This month i've been reading a lot a lot about christianity.. First of all, i read about how the Nicene creed came to the ritual of the church. it was concluded around 300 B.C by the emperor to come up with a mutual repersentation of Jesus Christ and where He stands in the christian faith. So, the roman emperor invite all the bishops of the Roman emperor and ask them to do a conference in Nicaea. This conference was called The Council Of Nicaea. Besides the council, i've been reading reviews of some all novel. Recently i read the review of The Pearl... Anyway, it's been a great second month here and i have a thrilling fun with my section mates. I wish all my friends Happy holy Ramadhan and have a prosporous Fasting month. May you all have all the blessings of the world from The Merciful Father...
hello madam... finally the fasting month is coming.... i'm very excited to be in this fasting month,, recently,i have read in NST paper... its about our popular squash player,Nicol David, i am very proud of her as a Malaysian because she win one more time as a winner in Dutch Open in Amsterdam... for your information,Nicol also won the Dutch Open in 2005 and last year... she's great right... i'm always follow her sport carrier... she success in her young age... i hope i can be like her in my field one day... pray for me....:)
Yesterday, I have read about Dr. Sheikh Muzaffar who is proud to be Malaysian. i read about his journey to ISS. After I finished read about his journey, I noticed that there are some traditions that he and the crews have to do where they have to peeing over the right rear of the bus and then they were kicked over the butt twice. This traditions were really funny and make me laughed. What the purpose they did that? This what be in my mind. But what they did must be the reason.
Have you heard of "Affiliate"? Nowaday, a lot of people are trying to earn some fast money through internet. And one of the way is through "Affiliate". Do you know that we are also can be affiliate.
It works likes this. If you are able to bring each customer to purchase the merchant's product through your effort, you will be rewarded which is most probrably in commission.
However, it is not an easy job to earn the commission. It takes times and some good marketing strategies.
I had became an affiliate before during the last summer break. I was learning about internet marketing with some of my friends at that time. And we practice it in reality. And guess what, I earn my first US dollar. Feel really happy at that time. Haha.
Recently, I read an article about diet in Ramadhan. Since we are still in fasting month, I think I should share with all of you. First thing is what you should eat: 1)eating complex carbohydrates for sahur to help you fast without feeling too hungry. For example, bran-rich cereals, whole meal or brown bread, etc. 2)Soups especially if made from barley and wheat. What to drink: Drink as much water or fruit juices as possible between iftar and bedtime so that your body can adjust fluid levels for the next day. Lastly, what you should avoid: 1)Fried and fatty foods 2)Spicy foods and sauces 3)Foods containing too much sugar and refined carbohydrates 4)Caffeinated drinks like tea, coffee, fizzy drinks, etc. 5)Smoking The ideal diet should maintain your normal weight, neither decreasing nor increasing it. Try it!!!
Politics... Politics..Polotics.. I love to read articles about politic. Yesterday, I read about politic today in Malaysia. What do you think about ISA? ISA is something that enable the executive government of a jurisdiction to preserve the internal security of the nation. Honestly, I am disagree about it. I think ISA is really2 not suitable in our system in Malaysia. I think our government simply arrest someone and even worst is if you are suspected that can harm the government, they just place them under ISA instantly. So let say, if you are suspected involving in terrorist, even though you are innoncent you will be wanted to be place in ISA.. that is too cruel and kinda not fair. Hence, i hope the government will be concern about this and try to find another way..
I have read an article about a survey conducted by the Hygiene Council,a global panel of medical experts, found that Malaysian house is among the dirtiest right after India and Malaysian kitchens were more bacteria-infested than bathrooms among seven countries-United Kingdom, United States, Germany, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, India and Malaysia.
SO,is it better for us Malaysian to cook in the toilet????
As a Malaysian we have to do something with our hygiene as we don't wish foreigner to think that we are very dirty and will spoil our country's good name. And what is more important is in 1900 microorganisms were the number one killer of men worldwide!!!
so,dear friends...let us keep our homes clean especially in this period without cleaner!!!!
in this fastimg time...i have read a lot of books and articles thru da internet...on of da article is about eatimg dates while breakfast....da dates is so good for a fasting people because it contains all kind of vitamin and minerals which needed by humans' body since they are fasting along da day...so the dates can maintain our body even we havenn't take any kind of food yet
Yesterday i read an email about new criminal tactics which making used of old people or kids to do bad things as waht we are very familiar with which is a small kid crying by the roadside. When a lady spoke to the kid,the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address.So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
There are also new cases happened at ATM machine which old man or woman asking for help but actually is a trick. So,if anyone asked you to help them,i think asking the security at the bank to help them is the best solution.
In my opinion,we should protect ourselves and also be wise in helping the publics.We are not cold blooded or not compassionate but in this corrupted world
Interesting stuff you guys are reading. Dates, healthy diets, politics, Sheikh Muzaffar and dirty toilets!
Ronald, you could have 3 posts based on the stuff you've read. So now that you've read the review, are you going to read The Pearl? Was it a good review that made you curious or was it one that made you feel like avoiding the book like the plague?
