Educating others? Hrm..?

Sometimes..
There's no use trying to educated people..
Who doesn't want to be educated..
No matter how ignorantly stupid they appeared to be,
And no matter what information you try to share with them,
They brushed you off like a tick on their body,
Not knowing they are being a pest of the world..
By ignoring the fact that they need to be educated.
All you can do is..
To feel sorry for them..
Since they are not feeling sorry for themselves,
Thats the most you can do for such ignorantly imbeciles.

I've met a lot of such people,
At the same time..
I am blessed to know people who savour every bits of knowledge given to them...
Sad to say that,
These people are mostly adults or some other elder people I came across with.
As for the people of my age?
There are a handful..
At the same time..
I can't help but to notice,
That there are a lot of them that,
Prefers to live an ignorant life which all involves me, myself and I.

I am not trying to say how good am I just because I will never want myself to be as ignorant as some people appears to be,
Everything new to me are what I call it knowledge,
And it'll comes handy regardless of what I want to do later in the future.
However,
I can't feeling sorry and disgusted knowing how ignorant some people are.

That reminds me,
Reading an article based on gender bias,
Which obviously,
Our dearest Malaysia,
Practised that trait till today..
True there are some families that let the girls do all the housework,
While the guys have their way of running away from house chores,
(Thank gawd we weren't raised like that!)
But I must say my brother might tend to go out of control,
Strutting his way at home,
Only wash his own dishes after dinner,
And leave the rest to me to help my mom out with it..
Then again,
Looking at my dad helping out in most of the house chores,
Made me realize that..
The gender bias thing isn't really practised in my family..

That doesn't make me unaware of some families,
Who raised the girls up in such a way that,
The men are not to do house chores,
But the women should do them for the men..
I have friends dad's who doesn't do the cooking,
Apparently its a women's chore hence its not for them to do it,
Washing dishes, looking after crying babies and educating the children,
Are what they put it as "women's responsibility"
So may I ask,
What is the use of men sharing their life with their other half,
When marriage is all about sharing your life with your other half?
That includes helping with the house chores, looking after the children and etc..
Indeed some men might say that,
Women's place belongs to home and the kitchen,
And men's place is outside the world,
Working their way in the world,
Helping themselves with the opportunities outside..

Thats the old fashioned way of how men will think about women,
I do know about that,
But there are still men,
A lot of them I must say..
Who still have that perception of women..
Not having their place in the world,
Which leads to domestic violence, sexual abuse, harassment, rape..
Like if women really have the place in this world,
Where is the respect for them?
Men are so critical about how women carry themselves, what is in their mind, and not forgetting their speeches.

It all sum up to the whole gender bias issue...
Unless women have the courage to speak out,
And not let themselves being pressurized into condoning to "the nature's way"..
A difference could be made.

Oh noes!

Just logged into BB7 since I suddenly thought of my Moral Studies test,
The notes are posted there anyway so I got it from student portals,
Then I decided to check to see if my History lecturer posted anything..
On our next BIG ASSIGNMENT,
And surprise surprise,
He did.

"The West and the World Exposition will provide students with an opportunity to create a visual presentation on a particular aspect of the course. Students are required to select a topic from the many themes, events, concepts, and people discussed in the Legacy textbook. Students are strongly encouraged to choose a topic that they feel passionate about. Individual requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis."

Which is supposed to be good right?
I mean I am supposed to be like..
Thats incredibly awesome!
I can finally do something that I am passionate about..
Then again,
When I read through the,
Lists of "Rules of Regulations",
My History lecturer listed down for us..
Its more like a guide actually..
One statement caught my attention,
"Students are required to work in groups of two"

Right.
I have no problem with working in a group,
But I havta figure out who is willing to work with me,
On the subject that I am
passionate about
Oh boy!
However,
He gave us a few interesting subject to consider..
"Global phenomena’s and global connections. How did sports such as Cricket and Soccer become so popular at an international level?"
"Why didn’t another group of people colonize and conquer the world? Why didn’t China set out to explore?"
"Why did Britain “sleep”? Why did Britain appease Hitler and allow him to rise to power?"

That reminds me..
I haven't been doing any reading for my History just yet>.<
My attention has been dedicated to Biology this break..
And I feel bad about pushing History aside..
Looks like I gotta get myself back on track with my reading,
I didn't even managed to finish reading any good reading materials this break.
Oh well..
But man,
The dateline given for that assignment is..
Within 2 weeks time?
Eek!
To come out with my research question..

