Amazing Voices of Andrew Johnston


It appears on the television about three children, Charice (talented young singer), 16, Tyler Weaver (karate boy), 12 and Andrew Johnston (choir boy), 13 years old. Andrew Johnston deals with the school bullies by keep singing.

Actually, I download this YouTube video for my beloved students, so it can inspire them. Because, I believe that this video showing something, that I think, I can feel, and understand. It is about talent we had. If we believe we have a talent, and even there are many flames on the road, and icebergs on the sea, blocked our way, we must prove that we do have the talent, and continue to keep fighting using that talent for goods.

This boy, Andrew Johnston keep fighting by continue to sing. He keeps singing since he believes that this is his talent. And that was perhaps, the most beautiful voice I ever heard. Even he got third in the Britain Got Talent 2008, but I believe that is only the first step. If he got talent, then he should be able to create chances.

To my beloved students, from the start, I believe in your talent. If you got talent, don't hide it. Don't waste it. Use it with every gut you have. You should bring it up with the strength you have. Even you're suck in English; don't stop talking about your talent. Don't stop thinking about your talent. There should be at least a way, that you can show your talent to prove your existence.

The most important thing is how you can use your talent to submit something good to everybody. And here, I would tell you, that our bowling session in this week will be canceled. I cannot take my flight tomorrow, since my car is located in a place that will be unavailable for me to open the gate. And I need to drive the car to drive to our home, so we can reunited again.

So, my students, make sure you did good thing in your computer classes, in your graphic classes, in your multimedia classes and in your mathematics classes and in every class that you should attend.

Until we meet again.

As the coordinator, I think I should do something to our computer labs. I love Vegas.

Sportsmanship Spirit Lies Inside Me

Today, it seems that we talk about sport. Firstly, I want to tell everybody about me and Sunday Scribbling. Since I am Malaysian, I am glad that it is almost 90% of my blog readers are from Malaysian which are the only person who can click on the advertisements on my blog and enjoy 99% of my blog's content. I am glad that my blog has half of thousands visitors everyday since I limited my blog from reaching 2000 maximum to avoid server down or something related to that. This is free blog host services, and there must be a limit for the traffics.
As we know, sportsmanship is something about honour or honor in American. For me, it is an honour to present Malaysian songs to world. That's why, even I know I got no benefit making traffic from foreign visitors through Sundays Scribblings, but in the past post, like I said, it would be an honour, to present some of the good songs from my country, so the world can hear them too.
Although there are internet money makers said to me, "What benefit will I get from joining Sundays Scribblings? You not get anything even they all visit your blog. You better focus on Malaysian for better income."

Yes. It is true that I do not get any income from foreign visitor, but my intention is not about making traffic with visitors like some of this money makers thought. This is a blog which is my belonging, my precious thing to me that I send my voice and opinion to other people overboard.

It is actually about a blog sport. Yup. Many people thing sport is something related to physical action. Sport and games. Chess is a mind sport. Chess is a mind gym. So blogging is something about mind, and can create something equal to sportsmanship.

As we know, sportsmanship is something about honour or honor in American. For me, it is an honour to present Malaysian songs to world. That's why, even I know I got no benefit making traffic from foreign visitors through Sundays Scribblings, but in the past post, like I said, it would be an honour, to present some of the good songs from my country, so the world can hear them also.

Do you know about WCOPA? Yup. It is a world artistic sport competition. It has gold medal, silver medal and bronze like other sport but it is related to singing, acting and modeling.


If you don't like rough activity such as football, soccer, rugby and other related sport but has some artistic skill you might represent your country or region to compete as an artistic athlete in WCOPA.

I think last year, Malaysia brought 10 gold medals from WCOPA. This kind of artistic sport is not really famous in my country but I know it will be in future.

So, I show my respect to this kind of artistic sport toward my blog. I present some of the good songs and singers which I believe they are belong to that competition - WCOPA.

I would like to see them standing in the eyes of the world. So today, again, I present my sportsmanship song, which always inspire me about sport. I am an athlete also. And I know, sportsmanship is also about sacrifice oneself and support each other.

A Champion's Regret - Until Heaven

There exist one singer, who was once doing one thing that make he regret. Because of his mistake, he was banned from appear on television. Actually he is not the one to be blame. He is a new talented singer, and he was given a responsible as he is a superstar. I somehow feel sympathy for him. It is actually a regret. He already regret for the past. Let us give him a new life as a singer.