Ah Nicol David, she does make us proud, that one. Very consistent too, she is. Anyone ever wondered, what's the secret of her success?
Yuen Fatt, ONE US dollar richer already! Congratulations! Only 99 more to go to see and touch that cash.
It's really crazy what the world is becoming. i recently saw a picture of the 16 year old girl who was kidnapped. She was very pretty. and apparently a good student too. What a waste! But yes, Chang, horrible people do all sorts of things to trick the unsuspecting good hearted samaritans who end up being kidnapped, raped, and murdered. Paedophiles lure kids with pictures of missing kittens, rabbits or puppies at playgrounds. Another paid young boys to carry their groceries to their vans and the boys were never seen again until their bones were discovered in a madman's basement. Serial killers like Ted Bundy appealed to his victims by being nice and helpful. There are all kinds of crazy psychopaths and sociopaths out there! It is wise to be wise as Chang says and the only thing to do is to pray to God that this doesn't happen to us or anyone for that matter. GURU3
There was an article that i read in Reader's Digest which made me believe in faith and humanity. It was a Sept. 07 issue. It was a true story happened in Taiwan.
Have you ever know someone through internet? Have you wonder that one day, two of you will become real close friends? Have you wonder whether your web friend will touch your life and vice versa? For both of them, this relationship became a significant impact in their lives. I think I will use nicknames for them. Hopefully, I didn't break the copyright rules.
Amy was a young depressed girl. She faced a lot of problems in her life. Nick was a normal working guy. Amy lived in Kaohsiung City while Nick lived in Taipei. One fine night, both of them logged in the web and ran into each other. They chatted and became web friends for instant. They exchanged mobile phones. After quite a while, Amy called Nick and told him that she suffered enough. She was burning charcoal after swallowed sleeping pills in a room, waiting for death. Nick knew she wasn't joking because she tried to kill herself for several times before. He asked Amy about her location. Amy answered that she was in eighth floor of a hotel and hung up.
Nick couldn't go there as it took a long time to reach there. By the time he was there, Amy probably would succeed. Desperated for help, he posted a message in the net hoping netizens would help them. "Red Alert, a girl in Kaohsiung City is commiting suicide. We might save her if we can find her less than an hour." He then, wrote down the details. The moderator of the forum confirmed the news with Nick and spread the words. Luckily, more and more people awared of the news.
There's a student who lived in that city saw the message. Joe tried to think deep. He deduced that the girl might checked in a cheap hotel as she was a student. Then, he realised that there was one hotel like this near his house and also near the girl's university. He called the hotel. As normal, we knew that the manager won't give the details. So, Joe tried his way. He asked the manager to reserve a room for him. Next, he said that his friend might already checked in. He gave the manager Amy's name and the manager told him that she already checked in. Joe told him that Amy was burning charcoal and he must go there immediately to save her. The manager rushed there and saw the truth. Later, Joe posted the message to inform the netizens that Amy was saved.
Nick was relieved. Amy's parents thanked Nick so hard. Nick had a word for Amy. All the people never give up on her and she mustn't give up herself. After a month, they finally met and Amy was never depressed again.
This story impresses me. Web has a power beyond our imagination. The most important thing is that all the netizens are so willing to help a stranger who they never really knew. This makes me feel that no matter what happens, we are still there to help each other. Therefore, don't be a fool to end the life. Life is short. It will be memorable and everlasting depend on what we do today. Believe in humanity.
While checking my e-mail inbox after not having done so for as long as I could remember, I came across a mail about a man, named Juseleeno, a Brazilian who has made many predictions and most have come to pass, including Princess Diana's death by car accident, 911 and tsunami in the near end of 2004. Through his dreams, he makes an average of 3-9 predictions a day. He does not keep those to himself but take actions by sending warnings to the parties concerned. The followings are some of his predictions, since most of us will have enough lifespan, let’s see if he’s right… 2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan, which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus metres high to occur as well. 2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 metres to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people. Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted. 2008, 17th December: terrorist attack in America 2010: The temperatures in some countries of Africa could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius, and there will be a serious shortage of water. 2010, 15th June: The New York Stock Exchange market will fail, causing an international financial crisis. 2011: The research on the treatment of some cancers will be completed, but a new life-threatening virus will appear. People who are infected will die after only approx. 4 hours of coming into contact with the virus. 2013, 1st - 25th November: Research on treatment of cancers, except for brain tumors, will be completed. An earthquake, caused by volcanic eruptions, will happen on Bahama Island of the Canary Islands. A gigantic tsunami of roughly 150 metres will result. America mainlands, Brazil etc. will be affected, with the tsunami pushing into the land as far as 15 to 20 kilometres. Before the occurrence of this gigantic tsunami, the sea/ocean water levels will sink by about 6 metres, and large flocks of birds will start to migrate. 2014: A small planet that has been gradually closing in on Earth might eventually collide with Earth, and this collision, if come to pass, will affect the survival of humans as a whole. 2015: By the mid of November, the average temperature of Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius. Many people will die from the overheat, and international confusion and terror ensues. 2016, April: A huge typhoon will invade China, causing massive damage. The 43rd USA president, George Walker Bush, will enter the hospital, and faces a life or death situation. 2026, July: A super earthquake will occur in Sans Francisco, and it will be named "The Big One". Huge damage to surrounding areas. Many volcanoes will reactivate, and the height of resulting tsunami will be more than 150 metres. The feasibility of the first two predictions are now known, they do not seem very right, but when you think of it, an earthquake did occur in Sichuan(China) and before this, storm surges, but not tsunami, did happen in Myanmar although it’s not in Japan as predicted. Psychic is one of the most coveted ability if I were to choose to have one. And being a Pokemon fans, yes, you’re right, the ‘psychic’ type is my favourite. However, while having a second thought, having the ability to see the future may be cool, but it negates all the fun, anticipation and excitement of the future which has got seemingly endless possibilities. In this way, we not only will limit our thinking, decisions and actions, but also will hamper our determination and willpower to strive for a better future. Alright then, let’s see if Mr. Juseleeno gets his other predictions right......
