“Mouth is in our faces, I can’t stop them, and they can’t stop me.”

People always dreamed to be something or someone in their life. It could be anything! To the realistic and fantasy. Anything! But do they really pursuing their dream? Ask people around, do they achieved their dream? Do they already satisfied in their life? What is success means to them?

Another finding in my surfing session. A man aged 44 years old, will be making his 15th attempt to enter college this year! When is it? Its today! 7th of June 2011! He is known as 'the first iron head in China' for the number and determination of attempt to enter the college examination. He will be sitting with her son in the National College Entrance Examination. He is Liang Shi, a businessman (from a source saying that he is millionaire!), his first attempt to enter university was in 1983 and he is enrolled to the national entrance exam until 1988 but he failed all the examination.

Liang Shi had been working since 1990 and changing jobs (mechanist, timber jack, clothing and television vendor) before starting his own construction materials business in 1995. He is quite successful now with 200workers working under him last year! (the workers might be more than that now!) Beside the fact he changing his jobs before owning his own company, he also studying hard for the exam all these years but not obtaining enough marks to pass the exam. His dreams is to be admitted to Sichuan University to study in Math major.

His son is not quite happy with him for some reasons, maybe? But his wife is quite supportive with his effort.

“Mouth is in our faces, I can’t stop them, and they can’t stop me.”

"i have four sisters and brothers, and none of us is a college graduate. thus i think it's worthy of fighting for in realizing this dream for my family," liang shi was quoted as saying

"Whatever I do, I still take care of the family well, I did not neglect them and my business."

Although Liang Shi has failed in his past 14 attempts, he said: "I will not give up."

Asked if he was confident that he would pass this year, he said: "The revision did not go that well, but I will do my best!"

Think back people. Have you been this determined to achieve your dream?

For all students out there, how many time you have faced with the failures? How many times you get back and pursuing your target?

I feel that is just normal when you feel frustrated or sad when you failed. But don't drag it too long, get up and try again! There is nothing impossible in this world as long as it is realistic to achieve! Some people even prove to the world that impossible things can be made with hard work! For students, fail or didn't achieve your target is not an excuse for you to let it go. You still can try harder to achieve your target or dream as long as you are breathing and have the will! 

P/S: Thanks Liang Shi! You just make me inspired to do better in my next exam! I will be supporting your intention and hopefully you can pass the examination this year! Go for it! Its almost 2 am in the morning! Time to sleep. :D

Abused for not calling 'mom'?

      I was surfing the web and browse through some news. Its kind of silent night, my current room mate is already asleep. Certainly can't watch funny movies or anime, I will laugh like stupid person and disturb her sleeping. She need to wake up for internship work tomorrow. As for me, I need to wake up earlier for morning jog. It is important for the so called 'captain' me to set a good example to the rest of the team. But yeah, I'm not gonna sleep now. :p

     My late grandmother was quite a fierce lady. Not quite but sangat  fierce! My mother? Well, she is not so fierce but so hard-headed. I think I was the hybrid of this two lady. :P I'm growing up watching this two lady fighting every time they meet or even worst when there are issues arises. The fighting scene is not only limited to word-fighting. No need to elaborate. =.=" I'm close to my late grandmother because she is the one that raise me up since I was a baby and I only known my mother when I was 3 years old by coincidence and I swear I was totally speechless that time. I'm speechless, blur and just follow my mother and watching my late grandmother crying. It was very sad moment that people may thought only exist in drama. Not for me. I was in the middle, my late grandma (I call her Inak, means mother in Kadazan/Dusun language) and my mother was pulling my hand both side. Drama? I would call it reality. .............................

< stop with my childhood memory, enough for the opening>

     This post is written because of an article I found at www.dailychilli.com. It was about a 5years old girl that abused by her mom! Well, a lot of stories mother abuse her child with their own reasons. But her reason seemed to be ............(no words to describe it)....... She abused her 5 years old daughter for not calling 'mom'! In the first place, why she didn't call her 'mom'?

