Today

Nothing much going on, I just finished my first driving class.

My God, I was so tense and kalut at the steering wheels, the way that I was so uptight in holding the golf club, you know, my grip is going to kill a bird if I had one in my hands. Someone, teach me how to relax.

I keep forgetting the sequence to a proper stop: clutch, brake, free gear, handbrake, release both feet.

Moving again: clutch, gear, release handbrake, releasing the clutch slowly and gently so that I don't stall the engine, which happened a few times today towards the end, because I've just about had it with the clutch.

But to comfort myself, at least, it was better than the first time, I didn't hit the curb much today, well because the instructor prevented me from doing so, but at least there were times when I did good, only after that, it was back to square one, and I'm like "AHHHH!!! what the h*ll is wrong with you?? It's a simple thing! You can study Physics and all that, but you can't do a simple thing like this??" at myself.

Self-reminder, if you brake without the clutch, it stalls the engine, and if you want to move, release the brake first! When stopping, feet do the work first, then the hands.

Well, I wish I could do my own practising in an arcade car or whatever to get the hang of the steering wheels, it's either I don't move my hands, or fingers, or I fumble. What's with the panic attacks? It's nothing for God sakes. Calm down!

My Unintended

I'm going back today =( My class is seemingly doing a drama on inter-species romance. An alien princess with a homo sapien teenager. It's gonna be fun. The props are gonna be out-of-this-world and maybe, kind of complex to make, but all the same, marvelous if we can pull it off. For the setting, we might be doing a space backdrop. Costumes, perhaps a blend of futuristic, contemporary and medievel and a little touch of Goth as it will be in a modern-day Halloween setting. We haven't discussed the storyline yet, but it's going to be a fusion of comedy, action and the lot.. Inspirations come from an array of popular sci-fi characters from Star Wars, Star Trek and a Malay short story Anyss Sophillea. I just can't wait.

Outta..Control!

Sometimes in life, we have to laugh ourselves silly..laughing at ourselves! Life must go on and there will always be more room for improvement. So, for my last post before I go back to school, I'm gonna put my debating pictures, then and now.. just for fun see how much I've evolved from the 4-minute emo speech to the 8-minute still emo speech, haha. however, I haven't any pictures on my public speaking though, so I don't know how I fared. One judge commented me last year that I was as stiff as a robot! so, here we go! THEN UIA 2007- against RMC, yep, this is the one I'm talking about! The most embarrassing debate, aww, my first time.. look at Mirul, covering his face in shame, Kak Ainul, praying kot? and at the back at that time, Teacher Rozy was having a good laugh with Amirul Irfan, RMC's researve at that time. okay..this went out of hand! what the hell was I doing?? These pictures are really old ones that reside in my thumbdrive that I have yet to upload.haha...

My Fair Lady

This is an old issue, I know. What has brought my attention to the topic of women rights was when I watched one of the episodes of Commander In Chief on Hallmark. In that series, the president of the United States was supposedly a woman. Interesting, and she plans to take the stand for women rights to the next level despite the controversies arousing her brave statement. The debate was whether or not it was relevant to debate on an old issue, in respect of the state of today's society. Women of today have a better status than they did way back in the days of history old. Women emancipation has been heatedly debated especially in the West throughout the time, and perhaps, the most memorable one was of the Suffragettes, fighting for the right of women to vote. Some places in Africa, in history, do not even recognize rape of women, as a crime, however, all of that has changed, thankfully. The question now is, are women actually 'emancipated' as we are all made to belief? well,...