Today, i surf the internet to look for the online newspaper. Therefore, i read an news about 'Penan girls being sexually abused'. The news stated that A foreign organisation has claimed that Penan women and girls in the deep interiors of Baram are being sexually abused by logging company workers. The organisation is Bruno Manser Fund (BMF), claimed on its website that the logging workers usually drunk and looked for women around their settlements in this few weeks. This phenomenon is worse during the school holidays and weekend when they know that the students are back in the settlements. There are many cases has happened till now. For an example, a girl student who accepted lifts on vehicles from the logging companies. They were sexually abused as the drivers would stop at a logging camp overnight. As a result, the girl student was pregnant and then she commited suicide. The Penans had apparently claimed that the loggers used armed thugs to intimidate them and gave alcohol to the youngsters in their community. Therefore, this company started to urged the government to start a formal inquiry. After that the Marudi district police chief Deputy Superintendent Jonathan Jalin promised to investigate the allegations. In my opinion, this phenomenon is very serious and should be paid attention by government and public peoples. They have to cooperate to solve this problem to avoid many cases will happen in the future. I hope this problem will not happen in anywhere again and be solved quickly and effectively.
I have read a lot of political problems in Malaysia.Its was quiet interesting besause its our future as Malaysians.There were a lot of problems includes ISA and transitions leader among our Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister.I hope Malaysia still in peace forever.
hello..i have read about entertainment in malaysia..to me, i think it's not wrong for us to entertain if we are in the right track. i think, just to release our tension of studies..we can see, certain entertainment nowadays is not good for us to watch..such as one movie which is humiliate islam and believe islam is fierce..
This is from an e-mail received from a classmate back in... guess when... 1st of October 2007... almost a year ago already. Wonder why it's been lying in my inbox? It's... mostly a result of my idleness >.<... i feel lazy reading lengthy materials while checking mails. Why do i keep it till now, you may ask? It's because i believed, at that time, the content is valuable and simply worth more than just a look. And finally, earlier today, while keeping a roommate in company in the library, i read through this mail, while being confirmed that, my decision back in last year was right, i felt an accumulation of tears as i proceeded. This is a piece by a 15-year-old girl that won the Commonwealth essay competition, she had actually entered the category of 16 to 18-year-olds. Her short story, titled 'What the Modern Woman Wants', focused on the conflict in values between an old lady and her independent-minded daughter. The story started with the old lady being at the back seat of a magenta convertible that is driven by her daughter, Bee Choo, along the highway, heading towards a temple. Along the way, Bee Choo was speaking to a client, through her sleek silver mobile phone, in an American accent, and being interrupted by her mother, she hurled her phone towards the backseat furiously. The phone hit the old woman on the forehead then landed on her lap, she then, without uttering a word, calmly picked it up and handed it back. Soon, there was another incoming call, but this time from a friend of Bee Choo, at the start of the conversation, Bee Choo addressed herself as Elaine, which remembered her mother about Bee Choo telling her that English names are important for 'networking' as Chinese ones are easily forgotten, after all, she didn't name her Elaine at all! Somewhere in the middle of the conversation, she even exclaimed that she can’t make it for lunch with the caller due to the need to take the ancient relic to the temple for her weird daily prayer ritual, which her mother understood perfectly it was referring to her. As they reach the destination, Bee Choo showed her reluctance to even step into the temple and said she had to make an important phone call. The old lady then stepped into the temple hall, lit a joss stick, then proceeded with the prayer. It was revealed that she had prayed to God for her daughter ever since her stomach was round like a melon, hoping that it was a son. After the birth, her husband kicked and punched her for producing a useless baby who could not work or carry the family name. Still, she returned to the temple with her new-born girl tied to her waist in a sarong and prayed that her daughter would grow up and have everything she ever wanted. Her husband left her and she prayed that her daughter would never have to depend on a man. She thanked God for giving luck to her daughter all these years and everything she had prayed for, ranging from a big house with swimming pool, a maid to help with sewing and cooking, getting engaged to a rich and handsome English man to her company now being the top financial firm and even men listen to what she says. Now her daughter was too clever for her and she wondered why she had prayed like that, her daughter had forgotten her mother's values, only in pursuit of power, wealth, access to the best fashion boutiques and yet her daughter had not found true happiness. After the prayer, they hopped back onto the convertible. On the way back, Bee Choo explained that she and her fiancee will move to a cosier penthouse apartment as a buyer is willing to pay 7 million for the big house. She added that the maid would be gotten rid of and there won't be anyone to look after her mother, she told her plan to relocate her mother to a Christian home which then left the old woman in tears and despair, while Bee Choo, not even caring about her mother's feelings, only felt liberation and freedom. That's all with the story, in my opinion, the story line isn't a big deal as it is pretty predictable judging from the title, but what makes it spectacular is how the author portraits the seemingly every day scenario between people of different generations.