This year, he was able to make a return to the world of music. Last year two of his amazing songs did not get any award. But this year he got three awards for his song. His song won as a champion in Ballad category. While he also win The Best Vocal Award and The Best Performer for that competition.

As in this video, you will see Faizal Tahir and his song "Sampai Syurga" (translated as "Until Heaven") start with some people trying to prepare his costume. Then, he will break into a superstar with wind flowing from the ground and red light. Later, there will be a group of people wear in black come to sing with him.

Beside of this video, if you're interest with other songs from Malaysia, you can click on SundayScribbling label below this post or CLICK HERE! There are songs which are good for me to present you about my country's story of nowadays

Phantom and Shadows - Time Reversal

In the past, this indie band was paid for RM0.30 for their performance, but at that night, they got RM37,000. What actually happen? The story will be told in this article of mine.

It hard to tell which part of the past time, that I would like to recall. For me if we cannot reverse the time, than we better forget on how to going back, but keep thinking on how to through into the future.


Past will never return, it is already become history. No matter what you do, you will be always walk toward future. It is useless to keep regret for every damn mistakes we done. We just walk our own way to create a better life. We walk to live the best life we could had.

I never think about reverting into past. Our life is not like blogger templates which we can revert either into the default template or classic blogger template. Time is gold, every moment we go through, it become experience.

Why would people thinking about going into past? I don't see any sense in that. To going back is not a way for a better solution, because it only an imaginary thing. The best thing to do is to predict from the past situation, and planning for better solution in the future. Or else, find more facts and news about anything that might be related to our future, and then do some analytical thinking and prepare for the solution.

If we keep thinking to go back to the past, it wouldn't done anything. It only wasting time. Forgive yourself for all the mistakes you had done in the past, and promise yourself that you will do a lot of better things in the future. That is how our past mean to us. We learn from the past but not going into them. We took only experience and knowledge, and bring them as one of our useful assets for our future.

If we continue to think about the past, we might bring some of sentiments, nemesis, hatred and sorrow. Even if we got many good nostalgia and sweet memories, it already a matter of past. If yesterday you're a champion, it is not likely that you will be a champion for the future. If yesterday you're a loser, it is not likely you're a loser in the future. What you have to do is keep walking and struggle for the day after tomorrow. That would be better.

Talk about championship, about tomorrow, about future. I would like to present a related song. For this week, I present you another underground or indie band in Malaysia - Meet Uncle Hussain. This song titled "Lagu Untukmu" or in English it can be translated to "Song For You" has won the grand contest - Anugerah Juara Lagu 2008 (Translated in English as Song Champion Award 2008). For Malaysian people, this tell us about the awakening of indie bands in Malaysia which for the last year, another indie band won the same title.

Yesterday, this group is just an underground and unpopular band, but today, this group has become the best and the most popular indie band in Malaysia. They ever got paid only 30 cent in one of their performance (0.07 US Dollar). But at that night, they won RM37,000 (USD 9801). Do they need to reverse their time? Enjoy this song.

Life Is Organic - It's Bitter, It' Sweet, It's Sour and Sometimes Salty

Today, I am still waiting for her call. She's someone who I love. Someone that I dreamed for. It has been for few months. I don't remember why I fall in love with her. But I do know that she was the one, that might be the perfect one for me.

There is one thing, that might made me fall in love with her. My name. My given name. Someone special said that it mean "Great Leader of Knowledge and Revolution."

So, that is perhaps a reason, that make me fall in love with her. She, that I'm trying to mention here, is my ambition. Yup. Ambition. Great dream. She's my future life. My current life? Full with tastes. Sweet, sour, bitter and sometimes salty. I think the best thing to do is not wait her. She's not coming. She cannot walks. She cannot run. She will always stay there. The only one who can make a walk toward her is me. I need to bring her along with all of my journey of life.

She is the one who are waiting for me. I need to pursuit her. I need to pursuit my ambition. The pursuit of
happyness. I am organic but she is not. I am real but she is a dream. I am organic so that I am real, she's not real and not even a mecha, so I am the one who can bring her into reality.

For this week's entry I would present a very inspiring song from Ella. Ella is my country - Malaysia's Queen of Rock. I am a fan of her. And I know, you will fall in love to this song. This song has been sang for years by many Malaysian warriors, disregard what race their are. I present this song to all Sundays Scribblings members, a song titled "Standing In The Eyes Of The World" by Ella.

Is There Exist Winter In Malaysia?

