The Spirit of Volunteerism

          It was an eye opening experience for me and my friends who visited the Furry Friends Farm. It was my first time to be a volunteer. The farm is located in a secluded corner and it took almost 1 hour 30 minutes to get there from Petaling Jaya. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly greeted by the friendly barks of our canine friends. All eager and excited to meet us, they were jumping up and down wagging their tails, all in the hopes of getting a pat on the head and perhaps even a hug. There are 150 cats and 250 dogs. Most of us are first time to saw a huge number of dogs and cats in the shelter.

       As we interacted with Uncle Mun, the leader of the farm, we came to realize how huge of a responsibility he carries by managing 150 cats and 250 dogs in total with limited number of volunteers from time to time. His patience and loving passion towards the homeless animals is definitely something that should be highlighted. 

       Our first activity was to feed the cats, and we paid close attention to how they would take turns to eat their meals in a group without fighting each other unlike some street cats out there. Besides, we also try not to give too much attention to particular cats, especially those which are more aggressively behaved so as to not cause them to fight among each other. In contrast, there were also some cats which were very introverted, coming out from hidden corners for food only after each cat had theirs, or hiding away when approached. Then, according to Uncle Mun, were once victims of physical and mental abuse by their previous owners. Although we were unable to enter the cage, we saw how Uncle Mun handled them with leadership skills, despite being roughly swarmed by them, which is the way dogs show their affection rather than being harmful. One particular dog, which lost his left eye sight were very active and let out instead of being kept in the cage since it would escape the cage every time.

     Another special highlight is Rajoo, the one and only goat which grew up with the dogs since young and his dog-like behaviour.

 

He is Rajoo, the 'dog-goat' who was rescued by Sabrina Yeap when he was 2 months old and about to be slaughtered. He was called the dog-goat because he eats dog kibbles, sniffs other dogs' bottoms and hangs around with dogs. He doesn't eat grass and surely doesn't know how it tastes like.

        Many volunteers come from all over the state of Selangor and Penang. Some of them are come for every weekend just because of their incredible passion and love for these homeless dogs and cats. 

       From this experience, I have learnt the spirit of volunteerism from other volunteers. These homeless dogs and cats are needs our helping hand. Give these poor dogs a chance to live. Don't ever try calling the local council or private dog catching companies to catch them. You are just giving them death sentence. They certainly deserve to live and share this world with us.

Angel versus Demon

Do you have an angel's face and demon's heart?

I strongly believe that everyone has an angel and a demon in their body.  Every people should has brightest side and darkest side. The demon in our mind is keep on instigate us to do the wrong things but the angel in our mind is convince us don't do so. There is a war between angel and demon in our mind.

For some reason, we have to being a demon. That's why I said most of the people have angel's face and demon's heart. We cannot be an angel all the time. No one is kind all the time. Anyway, kindness is precious. As Emma Goldman said that "No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure".

I think I have angel's soul and demon's mind. I will be kind at most of the time. However, there is also has the evil things in my mind. I believe that my mind control is strong, able to analyse and control my action. 

Creative Thinking

        I have to admit. It's not easy to being a creative person. However, I had learn a lot in CTIG's class. 

Creative Thinking

A way of looking at problems or situations from a fresh perspective that suggests unorthodox solutions

The most important part of  creative thinking is my ability to generate ideas.  And the greater the quantity of ideas that I generate, the greater the quality my ideas will be.  The more ideas I have, the more likely I have the right idea at the right time. However, it's really hard for me. As Thomas Edison once wrote, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.”

Besides that, the first quality is that creative thinkers are intensely curious.  They are always asking questions.  They ask questions like “Why?” very much like children do all the time. Then they ask, “Why not?”  “Why can’t we do it?”  “Even if it hasn’t been done before, can it be done now?” I think that is a way to get some inspiration by asking questions.

 The most valuable lesson that I had learn in CTIG's class is to admit when I'm wrong and continue to learn.   Because truly intelligent, highly creative people are open minded, fluid, flexible and willing to both change their mind and admit that they are wrong when their earlier decisions turn out to be incorrect.

If Death Note was real

Let's say the Death Note was real and one just fell in front of me and I figured out that its a notebook that if I write a persons name down they die. Would I continue to use it and if I did would I use it for good or evil or would I never touch it again cause I couldn't take a life no matter what?

It’s a really tough question to answer. I know most people would be like “I wouldn't feel right taking it.” “It wouldn't be right.” But what do you think you would truly do?