This 5years old girl named Linlin was returned to her parent home's April last year. She been living with her grandmother since she was a baby and didn't acknowledged her mom and refused to call her 'mummy'. Her mother feels annoyed about it and started to beat the girl since then. She have 9 years old sister and 3 years old brother. She was taken care by her grandmother since her mother had no time to watch her, working parents.

"She beat me everyday, with her hands, legs, sticks, hangers, bricks…," Linlin told reporters at her hospital bed on Wednesday.

Wang punched her daughter and fractured her rib bones. She also cut her with a pair of scissors and hit her hands with bricks.

"She was also found to be suffering from malnutrition," said Dr Ni Daolei, adding that her condition was stable now.

Her mother even beat with bricks? Thats really sound very nice huh? Punched her own daughter? Cut with a pair of scissors? Is she is mentally ill? And what her mother says about this?

"She ignored me, refused to call me 'mother'. She doesn't love me. See, I have never beaten her sister and brother," the 41-year-old Wang said.

Asked about the injuries, she answered bluntly: "They were certainly inflicted by me, I don't care."

"She doesn't love me?" How was supposed the 5 years old child to acknowledge her mother and love her when she is being taken care by her grandmother before? Maybe I don't know about how their family going, but I just can'y imagine how a mother can do these and not sorry for it? And another interesting fact? The mother is currently pregnant 7 month! She abuse her 5 years old daughter and carrying a baby in her belly? She doesn't afraid isn't it? The baby in her belly could have affected by it! She is arrested by the police but later was bailed out because she is pregnant. 

There is no story about the father, so I can't say anything about it. A concern neighbor surnamed Zhu that report this to the police.

"There was one time I saw the mother kicking Linlin until the girl landed outside the house.

"She crawled slowly to the door, then her mother stepped on her body several times. But Linlin dared not cry," he said, added the girl was given two meals a day.

"She ate a little bit in the morning, had no lunch and then ate the leftovers from the family at night," another neighbour said.

2meals a day?! Leftovers? Its really getting my nerves now! I can't believe this is happening in this world now.

The girls can be in trauma for this incident! It would affect her for a lifetime! Maybe she would never acknowledge the woman that so called her mother anymore. Who knows? 

P/S: Its only 5 years old and she didn't hesitate to beat her. Wait until she is 25 years old. Would her mother beat her for not calling her 'mom'? 

I'm really lucky and gifted because not abused in that way. 5 years old? Its a time when children are started to know and realized a it of their surrounding. I still can remember how my life is when I was 3 years old. I might be surrounded by a fierce and hard-headed women in my life, but this is just too much! I fight with them, but I love them so much. Its not only by words we can express love. Is she is too young (41 years old?!? My mom even younger than that when I was 5 years old!) to discover this? It would take some time for child to adapt their surrounding. And it can't be force through beating! Why can't the mother sit back and think 
about her action. That is not her first child and she is expecting another child soon. This is just too much.

I'd Lie In Front of The Train For ya?

Sound so familiar eh?
Well, I just adjust a bit of the words...


I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of the train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya


Now got it?
Well, the title for the post today is a story of a guy in his 20's has recorded a video of him lying at a train railway tracks for FUN. He posted the less than 1minute video to YouTube. These are the comments of the viewers.


A spokesman said: "It doesn't bear thinking about what would have happened if the turbulence created had swept the man's coat up into the underside of the train.

"Not only that but think about the effect on the train driver who believes he has just killed somebody.

"Nobody who has any regard for their own safety or the feelings of others should attempt a stunt like this.

"It is stupidity in the extreme."






One wrote: "Dude i will never do that in my life because 1 slightest movement could get you ripped to pieces."

Another added: "How bored, dumb and suicidal do you have to be to try something like this?

