There was an important job to be done,
and Everybody was asked to do it.
But since Everybody was a procrastinating bastard,
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it,
but it turns out that Nobody did it instead.
So Somebody got angry that Nobody did it,
which supposingly was Everybody’s job.
While Everybody thought Anybody could do it,
but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It end up that Everybody blamed Somebody,
when actually Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Tapir
Tapirs are large browsing mammals, roughly pig-like in shape, with short, prehensile snouts. They inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia. All four species of tapir are classified as endangered or vulnerable. Their closest relatives are the other odd-toed ungulates, including horses and rhinoceroses.

Hag Fish
Hagfish are marine craniates of the class Myxini, also known as Hyperotreti. Myxini is the only class in the clade Craniata that does not also belong to the subphylum Vertebrata. That is, they are the only animals which have a skull but not a vertebral column.
Despite their name, there is some debate about whether they are strictly fish (as there is for lampreys), since they belong to a much more primitive lineage than any other group that is commonly defined fish (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). Their unusual feeding habits and slime-producing capabilities have led members of the scientific and popular media to dub the hagfish as the most “disgusting” of all sea creatures. Although hagfish are sometimes called “slime eels,” they are not eels at all.

Proboscis Monkey
The Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus), also known as the Monyet Belanda (in Malay), the Bangkatan (in Indonesian) or simply the Long-nosed Monkey, is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey that is endemic to the south-east Asian island of Borneo. It belongs in the monotypic genus Nasalis, although the Pig-tailed Langur traditionally also has been included in this genus – a treatment still preferred by some.

Pink Fairy Armadillo
The Pink Fairy Armadillo (Chlamyphorus truncatus) or Pichiciego is the smallest species of armadillo (mammals of the family Dasypodidae, mostly known for having a bony armor shell). It is approximately 90-115 mm (3½-4½”) long excluding the tail, and is pale rose or pink in color. It is found in central Argentina where it inhabits dry grasslands and sandy plains with thorn bushes and cacti. It has the ability to bury itself completely in a matter of seconds if frightened.
The Pink Fairy Armadillo burrows small holes near ant colonies in dry dirt. It feeds mainly on ants and ant larvae near its burrow. Occasionally it feeds on worms, snails, insects and larvae, or various plant and root material.

Axolotl
The axolotl , Ambystoma mexicanum, is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species originates from the lake underlying Mexico City and are also called ajolote (which is also the common name for Mexican Mole Lizards). Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate most body parts, ease of breeding, and large embryos. They are commonly kept as pets in the United States, Great Britain (under the spelling axlotl), Australia, Japan (sold under the name wooper rooper (ウーパールーパー, Ūpā Rūpā?)) and other countries.
As of 2008, axolotls are near extinction, due to urbanization in Mexico City, and polluted waters. Nonnative fish have also recently been introduced to the waters. These new fish have been eating the axolotls’ babies, as well as its primary source of food. The axolotl is currently on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s annual Red List of threatened species.

Guess what? I will be sitting for Malaysian University English Test ( MUET ) on this coming saturday or 8 November 2008. There are writing , reading and listening tests. I planned to study during this weekend but i didn’t study at all. How lazy was I T_T I thought i had learnt a lesson from the past mid-term exams that studying at the last minute wasn’t good at all yet i still didn’t study earlier. Sometimes people are like that. They knew they should not do something but they still tend to do that. For example, many people knew that smoking is not good but they still smoke. Is it people won’t cry before they see the coffin?
I think i should start studying from now on. By the way, I’ve made some efforts for my studies by reading chinese newspapers or sometimes english newspapers so I can give some examples in my writing based on latest news and common issues. Furthermore, I am writing this blog to improve my writing skills! wahaha! Nevertheless, it’s not only I should study for MUET. Other subjects are crucial as well. I planned to review the notes around half an hour everyday but I could hardly do that. Sometimes I wonder am i a good student and am i qualified to further degree to university in future?
