Katrina's fault?

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Louisiana coast on Monday with 224 kph winds as the powerful storm came ashore from the Gulf of Mexico and took aim at low-lying New Orleans.

The coast, much of it lightly populated swamps, was being pounded with high winds and heavy rains while New Orleans, 88 km northeast, braced for the worst of Katrina.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm, now Category 4 on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, was not quite the monster it had been in the open Gulf, but still packed a powerful punch. It had been a Category 5 with 280 kph winds.

In New Orleans, wind gusts had already topped 135 kph, well above hurricane force, and the powerful center of the storm was still two to three hours away, the center said.

Even into early Monday, Louisiana highways were thick with traffic as residents sought safety as far away as Texas, 425 km to the west.

"The only thing I was worried about was the water. We don't worry about no wind," said Cray Bruce as he stopped for gas in Crowley, Louisiana, 260 km west of New Orleans.

The winds shook street signs, whipped trees about and knocked out electricity in some areas, but streets were largely abandoned after officials said at least 1 million people fled the storm.

Weather forecasters said Katrina may veer just east of New Orleans and head toward neighboring Mississippi, where strong winds were already building.

In Baton Rouge, officials said three people from a New Orleans nursing home had died during their evacuation to a Baton Rouge church. They said they were among nearly two dozen people from the home who were on a bus stuck in traffic for hours during the 125 km trip.

NEW ORLEANS IN DANGER

Weather experts had warned of a possible storm surge as high as 28 feet, enough to damage or destroy thousands of homes and leave 1 million people homeless.

New Orleans is nearly surrounded by water, including Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi, and about 70 percent of it lies below sea level, protected only by a series of levees.

Mayor Ray Nagin, who ordered a mandatory evacuation, warned the predicted storm surge could push water over the levees and flood the city, including its historic French Quarter.

Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu said 26,000 people had taken shelter in the Superdome, a giant, enclosed stadium near the French Quarter.

"Please Pray for New Orleans" read a giant hand-painted sign, appearing to sum up the fears that had seized the city known as the Big Easy for its relaxed life and party atmosphere.

New Orleans has not been hit directly by a hurricane since 1965 when Hurricane Betsy blew in, flooding the city. The storm killed about 75 people overall.

Katrina was making its second U.S. landfall after striking southern Florida last week, where it caused widespread flooding and seven deaths.

As Katrina plowed through the Gulf of Mexico, oil companies shut down production from many of the offshore platforms that provide a quarter of U.S. oil and gas production.

At least 42 percent of daily Gulf oil production, 20 percent of daily Gulf natural gas output and 8.5 percent of national refining capacity was shut on Sunday, producers and refiners said.

U.S. oil futures jumped nearly $5 a barrel in opening trade to touch a peak of $70.80. The rise in oil prices fed through to other financial markets, hurting stocks and the dollar on fears that economic growth might be curtailed but boosting safe havens such as government bonds and gold.

i took this news report from the star website. all the while i'm not concern about what is happening in the international and world. because i feel that there is nothing related to me.
but now i just feel that we should not be so ignorant.
things that happening around the world, around us is very very crucial.
the price of cruel oil has increase to 70USD per barrel. increase of 5USD within the day.
i also feel the heat.
i realised that the pay is not enough.
what can i do to help myself?
i'm still wondering...
eventually i expect myself to fail my 3.6 paper.
i'm thrilled that i've pass that paper.

no need to say/ feel sorry to miss chin.
still remember that she really take good care of us.
but i do really think that i just ignore the paper.
then at the end i ended up regreting i'm not paying much attention on the paper.

i've prepared myself for the referal of paper 3.6
and i even bought those card to start writing the short notes,
to enable me to get more prepared and ensure that i would definately pass for my acca exam next sitting.

but only god knows what is going to happened.
so now my cards are lying there.
i still do not know what's their purpose.
maybe i'll know what to do with my cards after i finished tidy my house.

it has been a long long time since i last blog.
i wanted to blog wat i see and wat i feel.
but eventually i have too many other things to do rather than to blog.
so i ended up not blogging.

blogging is just like i journal for myself to see how much i've changed and how much that i have grown.

results of acca came out last monday.
i've pass.
cant believe it.
why?
because i'm expecting to refer one paper that is the 3.6 paper.

now that i've pass i can share my happiness with all my friends.
but i'm still very very busy.
not enough time to go to look for them
and annother reason is they are all studying in uk

on the other hand,
looking at those friends who din make it for their acca exam.
i just feel sorry for them.
and also do not know what other words that i can say to express how i feel towards them.

feel luckily that i do pass one go for my acca.
because i do really invest a lot of money on the examination for part 3 of acca.
buying all the ftc books (but in fact i rarely use it)
and also taking tuition and revision class at ftms, mc orange.

looking backwards at those times,
i remember that my dad always scold me that i always go watch movie and go out and not to study at all.
but i still remember the one month of intensive study in the tar college library.
(but it seems that i'll always lepak to the office and kacao the staff in the office but they do not seems to like to peduli me back then)

now the most important thing that i wanna do is to go back to tar to visit my lectures.
to tell them how thankful i feel.
that i have thier very very good guidance and support.

