oppa gangnam style

have you seen gangnam style video clip? Actually, the music video shows PSY dancing a comical horse-riding dance and appearing in unexpected locations such as an outdoor yoga session and hot tub. The music video depicts Psy dancing at various locations in Gangnam. The song's theme is about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild. In Korean colloquialism, (Oppan Gangnam style)" may be translated as "I am (loving) the Gangnam style." or literally translated as "I am Gangnam style." or "A Gangnam-styled girl is my style." because the Korean word (oppa), which is a noun meaning "a female's elder brother" but can be also used as a first-, second- or third-person masculine pronoun to designate a male who is elder or older than a female, is used as a first-person pronoun in this phrase and  (oppan) is an abbreviation of (oppaneun) which is translated as "I am" when  (oppa) is used as a first-person pronoun.

World Hunger: A Global Phenomenon

A picture speaks a thousand words. Take a look at the picture above? What do you think? Is it true? Well, it is definitely something to be pondered upon by each and everyone of us. The picture has something to do with what I'm going to talk about. World hunger and famine. 

Do you guys know what famine is? Basically it means, scarcity of food or a situation where there is not enough food for people to eat. Nearly every continent in the world has experienced a period of famine throughout history. Many countries continue to have extreme cases of famine. Millions die every year due to starvation. Most of famine cases nowadays happen in the African continent such as Somalia, Niger, Ethiopia and Kenya. The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving. While you're sitting on your couch devouring pizzas and ice cream, at least 200 people is dying from starvation. These statistics are alarming. In this day and age, the 21st century, no one should be hungry or die from starvation. We should be grateful of living in Malaysia, because not a day has gone by in our lives with an empty stomach. Have you ever thrown away your food because you were not able to finish them? Or have you ever complained that your food is not delicious enough? Well, there are others, millions of them who would kill just for a piece of bread. So, think again before you throw away or complain about your food.

Now, let's get back to business. So, what are our social responsibility as human beings to help ease and hopefully end the world hunger? The simplest way is to donate. Find an association, a cause or a mission to help reduce world hunger, such as the World Hunger Relief Malaysia, a campaign by KFC and Pizza Hut. All funds raised are donated to the United Nations World Food Program. Easy, right? You can eat and donate at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. We can also use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to spread the facts about world hunger and what they can do to help. There are also some games and quizzes online where you can play and donate at the same time. As for the Muslim, we fast every year for a month to help us better understand what some people in other parts of the world are going through, which hopefully will make us more grateful and willing to help those in need. 

So, I hope you'll find this post informative and starts to take some action. That's all from me, folks. See you in the next post! Cheerio~

happy merdeka raya !!!

assalamualaikum and hye everyone!!

I know it's almost too late but i'd like to wish all Muslim and Malaysians a HAPPY EID MUBARAK and HAPPY 55th INDEPENDENT DAY!!

well, for this entry im not going to tell much about how i celebrated eid mubarak because its not included in my assignment to tell about that.hahhaaa^^,,let's proceed to the independent day,. i'm sure each and everyone of us are proud of that very amazing day, 31 august 1957 , that day was the very reason why we are here today, under one beautiful flag. this year i celebrate merdeka day with full of spirit because we are 55 year of independent. its actually 5century!! thats a long time. on the day of 31 august i went to the dataran merdeka to celebrate merdeka day with others malaysian. at the dataran merdeka , i watched the marching army and parade. it was a very exciting day for me. my family were also in the festive mood. they put on the jalur gemilang on our car and in front of our house. it was just one of the ways to show our appreciation towards the 'big guys' that had put on their effort to save our country 55 years ago. Today I would like to propose to my fellow friends to not just focus the image of Merdeka to only the past, but to also look into the future and ask ourselves, how will our country look like and celebrate Merdeka Day in…say…31st August 2020 or 31st August 2040. Something to ponder upon…and what do you see?
