This few days, right after back from work, i'm surfs through my facebook account, i'm noticed that one of the picture are really got my eye view. That picture is a picture of someone that i really want to see for this 8 years evethough i got my facebook account accidently(yep! i still remenber that i'm was flipping my e-mail and accientaly registered myself).

Wow! that are very long time...You know what? When i go through HER facebook account, some anxious,tense and unsetteled feeling pierece my mind and body. Its really recurring vividly my memories.

There are something has happened between us back at that time. I'm still remenber that i'm just continued my studies and both of us just part afar from each others. She are at other part of the country while i'm at the other part of the country. I know its very hard to maintain a relationship when you are far from each other especially when its special.

Well... i'm just begin my first year or first semester to be more precisely, and i need at least mental support eventhough its quite hard time for me especially from financial aspect. But we got broke up! Its okay, if we meets each other to ask for broke up. But that is not happen, she ask for broke up by a phone! and that is so means to me!...

Can you imagine that how hurt you are when someone do like that do to you, at the time you needed his/her the most. Its really broke my wills to continued my studies. I got 1 weeks MC just because of that.(mourning with what was happen got me a fever) and i'm just keep asking myself, what was going on? what was wrong with her? how could this happen to me? who the fucks she think she are? (GOD DAMN IT!)----That what was i feel back at that time, but now, i forgives her eventhough a scar in my heart never heals to forget with what was happen.

And i, well......fails 2 subjects which cause me an extra semester in the end. I'm need 2 semester to get up and improve my CGPA. But now, after this several years, its still haunted and that's why i'm still not have any intention to go back to my hometown(as some of those are asking me why i'm still no going back to Sarawak).

I'm guess i will going back after i'm become "Bill Gates" or "Tony Stark" or maybe an Emperor......whose knows right.....hahahhahahahah

I'm Back In The Blog...

2010-12-06T05:38:00.003+08:00

Well, it’s been a long.long time. I just wrapped up this 3, 4 years just to get everything well. I'm just manage to get my job to another level from nothing. Busy to get my lifes back, More or less still struggling to achieve what i have dream during my school years.
During several years of this, as you may have noticed, I pretty much stopped blogging. Sorry, gang — I’ll do my best to get back in the saddle now, with more baddest, sensitive, bold issues or may be with what is going around me (i think it is pretty good start after several years stop blogging)
Ordinarily, of course, taking a break is no big deal. You all probably assumed, correctly, that I was on vacation. Heck, the blog is free, so it’s not like you’re getting ripped off because you’re not getting your daily Pogue. Right?
Or so I thought.
But times are changing(but my luck is not..hahahah). I’m not sure what to make of this development. suggested that next time, may be i should post some reruns.
Or maybe just suggest that you too, take a vacation.

God Damn China!

2009-06-11T19:07:00.006+08:00

Hi, its been a while i'm not updating my blog. Currently i'm still with my jobs and "in the process of obtaining promotion". By the way i'm still out of internet connection since my last housemate are taking all of our only worldwide connection.

The reason that what makes me want to update this blog are I'M REALLY PISSED OFF WITH ALL CHINA MADE PRODUCTS". China is the most scumbag country in the world! Afghanistan, Iraq or any other villains country is better than this BLOODSUCKING RATS!

China is world no 1 producer of clone, low quality, annoying, fake, shit, crap (and whatever you want to say) products. Ranging from food to car, all have been they clone! If human they could clone, they will does!. But for now, they only things that i have not seen a chinese crap is a house. Maybe they already clone their whole family too. in my opinion, Chinese people is more lower than animal, they are only fit for fucking and slavery!

What i really want to share is the differences between real Nokia N95 and fake fucking chinese crap Nokia N95. Since I nearly buy this chinese scumbag crap, i want to share with all of you(Luckily i have manage buy REAL, GENUINE and ORIGINIAL Nokia N95).

So here is the differences...

"Behold the “Nokla N95″ touch-screen smartphone. A clone of the N95 that’s manufactured by some scrubby company in China. Sellers claim that the phone has a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, and even a touch-screen display!(Ni yang tak boleh tahan ni!) Unfortunately what they usually don’t tell you is that the “Nokla” is dual-band 900/1800 which makes it pretty useless in the USA".

There’s some telltale signs that you need to watch out for when it comes to the N95.Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two phones, frontal view.

Note:
The stylus-driven menu buttons (red box).

The fake N95 has a “touch-screen” with a stylus, and the easiest way to spot the counterfeit is by checking this area. If you see a row of little icons (compare to the real N95, bottom), then it’s a knock-off.
Wrong buttons and no dual-slide. (yellow and green boxes)

In place of the real N95’s Menu/Multimedia Key buttons, the fakey N95 has a Play button (yellow box) and a Stop button (green box). This is mainly because it doesn’t have a dual-slide mechanism, so whoever designed the knock-off dropped the playback buttons anywhere. And since there’s no Symbian OS, there’s no need for the menu buttons either.

Back view of the real and fake N95s:
The Color. The real Nokia N95 comes in two colors: Silver/Plum and Silver/Sand (sort of a silvery-yellowish color). The plum and sand colors refer to the back cover of the phone (which includes the sides too). However, the counterfeit has a back cover that’s black.
Lens Cover Thumb-Switch (orange box). Doesn’t exist on the fake N95, but very prominent on the real thing.

Nokia Logo (teal box).
When the two phones are looked at from this angle, note the difference in the logo placement, size, and direction (it’s flipped on the fake).

Some random camera oddity on the fake (purple box). Not sure what this piece is supposed to be, but there’s some random design on the Nokla N95 (the knock-off) that’s in the shape of a 3. Don’t be fooled! Also note that the buttons on the fake look cheaper and are raised slightly higher than they’re supposed to be.

So i hope you could make a difference those are genuine or some chinese fucking crap! DESTROY AND ANNIHILATE CHINA WE MUST!!!

Admit Your Fault

2007-06-29T15:32:00.000+08:00

How do you deal with your past mistakes?
Today, I'd like to recommend a great way to burden your mind, waste time, and lower your self-esteem.
It's called Condemning Yourself for Past Mistakes.
Try it out on yourself and people you dislike! It's very easy to do, and anyone can do it. It’s great for injecting endless hours of frustration and stress into your life!
I've known many people who do this very well, but just in case you're having some difficulty, here are some pointers to send you on your way?
First, think of all the things you did or failed to do in the past.
Especially, things which you cannot do anything about it now. Constantly remind yourself of them and beat yourself up for them.
A good way to do this is to keep whining about them. If you can regularly complain to others, it is even better! Remember to sigh a lot too. There's nothing like constant verbal repetition for these past mistakes to really stick.
Then, tell yourself that you'll never be able to adjust your behavior to prevent similar errors in future. Learning from mistakes just never crossed your mind. Remember, self-improvement is a myth.
This kind of thinking will start a vicious cycle. Remembering how incapable, unlovable, and foolish you are will enable you to continue repeating past mistakes. Now this part is essential in order for the entire self-loathing process to work.
In no time, you'll be able to whittle your self-esteem down to such a degree that you will have no problem thinking you're absolutely incapable of success and happiness. The strategy is laughably simple: reinforce negative thoughts and experiences and they will inevitably lead to negative feelings and outcomes.
Remember, you are not special, you are not unique. The world simply doesn't need another loser like you. If you're doing everything right, by this time, you would have lost most of your friends, alienated your family members, lost your appetite for food and life, and are looking forward to a lonely, meaningless existence.
So, if you're ever bored, and need to kill some time, depress your spirit and embrace failure as lord of your life, try condemning yourself for past mistakes. Have fun!

Cracked Pot

2007-06-28T15:40:00.000+08:00

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots was perfectly made and never leaked. The other pot had a crack in it and by the time the water bearer reached his master's house it had leaked much of it's water and was only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you." "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?" "I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.
The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again the pot apologized to the bearer for its failure.
The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house."
Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But if we will allow it, God will use our flaws to grace his table. In God's great economy, nothing goes to waste. Don't be afraid of your flaws. Acknowledge them, and you too can be the cause of beauty. Know that in our weakness we find our strength.

Lesson From 20 Bucks

2007-06-27T12:39:00.000+08:00

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it."

Banana

2007-03-19T15:37:00.000+08:00

This is very interesting.After Reading this, you'll NEVER look at bananas in the same way again
It contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, it gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two of this fruit provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder it is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way it can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating this fruit. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat this fruit. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating this fruit at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. This fruitcalms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on this fruit between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of the fruit skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: These fruits are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: These fruits are used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see these fruits as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): These fruits can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking: These fruits can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, "eating these fruits as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, this fruit really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.
So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
PS Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time

Are You Still A Virgin?

2007-03-15T16:16:00.000+08:00

It is a well-known fact that virginity is what you, girls, hold as your most priced possession, and once you lose it, there's no going back.
There might be surgical procedures in order to be a "virgin" again. However, you have already experienced the act of becoming one with a partner, and that basically means you have already lost your virginity -in simple lay men's terms, you've popped the cherry!
But does this conservative outlook still exist in this modern, liberated world?
Is virginity still important?
I think that it is just another one of men's ways to become superior to women.
Why is it such a shame for girls to lose their virginity, and such a "cool thing" for men to have done it hundreds of times?
Honestly, I think that girls should not let men use this as an excuse to make you, girls, feel bad about ourselves. It is best to lose it with someone you love very dearly, but if you've already lost it way before you met the right guy, then don't let that make you think less of yourself because there is nothing wrong with losing it. It doesn't make you a whore or a slut, it makes you normal. Now, it would be stupid if you didn't learn from your mistakes, but losing your virginity doesn't mean that the world has stopped. Go on living girl! Don't listen to all those sexists who discriminate girls who are no longer virgins, because most likely they have never been laid, or that they are just bitter because they have and it was lame.
What do you think?
For me I hope you girls out there, do sex with your love ones after marry.

Vice Versa

2007-03-14T16:47:00.000+08:00

It may sound ironical that your BEST FRIENDS are your WORST enemies; and that your WORST enemies are your BEST FRIENDS!
Let me explain the irony. Your BEST friends will only tell you lies to make you happy. They will only say things that you want to hear; and you will be a fool to listen to all the niceties that they tell you. They flatter you like nobody's business. They will not utter the unpleasant things; and when TRUTH finally dawns , it may be too late to recover.
Take one example. If you are the leader of a political Party and could decide the candidature in an election, you will be praised sky high; and all the eager candidates will follow you wherever you go. They will squat neat your office the whole day and wait for you; and to have an audience with you. They are the YES-men ; and they will curry favour with you. Every word you say is the truth! They will say that you are the BEST leader the Party has ever had. They will say that you have leadership qualities; and you have the calibre to lead the Party to greater heights. BUT, if you drop them like hot potatoes in the candidates' list in the election, they will say that you are the worst leader on earth; and they have LOST confidence in your leadership! So, just imagine , one minute you are the guardian angel; and the next minute you are the devil!
Remember the occasion when the Datuk Seri Ahmad Badawi was in the political wilderness . Even the closest friends deserted him; and avoided him like a plague! Now they play gold with him! And what happened to the former Prime Minister? Even though he is an advisor to Proton, his advice is not even sought for ! So ,beware the YES-men.
Then there are your enemies . They are forever critical of you . Every idea of yours is no good. Of course, they give their reasons. Listen to their criticisms and their arguments. There may be some truths in what they say. take the good and reject the bad . Sieve the wheat from the chaff. They are the NO-men.
Take for example the Opposition parties. They may oppose some or all your ideas. Forget the NO-men who will oppose everything you say. Be on the look -out for the YES-NO men among them. These men will say NO on certain issues; and YES for others. They are your BEST friends. They tell the truth. Listen to them.
So in politics and in business and also in families, you will find the Yes-men, the No-men and the Yes-No men. Take your pick among the people.

A Poems

2007-03-13T16:21:00.000+08:00

So much so I have always wish,
That a rich tauke will offer me a job,
Your floor I will mop,
Your pc screen I will clean.

Colleagues go for kuih-muih and tea,
I will stay to work O.T.,
Your cellphone not working,
Let me help recharge the battery.

Give me a few ringgit,
I will pick up your laundry,
Provide me meals,
I will pick up your hoo-ha kids.

Give me more tips,
I can analyze for you Shakespeare hits,
Provide me a motor with kit,
I will buy and sell for your company.

Friends are out on weekends,
I am also out but collecting soda cans,
Mom says every penny,
Really worth a luxury.

Countless positions I applied,
Hardly any calls,
Neither interview nor reply,
So much so I felt like wanna cry,
My wish will remain a wish

Don't Know What To Be Thankful For?

2007-03-12T16:59:00.000+08:00

The following is something to ponder if you don't know what to be thankful for.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church or synagogue meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death ... you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married ... you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful ... you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder ... you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Now isn’t that something to ponder about?

2007-03-09T16:49:00.000+08:00

I am interested in the search of knowledge and facts, interesting discourse and debate, and also journeys exploring people, relationships and circumstances, even if they are just imagined plots of some creative minds. I love to rummage through records of such wisdom, adventures and experiences. Don’t you admire such intellectual pursuits?
Maybe you do. However, if that simply means I like to read books on various subjects, would your perception change? “Oh, so you are a bookworm.” Thoughts of stereotyped weird nerdy types may emerge. It is unbelievable how peaceful book lovers have been given such a bad but incorrect image but many of us do not care.
When I step into a really good bookshop, I felt awed by its enormous store of wisdom, knowledge, and legacies from thousands of years of Man’s history. Here lies innumerable revelations and thoughts from the best brains, colossal figures or just another friendly chap next door, to expound their theories, impart their knowledge, enrich our lives or just brighten up our day.
There is an old Chinese saying that in books you will find maidens with complexions like jade and houses made of gold. It means that the knowledge and wisdom captured in books can make you wealthy and gain you the approving hands of the most beautiful ladies around. How profound and inspiring (and a little sexist too).
Beyond the bread, butter and gold, books can be your faithful companions for life. Cultivate this as a regular habit for it can usefully see you through many empty hours and days. Read regularly and wide. It will serve you well. Do not let the high price of books, absence of public libraries or other constraints discourages you, even though much could be done by our government about this. With another weekend approaching, isn’t it time to look for a good read and happily ease yourself into it !

