How to Spend Your Holidays...

• 
  Learn something new. Learning something new can be fun and exciting. Try learning a new language. Anything is possible through the internet, right? A new language can be useful when you study abroad. Just keep in mind that, learn something that you find interesting, so that you don't get tired and leave it half way.

• Learn how to cook. I know that most of you girls out there do not know how to cook. Therefore, during this holidays, try learning how to cook. You will never know if you don't try, right?? How bad can it be?? Besides, you get to spend quality time with your mother. It might be essential for you to learn your mom's cooking secrets. 

• Lose weight or get fit. Losing weight isn't an easy thing to do. Easier said than done. Therefore, you need all the time you can get. Since during the holidays, you control your eating time, sleeping time, and exercising time, it should be easier to lose those extra kilos. Since you are free most of the time, you can also visit the gym more often.

• Read self-help books. Reading self-help books are very useful. You get to mirror your actions and make yourself a better person. Self-help books also make you more matured, by improving your thinking abilities. So, try leaving all those reality story books, and become a better person. It will be useful in the long run.

• Watch Documentaries.  Believe me or not, watching documentaries can actually be very interesting?? Documentaries like Man Vs Wild, Dual Survival and 'Man, Woman, Wild', can be very useful. You know, if you ever get stranded anywhere. Just being precautious. Try watching Nat Geo once in a while. It isn't that lame or boring after all. 

Have fun, guys. Cheers^^

The Ecstasy of Life...

I remember the days,
When my mind used to be.
Overrun with emotions and thoughts
Of all things good and the worst...

As time went by,
With each new day,
And with a brand new life to look forward to,
My mind emptied itself in a flash, just like that...

With a cup of coffee in hand,
I sit back and think about the yesteryears,
Smiling at the change that has taken over me
And the life that I have been blessed with now...

Strolling down the memory lane,
Unafraid of the future,
Blinded by the ecstasy of living
Eventually, with eyes wide open,
I’ve come to understand, that,

Some things, including life, change for the better...

I made this poem a few years ago.. So, if you want to copy it, please leave a note first..

I'll be more than happy to allow you to take it...

Take A look Around... Is Everything Perfect??

Hola people...

This past week went very fast due to exams... (PMR is coming!!!)

As usual, my week was very busy, and hectic...

Yesterday

I saw something that I totally regret...

My mum and I was on our way to the nearby temple, when we heard this fire brigade on the opposite side of the road in a four-way road...

The fireman was asking the cars in front to give way, but this ultimately stupid car which was in front of the fire brigade wasn't moving at all!!!

All the cars from all directions were honking like hell, but this utterly stupid guy was taking his own time to move!!!

FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN, SOMEONE MIGHT BE DYING!!!

then, I tried to calm myself down and went to the temple... the end...

Today

Went to school - studied like hell - came home - went for tuition - whacked food - went out for a relaxing night - came online - writing in blog...

That's the summary of my boring day...

But, about and hour ago, something made me think about life and the thin line that stands between us and the suffering...

The relaxing night I meant above was to break away from my schedule and spend quality time with my family..

So, for this week, my dad suggested we went there.. As Gautham, my brother, loved the food there....

So, we went shopping, and we decided to eat something in this restaurant... As usual, Gautham took a plate of rice eventhough he ate 2 main meals at home!!!

As we were eating, this lady with a small child(about 4 years old) approached us... She was asking for donations... My mum instantly took a RM2 note and gave it to her with a smile.. The lady smiled back and thanked my mum continuously...  With that money(and maybe some of her own money)she took a seat in the restaurant, ordered a plate of rice with some chicken and no gravy and some vegetables to be shared with both her daughters...

I was so touched that I couldn't keep my eyes off this lady. I wish I could do something to help her, but I was helpless..

Then, this kind gentleman offered to pay for her food and ordered something more healthy for her kids... what a nice person..

That has gotten me thinking, what is there actually there to separate all of us from her?? 

it may be the decisions she had made in the past.. but, no one should suffer for their behavior in the past... all we can do is support these people in everyway we can to help them get through the day.. Life is always a battle of surviving to them...

Unless it is soo obvious that they are people who are scamming us...

MAKE IT A BETTER WORLD FOR EVERYONE!!!  

Earn our Respect, not Fight for it...

Hello fellow readers of mine,

Life has been hectic in the last few weeks due to examinations and sports activities..

I had to sacrifice my ‘computer time’ to prepare for my Intervention which was going on for two weeks..

Now, shall we all go to my topic of the day???

I came back home yesterday, with a big smile on my face(it’s hard to see it)..

Guess what?? My First Intervention came to an end..

I decided to celebrate to “aftermath” by watching some television..

My mum soon came back from school, and changed to the tamil channel, that I hardly watch..

They were playing tamil songs requested by listeners all over the world…

I was watching and also was relaxing my heavy head..

And then, it came!!! KABOOM!!! My head was about to burst!!!

A song that was so fast and HORRIBLE!!!

To make things worst, they were badly dressed, totally going over the Indian respectful dresscode..

The ladies were revealing lots of ‘skin’…and the guys looked like that they haven’t taken a bath like since forever!!!

And to top if off, I could understand a single word.. they were like muttering things.. Mostly crap..

I often have a debate with my parents, whom always comment of my choices of English Music…

But, I don’t think that song will change my view of ANYTHING!!!

The present generation enjoy listening to music that makes their head want to burst!!!

Well, these songs are viewed by the other races as dirty, and disrespectful..

They cannot be blamed, because it is true..  but the thing I regter is that, the wonderful, melodious, and calming music are less listened to….

I don’t mean to be racist or anything, but I, myself, as an Indian, don’t think that this behavior is appropriate..

I know of this guy, that I actually respect.. He is 2 years elder than me, and I find him different than the other  Indians in my current school..

For a start, he doesn’t mix around with Indians in the school.. . He is always with this group of Chinese students.. The best part is, he is a science student which proves that he is equally as good in his studies..

Just being frank with all of ya’ll, I am actually closer to the Chinese and Muslims students in my school..

I just find it impossible to get along the same line as the indians.. is not that i hate them, but i have bad memories of them.. so i prefer to keep my distance.. 

But, don't think that I hate indians or anything, but i feel that fellow indians must earn our own name.. this includes always being the best and so on... 

We desperately need this boost to be respected by people..

I hope I didn't offend anyone in this post.. I just felt that I needed to express my feelings..
