Since long ago, many scientists have done researches on possibility of life on Mars and this planet becomes our target to be human being habitat. It is speculated by them that the similarities between earth and Mars in some properties become the reason why Mars targeted to be our new habitat as earth is getting older and sick day by day.
By the mid-19th century, knew that Mars have some similarities to earth such as the length of a day is nearly equal to how long is one day on earth. It is believe that Mars also have four seasons just like the earth does. Unfortunately, the period of a year is a little bit longer than a year on earth as the orbit of the Mars is longer than earth. So, a baby on Mars has to wait longer to celebrate his first day. The observations by the astronomer on surface of Mars show the existence of water on darker region of the planet and land on the brighter side. It seems a good news for us as it shows how compatible Mars for our lives.
Spectroscopic analysis of Mars' atmosphere began in earnest in 1894, when U.S. astronomer William Wallace Campbell showed that neither water nor oxygen were present in the Martian atmosphere By 1909 better telescopes and the best perihelia opposition of Mars since 1877 conclusively put an end to the canal theory.
The photographs taken by the Mariner 4 probe in 1965, showed an arid Mars without rivers, oceans or any signs of life. Further it revealed that the surface (at least the parts that it photographed) was covered in craters, indicating a lack of plate tectonics and weathering of any kind for the last 4 billion years. The probe also found that Mars had no protective magnetic field, meaning that intense UV radiation makes the planet extremely hostile to life as we know it. The probe was also able to calculate the atmospheric pressure on the planet to be between 4 and 7 millibars, meaning that liquid water could not exist on the planet's surface. After Mariner 4, the search for life on Mars changed to a search for bacteria-like living organisms rather than for multicellular organisms, as the environment was clearly too harsh for these.
Observations made in the late 1990s by the Mars Global Surveyor confirmed the suspicion that Mars, unlike Earth, no longer possessed a substantial global magnetic field, thus allowing potentially life-threatening cosmic radiation to reach the planet's surface. Scientists also speculate that the lack of shielding due to Mars's diminished global magnetic field helped the solar wind blow away much of Mars's atmosphere over the course of several billion years.
No Mars probe since Viking has tested the Martian soil directly for signs of life. NASA's recent missions have focused on another question: whether Mars held lakes or oceans of liquid water on its surface in the ancient past. Scientists have found hematite, a mineral that forms in the presence of water. Many scientists have long held this to be almost self-evident based on various geological landforms on the planet, but others have proposed different explanations—wind erosion, carbon dioxide oceans, etc. Thus, the mission of the Mars Exploration Rovers of 2004 was not to look for present or past life, but for evidence of liquid water on the surface of Mars in the planet's ancient past.
So, it is enough to prove that Mars can be our next habitat since earth no longer able to provide us lives. As people keep on destroy this earth, it seems to me that the Mars couldn’t wait for our presence there.Killme;

As the world getting older, technology moving a step ahead and it gives human being both benefit and bad effects to us. Communication is something that born from the development of technology the moment computer was created; it was the beginning of new era of communication. No more birds used to send people’s letter and smoke to announce something important. There are many mediums of communications available nowadays and I believe many of us know about it.
Internet is the most important medium as many of us prefer to use it than go buy a newspaper because it much easier and interesting. Just at the tip of our fingers, everything will appear in front of us. I mean on the monitor. The latest news, what happen to the world today, and even what happen to our country and many of us use community website like friendster, my space and many other websites to keep in touch with our friends because it saves money and time. The using of e-mail also enables us to contact with many people all over the world even at different side of the world. Everyone can be our friend, but I’m not sure about alien because we are not really sure if they also have the internet. Sometimes, people love to misuse this facility and browse something that not good such as pornography because the internet don’t have the limits of information available. And it’s up to us to choose website that good for us.
