A nervous-cum-tedious day

A faint twinge of excitement floated through my body yesterday. I did not know whether it was because of the fact that I will be having my driving test today or just after cups of tea I drank.

As I stepped into the field of war, all the nervous deliberations crept into my defenseless body. My adrenaline was running frantically. I utterly felt my heartbeats pounding hard out of my chest. HOWEVER, after hours of tedious waiting, whatever nervousnesses were dilapidated. The JPJ authorities actually came late and gave us the cliche remark that something iwas wrong with their car. At that moment, I was exasperated but I continued to hold my best masquerade for a few more hours.

Okay, I do not want to beat around the bush. I passed the 'bukit'. I passed the parking. But what annoyed me was that the JPJ guy come near me and said that I have dropped the so-called 'tiang'. He actually scared me to death but you know what? He lied. Zzz.... What an inglorious act of someone who I supposed to be so much more mature and noble. After that, road driving test. Fortunately, I got the Midas touch to have an amicable JPJ examiner sitting right beside me. I actually calling him 'abang'. ^_^

Here are my bad chronicles of the road driving test:

1. not adjusting the left mirror (which I do not know I have to >.<")
2. not using the traffic light wisely (which the JPJ guy have to tell me what to do)
3. sudden brake
4. car was moving behind
5. not using the right gear for respective speed
6. engine off twice

Hoho... Despite of having so many mistakes, I actually passed it. I do not know whether it is decent for me to rejoice but I do. For this very test, it shows me that we do not have to be always excellent for something we put on test. In fact, we can just cover up what we are lacking of with other ability/abilities, be it in communication, interpersonal, intrapersonal, life, et cetera. By the way, sorry if my opinion clashes with yours but that is just one of my mere perspectives. I hope you guys have a good day too... 'Bronto' day!

Good or bad?

Hmm, I guess I haven't pen in my SPM result. I know it is a bit late but just to add some infos of myself in my blog is not wrong right? It was not string of As but not bad too. 8As and 3Bs. What more can I hope for?

Needless to say, people nowadays mostly obsessed in getting strings of As. However, can you assure me that those exam top scorers will surely surpassing the mediocre performers in the future? Personally, I do not think so. There were tonnes of people who are not well academically but they earn more money and holding high-ranking posts compare to those who aced their exam papers.

However, most parents have neglected other developments of their children because they are only focusing on academic. It is as if children who can't get many or straight As will considered stupid and useless. First of all, classifying them as weak students is an unfair assessment. They may be weak academically, but may have bright minds to do business or bright hands to do craft works or skills like motor mechanics.

To be successful in life, you need to have skills, be it technical, interpersonal, life or communication skills. By the way, obtaining straight As is not the be-all and end-all of life. Couple of weeks ago, I leafed through the newspaper and an article caught my attention. It introduced the Multiple Intelligences(MI) theory that one might have. There were 8 types of intelligences:

Obituary

It has been a long time since I blogged last time. In the mean time, many things had happened and really changed my life and my perspectives on life. It started well from working to... I think most of you knew what it was. Hmm, I guess that is what we call the twist in life right? Here is what I feel for the lost love:

You were like my idol
You gave life to me
You showered me with copious love and care
You protected me from all hazards.

Sometimes
We bickered and I always had you exasperated
Albeit I did not mean to
But we will be fine then.

As both of us grew older
And separated far apart
Even when you weren't near me
You were always in my heart.

Nothing could describe my joy
When I found that you loved me
And nothing can describe my pain
When I found that I'm not by your side during the sunset of your life.

But fate was cruel, it is unkind
It made you go away
I knew that you could not return
No matter how much I pray.

The sun will continue to shine
With its rays that are so bright
However, inside my darkened world
Nothing feels right.

Now I'm standing by myself
Mourning all alone
Reminiscing on all our times together
And all the love you've shown.

I will always love you
You, who was my first and my last until the end.

Fabulous Day^^

Today is just nice for me. In the morning, I went to school and met some of my lovely teachers (Pn.Moga, Pn.Thana, Pn.Sharifah, and Pn.Fazidah). It was quite happy to hear the words that come out from their mouths. They said that they missed our batch a lot. Haha... Of course they do. I'm not acting arrogant but which class can really pick up and stand head to head compared to ours? We definitely have the ability to make peoples around us happy and remember us when we are separated. So guys and gals, give a clap to students from Form 5 2009!!

After that, I went for my undang test. The girl who was taking charge there was so rude! I really thought that she was having her menstruation. Zzz... At first, I was scared when i cannot log in my ID. I forced myself to ask that annoying girl back then. ..... I actually find out that I sat in the wrong place. It was so embarrassing and I did get another crazy look from that girl. Lolz.

