I was told that cactus actually could ward off evil spirits and wills. Funny ain't it how when you're small you'd believe in anything? Back when I was a child I'm very much afraid of ghosts lurking around every dark corner I could see. Nightmares were abundant and the only person I'd turn to in the depths of my despair, my good old aunt who babysat me till I was like 10. Of course, she was the one who told me all these olden stories and tales about legendary folklore and beliefs that now helped me much in the development of my creativity. It doesn't take all the imagination in the world to be creative when you're a child. You just.. imagine. Now, back to the cactus story. My aunt was the one who told me that cactus could ward off ghosts and spirits because of it's spikes.
How exactly, I didn't know. But one thing's for sure. I DID plant a cactus at the back of my house. It was a "Prickly Pear" (After Googling the name out, only did I know)
That's how a Prickly Pear looks like and is probably one of the most common ornament plant that people tend to plant outside of their house probably because of the lack of thorns and their beautiful flowers.
The thing about cactus, instead of its horny feature (excuse the pun) it is quite the spectacular plant as a nutrient for our body.
Excuse the Pun! And the disturbing picture here.
Cactus juice are known to be cooling agent for the heaty body and are really great nutrient for supple skin. (or at least, that's what people who are selling cactus juice are telling, I mean, they'd even say consuming cactus juice can make you live till 130 years old if they have to just to sell their products)
That would be all on this wonderful Sunday, have a great evening you all!
The recent crackdown on the Bersih rally has brought many Malaysians wrath to a par of level unknown. It really got us thinking, "Why is the government so afraid of the Bersih rally's call for a clean and fair election?" This is pure bullshit if you ask me. The government is actually opposing a call for clean and fair election.
All around the world, Malaysians have gathered in numbers under the name of Bersih irrespective of race, religion and age, to garner the spirit to ensure the citizens' message is sent clearly to His Majesty Tuanku Mizan, King of Malaysia. The Bersih's purpose of having that rally was to send a memorandum to His Majesty so as to call for a clean and fair election next year. But then again, how is this peaceful march being treated by hands of the government aka police and federal reserve units?
Note : Police were out of handcuffs. XD
I was also told that there was a Malay man distributing salt to all who took part in the Bersih rally. The salt was simply to neutralize the effect of the tear gas to avoid yourself from choking should you inhale it. The distributing wasn't the key to this story. It was the generosity of that man, because soon after distributing, he had left none for himself. This, may I make a stand now, is 1Malaysia. I've been busy reading #bersihstories in Twitter. It wasn't the rally that made us realised that we're are one. It is the little things that happened DURING the rally, where, we, Malaysians, are one.
Madam Annie Ooi, Malaysia's new heroine. She's 65-years old. tear-gassed 4 times, once hit with "blue chemical water canon" in words of her daughter
Anne, from Setapak, took a bus ride down to KL, ALONE, in support of the rally. She was stopped 4 times, being asked her IC, and questioned by the police on why she's wearing yellow. "Why can't I wear yellow?" was her reply.
She didn't know what time the rally was scheduled to start, she didn't know where, she has no one with her; all she knew was to get down to KL, and stand for what she believes in. A true Malaysian story.
A quote by Madam Anne herself,
“Why do we have to feel so scared (and threatened) in our own home land… and by own countrymen?”
Sometimes, some things are just so pure, it makes you want to cry. Here's a video of our national anthem Negaraku being sung in Melbourne at the time of the rally.
Is this the 1Malaysia we so desire? Are we really living in Malaysia or Myanmar? The question "Why are we being bullied and threatened in our own land?" arises among many Malaysians lately. The public who are rallying in a peaceful demonstration are actually being beaten up! (Sorry, can't find more photos on police brutality at the moment, though I know I saw a bunch of them in FB, shall try to save them pictures when I do see them.)
And this is what our Home Minister's reaction towards this rally's call for fair and clean election. Home Minister Hishamuddin aka Kerishamuddin blatantly rejected any idea/speculation/suggestion/evidence/proofs/videos/images/etc of police brutality and promised to punish any media caught reporting "false" news about the Bersih coverage.
I had a very interesting read with Chris today. She's got the CLEO mag and apparently, since we haven't met for weeks, we kinda got a spot in the newly furnished Learning Point in school to chill. It was fun really, chatting with such a crazy girl whose boyfriend shares the same Christian name as I do.. (But I'm always way more awesome.)
Anyway, about that mag. Something caught her attention, and her attention caught my attention. Apparently, there were some rather "Explicit" questions being asked in the mag. One of them would be :
"Why does stimulation at the clitoris brings the out-of-this-world feeling?"
I was like... "Oooooh....*continues reading* aaahhhhhhh..... I see. "
Stimulating the clitoris? Reminds me of.... this.
Yeah.. That movie.. "Teeth". Don't know if you guys have watched it before, but it kinda gave me a good bit of laugh to see guys who try to force their way into this one particular girl eventually lose their bits with a chomp from where they least expect. :D
Anyway, back to the drawing board. It did suggest sex as a weekly prescription. A weekly sex seem to improve your love life a lot.
In the once in a month category, "Lock the door and pull the blinds. Have sex around the house the whole day. Only stop when you need to use the toilet or eat something."
LoLwut?! Haha. Okay, might try that some time later in life. :D
Last but not least, in the list of "Must do : Once in a lifetime" is.... *drumroll*
"SEX IN PUBLIC PLACES"
Awesome!!! Must do! Once in a lifetime! Okay.. quit it. By "Public" here it doesn't mean "in front of everyone." It literally meant "outside where you might get caught" but the thrill of it makes a couple do it I guess. *ponders*
Hurrr....... Imagine a scene where you're walking along a quiet road, then the bush on the roadside started to sway and moan. :D Happy times.
Ciao y'all! Have a great time out there ya! *pun not intended but if you insist, then play safe*