There is no snow in Malaysia as it is a country directly to the sun. Golden Chersonesus, this is an old name to Malaysia. A country where exist Malacca, a small state that rule over the world in the term of trading zone. That's an old story. There is no winter in Malaysia, so how can I participate in Sunday Scribbling for this week.

What is winter? Malaysia does not have winter? This is impossible. This is unfair to the penguin and Madagascar. So I decide to find the definition of winter. I found some meanings:

wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn said that winter is:
"The coldest season of the year; in the northern hemisphere it extends from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox."

activities.macmillanmh.com said that winter is:
"The coldest season It snows in winter in some places."

www.myzeez.com said that winter is:
"The year's coldest season; In the northern hemisphere, it runs about from December to March in places, and in the southern hemisphere, it runs ..."

At last, I know that Malaysia also has winter. This is one of the happiest moment about winter in my life. It must be true. For the sake of winter, I present you this Winter Sonata, which make some Malaysian people gone crazy to Korean drama.

24 November 2008 - My Grateful Birthday

24 NOVEMBER is my birthday. I am Sagitarius. It look like I got many birthday wishes from friends and others that I know. I am grateful to have them. What it look to be a Sagitarius. I am grateful to be a Sagitarius. I am grateful that I can reach this age. This post is dedicated to Sunday Scribbling.

I want to talk about personality. I born in November. France people spell it Novembre. A motivator expert said that people born in November is very creative, but he is the one that you cannot easily understand. He got vision and always think about future and what to do in the next step. His opinion is unique and wise. He has sharp mind, very analitical and somehow he got the sixth sense.



A person that born in November is suitable to be a doctor. He is very careful and systematic. Have dynamic personality. Always good in keeping secret and digging secret. A detective. Always thinking but less talk, still, a warm person.

A person born in November is a brave, loyal, kind and patient. He has iron heart. If he want something, he will work hard to get it. Not easily fall in anger, unless someone did aggressive things to him. He also know to find his strength and weakness.

A person born in November always think outside of a box. He not really appreciate compliments. High in spirit and morale. Will die trying to success in his goal. Has a very though body and athletic.

A person born in November is a lovely person. He love others. He is romantic and have very deep emotion. Sometimes, he confuse with love relationship. Love to stay at home. Very hardworking and have great abilities.

A person born in November is very loyal, honest, pure heart and a secret keeper. His ambition is high, and nobody can read him easily.

That is what the famous Malaysian motivator said. His name is Dato' Dr. Fadzilah Kamsah.

Well that's all my English practice entry for this week. I still not in a good mood, since my cousin was passed away 3 days before my birthday, this year. So, I am not feeling well to talk about my birthday. He is younger than me but passed away earlier.

God still give us another days to breath and walk, so we have chance to be better and do good things. We should grateful to our God.

I Share My Matters With Strangers

Do you know what is special about blogging? You share your opinion with strangers. People all around the world (sure, because I got some Sunday Scribblers coming here) will come to visit blogs, and then they land their comments, critiques, compliments and affairs to the blogger's blog. Some of them just become stalkers,cold blooded reptile who only come and read with empty or scribbling mind.

Today, sure I would like to give opinion about the Sunday Scribblers' blogs that I visited. What they say about stranger? And what my opinion toward them?



Okay, start with Bawdy Wench. She has some good philosophy about strangers. If we start to 'hi' and greet every people we meet in our daily life, soon, there will be no stranger in this world. How is that? Cool.

Next, I visit some other blog. This time a girl name Sunshine. That make me remember to the award nomination film - Little Miss Sunshine. What Miss Sunshine said about stranger. She said, truth is stranger than fiction. That truly a deep thought. Truth is stranger than fiction. Alienation. Alien. That's sure true. Truth is opposite to fiction. Fiction is fake. Truth is none fiction. Well, there is logic about that statement of her. Done with that.

Okay, next. What's blog I visited for the third in my visited blog list? It is Mrs. Bryan Brenda. She is very experienced woman. Born in 1931. She write about strange illusion. That's a poem and I am trying to understand the message of this poem. It is a story, a detail about the strange illusion picture. I left my greet there like above blogs I've visited.

The fourth blog goes to Lilly. She has some commitment. I saw the relation of each entries in her blog with the Sunday Scribblers task. She wrote stories. That's another good. There is a creative blogger. Good and flexible imaginator. I give her two thumbs up!


Tanya Gwen said something about a stranger lies within us. This is the fifth blog that make me interest. The subject stranger discussed in a new perspective. An unknown voice of a stranger that whisper into our mind. That sound thrilled! Nice thought, this bring up a subject of psychology to me.