Well, honestly, I do think my curiosity would get the better of me, so I would pick it up. Even if it was just to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. I would probably try using it once on someone extremely dangerous or someone who killed lots of people.

In that case, I wouldn't feel bad writing the name (he was later sentenced to death), and it would be a way to test if the book really works. If it actually worked, I might burn the book, because having that kind of power is incredibly dangerous and incredibly final.

Humans can be very emotionally-driven creatures. What if you had a bad day, and just decided to start writing names in the Death Note just because? The clerk at McDonald’s that got your order wrong, that teacher you don’t like, that man that screwed you out of whole lot of money, that girlfriend or boyfriend treated you like crap.

It's extremely dangerous if Death Note found in the real life especially it fall to the evil's people. Its must be a tragedy started. 

Be a Super Women

 I always thinking the same question...

How fantastic if I have the super powers ?

There are 4 awesome super powers that I wish to have:

1) Flight

    Who doesn't want to be able to fly? I can fly like Superman or   Neo or several thousand species of bird. Imagine that I'm flying in the sky with high speed and zoom through the air unaided as well!! This is so awesome!! 

2) Super Strength
    This is the most common super power for every superhero ever. I still remember that the moment Superman caught that airliner in movie "Superman Returns". Of course, I'm not going to catch the airliner. I think this is awesome because I can use this super power to get the job done more easily. Maybe I will be a superwomen to help people. Who knows? 

3) Telepathy

    This is an most awesome super power for me! I can can read people's thoughts. I should be able to tell when somebody's thinking about committing a crime and stop them before they can do it, right? Besides that,  I can find out what people really think about me. 

4) Invisibility

     I can do whatever things when people can't see me. I have to admit, this one would be a Hell of a lot more useful for committing crime than stopping it. For me, I will fully use this super power to go my favourite idol's concert! Its free entry because nobody can see me! This really sounds good! 

     It will be awesome if I have this 4 types of super power. In fact, I know I don't really have to use the full extent of any superpower to make life more interesting. I just need to use it in a way that may seem normal to others. However, its still a good question for me to think about it---"If I had super powers".

Who am I ?? I'm others.

 The awkward moment when somebody ask me to tell more about myself, and I'm like: ......

Oh god, who am I ?

I'm quiet.

I'm random.

I'm calm.

I'm crazy.

I'm mature.

I'm funny.

That are what other peoples judge me. I didn't say that are not me but what I wanna to say is "Never judge a people from the surface". In fact, I'm struggling with the question "Who am I meant to be?" Nothing can help me figure out what really defines me. Maybe I don't understand myself enough. Well, I want to think about it seriously from now on.

If I can choose, I want to be a bird. I like freedom. It's tired to begin an human. I don't like the complicated things. I'm just a simple person. In my deeper heart, I'm just a little girl. Sometimes, I have to arm myself in order to protect myself. I don't like to be fake but it's the way to protect myself. Every people has two side which are bright side and dark side. There are one angel and one demon living in my body. Which is the real me ? In fact, I'm angel and demon as well. I have to control my dark side instead the demon control me. No one is kind. Just depends on how we control our darkest side.

Sometimes, I really want to forget my academic, a role of student, forget everything to find out what I really want to be. Everyday has many choice waiting me to decide. I don't know whether I have make the right decision or not. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I just want to be a better me. Peace :))

I'm comic's fan !!

I had read many comic books before. Most of them are Japan Manga. 

Why do I love comics? 

This is a tough question for me as I never expected to become I comics fan.

I didn't start reading manga until about my mid-teens and I thought I would be indifferent to it, but since I loved anime so much I thought I would give it a try to read manga and I loved it! 

I've read so many different manga over the years.

One of the impressive comic book that I had read is "Kuroshitsuji".

When I was reading this manga I was constantly thinking "this has to be a 9/10 manga" and I still stick by my words. I loved how the manga was set in Victorian England, and how the characters were all nobles and explored how evil they were. The plot is wonderful dark and depressing and it really explores the characters emotional problems. The characters are very interesting, even though the spotlight is on Ciel and Sabastian ( two main characters ), Sabastian alone is a fantastic character. The light humour and jokes in this manga is actually funny as well! They are so well placed you cannot help but laugh. Even the art-style is good and does an excellent job. After I finish this comic I still enjoy the art and even re-read it from time to time.

Now a lot of people seem to think comic books are dumb, childish, stupid, etc. But those are the people who have never read them!
