.. to read the news these days..
Flip open the papers and ALL you read about is the recent war-of-mouth among the respected leaders of the country. This, I believe, is NOT what we would like to read about especially now that we have just started sailing smoothly after the transition of powers. Those who should keep quiet continued to talk. Those who should keep talking continued to keep quiet *sigh*
Hop around the blogosphere and ALL you read about is the recent hoo-haa over which city is rude and which is not. It is sooo ironic that we, Malaysians, are being told off by somebody who uses the toilets for the disabled AND claimed that nothing was wrong with that. Enough is enough. Dissecting each of her sentences won’t do us any good. Might as well send more postcards *winks*
Switch on the TV and you hear about how parents would love to choose their baby’s gender. I was like, “Hello?! Why are we going against nature?!” What is wrong with the society these days? What is wrong with the adults that they would go to great lengths to choose the gender of their babies? When will they learn to love their offsprings regardless of whether they are boys, girls, healthy or not?! Thank God (and the government) that the bill to ban the selection of the babies’ gender is approved and is being drafted. Otherwise 20 years later we will find that we have more boys than girls, and more rape cases. By then, it would be too late..
I received this pretty rainbow card from Noora, a 29-year-old Finnish mother to two boys and a girl.
Aila, who is ALSO from Finland, sent me a card which shows a man throwing something into the rubbish bin, in a very creative way.
Mari, also from Finland, sent me this pretty card which shows Finland’s capital city, Helsinki, by night.
Isn’t it simply awesome?! 
Nothing much happened in the past few days, which explains the lack of real blog posts, as opposed to merely showing off some of the postcards I have recently received.
Oh, no. That wasn’t the complete truth.
I have been Postcrossing. Yeah, I have been writing postcards to strangers and to my utter surprise, I even met my sifu in the Postcrossing forum! The same sifu who was initially “against” tagging other postcrossers because according to her, it will “spoil the surprise” :)) But I guess she could not resist the temptation and did not want to lose out to me so she started tagging other postcrossers..
I have also been working on the new feeding experiment on the terrapin hatchlings. This time around, I am trying out a bag of turtle feed sponsored by Aquaria KLCC. Apparently, they bought the feed by bulk from the States, so they gave us a bag to try out and hopefully some statistically-significant information may be derived from the experiment. Otherwise I would have wasted my time.
I think I haven’t mentioned about the new faculty in KUSTEM, which brings the total to 4 faculties now. Not bad, for an institution that started off as a Marine Science branch of a “prestigious” local university. Anyway, the new faculty is named the “Faculty of Maritime Studies and Marine Science” - the ONLY faculty which consists of students from both the Science and Arts streams *scratches head* So I was shown a list of the total number of students offered to KUSTEM, according to the respective courses, but I could not be bothered about the other courses so I just scrolled down to Marine Biology. Apparently, a total of 81 offer letters had been sent out, 33 to males and 48 to females, so we shall see how many of them turn up on July 2nd.
And see.. I am running out of things to write about..
The weather in Kuala Terengganu has been pretty unpredictable lately. Is the same thing happening at YOUR place?