That would be the fifth blog for tonight. It's already deep in the night and I think I will go to my bed. I am a stranger, but I visited them, and share my opinion. That's how I share my matters with strangers. Why do someone cannot believe about this that it can be happen? A person listen, reading and accepting or rejecting the idea. A person share anything in their mind. We just like voices, strange voices that floating in the internet. It has many meanings.

We try to understand, but stranger will be always be strangers unless like Bawdy Wench said, that I understand that if we start to greet and to know the strangers, soon there would be no stranger in our life. Perhaps, it is true.

A Change For A Better Life With Programming

Today, I would like to talk in easy way, discuss every little problem in our main life so that we could change our life into easier life. Thing got easier, you live easier. Can we program love? Make a change, put some alternatives so you can change if anything problem with your first love plan. Yes, programming is about alternative changes.

First of all, we talk about love. Love is easy if we are not choosy. You found your favourite girl, you feel shy to approach her. Make it easy, drop your ego, drop your emotion, go get her and let's this dialogue begins with some ala BASIC program. You need to come with strategies, and make sure you can CHANGE your plan with other good strategy:

YOU (BOY or GIRL) "Hi, how are you?"

START

TARGET ANSWER:

1. "Hi, I'm fine."
2. "Hi, I'm fine, thank you."
3. "Hi, I'm fine, what a lovely day."
4. "Are you talking to me?
5. No Answer

INPUT: A

LOOP

IF A = 1 GOTO DIV=1,A2
IF A = 2 GOTO DIV=1,A1
IF A = 3 GOTO DIV=1,A3
IF A = 4 GOTO DIV=1,A4
IF A = 5 GOTO DIV=1,A5


Then you might consider that girl might be not easily warm to chat with. You need to make some joke, or you can consider to be someone who are really care to other. So, base on above answer, you can make a change in your next moves. What kind of changes that you can plan for the next move? Make a program for that:

A1. "Let's get married" - A TRUE HEART LOVER
A2. "You look pale, every day of life is not easy aren't they?" - A FORETELLER
A3. "Tadaaa!" You make some magic trick - A MAGICIAN
A4. Slap! You give a hand to that girl face. "Wake up!" - A BARBARIAN


Programming a love relationship from A to Z surely take time. You need to be careful in giving orders or else you life will be complicated. Yes, you need to revise your code and change it.

AND ONE LAST ANSWER: Do you find any mistake in program above? Is there any mistake or not? That will define what kind a person of you. If you can found the mistake, make sure you fix it before you start your love program. Yes, check it. But above, I let the mistake there, so you can tell me later what is the mistake I made above.

I've done today's English Practice. Well, would you mind to click the advertisement on the right of my blog? If you don't mind to. It's ok.

#134 - Picture Of Me - Another Blog Assignment

#134 -- "I don't like myself. I'm CRAZY ABOUT MYSELF!" -- Mae West. This week: bragging. What's awesome about you? You can pick one awesome thing, or list as many as you can. Don't be shy!

Wow! Actually, I just busy around with some business, so I left the Sunday Scribblings blog for few weeks. Most posts here were posted earlier. They just come out in time. But I think, I might need a real time post today. Let's have a KICK-START for today. You're talking about bragging right? OK. Let's brag for a joke. I am not totally Asian. I looked like young Dean Cain.

Yup. Actually Dean Cain is taller than me. But I have muscle and hard body like him, and my face are 70% look like him. By the way, Dean Cain is mix Asian and American. So it is same as me, my blood is a mix between Asian and European.

Really, when I was a school boy, there's group of girls trying to kiss me. And I got more than 60 (sixty) adopted sisters. But now, I prefer to be alone. There's story behind it, but I don't like to talk about it. It just because I am busier, now and more mature than before. I wonder why I need to take so many adopted sisters. I don't have time to spare to think all of them. But now I understand, I have an excellent leadership ability.

My mother said, "Which one is your girlfriend?". Yup. That's because I have too many girls around me. Nope. I am not a playboy. These girls are my friends. Hey, I have male friends also. I have my gang. We share some hobbies that the boys should do. Comics, PC Games, football, and others.

These girls will give me some gifts when it come to my birthday. When I got number one in school, the girls will give me gifts. I like girls. They like me. So, that's fair.

I am an athletic. Sport is my favourite. When it come for me to martial art's self defense show, the girls' eyes will put on me. My elder sister said, her friends said that I am very smart and good-looking guy. Wow!

