Bug?

The previous post won't show the spacing. Hm..

TNB VS WWF

As the title of the post suggests, it is a fight between Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), your friendly neighbourhood energy supplier against the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF), not the World Wrestling Federation. That one if you don't vote for WWF to win you love Malaysia too much. Good thing for TNB that this is not a fight of brawn agaisnt brawn but a legal fight. TNB is suing WWf for organizing Earth Hour.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, you heard me right. TNB wants to SUE WWF for trying to conserve energy and promote coonservasion awareness. The world is clearly coming to an end when altruistic intentions become a pain in someone elses ass. So why is TNB suing WWF? Because TNB president and CEO Dato’ Sri Che Khalib Mohd Noh won't get his fat year end bonus salary this year as he thought he would. Mr Che here says that TNB is losing money in that one hour when lights are swtiched off and that is a waste of energy.

This just shows you how much we care about the conservation of our planet. I mean, you can't turn off the power plants for just one hour? You could send the tech guys a memo to turn them off like A YEAR IN ADVANCE! Last years total net income was RM107.91 mil. Who says TNB isn't making money. You're not making money when you can use your fingers to count your profit.

The TNB CEO says to be pround of our lights. As a Malaysian, I am proud of our lights. I'd be more proud if I knew that every year, I can help mother earth to help keep producing electricity in the future because I had given her the only 1 hour break that she'll ever get in a year. Can someone educate this man on the conservation of the planet please?

The CEO calls the Earth Hour a 'cultural invasion, a concerted assault by extreme liberal forces aimed to destabilise poorer nations’. Hmm..sounds like he's expecting a take over of somekind. I don't know about you guys but to show the whole world that we care about the environment and conservation of the planets resources by switching off for just an hour doesn't seem so bad. What kind of image do you think countries will have on Malaysia when the case goes public, which it most probably will. It's not rocket science people.

"Let’s unite as 1Malaysia, and tell these green terrorists that we will not go dark! We will not switch off! Let’s tell them that we love our lights!" Mm.. Malaysia boleh.

Self Discovery

This past week has been a journey of discovery for me. I have discovered that:

1) I can write 1000 words, reference and research material in one night.

2) I can get through the day with just over 3 hours of sleep.

3) I become very forgetful when I have only 3 hours of sleep (duh..no surprise there).

4) I need to read things more carefully.

5) I need to be very well informed.

6) Energy drinks don't really work on me.

7) I can't seem to fight procrastination. Yes, very sad.

It's assignments like Corporations Law that drives you to embark on journeys of self discovery. Well that's if you've procrastinated fora whole month and only started doing your assignment with 3 days left till the due date!!

I wouldn't say I didn't do any work for that entire month. I did a basic research on the company and a rough idea of the answers. I doubt that anyone could have crunched up 1000 words in a night from scratch. It will be a brave student to do that, and I take of my hat to you if you've done so.

I did say I needed to be very well informed. It so happens that I had no idea that the assignment carried a whopping 40% of the total marks for Corps(e) Law. To make it look worse, a friend of mine told me that it was worth the 40% and he's:

a) not in my class

b) not studying law

c) not even studying in the uni, and

d) I only see him once a week!!

Yes, I have left my brain on the shelf. But the bright side of it is that the assignment due date is today and I have handed it in. This journey ends here and a new one begins...

FAMILY LAW SEMINAR PAPER!!!

Half Way

It's 5.25 am on a Saturday and I am half way through my assignment. Thank YOU God. Now I have to go the bedsies and go sleepsies. zzzz...

2000 Words

Right, Joshie New has procrastinated long enough and is now going to start REALLY writing a 2000 word assignement with only 3 more days left till the due date. God help me.

Finally

The recent decay in posts are all thanks to the demise of my MacbookPro's screen. I had to walk a good 20 minutes up Elizabeth Street before I got to the place. The funny thing is that I didn't imagine the Elizabeth Street would have been THAT long and the place THAT far. Well the good news is that I have sent it for a diagnostics test (after procrastinating for sooo long) and the bad news is that there might not be a problem with the chipset. Your're probably going, "Why the heck would Josh want his Mac to have aproblem with his chipset?" Well the beauty of this whole problem is (if I can say so myself) is that Apple will totally fix it for free. Yes you heard me right. for freakin' FREE!! Ah.. God bless Apple. This obly applies IF the Mac has a problem with the chipset. If not, I'll be paying a hell lot more than free I can assure you that. It's all up to you now God. Let it be the chipset and pwease pwease pwease let the hard disk be fine. I've got a lot of stuffs in there. I miss my music.

Oh Joy! *note the sarcasm*

The Macbook Pro is now screwed. And I have an assignment due in 2 weeks.

Be joyful in all circumstances ~ got it from Sunday sermon. Timely, very timely.
