A new vocabulary "Stunner"

The word "stunner" has opened a new page in the KPM's dictionary, depicted from a KPM member. He is the father of stunner, introducing and teaching us how to be a stunner. We are trained as we are stunned. No one can be a stunner without being stunned. There is a wide coverage inside this term "stunner" which generally includes speaking lame jokes(cold or hot), sinister, and capable of silencing others.

From the time joining into this fantastic KPM family as pure as a white paper, I am now fully equipped with the stunning skill I needed to graduate from the KPM. Well, perhaps not fully, at least 70% as well will do. Though this brand new word is not recognized universal nor international, it is indeed a powerful communication tool among the KPM's!

Stunning has now replaced the ordinary scolding which we're used to apply to those we're angry with. No harsh words needed nor to speak in a heavy tone or deafening voice. Some "stun" words may just kill your opponent in no time. So, what's the need to be mad? Just "stun" with a smiling face!

Of course, "stun" is very flexible and multi-functional. It is a laugh creator equipment. Laughter comes along with all the "stun" sentences when put into some situation under circumstances. For all KPMs, you surely understand what I practically mean here.

There is a conditional probability for "stun" to take place. There must always be a subject to "stun". A victim is a more accurate word to use. And to all stunners, you're the prey! Subjects are being tossed around in a blink. The fun in it: We all laugh with joy!

Caution:
Bad consequences may arise together with the "stun" for some may get cranky over the issue. So, this makes playing "stun" exactly the same like playing fire. Do bring along the fire extinguisher as the precaution.

This is me speaking on behalf of the father of stunner - Rhasta

My theory of life - vol 1

When I'm down, I'd like to be alone occupying myself with endless tasks and works without being reminded of what causing it. It's just an automated control mode being switched on once the threshold level in my system is triggered. I don't do much talking until I feel like to talk. Better shut up and do my work quietly. Better be constructive than destructive. A healthier way in resolving emotional problems. Sometimes, we are not given much options in life but we do given time to spare a thought on a decision or a choice to make. The realm of life is the part we walk through the up and down and the essence extracted is the beauty in it. There is no guarantee our paths are more likely to be the same nor smooth. What's the fun in it if that's the case?

Our environment may put a stone in our paths but it can't touch our will, much less our determination. Path is shaped, bit by bit, rather than set. And then it is changeable, anytime. Fear not to make a change or there will be no improvement at any chance.

Resistance to change is in our nature as turbulence in equilibrium state is exactly what we're afraid of. However, how can a summit be achieved without the jolt that drives towards the peak? Fear does exist in every human nature but it doesn't mean it can't be tamed. If only if you have strong will against the dark side of yours, you can turn impossible to possible. Taking the situation in reverse, if you permit your weakness driving the steel, anything possible will end as an impossible mission, any dim hope will lead to an dead end.

Even drown in sadness, I'd make it the source of strength as it makes me tougher in the future. Grateful that it is the vaccine jab that boosts my mentality to a higher level. It won't take long for the pricking pain to fade away for I'll be ready the next time it invades.

Constituent of strength is The Pain.

Pesta Tanglung 2010

Though late beyond the real date, it still better be late than never. The party of the mooncake festival was a huge success special thanks to the united effort of all members.

It was crowded with people wandering around while I was busy rolling the dough. I was part of the mooncake-making-and-sell on the spot team. We prepare, we made, and we sell. We were surrounded by a crowd of curious visitors with eyes fixed on what we were doing by the time we laid our hands on the powder. Mooncake-making was the one of the many exhibitions being held for this very meaningful festive of the year.

Performances were going perfect on schedule as it was planned. There were only a few that I could catch a glimpse over my task on hand which were the diabolo, dances, drum and drama. While the others were happy enjoying the show, sweats were all over me squeezed out drop by drop wetting my cloth considering the fact that it took quite an amount of physical energy to make a mooncake. Given my first attempt in this whole new trial, the whole process was not as easy as it seemed. It was all circling on the right skill of the maker from the beginning of mixing the ingredients to the end of modeling. The products of our sweaty hard work may not be in line with the those branded mooncakes on the shelf. It was nevertheless freshness guaranteed and 100% FOP (free of preservatives). Allow me to brag here, it taste finger licking good for me. Haha... The proof was we managed to clear all the stocks on sale with the last few pieces shared among our members. KPM rocks!!!

It was not over yet until we cheered for all our good work!
A union day that united us - it fits the main purpose of the mooncake festival itself!

Specially dedicated to ZEA:
Being the main chef of the day was never easy, not to mention the lack of bit here and there. Yet, you have make it the simplest thing I have seen on earth. Your teaching-while-making lesson is very much appreciated and will be remembered. What we have learnt today, it's on you!
-THANK YOU-

Laziness-Feel it, be it~

Laziness-the most unwanted element in a person's head. I would rather take it the other way round. Looking deep into it, it might not be such a nuisance sometimes. It could be contagious, if only we couldn't get control of our primary mindset and let it get control of us instead. Indeed, how bad could it be, if it infiltrates you at the right time and you're happened to feel it just right to be in you at the very moment?

