来た！ The album of Angela Aki

来た！Angela Aki のアルバム.....

I'm often listening to her old songs, "手紙" and "Kiss me goodbye"

When i was watching the NHK TV special program "宇宙の渚"

literally means "the shore of the universe" 

Angela Aki's new song "One Family" was the theme song of the program

A camera, specially developed by NHK, was brought to the International Space Station

Carried around by Japanese Astronaut 古川聡さん

The beautiful live videos of our beloved planet were shared together with the world

It was a very touching moment where we feel for the place we are living

Plan Execution

Autumn is getting close. 

almost 11 months staying in Japan

if u ask me how i feel

my answer is "great"...

no place is better then here for gaining knowledge

i don't do many travels, i don't search for delicious local foods to eat

yet everyday i'm happy searching for knowledge here

in the bookstores, internet, 100yen shops

coz i've learned in university, that we can't stop learning

time is gold

u'll never know how valuable it is if u just let it be

i'm occupied here with the books i want, surrounded by the knowledge i need

all i need to do, all we need to do, is just open my eye, our eyes, and look at it

is just that simple, we have the decision to make

everything is depended on ourselves

whether we do it, or we don't

if we do, let's keep going!

And i'm keeping myself going too! 2 are not enough! i need more LOTTE chocolate! going to buy again tomorrow.... lol

目標。。。Target

First of all, congrats to my university, Universiti Malaya (UM) for listed at no. 167 at the latest world universities ranking published last week. although at 167, it's not a great achievement compare to other universities throughout the world, but i still like it. Having graduated last year, not able to continue making contributions to the university anymore. Hope it will continue to shine, i'll always support the university. Recently surrounded by controversy of the resignation of university staffs. From what i read in the newspaper, the reason was "chances of staffs promotion" became more difficult since the introduction of the new system. In my opinion, if a lecturer/professor have such an opinion in an educational world, he should not continue to be in UM, he should quit immediately, he has no more business here, he will only become a trouble to the university. I always support the policy of Vice chancellor, Prof Ghauth Jasmon. He is the one who can make sure the university becomes a force in the making of a developed country in years to come.

But not in a university doesn't mean i cannot continue to learn. I'm learning too, the difference is, in a different language! But oh i really really love this new language that i've learned. The language has what i couldn't find in the whole Malaysia, the bookstore here are full of wonders. A simple example such as below....

Here is a magazine for Camera building. It teaches you how to make a camera from nothing. The contents is simple, easy to read and useful for beginner. And there are much more other than this... I'm very glad that i've chances to access to a knowledgeable society like this. By learning this new language, it's wonderful.

Also for foreigner, these are the books that have become my night time supper.

And of course, this one too!

I'll feel sorry to myself if i do not read them. There are so much books here that i can buy. Normally i do not spend much of my salary on foods and travels, i spend on books and sports. Although i still cannot understand every words in them, but i will, that's target.

One more, a wonderful place, with hundreds of running events across the country every year, hundred of full marathon events, what a healthy lifestyle. I'm going to participate in a few.... I'll feel sorry to myself too if i come to Japan and do not participate in Marathon. =D
