There is always you in me…could you see from the picture? This design is more than being creative. As for me it also brings out multiple meanings. For one thing I see it as an indication of the similarities among human beings. Genetically speaking, we are over 99 percents the same, irrespective of race , gender, etc. BUT why are we having so many conflicts between one another? There are arguments, fights or even wars everyday. Because we keep on locking our eyes on others’ mistakes, weaknesses and differences in various aspects. If we can find a common ground between you and me, we could see you in me..and me in you. In the long run it would certainly bring peace and harmony……(although i don’t agree that these are good at all times…lol) On the other hand, we often point fingers at others’ faults or criticize about their attitudes, behaviours and decisions. At times, we forget or are unaware that we have committed such mistakes or expressed such behaviours before. There is always you in me. Before criticizing others, why don’t we stop for a moment and recall whether we have ever acted or spoken in a similar way? If you think you haven’t, then criticize in a polite manner. If you do have, whatelse besides reevaluating yourself in the very first place? _________________________________________________________________________ Image was taken from a forwarded email. Mirror unravels the truth itself. To teach is to learn! Hmmm…to some extend it is true. When we are teaching people, we reanalyze, reorganize and recall what was learnt before. This is part of a learning process isn’t it? But sometimes, teaching something (considered by the one who teaches as) far less than challenging is useless and meaningless. At most it is barely a process of solidifying the memory about the taught subjects. For instance a teacher holding a degree who has been teaching a primary school for two decades. Do you think he or she still learns something from there? Hardly. _________________________________________________________________________ Image was taken from a forwarded email. "Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional. FATE is not about what happens to you. It is about how you response to what happens to you. The world responses to how you act. That makes you what you are today. Me at the age of six: Abc I also dunno. What are freedom?
As a UPSR student, when writing an essay about freedom:
Everyone want freedom, including me. I want to fly like the bird in the sky. They so free…
At puberty, facing PMR:
Teachers tell us not to belittle PMR because it’s a stepping-stone to get into the best class in form four, which definitely is an advantage for us to score in SPM later. Some seniors try to convince me that PMR is a piece of cake and never have to bury my head into the stacks of books. I think I’m the stupidest PMR candidate to believe in the former allegation. I think teachers won’t be wrong. So I read read read, study study study until I become somewhat neurotic, walk in the dream and jump out of bed every morning once awake. It’s a tough year… a stupid tough year. The PMR came out to be way less complicated than I think and I got good results also. I hate the fact that I take my freedom for granted. That year could and should have been a year of freedom.
Second phase of puberty—the year of SPM:
Seeing the gloomy faces of teachers and principle every single day, everyone strives so hard under great tension to secure excellent results in SPM, which according to them, is what determines our futures. With panda eyes and scarred arms being burnt accidentally by the midnight oil, we think that freedom is something we afford to own no more. Without much consideration and protest, we were divided into science and art streams students by the computers according to our PMR results. As a science student, we have to register 5 or 6 compulsory subjects, like it or not. No matter how distasteful I am of some of the subjects, I study them, befriend with them, understand them and invade them. Basically, I rape them. In order to pass with flying colours and get scholarship, I have to do so. In the long run I achieve what I dream of in SPM, but I tell myself not to study Bahasa Malaysia and Sejarah anymore. I am a free man now.
Third phase of puberty where I grow even taller and fitter–A level period:
I am able to choose what I yearn for. After scrutinizing over 20 colleges and details about varying types of courses, I make up my mind to take a-level at Inti College Malaysia. I guess that is quite a wise decision. At the college I do what I love to and study subjects that I am truly fond of. Freedom is everything.
Unlike me there are many SPM leavers out there who are not as fortunate as me. Tens of thousands of them trying to seep into Matrix world. Not that fantasy one, it’s Matriculation. By securing a place there one is already, in fact, one step in the public university. Many do not obtain an offer letter but I do, luckily. I feel so sorry that I turn it down while wasting a golden opportunity for another applicant to further his or her studies there. I have misused my freedom.