Be Thankful

2007-03-08T18:15:00.000+08:00

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip,
the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
This was passed on to you to help you refresh your perspective and appreciation.
"Life is too short and friends are too few.". If you practice being thankful every day, it won't be long before you notice changes in your life.
Waiting in line at the grocery store isn't irritating--if you're happy that there's food available and you have money to buy it. Even the high price of gasoline isn't as distressing when you're grateful that you have a car to put it in.

Absence Of Comparison

2007-03-07T17:44:00.000+08:00

Ever wondered why you see rural children and their parents and entire families beaming away in photos or videos? They are happy with what they have. The key to that type of happiness is the absence of comparison.
People in the city are totally of the opposite. We look at others in envy of what they have; good looks, big cars, big houses and many more. Why do we stress ourselves so much? It is not wrong to set goals to achieve and it is definitely good to want to improve on one-self. However, it is detrimental to compare with another person and get envious. You’ll start setting unreasonable goals and push yourself to the limit just to get where you want.
Don’t join the crazy rat race for the sake of success. Why not take some time to reflect on what you have? Success has no meaning if you don’t enjoy it. You may all the cars and houses that money can buy, but is your health good? Is your relationship with your family strong? Students like to rush to compare exam marks after getting their results. Some teenagers like to compare their looks with actors and actresses. Some couples compare marriages. Some people even like to compare who has the more expensive cell phone! As the list goes on, it just gets more ridiculous.
Comparison is the root of stress. Not a single person is destined to have everything. In the simple towns and villages, their wealth is pretty much well distributed and therefore they are not compelled to compare with each other. Take that scenario, assimilate and adapt it into our urban lives. It’s alright to be jealous, but never envy.

Haven’t We Learned?

2007-03-06T15:27:00.000+08:00

There’s a reason why we are thought History in school, it's so we understand where we came from and how we got here, to learn from our past mistakes and to improve on our short-comings, but yet. Haven’t we learned?
If the Al-Qaeda would have learned and understood history, they would reflect back on Pearl Harbor and taken heed. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still living with the traces of destruction that happened 50 years ago. Messing with America is like poking a stick into a hive of agitated and anxious bees. He who has the biggest gun wins. Iraq paid the price of-course, for no seemingly valid reason. To me it was a classic case of what I’d call scape-goatism. Pin the blame on the next best thing. It had to be done for reasons beyond our means of comprehension, so they say. Haven’t we learned?
I'm not pointing fingers or saying that it's anyone’s fault, some people do drastic things because of desperation, some people go to extremes to prove a point, and in the end everybody looses especially the innocent lives, the women and the children. Haven’t we learned?
Now, North Korea and Iran should pay close attention to history because it will be plain stupid not to. I'll tell you why, it's not because we are afraid of our oppressors, it is not because we are giving up on our dreams of a democratic and free world, it is not because of who has the biggest guns or the most advance nuclear technology or enough oil supply to last 7 generations. It is about learning from our past and moving on so our future can live the life our fore-fathers fought and died for. Haven’t we learned?
When you play with a child, most often or not you give in to what he wants even if it’s not in your best interest or liking and it’s only because he's a child, he does not know better or understand enough. This is the same with responding to bigger and complex situations such as today. It’s common-sense and off-course, it requires ample of tolerance and understanding. For a nation or a group, or even an individual, to step back and admit that they were wrong and should start doing things differently because we are replicated repeats of our past, and to be able to stop and re-evaluate our options while we still can and to be the first to initiate a change, is so hard to do. Why? It is relatively simple really, say you’re sorry and move on. But no, saying sorry is a sign of weakness that bad people uses against you and will slowly feed upon. Haven’t we learned?
Let us fight and unite for what’s really important and what really matters like global warming, diseases and plagues, hunger and education. The sad fact is, we won’t, because we don’t care enough, it's not our problem, somebody in the government or some social responsibility front will take care of it, we are sure of this and we are right to think so. Aren’t we? Someone will handle it. We got on well so far didn’t we? Wrong! We have got on so well and gained so much that we have so much more to lose today than any time in history.
Haven’t we learned?

Something To Ponder

2007-03-05T18:39:00.000+08:00

Why do we need to study? – To earn us a place in the working industry.
Why do we need to work? – So that we’ll get paid handsomely.
Why do we need money? – So that we can survive this life
Why do we need to survive this life? …

Some people may answer ‘because God gave us life’(this is the most nonsense answer). But many didn’t have to answer to this question.
If studying up to degree level can ‘book’ us a good position in the working world, why are there so many unemployed graduates? And in many cases, Masters Graduates had to lie in their resumes that they only had a degree in hand, simply because ‘their qualification is too high for the position’. So is it true that the higher your education level, the better job you’ll get?
And who said that we’ll get paid handsomely if we work smart and hard enough? Everything seemed to have an increase in price, except for salaries. This issue had been brought up many times, especially during the 30 percents raise in petrol price. Are we really getting what we are worth?
No money to talk. True enough, without money, we are unlikely to survive well in this world. But what’s really the true meaning of survival? Sitting there, reading the newspaper, knowing how some countries are badly hit by disasters, how the society had changed for the worse… Is this what we are living for? Is this the reason why we want to survive this life? To see all sorts of negativity happening every day?
Do we want to live this life just because we are given life, or is there more to it? What’s the purpose of life? It’s something I’m always in search for the answer. Perhaps, somebody can enlighten me?

The Ring

2007-03-02T18:49:00.000+08:00

What does wearing a ring on our 3rd or 4th finger represent?..Regardless of which hand, I just found out that both hands can be applied to represent being married. Depending on culture & religion.
The most obvious reason is either:

"I'm enganged!"
"I'm married!"
"I'm in a relationship!"

OR

"I love to wear rings"

The more depressing reason:
"I don't want people to think I cant find someone who'd give me a ring"

The most recent reason,and I somewhat agree:
"To avoid unwanted problems/issues/headache"

It's interesting to understand why a person wears a ring. I've learn that one should not assume that a person wearing a ring is unavailable.But then again, there are a lot of possibilities.
Although it is a first sign and a rule of the game where if a person is wearing a ring on the 3rd or 4th finger, its most likely the person is taken or want to seem taken, therefore it would be better to just skip the person. And maybe save yourself from some humiliation.
But then again, I wear a ring on my 3rd finger, left hand. What does that tell you?...I'm engaged?...At first glance, hmmmm.....
But here's my reasons for wearing it there:

- It is part of a birthday gift from my relative.
- Its a beautiful ring, why keep it in a box??..its meant to be worn.
- I wear it not on my 3rd right coz that finger is bigger than my left and its a bit tight.
- Wearing on 2nd left finger, looks weird for this ring, plus not professional. Let's not even go to the thumb or pinky.
- I'm right-handed, I feel it disturbs my pen holding technique.
- The most comfortable finger to wear is my 3rd left finger.

So I wear it there.
But that doesn't mean anything, in my case. Just an accessory. I'm not trying to imply anything. Just broadcasting my thoughts thats all.
In essence, just don't make assumptions hastily.

P/s:There is some correction for my previous entry on "What Was I Thinking About" which i stated that "I will always update this blog like before except for Sunday". It is actually "I will always update this blog like before except for Saturday and Sunday".

How do You Define Sensitive?

2007-03-01T18:07:00.000+08:00

My blog is actually quite boring as i'm only writing all about myself and some philosophical material which only people of high-degree intelligence will be able to digest,understand and finally achieve----enlightenment. How beautiful the world would be if all the living beings on earth seek my blog as their source of inspiration and aspiration. I'm so full of myself, BIG time snob. Just kidding.
There are many restrictions which need to be followed and OBEYED TO avoid myself from landing into the hot soup with who-knows-who (officers from agencies that i don't know of with bombastic names could just grab you by your fingers and put you into remand) if i want to stay as a blogger.
Thus,all i can do is blabbering about my life and preaching, refraining from BIG sizzling hot subjects. Sensitive issues, insensitive issues: what's sensitive to me,might not be as sensitive to you. What's trivial to me, might be something which might cause a major uproar to you just by me merely breathing on a strain of hair on the issue.
What i'm trying to imply here is that, the term "sensitive" could be very subjective and relative in meaning,depending on the interpretation of the individual based on their upbringing, background, class history and most importantly, their senses and ability to differentiate the right from the wrong based on their OWN values.
Supposedly animals behave following their instincts. But they mutated throughout history, trying to defend themselves from humans. Now,even animals are thinking! Evidence: The resident cat in the residence hall i'm staying(during my study years) prefer chicken from a very well-known fast food chicken chain to the pathetic-looking fried chicken served by the dining hall. Smart feline!
If animals can think,isn't it degrading for the homo sapiens if we choose not to use our abilities to rationalize?
It's not possible to sweep all the dust under the carpet in order to make your house looks clean and perfect when JUST the spot under the carpet itself is able to falsify the state of TOTAL cleanliness of your house.
Maybe it's better for you to change your mindset of sweeping dust under the carpet to sweeping and disposing properly into the bin. Anyway, it's an analogy.
What is life made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice? It only happens in nursery rhymes. Living in false-consciousness and being manipulated, THAT'S what life's really made of.
Thanks to the indoctrinate product of society! With all the analytical skills that we've been taught throughout our schooling and college years, shouldn't we make good use of them in the real world?

Crazy Crystals

2007-02-28T17:20:00.000+08:00

I believe most of us love crystals right? Some of us willing to pay a lots of money just to buy one. While others just could see it from a distance far. What is a crystal actually?
In chemistry and mineralogy, a crystal is a solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.
The word crystals originates from the Greek word "Krystallos" meaning clear ice, and once referred particularly to quartz, rock crystal.
Generally, crystals form when they undergo a process of solidification. Under ideal conditions, the result may be a single crystal, where all of the atoms in the solid fit into the same crystal structure. However, generally, many crystals form simultaneously during solidification, leading to a polycrystalline solid. For example, most metals encountered in everyday life are polycrystals. Crystals are often symmetrically inter grown to form crystal twins (for more details, just visit the wikipedia.com).
Some of the crystals we could make it on our own while others need to be go through the nature process. I still remember back at my school day, we done some science experiment in making a crystal. Some of us really good in making it while others just cannot finish the experiment. Here is the receipts that i used to make a crystal during my school days.
What you need to have in making crystals is powdered alum which is you could find some in spice section of the supermarket, water, a small pan, a wooden spoon, food coloring-green for emeralds, red for rubies, black for diamonds, yellow for topaz and blue for sapphire, several small jars and paper towels.
After you prepared for all of this ingredients, you are ready to go. Now just follow below instruction.

1. Measures 4 teaspoons of water and 3 teaspoons of alum into the pan
2. Add drops of food coloring to achieve the desire color
3. Bring the mixtures to a complete boil, stirring for a few seconds until all of the alum is dissolved.
4. Allow the mixtures to cool 2 minutes. Carefully pour the alum solution into the jar and let it uncovered and undisturbed for 3 days. Soon you will begin to see crystals forming at the bottom of the jar. do not move the jar.
5. After 3 days, carefully pour off the excess water and gently remove the crystals. spreed them evenly on a paper towel to dry.

And you will see your own crystals. Happy trying...

A Story

2007-02-27T16:44:00.000+08:00

Well, i have a story that i want to share with you all. I don't know where did i get the story. Maybe i has read about it somewhere in the newspaper or the internet. Its about a drunken man with a happy ending.
Well the story begin with a man who work very hard and just complete his big project which is assigned by his company. In order to celebrate his success, his colleagues brought him to a bar and celebrated it. This man who is very happy with his achievement, drink a lot of alcohol like there is no tomorrow.Seeing this man was so drunk, his colleagues takes him home without he himself know that he is already at home.
On the way to the bedroom, he smashed a lot of thing in his way. Because of he is too drunk, he does not know that he already broken several flower vasts that his wife loves so much. He also broken their television, Hi-Fi and his son computer. His wife was so angry and she pour some water into him but its still does not work. Because of he is so drunk and wet, his wife have to undress him so that he will not dirty their bed.
On the next morning, when he wake up, he looks everything is so tidy and well managed like there is nothing happen last night. Then he look up at their bed, there is a shirt and trousers for him to go to work and it is already iron. Then he looks at the lamp table near the bed, there is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water with a note. He read the note which stated that " if you still got an headache take the aspirins ok! and i love you too! your honey"
With his head still in headache, he go to the kitchen and saw his son still taking his breakfast. then he looks around and saw everything is so clean and tidy like nothing is happen before. Eager to know what is going on, he ask his son on what has happen last night.
His son smiles at him and said " daddy, when you get home last night, you are so drunk and lost your consciousness". Then he ask again his son " did i broken something last night?" and his son answer him "yes and everything is so mess". And he ask again his son " then why it looks so tidy and clean now? and did your mom angry with me?"
His son smiles at him and say that " No, mum is not angry with you but she look very happy". Because of his son confusing answer, he ask again "why???". Then his son with with laugh answer his question " Well, because of you are so drunk, mom try undress you but you refuse and not let her to do that and you also said "Heh bitch! get away from me! I love my wife very much and i have a son! I want to go home now! They are waiting for me! Go Away!" Because of that mom is so happy and know you daddy is such a loyal and good husband... hahahaha..."
so that is the story that i wan to share and the moral of the story is even you get so drunk try to get some excuse that will your wife not angry with you.

