We were in History lecture the other day, discussing about the multiracial community in Malaysia. During this lecture, our lecturer En Hamdan asked us about what type of topics the Malays, Chinese and Indians in Malaysia talk about when they are in a group. Malays will always talk about politics, Chinese about business and economics, while Indians.. Well, I kinda forgot what they talk about. Hehhee.. Anyhow, this is true. Weird kan? I thought that the races were divided during old days before Merdeka. Tengok2 sekarang pun ade jugak.
Anyway, this got me thinking. What do guys and gals usually talk about when they are in their groups? Hmm.. Lets see.. I asked around.. Me and Kak Di (who is kak put by the way) asked a few boys about what they’d normally discuss among the boys. ONE: Cars/Motors. TWO: Games. THREE: Football. FOUR: Work. FIVE: Cool Gadgets. Hmm.. Did you notice that they don’t talk about us girls?
The topic of discussion among girls.. ONE: Boys. TWO: Guys. THREE: Fashion. FOUR: Boys again. FIVE: Guys again. Hmmm… Well girls..? What’s this?
It kinda comes to a shock that the main topic of discussion among a group of girls would be about the opposite gender. It wont really matter what the topic is, but it would certainly evolve around guys. Haiyaaa.. Ape nak jadi nih?
That was a quick survey done by me and a few friends. Anyone have any other opinions on this? Do tell..
P/s: we are talking about the majority of people here.. don’t take this survey too seriously =P

A question to Ponder
Today, in Psychology class our lecturer gave us a question to answer. His habit would be that at the end of each class, he’ll ask us to take out a piece of paper, he’ll ask a question and we’d have to write our answers and submit them to him for his reading. The question today was interesting.
“Do you think the person you are today is influenced by your family?”
Interesting ain’t it? =) It certainly made my hand write. The people around me were all questioning themselves what to write. In my opinion, if your answer to the question is yes, then it would be really easy to elaborate coz I’d say that they’ll be writing honestly. The problem would come to those who are not aware of their surroundings, or somewhat in a troubled family. That would be hard. The people who’d answer no would also be difficult to answer honestly. Since the papers we submit are required to write our names, maybe some are too ashamed to write honestly. There are so many factors.
“What was my answer?” I hear you ask =) Hehe.. Truthfully, I wrote 2/3 of the whole A4 paper. I love my family dearly and I could have written longer if Ju didn’t mention the fact that my answer was kinda long.
Well, all I can say is Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah for giving me such a loving family. They are my motivation, my inspiration and the very definition of undying love.

Mixed Feelings
As I walk into the new building at Vision City, I find myself remembering our beloved late Ms Puteri Zalina Addnan. At the moment, I am writing bcoz of her, while listening to the song that reminds me so much of her. Each lyric, each note, each melody.
Moving into the new building does bring lots of feelings.
Excitement, enthusiasm, sadness, anger and loathing. All mixed up together creating what I would call an unstable individual. It kinda dangerous bcoz one day it might just blow right in my face.
It is exciting to finally walk into the new building that we have been promised since I was still in diploma.. I feel enthusiastic to start a new semester, wanting to work as hard as I should and bring my grades up.
But sadness comes into the picture where I will no longer be able to tag along and have laughs with Ms Put. It’s so sad to start afresh with no one there to brighten your day when it becomes blue. Walking into the HEP Office, no longer with the purpose of just saying hi or wanting to ask if everything is ok. I no longer have the enthusiasm to take note what is happening around me, the activities going on, the actions to be taken into account.
I’m angry becoz there are so many changes made by certain individuals which I know would never have happened if she was still here with us. She was an influential person, so now that she’s no longer with us, people just change things. She fought for the students, the students loved her. Now that she’s gone, there’s no longer a force to help us fight.
Its sad to walk around the corridors never being able to meet her kind smile or hear her cheerful laugh. Its also saddening to know for a fact that she’ll never be able to experience this new building she fought for so much.
Ms, I miss you so much. My prayers are always with you.
