Somehow i think i thought it through, i really need to think whatever that suits my best.there is so often i blame myself why i spent hundred of hours in my teenage past years in computer games without a meaning behind it. I dont find the sense of achievement at all in games. Games like creative games like sims are still alrite because they trigger your sense of creativity, BUT dota and CS is so not worth playing, u play all night long and at the end, what you get?
.
Some might say, computer gaming the way to socialize between guys ma.. and gossiping about celebrities is the topic between girls ma.. WRONG, i totally disagree,you get to see other ur frenz talking the same topic, but does that really mean you get to understand ur fren better than talking about more meaningful stuf? If u talk about tactics or wtv cheats in computer gaming, does tat help you?
.
or will i rather say, you talk about life principles experiences and your dreams that you wanna share, does that sound much more better to understand ur fren? ..
.
so anyways i need to realign my new 2009 year, gotta focus on utilizing time, FOCUS!!! need to speed up my aptitude, need to ABSORB fast. need to know non academic stufs more rather than studies, excellence in studies wont bring u anywhere in Msia, juz a cert..
.the more u see the world better, the more people the see the better in you.
.take tat.
.
anyways. Book fair in Atria!!!

Bought this book for 3o bucks, its more like a daily digest book for me because its not a continuous non fiction book, it comes like... lets say.. Globalisation in 21st century.. then how does it differ from the past... then another one will be R&D sectors... ya those kinds.30 bucks!Zoom is what my sister recommend to me, not bad book too! its about how the effects of rising oil price triggers many different innovations and why does toyota emerge as the top car producer and the R&D sector behind cars and all.. not bad at all! 15 bucks. haha in MPH.
The book i borrowed from my aunt. Google story, havent touch it actually, but its about how google started and now manage to be the most popular search engine and how they made it happen?

Waa 3 books for me to digest, and + examz on the way in 2 weeks time with my books hanging up in the skies~ *not studying la meaning! and when i get back to college, abundance of non academic projects piling up. well, sounds FUN!

Signing off!cheers!

My Result + Birthday + Christmas gift x)

yea i will say its from mom duh. My k550i has malfunctioned, lotz of inconvenience by it. So just now went around digital mall hoping to get the same concept of phone like k550i, which is cybershot and flashlight. But yea too bad cant get, and k550i is rarely on the market anymore. So i went around asking for Non 3g SE handphone with flashlights. Obviously i cant get any, and i said my budget is 500. Well but look what i've got. f350i. mine's black. Now tell me u havent seen this model cause its just 2 weeks release. haha
I can certainly say Sony has changed a little of its concept. I didnt notice the speciality of this phone until i get back and try out. It's a wii concept phone. WHich means.. u know wat is wii right? those motion sensor games. yes this phone has it, there's a bowling game in it, u need to swing the phone in order to get the power in the game. x) and much more other preinstalled games,
.
and somehow it still works on its normal phone mood when plug into usb for file transferring. Unique huh? its built for gamers i can say, it has the x and o buttons above its screen.
.
And one more speciality is its loudspeaker. perhaps one of the best phone with loudspeaker i have ever heard. It has 3 loudspeakers. Very clear clean magnificent sound system. But the bad thing is.. somehow i realize new models from SE cant zoom into the picture..
.
yea thats about it. How much? thanks to mom who bargain it all the way from 600 till 520. where? digital mall! =) thanks mom!

My 226th post =)

I will finish up this blog by 230 posts.
I've created links to my new blogs.
well dont ask me why i have 3 personal blogs next year because i think its more organized and precise for wat you are looking for.
.
www.whatisgeneharn.blogspot.com -> this is my new personal blog
.
www.civilwonders.blogspot.com -> this is another blog where i put non personal items and more on general civil interests, such as gadgets or buildings that are worth to look at, of course i will put a tonnes a pictures with it and i hope that this blog will be really a public one because i assume a lot of google search engine will hit on it because its filled with terms.
.
www.japhethlim.blogspot.com -> this is my blog with the college, basically joining the college bloggers community.its just filled up with 'homeworks' from college, they give the students titles to blog about.. so a little boring for u i think.
.
http://www.wonderfulprocrastinator.blogspot.com/ -> my current blog. Will post up 3 more and the last one will remain as links!
.

