My Human Growth Chart

Since my earliest memory was when I was 5 years old,I shall start with 5 5 y/o : "Cry and I will get my toy" 6 y/o : "Better do my homework, I don't want to be caned" 7 y/o : "No use crying, Dad is not going to get my toy anyhow" 8 y/o : "You reap what you sow" 9 y/o : "Good guys always win the bad guys" 10 : "Mosque is not pronounced as most-queue" 11 : "Dad seems to know and able to fix everything under the sun" 12 : "First major exam, must do well" 13 : "Hmm....strange. Why the rest of the students seem to be polarised?" 14 : "No,Mum.You don't need to hold my hand anymore. I wont get lost" 15 : "I think I know as much things as Dad.Oh by the way,Dad,this is what is written here......" 16 : "I can fix my computer better than my Dad,slowly catching up to the 324,657 things he can fix" 17 : "Good deeds are not always repaid with its equal" 18 : "OMG.....she sure is stunning.I can die happy already" 19 : "In life, efforts are not the only that decide things." 20 : "I know,I know, Dad. Study hard and I do not have to worry about funding. You said you will find a way.By the way, you gotta watch your blood pressure and sugar intake." 21 : "Life sometimes is just so not fair,it was never meant to be anyway." 21+ : "Air sure smells different in a westernised country but things are sure expensive here" Adios.

Anzac Day

Today is a public holiday for Australia and New Zealand,so I thought might as well do some update here,as urged by my dear Eugenia. So what is this ANZAC day all about?Did some searches throught wiki, our friendly web Mr Know-it-all. It stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - ANZAC. Sounds a bit mitalitarist here, had a special day allocated to celebrate the army? Actually, the day is reserved to commomerate those who perished in the battle during the World War I,specifically the ANZAC,during the attack on the Gallipoli beach in Turkey.The ANZAC was the vanguard,as in being the first to rush to the battlefield.It is the D-day for the Australian and NZ army, like the D-day for Allied forces attacking German in France back then. However as Murphy's Law state, "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong",the navigators apparently screwed up then. Instead of landing at a coast where there is not-so-steep beach to advance,they landed at a coast facing a hill,tranlating a relatively walk by the seaside into an literally uphill task. From then on,the battle turned into a massacre of the invading army. It sorta reminds me of the Tugu Negara back in KL.The communists, Rundingan Baling and etc.Hmm....come to think of it,I haven't seen that Tugu for ages. Shall add to the things to do when I go back to Malaysia. I should be studying instead of reading some boring historical articles here. One more thing, just want to wish a Happy Belated Birthday to Yi Wei, Song and Sheena. Adios...
