morbid-
1.a. Of, relating to, or caused by disease; pathological or diseased.
b. Psychologically unhealthy or unwholesome: "He suffered much from a morbid acuteness of the senses" (Edgar Allan Poe).
2. Characterized by preoccupation with unwholesome thoughts or feelings: read the account of the murder with a morbid interest.

2. A person whose mental acumen is well below par.
3. A person of moderate to severe mental retardation having a mental age of from three to seven years and generally being capable of some degree of communication and performance of simple tasks under supervision. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.

Jaundice-
Yellow staining of the skin and sclerae (the whites of the eyes) by abnormally high blood levels of the bile pigment bilirubin. The yellowing extends to other tissues and body fluids. Jaundice was once called the "morbus regius" (the regal disease) in the belief that only the touch of a king could cure it.

When red blood cells are removed from the bloodstream, hemoglobin, the molecule in red cells that carries oxygen, is broken down into bilirubin. The bilirubin is carried to the liver and excreted into the intestine as a component of bile.

Jaundice can indicate liver or gallbladder disease. When the excretion of bilirubin is hindered, excess bilirubin passes into the blood, resulting in jaundice. Inflammation or other abnormalities of liver cells hinder the excretion of bilirubin into bile. Or the bile ducts outside the liver may be blocked by a gallstone or a tumor. Jaundice can also result from the excessive breakdown of red blood cells (a process called haemolysis) and too much bilirubin is released into the bloodstream. This occurs typically in the hemolytic anemias (as opposed to the aplastic anemias in which not enough red cells are produced). Jaundice is common in newborns because there is some haemolysis during labor and delivery and the newborn's liver is immature and may not be fully up to the task of handling the bilirubin for a few days. In Gilbert syndrome, the blood bilirubin levels are slightly increased, enough to cause mild jaundice. This genetic condition is usually discovered serendipitously during routine screening tests of liver function. It causes no symptoms and no problems.

The figurative use of "jaundice" in "to view things with a jaundiced eye" refers to an attitude of distaste. This may reflect the distaste with which a jaundiced person views food, since severe jaundice typically brings loss of appetite and feelings nausea. "Jaundice" is often said to have come from the French "jaune" for yellow. This is incorrect. The word "jaundice" stemmed from the Latin "galbinus" which described a light greenish-yellow color. In Old French this became "jaunisse" and, in crossing the English Channel, it became "jaundice." In French "jaundice" is still "jaunisse."

The term icterus is synonymous with jaundice. A person who is icteric is jaundiced. Abnormally high blood bilirubin is termed hyperbilirubinemia.

The Act

Once, there were 2 people, one male one female...They had been best friends for long, and that had made 1 of them feel that this isn't just a normal friend-friend relationship and it could've been more than that...
It was the female who has actually made that step...she feels she could've brought this friendship into another level. And so she asked him:"who do you like? "
The guy doesn't actually know that she loves him that time, but he also has a tiny bit of affection towards her as well...But he didn't have the guts to actually spill what's inside his heart, as he feels that he just has a crush, no more than that.
He replied:"Your best friend, _ _ _."
She replied okay, and then went away. The guy didn't know what it meant, but just ignored that.
Upon a longer time spent together, the guy felt that he actually likes her, but there was a matter in which he had angered her, and she wouldn't forgive him at that moment...
Because of family issues, one had to actually move far away from town and had to leave the other...The guy had actually said sorry to the girl, but it doesn't suffice to be a reason for her to forget and forgive...Therefore, this love had been left buried just like that...XD

Malaysians cheering aloud~
Merdeka has come a long way since 53 years has passed by...But just lately...racial issues has arose...
It seems like an neverending fight that we have to endure each and everyday...
Nobody wants to lose in this fight...no resolution whatsoever...
They seem to argue about having who stepped into this country first...So what if we knew about the fact? It doesn't mean the other side tolerates it and let go of this fight...
But then again, we still want to live in peace and harmony...Contradicting, huh?

Happy Merdeka Malaysia, you are the only one thing that stands after all these years...

Half-inspirational song...

Take another leap forward, doesn't matter whether you're...
Sad...Mad...Crying...Dying...
But it seems to all of us that we have to make that very big decision in our lives...
That is the simple thought of wanting to see the light for the next day, or even the next moment.
Many people want to live on, but some just leave their hopes and dreams in vain...Never had the empathy towards other people and feel what they feel...
It seems like a waste to have lived in the world so long when we think about it, but always, what goes up, must come down; what lives, must die...
Be a nice man and try not to cause trouble...

Random

Just like a firefly, I didn't know what had caught your eye
Is it the beaming light, or is it that I've made a flight?
It didn't seem to matter at all, but it seems to be another thing to commemorate
Too late to change...

对不起

Many have their say...But barely anyone listens...Everyone have such experiences...Some inflict such pains unintentionally though...
When the person you cares most doesn't care you back...Don't worry...They don't really appreciate you...Unless he/she is your family, then you really have to reconsider about being ignorant...
Friends really come and go...There is no certainty in having an everlasting friendship in life...If there is, how come there are law firms offering divorce services? =)

P.S : It's just me not having the chance to meet someone that loyal, that caring, and that amazing...Maybe I hadn't been a true friend myself either...I still keep faith~

原来幸福那么简单，却那么难得...

A man once said to his son:"Touch the sky and you'll be the happiest man in the world."
So, the son was ambitious to reach his goal of being a pilot someday, somehow. But it seems that when he had actually been on the skies that he had wanted since birth, he was not filled with joy, but remembered the words that his father had said, and what he did to help him acheive his success. But he feels so empty inside, that he wasn't able to share the joy to the one that he had respected so much. His father was old and had all the sickness that an old man would have, but the son wasn't there to take care of him. It all seemed so wrong, that actually the son had listened to the dad's advice and made him proud, but his heart was all but filled with anguish and sorrow...Humans are also the same-We wouldn't know how to appreciate the things around us until they're gone, but who would be so perfect at times?