im not doing this because i think i have too much time to spare, its because i think many would want to know about the wonderful awesome things on the earth too, so im exposing myself and gaining the informations of it because i think it can be a great tool to start off a conversation, with almost everyone. through this blog's stuffies... =)
.

well i think its a great way to start 2009 =)

year 2009

Running the talk but not walking the talk!

p/s of course dont visit the blogs first la still on maintenance.

will be back tml night!

Year 2009.

not walking the walk but running the walk.

.
will be starting a new blog though, i find that my blog posts aren't tagged and organized, due to laziness, and kinda hard for me to trace back my past posts.
WIll relink so dun worry about troubles relinking your links to my blog.

.
I just realized, i had my most wonderful, awesome night scene in my life,
the stars here are so majestic la. You see them so clearly unlike in KL not a single one,
here its like.. really uncountable ones, 300+ there.very vivid, all those horoscope shapes.
Well have been jogging non stop every night. Na not long and tiring ones, around 2.5km there.
I find my medium of whispering to God, through Jogging,

Its like. You really get those christian music lyrics into your head,
Its more than just worship songs, Its like a conversation with God when you jog with christian musics.

Its strange but i wont feel tired jogging with it, i just kept on one step one step and on going phase, and just really flashing back to the word of God.

.
and i spent RM273 for the last 30 days. so in a way its just 23 bucks because 250 covered by goverment =) but that is just the expenses in my college la.

.
Man anyways, i miss marathon! goodness. Shall aim for at least 5 international and national events next year. Of course public open events la. Time to meet up some old frenz in world of sports =)

Physics teacher in action =p

Kittens all around in college.. well these ones are the same floor as mine.

signing off! -gene-
.
will be staying overnight in church for a night after this, having english class now. haha teacher encourages us to blog actually! lol. take care!

The real 21st Century Skycraper.

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 03:51:00 +0000

This isn't something new, its last year project and will be done in 2010. Well obviously i will say this project is insane, 21st century skycraper really crap a lot wei. If living in a 250-meter-high tower with rotating floors and a system to automatically produce electrical energy seems like something out of a science fiction book to you, all you need to do is go to Dubai in two years' time to realize how the real world, at times, can respond to the most incredible dictates of the imagination. To date, Dubai has the tallest hotal, Which is Burj Al Arab and the tallest building ( in progress) Burj Dubai, and soon in few years time, Al Burj, another tallest building, 1km height will be built, Its in planning still. Well but this time, this is the first ever self generated electricity building in motion.Sounds mad right? read on then.

This is a 59-floor high-rise equipped with a core of reinforced cement and a series of prefabricated units, each of which can rotate independently from the others, thus allowing the building to continually change its appearance. This true triumph in dynamic architecture - i think la* its the Rotating Tower -will be the first and ever type of whole true building in motion. David Fisher has the idea of this.now people can watch the sunrise and the sunset from the very same room.
.

The next insane part which i dont get is how is this building going to self generate energy with the constant motion concept. How is it going to spin 24/7 anyways? This concept has earned the unanimous acclaim of environmental associations. According to the designers of the high-rise, which will have a total price tag of $500 million, it should be capable of producing 191 million kilowatts of energy in a year, this worth over 7 million euro. In other words, this means that the energy savings should cover the cost of the work in a period of 56 years. If you look at the picture below you will get what i mean. Building in spinning motion that supplies energy for its own use by the spinning of turbine within the consecutive floors. wow.
Not only be the pioneer, the Dynamic Architecture building which will constantly in motion changing its shape with each floor capable of spin, move and rotate 360 degress independent of one another, will also be able to generate electric energy enough for itself as well as for other surrounding buildings from at least 48 wind turbines that fitted between each rotating floors as well as the solar panels positioned on the roof of the building that will produce pollution-free energy from wind and the sunlight. Any acoustics issues are solved by modern design of the building and the carbon fiber special shape of the wings. And the floor only rotates at the slow speed of about 6 meters a minutes, so that guests inside probably won’t feel it.

