so i was just lazing around with nothing to do, especially since my love's out for family dinner. played stupid online games and suddenly.. fairus sent me a link.. a video..

gosh.. im not gonna publicise it here coz i think it's just wrong. the thing im most disturbed about are the comments posted by so many people about it.The image is simply of a girl screaming and swearing on the phone at a cheating boyfriend. However, just because she's Malay, it turned into a typical Malay problem? i could accept views like "malukan orang perempuan" but why is it turned to a Malay problem. and people who were commenting on how she was a "typical" minah sounded like one too. ergh.. i feel so rimas. i mean a girl screaming and swearing at a cheating boyfriend is a girl problem faced by girls from all races and ethnicity and religion and background. and screaming and swearing publicly is also a problem not related at all to any particular group identity, unless you categorise the groups by behaviour.

oh well.. not gonna rattle on and on about it. but people don't post such videos online. what happen to privacy and rights? why humiliate people?

to everyone out there, really watch wat you do in public. you might just be a star on youtube.

stooooooopid

stoooopid paper... NEVER NEVER NEVER spot topics. aargh.. of all the years, they have to change the pattern this year. it's an interesting topic which u need not go for lecture to understand but then... they have stoooopid tests and stoooopid exams....

i hate modules that requires u to memorise so much stuff instead of understanding and applying concepts. i hate it. i hate it. i hate it. it's giving me a headache. im so tired. never been so stressed for a simple/interesting module before. i am so screwed this semester. i need a miracle to pull through with good grades. oh man i just hate this. i am so tired all the time.. i cant focus well. why am i so worried??? i think this is the first sem where i put such high expectations for myself. yeah that's y.. oh well...

"why is russian revolution considered one of the biggest disasters?"

-aims not met: demands for social and economic justice end up with dictatorship of proletariat
-social upheaval
-economic losses
-high casualties from war, violence, starvation and diseases. (more than ww1)
-revolution disrupted industrial progress (war communism)
-revolutionary govt gave 1/4 of land away
-led to rise of Stalin- atrocities (reign of terror) but 5 yr plans improved economy

"british primacy in first half of 19th century"

-competitive advantage: capital and technology - colonial trade
-vast agricultural sector
-rich coal and iron deposits near waters (easy transportation of raw materials to factories)
-short distances
-skilled artisans, mobile labor, capitalist entrepreneurs
-stable govt which supports industrialization (easy to open up business, tariffs/protectionism, bill of rights 1689- no revolution, finance infrastructure)
-expanding population


"modernization"

-"concept that refers to a process in which society goes through industrialization, urbanization and other social changes that completely transforms lives of individuals" wikipedia
