Deafs, Choose Your Career Wisely!  

Posted by Ezequiel Leversee

Back to Chinese New Year period, I visited one of my former teachers and I was told that many deafs had often made complaint to school for being unable to get work and asked school to help them out. The teachers were rather annoyed with their pessimistic and negative attitude. They rather expect the deafs to be more independent on their own when they are no more staying in school life.

If you can't meet the field that make you like it yet, why not going to college or university? It at least, will help you to discover what your likeness or fondness hidden within your heart. It will also help you to make up and confirm with your real objection and start your adventure in commercial world. Don't afraid, it's not embarrassing to continue studies after school life. It just help to widen your knowledge and to improve your interactive with commercial world.

If you have meet your likeness on certain field but the environment in work place don't suit you, try to learn adapt yourself with the environment. The deafs always has unique ability, which is able to adapt themselves in everywhere when they are making new friend. Commit yourself to your work place for 2 - 3 years then you can change to other company. DON'T even resign immediately after you've just started working in one place.

If you come back to school and seek help from after a period you being unable to find job, it's REALLY embarrassing because you can't prove you are really independent. The school's responsibility is only educate and teach you, not become your search engine. Finding job got many ways. Going to company to apply... Searching job on Internet... Finding the available vacancy from advertisement on the newspaper.

If you think the low - life job such as cleaner, car polisher is insulting and embarrassing, please throw your negative attitude away and be an optimistic person. Every job is really clean and considered "HALAL". Finding or hunting for a job is NOT a crime at all. I admit, drug trafficker is really a dead sinful crime. But no one asked you to try this, right? Just find the appropriated job that suit with your likeness.

For the deafs who are jobless or unemployed or needed a job, you can try searching in this website following :

Heed my advice!! Thanks a lot!

Earth Day  

Posted by Anonymous

Happy Earth Day to you!!! ^_^

HISTORY OF 22ND APRIL EARTH DAY



In September 1969 before it become the official Earth Day, U.S Senator Gaylord Nelson, a man who is concerned about the environmental issue and crisis, invited people into participating in a national service; the nationwide grassroots demonstration on behalf of the environment. He proposed this nationwide environmental protest onto the national agenda.

Oh yeah, it did worked and successfully grabbed the attention of the Americans. The story has carried and spread from coast to coast. Beyond expection, the responses were like a thundershock, which telegrams, letters and telephone calls keep flooding and flooding in the U.S Senate office. And then the American finally set a forum up to express their concern about what had been happening to the lands, rivers, lakes, seas and air.

Because of the massive numbers of responses to widespread environment degradation, Senator Gaylord was summoned for an environment teach-in on 22nd April 1970. Over 200 million people participated that year and so then Earth Day was officially established. Now Earth Day is observed each year by more than 500 million people and national governments in 175 countries.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the celebration of Earth Day, I was really happy as the people still remember the Earth Day and greet others Happy Earth Day. But , I'm somehow a bit unhappy as people nowadays never show the appreciation to the grassroots level. As you know, our beloved island, the climate in Penang is getting hotter and hotter... for real you know! Truly crazy >_<

My friends who are used to stay in Penang or once been Penangites before, came here for a few days but complaint to me that Penang nowadays are terribly hot and they need 5 - 6 sheets to wipe off the sweats. During their stays, they ventured somewhere in Penang and noticed that mostly of areas has been deforested and cleared for development plan. They described Penang as the "concrete jungle" due to this reason.

I couldn't say they are wrong and I really have admitted that they are truly right. I still remember back the time where I was a little kid. Usually after the school, my mum'd fetch me home which is located in Jelutong. Ahh, quite far from Tanjung Bungah. @_@ On the way to home, I would enjoy seeing the tall trees along the road. Somemore, when getting through hillside road, there were many tall and big trees standing to shelter the road and the sky was barely to be seen.

But now? As you can see, many areas have been cleared and deforested for housing or development plan projects. Everywhere on the road is being exposed to the glaring sunlight. It's really a pain in our eyes when staring at the sky! >_<>

April Fool's Day  

Posted by Anonymous

"When my colleague advised me not to believe every word anyone speaks tomorrow, I was suddenly being reminded of April Fool's Day during my childhood time.. =D It was really very funny and gave my belly a pain for laughing a bit longer period."

It was which the day I was in Form Two... Ermm, during recess break on April pf 1st, 1998, I was chatting with my classmate, Nizam and suddenly saw another one of my classmate, Su Yin come out from somewhere and stood outside the class, eating something. I told Nizam my decision to deceive her but Nizam however really protested against my decision.

So I went near Su Yin and informed her that "Guru Penolong Kanan HEM (Hal Ehwal Manusia)" wanna to see her in his office. Once then, she became terrified as she didn't know what crime she committed. I took advantages by comforting her and told her not to get worried so much and just see what he wanted. She really listened and followed my words I spoke and then she went to the office.

Soon, at least no more than 10 minutes, she came back with a reddened face. At the same time, Nizam and I began laughing how naive and stupid she was!!! How easy she got deceived by this silly small trick!

Hurrmmm, I kinda miss that moment where I really enjoyed and played fool around friends. Wanna go back to the old times liao!


THE ORIGIN OF APRIL FOOL'S DAY

Most of people don't know the real origin of April Fool's Day this as the result, it still remain clouded in insignificance. Basically no one knows exactly where, when, why or how the celebration began.

What we do know about the April Fool's Day is that references to "All Fool's Day", is what April Fool's Day was firstly called. It began in Europe during the late Middle Ages. It was known as a folk celebration and elite participation in its minimal. So it explained why it's so difficult to track the exact origin of the day as the people celebrating it back then were not really the kind of people who would write or record down what they did.

Europe is believed to have derived its "April-Fooling" from the French. French and Dutch's references from 1508 and 1539 respectively describe April Fool's Day jokes and the custom of making them on the first of April. France was one of the first nations to make January 1st officially New Year's Day, by decree of Charles IX. This was in 1564, even before the 1582 the Gregorian calendar has adopted. Thus the New Year's gifts and visits of felicitation which had been the feeature of the April 1st became associated with the first day of January, and those who disliked or did not hear about the change were fair game for those wits who amused themselves by sending mock presents and paying calls of pretended ceremony on April 1st.

In France, the person who was fooled would be called as poisson d'avril (April Fish). This has been explained as arising from the fact that in April the sun quits the zodiac sign of the fish. The French traditionally celebrated this holiday by placing dead fish on the backs of friends. Today, real fish have been replaced with sticky fish- shaped paper cutouts that children always try to sneak onto the back of their friends' shirts. Candy shops and bakeries also offer fish-shaped man-made sweets or cookies for the day.

Some Dutch also celebrate the April 1st for other reasons. In 1572, the Netherlands were ruled by Spain's King Philip II. Roaming the region where Dutch rebels who called themselves Geuzen, after the French "gueux' meaning beggars. The Geuzen seized the small coastal town of DenBriel. This event was also the start of the general civil rising against the Spanish in other cities in the Netherlands. The Duke of Alba, commander of the Spanish army could not prevent the uprising. Bril is the Dutch word for glasses, so "Albra lost his glasses." The Dutch commemorate this as humor.

Attention: My friend, you may fool people but please bear yourself in mind to play safe and fair always. Don't ever do anything harmful to people.