i still cant really contact miss chin,
because i feel that maybe she had changed her phone number.
i really wanna tell her thank you.
thanks for her concern towards me.
thanks for reminding me not to pay too much attention towards to job of the printing manager.
thanks for always nagging us.
although i never prepare for her tutorial class, but she never really scold me.
thanks miss chin.
finally today there is somebody who came to check about the internet and network connection at my group's office.
it is very very difficult that i do not have internet connection.
if there is no internet connection,
i have to 'ma fan' other people for many many other things.

hoping that the internet connection would be ready by monday bah.
hoping that everything would be smooth.
hoping that everything would be good.

pray that things would get better and better.
have not been blogging for a long long week.
had experienced a lot and a lot of things trough out the week.

realised that it is different when you work and when you are studying.

currently i'm working in an accounting or better known as a tax firm.
name? erm... everyone who knows me well might have know where i'm working already.
so not to disclose here.

i started working last wednesday and today is amost the 8th day i working in the office.
i started to get used to the things that are in the office.
i started to get used to the ways people do things.

i wonder what would you do if your superior is a very very tedious person.
the little little mistake they would pin point it out and ask you to correct it.
erm.. maybe this is to maintain the professionalism of the office bah.

but luckily i have a good group leader.
she is very very dedicated, sometimes she seems like the mom of the group.
and she is those gals who are very very thin.
in the sense that she seems like she do not need the help of those sliming product also she can stay very very slim.

most of the gals in my group are all very slim also.
being the gal who is quite plump sometimes i feel i do really ergently need to slim down.

sometimes its like walking around a maze in the office.
and you might get tired because it is so ma fan that you need to swap in and out every time you walk in and out of the office.

and there is also the secret for opening and closing the door for the toilet of my office.
the office toilet is always locked.
i think this is because they need to prevent anything bad form happening around the office gua.

in the office i can also find a lot of senior form tar.
and the best thing is i can find SMPian as well.
there are definately more gals than guys in the firm.

yesterday i saw my basic and malaysian tax lecture mr kwek in the office.
eventually my friend told me she saw him as well.
but she was kindda upset because he did not recognised her as his student.
mr kwek might be working in our firm too?
erm.. good question.
i also not sure about it.

today finally i've got my staff code.
i do not know whether is i do not have the guts.
i do not know whether is it i have the internet connection.
seems that it is very very troublesome.
have to 'ma fan' other people everytime i need to do something.

start to learn to be independent.
start to learn how to do things nicely.
start to do things faster.
start to be nice to other people.

Amber Chia Malaysia's top model

if you do not know who is Amber Chia...
i would consider you are kindda out of trend.
she is Malaysia's top model aka Malaysia Lin chi Lin.
hope you all like this model..;)
do you know how it is like for a firm who is rushing for the tax dateline?
do you know what does it mean by racing with the time?
do you know what and how's it's like to be a new staff in the company?

what is the feeling of noticing the poeple around you that are busy but you are the one who is really really free.

working in an tax firm you are due to work until very very late?
you have to spend your time to stay back and do all the undone work why?
because you are inefficient?
or because you are too hardworking therefore you cannot finished the work.
Quote for the day:
"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want."

-- Margaret Young

The formula for success is Be, Do, Have. If we seek abundance, we must be abundant in spirit. We can begin to cultivate spiritual wealth by opening our hearts in gratitude.

Start a gratitude journal today. Each evening, write down at least 5 things for which you are grateful. This simple tool will help you open your eyes to the abundance of your world right now.

"Who does not thank for little will not thank for much."

-- Estonian proverb


let me start my first gratitude journal.
1. thanks my dad for sending me to the office and taking me home.
2. thanks my dad for preparing my lunch (which is still in my bag since i'm not dare to eat it during the lunch as everyone is starving)
3. thanks to my mom for preparing the dinner for me and the family
4. thanks to the uncle at the filing room of DKC for exchanging the spoilt stapler
5. thanks to the person who looked at the little note i wrote when i'm waiting for my dad to come and fetch me last nite. (reminding me in the office there is private and confidential and everyone and anyone can look at things that you have done from time to time)
6. thanks to the people who talk to me or even smile at me...
7. thanks for my group member who try to ask me to help then even they know that i can't ofer them much help.
8. thanks to my group leader who i thinks she din go back last nite to meet the filling date. why? because she still have to take care of me in the event that she is so busy.
the air quality is getting worst
last time during my secondary, we would always hope that the haze would be so terrible that we do not need to go to school.

now it had become a reality.
kids need not go to school due to the haze problem which occur recently.

the problem is regardless of whether we are going out.
the problem is concerning health of every people around kl.

just drink more water and do not stay outdoor if there is not necessary

just have a big pimple today.
do not know why.
maybe is because of the weather
or maybe is because of the presure.
no more nite cat, no more yam cha,
no more watching repeat shows on astro until late nite

have to go back to those life like the secondary school.
have to wake up early have disiplin.

how's my EQ?

