Environment for studying

A suitable place to study is always not in my list of concerns about studying
I used to think that a desk or a bed especially will do
But now I started to feel that studying environment is very imperative to encourage and motivate us to open the books

It could be because I was brought up in a decent family, my mum stressed us a lot on studying 
Though we are not rich, my parents have tried the best to provide us a souvend environment for studying
Therefore since secondary school, I would not ride down to the town deliberately just to get to the library or McDonald to read
I was wondering why can't they just study at home?
Is it necessary for them to take a long ride just for a space to study?
May be the air conditioner is cool attractive, but does it make a lot of differences?

But later on, I realized that I was so naive to have the perception that everyone had a decent place to study at home
Furthermore, outside with friends, they could chit chat a bit when it became too boring.
Thanks God for what I have and given by my parents, not everyone share an equal fortune.

In my tertiary education,  the external environment of having a suitable, comfortable ( with air conditioning or midnight), or quiet place to study has become a key for me to study. My productivity is at peak during mid night. Especially someone takes part in activities or joining any society, club or organization, the poor little guy just have inadequate time for them to study in the day time.

In addition, a very convincing reason, that is when I am apart from my laptop my effectiveness and productivity of studying can go staggeringly higher.
God damn, it is so true for people like me who is not pretty good in self-discipline, self-control, self-management, or self-whatever. 

Aside from these external and physical kind of environment, however, the intangible kind of environment plays a more prominent role to "lure" us to study.
For instance, the type of friends that you hang around in the class, are they the sloppy one or aggressive type, or the type of your lecturer, strict or lenient. 
Definitely, in an environment where you have aggressive friends and strict lecturers is more favorable if we are talking about getting good grade, it has a positive impact for us to feel pressure for studying hard. 
Just imagine that one of your lecturers is strict and very demanding, he assigns tests and pop-quiz in class relentlessly, and at the same time all your fellow classmates are so aggressive in studying in order to trample on those do not study well, then someone n this environment is so likely to be hard working as well. 
It forms a kind of aura of hardworking and engender pressure and reason for us to contend with other students. 

You know, human being is born to have a mindset of winning and may be we are pre-engineered to love winning over others. What a sad scenario.

But you know, learning should be fun, find my interest in the topic and I think being curious and interested can make learning lot of fun. This is the most powerful and strongest environment of studying, perhaps.

Barrack Obama won Re-election

Congratulation to Mr President
It is so impressive that Mr President still attracts the voters very well
Even though in the past 4 years there were some economic issues
I really thought he would lose to Romney(I am one of his supporters)
Whatever so he did it
this time the first black to win re-election

Part Timer Life Guard

For sure we have heard of being life guard as part time as a student in the movie and novel so often
But now I am actually doing the same thing
To earn some pocket money I take a part time job to be a life guard in Prince of Wales Island International School
The paid is quite lucrative but just the distance is a bit too far, Balik Pulau
Anyway I think that the school is very nice and i must be a very good place to develop a student, as I can see the attitude of the students are far more proactive and sociable you know



This is my work place


The school is not very big, but it contains a lot in it

On my way back I have a chance to enjoy this beautiful sunset scene on a hill top
This my equipment that I found there

This is a welcoming stone, similar to the one in USM



SD (Super-Deformed) Gundam

Recently I got a new interest
Gundam plastic models
I want to start collecting gundam models
I personally love Super Deformed model,
they are just so cute and can be so cool too

Through surfing online, I have learnt about many knowledge about how to build and paint a gundam plastic model
I really can't wait to start doing some panel lining on my gundam now
Just the case that at the moment I am so busy with study
I show some of my gundam without panel lining and painting

This is 0 Gundam

I personally like Zaku very much
A white Zaku, I am actually looking for a blue SD Zaku

Force Impulse Gundam

Force Impulse Gundam

Freedom vs Force Impulse Gundam


Yeah, 00 the coolest among all, I think it will need some painting to be more presentable


I think after some decent amount of panel lining and painting and coating of course, they will be looking far more cooler =P

Pre season surprise from lakers

Wow... that is indeed a long time that I don't update myself about NBA
I was so surprised when the news of Howard is traded to lakers came to me
A couple of years back, I was desperately hoping Lakers could sign KG
A super paint dominator...
But now I was so excited that Dwight Howard one of top center in the league currently and in his tip top condition is in L.A now
I guess the whole Lakers's fans family is getting crazy out of over excitement
look at the roster

PG Nash
SG KObe
SF Metta
PF Gasol
C   Dwight

To me this roster is more than enough to fight against the young Thunders
regaining the western conference champ is a must for them now
if not they will certainly lets a lots of fans down
Think about the luxury tax that is charged on Lakers
I guess this dream roster can only happen in Lakers
The rich club
For sure if they fail to get back to the peak regain the NBA title
this massive investment of LAkers is considered a failure

Whatever so
I think Kobe must be so grateful towards Lakers
for giving him a last boost to the peak in his career

talking bout title
there is some else in the team is more concerned about it
Nash who is still pursuing his first ring

when he leaves Sun there is no boos from the home town fans
because he has gave his best to the city and
all of us think know that He should go for his ring

I have a time of my life

I have a time of my life to do whatever I want
I shall not be too greedy
not just looking at the good side of others
and feel jealous
not to wish for everything
not to live how people expect me to
merely follow my heart
an easier life is always a happier life

"The Pursuit of Happyness"

This is a very touching, motivating and inspiring movie

The father, Christ has a hardest time in his life
Homeless, unpaid taxes and even parking
His wife has chosen to leave him

Despite all these miseries
Still he is steadfast to his belief
He is not defeated by all he has been through
He never changes his affection to his beloved son

Just like most stories
He got through all these
And finally 
He finds the happiness in his life

I have to be grateful
For my life is not pre-arranged by fate, as his
I have a better environment
The obstacles in my life may not be as torturing as his

But his spirit
His spirit should be my role model
I shall face them with a same attitude
same perseverance 

It deserves my respect, it is based on a true story of Christ Gardner
