Vandalism


Nowadays, as we can see around us with our bare eyes, many walls and buildings either they are new or old have been painted and drawed illegally just as at bus station and railway station. Sometimes the drawings and paintings are interesting and can be categorized as art but the way it was done is totally wrong. They must get permission from authorities initially. In Malaysia, we also can see damaged public phones around   us either the telephone receiver is broken or the keypad is. Damaging of the public phone always happen in our country. It can be seen clearly because it happens at almost places that have public phones as one of facilities in their town. Maybe most of Malaysian have hand phones as main communication tool do not mean they can damage this public facility to their heart’s content. What a rude behavior. This damaging problem makes people who have emergency problem cannot use it and aggravate circumstances. It also makes them angry because they do not have option in the mean time. Folk of Malaysia also have bad attitude during using toilet particularly in school and public toilet. They damage the toilet bowl and flush without thinking about others right. The toilet also clogged with many things that people throw away in it intentionally or unintentionally. Mostly the things are tissues and sanitary pads. Damaging and clogging make the toilet very dirty and poorly to be used. This problem also make authorities always have to repair this facility many times in a twelvemonth because toilet is a vital place for humans. Destruction of playground equipment also has been one of the bad activities that people in Malaysia like to do. Our authorities have to spend a large number of money to repair and replace the equipment at there. The children also lose place to play at and parents have to find other place for their child to play at. Other than that, damaging of mailboxes also happen but rarely in Malaysia and more in oversea because the mailboxes in Malaysia usually attach to houses. Consequences of this make the postmen have trouble where they should send the letter to the receivers. All of these occurrences are vandalism activities. 

Vandalism  , an act of damaging somebody else’s property on purpose or for no reason that is done by vandal who does this irresponsible manner. In the context of vandalism, it is done by all levels of society from a child to an old folk. They do this activity in serious and unserious level. However, this bad activity significantly done by adolescence, young people who are still searching for their direction in life and do not have much responsibilities as adults. This cases have been a challenging for authorities to solve it that usually come from loitering and ‘lepak’ activity who done and committed by teenager. Most of the teenagers are neglected, abused, poor, uneducated and idle adolescence. Family who have problems at home such as fighting in front of their children makes the children feel ruin. They have problems at home or being untaken cared child at home makes they go out and try new things and look up for friends who maybe can spend more time with but sometimes it goes wrong. This group of teenagers befriends with wrong people.

Vandalism has been a big and long-term problem that cannot be solve by authorities in quick time to lessen its consequences. Vandalism activities really irritate citizens and tourists eyes. From research that had been done, lack of civic awareness is the prime factor of vandalism especially among youth in every city in the Earth. Civic awareness do not being spread to the next generation by senior citizens or parents is a massive mistake done in citizen’s behavior aspect. Adult in this new era do not aware with the effect that will occur if children and teenagers do not apply with this vital knowledge. They are the generation that will rule our country soon. Our country will be underdeveloped and lack of value in our citizenself if this awareness do not being pervaded now. It is not just like, ‘OK, let’s just tell youngster to be more civic aware’. You have to pervade and practice it constantly without exception to anyone.

The emotional motives of the biggest group of people who do such annoying things that give bad effect to others is they think vandalism is a way to release their resent feel or a way to eliminate boredom alone. Although the motives look so light but society has to bear a great loss to satisfy their desire. They should release their wants to a better way and change their mentality about vandalism activity. They can get two benefits by doing that, one for them and one for society. At least no bad effect to society, it’s alright. They have to think a little bit before do anything whether it has bad effect or not. Youth who not have anything to do should find something interesting and beneficial for them to do during their spacious time without lose any second wasted.

Plenty of ventures have done by the authorities to stop people from do this useless activity. Other than authorities effort, we as a citizen should do the same to. If it does not stop vandalism, maybe it can reduce the effects. There are many steps that we can take to solve this problem but it must be done whole-hearted. Firstly, we have to report to the police by calling non-emergency phone line whenever we see every instance of vandalism and when we witness suspicious activity. This step can make the vandal being take action and maybe they will regret and will not do it anymore. While reporting the vandalism activity, we should personally document each instance of property with photo and dates. That action will help police to do their work more efficient. Also, each of evidence will help build a civil case against the vandal if caught, to force them to pay for the damages to the authorities.

So, we should take this vandalism activity as a serious case that will affect our livings and give numerous consequences. We also have to cooperate constantly without selfishness in our heart because Bertrand Russell, a historian, once said; the only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.  By hook or by crook, we have to do it properly and efficiently.

my favorite cartoon : Powerpuff Girls

"Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical X! Thus the Powerpuff girls were born! Using their ultra super powers, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil!"

Do all of you still remember what song is that? Don't you? That was the opening song for powerpuff girls cartoon that was first released in 1995. That is my favorite cartoon in my entire life. Powerpuff Girls is fun, right? I like it so much ! I used to watch it everyday during my childhood. So, let me tell you a little bit about Powerpuff Girls if you either not a fan nor never watch it.


