Because:

1. I myself had trouble spelling the url correctly everytime i want to type it out fast.
2. It's difficult for people to remember my url.

Sorry, please change my link on your link list, again.

Sorry for troubling.

Thank you. =P

He is Enough for Me

In MUET (Malaysian University English Test) speaking component, examinees will be given a topic and they're supposed to discuss on the topic, in a group.

For my exam, my topic was something like, where should we go to when we're in trouble. And I was supposed to answer "parents" (yeah, the question will give you the answer, you should just construct your own words and play along. Other examinees will get different answers, that was how the exam goes) 

The reason I gave was parents are definitely older than us and so, they know more things than we know, most of the time more than what we think they know. And so, going to them for moral support is very recommended because chances are, they went through this problem we're having in early 20s. 

I also said that going to peers are not well recommended, for the fact that peers are as inexperienced as we are. Peers might be having just the same problem we are having. In Malay language, there's a proverb, "bagai ketam mengajar anaknya berjalan lurus". Literally translated, it means "like a crab teaching it's kids(?) to walk straight". My own created English proverb: "A monkey teaching another monkey how to cook using a microwave oven".

That is precisely the reason why I am very grateful for my family. A very supportive parents, whom I know I can always fall back on when anything goes wrong. My mum said that's one of the reason I always do things blatantly, because I know I can fall back on them, morally. And I am pretty sure some if not many of us have a supportive family, I hope so.

But, what if the problem does not only inflict us as an individual?
What if it inflicted the whole family?
Say, the sickness of a family member, or worse, the death of a family member.

At that point, every member of that family has their own grief to attend to, despite having to be supportive to each other.
At this point, family members cannot afford to fall back onto their family for moral support, each and every one of them needs something to fall back on, no energy to support someone else.

Wanna hope for non family members?
Slim chance there will be anyone, unless you're blessed with caring, patient friends.  =)

"HasbiAllahu laa ilaaha illaa Huwa 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul Arshil Adheem"

please please please read all the meanings in this post. they are very beautiful. I know some readers will tend to scroll down but, believe me, these meanings are worth reading, and knowing. And they really are not many of them. =)

Allah is sufficient for me. 

There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him. He is Lord of the Majestic Throne
And so, feel free to fall back on Him.
For He is always near to us. What we need to do is just pray to Him. Just pray to Him.

He promised, he'll be there for us.

"When My servant ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every supplicant when he calls on Me; let them also, with a will, listen to My call, and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right way" [2;186]"
He promised! Yes, He promised!
=)

And there's another promise, we will not be burdened more than what we can bear.
We will only be tested with bearable tests, those within our capabilities.

"Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability" [2;286]

****A strong reminder to myself, and to friends out there. He promised, He'll be there for us. Any other being in this world can promise that? To be there whenever you need them? To be ready to listen to any of your cries? And to really really be there when you need them? ****

The Power of Love

A conversation between 2 little girls:

"What do you want to be when you grow big?"
"I want to be a nurse...."
"Ooohh, I want to be a doctor.."

At this point, the adults stopped listening,

"No, you cant. You have to become a nurse before you can be a doctor...."
"Really?"

And today (1st May 2010), is the wedding day of one of the girls.

I met her more than 10 years ago, when my first uncle received his first daughter.
She's my auntie's (my uncle's wife) niece.
At that time, I did not know how old was she, but I was about 6 or 7 years old.
I think she was of the same size with me, perhaps same age, or maybe a year or two older, or younger. I really can't remember.
And I've never seen her after that.
There was never an occasion where these our families met again. Maybe I did meet her, I just did not know that it was her.

And tonight, I attended her wedding.

And as all of you might be thinking, which of the girls was me.

I was the one who said I wanted to be a nurse, because a nurse will be promoted to become a doctor. 

I don't mind people laughing at me, I was in my pre-school! At least I know that doctors and nurses work together, and there is such a thing called promotion. =)

Mum told me last week that my "old friend" is getting married.
I was shocked, she couldn't be much older than me.
If she's not my age, she might just be a year or two older.
And she's getting married?
That's good news!
I remembered mum told me that her father is a doctor.
*I don't know why but I felt very acquainted as soon as I hear that her father is a doctor. Silly of me..*

And so tonight, I attended my "old friend"'s wedding, a very old friend that I don't even remember her name neither her face.

