For frrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!???

Firstly, I’m sorry if the title annoyed you. But hey, who doesn’t love free stuff? Speaking of free stuff here, the free education topic is still on. Maybe it is one of the opposition’s manifesto. Okay, let’s kick politic out of this entry. I think I have commented about this before on Twitter. Anyway, as everyone already knew, school fees for primary to high school had been repealed starting last year. I still remember that time when I was staying with my housemate which happened to be a school teacher. She kinda pissed about this. The good thing about school without fees is it will help poor people but then schools have to be dependable for the school activities. And when they asked for extra money from parents, of course they will get money WITH lots of complaints. I can’t write much about this since I’m just a tuition teacher.

In my opinion, free education for all levels (hope government can include polytechnics and community colleges too) are a good thing except for the high level (degree and above) for IPTA and IPTS. But actually there is a free tuition fee and allowance for students in higher institutions. Surprisingly, not many of people that complain about free education knew about this. Maybe they knew, but they try to hide the fact since they’re not qualified. Yes, you can’t get free lunch without invitation. To get the invitation, what students should do is work hard and take their study seriously. It is unfair for others that work so hard to get the invitation and at the end of the day, everyone demands for free lunch too and they just sit down and wait to be served with free delicious meals. After all, there are 20 public universities, 28 private universities, 22 private university-colleges and 403 private colleges in our country. If all fees for free (even for public universities only), just imagine what will happen to our economy. My hope is before any parties want to complain or consider about free fees, maybe they should help research students first. Hey, we really need a grant for our research!  

the broken ones

Ever heard broken heart is the most hurtful pain in this world? It’s quite true though since you can see by yourself its effect on someone’s life or yours. According to scientific fact, someone could die of a broken heart. When you lost someone (doesn’t matter if that person dies, through a breakup, divorce, rejection, etc. ) you feel like someone ripped your heart out, literally or sometimes like me, it feels like my heart fall from the top of the twin towers, break into pieces and then everyone steps on it. And then its beginning, the dark chapter of your book where you sleep with tears on your pillow, eat a lot of desserts and you even forgot how happiness tastes like. It takes a long time to heal a broken heart, sometimes months and sometimes years, depends on a person.But there is a good thing comes out of this.

A broken heart will turn you into a stronger one within hope. A piece of my story, I always perform in my studies every time after I had my heart broken. This is the power of being a broken one. After you finally can move on, you become stronger and its like you live in the new world with new hope. Though you wish in vain that the pain is still there, life continues and you have no choice but to press forward button. It's funny in life that you have to fall very hard in order for you to rise and shine. It’s good to be the broken ones as long as you know how to twist your sorrow into success and make everyone see what you're made of. Obvious example? Of course Taylor Swift and Adele.

How to be Forever Alone 101

Being alone is like being a single. It’s an option and it’s your choice. Well, maybe not. But here are the simplest lesson ever (you don’t even have to practice it!) I want to share since I’m the ‘Mother of Forever Alone’ :

1. Find work or apply place to further your study far away from your hometown and your family (if you got the offer, then you’re lucky)
2.  Don’t keep in touch or call your family and friends, wait until they call/message/whatsapp you first (unless you’ve something important)
3. Find some issues to start a fight and make your best friends hate you
4. Stay away from social activities.
5.  Avoid interaction or conversations with strangers.
6. Rent a room and make sure your housemates are different race/gender with you or not friendly
7. Be a mean person, so that everyone hates you (maybe this is too much)

If you follow all these steps...Congratulation! You’re now me. :D

Keyboard Warrior VS Drama Queen

Yesterday, I bought Personal Money magazine latest issue (my favorite magazine so far) and read this an article entitle “why do we overreact online”. In summary, this article is about keyboard warrior, some study made by the famous University about it and the reasons why some people enjoying being one. If you’re on social networks site now (either Twitter, Facebook or blog) you can see the keyboard warrior everywhere. The number of them is too damn high and it is more scarier than ghosts. We can’t stop a person from being a keyboard warrior and I don’t even say it is wrong to be one.  It is okay as long no one will get hurts or commit suicide from the words that you said .

