How do you draw the line?

Use a ruler? Nahh

How do you draw the line between Rights to Know and Rights to Privacy? This got to be one of the biggest dilemma in the journalistic field, the grayest zone of all.

I remember last semester, I presented on Ethical Journalism for my final assignment. I have to pick my stand and guess what I chose? "Rights to Privacy". At that moment, I pick that stand to sound a little more ethical. Duh.. I'm presenting on Ethical Journalism People throw me questions and I stood firm for it. Today, I've finally made up my mind. My decision four months ago was right.

It's true that everyone has the right to know. But I have to say certain news doesn't really concern most people or at least it won't really affect a person's life even if they were not alert about certain happenings. As for rights to privacy.. a person and his family's(the subject) life is being placed under the spot light. Imagine how much unwanted attention the family have to face and it might be traumatic for them.

So he made it to the American news, and I can't believe that they actually film his house!! He's a victim and it's harsh for his family too. Give him some space! Are the journalist practicing ethical journalism?I don't know. Thats why I never want to be a journalist though I'm a journalism student. I take privacy very seriously

Amazing Tsuyoshi

Tsuyoshi and CA4LA (pronounced Ka-Shi-La) collab-ed recently. CA4LA is a popular Tokyo-based Japanese hat brand with shops all over Japan. And today, they'll be releasing the very final hat from their Tsu4shi x CA4LA line. The shop only opens at 11am and there are actually people queuing up since 4pm! Imageshack is being uncooperative right now.. So I can't upload pics. Go check it out yourself here Tokyo Fashion.com I want one of those too!

Anyway... what did I do today? I did work on my assignment.. haha but still way behind scheduled. Dayum.. one week more till it dues. Ohh and I bake cupcakes! I have a 'KinKi Kids' and '2pm' cupcake! Gonna eat it tomorrow! heeeee

My Ear's Candy

This morning, I set a target for myself. 400 words is what I ask for. It's 9.07pm right now and guess what's my current progress? 0%! How lazy awesome can I be? Jeez.. I hate it when I'm defeated to my laziness! I don't wanna be like last semester..writing 1000 words in the last 3 days and getting only a Credit for it. :( Someone please remind me that this assignment takes up 60% of my final marks..

Ahh I don't know..are the words I say very hard to understand? or I can't seems to express myself well? or people just don't get me? Is it really because of culture background that affects the interpretation?

He's a bad boy I know, but here I go again oh no!

I hate this feeling la. Whenever I have a major assignment to be completed, I will be very very distracted over something else. Iish.. annoying annoying. Any secret remedies to make me stay focus? Someone help me!!

Anyway,I dyed my hair an hour ago. The result looks pretty okay but it's still to early to judge. This is my 3rd time coloring my hair but the first two times was done in Infinity at One Utama. This time, I decided to opt for a more economical option, which is to dye at home. It's surprisingly fast and easy and the dye I bought was really smell friendly too. I remember having headaches in the saloon due to the chemical smell of the dye. Another good thing about this dye is it comes with a leave on treatment so that your hair won't be damaged badly. In the saloon, the hairstylist will persuade you to go for treatment and it will burn another hole in your pocket.

Hoyu hair dye. My color's not here la~

On another note, I've reached the 800th tweet yesterday! Haha I just can't stop tweeting *sing's Ne-Yo's Closer* Actually it's because I've been spamming people's twitter with silly messages heh.

Strawberry Fields Forever

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Back then in high school, my friends and I always make fun of this biscuit


Why? Cause we find the name very funny unique. Haha I remember Jackie and I bought it and secretly place it inside Kim's bag.
At first I thought it was some European name. After Googling it, I found out that it's actually from Indonesia. and Slai means jam in Indonesian I think?

And yesterday in Isetan, I found the English version of Slai o Lai, Jam o Jam


Slai O Lai's actually quite nice. The strawberry jam filling is a little sweet though. I can get it easily from my university's vending machine and it's cheap hehe. So if anyone wants it, I can buy for you.

But, if you feel like getting a higher class Slai O lai, IKEA has something to offer you.

Singoalla, jam filling biscuits!
I wanted to get this, but my sister bought "Ballerina" instead which is a Hazelnut filling biscuit. Kim told me that it's good! Shall go get it next time


See this choux cream puff? It cost me Rm4.50 you know! It looks so way better in 3D and my phone camera did not do justice for it. I bought it from KLCC's Isetan's Sun Moulin. It taste really good! I like that they use 2 different types of filling inside the puff. It has fresh cream and custard in it! *yum yum* If only they have it in 1utama's Sun Moulin.

Hmm what's with the strawberry post? I like strawberries, but not a HUGE fan of it. But I do like The Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever.

On a random note,
3 months ago, it was my birthday! still June, middle of the year
3 months alter, it will be Taec's birthday December, end of the year!
Can you believe that the year is ending in 3 months and a couple of days time? Time really do flies.

One Drop

Around 11.45, a phone call came in. "Hello, have you all eaten your lunch?" That sounds like heaven to my sister and I. It will sound like a good deal to anyone who plans to eat Indomee for lunch. So Dad picked us up around 12, then went to Mum's office and pick her up and off to KL we go!

I hardly make trips to KL! Not even to Taman Tun which is 10 minutes away from my house. So it was quite an exciting and eye opening experience for me. I shall let the pichas do the talking! Sorry for the low quality pics, it was taken using my phone's camera

In the car, on the way to town


Big Ben? Haha Dataran Merdeka


Jalur Gemilang


"Berkereta jenama negara"


Graffiti


The Bar council with a "Teoh Beng Hock dalam kenangan" banner


A bus that parked half of it's wheel on the walkway


Awesome beef ball noodles for lunch!


Large one for Papa.. and they serve their chili sauce in beer mug haha


If you're wondering where's the beef balls..its at Jalan Yap Ah Loy

There are more pics la..But I'm lazy to upload em all. So I'll stop here. and if you're interested, check my Facebook la. I've upload all of it there.

One last pic to end my KL trip,

It's the hottest time of the day

You guys can ignore the Postcode lottery post. Quite a few people told me that they do not understand it at all. I'm so sorry for posting something so umm un-understandable! My bad for not expressing my thoughts well. It's nothing deep or hard to understand. I guess you have to read that feature to get the point of it.

Anyway..today? When my self winsing watch strikes 12, I'm still not at the journalism lab yet. "Oh no!I'm late!" Quickly, I open the door and was shocked to found out that I was the first. I put down my belongings, march to the washroom, came back and found another class mate in there. By the end of the day, only 7 turned up!! Out of 26 I think.

Yes, today 2pm, officially marks the beggining of my semester break! 2.15pm actually, cause I stayed back and listened to my lecturer's comments on my group's feature on the Penan incident. I hope you guys are aware of what happend in Penan! We were rushing to complete it hence, the flow of it was quite badly done haha.

I realize I play my hair a lot when I'm doing work. Haha it became so messy that my lecturer thought that I was very stressed out. Must be my frowning face la. Some friends complained that I look too serious when they first met me. Anyway, I might go for a hair cut tomorrow! Gonna try another saloon! Hope it turns out well
