My computer's currently battling 6 (or above in the days to come) spywares. Although I have installed free antivirus software, they just kept coming! So much for me playing game during the holidays... Spywares lag my computer, and I totally despise them!!!
Yesterday, I went to the Bookfest held by Popular in Suria KLCC, Hall 1-5. So friggin' cold~!!! Managed to buy 9 books; I could read all day baby~!!! Well, not really... STPM comes first as usual. But once that's over~ heheh... I'm so free that I could swim with my books.
Truth be told, I was hoping to bump into anyone of you over there~

Colours?
From The Star :
If white is such a distasteful colour , why don't we make everything black? Black shouldn't cause any issues I guess? Wearing black to me is like baking yourself in an oven. It's extremely hot if you're under the sun with all the black cloth covering you. Oh , black made you hot? Guess black is not the right colour after all...
Kuala Lumpur : A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.
“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Minirah Bahari said in a statement.
“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.
In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.
They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.
Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”
“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.
“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.
However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men.
“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.
“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.”
I find the claims to be pretty amusing. It's like saying 'I'm in white. Come do me?' People who made the comments. Out of all things , they decided to attack on uniforms. I believe nobody will ever asked to be raped. For normal people that is. Even if girls are in white , doesn't mean guy will be aroused. We have better things to think about at times. Like how Man Utd beat Chealsea? Their jobs? Their outings with friends? Games?If white is such a distasteful colour , why don't we make everything black? Black shouldn't cause any issues I guess? Wearing black to me is like baking yourself in an oven. It's extremely hot if you're under the sun with all the black cloth covering you. Oh , black made you hot? Guess black is not the right colour after all...

JPA new policy....
It has been a year since i've gotten JPA scholarships..and recently, JPA scholarship results were released.. on the 11th of May 2008, and it's really great to hear that they've increased the number of grants by 200, making it a total of 2,000 this year.
Kudos to those who've made it through - you're the creme de la creme. It's like winning a jackpot, some might say. But to those who didn't make it, do not fret. According to Tan Sri Ismail from the Public Service Department, from this year, anyone who gets in to an Ivy League (America), Oxford/Cambridge (UK), and the Group of Eight in Australia, will be granted PSD scholarship (in specified fields such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering, Biotech, etc...). Can't believe it? Read again. I was pretty shocked too when I first read it. Full article here.I can't help but feel a little skeptical about it. I mean, of course it is good that the government is offering more opportunities to students who otherwise cannot afford an oversea education. If you're not offered PSD at Spm level, the option before you now is work your ass off in ALevels and secure yourself a place in those Unis. Meaning, you actually get to chose! You have a chance of choosing which country you're aiming for. Ok, maybe not the Ivies or Oxford or Cambridge, but the Group of 8? We all know that it's fairly easy to get admitted. And there's always IDP, who does practically everything for you to make sure you get admitted, as long as you pay them the cash.The Group of 8 in Australia consists of
University of Adelaide
Australian National University (ANU)
University of Melbourne
Monash University
University of New South Wales (UNSW)
University of Queensland
University of Sydney
University of Western Australia
As long as you're admitted to one of those, the scholarship is yours. Isn't it a lil unfair to previous scholars like us? I'm fortunate enough to be sent to the States, but how about the others who were sent to Indonesia or some less desired destinations? They don't even have the opportunity to chose. There's no either or.I find this rather ironical. People who can get into Ivies/Oxbridge most probably don't even need PSD scholarship. Most of the Ivies are need blind, meaning even if the applicant applies for financial aid, his chance of getting admitted will not be affected. And of course, private Universities like those listed also offer merit-based scholarships. On the other hand, students who are less sound financially, who really need PSD, might be too poor to even attend ALevels.There's another option. According to the article,
"if you get into a local foreign university (a foreign university that has a Malaysian campus) - Nottingham, Monash, Curtin, and Swinburne - you are also eligible for a PSD scholarship."Ok, meaning,Ivies + Oxbridge + GO8 + Nottingham + Curtin + Swinburne. How difficult can that be?
Anyway, it's a good sign. So, if you don't get offered by the PSD overseas program, it's not end of the world. There are still alot of open avenues.

CALCULUSSS....
Our life can be consumed in so many ways and by so many entities. Well, the general larger-than-life examples would be cliche things like love, work, love, work, sex, love, work…….
But life can get pretty screwed up. Especially in INTEC.
This summer, I was proudly introduced to an life-changing rascal by the name Calculus. Her exterior is rather fat in relative terms. And f***ing heavy too. Not the ideal friend one has in mind right?
We started off pretty rough. Our first few dates didn’t go that well. I was too pushy I guess. But like a fair share of relationships, love sprung unexpectedly. I melted at heart and in the midst of absolute “lovey-dovey” blurness, we decided to stay committed.
BAD CHOICE.
She’s freaking demanding and has a ferocious appetite for attention. It wasn’t good enough that I willingly spent my first few hours dating her. She demanded for more. And as a gentleman (AHERM), I gave in. Soon from 2 hours stretched to 7. It drove me nuts. Even sex doesn’t take that long!
But the thing that wrenched an axe to my heart was the fact that she had been multiple-timing me all along. I spotted her dating several of my classmates. EVEN MY ROOMMATES WERE INVOLVED!! Male and female alike.
Ewww…….she’s definitely bi. But I digress.
Her name was floating in the air, captivating the minds of innocent adolescence, purging them to an eternal vituperative lashes of zombiefy-ing moments. She was the reason for everything. Every rush, every tears, every stress, every pain….. So ubiquitous the name is, exemplifying Shakespeare’s ”What’s in a name?” mystique.

Calculus is the “WORD” in American Degree Foundation Program. It even deserves the same pedestal as the all time infamous ‘Four Letter Word’. It’s a word that summarizes everything so effectively, leaving the persona with so little to explain. It’s highly versatile in usage. It’s an adjective, noun, adverb, verb etc.
Here are some few examples:
Verb: I am calculus-ing!!
Meaning: DON’T FREAKING DISTURB ME YOU CRAP POT!! CAN’T YOU SEE THAT I’M BUSY! I’LL BLAST YOUR BALLS IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN!!
Noun: This is calculus
Meaning: You are in deep shit man. Expect the worse…..
Adjective: Gosh….calculus….
Meaning: Feeling perplex, insomniac, confused, lost, blur, tormented….. (pick one…on second thoughts..you can have all as well)

I wonder what would life be without calculus…..Quiz every Friday, Test next Tuesday……
Alright, gotta go to 7-11 to get some contraceptives.
Cause tonight, calculus and I are getting intimate.
DAMN YOU

Stimulation Of Senses
KTM is seriously hopeless. This morning the train was delayed for 4o minutes+. Daily occurrence. Very annoying. Bumped into Shashi on my way back in the evening. Can't believe I've been taking the stupid train for so long. If you heard this phrase - 'Gangguan Waktu Perjalanan' you must prepare yourself to wait the train for at least another 10 minutes+. The worse thing is that when the train is late, the train will be awfully packed. Human sardine. You'll experience the most amazing feeling in the world. All kinds of smell will be there. You'll be skin to skin with other passengers. All you can see will be the person standing in front of you and all you can hear is the sound of the train moving. Indeed an experience which stimulates all the senses in your body.