(P/S: a huge number of unsuccessful applicants have to go for form six in despair. Nevertheless, I shall say that some actually look down on matriculation, claiming that it is of low educational standard. Well, as a matter of fact, course length in matrix is only one year, which is half a year shorter than form six. Therefore the syllabus of latter form is more comprehensive and complete. Besides, as for STPM, students study for the whole 1.5 years only to face one big exam at the end while on the other hand, there are several exams held during the matrix course and coursework marks is considered as well. In spite of these differences, a student who garners 4.0 GPA in STPM is deemed equivalent to a 4.0 GPA matrix student. Unfairness is undisputable and unquestionable. To declare myself, I really mean no offense to my matrix friends because you all really study painstakingly to have a place in uni. Anyhow, there is still a long way to fight for justice in higher education system of Malaysia.)
At the age of glorious 19 after a level—fourth phase of puberty where I grow even tallerer and fitterer:
The lists of students enrollment in public universities have been announced recently. As usual, there is an uproar about applicants not obtaining what they want. Most of the Chinese are not happy that they are not given their first choice of undergraduate course and place of study. Some get second, third or even none of their choice despite high GPA. This phenomenon is not new, but repeated over and over again every single year. Large portion of them could do nothing but to succumb to their fates. Unless leaving for another country like Singapore, they have no freedom to choose.
My situation is on the total opposite. I have full freedom and right over what I lust for. I can decide what course I want and wherever I want to pursue my studies. I was very happy and very grateful about it but soon, I realize that freedom doesn’t come without a price…
For one thing I have to figure out my choice of course. Questions like: what I want to study? What am I interested in? What course is suitable for me… are plying my mind.
Before long I know that studies about brain is my utmost favourite. When I try to find out what is the related course, there are neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, neurobiology, neuropsychology, biological psychology, cognitive psychology and cognitve science. With much patience I check details of every course and understand their core modules. It’s not an easy task to differentiate them. But I have eventually made it and pick neuroscience.
Next, it’s time to choose university. There are hundreds of institutions in uk, and I end up with University of Sheffield, considering the ranking, teaching qualities, tuition fees, living costs, cost structures and many others.
The 3-year degree course would cost me approximately 350k ringgit. It seriously is a big amount of money. This is going to be a psychological burden for me and a financial burden for my parents. I guess I shall try opting for other alternatives. Owing to this reason I find information about studying in the us. They don’t accept a-level as entry requirement but only as credits transfer. This literally means I have to study one year more while a level qualification is only an ornament. No way. Later, I discover that international degree programmes have already been started in Germany years ago, indicating that the degree certificate will be recognized worldwide and I don’t have to follow the course in German. But soon I get to know that only the first academic year is taught in English. I would have to learn German locally for one year before going abroad. Learning a language that I will probably never use again after graduation…no way.
I also ponder upon Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It’s saddening than the tuition fees in those countries is similar to that of UK. Not only that, a bachelor honours degree in Australia and New Zealand takes four years, which is one year longer than that in UK. Many urge me to further my studies in Singapore instead, considering the lower tuition fees and living costs. However, neuroscience is only offered as a medicine course in NUS and not provided in Nanyang University. I don’t want to be a doctor…no way.
In the long run, I come back to one final decision—to pursue neuroscience in University of Sheffield, UK.
If you ask me whether or not this is the rightest move, I don’t know. I have been so baffled at times, torn between many options and worried about making wrong decisions.
Indeed, freedom comes with sacrifices.
Without the right to choose you just simply do what you are asked to. With freedom, you have to take full responsibility on your decisions. One wrong step leads to immense loss and you are blamed to death.