When I was in primary school, I am starring in sprinter. I am good in soccer. I can play as goalkeeper or midfielder. I like midfielder because I can see the field and control the situation easily. I am fast in speed, since I am a sprinter, that give me benefit to defense and help in making scores. Sometimes I score.

Many people said I am multi-talent. Many girls and even boys made me as their icon, idol and inspiration subjects. No wonder there are many people look high at me. They see me as a person that they need to achieve. Legendary was born then.

I do not know why, everywhere I go, people love me. Guard, shopkeeper, cleaner, lecturer, teachers, old folks, childrens and others love me. It come to term, if you are kind, you will like me. If you're bad person, you will hate me. Haha.

But most of all, that is my story. Well. I don't think I did well in this assigment. Bragging. I done practice my English then. There must be some mistake. But this is only a practice.

How I Meet God?


I do not see God, yet...
but I met the God's love
Written by Amiene Rev (C) 2008

How to meet God? This must be a question with many meaning. I pray so then I can meet God. I have many things to tell to God.

God said, if you wish something. Pray. If that thing is good for me, God will give it or else God will make my path into another way of destiny.

Some people blame God. But that's is not what we should do. There exist many paths of life. But some of us didn't realize which is better and which is the best for us.

So, how I can meet God? There must be a way, but we didn't know. But God give us clues. One of them is pray.

I can't see God for now, but I can see the God's love. Oxygen and air is really important for us. Without them, we die. But God make it free and mostly everywhere. Water is cheaper than petroleum or gold, but without water, we run out of body fluid and we die. God give us rain and water for free. We need light to see the enviroment, so God give us Sun. We need dark to sleep and rest, so God give us night.

Why we should blame God when God give us the most important. But most of us never use it wisely. Some of us pollute the air, pollute the water and many more. The environment become angry. The Sun heated us more. The stinky air attack our lung. Fishes in the sea died and tsunami happened.
How can we meet God like this?

Most of all, God give us a brain for every people. God said in God's words that we are selected to be the world's protagonist because we have brain. But some of us deny the important of the brain to us and to the enviroment.

How can we meet God like this? Think of all of this, I know one way to meet God. It is to pray and to be obedient. But, I realize that I met the God's love. Grateful. God give us the Book, so we can follow the guides.

God give everybody a brain so we can become grateful and use all the God's loves give to us wisely. So then we can finally meet our God.

Do I Have To Fill In The Blank?

Do I Have To?
by Amiene Rev (c) 2008

Readers, this is a very-very bad question. Do you mind to read it? Read it on your own risk. What is the risk? Let us see some situations:

CASE 1:
You see a cat, crying for help in a deep river. You can't swim. What will you do? Do you try to save that cat?

CASE 2:
You see a child, crying for help in a deep river. You can't swim. What will you do? Do you try to save that child?

CASE 3:
You and your friend were caught by a killer. The killer ask, "I will let only one of you alive, while the other die. Who want to live?"

What is you decision? Do you have to say. "I want to live." or "I want to die?"

CASE 4:
Your loving wife/husband was get caught by a killer. The killer ask you to kill your best friend, or else your wife/husband will die.

What will you do? Do you have to let your friend or your loving one to die?

CASE 5:
You see a news broadcasting in a television, about the citizen of other country are dying because of war. What will you do? Do you have to help them or just let them dying on their own business, while you do and walk your life on.

Ask yourselves, "What will I do?" and "Do I have to?"

There are many answers to above question. But only one will work the best, while the other will cause you to regret. And what is your best answer and what will make you regret? That's is also depend on what do you have to do based on your decision.

The day I found solace as a hero ES


I know you're an abandoned. Do not lie to me? I know, what you the reader, think about it. Yes, you're thinking of... something did you? You're asking me, "What is all about?" and in another term it would be, "Is it does matter?".


How about, solace. This is weekend, some people need solace. Are you reading this on Saturday, well, yeah, it's not weekend yet. I agree.

Do you know that the word solace, has some other meaning, related to these words: Solat and Solah? Never heard of them or you never heard to the word of praying. Both are nearly same meaning. Muslim praying. It make them feel comfort.

Why would you ask, if you're an atheist? You never praying since you didn't have God. So, would you pray for some other gods? This is a very critical question. I won't answer this question. Everybody has their own discreet opinion. Something that we should debate or not, it is, so sensodyne. Yea, sensodyne.

Oh, what? Yea, I forgot that it is 'S' rather than 's'. Since Sensodyne is a brand. What kind of parody do I make today?

