White Tigers. Don't they look adorable. Tigers are already extremely rare and to see a white tiger is a once in a lifetime experience. But the truth aren't spoken by zoos who have white tigers in their enclosures. The gene pool for white tigers is extremely small. To produce wild tigers as circus and zoo attractions, breeders resort to inbreeding to conceive white tigers. What's so bad about inbreeding? You might ask. Inbreeding is when someone or something conceives an offspring with a close relative such as cousins or siblings. Like humans, tiger cubs conceived by inbreeding have shorter lifespan, low sperm count, less ovums, cross-eyed and mental retardation. This is the problem faced by most white tiger cubs, 8 out of 10 white tiger cubs aren't perfect. What do the breeders do to severely deformed tigers like this one here>>>>

This is the truth. 8 out of 10 white tigers are like this poor creature here. Ugly. A magnificent tiger looking like this? This is caused by cruel men who have no compassion all for the sake of money. The breeders will either sell the deformed tiger at a low price to illegal tiger skin or bone traders at a low price or discard them. When they are discarded, the deformed tiger's retardation prevents it from hunting successfully and the color prevents them from camouflaging well. They will starve to death. 8 out of 10 white tigers pay the price for "not being good looking enough". Who has to pay the price, the innocent tiger who has deformation because of inbreeding prompted by humans or the sick tiger breeder who dispose of so many tiger cubs just to get a handful of majestic white tigers like the one in the first picture? If a white tiger is paired with a regular tiger, only 25% of the conceived cubs are white... Again 75% are disposed off...

White tigers don't need a conservation status. They are not wild animals, they're man-made. The best thing to do is to stop white tiger breeding and to continue supporting conservation efforts for the real tigers.

Open up you eyes fellas, this is the real world of white tigers... For more info, watch this video...

Crazy Day at School

I went to special classes today, I fell asleep 3 times in the bathroom and dropped the shower head thingy. 1st subject to learn is Moral. Malay's have PAI class and unfortunately, the 3P boys ponteng so it's just me and Mohan Jr a.k.a. tetek silikon as the teachers call him. Our Moral teacher Cikgu Mat Omar a.k.a. "Cikgu Masdo" didn't came... Haiz, nothing to do, just sit there complaining only lor... But the thing that made me smile is recess... There was FREE nasi lemak for breakfast. We got 38 packets of nasi lemak but there were less than 20 of us and a few boys including me swapped 2 packets... Then got BM class, just bincang the homework only... WAH, sooo sleepy. We heard we could go home early bcos Math teacher wanna give birth dy... Another fustration but look on the bright side... Wasting 3 hrs is worth it for the DELICIOUS nasi lemak...

The ext time I come to Saturday extra classes got lots of reasons... wanna improve my maths, BM n sejarah, for my semi-accoustic guitar i will get for straight A's in PMR n for NASI LEMAK!!!!!

Lion King is wrong

In the popular animated show, we see the lions of pride rock fighting hyenas. But the show hasn't been fair towards the poor hyenas. In Lion King, the creator favors the lion but the truth must be spoken.

In the African plains, lions and hyenas are eternal enemies but the competition made is far from Lion King's animation. The tense battle is exploding with blood and action. In National Geographic, most videos depict lionesses chasing after fleeing hyenas, they do this just to mengelak the attacks, not because of fear. Lions have an overall stronger body but hyenas have much powerful jaws and tough bones meaning lions need to have a hard try at killing a hyena and hyenas are capable of injuring a lion with a single bite. Hyena troops contain more members than regular lion prides so lions are sometimes outnumbered but... 1 point for the hyenas...

The leader of the pride, the "alpha" male is a hyena's worst nightmare. Male lions have stronger bones, jaws and muscles and they have thick and tough manes that are too strong even for the hyena's fatal blow. Even if it is a single male lion against a whole troop of hyenas, the male lions have a speed up to 3 times faster than the hyenas which enables male lions to attack and dodge easily. So the score is 1 all.

Lions and hyenas have been fighting on eternal battlefields for millions of years. Both are apex predators in Africa, easily eliminating leopards, cheetahs and wild dogs as the top boss. Hyenas have larger armies and have stronger jaws as well as being more notorious but lions are faster, stronger and more agile.

So don't underestimate a hyena the next time you tune into Animal Planet or watch Lion King.

Lord Grants Me Miracles

Miracles... They always happen, some are possible behind the borders of science but some exceed that border because in terms of science, God is nothing... But he his our jehovah and our Lord Almighty...

I have experience a few miracles since my Faith progressed recently... Though it is still behind the boundaries of science, I thank the Lord for it... For without him... I won't be where I am now... Standing between the believers and the non-believers whom i care for...

The first miracle happened recently starting from my nasal turbinate surgery... I though it wouldn't help me much. All my life, I've been breathing with one nasal cavity that is half of my whole nose. Now, I'm breathing with both nasal cavities easily... Praise the Lord...

