aku ingin mencuba

Aku nak try tulis dalam Bahasa Malaysia. Aku rasa memang susah untuk tulis macam ni sebab aku dah biasa 'bercakap' dalam BM tapi bukan menulis. Mungkin ramai diantara kita yang macam ni. Kalau tulis comment boleh je tulis BM. Tapi kalau nak tulis blog, mesti English juga paling lancar. Bukan poyo tapi kebiasaan.

Topik hari ini ialah 'kerenah orang'.

Somehow, BM lebih sesuai digunakan untuk caci maki. Aku paling tak suka melayan kerenah orang. Aku tak gemar terlibat dalam bisnes 'people pleasing' sebab manusia memang banyak kerenah. 'Treat people like how you want to be treated'. Tak ramai orang yang buat macam ni. Aku mengaku, aku bersalah juga kadang kala. Tapi, kebelakangan ni aku jumpa terlampau ramai orang yang kerek.

ISI:
Hal ini akan lebih menjadi-jadi apabila kita berkata tentang 'collective minds/behaviour'. Ataupun dalam BM nya...aku langsung tak tau...'Kumpulan minda/perilaku'? Perangai manusia akan lebih menjadi-jadi jika kita dalam satu kumpulan.

CONTOH:
Perkara ini boleh dilihat dikalangan mat rempit yang berleluasa di Malaysia. Kalau kita lepak one on one dengan diorang, more often than not kita akan lepak dengan orang yang decent. Tapi bila 'geng' dia dah join, MASYARAKAT!

KESIMPULAN:
Aku tak suka melayan kerenah orang yang kerek. Aku boleh menulis dalam Bahasa Malaysia. Paling kurang pun, separa lah.

MARKAH KARANGAN:
51% (Bagus. Tapi usaha lagi. Rajin membaca)

*EDIT*
Somehow after writing this I feel its a totally worthless post.

Note to self: Write about memories next time.

The mind

Do we only use 10% of the brain?

Are we able to develop psychic abilities?

It has been said that a while back, a few scientists found out that we were only using a very limited part of our minds. They are divided into two parts; the conscious (10%) and the subconscious (the rest). If you repeat something to a lot of people long enough, even if its a total myth, people will eventually believe it to be true.

Some say we are only what we believe. We get sick because we think we're sick. We believe panadol can cure headaches but its probably just in the mind also. Fear is also just in the mind.

MYTH : We only use 10% of the brain
FACT : We use 100% of the brain

Who knows which is which.

But, what if the myth were true. How exciting would that be to unlock the secret of using an extra 90% of the brain. Here's a list of the things that we might be able to do:
  • Photographic memory
  • Fast language learning
  • Stress relief
  • Increase our energy
  • Develop super heightened senses
  • Eliminate pain
  • Telepathy
  • etc.
In other words, the sky is the limit. I think it's a pretty impressive list. I would like to be able to do those things. Or at least, have Derren Brown's abilities.

Retail Therapy

Well, not really...

I guess it's necessary for me to have these things if I wanna go forward. Being idealistic is one thing, but I guess practicality needs to come in some time. Now is the time. I'm making my move.

First up, the 20" iMac! I bumped up the RAM from 2GB up to 4GB, and increased the hard disk size from the standard 320GB to 750GBs. I plan to do some serious editing with this new toy. It's a bit scary buying this though. Just 1 day after i bought this, Apple released their new macbooks and macbook pros! If they come out with a newer iMac, i would be really unlucky! However, i suspect even if they did, the price might be more than I can afford.

I bought my second 'toy' today after reading and reading reviews for the longest time. Here you go, the best video camcorder ever according to camcorderinfo.com, the Canon HDV HV30! Woot!
It uses mini-DV tape and not hard disk, which most consumers nowadays would get. I purposely chose this format because of itsease and speed when it comes to editing, so they say. Also, the best part about it is the 24p 'cinematic look' that it's so popular with.

Can't wait to come up with projects soon. For now, it's learn learn learn!

Story 1

I'll try to write as much as i can remember.

When we were sixteen, the first exercise our new english teacher gave us was a short essay. It was her way of gauging our levels, giving her some sort of vague idea of how to teach i guess. I can't remember how she looks like. Before giving out the title of the essay that we had to do, she ripped out a piece of paper from her notebook. She crumpled it into a ball and put it on her table, which was in the centre of the class. "Now write something about this" she said. Everyone didn't understand her words for a second, and then, everyone started writing.

With choice comes action

One has dreams. One has desires. One has wishes.

I wish I knew what other people who went through something similar has done. Wish I had access to enough people with experiences and stories to tell. Most people would have stories, I just have to get it out of them somehow. Maybe by asking politely? Hopefully.

Do we strive for these dreams, desires and wishes? sometimes. I know I will. That is a choice I've made.

What's next?

I need to follow up. Take action. Learn and seek knowledge. Build a solid background. Practice makes perfect. Be inspired by my surrounding and through people generally. Do what I can for the time being. As much as I can.

Be constant. Persevere.

How weird is it giving 'advice/support' to one's self? Online?

Very weird.

on repeat


If a person were to sit at the same place with nothing else to do but to listen to the radio, he/she will notice one thing. The radio has songs on repeat.

It's a form of subtle torture. The sounds seep slowly into your head going on some kind of killing spree. Rampaging on and on in your mind, clearing it of all other thoughts or memories. Even the important ones are not spared. You are left blank with nothing else but those few songs.

1. I kissed A girl *edited
2. viva la vida
3. sex is on fire?
4. etc. I dont even know their names

even

5. i'm yours!

Radio stations have the power to kill songs.

How? Quite easily done. put it on repeat.
