more FEAR!

Fear? hahaha. I'm in fear like... 100 times more than her.

why?

Because i'm living in a place which is very scary and full of violence. well. it's not that bad but.. not very good though xD
Ceiling fan. I agreee!!! like when i first came to malaysia, i haven't seen a ceiling fan in a single room. I only saw those in korea in a fancy restaurant or living room. When i first came to malaysia, ceiling fan was EVERYWHERE!! even in a mamak store. haha.
and when i first came to malaysia, i was freaked out that in every room, there are air conditioner!! Impossible in korea! There are only one air conditioner or 2 like my house, and we don't need more! my old school in korea, there wasn't even an air conditioner, but only a heater xD. Fan is just enough to survive in korea! haha

so yea. i already got history assignment and english and... business. how sad. and exams are 13 days away. and i don't feel like studying. what should i do? can someone motivate me to study????

okay. I'm sleepy. I played badminton today with caryn. It was fun. she was a bit mad. i'm used to it xD

good night

Fear !

I have a super huge fear of ceiling fans. I hate ceiling fans!! I know its so useful and cheap and efficient, but don't people realise that it is such a dangerous contraption to have in a house?!??!

Before I moved into a condo, I used to have a ceiling fan in my bedroom. On hot nights, I would turn it up to lvl 3, which makes the fan shudder and spin really really fast. The wind feels nice of course, but the sight of that thing spinning and shaking and making weird clanky noises totally freaked me out. Sleeping was almost impossible cuz I would keep imagining that dratted fan spinning out of control and tearing itself out of the ceiling and falling on me. I would then be sliced into teeny tiny bits and no one would be able to recognise the bloody mess that used to be me. :(

So I would hide under the blanket(like that would help!!) and try to ignore all bad thoughts. Finally, I just got up and turned it off, which was what I should have done a looong time ago, duhh.

I'm also very very afraid of getting my head sliced off by a ceiling fan when I'm sitting on a high chair or when my head is like less than 2 metres below a ceiling fan. Sad right??

At least I don't have Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, which is the fear of the number 666. If I were Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobic, I wouldnt be living in my current home, cus my unit number is B-6-6 and I live on the 6th floor. lol!! ain't that cool!!??

save the fish

Speaking of salmon. Caryn encourage eating salmon rather than shark fins? I do understand how the agenda of killing sharks are terrible but have you noticed that salmons are also in big trouble?

If Earth’s ocean is a human, like us, then it would have to go to the hospital and will receive intensive care. The World Conservation Union listed 1,081 endangered fish. Almost half percent of Pacific salmons are extinct and others are depleted. Of course we need something to eat. I just ate fish as lunch. Well… it was a bit salty so I didn’t finish them and blamed my dad. He said he put too much salt accidentally. But I feel bad. I threw them away even I knew that fact that eating fish is just killing the environment :(
So I regret. Lol. Why am I talking about this? Anyways.
Fish has great nutrient values. They have much kind of vitamins, protein, fat… but ultimately, majority of them cause osteoporosis (did I spell right? :S) and other problems in our kidneys. Ooh. Heart problems too! FISH ARE NOT RISK-FREE INDULGENCES.

When mankind first born in the earth, I know that their only choice to eat was from nature. Fish. Vegetable. Meat… and we still need. That’s why when we look at the food pyramid; fish is in the important place. Second stage if I remember correctly?? :S
But according to the statistics, nowadays we are consuming twice as much protein as is recommended. Our taste for fish far away exceeded nature’s ability. Let’s see they provide 50 amounts of fish to us. Another 50 needs to survive so that they can reproduce for future generations. Just like us. Humans. Fish is not a food that we eat. It is NOT the reason why they are born and it is not the reason why they are living in this earth with us. Look at salmons. They take tough journeys to get into the way of reproducing and sacrifice themselves for the next generations!

Humans are so greedy. They are the reasons that drive many kind of fishes into extinction. I won’t use they. I’ll use We. Because it’s all our faults. We are now living in industrialized society. And we catch fish. Whole bunch of them. too many fish using all those advanced techniques like using ultrasound to sense them easily. 80~90% of the fish in the entire ocean are caught! And fish started to lose their ability to continue on their lives. and only those fish that we don’t really eat are left. so the profit that fishermen gain started to go down and down and down and down and down~ so they catch more fish over and over and over and over to get more money. $$. Where the hell is the end?? =x

I'm not saying let's dont eat fish ever. I'm just saying that salmons are not in a safety situations as well. They are also in danger as much as sharks.

Caryn influenced me. she changed me to think as an environmenist.
she always influences me. always.

Have i influenced you before, caryn???

Shark Fin, Plastic Bags and our Darling Earth

This is our future earth.

This earth is one of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN OUR LIFE. Without earth = No life. SO TELL ME WHY IS EVERYBODY TRYING SO HARD TO DESTROY THE ONLY INHABITABLE MASS OF ROCK IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE??!!!

Take my brother for example. HE DOESN'T CARE AT ALL. He eats sharks (A soon-to-be endangered species) even after I've told him that sharks kill only ONE human being a year, and that's only if they're lucky. Humans on the other hand, eat like a hundred million (probably more) sharks a year, especially the Chinese with their shark fin soup.



Do you know how shark fin soup is made?!! First, you catch a poor innocent shark, then you use a saw to chop off its 4 fins.

There you go, fins! Now what? The shark is probably still alive, bleeding like mad. Its too cruel to eat the entire shark right? I bet it doesn't taste nice either. Oh and we need space on this boat for MORE FINS. So we should just throw it back into the ocean! Too bad the shark can't swim without its fin!!!! And a shark needs to swim to get oxygen!!! So what happens to it?? IT DIES!!!!! A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH!! IT SUFFOCATES TO DEATH!!!

