Next update: Get Smart, 12/7/08.
I hope it'll be soon. Someone remind me if I forget. =)

I got my license! Finally!

YESSS! Hahaha, I finally got my license! Had been waiting for this moment for like, a year plus? hahhaa. Now I can officially drive! Well, not just yet cause I only will get my license this Friday! Which is 2 days from now! =D

Anyways, I shall blog bout yesterday. Just a short ones.

I took my driving test yesterday, Tuesday and on that day itself, I have test in my school as well! So yeah, right after the driving test, I went straight to school to sit for the test, Maths. Yeah, I wore my school uniform for the driving, the one and only one. haha

I missed the first paper and I got to stay back to sit for that paper. So I stayed back to do that paper from 1.15 to 2.45pm+. I left early. My initial plan was go for badminton til about 2+ then tuition @ 2.30pm. But I got to do that paper, so plan changed. I was suppose to meet Alice too after school in badminton then leave. But I told her that I got to do the paper, so she went for lunch with her friends and meet me at McDonald's when I'm done.

So when I'm done, I called her and she was in McD. On my way there, I met Ivan and I asked him to eat together in McD. He agreed. Met up with Alice there and we sat and ate. That was about 3.00pm. And usual Ivan, he talked some random stuffs, and one of it is about education. Then he suddenly came out with this "I" and "J" levels exam, you know like O/A levels? hahaha.

Yeah, he claimed that I/J levels is a very tough exam and everyone would employ I/J levels holders. Hahaha. And guess who's the "professor"? Well, it's non other than, Mr Ivan Ang, the creator! hahaha

He wrote down examples of the I/J level questions on a paper, I'm still keeping it, will post it up one day. =D. hahah.

So you see, the initial plan was, go for lunch and leave at 3.30pm for tuition the next class. But due to these interesting "talks", it was already too late. So yeah, I didn't go that day, ended up leaving McD about 5pm, yes I know it's super long. haha. But I just can't help it (you would be the same if you were me)...! =D
note: We talked about lotsa other stuffs too, that is just one if it. hahhaa

Anyways, some times we have to make last minute changes, no choice. haha

So yeah, one last word,
Alice, thank you so much for waiting for me and sorry to keep you waiting so long!
Ivan, I'm helping you to promote I/J levels k? Hahaha. Must give me some commission, deal? =D

p.s Wow, such a "short" post. I didn't knew it will turn out to be THAT "short". You know what I meant. hahaha.

I watched this. =)

Title:

The World Gone Mad

Dated: June 9, 2008

Hurricane Katrina. Tsunami in 2006. Sichuan earthquake. Cyclone in Myanmar. Droughts. Floods. Typhoons. One disaster after another, Mother Nature has launched an onslaught.

The world today is one that is crazy, dangerous, and unstable. Just look at the prices of oil; it nearly doubled in 2 years. Costing about USD 70 per barrel in 2006, it's now roughly USD139 per barrel. And as of now, I'm not so sure that the number has not risen.

Maybe the world's finally gone mad, and it's at its breaking point. I mean, 10 years ago you wouldn't have seen the possibility of this ever happening. I think it's the Earth's way of saying "Look, I've had enough of you destroying and plundering me. I need a break." Before anyone protests, please just take a look at what we are doing.

Factories release untreated waste into water in some countries, polluting the water and rendering it "dead". Life cannot survive in these waterways, and the people have one less source of clean water. Come'on, how hard is it to install something to treat that water?
For small savings and gains now, you harm everything else and would have to pay the price later. Of all the water on earth we just have 3% freshwater, and 2% is even locked in ice caps. How much of that 1% do you want to pollute before your eyes are open?

Then there's the greenhouse effect. We're releasing so much greenhouse gases in the air, the earth's warming up and the polar ice caps are shrinking each year. Yeah, I know that the 2% are locked there, and yippie, we have more freshwater! Wrong. Releasing more water into the oceans will destabilise the salinity balance of the oceans, which might lead to global freezing. Go search on the Internet and you can read all about it.

What I think is that the earth is in the process of renewing itself, in the sense that we have harmed and injured the earth so much that it is trying to heal itself. Maybe it sees us as viruses, and like white blood cells in our body, it's "destroying" what it thinks is a harm to itself. We have put so much strain on the earth, that now, it's strained. The population explosion, the want for more opulence, for more power, for more this and more that, it has put such a strain on the earth that it has to try to maintain some balance for it to sustain itself.

But having that train of thought doesn't make seeing such happenings any easier. For those who have been through and experienced the disasters, I can't say I feel your pain, because hell, no one can. It's only when you've been through it that you can acutely feel the pain and loss. What I feel, however, is sadness and sympathy for a fellow human being. I can't say I know the fear and loss one feels after being through such a tragic disaster, but then I can extend my hand and offer some help, as well as understanding. My worries and stresses over school work and deadlines pale in comparison to what has happened to you. Everytime I read a report of how so many died, or how someone has to lose a limb to save their life, I feel like crying. I know my feelings can never measure up to the extent of those who have been through it, I know. However, it is these feelings that make us humans, the dominant species on earth.

How I digress. But if I can say one thing that might come out of these disasters is how we can be more prepared for future occurrences. Also, in face of global warming and the skyrocketing prices of oil, I feel somewhat comforted that at least we are taking steps to preserve the earth. the Green Movement might not be new, but in light of the past few years, is gaining momentum. The papers place more prominence on addressing these issues, and governments are looking into reducing their greenhouse emissions. Previously unknown words like "carbon footprint" and "carbon offsetting" are now being bandied about, with people doing more for the environment.

Maybe we still stand a chance, and that we will last this generation, and the next, and the next. That's (somewhat) comforting, knowing that. Let's just hope it's not a case of too little, too late (which I think is not, if we act NOW).

Collage again! =D

Tadaa, hahaha. I suddenly have the urge to "collage" photos. =D. All thanks to Picasa.

Anyways, I'm back from Sibu Island! =D. The place isn't as I expected but it was fun! Traveling in a whole big group, convoy-ing (7 cars!!), 2 boats to bring us around, 8 rooms (if I'm not wrong), and 4 tables. hahaha. A total number of 31 including kids. Imagine that! hahaha.

The next island trip will be off to Redang! But east coast island cannot go during end of the year. The best time is NOW? or mid next year. =(. Hopefully SOON!
