The EnD of The Semester

   The end of the semester is usually a great thing to hear for students in University as it there will be no more class but to some people who notice it the end of the semester means we have one foot to the door of the final examinations. Some students who realize it knows that they have to start preparing for the most stressfull time of the semester. As for me, I always takes things to lightly even during the exam and for people who knows me before we enter the exam hall I would just be standing there doing something stupid. For example, last semester for the English Language Proficiency 2 I just read a few things and when we were waiting for the examination hall to open their doors I was using the The Sun newspaper as ukelele and my friends on the other hand were panicking on using the last minutes of time we have trying to cram their notes in their heads. Some students love the end of the semester especially those who lives like bats, whereby they stay up late untill it was to late to a have good sleep to prepare them for morning clases. We look the last day as what we as Malaysian calls Merdeka no matter what age or education level we are at. When we were in primary or secondary school, those at home will know it is the last day of close not because it was the end of the month of November but how the children celebrated by yelling and playing with firecrackers and in some cases throwing flours at each other. Last saying, everybody loves the end especially to an end of whatever it is that they do.



WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO ITS THE ENDDDDDDDDD!!!!

The Final Examination

   When the final examination looms we all will be going into solitude to study. I once read somewhere that studying is an equation whereby studying= study+dying. Most of the students that I know when final examination is near they will start studying three days before the exam. I on the other hand, in the past I usually study the day before the exam or never study at all which always lead to passing the exam by just the skin of my teeth. I don't hate the final examination that much because in my mind all that I was thinking about is after the final paper of the exam begins the long holiday that we so call deserve. It's always easy to spot an examination was about to happen as you see everyone starts to panic. Library is filled with students so call group studying at the last minute and people walking around the campus grounds with notes in their hands mumbling to themselves. To people final examination is just a pain, to me it was just another checkpoint to the finish line.

retired postmaster monologue

   As I woke from a hangover with my head spinning after my retirement celebration from being postmaster, I made myself a simple breakfast and strong coffee to get over my hangover. As I looked at my presents at my table, I saw an interesting shaped present. With haste I opened it hoping for something that could entertain myself. As I tore the wrapping paper to shreds, I received and easel and a paint set. As I thought to myself why did they bought me this, I decided to try it out. After I set everything up, I started thinking what do I want to draw as my first masterpiece. As I thought long and hard I remembered watching Mr. Bean on an episode where he has to paint and decided to paint myself a bowl of fruit. When I finished the painting I noticed that the painting was terrible and so I decided to prove myself again. I decided to try and imagine while I paint and when I completed I saw that I have painted the scenery of the post office unconsciously. As I reminisce the days of being a postmaster, I decided to improve my post office scenery and take painting classes so I would never just have to imagine my old job but turning it into a masterpiece. Without me noticing it, I found out that this useless present is the next best thing to happen to me.

The Winner of The Biggest Loser Asia Monologue

   As I stood there waiting for the result, my heart beat as if the countdown to a bomb was about to end. As I hope and prayed that my number of weight loss was the most from the others, all of a sudden as the weight indicator stopped the confetti gun blew and I was announced as the Biggest Loser. As I was filled with mixed emotions, I don't know whether to scream, cry or just faint. The scream of joy from the crowd in the hall was immensely loud, i felt the stage shooked. As the host interviewed me, I was so speechless especially when I was able to meet my friends in the competition in the early round. As I was feeling happy and congratulated by my former teammates and competitors, my name was called as they had something to announce. As I was facing the host and she was talking to me, behind me a brand new car was parked behind me. I was feeling very impatient as I wanted to celebrate with my family and friends, and when they asked me to turn I was confused looking at the car parked,  I thought I was about to go somewhere. I was hoping there was a party just for the winner and when I heard that it was my brand new car. I yelled so long that I felt I was about to faint because I cannot keep my emotions cooped up anymore. After the show as I went to the toilet I looked at the mirror and said it wasn't impposible.

Life is Boring

   The statement life is boring could be debated, because everyone has their own point of view in the statement whether they agree or disagree. The people that disagree to the statement life is boring because they have something to look forward to like a new car or your first job. Other than that, the people that disagree that life is boring are usually the people who are in a relationship. This is because when a person is in a relationship they feel that life is never boring when you are with the one you love.
   Whereas from a person who agrees that life is boring is a person who has nothing to look forward to. Other than that, a person who usually believes that life is boring is actually bored at just that point of time. An example, when a person is really bored is usually doing something that is not interesting such as watching a movie that you hate.

   To me there are sometimes when I really do think that life is boring especially when I have nothing to do. Once I was really bored because I have nothing to do since there was a power out and I have no money to go out, I felt that life was so boring for two hours straight. Up untill now I cannot say that life is boring because I have almost everything that I want.

Who says grandmas can't rock.

   It is hard to say that grandmas could not rock, because sometimes the elderlies are  the wildest one of the bunch. I watch too much television to not believe that grandmas only sits quitely and reminisce, because most of the movies and series that I watch shows that the grandmas nows how to rock and party. I believe that the reason elderlies do crazy things is because they did not have the chance to do it when they were young. Everybody has a list of what they wanted to do before they die and we could only do it when we are really free.

   Grandmas can do anything as long as they either want to do it or not, and when they do your jaw will drop. I remember while watching television there was a Senario movie trailer where this old lady was drifting in her car through K.L. which was actually quite amazing if it actually happens. I have seen a show where they send homevideos where there is this grandma who actually did a bunjee jump for her 80th birthday. The one grandma that I believe that she can really rock is the famous and funny actress known as Betty Marion White. At the age of 88 she is still rocking the box office with her latest movie "You Again". Those who says grandmas can't rock better choose your words carefully cause I know there is one grandma who rocked in the past, present and future with her upcoming movie by lending her voice for the childrens book by Dr. Seuss named The Lorax coming out 2012.

Japanese artist, musician, author and peace activist Yoko Ono

I don't know much about the lady named Yoko Ono other than she's Japanese and she's the wife of the famous man known as John Lennon a member of the English band The Beatles.Since I watch too much television, there was always a joke about her being the reason for disbanding a group. While I was babysitting my aunt's daughter, she was watching a cartoon called Powerpuff Girls and on that episode the villains joined forces to fight the superheroes and was soon disbanded by a female named Moko Jono. The episode even referred to the incident how Yoko and John met.

After doing research on Yoko Ono, I found out that she has songs dedicated to her by John such as ballad of John and Yoko. Yoko was also famous as an activist for peace and human rights and during a second "bed-in for peace" which was actually like a press conference in Montreal, Canada; they created my favourite song and the anthem for peace which was give peace a chance. Other than music, Yoko Ono was also a talented artist and during an exhibition in London where she first encountered John Lennon. The way they met was by one of Yoko art project where you have to climb a ladder to reach a magnifying glass hanging by the ceiling and by using that magnifying glass you will see a word which was to John was an interesting work. After meeting with John, Yoko and John created a band called Plastic Ono band which included some famous musician such as Eric Clapton.
