Picture of the week- Racism

 My skin colour(left) and my mom's skin colour(right)

      This would probably be the most personal blog that I am posting for my school project. I was born a Muslim(not that i wanted to, I was just born into this world as a Muslim) and was thought a lot of religious stuff. What is right and what is wrong. However , I came from a Chinese , Portuguese , Siamese and Javanese bloodline.

 I recently had the most heartbroken thing that has ever happened in my entire life. I broke up with my girlfriend due to my race and religion. She is a wonderful and cheerful Chinese girl when i first met her. I am not very religious at all to be honest. I entertained her, she wanted to eat at a non-halal sushi place as she is craving for sushi and I compromised for her. I did a lot of things that was wrong in my religion with her. I sacrificed a part of my religion that made me who I was just to make her happy.

She was the one who fell in love with me first and now she has left me with the excuse "I can't see myself being with a malay." What does that mean?

In conclusion, I hate racism.

Life - Empathy / Sympathy

So , in class with Mr Ezzam , we had a gathering where some of us opened up to the whole class, telling each of everyone their problems. Tears were shed on that day. Many were emotionally affected , including me myself. Some of my classmates were bullied when they were young , some were neglected and some was unaccepted by the society. I felt empathy. I believe that is what empathy meant. Feeling with someone , understanding what they are going through and stepping into their shoes.

Sympathy is on the other hand , giving a helping hand to the victim. He may not experienced what the victim experienced first-hand but they understood how the victim felt. They understands what is going on and gave a helping hand. Trying to comfort them and not make them feel very down . Trying to bring the victim back to his/her feet. Making them realise that everything is not over, and life goes on.

False Relationship - Shark Tank

Shark Tank Episode Finale - Alpha M.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KilBoMFrkZA

The person who is asking for the Shark's help is none other then one of the most famous youtube influencer in style , grooming , fashion , fitness and anything to do , for a man to be an alpha male , Aaron Marino , asking for a $100,000 for 10% of his business of Pete and Pedro.

The episode was recorded when Alpha M only has a about 600,000 followers on his youtube social media. Now, he has almost 2,000,000 Subscribers !


In the Shark Tank episode , Alpha M needed help in growing his business for Pete and Pedro , a brand that he created himself , for Hair products and cream.  Aaron has tried many and multiples hair products brands that "guarantees will work" but it doesn't. Most of the products he uses are a disappointment and thus , he wanted to create a product that would work for a majority of people , thus , Pete and Pedro.

So he gave each of the Sharks a sample, they smelt it , touched it , and were not impressed. None of the Sharks were impressed. They didn't see the value in the product . However , they some something else , the potential of Aaron Marino and his social media. They tried to buy Aaron Marino and Pete and Pedro together , saying that Pete and Pedro is not worth that $100,000 for 10% and offered Aaron and Pete and Pedro together as whole combining these 2 businesses , hence the false connection.

At this point , Aaron didn't know what to do , He needed help for Pete and Pedro , not his youtube channel . Although he made a deal with one of the Sharks , Barbarra , in the episode , he rejected her offer of buying his channel after the whole episode. He made a video talking about what happened after Shark Tank.

In the end , he rejected ALL the shark tanks offer as the False Connection is too heavy to marry together . However ! He totally killed the episode , boosting his sales for Pete and Pedro. Shark Tanks  didn't buy Pete and Pedro , the consumer who watched Shark Tank did. Most of his products are out of stocks and Pete and Pedro name rose.

Even if he did not get the Shark's helps , he did succeed.

  I am Officially a Panda!!

I just started working as a food deliveryman at foodpanda on a sunday morning as an OJT (on job training) getting paid only 25$ flat. I didn't like spending my 4 hrs and wasting petrol while just accompanying another rider on his delivery (although i learnt a lot from collecting food to transaction with the customer) for just $25 ! My 4 hours is not worth $25 ! So , I decided to ask the manager of the day whether there was a slot in the afternoon , and i was delighted to hear that there is a 5 hour slot on that exact evening.

I geared up and with the training thought by my senior rider , i set off for the delivery. The pay is very, very high . The highest pay i received while working as a part timer in other shops and company. It was very very tiring but i racked up about $140 that day. It was all worth it I guess. I can spend my whole day with my bike while getting money? I'm on ! Will probably stay in Foodpanda for a very long time.

Asmira is the winner by vote from my whole group. Personally , even if Asmira has the best works , she has missing post , thus her work is incomplete. I personally believe Audy is the best amongst them as she does her work , her work is complete , and she met most of the requirements , just that her works are slightly boring.

How does it feels to have power for critics?

I've been criticised and also critics others before. As we are pursuing art, we will be hearing a lot of criticism be it , constructive or destructive criticism. I believe critics are a way for us artists to learn the minds of others. However, how we handle this criticism is another matter. We could be making a perfectly sculpted sculpture but still get critics from other , like "The nose is too big".  We shouldn't be mad or sad and get pissed at that person. It could be a matter of perspective. Ask him to look differently, at a different angle. Ask him to visualise and think how we artists try to portray our

arts. 

If we are unskilled and still developing, criticism are a way for use to grow , understand our mistakes and also learn that life does not revolves around you. Other peoples are living in this world and each and every individual has different taste and thoughts.

How does it feel to have power for critics ? I feel that I'm helping others whether they want to give a ear , or not.

  My cat

  Meet my fluffy cat ! Her name is Putri ( Princess ) given to my mother but my family members called her PutPut cause cute mah. Not sure what is her age now but my family received her when I was in secondary school. I believe it was when I was in lower secondary. So , she is probably 8 years old i guess.

 A cousin of mine used to breed cats and her cats used to make more cats and out came 2 adorable kittens. One was greyish , white and the other was black like me. And we took the black one cause we black. So here she is now. A new family member and grew with us when we took her when she was like few months old.

 She is now fat , violent , abusive , controlling and basically a princess. We are a slaves and had to feed her every hour. Fat PutPut.
