Magazine and to save the enviroment

I planned to read another book in the library today, as i walked into the library i spotted a copy of this months Readers Digest, i grabbed it and quickly sat down, you see, in the college library, people tend to take the Readers Digest magazine, read it and never place it back to its original spot, so people like me can't find it till the months over. And i was glad i got this months issue quickly, because almost everything in the mag was about the environment!! yay! For those of you who know me, you'll know that this is my fave topic, reduce, reuse and recycle!

Note: did you know it's not incidentally put it that order "reduce, reuse and recycle" it's actually the steps you should take when using something, first you think of how you can reduce consumption, if you can't, can you reuse it? and finally if both are impossible then recycle it! I leart that today when i read the mag.

Loads of interesting and informatice articles about the environment. Malaysia wastes 45% of food and only recyles 5 % of it's wastes...it's sad i know. There was also the article on stem cells, you know they're on this new thing about saving the baby's umblicle cord for the blood cells, well this tells you loads about it. There was an article about the Berlin wall,before this i heard about the Berlin wall but i didn't actually know what it was. Here's what it's about in a few words, it's a wall built by the Nazi's (if i'm not mistaken) to divide Berlin into East and West, West was the free side and East was under communist control. Of course they have broken it, not all parts of it though, there's a museum and i think they remade part of the wall to allow people to experience and see it, added with the things they added to the wall to prevent people from climbing and escaping to the other side.

Now people! you too can help to save the enviroment, it's really simple and the little you do goes a long way!! All these are examples of things you excounter everyday, so keep them, wash them and recycle accordingly into the colored bins nearby, please don't just think of getting money for it, it's ok to recycle without getting money for it because it's the right thing to do, think long term people, long term.
1. Plastic bottles you buy (water, coke, pepsi, etc), Big and small size ones!
2. Aluminium cans
3. Newspapers,magazines
4. Papers that you've use and don't want anymore, keep them and recycle! even the little scrap you just throw, maybe you should keep them in the recylcing pile this time.
5. McDonalds, the paper bags that they give, it's paper! recycle! And if you can, ask them not to give you the plastic, just take the paperbag. The Sundae cup they give you? don't throw! wash and recycle!
6.Shampoo detergent, washing liquid, hand wash bottle/containers that are plastic
7. Plastic cups , forks, spoons, containers
8. Glass bottles
9. Tins

For me, if i think it can be recycled i'll wash it and keep it for the next recycling trip, i don't get money for it, but i feel a lot better when i help save the earth.

Just remember these few things, make sure when you want to recycle something it MUST BE CLEAN, don't leave food/ liquid in it because it makes it illegible for recycling.



Now for something on a lighter tone, if you love to read food blogs then i recommend you go through this list of TIMES 50 of the world's best food blogs (click the words). I haven't gone through all the blogs yet, but soon, soon.

Ok that's all, tata, SAVE THE EARTH!!! SAVE THE PLANET!!

Gossip Girl season 3 Episode 8

The episode is called Grandfather II, it was basically centering around nate's mothers side of the family. The political one. Overall i think this is quite a good episode, better than the last for me, the last was just a tad bit boring. So here are a few thoughts of mine about the episode:
1. Chuck Bass was the mediator, the parent of the episode. Seriously, i'm not kidding! He was actually counselling and advising Serena on how she should treat her friendship, and he sounded so insightful, a bit out of character, but it may just be that he's growing up and he is after all now an owner of a hotel!

2. Nate, he was totally in political mode here today, pretending to be nice, backstabbing is grandfather, his friend. In the end he sacrificed himself and it was supposedly all for his innocent cousin. I find Nate's character very confusing, one minute he's the moral character, the nice decent one, the next he's pulling all this stunts out of nowhere. Hate towards his grandfather? but it wasn't even him who pulled the whole fake drowning thing, he just pretended to. Well if he was trying to get everyone to not trust his grandfather, it worked all right, even though he didn't exactly plan everything.

3. Chuck and Blair are so perfect together, though it looks like chuck is really doing all the work, being an understanding boyfriend and all, blair always does something to disturb the peace between them.