"If you're that dumb you shouldn't be allowed outside, and if you want to die that much seek help." 




Well, to think about it. Why a guy want to do this for fun? It was so terrifying to think that a guy would do to this extent to have fun. Most of the viewers labeled the guy as CRAZY and IDIOT. I think the same too. But maybe for Jason Mraz, its tolerable because he said it one of his song.


There's no shame on being crazy
Depending on how you take these.....
(I'm just kidding..:p)


For Bruno Mars, now you can search for this guy to put in on your Grenade Official video clip. XD

Will You Do The Same?

"Money is not everything, but without money we can't do anything"

But does money can bring us happiness?

Yes, money can!

Shopping, eat, vacations, etc all need money...

Most people nowadays complained that they don't have enough money...

What is the enough amount then?

Its depend on the people spending habit, lifestyle, etc.

If you found a money more than RM100,000.00, will you return it?

Maybe some of you will return it and some of you maybe would not..

Its the matter of ethics..

BUT...

Yang Huang Mu, 67 from Taiwan returned NT1.1Mil(RM115,659) which she had picked in the street to the owner without hesitation.

"I have not seen so much money before. If I take it, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.

Okay, its quite an amount of money. I would feel guilty too. I wouldn't dare to keep that much money if I found it. But! She also refused to take 3%(RM3469.77) of the amount of money that she entitled to have!  (@.@) She only agreed to accept RM315 ang pow. That is less than 0.3% of the total amount. (eh, suddenly my maths become better...hahahaha)

As for the accountant that left the money accidentally, you are lucky that she is the one that found that money. If other people? I didn't dare to think about it........

Love Bite Case!

Woman Paralyzed by Love Bite!

Love bites can be dangerous. Pic from www.sixthseal.com

Okay! Don't laugh! This really happen! A 44 years old New Zealander went to the hospital after she is losing movement in her left arm while watching television. The doctor found out that she had suffered a mild stroke for unknown reason. The doctor found a major bruise on her neck near a major artery. The woman explained to the doctor that was a love bite she received few days ago. The explanation for the paralyze:

Teddy Wu, of the Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, said: "Because it was a love bite there would be a lot of suction.

"Because of the physical trauma it had made a bit of bruising inside the vessel.

"There was a clot in the artery underneath where the hickey was."

Wu said the clot dislodged and caused a minor stroke that led to the loss of movement.

He added: "We looked around the medical literature and that example of having a love bite causing something like that hasn't been described before."

The medic said the woman recovered after being treated with an anti-coagulant.

Man and Pet..

I believe some of you already read this on the newspaper...

Man and python have joint birthday celebration

It was few days ago right?
I also saw it on the newspaper but I didn't read the details...
Since I'm quite free today..
(free sangatla....assignments belum start lagi~~)
I decided to browse through the internet to search interesting topic or news..
After reading this news..
I can conclude that even animal know to appreciate those who really take care of them..

She said her husband had once tried to give Sako away as he was too busy to look after the reptile.

However, she said less than a month later, Sako left its new home only to show up at Joon Siong’s home.

“Sako showed thanks to his supposed new ‘owner’ by shedding and leaving its skin behind. We were approached by someone a long time ago who wanted to buy the python.

“We were offered RM10,000 but my husband refused to sell him. Sako is like part of our family,” she said.

Addition to that...
It also shows that the bond between man and animal are so close...
and also inseparable...
Too good to be true?
Its happen anyway....

P/S: The snake is celebrating it 21st birthday this year... Same as me! hahahahaha... I'm also thinking to have a pet..But not snake! No offence to people that having snakes as their pet.. I know a girl that having snakes as her pet... :p Snake is just not suitable for me to have it as a pet, I have trauma related to snake, to be actual, PYTHON... Because of this friend, I have the chance to touch the snakes and reduce my 'scared feeling' towards this animal..But have a snake as my pet? Muridana! Watashi wa junbi ga dekite inai!
