UTAR's Sports Carnival
I took part in Captain's Ball and also Dodge Ball. Hmmm.. Guess what? I had never play any of these games before! Not only me but most of my teammates too! Oh well, who cares? We were there for fun.
To cut it short, for both the games, my teams won 2 games and lost the third match. It was the match to qualify us to the semi-final. FYI, my teams were made up of males and females. For some of the opposing teams, they have all males, mainly. My teams are great, aren't they? Just imagine that those opposing teams were playing so rough, the girls in my team still dare to charge to those "beasts" in order to win! They really made great effort. One guy in my team got his toe broken a few weeks back (and still under recovery )but he still joined us for the games. I can see some of the people like Dr Tai, Weng Hong, Dzi Liang all, quiet in class but they are real sportmen here on the battle field.
We really enjoyed the whole process. There is one match, Dodge Ball, we did not lose actually. Everyone around saw what actually happened. Referee was bias, opponent's player was faking( and everyone else hate this guy, cause he cheated a lot and referee DIDN'T SEE ). We named him the RED 7. This guy gonna be looked down forever in his life in UTAR as long as those who saw what he did still there. Padan muka! Fake some more lah!
We got so many injured teammate, keep on substituting. Non-stop. I really pity them and I respect them all at the same time, for being really spiritful to fight till the end even if they were badly injured. *Bow Bow* Especially to Weng Sheng and Dr Tai, not forgetting all my fellow teammates and our supporters! Thank you! Thank you!
From my eyes, I can see that people who we seldom talked to, now playing as a team, we still can act together very well, so much of good coordination. Amazing! Really. That's the only words that I can use to describe my feelings. They all worked really hard and did their very best! I'm really touched now.. Feel like dripping a tear or two. Haha.
Today, I did things that I never dare to do. There were a few things but I could only remember one because everything happened so fast. The one that I remembered was, I was the goalkeeper for my team. The ball was shot at me. I thought of doing something else to stop the ball. But, my body did something else. I bend down my knees, shiftly, I jump out from the place that I should be at, grabbed the ball, rolled a few rounds on the ground before I stand up. That's the best saving to me on this very day! Of course, to me only lah! Let me tell you something. Martial arts really helps. All those training that I've been through like how to fall safely, I made use of them. And that is why I'm not physically injured, except for my back, one stupid guy landed on my back. It hurts a little till now but not very bad. Hopefully tomorrow I can still stand on my feet.
Ahhh... What a great day. It has been a while since my last exercise. I put everything I got into it. I love this kind of feeling where everybody is working their very best, towards a goal. Everybody listens to command, backup each another, with the never ending fighting spirit!

I Just Can't Believed That We Did That!
Took a deep breathe. Amazingly, they both joined me for the countdown. "3,2,1,JUMP!"
"POOB!", the jumping was done, followed by a burst of laugh among three of us. Haha! I just can't believe that I'm apart of the 600 millions who were trying OUR very best to restore the Earth's condition. Did you jump? I wonder.
World Jump Day @ “跳地球”日
台灣‧改善暖化現象
6億人20日“跳地球”