As for myself, i have people from two generations ago living under the same roof with myself, who are the parents of my mother. Having elderly people with us is a blessing as useful advice can be gotten from their vast experience in life, but also a curse, as some may say, because these old folks add to the burden of their lives. Grandpa, sorry for all the grumbles when you wanted to give me a lecture on history of China when i was playing games on the computer… sorry for all the complaints when you needed my help to apply your eye drops… sorry that i made fun of you when you enquired me about the food served on plates and the words on the newspaper, due to your now impaired vision… Grandma, sorry for the harsh reply when you ordered me to go to bed while i was chatting with friends on msn till late night… sorry that i always insisted to watch my vcds and dvds when it was time for you to enjoy your favourite Hokkien dramas on tv… Sorry for being impolite to both of you, i will learn to put myself into your shoes and work towards becoming a better person, i promise… I can’t be more grateful for still having you both in my life… I… love… you… I’ll be home very soon… in less than 48 hours from now… please await for my arrival…

I have read article about time-management.it is quite interesting! it states that everybody has 24 hours per day.knowing how to use or individuals time varies from person to person, often success is direct result of using our time correctly.besides, Mr. Douglass Freeman of New York Times wrote "the one who uses times very well see great results in their life.Time is the only thing cannot be returned. Don't waffle,ramble and rave on."Furthermore it also tells us to be careful,then, how u live-not as unwise but as wise,making the most of every opportunity,because the days are evil.i have learned in order for us to have excellent time management,we need to have high self-discipline and strong determination.
i have read many book and magazine this month.none of the are educational but somehow i manage to read somthing one of my favoutite leader, Adolf Hitler.Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, on 20 April 1889,the fourth child of six.His father, Alois Hitler (1837–1903), was a customs official. His mother, Klara Pölzl (1860–1907), was Alois' third wife. She was also his half-niece, so a papal dispensation was obtained for the marriage. Of Alois and Klara's six children, only Adolf and his sister Paula, seven years his junior, reached adulthood. Hitler's father also had a son, Alois, Jr., and a daughter, Angela, by his second wife.
Hitler had a troubled childhood, as his father was violent to him and violent towards his mother. Hitler himself said that, as a boy, he was often beaten by his father. Years later, he told his secretary: "I then resolved never again to cry when my father whipped me. A few days later I had the opportunity of putting my will to the test. My mother, frightened, took refuge in front of the door. As for me, I counted silently the blows of the stick which lashed my rear end". Some historians believe a history of family violence committed by his father against his mother is indicated in a section of his book Mein Kampf in which Hitler describes in vivid detail an anonymous example of family violence committed by a husband against a wife. This along with beatings by his father against him could explain Hitler's deep emotional attachment to his mother while at the same time having deep resentment towards his father.
Hitler's family moved often, from Braunau am Inn to Passau, Lambach, Leonding, and Linz. The young Hitler was a good student in elementary school. But in the sixth grade, his first year of high school (Realschule) in Linz he failed and had to repeat the grade. His teachers said that he had "no desire to work". One of Hitler's fellow pupils in the Realschule was Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the great philosophers of the 20th century.
Hitler later said that his educational slump was a rebellion against his father, who wanted the boy to follow him in a career as a customs official; he wanted to become a painter instead. This explanation is further supported by Hitler's later description of himself as a misunderstood artist. After Alois died on 3 January 1903, Hitler's schoolwork did not improve. At age 16, Hitler dropped out of high school without a diploma.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler attributed his conversion to German nationalism to a time during his early teenage years when he read a book of his father's about the Franco-Prussian War, which caused him to question why his father and other German Austrians failed to fight for the Germans during the war.
I had been reading about the most famous musician ever, Ludwig van Beethoven. Ludwig van Beethoven (English IPA: /ˈlʊdvɪg væn ˈbeɪtoʊvən/; German pronunciation: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːthoːfn], 16 December 1770[1] – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most respected and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, then in the Electorate of Cologne (now in modern-day Germany), he moved to Vienna in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose, and to conduct and perform, even after he was completely deaf.
this week i am going to share with you one of my most liked comic ever that is naruto
Naruto is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto with an anime adaptation. The plot tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a loud, hyperactive, unpredictable, adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and aspires to become a Hokage, the ninja in his village that is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all. The series is based on a one-shot that Kishimoto first authored in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump.