With all this drama in the episode, totally worth watching! ps, was the Dan and Olivia thing just a filler to put them in for the sake of it? lol.

A poem by Tessa and I

The Adventures of Panda

once upon a time there was a panda
who contemplated the meaning of life
her name was amanda
and she loved spice
she wondered if things were black and white
she thought and thought, with all her might
so she travelled to a place out of sight
and accidentally got into a fight
it was the fight of the century, historians said
it was all pepper and chilli, till someone fell dead
then in came the maid
she saw the mess and shook her head
she spoke to panda, who was really upset,
'It's all allright, he was just a pet'
she put on the panda a corset
and made the giraffe get

(It's a work in progress)

To buy or not to buy?

I'm wondering if i should buy this Christmas CD



These are just samples of his singing, the songs and what you'll get out of the albulm basically. I'm wondering if i should buy because;
1. i don't actually own a actual Christmas CD, my parents have theirs but i want my own.
2. The songs in the CD are the traditional songs of Christmas which was what i was actually looking for.
3. I'm not a actual fan of his, but i think his singing is fine.
4. 50% gonna buy it already.

Exams, necessary or preprogrammed?

Note: If you're a supporter of exams then don't read this and get all worked up to defend your lover (poor you).

My question people is....Are exams really a necessary thing? or was it preprogrammed into our minds that it is? I think some bozo came up with exams just because HE thought it was a good thing to implement. Situation, bozo: hmmm i'm bored, what should i do to irradicate the very fabric of society? ahhh i know, i'll create this metal torture, name is let's say....uh exams and convince everyone that it is important. Yeah i'll do that cause i'm an absolutely bored person. Oh yeah, this guy most probably was from centuries ago, either chinese or egyptians because they're the only civilisation that i can think of that has exams that date back centuries. And remember! they didn't have the internet at that time, so yeah...they were VERY bored.

So he goes, and convinces everyone and wallah, no we see the very product of his insanity at least 5 centuries later. Thank you bored guy, i hope you're happy! Continuing with my story, this thing has been passed down from generation to generation, pre-programming it into our brains and making it part of our culture/tradition whatever you want to call it. Add in a little bit of honour and power when you attain good marks for this exams and people are practically eating this idea our of your hands. The very basics of promotion and psychology eh? (not so sure about this one, not a psych student so yeah).

Why we don't go against this system? simple, they have put barriers on us, they have associated exams and passing or doing well in it with a good job, good prospects of a better life, money, popularity, 'shiny' objects *rools eyes*. Bother them. Ahh well most people who go against this system are the ones that make it, note we have to remember they OF COURSE worked hard, duh.

One thing i realized when i was studying for my business exams, i was actually studying how to apply it, as in studying how one should apply something, i dunno about you, but that sounds weird to me. I agree that showing someone how to apply something is logical, confucius "give a man a fish and he'll be full for one day, but teach him how to fish and he'll be full for life", get it? It's just plain weird and wrong la basically. My mom says i should become the minister of education and propose to change the system, haha well i'm starting now aren't I? you're reading my propaganda. Some people tried to get rid of UPSR and PMR and just jump to SPM, and needless to say, it failled. Of course it failed, because in the end you have the same thing, testing everything at the end, just that this time is worse because you have 10-11 years of education knowledge to cram into one exam, yeah that was real hard to figure out why it failed. I propose to implement tests instead of exams, what is the difference you may ask? well tests are given say every month or after every topic is done, while exams just test your knowledge all at one goal at the very end. Through tests you can actually attain a better view of how much you have understood a topic, because it only focuses on that topic. "But life is about applying all that knowledge simlulataneously, by having tests you'll be indirectly making students compartmentalise topics and are unable to apply it to real life", O_o that's what hands on is for right? owh, i forgot to mention there will be hands on right? my bad.

That is my argument my friends, sorry if it has been offensive, as you can see, i'm not exactly in the nice mood. It was a fun topic to blog and rant about anyway. Vote for me to become minister in the future? *gives that 'vote for me' pose*
