现在是一个知识爆炸的时代，人类所吸收的知识量也不断增加。就在这时候，人们的思想也越来越丰富，一旦没有正确的思想观念，滥用所拥有的智慧，那么许多恐怖的事情都会发生。现今社会出现了许多新的讯息，在讯息还没演变成真理之前，我们都不应该轻易相信它，以免受到错误讯息的影响而误导下一代。何谓真理？古代中国注重的孝道就是真理，三千年前的人类要孝顺，如今的人类也要孝顺，千千万万年以后的人类也是一样要孝顺。真理才是真正大家接受的，你在任何一个地方推广孝道，不会没人喜欢的。因此在这个时代，分辨是与非是件及其重要的事情。
我们的祖先在这方面非常懂事。中国是世界上最早发明火药的国家，不过，他们却没有大量地使用火药来攻击他国，而是用它来保护自己。通常他们都是用火药来制造炮竹，烟火等，以便把佳节气氛弄得更热闹。古时候的中国不是不文明，他们也不是笨，不大量出产火药来赚钱。我们的祖先非常有远见，他们会顾虑到如果大量生产火药，那么很多人将会滥用它来引起战争，最后受影响的将会是他们的下一代。古代中国是人文与科技两方面都文明的，不过他们非常注重人文发展，他们都懂得这么的一个道理，数理教育只用在一时；人文教育则用在一生。
人文教育是非常重要的，它教导我们如何朝向正确的观念去思考，有了正确的观念之后我们就不会迷失方向，滥用智慧来干伤天害理的事情。正如以上所说的：数理教育只用在一时；人文教育则用在一生。我们学习数理，可以应用那些知识来应付考试，在工作上发挥所长。但是我们学习人文，生活上许多事情都是与它息息相关，我们都不断地在应用这知识。一个人的成就再怎么好，一旦品行不好，也不是什么了不起的人。
这些都是古代人与现代人的分别。

有得也有失
从出事到现在，已将近一个多月了。偶尔还会回想起而感到害怕与难过。最近学校考试成绩也出炉了，唉...... 考得真烂！也因此而搞到这几天的心情七上八下。
上星期，退休已久的ex-leader为一班孩子们举办讲座会。我也参与在内。其实，我发现我比一般的同学幸福多了。上了中六以后，就没有机会再接触到人文教育了。一般中六的学生都为他们的学业拼到要生要死，搞到自己的心里面只有学业，而忽略了许多有趣的事物。人文发展其实是很重要的，孔老夫子收学生，并不注重到底那个学生聪不聪明，而是注重那个学生的品行。‘品学兼优’这四个字，品永远是在学的前面，可见古时中国人是多么地注重一个人的品行多过学问。一个多有学问的人若没有良好的品行，也只不过是‘鸟人’一个！偶尔我也想读一些关系到人文发展的书刊，以平衡自己的心理。
今天，我与这一班孩子有了有史以来最近距离的接触。上任至今，这应该是唯一一次有那么的一个机会让我了解他们。如果我没出事而导致没车子用，我想应该有机会跟他们谈这么多。从今天起，我会比以前更了解他们。人类就是那么地奥秘，不同人有不同的性格，人与人之间是需要时间来互相了解的。最重要的是不要对任何人有偏见，一旦是人，都会有改变的一天。‘路遥知马力，日久见人心’，这句话，相信受过华文教育的人都懂，但是有多少人会应用在日常生活呢？我自认我不是个明眼人，我不会分辨好人与坏人。不过，我只相信人都会有改变的一天。若我真的不信遇到坏人，那只有预防咯，难道要他对我不仁，我对他不意吗？
经过今天，我会更有信心治理好这个团体！

Sick...
About 40 hours ago, I was suffering from fever... It was a damn midnight for me because I can't fall as sleep. I think I slept for not more than 3 hours. Haiz...the next day still got school.
During that midnight, I have thought a lot of stupid things... "OMG! If I get H1N1, what am I going to do???" and "If I get dengue fever? How it's going to be?" The whole night I keep on shivering even though the fan is not on... After that, I have made my decision not to go to school in the next morning.
I was awaked at 4.00am, that time i felt that I get better. Then I have changed my mind to go to school because there are many things need to be done (I don't mean that attend lesson). My juniors will come and see me for form signature, I have to remind my friend about the details of coming competition...
After a few minutes I reached school, I have already regreted that I have made a wrong decision. My fever is getting worst and there bad news reported by my junior...Haiz...damn meaningless going to school.
After school dismissal, I went to a Government Clinic to seek for doctor. I got there about 2.20pm and there was only a lab assistant there. She told me that the Malays are going out for the Friday prayer, therefore they only will be opened by 2.45pm. There's no problem for me to wait since my fever is getting better. After 2.45pm, there are a lot of patients waiting at the registration counter and the worker there doing things very slowly. Haiz... it makes me wait for about 15 minutes to get my number.
Finally, is my turn to see doctor. I went inside the room and told him that i got fever. He asked me a lot whether I got flu, cough or any red dots on my body. I wondering that is he suspecting me for H1N1. The answer is NO! He just want to confirm that whether am I suffering from dengue fever. Then he also asked the nurse to 'withdraw' my blood for blood test.
The result of the test was.... "NORMAL!" Haha...so sweat...