The manga was first published by Shueisha in 1999 in the 43rd issue of Japan's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine and it is still being released with forty-four volumes. The manga would be later adapted into an anime produced by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex. It premiered across Japan on the terrestrial TV Tokyo network and the anime satellite television network Animax on October 3, 2002. The first series lasted nine seasons, while Naruto: Shippūden, a sequel of the series, began its first on February 15, 2007 and is still airing.
Viz Media has licensed the manga and anime for North American production. The Naruto anime debuted in the United States on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block on September 10, 2005, and in Canada on YTV's Bionix on September 16, 2005. Naruto began showing in the United Kingdom on Jetix on July 22, 2006. It began showing on Toasted TV on January 12, 2007, in Australia, which features the Manga Entertainment TV version and the German-language dub opening, although it could be watched on Cartoon Network in 2006.[1]
Serialized in Viz's Shonen Jump magazine, Naruto has become one of the company's best-selling manga series. As of volume 36, the manga has sold over 71 million copies in Japan.

5)Smoking
The ideal diet should maintain your normal weight, neither decreasing nor increasing it.
Try it!!!
Politics... Politics..Polotics.. I love to read articles about politic. Yesterday, I read about politic today in Malaysia. What do you think about ISA? ISA is something that enable the executive government of a jurisdiction to preserve the internal security of the nation. Honestly, I am disagree about it. I think ISA is really2 not suitable in our system in Malaysia. I think our government simply arrest someone and even worst is if you are suspected that can harm the government, they just place them under ISA instantly. So let say, if you are suspected involving in terrorist, even though you are innoncent you will be wanted to be place in ISA.. that is too cruel and kinda not fair. Hence, i hope the government will be concern about this and try to find another way..
I have read an article about a survey conducted by the Hygiene Council,a global panel of medical experts, found that Malaysian house is among the dirtiest right after India and Malaysian kitchens were more bacteria-infested than bathrooms among seven countries-United Kingdom, United States, Germany, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, India and Malaysia.
SO,is it better for us Malaysian to cook in the toilet????
As a Malaysian we have to do something with our hygiene as we don't wish foreigner to think that we are very dirty and will spoil our country's good name. And what is more important is in 1900 microorganisms were the number one killer of men worldwide!!!
so,dear friends...let us keep our homes clean especially in this period without cleaner!!!!
in this fastimg time...i have read a lot of books and articles thru da internet...on of da article is about eatimg dates while breakfast....da dates is so good for a fasting people because it contains all kind of vitamin and minerals which needed by humans' body since they are fasting along da day...so the dates can maintain our body even we havenn't take any kind of food yet
Yesterday i read an email about new criminal tactics which making used of old people or kids to do bad things as waht we are very familiar with which is a small kid crying by the roadside. When a lady spoke to the kid,the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address.So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
There are also new cases happened at ATM machine which old man or woman asking for help but actually is a trick. So,if anyone asked you to help them,i think asking the security at the bank to help them is the best solution.
In my opinion,we should protect ourselves and also be wise in helping the publics.We are not cold blooded or not compassionate but in this corrupted world

Interesting stuff you guys are reading. Dates, healthy diets, politics, Sheikh Muzaffar and dirty toilets!
Ronald, you could have 3 posts based on the stuff you've read. So now that you've read the review, are you going to read The Pearl? Was it a good review that made you curious or was it one that made you feel like avoiding the book like the plague?
Ah Nicol David, she does make us proud, that one. Very consistent too, she is. Anyone ever wondered, what's the secret of her success?
Yuen Fatt, ONE US dollar richer already! Congratulations! Only 99 more to go to see and touch that cash.
It's really crazy what the world is becoming. i recently saw a picture of the 16 year old girl who was kidnapped. She was very pretty. and apparently a good student too. What a waste!
But yes, Chang, horrible people do all sorts of things to trick the unsuspecting good hearted samaritans who end up being kidnapped, raped, and murdered.
Paedophiles lure kids with pictures of missing kittens, rabbits or puppies at playgrounds. Another paid young boys to carry their groceries to their vans and the boys were never seen again until their bones were discovered in a madman's basement. Serial killers like Ted Bundy appealed to his victims by being nice and helpful. There are all kinds of crazy psychopaths and sociopaths out there! It is wise to be wise as Chang says and the only thing to do is to pray to God that this doesn't happen to us or anyone for that matter.

There was an article that i read in Reader's Digest which made me believe in faith and humanity. It was a Sept. 07 issue. It was a true story happened in Taiwan.
Have you ever know someone through internet? Have you wonder that one day, two of you will become real close friends? Have you wonder whether your web friend will touch your life and vice versa? For both of them, this relationship became a significant impact in their lives. I think I will use nicknames for them. Hopefully, I didn't break the copyright rules.
