Do you like to eat crabs? No, this post isn't about me eating crabs or how delicious they are. I recently came cross news about protecting crabs. Apparently, laws to protect animal generally only applies to vertebrate(don't throw away your bio just yet), but then there are moves to include the laws to crabs and lobsters as well(yup, the ones you eat at seafood restaurant) in the European countries. The reason for them to do so is because they found out that crabs have nervous system similar to us, so they deduce that they would experience pain as well.
Imagine when you boil the lobsters alive, they would scream like: OH~~ OH~~ my meat, my delicious meat is excruciatingly painful because of some ravenous human being who boiled me to fill their stomach!! So they think they can torture us like this just because they are some human being!! OH~~ OH~~ this is so inhumane and they still call themselves human being!! OH~~ OH~~ Can't they imagine the feeling of being boiled in such hot water of 100 degree celcius? Don't they have any intelligence at all and yet they still call themselves human being....
Ok, let's stop here. I'll leave the rest to your imagination but I guess you would have understand by now.=D But would a crab really experience pain just because they have the nervous system? Crabs can hear too, but do you REALLY think they know how to enjoy opera(by Sarah Brightman)? Some proposed that crab would not feel pain because their nervous system would fail at 25 degree celcius, so it would be a mistake to include them in the welfare laws. Well, what do you think?

23rd Post: Emoness
It's been quite some time since I last blogged, just not in the mood to do so even right now, just doing this to keep the blog alive. I wouldn't really associate 'emo' with me usually, but somehow I got kinda emo plus stressful lately thanks to all those terrible essays topics that I need to write for the university application. All those topics are like wanting to dig into the deepest core of my soul and find out what's really hidden in there. I have to ask myself all sorts of abstract question that test me on my understanding to life and myself. At this rate I will be bald in a few months time... Ok, time to give this emo person some time to calm down...
p/s: OMG, I just thought that it is a coincidence, but one of the university I'm applying to, Colgate University actually have a strong tie with William Colgate, the maker of Colgate Toothpaste!

22nd Post: 'Salesman'
Baaa~sically, this is what happened today: When I passed through the LRT station, I was stopped by a guy. He started with something to do with recycling but after that he began to crap to me in a very natural manner(he spoke in guang dong dialect by the way).
"Where are you from?"
"What are you doing here then?"
"Where are you studying?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
OK~~what the hell has this to do with you? But I answered them politely anyway. Then he showed me a box and said it was 100% handmade by disabled people. Then he once again digress away from the topic and crap again like girls love these handmade stuff and its perfect to put in rings. It was a tactic to distract my attention and yet I didn't notice it at that time.
Finally, he asked me to write my name down on a piece of paper and sign there without telling me what's it for. I was too naive and didn't suspect anything and did what was told even though it is as clear as the bright sun shining at 12pm that his move was as fishy as a fish pie with a fish beside it. Then he finally revealed his true motive and said: "Now how much would you paid to help these poor kid?"
...I paused for a moment as a result of losing track of what's going on. When the truth finally dawned on me, it was already too late and I wrote my name on the paper already. He told me that if I donate at least rm20 I can get the box he showed me earlier but I insisted donating rm10 only.
I actually don't mind donating that rm10 but somehow I think his technique of getting donation ain't that appropriate, it seems to me as some kind of unscrupulous salesman technique which shouldn't be adopted by charity worker. Well, at least I do admit that he has some potential to become a top salesman...

21st Post: Zombie
I feel terrible right now, which is the last thing that should happen after I finished my exam which had lasted for a whole long month. Don't get me wrong, I ain't feeling bad because I did badly in my last paper, even if I do, I won't care right now anyway.
I'll start with the moment which my exam finishes; my friends and I decided to go for dinner together. After that, I was dragged to a nearby cybercafe to play a zombie-shooting-game called 'Left 4 Dead' if my memory serves me right. Playing half way through, I felt that my stomach squirmed and the urge of vomitting struck me unexpectedly. I felt extremely disgusted at the splashing blood and inhumane massacre...like hell, the 3D models are damn fake and anyone who pity the killed zombie must've had excessive compassion that would only possessed by a resident of asylum. In fact, the thing that made me feel like vomitting is the spinning camera(it's in first person viewpoint, which made me even more dizzy), I'm not used to playing this kind of game to begin with, moreover I actually play the game right after I have my dinner. Luckily I pulled out after a while or I would've puke at the computer screen.
This incident further add on to my bad impression towards shooting game, guess I better avoid them once and for all...Anyway, after I finally get the exams part done, it's time to start doing some extensive university research already. University application part is coming soon and there's A LOT to prepare...maybe after I recover from this nauseous feeling, urgh...

20th Post: PAIN
A few day ago, I went to Giant to buy something. Then I heard a terrible song playing from the speaker. The lyrics supposedly sound like 'OH~~Sakitnya jiwa ini~~' and the male singer is singing in such a monotonous voice; unsurprisingly his voice just sounded so~ 'terrific' when combined with the minor tone of the melody. And what echoed in my mind is 'OH~Sakitnya telingaku...'. I tried to ignore it and continue to shop. Then suddenly the singer just raised his pitch and shout the word 'KESAKITAN~~~~~' with a shrilling voice and dragged it on indefinitely to the point that my ear almost bleed. At that instant I feel like just walking out of Giant without buying anything... Conclusion is: It's better to just turn off the radio if the song from it is going to turn away the customers.
After a few days, I went to Giant again... and the same song is playing again~~ What the hell is wrong with it!?

19th Post: Define horror
Warning: the following information is not for children, pregnant woman and those with heart diseases.
On a dark night which the moon was concealed by the stifling cloud, I was walking out of the hostel...
"Hmm? What's that......Aaaarrrrgggghhhh~~!!"
It's...it's...a banner of 'World Halal Forum'! Furthermore, there's...there's this 'Ke arah mencapai integriti halal sedunia' sentence printed on it~~!!
...So, what the hell are they going to discuss during the forum? Worldwide banning of pork? I know peole were threatened by the imminent outbreak of H1N1 virus recently, but I still don't see the point of holding such a forum...
Speaking of which, seems like Malaysia has officially joined the list of countries affected by swine flu, apparently a student who just returned from a trip to America recently was affected by it. Just hope that it wonldn't turned out to be a catastrophic pandemic once again...
I guess that's all for today, actually I have lots to blog these days but no time to do so, back to exam preparation~

18th Post: Happy Labor Day!
It's Labour Day!! Happy Labor Day everyone, this is the day when you can finally reward yourself with some (transient and illusory) break from all your (torturous and unbearable) hard work (affiliated to sadism), have fun~!!... How I wish I can say this to a miserable individual who is going to face the enervating SAT tomorrow... Still, I decided to spare myself some time to update this nearly dilapidated blog before it is being deserted once more.
After being inundated by the whole list of club activities and the young kl singers' unyielding rehearsal schedule, I can finally progress more leniently, or so I think until the fact that I have not prepared enough for my SAT in order to achieve the ideal score soon dawned. Entangled in the cruel netting of fate, I realized the situation is further exacerbated when the harsh reality that I'll be having my A-levels mock exam and SAT simultaneously, which implies that I'll have to make a painful decision of which to prioritize. After careful deliberation, SAT won and so I'm pretty much obssesed with it for the past few weeks, not a pleasant experience though.
And so, the judgement day is finally approaching -- I'll be taking SAT tomorrow! Wish me luck~! Ok then, I should stop dawdling and go back to study. By the way, I guess I won't be updating the blog in a while due to the incoming A-levels external exams. Till next time...
p/s: Please disregard the florid language, I'm just practicing for SAT.:)