BUt evidently there is already a building in Brazil with smaller scale, 11 floors. with independently rotating units.

.

.

I wonder how is it going to be like after 2 years.. well im no longer interested in Architecture but thinking about the perspective from it, the architect needless to design it, because the building is.. rotating? omg la. ANd the worst part is that, im wondering if im the Civil engineer for the project, what type of insane idea im going to think of for the insane project.I will be thinking how rediculous to think how to support the whole freaking building with one column.

p/s there is a whole list of engineering marvels i wanna share out. soon la. =)

The past and the coming~

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:10:00 +0000

Year 2008 is just about to leave its History, by a few weeks times.
Have i achieved my goals?
and how much have i evolved throughout this transition year.
.
Well, honestly, not as much as i think i could reach for,
perhaps too much of laptop gamings instead of reading the newspaper.
Im still not going enough to cross the bridge overall.
But 08 has been a year filled with surprising though,
because i didnt even expect to come to Matric after spm.
and so many other things.

.So here comes year 2009,

Its exciting what God's kept for me next year,

Its university Life. Im no longer in my teenage life.

Time to meet real different people, time to be more productive,

and time to start serving in DUMC,

well after i come back from Malacca la of course,

but that's the next half year.

For the earlier half, i will still put my objective to prepare my perception towards University life.

Will write more about it during countdown*

.Budget has been tight, I eat a LOT, freakin LOTz. and no Fats In result! Wasting Money right. haha. Normally ten bucks a day then now like 15 edi cause tambah tea break snacks and supper x)

Well, this is my super early morning breakfast i can consider that, well i mean around 2am in the morning when i do gaming. haha.

Its like any sort of simple cooking, just biscuit, boiled egg, tomato, pepper. yummy!

The phrase i used to think when everything comes into my mind.

I have a secret ability, that is i will disappear when no one sees me. muahahhaa.
out and away! -gene-

.

This is the my mom's side family photo i found hanging in my uncle's house. You might be asking where am i, but im not inside actually, cause its like around 20 years ago, before im out here. This picture is awesome, realizing that my mom was having fun of course cause so many sisters and bros. The whole 2nd row sitting, yea her sisters and the middle grandma.And the uppest row with the bottom my cousins, and few more cousins not out yet that time. Very fortunate to have many cousins. hahha every chinese new year is really a big matter of getting together =)

.
ASked my fren to buy this speaker. 50 bucks.at PC fair malacca. not bad at all. whole room just transffered into a cinema. haha.

And that's my humble mp4. Really really cherish it. Bought it for 120 and its 2G. It's been like my partner.hahah closer than my phone.Ask anyone in my college, earphones are always on my side.this Mp4 may look simple of course, china brand, not ipod or wtv, but sound quality is still top with good earphones.Awesomeness. It's been my greatest motivation to go jogging,i wont jog unless there's a music partner. haha.

So its really in a blink of an eye. December huh? after Christmas then after countdown, what's coming up next?Will post up later about what i've achieved and learn this year. But yea 2008 has been my transition year, the year i really open up myself to many new things, like never before =)

p/s im still up with Civil engineerin in UM,and i hope that after 10 years of working experience i shall start my own brand or firm. hahah. too early to say, but who knows i will?

Its Not my Intention

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:47:00 +0000

There was once i saw an article in Star, few months ago,
there's this old folk saying that youth should not play too much but doing something serious,
At first i totally condemn that, i was thinking that playing is a part of learning.
.
BUT now, i partially agree with it.
And actually i find my thoughts came in pretty late,
Just that when i start to know more and more about politics economy and the outside world,
It really gave me a bigger view, and a clearer picture that how insignificant is tertiary education,
*mom i will still study dun worry haha*
.Cause all we need is just a certificate of education that's all,
and the working world is there to challenge u again,
.
But sometimes, having the urge to know more about the outside world hurts you too.
I think for private Colleges might be different, cause people there are mostly exposed.
But here, its like isolating yourself against others.
You see people here studying everyday, talking about movies and artists and all..
Just when u think u need someone to talk about economy outside there,
No one cares about it. So i just have the newspaper to be my accompany. =)
.
I need to carry on, and cant wait to get into Uni because there's where i can talk to people older than me. Aiesec here i come =)
.
p/s I find what im doin is fun. I actually record conversations with whoever i talk to without notice. It's actually a great way studying how personalities determine the way people speak, seriously.