Well, pretend that you're and atheist. Do you think you're God? Do you think that you have God power such as Heroes? You're Peter Petrelli? Hiro Nakamura or something like... evil Sylar.

Yeah, really today is weekend. I need to find some solaces. I feel like not right to communicating. Might be because I was tired. I need some sleep.

Oh, by the way, you should considering this video of YouTube then:

Chance Encounter With Freaking Creatures

Chance Encounter
With Some Unseen Neighbours

REAL STORY BY AMIENE REV (c) 2008

How to summon a dead soul? This is a question I found once, in Yahoo! Answer. Do you know what is the best answer chosen for this question? It was "Leave them in peace - they don't need to be pestered by people looking for kicks."

I said, "Wow!"

I do not know what to comment but, there are many funny and humorous answers in that site. In my native cultures, there is a way where people can have the chance encounter with some fairy things creature. Here, in this entry, I will talk about some encounter that most of people do not have chance for it.


Freaking Creatures:

1. White great lizard with golden beak.
I remember when I was still very young and adolescent, I meet one. This lizards looked like komodo dragon and somehow it has white scale skin with yellow beak. I wonder if it is an albino lizard? These kind of lizards also known as 'biawak'. But this one might be an 'biawak albino'. Or it might be a new species?


2. The red wing crow.
This is another strange creature I met around my family house. It happens few years ago. This might be a vegetarian crow. I do not know since I found no fact about it is a crow. All crow usually black. Some are rarely white. But a black crow with red wing? Is that a new species?


Paranormal and haunting encounter - A kind of elf and fairy things.

1. Toyol - Green walking baby work as a thief

How To Pronounce 'Toyol':
In Malaysia, we pronounce 'Toyol as 'Tow' + 'youl' such as how to pronounce Low and Ghoul. In Indonesian, 'Toyol' is pronounce as 'Tuyul' or 'Tooyool' which is equal to Zoo and Cool.

Toyol is believed to be a race or a species of a supersapien called jinny or djin or genie. There are many cases in Malaysia and neighbourhood countries about this little thief. You might think 'toyol' is a cute creature, pet by a 'syirik' person. This person, who own this 'toyol' will ask this creature to steal money from other people. As a price, the owner of this 'toyol' must give the blood from their toe tumb. The 'toyol' will suck the blood either from the owner or his wife. It is believe that the owner of toyol usually thin and underweight.



2. Balan-balan

Pronounce as "Bal + larn" - "Bal + larn" as the vocal 'a' as "Aaa" in every 'a' in the words "Balan-balan".

Balan-balan is a dark magic contracted demon which has no body but only head. It appears as flying fireball in the night. If you see a 'balan-balan' and point your finger to this creature, it will fall and die. 'Balan-balan' usually send by some 'syirik' folk to give problem to the victim. Usually because of nemesis, jealous or hatred matters.

This creature can be seen mostly during the night, in village area, where there are no such change culture. Old culture or folk culture in Malaysia.


3. Bunian

Pronounce as "Boo + nee + yan".

'Bunian' is one of the famous living creature, believe to be another race such as genie. You might consider 'bunian' as the 'elf'. 'Bunian' cannot be seen by people unless they want people to see it or somehow people can see it. 'Bunian' usually has religion like human.

I met these kind of creature already and I believe some of you seen this 'discreet' people. You can somehow meet them if you live, or stay in area which is surround with thick jungle - the virgin forest. They are like normal people and have their own language - the 'bunian' language'.

In many case of old folks story in Malaysia, there are an interesting story where this bunian married with human and took the human to their 'bunian' world. There, in the bunian world, this man will not aging. Some man return to pay visit their family, but, it is a shock that is like one week in 'bunian realm' equal to almost 10-15 years in human realm.

There are many races of 'bunian'. One of the famous real story in Malaysia, in June 2008, was the case of 'bunian' or 'makhluk halus' somehow cause chaos in a local boarding school. More than 200 pupils got hysteria in Secondary Science School of Dungun, Terengganu, Malaysia (Sekolah Menengah Sains Dungun, believe that this creature trapped in human body. When this creature trap in a body of a human, they are hard to get out from the body so they assimilate with the human body. If the host's the possessed human soul is weaker than the 'makhluk halus', this creature will took over the body and cause chaos. Hysteria.

One of most popular Malaysian politician, Dato' Dr. Harun Din was called to help release this 'discreet creature' from the victims.There are many stories about Dato' Dr. Harun Din. He has very strong knowledge in Islamic religion and has many experiences dealing with these 'discreet creatures'.

