DEATH:My worst fear..!!

If there's one thing I fear in this world more than anything it's death.I just wonder how it feels like to die,wether it's painful or..many things just pop into my mind when I think about it but nevertheless I never want to find out.If I could i'd wish to have eternal life but then on the other hand what will be the use if everyone else around you isn't going to have the same fate.Why the hell should we die anyway?Is it nature's way of sustaining itself or is it God punishing us for the sins we commit?Even now as I write i'm getting goose bumps just at the thought of myself placed in a coffin and the pastor there holding a bible preaching,people crying e.t.c..really why do we have to die?Why does God have to punish us in such a way?Why does he give us life in the first place when he's going to take it away from us again?Why can't he just let us live and enjoy life?why?We want to live!I want to live!

MY PASSION:Cars

If there's one thing i love in this world it's cars.Right now I probably have like every issue of 'CAR' magazine on my shelf!The car that comes top on my list of most loved cars right now is a 'HUMMER.'Hummers started out being used as military cars by the united states army,which is where it originates from.The model they used was the 'H1' which by far is the biggest of all the models available on the market.At that time it was illegal for anyone who's not a soldier to own it.Nowadays anyone whose got the 'bucks' for it can get themselves one.Two new models have also been introduced since the hummer 'H1' which are the H2 and H3 respectively.By far the H3 is the smallest of the three but there's another model scheduled to be released in the year 2010.It's model name has not been released yet but a few sketches of what it's going to look like are available on the internet and personally I think the makers this time have done an outstanding job this time.Nevertheless how a car looks depends on the owner.If you love your car enough you'll make it look beautiful.Some of the cars that appear in my list of most loved cars include porsche,lancer,subaru e.t.c.Cars are my ultimate passion and i don't think that will ever change!

OUR CRAZY WORLD:Mob attacks woman for wearing shorts..?!?(Gaborone /Botswana

A 22 year old university of Botswana student was on Tuesday attacked by a bunch of ignorant people claiming her attire was too short to be worn in public.Kereng Mogomotsi(the victim) says she was doing her shopping in the main mall when a group of law enforcement wannabe's approached her claiming her pants were too revealing(i mean,in this day and age..??) and that the president had "outlawed" the wearing of such pants in public.According to an eye witness,yes Kereng was wearing short pants but it was nothing worth causing a fuss about.She said she had even come across some police officers ealier but they never said anything about her attire being "illegal."The group which was made up of young women was so persistant that even when she tryed to seek bail in a nearby taxi they knocked on the windows demanding that she get out so she could be dealt with by which they mean stripping her naked to embarass her.Such incidences are common in Botswana.Such people should be dealt with seriously by the law,i mean,who are they to want to dictate to other people on what they should or should not wear??Women aren't free because of such people and the worse thing is that the culprits always get away with it.It's high time the police of Botswana start doing something about this people so they get what's coming to them!They are dragging our country's name in the mud with such idiotic ideas.The world is proggressing and they should catch up!

MY FIRST TIME PART2(University life)

When i was in high school i used to be very anxious to get to university.I always pictured university to be like paradise,a place where everything runs smoothly.In movies for instance,they always show university students enjoying themselves,partying,clubbing,doing all sorts of nice things.Watching all this movies you'd probably think university is all about having fun,almost the same as high school life but just wait..!Experience it yourself and you'll see that movies are full of lies.University life is way different from that of high school.Back in my country Botswana high school life was much more relaxed.For instance,you could be given an assignment and have a whole week,sometimes even two weeks before submission yet you'll only start working on it a day before submission.Sometimes you'd just not do it and then give some silly excuses and get beaten then everything was back to normal, after all it didn't affect your final mark.Here in university everything you do affects your final mark.You fail one assignment and you're going to have to work extra hard to cover up for that assignment otherwise it's going to cost you at the end of the day.What's even worse is that nobody follows you around here and tells you to submit anything.the lecturer just gives you the submission date and whether you submit or not it's up to you.They'll just deduct marks for every extra day it takes for you to submit.One other bad thing about assignments is that if you keep on postponing doing them they end up increasing and thus becoming a big burden on you so the smart thing to do is to always start your assignments in time to make room for others.Another thing that differentiates university life from that of high school is that back in high school we were used to being spoon feed.We were taught,given notes and sometimes even past test papers to revise with,i mean,having all that, how could you possibly fail.Here in university it's a different story.Lecturers just come in and give you probably twenty percent of the information.How you get the remaining 80 percent it's up to you.The internet is your teacher here at university.You have to do a lot of internet researching in order to pass here.University is totally not for lazy people.Everybody lives their own life here so if you're used to being spoon fed or followed around with your work,this is definately not the place for you if you're not willing to adjust to the new way of life.

