Yeah, the classic movie which won a lot of Oscars. Now I remember where I heard that familiar &#8220;Somewhere over the rainbooooooww&#8230;where the skies are blue&#8230;where the dreams that you dare to dream do come true&#8221;.It&#8217;s Dorothy singing the song. Sweet. You know what I&#8217;ve learned from that movie? I&#8217;ve learned that all of us do have some hidden abilities. It&#8217;s just that we don&#8217;t know it. We just need to explore ourselves a little bit further. If we are going to be lucky, we&#8217;ll find something new inside ourselves. What the heck, it&#8217;s just a stupid motion picture but I still like it. It&#8217;s a classic. Nevertheless, Star Wars is the the best. Trekkies suck a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I bought a new shoe today. It&#8217;s Etnies and it cost me about only 30 bucks. The initial price was $89 but the price really went down after a year in the market. Well, it&#8217;s a nice shoe and I like it. A real value for my money. I was about to buy a Nike&#8217;s Air shoe at about $64.99 but due to my superior consumer conscience, I spent a few hours in a mall called Briarwood Mall (it&#8217;s a mall in Ann Arbor) just to find a nice shoe with a nice price tag. My virtuous effort paid off. Hmmm&#8230;talk about practicing what I&#8217;ve learned in Commerce at the Malay College. I bet Mr. Mastor will be proud of me. :)<\/p>\n<p>Somebody called me a sore loser today. Well, because this is my domain, I can write whatever I like here whether the grammar is right or not. By the way, I am above gramm&#8217;e&#8217;r. but being too tired to argue with him, I&#8217;ll take a third party view of the situation. It all start when this one guy posted the glorious  phrase of &#8220;Muck Fischigan&#8221; at a mailing list. I was definitely pissed off by that statement. Talking about taking the stance of &#8220;holier than thou&#8221;. Well, as time passed by, I learned that U of Mich has a respectable football team (I must stress here that football doesn&#8217;t mean soccer. American does play a lot of weird stuffs. They call their baseball tournament a world series when only the American plays it. Cricket, baseball&#8230;football, soccer). So, I made a statement &#8220;Action speaks louder than words&#8221;. And he got pissed off. I was definitely happy with my ability to rise his blood pressure. And, what made me happier was Michigan defeated that particular university 46-20(after that guy said that his university is the greatest, better than anybody&#8217;s&#8230;I guess God is nothing to him coz he is the greatest, right?) . I kept quiet after that.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, in the end, they managed to have the last laugh as that &#8220;great university&#8221; instead of us managed to earn a place in the BCS. The Wolverine was defeated by the Buckeyes 26-26. I kept quiet about that too. But, hey he was happy with that and I definitely am not happy with that result but like what he said, it&#8217;s just football. But noo, he must make a fuss about making to the BCS&#8217; bowl. I. as usual, will only open my mouth when action, speaks again. So, hell. At least it&#8217;s nice to know that we have been in the Bowl a lot of time compare to that university. What am I talking about. I&#8217;m scraping it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw The Wizard of Oz just now. Yeah, the classic movie which won a lot of Oscars.
