The Speaker Issue

Thanks to the gift from evolution with voicebox at the upper part of trachea, human are too good to be given the ability to talk, supplement by tongue, mouth and lips of course. So it's not wrong to say that conquering the planet now are a large group of Speakers, who converse like nobody when young but then develop to speak like a pro eventually contributing to their family, society, even the world like some of them do presently.

Let's focus on people around you yourself instead of looking at the entire population of Speakers. For sure, characteristics vary by the type of Speakers, say Active Speaker voices out their concerns with good attempt providing boundless excellent viewpoints; Passive Speaker only speaks when necessary; Main Speaker represents idea by resembling a number of thoughts from Quiet Speakers whereas Loud Speaker spread info efficiently. So you can see these Speakers are under the branch of Good Speakers that do good, fit to bring constructive results, delivering things up the level. As for the Bad company, the body composed of Spoilt Speaker that never sound nice at every moment they open their mouth; Candy Speaker who loves flirting around; Hidden Speakers who dish the dirt...etc.

For some portion of the people, i'm not sure why don't they think before they talk, yes they do have brain but why the h*ll they talk like no brain, bringing in witless remarks, discrediting their self-value.. izit b'cz they deliberately do so to cheapen themselves or perhaps their brains are just a chunk of rotten inept folded tubes merely filling up the space inside the skull..

Okay nevermind let's move on to another category- Bow&Arrow Speaker. They have well-functioning brain but sadly they don't use it when talking, never care or put other people's feeling into consideration, throwing words that are likely to pierce through one's soul (on purpose? or not? ah don't care)

Personally, people i'm not comfortable with are those who make sarcastic remarks ALL THE TIME, bring up laughter using irony incessantly, prone to lashing out at the wrong time that are going to offend people around (i wonder if they realized)

Well listening without defending is almost my nature as long as they do not cross the line but when Cactus blunts out vitriolic words attacking Tender Flower, i'm more inclined to make a stand against the Cactus or remark that are conducive in balancing the Cactus's harsh nature or..... anything, just anything!.. as long as i get to watch the Flowers' back, cz you you're going to agree with me that it feels utterly bad to see our friends being offended and it even kills us to look at them being hurt and helpless don't ya.


It's all about remarks after all. An encouraging word can help a person to make through the day while a destructive word could scroll a person from high up the sky to deep down in the ground. Sometimes parents might not realized that their "no need to go la" may daunt their son/daughter; while a single phrase "where can?!" from a teammate could sabotage one's effort and confidence in the pursuit of excellence. You now see how powerful the impact is a word could convey, so be cautious of how and what you speak cz you can either help people to shake off sticky patch, or kill them by verbalizing words that are powerful enough to smash them into pieces.

So, speak life, not disaster.

Jacob's 'Run for Your Life'

Move and sweat! Keeping in contact with outdoor activity is almost a need to keep me fresh and energized, as if there were some kind of medication stimulant that only happens in natural environment to push everything to the back of one's mind. Try imagine, wearing sport attire, feeling the sunlight on ya face, kissing the fresh air, letting the breeze gently brush through ur hair (make sure without dandruff problem)..... waah so blissful so relaxing, don't ya feel the same as me- this is one of the best way to loosen up after some hectic living days?

Participating in Jacob's Walk of Life 2009 has been listed as one of my June's programme. So briefly i would just say that it's
not as efficient as last year, not as fun as last year (b'cz they didn't serve Oatmeal Apple anymore for breakfast =[ )



(they shd feel thankful for having me to help advertising their product ha!)


In short there's still much room for refinement. And as for the staff, i guess, they should have gone through hard time after the event for mis-organising their way of working that led to such mess and contributed to a part of the programme failure. Anyhow staff-staff yang disayangi, don't feel too bad k cz at least, you gained extra points for your personal life experience right.