The wedding was not a huge one, only close friends and family were invited.
Nevertheless, it was grand.
The bride's house was a big bungalow.
One do not have to be smart to know that this doctor is not just any doctor, to own a house like this.
And I would say the family was a wealthy one.
The menu was mutton and fish. And the rice was served in a goat's abdomen.
Urrgh, I don't know how to describe it, it sounded gross now.
It wasn't gross, it was unique instead.


And then, I got to know that the bride is 23 years old, she IS a bit older than me.
But it is still considerably an early age to get married, relative to the culture now. We got to know that the bride had just graduated this year while the groom has started working. Perhaps he is a year or two older than his wife.
My mum praises the marriage however.
She IS into early marriages, or at least she does not oppose it.
According to her, it's the society that made it hard for a couple to get married.
The society made it in such a way that the couple must have a steady career, steady background, steady finance etc etc before getting married.
But, it is human nature that they want companionship.
Hence, young couples will get together, and some of them might just go the wrong way, to get companionship, without marriage.

"Why can't a couple go through their life together, getting stable together and achieving success together, married?" -quoted from, my mum.

Frankly, looking at the bride and groom, I felt a sudden rush of jealousy.
But jealousy, is not at all time bad, isn't it?
Just like fear can be a good motivation, *quoted* jealousy can also be a good motivation.
And don't ask me what kind of drive did it give me, I'd like to keep it to myself. =)
A jealousy without hoping the other party being inflicted with something bad, is a good jealousy.

Then there was a surprise performance.
The bride's elder brother sang for his newly-wed younger sister.
For me, that was a very sweet and pleasant gift from an elder brother.
Dush! Another rush of jealousy in me... *evil Akmar*

Mum said to me while looking at the newly-weds, "They have the whole life ahead of them, they have to go through everything that comes their way from now on, together". A wise saying from an experienced tough woman.

Going to a wedding of someone not so much older than me got me thinking.
Got me thinking a LOT.
And then, seeing my parents in the car, made me think even MORE.
What did I think about?
Again, I'd prefer keeping it to myself.
=)

What's the point of this post?
: To tell the whole world that I have just came back from a beautiful wedding.

I sincerely wish the new young married couple a happy, blissful and adventurous life ahead. Amin... =)

Why the title "The Power of Love"?
:The song was played in the wedding just now. And somehow I can't stop humming the chorus, it's stucked in my head. Might as well put it as the title. =)

For The Past One Week

I fell sick last Saturday.
Couldn't get up from bed for two days.
Spent the weekend on bed.

Went to clinic on Monday, blood count was normal.

Went to PBL on Tuesday morning, periodic cough attacks, I gotta run out of the room in the middle of discussion a few times, gasping for air.
Wondering how to survive two hours in the lecture theatre, fairly sure the periodic unstoppable cough will be attacking and batchmates' attention will be disturbed by my endless periodic cough.
Thought of hanging out with Dina and Sarah at Sunway. Plan didnt work out.
Light headedness in the afternoon, went back home.
Slept the whole evening.
Study a bit at night.

Wednesday, still coughing badly...
Need to run to the toilet few times, stomach content banging to get out, but through the wrong direction.
In desperate need of a bronchodilator.
Did not go for lecture.
Self study at home, blogged and fb-ed (wasting time basically).

Thursday, got up late.
Did not go for lecture too.
Coughing better than Wednesday but still need to run to the toilet every now and then.
Frequency of periodic cough decreases, severity of each attack is almost the same.

And now, 6 minutes before Friday.

So basically, i spent most of my weekdays this week at home.
I didn't attend any of the lectures this week and there is no lecture tomorrow on Friday.
I officially skipped (with a good reason) the whole week's lecture.
Urrgghh..

But, i managed to write SIX blog posts in a week, when before this it might take me three weeks to write one post.
I managed to clean up my work station at home.
I spent more time at home.
I saved a lot on eating my meals in IMU.
I think I gained weight.

I managed to calm myself down.
I managed to watch some news.
I don't have to spend time on driving.

