and id like to say that breast cancer is a very real thing that some people are living with this may be a month to make us aware of this and to respect and support those who are living with the disease as well as those who have survived. But i think the support should not stop here but stop when a cure is actually found.Its really hard for me to relate being that im a guy and all ,but my heart goes out to all those who are fighting their fight against cancer and everyone who has a love one who is living with cancer.




Did You Know :

  • 40 000 women die from breast cancer each year


  • Chances of a woman having invasive breast cancer is 1 in 8 .though men do get the disease it is 100 times more common in women.


  • Did you know that its not a womens only disease.Men get it to


  • wait , I didnt know that ! I guess that's why its called Breast Cancer ' AWARENESS ' Month. most of us aren't really aware of most of these facts.


  • So remember dudes ! just cause you don't have boobies doesn't mean you cant get breast cancer !.And if you do have boobies .. i don't really wanna know !

  • It has been proven so many times that cancer is very much a winnable fight !


So since this is all about women and respect.Ive decided to mention the 5 women i respect the most.In random order :


Angelina Jolie


Why : Seriously ! why not ! besides her being hot and all ! She is a good will ambassador and its a smart move of hers putting her good looks to good use ! Ps : Angelina if your looking to adopt lets say a little curly haired Asian boy , I'm all yours !


Melissa Etheridge


Why : Known for being a breast cancer survivor and her post cancer Grammy performance of Janice Joplin's " piece of my heart " . Her surviving cancer shows that cancer is a winnable fight.



Kristen Bell

Why : Ok there has to be a place on the list for a person whom which i respect plainly because she's hot. Plus being young and hot in hollywood ,i highly respect that she hasn't gotten a DUI arrest and or has been to rehab !


Oprah

Why : Surprise surprise . oh if i had a penny for every time i mentioned Oprah here on my blog.So why do respect the Big O ( i say big in no reference to her little "thyroid" problem ) . Mainly because shes rich and shes powerful and at this point of her career she can actually afford to buy our respect,but she continues to earn it .


My Mom

Why : cause any woman that has to put up with all this ! aka ME and my little shenanigans on a daily basis has to be one heck of a woman.! yeah ... and this is not me trying to score extra points for a Christmas present *wink* *wink*


PS : i googled breast cancer and found out about a few sites in which you can learn more about breast cancer and how you can support the cause (Link Below) .Though pink is not really my colour it technically is still Breast Cancer Awareness month so, fight cancer , go pink !









Peace Out , Play Safe + Think Pink !

Issue :Exam Stress

"If Oprah says Its Bad , Then Its Bad !"
David Marcus

sure was one hell of a week.The big day is coming up and I'm sure as hell not looking forward to it.Im trying my best to restrain myself from watching to much TV.So its goodbye freedom.And hello buckets of caffeine..

I haven't been getting much sleep lately.Its not what you think.Im not the study all night kind of guy.I do try to go to bed early i just toss and turn for maybe about 2 hours before i actually fall asleep.all this stress is turning me into an insomniac.Maybe its because of the loads of coffee and red bull ive been consuming.And yeah all this stress has also turned me into quite the emotional eater.Oh the temptation ! thank god the exams are in 3 weeks or so cause if i continue my eating habits for any longer id have a stroke or a heart attack or something bad.

Also exam stress makes you feel guilty for the smallest things.Like just say a friend asked you out,its like hey what bad can it do right ?but your gut goes " Your Gonna Regret This !"And you turn into a total Debbie Downer ! which sucks.but that's what exams do to you.they turn even the most liveliest of people into total wet blankets..

So theres no doubt ill be "MIA" for abit.Still trying to get my head into all out exam mode.Which is im guessing not gonna happened till 2 or 3 days before the exams.So wish me luck !

PS : To all Spm Candidates . Break a leg !
Advice:

  • Caffeine is a life saver if used wisely

  • If you don't like caffeine there's always red bull

  • Emotional Eating is quite a comfort it does help,but one of my theories in life is that " If Oprah says its bad than its bad" so its bad

  • And if you've done some emotional eating and its showing in more ways than one..say you have a thyroid problem like Oprah did !
  • For the record, i believe u Oprah !

  • I Love Oprah

  • No offence to Fat people !

  • This is kind of getting out of hand

  • I Cant Stop this ! These Bulleted lists make my post look so professional as if someone was actually thinking when they were writing it!




Peace out , Play Safe !

The F Word .

F . L . U . N . K
flunk
\'flaŋk\
Etymology:
perhaps blend of flinch and funk

to fail especially in an examination or course transitive verb 1 : to give a failing grade to 2 : to get a failing grade or result in
flunk·er noun

Word Of The Week , Flunk !.So its back to school and to my dismay that also means getting my trials back.well guess it was time to face the consequences of how laid back im being considering the major exam coming up.well its hard to take it seriously with subs like Moral studies and History ( Malaysian History That Is ), i mean seriously?
So back to flunking.My results were well below average.Although i did manage to ace English , Math and EST.And i barely scraped through with my chemistry with only 50 marks.I failed/flunked/totally destroyed Both My Moral Studies and History to pieces !,and according to Spm standards i did pass my Add Maths,but according to normal schools standards I ...Fuh..fuh..FLUNKED !
Kindda makes me a down right mother-flunker dontcha think ?!
So , obviously I'm not happy with my achievements.so guess I'm gonna try to well..study this time around and hopefully up a few grades.Wish Me Luck ! & Flunk You !



