Life was like a box of chocolates.

Why this song?: Because it suits the topic I just wrote. I could still remember the first time I hear this tune playing on the internet, I was so dumb-founded by the lyrics. They are so true! At that time, America had just waged its war against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, followed by their infamous campaign to bring down the late Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Wars, conflicts and such, they are all means of spreading one's ideas and believes to others. It's just that the medium used is different, an extreme approach as many would say it. As the saying goes, if you cannot make one listen with words, use your fists. We all wish for our ideas and views to be heard, better yet, to be accepted by society. But the real question at hand is, if each of us focuses mainly on spreading our views and believes, who will be left to listen to them instead? I leave the rest to you.......

Last Friday as I was jotting down what my prof was writing down on the board, I received a Tweet from Munir saying that the infamous Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim was to deliver a talk in UCL later that evening. Upon hearing the news, I immediately began to be interested in attending the talk. I am not a bug fan of him nor his cause, but I do know that this man is a man with a renowned position as a global speaker, thus I finally decided to attend it and see for myself. The talk was brief. He cane with his wife. The title was A struggle for justice and democracy in Malaysia, yet he didn't quite address it very well if you asked me. But I don't blame him though, he did seemed like he still have much more to say, unfortunately he didn't have the time to let them all out. He basically talked about the recently released budget, corruption issue, and how cronyism led to the failure of the current government in combatting poverty. Is one asks me for a comment, I'd say 3 key iss

Why this song?: This song comes from Nickelback upcoming album, ' Here and Now' set for release November 21st, 2011.  I think the lyrics are pretty obvious, how the mankind seemed to have lost their sense of 'humanity'. War , famine, disasters are happening everywhere yet we can still sit comfortably in our homes, watching TV with no remorse whatsoever. Do we not care about how others living on the other side of the Earth is suffering? Yes, that's what this song is all about, it's about standing together as one, to help one another, reminding us of how we can make a change though it may seemed minute. Plus, the song has good music to it, even if you might argue the tunes are kinda repetitive, but for me, that is how you get the message to sink in. I leave the rest to you....... 

Went to LSE the other day, just though I'd pay a visit to that place, just for the sake of having look at what is so special about LSE being so renowned. Initially I thought of going there by tube as it is only one station away, but since I was a bit reluctant to top up my Oyster card, saving it for the weekend, I thus decided to walk my way there. Apparently it was not that too far away from my hall, it was just a short 20 minutes walk away. Lucky the weather was on my side, otherwise I won't be able to do so, besides I was also lucky enough to feel a lot better today, guess my fever was finally coming down. My other reason for going there was to check out it's library. Just wanted to see for myself how the process is in order to access university of London's library. Besides, at least I get a much wider choice of reading material now. What did I think of the place? It does have a modern look to it, seemed like a city campus style university which consisted of

It's been a month now since I first got here to the UK. They say time flies by so fast, especially when you least expected it to, but surely it's not fast enough. There hadn't been a day that went by without me failing to remember home. To miss home, families and loved one, yes that is common suffered by us all. I can confidently say here that I am not the only one who thinks so; the rest of my friends might as well nod in agreement as they are reading this, which is something I am assured of. Things are alright for me as of now; already settled in and all that, but the one thing I still having trouble getting used to is the freedom. Freedom, the one thing I’ve lost grip upon for the last 7 years of my life. I am so used to being scolded that I kind of miss the feeling of being mad at by someone. Not that I am a fool who’s asking for a fight, but the truth is, life sure felt different like this. This feeling of immunity from obligations other than to study is differen

10.10.10 So today marks the 1st year anniversary for me and Sabrina! happy anniversary dear! Oh how I wish I was back in Malaysia right now to celebrate this special day with her. But this is how things are, so we might as well make the best of it, as they say, 'When life gives you lemon, lets make lemonade!' I just hope that she is doing fine there without me. It must surely be hard for her, that is an understood fact, as the same applies for myself way over here. I miss her sooo much, and I know she must feel the same way too. I dare not say anything more, I don't think there are words which could express my feelings very well at the moment. To simply conclude, all I can say is: I miss her....

The death one of the most influential individual on Earth, Steve Jobs. An evolutionist who transformed our lives. It was such a dramatic if I could say so, since the day before Tim Cook announced to the world of the magnificence of the new iPhone 4S. He was a man who had his own vision, and he believed in it. He thinks like a consumer which the main reason why his products are so successful in capturing our attention. He founded Apple Computer on April 1st, 1976 with Steve Wozniak where they worked in Jobs' parents garage; on December 12, 1980 Apple went public, establishing their headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. On October 23rd, 2001 the iPod was born, and the rest was history. He moved on to introducing the iPhone in 2007, a brilliant integration of iPod and a smartphone. He went for cancer treatment, a liver transplant in April of 2009 as he was diagnosed for tumor in his pancreas. On March 2nd this year, he came back form his medical leave to introduce the

Tomorrow is going to be my first lecture in UCL. I can't really tell you how I feel about that actually. I am both excited and nervous at the same time. Excited as this marks the beginning of my new life as university student, bidding forever farewell to my old life as a school student forced to wear a uniform to classes. No more rules as to when I must go to bed, forced to attend events most of which I have no interest in whatsoever. I've had enough of all that, in fact I'd spent the last 5+2 years of my youth living in boarding schools. Goodbye to all of that~ But at the same time, I am feeling a bit anxious to know how I'd do in my first lecture. Will I be able to handle it, or will I face with issues in dealing with transition between these two distinctive lives? I dare not say that I am prepared for this, time will determine that for me instead, in fact there may not be much left that me myself am capable of doing to change anything at present. All I could now is