Television also a good medium of communication as it broadcasted across the country and region. Unfortunately, compare to the internet, it is limited to the existence of coverage of the satellite. Sometimes, the signal is too weak and it make some of us don’t get the coverage. But in terms of information, television give us safer information as the contain of the information is suitable for all group of people. News also delivers in more interesting way and updated every second. But sometimes, some of the channel is not suitable for particular group because it is quite unsuitable for them and that’s why some station classified the programmed they provided. As example, 18SX for something that suitable for people under age because it contains sex scene and things like that.
Telephone is the most popular device as every one of us can afford to buy one. Hand phone become the most important device that we must bring every where because without it, it is difficult to contact each other. It is the fastest way to get connected to our friend with just the press of the keypads, we can send message to our friends and family. Cheer them up and tell how much we care about them. We can also contact them even when we are in another country but compare to internet, using hand phone cost more money because no money, no talk. That’s what my friend told me once.
To sum up, the development of technology enable us to communicate each other and it also make our life easier. But, make sure we use it for the right things. We are wise enough which is the best for us and sometimes, things that we like is not always good for us. Just think about it.Killme;

Mind mapping is not a new thing for us. Many of us had been exposed to this way of learning since in their primary school where teacher love to give notes by using this method. Actually, there are many more we can do with it in our daily life. It’s not just for our study but it involved everything. Can you believe it can be used to plan our birthday party or even to cook? So I am going to tell you more about the usage of mind map.
One good usage of mind map in our daily life is to construct our note for self-study. Actually, many of us have done it before. I guess, because it is so easy to construct and easy to read. It’s not necessary to make a beautiful one but a complete and simple note is okay. Many subjects is compatible in using this method such as Calculus, Chemistry, even history and some of us use it to understand more on poem. It help student to understand on a particular chapter easier because the note is written so beautiful compared to read book. I am very sure for those who not really interested to read every page in the text book will interested to read mind map. Am I right?
Another usage of mind map is to make a decision in our life. Most of the time, we get confuse on which decision to take in our life when there’re many choices in our life. The moment we see there’re RM2700 in our account (Well, I don’t get my allowance yet…), many things appear in our head and we tend to buy everything either it’s necessary or not. So, by using mind map, it’s easier to see which one is necessary to buy or not because wasting money will cause suffer in the end. I know it because it happened many times to me.
Mind map can be used in our presentation. It’s annoying to see the presentation full of words because for me, it’s just another waste of time. Mind map can drag me out of bored because the points are link so beautiful and systematically. For those who involve in business are recommended to use this method to deal with their partner because the usage of systematic way will attract people attention during conference or meeting with their partner. For student who always make presentation during class, using this method will impress their teacher and also avoid their friends from fall asleep because talk to much is boring.
To sum up, it’s worth to use this method. You have nothing to lose but a great way to present our idea. Just give it a try and you will know why.Killme;

Talking about this topic is too stereotype for me because it had been discused since long ago. But after I watched The Ice Age : The Meltdown, I think it's better for me to open my mouth and talk about it. Maybe many of us don't take this problem seriously but if we are lucky enough to feel the hot of atmosphere, maybe some of us stop using dangerous gases that listed as air polutant. Greenhouse can be defined as process in which the emission of infrared radiation by the atmosphere warms a planet surface. It occurs when the sun rays that reaches earth surfaces can't be reflected back to outer space and stuck in our atmosphere. As a result, the temperature is increase and effects our lives. There are many gases that we recognised as greenhouse gases that become the reason why many parts of the world feeling hotter than the first day the earth was created by God. The main gases that reduces the content of oxygen are chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), carbon dioxide in methane that come from most of our home stuffs and machines.The most dangerous gas is CFC that come from machine that produces cold air like refrigerator and air-conditioner. When this gas release to the air, it cause ozone layer become thick and ultraviolet rays which is very dangerous to human being will easily enter our atmosphere. As a result, many people got skin cancer and many other disease that dangerous to us. Besides, the ocean level will increase because the ice at the South and North pole melting just like what we saw in Ice Age 