I’m feeling so miserable!! And why not? Shah Rukh Khan is coming to Malaysia. That also to one of my favorite street and I can’t even meet him, what more to act in his movie (the producer is searching for 1000 sides)!! ARGH!! The reason? Im having 5 quizzes in the next 2 weeks and datelines for reports and assignment are approaching and finals are just around the corner!! Wuhuhu!! I want to go and see him!! My first love! My first crush! The first guy I’ve ever set my eyes on! The guy who could easily melt me whenever I look at him although it has been 12 yrs since i first saw him!!He is coming to Malaysia and is within reach, and here I am, not being able to meet him, to see him in close distance, and most importantly not being able to look into his lovely dowey, gorgeous, brown beautiful stunning eyes!! ARGH!!! How much more depressing one could possibly get?

tHe mYsTeRy oF mOnA LisA's SmiLe..

Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa (La Gioconda)

Ever wondered why from time to time she is smiling and at other times she isn’t? Well..Try doing this;
Look at her eyes. What do you see? A beautiful mesmerizing smile. Then again, look at her but this time at her mouth. And what do you see? Smile fades.

Based on a research done by a Harvard neuroscientist, Dr. Margaret Livingstone on Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile, she claims that the’ human eyes are able to see two distinct region. One is the central area (fovea) where people see colors, read fine print, pick out details while the second is the peripheral area, surrounding the fovea, where people see black and white, motion and shadows.’

So when we are looking at her face, the first thing we will observe is the eyes. Our eyes are in the position where everything besides her eyes are in the ‘shadow’ (peripheral) area. As a result, the smile we see appear to be a wide smile as we are actually including her cheekbones as the image of her smile. But when you look at her mouth, you will realize she smile isn’t that broad after all!!

Well..Dont think that the mystery of Mona Lisa’s smile has been solved. Another mystery has arisen from this explanation. And that is, did Leonardo Da Vinci draw this painting without looking at her mouth to create this kind of effect? And if yes, then how??

'The last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci'
1;
Sophie; the last supper is the painting of thirteen men
Teabing: is it? Take a closer look.
Sophie; (confirmed) they are all men
Teabing: oh? How about the one seated in the place of honor, at the right hand of lord?
Sophie examines the figure.
Sophie; that’s a woman!!

The woman claimed by the author of the book is Mary Magdalene.

2;
Teabing; where is Jesus sitting?
Sophie; in the center
Teabing: Good. And what food are He and His disciplines eating?
Sophie; bread
Teabing; superb! And what drink?
Sophie: wine. They drank wine
Teabing; great! And one final question. How many wine glasses are there on the table?
Sophie paused, realizing it was a trick question. ~And after dinner, Jesus took the cup of wine, sharing it with his disciplines.~
Sophie; one cup! Jesus passed a single chalice of wine, just as modern Christians do at communion
Teabing; look again..

There are thirteen glasses on the table.

Why do you let these tears?
Run down my face
All the pain in my heart
Is always making me weak
Our hearts used to beat together
And every moment was full of magic
When I was with you baby
As much as I pray for you back
You keep on walking away
Never even wanting to look back
Now I lay down alone every night
And remember how we used to love each other
And how everyday ended with that beautiful kiss
That only true lovers share
I wasn’t ready to lose you this soon
I don't know how to let go of you
It was your love that made me smile
And you who made everyday a dream come true
Now that those days are gone
I try and find ways to forget the sadness I feel
But without you everything is so hard
I only want to tell you how much I love you
And not say goodbye to the only one for me.

Argh!! Im just so bored!! I should be studying and yet.. here I am.. writing in a post for this blog, listening to hits fm after so long. It surely has lots of add.. ok im not goin to go on about ads. But one thing ive realized is that mostly the ads in hits fm is concerning bad influence in Malaysians. Teenagers especially. Things like taking drugs, smoking and also buying pirated cds (is that bad??) and in the ads obviously they are trying to stop people getting influence and things like that. thats a noble thing to do (keep up hits FM) But the best thing is guest what are they comparing it to? FOOD!! Now that is really not surprising at all actually!! Comparing the high we get eating nasi lemak which is better than high on drugs, and also wanting to open a ‘char kuey teow’ shop if no one buys his cd is undoubtedly a good way to change people in Malaysia. After all Malaysians are known as food lovers!! This is certainly a food paradise..imagine nasi lemak and mee curry and roti canai and all the other delicious food..nyam..nyam.. now who would want to have something else if u get all this? I am also one of them.. Food!! is really one of the things I love in Malaysia. That’s y I cant live outside of the country for more then 2 weeks.. I still remember when I went to Perth 2 years ago.. i was so homesick that I went searching for mee curry after just 2 weeks!! I did finally find it and it seriously did made me feel at home again (although it tasted bad and I paid a ‘bomb’ for it) So you see.. Food is really something powerful.. It has the power to stop drug addicts, to stop people from migrating and also one of the best businesses in Malaysia!! So don underestimate it as just a energy source!!