Fatness~

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:28:00 +0000

If i have one big wish,

well owh yea perhaps im one of a kind of digest food into oxygen.

cough cough* well many people say that i look underweight,

But the truth is i CANT be fat!

yea blame on my high metabolism rate.

....

Anyways bus ticket later at 11.30, back to college!

Gonna make over my room AGAIN. cause roommate has gone to Uitm,

and now i have half the size of the room! dengdengdeng!

shall brb for pictures!

p/s im really glad to have cousins, Close cousins.

Details Determine Destiny~

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:31:00 +0000

Its 1.34 right now, reached home at 12.50 around there, which is quite surprising that my mom wasn't that paranoid about me, well she did ask me where am i and all, but didn't call up and like rush me back and all, well perhaps is because my results? =) haha.came back from Michelle's Bday Bash! Congratz to you ppl who did it, its nice to gather together again~
.
Stufs to rush on now,

English Assignment
Moral Assignment
Mini Biotech Innovation Project (competition)
60 Seconds Challenge Video (competition)
One day Cf camp planning
Application to Local Unis.

Will be back to Hometown in few hours time.. Right now i only have one wish, which is to enter UM for civil Engineering. Just really hope so la. Stufs are getting busier anyways, with Christmas coming, then 2nd mid term exam, then CNY. Awesomeness~

Better get running then! There's a ball coming towards me, i dunno which direction it's heading to, I just know that i've to close my eyes and catch it =)

8 Choices

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:16:00 +0000

Well am having a hard time deciding my choices right now,

The 8 choices of courses and in which University,

I've gotta think that right now cause application starts end of this month.

Of course i've set the top three choices as Civil Engineering in UM, UKM and UPM,

but what about the other 5 choices?

Environmental Engineering?

Manufacturing Engineering?

Industrial Engineering?

Not sure yet though,

but yea praise God for 4 flat again,

Doubt can even enter UM without it.

Now im hoping at least a band 5 for my MUET.

result coming out end of this month. phew*

====================================

To all SPMers!

Congratz anyways for enduring the few months of brain killing process,

just that i would like to share some stuf la,

Education in Overseas/local/private/blablabla, they are all the same.

I was once like u perhaps, thinking that overseas are better than local,

i will write a short opinion here cause obviously no one reads a long one.

Environment

If you're thinking that Overseas have a good cultural experience there or wtv, Im not against it, but in fact, i think that cultures are all around, experiences is the matter how you create them, not grabbing them from the environment. Its true that a good environment influence someone to be good, but what if i say its the best way by impacting everyone including the environment, starting by yourself? Its just up to you to create your own learning environment, there's always areas to learn from, in overseas, of course you learn the way how other people think and all, but same goes here, in matriculation, i experience that way also, i learn how other people from other states and different races think too.

2. Just education Life.

Many people said good Universities will definitely give u a good future career by their recognition wtv, trust me that's all fake. Its all up to you how you perform and change yourself. Working life is so DIfferent than we can think, I might wanna study CIvil Engineering now, but who says i cant end up in the business sector after that? We only apply lesser than 5% of what we learn in the working world.What you study doesn't determine what you work as. And our studying duration is just like 7 years the most, and u've got 30 years + outside there working.Working life can be a twist of destiny also anyways. you study and study but still you graduate with just a piece of CERTIFICATE. yes there might be a difference, but only for your first job interview mostly, people just get the first impression with where you are from, but the interview itself is a different story, furthermore, the 2nd and 3rd job will be based on your first job resume. So no BIG deal right?