What Was I Thinking About

2007-02-26T16:40:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone, its been very long time i'm not updating this blog so here we are. Before that i want to say sorry cause i have to extend the publishing this entry about 2 hours late then what i was promise before.
Anywhere i always talks about community act of kindness, foreign affairs, national affairs and so on. So today how about i talks about myslf. yes, what i means i want to share with you a little bit of my secret and facts. I hope you will not bored to read this entry.
But first i would like to answer Nonnie King question in her comments entry about whether i will blogs more in this coming future in her blog-Spiritual Garden??? The answer is Yes. I will update this blog just like before except for Sunday. Unless there is a reason, then i will post an entry on Sunday. Other that that, its is just like usual but with a little bit different in what i will talks about.
Secondly, as i go through all the links to the others blogs, i notices that some of the blog are no longer available. What was happen to those??? I become so curios to know that. i hope those blogger are still continuing their hobbies as a blogger.
Okey, enough for all of that, here is the main thing of this entry. Recently, i always thinking about someone. I'm eager to know how is she right now(errrrr... did i mention she? Yup! its is she-see the picture at upper left corner of this entry and hope that is she's latest picture/photo).
Her name is Miss Dxxxx. Well, what i want to tell here is the facts and secrets between us for more or less that 5 years relationships (2000-2007). Miss D, i don't know whether you read this blog or not so forgive me if what i gonna said here is affecting you. Its is not my attention to insults, humiliate or anything else(sorry for using your picture without your permission).But i just want you and the readers to know that what is has happen between us.
Miss D do you know that why i'm always want to capture your heart after all of this years? It is because you are the FIRST female that i really love. But the things is never work out well. yeah, i know who i am. I'm does not have anything to compared to you. I'm ugly,fat,short,unemployed and come from a poor family. So who am i right?
I know this girl since i was at second semester during my diploma at the year of 2000. Since then i always want to be with her. Since i know her, we has become a very close friend. In fact i'm become her most special friend. But what's the point? What for if a male is so close to you if it does not want to be your boyfriend. I don't see any difference between special friend and a boyfriend. If does there is a difference, i think it is just a very thick line to separate it. It is too invisible to notices it.
That is not all, every time you are in a deep shit or need someone, i'm will be the first one that you are looking for. Why me? I'm not your counselor, not your brother, not your father and the most thing is i'm not your boyfriend. Its really confusing don't you know that. I don't want to be your fit stop in formula 1 every time you need comfort.
Yeah, i know now it is useless, we are no longer like before after that big fight(Do you know that i was intentionally looking for a fight with you?and why? It is because i'm enough to go through this all over again. Everytime you need someone, you will looks for me and when you in a happy moments, you will DUMP me and that is not all, the other reason is because i want to be more that just a friend). What can i say? I have try to understand you for this 5 years. I has try my best to get you and i'm not that desperate to get you. How do you feels on your first guy that you really loves. I bet you never forget about him right? and you always want to be with him even there is no chances at all right? So that is how i feels for all of those years(especially the moment that i kiss you). Now i'm give up and i'm willing to let you go away from my life like i never know you before. To all readers, does this means i'm an easily give up person? Judge it by yourself. i don't know how you call that as for 5 years more or less, i has try my best to get/flirt her. What i know that is the most stupid thing that i ever done.
Besides that, there is other things that you should know. first, do you still remember when we have the first cold war? At that time, i was put a curse on you. It sound some sort of this " If i cannot get you then nobody should get you" Starting that moments(I believe this is what were happen) you will not find anyone will suit you (unless me...hihihihihi) even you already find someone that you loves very much and he loves you too, you will not have him. How many boyfriends that you have since 2000? I believe it is more then 2 but none of it really work out right?
Last But not least, please forgive me for all wrong things that i have done to you and as for you, even i'm bow to my principle that it is very hard to forgive and the hardest thing is to forget...i forgive you.
So Miss D, i wish you a lot of happiness with your love now and also Happy Belated 26 Birthday(February 15), may your wish come true...

p/s-At last i feels so relief now and ~~miss her a lot now~~

I wish all my friends, colleagues and readers a very Chinese New Year. It does not matter these days whether the festive is for a particular race or not. We all celebrate the holidays one way or another. For me, CNY is a good day to recover from the bad flu that I am having, get more sleep, watching good Chinese movies on Astro and playing plenty of computer games
So, what holds for me in the Year of the Boar? Well, it does not look good. I am an Rooster (ok, Metal Rooster to be precise) and anyone born in the Year of the Rooster may not be having a good year in 2006 (I have checked in 3 different sources and the result is all the same). I got this from somewhere and let’s see that again:-

Rooster (1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005)

The Rooster is well-known for his or her impeccable fashion taste and is very sociable and a hard worker. So this year, the rooster has to make double time and double effort to make an average potential financial growth in business and work. The presence of the heavenly dog star in this sign for this year warns about robbery and deceit. Take extra care when hiring people for home and for business purposes. Spending too much, nightlife and night travels are to be avoided. The Rooster is afflicted by the annual 3 killings star. So try to wear the 3 rudraksha amulet. Love has to wait till next year to bloom. So be patient.

Generally, as there is no special affiliation between Rooster and Pig, this should be an average period for the Rooster.

* Good Relationship: between Ox, Snake, Dragon
* Conflicts with: Rabbit, Dog, Rooster
* Lucky charms: fortune money charm, money maker holo, dragon tortoise, wealth lotus vase, mystic charm bracelet
* Lucky colors: blue black
* Lucky number: please visit FengShui Lucky Charms Store at C.VENTURA - Divisoria

If you want to know more, you could go to Buzzle.com or any others feng shui site. I'm still does not have time and opportunity to update this blog. The problem always come and go. After a month i unable to be online, my Aztech modem unable function properly which extends the period of not to update the blog. So i'm so sorry, i might update this blog like before starts next week. May you all still have the patience to read my blog in the year of the boar.

Well, I'm Back To Blogging

2007-01-07T15:29:00.000+08:00

Ever since September 29th, I have been off line from the computer. So, I haven't had the chance to blog at all (actually there is a chances). I was on the computer a bit on the weekends, but I felt like I should wait until I was ungrounded again before returning to the blogs. For your information, part of my problem actually already solved by the beginning of October last year. I'm could online and blog again by the first week of October but there is something else that need my attention and make me extend my period of holiday from blogging.
First, there is some computer problem which i needed to switch back my motherboard to the old one and some "laziness" problem to update the blog. I can see a lot of stuff has happened since my last visited....new bloggers, new pictures for the blogs, and new news!
By the way, it is not to late too wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2007 and all your wish come true.
I know i miss a lot but this was a more of a 'YAY!! I'm back!' kind of blog than anything else, but I am glad to finally be un-grounded and back online. I plan to start back on blogging by the end of this week or later.

Survival Of The Fittest

2006-09-28T16:51:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, something happened to a young person that i know, that brought back unpleasant memories of my growing up years. It got me thinking again and again.
Do we really need to teach our children uncompromising virtues? Because the real world is full of compromises. Do we need to teach our children true honesty when the real world is thriving by manipulating it? Do we need to teach our children ultimate fairness and justice when power can be corrupted? Do we need to teach them humility when it is treated more like a sign of weakness than courage?
Why do we keep teaching our children these idealistic notions when we ourselves as a community of this world are living a different story of abuse, manipulation, compromise and hypocrisy.
Probably thats why there comes a point in their lives, when our kids come out their fairytale notions, they start looking at us differently, some even delusioned by the real world. Some even angry at us for raising them around lies. Is it our selfishness to keep them in their innocence as long as we can in the hope of reliving our idealistic yesteryears?
The strange part, even then, afterwards, after all the unpleasant awakenings, we still continue living in this self woven web of lies for many reasons, cause it is the only way to survive.

Try It At Home

2006-09-27T15:08:00.000+08:00

The human body is such an amazing creation that it is often taken for granted, until one day we get troubled by some serious ailments. To keep in shape, regular cardio-vascular exercises (involving your heart and lungs) are highly recommended. You need to get to a state of being a little out of breadth but not too quickly that you cannot maintain your pace.
‘Twenty minutes, thrice a week’ that’s the suggested advice by our DPM (Deputy Prime Minister), for inactive Malaysians to keep themselves fit. This is good guideline and my own rule too. I have however, one further qualifier: ‘not more than two days break between each exercise session’. This may not sound a lot to the regular gym or sports enthusiasts but will require some effort from the busier (or lazier) ones.
Speaking from experience, this frequency can be easier met if you can find at least one type of exercises to do in the comfort and convenience of your home. Popular outdoor exercises like walking, jogging or swimming are subject to the vagaries of our weather. Others may need to travel (to gyms or recreation clubs) or constrained by security concerns. In such situations, it is often handy to find some exercises (or alternative exercises) to do in the safety of your home.
You don’t need to sulk just because you are kept indoors. Exercising at home may sound boring but it is really all in your mind. I do enjoy the great outdoors and I will like to get out there for my regular exercises but I am not unhappy if I can and have to sweat it out at home too.
Exercising at home can be inexpensive and can fit in with a busy schedule too. You must however be prepared to do without the company of others (perhaps except your dogs and cats!). Besides exercise bikes or like equipment, there are traditional alternatives like aerobics, yoga, qigong, or tai chi. I have tried simpler exercises like skipping, stretching and workouts on a trampoline, and they are great too.
Let nothing stands in your way to keeping yourself healthy and let there be no excuses. If you adopt an open mind, you will find some good exercises that you can regularly do and all in the comfort of your home too.

Selamat Berpuasa

2006-09-26T08:05:00.000+08:00

The Holy month of Puasa(fasting) already starts and there is a lot of excitement when it comes to buying food for buka puasa time during this special month. A Muslim friend of mine complained that she always put on weight inspite of the fasting that she does.
Being a non moslem myself........'Buka puasa' time is the time I enjoy the most as well. Not only do I get to eat with my muslim friends...I also find immense pleasure browsing round at all the different food stalls that are everywhere. This is where I have learned that buying and eating everything in sight is not a good idea as well. There is so much of food to see and buy .....it is like going to a 'pasar malam'(night market) everynight and it is cheap as well. .
The best part of it all is that...at the end of the Puasa time...there is more food to look forward to on Raya Day...and of course ....not forgetting Deepavali as well. Everyone says that the economy is bad...but with all these glorious food that are being cooked and sold for buka puasa time..... are we really having a bad time? I think we are truly lucky people and should be appreciative with what we have compared to so many people around the world.
To all my Muslim friends...'Selamat Berpuasa'

Corrupted Law Enforcer

2006-09-22T17:58:00.000+08:00

I’ve been hearing all this talk and blog about giving the police force a pay rise but does anyone really think it’ll work? Isn’t it another one of those,'throw-money-at-the-problem-and-pray-that-it-works' solution? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for giving them a pay rise but for the right reasons.
In my opinion, even if the police force does get a pay rise, these 'incentive payments' that we're so used to giving would not stop because the culture runs rampant. It's almost as if they get paid on a 'commission' basis and their salary is the base pay. Many of us have experienced these ‘duit kopi' scenarios. Be it at a road block or at the balai(Police stations). Are we saying that it’s okay for these ILLEGAL transactions to happen because they’re underpaid? Sure seems like it.
Okay, let’s come at this from a different angle. Law enforcement and crime prevention. We have got to a point where the crime rate is scaring some of us into being prisoners in our own homes. My mum even shows me ‘kung fu’ manoeuvres on how to stop snatch thieves whenever I head down to the shops to get a Slurpee! We’re hoping that a pay rise will actually make them enforce the law. Seriously, how long do you think it’s going to last? Does that mean that the next time they want a pay rise, they should do literally nothing? Isn’t this a form of blackmail? Either way, they’ve got us by the metaphoric balls.
A poster or badge promoting anti-corruption is just a bunch of words on a piece of material if nobody takes it seriously. The people that have to take it seriously are those at the top. A change is more effective coming from the top down as opposed to bottom up. Continuous courses in morals, integrity and a duty of care should be incorporated into their training regime to instil a sense of purpose. Putting on that uniform should mean something. We, the citizens need them. I’m sure that a lot of recruits join the police force to help people but they could never fight the system/culture. Let’s build a strong team for the good guys shall we? I afraid that I might pull a muscle one day learning my mum’s ‘kung fu’ moves.

Rude At Its Best

2006-09-21T17:46:00.000+08:00

I've always had a "fear" of visiting the Immigration department or the IC department for fear of meeting rude and impatient personnels. However, my friends assured me that things were changing and that the personnels have been taught to provide service with a smile.
Thus, gathering some courage, I went to the immigration today to get my friend passport . The first lady who handed out the form was really helpful. She certainly provided service with a smile and was really patient and helpful. So I thought so far so good.
Then, we handed in our forms. Minutes later my friend was called upon to write a letter. The lady who told me to write the letter REALLY REALLY ticked me off big time, and she sent my temperature and blood pressure soaring sky high. She was RUDE, ARROGANT and OBNOXIOUS! She insulted my friend by making remarks which insinuated that my friend was dumb and uneducated! It all started because she was impatient, and reluctant to tell my friend what in the world the letter was for, and what my friend had to write! How in the world was my friend supposed to read her mind?
*woohhhh*(writing this sends my blood pressure soaring too!) If I did not practice self control, I would have blasted her head off with remarks of my own!! Thank God, I did not bow to that temptation. I bit my tongue and patiently asked till someone else was kind enough to tell me what in the world my friend had to write. I am really disgusted and angered that such people can be allowed to man the counter when they should not be placed anywhere near service counter for their lack of patience!!!
Only people persons should be allowed to man service counters. I am really pissed off!!!!!

