OUR FIRST OFFICIAL COVER. ENJOY!

CHILDLIKE

Have you ever sat in a room full of children? Sit there and notice, how innocent they actually are. I mean excluding certain child geniuses who have big plans of taking over the world and such, then again, how often does that actually happen? A smile, a tear, a frown is exactly what it is coming from a child.

As we grow older, a smile may not exactly be what it is. It can be a cheeky smile, an evil smile, a fake smile. What happened to the times when a smile was just a smile? The time where a smile actually meant "My brain is sending impulses to tell my face to show this expression because of how happy I am on the inside." 

Then it makes you think, what actually happens in the growing up process? What do we learn? When did we become so "un-innocent"? Is it something that comes with maturity? When did it start to be wrong to be childlike? Not childish, but childlike. When we were kids, our faith was simple. We simply believed. We hoped for the best. We did not let anything come between us and realizing our imaginations. We simply believed they would work just because. When did we start learning to make things complicated? When did we start giving up so easily? 

Shouldn't we be braver, better, stronger than when we were kids? It's just sickening and tiring to listen or see news where adults behave worst than children. Beyond childish. When we were young, wrong was wrong, right was right. There was no in between. When did we started to create a grey area? As we grow older, shouldn't we have more faith, and the capacity to exercise bigger faith? Think.

ASHA ON DRUGS

I don't normally re post what people write, but this is something worth reading, especially since it's coming from Asha Gabby Prunella Blake Windsor Casigrahi Venkatramanan. Thanks pops for allowing me to re post. 

ASHA ON DRUGS

RULES AND REGULATIONS

"Without any law, there would be no criminals"

Well, there isn't much to agree or disagree with the statement. It's more of a sit down and think about it statement. True, if there were no laws defined to be broken, everything is morally good to be done, but without law, there would be no peace as well.

Personally, I think laws should exist, but within the proper limitations of what it should be. It shouldn't be something so complicated. 

According to Wikipedia: (This is what came out when I typed rules)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_(sociology)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral

To me, rules are just meant to be something that holds civilization together. Something that everyone should agree on to prevent the whole world from going chaos. It shouldn't be so detailed and complicated to the point it restricts people too much from living. Sure this only may occur in an ideal world where people aren't constantly thinking of themselves, but imagine, how convenient life would be if we didn't have to always worry about what rule we are about to break when we take one step. What's worst, we now even have unspoken rules, or traditions that people seem to love to follow. A believe that something should or should not be done in a certain way, just because everyone else is doing it. It sounds too abstract, let me give you an example. Like a club or an association, they have farewell dinners and gatherings like that. Every year, the committee follows "traditions" of the past year, simply because of "tradition's" sake. Come to think of it, it looks really stupid now. It's like organizing a party without thinking. It just feels like it's done out of duty rather than doing an event for the purpose of the event. Unspoken rules like the leader of an organization or committee should always be a male. Sure, times have changed and people are starting to switch their point of views, but somehow in their mind set, a leader should always be a man. Even statistics have shown 

(According to Wikipedia)

In the workplace, unspoken rules can have a significant impact on one’s job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, and career trajectory. For example, research conducted in the United States by the Level Playing Field Institute and the Center for Survey Research and Analysis at the University of Connecticut revealed that 36% of white women, 37% of women of color, and 33% of men of color identified the fact that only certain people are part of important social groups at work as the greatest obstacle to fairness in their workplaces (LPFI/CSRA 2003).

I'm not making this up. I know its stereotyping, but it's the general opinion of most people. Unspoken rules conform people to think inside this small box, it's bad enough we have a list of written things that we can't do, but now, an unwritten and unspoken longer list of things we can't do. Sure there are a lot of good things that come out of rules and regulations. Imagine if we didn't define rules on being punctual, everybody would take their own sweet time to go to work or school. Punctuality is a whole other issue on it's own. 

The thing is, the purpose of having rules and regulations has gone astray. It's like the time where the Pharisees were so engrossed with their laws, that when Jesus were actually in front of their very eyes, the claimed that Jesus was defaming the law. See how blinded they were by their laws, they forgot why the laws were even there, so blind till they didn't realize they were looking at the law.

