Don't look for love .
Let love find you .





******************************

Oh goodness , it's been so long since I've touched my blog . Things were so hectic nowadays as I step foot into the year 2011 which means that I will be sitting for a major exam that indirectly determines the path I will take once I leave school .

School homework , projects , extra curriculum activites and tuition are some of the things that are keeping me away from my beloved blog . I truly regret not being able to blog as much as I used to , but things have changed vastly and it leaves me close to no choices .

I promised most of my friends I would once again revive this blog on the first day of February and today , I am prepared to commit to my promises .

So , what's on today's agenda ?

Well considering that I have taken such a long hiatus and practically left this blog to rot , let's start off with a list of what's happened to me and the world around me ! Things that matters though . Not news about Justin Booger or Edward Pattinson , or whatever his name is , I just can't seem to remember his name .

Perhaps he's just too SHINY for me to recall what his name is .

Let's begin , shall we ?

List of What's Happened To Me and The World

1 ) Celebrated my birthday with close friends and family at two different places . Considers myself quite a lucky person to be able to do so .
2 ) Bought a new tennis racquet ( refer my Facebook for pictures and info ) , which cost me quite a bundle of cash . About to put that racquet to full use .
3 ) Was reunited with my classmates , only to get in massive trouble once again . How my discipline teacher puts up with us , I will never know .
4 ) Went back to Penang and Kedah to visit some of my relatives . Had a great time there , although my access to tennis courts all around Penang was restricted .
5 ) Speaking about the elections at a place called Tenang , apparently things aren't so tenang ( calm ) after all , as residents of that sleepy town were hit with destructive floods .
6 ) Roger Federer advanced all the way to the semi-finals of the Australian Open , only to lose to Novak Djokovic in straight sets .
7 ) As I suspected , Kim Clijsters clinched her maiden women's singles Australian Open title after beating China's number one , Li Na in 3 sets .
8 ) Chinese New Year's about to arrive ! Time to receive red packets loaded with cash , bring out the tables and start gambling ! Nostalgic memories resurfaced as I recall the times I played mahjong with my sister and my grandmum .
9 ) Just created a Twitter account , and does not have a clue what to do with it . Better , should I stick to Facebook .
10 ) Has a sudden urge to wreak havoc in school .. okay now it's gone .
11 ) Is battling puberty as it drives me nuts with things that could ruin my life .
12 ) Welcomes a few awesome songs ; The Flood by Take That , Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri , God Only Knows by The Beach Boys , I Look To You by Whitney Houston , Fireworks by Katy Perry , What The Hell by Avril Lavigne , Shake by Jesse McCartney , We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP .
13 ) Will be having an awesome steamboat dinner later tonight
14 ) Sparks and tempers fly , as Liverpool's footballer Fernando Torres is now a Chelsea F.C player .
15 ) Watched Twilight : New Moon , the other day and wanted to hang myself
16 ) Here by declares Professor Severus Snape an idol , inspiration and a hero to me . Absolutely love him ( I have a picture of him on my phone wallpaper ) :D
17 ) Currently trying to resolve a dilemma that has struck me a few days ago
18 ) Had his little puppie' , shaved almost bald for Chinese New Year .
Surprise !
19 ) Actually thinks that Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani are brothers .
20 ) Knows now who are true friends and those who are imposters .
21 ) Declares my love for Helena Bonham Carter .
22 ) Struggling with the behemoth amounts of homework my school has slapped me with . They should fucking know I ain't God and only have two hands .
23 ) Wants to watch The King's Speech , Paranormal Activity 2 and Mr and Mrs Incredible starring Koo Tin Lok ( Louis Koo ) and Sandra Ng .

So , there you have it .

Twenty three issues that I regard as very important .

Which is your favorite ? (:

And just for fun , I will be posting up pictures of my trip to Penang ( pictures also available in my Facebook profile ) .

I call it ,

From Penang with Love .

****************************

Honestly , I have no idea why I bothered taking photos of these money-sucking assholes .