Reading Habits

2006-09-20T15:47:00.000+08:00

I read with interest the proposed National Book Policy (NBP) put forth by the Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry. Cheaper books, more libraries and reading corners in small towns and bookshops in strategic locations are reported to be the major thrusts, together with making books more affordable and giving tax incentives.
As an avid reader, I laud such an initiative by the Ministry. It is long overdue. However, I hope it will not follow other such ambitious initiatives which are often preoccupied with providing all the ‘hardware’ but not much in addressing the ‘soft’ issues.
Providing the physical conveniences and facilities can undoubtedly help but may not have a lasting effect. Promoting the reading habit amongst Malaysians is essentially about changing mind-sets and attitudes because this is purely a voluntary activity.
I like to read because of my basic fascination and curiosity about many things that has created, enlightened and is still continuously shaping our world. Answers to many questions on What, Why, How, When, and Who will continue to enthrall me. If you want to cultivate the reading habit, you need to arouse this innate curiosity, imagination and thirst for knowledge in the public at large. This is a key challenge for the authorities.
I believe the focus of attention has to be the younger generations and the schools should be a good starting point. It is important to remake the perception about reading and make it “cool” to win the battle of the minds and other competing activities. There is some peer pressure involved and being associated with the in-thing.
It’s a crowd mentality thing and I would also suggest that initiatives to try to connect the masses with such like interest to popularize this activity. Active, popular and well connected networks or communities of avid readers who are in close touch with each other can generate momentum and sustained interest amongst themselves, as well as appeal to others to join in too.
A nation of avid readers means a nation of people that is continuously learning and progressing to better compete in a borderless world. There will probably be a subsequent announcement of a significant billion ringgit allocation to fund the various activities under the proposed NBP. It will probably awe the public but before we splash lots of money (to the joy of many contractors, book sellers, publishers and other interested parties), I hope the Ministry do ensure that the important and critical issues of how to effectively change people’s mindsets and attitudes are properly addressed. This is a commendable initiative and we hope it will succeed.

Animal Are Not To be Blame

2006-09-19T16:35:00.000+08:00

I can still vividly recall my horrific experience as a child of being chased by a pack of stray dogs as I was strolling in my neighbourhood. I would definitely have suffered injuries if my father had not come to my rescue. So now, whenever I read about cases where individuals fall victim to ferocious canine attacks, I can only imagine the horror & pain they must have experienced. The previous case about a young boy who was mauled by dogs really angered me, especially since these dogs were domestic pets with a legitimate owner.
People who keep large & potentially aggressive canines should make it their responsibility to ensure that their pets do not become a dangerous threat to the public. Those who rear guard dogs for house security reasons should never let their pets wander around unattended. The natural instinct for these animals to become aggressive & violent towards strangers & passers-by should be noted by their keepers.
These pet owners should also keep a tight leash on their dogs when taking them out on a walk. There have been cases where dog owners could not restrain their pets & their dogs ended up mauling innocent bystanders. If they are incapable of preventing their pets from causing harm, I strongly urge these individuals to keep their pets indoors until they find a safe way to walk them in public.
As for stray dogs, they often wander around neighbourhoods in packs & are also potential threats to the public. It does not help that certain individuals feed them whenever they come around. This encourages these canines to return for food all the time. With young children playing around neighbourhood streets, is this a really wise act?
If these dog-feeders really intend to do the right thing, they should call the relevant animal associations to ensure that these dogs are handled in the most appropriate manner instead of feeding them as an act of charity. Though their intentions may be good, this is not the best way to help stray animals.
Animals are not to be blamed when accidents like these happen, especially when they have owners who are supposed to watch over them. These pet owners should have a sense of responsibility & concern towards public safety. This can help prevent unfortunate & needless animal attack incidences from occurring. It is enough that we have to worry about snatch thieves, muggers & other criminals when we walk our streets. Please do not make us add the animal attack as another concern to our already long list of walk-way dangers.

Absolute Nonsense

2006-09-18T18:01:00.000+08:00

I do not understand why our nations love to care so much over something which is of no value as far as I am concerned.
What is the big deal about human face on a pinang tree in Kepala Batas until causing chaos in traffic? Aren't our friends never visit Zoo before otherwise why it was so excited to see a python at a Hindu temple in Puchong not long ago? The crowds queued up patiently to have a glance of it. People tend to believe the strange appearance of an object symbolizes something extraordinary. And the traditional one: to slow down the vehicles to gain information on how serious the accident happened (for those who still practise this, please switch this duty to reporters, ok?) and the list goes on.
It is undoubtedly curiosity is indeed a push factor for one to succed in life. But perhaps we apply it only for a better purpose which is of material eg. to read an autobiography for titbits of a successful corporate figure, to explore the mystery of planet at Science Centre, etc. But sadly, these may not be attractive enough to meet their curiosity.
To be realistic, I would like to advise our people to revaluate the Look East Policy. I think to learn the way our Asian neighbours ie. Japanese, Korean and Chinese look for breakthrough worth a study. They deserve to earn a big name worldwide especially in Motor and Electronic Industries because their curiosity in achieving goals paid off.
Lets get our mind right before it is too late unless we (Malaysian) are proud of being trademarked for aiming high fly First World Vision but stagnant at Third World Mentality forever....

Uncivilised Mat Rempit

2006-09-15T19:06:00.000+08:00

The people who talk of giving Mat Rempit a new and ‘respectable’ life, or arranging to get the gang ‘rebranded’ must be very ‘brave’ and courageous in their thinking. Are these people responsible to the Mat Rempit ? Are they responsible to fellow country men?
Assuming several thousands of them were to travel north and another several thousands from the south, and several thousands from the east coast states, Malaysia must be creating another ‘world first’. A huge gathering of motor-cycle rangers! They will probably meet in a stadium or in a town. Will they jam up the traffic in a town ? Even those few thousands motorcycles will give KL roads and road users a big problem!
Which town or city folks will welcome these motorcyclists gathering at about the same time?
If they were to travel along the NS Expressway, will escorts by police, JPJ be necessary? Will they interfere with other smooth motor vehicles traffic? Will these Mat Rempits turn violence if say, an accident were to occur ? Can the organisers be made responsible and accountable to other road users for any mishaps?
Is there a need to close sections of roads or NS Expressway or other highways to cater to the needs of these Mat Rempits?
The Home Affairs with the police should see whether a gathering of such magnitude requires special permit. Of more important, with the estimated 10,000 or more [as claimed] motorcyclists who will participate in such a grand ' UMNO Youth gathering' it will be necessary for the Director of Public Order at Bukit Aman, to consider whether there could be suitable venues or stadiums that could accomodate this crowd, even without 'visitors'. Will security of the country [or city, or town, or a particular village or kampung, be compromised when welcoming the influx of these 10,000 motorcycles at any one time?
Any commotion will likely to create, panic, and followed by chaos!
Thus, at the selected venue, it will be better for the authorities to arrange to 'battle tanks' [BATTLE TANKS!] to be employed. Our police do not seem to be able to handle several thousands of uncivilised motorcyclists, who may charge their motorcycles at the law enforcers in any emotional outburst. Thus the assistance of the military would be needed. We must be prepared for 'Tiananment' treatment of these mass Mat Rempit. Bullets and machine guns would not be able to scare these Mat Rempit, together, in a commotion! There will not be enough time to change 'magazines' of machine guns when the motorcyclists charge the motorcycles at the police patrol cars and even fire at them at will!
A better alternative is to place the SARUMAN or SAURON under arrest, without fear of favour.
Perhaps some young men who may have billions to spend is willing to fund this type of 'childhood dreamt' activities.
Some people forget that brothers, sisters, uncles and aunties within the 'family' are also watching! From what they did outside KLCC and thence Penang.
Why do the Pemuda UMNO want the Mat Rempit to show off the potential power or damages that they could inflict on peaceful citizens?
Also at the same time, do send some of these ‘pemuda’ and uncivilised and unmanner motor-cyclists for blood tests and urine tests.
The RIMV (Registrar And Inspector Of Motor Vehicles) or JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan) should take the opportunity to see whether there are alterations in specifications of their motorcycles or whether these potential heroes do have the engines etc modified. Are their licenses valid? Have they paid the road taxes?
The health authority should also use the opportunity to check for any drug abuse.
Let us hope the authorities could use the opportunities to enlarge their purses.
Will the organisers indemnify any of the participants on injuries, damages or assume responsibilities of what they do [to themselves, and TO OTHERS], to humans and properties, to and for the venues of gathering or meetings?
If it is possible, why not arrange to direct these ‘mat rempit’ to major towns like, Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Johor Baharu so that they can help catch handbags ‘snatchers’, on a regular basis? [Though, this could complicate the works of the police and local volunteers.]
The new IGP and Ministry of Home Affairs should advise the chief administrator of the possible consequences of idolising , or legalising the Mat Rempit, and whether the PM's advice is necessary to avert a disaster or major confrontation with the law or to confront 'peace'. Last but not least, what i know about this uncivilised,unmanner, kurang ajar mak bapak punya mat rempit (maybe their parents and their grand parents or great grandparents also kurang ajar and uncivilised too)is, they should SHOOT TO DEATH on the spot. No need to rehabilitated, save money, no more trouble and the most important things is solve one problem....

Emergency Number

2006-09-14T17:24:00.000+08:00

It is daunting indeed to have to remember so many emergency numbers, especially when you only need them during an emergency where your mind probably won't think straight.
While we wait for the authority to streamline the numbers, mobile phone users may want to remember the number 112. In fact, 112 is the Emergency Number worldwide for mobile phones. This means in whichever corner of the globe you may happen to be in, you need only remember 112.
I have been told that this number works even when you are out of the coverage area of your mobile network. Dialing 112 will cause the mobile to search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you.
The number 112 can also be dialed even if the keypad is locked, which is a great help when you may even forget how to unlock your keypack in the panic of an emergency.
However, I have not checked the veracity of the last two bits of information. Perhaps someone can kindly check and report back. If found to be true, 112 will indeed be the only number you need to know in any emergency anywhere.

Rumour Mongerers

2006-09-13T16:19:00.000+08:00

After numerous spammers on my e-mail list started sending me rumours that bottled water can now be non-halal, because they add holy water to it, I began to sense that the Internet has now evolved to become a medium for consumers to spread paranoia and sabotage businesses.
First off, it was our hot dogs, which may have used pig intestines as their lining. This was proven untrue by the suppliers, who then tried to find someone to bring to court for defamation.
Next up, our bread companies. It so happens that there is a pig farm named Gardenia in either New Zealand or Australia, and that this pig farm is apparenly the same company that produces bread. This has been rebuffed by Gardenia (M) of course, stating that it is just two different companies with the same name!
Scrolling through my e-mails, I have friends telling me that Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC) is non-halal because they may not have slaughtered chickens properly, and this was witnessed by a religious leader. This was, of course, rebuffed by KFC Holdings on their websites.
When I asked these people, why sent me such e-mails, if they actually researched these claims, its alright but all I got was that they were spreading the word, and we did not have to support it if it were true. Thing was, when I asked if they bought into these spam mails, they said they did, but they had their own reasons and were not willing to explain it to me.
I am not sure if that is either blatant ignorance, or the fact that people don't do research into rumours, or simply because, well, the information is classified to the point that my friends can all get it, and I'm left out. Or probably afraid it might show up in the papers.
These are simply rumours spread by some business junkie who is just trying to spoil these companies' business interests in Malaysia. Malaysians should not be so gullible to buy into such rumour mongerers, and as an intelligent country which boasts ourselves as an information hub, we should be able to research such allegations before spreading them! Be smart, Malaysia, research before you believe what you read...

Broadband Or Just A Dial Up?

2006-09-12T07:59:00.000+08:00

In new millennium, information technology is advancing at its fastest pace. In Malaysia, our government eagerly develops the computer technology industry with the plan to increase the number of multimedia super corridor, and also urges broadband internet providers to increase their service quality by providing superb broadband connection like the one in USA.
However, it is such a disappointment to subscribe to TM Net(Streamyx), the nation’s main broadband service provider. Recently, my house suffered thrice internet fatal experiences within a week. We experienced slow internet connection even after the service was resumed.
No notice was given before the service’s cut off; no explanation was provided either after the incidents. We, as consumers, felt totally disrespected on this matter.
As a subscriber, internet speed, the availability of the service at all time and the price are all of our concerns. We always appreciate the relatively low internet service charge. However, the inconsistency of the internet service is not something we expect to bear with.
It is not wrong for the company to penetrate as much market as possible. However, it should also be their primary concern to always upgrade and improve its service to best serve consumers who pay for it. The principle of a successful business is simply to explore new market while having a firm grip on existing customers.
When the main service provider is not able to provide satisfactory service, the government should intervene to soothe the problem as it definitely causes a lot of inconvenience and business obstacles for many online businesses.
Penetration or service quality? They are equally important...

Remenbering September 11

2006-09-11T08:29:00.000+08:00

The September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11—pronounced "nine eleven")(and today is the fifth years of that tragedy if i were not mistaken) consisted of a series of coordinated suicide terrorist attacks upon the United States, predominantly targeting civilians, carried out on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
That morning, 19 men affiliated with Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. Each team of hijackers included a trained pilot. Two planes (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower (One and Two). Both towers collapsed within two hours. The pilot of the third team crashed a plane into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia. Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft (United 93)attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Excluding the 19 hijackers, a confirmed 2,973 people died and another 24 remain missing as a result of these attacks.
The attacks began with the hijacking of four commercial airliners departing from East Coast airports, fueled for flights to California. With jet fuel capacities of nearly 24,000 U.S. gallons (91,000 liters) or 144,000 pounds (65,455 kilograms),each aircraft effectively became an incendiary guided missile.

American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767-223, wide-body aircraft crashed into the north side of the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) at 8:46:30 a.m. local time (which was Eastern Daylight Time, or 12:46:30 UTC).
United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767-222, crashed into the South Tower at 9:02:59 a.m. local time (13:02:59 UTC), an event covered live by television broadcasters from around the world who had their cameras trained on the buildings after the earlier crash.
American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757-223, crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37:46 a.m. local time (13:37:46 UTC).
United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757-222, crashed in a field in southwest Pennsylvania just outside of Shanksville, about 150 miles (240 km) northwest of Washington, D.C., at 10:03:11 a.m. local time (14:03:11 UTC), with parts and debris found up to eight miles away. The crash in Pennsylvania is believed to have resulted from the hijackers either deliberately crashing the aircraft or losing control of it as they fought with the passengers.
No one onboard any of the hijacked aircraft survived.