The point is, rules shouldn't be something burdensome and people dread to follow. Rules should be harsh, but not unreasonable. It should be executed firmly so that people follow a certain line of order so that the earth continues spinning on it's normal axis, but not too strict till the point the earth stops spinning at all. I agree that rules should exist, but only to keep order.

WHY I DISLIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR?

NO 5: It's always somehow the hottest season of the year. Literally. 

NO 4: It's really crowded everywhere. Sure, people have the right to be out, but Melaka just isn't ready to accommodate all you tourists! 

NO 3: Half the town looks red. 

NO 2: The food is all the same, and it takes ages to wait for it. First it's the yee sang. Then half an hour later, the dishes start to slowly come. The worst part is they have SHARK FIN'S SOUP. Why must they eat an endangered species? Do you know how they get the fin, which you barely can taste? They cut of the fin and throw the poor animal back into the sea to await it's death! SAY NO TO SHARK FIN'S SOUP!

NO 1: The ang-pow you receive? It's never truly yours. No matter how you think of it, you never TRULY earn a clean cut from getting ang-pows. Firstly, the amount your parents spend on giving other people ang-pows. What difference does it make from your parents giving it directly to you? Logically speaking, it's just a bunch of grown ups exchanging money. 

I'm not a depressed person and I don't hate Chinese New Year. It certainly is fun being with your family and having BAK WA, just stating some reasons to not like it. Thank goodness that times are changing and people are not as superstitious as before. I'm not trying to make everyone dislike Chinese New Year. There are people who just love the idea of a fresh start, buying new stuff, spring cleaning the house and all that. That's good for them. It's their right to enjoy Chinese New Year, I'm just using my right of speech. Happy Chinese New Year 2010 to you all.

SOMETHING SMELLS FUNNY

Have you ever really wondered why is it offensive to tell someone if their breathe is bad or their body odour wreaks? Since honesty is the best policy, shouldn't it be just fine to tell someone politely, "Excuse me, but is it ok if you go wrinse your mouth cause I think you have bad breath". However, we would more rather endure the smell for however long a time, then start complaining about the person later. I mean, honestly, how often do you hear people telling a person that their breath stinks?

According to Wikipedia:

Hygiene

Some interesting answers on

How do you politely tell someone their breath stinks?

I guess if the person smells bad after they just woke up or came back from a 10 mile marathon, it would be quite your fault for going too near them. However, what about weird diseases that causes them to have weird breath, like some weird stomach cancer? We would never know. So sometimes if we really have to tell someone that they have bad breath (the fancy name for it is HALITOSIS), we might want to do it personally. If we do find out that they have some weird disease then, we might want to maybe pray for them or suggest something helpful and positive.  Sometimes it may happen to our own friends or close relatives and we hear other people talking about them, it may not be the most comfortable thing to hear, so we should be tactful in informing them and letting them know that they don't smell that good.

Some interesting methods on

How to cure halitosis?

However, if the person is constantly smelling bad, you may really want to consider telling them they smell bad as it may be a sign of wrong consumption or something wrong with their habits. I know it is easier said then done especially in church, workplace or meeting someone new, when everyone tries their best to be their nicest to one another, it may be a bit touchy and personal to tell them that their breath stinks as they wouldn't want to offend anybody, but think of it this way, wouldn't it be easier if you just told the person that they stink, rather than telling the whole world that they stink and letting the poor guy find out that people have been talking behind his back.

Maybe this should no longer be a taboo subject as hygiene is everyones responsiblity. Sure, people in the past may have taken baths in few months once, but times are changing, we no longer live in the era where bathtubs and toothbrushes don't exist. I mean there are even electronic toothbrushes and high pressured showers. There shouldn't be much excuses on why we can't smell good. Just do simple checks on yourself before you leave the house. You may not be going to see the prime minister or the person you are interested in, but it is no crime to smell good so that you don't make other people feel uncomfortable.
