My lovely Cactus...




Cacti are same as the other plant under the Kingdom Plantae which have basic living components to survive. The difference is the adaptation of these plant to its environment which are grouped as Xerophytes. This means they are different in their structures and some special external features adaptation to the environment to function in living. So they can live in dry and warm condition where there is short water supply because they have developed the xeromorphic features to minimise the water loss through transpiration. Without these features it can't survive in the adverse environment. The xeromorphic features can be described through the design of the structure living things such as the spines to replace the leaf for protection and reduce water loss by reducing the stomata, so the stem will undergo photosynthesis instead of the leafs, the rate of photosynthesis will be reduced also. Others like succulent cylindrical shaped stems to store water in the large vacuoles for months and longer root extend deeply into the soil.

So don't supply too much water espeacially during wet and cold condition to the elder cactus to prevent it from dragging on the floor. They are not necessary putting under the sun but in the bright and dry condition and they can grow up better. So watering the cactus once for every 2 weeks is more than enough and some even 1 months didn't received water supply is still ok, they can grow without proper care, that is why always use for decoration and ornaments. But some cactus need more water...

The cactus can grows to a larger size whenever you change to larger pot and when it becomes so big in size that alter its shape and bent to one side untill a hight that it cannot support its weight just like my cactus, but after sometimes it will lift up the body and back to normal again, so not too much water as to not collapsing the stem itself. So I put my cactus along the fences so they can lie on the fences when they feel tired...:) Cacti have short growing and flowering seasons, so to have a longer life periods and well adaptation to its environment.

Plant a cactus is very easy one, just dig a small hole in the middle pot and put it inside to grow. One thing to be considered when planting a cactus is the type and quality of the soil used. The soil used can't be too hard and soil with rocky is not suitable because it has soft and thin root system which can be easily destroyed by the soil. The soft with tiny sac-like soil is used so that water can pass through easily and also easy for the cactus to absord it. It is better to plant the cactus in the pot not to mix up the hard soil on the ground, but depending on what type of cactus, some can grow with hard soil also... some need more water and some need less.

So for me I like cacti very much because they are easy to handle and not much work to do. It was started by my mom and she believe in feng shui that the cacti can block the inauspicious luck come into the house because of the spines will get rid of the bad luck, but the catci only can put in one side in front of the house because by putting on both sides perhaps the house look like the grave with two lighted candles besides it ... haha for me feng shui is much personal things in belief and much to a field of knowledge and interest. My cactus live for many years already and some becomes so long and some are extremly huge, not going to change the pot as it too long and big. But some are very ugly one which grow up with many small babies besides, and complete for food sometimes.


lox... here are some of my cactus pictures..


The catcus blooming, rarely happen...





I like this cactus because it grow in regular shape and nice spines..




This cactus special a bit, the spines located at the edge of the leaf,
so it needs more water than others because many stomata in the leaf...



This one die liao... the white colour is the blooms that fade away...



This is the tallest one among all my cacti like taipei 101, with fur covering its body... like snowing covering the spines inside.. sometime it cant support its weight.. so the stick beside to hold and uplift it..



The cactus bend and lie on the fences, got tali lagi..



This one I hate de, also need more water because too many liao... look like snakes.. eeee..





This is also weak liao ... see the stem already soft because too high and weak root system..



This have the support from the pot ... very big head




Actually this cactus already bent 90 degree liao .. then I use the stick to make it straight again..
this so weak that mayb not enough water.. the spines very small and short grow on the white spot there, this plant no succulent cylindrical shaped stem also...



Too many in a big pot... flighting for food and mineral salts, some of them are already die ler..

My up-grading test

It was scary that I will be sitting on my organ grade 5 up-grading test tomorrow. Basically not really hard but sometimes need to practice very well especially the selected pieces that are going to performe. It test about few pieces that take time to practice repeatedly, pitch- hearing, also analysis the pattern of the song which is called aural test, sight-reading which I hate the most, and the scale as well. Haiz, I also didn't well prepared as many things need to do and the mid-term exam also draw nearer, so I very scare lolz.. much thinking of how many mistakes I will make still with the fierce examiner's face, handling with the unfamiliar standard organ which extremely big compared to my ones. Haha, so that means tomorrow I can escape classes lol, also friday because feel lazy to go and no party also... ==



so hopefully I can pass my up-grading test then only can proceed into next grade..

Aesthetic & Artistic Art

hoho.. here I am damn bored this few days other than just sick with those tough studies especially chemistry, teacher taught so fast as I'm totally blank in my mind that even some of the easiest question also making me frenzy of that. so seem I have to be here to kill time..

something that I felt that was interesting and also a new things for me, not much, just want to share some art pictures to you that it's really aroused my enthusiasm, my feeling to be an artist.. joking, you know I won't... the pictures is an art of anime, seem nice and attractive.. but this drawing is not copy and paste but is drawn by my cousin using Paint".. Adui, in my mind paint really a useless things that you use it as you really so free at that time and nothing else to do with.. so it's impossible for me to come out such a drawing by solely using paint.. Till at a time my cousin shared his art with me and I felt excited as if it's was drawn using other programme. Then, I asked him to teach me the skills of drawing by applying the curves tool in the tools panel and only you can make out the shape of your drawing object.. so I attempted countless time but since my temper has its limit so I had tried to give up on that time .. But lastly then I know how its function to draw a simple curves, get practice and practice till somehow slightly familiar with it .. seem feel incompetent to myself, expectation of something that is out of range .. ..