Today would be the fifth years of the tragedy. The whole America still mourn for this tragedy. This tragedy also cause a big effects around the world. I still remenber that, lots of peoples does not believe to what was happen at that day. The acts of coward which is done by the member of Islam terrorist-Al Qaeda which is lead by a pigfucker Osama Bin Laden seems to leaves a huge scars on the peoples of United States Of America. All moslem in the world seems rejoices with this events.
Well it is clearly indicates that jihad is another way to kill innocent peoples cowardly or perhaps it is a licenses to killed which is granted by their prophet to his follower.
I don't have to talk about this and lets all of us pray for those souls who have become a victim of "high school bully" and lets them rest in peace and May God Bless Them...

Its Gorgeous!

2006-09-08T19:52:00.000+08:00

"Gorgeous!" that was how he'd describe a venomous snake. Now, he's gone, and this time for real. I spent yesterday's evening googling his name and reading tributes for him (and i know it is too late to make a post entry about him). He's indeed truly inspiring. I'm genuinely sad cuz 'The Crocodile Hunter' used to be my family's favourite channel. The show literally brought us together where most of the times having dinner while watching Steve was common. I'm sad when Sue (pronounced as Su-wee) his dog; died, I'm sad because Steve was so attached to it; he slept with Sue till it was gone.
The way he died was ironic. My cousin used to say nature knows him, thus will never attack him and in this case, the stingray probably is a foreigner.
Australian should mourn his loss whole-heartedly cuz he was an exceptional icon. To Steve, one of my dream is shattered cuz I thought one of these days I can finally have the chance to visit Australia Zoo and meet you in person. I truly hope that his popular show will be available in DVD cuz I know it'd be a worth-buy for my kids. We will miss you dearly and so it shall be....

Pasar Malam/Night Market

2006-09-07T17:07:00.000+08:00

The amounts of rubbish left over at the Pasar Malam (night market) site at
Taman Tun Dr Ismail(or at any pasar malam places) is troubling. In recent weeks, I had the opportunity to pass by the sites at around closing time 10pm. I was shocked to see the streets turned into a rubbish paradise. A sea of plastic wrappers, styrofoam containers , cupboard boxes and garbage of all manner spread all over the streets and near five-foot ways.
Please, to the issuers of night market trading permits/licence, please ensure
it is the trader's responsibility to dispose of all their rubbish in a civil manner,
be it in a large black bin or big black plastic bag. Every stall should have one
rubbish bin and many large bins provided for the shopping public in the nearby surrounds. Have banners/signboards to indicate that all rubbish must go into the provided bins.
The night markets are providing a service to the residents. The residents should take pride in keeping the place tidy while shopping. We must introduce a system to keep all night market sites clean and rubbish free.
While the cleaning team do come to clean after us, but we all could have made their task easier by applying a tidy habit of putting the rubbish in the bins/bags and not at inconcievable places like pot planters, drains, top of power and telecom switchboard cabinets, everywhere and anywhere.
Why must be leave the rubbish at the spot where we stand?? When we finish a drink or quick meal, why must be leave the plastic cup/container at the spot. Is walking to the nearest bin to troublesome for the effort?
All rubbish finding their way into the drains will end in the sea. We can do our bit for the environment.. Shopping at the 'pasar malam' is our culture but everyone must take charge of their rubbish disposal. The traders must do their bit. The Bandaraya must do theirs to encourage traders to trade in a clean enviroment.
Let TTDI night market take the lead in making the 'pasar malam' a clean & tidy shopping experience...

Learning English

2006-09-06T18:43:00.000+08:00

Last Friday, I was strolling together with a purely English educated junior and another friend at pasar malam(night market). Our conversation was normal until the moment the junior asked me how it could be possible for me to switch from Iban and English conversation at ease. He complimented me for not carrying Malay accent/style in my English. I felt flattered and started to reminisce.
Growing up as a malay educated student, English was always my major problem in academic. During my time of education, English wasn’t really emphasized that much as it does today. I was normally speaking Iban with my parents and friends. The environment was just not conducive for me to improve my English. And so I didn’t really work hard in mastering the language.
However, things changed drastically when I was admitted into university. I was surrounded by a lot of English educated friends, furthermore our university policy is using english as main medium in teaching and learning. And since then, I started to realise the importance of English. But I became very determined in improving and mastering the language only after the orientation with my final year seniors.
The experience was awful. I was requested to make a self introduction in English. Then I was thrown with questions in English. And of course, seniors expected my answers to be in English too. My poor command of English language had been put on test. I choked in the middle of every sentence I made. I felt embarrassed. But it was this embarrassment that kept me going in the learning of the language.
I was lucky. I met a lot of friends who were generous in lending a helping hand. They corrected me when I made mistakes. They made me checked on dictionary when SMS-ing to each other. They helped to explain sentences that I didn’t understand when reading through newspaper. They offered helps whenever they can. And I put in my own effort to learn too.
It was hard in the initial stage. But things seemed to be turning better as time passed. My English has becoming better slowly. I started to manage well in English conversation with my lecturers. I began to make my presentations in English during lectures without having many problems. And now, I start my ‘blogging’ life in English too.
But I know my English is still not up to the standard. I still make grammar errors; my sentence’s structure is still chaotic; my pronunciation is still not yet perfect. And the most important thing is I understand my English learning journey will be a life-long process. Therefore, until today, I still keep my dictionary besides me whenever I read the newspaper. I also started to communicate with friends in English as to make myself become more familiar with the language.
From my personal experience, I know everyone can master the English language, regardless of what level of English you are in now. You probably do not need embarrassment to improve in English, like what I had gone through. All you have to do is just to have the heart to keep on learning and improving...

Financial Management

2006-09-05T16:16:00.000+08:00

I have come to a conclusion that today's Malaysians do not know how to manage their finance well. A good lot of us have gotten into the habit of spending frivolously. Many spend more money than they can earn. When they run out of cash, they get into the habit of borrowing money from any sources available to continue feeding their lavish lifestyles. As such, these folks end up being indebted to credit card companies, banks & even loan sharks.
Today's society has become too brand & fashion-conscious. The true underlying cause of this is actually the 'kiasu' & egoistic attitude most of us have adopted. Many of us want to measure up to our peers even when it comes the material possessions. If we cannot keep up with our friends in purchasing the latest & most fashionable goods, we stand to 'lose face'.We are willing to splurge on things that we actually cannot afford just to be accepted into the fold.
The lack of self-control is another reason that people over-spend. Whenever there is a sale going on, certain folks end up going on a shopping spree. Everything looks cheap to them & they start spending without knowing when to stop. They are easily bought over by the 'best buy' & 'big bargain' items. They end up purchasing things that they don't really need. Money is poured down the drain because of their compulsive spending habit.
There are very few people who are are good financial managers when it comes to their personal budgets. Most do not bother keeping an account on how much they have spent. They are unaware when their expenses exceed their income. Many end up wondering why they always seem to have little or no savings at the end of every month.
We must take the trouble to work out a financial plan for ourselves & our household. We should take note of every cent that enters or leaves our pocket. After all, if our country needs to have a budget plan, don't we?

A Malefactor Cabbies and Touts In Malaysia

2006-09-04T04:20:00.000+08:00

Much monies is spent to make Visit Malaysia 2007 a success , however all that could go down the drain when a visiting tourist are cheated by illegal touts and irresponsible cabbies in airport. As reported by The Star undercover some illegal touts charged as much as RM500 for a trip from KLIA(Kuala Lumpur International Airport) to Kuala Lumpur City.
Personally as a frequent traveller i have been threated and trailed by this gangster looking touts and some even dress in office wears.
My ideas is for our local tourists to snap the picture of this illegal touts with their digital camera or cellphone when they are being approach and immediately lodge a police report in the airport with this photo evidence. Another is at least the police can have a hotline number for tourist to lodge report on touts operating in our international airports.
Our policemen in airport must take action on this illegal touts when they have evidence and proof on hand of such modus operandi. This menace must be clamp down to make Malaysia a great destination that is wonderful, safe and friendly. I hope our Minister of Tourism is well aware that we need to clean up our house in order to attract good tourist to spend their tourist dollars here. Besides, everyone knows that the Cabbies rule in KL.
Not a day passes without some horror story. You have rapists and robbers disguised as taxi drivers, yet are so free to roam the streets, picking up their victims. Would you feel comfortable if your daughter, girlfriend or wife were to use taxis in KL?
Quite unlike Thailand, Singapore and even the Silverbird and Bluebird in Jakarta, where it's a pleasure to take a cab.
Enforcement is absent with no positive steps to stop these rapists and thieves. Our know reputation with these rogue cabbies, will not help with our tourism efforts, not to mention our quest for more people to use public transportation.
Arrive late evenings at KL Central or Puduraya and these crooks are all there, waiting to fleece you!.
Pak Lah, we don't need a royal commission or a committee to study anything, just direct the JPJ or who ever is responsible, to take action today. And Malaysia cabbies is the worst in the world perhaps all cabbies is a criminial. Beware with this shitty....

It is Abdullah's third budget since he became Prime Minister and Finance Minister.
The Economic Report 2006/2007 was also released simultaneously.
The Government proposed that the corporate tax rate be reduced by two percentage points in two stages - the tax will be reduced to 27% in 2007 and 26% in 2008. This is aimed at promoting greater private sector investment.
He also announced a wide array of tax and financial incentives for the private sector to help it to continue as the catalyst that will spearhead the nation's economic growth.
Tax incentives are offered to the biotechnology sector. Bionexus companies, for instance, will be given tax exemption for 10 years.
Abdullah noted that computer ownership is low among Malaysia. Hence, the eligibility period for the incentive to buy a computer, currently given once in every five years, is shortened to once in every three years, and the RM500 tax rebate is replaced with a tax relief of RM3,000.

Among the highlights of the budget are:

# RM112.9 billion is allocated for operating expenditure, an increase of 11.6%.

# The budget deficit will be reduced to 3.4% of GDP in 2007.
# A Customs tribunal will be established for appeals on decisions made by the Customs Director-General.
# Tax rebate of RM500 for computer purchases will be replaced with tax relief of RM3,000, once every three years.
# Students with 10A1s in SPM from families earning RM1,500 and below to be given scholarships for tertiary education.
# Tax relief on purchase of books increased from RM700 to RM1,000.
# Lower taxes for dividends received from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Dividends received by local and foreign individual investors and local unit trusts from listed REITs will be taxed at 15%, and for foreign institutional investors, 20%.
# To promote tourism, especially for Visit Malaysia Year 2007, income tax exemption for eligible tour operators is extended for five years.
# To foster a culture of maintenance, expenses incurred by property developers within the defects liability period will be allowed as deduction from the same project.
# Sime Darby will lead several new projects in agriculture, high tech industries and tourism in the Northern Corridor
# Perlis will be declared a promoted area in which designated projects will be eligible for a higher level of tax exemption.
# RM3.6 billion allocated to the agriculture sector.
# Exam fees for all public examinations abolished in all Government schools(UPSR,PMR,SPM,STPM) beginning with 2007 school session.
# Excise duty on cigarettes up by one sen per stick. Duty on liquor with alcohol content of more than 40% up by RM5 per litre.

Happy 49th National Day

2006-08-31T21:05:00.000+08:00

I write this specially dedicated to close-minded people who love to criticize people like me saying we are not patriotic at all or where is our Merdeka Spirit? And their so called judgment is based on how we draw, what music we listen to and what language we use.
There are others like clothes but I only typing these 3 points as I'm mainly accused of these points.One, I was considered not so patriotic just because I love to mainly draw in the style of manga (Japanese comic style) mix with American comics. I grew up reading manga and American comics so its only natural I love drawing in these kind of style. I was told I should draw in a Malaysian way. When I ask them what is Malaysian style, they dodged my answers, and some say refer to Gila-Gila comics( the most nonsense comic in the world!). But what I seen so far...the style is hideous...What they don't know or continue to be ignorant about is that Malaysian artists like seen in the National Art Gallery are influenced by famous artists that are foreign people like Vincent Van Gogh. And these people who continue to accuse me are people who can't draw to save their lives.
Two, I like listening to American, British and Japanese music, simply because they sound (far)better than what the local industry have to offer. With the exception of P. Ramlee, and other...too few to name. Let's face it, the local industry is hardly appealing on the international level and sometimes even on the local level.
Three, I mostly use English/Iban in my everyday life because I'm more familiar with it. I only use Bahasa Malaysia when someone wishes to speak to me in B.M. or in B.M. classes. Sometimes formality demands it. It's that simple!(but yet this does not include those languages that i understand a little bit like mandarin and french and yet it also not includes some minority mother tongue that i knows a little like bidayuh and orang ulu)
Oh, for heaven's sake! Do you people even know what Merdeka is? Merdeka is about how we achieve independency, the heroes who contributed, that all of our races became united and making sure the peace lasts for a long time, if possible FOREVER! And being patriotic is about being devoted to our country, loving our country and trying to make our country better.
And yet...'we' are continued to be bombarded with accusations and criticism based on cultural differences to languages differences. We have the right to choose what style to draw, what music we listen to and what language we use! Who are you people to try to force us to choose what you yourselves like?
These people are a bunch of manipulative, selfish and ignorant to the point that it makes me want to throw up as they keep using the name of Merdeka for their own unreasonable purposes!
To all the close-minded people out there, get out of your small shells and experience reality! You people are giving Merdeka and Patriotism bad names!!!
emm..by the way, Sarawak Independent Day is actually on September 19 not August 31. August 31 is just for Malaya only and for Sarawak, it is 48 years of independent(being colonise) through(by) Malaysia not 49 years. Don't be so stupid and celebrate Merdeka blindly...

