So I was home at 9.05 p.m. just now because I took a nap at my grandma's house in the evening. My brother was lying on the floor watching the National Geographic Channel. I decided to stay in the hall for a while because I sense something good might happen. Anyway, it was the first time I've watched the television for months! Well, you can say that I stopped watching the television completely since I entered my Degree course, except during my semester break.
The television programme has already begin when I sat on the couch to join my mom. My dad went to Seremban for his training course (or was it for lecture?) and would be back only on Saturday. Anyway, it was about this snake hunter, whom i forgot his name and the name of that programme. (sorry T_T) He actually went to Zoo Negara! And he measured the local python snake which was almost 7 metres long and weighed 85kg, almost 200 pounds. I was glad that someone like him was here in Malaysia. It shows that Malaysia is gaining fame and has something that could attract foreigners to come all the way just for it.
Later on that guy and his team went to a cave in Indonesia to look for some rare python or something like that. They were suffocating because the cave lack of oxygen as they went deeper. They found a snake in a mud pool... Well, not so much a mud pool but a shit pool. The man tried to catch it but he did a mistake by pulling the snake's tail while the head was still free and under the pool of shit.
I was playing a game called Patapon 2 in my PSP while watching the television. I had my headphones on and depended on the subtitles to understand what was going on. Suddenly I heard the man screamed as if he was possessed by a demon soul. He was bitten by the snake on his upper left thigh. Fortunately that snake has no venom, but it would probably cause him to have an infection if not treated immediately because of the germs and all that stuffs in the shit pool. The bite was two or three centimetres deep into his flesh. Ew... I think he was crying or something like that. Ouch that hurts.
Despite being bitten, and he admitted that it was one of the most serious injury he had from a snake bite, he says that he will not give up hunting snakes. His wound was later treated with alcohol and he had to bear with the pain, which I think it was unusually pain because of his expressions that read "I'm dying! Enough of the alcohol!". Anyway he came back to the cave after his injury healed, and caught the same snake although he was quite afraid when he went back there. This motivated me not to give up my passion in art and design. When being hurt or feeling depressed, we should not give up, but to give time for ourselves to heal. When we feel better, strive on for that passion that made us chose our wanted course. I think it's fair enough because there are people out there who are in a much worse situation. We might not this this way when we are in a depressed or frustrated state, but when we give ourselves time to think and heal ourselves, it was actually wrong to say that we want to quit what we're doing just because of some depression or obstacles along the way. We have come so far, and it's just a waste of time to quit after what we've overcome in the past few months or years.
So, basically that was the main point... Anyhow, to continue about the snake hunting story. I saw some people doing an experiment about some thermo sense on a python snake to prove that it does not really rely on its sight and sense of smell. That snake can sense their victims by their body heat. So the snake was put in this cube-like box, with its eyes blinded temporally by taping black tape on both eyes. Then, a white lab rat was put into the box and those people observe the snake's movements. In conclusion, the snake rely on sensing the rat's body heat and later suffocate the rat by coiling it. I then told my mom to excuse me because I wanted to see if Yuki and Miz was doing ok and ran to see them. Lucky, they seem ok as compared to the white lab rat.
End of the story... Now I'm going to roughly talk about something that made my day. I went to Sunway Pyramid with Vv, Debbie, William and arashi for lunch, but arashi went back to finish up his assignments while the rest of us went shopping! Not so much of shopping though, just sight seeing. So we went into this shop that sells figurines and models. Vv is familar with the shop owner there. Anyway the shop owner showed us a new arrival, which made my day. It was a set of 12 puchi Vocaloid nendroids! Gosh... Those little freaks costs RM258 in a set of 12, but is RM22 + each. I wanted the whole set!!! T_T I'm broke. (To: Ahem... You know who you are. Don't buy it for me or I'll kill you. I'm serious. =_=) Anyway those little cutie pies looked like this:

End of post for today! I think it's a rather long post... So, I'll just stop writing and get some rest for now. Have a great day ahead people~