I am still coughing.

I am sleepy.

I wanna sleep. Goodnight.

It's 12.01am now.
It's already Friday!

Distractions at Home

If I study at home,

1. I'll be very much attached to the internet in front of me
2. I'll be going up and down the stairs as an excuse of relieving my body of ache as a result of sitting too much.
3. I'll be heading to the kitchen every now and then, open the fridge and have a bite or two on whatever edible in the fridge. And my aunt had just came back from Australia, she brought lots of chocs back. Arrghh...
4. I'll be going to the mirror and start brushing my hair and pin here and there and then get back to my desk.
5. I'll be going into my room, look at my bed longingly and decided not to sleep.
6. I'll be pitying myself for having to study and decided to sleep on the couch, putting my alarm 30minutes later. And wakes up 1 hour later.
7. I'll get frustrated when I dont have enough reference book and hoped I can have a med library at home.

Conclusion: Home Sweet Home

Complexity

Sometimes we need to pay for the mistakes we made in life.

Sometimes we get off it, and continue with our life. It happened to me a lot of times before.


Sometimes we gotta pay for the mistake we made long long time ago, which we thought we got it off.


Sometimes we thought we're paying for a mistake which we conveniently convinced ourselves we did when actually we didnt.


And sometimes, we pay for mistakes that other people did.


Sometimes, just sometimes, we feel so blessed that we made a mistake and now paying for it.


But most of the time, we blamed other people for the mistake we made without knowing we made the mistake. And when we gotta pay for it, we tell ourselves that we're paying for other people's mistake. 


Complex enough?
This post is generated out of boredom (a BIG FAT lie). It is also generated because i am too tired to study, and is already drained.

This post came out of nowhere when i decided to complicate my mind which is already very complicated now. And I actually wrote this post on Tuesday 27th April 2010 at 7.45pm. It couldnt be published, I've no idea why. Maybe it's because of the coding.

p/s: To whoever it may concern, i am trying and will do my very best to make things better but i will desperately need cooperation. It takes two to tango... =)

Just a Thought

I am often asked these Qs:

"How are your studies?"


"How is your exam?"


"When is your exam?"

OR WORSE STILL,

"Do you think you can make it for your exam?"

How am i supposed to answer?

Even if i answered, "No, i dont think i can make it for the coming exam. I still have a lot to study"

Will that make any difference?
The questioner wont be able to do anything also (forget the grammar here)
Duh!

p/s: I'm coughing really badly now, how to stand two hours in lecture later? With the air cond, i'm sure i'l be coughing my heart out and make the hall noisy. Haiz... And PBL later some more, in a small closed room...! Double haiz...

Falling Ill

I dislike falling sick. Other than getting all the attention from family members, there is nothing else to be looked forward to in falling ill. Work cannot be done, study cannot be completed, even staring into the monitor gets my eyes go blink blink.

All These Minor Little Things

I made a new discovery (I hope to win a Nobel Prize with this discovery... =D ) Ok, that joke is lame, i know.
Anyway, i found out that

Sore throat leads to increased frequency of visits to the toilet.
How? Sore throat leads to cough, leads to increased water intake, leads to increased blood volume leads to decreased water retention leads to increased urine output leads to increased toilet visit frequency.

L.A.M.E!!!

Pre Amazing Craze

Assalammualaikum.
I know this is a terribly late post but I STUBBORNLY STILL WANT TO WRITE ABOUT IT.
Hahahaha...

Anyway, IMU Muslim Society in collaboration with the Student Rep Council and Stdnt Service if i'm not mistaken, held an Amazing Craze on 27th March 2010. The game is a mimick of the Amazing Race but it's IMU edition and it's held in conjunction with the Earth Week. Each team consists of only two members and I got my husband to be my partner!! Yeay...!! The first prize was 2 tickets to Langkawi, 2nd was two tickets to Genting Highland and 3rd was two tickets to Sunway Lagoon. Me and my husband aimed the Sunway ticket bcos it's been a long time since we've been there, and we've never been there together.

