Revealing unpleasent sight

It was a lovely afternoon when my roommate was enjoying the breeze in the balcony. Suddenly he smelt something. To his surprise, he saw a guy holding a lighted cigarrete above him in another balcony.

"What are you looking at? Strange? I'm not going to die because of this lah!"

It is quite an unexpected as well as unpleasant sight to me, considering the fact he is a JPA scholar, the educated one who is going to traverse into medical field, and has the responsibility to advise people to stop smoking. However he is not the only person practising something ironic and contradicting to his prospect in my present college. They are a lot including seniors. Moreover, it has been stated smoking inside the college compound is prohibited and penalty of RM100 would be charged towards violator. Well, I haven't come across any news that any kind of penalty had been charged on them since I was here six months ago. The guards ignore that too, so do some lecturers and wardens. I can't tolerate indifference shown by the administrators. Honestly I have no prejudice towards smokers, but in my point of view, smokers are not qualified to contribute himself in health care related career seriously. Even if they are, don't you think that their patients would surely doubt their credibility in diagnosing ailments or prescribing medicine?

Put this aside, I would like to share another thing that was annoying. It happened for days continuously in the last month. When I was in my mood of revising and there came a deafening bang inside the hostel. Apparently someone was trying to get into our nerves by lighting firecrackers. My instinct told me that was another immatured scholar, but I could never identify the nuisance maker. In my previous secondary school, if you tried to challenge the school rules by having such explosives, you would be expelled without any tolerance or consideration.

Please return me the serenity of my lovely tiny college :(

Swooned

I'm swooned by the actress. It has been years since I last sketched someone's portrait.

Stop!

This is something I concern but hasn't been shared in my blog. As an average Internet user, I'm sure you would have come across all kinds of forwarded emails from your friends including love stories, friendship interactive pieces, news, something hilarious such as links of videos and photos, or chain letter the cynical hoax and others.

Yesterday there came an email titled "Stop the killing of seals!" with some bloody photos attached and condemnation in response to human's cruelty towards the innocent, defenseless animals. I did receive the email of the same theme several weeks ago, with title "Stop whaling!".

Even if you are not a biology student, you are having no problem to figure out the similarity that whales and seals share. Yes they are endangered, going to be categorised as extinct animals soon. Personally I support what some humanitarian organisations are currently in their endless attempt to eradicate barbarism, urging the leaders of the world to show concern and response.

But ironically most of us are consumers in term of feeding. Not all of us are vegetarians. I had just found out actually there are more chickens than human population in the world. We don't take the slaughtered chickens, fishes or whatever belong to livestock as example because they are numerous and hardly to go extinct. If you are patient enough to reach this sentence, I hope you have got the point I'm going to raise. What is the difference of human cruelty despite the fact above? What defines cruel? Does the image of whaling overlap your sight when you visited market places, watching how the fishes got their head off?

If possibly chicken is on the verge to extinct, email titled "Stop slaughtering chicken!" would probably be spreading throughout the world.