One student describe the 'bunian' such a shadow with red eyes. Other pupil said he saw a white female person flying in his classroom that morning. The same incident happen to nearby school, National Secondary School of Dungun (Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dungun).

The record said that four years ago, the same case happened here, in Dungun. If you come to Malaysia and go to Dungun, you will realize that there are forest and jungle here which is a good reason to tell, there are local 'bunian' village here.

When human began their civilization, building near or inside the 'bunian' village there will be probability that a body of a human clashed with a body of a 'bunian' and at some case, the trapped body of the 'bunian' failed to release him/herself from the human body and cause 'kerasukan' or possession. Most end up with hysteria before the local people try to cure the victim by releasing the trapped creature.

So... a chance encounter. That is it... for this Sundays Scribblings. I'm still practicing my English.

The Lessons I’ve Learnt about Blogging


My Life As A Blogger - Series 1
The Lessons I’ve Learnt about Blogging
Originally Written by Amiene Rev (C) 2008

There are many lessons I can get from blogging. I become a blog reviewer last two years and from that I learn many best thing about career, life, skills and many more.

01. There is a way to solve our problem
Most people have something to share. Anxiety. Sadness and Sorrow. Opinion. Problem. I found that blogging is such one good way to share our problem. You tell something that put your emotion down. Someone from unknown place will become your angel. This is true thing. But, before that, I recommend you to go and write comment on other blogger's post first so they will get your blog link.


02. It is the most powerful way to spread our stand
Do you have very very great great opinion about one issue? You should understand that blog somehow faster than a bullet. You got cross over the local public media. With a blog, you can gain your own fan and follower, if you have very accurate facts to give speeches in your blog. Write down your entry, blame someone, praise someone and see what kind of reaction you will get.


03. It is the best way to full your fantasy of being popular person
Ever heard about one hot chick named Sister Furong Jijie. I wonder why there still exist the word Sister instead of only using Jijie? Furong Jijie or Sister Lotus was once the most popular ever exist girl who succeed in becoming a very popular person around her country, China. Her popularity are well-known and once involve the goverment. Wow! Do you still underestimate the power of blog?


04. Blog is a one way for you to understand other
Sometimes, letters written by pen, type by keyboards are different than words spell out by our tongue, teeth and mouth. You can said it, but with your heart, you move your hand and act. It is something like you kill a person and say, I'm sorry I don't mean it. Or you slap your girlfriend or your boyfriend face and then you said, "Oh, my God,". Your mouth can't said it but your heart, your feeling can motivate your arms, fingers and any other part of your body to act for something. It is common thing, we can say blogger's pieces of words and the real person is differ. We have fantasy on what we are. Because of this, you can see what a person understand about him or herself by reading they writing styles. Whatever they can't talk, they write it on their blog. It is a pure nature. You fear of something, your body hair goes straight but you won't say a word.


05. Blog is one of the most powerful political weapon
If you're a politician, it is a stupid thing you don't have a blog. Barrack Obama himself is the writer of the best hit books; Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope. Writing is about black and white, proof. Saying is a repeating and somehow it annoying our ears. If you read something, you can take a rest from reading.


06. Blog is one of the best way to promote and sell your product.
Blog is a unique weapon but still not stand on it's own. You can use their extended tools such as YouTube.com, Imeem.com, Cbox.com and many more to increase the interaction and understanding about what you're going to sell to your prospect. Just type words like buy a house and then you got many title about how to buy a good house for your family? Cheap house to rent and anything. If you are self-publisher of your very own books. You can start your internet book store buy making a blog.


07. Blog design is simple and everbody love it!
Believe or not, one day people will start to read news in a form of a blog. Blog is interactive. If a media give a shit to a fact for one news to fool people, you can blame the media in the blog and show the truth, give some link so next time when other visitor come to read the news, they see the link and they click on the link and then they got different perspective, different reason, different facts and proofs about the news. See, how democratic the world is when blog is taking over this world. No more sweet candy news of fool to our people.


08. Make money with your blog with just type some words!
Blog is truly a money maker tool from heaven to home. You write and you got money. You spend your time writing something and still, you can get money. With many advertisement widgets for blog, which pay you some penny and cents and ringgits and dollar or scam you out there! You can make money with your blog!


09. Enemies and friends are now global
If you involve to far in a blog world, going to strengthen your opinion about some issue. You got a problem, kid. You will uprising the angers of some reader and else they become your allies. Politician issues, religion issues, enviromental issues and many more, is something something you must take care about. When you start writing, if you're have good traffic for you blog, there must be a chance for you to make friend or foe.


