Bacteria Nearly Destroyed All Life..??
About two and one-half billion years ago, life on Earth was still in its infancy. Complex organisms such as plants and animals had not yet appeared, but the planet was teeming with microscopic bacteria which thrived in the temperate and nutrient-rich environment. Greenhouse methane lingered in the atmosphere and trapped the sun’s warmth, creating a climate very accommodating to the stew of microbes life that made their home on primitive Earth.
But a billion years of bacterial evolutionary progress was soon stunted by a catastrophic global event. Geologists find no signs of a great meteor impact nor a volcanic eruption, but they have uncovered the unmistakable geologic scars of rapid worldwide climate change. Average temperatures, which were previously comparable to our present climate, plummeted to minus 50 degrees Celsius and brought the planet into its first major ice age. This environmental shift triggered a massive die-off which threatened to extinguish all life on Earth, and paleoclimatologists have good reason to believe that this world-changing event was unwittingly caused by some of the planet’s own humble residents bacteria.

CHEAT....
A lie or cheat is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others. To lie or cheat is to state something with disregard to the truth with the intention that people will accept the statement as truth.
All person cheats. Right? Who dare say that during his life, he never cheats at all? I'm sure everyone had cheat. I'm sure there are no lovers that don’t cheat their couples and I'm sure even parents sometimes cheat their children even if they love their kids so much. No person in the world is pure from deception, all had their mistakes.
Cheating is a part of the life now. Maybe we think we are the most honest person in the world (or at least we try to be that person) but at the same time, in certain situations we have, or not wait to deceive. We cheat for many reasons, maybe we cheat in exams, see the next person in exams, tricks parents; saying that class finished late when actually hanging out at cyber cafe. In the business world, every year the big companies cheat by altering their audit accounts. Numbers are just numbers. Fraud is to give a good impression and to fill the pockets of certain people.
What I'm trying to say here is:
It is impossible for us to put our full trust to someone but maybe for special ones (love, family member).
The world will be a better place if all the people inside it stop cheating.
It is not easy to find a person who can be truthful to us, so, as soon as we found one, maintain our relationship with that person.
Not even a single person free of cheating, even if it is just a small ones. People cheat for their own benefits.
At one hand, we all want to look into a mirror and feel good of ourselves so, we don’t want to cheat. At the other hand we could cheat a little bit and still feel good about ourselves. So maybe what is happening is, there is a level of cheating that we can’t go over but we can still benefit from cheating at the low degree as long as it doesn’t change our impression about ourselves.

Outer Space Exposure...
In scores of science fiction stories, hapless adventurers find themselves unwittingly introduced to the vacuum of space without proper protection. There is often an alarming cacophony of screams and gasps as the increasingly bloated humans writhe and spasm. Their exposed veins and eyeballs soon bulge in what is clearly a disagreeable manner. The ill-fated adventurers rapidly swell like over-inflated balloons, ultimately bursting in a gruesome spray of blood.
As is true with many subjects, this representation in popular culture does not reflect the reality of exposure to outer space. Ever since humanity first began to probe outside of our protective atmosphere, a number of live organisms have been exposed to vacuum, both deliberately and otherwise. By combining these experiences with our knowledge of outer space, scientists have a pretty clear idea of what would happen if an unprotected human slipped into the cold, airless void.

My Top 5 Awesome Things....
Metal Website
I listened to every band in every category for this, and I have discovered so much! Omniavatar, Mar De Grises, Pokku, Metalcore, Bran Barr, Synthetic Breed, Orphaned Land, Sabaton , Masterplan, W.A.I.L. to name but a few. I never listened to any of them before this, so THANK YOU, Metal Storm! All people raise your horns for METAL! XD http://www.metalstorm.net/home/index.php
Having Exotic Animals as pet.
Unlike others, I prefer exotic animals such as snakes, scorpions and iguana. Scorpions are one of the awesome exotic animals. I, myself had a male scorpion as my “pet”.
Black- my “pet” scorpion.
Exotic animals are actually not dangerous. In fact, if we don’t do anything harmful towards them, they will act in dangerous manner. My scorpion’s sting does not cause any harmful injuries because its venom only causes death to insects and small animals such as crickets and worms.
Pit Viper
Owning a Ford Mustang.
Seeing other people dream cars reminds me how awesome it would be if I can have my own Ford Mustang GT. The feeling of driving the car while others admiring my car would totally be sensational.

