You just have to believe that you can do it

"Even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, why is it that Australia and New Zealand became technologically advanced and wealthy?"

This question runs through my mind when I think about wealth. Fortunately, I recently watched a "movie" on Gun, Germs and Steel. The "movie" explains how the people in the pass lived. And they also show that if you look around the world, you can find that only one place called New Guinea, does not have technology. They live in the forest and build shelter from tree trunks just like the Homo Sapiens Sapiens (Early Humans).

What I think is that Australia and New Zealand used what they learned from the Neolithic Age people how to build houses out of brick and concrete. With their imagination combined, they could build lots of different types of buildings and structures. And that made Australia and New Zealand wealthier than New Guinea because New Guinea didn't combine their ideas to make buildings and structures. But everything that they did is the exact same thing of what the Paleolithic Age and Neolithic Age did. Such as farming.

One thing that what New Guinea is different from Australia and New Zealand is that they farm food instead of buying random raw food from the supermarket and eat it for one of your meals. New Guinea farm wheat, barley and rice to get all the nutrition that they need and sometimes, they will hunt animals for their meat. While in Australia and New Zealand, they could buy food from the supermarket and cook the bought raw food to eat for lunch or dinner under the cooling air conditioner. The last one that is different between the two groups(New Guinea vs. Australia and New Zealand) is technology.

Technology is all around you. You can find technology every step you take. But in New Guinea, every step you take, you see trees. No technology at all. Not even a spark of electricity is found in New Guinea. All day long, they work and rest, work and rest. While here, we type, play, watch, read, write, learn, eat and many more. Just because of technology, we are actually enjoying our life by doing all sorts of things with technology like for example, we use the computer to do homework or go on Facebook. The answer to my question has actually now revealed.

Don't forget! The question was "Even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, why is it that Australia and New Zealand became technologically advanced and wealthy?" can you answer it? This is the answer that I want to tell the people of New Guinea. "Don't be jealous of what other country have because you are the unique country that nobody have and that unique thing is that with what you are doing right now, at this moment, you remind us that we once lived in the forest and hunt for food, build shelter and make spears for living. You even remind us how much we've grown. If you try, you can make it to be a wealthy country or even much more wealthier than Europe! So, don't be jealous of what other people have. You just have to believe that you can do it. Only then you can achieve the goal that you want."

Is the real mud skipper. 

Have you ever feel like thinking what does a mud skipper do or think? Do you even understand how we feel about other creature in this lonely world? Well, if it is a yes, you are lucky enough to have me to write a story about the day I had experienced the worse but not that worse day ever with my cameramen, Makemedo What, and the most annoying mud skipper I have ever seen, my team-mate, Perfectisme. 

"Hey guys, this is Lamooyum, the most famous and amazing reporter here. I would like to report to you guys that there is some unknown creature that has been ruling over the world these days known as humans are attacking our Muddy COUNTRY! Even through their hair is different, like the color, they are still wearing the famous Puah Chu Kang's shoe (a famous actor in Singapore) ! And they are walking very slowly across the paddy field. Some of them are trapped in our traps that we made in some places. But unfortunately, most of them just ran away like an airplane! Oh no! They are coming! Closer and closer... AHHHHHHHH!!!"

*Puack* *Puack* *Puack* 


"Are you there? We still have the news to report Lamooyum!" Makemedo What asked.


"Help meee..." a faint voice asked. Makemedo What found Lamooyum and pulled him out.


"Okay, lucky that I'm the fastest run-away in this world, and that makes me still not dead... So let's continue this news. These humans are destroying our weather forecast station by planting the trees on top of it. So there will be no more weather news for US!!! And also, they are actually helping us to plant the trees which is NOT a good thing because then there will be lesser space for us live in!" I continued.


"Oh no... He's ruining everything again! Here let me do it." Perfectisme said and pushed me aside and started his speech. "Actually, they are helping us to have more food to eat, and shelter, and air, and many more. So I think that we have to be grateful to them-"


"What are you talking about?!?!" I interrupted "They are no good... AHHHH!!!" Everyone, including me, screamed like mad cows as we run into different directions and hide in a root of a tree after we saw a young boy with spiky hair, which the people on the rock called him Gerald, went straight into the biggest trap that we stand on just now. 


"Thiss... iss Per... Perfect... Perfectismeee speakinggg... The best way to nnoot get killed is to hide unnnderr the tree and stay there until you don't hear anything at all... This is Pertectisme speaking and you are watching "Emergency M.I.High." Perfectisme said in a timid voice to the camera. 


After 1 hour and 30 minutes, everyone in the Muddy County scattered around the country to see what had happened. All they saw was millions of hole dug through the mud, and a few small trees planted on the mud around the weather forecast station. Everyone just stand there still paralyzed with great fear in their heart. Perfectisme and I dared ourselves to walk up to the nearest hole and snuggle inside. It felt warm and welcoming. So we just rest there looking at the sun while everyone followed what we did. 


"This is the most dreadful experience I have ever had." Perfectisme and I murmured as we closed our eyes and let the "interesting" day end.