And so, few weeks before the game, we started jogging! Uh wow.. I've nvr jog in the park near IMU before but i jogged bcos we wanted the Sunway ticket. We jogged for about 2-3 evenings per week. Running up the Bukit Komanwel made me realise that my stamina is very very low. I dared not stop jogging bcos I know perfectly well, once i stop i wont be able to start again. I'd better jog until i really cant move my leg anymore.

The game will take place in Kuala Lumpur city, and we weren't allowed to use our own transport. We need to use public transport and i'm because both me and my husband are from KL and we are very quite   familiar with public transport in KL. That gave us a plus mark.

Both of us also can communicate well, and will not quarrel with each other and so, i trust or at least hoped that we won't start to fight when we're under the pressure to win. That will make things turn bad for us.

I really anticipated the game...............
And this part of the story ends here.
Hahahahaha....
I'll continue writing some other time. Till then, take care!

Of Watch and Of Motorcycle

The Watch Story

I was given a watch as my UPSR gift from my mum. It was a POLO watch, the first expensive watch i owned. My watches before that were those Sailormoon, Power Rangers pasar malam watches. I still have the receipt and  the watch box with me till now. *Yea i know, i'm just too sentimental to throw them away*

Anyway, the watch cost my mum RM39.90 (only?) in November 2001 and i really treasured the watch. The next year, i went to a district level girl guide camping with few other friends and teachers. It was a 3 days 2 nights camping. On the last day, in the toilet, i took the watch of my hands to shower, and put it next to my other stuff. And i forgot to wear it back after bathing. I went out of the toilet and go for the closing ceremony.

As usual, during and after the closing ceremony of a camp, participants will exchange numbers and addresses so that we can keep in touch with each other (frankly, i forgot where i put all the numbers).
Moments before going into my teacher's car to go back to school, i realised i wasnt wearing my watch, and i remembered vividly putting it next to my pants in the toilet, but i cant remember taking it back. And that was at least 4 hrs ago. The journey back to school was delayed bcos of me. I ran back to the toilet to look for the watch, and i went to look at other places as well. My friends helped in the hunting mission but all of us failed in agony.

And so, i sadly board the teacher's car and head back home. I cried along the way back, and fell asleep.
When i woke up, my eyes were sore, and i remembered back why i cried and tears started to drop again. When my parents fetch me from school, i cried telling them i lost the watch. At home, i cried again praying hard i'll find the watch. I dont even mind if i find it on the day i die. That was the extent of my imagination then...

Currently, i am wearing the watch my mum bought for me before i started my A Levels 3 yrs back, and i'm determined to use it until i finish my medical degree. Really hope i can take good care of the watch this time...

The Motorcycle Story

My mum has been using my car for more than a week now, her car went into "ICU".
And so, since she can't send me to campus, my dad needs to.
And my dad rides a motorbike everyday to work.
This brought us to one simple fact, "I've been going to IMU by motorbike for two consecutive days!"
Wow...
The last time i went on a motorbike, if i am not mistaken was when i took the license, almost 3 yrs back. And so, the first journey ystrday was really exciting and scary.
It was so cold, my legs felt numb, but adrenaline is circulating in high amount in my body that cant stop myself from grinning along the journey, really..
I made few funny faces, playing with the muscles of the face and getting buccal tired by the time i reached IMU. =)

Oh, free!!!

On exam day...
Summative on Friday, 12th March.
I fell sick.. Great...
Hahahahaha....
I cant really answer my paper, slept right after i finished answering, didnt even had the energy to check my answers.... *this could actually be a psychogenic illness but...........*

Post exam syndrome...
I know very well that i didnt do my best for the summative...
But as usual, i dont really sulk over it. This just mean that i need to strive harder for the next exam lah...
This weekend is one of my free-est weekend.
I didnt study at all, only did some of notes organising work, to prepare myself for the coming system, Haematology.

I went to Mines on Saturday, to Metro Kajang on Sunday. I actually planned to watch movie with my sis in Jusco tonight (Sunday) but she's too tired to accompany me (she had just came back from a state level competition in Banting for 2 days). At first i wanna watch Little Big Soldier but, the movie is no more on screen... =(
That's the disadvantage of delaying watching movie session, the movie is no more on screen, to buy the ori DVD, it's too expensive, pirated ones dont come in good quality. Haiz...  I heard Alice in Wonderland is a nice fantasy movie, maybe i'll persuade sis to go watch with me, if she has the time and mood (i'm starting to wonder who's the elder sis and who's younger now).