Your EQ is

107

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

happy and cheerful always forget about sorrow and sadness.
sorrow and sadness is always alone.

there would be sunshines after the rain when the rain stops.
there isn't any sunshines after the rain because it is night time;
or there is annother rain for coming ahead.

if there is still rain after the rain stop,
let's put our hands together and pray for the sunshine and rain would come evenly and would not bring any great disaster to mankind and the earth.

if there is sorrow and sadness after you are sorrow and sad,
please think about those people who are suffering from disease and war,
think about those who are homeless and ill,
lend a helping hand to them,
used the time you feel to be sorrow and sad to help them.
you will find your happiness and joy.

seperationg is just the preparation of annother meeting on the journey of our life.

what if we would never meet again in the journey of our life?
just pray to god that we would meet at neverland when we are out of all our suffering and disease.

you might found a new page in your journey of searching
searching the meaning of life.
learn how to let go.
learn how to stop the conversasion inside your head
learn how to stay positive.
what and how do you feel when:-

a guy suddenly tell you that
'know only i know what's true love is....'
then you ask further..
the guy replied....
'something happened....'

haha.. is the guy kena electric syok?
or kena a gal's electric syok?

let me observe more and write more next time.
just feel that i'm lost.
feel that i've locked myself up inside somewhere myself never notice where is it.
wanna find out what's the reason i've locked myself up.
wanna find out where i've locked myself up?

just feel that i cannot find myself.
just feel that i'm just a puppet in this world.
just feel that living is not for myself.

questioning what's the purpose of being in this world?
question why things happened this way?
questioning why things do not happened the other way around?
questioning what is the purpose of life

feel that i'm in the mist
figuring the way out of the maze that i've created for myself.

should i be brave?
where is my courage?
why i'm locked?

maybe i should listen to some music
calm myself down.
figure how and where is the way out of the maze
instead of panicing
鱼对水说你看不到我的眼泪,因为我在水里.水说我能感觉到你的眼泪,
因为你在我心里.

you are the fish and i'm the water.

记住该记住的,
忘记该忘记的。
改变能改变的,
接受不能改变的

sometimes we should act as what our heart tell us.
what do you want?
what do you want?
sometimes you have to give up.
when you are marching on the same spot over and over again,
you would rarely discover what is your weakness.
you would never notice whether you have any improvement.

sometimes i just feel that if you are putting yourself in a box,
you might think that you are secured in your comfort zone.
and maybe towards the end,
your box might be getting smaller and smaller and you might not be able to break through the comfort zone.

as time passes by, you might get bored of your comfort zone, however you might be scared of the unknown outside the confort box and you might have a lot of complaints and dislike about the environment that you are in however,
it might be difficult for you to break through the confort box.

sometimes it is depend on your attitude.
whether you are open enough to accept other's opinion.

i'm learning to be a person who is willing to accept the opinion of others.
i'm learning to be a person who is willing to be critisied.
i'm learning to be a person who is a bit indirect.
i'm learning to be myself but in a better and improved way so that my friends and people around me would not get hurt or affected because of the action that i've done.
成长的路上
我们都曾经执迷过
挥霍青春
却不曾后悔
taken from my friends blog.

sometimes we wanna do things we have the will to complete it.
but sometimes we give up early.
sometimes after many many years when you look back at what had you done what and how would you feel?

sometimes there are things that we are afraid of.
sometimes sometimes we have to realised that things that we are afraid of are actually nothing.. and we should not have the fear of doing those things.
fear is just something that come from your heart and your mind
sometimes in life there are always regret.
but i remember the cima lecture clement said that at the very moment the decision is made, the decision is always your best decision available.
i do believe that there should be no regrets in life because you only live once.
no matter how much you regret time would turned back.


my friend told me she regreted she took the wrong package for the convo photo.
and she wanna confirm with me again the package and stuff.
sometimes when we realised that we made the wrong move we would not blame ourself.
we would blame the people and things around us.
we would start telling the victim story.

actually in fact we are the victim of what we choose to do.
whether we wanna live as a live of a victim or a person who is full with happinest,
it's depend on whatever we are choosing.

i believe that if it is to be, it's all up to me.
it's not up to other people.
對的時間,遇上對的人,是一生幸福;

對的時間,遇見錯的人,是一場心傷;

錯的時間,遇到錯的人,是一段荒唐;

錯的時間,遇到對的人,是一聲嘆息。

read this on a website think that it's meaningful so i post it here

translated:-
meet the right person at the right time is happiness
meet the wrong person at the right time is an heart break
meet the wrong person at the wrong time is crazy and nuts
meet the right person at the wrong time is a sound of sigh

原谅

原谅
也许有些人很可恶,有些人很卑鄙
而当我设身为他想象的时候,我才知道:他比我还可怜。。。
所以请原谅所有你见过的人,好人或者坏人。

i've taken it from bee's site...
thinks it's meaningful and suitable for me to ponder...