(台灣訊)來吧!為了改善地球現象,6億人一起“跳地球”吧!
為了改善全球暖化,德國藝術家勞史曼成立網站,號召6億人在格林威治時間7月20日上午11時39分13秒(大馬時間20日晚間7時39分13秒)一起跳,希望可以讓地球軌道移位,離太陽遠一點。
這項號召獲得熱烈響應,登記參加者已有5億9800多萬人。
雖然如此,持異議的大有人在。有人認為改變地球軌道太冒險,有人擔心日曆可能得改寫,更有人懷疑:這麼多人真有辦法算準時間同時跳起來嗎?
台灣大學物理系主任張慶瑞表示,地球與太陽距離約1億5000萬公里,即使6億人同時在同一地點從1公尺高度往下跳,大約只會使地球與太陽距離增加“0.015”奈米,大約是氫原子半徑的一半,這樣的距離,連肉眼都看不出來。 (星洲日報/國際‧2006/07/19)
Taiwan - Improving The Green House Effect
600Million people in "World Jump Day"
updated:2006-07-19 19:10:59 MYT
(Taiwan) Come on! To improve the Earth current condition, let us all 600 million people jump together!
In the order to improve the condition on Earth, Germany artist Rosmane* astabilished a website, calling in 600 million people to jump together on Greenwich dated at 20th July, 1139 hours and 13th second (Malaysia timing is July 20th 1939 hours 13th second), with the hope of making the Earth move away from the Sun a little bit.
Many has responded to his calling and about 598million people has already signed up to join his "jump".
Even so, there are many opposing parties around. Some thinks that it is very dangerous for the Earth to move out from it's orbit; some afraid that they might have to change the calender; some people even wondered if it is possible to make so many ppl to jump up together at the same time.
Supervisor Zhang Qing Rui* of Physics stream from University of Taiwan stated that, the distance between the Sun and Earth is about 150 million kilometres, even if 600 million people jump from the height of 1 metre at the same time, it will only added about 0.015nm** to the distance in between, which is roughly half the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Such small distance can't even be seen by naked eye. (Sin Chew Jit Poh/ Reuters - 2006/07/19)
*Translated names
**nm is the unit of measurement for length, 1nm is about the size of some virus
Well, funny isn't it? I never knew that I'll do some kind of translation like this. Wanna jump together? I hope you guys get to read this before running out of time to do so. Note that the mandarin article is the original while the one in English is from me. I failed to find the English article so, you-know-la.

Democratic? LMAO!!!
Well, a few days back, a society in UTAR, which I was in, had an AGM to choose the new board members. Ok, it's an AGM, it's my duty to be there isn't it? Like normal thingy, there goes the speeches, bla bla bla. FYI, the old board is really not well organised. The Prez and Vice quarreled during the meeting itself, in front of everybody. Isn't that embarrassing? They fought like nobody's business, just like no one there looking at them. That wasn't the main thing.
Our society was "divided" to 2 clans, name it Y and Z. I am in the Y. Here comes the BIG thing. The voting session. Guess how they chose the committee members? They just name 3 nominees each from both clans, and there you go. 6 committe members. Later they moved on to Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary. Here come the President position. I casted my vote to Clan Z's nominee. We vote for who we think is capable, didn't we? Later on, it turned out that he won, Clan Z's nominee.
"Why did you vote for them?", asked Asshole A*. I explained to him that the voting session itself is not fair at all! Those assholes said that, whatever happened, they must let Clan Y get the Prez. Obviously, so-called-my-clan's members are outnumbered the other party. We can win in every single position. So why do we do the voting for? For fun? Just to show that you all are DEMOCRATIC? Pluuease la..
"We must get these two position. Treasurer and President. So that we know the flow of the money and we have the say. I can know where the money all went as well!", said Asshole B*. I didn't say back anything. Deep in my heart : So? When you get these positions last year, Clan Z not worried la? Or I should say, why must them worry? Or, more appropiately, why are you worrying where the money will go? UTAR is very strict about where each single cent in UTAR went to. How they want to cheat the money? Does all this not make any sense to you at all?
To make this even more pathetic, these people are over their twenties and guess what, Psychology students. Great? Hell ya! They are so immature, so so so so childish. Board members are supposed to sit down and talk, to discuss, not to suspect each other and draw a border line with people from the other clan. I just don't know what all these assholes are thinking. And I just don't understand why I keep bumping into these kind of people this year, especially. Don't know why. Is this a test from Him? To test my patience towards these people? He knows!!!
I'm not going to step back because you all are pressuring me in a way. No way. Try me. Let me warn you in advance, if you happened to read this, don't make me mad. You'll regret it. But worry not, there's still a lot of things that you assholes can do to irritate me. Just wait till the volcano erupt.
*Asshole A = Treasurer and Asshole B = President, the committe members for 2005/06
Amazing, isn't it?
Is This Me??
What has happened to me? Why am I like this? Am I going to fail it again? No I'm not! I won't want to experience it again. True, I always say this to myself, and yet, I'm still the lazy me. What can I do to get rid of it? Anyone?
I can feel that I'm struggling in the quick sand of laziness. I try my best all the time to get out from there. Everytime when I tried to fight back by doing some studies, I sank faster, by the irritants, distractions around me. I sank faster and faster. In great desperation for a strong helping hand, pull me out from this mess.
I'll do my best now! I need Your helping hand. I already stick my hand out. Just pull it... Please..Please..Please... Be strong, Buttercup!