Just A Simple Thought

2006-08-30T18:15:00.000+08:00

Writing a blog and leaving anyone to comment may seem like a simple thing to accept to bloggers. However, this is not the case when you start writing up controversial issues. Be it religion, race, sexuality or even politics, every blogger has to know that whatever you dish out, there will always be an opposing view(and this is what i am looking for).
As such, bloggers of these controversial topics must be open minded and accept other people's point of view. Because as bloggers, the main thing we enjoy is the freedom of expressing our point of view without censorship. We went into cyberspace to avoid moderation, to avoid being censored, even if our language was sometimes rude and we called people names or using some rude word(as our daily lifes, we never miss even a single rude word comes out from our mouth in a day so it is normal if you read some of the entries carry a rude word).
Bloggers should always be able to present facts and logical lines of thought, but at the same time be able to accept facts and other line of thoughts from his readers. This allows the right information, with formal sources, to be produced. Subsequently, this helps us, as a society, from spreading miseducation, hatred and miscommunication, which, if not stopped, leads to violence, racism and even religious hatred.
And about that warning from our leaders about slanderous remarks towards members of the government, the government has no right to warn bloggers of slanderous remarks, since they use them in the august halls of Parliament! If you want to detain us, you detain them first!

Public Toilets

2006-08-29T11:56:00.000+08:00

If our DPM says that the condition of our toilets is a measure our socio-economic and education levels, then I would allow me to describe what the Malaysian society by a look at our public toilets.
We are very open to communication with strangers. I mean, what other reason would a person called "Razak" and another called "Malik" have, to leave their phone numbers on the cubicle walls of a toilet.
Stealing and damaging the locks on the cubicle doors shows that we are no longer a shy people. We can 'do our business' for everyone to see. Next thing you know, we won't even need cubicle doors.
Sadly, we, as a culture of public restroom users, are an abrasive lot. But instead of speaking out to people, we release our feelings and faeces in the same place. This explains all those explicit comments about other people written all around the cubicle. However, this also shows that we, as a people, are very rude in the use of language as well. Plus, some of us can't spell properly.
So if public toilets are a measure of our people's good health and manners, upbringing, housekeeping and high level of civilisation, as stated by our DPM, I am of the opinion that we're a long way off from any positive reviews.
No wonder some people say we have first world facilities but some of us have third world attitudes.

Scam & Fraud Job Advertisements

2006-08-28T17:56:00.000+08:00

This is a true experience from myself and a lots of those who involve. Currently, there is so many job agency that advertising recruitment through newspaper. I'm cheated for a job that cost me to pay for the agency RM145. It's not a lot, but for me I can survive for at least one month with RM145. And now, I'm jobless and don't have any idea what will I have to eat for the next day. I eat a ' kuih ' for morning breakfast and didn't eat anything for lunch and a economic rice for dinner.
I don't understand why SSM give permits for those persons to open a scamming job agency to cheats people everyday. (For exanple)It's like cheating people's money is part of the famous job in Malaysia nowadays. Pratically, we Malaysian is quite a good person and didn't ever bother if people cheated our money, even myself also didn't bother so much but what most making me angry is cheating my feelings and give me a fake happiness.
Please stop this as soon as possible and what I'm hoping is to banish every job agency currently available now and build only a job agency company that only belongs to goverment and not private.
This matter will go public someday and it will be a shame to Malaysia country. Please, Stop It All At Once...!

The Cautious Seldom Err.

2006-08-25T21:47:00.000+08:00

The Chinese culture has been deeply influenced by Confucius, a great Chinese teacher and educator. His influence extends throughout the world even today. He believed that moral principles, virtues and discipline should be the very first lessons to be taught to a child, and that children need to practice them daily.
Unlike modern day parents who disapprove of physical punishment, ancient Chinese parents actually encouraged and thanked the teacher when their children where punished for misbehaving. It was most important to the ancient Chinese parents that their children learned moral principles and virtues first before any other subjects, because without these as a foundation, the learning of all other subjects would be futile.
In ancient China, the purpose of going to school and studying was to become saints and sages, not to make financial gains. People of that time felt it was important that the child should be well disciplined and taught moral principles and virtues when still very young. They felt that without strict discipline and moral standards, a child would amount to nothing. Without knowing what it meant to be dutiful to one’s parents and respectful to one’s teachers, a child would grow up not listening to or respecting anyone.
Ironically today, many parents listen to the child instead of the other way around. Additionally, teachers are afraid to teach and discipline children because they are fearful of violating the children’s legal rights and being sued by the parents.
Currently, we live in a tumultuous world where the relationships between people, people and their environment, parents and children, husbands and wives, and employers and employees are disintegrating. Parents do not act like parents. Children do not act like children. Our minds are polluted and our family system is disintegrating as evidenced by an ever-increasing divorce rate. Soon the planet Earth will no longer be fit for us to live on. We are fearful for our futures and futures of our children...

Wind Of Change

2006-08-24T07:27:00.000+08:00

I totally agree with Dr. Mahathir concerning the education system. Acquisition of knowledge without APPLICATION is like knowing the theory of driving not applying that knowledge by driving a car on the road!. The British system of education is good as far as research is concerned. But it should not stop there : it should move forward by applying the knowledge gained. Theory by itself is useless if there is no utilitarian value to it.
Application is best exemplified by German education system. Germany has produced reliable, quality cars like Mercedes Benz and BMW. And there is always a great demand for German cars though they are rather pricey. PROTON should emulate German technology and learn from the masters of cars. You cannot go wrong there: its track record is proof that its technology is very advanced. In spite of the advanced technology, Germans do not stop thinking of improving further. They want to do better and better. With this sort of mind-set, Germany keeps on improving in its field of experise and excellence.
Japan, too, has advanced technology. In the earlier days, the Japanese were known to be "copycats "; and they were prepared to learn from American car -makers by stripping American cars. With the knowledge gained, they try to apply that knowledge; and also try to modify that knowledge and apply it in making better and better cars. Now, Japanese cars are found everywhere; and they have captured the world market.
To go forward, the English language is the language of knowledge power. Linguists should accept the fact that English is the Universal language of communication, advanced technology and internet. This is reality. Either we face this fact and learn the language and be proficient or we will be left behind.We must not have the mind-set that it is a colonial language; we must see it as tool to acquire and apply knowledge. Most books are in this language; and practically every minute thousands upon thousands of titles are rolling out throughout the world. Translation of such books into another language is time-consuming. What is more, the translation may not be accurate.It is much easier and faster to get it straight from the horse's mouth !
Malaysia has moved into the right direction by adopting English as the medium of teaching in Science and Mathematics. Much credit must go to the former Prime Minister Tun Dr, Mahathir for having the foresight and courage to implement it in spite of opposition from certain quarters. In time to come, Malaysian students will reap the fruits of their labour, gaining knowledge and applying it. And some good news for students whose will graduating from public universities next year will have an additional certificate besides their degree scrolls. But first they need to undergo courses in several areas including communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving skills before graduation to ensure they become competent workers. And then for those employers from the private sector will could not use an excuse that the candidates for their job are inexperiences anymore. Cut the bullshit out now...

Shame On You

2006-08-23T05:21:00.000+08:00

Could Malaysia, which is aggressively vocal against Israel be part of UN’s peacekeeping force in Lebanon?

Probably we should not for the following reasons:
Any peace keeping member, should, as the name implies, place ‘peace uppermost’, notwithstanding religious or cultural differences. Malaysia, which have been vocally against Israel, though without declaring war against Israel, and having no diplomatic relation with that country, is always in the war-forefront when the word Israel is stated.
As ‘enmity’ is already preconceived, Malaysia should be deemed an ‘interested’ party, where ‘fairness’ may not be practised, or ill-conceived.
To be part of a ‘peace’ keeping force, the partners must not only be seen to be fair, but must be conceived to be able to act fairly. Can other countries feel we will be fair to all parties in Lebanon? Malaysia is one of the few countries who enjoy burning Israeli flags! The Minister Of Education is telling his children and students to do that.
If some people think that we will not be fair to some parties, will our soldiers be therefore at extra risks?
Accordingly, even if Malaysia is chairman of OIC, we should honourably excuse ourselves from the peacekeeping team, as least Malaysia can remain honourable to its stands of against Israel, at whatever costs. At least in the international arena, we can be respected for that 'stand' of integrity.
Perhaps UMNO Youth, could send a team, to be led by its leaders( Or perhaps, Malaysia Prime Minister Son in Law Khairy Jamaludin could be their leader-On the left side picture features a jackass (khairy Jamaludin)in action), who may be given honourable posts like military attache, based in Lebanon.
WALK THE TALK. Please do not send other people’s husbands, brothers, fathers etc. Go yourselves. Be heroes.
Just remember to bring some flags to burn also(for more pictures of bunch of idiot, you could view it here and here). Show them your are that kind of ‘international’ police. Do make sure that the flags are made in Malaysia so that local manufacturers benefit At least by your sacrifice, the national gross domestic product will go up.
To those who supported the burning of the Israeli flags as a form of protest against Israel, I hope they would ask themselves if they are hypocrites. Why just stop at burning flags, you might as well boycott buying US and British products. At the same time, make sure you don't send your children to these countries to study. Why? Because your money will be used by these countries to build and supply more arms to Israel. So, if you intend to support the burning of Israeli flags, go all the way, less you be accused of being a hypocrite.
By the way, it is so ironic for those demostrator and protestor whose is join the demonstration few weeks ago are going to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), McDonald, Chicken Hurtz, Seven -Eleven and Starbuck to have their meals after the demostration. Besides, they are using Microsoft Windows and Office to create their banner, using Intel or AMD to operate their computer and still listen to Eminen, Shakira or perhaps lot of others artist from USA. Loves to remind, United State Of America is Malaysia number 1 trading partner. Where is your dignity protestor and demostrator.....

Is Lifes Fair?

2006-08-22T07:38:00.000+08:00

Is Life Fair?
Here are some true statements:
All men are not created equal. And because of that....
We can't all play soccer like Ronaldinho. We can't all be as smart as Einstein. We can't all be a member of the lucky sperm club and have rich parents.
It also sucks that you ladies have to put up with menstruation and menopause.
Men can pee anywhere they want.
Isn't it amazing that you have to have a license to get married, but you don't have to have a license to have children? And who suffers when people have children they cannot afford? Ultimately it's the child, who is born with two strikes against him right off the bat.
So ladies, are you happy? I agree with you. It takes two to tango. Males should take an equal responsibility. If your partner refuses, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna take an aspirin, the most effective birth control pill known to man?

When A Retard Make A Claim

2006-08-21T13:32:00.000+08:00

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak the deputy prime minister of Malaysia said that some of the younger generation today have “swallowed” so much Western liberal ideology that they have begun questioning the country's policies and laws which they claim stifle freedom.
It is disappointing to hear views from someone of his stature which not only degrade but also ridicule the younger generation. His claim that the younger generation lacks an understanding and appreciation of the country’s history is very generalised.
We the younger generation did study history in our national schools, we the younger generation have been witnessing the leadership of a great nationalist for at least the past 20 years, we the younger generation have been an integral part of this nation ever since.
We know how fragile our nation is and we know the politics in this nation and we also know how far the mentality of our people can go. We are not products of the west! We are products of this sovereign land that we call Malaysia!. We are the generation shaped by Tun Mahathir bin Mohamad.
It is a shame that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has credited the western liberal ideology for the state of mind of the younger generation of educated young Malaysians; for he cannot see that we are actually the product of a great outspoken nationalist.
I feel that Datuk Seri’s remark was not towards young Malaysians in general but instead was a direct hit towards the educated young Malaysians in professional fields as he indicated that they are “the ones questioning the country's policies and laws which they claim stifle freedom”.
Only those who have studied the country’s policies, laws, and socioeconomics would dare raise such questions as the general crowd in Malaysia is very much afraid of the cabinet. We know the laws in this country and we are questioning the rationale of it in accordance with the stability that we have achieved.
Datuk Seri Najib somewhat has the wrong idea of these young minds as these young minds do not succumb to the western ideology of liberalism; instead, we are unique Malaysians who know what we are talking about. We are no longer kampong boys, to just sit in the coffee shop while people manipulate the laws to suppress freedom.
His claim that it is these laws and regulations which have ensured that the country remained prosperous and stable all this while, is very much true. But those laws were for an era of Malaysians who were tolerating each other; tolerance has a limit and nobody can tolerate forever.
That is why those laws are being questioned. We the younger generation of educated Malaysians are no longer using tolerance as a tool. Instead we are now understanding the differences between us, respecting each other, and accepting the differences and compromise towards building a better nation.
However that does not mean we are intolerant young Malaysians, we are much more tolerant then any westerners, we advocate what is right and just. We are peace loving Malaysians, and Tun was right when he said Malaysians are nonviolent people! We are Malaysians who protect the weak.
We are Malaysians who can rationally discuss our problems instead of pretending that we do not have a problem. This is what 49 years of independence has engineered and to say that what we have been touting as freedom could cause chaos and misunderstanding is outdated.
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak you are our leader and we more then respect you, we love you. But to lash out at us in such a way, is very hurtful for all that we are striving for is a better Malaysia. We are not westernized outcasts, we are the unique product of a great leadership and perhaps as an experienced leader you could help us achieve our bona fide aim.
Come this 31st, we shall stand proud as Malaysians, not Malays, Chinese, Indians or any others races, but as Malaysians. We shall prove to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak that the blood in our vein echoes with the unique Malaysian philosophies and not liberal western ideology, and even if we did swallow something alien, we all know where it will come out later.
We thank Datuk Seri for his criticism, and we shall reengineer our approach so that we do not seem to be post-Independence kids who do not realize that racial harmony today did not happen on its own. I assure you Datuk that we more then realize how it happened and how difficult it was, it is just that we have different ways of appreciating our country. Just like what Balian father, Godfrey said to his son Balian in Kingdom Of Heaven, "I love her in my fashion".

