Farewell on Valentine's Day

In these modern days sometimes we celebrate events without even knowing the reason why it exists in the first place. It's like the story of monkeys in the cage (if you heard bout that, never mind if you don't). I'm one of those people and overheard why Valentine's day exist from the radio. Basically St. Valentine is a priest who refused Roman Emperor Claudius 2's law ordering young men to remained single so that they'll become better soldier. Valentine however covertly perform marriage ceremony for young catholic men and been sentenced to death by the Emperor after it's been found out. Full story here.

This year Valentine's day is a bit special for me. It's my farewell day to my beloved colleagues as i'll be leaving them (ahem, *to a new company*). Though it's just a short period with them, they treat me very good and supportive though sometimes some of them tend to behave abnormally (you know who am i talking about). Really have fun during my tenure here.

Sometimes things doesn't enough with just that. A lot of other aspects has it shares of important. I'm regret that things didn't worked out and have to move on. But at least i got the chance to know these great peoples. Hope we can have the chance to work together again in the future!

My Girlfriend Ryoko Hirosue?

I was surfing the web, reading some blogs and i came across this interesting stuff from kennysia blog. We always talk among our own group of friends who looked similar to whom and we laugh our heads off when they're matched with someone hideous or funny. Well, here's some easy ways to get all the similarity faces without cracking our brains for practically anyone with a copy of their head shot photos.

I tested it out eventually with available photos that i have hold possession of. Me and my girlfriend. and i got myself this.....


Highest percentage for kp, Ryoko Hirosue? hmm..... didn't know that i've a Japanese artist looked alike gf.


Second highest score, Son Ye-Jin. a Korean artist? i think i'm kinda lucky huh.


As for me, dang! i got Leslie Cheung? damn... i'm no gay man.... maybe the second score is better though i don't know who is him.


Second highest score.

It's pretty fun and you could test it out yourself at http://www.myheritage.com . When you're bored to death and got nothing to do maybe you can check it out. Just for fun though.

Peace.

Public Mindset

Here i am, sitting in front of my big bulky crt monitor practically doing nothing on a Friday night. A lots of people said that we should go out get some life or at least do something rather than staying at home.

Well... a lots of people tends to think that we should follow the norms so that we won't looked weird or be more acceptable to the mass peoples. True, to some extends such as you can't dig your nose in the public or do something illegal. Got what i mean? But sometimes peoples asked why do you
eats all you vegetable and then the meat, those kind of things. This is really over the board as WHY should one person MUST follows a specific flows or ways? Maybe it's our Malaysian education system that implants this mindset to our brains. I do not mean that other countries do not have this issues, but not until these level i guess. We start follows the "obeying instructions" thing from day one since we started our primary till the end of our secondary/form 6. We're not brought up in a environment whereby we need to think then act, but do what have been told. Over times, these is how we're being shaped into. And these is why we're lacking compare to other developed countries. What amazed me so much is that WHY our government failed to notice this critical point and do nothing to at least improves a little to our education system from time to time? *shaking head in disbelief*.

Introducing English as the medium to be used for science and maths do count as some improvements made by our education minister, but that does not improve on the critical aspects which is the ways people do things and think. It's true that mastering English would helps, but you still can't think creatively or have people to think that they need to provide solution rather than wait for instructions. Often we see that those who scores high marks does not necessary successful after they're graduated. And this shows that the education system does not reflects true potential of a students and this is wrong.

All these will directly affect us all and affect the country as well. Even the smallest things. Peoples in this country have been suppress and unable to perform to their maximum potentials. Sad thing eh...? but we're not in position to do anything but can only write it out here :)

Read a lots and question on everything, and we might stands a chance to makes things right again.
