Random Piece : I'm a little rusty

It has been a few months since I last touched my brushes. Need a break from the workload. Watercolour and Photoshop. Please view full. Compression kills.

Things You Take For Granted : The Fuel Gauge

Notice where the fuel pump extends out? This works on most cars to tell you where exactly the fuel cap is. Doesn't quite work on Peroduas however. If the pump extends to the right, then the fuel cap should be on the right side. Some manufacturers place arrows to indicate the position, but it depends. Useful information especially if you're renting a car for the first time and can't figure out where the fuel cap is when you reach the petrol station. At least you wouldn't have to strain your neck.

Back From The Dead

Four weeks and it's finally over. Good luck to those taking Chinese, Geography or some other subjects. Nearly five years and now I'm done with school. It feels great right now, but I'm not sure how long this feeling is going to last. I have a lot of things on my to-do list and that includes putting the finishing touches for 'Bintang'. The Editors couldn't manage to publish it in time, so why not give our best if it's going to be late anyway. You can't blame them. Publishing a magazine is not that easy considering the amount of work you have to do. So, school leavers, do expect to get your copy together with your results. I guess most of us have already planned on hanging out, wasting our time, sleeping, hanging out, sleeping, hanging out, sleeping... Oh, and did I forget to mention sleeping?

No I don't think so. Sleeping would be the last thing on our priority list. After all, most of us are more on the diligent side. Right? From what I've heard, most plan to work, learn how to drive, learn a new language, and go to the gym and PUMP SOME IRON, BABY! Gosh, even saying that gives you the urge to lift them dumbbells eh? I look forward to seeing you guys turn into mini-Ryan Reynolds. And maybe then you could go for the X-Men auditions.

Anyway, thought SPM and STPM was depressing? Man, you have not seen what kindergarten is like. My neighbours have moved out and they left a stack of magazines behind. Unfortunately magazine also includes children work books. And children work books mean a lot of funny stuff. And I just could not resist posting this.

So boys and girls, lets learn how to write and say numbers. Number 1 is too easy so lets go straight to number 2 and so on...

Follow me - Two, two, two, two....

Good.

Now, do the same for number three. I do not want to see any mutated potatoes...

By the time you get to number 4, kindergarten children just go Berserk!
"Four, four, four, four....arghhbhbhbbhghbbghhbhghghbthg!!!!!!!"

And you have absolutely no idea what it is like to write the number five.

That should be all for now. I've got a magazine to be done so, see you in the next post.

What You Need At A Time Like This

+-2-[di(phenyl)methylsulfinyl]acetamide

MODAFINIL

Which is better known as Provigil. Modafinil is a compound which is widely used by air force pilots to stay sharp so they don't crash and die pointlessly. It is used to treat ADHD and fatigue. But let's focus on the latter. Tired of pulling all-nighters for the not-so-distant SPM/STPM? Here's the solution - PROVIGIL

Before we go on, do take note that provigil is a drug. Steroids for the brain. Provigil helps you to stay alert for long hours, even up to twenty hours straight. Now you can finish studying all your subjects in a single day, eh? No sweat. You can forget coffee, Livita, Red Bull or Brand's essence of chicken.

Some take provigil to become smarter. But it doesn't work like that. What it does is, it gives you a mental boost. Just what you need to grasp those scientific concepts, memorise historical facts, and learn to solve mathematical problems in these last few days. Don't get too excited though, because 30 pills would make your wallet $135 lighter. That is RM 462.24. And you don't become smarter after the drug wears off, just to remind you once again. It only gets worse from here.

Side effects include multiple sclerosis, uncontrollable sweating, panic attacks, depression, late periods, low sperm counts, terrible acne, terrible back pains, weight gain, hair loss, yeast infection, muscular dystrophy, premature senility, erectile dysfunction, cardiac arrest, visual impairment, speech problems, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, bronchitis, chronic kidney conditions, uncontrollable bladder, urinary tract infection, diabetes, dwarfism, gastroesophageal disease, ulcers, migraine headaches, Lyme disease, cerebral palsy and anxiety. Kidding...

The only possible side effects are agitation, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, aggressiveness, confusion, nervousness, tremor, palpitations, sleep disturbance, nausea and diarrhea. Nothing to worry about.

Let's get real. Provigil is not the way to go. Instead, exercise, eat right, learn new things and get enough sleep. You know better than I do. And when you're feeling stressed out, you know you can always turn to your creator.

As for now, I would be happy to get a good night's sleep...

Is this it?

Is this what Imran was talking about? Because I think it is a joke. Or is it?