Drama Queen is another term that I used for attention seeking whore. There are plenty ways to be famous on the internet but being a drama queen is my least favorite. In fact, I hate it. If you’ve Twitter account, I’m pretty sure you familiar with several names that used to be trending because of this (I will not mention their names here). I don’t even get why is so important to be famous on the internet. What they get actually instead of shame and people keep talking something bad behind their back? I used to be a drama queen before, but not on the internet. I must admit, it isn’t fun at all. Indeed, people have a tendency to hate you more. In before, if there is a battle between these two characters on the internet, I always prefer keyboard warrior than drama queen.  

just because I have XX chromosomes

It is not easy to be a human called woman. I don’t say it is easy to be a man either. But if you were born with XY chromosomes, at least you don’t have to be worried a chance you might bury alive or called bearer of bad luck in some culture, experience the nightmare of period pain every month and endless pain of giving birth. Yes, men have lots of responsibilities. However in this modern age, some of their responsibilities are shared with us, women. Women nowadays are more independent, smart and have their own career. We are so much luckier compared to women in the 1960s. Back to my mom’s year when she was a teenager and got an offer to further her study, my grandma didn’t give permission to her since most of the people think a women’s place should be in the kithchen. Well, most of us today are in front of a computer at the office instead in the kitchen.

Even so, there are still some issues for example in our culture, when it comes to rape or sexual harassment, some people still condemning women’s clothing as the reason this thing happened. Meanwhile in the western culture, it is okay if men sleep with many women but when women do the same, they will labeled as a slut. I’m trying not to sound so sexist while writing this entry and of course I’m not demanding for gender equality here. Just for men out there, it is very much appreciated if you can give us, women some respect. That’s all we need instead of love and a little bit attention. For women, please try to stand up for yourself (seriously, I hate to see women that are too dependent/needy) and love yourself since we’re all beautiful. Hey! We have our international day which men don’t have. Yup! We’re special after all. J

If CTRL + ALT + DEL doesn’t work, press ESC

Admit it. It is always easier to run away from people that you don’t like and problems that you have than face it. I’ll admit, I do it too sometimes. Oh well, what the hell! Everyone does. So the question here is why are we too afraid to face the truth or to tell someone that “we can’t be more than friend” or just being honest and tell them the truth? Someone told me that running away is probably the best way since you can drag the time and as the time pass by, the person that you are avoiding might forget about the unresolved issue. We all know that things never work that way. It is not easier for that person to just forget about the issue especially when that person is a woman; unless she doesn’t care about it.

So, if you can solve the issue in the first place, why bother to run? Is it because we afraid that the person might get hurts? What's the difference anyway? If you keep the person in the dark for too long, trust me, it hurts more than knowing the truth. That’s why I prefer to face my problems by telling the truth to someone. Okay, maybe the risk here you might lose her/him. (That's explained why I keep losing my friends and some people that I know around me). Some people give another name for a person that like to run away from his/her problems which is a coward. But how about the other person that is the victim of the issue? If that person let he/she ran away for too long, is it means that person is just as same as her/him? It isn’t wrong to run away sometimes but somehow you know that you can’t run away forever. At some point, you have to stop because you will get tired of running. So, maybe it is better for all of us to stop running, avoiding and ignoring the problems or some people, and just be a man and face it. 

W T F

Hey, it's Wednesday again! Yup. I’m happy because it is Wednesday. Wednesday is my favorite day of the week (for now) because I can watch my favorite drama series, Revenge at night and of course, we can watch movie in cinema with the cheaper price compare to other days. For those who are working, Wednesday means you have another two days to the weekend. (Okay, I’m being captain obvious here). Anyway, nothing much to write today. But really though… it seems times flies really fast now. I felt like just yesterday I wrote a post about best friends and it was last week. Last two days, I talked to my friend about this and she felt the same too. Its like the end of the world is near. Agree?
