Raya @ Ridz's

Hari Raya! Continuing a tradition of Raya open houses, I went to Ridz's raya open house for the second year running. It was so good to meet up with most of the Hartamas gang in one sitting. Yes, even those who normally couldn't make it (*cough* spreet, arthur, and sham) came. So it was like a big happy family with quarreling parents, WC and CJ.

We ate, we caught up on old times, I made a couple of new friends and we launched fireworks. Fireworks were great, and it was made even better when WC, CJ and Arthur set off a car's alarm by firing the fireworks straight into the neighbour's house. 'Accidentally'.

Talk Talk.

Catching up with the Buddha

Sent Sharon home, and had a very interesting London is a City conversation in the car. xD An on night. :)

It's all Relative

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT's relativity." - Albert Einstein

I wonder which pretty girl sat next to him :)

Hari Raya!

Back after a looong while!

I miss blogging, it's been so long, and I need to revive this place. And I shall since it's holidays! Uniten's been very very normal, just the usual studying blah blah blah. Such a nerd place, thanks to the US system. Lately, I've been having many Crap moments (or in certain languages, FML moments).

Just the other day, when we were having our dinner in the apartment, there was this cat who visited us yet again. Now this cat is no ordinary cat. She looks at us straight in the eye, meows in such a manja way, and manages to come into the apartment even though we close every door. Gah. That day I was in the toilet, and the cat paid me a visit. I felt so violated. Anyway, I fed it some muruku, and it looked contented. I'm guessing that it is an Indian cat and it is attracted to Deisi. :D

Check out her eyes

Apart from this cat-in-the-toilet episode, is the bread-under-bike incident. Once was when I was cycling to get my breakfast for the next morning. I was feeling adventurous. With my prized kaya bun (yes, lousy breakfast in KL, but decent here) in the basket of the bike, I contemplated cycling over kerbs and rough terrain. I've always loved mountain biking. So I did. I rode over a particularly high kerb, and my breakfast flew out of the basket. According to the law of inertia, I couldn't stop in time. I rode over my breakfast, flattening it. And it looked like this.

Tyre marks there ><

I would elaborate on more, interestingly crap moments (like when Nat's BMW's boot wouldn't open, to my computer blowing up). But will save that for another day. I'm sleepy. Nights world!

And Selamat Hari Raya to all!

btw Ruth, you're great! haha #1 Fan la :D

Pressure

Feeling the pressure. Workload is piling up. :(

Watch this. From 15 Malaysia. Just for laughs.

KBSM vs the SAT

A mirror post from my SAT blog.

A couple of days ago, Yu Jin had us to debate about the KBSM syllabus and the SAT. Interestingly, we had a couple of advocates for the Malaysian KBSM. The rest of the class were pro-Americana. After some fiery exchanges and a great deal of yelling, the majority was firm on the stand that SAT was a better test, despite its flaws. I was one of them. However, what I did not know was that at the primary school level, the UPSR test did what the SAT is doing to us now. Can you believe it? Indirectly, the UPSR challenges critical thinking, debating on controversial issues, and also promotes an eye-catching first line where we have to 'grab it and don't let go.' (inside joke, that :P) The UPSR test is in fact an avenue for young, creative minds to express themselves without the restriction of formatting, language, and formalities.

If you're blur, confused, and asking yourself, "What on the good earth is he talking about?!", it is time to read these two great UPSR karangans. Malaysia Boleh.

Got this from a forwarded email. It may be familiar to some of you. :)

KARANGAN 1

Ceritakan peristiwa yang paling ngeri dalam hidup anda.

Pagi itu pagi minggu. Cuaca cukup sejuk sehingga mencapai takat suhu beku. Sebab itu saya tidak mandi pagi sebab air kolah jadi air batu dan air paip tidak mahu keluar sebab beku di dalam batang paip. Pagi itu saya bersarapan dengan keluarga di dalam unggun api kerana tidak tahan sejuk. Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya menemaninya ke pasar. Tetapi saya tidak mahu.

Selepas emak menikam perut saya berkali-kali dengan garfu barulah saya bersetuju untuk mengikutnya. Kami berjalan sejauh 120 kilometer kerana pasar itu letaknya 128 kilometer dari rumah. Lagi 8 kilometer nak sampai pasar saya ternampak sebuah lori kontena meluru dengan laju dari arah belakang.

Dia melanggar emak saya. Emak saya tercampak ke dalam gaung. Dia menjerit “Adoi!”. Lepas itu emak saya naik semula dan mengejar lori tersebut. Saya pun turut berlari di belakang emak saya kerana takut emak saya melanggar lori itu pula. Pemandu lori itu nampak kami mengejarnya. Dia pun memecut lebih laju iaitu sama dengan kelajuan cahaya. Kami pula terpaksa mengejar dengan lebih laju iaitu sama dengan dua kali ganda kelajuan cahaya. Emak saya dapat menerajang tayar depan lori itu. Lori itu terbabas dan melanggar pembahagi jalan lalu bertembung dengan sebuah feri. Feri itu terbelah dua.

Penumpang feri itu yang seramai 100 orang semuanya mati. Pemandu feri itu sangat marah. Dia pun bertukar menjadi Ultraman dan memfire pemandu lori. Pemandu lori menekan butang khas di dalam lori dia..lori itu bertukar menjadi robot Transformer. Mereka bergaduh di udara. Emak saya tidak puas hati. Dia! pun terus menyewa sebuah helikopter di Genting Highlands dan terus ke tempat kemalangan. Dia melanggar pemandu feri yang telah bertukar menjadi Ultraman itu.

Pemandu feri itu terkejut dan terus bertukar menjadi pemandu feri semula lalu terhempas ke jalanraya. Pemandu feri itu pecah. Pemandu lori sangat takut melihat kejadian itu. Dia meminta maaf dari emak saya. Dia menghulurkan tangan ingin bersalam. Tetapi emak saya masih marah. Dia menyendengkan helikopternya dan mengerat tangan pemandu lori itu dengan kipas helikopter. Pemandu lori itu menjerit “Adoi..!” dan jatuh ke bumi. Emak say menghantar helikopter itu ke Genting Highlands. Bila dia balik ke tempat kejadian, dia terus memukul pemandu lori itu dengan beg tangannya sambil memarahi pemandu lori itu di dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Pemandu lori itu tidak dapat menjawab sebab emak saya cakap orang putih. Lalu pemandu lori itu mati. Tidak lama kemudian kereta polis pun sampai. Dia membuat lapuran ke ibu pejabatnya tentang kemalangan ngeri itu. Semua anggota polis di pejabat polis itu terperanjat lalu mati. Orang ramai mengerumuni tempat kejadian kerana ingin mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi. Polis yang bertugas cuba menyuraikan orang ramai lalu dia menjerit menggunakan pembesar suara. Orang ramai terperanjat dan semuanya mati.

Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya ke pasar untuk mengelak lebih ramai lagi yang akan mati. Di pasar, emak saya menceritakan kejadian itu kepada penjual daging. Penjual daging dan peniaga-peniaga berhampiran yang mendengar cerita itu semuanya terkejut dan mati. Saya dan emak saya terus berlari balik ke rumah. Kerana terlalu penat sebaik saja sampai di rumah kami pun mati. Itulah kemalangan yang paling ngeri yang pernah saya lihat sebelum saya mati.
