A petition

We, the concerned youths of Malaysia express appalled anger towards the Slim River Bus Crash incident that claimed the life of Lee Nian Ning, Mohd. Zailani and Pang Boon Eng on the 25^th of January 2008. This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Despite numerous complaints and public uproar in the past, incidents like this continue to occur. It was reported that the driver’s company had 13 summonses on that bus itself. We find it unacceptable that such a company could have operated that vehicle on the road.

What are the explanations?

Hundreds of thousands of university students just like Nian Ning and us rely on such public transport to travel back home. A human life should not be taken lightly.

How could a vehicle with 13 summonses be free on the roads and not be held by the authorities?

We, the following, hereby demand that the relevant authorities set up a committee consisting of road safety experts and representatives from relevant public bodies to conduct a thorough study to find effective solutions to ensure that mistakes like this do not occur again in the future.

We will not be quiet until we see it in the media that satisfactory measures have been taken.

Shock

IPOH: The driver of a double-decker express bus that saw three of its passengers killed in a crash near Slim River on Friday had 13 outstanding police summonses issued against him.

Records in www.myeg.com.my revealed that Ruslim Isa, 43, who was sent to the Teluk Intan Hospital for a broken right leg after the 5.55pm accident, had seven summonses issued against him for speeding, five for illegal overtaking and one for not using an overhead bridge.

The summonses, amounting to RM2,660, dated as far back as 2000.

The accident occurred at KM382 of the highway between Slim River and Behrang during a downpour.

Slim River deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Adzhar Othman said that blood samples taken from Ruslim would be sent to the Chemistry Department, while the remains of the bus would also be sent to Puspakom for analysis on Monday.

"At this point, we cannot yet ascertain the cause of the accident, whether or not it is due to human or technical error.

"Investigations are still ongoing," he said.

The crash, which had initially killed two passengers - Mohd Zailani Mustafa, 23, of Sungai Nibong, Bayan Lepas, Penang, and Lee Nian Ning, 21, of Taman Gelugor, Penang - claimed its third victim on Saturday.

The news came so suddenly that i found it really hard to believe. Nian Ning, the pretty, young, talented and well respected senior of MGS passed away yesterday just like that. Though i might not have known her well, hearing that someone so young and capable is no longer here still shakes me to the core. I've always thought that she would become really successful in the future but i've never expected this to happen. It really goes to show that no one, absolutely no human on earth knows what the future holds.
I cannot bear to imagine what her close friends and family are feeling right now...
Eventhough you may not be here anymore but you will always be remembered by us juniors of MGS. Rest in peace, Nian Ning.

Heath Ledger.
Nian Ning.
Who next??
...You have this perception that you're still young and you have plenty of time to fool around, party and enjoy life. Death, to you is like such a distant thing. All you care about now is your earthly possessions, upcoming parties, love interests, social cliques, wealth, exams, ambitions....and everything else under the sun. You worry and worry about the future, plan and plan about becoming rich & successful, study hard and play harder....You're just contented living in what you think is a good and complete life but,

Is your life really complete?

Who knows if your life will be taken from you this very instant? Or the next hour? Or tomorrow??

Have YOU given the slightest thought about death? About what happens after dying?

Most importantly, Are YOU ready?

(the 'you' mentioned above is a general term, not aimed at anyone who reads this)

-----------------------------------

The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, "What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops."

Then he said, "This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

And I'll say to myself,"You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."

But God said to him, "You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?"

Happyness.

NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEKEND! WHOPEEEEEEEE!

FINALLY. A BLISFULL WEEKEND WHERE I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT FINISHING HOMEWORK.

I SHALL GO RELAX NOW.
=D =D

Procrastination

Here i am halfway through the moral essay which i conveniently forgot about until a few hours ago and im' STILL not done...I'm sleepy, i have not done the last further maths qusetion, i'm tired and i can't type coherently. I'm depending on you to show me the errors, red dotted lines!

...4 more pantang larangs to go.

Going to college costs so much. *sigh* Money money money. The thought of how much my parents are paying for me really drives me to want to do well. Who am i kidding, of course i want to do well! Just thinking of WHEN i can actually study. Can't seem to find time at the momeent. Also, the thought of everything that they do or rather, sacrifice for me makes me want to pay them back in so many many ways.

No further maths, no moral, no GP, no Chem tutorial on Wednesday! WHEEEEEEEE! Best of all, no waking up at 6.45!
LALALALALA.

[insert title]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIMY!!!
[insert birthday song 5 Science 1 style]
You're getting older..=P
Have a wonderful birthday. =)


I guess there are many MANY people out there like us, the 'same species' like Krystal so aptly put it. We have the passion, the fire and the desire burning within to fulfill our purpose in life as the youth of today yet we have circumstances. Challenges. Roadblocks. Though i believe we'll emerge victorious for we have help. Nothing is impossible. All things will come together. =) One day, we'll be free to shout it out to the world.



Never are we free from homework. *sigh*
Mechanics, Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics. Speaking of FUrther Maths, I need help again.I don't feel like squeezing my brain. Niresh, where you? How to sketch the r^2 curves?

Huh..today's Open Day at NS camps. Oh well.
!!!!
Forgot about Moral essay!
10 pantang larangs and the rasional di sebaliknya. Bla bla..
*sigh*
I'll do that sometime later...much later...
Blogger is acting funny with the font size in this part. Silly thing.
I COMMAND YOU TO RETURN TO NORMAL.

*whacks computer*

Nope. Still no change.

YUM

I wish somebody would be so extremely nice to do this for me. The guy actually bought the WHOLE TUB of Haagen Dazs ice cream leh. I want!!! *salivates*
Lynn, i would buy you a scoop. Somebody else can get the cake. Put my ice cream and the cake together and voila! you have your ice cream cake. =D

I just had a thought.
...Is this what you call a bimbo blog?
*gasp*
Like if this is a bimbo post in a bimbo blog then i'd be like a bimbo!
Equation : let this blog be a.
let this post be x.
this post, x is part of this blog.
=> x is an element of a
f(x)=a
I shall not think anymore.
This hurts my brain like so much.
Like Ouch.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
This is really so pointless.
This is what happens when you get bored. ^^
and this is how i rate my classes according to intersting-ness of lectures:
physics>further maths>maths>chemistry
though it's a tough fight between maths and chemistry.
It's a known fact that moral is nowhere near any of these subjects.
AAANNND we actually PAY money to learn this dry, tasteless stuff called moral.

Edit : I take back my ratings. They're all equally sleep inducing. Even Physics..especially 5pm classes. Cept Further Maths. That will cause me to not sleep.

Of Asymptotes, ranges & instersections

Felt really blurr in Further Maths today. I even got -1 x 3 wrong...
Everybody else so smart wan. No fair!
Guess it was my own fault for not being motivated enough to try harder on curve sketching during the weekend.
What happened was that once i noticed a similar pattern in the questions, that being unfactorise-able equations, i just stopped doing.
So, without the values, i couldn't proceed to the 2nd part, and the 3rd and 4th and so on...
It just ended with me being really frustrated and whole lot of unfinished homework which i conveniently left untouched until today.

Arrgh..Must start the nerding process again...someday...soon...
Once AS rolls around, i'm sure it'll be like SPM all over again.

Saw some new people in class today.
U-Jen and another girl i knew but can't recall her name.
Don't think she remembers me anyway.
Ah well.
I think i shall have fried rice tomorrow...if they sell that in the canteen.

School aside, I now know that Pos Laju costs a whopping RM 5.20.
