The GUIDE

"The weaker candidates, as always, had difficulty in the essays, selecting and adapting the material they had learn to the precise requirements of the question asked. So often, a moment's reflection and a brief comment would have promoted a slab of narrative so that it became a worthwhile contribution to an argument. The best candidates are analytical; their less ambitious colleagues should at least try to lace their narratives with pertinent comment."

Take everything from the inside

Is home an elitist country? I think development is going at the right pace. I won't touch on politics but i think home has more space to improve on specific matters. The problem is that not everyone is willing to take the blame, to admit that they are imperfect, to accept criticisms and such. Lucky no people are dead from falling windows. I like the american education system better that the British system we have. I believe in learning not just obtaining grades.

We need someone who can take the heat, I think the new VC is a fighter, see how it goes. I don't think its that difficult. Just go with changes and don't be afraid to listen to criticisms as they should be treated constructively to be understood. Only when u listen can u then act with purpose. When everyone tries to be perfect than progress is made difficult. Islam propagates us to always be grateful but this should not be a reason for us to stop striving for improvements.

Muhasabah-criticisms are part of life. We should be more open to changes (good ones). Nothing is perfect. That is why god created heaven and hell. If everyone went to heaven, what would life mean? As Miss keys said, hand me a world on a silver platter, and what good would it bring? Allsaidanddone, home has little population to go with its development goals. Maybe home needs 'more-child-incentive'. We don't need more malls or buildings, we just need to improve with what we have. Keep our scholars and the educated, we need them. That said, they deserve to be treated like they should to keep them here.



Nuff said.

Unrequited Love

Im feeling sober. Then my friend would shout at me, "jobless!! emo!!". This was centuries ago. A Palestinian child was killed by Israeli gunfire. Father decides to donate child's organs to Israeli children.

Peace, at what price?

Parabola

Convocation fever is on, some fatty stalls all over. They were grudging to try the then-said Ahad's Burger. A friend of mine sort of recognized the guy behind that stall. We had a fine conversation.

He said: Im skeptical of the contents provided. Most of the channels are full of godly elements (dewa) and are only made for financial purposes in mind. Well this has to to with the non-Muslim producers and directors. Bruneians are still not ready behind the camera, most would shy away as soon as they see the black-electron (video-camera).

He was in the Sejuta Makna crew before and was familiar of the acting scene here. He preferred acting without the scripts as it was more "open". All that was needed were guidelines and props (MIB thingy). Its sad that the show didn't go on to continue, it was a good one.

The cliques I stick by...

- Even I realize its foolish to scratch a tiger's ass.
- Once u've squatted at the outhouse you know what colour shit is.
- I've not done anything good, but that everything I've have done is not wrong.
- opinions are basically alike on most matters, its only when people try to second guess each other
that problems arise.
- if you don't listen to reason there's no need for me to be reasonable.
- rumors from the near truth is better than rumors from lies itself.
- lies repeated a thousand times become truth.
- before you can change the world you must understand it.

Callused Heart

I'm nervous,
counting the hours till i see you again,
looking out the window,
where we sat to watch the same star...
my heart feels...
you may be miles away,
but i see the same side of the moon,
throughout time,
i've been watching u...
letting your smile serenade my heart...
wish i could keep that moment,
moments that will keep me close to you...
and though you'll never see,
all the tears shine through,
i know i cant be that far from you,
if we're looking at the same star...

Stop!

Like a vacuum,
perish all the spaces around me...
autumn was never so beautiful,
drops of water falling like pearls.

Rare flowers,
sweetly blossoming,
slowly arresting all expectations,
Yet u've denied u've even seen them...

Marbles rolling delicately,
balancing the hidden forces...
signs of heavens,
dancing along the wicked smile...

Cuddles and hugs,
must nature end tearfully,
love is blind...
yet clearly you're in love.

Incubus-i wish u were here

Why It Is Hard For Men To Approach Women

1) Because women are always surrounded with their friends.
2) Women tend to avoid even those they are attracted to.
3) We are afraid the girl might slap us. Siao meh.
4) Who wants to get rejected? Yea, talking like an ego bastard.
5) Afraid that the person is already in a relationship.
6) Receiving the wrong signals.
7) Can't deny we are naturally egoistic creatures.
8) Not all of us are studs or suave.
9) self conscious. Sometimes we can be image conscious freaks, talk bout inferiority complex!
10) language barrier or communication breakdown.
11) First impression disaster.
12) Don't know where to start.
13) Competition drowns some men.
14) men run out of ideas sometime - what school? work oredi? then straight - single? haha
15) I don't have 5c's

I Miss Gaming

Its been while since I've done any serious gaming (involving days and pop mee), just checking around for any good runs and narrow down the list to these games with great potential:

1) spore - security issues online


2) starcraft 2 (hopefully not a dead project, again...)


3) Red Alert 3 - behold! transformers!


4) Farcry 2 - damn good FPS - physics, graphics, weather dynamics..

Byuls

Used to make tons of them, can get really addictive, make some for that special someone... to fill a sandal box size, i think it will take at least three months of thumb-blistering-hallucinating-singing-period of time..hehe... Takes little time to learn, more time to master, forever to bring star down from the sky... Just try it!

Instructions:

Make a "ribbon" from the strip of paper, with one end as short as possible and the other long. The short end should be overtop of the long end
finish tying a "knot" by slipping the long end through the loop of the "ribbon" but don't scrunch it. Pull the "knot" as tight as you can without scrunching the paper
flatten the edges of the knot to make a pentagon shape that has one short end sticking out and one long end.
valley fold the short end and tuck it into the "pentagon" so it doesn't show anymore. You should be able to do this without scissors, but if you left your short end a bit too long, you can snip it shorter (start over if you have to snip off more than 1/2 an inch)
turn over the project valley fold the long end along the pentagon (see the red line in the image)
turn over the project valley fold the long end along the pentagon (see the red line in the image)
continue folding, making the pentagon fatter, until you have an end that's too short to fold anymore. Tuck this short end in just like you did with the first short end.
now you have a perfect little paper pentagon. Hold it lightly along two edges and then push in one of the edges (red arrow) with the tip of your thumbnail.
repeat with the remaining sides
and you end up with a puffy little 3D star (it's about the size of a nickel when you're done) Source: http://www.dltk-kids.com/world/japan/morigami_star.htm *Misty's song

Tangerine Orange

You look sweet...
As sweet as a tangerine orange...
I could smile, even without you here,
His smile,
What is the difference?
My heart is no longer favoured...
My sky,
Be it wind, rain or rainbow...
You control them all...
Each second,
There is a difference...
You don't understand,
That even simple words of "take care",
Will have a good reason...
Heart still taking pain...
Still being moved by your tenderness...
For that 'apology' before separation,
Trying to put together the pieces with time,
Still, like broken glasses fixed back together,
The crack is there...
I have to reach the stars to get to you,
You just have to smile to reach me...


Location-above my house, these migrating birds fly over in large groups early morning.

Smileys

One infectious smile,
although distance almost a mile,
turn away staring is rude,
im swept away, i wish i could...

wait oh wait, don't look back,
but how can i see what's behind my back...
just an eye so seductive,
making me act oh so compulsive!

One infectious smile,
making my imagination go wild,
gladly take another glance,
again just to see her smile!