3. Long way more.

My plan is simple, after Matriculation, then into UM for civil, then out to overseas for Masters. I think that degree in overseas doesn't really earn you much experience, because you are still with your bunch of frenz, who knows you could end up in aussie with your same bunch of msia frenz? But i think getting to overseas for Masters is crucial because that's where your contacts start to flow in.It's part of the working life already la btw.

4. Overseas interest?

If you are so determined that Msia Sucks or wtv and wanna migrate to overseas, then go on to Overseas for studies, dont ever come back to work because you are just eating your own money up. JPa different study la, i mean those students with FAma ( father mother) scholarships. haha. you'll rather work overseas then. But consider again how well can u adapt to the place there, cause overall a lot Malaysians still say that Msia culture rocks with all those pasar malam amid of those political problems etc..

Well these are my advise la.. But its up to u again! =)

Miracle or not?

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:30:00 +0000

Well everyone is surprise, so am i.
.
I didnt expect to get 4 flat in finals for sem1.i expected lesser than 3.5.
Looks like almost all chinese here got 4 flat as well,
At first i was rather happy, cause 4 flat means its like 100% you can get your preffered course in local uni i think?
.
But after knowing so many people got perfect score, i knew that the goverment pulled the graph down like wat, just like SPM la. Its normal for all chinese here to get 4 flat, every year the same thing happens. Well, congratz ruth and Li Ann. excellect scores as well. Thank God too, i cant imagine if i get 3.8 while every other chinese got 4 flat.
.
I didnt expect. why? because every night i watch series and laptop gaming till as late as 3, then sleep in lecture and all, and with so many extra activities piling up my schedule, well Thank God for His blessing la.
.
Anyways, i will be back this friday, and be back here on Tuesday.Im going back to hometown anyways for the few days. December is interesting, many many birthdays. haha.
.

Need Your Help!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:14:00 +0000

I've given a chance to write the very first essay in my college english journal.. some kind like one month one issue thingy, some same thing like Dj last time, the Djournal if u remember. I seriously need your help, by reading it and commenting on it. Well not practically on english grammatical errors, but are u being motivated by it or some reflections upon urself thingy, i need HONEST answer, if it sucks, say it. thanks!

Mirror In YourSelf.
It’s just like every other, same night when I marvel at the outside of my window, where diamonds of starlight suspend themselves in the unknown majestically. As the lullaby that sang along by the crickets quietens down my soul into my dreams, I baffled myself into the familiar question again. What’s LIFE again?

.
In my book, I always relate life to many things. Life is just like a battlefield, not a bed of roses. It’s meant for a life of fickle and fun challenges that will constantly enrich our understandings. Live out a life of actions rather than reactions! Life is short and fragile; it’s all up to us how we want to live it out loud. Always initiate challenges for yourself because it is the source of motivation and dignity. James Ullman once said ‘Challenge is the core and mainspring of all human actions. If there’s a wrong, we right it; if there’s a record, we break it; if there’s a mountain, we climb it.’ I have a dream, which is to form a group cycling group that will conquer all the highways in west Msia in one month time. We are just so well fed in this century of technology, I respect technology but I doubt that people today appreciate them, because we are born with it. It’s like a medicine for us every day , taking antibiotics too much isn’t good, same goes here, being dependent on technology discourages some treasured values I presume. Every moment when I look into my mom’s being, I get the picture of how the past hardships has molded her into someone whom I regard as my heroin today.

.
Life is just like being a cactus in the desert. You have to grow on your own roots; you are to have your own goals in your life. You are the leader of your own. Don’t simply accept facts in this cyber age because counterfeit facts are all around in the net. So debate within yourself, be solid of your beliefs and trust, get a grip of your own philosophy, and that’s when self integrities comes in. I’ve got interesting analogies for life. It’s just like sailing a boat in the Atlantic Ocean, you are the leader of it, you repair and upgrade the boat, see who reaches to the unchartered place first. Speed is the ultimate competitive weapon. Be first in the field, do it now, keep it simple, keep your eye on the ball! Be aware of your surroundings.