So, is freedom an agony? 马来西亚兄妹拥透视眼 蒙眼睛可以吃饭做功课 【大纪元6月8日讯】马来西亚10岁的邱吉聪和8岁的邱佩晶这对兄妹，去年参加了长11小时的“加速永记课程”后，就获得“透视”能力，闭眼睛不单可以读书、吃饭和做功课，还可以走到厨房倒水喝，倒水时更一滴都不会外溢。 据马来西亚《光明日报》报导，这两位兄妹去年参加了长11小时的“加速永记课程”后，就获得“透视”能力，闭眼睛可以读书、吃饭和做功课，还可以走到厨房倒水喝，倒水时更一滴都不会外溢。邱吉聪说，蒙眼睛读书功课比开眼睛更容易专注，背书也更快熟记。他说：“有时候在学校考试，我会偷偷把眼睛闭上，同一张数学考卷，闭眼睛做比睁开眼睛做快很多。” 孩子的母亲许素音也指，孩子懂得这种“特异功能”后，成绩有进步，她说：“孩子从课程中学习集中、放松、专注，过后就有了这种特异功能。孩子把这一套方法用在功课上，成绩也进步了很多，而且数学比赛每年都得全校第一，人也比以前愉快了。” “加速永记课程”是由马来西亚一名中学教师20年研究所得，主要训谏孩子的集中 力、注意力和信心，激发脑潜能及增强脑能量。课程负责人林子益说：“蒙眼看东西的功能是人类与生俱来的潜能，只要有特定训练，就能激发这种潜能。” _________________________________________________________________ Verdict: I borrowed books from my cousins who had attended the course before, with hope that it would work on me as well. After 10 hours of training, nothing happened. I got bruises here and there knocking the walls. I got my house flooded after pouring the water on the floor, not into the cup. I guess perhaps I’m too old for this kind of thing. From this to this???
His name is Kyle MacDonald and he traded one red paperclip for a house.
This guy started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 he traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at Canada.
His idea was to trade for something “bigger and better” every time. Among those trades, he has got a trip, a contract for an album and even a chance to star in a hollywood film regarding the story of one red paper clip.
Isn’t it amazing and so unbelievable? Such crazy idea could even work, whatelse couldn’t??! I think this story tells us never to look down on our own crazy ideas. It may lead to one day where your dream comes true. Of course, you rebute: why doesn’t every crazy idea work? It depends on who and how a person executes it. Ideally as an example, Kyle is one who has great capability in hard-selling himself and convincing others. That contributes much to what he gets today. Hence.. CRAZY IDEA + SMART ACTION = SUCCESS! isn’t it?

What would Einstein be if he were born in today’s world?Posted by: ergythoughts in Amazing People
Albert Einstein is most renowned for his Theory of Relativity and therefore has been dubbed the epithet “smartest person ever lived in human history”. But how many of us do really understand why his theory makes him so respected and prestigious. Despite not being capable of fully grasping its meaning, I would try to brag off a little bit about the principles that lie behind…lol.
Albert Einstein did not bring up Theory of Relativity actually. Before him, there were Issac Newton and Galileo ever mentioned about it. Anyhow it was Einstein who first had full comprehension about the theory. It could basically be divided into two: Special Relativity and General Relativity.
To put it in a simple way, imagine you are in a moving train going along at 50 km/h. Now you throw a ball towards the front of the train at 10km/h. If asked you will state the ball was moving away from you at 10 km/h. If an observer on the side of the tracks is asked, they will say the ball to them had a speed of 60 km./h. Both of these answers are true.
Now replace the ball with a flashlight. When you shine the light and are asked a photon’s speed, both you and the observer will say it travelled at the speed of light, NOT the speed of light plus the train’s speed. So, if light speed is a constant, then space-time must not be..and it isn’t. At the speed of light, time dilates and space shrinks relative to the direction of motion.
Un mmm un ar?

Einstein had made tremendous contribution to the basis of physics laws and advancement of the world. This actually does not attribute solely to his high intelligence* but it also depends on the right timing and other external conditions.
Had it not been Einstein being born in 19th century, he would not have such great achievements in his life afterall.
If he were born in today’s world instead, he might just be a good physicist or mathematician at most. Nothing more than that. Nowadays, all the fundamental physics laws have been figured out, leaving only those more specific areas to work on.
There will not be a second Albert Einstein from now on.
Anyhow, there are still a lot of values that we could acquire from this master. He can be an exemplary model for those who need one, but no one should ever attempt to blindly and fully emulate him to become “somebody” in 21st century.
Let us strive to be somebody one day!!!
毫不起眼的我啊 鹤立鸡群 沉默寡言得来 一语惊人
外貌平平的我啊 容光焕发 生气时候 和蔼可亲 冷漠之时 平易近人
窝囊的我啊 沮丧得来忧郁性感 懒散得来别具一格
渺小的我啊 蹣跚不乏王者风范 驼背不失大将之风
我啊 就是一个平凡人