2. It can be predicted, the world will face big flood and there will be no lives on earth.Futhermore, carbon dioxide is another gas that dangerous to our atmosphere. Methane that contains carbon and hidrogen in the fuel. When a hidrocarbon experience combusion, the carbon dioxide will release to the air. As a result, it trapped the heat that come from sun rays. Finally, the temperature is hotter during summer. That's what happened to many four seasons recently. People go out from thier home to get more cold air. We call this phenomenon as global warming and we know how dangerous it to our lives.Industrial activities that rapidly become the most important activities since Industrial Revolution in Europe long ago also can be the cause for this phenomenon. The gases that release from this activities such nitrous oxide also will harm our atmosphere.This gas has the ability to combined with water in the cloud and form the gas that cause acid rain. This phenomenon is really dangerous as it can cause errosion to human being and building. I'm afraid if someday great landmark like Kuala Lumpur Tower and seven world wonder missing from its place. As a result, the next generation won't be able to see these greatness. So, I want to conclude that, we have to reduces the usage of those dangerous gases and find another alternatives if we want to live longer. It's important to get develop but how come the most helpful element to human being since ancient time get forgotten. Just think if there's no place for us to live.Killme;

Pressure is something normal for working person. It maybe because so much work have to be done and the deadline is around the corner. I'm very sure everyone of us at least once used to be in this situation where everything is so stress and pain. Sometimes, pressure lead to serious action like commit suicide where a person can't stand the pain. So, we have to do something before our pressure cause a problem like that.
One good way is massage. Sitting a lot while doing our work will make our muscel tired and this is one of the reason pressure attacked our brain. It is the easiest way to do because everyone of us can do it eveywhere and everytime we stress. We can do it by apply pressure on the part that experienced pain and also motion on the body. Sometimes, people use equipment that can help releave the pain. One example is chair massage. Many people used this equipment because it contact most of our body part. Massage can release our pressure because the muscles that threat during massage are connected each other. So, pressure in our brain will be reduced. Listening to the music is a good way to release our pressure and I believe this is the best way to overcome it. Once we listening music, the harmonic melody will help to relaxing our mind. Just experience how the finger tip of Beethoven and Mozart bring us out of pressure zone. Also, try listening to the vibration of Kenny G saxophone with his romantic rhythm. You will find how beautiful the music created for human being and help to bring happiness for us.
Another way is watch or hear something that makes you smile and the better is laugh. Many pople admit that laughter is the best medicine. Watching comedy or sitcom will help a lot. Sometimes people read funny story on the internet or comic like "Ujang", "Lawak Antarabangsa" and something like that. So, believe me laughter will relive our pressure faster than the other.Sing also another way to relive our pain. Don't be shame if your voice is not good as Mariah Carey or Siti Nurhaliza. Paris Hilton's voice is okey. At least you can hear any melody or rhythm from your mouth. The best way is go to place where singing is allowed. K-Box is alright. Toilet is not really recommended because repair a collapsed toilet will cost a money. It was my experienced. ;-)... So, sing it out loud and sing from your heart and in the end you will realize how something relive in your head.In a nutshell, do something about your pressure or otherwise it will take your happiness and affect your perfomance in your work. And maybe it can take your lives. But please, go away from commit suicide. There are many better way to releave our pressure. So, these are what I think the better way to relive our pressure by our work.Killme;

Poverty is a nightmare for country who used to be involved in war and a daily food for many countries who declared as poor country. Specifically, based on research over 20,000 people in 23 countries identified by The World Bank's The Voice of the Poor as poor people. Poverty can be defined as being without things, having little money, not many material possessions and in need of essential goods. I bet anyone of us used to watch these people who live without clothes with their big stomach searching for food. I wonder what would happen if we live that way where food can be found once in a blue moon. So, we have to be grateful as country like Malaysia is free from such suffer like that. Poverty caused by some factors. One factor is natural disasters or climate that damage the source of food. One good example is tsunami that occured in Disember 2004 in many countries such as our neighbour countries Acheh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and many more. This disaster not only take lives, homes, properties and land, it also destroyed source of food such as paddy field. So, it made people suffered by starving because the lack of clean and nutrious food. Another disaster is drought that occured in most African country such as Ethopia. This disaster made the land become unfertile and many domestic