Family First

2006-08-18T18:01:00.000+08:00

Ever wondered why you see rural children and their parents and entire families beaming away in photos or videos? They are happy with what they have. The key to that type of happiness is the absence of comparison.
People in the city are totally of the opposite. We look at others in envy of what they have; good looks, big cars, big houses and many more. Why do we stress ourselves so much? It is not wrong to set goals to achieve and it is definitely good to want to improve on one-self. However, it is detrimental to compare with another person and get envious. You’ll start setting unreasonable goals and push yourself to the limit just to get where you want.
Don’t just join the crazy rat race for the sake of success. Why not take some time to reflect on what you have? Success has no meaning if you don’t enjoy it. You may all the cars and houses that money can buy, but is your health good? Is your relationship with your family strong? Students like to rush to compare exam marks after getting their results. Some teenagers like to compare their looks with actors and actresses. Some couples compare marriages. Some people even like to compare who has the more expensive cell phone! As the list goes on, it just gets more ridiculous.
Comparison is the root of stress. Not a single person is destined to have everything. In the simple towns and villages, their wealth is pretty much well distributed and therefore they are not compelled to compare with each other. Take that scenario, assimilate and adapt it into our urban lives. It’s alright to be jealous, but never envy. Maybe i'm talked to much here and it is pointless for me to explain what is all about. Here, i recommends you very good movie for some sort of my point of view-"CLICK". I'm not saying that, success is bad but what i gonna to mention is take a break for a while, have your deep breath and see what do you have around you.
Last but not least, enjoy the CLICk movie....

Like Wise Old Owl....

2006-08-17T18:05:00.000+08:00

Ever been engaged in a conversation where everyone seems to be talking but nobody seems to be listening? As ridiculous as it sounds, most of us are good talkers but bad listeners.
There is a tendency for everyone to want their opinions & views to be heard. As a result, paying attention to what the other party has to say becomes secondary. The truth is, a conversation is pointless if we are unwilling to listen as well as we speak.
Poor listening skills may also cause misunderstandings to occur & this will ultimately affect our relationship with the people around us. Speech is silver & silence is golden.
Careless & inappropriate words are often uttered when we talk too much & hear too little. Do you often find yourself making conclusions or planning the next thing you are going to say before the other person has finished speaking?
There is no use in being an eloquent speaker but a poor listener. A conversation is a two-way track/communication. Sure, it requires alot of patience & perseverance to improve on your listening skills, but at the end of the day, your effort will be rewarded. Your personal & work life will benefit from your willingness to listen intently to others before you speak.
We should be more like the wise old owl. The less he spoke, the more he heard & the more he heard, the more he knew!And please don't stuck your finger in your ears.......

Act Of Childish

Flags of any nations must be RESPECTED. Never, ever forget that IF you burn a flag belonging to any another nation it says a few things about you as a person and about the type of nation you come from.
First, you have forgotten Newton's third Law of motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. " Think: Do you want your nation's flag to be burned ? If you don't, then don't burn another nation's flag.
Second, it shows that you have no respect for another nation. Then , what happens if an individual or a group of individuals does the same thing to your nation's flag ! What is your reaction ? Remember the law of RECIPROCITY.
Third, it shows your upbringing. Your parents or your grandparents or your teachers or your leaders have not taught you properly about respecting another nation's flag.
Fourth, by burning another nation's flag, you are wasting your money! You might as well spend the few dollar to buy yourself a good meal!
Fifth, burning a flag is childish. It simply means that you cannot talk rationally and sensibly. It is just like a child who throws a tantrum in a supermarket because he does not get his toy or his favourite ice-cream!
Sixth, it shows up your weakness: you cannot talk sense. You can't argue with the opponent. You use four-letter words or you throw a chair at your opponent as what some MPs are wont to do in some countries . You have lost your gift of speech; you have lost your tongue. So to cover up your weak point, you go for vulgarity or physical somersaults!
Seventh, if you are so angry with another nation or its leader that you could not stand any longer, then SIT down and think what is the best way to put across your anger. Go to the country concerned and tell the leader that he has committed a very serious crime. Or, if you are brave enough , go to war with that nation; carry your gun and go there.
So, for the reasons above and maybe many more, do not burn flags of other nations.....

Terrorist, A Bullies Without Any Guts

2006-08-15T17:43:00.000+08:00

Terrorist bombers are the world’s most worst cowards. They are too scared to fight for their right using intellectual means as they have no ability to argue, only physical ways. They try to frighten others using fear. They are no different than school bullies, just that now they have the knowledge to build their weapons.
Why should innocent people die when they have nothing to do with national policies? More over, are policies worth killing for? If they have the guts to kill, why aren’t they brave enough to take on the national army? Pick on someone your size, not harm unarmed civilians. It’s just ironic how some people have the heart to support these so-called fighters. If they call themselves soldiers for their cause, they are certainly not showing so. Every soldier has to follow a universal rule of engagement: to only shoot at armed enemies. These people do not.
Bullies in school pick on weak students and beat up unarmed people with all sorts of weapons. We even hear of some gangs in schools fight with parangs. Why can’t we follow the footsteps of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Ghandi, and other freedom fighters? They definitely had gotten what they wanted without blowing up something or someone but instead managed to use their God given brains to shake powerful people. These are the true heroes who should be emulated for fighting for their cause.
We can’t blame US for reacting the way it is doing now because these terrorists had murdered thousands of its people, although the execution of the offensives could have been better and safer. We always condemn the US for the wars, but if it were to happen to our people, I don’t think we would stay quiet either. We would have to fight back and defend ourselves.
We need to rise up against these terrorists. Think before supporting any ideology. Does it benefit mankind or for that group of people only? We need not be scared to stand up to them because I’m sure that they are outnumbered by the rest of the five and a half billion people in the world who would dare to stand up to their atrocities. We have to crush these who are the real enemies of the world. Here is some equations JIHAD equals to SUICIDE BOMBER equals to COWARD equals to IDIOT....

Stupidity At Its Best

2006-08-14T18:25:00.000+08:00

The demonstrations or protests which is held all over Malaysia for past few weeks, and the commotion to hand over memorandum to the US Secretary Of State-Condoleeza Rice (if i were not mistaken) had been videoed all over the world. (And i think this is the time for me to voice out something against those stupid demonstrations and protests).
The other parts of the world are probably wondering what kind of people is there in this Islamic country(Malaysia). Are the people there militants, though the government keeps on telling the world that this is a country of moderate Muslims(Big fat liar! there is no such thing moderate islam after all). Did the event outside KLCC-Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (August 01, 2006) portray that kind of reassurance that this is a peace loving country of moderates? (My answer is NO!)
We had banners that wanted the US’s Secretary Of State to ‘go home’ and that she was not welcome in this country. That despite of she being invited here, or asked to come here? Who were the people embarrassed or humiliated by such events of demonstration outside the KLCC? In addition to that the youth leaders were happily and arrogantly being interviewed (The most idiot person)....
The world is wondering that in this country which will also be producing hundreds of university graduates and also claim to have the next to best facilities on education advancement, and in this country which is trying to attract foreign parents to send their children or relatives, that underlying the education foundation of this country, there are layers of poor ethics or poor manners.
It is unlikely that the cultures of other countries or education system in even the more underdeveloped regions indoctrinated in the students or their youths to disrespect invited guests and forcefully want the guests to ‘go home’. That cannot be proud cultural background of a gang of so called educated youths who claimed will be future leaders of this country. The US Secretary Of State came here on invitation or as a guest [of their seniors ?] . Due respects must be given. Argument over affairs is to be treated in a humane way, to be treated in a way that shows that the hosts are dignified people, with some standing reflecting both the family upbringing and their education background.
When Chin Peng had a meeting with Tunku Abdul Rahman to discuss the possible surrender in Baling, he was allowed to return to the jungle when the discussion failed. Tunku could have arrested him, or shot him or even humiliate him. But Tunku did not do it. To do such an act would have reflected oneself badly in the Malay community, in the then Malayan society, and also reflecting the religious background.
Respect is to be given to enemy even in a war. Warring parties are not supposed to arrest or murder the messengers of the opposite parties. There is some sort of international etiquette or manners and regretably the Pemuda UMNO (UMNO Youth which is lead by Khairy Jamaludin-son in law of Malaysia Prime Minister and the leader of Malaysia Mafia[3 Line gang]---correct me if i'm were wrong here) did not appear to exhibit the possession of this elementary quality.
In our schools, the parents could be hauled up if the children misbehave. In politics, can misbehaved children who showed disrespects to invited guests be asked to explain? And these children are supposed to be future leaders of this country?
The government should also consider whether processions leading from religious properties are to be allowed or continued. Such events will tend to link protests or demonstration to religions. Though we try to claim that most Muslims are peace loving (Liar!), especially those in Malaysia, can we blame the international community for suspecting Muslims to be terrorists when protests / demonstrations usually start from mosques, which are used as gathering venues, especially on holy Fridays?
On top of this, we have not gone to war yet with any parties, not with the US, Israel or any others?
Maintain the pose of dignity. That reflects whether one is still human, and Malaysia prefers dignified people to lead the country. No a bunch of uncivilized people. Today the resolution of UN to have cease fire from both side already enforce and i hope there is no longer stupid demostrations done in Malaysia.......

Karma

2006-08-11T17:50:00.000+08:00

While leaving the local post office yesterday I unintentionally noticed keys hanging off the back of the motorcycle parked next to mine, it was obvious the owner had forgotten it. After pondering for a while I took the keys and went into the post office. I thought about making an announcement, but decided against it because I’m too shy to do that. Plus, if there were multiple opportunists claiming the bike belongs to them then I’ll have a hard time to determine the rightful owner. The only logical thing to do was to sit and wait for someone to approach the vehicle then act all nervous as he frantically search for the missing keys. That should be confirmation enough.
After about fifteen minutes of waiting I started to get anxious because I have other errands to attend to, but I kept telling myself the errands could not compare to the poor person losing his bike and quite possibly his only means of transport. When I least expected it a middle aged man walked to the motorcycle and did all the things I mentioned earlier: the casual approach to the bike and then the nervous frantic look for the missing keys after realizing they’re gone. I ran out to greet him and returned the keys; he was very grateful and couldn’t stop thanking me. I felt like a won a million dollars lottery.
What made me go out of my way and did that? Easy, five years ago I carelessly left my motorcycle keys behind as well and a kind hearted person kept them for me. I can still remember how I almost broke into tears after finding out I forgot the keys as I ran back to the bike one hour after parking it. After the incident I never forget my motorcycle keys again. I’m still grateful for the good deed the person did and saw yesterday as a chance to repay it, even though the recipient wasn’t the same person. My only wish is that the man would do the same thing when his chance arises in the future. do you believe in karma.....

Moral Of The Story...

2006-08-10T18:16:00.000+08:00

I was having my lunch near the university cafeteria (back few months ago) when I noticed this young kitten crawling in the compound. It came and started looking around and was graoning in hunger.
I thought that she was hungry and offered her some bread. The next thing I knew that the kitten had run away with the bread- in a real rush.
Being curious I followed it quietly to see if she would eat the bread. To my suprise I saw this kitten breking up the bread and feeding it to this other little kitten. The other kitten looked really hungry and malnurished.
The other kitten (her friend) went begging for food to feed her other friend so that she would not loose her life. I wonder how many of us would sacrifice so much by going up to the extent of begging for thier friend who is in dire needs.
We are all materialistic in today's world- maybe these kittens were sent to show me the actual meaning of friendship as how I am telling it to the rest. Such an honest friend the kitten has- lucky her.....

Zebra Crossings

2006-08-09T18:23:00.000+08:00

Does you know what is zebra crossing means? Of course it is not for a zebra to cross the road sign. It is for the pedestrian crossing. Do you know how it is work? I guess most Malaysian said it "Yes!" but facts is they are known nothing at all how does the zebra crossing work.
I too have experienced and saw many displays of rudeness and ignorance among our fellow country men. One of it is the situation at zebra crossings. I doubt if people still know the meaning of our humble zebra crossing, or they just simply ignore the existance of the zebra crossing.
Everyday, i have never failed to use at least one zebra crossing on my way to any other placs from my house. Since ages ago when i started using this zebra crossing, never had i seen any drivers who cared to stop or at least slow down at the zebra crossing. It does not matter whether it is just 1 person, 2 people or 10 people trying to get across the road, those ignorant people behind wheels, or even motorbikers, had never once stopped or slow down when they see people trying to cross the road. What do they do instead? They just zoom past the zebra crossing pretending it was transparent, or pretending that they themselves are blind to the sign.
Maybe it is time for the authorities to fine these ignorant drivers, or should they just block the crossing with a gate when people are struggling to get across the road, just like what they do at railway tracks?
Zebra crossings is a place the pedestrian could cross the road even there is no traffic light and all drivers no matter car, lorry, motorcycle or anything should stop their vehicles wait for the pedestrian to cross the road first. If you don't know about this, i wonder how do you get your driving license and what do you learn during driving class? Are you learn how to drove fast and forget about the law.....

Queue Up Please!

2006-08-08T17:33:00.000+08:00

I was boarding a bus on the way home and I came across this incident. The bus was at the junction. Since it was our turn, our bus started moving. As our bus was moving, a car came into the scene. The bus stopped at once, of course! The driver seems to be cursing the car driver since it was not his turn to move. Only later do we realize, it was not the driver’s fault, it was the VIPs faults.
Just because they are VIPs, they thought they could ruin the traffic. They thought they are the only one who needs to get on the move. VIPs, we are just the same. Maybe they thought they have higher posts than we do so they can miss-used their power. Come on, do you think it is rational for someone who thought they are so great to cut the queue by honking the cars in front of them away? Ok, let us forget about the honking business. Another question, it is fair for all VIPs (this including those Sultans, Chief Minister of any state, Minister, Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, YBs, Dato-Dato, Tan Sri-Tan Sri, their wifes , Childs, parents, relatives and so forth) to move when the traffic are red while all of us waiting patiently for the traffic to turn green? Does they think they are above the the law because they have higher position or privileges. Come on respect the other user!
The answer is, NO! This question has been staggering in my mind for quite some time. What happened to all our leaders? I know our leaders were praised for running the country smoothly but should they be praised for those acts?
There goes another example. During festive seasons, cars can be seen lining up at the tolls. Everyone seems to be frustrated because it was such a long queue. Suddenly, a car, I mean many cars, lead by a police jumped the queue! Can you imagine that? You have been lining up for ages and suddenly a car overtakes. What do you feel? I am directing this question to the VIPs. What do you feel when a car overtakes you after lining up for quite some time huh?!
Well, I am not here to despise the VIPs. I am just standing out to voice out my opinion. As you see, we, Malaysians are thoughtful to give way for an ambulance and the fire brigade because they are on a quest to save life. So, why must we give way to the VIPs? They are normal humans like us; it is just that they held higher position than we did. It does not mean that they can simply overtake us. Maybe they will die instantly if they are waiting with patience for their turn, i guess. FUCK OFF!
I too fully understand they need protection. But five to six cars tagging behind? That is too many. One or two will be sufficient. Come on there is no terrorist or any assassin or a kidnapper or a sniper that will kill you! This Malaysia not Thailand, not Indonesia, not Philipines, not Iraq or somewhere else that have such a threat. I guess that is one of the many factors that leads to many major traffic jams. I really hope someone will pay more attention to this matter. And please don't fuck off with the traffic anymore.....