.
You have to know your thermometer of your life, which is your personality and goals; about how ‘hot’ is the enthusiasm from the inside out of yourself. Be certain that your existence has a purpose, no matter what religion you are or even being an atheist, having an objective in life is the key to everything. Just like every camp committees, they start off the meeting with the same thing, objective. This is the stepping stone to almost everything, all decisions are based upon it, and it’s the core of your heart and decisions. My objective is to be a motivator, to almost everyone who passes by me, well perhaps one of the reasons why I have the urge to write these thoughts.

.
Living life to the fullest is all about racing against you. It’s not about the achievements and the respect you earn by getting high position or being famous in anywhere, but the degree you have manipulated your personalities from them, towards a positive one of course. I’ve always relate life with Marathon races one after another, because you need to maintain your running phase in life if you want to achieve something extraordinary; and there is no time for celebration, but continue to step out for a more demanding challenge! There is no time to regret over something in life or many of us ‘emo over it.

.
If I would be granted a wish, I would want more time. The man who started IKEA divides his day into ten minutes section; he says ‘Ten minutes, once gone, are gone for good. Divide your life into ten minutes units, and don’t waste even a minute.’ The world is just so vast and abundance with all sorts of knowledge. , I wish I could master all of them but it seems like the most I could cover up few areas only. That’s why no one is perfect. In this case, life is just like a canvas, it all depends on how you colour it creatively. Create excitement in everything you do, and if something needs doing, do it yourself; always look beyond the obvious and put your ass on the line. Don’t be a leech, be a History Maker. Be a difference Maker, you are here to impact the world, to make this place a better place to live in. Heal the world, do no harm.

.
Take time to realize, recapitulate, relearn and ready for the arbitrary mystery events. The person who dreamed up the Big Mac doesn’t believe in wasting of time, ‘If you have time to lean, then have time to clean’. Life is so hectic that we don’t have time to recognize the value of our past memories. If someone inquires me about my wish to be place, I would say a large plain field, where boundaries of skies and earth are indistinguishable, where nothing else in my sight besides the lovely sky, rough texture grass and my guitar. This is where past memories and lessons will embrace me and drives me further in future with the fortitude I’ve earned from analyzing my past. Some of us have the conception to not look at the past since you can’t change them, but ironically, I think it’s the enthusiasm created by it that will impact you further away. I believe we should assess our lives from time to time. Have we reached our goals? Are there things we can weed out that we don’t need?

.
Now , if you have ever imagined you had your worst day ever and complaining about almost everything under the sky. Then you should take the look at the unfortunate ones. Hellen keller proved that her world of darkness and silence are not her boundaries to learn. She persevered through it, she tried, and she succeeded. We are considered fortunate enough, we are healthy, we are having fun and a proper education with allowance! Imagine people in the hospital, they are yearning for a 2nd chance. We have a chance right now, so what are you going to do with it? Live it out loud!

.
We are 18, no longer teenage years soon, and soon enough to be young adults. I believe it’s time to move on, to open up our eyes to the real factors and current issues instead of sticking our eyes to the books. Yes, education is important, but they are just going to earn you an interview but not a job. I believe it takes more than social skills in interviews, people wants to know how much you know about the world, how determined are you, and also how much self esteem you’ve got, not just the ability to communicate well. Economy, Politics, Social world, it’s time to move into these, not just wandering around our matriculation syllabus. Always think out of the box, always think from the back and all perspective, listen to many instead of one, value your contacts right now because you might need to use them in the future job field. It’s a race, a competition of one’s ability to perceive the right and wrong and move on for a higher level of knowledge. Be an optimist instead of pessimist, think the yes way instead of no when challenges pile up your environment. Have the practice of enduring the aversion to talk to someone you dislike because imagine this, in future, business is everyone’s world, if want to join effort with an annoying guy but the reward is decent, that’s when the skill comes in.