Powerpuff Girls members are Blossom, the red one, Buttercup, the green one and Bubbles, the blue one. They always wear same colours so it's easy to identify which one is Blossom, Buttercup or Bubbles. Based on their opening song, we can know how they are made of. The method is so weird, right? I think it's interesting because it produced three awesome little girls who are also brave to defend Townsville, the city where monsters and super powered villains tend to strike this town many times and Powerpuff Girls will struggle to rescue their town. 


                                                      Powerpuff Girls in  male version

 Their 'father' is Professor Utonium, the man who create them accidentally in his laboratory. He loves them very well. He is basically typical scientist. After Professor Utonium accidentally created three superpowered girls in his laboratory, his "children" decided to use their powers to fight for justice. Their arch enemy is the Professor's former lab assistant; once known as Jojo, he was mutated in the same explosive chemical accident which created the heroic trio, becoming the megalomaniacal Mojo Jojo. He later created the Rowdyruff Boys, evil male counterparts to the girls, using snips, snails  and puppy-dog tails.



 When not fighting crime and villainy, the Girls go to Pokey Oaks Kindergarten. They are just three typical cute little kids when they are not fight evil. Their teacher is Ms. Keane.



Now, I will tell you about their behavior. Firstly, Blossom is the leader in this group. She is the smartest among the three of them. She also the one who always do her homework but she is a little bit bossy. She  likes to learn and build things. She also loves candy. Secondly is Buttercup, she is a tomboy. She hates girly stuff and is mostly seen hanging out with boys. She likes being rough and is a tad bit mean. So she likes toy cars and playing sports. She also has a bit of a lower voice than the others.What I like the most is Bubbles ! I like her, she is so cute. Bubbles is REALLY sweet and she hates arguing! She believes in fairy tales and likes stuffed animals and drawing. She is kind of ditzy, but still adorable.She really likes to draw anytime, everywhere. Bubbles is an animal lover. So, she has a great affection toward animals.





Actually I also once copied Bubbles when I was a child. I forced and whined my mother to cut my hair to shoulders and made my hair in two pig tails. She allowed me ! Yeah ! I felt so excited that day. I felt so like Bubbles. I also wore lots of blue, especially blue dresses everyday. When my family and I went for shopping, I will ask my mother to buy me, a blue shirt. Every time. What a funny childhood.

They chose to use their super powers to fight criminals such as Mojo Jojo, always wear a big tall hat or wig and maybe a big dark coat. He has a somewhat Japanese accent and is very smart yet sometimes isn't the best with making plans. He usually repeats himself.


 Him,always wear like red micro-miniskirts, ruffles, colorful makeup and lots of stripes. Him has two sides: Polite, over-the-top and girly; and vicious and threatening. The first is more often in the anime, and he rarely actually seems that genuinely threatening except when he uses his powers in the anime, and he still acts somewhat polite. The second is more common in the original.



Fuzzy Lumpkins

Princess Morebucks, always wear over-the-top expensive looking dresses, preferably with gaudy jewels, and wear a tiara. She is girly and spoiled and rich, and needs an entourage.


 the Amoeba Boys,



 the Gang Green Gang,


Sedusa,



the Rowdyruff Boys, they look like a Powerpuff Girls but a bit more boyish.

Powerpuff Girls have super powers  that are : able to fly, superhuman strength and durability, extremely intelligent and fast learner. Cool, right? Blossom good at coming up with plans to defeat their enemies. Buttercup was the most aggressive and best fighter of the Powerpuff Girls (the "spice"), the one who usually attacked first and asked questions later. Bubbles was the most sensitive of the Powerpuff Girls (the "sugar"), the happiest and most extroverted of the team. They are complete for each other to make a good team.

They made so much in my childhood memory, still hoping this show still airing in Cartoon Network channel.

life nowadays.


fearless :|

                                             I'm not really that fearless to do this. So vertigo!


I have became a fearless lately, since I was in Form 4 maybe. Don't know why. Maybe because I was surrounding by friends that really don't afraid of anything, even the warden in my hostel. We were not afraid of her, doesn't mean we act cool rude with her (actually sometimes, when we thought we blamed for not our fault, kind of rebel a little bit). But we still respect her as our warden and teacher.


We done things that not many people will do. For instance, we clapped hands for the longest time in a school  assembly. Actually I have done this several times each other in our gang to stand the longest after people had sat. I confess I've done it and often won. I did a trick during this standing, I made movement to lift my baju kurung a litte bit and tried to comfort myself to sit, easy right? people will think I will sit, just like them. I won and I got treated with many sticks ice creams. It's relieving because they treated me during sun is beaming its light, on afternoon.

                                                             Fuhh, it makes me sweaty.
                                   
Next, when we were walking behind people in school who were extremely slow, we just like 'Move b*tch turtles, get out of the way and walked through them. Actually it's kind of arrogant and rude but who cares, they were our juniors. Seniors ruled but we still treat them as our sister because what comes around, goes around. I don't want neither my daughter nor my granddaughter being treated badly by her seniors.




Now and then, I think we have to be fearless. It gives benefits and bad consequences sometimes. Fearless fun sometimes, especially when having fun with friends but never go overboard in doing things. I always remind that to myself.