Funny thing i found this morning was, people just couldn't help squeezing making their way through the crowd to the very front line before flag-off... halo this ain't run-to-win-the-prize competition k, as far as i know they never mentioned "wang tunai & hadiah-hadiah istimewa sebanyak RMXX,000,000 untuk dimeanangi" on advertisement right lol. Then just when they sounded the honk, people started running pushing each other, fighting to be no.1, doing their best dashing forward. Their moves like running at top speed overtaking each other were more like running when disaster strikes, running to save their own lives hahaha! it's no longer Jacob's Walk of Life in fact but Jacob's Run for Your Life!

So i have six more days to spend... Hey i'm in mood for studies i guess, feel like starting ma' 3rd semester already, since the strength and mind power are almost back ha!


Not to forget, a message to my Superman,
Happy Father's Day Dada!!! i love you incredibly much!

Term Break

Food taste so bland lately but things happened differently since last friday night. Everything looked so good so delish, even a cup of plain drinking water! Yeah finally i've finished my partial job of being a studying-machine, finished my exam! :D My taste bud is much more alive now! can even taste and estimate the amount of ajinomoto added by hawker into my pan mee soup lol.

So before the last and we shall call it the most tedious semester starts, letting our hair down is really a must to rebuild and restore our Liveliness which had been worn out by certain amount of tension during exam preparation all under restless condition. Hmm wonder if there's such system through which students can get their grades right after finishing the exam, more or less like car theory test, but since it's all essay questions so the checking setup must have super-high sensitivity and accuracy towards handwritings and the other hand students get to recognize their mistakes as soon as papers are given back for review only in a closed-room. Efficient huh' (aah can't wait for results)

Aaah feet are sweating, so everytime this happens i gotta remind myself these few things- i can't get down off my chair (cz i'll leave wet footsteps and make the floor sticky and dirty); or if i do so, i have to tip toe around to minimize the sweaty-footprint area =.= i can't walk fast with bare and wet feet afterall (they can make me slip anytime). Sounds bothersome doesn't it? (yae sometimes)


(ignore the background wording)


Anyway believe me, there's always good side for every disaster. Wet feet isn't such a bad thing actually, it's a good way to practice skating... (skating??) YES skating! not kidding wei. With almost constantly excessive sweaty feet, one can easily propel across the ceramic tile floor, dun believe me? yep, not everybody can do this. So some of you need not waste petrol, driving all the way out to Sunway Pyramid just for ice-skating, cz you can now do it at home--- Tile-skating!! :D Tile-skating prepares you directly private skating rink to embrace the sense of freedom and confidence while having cold wind (maximise ur home cooling sys) brushing your face, you can even play your favorite music in the background to enhance the ambience, you don't even need to purchase glove nor socks to do this, what's more, it's FREE!!! :D But again, not everybody can do so

*please note: when finished 'skating', obediently clean the floor with sponge mop k, ur mama's yelling is not my responsibility*

Sometimes i just couldn't understand why some people can't seem to value Friendship.
Shane is Eric's closest friend in school, until one day Shane received complaint from Samantha about his bad attitude towards work, there's no longer friendship between them, b'cz Shane though Eric had been badmouthing him (as Samantha mentioned that his attitude causes displeasure in his closest friend, Eric as well) The day after, Eric apologized and felt sorry for expressing the annoyance once to their friends who have the common idea
about Shane's poor attitude, but Shane doesn't seem to bother bout Eric's (the so-called betrayal) explanation, leaving Eric in cold by not even responding to Eric's warm Hi for almost each morning.

Apparently bad comments which come from the person who you thought you can trust the most is extremely hurtful, i of course agree up to a point, but mind you, the bad comment doesn't only come from one's lips, it's from MANY. Seriously have you ever thought of being introspective for at least a minutes and reconsider if there's really something wrong with you yourself. And for undefined reason, Shane shattered the faith, trust and the more-than-five-years Friendship.

No worries it doesn't happen to the blogger (cz her friends are all thoughtful, smart with mature thinking) but happened to a girl very close to her. I always feel deep gratitude for having all the great friends in this life, but i feel sorry at the same time that i couldn't help her. Let's just hope that something better will compensate her lost.

Holidays here i come! weeee-eeee!