.
I suppose the greatest assets for a difference maker in his own life is the attitude. Get your mind set right. A wiseman once said ‘It’s your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude.’ You get attitude from 7 areas, personalities, environment, the impression towards others, self image, experience, association with peers, and most importantly, beliefs. You need confidence and competence in order to make your life stratospheric. Dreamers don’t drive dreams to possibilities, they live it to reality. You might laugh at their unfeasible goals but most entrepreneurs who succeed are those who step up to almost everything that came into their minds. Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Companies, has the motto of ‘screw it, let’s do it’ and has put his company’s name beyond anyone could think of. He wasn’t a P.h.D holder, neither a person who didn’t step into college, just one thing that made his name well admired, Attitude.

.Nothing ventured, nothing gain. Think yes, not no. Be yourself, be a history Maker. I have never been one to do things by the books, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people, I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages. I might write leadership and entreprenuership or being environmentally friendly in the next series.

Difference in everyone.

MAkeover!!! yea if you were asking me what's my ambition,
i would say interior designing, that's the commencement of my dreams.
Hahah but looks like many other interests cross my path other that,
I reached college at 5pm yesterday. Spent 2 hours shifting all the furnitures around,
well pretty satisfied! (no Picture!)cause i've got wardrobes to create a cubicle for myself.
.
Well here comes Sem2.I've no picture about God's plan as usual.
Totally love it when the future is like a saturated mist in front of you, wondering what's behind it.
.
And like every usual night, I ponder towards out to the sky, where diamonds of stars dance in their galaxy,

.
What's Life... AGain?

.
Of course there's no use to reflect on the past, but regret stirs in my heart when i think of my past,
i could have done much more better,
Getting posts and certs in highschool isn't an achievement at all,
The achievement of an individual is the degree of changing it's own life.
No one is perfect obviously, my assumption is that in life, there are just too many to learn!
Don't only talk about social, talents may come into a measurement as well.
BUt there's certainly people whom we need to respect, because of the difference they make,
that make them extraordinary,

.
One perfect example, Helen Keller.
She was locked in her world of darkness and silence,
and she is still effective in communicating?

.
Man! im not disabled, i am healthy! and yet what have i really done?

There are Millions Of patients stuck in Hospital and rolling dice with death,

"why, why , why is this happening to me?"

U imagine that playing over a million times in their mind,

What are you goin to do with your chance of life?

.
There's certainly more reasons towards life existence.

H.O.P.E

WHat if..

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 09:39:00 +0000

THere're so many times i'm making hypothesis.. What if..?
There's no tomorrow, When you just open up your eyes, and the whole world has turned upside down.
What if the world is gone, and just left you alone.
What if... you were just closing your eyes forever and never wake up..?
.
It's not a joke anyways about our mother earth's condition right now, anything could happen, no such thing as prediction, there are such vast amount of mysteries and unexplained phenomenons popping out in the minds of the experts. Things can just go wrong within night and that's the end of everything.
.
Time is precious. It's artful and many of us could just waste it by unnecessary emo feelings, just clutching our legs in a corner and being self pity.
It's just like a canvas waiting for you to paint it with your own colours.
I've seen, so many wonderful things that i wish i could master. Because almost everythin is evolved from creativity, and i have this rage for anything that could enhance my creativity. Cooking, photography, Sewing, Architecture.. It's just so many and so awesome.

Just one factor. TIME.

I muz utilize my every second into the process of learning of all these new area. I am trying to explore new talent in new areas. This world is so big and just so many many things for us to learn. Well I'm just a small little tiny winy human been in this galaxy, but if i'm living my life to the fullest everyday, then in my world, im not wasting my time, at least.

Britt Nicole- Believe

well, i don't know much about Britt, but certainly, i love her voice =)

UM or NUS

noreply@blogger.com (Japheth Lim Gene-Harn) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:52:00 +0000

My thoughts : what makes educations In Singapore And Malaysia different?
i think it's worth for a shot to read. hahaa.my point of view.

JUst two pictures that will totally put your mind into the state of mentation. Of course, the reputation of our neighbour country has given us the imprint that NUS (National UNiversity of Singapore) is much better than UM (University Malaya), that's the first thing that flash across your mind right? i bet that.

