I feel like blogging. Just because I haven't been doing so for like ages and I'd really like to type something. I've got so much in my mind but yet I always hesitate on putting them down because of the fact that there are so many known audience to this blog and I have not got over this self-conscious thing.
But I'm pretty good here. Alive and well and nothing much. Should I go for something more? This year has already thrown a few bricks at me, should I really wish for more? Here I am, a nineteen-year-old brat sitting in front of the library computer wondering why he feels devoid of something huge and much more bigger.
Moving my own butt is just so damned hard. And it just got harder these few days.
I wonder what do people normally do when they are alive. Ponder ponder ponder.

Permute and Randomize
Imaginations run like a child's
Ever so fun, ever so wild.
Permutations and random thoughts
Argh screw the oughts and ought nots
I'm having the time of my life
Even though you're not meant to be my *inserts appropriate word that rhymes*
XD

Weapons of Rationality: Evidence for Evolution
The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution - Richard Dawkins
Should I say "I can't wait to get hold of this book!" or "I can't wait till the day when the fundamentalists finally get some sense knocked into their skull."?
Anyway watch this video on the introduction of the book:
No dramatic sound effects. No emotions involved. No scare tactics (eg. A Letter From Hell). Just pure reasoning laid bare for any acid tests. Enjoy.
I'm tired of "You are approaching it intellectually, but you have to feel it emotionally." because it is synonymic to "Be a little stupider, you'll get it.".
btw a related post by me: Evolution vs. Creationism

Malaysia
Before I forget, how come no mention of ISA or the Sedition Act when it comes to angry protests involving cow heads and Hindu temples? While for the civil discussion and questioning of certain sensitive issues..................Well. Enough said.
edited: oops. none of the politicians mentioned it, but the judge of this case did =)

Science and Mathematics in English
I must say, many would think that we could improve our command of the English language by continuing the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English. I strongly disagree, because those who had gone through the subjects in BM did not have a very good command in the BM despite having Science and Mathematics taught to them in BM.
This whole policy mooted by Tun Mahathir was for the sake of practicality, not to improve on any particular language. *click* When you study Science and Mathematics, you learn the concepts, hardly the language. I don't deny any complement to the grasp of the language but it is a very minor complement.
So, to reverse this policy because of the failure to improve the standard of English is nonsense. It just shows that the teaching of the English Language subject has failed, why not remove the teaching of English then? And as I've said, this policy wasn't meant to improve our children's grasp of English, it is because most new discoveries, articles, journals etc. are all written in English. Not just that, there are hell lots of terms unique to Science and Mathematics, and they are increasing rapidly, it just makes so much more sense to learn them in the language that they were written in.
As for the second reason to the reversal of the policy - the lagging rural kids, we really shouldn't run slower just so that the last person can catch up. No pain, no gain.
Oh well. I guess "no pain, no gain" doesn't exist in BM. That probably explains.

- Looking back. Now I know what is relief.
- Hiding behind a "don't ask don't tell" stand doesn't even help a tiny bit.
- What the hell is wrong with you all.............breaking up here and there.......
- Why bother making earth, heaven and hell. Just make the bloody heaven instead.
- Why do you take such pains into hiding yourself? This is NOT funny.
- Sheesh. Things that I do when I stay up late. It doesn't even feel like 4.30am now.
- Let's fix this whole damn screwed up world.
- Don't just mention the obvious, everyone can see that.
- Is it impossible to have an ideal world?
- Probably here's not the ideal place to build Utopia, it crumbles rightaway.
- Lack of contractors and engineers, too many architects I guess.
- Do I sound angry?
- Am I angry?
- No. Cause I'm typing this with my mouth opened with a blur look at the screen. It's dark and I'm trying to touch type.
- Many a times, you give. But it takes too damned long to see what you receive.
- There are even times of deficit when you just don't feel nice at all
- Funnily not WHEN you're giving. WTH.
- Argh what the hell. Getting selfish and dissatisfied with the current situation in the maze. Who moved MY Cheese??!
- Joker wants to rob a bank, hires some punkheads, gets the robbing done. Punkheads get punked.
- That's TEAMWORK for you. That's COMMON OBJECTIVE for you.
- Oh yeah. Those punkheads even punked at each other. That's FRIENDS for you. Bravo.
- I shall settle to the rare little pleasures in my life now. Sleep! One less person sleeping is another sad face in the world!
- bye.
