Mayan forecast

Here is a picture I found about the Mayan forecast. So many people are worried that 21st Dec would be disastrous. I was told by a friend to buy extra water to keep, buy batteries and torch light amd stock up on food. People are saying that there will be no sunlight for three whole days, which means it will be freezing cold here. I remember last time when it was too cold in New York i think, the water pipes were frozen amd so some people did not have water supplies. How true is the Mayan? NASA says nothing will happen. Wikipedia says it is just a change of the era where some countries might be affected due to tsunami and earthquakes.

Latest news I read in Yahoo! Says that Malaysia will have medium sized earthquakes in the near future. Those affected would be the places which has felt tremors before. Previously, small earthquakes and tremors were know to cause damage to our country's building structure. Therefore, a medium earthquake might cause major destruction as our buildings are not earthquake safe.

Predictions - u wanna believe it and yet you also dont want to....

Half the world is probably stocking up for safety while the other half go on with their lives not fretting about THE day.

For me, I have chocolates :p

Scottish Highland Cows (Cattle) @ Pollock Country Park

This trip was perfect because the temperature was 7 degree Celcius and it did not rain. After experiencing minus 6 degrees for two days, 7 degrees felt like nothing. We walked so much in the park till halfway through I was walking without my jacket on.


This trip was perfect ALSO because I had the chance to see Highland Cows! First of all, I would like to say that if I did not follow the tour, I would think that I will just be in Pollock Country House visiting the museums and the famous maze. I would not have found the Highland cattle because we needed to walk further up to see it. There were two museums in this park which I did not visit.



The first farmland we walked by had Highland cows but the cows were really far away. The tour guide thought this would be the only chance we would get to see the cows, hence he directed us to trudge through some muddy undeveloped farmland near to where the cows were, in hopes of us getting a closer look at the cows. There were plenty of thin branches with sharp tiny torns. Thank god for jackets and long pants. I could hear the torns scratching (or maybe tearing) my pants as I walked through the path. I think someone once came to this place to poop a I saw a pile of it.


We could go no further as there was a river between us and the farm. We took shots of the cows from where we were. Very tiny shots.

When we were back on the main road of the park, we walked further up and lol behold, we saw another farmland with Highland cows right in front of our face. We spent a good 30 minutes or so just looking and snapping pictures of the cows.


The Highland cows looked so peaceful with no worries in the world. They did not moo at all. They hardly budge from their spot except one which came closer to us. The horns on them makes them look fierce like bulls, but they were really gentle. They have cool hairstyles too :P



Besides the cows, we also saw this huge tree believed to look like that due to a witch curse.


On the way back to the train station, I saw a set of teeth (i an guessing false teeth) in front of the Pollock Park sign board. It was intriguing but disgusting at the same time. Anything other than that, the park was fantastic.


I met some elves and horses wearing Santa hats too.

Losing your child....

... Make grown men weep too!

So painful to know each kid was shot more than once.

Today we start to see the pictures of smiling six and seven year olds who could go no further in life

Newtown shooting

Feels so sad to read about the scary incident.

Miss Universe 2012 - Frontrunners

I read from Yahoo! that the Miss Universe Pageant this year will be held on 19th Dec in Las Vegas. They compiled a top 10 list of 'Early Frontrunners' and I must say, some of them looked really gorgeous. Our Miss Malaysia 2012, Kimberley Leggett is one of the top 10. Truthfully, she does not look Malaysian eventhough she is a Malaysian due to her mix parentage. But, I guess if that is what it takes to try to win the Miss Universe title.... that will do. The list:

Miss Malaysia 2012, Kimberley Legget


Miss Puerto Rico 2012, Bodine Koehler

Non-biological twins


I read an article saying that Everybody has a twin. While reading it, I thought the pictures were amazing and it was pretty cool to have a twin. In my mind I thought, they would be bestfriends! But when I finished reading the article, I recalled a time back in high school when I had a schoolmate who looked like me. Well, at least that was what most people said. I remember resenting having someone who looked like me. I avoided her like a plaque. I did not want to get to know her at all. We may look alike, but we do not have the same character. Generally, people's assumption when there are twins is that, they behave the same way and like the same things. Ask me again why I detested knowing that I had a lookalike - I do not know. Maybe its like having another girl wear the same dress like you at a party and you thought your dress was the prettiest until she wore it too??!!

But, of course, NOW I think it is cool to find out that you have a non-biological twin. Just do not expect them to be best of friends. See more pictures here: DAILYMAILUK
