something weird in my house is happening. it's the fridge in the kitchen. the fridge has 2 sections: the above is the freezer while the below one is a normal fridge. recently, somehow the temperatures of bot sections change. by knowing its name, it's obvious that the freezer is the coldest section. but, it has becoming much colder. the ice forms around the area in such a quick time. the frozen foods are getting much harder than usual. meanwhile, the below part has a rise in its temperature. the margarine is now in a semi-liquid state. the plain water in a bottle is not as cold as before. my sis never stops complaining about the not cold plain water. so, what is exactly happening? does this phenomena apply to the climate change?

open any newspaper and there're chances that you'll find an article on climate change. recently, there's a report by the intergovernmental panel of climate change(ipcc) portraying on the science of the climate change. it builds on 3 previous reports done and incorporates results from a further 6 years of results. the resulting report is kinda a major achievement and a real advance in our understanding of the climate change. there has been a 0.74 degrees celcius rise in global temperatures over the past century, much of this occurring in the last few decades. obviously, the direct link between human activities and global warming is more clearly established than ever. oh btw, this year seems to be the disasters(that affect the world, of course) year. and for goodness sake, it's just the beginning of the year! just a few days ago, when i watched the news, there're like 6-7 fire cases in one day! 3 in singapore and the rest occurred in the other countries. and those happened in the other contries were so much worst. 1 was caused deliberately anyway. seriously, those fires could caused a rise in the temperatures. not to mention a huge growing number of gas-guzzling vehicles, in fact, cumulative pollution from (oh God!) everywhere! ok, now in short, we, the Man, cause this global warming stuff. the report confirms that global warming resulting from the human activity is around 10x greater than the changes in the sun's activities. for sea levels, the report projected a rise by the end of this century of between 9-88cm(What?!). the ipcc concludes that global temperature will rise a further up like 1-6 degrees celsius(What?!) by the end of the century, obviously influenced by how emissions grow. ok, i'm not going to blabber down all those global warming stuff. just read the papers and watch the news. but still, the earth is seriously suffering. and we seriously have to do something.

congrats to singapore. we(ok, the soccer team) won the asean cup! woohoo. ok, frankly, i'm not that excited. but it's just that patriotic feeling. have to admit that the singapore team is not that good. but still, it is an achievement for the team. ain't it amazing? a sport can unite a country. but not too extreme, please. i'm still not ok with the thai team. btw, my dad told us about the meaning of bola(ball in malay). Buat Orang Lupa Allah(Make Man Forget Allah). well, it's from his pal anyway who's not into soccer and those duniawi stuff. he's really alim. oh, my dad said that when we watched the asean finals. he's watching too. oh, his words really drove khairul to score. coincedentally.

Allah, the results are released this friday. THIS FRIDAY!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but whatever it is, it's all in His Hands.