Scrambling to grab photos at speeds of 110km/h

Press the RED button at the bottom of the picture and something amazing will happen ..

Apparently , there is an abandoned prison on that island ~

Mr Lim's office ~

Some ancient , shophouses .

A big , round , fat , strong and hard structure that takes people's breath away ..
Reminded me of something I know and have (:

These were awesome

Lorong Selamat fried kway teow , brilliantly prepared by a cook that wears huge goggles while frying .

Notice those behemoth prawns

Two very beautiful , new and awesome tennis courts that are NOT for me to use .
So there I was , staring outside my balcony at what I am dying to use but not able to . The worst 24 hours of my life ~

While on the ferry back to the mainland , spotted a cruise ship

That guy is NOT me , just so you know

The view from my balcony . See that small beach down there ?
It's all mine

This is one bad-ass ocean-view villa .

I've gotta have this house .__.

Still , captivated by it's beauty ~

BEWARE OF JELLYFISH
No joke .

By now , you should have already realize that I'm obsessed with that villa and has already taken the initiative of stalking it .

Beauty and decay ..
Found this critter lying motionless next to a shell

Behold .. God's MISTAKE .
This is one big-ass jellyfish . Told you the sign wasn't kidding ..

Was tempted to grab a stick and poke the carcass . But , decided not to as enthusiastic steamboat-ers were charging at me with their chopsticks .

Hello hello , what do we have here ?

So there you have it !

Just some of the many sights seen through my eyes !

*********************

Anyways , I'll update again as soon as I can .

Maybe , a Chinese New Year special ?

I'll see what I can do but for now , I bid you all a good day .

The King's Speech

Watched "The King's Speech" with Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush (and a shockingly different Helena Bonham Carter).

Absolutely overwhelming and what is more : the purest form of cinema with incredibly able and talented actors. If Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush both win Oscars they will be more than worthy winners and if they don't -then "best" has no meaning.

Highly recommend it (both of them for the Oscars thatis!!!!!).

Some serious WTF moments

There are a lot of stories out there that make me wonder what the hell was going on in peoples' minds. There are a lot of stories that make me ask...

Florida Mom Accused of Killing 'Mouthy' Kids

Honestly, I just have to throw this out there – if all parents killed their kids because they were mouthy, the human race would have died off long ago. God knows I never would have made it to seven, if I was lucky.

I am sure it’s not easy being an officer’s wife, while he’s in Qatar and you’re handling the teenagers in all their splendor by yourself. But come on, really?

Did this woman not have any friends? Did no one notice she was acting strange? I mean, come on, you cannot go out and buy a gun out of the blue and plan to use it to kill your children without showing some signs of weirdness. Why did no one try to help her? Why didn’t her kids notice she was weird? Surely there was some sign.

Seriously, what kind of heartless bitch do you have to be to pick your son up from soccer practice, turn around and shoot him in the face? I mean, seriously? And then, in true ironic fashion, shoot the daughter in the back of the head. Was she trying to make a point? Why didn’t she just shoot the two execution-style in the backyard?

I really feel for the dad. How on Earth do you not fall off the deep end when you’re in Qatar and get a phone call, “Umm, yeah, we just wanted to let you know that both of your kids are dead, and your wife did it. You’re shipping out in the morning to go handle things.” I really, honestly, hope he stops at the office of a good divorce attorney on his way from the airport. Having planned a funeral before, I know that can wait a couple hours – the attorney is more important in this case.

My mom worked in corrections for awhile and she told me, and this is a well-known fact, that inmates don’t take kindly to people who commit crimes against children. Which means, I have a feeling this nutjob is going to have to spend a lot of time in solitary (a rubber room suits her well, if you ask me), or she won’t last in prison for long. Someone’s going to shove a broomstick up her butt and then eat her as a midnight snack.

I, for one, want her to answer to her children sooner rather than later. I want her to go to St. Peter’s gates and have him flanked by each one of the kids. I want them to ask questions, get answers, and then, I want them to push the button, opening the trapdoor for her to fall into hell. Because, seriously, these kids deserve some sort of justice, and that’s the only way they are going to get it.

