But I am sad to say that I can no longer maintain both blog due to the fact that I have restarted my study life in college and found it more taxing.
I will continue to maintain the original blog.

Epidemic!!
A pepper spray has two functions..
1. the normal function : to get rid of robbers or thieves or assaulters.
2. cancel your lecture classes or anything happening in a room for a whole day.
How??
by causing a coughing epdemic.
Today at lecture, someone accidentally sprayed some (note it wasn't much) of the pepper spray contents into the lecture room.
Freak accident. Hiyah!! girls.....
Anyway, it cause a coughing fit to everyone in the radius of 10 feet, or everyone in that close airconed room.
You could actually see the cough spreading from the spray zone (ground zero) to across the room from row to row and column to column. Effect were wow!!
Of course, lessons resumed as normal, the amount sprayed out was to little to keep the epidemic alive for than 5 minutes.
So.... want to desrupt your lecture? Release the whole contents of your pepper spray into a fully closed air - conditioned room. The results: devastating.
Try it. And then come back here and tell me about it.

OF Camps
Question: Are camps camps or torture camps?
Sometimes it is torture camps. Would you pay someone to so that you could go for a camp and slept only 2 hours a day, where they make you do thinks that would degrade you (crawling in mud, walking in the night by graveyards) just so you can become a better person? But there are thousands, maybe hundreds of people just doing that.
In my previous school, prefect camps were terrible camps, every year the quality of the camp goes down the fees go up and so does the torture.
This year their camp was although planed by their committee but was taken over by the people at the campsite. Leadership is by example not by doctrine. I personally don't think that it is right to turn a leadership camp into an extreme physical camp. Undoubtedly, some people who are more outgoing tend to enjoy the camp even if it means getting dirty (like the reality show Survivor). however there are those who don't appreciate this.
As campers, or potential ones, esp. the prefect in my previous school, you do have human rights. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do. Nor can anyone stop you from receiving essential necessities.
Leadership is not all physical training. Leadership is more on wisdom, how to conduct one's self, how to be responsible and how to relate to others. A thin man can win a strong man if the thin guy is smart enough.
I am not saying physical training is not good, I saying that it is useless to be strong without any brains. Use your mind, would it be wise to go for a camp, with too much physical training, without enough sleep, food, deprived of cleanliness, etc. and go back a few days later 100% exhausted and perhaps sick?
Think about it. Sometimes camps or activities like this cause more harm than good.
Recommended Camp to go: NSCFL Camp (National School Christian Fellowship Leadership Camp, held every year the last week of November.

Petrol Price Hike
Once again the price of petrol has gone up. Everyone is complaining, murmuring and rushing for petrol before the new price comes into effect.
However, our country's petrol price is still the lowest ever. There are no petrol subsidies in the USA or Europe. The people there don't complain so much, they resort to the public transport.
We should also. but our transportation system is in the Shams. Perhaps you can say the system in KL and the Klang Valley is better, but in the other states? It is just the public buses, cabs and the KTM train.
Now that some subsidy of petrol is removed, I wonder what are they going to do with the extra money. To build more houses?? or Spend it on themselves??
The government instead of just remove all the subsidy. But they must compensate that with a world class transportation system, not just in KL and Klang Valley but every part of Malaysia. This should have been done years ago instead of giving the public subsidies. Now to remove all the subsidies and to slowing start investing into the public transport system is hazardous.
They should gradually remove the subsidy and pace up on providing an excellent transport system. The Putra LRT is a very good venture and if this is done in every state, most of the public will use it.
How to save petrol:
1. Invest in solar power to power your house, 90% of the countries electricity is produced by burning fuel. I believe that can be stop almost entirely if each of us invest a few thousand ringgit into solar panels. Solar power is ample in Malaysia who has direct sunlight from 7 to 7 almost everyday.
2. Bicycle around, use more bicycles to travel. In Paris thousands of people their uses bicycles to get from one place to another. We could do that if we did not have to be so vary of the hazardous traffic. The government could build more bicycle lanes and promote the use of bicycles.
3. Share cars (carpool), this has been in the papers every time the petrol price goes up.
4. Public transport, although it is late and dirty, try using it to get to places that is along the bus route.
5. Don't just go to town to do one thing, accumulate everything you want to do in a certain area and do it all in one trip. It saves petrol to do that.
6. Invent, you can always try to invent a car that does not run on petrol, try something like water. Maybe one day water will run your engine. There is always NGV (natural gas vehicles) although natural gas stations are rare.
7. Change cars, perhaps to cars that consume less petrol. Please don't chage your car from a Myvi to a Mercedes Benz. Try car that run on both petrol and water. The government should reduce taxation on such imported cars.
8. read the newspaper, they give you many ideas on how to save petrol.

Are You Sure?? Nuclear Power???
The Star Newspaper reported that the government is mulling over perhaps the used of Nuclear Power - to reduce carbon dioxide emission from burning fuel to produce electricity.
It might be a good idea but in my opinion, I think that is a wrong idea.
Nuclear Power no doubt cleaner than thermal energy and doesn't destroy the environment like hydro power. But there are other effects.
1. nuclear power plants are like nuclear bomb, although there are safety measures to prevent leaks or explosion, there are still chances that it may explode or leak. When this happens, the area around it becomes contaminated and the whole area will become toxic for the next few decades. Realise that man has not come out with a cure to clean up such sites.
2. the nuclear waste - what are we going to do with it. The waste is dangerous if exposed to unprotected state, the waste can kill.
Don't use nuclear power, it is dangerous and can kill....
We in Malaysia can survive with another different source that is free and does not contaminate the environment at all.
Solar Power... being a country in almost on the equator, has 365 days of sunlight from 7am to 7pm.. it is the best option. If everyone buys a few panel to their houses, there will be no need for nuclear power and we can keep the hydrogen generators for emergency and reduced or remove the usage of thermal energy..
Thus cutting the nation's fuel consummation as well as carbon emission.
Three cheers for SOLAR ENERGY
Maybe the government does not promote this energy source because it will cause certain companies in the energy field to close down.