Putting that aside, I have actually passed the test! It was not a great score but at least I passed. Hehe... I got 45 out of 50 questions there. It was just sweet and lovely. Actually, I just spent a night studying the kpp book I borrowed from Seow. And I did less than 200 questions from the question book because I feel faint every time I open that book. Lolz...excuses. Oh yeah, Chew passed too^^

Hmm... We are going for our interview tomorrow. At this point, I'm happy and I'm looking forward for my job interview tomorrow. Finger crossed, let's hope for the best for us tomorrow. Together we break through the sky and fly up high!!!

KLCC : The STAR Education Fair

Yesterday, I went to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre(KLCC) to participate in an education fair - The Star Education Fair 2010. A great number of exhibitors were participating, occupying five exhibition halls there. Honestly speaking, I never went for any education fair before in my entire life until yesterday. It was really eye-opening for me as a beginner( Ps...I know I sounded a bit "sam ba" ). But, who cares. I'm not living according to what people expect me to be.

Through some exposure on the path I have to take in the future yesterday, I think I know a little bit more on what I should do next. By the way, I went for a talk on medicine and dentistry yesterday. Of course I was not there to listen to the fucking medicine talk. It was damn boring man!! I was there for dentistry. But... The lecturer or dentist(she is a girl^^) said that left-handers like me are not suitable to be dentist mainly because those dental instruments were designed for right-handers. What a shame...

And one more thing, I started to hate those rich guys who do not know how to spend their money wisely. They can simply become a shophaholic and end up buying expensive and posh handbags, clothes, shoes and others to fulfill their temporary satisfaction! If really got that much money, would they spare me some?? Haha... Just joking >.< Friends, it's not easy to earn money. Most of us have lived their wonderful childhood and they do not have to worry about money when they want something. Start to think that you need money now for your studies. Pre-university, degree, master and others. In addition, SOME of us will need money to open their own shop and buy instruments needed after they have finished their studies. Plus, most of us have brothers and sisters. Do you want to burden your parents? Do you want to ruin your brother's or sister's life? How if your family went into bankruptcy? So, save some for rainy days, my friends...

SEX - A Healthy Lifesyle?

Men do not have sex to stay healthy, but if they knew how good it was for them, they may. If doctors could, they may prescribe sex and intimacy for their male patients(take note this does not include the type of sex that got Tiger Woods in trouble). In fact, it is as important as exercise and diet to a man.

Study after study has declared that the more orgasms a man has, the longer he is likely to live. A study done with researchers at Queen University in Belfast tracked 1000 men from Wales who ranged in age 45 to 49 for a 10 years period. The men with the lowest frequency of orgasms were found to have twice the risk of death from many causes, heart attack in particular.

The researchers concluded that the men with the highest frequency of orgasms had a 50% reduction in mortality rates (close to the same reduction seen with eating fruits, vegetables and exercising everyday). What happens if you are one of those men who decide the way to get your daily orgasm is to hit the clubs with someone new each night? well you may lose the benefit. part of the sex benefit to a man's health is the "closeness he shares with his partner".

Couples who talk about their sex lives and explore together have greater sex lives. Although the reasons for sex vary for women and men, the fact is both women and men should have sex to stay healthy and contented in their relationships. For both men and women, sex is a sure cure for depression, stress and coping with the life's difficult situations.

Erectile Dysfunction?

Many men suffer from a common condition that can be both a symptom of existing diabetes and a warning sign that they may be at increased risk to develop diabetes. This condition, known as erectile dysfunction (ED), affects up over 150 million men worldwide. Some men will ignore the fact that they have ED and others do not realise that they have erectile dysfunction because of the confusion and uncertainty about the actual definition of the condition.

Many men believe that ED occurs when they cannot get any erection, but, in fact, the earliest symptom of erectile dysfunction occurs when a man has difficulty being able to keep or maintain a firm erection. Recognising this early symptom of ED (poor maintenance of an erection) could empower men to be proactive about their health, leading to earlier detection and better management of medical conditions like diabetes.

Recent research has shown that men with ED are twice as likely to have diabetes. In fact, ED is three times more prevalent and can occur 10 to 15 years earlier in men with diabetes than in non-diabetic men. Damage to the nerves and arteries in the penis, a common complication in diabetes, is responsible to ED. Over time, if glucose levels are not managed, poor erectile function will persist and ED will get worse.

Common symptoms of diabetes are: Frequent urination, increased fatigue, excessive thirst, irritability, extreme hunger, blurred vision and unusual weight loss.