Baby Gabriel's Mom Says She Suffocated Son in Newly Released Audio Recordings

This one has been in the news for a long time. In Texas they were searching landfills for the body of this poor 8-month-old kid.

Apparently, in December, the kid's mom was recorded as saying:

"You left me with no choice," says Johnson. "You'd be surprised what a person will do if you push them enough."

"You made me kill my baby boy," she says. "I suffocated him, he turned blue and that's when I put him in his diaper bag and put him in the trash can." 

Are you freakin' kidding me? 

First of all, what kind of psycho-heartless bitch do you have to be to suffocate an 8-month-old? Moreover, why do you do it because the kid's dad "pushed you"? You take it out on the kid's dad, not the kid, you moron. (Okay, that sounded like I was advocating violence against the kid's dad - no so. Especially because the crime this guy committed was talking to other women on Facebook. Oh the horror. News flash, that's what Facebook is for, to talk to people. That's why it's called "social networking.")

So, then, apparently, after she says this, she changes her story to this:
She later changed her story and said she gave the baby to a random couple she met in a San Antonio park.

What the hell? You gave your baby to a random couple you met in a park? They seemed legit because they brought their own carseat? Are you kidding me? This doesn't make her sound any more sane than the previous scenario. No one just "gives" their child to a "random" person. That's like the makings for a really bad horror movie.

One of the more depressing things, at least to me (aside from the fact this poor innocent child suffered because his mom was a moron), is that the mother's name is Elizabeth Johnson. I mean, hardly a unique name, but I happen to know an Elizabeth Johnson who is the sweetest, most amazing person on this planet. It really has no bearing on anything, but it's just one of those things that just does not compute in my head.

This is another one who deserves justice. Let's hope there's a diaper bag big enough for her somewhere.

Action! Support Professor Richard Falk

Thanks to Fran Shure at colorado911visibility.org for passing this along.

Call to Action!

TO: Citizens of the World Working for Peace

ACTION NEEDED: Protest the Condemnation of Professor Richard Falk, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.

WHY: Professor Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, has demonstrated courage in saying that there are “gaps and contradictions” in the official account of 9/11. He has been “condemned” for such conservative statements about 9/11 by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and US Ambassador Susan Rice, and Ambassador Rice has called for his removal from his unpaid post at the U.N.

Professor Falk has been devoted to world peace during his lifetime, and he is arguably the world's most qualified legal scholar in the Palestine-Israel issue in the UN where he is very much needed.

Write as a citizen (not part of a movement) to both U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to let them know you disapprove of their censoring statements to Professor Richard Falk, and that you call for an apology to him.

Five sample letters follow. Please do this as soon as you are able. Time is of the essence. And please forward to your peace and justice contacts and those working for peace for Palestinians and Israelis.

Five Sample Letters to Ambassador Rice and Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon

1) From Adnan Zuberi, student, University of Toronto
Wed, Jan 26, 2011
To: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Princeton's Dept. of Politics Chair Prof. Milner and US Senator Mark Dayton

Mr. Ki-moon,

I am a student at the Univ. of Toronto and I have carefully examined your sudden reaction to Prof. Falk's comments regarding 9/11. You were very quick in saying that his statement that 9/11 is a cover-up is offensive and he should be removed from the UN. However Sir, if you actually bother to read some of the statements by US officials such as Senator Dayton (provided below), you will see that Prof. Falk is just stating facts that are far from new.



I am confident that Princeton University will not be intimidated or pressured by your misinformed statements and I hope Princeton supports their own professor. True academics are concerned with facts and truths whereas you Sir are concerned about how "offensive" it appears.


Adnan Zuberi
B. Ed Candidate, Univ. of Toronto


Senator Mark Dayton said: 
NORAD "lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11 commission to create a false impression of competence, communication and protection of the American people."
 Direct video reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nRoGNqiHBY 



Senator Max Cleland, Former 9/11 Commissioner, said "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9/11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up."

