Counting down to 2009……

31 12 2008

If you are in Malaysia…less than 24 hours before 1st Jan 2009…
If you are in UK…slightly more than 24 hours…

Times really flies…have been in Scotland for more than half a year…my degree has almost reached the end…

Looking back the past 365 days..things happened and ended, good and bad; friendship flourishes, old and new…what a year it has been.

Thankful for all good things that have happened, not just those that happened on me but also those on people around me and around the world…

Thankful to people who have been around to share my ups and downs…bad things that occured, are always good learning experience…

Coming 365 days…the second last year of the decade…will be another whole new experience…new learning…an opportunity to amend mistakes and improve…

Happy new year everyone!

On a side note, hope human will learn its lesson from the past…and make this world a better place for everyone…Happy New Year, World :)





Day Is Getting Longer…

31 12 2008

Literally…

Dont know if you notice the day light is getting longer back…after hitting a minimum (sunrise at about 8.50am and sunset at about 3.30pm), sunrise is getting minutes earlier while sunset is getting minutes later day by day…Look at here.

You get a feel that the year has finally come to an end & a new year is about to ‘re’-start again…dont u? :)





Try this…see if you could pass 11-plus

28 12 2008

11-Plus is probably equivalent to UPSR in Malaysia…an exam that all primary school students must take…and one which decides which type of secondary education they will undergo in the coming year. Those who pass will enter grammar school…those who fail enter a secondary modern school or technical school…It is interesting to note that there is grammar school is already abolished in Scotland and Wales, which has developed their own education system.

Click for more on Grammar School and 11-Plus Exam.

Anyway, found a set of sample 11-Plus exam questions which I think is worth a try. Hehe…Click HERE, 10 minutes for 15 questions. Have fun & do share how many marks u scored! I got 1 wrong :)

Over You

15 12 2008

Over You by Daughtry

Now that it’s all said and done,
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I’m putting my heart back together,
‘Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

Daughtry is cool!! :)

Avoid Irish Pork

8 12 2008

This is for friends who take pork products from Ireland.

UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) has urged UK citizens to avoid all pork products from Irish Republic and Northern Ireland…These porks were found to contain as high as 200 times the safety limit of dioxins in a recent test. However, FSA says any risk on human is low. LIDL and Tesco are among the supermarkets that have removed the products from shelves and are offering customers refunds.