animal died because they couldn't stand the extreme climate. As a result, it's hard to find food. Another reason why poverty happened is war that occured between two countries or two parties. In this case, the weaker one will suffer more. One good example is in Afghanistan. After the attack by United State of America (USA), people scare to go out from thier home because the heartless army will shot everyone just like an animal. So, it will make people suffer from starving because of the freedom had been taken by the army. Over population and lack of birth control also a reason why this happen. When there's to many people in a country especially a small one, the food source become limited and it's more difficult to provide enough food for the people. It cause many people starve because of this phenomenon. As a result many homeless couldn't get a home because the land is limited. The lack of money also can result many crimes occured because people dare to do anything to live luxury in a competative land. To sum up, all of us have to be thankful to live in a such a rich and peace country like Malaysia. If anyone of us still don't know how lucky we are, try to live only one day in any poor country let's say Kosovo which suffered because of the war. So, appreciate our peace and harmony. Protect it or otherwise our country will list as one of the poor country.Killme;

When we talk about English, sometimes I feel a little bit shame of myself. Well, until these present days in UNITEN it had been 14 years since my first education session in Kindergarten I studied English but I can hardly admit that it is so difficult to say a complete and correct sentence. Even a sentence. So sad. Actually, during secondary school, I think English is not really important compared to critical subjects like Chemistry, Physics and Biology. But since I'm about to further my study abroad and specifically University Auckland, good command in English is so important. My target is to get at least band 7 in IELTS. It's so easy to tell but it's so difficult to score. And I will never let myself drift in my daydreaming. So, I have many things in my head I had started some of it long ago on how I can improve my English in speaking, writing, reading and listening skills. Actually, everything we do in daily life help us a lot to improve our English and I realize it since I know English is so essential for a bright future and become a ticket to get any great job. I guess..First of all the most important skill, for me is speaking skill because when we meet someone important or anybody from oversea, we are not writing or reading in front of them. So, vast storage of good and "boombastic" vocabulary in our mind will never make us speechless to speak. Am I right? So, in order to be good in speaking skill, I try to speak English with my friends everytime I think it's necessary . Yes, necessary because speaking too much in English will make annoying people. Futhermore, I visited website that suggested by Miss Elliza and one of them teach us how to pronounce every single word correctly. So, I will be able to speak without being laughed by anyone who think my pronouncation in funny and ammusing. Listening skill for me is the most difficult skill and second important after speaking skill because when we are poor in listening skill, it will make us hard to detect any words that come out from the person we talk to. So, I watch movies without subtitle (sort of!) because it is the only way we will never lose our concentration or otherwise we will never understand the stories. So, watching movie without understand the plot is just a waste of time. One more way is listening to the music. Since music is my passion, listening to every single word in the song will encourage me to memorise the lyrics. Moreover, listening to the music will expose me to many new vocabularies. So, it will improve my vocabulary because it makes my hand so itchy to search the lyrics in the internet or magazines. I believe this way help me a lot and so much extra English class will never help me because learning English too formal will make me bored. So, for people like me who listening music all the time, put ear phone into my ear is better. Writing diary is a good way to improve our writing skill and related to us because it's something that happened in our life. Many people think it's too "Girly" but I confess sometimes when I think there's no one left to believe, I write some on a piece of paper and write all stuff that make me upset. In addition, it's the safest way to talk about the other. But, I'll make sure I throw it away so no one can read it. Well, writing skill is also important because most of the time during exam especially in essay writing involve this skill. Reading is the most boring skill for me because I tend to fall asleep everytime I read any book especially those without color. Yes, after 30 minutes open any book, let's say Physics book the same thing happens. The book read my face who drift away in dream drive with Paris Hilton and cause a collision. Oops.. Sorry Paris! So, reading English magazines will help me a lot because it is the only type of book that will never let me enter the world of dream. Since in secondary, besides listening to the music this way help me a lot. What happen to my favorite celebrities, the latest movies and songs release, hot gossips and all thost stuffs is what reading more interesting. Magazines like Galaxie, Cleo, Hot, Smash and many more are some examples of my favorite magazines. Besides, I can browse the latest fashion trends, for your information.
