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!

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.
