Let's face it.
Why do they refer sex education as "The Birds and the Bees"?
Who made up this phrase?
Are they mocking the importance of sex education to adolescents?
By the way, I don't see any connections of these two creatures to sex. Okay, maybe the bird makes some sense, but the BEES? Which part of sex education that goes 'buzzzzzzzzz'? The vibrator???
And why is it in phural form? To show complexity in sex education?
If a parent were to tell their children about the "The Birds and the Bees", they will confuse it to fairy tales like "Cinderella" or "Snow White" or any other tales that involves birds and bees. And they will go around telling their friends that Cinderella made them.
Sigh. Why not go straight to the point? Or at least give some sense to its' alias?
Like "The Elephant and the Cat". Or "How Dalat Got Its' Name". Wait, that's taken already. Sorry.
Great, another randomness out of the blue. =D

Stick Your Head-la, Penang should tell them back
I read an article on the newspaper, and it goes something like this:
Stick to Bahasa, Penang told
KUALA LUMPUR: Road signs in various languages have no benefit, so stick to Bahasa Malaysia only, said the Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry in warning the Penang Government not to use language to gain political mileage.
Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said that multi-language road signs would disunite the people.
“It is merely a name for roads. Locals and tourists are not against the present signs. Why must there be a change in the language of the road signs?” he said when commenting on Penang’s plan to use Chinese, Tamil and Jawi for road signs in George Town.
“The ministry will send a letter of protest against the plan,” he told reporters after witnessing the longest Chinese landscape painting which was listed in the Malaysia Book of Records here yesterday. (Source: The Star, 29 Oct 2008) [Sorrie for stealing...]
Goodness. What is this?
Penang is trying to promote tourism since Penang became World Heritage, and now the ministry is telling them to leave the signs alone?
Adding extra language will do no harm. Will the citizens be disunited because of the existence of multi-languages on signboards?
Do they think a war will broke out with dictionaries as long range artillery?
Haiyo. I think this is somehow going a bit too far.
Let me highlight this: "...warning the Penang Government not to use language to gain political mileage."
Political mileage? I think they are thinking too deep already.
By the way, adding extra languages DO bring benefits in contrast to their point of view. It represents unity among multi-racial groups. It represents understanding among races. Tourists come and point to the signboard telling their children that this country is indeed colourful as well as peaceful.
Anyway, at least this move is better than changing Jalan Alor to Jalan Kejora.
Aiyo. I wonder whether my University Garden will change to Universe Galaxy?
Eh? Not bad wor. Lol.

I'm not sure how this photo came along. I think my brother was testing the camera.
If I could stay in this position, I would have been recruited into the cast of Matrix Trilogy.

Techniques of releasing stress (mainly and especially for STPM students):
1. EAT. Take a bar of chocolate, candies, ice-cream or overdue mooncakes. That will take stress off your head into your stomach. By the way, if you're feeling suicidal, chew on rabbit sweets. It will help you achieve your purpose (of suicide, that is).
2. DRINK. Drink tap water. Gives you opportunity to release stress through diarrhoea. Wait, I'm kidding, right?
3. SHOUT. Make your vocal cords go haywire. You may discover a talent in yourself and audition yourself into Malaysian Idol. Care not to break the judges' eardrums.
4. JIGGLE. Adjust your speakers to high volume, give yourself spaces around you and play the tune of "Moonlight Lady" by Julio Iglesias (father of Enrique Iglesias). Your body should be reacting towards the tune and your legs should be itchy by then. Make a fool out of yourself to prove a point to your parents what stress has did to you so far.
5. SLEEP. Before sleeping, make your parents aware of your stress level by counting sheep LOUDLY and in decimal points.
So far I have practiced the first four techniques and the results are obvious. My stress for studies have decreased significantly but so is my dignity. I have yet to try technique no.5. I'm figuring out the consequences...
Note that I'm not responsible for your actions. Just blame your sanity.