I guess, that's all I can say about what I can do to improve my skills in English. I hope my target will easily be achieved by starting all of them. You can try it too. I hope it can help you too.Killme;

Unlike the previous Eid, I celebrate Eid in my hometown in Sabah. But, this year it’s totally different because for the first time in my life, I hear ‘Takbir’ without my parent by my side. It would be so weird but it is fact. Well, what can I do. For the sake of my own future, I have to be into it because I can feel there would be no Eid with them for the next five years. I mean after I finished my study here, in UNITEN. The good thing is, I still have my brother to spend Eid with and a few cousins who study and work in Selangor. I supposed to be grateful because without them who invited me to go with them, maybe I’ll end up my Eid morning in UNITEN together with Arabian students. What a scary nightmare…
Before I forget, this year I spent my Eid in Bentong, Pahang, the hometown of Siti Nurhaliza, my favorite celebrity. I wonder how she spend this second Eid with her husband. The first thing that crossed my mind when my brother told me that we will spend Eid there was I wonder how much ‘dodol’, ‘lemang’, ‘rendang’ and ‘ketupat’ I will eat because I know people here love to cook a lot during Eid. Well, our journey to Bentong was quite short because I think the distance from Kuala Lumpur is not really far but it was so tiring as the road to Bentong is so ‘zig zag’. It takes about 30 minutes to Bentong. When we got there, the first thing I figured out was, it’s hard to see young people and town is full of old people. I took a conclusion all of them migrated to big cities like Kuala Lumpur. Not much we can did there because it’s fasting month and many shop was closed as it was the day before Eid. I guessed there were prepared for Eid the next day.
As we arrived, we were welcomed by my cousin’s mother-in-law. I can felt that she is a great cooker as I saw a hawker in front of their house. What I thought was a reality as we were served with delicious dishes during breaking fast. The night before Eid was an unforgetable moment for me as for the first time in my life I cooked "Rendang" with my cousins as I never done it before. Well, chopped up the meat was not really difficult. I think. All of us were fell asleep so early because of the 'tyring journey' and the 'chopped up' project.The next day, we performed our prayer at the mosque about 200 metres in distance from the house. It feels like home to see how friendly the people in the village. Before I forget, the name of the place is Felda Mempaga 2. So many people were there and it was so hard to recognise every face because it doesn't look familiar for me to perform Eid prayer in a strange place. Usually, after perform prayer I will join my family to our ancestors' grave but since there was no grave we could visit, we just went back home and ate everything that served on the table. Sometimes, I heard voice in my head telling me to stop eating all that stuff because eat so much fat will damage my body someday. But I know it was the only chance for me to eat something special like "lemang", my favorite food of them all. The taste is so unique for me. Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do there because we never know people we saw either. All I know was ate everything I can eat.Something happened on second day of Eid. It was so surprising and fast. It happened in front of the last house we visited for the day. A lady hit our car and unfortunately, she fainted just after the hit. There was some argument about the one who should be blame and who should pay all the damages. Luckily, we are not the one who neglected the traffic rules. It was so outrageous and all I knew was I'm going to die that day.My Eid ended on Thursday where I had to go back to UNITEN early. Well, I know I'm not too brilliant and so many chapters I have to cover for the final exam. Moreover, stay too long in their house make me a little bit uncomfortable. Well, this is my Eid experience. It's so hard to say that this year's Eid was not the best Eid for me because I miss my parent so much. I hope this previous holiday after final exam I can go back home to see them. Luckily, my mom sent me 'Kuih' from home. At least, I didn't miss her cook. Killme;