Amy was a young depressed girl. She faced a lot of problems in her life. Nick was a normal working guy. Amy lived in Kaohsiung City while Nick lived in Taipei. One fine night, both of them logged in the web and ran into each other. They chatted and became web friends for instant. They exchanged mobile phones. After quite a while, Amy called Nick and told him that she suffered enough. She was burning charcoal after swallowed sleeping pills in a room, waiting for death. Nick knew she wasn't joking because she tried to kill herself for several times before. He asked Amy about her location. Amy answered that she was in eighth floor of a hotel and hung up.
Nick couldn't go there as it took a long time to reach there. By the time he was there, Amy probably would succeed. Desperated for help, he posted a message in the net hoping netizens would help them. "Red Alert, a girl in Kaohsiung City is commiting suicide. We might save her if we can find her less than an hour." He then, wrote down the details. The moderator of the forum confirmed the news with Nick and spread the words. Luckily, more and more people awared of the news.
There's a student who lived in that city saw the message. Joe tried to think deep. He deduced that the girl might checked in a cheap hotel as she was a student. Then, he realised that there was one hotel like this near his house and also near the girl's university. He called the hotel. As normal, we knew that the manager won't give the details. So, Joe tried his way. He asked the manager to reserve a room for him. Next, he said that his friend might already checked in. He gave the manager Amy's name and the manager told him that she already checked in. Joe told him that Amy was burning charcoal and he must go there immediately to save her. The manager rushed there and saw the truth. Later, Joe posted the message to inform the netizens that Amy was saved.
Nick was relieved. Amy's parents thanked Nick so hard. Nick had a word for Amy. All the people never give up on her and she mustn't give up herself. After a month, they finally met and Amy was never depressed again.
This story impresses me. Web has a power beyond our imagination. The most important thing is that all the netizens are so willing to help a stranger who they never really knew. This makes me feel that no matter what happens, we are still there to help each other. Therefore, don't be a fool to end the life. Life is short. It will be memorable and everlasting depend on what we do today. Believe in humanity.

While checking my e-mail inbox after not having done so for as long as I could remember, I came across a mail about a man, named Juseleeno, a Brazilian who has made many predictions and most have come to pass, including Princess Diana's death by car accident, 911 and tsunami in the near end of 2004. Through his dreams, he makes an average of 3-9 predictions a day. He does not keep those to himself but take actions by sending warnings to the parties concerned. The followings are some of his predictions, since most of us will have enough lifespan, let’s see if he’s right…
2008, July: There will be an earthquake in Japan, which will cause a tsunami of 30 plus metres high to occur as well.
2008, 18th September: An earthquake with magnitude of approximately 9.1 will rock China , simultaneously causing a tsunami of more than 30 metres to occur, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million people. Although this huge earthquake will happen after the Olympics have ended, there will be a series of relatively smaller earthquakes occurring in China before the huge earthquake. The China government, which is more concerned with the success of the Olympics, will most likely neglect to employ appropriate cautionary measures, thus the high casualty rate. If the China government does not publicise the occurrence of these minor earthquakes and evacuate people, the number of deaths will be as predicted.
2008, 17th December: terrorist attack in America
2010: The temperatures in some countries of Africa could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius, and there will be a serious shortage of water.
2010, 15th June: The New York Stock Exchange market will fail, causing an international financial crisis.
2011: The research on the treatment of some cancers will be completed, but a new life-threatening virus will appear. People who are infected will die after only approx. 4 hours of coming into contact with the virus.
2013, 1st - 25th November: Research on treatment of cancers, except for brain tumors, will be completed. An earthquake, caused by volcanic eruptions, will happen on Bahama Island of the Canary Islands. A gigantic tsunami of roughly 150 metres will result. America mainlands, Brazil etc. will be affected, with the tsunami pushing into the land as far as 15 to 20 kilometres. Before the occurrence of this gigantic tsunami, the sea/ocean water levels will sink by about 6 metres, and large flocks of birds will start to migrate.
2014: A small planet that has been gradually closing in on Earth might eventually collide with Earth, and this collision, if come to pass, will affect the survival of humans as a whole.
2015: By the mid of November, the average temperature of Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius. Many people will die from the overheat, and international confusion and terror ensues.
2016, April: A huge typhoon will invade China, causing massive damage. The 43rd USA president, George Walker Bush, will enter the hospital, and faces a life or death situation.
2026, July: A super earthquake will occur in Sans Francisco, and it will be named "The Big One". Huge damage to surrounding areas. Many volcanoes will reactivate, and the height of resulting tsunami will be more than 150 metres.
The feasibility of the first two predictions are now known, they do not seem very right, but when you think of it, an earthquake did occur in Sichuan(China) and before this, storm surges, but not tsunami, did happen in Myanmar although it’s not in Japan as predicted. Psychic is one of the most coveted ability if I were to choose to have one. And being a Pokemon fans, yes, you’re right, the ‘psychic’ type is my favourite. However, while having a second thought, having the ability to see the future may be cool, but it negates all the fun, anticipation and excitement of the future which has got seemingly endless possibilities. In this way, we not only will limit our thinking, decisions and actions, but also will hamper our determination and willpower to strive for a better future. Alright then, let’s see if Mr. Juseleeno gets his other predictions right......

