Do you like crabs? Well, I bet there are lots of you out there who enjoys eating crab meat especially from its pincers - the most muscled part of the crab. Also, there might be some of you who prefer the taste but due to the troublesomeness to crack open its carapace, hence feeling unwanted to have some even when its served in front of you. There might be a small group of people who has allergies towards it. Another reason I ever heard is that he/she doesn't eat crab because his/her horoscope is Cancer. Funny though.
Craps, on the other hand, is not so welcomed by everyone, as it is a rude word to replace nonsense, worthless, shit or whatever you can think of, giving the similar meaning. However, craps is also a popular dice game in the US.
"It is played with two dice. In craps the thrower makes a money bet that is covered by one or more opponents. If the first throw totals 7 or 11, the player wins, but if 2, 3, or 12 is thrown, the player loses. In any of these cases betting and throwing are repeated. If the throw totals 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the player's point, and throwing is continued until the same point is made again or a 7 is thrown. If the point is made, the player wins, but if a 7 is thrown, the player loses both the bet and the right to throw again."
The game is such a gibberish to me, and hereafter, I made my own conclusion, that the word crap, originates from this game, which gives equal meaning.

Bandar Utama - A basidiomycote, commonly known as mushroom, was found growing inside a bus by a student, named Maxx, currently studying AUSMAT programme in KBU International College. According to Maxx, this was the 1st time he encountered such humorous happening and so, he decided to post it up. The mushroom was recorded to be 9.0 cm in length, 6.0 cm in width and 4.0 cm in height. A study had been initiated following this event, to investigate how does this species able to grow from a spore and hence survive in such condition and environment, which consist of only metal and rubber. Another passenger, preferable known as Mr. X, said the position where the mushroom was found, had frequent water leakage from the air conditioning system. That may be the reason for the mushroom to be able to bloom on inorganic materials. This was worth-studying in order to determine whether other species of basidiomycote can grow on other inorganic material such as plastic, with only water is provided.
32x**In the last picture, those black dots are not the pattern of the mushroom, they are dusts & dirts. There is even a tiny little spider on it. Once again, due to my poor-and-low-quality-phone-built-in camera, you may not be able to see the cute little spider so clearly.
It is past midnight now therefore today is officially the last day of the year.
Most probably this will be the closing post of January 09, for there won't be any thought-provoking event(s) happening during the coming few days - the 1st star-crossed Chinese New Year for me (better touch wood).
Since the EALD subject victimize majority of its students, it was crystal clear that some of the sufferer did improve themselves or maybe even surpassed their old selves. Honestly, I knew myself better than anyone else, for I'm not an ideal person for blogging; but still, I will try my best to conquer myself for the sake of my future & a beatific life for my family.
Here's something that I wish to groan, it was some act of somebody, whom I went out with yesterday. He asked me out to Sunway, telling me that we will have some fun, either by wetting ourselves in the lagoon, or get our body lying on the ice surface, or to screw some machines there. As the inconvient truth, we went to watch a movie. After we vacillate for some half hour, we(or should I say they) made it clear that the movie will be Red Cliff 2. By mentioning that I did not intend to critisize or talk anything bad about the movie, for it is really magnificent as well as worth watching.
Instead, I would like to say that it was an embezzlement to me that they wasted my precious 6 hours of a day(not including the 2 1/2 hours movie time, that were worthwhile) - typically one quarter of the day, for merely transport purpose while I can just cycle for 15 mins (comparatively 30 mins including the return trip) to the same-as-big cinema in One Utama for the movie?
Well, that's enough of babbling from me about that incident, for I can say no more about it(and about them). Taking this opportunity, I would like to wish everyone of you who will come or came across this page an ECSTATIC CHINESE NEW YEAR. Welcome Ox!!!
"When you look at me, you think I'm alright because I'm smiling and laughing . Actually I'm not , you'll never know how much I wanted to tell you that I love you, I need you and I want you back in my life."
"Tonight , alone as I am , sitting in front of my computer staring into blank space because things aren't the way they are anymore. Without you, I'm lifeless and so depressed deep down inside my heart, I can't describe my depression with words. I feel like crying but, my tears just wont flow out."
"A New Year is near and all I ever want for this New Year is you and only you. Is it really that hard to find the feeling that we held on to together? Will you hold my hands and walk the journey of life together again?"
Tony will change the way he lives from this moment onwards. Help me, will ya?
This is not actually a post or somehow it it more to an assignment to be done on this blog. There are all together 6 questions about my studies and...here goes :
1. Where do you read and study?
~Where else? definitely my room. With "him" in the same room as me studying or reading something intensively, i will feel very ashamed for spending too much time on my lappy as well as taking afternoon nap(although that's what I always did..)
2. What is the best time for you to read?
~Anytime is okay, but still have to depend on my mood. Howerver, with so much drama series copied into my hard disk, I can't resist from being 'seduced' and sit in front of the monitor. But still most of the time i read after I have my dinner.
3. How long do you normally study without a break?
~This is a question that i don't feel like answering. Its not good to reveal this type of answer - I can't manage to study continuously for more than half hour(that's the max). After that, I will find myself doing something else rather than continue studying.
4. What type of distraction bother you the most?
~During my previous years, the biggest distraction is the voice of actors/actress from the "magic box" in my living room of which my parents are watching. But now, I realised that it was actually my own problem, for I can't sit still & concentrate on anything over long period of time.
5. On average, how many different assignments do you work on in one evening?
~Another dependent event. For over 18 years knowing myself, I will only finish up the assignment (more on homework) given on that particular day, and I will assume that I settled everything. Unless somebody else is urging me (maybe even brute force is needed) to do something else, I will just postpone it till sometime later in the future.
6. What types of rewards might work for you?
~I'm a really materialistic person, hence the best reward for me is money. This make the JPA scholarship the biggest reward i ever receive and therefore, i must work better to receive bigger & more encouraging reward(s).
Thats the end of the questionnaire, and here is a short clip that I find interesting. Hope that everyone will enjoy it.
p/s Although we will never have enough, being too greedy will only endanger yourselves. Tony is thinking now...how should he compensate...
This is especially for those who had not see this before, and also to those who did not understand why we laughed when we saw Ms. Say's powerpoint. This is the whole story about that funny rabbit : **scroll down slowly & see 1 by 1..
Well, I hereby officially announce the launch of this blog, but it was not of my own free will, as I was forced to do it as a part of my studies. Maybe i will get use to it some days in the future, who knows?
Its my brand new studies, where the real AUSMAT course begins. Although the lecture time is as loose as the previous 6 months, don't think that i can relax as much as i did last year - sleep whole afternoon after class, then stick to my laptop the whole night, procrastinating all my homework till the last minute and watch drama series until past midnight, or even sometimes i did not sleep at night time. This is the real deal that will decide my future, more important than anything else.
This morning, by merely hearing the course outline for my English course (EALD), it was enough to make me suffocate till the end of the day. Indeed, there was a good news that there won't be any test(for this subject only) until the mid-term test, but all the assignments are life-taking.
Since all here are events that will affect me badly, it doesn't matter if I add another bad news here. I will be staying in KL here for my 1 week Chinese New Year break. Plus there will be some sort of new assignment to be done during that break, as well as some tests that will come either before that or after.
Here's some snapshot of sunrise in my hometown, Sandakan the Nature City :
Actually all 3 of them are pictures of dawn, but due to the poor quality of my camera, the last 1 looks like a view of dusk. Tony is signing out right here, right now.