Peace Out , Play Safe

Nerdy Mc Nerdson

Chronicle's Of Narnia : Prince Caspian
Release Date : May 16,2008



Being A big fan of the Chronicle's Of Narnia.And being a total Epic fantasy movie junkie . Here's A movie im really hyped up for! Narnia was something i grew up with.You know what its like when you read a book like this and you kind of picture everything in your head like how would the characters look.So i kindda like seeing how will these characters that ive grown up with be portrayed on the silver screen.
At a really young age my father kindda was really tryna figure out how he could just get us interested in reading.us being me and my other two siblings,Reuben and Nicole.So i guess he did it with introducing us to some of his favourite classic books such as Lord Of The Rings And The Chronicles Of Narnia and also more buzzed about children's books such as Harry Potter.At that time, I think out of all three siblings i was the most reluctant to read at the time.Cause at that phase of my life,i really like you know...big words which you just cant miss and pictures in my books and if you could colour in it,was a plus for me.So after basically being left out of all the conversations revolving around harry potter and narnia i gave it a try.And now i've turned into a certified harry potter junkie.well not the really extreme kind.Just that i do get all hyped up over stuff.That makes me part nerd.

Sketches pt II

"Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive.. in the past that was mixed up with other illustrative duties but that was still its central function that has been liberated in the art called modern. Art is not necessarily good for you or about communicating "good things" "
Antony Gormley

So these are a few more of my drawings.Some i thought were too provocative to be put on but lets see how it goes.I doubt this post will be up too long.Please understand that its just art and me expressing myself.Just simple sketches i did in between or during classes.
































All Out Raya Mayhem

To summarise everything , I had a really good time really appreciate the hospitality shown by the people we visited.I wanna personally thank everyone that actually welcomed the mob into their houses.

We were basically a bunch of inexperience amature freshly licenced drivers on the road pissing almost every driver on the road off.everyone was cussing at us.but hell we were having a blast in the car.I was the supposed co driver for ieqa who was one of the 5 drivers . i don't think i did any good though cause most of the time i was telling her to speed up and i got screamed at by joaquina and michelle.Joaquinas exact words were " Biar Lambat , Asalkan Selamat " translation "Were gonna piss allot of people of on the road but heck we'll be safe" jeez think she's seen one to many road safety ads on TV.

So my raya experience was equivalent to Buckets i say Bucket loads! of curry,lots of Coke,and lots of screaming in the car.Which in short is one heck of a time !


I wanna personally thank the hosts:

Ieqa
Fareez
Adam
Mia
Azurin
Muammar
Firdaus
Haris
Izati
Ekhsan
Izat


And Our Drivers (for Both days):

Aaron
Arif
Ieqa
Kok How
Jasmine

This is why you gotta love Malaysian Holidays !

Peace out , Play Safe !

Out With The Old In With The New

So my sister is back for the holidays . its funny you know the first few moments with her when she got back was So Awkward ! cause i think i was so glad that she was back i didn't really know where to start.But eventually we did catch up.I think the whole conversation starter went something like this."Nicole do you have any idea of whats happening to Britney Spears " (cause shes in boarding school basically exiled from media of any sort).Oh,how random it is to have britney as a conversation starter.But i have to admit the cracked up soon to be mug shot Hollywood blond did offer a wide range of topics to start a conversation with ,it was hilarious anyways.So being the big movie buffs we are , Nicole and i went to pick up some DVDs on the way back.Lets see we got that famous Seth rogan comedy that I've been waiting for all year to see ( cause its R rated) Knocked Up , Steven King's 1408,Gracie,and Surf's Up . So anyways getting in to topic now , so since my sister was back we decided to get a new ipod ,the new Ipod Classic and my old video ipod was to be passed down to Nicole." Sorry for the 'hand me down' Nicole!".She basically agreed to it cause she knew that my video ipod had limited space,and that i was a tv junkie and i needed and extra 130Gb's.Its not what its cut out to be anyways.the best feature's of the new ipod classic are the cover flow function,the split screen,the cool graphics,and ofcorse the huge 160GB Memory . But it does appear to be slower than the video ipod and i have to reset it allot.but im getting the hang of it now. But it was sad to see Annie Love go. oh by the way , thats the name i gave to my video ipod.Its Strange how you give really tacky names to things you treasure (no offence to anyone named Annie Love) but that was what i named my ipod as on my iTunes.Oh,and my new ipod classic is called Kelly Anne and yes it was somewhat inspired by The Real World : Sydney .