PS: I have a feeling that things are gonna be pretty interesting..

Autism : The Musical


I watched..
Autism : The Musical..
A documentary based on autistic kids,
And their struggles besides knowing how is it like being a parent to a austistic child,
It was a really inspiring documentary I must say.
There are scenes that touches my heart..
Even trigger me into thinking the whole concept of acceptance..



It was a project from "Coach E"(Elaine Hall) who adopted a child,
Namely, Neal who is austistic.
She was the founder of The Miracle Project..
And she tells us her story about having a austistic child,
Raising him up and stuff..
And having to deal with his tantrum.
An austistic child tends to shut themselves away from the world,
The people around them..
For that, Neal speaks with a computer where he has to type his speeches on it for it to communicate for him..





Wyatt is one of the character in the documentary.
He seemed more astute than some other kids in the documentary,
Besides Henry...
I have a soft side for this lil kid here,
Like what he has to say and stuff..
Are mostly pretty thoughtful..
He speaks about bullies from his school,
And how frustrated he is when people can't seemed to accept him for who he is,
There's a scene in the documentary where his mom asked him how was his day in school,
And he was like,
"100% of them are retarded in my class."

Obviously you guys will be like, o.O
Okay..
Thats how an austistic kid should say about his peers around him..
Since austistic children are always in their own world,
Then again,
He is good at reasoning things out,
He mentioned about why he thinks his classmates are 100% retarded,
Because they spat strings of insults to his face,
Just so he's different.
He knows that he is one of those kids,
Who has the tendency to drift to their own world..
However,
He said he does that because..
He felt lonely and nobody is there to talk to him,
And he likes to have people around him..
He loves being with people,
But people just don't understand him.

He's funny.
Besides being really good with his speeches..
The choice of words he uses can blow you away..
Thinking that a kid of his age could speak like that.
I like Wyatt=)




Henry.
He is one of my favourite character too,
Well I actually like everyone of them in different ways,
As for Henry,
I like him for his field of interest,

"Henry has Asperger syndrome, which is known as 'high-functioning' autism. Kids with Asperger tend to be gifted or highly intelligent in specific areas. In Henry's case, he has a photographic memory for all things about reptiles and dinosaurs."

He can go on ranting about his field of interest
,
(which is obviously dinosaurs and reptiles)
Like a real expert!
This lil kid is really something,
However,
Kids of his age couldn't take his rants on dinosaurs and reptiles,
You know what kids love..
Kids love computer games, guns, Play Stations, Nintendo..you name it,
You sure knows what kids love,
Thus its rather strange for a kid..
Like Henry to go on ranting about reptiles and dinosaurs all the time,
When kids are prone to listening to their peers showing off their new games,
Or perhaps any field trips their parents took them to..

Henry is an inquisitive child.
He speaks right from his heart,
For that I like him being so ever sincere with his speeches,
In fact,
I think austistic children are all very sincere with their speeches=)




Adam!
You might look at him as a spoilt brat,
Who wants things according to his way,
He doesn't like changes,
Like any other austistic kids,
He tends to drift off to his own world,
When you expose him to new things,
Nevertheless..
He is one kid who has a leadership quality,
Which is rather hard for you to miss that personality coming from him..
He's confident about what he likes,
Which is classical music,
He plays the cello and he plays it beautifully..

He has the temper,
Which is really hard for his mom to put him together,
Like I'd mentioned,
He wants things to go according to his ways..
But being a kid,
You know how flexible kids are,
Just as long as you hit some sense into them..
He will learn to cooperate when he needs to..

My sister however,
Finds him annoying.
And at certain parts of the documentary,
Looking at his ways and how he screams and wails,
When things don't go according to what he wants,
I went like..
WTF?

But he's a nice kid...
You should see him with the girls,
He loves chasing girls!XD


Last but not least,
Lexi.
She is beautiful in so many ways..
She has a good voice,
When she sings,
She touches your heart..
Her mom, Hillary couldn't come to terms about her disorder when she first knew about it,
Hillary was in denial..
She was depressed when her daughter shuts herself away from her,
However,
She managed to pull herself together,
For the sake of her daughter,
And so what she can for her daughter,
To make Lexi received the sense of belonging.