Then I started my first drawing, at first I feel confident to start a curve and I used almost the whole night to finish my drawing . I doubt to myself, exactly the outcome was bad.. ohh! haha urgly drawing seems to be but as it's was best for me.. lazy to change and modified it, merely just imitated my cousin drawing and it was depressed me.. haha, so no more for artist now and just be a good boy to study ..phiew
it's just brought up the attractive degree to me for a few days then drown eventually.

don't know you like it or not but it's very seductive art for me by just using a simple tools..







>>> This drawing by using paint, before getting some
modification.. I only got from him this two only..










>>> After making some modification, not
much, but second one become slightly
blur.. haha









I dunno who draw this ler.. haha (I am so naive bha)
by the way feel sorry as it was so blur.. haha.. better
not to be clear...

Chocolate Aid MemoRy...

well, today Fazalli has brought some boxes of chocolates from kl to school, we finished it very fast to satisfy our hunger.. ohh, I saw teo, jason so want of that and chin also playing with the chocolate since its shape is weird.. actually what is on my mind is that the intake of chocolate should be lessen because it can rotten your teeth and the excessive of energy boosting to our body will warm up the body which might disrupt the metabolic activities.. bad views though but the good side is more worth knowing..

Recently the nutritionist has conducted an experiment that involving hundred persons to prove that the chocolate benefit the brain as well as the memory.. I'm not so sure about the experiment procedures sound likes they are required to fullfill the task by remembering some of the words in numbers, this is to test them their effectiveness of their fast responses rate towards the task given, espeacially those involving headache calculating methods. Then, nutritionist found that those who consume chocolate* before the exp has the faster reaction and responses and can memorise much of the words.. indeed chocolate is said the causes of headache as it contain some vasoactive amines dilating the brain blood vessels.. but dun take it too much! it will dilate the blood vessel and increases the blood flows in your brain, you brain will be refresh as it received more O2. This will help to aid to last long our memory and also useful when we are doing some tough question involving calculation. Additionally, it also can vitalizing your brain when you feel tired..

haha, so i think i will buy bundles of chocolates and be ready to eat when I am really sick with those insane calculation... instead I feel better today during maths lessons after consuming the revival dose as I could easily understand and remember what teacher has taught.. haha sounds like :)

Anyway chocolate really benefits us but take it with small proportion...

Dota & Me ...

Dota is not a flighting game like what you have seen in ps game but it is all about teamwork, strategy applied and your reaction at the moment towards the opponent player. A gaming comprising heroes with different stats are intelligence, agility and strength. So different items to buy for different heroes depending on their stats required. One gaming only eligible with maximum 10 players, so if our friends are more than 5 then need to play sp (shuffle) or private game, sometimes it is really headache for this small matter. Most of us so want to kill more that each kills which is continuous without dying will deserve a higher ranking. It is really excited to keep on shouting and joking when winning a game or may be just killed one. But if losing is another way round. We will keep on blaming each other even a small mistake.. haha, but actually we are not that small gas" actually. Before when I was started playing this game i felt very angry when losing a game and annoying with the way they talk, but after sometimes I felt ok... it's just a game and I also can learnt in dota.. Dunno why I can easily remember the difficult word or the word that even didn't know how to pronounce properly but not in my bio.. In the past I always like to use Agility hero because they have high amor and attack damage and the inte hero I hate the most. But now inte hero is my favourite hero, I mean for some only such as Slayer, Queen of Pain and so on. By the way Agility hero also quite nice.. Strength hero need to be a tanker so I dun like that.. hha need scarify yourself.. Now I already form 6 so I lessen to play dota or other game.. sometimes jason, sam they always ask me to play since now there is a cheaper place to go that just besides the open uni.. They called the peaksss... haha. Even samson is willing to fecth me and jes to play but just only awhile la... So want!!! haha, jason only can play with us through gg ... haha sad kids staying in the island. His line also very bad one. haha... By the way I think I will play non-stop, overnight after my stpm.. :)

There are 2 hero which I like the most currently .. maybe next time will change. I know not so clear on that pictures because I just take it rushly so next time will have a better one.





hahah, my favourite agility hero, Mirana Nightshade, only active at night(actually not).. all of the 4 skills can be use and I like to arrow skill the most..






my favourite intelligence hero, Lina Inverse or Slayer (modified version).. actually she's not that cool but she can really fired.. Laguna, her ultimate skill that caused about 1250 damage at the highest...

STPM came out ...

I am so sad about the Stpm result came out yesterday that our school standard has gone down. I read the newspaper said the student obtain 4 A was decreases and in fact it decreases half of the number compared with previous year.. omg, now my turn and I am very nervous that too many syllabus need to cover within 1 & 1/2 year times. Hopefully the paper for this year will be easier. The government has proposed to change the exam system by the year 2010 as they said it was not suitable for student to sit for the only exam with 1 go and also will build the college just for Stpm student. Hopefully this can be go on soon otherwise really insane the syllabus. Today Muet class also quite funny as some people who say he has no any interest at all! That was shock me as I asked he said something to talk about. But after few second, he realiazed what is his interest, omg.. I have to clarify here that Chin" has at least 1 interest.
u knw wht's his interest... haha

Salad taste good !!

Have you ever try the salad when you go for pizza .. feel healthy with all kind of vegetables and fruits with salad. Sighed as a small dish was served and too costly.

So, this high of my salad when I go for pizza, but sometimes feel weird as there was lots of star* looking at me!! Haha.. depending on condition.

Some strategy for me to take to this high. I always use the retangular shape of cucumbers to make like a wall surrounding the dish as the base, and with the circular shape of green chillies as the tip covering the beans inside. Some of the people can take even higher than this. Worth it as we say hui ben...




>> Delicious ..


>> I eat this for free, do you believe?