Ford Mustang GT 500.
Just imagine the feeling behind the wheel. I would totally be lucky if one day I can have this car like the right hand of GOD is on my shoulder.
Playing Snooker with friends.
Snooker is a game of concentration, technique and brain. This game requires us to pocket all the balls into six pockets holes around the table according to the rules. It may look easy but actually snooker is a hard game to master. Power, placement and skills are necessarily needed in snooker game. I usually play snooker with my friends. It took me for over a year to be good at this game. The rules are simple. Pocket the balls needed and avoid making fouls.
One of the skills for cueing.
Full snooker set. (Table and rest).
Bungee Jumping
I have a friend bungee jumping from KLCC and he told me that awesome experience of his bungee jumping is unforgettable. Bungee jumping (also spelled "Bungy" jumping) is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot air-balloon or helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the ground. The thrill comes as much from the free-falling as from the rebounds. When the person jumps, the cords stretches and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord snaps back, and continues to oscillate up and down until all the energy is dissipated. I would love to try bungee jumping once in my life.

Life Without The Moon.....!!!
Life is a tenuous thing. Earth is just within Sol’s habitable zone, and constantly pelted with solar radiation and cosmic rays. Rocky scraps of cosmic afterbirth constantly cross Earth’s orbit, threatening to eradicate all terrestrial life. In point of fact, it is almost certain that countless Extinction-Level Events would have sterilized the surface of our plucky planet had it not been for our constant companion and benefactor; a body which unwittingly wards away many of the ills that could befall us: the moon.Luna is unique among the observed celestial bodies; there is no other satellite closer in size and composition to its mother-planet (if one discounts the dwarf-planet Pluto), and the Earth/moon system is the only tidally locked pair. Furthermore, it also happens to be the only moon in the solar system which is circling an intelligent civilization– a factor which may not be a mere coincidence.

Students must vote during the 'Students' Election' because..
I do not think this should be the issue because students are no longer believes in the effectiveness of MPP responsibilities. we see what we can from the former MPP.
MPP should fully weigh who is their priority
Who should be the priority? Who is the SRC is formed? Does the student demands are met? Do what the MPP is a request to do before the students nor it is assumed that the SRC is the student demand.
Is the SRC provided enough channels to convey the problems of students? Effectiveness of these channels? Is the table open a complaint is sufficient to obtain the cooperation of students? How an organization interacts with its shareholders, would influence the performance of the organization.
We do not mind will fight elections or trivial among students in research institutes. We just want to learn and excel grad. May also collect memories. To do so, we just need good food, cheap and good quality. Bus services that are consistent, comfortable residential colleges, etc. ..
So we will not vote! .. Who cares!

Beware The Dangerous Of Oxygen
There’s a caustic substance common to our environment whose very presence turns iron into brittle rust, dramatically increases the risk of fire and explosion, and sometimes destroys the cells of the very organisms that depend on it for survival. This substance that makes up 21% of our atmosphere is Diatomic oxygen (O2), more widely know as just oxygen.Of course, oxygen has its good points. Besides being necessary for respiration and the reliable combustion engine, it can be liquefied and used as rocket fuel. Oxygen is also widely used in the world of medicine as a means to imbue the body with a greater amount of the needed gas. But recent studies indicate that administering oxygen might be doing less good than hoped–and in fact be causing harm. No one is immune to the dangers of oxygen, but the people who might most suffer the ill effects are infants newly introduced to breathing, and those who are clinically dead.

...Great Leaders are not born, they are made...
Are leaders born or made? The age old nature debate takes center stage and regardless of location or culture, the list still same; Respectful, Deals Well With Stress, Perceptive, Optimistic, Professional, Inspirational, Embraces Change, Team Player, Team Builder, Sensitive, Not Afraid To Show And Share Emotions, Goal-Setter, Equitable.
Fortunately, leaders are made, not born. People learn to become a leader by doing what other excellent leaders have done before them. They become
• Proficient in job or skill
• Proficient at understanding the motivations and behaviors of other people.
As a leader, you combine your personal competencies with the competencies of a variety of others into a smoothly functioning team that can out-play and out-perform all its competitors. When you become a team leader, even if your team only consists of one other person, you must immediately develop a whole new set of leadership skills.The Road To Great Leadership That Is Common To Successful Leader
• Challenge the process - first, find a process that you believe needs to be improved the most.
• Inspire a shared vision - next, share your vision in words that can be understood by your followers.
• Enable others to act - give them the tools and methods to solve the problem.
• Model the way - when the process gets tough, get your hands dirty. A boss tells others what to do, a leader shows that it can be done.
• Encourage the heart - share the glory with your followers' hearts, while keeping the pains within your own.