Holidays seem the best moment to be lazy and I just feel right to let it overwhelms me and not to have any workload get into a single nerve of me at the very least. I let it be, cause I know I would not going to have it, to feel it after 2 weeks time. Thus, I am in no better position than now to be a lazy me. 2 weeks, a perfect timing that I have set for the all-too-exhausted brain of mine to cash in some credits of vacation for a little bit taste of rejuvenation. It is merely a precaution step to ensure my brain does not exceed its yield stress point. Soaking myself with a totally I-think-better sensation starting last Friday, and so far I do enjoy every taste of it! I shall say, you should get a taste yourself too!

This is just the beginning, and god knows how lazy I could be? I could care no more, enjoy and enjoy cause every single minute counts and I wouldn't let it to waste. Appreciate this lazy moment of my life and get it over 2 weeks after! The feel is surely different and the difference it is that adds colours to my hectic student life.

So, let's feel it and Be it~

Never Say Never

"Never say never", said Toni in the movie of North face. This line stays fresh in my mind every now and then. He was a tough German alpinist and just like many other alpinists, he did have a wild ambition. To be the first to conquer the Eiger Mountain in Switzerland was the first thing he wished in his entire life. He wanted to stand and wave on the summit of the North Face so badly even though hiking that particular north wall was regarded as a suicide mission in the eyes of others. Through this movie, I see perseverance in him and his partner, Andi. It was almost impossible to climb that mountain with its rock so brittle and steep with ice lining on the surface especially during the winter where a snowstorm may hit you in the face without a blink! Yet, this is nothing to them. They only saw the fluorescence of glory illuminated on the summit. Their lives were hanged on the rope they brought, they felt the strength from it and there they set their foot towards the highest peak of Eiger! It was a bad timing I have to say, to have hiked in such a bad weather. Eiger hiking had claimed the lives of all and Eiger Mountain was their land of peace in the end. Arrival of snowstorm had swallowed and drowned them alive, slowly and cruelly, stiffened them to freeze and had taken them down one by one. They were so close to home, and yet they were only an inch from the grim reaper. His spirit was the one that I salute the most, to have never given up till his last breath. Despite his failure to conquer Eiger, he had won the heart and respect of all people and did his nation proud. His never-say-never spirit did not just vanished following his death, instead, he had wrote a whole new page of historical path to next alpinists from all around the world. "We will never forget you!"

As Long As My Feet Will Carry Me - another movie that brought the theme of perseverance to the climax! As the saying goes, "our fate is in our hand", this is so not true for Clement Forell as his fate lies on his own feet instead. He and his comrades were held hostage in Siberia during the war and his entire army force had been made forced-labours under surveillance of Soviet forces in an icy mine. An implicit land of ice is a perfect prison camp that bounds you tight where you can find no place to hide and no grass to eat within a wide radius. This remind me of a scene of how joyful Clement was the moment he had seen a small tree upon his escape. In such adverse condition of the mine, he can stand no more. What Clement did in that icy mining camp was merely a prison's break. Cool, isn't it? With one cohesive thought, he gathered all his strength from every fiber in his body, just to get the hell out of that place and walked back home. Yes, walk! In the middle of nowhere, he walked for three years all the way to Germany. It's unbelievable yet it's true. From the second he managed to escape from the mine, he had got no food, no water, no map, nothing but his own foot to carry on his journey to home. It got to have taken more than courage to do what he did. He was all alone and precious lives of those who had given him a helping hand were lost. Not a total loss for me as he finally make it home at the very least.

Perseverance to live, to be with the ones you love as if the only reason you are whole is the universal solvent to obstacles. In real life, what do we do if we are situated in our darkest time? Throwing a tantrum, having a cold feet or ready to back off? These are neither the best option for us. Taking the situation in reverse, what will Toni or Clement do if they were in your shoes? They will always say, "Never say never!"

Patience

Good riddance! I have upgraded my level of patience in this stressing few weeks. We could have all gone crazy, scratching our heads, feel like every fiber in our cells struggling for a way out when we are under slightly bigger driving force called pressure. There are pros and cons as in pressure, just the matter of whether you can make the best out of it. Beat it or get beaten! That's the essential element to survive. And this is so true for every living thing on earth.

I could have been ran away as in those time in the past. But now, I rather pay a little bit more patience to figure and sort things out. "Nothing is impossible", that's what I have been always telling myself. If anyone on earth can do it, there is no way I am going to back off in the slightest chance! Having patience literally means more time to calm down our fussy mind, so that rational is what we get next, to be able to make a wise decision for our dearly problems. As I say, emotion is the hardest thing to control, so that makes being patience is not without difficulties.

The very first move to patience is to spare a clear thought for yourself in the very first place. Well, this might not work well for you as in me, but that's what I think. Then take the rest moves personally cause it is personal! Every person has their own way of handling problems. We can be a better person in this world and having patience is the best antidote to resentment.

BE BETTER. BE PATIENT! What says you?

Stress

Crap! I am totally not in control! Need more EQ in handling my emotion. Set aside the loads of assignments and report together with TESTS, my mood has gone wild too, driving me insane. I gets grumpy with my friends and it drives me cranky as if I can't hold it any longer and just going to burst. A lot of stuffs happened and it's pretty hard to lay it all straight here. Many of the small pieces make whole.

Well, the solution for myself:
Time is the best antidote to calm myself down. Plus a solely private time for me to be behave--REVISIONS. Think nothing but my tasks on hand.

Quarantine period: 2 days.
Expected result: Get better control of my emotion.
Reminder: BEHAVE, BEHAVE and BEHAVE!