Today, i surf the internet to look for the online newspaper. Therefore, i read an news about 'Penan girls being sexually abused'. The news stated that A foreign organisation has claimed that Penan women and girls in the deep interiors of Baram are being sexually abused by logging company workers. The organisation is Bruno Manser Fund (BMF), claimed on its website that the logging workers usually drunk and looked for women around their settlements in this few weeks. This phenomenon is worse during the school holidays and weekend when they know that the students are back in the settlements. There are many cases has happened till now. For an example, a girl student who accepted lifts on vehicles from the logging companies. They were sexually abused as the drivers would stop at a logging camp overnight. As a result, the girl student was pregnant and then she commited suicide. The Penans had apparently claimed that the loggers used armed thugs to intimidate them and gave alcohol to the youngsters in their community. Therefore, this company started to urged the government to start a formal inquiry. After that the Marudi district police chief Deputy Superintendent Jonathan Jalin promised to investigate the allegations. In my opinion, this phenomenon is very serious and should be paid attention by government and public peoples. They have to cooperate to solve this problem to avoid many cases will happen in the future. I hope this problem will not happen in anywhere again and be solved quickly and effectively.
I have read a lot of political problems in Malaysia.Its was quiet interesting besause its our future as Malaysians.There were a lot of problems includes ISA and transitions leader among our Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister.I hope Malaysia still in peace forever.

This is from an e-mail received from a classmate back in... guess when... 1st of October 2007... almost a year ago already. Wonder why it's been lying in my inbox? It's... mostly a result of my idleness >.<... i feel lazy reading lengthy materials while checking mails. Why do i keep it till now, you may ask? It's because i believed, at that time, the content is valuable and simply worth more than just a look. And finally, earlier today, while keeping a roommate in company in the library, i read through this mail, while being confirmed that, my decision back in last year was right, i felt an accumulation of tears as i proceeded. This is a piece by a 15-year-old girl that won the Commonwealth essay competition, she had actually entered the category of 16 to 18-year-olds. Her short story, titled 'What the Modern Woman Wants', focused on the conflict in values between an old lady and her independent-minded daughter. The story started with the old lady being at the back seat of a magenta convertible that is driven by her daughter, Bee Choo, along the highway, heading towards a temple. Along the way, Bee Choo was speaking to a client, through her sleek silver mobile phone, in an American accent, and being interrupted by her mother, she hurled her phone towards the backseat furiously. The phone hit the old woman on the forehead then landed on her lap, she then, without uttering a word, calmly picked it up and handed it back. Soon, there was another incoming call, but this time from a friend of Bee Choo, at the start of the conversation, Bee Choo addressed herself as Elaine, which remembered her mother about Bee Choo telling her that English names are important for 'networking' as Chinese ones are easily forgotten, after all, she didn't name her Elaine at all! Somewhere in the middle of the conversation, she even exclaimed that she can’t make it for lunch with the caller due to the need to take the ancient relic to the temple for her weird daily prayer ritual, which her mother understood perfectly it was referring to her. As they reach the destination, Bee Choo showed her reluctance to even step into the temple and said she had to make an important phone call. The old lady then stepped into the temple hall, lit a joss stick, then proceeded with the prayer. It was revealed that she had prayed to God for her daughter ever since her stomach was round like a melon, hoping that it was a son. After the birth, her husband kicked and punched her for producing a useless baby who could not work or carry the family name. Still, she returned to the temple with her new-born girl tied to her waist in a sarong and prayed that her daughter would grow up and have everything she ever wanted. Her husband left her and she prayed that her daughter would never have to depend on a man. She thanked God for giving luck to her daughter all these years and everything she had prayed for, ranging from a big house with swimming pool, a maid to help with sewing and cooking, getting engaged to a rich and handsome English man to her company now being the top financial firm and even men listen to what she says. Now her daughter was too clever for her and she wondered why she had prayed like that, her daughter had forgotten her mother's values, only in pursuit of power, wealth, access to the best fashion boutiques and yet her daughter had not found true happiness. After the prayer, they hopped back onto the convertible. On the way back, Bee Choo explained that she and her fiancee will move to a cosier penthouse apartment as a buyer is willing to pay 7 million for the big house. She added that the maid would be gotten rid of and there won't be anyone to look after her mother, she told her plan to relocate her mother to a Christian home which then left the old woman in tears and despair, while Bee Choo, not even caring about her mother's feelings, only felt liberation and freedom. That's all with the story, in my opinion, the story line isn't a big deal as it is pretty predictable judging from the title, but what makes it spectacular is how the author portraits the seemingly every day scenario between people of different generations.