Part 1

Many of us ask: ...
.

Are Singaporeans Smarter Than Malaysians?

.
Personally i think this is quite a ridiculous question. How can you measure the intellectual capacity or psychometric abilities of a nation vs another nation? You have to acknowledge the other variables that come into play. E.g. finance, sponsors, luck etc. And besides, just because there are slightly more singaporean students in certain top universities, than malay students, one cannot conclude or state that singaporeans are smarter than malays. If u think you're right than US students are smarter than singaporeans, than english students smarter than singa, and canada, and australia etc. you see how ridiculous this is.
.
Intelligence is not measured by the institution that your in, but rather the psychological and mental capabilities that you can manifest from your mental capacity. the perception of singaporeans being smarter than malays is an oversimplification.

Part 2:

Role of both Goverments.

You might be thinking, Malaysia's Student population is 6 times more than Singapore's. But again what are the reasons why only so few malaysians manage to get into Ivy Leagus UNis, cambridge oxford or wtv.. Many of us saying about going Singapore to study, while all the Singaporeans have left for Ivy Leagues.

One is to be blamed. Government. No doubts.

Better Government= Better Education system.

Examination in Msia doesnt prove a single thing. Talking about SPM is like a totally rubbish for me, it's just so much mind based, i've roughly look through Singapore's syllabus like, very creative indeed.very practical based, very impressive. Msia SERIOUSLY needs to review it's syllabus. Even the matriculation programme im studying now, i dont even pay a single respect for it, but i took it because it's a shortcut to Local Unis. The syllabus is so outbeaten by private Uni's foundation year syllabus, what more if we compare it to Singapore?

Silly Government just means Silly implication of technology and investments. We are so proud to hear about the vast amount of budget allocation for Education, but everything just ends up wrongly. One complicated thing in Msia is that, there are SO MANY types of educations here... in Sgapore, ( as i know of) 3 Local Unis, and 5 polytechnics. BUt for Msia, its countless, 40++ of tertiary education centres. It's nothing to be proud of. Of course the number will increase, but the TYPES of educations here.. Matrics, local private, international private.. polytechnics.. uitms.. so many chains.. very very unorganized. The ministry must really review at this.

Singaporeans are considered better than Malaysians because of the training they are exposed to at the undergraduate level. They have faculty members from different parts of the world. Thus, they exercise higher level of thinking using evaluation and logical analysis in applying knowledge into their work. In Malaysia, college education is diluted. I cannot imagine feeding students at college level by printing them notes..

part 3:

Country's status.

It's easier in terms of financial for Singaporeans to get into Ivy Leagues and any prestigious Unis you can think of because of the amount of opportunities they get.

Top U.S. universities like Yale, Harvard, MIT and Princeton have extremely generous financial aid for singaporeans because of the high status Of NUS. but when you talk about Msia best UNi, UM, i guess i do not need to even mention about it.
.
Part 4:
The other part.
i read across an education blog and this point is kinda catchy for me. I think it's true. Each has their pros and cons. The reason why Singapore government has been so willingly to offer Msians PR and bonus while workin in their country is the way we think.We think differently, more freely, more creatively. I believe its that way la. Asian students would walk up to the microphone and talk about some cause, not the Singaporeans.i read across this,Singaporean columnist Wong Lung Hsiang said it reflected what he heard in China that “Taiwanese are shameless, Hong Kongers are heartless, Singaporeans are ignorant”. Singaporeans are good collectively, but individually they are lost. They are Affluent, Educated, but are they really survival Smart? “I won’t say we are stupid. We are just not daring and street-smart,” commented a Singaporean studying abroad. The average Singaporean is good at academic studies and works hard, but falls short on individual initiative and streetwise qualities, relying too much on the government for help. Another Q to be considered.

BUt in anyhow, anywhere, anytime,

Education and The Working world iS as different as chalk and cheese.

All the matter the most is still yourself, bringing out the best of you!

Exam paper!
