Monkeys Alert

A debate on can wild animals be kept as household companions had been struck on in Malaysia.   Sights of domesticated tame animals like parrots and guppies are slicking off the radars, as a mischievous trend of keeping the wildlife at home is swirled into the nation.   According to a survey done in Johor Bahru, many has agreed on rearing wild animals at home strikes on bigger challenges compared to tame animals. Despite a massive financial need is required for animal food, the owners hunt back an incomparable joy from the immense cuteness of their 'pets', which they can never find elsewhere. A few respondents stated that they feel livelier having fun with wild animals because they don't seek attention much. Pythons, spiders and foxes are among the bewildered youngsters' top choices.   Wizards from the Harry Potter world are even known for keeping bizarre creatures. Fantastic beasts like Kneazles and Crups are on their longing list.   Fancy f...

Almostpoetic

It's pretty rare to see Malaysians who hold immense interests in poems these days.  Say, who remembers 'Venus And Adonis' by William Shakespeare? Or perhaps, 'The Fighter's Line' by Marzuki Ali, which is featured in the secondary school lite rature textbook?   Well, to have a passion in poems doesn't mean you have to read and analyse them like a Literature student.

Wong, who is currently pursuing a degree in Financial...

Down On The East Coast

Guyss, just wanna say a sincere Thank You for everything that had encountered at the National Cadet Camp 2014. Thanks for the 12 great friendship from Johor as well as the knowledge and caring we'd exchanged. It was indeed the best camp that I'd ever been for, in a far-away city, Kuala Terengganu, with that East Coast summer breeze everyday.   Thank you to the boys from Muar for teaching us the proper ways of pitching a tent; and the girls who told us a whole lot about the probadges (Well, we wouldn't forget about how our tents were flooded with arctic rainwater and only 3 badges instead of 4 were earned in the end of the days). I liked the way our ice-breaking was done, thanks to Yew Joe, it was rather enthralling and we would definitely want to try doing that again sometime.   I blamed myself for holding the 'EMO TRAUMA', because perhaps we could have sparkled more fun in the 'killer-game' we played, the water-splashing session by the white sandy b...