As for myself, i have people from two generations ago living under the same roof with myself, who are the parents of my mother. Having elderly people with us is a blessing as useful advice can be gotten from their vast experience in life, but also a curse, as some may say, because these old folks add to the burden of their lives. Grandpa, sorry for all the grumbles when you wanted to give me a lecture on history of China when i was playing games on the computer… sorry for all the complaints when you needed my help to apply your eye drops… sorry that i made fun of you when you enquired me about the food served on plates and the words on the newspaper, due to your now impaired vision… Grandma, sorry for the harsh reply when you ordered me to go to bed while i was chatting with friends on msn till late night… sorry that i always insisted to watch my vcds and dvds when it was time for you to enjoy your favourite Hokkien dramas on tv… Sorry for being impolite to both of you, i will learn to put myself into your shoes and work towards becoming a better person, i promise… I can’t be more grateful for still having you both in my life… I… love… you… I’ll be home very soon… in less than 48 hours from now… please await for my arrival…

I have read article about time-management.it is quite interesting! it states that everybody has 24 hours per day.knowing how to use or individuals time varies from person to person, often success is direct result of using our time correctly.besides, Mr. Douglass Freeman of New York Times wrote "the one who uses times very well see great results in their life.Time is the only thing cannot be returned. Don't waffle,ramble and rave on."Furthermore it also tells us to be careful,then, how u live-not as unwise but as wise,making the most of every opportunity,because the days are evil.i have learned in order for us to have excellent time management,we need to have high self-discipline and strong determination.
i have read many book and magazine this month.none of the are educational but somehow i manage to read somthing one of my favoutite leader, Adolf Hitler.Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, on 20 April 1889,the fourth child of six.His father, Alois Hitler (1837–1903), was a customs official. His mother, Klara Pölzl (1860–1907), was Alois' third wife. She was also his half-niece, so a papal dispensation was obtained for the marriage. Of Alois and Klara's six children, only Adolf and his sister Paula, seven years his junior, reached adulthood. Hitler's father also had a son, Alois, Jr., and a daughter, Angela, by his second wife.
Hitler had a troubled childhood, as his father was violent to him and violent towards his mother. Hitler himself said that, as a boy, he was often beaten by his father. Years later, he told his secretary: "I then resolved never again to cry when my father whipped me. A few days later I had the opportunity of putting my will to the test. My mother, frightened, took refuge in front of the door. As for me, I counted silently the blows of the stick which lashed my rear end". Some historians believe a history of family violence committed by his father against his mother is indicated in a section of his book Mein Kampf in which Hitler describes in vivid detail an anonymous example of family violence committed by a husband against a wife. This along with beatings by his father against him could explain Hitler's deep emotional attachment to his mother while at the same time having deep resentment towards his father.
Hitler's family moved often, from Braunau am Inn to Passau, Lambach, Leonding, and Linz. The young Hitler was a good student in elementary school. But in the sixth grade, his first year of high school (Realschule) in Linz he failed and had to repeat the grade. His teachers said that he had "no desire to work". One of Hitler's fellow pupils in the Realschule was Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the great philosophers of the 20th century.
Hitler later said that his educational slump was a rebellion against his father, who wanted the boy to follow him in a career as a customs official; he wanted to become a painter instead. This explanation is further supported by Hitler's later description of himself as a misunderstood artist. After Alois died on 3 January 1903, Hitler's schoolwork did not improve. At age 16, Hitler dropped out of high school without a diploma.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler attributed his conversion to German nationalism to a time during his early teenage years when he read a book of his father's about the Franco-Prussian War, which caused him to question why his father and other German Austrians failed to fight for the Germans during the war.
I had been reading about the most famous musician ever, Ludwig van Beethoven.
Ludwig van Beethoven (English IPA: /ˈlʊdvɪg væn ˈbeɪtoʊvən/; German pronunciation: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːthoːfn], 16 December 1770[1] – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most respected and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, then in the Electorate of Cologne (now in modern-day Germany), he moved to Vienna in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose, and to conduct and perform, even after he was completely deaf.
this week i am going to share with you one of my most liked comic ever that is naruto
Naruto is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto with an anime adaptation. The plot tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a loud, hyperactive, unpredictable, adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and aspires to become a Hokage, the ninja in his village that is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all. The series is based on a one-shot that Kishimoto first authored in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump.
The manga was first published by Shueisha in 1999 in the 43rd issue of Japan's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine and it is still being released with forty-four volumes. The manga would be later adapted into an anime produced by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex. It premiered across Japan on the terrestrial TV Tokyo network and the anime satellite television network Animax on October 3, 2002. The first series lasted nine seasons, while Naruto: Shippūden, a sequel of the series, began its first on February 15, 2007 and is still airing.
Viz Media has licensed the manga and anime for North American production. The Naruto anime debuted in the United States on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block on September 10, 2005, and in Canada on YTV's Bionix on September 16, 2005. Naruto began showing in the United Kingdom on Jetix on July 22, 2006. It began showing on Toasted TV on January 12, 2007, in Australia, which features the Manga Entertainment TV version and the German-language dub opening, although it could be watched on Cartoon Network in 2006.[1]
Serialized in Viz's Shonen Jump magazine, Naruto has become one of the company's best-selling manga series. As of volume 36, the manga has sold over 71 million copies in Japan.