2) From David Ray Griffin, PhD., Professor Emeritus
January 27, 2011

Dear Ambassador Rice:

I have found your recent claims about Richard Falk, along with similar claims by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, to be poorly supported.

Speaking through his Chef de Cabinet, Vijay Nambiar, on January 24, Ban Ki-moon described as “preposterous” Falk’s comments about 9/11, in which he described the official account as containing “gaps and contradictions.” Ambassador Rice, you declared Falk’s comments to be “despicable” and “noxious.”

But as the website Patriots Question 9/11 shows, questions about the official account have been expressed by over 3,000 notable persons, including architects, engineers, pilots, professors, medical professionals, artists, entertainers, government officials, law enforcement officers, military officers, and intelligence officers. Secretary Ban Ki-moon and Ambassador Rice, you have both “condemned” Falk’s comments. Do you really want to condemn all of these highly respected people for honestly stating their views?

Just as the Secretary-General claimed that Falk’s comments were “an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in the attack," you, Ambassador Rice, called Falk’s comments “deeply offensive.” But the website of Patriots Question 9/11 contains a list of more than 300 9/11 survivors and family members. Do the two of you really wish to condemn all of these 9/11 survivors and family members for having stated, frankly, that they have questions about 9/11?

I hope that you apologize to Professor Falk and all the others you have insulted with your unfounded accusations.

Yours truly,

David Griffin

3) Professor Tony Hall's Comment on the UN Web page detailing Ban Ki-moon's 9/11 attack on Dr. Falk, 25 January, 2011


It is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who has discredited himself with his reactionary and ill-informed response to the interventions of Dr. Falk on the state of scholarly controversies concerning the contested events of 9/11.

Certainly Professor David Ray Griffin's ten books on the subject are key works crucial to describing the scholarly landscape of the ongoing research concerning 9/11. 



Until Mr. Ban Ki-moon has done his homework on the contested interpretations of what did or did not happen on 9/11 he should restrain himself from criticizing UN staff like Dr. Falk. Dr. Falk is a learned academic who demonstrates his determination to respect human rights by doing the necessary homework to make informed observations and conclusions about the contested events of 9/11. 



By not keeping himself up-to-date on the scholarship of 9/11, Mr. Ban Ki-moon is unfortunately part of the constituency that denigrates all Arabs and Muslims who have been smeared collectively by those who disseminate an unsupported interpretation of what happened on the fateful day.



We expect much better from the figurehead of the UN, an institution cheapened and demeaned by the intervention of the Secretary-General into an area on which he obviously has not been properly briefed. Decency requires that the UN Secretary-General favor evidence over the propaganda effects of a toxic public mythology that perpetuates the ruthlessness of the illegal 9/11 Wars.

4) From Frances Shure, Licensed Professional Counselor

Dear Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Ambassador Rice,

Because of your condemnations of Professor Richard Falk, I cannot help thinking that you are completely uninformed, or misinformed, on the issue of 9/11. You are also displaying behavior inappropriate for officials of the UN, an organization whose mission is to promote world peace. Dr. Falk, a Jewish American, is one of the world’s preeminent scholars devoted to world peace, and currently, peace in the Palestine-Israel conflict.

According to scientific polls, Dr. Falk’s comments conservatively reflect the opinion of a major portion of the US population and populations of other countries. As an example, please note that a 2006 Time Magazine article reported:

“A Scripps-Howard poll of 1,010 adults last month found that 36% of Americans consider it “very likely” or “somewhat likely” that government officials either allowed the attacks to be carried out or carried out the attacks themselves. Thirty-six percent adds up to a lot of people. This is not a fringe phenomenon. It is a mainstream political reality.”

In another example, a 2008 World Public Opinion poll of 17 nations outside the US found that majorities in only nine of the countries believe Al Qaeda carried out the attacks.

There are also many professional organizations researching and reporting on the events of 9/11, such as Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (http://www.ae911truth.org), and Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (http://www.stj911.org).

