Save some!

Okay. Sebenarnya tajuk post takde kaitan dengan apa yang aku nak tulis ni.
So, aku baru je baca Terfaktab Zine pasal Move On. Oh, hell. Aku tak pernah kata dan takkan pernah kata Move On tu perkara yang senang. Memang tak senang dan sangat susah.
Maybe for some people, diorang punya life macam jatuh lah. Contohnya, grade diorang, communication diorang dengan orang sekeliling dan yang lain-lain.

Buat diri aku sendiri, aku akan lebihkan komunikasi dengan orang supaya aku takkan asyik duduk kat ceruk rumah dan teringat pasal si dia. So, bila aku bergaul dengan orang, sedikit sebanyak kesakitan tu akan terurai sikit-sikit. Nangis tu kau tak payah cakap lah sakitnya. Allah je yang tahu.
Aku pernah dua kali break dan tak menangis. For certain reasons lah. Aku tak rasa nak menangis langsung. Agak kejam but hey, aku tak rasa sedih pun. Shitz.

And this first time aku nangis pasal lelaki, aku pun ingat aku punya result exam midterm, final and quizzes semua tu akan jatuh. Hah! Ternyata sangkaan aku meleset. Result aku tetap nak tunjuk kat aku yang diorang tanak down macam aku jugak. Pergh pergh. Korang nak kata aku bangga diri ah? Weh, tak weh. Tak. Kadang-kadang bila kau rasa paling down, down yang paling down, kau nak jugak orang sekeliling kau perasan keadaan kau menerusi grade kau. Tapi, kalau dah grade kau okay, means kau okay jugak lah kan?
Or actually aku taknak parents aku risau pasal aku.
So, aku bersyukur yang grade aku tak tereffect dengan keadaan aku yang terumbang-ambing ni. Alhamdulillah.

Korang, sama-samalah kita jaga grade kita! Bila korang sedih je, terus grab buku!

p/s : Aku masih ngantuk. Melantak satu burger dan satu bungkus Maggi Asam Laksa (pengaruh Istanbul Aku Datang) untuk sarapan pagi ni! Wuu!

Dia & Aku Kata

Dia & Aku Kata 

Sayang betul dia kat aku.
Aku buat salah teruk, dia menangis satu
malam.
Dan kemudian esok pagi, dia jumpa aku, dia
tersenyum.
Kesalahan aku memang tak layak untuk
terima senyuman itu.

Apakah memang ada manusia yang murni
macam ni?

Dia nak marah, tapi dia nak ketawa.
Dia nak pukul, tapi dia nak ketawa lagi.
Dia nak tunjal kepala aku, tapi dia takut 
kepala aku sakit.
Dia nak lepaskan kemarahan dia, tapi dia
takut aku terasa.
Dia nak merajuk, tapi dia nak berbual 
dengan aku.
Dia nak paling muka, tapi dia nak tengok
muka aku.
Dia nak maafkan aku, sebab dia nak terus
sayang aku.

Dia kata aku bodoh, aku kata, memang.
Dia kata aku tak fikir, aku kata tu lar pasal.
Dia kata aku tak guna otak, aku kata itu
betul.
Dia kata aku bangang, aku kata paling 
bangang.
Dia kata aku jahat, aku kata takda niat.
Dia kata aku takut bila buat salah, aku kata
takut gila.
Dia kata dah agak dah, aku kagum dengan 
firasat dia.

Dia dah tak tahu nak kata apa, aku kata,
jangan kata apa, pukul je.
Dia dah tak nak pukul, aku kata maaf.
Dia tanya dah makan? Aku
kata nak makan sama.
Dia kata jom.
Aku kata dalam hati ...
"Tuhan, kalau betul dia jodoh,
biar aku lawan untuk jodoh 
ini!"

TV Series : Homo Academicus

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning everyone.

Happy Sunday! Here in my place, the sun is not that bright this morning. Probably feeling a bit shy today. 

I want to express an opinion or some sort of review regarding the TV series - Homo Academicus.

Homo Academicus is a tv series made by KBS (Astro Channel 391). The hosts of this show are 4 Harvard University students. The last time I watched it, they were visiting almost all over the world to identify studying method by Korean, Japanese, Indians, Jewish students. 

It is to be said that culture plays a big influence on the students' way of studying. The Korean prefer to study on their own; individually as they say that they will have a higher focus on what they're studying when they are alone. In most Eastern country, STUDYING = MEMORIZING.

The Japanese who mostly entered the University of Tokyo, they bought the seniors notes. They say that the notes contain more information compare to textbooks. A good notes help the Japanese memorize the information structurally. Note-taking is the yardstick of good learning. So, from primary school, the Japanese students are taught how to make effective notes in order for easy memorizing. In order to identify the students' ability, they will see how she or he take notes.

Ugandans are more passionate about learning compare to other Africans. All the students went to school with this some kind of truck. 

30% of Harvard students are Jewish; which is about 20,000 people. Approximately. They are discussing more on Jewish people and Jewish culture. 

Students of Yeshiva used debate to convey information. They claim that they will understand more. Besides, they are learning certain topics by debating. They're having debates with other students that they barely know.  When they are debating with the person they don't know about Talmud, fallacy like Personal Attack can be avoided.

While in GyeongNam, they focus more on learning Confucianism. In order for fast memorizing, they will recite the sayings loud and clear. Plus, they will listen to each other's voice reciting the sayings. 

In some part of India, they are learning the Vedas and the Brahmins. They recommend that the best way to memorize is writing the same line for 20 to 40 times! Wow!

Meanwhile in a Jewish Kindergarten located in New York. The kids over there are taught by asking them to read and encourage them to ask questions. In return, the teachers will answer their question by asking them another question so that they could relate the information given. This is to ensure that the children not only learn the content of Jewish culture, they would also understand the value of Jewish culture. Talking and discussing back with other people about the information is one of the method.

In conclusion, there are so many factors that can lead to intelligence. Main one is culture factors :)Learning is the culture's deep-rooted way of life :)