I printed a bundle of notes for the week early this morning, and i'm kinda highly motivated now, want to start a new chapter in my semester 3, to excel in exam... We'll see what i'll be writing here a week before the next summative k, most probably i'll be complaining of lack of preparation... Hahahaha...

Now is 9.06pm and 12hrs from now i should be in IMU lib, to start my day studying hard...again...
LIFE...
Ok, enough of rantings...

A Story Behind It

Assalammualaikum wrt wbt.
Remember PMR History syllabus?

Parameswara, the Prince of Palembang which was ruled by Majapahit, ran to Temasik (Singapore).
There, he was treated nicely by Temagi, the ruler of Temasik. At that time, Temasik was under the power of the Siamese.

Now, what happened then?
The history goes that Parameswara killed Temagi, to get Temasik under his rulings.
But when Siam got to know that their representative, Temagi was killed, thet sent a troop to Temasik to capture Parameswara.
Parameswara then ran to Malaya and settled down in Malacca.
He built an empire in Malacca, and later started sending "protection money" to Siam so that they wont come and attack Malacca.

Now, time to think (or maybe imagine....)
Parameswara, the prince who managed to build Malacca, must be a smart man.
Even if not very smart, he can't be stupid, can he?
Why then, did he "foolishly" kill Temagi to get Temasik? Obviously he knew that Temasik is under Siam's ruling, and Siam was a VERY powerful country at that time, why then did he find trouble?
There was no way he can escape from killing Temagi could he?

Now, imagination comes in.
Who knows, Temagi actually flirted with Parameswara's wife or perhaps daughter at that time...
Then Parameswara was challenged, and killed Temagi.
Sounds logic right?
It's just like those Chinese Dynasties. The history is one thing, the story behind it is another.
Be it the admiral fell in love with the enemy's princess, or one of the 500 emperor's concubines.
Or one of the concubines tried to kill the empress to get the emperor's attention.
Or one of the princes tried to overthrow his own father so that he can be crowned.
Or anything at all.... (ok ok, maybe this is kinda too fairy tale but it can still happen, i'm sure)
There are reasons in every single thing that happen in this world.

So, i am vry sure something happened btw Temagi and Parameswara more than 800 yrs ago.
But the history i studied at school just stated that Parameswara wanted to overthrow Temagi, which for me is a very very foolish act.

Ok, i'm sorry that i really didnt do any extra reading before writing this. I dont know if any of our historian described what really happened but MOST Malaysian children only know what was taught at school, and that includes me.

p/s: Been long since i write. Haiz.. Exam in 2 weeks time, die die... A lot more to study.
I cant wait for 13th March, but I dont want 12th March to come. Can?

Streamyx, bad?

Salam.
Lately i can only go online when i am in IMU.
This is due to the fact that the No1 broadband in Malaysia actually frustrated me.
My modem lights keep blinking, indicating of the lack of internet connection.
Interestingly enough, every time i take up the house phone to call streamyx, the light stopped blinking, they stay lit.





And this doesnt happen only once.
When i first called streamyx, i gotta go through lines of operators.
Untuk BM press 1, for English press 2
For telephone and data, press1. For internet, press 2 and bla bla bla...

And by the time i reach a human to talk to, their staff, the lights are stable and steady. NO BLINKING.
So, i dont hv any report to be done anymore, and according to the telephonist who checked my acc, i am connected to the internet.
Then, i say thank you and hang up.
Then, the lights start blinking again!
Aaaaaiiiisssshhhh............

I didnt notice the pattern at first but after a few idiotic attempts to call them to report and putting the phone down when the modem lights go stable, i finally see the pattern.
And so, every night after IMU, if i want to go online, i would hv to do a phone call using my hse phone.
So far, i've only called streamyx and hang up JUST BEFORE i am connected to the telephonist.
And then, i will call them again, hear all the adverts and instructions from the operator, to keep my internet going and then putting down the phone again JUST BEFORE i am connected to the human telephonist.