SOMETHING I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT...

There's nothing in this world that i'm more passionate about like Bodybuilding.A couple of years ago this was not a very popular sport but nowadays more and more people are beginning to engage in the sport because they've started to understand it's significance.This sport involves a lot of weightlifting so as to build big muscles.It started out as a male sport but nowadays women are also enrolling into it.People though have a lot of prejudice towards female bodybuilders because they feel that a woman isn't meant to have big muscles like men."They look disgusting,"some people say.Bodybuilding requires a person to be disciplined both physically and mentally in order for them to achieve their goals.For instance,one has to visit the gym very frequently,at least 5 times a week and also nutrition.Nutrition plays a very big role in a order for someone to become a succesful bodybuilder but of course it doesn't come cheap so if you want to become a succesful bodybuilder you need to be prepared to spend a lot!There are a couple of well known bodybuilders but two names always come up at the top when we talk about bodybuilding and that's Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronnie Coleman.These two men are icons when it comes to this sport.Although Arnold is no longer actively involved in the sport he is still regarded as the best bodybuilder of all times.Keeping your body in this kind of shape isn't very easy which earns these two men a lot of respect because it shows they are well disciplined.It's high time people start engaging in this sport especially in this era where obesity is such a major concern all round the world.Get a good body and be admired!

SOMETHING I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT...

There's nothing in this world that i'm more passionate about like fitness,well,bodybuilding to be exact.Back in the days it was not a very popular sport but nowadays more and more people are starting to understand it's significance and are starting to enroll into it.It is a sport which involves a lot of weight lifting so as to build up your muscles.It started out as a male sport but nowadays women are also engaged in it.I personally don't support women bodybuilders because i feel that a woman's body shouldn't be hard and tough like a man's,big muscles just aren't meant for women!Bodybuilding requires a person to be disciplined both physically and mentally in order for them to achieve their goals.There are a couple of well known bodybuilders but two names always come up at the top when you talk about bodybuilding and thats Ronnie Coleman and Anold Schwarzenegger.This two men are icons when it comes to this sport.Even though Anold is no longer actively involved in the sport he's still a well respected bodybuilder of all times.In order to become a succesful bodybuilder one has to watch mostly their diet.Nutrition is very important in this sport so this means you must be prepared to spend a lot if you want engage in this sport,after all your spending will pay off at the end with you having a well toned body admired by all especially from the ladies side.I'd recommend every man out there to engage in this sport to stay fit especially in this period where obesity has become such a major concern all around the world.Its high time people start shaping their bodies and the time is now!

Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is one of Botswana's well known tourist destinations,in fact,one could say you haven't been to Botswana until you have seen Okavango Delta!It is the world's largest in-land delta and it covers about 17000 square km of land!Tourists flock here every year to come and see the wide variety of plants and animals that reside here at the delta.Lions,Buffalos,Elephants are some of the animals one could look foward to seeing when visiting the place.If you are more of an adventure person you could go for a wild ride in a mokoro(small boat) which is manually driven by a boatman usin a long stick.The mokoro is a mode of transport native to the Bayei tribe who are the native people that originate from that place.Basket weeving is one of the main human activities practiced around the area.A number of safari lodges and camps have been established in and around the area so as a tourist you wouldn't have to worry about where to stay when you're at the place.Trually the Okavango delta is a God given blessing to Botswana so i would recommend anyone visiting the country to just pass by the place to experience all these fascinating natural beauty for themselfs.

Oscar:The angel of death

Adapted as a small kitten by the staff of Steere house nursing and rehabilitation centre in Province,Rhode Island,now two years old,Oscar has been empowered with an amazing gift.Everyone at the centre refers to Oscar as though they are reffering to a human being and i got to admit,he deserves that respect.Every morning he will get up and go around checking in on the patients and nurses know that if you see him staying too long at a patients'bed and not wanting to bulge,the time has come for that patient.They will start calling up the close relatives of that particular person so they could at least have the chance to say goodbye.It is amazing how a cat can be entrusted with such an amazing gift of being able to predict when someone is about to pass away.Its no wonder a local hospice awarded him with a plaque to honouner him for the amazing gift he has.So far he's been able to predict the deaths of twenty patients.To the people at the hospital,Oscar is a true champ!!

MY FIRST TIME...??