10. Crazy about gain traffic to your blog is really crazy!
Do you know that when there are many people come to you blog, your blog will be loading slow and that will cost you money. So it is a good thing if you're in business and want to attract or focus on one group of people in same category. For example you're an internet book seller, so write about books, your books, the benefit and issue related to your book theme. Else, you will get some punk who just making noise at your blog.


11. Good way to become an online educator
Are you a teacher? Are you a lecturer or researcher or a tutor? If you're true heart or true born teacher, why not use your blog to write something relate to your teaching subject? Do you realize how many kids around the world use the internet to find some good facts or answer to their homework or experiment? Do you realize some pupils in your class cheating in essay writing by copying some free material from the internet? Internet is a scary thing, as it is good to be use for education purpose. Wikipedia, is one of the most popular internet tools for youngster. It is a fact.


12. Blog is one good way to improve your skills and confident in writing
I normally write in Malay. Yea, Malay is my language here. Guys, girls, I am Malaysian. So if you found some bad bad grammars, misspelling or anything not good in my writing, I don't really care as long my message can be understand. I do have confident in my writing so, we just write as we talk. Typing the word as fast as we talk. We gain confident. And so, the skills.


13. Internet Addict
Who ever fall into the world of blogging, should curious about their internet habits. Do you ever feel something like worried about you got no idea to write for today's post? Do you ever feel something like guilty if you do not post anything for yesterday. Do you care about people comment you and you didn't answer? Do you think that it is not a perfect life if you can't log into your blog account for 24 hours? You sure got internet addict. Beware, my friend. Beware my 'kawan'. This should be the last lesson you should get from the internet.

The Weird Thing Is Not The World But The People Themselves

The Weird Things
by Amiene Rev (C) 2008

This poem was created for my English Practice
and for an assigment for Sunday Scribblings Blog

I think this world is weird
but the world is not a nerd
The people act like a herd
chicken, buffalo but sometimes the shepherd.

When Saddam rule Iraqi, the oil is a bonus
but when the foreigner intervene, oil is no more a plus.

The people should afraid of the goverment, that weird
The goverment should afraid of the people, that weird
Is that God we should first to be afraid of?
So how it is an atheist, that weird.

People like to make Math and Science easy
but some country prefer it hard way,
so people would decode the foreign language and be busy
before they can think about the concept
in their mothertongue language, is that silly?

We already found hidro and solar
as new energy source for driving so far
but people still like flooding the blood
for some fossil source energy to go to Mars

All people said about global warming
Ice in the north start to melting
But trees are to be cut
Easy like nut

People today can fall in love
even it just a cyber date
Some suicide because of a crush
It's all about emotion on rush

Online game are more to real
Clan and tribe communate in the web
Forget the bills, homework and wife
Just to be loyal for something unreal

People today like to sings
And most likely what people could cry for,
SMS credits donate for popularity
How is Somalians, no one care?

Kids nowadays rude than ever,
Teachers at schools seems as bad boy,
Rule are heavier for those teachers,
but why parent and childrens got more power?

Rich become richer,
Poor become poorer,
where the money come
if not from the people.

The world is small,
that's people always said,
but neighbour name and birthday,
not all people now.

A troll come to a blog,
and wasting time trolling,
they didn't get money or any good thing,
but still hunger for sin and hatred?

People have religion,
but still looking back to their God,
and afraid to Satan and bad luck
more than what God can do.

World is weird,
so that many people said,
but what make it weird,
if not the people?

Thank you.
For making the world weird.
So then we are confuse.
Or else we should feel sorry.

You're welcome.

Practice English For MUET: If Life Is Just Like

I should start practising English for MUET.

If life by Amiene Rec (C) 2007

If life is just like bread, then love is something we should spread on it.
If life is just like hell, then demon is something related to it.
If life is just like heaven, then we, as a human is something acting in it.

If life is just toy, then we who decide it fate.
If life is just like an insect, then we either take the honey or find a rose for it.

If life is just like milk, then drink it, and grow up, be a man.
If life is just like venom, then our spirit is the vaccine.

If like is just like bone, we break it but it will always heal.
If just is just like spirit, we ruin it, and we die.

I do not know if my English is correct or not.
I will make use of my blog to train myself.

"Sekiranya kamu berikan racun atau bisa kepadaku,
maka jangan lupa berikan penawarnya sekali." - Amiene Rev
