What would I do to change the world.

I would first start thinking positively at everything that had happened to me. The world today, as i believe is in a sad state whereby all of its inhabitants are all always looking at only the bad side of every thing. For an example, the youths today would complain at almost every minute thing but in fact, they should just look at the positive side whereby they are lucky to have what they have unlike some who are under privilege.

Besides, I would learn how to set my mind straight and have a belief of my own. It is due to man's indecisiveness that leads to the unbalanced state of our world today. People tend to follow one another and somehow they just can't make a stand. If we were to have a stern stand at what we believed, I know that we won't be easily swayed by rumors and words that may tear down the unity of the world.

Other than that, if I had power to change the world, I would order that all weapons of mass destruction be destroyed. Those weapons do no good to the people who own them as well as to those who do not own them. Then, I would order all big forces to leave poor countries and let them rule their own countries. The bigger nations are not allowed to interfere in smaller countries’ administration and whatnot unless requested.

So, in conclusion, I believe that just by changing the way people think, the world would be at a much better state. Everything starts with the mind. To change the world, we have to change the way we're thinking or else, we will going to stay like this forever.

What would i do to change the world.

My Worst Fear.

Fear is a scary thing. We all fear different things. As for me, I fear a lot of things. I fear of cockroaches, worms, spiders, being isolated and a few other things that I don't think I need to mention. But the thing I fear most is losing my parents. I've lived the 20 years of my life under their careful care and protection. I hear their nagging and lectures every night. Despite all that, they provided me with a full tummy to go to sleep with every night. I cannot imagine how my life is going to turn out if my parents leave one day. Who's going to pay for the bills? Who's going to buy my food? Who's going to share my tears and laughters?

That is how much they are willing to and have sacrificed for me. Sometimes I try imagining how it would be if my parents left one day, it ended up with tears every single time. I dare to say that I'm a person born with comforts in life. And just today, my parents told me they realised that we are really good children and they are proud of us.
They shaped me into who i am today and I know I wont be able to get through life if it weren't for them.

Each day, I will pray to God that He will give me chance so that I can repay whatever things they had sacrifice and given me.

My favourite past time.

Basically, my favourite past time consists of doing anything that sounds like fun. However, I've picked out a few that deserve honorable mention. Also, I have so many favorites within each area that I have only selected a few to list in no particular order.

When I'm not doing anything school or work related , I enjoy watching movies with friends. There's nothing like watching a movie to distract you from everyday life and enjoy the company of those around you. My taste in movies ranges from comedies to adventure to sci-fi films. I even like watching the occasional classic black and white flick. Some of my favorite actors include Johnny Depp, Adam Sandler, Chris Tucker, and Angelina Jolie, just to name a few. As far as movies go, I love all Adam Sandler movies. I recently got hooked on the Lord of the Rings movies too, and enjoy any film that falls in that same genre. A couple of great movies that are constant favorites are Transformers and Dances with Wolves. The lists here could be endless.

As far as TV goes, I admit I'm addicted to the one soap opera, General Hospital. Other great shows on my list include Friends, The Simpsons, and, thanks to the pressure my friend exerts on me, The O.C.

Music is a part of daily life for me. When I am home, it is constantly playing in the background. I can't drive in my car without the radio on, and when I am around campus, I always have some type of portable music player within my reach. As you can probably guess, I like music from around the world. I also like alternative rock, hip-hop, new age, techno, reggae, pop, instrumental, and I can't forget about the old school 80s music. Usually I listen to a combination that fits whatever mood I'm in. But something I am always in the mood to listen to is my all-time favorite band, Foo Fighters. Currently on my playlist I have artists such as Duffy, Matchbox 20, and Goo Goo Dolls.

Last but not least, I enjoy water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing by the ocean. The beach is the perfect place to go when you need to de-stress and put things into perspective. But too bad, I have to wait for that one when my holidays come.

Landslides - Too little, Too Late.

The country was recently shaken, literally, by news of landslips and landslides, one after another. I guess it's Nature's way of telling us that we have, indeed, gone too far.

And of course, in true Malaysian fashion, experts and politicians started spewing out comments, which I find not only irritating, but coming too late. Yes, the site of the Bukit Antarabangsa landslide is not too far from the Highland Towers site, 1.5 km approximately, and residents have commented to the MPAJ but did anyone listen, take heed, or take stock of what happened in 1993? I don't think so. I think it's rather too late now to tell us that the soil at Bukit Antarabangsa is not stable and not suitable for construction. I'm sure we are very much aware of all that.

It's definitely the wrong time to be pointing fingers or passing the buck. Yes, the landslide happened. What is best now is to make sure it does not happen again. Perhaps the powers that be can think before they act or issue statements on how best to prevent the situation from recurring.

So, who's to blame? The developers, for wanting to cash in on the 'exclusiveness' of the area? The residents, for wanting to live 'an exclusive address'? Or the local council, for giving a nod for the project to go on anyhow, despite the fact that there are serious risks involved?

Of course it is easier to point the fingers at A,B, or C. What is difficult is to take ownership or responsibility of what happened.

Let's just hope that such tragedy never recurs. My prayers to those who lost their family members and friends. Al-Fatihah.

My Most Hilarious Moment.

Everyone has their own hilarious moment that they will remember forever, so do I. However, mine is different compared to other people because it is not just only a hilarious moment to me, but also a sweet one.

I know this one girl, who is really special to me, a few years ago. We were a good friends and somewhere along the way, I can't help myself but falling in love with her. I kept it to myself as I didn't want anything bad effects our friendship. I tried a few times before to tell her about my feelings, but my tongue get tied every time I am with her.

However, one day, she gave me a positive signal. It all started when one day, we went out together. We were crossing the road and I hold her hand because I feel that I have to look after her as I was the one who asked her out. To my surprise, she held back my hand and even tighter. I was too happy that I didn't realized there was this one banana skin on the road and I accidentally stepped on it and I fell. People were looking at me, most of them were trying so hard to not laugh. But I laughed at myself to cover everything and they all joined me laughing. Started from that day, I always be more carefully.

Since that unforgettable incident, we spent most of the time together. For me, she is like an angel that God has sent to me. She always there for me no matter what. She helped me with everything. She makes me feel comfortable. She also taught me to believe in myself since she said, she has faith in me. That really touches my heart.

But everything's change when one day, she disappeared, just like that. No news about her. I feel so sad and depressed. But whatever it is, she will remains as sweetest memory and she has make me experience the most hilarious moment of my life.