Sears Tower Rename...(Willis Tower)
Sears Towers is located at Chicago Illinois in United States of America since 1973. It is a 108 stories skyscrapper and was the tallest builiding in the world before surpassed by Petronas Twin Towers in our country.
By today onwards, Sears Tower will be gone. It will be renamed as Willis Tower that introduced by a British Company called Willis Group Holding, Ltd. Sears Tower that widely known by everyone over three decades will become a history since Willis Tower was offcially renamed on July 16, 2009.
Over 90,000 people have joined the group "People Against the Sears Tower Name Change" on the social net working Web site - Facebook. We can see that how aggresive American are in protecting Sears Tower against from name change.

Chinese Dialect That I Speak (Taishanese)
Many people were asked about what kind of Chinese Dialect do I speak with my family, my answer is : "Taishan Hua or Xinning Wa (in Hokkien)". Recently, I just found it in Wikipedia and I realized that in English we call it as Taishanese. It is a bit sounds like Cantonese but it still many differents between them.
Taishan is the origin of Taishanese, it is located in Guangdong Provice of China and situated at southwest of Guangzhou. Taishanese also known as Xinning but seems that not many people speak it in Malaysia. By the way, about 70% of Chinese Americans are made up from Taishanese. That's why sometimes we heard that Chinese that migrated to America known as 'Kam San Ah Pak' (in Cantonese). Because many Taishanese were migrated to California esspecially San Francisco during the earlier stage of 20th-century. Nowadays, Taishanese is widely speak by Chinese Americans that stay in chinatowns.
Actually last time Taishanese was widely spoken in Penang too but seems when it was replaced by Hokkien. My grandpa also told me that many Chinese immigrants were Taishanese. When I viewing my Graduation Magazine, I also found that many students written there their China Province origin were Taishan. It can be conclude that there are many Taishanese in Malaysia.
Appreciate your dialect, speak it always whenever you can...Haha

I'm STEAM Today!!!
Today as usual, drive my 'mini Kancil' to school early in the morning. Actually I feel that I'm weird because every Monday wake up early sure "STEAM"! Maybe I don't have a good night sleep every Sunday night and results that I lack of spirit in the next day morning.
When on the way driving to school, I met with an accident! Haiz...it was very unlucky (or SUI in Hokkien)... When I reached to the end of the Yeap Chor Yee Road and going to turn left into Jalan Masjid Negeri (or Greenlane that known by everyone), suddenly I saw a car tried to overtake the car infront and enter my lane (left lane and I should keep at the left because there are many cars on the right lane)...(actually I'm not good in describing). I'm very "STEAM" that time and the car already knocked my 'mini Kancil' and the sound (Krak! Kark! Krak!) can be heard... OMG...then the driver got down from the car and me too...
Luckily his car was a little bit scratches while the Kangaroo Bar of my 'mini Kancil' was out of shape... Haiz... the uncle somemore said that I should stop at the junction and I also "Steam Steam" apologize... SWEAT!!! He told me: " I think it will not cost much ler...can i get your phone no.?" Actually I want to reply him this way : "No need to get your car for service also...please lah!! Like that also want me to pay for it???" These are what my mind thinking but I have no mood to 'shoot' him...Haha
Since that place is not suitable for us to stop there, so he just got my phone no. and we leaved... Luckily he didn't call me ...
Afternoon one of my friend call me and concerned about the incident... I feel surprised about that because she is not same school with me and I only tell those classmates... After she explain, just realized that she saw me dealing with the incident this morning... Haha...A bit 'sia sui'...
It was very unlucky for me today...

Work That Not Been Done (Homework I Mean!!!)
There are a lot of homework given by the teachers in school... Haha! Esspecially the Maths T teacher - Mr. Yeap. Actually I don't mind he give a lot of exercises, perhaps I don't know to answer the questions...Haiz! Seniors said that he is good in teaching Maths and ask me should be proud taught by him...
Sometimes I feel guilty that I'm not doing well, the girls in the class complete their homework all the time. Seniors told me that: "Be like the girls!". It doesn't mean that ask we guys to be girlish...instead learn from them how to be hardworking in study. Sometimes I also feel that the girls treat the classroom like the office, so focus on their homework and didn't talk to each other at all....I really admire them in this case.
Our Chemistry teacher - Mr. Ong is a very dutiful teacher... Although he don't have much experiences in teaching lower six, he still try his best to teach and make sure all the students done the exercise that been given. Unfortunatelly...I'm the one who didn't do his homework...Haha.
