englishforeveryone.org - Your Favorite Color

I looked around for writing exercise on the Internet and found englishforeveryone.org ^__^ Yeah, childish, whatever. So, current topic: What is your favorite color? Why?

I like blue. I like white. I like green. I like black. I like rainbow. Sure, the question only asks for one favorite color but I can't make up my mind.

I have no idea why I like blue. I've always been attracted to blue since I was a kid. I like almost all shades of blue especially sky blue or baby blue. Maybe because it's the color of peace, relaxation, clouds or something like that. And maybe that's why I like blue. Strangely, I don't have many blue colored clothes. Most of the blues in my life comes from odd trinkets, household items, bags and other stuff.

I like white because it looks clean and clear, very peaceful and nice to look at. While people seems to think of white as a boring color, I think there are reasons why this so called boring color is very popular and a common color for website backgrounds, building or house walls, and lots of other stuff. It is a very useful color as it complements any color in existence without distracting people from the main color, issue, content, theme, whatever. White also makes things seem to have more space than they actually do. In other words, white is a very hardworking and efficient underdog.

I like green because it's peaceful and relaxing. It's the color of many plants. Like blue, I like almost shade of green but the most peaceful to me is the darker ones. The lighter ones seem to be more playful and fun but still quite innocent and peaceful. Unfortunately I have not much greens in my life except in website templates and diet. Now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing much green items on sales at all, not counting the vegetables and fruits of course.

Black is quite similar to white. They compliment other colors very well but unlike the white that refuse to distract us from other colors, the black forcefully pushes our attention so we cannot do anything but focus on other colors. As a white-collared worker, I can't help but have lots of black clothes as it makes it easy to mix and match lots of clothes. Unfortunately, since I tend to wear black coat or jacket everywhere, people tend to mistake me as a police officers or lawyers.

There's nothing wrong of course being a police officer or lawyer but I don't like it when people are afraid of me because they thought I'm doing inspections (I kid you not, that has happened to me before!) or overcharge me when I'm eating in restaurants just because I look wealthy (again, this has happened to me before. Other people get normal rates). That's why I'm working on getting more jackets in other colors this year to correct this misunderstanding.

Rainbows are cool and a fun mix of many colors. Who wouldn't like rainbows? I think that's why people from all over the world are going crazy over Korean artists right now. Their styles are like rainbows too. Lots of colors and fashion styles mixed together. Very cool and fun, isn't it? I don't have any rainbow-colored items though.

So that's why I like the colors I like :)

Now let see how long this one last....

Alhamdulillah, I'm Still Alive to Celebrate My 2010 Birthday

I wonder if my friends have ever read this blog. Of course, I've never shared with them. I've post the link once or twice on my Facebook but I've never said that it's mine :) So they probably didn't know it's me.

I wonder if any of them have similar interest to mine? I guess I'll never know that answer either since I'm not planning to ask them anytime soon. What's the point? On second thought... they might introduce me to another raw eater... but then again, that's very unlikely in Malaysia and in my circle of friends :P

So I wonder if there is anything significant is going to happen today or this year. It has been eventful so far.

• I got a job interview as a Web Designer early this year. The interviewers like me but I didn't get the job. Even though they wrote it as Web Designer, the actual tasks has nothing to do with designing anything but answering and dealing with customers' inquiries. The product they offers to the market are for males and so the job is more suitable for male candidates.
• A few months later, they called me for a second interview as they need an IT assistant to do research for the boss. I got the job and have a love hate relationship with it. I ended up quitting by choice 3 months later. I figured I would end up insane dealing with a mean boss because I'm not emotionally tough enough to handle the stress. I just don't get it. I guess I'm just not talented enough or suitable to get into this online networking thing.
• I didn't attend my polytechnic convocation ceremony. I... wasn't confident to meet my classmates in my current situation (not successful, not beautiful, nothing great).
• I got an interview for a job in government public sector. The interviewers like me but I felt pressured after the interview and wish that they will not take me. My mom and friends told me that I was really lucky because the questions they asked me during the interviews showed that they are really interested in me and are ready to take me for the job. Strangely, I really hope I don't get it.
• I got offer to USM and didn't take it either because I'm not interested in the course they're offering. I know better now that it's not good to tempt fate. I put that course in my second choice. Mom and others told me that they probably gave me that offer because it's the unpopular course so I automatically got it instead of my first choice. Oh, well..
• I got into an online business. I... have some issues with it so I neglected it for 6 months and so I got nothing to show. I regret it but it's no use crying after spilled milk. So I started getting serious after that. It's almost 2 months now and my effort started showing result.
• Suddenly, I got a reply from the government. I got the job! Erk, I don't want to take it but everyone said I should. I don't wan't to disappoint my mom. I don't have good active or passive income from my part-time online business yet and my mom is the business sponsor so.. I pretty much feel like I have not much voice in this. I guess I have to take it. I really wish I don't have to do that though. I want to stay at home.
• I got heavy and itchy after Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration so I get into Detox Diet or Raw Diet. The experiment took 40 days. On 12 November 2010, the experiment has ended successfully. It's a great learning experience as I get to learn fixing new dishes that are both easy and delicious. I'm sure if it's not for this experiment, I'll never get the opportunity or reason to try them. It's also a great experience of not having bloated stomach, not having to deal with regret after consuming a lot of food, not having cravings are good too, and it's great not having to deal with unnecessary food. Even though I'm now on normal diet, I think I will be back for more Raw Diet soon.

I wonder if Mama Murai has guessed successfully when my birthday is :D hehehe..... Oh yeah, coincidently, it's also Hari Raya Aidiladha today. So..

Happy Celebrating Hari Raya Aidiladha!

Eid al-Adha or "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Isma'il) as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a ram to sacrifice instead. The meat is divided into three parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors, and the other third is given to the poor & needy.