The one and only place that I badly want to visit is Cairo. I don’t know why, but I really want to visit the Great Pyramid of Giza. It has always been one of my favorite wonder of the world besides the Great Wall of China. At one point of time I wanted to be an archeologist just to go and discover this place by myself. Just because I felt in love wit it. Of course apart from being the only surviving ancient wonder of the world, its unique structure has always made me interested in it. Some must be wondering what is so great about a triangle in the center of one of the driest and hottest place in the world. Well.. You’ll be surprised!! It’s not just an ordinary triangle. It was once the tallest structure ever made until the 19th centuries, and it was build around 3350 B.C. so just imagine!! It has been the tallest building for the past 47 centuries!!. It’s 145.75m tall (but has lost 10m over the years) and was made of 2 million blocks of stone with each weighing 2000 kg by 100’000 slaves for over 20 years. Some of the archeologist claims that if pyramid was broken, the bricks from it could be made into a 3m tall and 0.3m thick wall around France!! Now isn’t that interesting??
I mean how could people centuries ago carry bricks weighing 2 ton up to 147m? And that too without any equipments? Isn’t that impossible for us in this modern world?. So how did they carry it? Moreover cutting it and placing it in such a way that there is only error of 5 cm in all four faces!! Wow! In addition to that, The 4 faces of pyramid are also placed in such position that it is facing north (cold), south (heat), east (light) and west (dark). Now how were they able to position it so accurately? That too without a compass? Hmm.. now that’s a wonder.. It seems the ‘weather man’ at that time used the pyramid to make out what time and what season was it by looking at the reflection of light through the shining limestone used to build the pyramids.
Now who ever came up with the idea of doing this great historical structure of the world? Well.. It was made by the fourth dynasty Egyptian king Khufu. It was suppose to be built as a tomb for him (don’t ask me why that big). Unfortunately there is no evidence proving that the king was buried there. However, some archeologist did set foot in it and discovered that the pyramid might have been used once as a palace!! They found 3 big ‘rooms’ in the pyramid. The queen’s room, the grand room and the king’s room with the queen’s room being on the lowest floor followed by the grand room in the middle and the king’s room at the highest peak. Due to this, some doesn’t believe that the king being buried there because the Egyptian believes when one dies, the body should be in the earth and the spirit in the air. Therefore the king might not be buried there or might have been but not in his room (coz it’s on the top floor) but in the ground. No one could ever figure that out.. At least not until someone digs up the pyramid to find out the truth.. Hope no one does that.. at least not until I see it!! and eventhen..hope no one is stupid and greedy enough to break it!! its worth more than all the jewelry hidden under the pyramid. (kings usually are buried with all their jewelry when they are buried. And im certainly sure king Khufu was very -very rich man)

AdVeRtIseMeNts..

By Nisha
Every now and then I wonder if advertisements are actually beneficial or not to the consumers. No doubt it has informed lots of consumers about new products and the usage of it. But at the same time I feel like as though advertisement is no longer a place to provide information. It has been misused and indirectly it has change public’s perception on how things work. Few decades back I don’t think people ever did care about body weight or skin colour,having firm skin or even the paint colour of the wall. For them being healthy and living in a house that was comfortable to be called home was more than enough.

But in this generation, the people’s point of view has changed. Naturally it has changed mine too. And why not? The main medias in the nation have influence us so much that now days the only things we care about is having all the new equipments that are ‘hot’ in the market now, being slim, having nice beautiful fair skin, having nice big houses in ‘classy’ area, new expensive clothes and the list goes on.. The media has really influence the people around that the public can’t even think for their own good. What’s wrong by being fat? What’s wrong by having brown Asian skin? whats wrong with aging skin? Whoever said that by using a certain gel to get a certain 'spiky' hair would attract the prettiest girl on the street?.or using a certain perfume will end u up to a nice romantic candle light dinner? Do we really need to buy expensive big diamond set to win a girl's heart?Why cant we be ourselves? Why must we be shy with whoever we are? Isn't that the way we were set to be? Then why is it that everyone should change to be the same? Why must everyone have the same skin colour and the same body figure or even same hair style??!! Whatever happened to variation? Whatever happened to being natural?

