Since we speak English everyday..here are some interesting facts about our beloved language..
p.s-make sure you read no.12
1. No word in the English language rhymes with month.
2. "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt".
3. The word "set" has more definitions than any other word in the English language.
4. "Underground" is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters "und."
5. The longest one-syllable word in the English language is "screeched."
6. There are only four words in the English language which end in"-dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.
7. The longest word in the English language, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
8. The only other word with the same amount of letters is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconioses, its plural.
9. There is a seven letter word in the English language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters, "therein": the, there, he, in, rein, her, here, here, ere, therein, herein.
10. No words in the English language rhyme with orange, silver or purple.
11. 'Stewardesses' is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand.
12. Guess what!!>>To "testify" was based on men in the Roman court swearing to a statement made by swearing on their testicles.
13. The combination "ough" can be pronounced in nine different ways. The following sentence contains them all: "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed."

Of Loss, Grief and Bereavement
Just something I learnt lately and after watching Grey's Anatomy...and i'm not being EMO
So whats the difference between loss, grief and bereavement:
The feeling of loss comes when you have lost something you have placed value in. Exp: Handphone, wallet, etc
and
because of that, an emotion called grief which is a normal and dynamic process which will fill you up in response to the loss
then
you will go through bereavement which is the period after you experience grief (mourning) where you experience anger, sadness..etc
until
you find something to place value again...you are not really out of it...=)
more on grief>>
According Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross there are -
5 Stages Of Grief
Denial and Isolation
At first, we tend to deny the loss has taken place, and may withdraw from our usual social contacts. This stage may last a few moments, or longer.
Anger
The grieving person may then be furious at the person who inflicted the hurt (even if she's dead), or at the world, for letting it happen. He may be angry with himself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it.
Bargaining
Now the grieving person may make bargains with God, asking, "If I do this, will you take away the loss?"
Depression
The person feels numb, although anger and sadness may remain underneath.
Acceptance
This is when the anger, sadness and mourning have tapered off. The person simply accepts the reality of the loss.

From a new point of view!
Since Galen was being his procrastinated self and refuse to update his blog liked he promised to, I will it myself.
Yes I hacked into his blog without him knowing.
If you are wondering who am I, let's just say I'm someone close to him.
so here it goes...
1. I think that he has changed alot since he started going to MMU and alot things had happen since the second part of his 1st sem started. He told me that he's tired of pleasing the people around him and yea...it totally sucks! so well I told him that even the best cakes in the world can't satisfy all the people on earth so best thing to do is to ignore them i guess..what do you think? I mean putting ur foot into the situation will just probably make you worst right?
2. He said something about the exams the other day haha...I'm not really sure but it's something about him being caught stonning in the examination hall by the invigilators LOL! It was so funny...the invigilator actually had to wave his hands at his face to 'wake' him up lol! Not only that another incident was that he saw an invigilator sleeping on her job...these people are so..so...so haiz...(speechless) Exams drive ppl crazy and I ahve yet to meet one who actually loves exams.Oh well that day has to wait the.
3. After he had come back from camp he realised that he started getting sick of himself and live as there were so many things being said that so many goals were to be achieved but yet achieved. So things needs to be brought to the next level and remember that actions speaks louder than words..what more faith without actions is useless. It's time to make things happen.
Hmmm can't remember all the things he told me that's it! Maybe i'll update again if he doesn't realise this and if I can rememer more.
*period*

Check this awesome flute beatboxer dude!
OMg this guy is seriously good. Big time serious. SERIOUSLY!
and this too!
and this too!
The Hols
Well yes it was my mid-sem hols. The value of a just-a-one-week-break-lah has really hit me now.
I now kinda appreciate the awesomeness of a 7 day break.
And has with assignments already 'stacking' up it was time to get things done.
But NO
a procrastinating me just won't want to. As he preferred to go out and lepak everyday ....
HOW??
Honestly, I didn't regret it. Though there were choices which I wish I didn't make or had decided.
THIS IS LIFE; C'EST LA VIE
I realised I needed God more than ever though we need God all the time. It is always the time when we actually need HIM the MOST that we truly TRULY realised that HE is always there for us and that we actually really REALLY need HIM.
AND as usually HE always establish the fact that HE works in mysterious ways.
during the last one month, DEATH has really made itself really famous by getting two really inspiring people on its bus. Trully Michael Jackson and Yasmin Ahmad had been an INSPIRATION for many in different ways. Hmm just a note... both of them died around the age of 50/51?? Well as theyalways say " he/she may have passed on; BUT their legacy will always remain with us"
Ok back to me XD
went to MV with Carmen the other day and found this in the POS office:-
well looks like here's the reason why Malaysians are so polite..O.O
Their boss really did a good in making their employees very polite.
CG NITE
Was on Thursday night. just now lo.
We had a lot of fun...<>
Played Wii and Taboo. HAHA it was so much fun!!
Hmm met the totally changed Miriam who has came back from England.
and .. LOL i guess thats it for now ..XD

