The Ending Of My 2008 Chapter

How I hope I can stop the time...
How I wish I can stay here forever...
How I want my 2008 to last longer....

It is New Year eve now. It means there will be only a few hours left before 2008 leaves us. There is a kind of complicated feeling deep inside my heart - happy as I am going to create another new chapter in my life but sad to end my current chapter.

Sigh.

Honestly, I love my life in 2008 and it has been a really excellence year for both me and my blog. Yes. I am seriously loving my 2008 year. There have been lot of ups and downs which have added life into my canvas - beautiful yet touching art.

In case you might be wondering if there is any difference between my Curryegg's blog and my real self. Seriously, there isn't any big difference because whatever I feel, think and behave in real life are being shared here, using words, photos, music and video clips. The only different thing is my blog is more popular compare to my real self. Sob.. that's is saddening.

I was not a very socialize person before this as I was more into introvert type. Well, not now anymore. Ever since I've stepped into the life of university as well as the blogosphere, my life is different now. I start making new friends, enjoying my life and share my experience in the media.


Oh my. That is so fun!


Talking about people and media, I have come across with many people who know my blog more than myself. I guess my blog have a beautiful header? Or should I say the name which I am using right now in blogosphere is eye-catching and people would rather remember the name Curryegg rather than Kelly - I guess Kelly is too common?


:P


Whatever it is, I am going to enjoy my New Year eve as much as I can.
This is the time for me to refresh back whatever I had done through out the whole year. At the same time, I should start planning for my coming 2009 - make a complete to-do-list?



Hahaha...
How about you? Any plan you are going to make?

What A Strange Name For Restaurant

I had been to a restaurant, somewhere in Kuala Lumpur and my family and I had come across with this Unique Seafood Restaurant. I didn't realize any weird thing until Ary showed this to me:


If you know how to read Chinese, you will notice something weird here.

奇怪 - weird
海鲜 - seafood.

So when you combine the Chinese words, it will be 奇怪海鲜 - Weird Seafood.

I wonder did they purposely choose the names - both Chinese and English or is there an error? And you are asking about my experience while dinning in the restaurant?

Emmm... weird~~~

:P

Math Remediation

The Math Chique passed this information on to me.

It seems that our schools are failing in the areas that will rule our future economy.

http://www.rsvh.addr.com/lwved/id16.htm

Maybe city-college is the answer for many.

I live in a town of 100,00 that has no city college. The percentage of Blacks with an associates degree or higher is just 6.7%. But the local refineries now require such a certificate for their 100k+ yr. jobs.

My hometown (was about 100k when I was in school now about 3ook) has a city college with close to 20,000 students. The percentage of Blacks with an associates degree or more was 68%.

Seeing that many children graduate with skills that are less than those of fifty years ago - it seems that No Child left many behind.

Fat And Happy

A British article asserts that a woman who is a size 14 is probably the happiest size woman.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1102572/Happiness-having-size-14-figure.html
Nicole Richie (size 00 - yes, that's a size) often seems morose.

Little Raven seems happy and livin' large!

Even the Queen gets love in Hollywood.

I'm not into the bigger-is-better thing (Pam Greir at any point in her life would be my ideal). But I do find some big girls attractive. It's more of a personality thing.

Camryn Manheim, Kim Coles and the Queen just seem nice. And in turn - attractive.

Mo'Nique, Star Jones, Rosanne Barr and Rosie seem bitter. And in turn - disgusting!

The ten hottest big girls;

I never heard of most of them.

Media Terrorist ?

Just a cursory glance at any newspaper, local or cable news program or the Internet could lead one to fear white people.
- Don't have a child with a white woman, they'll kill them.
- Don't let white people invest your money, they'll lose it all.
- Don't marry a white man, they'll go on killing sprees and kill their families and themselves.
- Don't marry a white woman, they'll fall from cruise ships or disappear.
- Don't let white people be fans of winning (or losing) teams, they'll riot.
- Don't elect a white president, they'll find a reason to start a war. They'll even create reasons why we should hate those of whom we have never met (making it easier to accept their extermination or oppression).

Really? Can we expect the country to fall apart (or thrive) solely because we now have a Black president?
Haven't homes recently become affordable for more people?
Hasn't the stock market been trading (at about 200 points one way or the other) around 8500 for the past three months?
Isn't gas cheaper now than before 911?
Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz - the power to change has always been in each (all) of us.

News, weather and sports have been replaced by hyperbole, conjecture and opinion.
Reporting the news has been replaced by sensationalized stories that create fear and anxiety. Even many bloggers create many problems where there were few.
Terror : the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. Miriam-Webster Online

But I still have hope.
We are a country that seems to love the Underdog.
We are a country that believes (hopes) that right will always win in the end.
If one has never felt like an underdog - they probably weren't trying hard enough. (Or were too selfish, or too small minded.)
If your goal was to make a million - your new goal should be two.
If your goal was to be the smartest man in the world - your new goal should be to teach the world.
If you wanted to be the richest man in the world - your new goal should be to save the world.
(This is why Bill Gates and Warren Buffet now give away BILLIONS!)
As we slay our giants, new battles arise.
"The Underdog" is the great person's constant state of being.

Why do so many worry about problems that won't effect them or that they have no means to rectify?
The stress is going to kill you.
Or someone who is too stressed is going to kill you.

Que Pasa ?

Russian academic Igor Panarin predicts that the US will fall and be divided into parts of other empires. Maybe it's time to learn a new language.

Put Your Pants On!

Trousers come in many shapes and sizes these days, so if the runways are any indication, there really is something for everyone (and perhaps some things for no one!).

Tell CC, regarding runway styles: love them or hate them?