They say first experiences are always the best but in my case,i honestly disagree with that statement.Ever since i was little i have always wondered what the world outside was like.I'd watch TV and see many different countries being advertised and i'd think to myself "wow!i want to go there!"Even my parents were always pushing me to work hard at school because they wanted to see themselves one day taking me to the airport going to school abroad.Indeed it has happened alright,but the outside so far has not turned out to be as i have always seen it to be on TV.When i left Botswana to come here to Malaysia,i was very excited;1.it was my first time to board a plane;2.it was my first time to go abroard.We had been told that Malaysia was so great,so peaceful e.t.c.Everything about Malaysia was just good good!Ten hour flight and we were in Malaysia.The first thing that i noticed when we arrived at the airport that contradicted the picture that was painted in our minds was the weather.When you are inside the airport building you would think that everything was okay because of all the air conditioners regulating the temperature inside,go outside...!It was so hot and humid i could hadly breath,thoughts of boarding the next plane back even started crossing my mind.We were taken on a brief tour around and yes some of the beauties that we were told about i saw but then i noticed another thing that we definately not told to expect in this 'good good' country.You'd be walking around the mall and when they turn around and see you they'd pace up as if a lion was behind them or something..?I decided to ignore this because i thought it was probably just me imagining things.A few extra nights passed and i saw that this was something that was still existing in some countries.Who would have thought in this day and age there would still be racists around!I mean,u'll be boarding the school bus and there you see a seat next thing somebody stands up when they realise you're coming for it and prefer to stand all the way as long as they are not sitting next to you?Well, thats another challenge i'v learnt to live with about this country.I'm not saying that everyone here is like that,but those kind of people are there!Well, i guess this are just things i should just learn to live with and continue with my life here in Malaysia.I got four full years to spend here and if i dwell much on the negative things about this country my studying here won't prosper.

WEALTH(Money aint a thing...??)

One thing that i have learnt in life is that life is tough without money.Many people refer to it in many different ways;Paper,cheddar,the green leaf...e.t.c but no matter how you refer to it,never believe anyone who tells you money is nothing or as we like to put it in slang "money aint a thing."That phrase is just a bunch of lies coming from broke people trying to make themself's feel better.I for example used to have a lot of money not very long ago.My parents had long lectured me to spend my allowance wisely when i arrive here in Malaysia.All Batswana students studying here in Malaysia were given around P19000(roughly around RM9000) as there allowance t0 carry them for three months.Yes the money looks like it would last a lifetime when you look at it in writing but wait until your first withdrawal from the A.T.M...!!You will ask yourself wether you ever had RM9000 in your account or wether the bank is swindling you!The money will start flying off the tip of your fingers in ways i cannot describe.Every day a bus picks us up from where we stay and takes us to the mall,at around 18:30pm and on almost each of those days i'd make sure i left with that bus.When i passed by a store and saw something i liked i wouldn't even hesitate for a second,i bought!I bought everything from clothes to tech-gizmos and when i was done with my shopping i'd end it off with a meal from mcdonalds.For about three weeks i didn't even buy food to cook at home.I'd have a take away away for breakfast,lunch and supper.When i saw my friends making their groceries and buying gas so they could start cooking at their houses i'd just think to myself "i don't need to do that!I got money!Where has all that money gone right now?Going to the mall is now my worst nightmare!Right now i have less than a quater of the original money we were given yet we have like two more months before we can start being given our allowance on a monthly basis.If i managed to extinguish more than three quaters of my allowance in like three weeks,how the hell am i going to survive on the remaining one quater for two months!I don't even want to face an ATM right now.I got to watch every single RM1 in my wallet.People,money is a thing and life's tough without it,believe me!

my english experience

I have always liked English since primary school,from the teachers to the subject itself.Even my results showed that i had a passion for the subject.Things only started to change course when i started junior school.The teacher wasn't that bad,just that her style of teaching was very boring to the extent that you would just fall asleep before she even proceeded with her schedule for the day.But nevertheless i still managed to get good grades come the final exam.All along i had though my junior school teacher was boring but little did i know what senior school had in store for me.The first few introductory lessons were not that bad,with her passing jokes every now and then during the lessons.We wrote tests every month which were used to judge wether a student really understood what was being said in class or they were just pretending.We did fine for the first few months but things started to change course during the most crutial hour of our senior time.Her teaching style just started to bore us.She was teaching us like she was teaching a primary student,i mean,even a toddler wouldn't laugh to the jokes she passed in class.Even though our marks started to drop badly,no light showed her that maybe something was wrong with her teaching,she just proceeded with it.Every time i looked at the timetable and saw that English was there i would just get turned off.I lost interest to the extent i did't even care anymore wether i failed anymore.When the monthly results came and i had failed i would just fold up the paper and throw it away.That was the end of me as far as English was concerned,my marks kept going up and down.Even though i credited it in my final BGSE exam,it was not the grades i had wanted to earn.If my primary school teacher had seen them she would have been so disappointed in me.