Uni life #1
Yes ppl the reason why I haven't been updating myself is because......I have just kick started uni life haha. Orientation which started off as a nightmare turned into one of the best "camp" of my life.
All thanks to the aishah and suren and the rest of the super mega awesome OCs and DMs for making us feel at home..
I DARE say it is the best orientation week in the whole of Malaysia...Yup Yup
I really want to thank God for intruducing me to lots of new and great friends. Without them my uni life would be quite boring.
well MMU being a uni thats has 99% uptime Internet service has it advantages...
-the obvious one is of course internet connection everywhere..
-and since we have our own source of downloading movies...downloading 3. smthg Gig file takes abt only 5 mins!!!!!!! yes haha
Not only that- i heard there is a strong CF here too....Looking forward to it tomorrow..
**the reason why im blogging in a not-so-orderly-manner cuz there is so much thng going on in my mind right now=)
oh yes today was the first day of gaining knowledge in uni..well we were thought the meaning and the whole idea of drawing. complex stuff in there....lol
we had to draw smthg from our memories and BANG! i'm not the drawing-type-of-person so ....primary school type of masterpiece i guess..
then English ...uHUH.A rocking awesome teacher I guess(based on impression)
though she is vertically challenged, she definitely commands her presence and doesn't "sink" into a class of 70 people.
well i shall just keep downloading movies and watch 'em and wake up for another long day tomorrow.

What IF
I was born a son of a murderer......
I probably either:
won't be able to see him because he may be dead already
won't be able to see him every day because he is in prison
won't know he's past because he won't want me to find out who he really is
become just like him because i grew up with he's theories
I was an orphan......
I would probably feel kind of empty on the inside though I'm happy on the outside because there is a part of me that I don't know.
I was born a son of a president......
I would feel extremely happy as my dad would become and icon and role model for many. Getting all the attention ain't that hard anymore. Bodyguards everywhere whom would sacrifice their own safety for me and considered it an honour. Buying whatever I want without thinking twice whether I got enough cash.
OR
I would feel extremely awkward and trap because I'm being watched by someone 24/7.Which means my privacy would be violated=no freedom. Can't do anything I want. Having friends that are just-there-for-the-money type of people. Can't really talk to anyone who has not been body-checked because my safety would be at risk.
I was born somewhere in the continent of Africa......
There will be a high change that I'm infected with HIV from birth and is in of meds to survive. Most probably in a state of malnutrition with defy all laws of a proportionate body. I might not even know who my dad is because my mom was raped.
I was born in a freaking rich family.......
I would not know the real meaning of contentment. I would just by anything and everything I like. I will be in the most expensive school in the country where students are free to express themselves even with their uniforms. Brands such as Bata or Pallas will be a taboo. Only the latest of the latest brands and gadgets will be "allowed". Everyone will try to be the coolest and best in school. Lies would be hanging in the air as everyone would boast how good and rich their parents are. But in actual fact their parents are only half of what they say. Not only that, I would have to behave because my parents reputation would be at stake if I don't. Living up to the standards of my parents and achieving greds for my parents not for myself.
I was born in a family of celebrities.....
It would be awesome being able to hang out with famous people from the industry. Maybe even end up being some of their best friends. Would most probably into the industry as well and rise up tp stardom one day. And the result is not some oscar award but a bunch of paps following me around like faithful satellites recording every single mistakes made by me; forgetting that I'm still human.
But if now .......
I am a child of God so I know that my identity is in God.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer 29:11