Not very productive

Gawd!!
My day isn't very productive today,
In fact,
It is not productive at all!!
Its Friday and Friday seemed to give me that feeling of wanting to push things aside,
And be all laid back..
(If you get what I mean there)
So yeah,
I woke up in the noon..
And for that I havta drag myself up from bed.

Head over to Klang Club since I havta help Yee Wern with the montag,
I missed lunching with my girlfriends,
Since I had my appointment with Yee Wern before Davy dearest called me out,
Sigh!
If only I received the phone call from Yee Wern much later>.<

So yeah,
I went for a jog with Chai in the evening..
Even walked my dog..=____="
Went hyper and managed to drive my lil sis crazy.
Since I was having this dessert cravings in me..
(I know! Its been ages since I went nuts!)
I had desserts in Jet Cafe with Chai and my siblings..


Mocha hazelnut ice blended(I love this!)


My sis ordered ice creams







Came back and stared at my Biology notes,
Try to get things to make sense..
It does make sense.
But I can't seemed to get myself doing all the reading..
So yeah..
My day isn't productive..
And to think that I have like 2 days left for my so called "Raya break"
Urrgh!!
Not good.


And I didn't even managed to read up my History=/



All you ever wanted to do is trust someone to always be around
You've had a lot of lessons to learn from
Some of them hit you so hard

PS : Good job Shrimp!!^^ And I guess the best thing to say is, you deserve that=p

Its almost 6am and I am up


Yeap.
That's the time now...
And I am still up working on my Biology notes..

I've lost my Biology note book.
Which is like my bible..
I don't know how it can go missing,
I remember having it in my bag,
But the other day when I wanted to revise Biology,
Its not there anymore.
Feeling super frustrated,
I havta redo everything again.
Thank gawd I have some of the backup notes with me.

But its such a hassle to redo everything,
Drawing the diagrams,
Making them neat and colourful and stuff..
I am almost done with it though^^

Its Wednesday already,
And I havta remind myself to do things at a faster pace..

My table however,
Is in a MESS!



I guess I'll havta reorganize things later when I am done with my notes...

Dinner with Shrimp and Chai

Went out for dinner with Chai and Ju Lin,
Our driver, namely Ju Lin took us to Bukit Tinggi for dinner..
With the help of Chai leading the way..Xp
Since Ju Lin has a bad sense of direction like I do..



Short people=)

Only can see half of her face in the mirror..

But we short people rawk socks!^^


Has dinner in Papa Rich=p

Suddenly thought of Mei Shan mentioning about "Papa rich"


Chai showed us one of his picture of him looking "cute"..

Ju Lin blurted out porn star when she saw that photograph of Chai..Xp

For some reason she thinks Chai looks like a porn star in that picture..





We went for dessert in a dessert restaurant..

And gave each other "how to give a cute pose" to the camera lesson..Xp






Shyt. Chai looks darn ghey in this pic!

Hahahaha!=X



Ju Lin aka Shrimp..

As usual.. being her super restless self..Xp



Ahahahah! She looks damn cheeky in this..Xp


I know your eyes are scarily HUGE but you don't havta stare you know..

Then again, this pic looks as if she wanna fart but she's trying not to=X






Ju Lin potong!XD



Who is cuter?

Ju Lin looks darn cute!

Hahhaha!! Like a little kid=p




I had a blast with them!
Ju Lin's randomness lightened up the atmosphere..XD
And Chai's gheyness!
Lolz!
And mind you!
I am not a grown up just because I start going to Starbucks=.=
Ju Lin and Chai will get what I mean by that,
Since the two clowns are the ones who came out with that!

And no.
I learn how to spaz from Ju Lin...
Hahahaha!

On our way to Papa Rich,
Out of the blue,
Ju Lin apologized for staring at the traffic light which turned yellow..
Since Chai asked her a question and her mind was wandering..=.=
While she was DRIVING!
Hahahahha!!
Her mind actually wander when she's driving!o.O
But I got back home in one piece..
(She's a safe driver and she drove me around a couple of times)
Only thing is her mom's MyVi looks spacey when she drove it..Xp
I mean when she's sitting on the driver seat..
She looks tiny!=)

We came out with the theory that short people tend to think faster,
Hence when short people get together,
They'll have more things to talk about..

We rawk being short!=D
Too bad she'll be going back to Kedah this Friday=(
And will be coming back again in December!

*wails*

We go shopping in December kay??=p
Though I know its rare for you to go shopping,
LOL!!


PS : I love hanging out with these two people the so called "retards" and "adults"