The second is concerning my well-being. For the past 2 years I started to loathe education. I always thought there is always a shortcut to success. At that time, I wasn't the hardworking kid I was during my years at late primay school... I was a lazy slacker waiting in line to be dropped from the school... After the ESP, I vowed and swore to improve... AND IT DID!!!! I started doing homeworks and notes with ease but I copied some of my friends notes... I'm neutral on all subjects which I say is plusible for me to score an A in PMR but I'm still struggling hard with Mathematics... With a not-so-good maths teacher, most of my learnings are from my tution teacher... The notorious MR TAN TING TONG... He's a good teacher I say although we make fun of him sometimes... Praise the Lord

The big miracle, I've been selected as one of the possible candidates to represent the school in NST's SPELL IT RIGHT... I'm not a pro at English because of my weakness in grammar... I was selected for my vocab power... You know, I read bombastic words in the bible and in star wars books very often... Praise the Lord

Yes I'm still struggling with maths, but the Lord has brought me this far, I only need to nudge myself to success, I won't give up when I'm this close to redemption... Never...

I guess the Lord keeps his promise to those who love him... I didn't understand it when I was a kid but I sure got my eyes opened now... The Lord is with us... Now, here... Wherever you are... Not only in the church, at school, at a tution center or in a dark alley... He watches over us and protects us from harm... Amen

The Biggest and Meanest Of All Monsters

Imagine yourself as a diver in a safety cage on the lookout for Great White Sharks. You see what you were hoping for in a distance, a torpedo shaped body with crescent tail fins and black eyes. It swims towards your cage, you ready your camera, hoping to snap a shot of the Jaws star. It's at a distance where it should be right in front of you but it isn't. As the tail propels forward, you notice it is larger than the maximum sized Great White. You get your true look at the immense beast. It's tooth is broader than your arm, it's jaws can easily swallow your "safety" cage. This is Jaws's grandpa. Megalodon... A shark over 75 feet long, about 4 times the size of a Great White...

This picture defines the true size of Megalodon. A true monster... While for a Great White, a human is a full meal, a Megalodon will regard a human as a popcorn.

Pro-scientists have also stated that in waters shallow enough for T-Rex could stride on, deep enough for Megalodon to swim in, this is the result....

That's right, a Megalodon's mass and size exceeds that of T-Rex... Armed with strong jaws and teeth which beats that of T-Rex and with it's speed, T-Rex could fall prey to this shark...

Megalodon started evolving at the time of the Dinosaurs end and preyed on Pleisosaurs(the Loch-Ness is alleged to be a Pleisosaur) and even Mosasaurus, a marine reptile... It's regular meal includes large whales... With an immense size and fearsome instincts, Megalodon ultimately took control of the oceans after surviving the end of the dinosaurs...

Megalodon continued to rule the oceans for the next 4 dozen million years... At the dawn of Homo Sapiens era at 100,000 years ago, Megalodon became extinct due to many of the whales migrating to icy waters during the ice age... With lack of food, Megalodon could not feed on other animals to satisfy it's hunger and starved to death... The ice bonded the oceans together and caused the shallow waters, nursery for young Megalodons to dry up...

Well, it could be extinct, maybe not... 95% of our oceans are unexplored and claims of jellyfishes capable of sinking boats are reported, mermaids are claimed to be discovered etc etc... In 1881, fishermen return without crayfish traps and told tales where the water boils and a huge fin slices through the oceans surface and dragged away their crayfish traps... Why would they waste their crayfish traps over a lie??? Fishermen aren't rich and crayfish traps are expensive... With the Japanese submarines having recorded a footage of a giant shark, presumably Megalodon... It seems clear to me...

The beast is out there........

My Dream Pet


My dream pet... I do not fancy puppies or kittens... They're either for kids or girls, tough animals are for boys... Well, tarantulas aren't that fierce and tough...They can be killed if you slap or step on them...

They look big and dangerous but are best called regular pets. They require little cleaning, they don't eat everyday and they can be touched or walk on the palm of your hand. The food they need is cheap. It is easy to buy crickets from bait stalls and the best thing to ensure a balanced diet for the tarantula is to snag different species of insects, mice, lizards and frogs around the neighborhood. Tarantulas are creatures who are attracted to the heat of the human body, so they won't hesitate stretching out to you when you want to play.

Tarantula dung is not smelly. The dung looks like jabs of white paint which are actually protein leftovers. The burrow must only be clean once in a month. Contrary to other pets, tarantulas don't require cleaning and they don't stink. They just require attention as they are sensitive to pests. They never get injuries unless inflicted by a human. Lost legs are replaced by molting, which require attention of the owner as accidents may happen.

The tarantula bite is nothing serious. It's just like a bee stingX2 because a tarantula has two fangs. The kind sold in Malaysia are docile Asian species who have hairs that can be left unnoticed by the owner. Or if it gets into your nose, it might only cause a sneeze, not inflamation. If the hair gets into the eye, it will cause a bearable itch.

My parents offered me a mobile phone for straight A's in PMR but I asked for an electric guitar instead but the request was denied. I asked for the tarantula but my parents complained of "what if the spider escapes" and many other excuses. I've replied with scientific facts but my parents are just too arachnaphobic. They are also electric-guitarphobic and onlinegaming phobic.

Man I'm fed up... Just hope they change their mind.

Next drawing...terminator drawing- model 101 series 850

i am sick of drawing star wars already... i just tried out something new...

After the success of my darth maul potrait.... I tried drawing pictures of Linkin Park or Rambo but all became failures...But today, i just finished the mainframe of a terminator robot...the "arnold" one, not the girl one...may not look perfect though because i still can't draw perfect teeth...

But this time the paper i used is a regular A3 drawing block... It's more difficult than drawing transformers which has plenty of space for errors but that's not the case in drawing t-800's....this drawing, if there are minor sizing or positioning errors, it'll become unimpressive junk...

i may upload the pictures in a few days time...