I know we will never be able to stop the media from influencing people, but I do really hope people will stop getting influenced and start thinking. Even if you can’t help yourself, then at least don’t discriminate others who do so. Never look down on people who are modest in life, And certainly not at all to outcast those who are fat and dark. Because no matter what, (like what my lecturer once said) ‘Black is Beautiful, and Fat is Sexy’

Just A few days ago i went through my old soundtracks and found one of my fav song when i was a kid..i know its kindda childish but this song really was one of my favorite and i used to believe this song so much that 'dreaming' was the only thing i did at that point of time..(not that i don do it now)..but somewhere in between i stopped believing the song and finally have forgotten tht the song even existed till last week when i bought the movie.. the chorus is the main part and well.. here it goes..

A dream is a wish your heart makes..
 When you are fast asleep..
 In dreams u lose your heartaches..
Whatever you wish for, u keep.
Have faith in ur dreams, and someday
Your rainbrow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving, If u keep on believing...
The dream that you wish will come true..
And right now..ill start dreaming again..who knows someday the dream might just come true.. (if whatever Cinderella sang is true)..mayb one day my fairy godmother will hand me whatever i want..I wish..

p/s~ don get xtra excited..its nothing to do with prince charming..its something much more important..

Sitting down in the chemistry lab made me wonder what the hell was i doing there. Its not like i've entered the wrong class or something..its more like the wrong course!!isn't this what ive always wanted? isn't this what ive dreamt all my life? then why the hell am i so unhappy? why am i so confused??
Ever since i was a kid ive always wanted to b in a proffession than involves helping ppl. obviously at tht point of time pharmacy wasnt my priority. medicine was more like it. I tried my best to get into medic school and when the time came for me to decide, i backed out. All of the sudden i felt like being a pharmacist as it has better future here in Malaysia. And so..here i am!!
But at this point of time, i seriously feel like ive made a wrong decission. Is this proffession really for me? Is this 8-5 job really suitable for me? Because of this proffession for over the past 3 semesters ive sacrificed so many things in life. Quality time with family, my beauty sleep, money, time and not forgeting..how to socialize!!Is it really worth it?
Sometimes i wonder why did i even chose this profession at the first place. is it really to help people? or is it for the fame and money? i never could figure tht out..at least not until now.. well..i guess thts life..ive choosed this path..i guess i just have to go with it..some how im sure there is something really worth the pain and time waiting for me at the end of the journey..i really do hope so..

hInDi mOvIe in Coll..

By Nisha
When it comes to Hindi movies, im the best in it..it has affected me in so many ways tht i've begin to imagine things in my daily life..below are the few scenes ive imagined with nads around in coll;

Sitting in the cafe.. while waiting for nad's mom; Was having a cup of coffee when this whole scene came into my mind..(all because of the stupid prom music that has been played every min in the lobby)..

(the music starts wit a very sorrowfull tune) the girl comes running into the lobby searching for her true love and when she sees him (the music stops a while). both starring at each other (not believing they've finally found ach other).. they slow motionly runs into each other's arms (music starts again as though happy ending). Then suddenlly the villian comes with a long 'parang' (scarry fighting starwars music starts). (god knows from where the boy gets one too)..both starts fighting for about few mins..the boy gets lots of wounds but doesnt collapse and finally.. (when the music reaches it's peak), the boy gets to poke the villian once with the parang..and he dies..( back to slow soothing romantic music).the guy looks deeply into the girl's brown lovely eyes, makes a long eye contact (which seems to be like forever), he carries both his arms, indicating the girl to hug him and finally, the girl runs into the boy's embrace..and they live happily ever after..
character:
boy: Shah RuKh Khan
 girl: Me!! :-))
 villian: John Abraham (i wouldnt mind if 2 of the most goodlooking guys in bollywood were fighting for me :-)) wish had a place to fit abhishek in the script as well!!)

In the Library, getting bored and saw the scary old nonya with the thick round 70's looking spects;

Both of us looking (staring) at the notes..literary crying over biotechnology notes..and suddenly i stood up and start humming..the music starts and my fren n i started running around the table singing..the whole library looked at us (all smiling but the nonya fuming) and in the next scene the whole library dances the exact same steps as us.. (the nonya trying to stop everyone but doesnt succeed) and at the end of the scene, all the books in the rack are all scatered around and when everyone stops coz scared of aunty's gaze, she ends the song with a nice long ending just like other hindi movies ( when the mother sings) ..and the whole library sings and dances again (fast beat) and this time...the nonya is in..


hmm..just imagine if life could b just like a hindi movie..so colourfull, lively, impossible and yet entertaining.. :-0