Its bad because sharks take a long long time to reproduce. So if 100 million sharks die each year and only a handful are born... I wonder what will happen?! The number of sharks in the U.S. have declined by 90%. NINETY. PERCENT.

You're eating shark cartilage. The fin is boiled for a long time until it separates into clear noodle-like cartilage. It's tasteless. You gotta eat it with chicken broth and some other stuff. So what, exactly is the point of eating something that has no taste?!!! Is it because of it's supposed nutritional value?!! Well, the Chinese think that shark fin is a kind of tonic which helps do all sorts of magical things while other people say shark fin is a good source of protein and helps rebuild cartilage (you get shark cartilage!) but SCIENTIFICALLY, shark fin has little nutritional value. In fact, it may even be harmful to your health over the long term, as shark fins have been found to contain high levels of mercury. Anyway if you want protein, there are SO MANY OTHER sources of healthy protein. Go eat salmon, its a superfood - proteins, omega 3s, antioxidants - all in one! SHARK FIN IS BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD.

You do this:

To get this:
Put inside here:

aiyerr..



I think you got my point. NEXT, PLASTIC BAGS.


Environmentalists are always constantly forever hammering statistics and reasons why we should DO SOMETHING to save our dying earth. And we (well most of us) go "woah, wow, omg!!" when we realise that every single thing we do contributes to global warming or waste overload or air, water, land and even noise pollution. But we can't live without our air-conds or cars or toilet bowls..

But plastic bags.. of course we need plastic bags! They're so convenient, so versatile. They're one of men's most wonderful creations!! I want to buy a loaf of bread and 3 packets of twisties and 8 sticks of bubblegum and 4 cans of coke. Obviously I can't hold them in my hands and I'm too lazy to bring a big bag from home so I guess I'll use a plastic bag!! Oh and I want to bring my dirty shoes along with me to school, I can't just chuck them into my bag, they will dirty all my clothes and then I'll smell like feet!! So i'll put them in a plastic bag la.

Anyway all I'm trying to say is that we can't live without plastic bags but we can certainly REDUCE the use of plastic bags. It's not very hard! Get a big bag when you go shopping.

or something not so big:

Yeah so you can stuff all the things you bought into your bag. Its good also because your parents wouldn't know you went shopping. But more importantly, you save plastic bags!! Yesterday I went to ou to buy some stuff and I could have, but didn't, use 5 plastic bags. And the day before I went to buy a bag of chips. The lady put the bag of chips into a plastic bag. WHAT FOR!!!?? The chips are already in a bag right? Same goes with food like kaya balls and famous amos cookies and bread and bakery stuff and everything else - they come in a paperbag or their own plastic bag or whatever packaging already, so you don't actually need another plastic bag, just put it in your bag!

So imagine if I save like 10 plastic bags a week (which isn't really a lot), I'll save 520 plastic bags a year. Ain't that cool!!??? If you decide to join me, we can both save 1040 plastic bags a year! and if 8 more ppl join us, 5200 plastic bags a year! And if half the population of malaysia does this, we're saving 7 020 000 000 plastic bags! (sorry, i just loove numbers!) So as you can see, we can so easily save our earth from being wrapped and suffocated in plastic!! So easy la!!!

Before I go on, I'll talk some more about plastic bags and where they go after you're done using them. In a landfill, plastic bags take many lifetimes to decompose, and when they do, they pollute waterways and the soil. So the water you're drinking now might have some plastic bits in it. Or maybe not, since plastic bags didn't exist thousands of years ago. But most plastic bags don't make it to landfills. Instead, they're flying around in the air or clogging up rivers and lakes or lying in heaps at the roadside. You might be indirectly suffocating and killing endangered turtles and poor innocent birds and dolphins.

ANYWAY, 7 020 000 000 plastic bags.. is not a lot. It would be better if every Malaysian saves plastic bags. That would double the figure.. 14 040 000 000 plastic bags a year. And that's only in Malaysia. But thats okay. Imagine the amount of money and time needed to get rid of 14 040 000 000 plastic bags! Thats just scary.

All I'm trying to say is SAVE PLASTIC BAGS!!!

We can all play a part in saving the world!! :)

That's all!!

How to Cope with the Loss of a Pet Rock

(Found on some really awesome website with helped me overcome my grief)

Losing a loyal friend is always upsetting. Losing a Pet Rock is even worse, because you have spent so much time with them. They have been your constant companion and trusted friend. You could talk to them, and know that they would never tell anyone what you told them in secret. When they die, make sure they are buried someplace with lots of other rocks, so they will not be lonely.
Steps
  1. Bury your rock. If your rock has died, find a nice spot in your garden to bury him. If you have an area which contains a lot of other rocks, bury them there. Mark that spot in some way or another - burying an old spoon with the bit you eat off sticking out of the ground is an ideal gravestone.
  2. Remember your rock. If you have lost your rock, plant a flower in remembrance of them.
  3. Listen to really depressing music. Don't try to cheer yourself up for at least three days. You will drop back down to reality with a thud. Be really miserable. It is respectful to your rock. Slowly cheer up. That way,you won't get sudden pangs of mourning.
  4. Begin again. After at least a fortnight you can get a new rock!!!!!
Tips:
  • Classical music can make you really miserable.
  • Other things that can make you really miserable include homework, thinking about lost items, best friends who have moved away and how you never gave your rock a good life, and so on.