In addition, the national Green Party of the US calls for a truly independent investigation, as does the Colorado Democratic Party. Here is the statement from this party’s 2010 Platform:

“WHEREAS many disturbing facts were consciously ignored by the 9/11 Commission; Be it resolved, therefore, that the CDP calls for the establishment of a truly independent Grand Jury and public investigation into these and other anomalies in order to find the truth of the September 11, 2001 attacks, so that we have a greater probability of preventing attacks of this nature in the future.”

Therefore, not only are descriptions such as “noxious” and “despicable” unbecoming of officials in your positions, but they are insulting, not only to Professor Falk, but to millions of people around the world.

Professor Falk is sorely needed as a voice for peace in the UN. I hope you will do the research needed to inform yourselves of the reasons Professor Falk made his blog statements, and make a public apology to him.

I look forward to your response,

Frances Shure, Licensed Professional Counselor

5) From Earl Staelin, Attorney

Dear Ambassador Rice,

This is to express my strong disapproval of your attack on Richard Falk for expressing his opinions about the events of 9/11. Mr. Falk is a distinguished international legal scholar whose knowledge of and respect for international law puts him in a unique position to promote a just and lasting peace in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine, in line with President Obama’s goals and statements, and based upon international law.

The events of 9/11 were used to justify the war in Afghanistan and the Iraq War despite the fact that the U.S. never provided any of its promised evidence to Afghanistan that bin Laden and al-Qaeda had caused the 9/11 attacks; the FBI has stated it has no evidence proving that bin Laden caused the 9/11 attacks, and it has been well established that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11.

Many prominent and respected individuals have also raised serious questions about the credibility of the Bush administration’s claim that 19 Arab hijackers caused 9/11 and call for a new independent investigation. These include:

Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan, and a former editor of the Wall Street Journal; Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst who provided the daily intelligence briefing to several presidents including George H.W. Bush; Robert Baer, former CIA officer and subject of the acclaimed movie Syriana; Robert Bowman, Ph.D., former jet fighter pilot, original director of the “Star Wars” program under Presidents Ford and Carter, and former head of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at the US Air Force Institute of Technology; Dwain Deets, former Director for Research Engineering and Aerospace Projects at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, where he received the NASA Exceptional Service Award; Steve Jones, Ph.D., retired professor of physics at Brigham Young University and internationally distinguished physicist; Lynn Margulis, world-renowned biologist; Richard Gage, A.I.A., architect who has designed tall steel buildings and founded Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, which now has over 1,400 architects and engineers who call for a new investigation; Dr. Niels Harrit, professor of chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, and expert in nanotechnology; David Ray Griffin, who has written nine books on 9/11, one of which was a Publisher’s Weekly “Pick of the Week”; former U.S. Senator Mike Gravel who served in military intelligence in the 1950s and in 1971 entered over 4,000 pages of the (until then secret) Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record.

There are many more distinguished scholars and leaders in numerous fields who question the official story and believe there should be a new investigation, which this time would include any evidence that leads to various U.S. government entities.

It is of particular concern that the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow, had undisclosed conflicts of interest, including his key role in writing the Bush administration’s illegal preemptive war doctrine which was also used to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is has also been shown that the 9/11 Commission only investigated and reported information that supported their predetermined position that al-Qaeda masterminded 9/11, and failed to investigate or report any of the large volume of information that undermined the 9/11 Commission’s position.

The primary purpose of the United Nations has been to promote and establish peace under international law. It is a misuse of your position as Ambassador to attack a public official such as Mr. Falk for his responsible exercise of the right of free speech, particularly when the evidence strongly suggests his position calling for a new investigation has been widely supported by so many prominent scholars and authorities and is backed by a large body of credible evidence. As Ambassador you should be strongly defending Mr. Falk and his right to speak out without calling into question his position in the U.N.’s Middle East effort to achieve a lasting peace.

We strongly urge you to retract your comment and to stand firmly behind Mr. Falk’s continuation in his present position.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Earl Staelin
Attorney at Law
Denver, Colorado