I hv yet to try calling other ppl to see if the same trick works.
U see, i cant just put down on ppl while they were talking neither can i talk while surfing the internet at the same time.
And so, life is a test.
And without doubt, i am writing this in IMU library.... =P

Self Personality Test

Salam.
I found this test... Took it, and the result is somehow....true?
Dont know...
So, anyone interested in doing theirs?
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx


And this is my result: 


Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.



The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.



Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Keeping My Hands Clean

Salam.
Yesterday during dinnet, my brother told the family "I dissected a frog yesterday!"
And i was like    =.="

Due to some inevitable situation, i missed the frog dissecting session when i was form 4.
And he continued,
"I thought i'll hv goosebumps holding the slimy green frog but it turned out very well! I felt like a pro...!"
"I cut the frog open, and oh man, the skin can easily be teared off. And i can see the frog's heart beating!"
"And we saw the liver and the intestine. And my friends are making jokes abt seeing the duodenum, the pancreas and all....."

"And at the end of the lab session, we decided to "destroy" the frog. We took all organs out and at last, we saw the spinal cord! In the empty frog body!"

Duh!
I'm jealous...
Been hearing abt friends in other med school dissecting cadaver almost every day, and here in IMU we're merely dissecting the models in medical museum (Keep telling myself, i hv to be grateful.... At least i get a chance to study medicine! Things can be a lot worse.... At least i'm not in Gaza, or Haiti)
Now, not only friends, even my younger brother is making me jealous.

He asked me, "What has u done or dissect so far?"
I answered blushingly, "The most i had done, so far, is using that device to check blood glucose level, the one mum has, poke into my own finger, and see my own my blood cells under the microscope".

I really tried to EMPHASISE on the fact that i did a slide on my own blood cells and examine it under the microscope. I'm pretty sure he wont get the chance to do it in school. But me myself wasnt really convinced that examining ur own blood cells is cool, compared to dissecting a living frog!

And of course, the dinner session ended with him laughing his heart out at me saying that even him can teach me to dissect now, and my mum trying to back me up saying she can buy me a living frog from the nearest market for me to dissect. We shall get the equipments from my sister's St John club at school, expertise from my brother, and choloroform from my mum school's lab to anaesthetise the frog. And so, whether or not this self-experiment succeed (which personally i dont think it will), i'll keep my fingers crossed!

Very Illogic!

What is?

Korean dramas laaaa....

Why?

1. The heroin is too cute, too silly, too nice, too naive, too kind hearted, too...........................

2. Even if the heroin is from a poor family, but her clothes are all fashionable, new and stylish.

3. The heroin is always pretty, fresh-looking even after 10 rounds of running on the field. No sweat, no nothing. C-L-E-A-N. Her hair is neat, still straight@curly, no "misplaced" fringe.

4.The heroin can fall asleep ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, still looking pretty, and the hero will always have to carry the heroin to an appropriate sleeping place. =.="

5. The heroin will still look vry pretty even afyer crying her heart out.

6. There will ALWAYS be two heroes, one very kind hearted and warm, and one very cool and stubborn. BOTH will fall for the heroin, but the heroin will ALWAYS fall for the cool and stubborn one.

7.  Either the hero or the heroin will be super-rich while the other is poor @ from a normal family.

8.  The school or univ where the hero or/and heroin attend(s) never conducted any class, nor give sufficient homework or assignments. The characters appear to play, date, and have fun in school. No need to study, no class to attend, no lecturer to be scared off.

9.  If the hero is handsome, all the other girls (the extra actresses) can just stare at the heroes, without feeling ashamed of themselves.

10. There is no such thing as "ashamed" for the heroin. They can do anything they want, it will still appear cute.

11. How come the heroin can prepare a very very cute lunch box for the heroes? Lunch box with cartoon food, decorations and stuff? How do they even thought of the food deco? And know how to do it well when they dont even cook daily in the drama?

And i'm pretty sure there are lots and lots more of illogic scenes in the dramas, but yet the dramas achieved high rating among viewers.
I think this is because everyone knows that whatever happens in the drama, WILL NEVER happen in real life, and to watch these dramas, one are brought to the fantasy land.

Anyone else would like to add illogical scenes in the drama?