BookSmart Does Not Means Anything

2006-08-07T07:20:00.000+08:00

Every year, thousands of fresh graduates enter the employment market, yet employment rates remain low. Many people write to the newspapers voicing out their concerns over the low employment rates among graduates. Similarly, employers write to the newspapers voicing out their concerns over the quality of the graduates that enter the employment market. With both parties voicing thier concerns over the other party, we find ourselves in a deadlock. Who is to be blamed? How do we change the situation?
Personally for me, the modern education system is to be blamed. Examination results has been over emphasized while the more important part of education ie critical thinking is ignored. The numero uno method to succeed in ones examinations is to try as many past year papers as possible. Every year book publishers make heeps of money publishing past year papers. Loving parents purchase tons of books expecting thier kids to try most of the exercises. When their children do well in their examinations, parents become proud of thier childs achivements. Likewise the child too becomes proud of thier "smartness". But in the long run, what does all this add up to? Before any loving parent prepares their shotgun waiting to take a shot at my head for questioning their "undying love" for their children, please be patient and allow me to elaborate.
Most graduates would have at least 15 years of education starting from standard/primary 1 all the way until complete their bachelors degree (unless you are one of those people located on the higher end of the normal curve...ie genius). Yet when we start working, how many of us can say we truely know what we are doing? I believe when many of us start working, we would feel incompetent simply because we simply do not have enough knowledge of the whatever industry we are in even after completing our bachelors degree (this applies even more to the more technical discipilines ie engineering & science). When my friend started working as an electrical engineer in a power plant, the pride of being an overseas degree holder diminished almost immediately. My friend supervisor was not even a diploma holder. Yet his technical know-how makes my friend university laboratory sessions seems like childsplay. This should make us think, what difference should a graduate have in comparison to the technician? The obvious answer will be of course EDUCATION. A graduate is suppose to be more "educated" than a technician. With this in mind, let us now question what does education do to put graduates in a position to demand a much higher salary than the less educated? From my personal experience, its definitely not the knowledge i gained in university. Lets be very frank and ask ourselves, how much knowledge gained in university is actually applied in our work. Companies usually require a new employee to undergo training before any real task is given them. The point is, graduates are not employed for thier technical knowledge but for thier "assumed" ability to think critically which is far more important.
Todays education which emphasizes so much on examinations and results has failed to produce graduates with a solid critical thinking ability but instead produced many graduates which are "book smart" (Lots of my friends which get above 3.00 over 4.00 scale during their diploma and first class and second class upper bachelor degree have a job that only suits for STPM or perhaps SPM graduates only). Students which have been excelling in thier studies suddenly find themselves incapable of securing a job simply because they do not have the extra edge required in the job. To put it very simply, its more important to know why we do what we do than to just to know how to do what we do as is being encouraged in todays education system. Good results in the past is often equated to the ability think critically. But with todays trend of setting examination papers like the past papers, good results can no longer be used as a measure of ones intelligence instead it is merely a measure of ones ability to memorise solutions from past papers (Even today we seen lots of students which get straight A in UPSR, PMR SPM and STPM, that still does not reflect how good their are).
With our education system moving further and further in this direction, it is hard to see an easy solution. Lets not also forget other skills which is important in the workforce, for example communication and articulation skills which is also not given much emphasis.
I guess the first thing we should do is to realise this issue is a problem. I doubt many of us would think this is a problem because it has become a norm. Besides, those who get scored 15A during SPM, don't think you are smart enough. The real challenge will be at the higher learning institution. And those who get first class or second upper class degree, don't think the job will easily find you. Good in education does not means get a good job.......

Mind Your Table Manner!

2006-08-04T17:56:00.000+08:00

Have we noticed or realised that amongst ourselves, when we eat out, some of us would leave bones, pieces of tissue papers and unwanted food outside the bowls and plates, and leave the whole table very unsightly? In addition to this, used tissue papers are also left on the tables?
Why cannot we at least place all these unwanted stuff, inclusive tissue papers (do make sure that the tissue papers do not fly off) within the same bowl or plate.
Some of us would push the chairs backwards, walk away and leave the chairs in that way which may obstruct walking space of others ? Is it difficult to just push the chairs nearer the tables and arrange the chair nicely as though some one is sitting inside?
Some of us attend meetings and thereafter swing the chairs and walk off, and perhaps allow the chairs to swing? Is that good manner?
Somehow, in fast food joints like KFC and Chicken Hurt where bins are prominently and conveniently displayed, do we have an obligation to make it a point to help empty leftovers with the trays provided, into the bins provided especially when the restaurants are crowded.
Restaurant workers may be paid to do whatever cleaning up. In my view, to help in those basic ways stated above, and which we will do at home perhaps will reflect well our own up bringing and education on civic consciousness. Children should be taught to place plates and bowls or arrange in such a way that these could be collected easily [not in a messy manner] by restaurants workers or maids.
Some adults and the children [are allowed by adults present] to leave these plates, bowls, tissue papers all over the tables. Surely we do not want our children to be grown up that way?
Remember, next time when we dine out or attend meetings, and misbehave as stated above, some one will think that : " Ini orang kurang ajar". [This person has not been brought up].
Further, it does not mean that we must behave only at 5 starred eateries, the behavior at Mamak stalls and Kopitiam will show that we are from a different kind of upbringing. I think those peoples need some table etiquette learning in school.....

Bloggers, Watch Out!

2006-08-03T17:30:00.000+08:00

I wonder if what I am going to write will end me in some hot soup but I am certainly not trying to cause disturbance or trying to compel the public to lose faith in the nation’s economic policies. I am merely expressing myself, using the knowledge and rationale that has been instilled on me by the education of this nation over the years(and i don't give a damn about it! and i'm not your ball carrier).
It needs no introduction, everyone in this blog, even non-bloggers are talking about it. The word is ‘beware’, for you shall face the law if you spread ‘untruths’ over the internet, with bloggers being the sole target. Within the space of 1 month, I sincerely feel that another not-so-wise move has been taken. And everyone knows that not everything is a truth and most of the time the internet material and informations are fulls with craps, lies, slander, insults and shit.
Only a while ago that we heard about the ruling regarding MyKad and how severe penalty will follow if one is found not to carry one’s MyKad. It was obviously not a very wise directive as many factors were somewhat not considered. True enough, having reviewed the feedbacks from various quarters, improvisation has to be made and till today, there were still some issues of concern regarding the ruling. Anyway, that is not the talk of town anymore.
Now, the government would like to clamp down on bloggers, on the basis that there has been false information being spread over the internet(What a crap excuse!). Has the government considered the fact that, readers of blogs are not compelled (I find this word appropriate here) to read such information. Readers obtaining the information based on their free will and having obtained such information, readers are not compelled to believe such information. The Da Vinci Code created much confusion but did the Pope called for Dan Brown to be arrested? ( Only a jerk do otherwise).
What further bemused me is that I do not understand why the government kept sailing further into the ocean to hunt while those waters close to the shore are still filled with sharks. Just look around us, we have clear-cut law offenders of all kind ranging from taxi drivers who take advantage of passengers and never follow the meter to bus drivers who double parked near bus stops causing massive jams to regular drivers who abuse the emergency lanes to smokers who smoke within an arm’s length from the ‘no smoking’ sign to any person who litters right next to the ‘dilarang membuang sampah’ sign. I did not mention about snatch thieves or robbers as these criminals are difficult to catch. But those that I have mentioned, they are everywhere and we already have existing law in place to charge these people but why aren’t the government putting in a serious effort in doing something about them? (and busy themself to get something else!)
Instead, we have to worry about our MyKad and bloggers. Come on my beloved nation! Get rid of all those daily chronic law offenders and Malaysians will love you!(and that's why i hate to lives in Malaysia) And I can say with confidence that if those chronic law offenders are brought to justice, bloggers will sing praises to your name!
Yes , I agree that if the bloggers dont have the correct information and starts slandering ..then it should be considered a crime as comments made without proper thought can become sensitive and creat disharmony.
However, I feel that we should be encouraged to voice out our comments and opinions more by blogging cos in the old days..........many were not able to do so in any form except in conversations among friends and relatives. Blogging is the latest way of expressing one's opinion in our society now and gives one a sense of freedom without fear of being reprimanded. It is good that the younger generation are allowed to do so but of course...they must be guided as well becos one tends get carried away with one's comment or views. And no wonder, nowadays, the students become more stupid and quiet in the class. When the teacher asking a question, no students willing to raise their hand and answer the questions, instead of it, the students tends to hide themself at the back of their friends because of fear, fear of those things, things like this. Besides, even at the higher learning institution, the students are unable to make a comments or gives their own opinions and suggestion and in the ends, they plagiarise others books or peoples work in order to finish their assignments. And all of this is because of this kinds of SHIT.
We are a maturing country and only by hearing and reading comments made by the very people that lives in this country, can anyone learn from any mistakes that might be made. No one is perfect.....whether one is highly educated or whether one has a lower education at all. Opinions and comments made by anyone should be taken in consideration as it is common knowledge that we never stop learning all the time. Only by listening and seeing things from anothers point of view .....do we actually learn whether we are right or wrong in what we do - whether we are in a position to govern a country, a party etc.....or in our own home.
And what does this shit means "There will be no censorship of the Internet but bloggers are not above the law for what they publish in cyberspace" and this one "On Tuesday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said such activities could affect peace and harmony in the country" and this one "He said the type of liberty found in the blogs and websites had exceeded the freedom given to the Malaysian media". No censorship but their is a surveilance against the blogger. Later on after they find something that they unfavoured with, they will detain that blogger. And this is what the fundamental liberties that we always uphold? The communist style of democracy?
I thinks this is it the (un)freedom of speech that we always voice out to the entire world. i guess........

Censorship Just Begun! Beware Malaysian Bloggers!

2006-08-02T17:56:00.001+08:00

Bloggers Beware? Of what? I don't know what to think of this. What shall become of the blogging society of Malaysia? I am a 1 year old blogger (you can laugh, it's ok) and have found blogs to be a great means of expressing myself, initiating healthy discussion & learning from others I have not met (and might not have a chance to). So are all these privileges under threat now?

I have so many questions in regards to this particular statement - "If information in blogs, websites and online portals were incorrect, bordered on slander, caused disturbance or compelled the public to lose faith in the nation’s economic policies, their authors would be detained for investigation".
First of all - is this statement a quote of our beloved PM? I mean, there was no 'quote' and 'unquote' sign at both ends of the statement. So are those exact words from our PM?
So let's assume that this is really the word-for-word statement of our PM - Has any written law been approved or issued out regarding this matter? Or is this statement issued by our beloved Prime Minister and published on national newspapers a law in itself? Call me shallow, but aren't laws supposed to be proposed to the cabinet for approval? Has a law in regards to this matter been approved?
And who is going to define words like "disturbance", "bordered on slander", "lose faith" for me? Will the police determine that or is the ISA in charge of this?
I've read of Dr.M previous promise that the government would not tamper with the internet. If this is true, then is the government turning its back on its promises, or is detaining the author for investigation not considered as tampering with the internet? And which word describes this action best - DETAIN or INVESTIGATE? How long will the person be detained & what kind of investigation are we talking about here?
Can someone please answer these questions? I need clarity to be a responsible blogger. And by the way the rumours (and whatsoever you call it) will be not exist and spread if there is nothing wrong happen. Well, is this what we have the (un)freedom of speech. And why don't the PM himself starting his blog and lets see how many Malaysian are really favoured with him perhaps his "wise" decisions.
well, we see whether Malaysia starting turn himself to be a communist country in the world......

Courtesy

2006-08-01T17:32:00.000+08:00

According to the Reader's Digest which had stated that Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as the third worst city for courtesy in the world, and this issue had bounced many oppinions from the people, but is it the time to care about the ranking? Courtesy should be acted from us with willing hearts. If you say "thank you" and pick up papers just to be ranked as the best in the world, I think, the whole point is out. These ranks are just a siren for our politeness these years, not something to compare with others. At this time, we should no ask why other country can get the 1st, why XX country is better than us, but to beef up ourselves in courtessness. I wish that Malaysian will just stop buzzing about the ranks and start to train themselves to be courteous from the bottom of their heart.
The recent survey on Malaysian behaviour, ranking third in the world in terms of rudeness, must have jolted many Malaysian. No doubt it is just a PERCEPTION. But it just this perception that is carried round the world; and it is this perception that makes tourists shy away from our shores.We must not go into denial mode because it is a perception index. Good perception will attract customers and tourists; bad perception will repel them.
Within our country, rudeness seems to be a daily occurrence. You will see it in motorists who cut lanes or beat traffic lights or double park their cars. Is it a case of kiasuism? Fear of losing out to others ? Or is downright rudeness ?
You will see rudeness at LRT stations and bus-stops. Me-first is the order of the day. Push aside anybody that is on their path, never mind if old ladies or handicapped people are knocked down.
You will see rudeness among telephone operators of establishments. The phones could go on ringing. Who cares ? Nobody cares. The operators may as well be dead or their ears filled with wax . Or , if they happen to pick up the phones, the caller is passed on from one person to another until the line goes dead. And the caller is still hanging on to his phone. Don't forget , the answering machine says " your call is very important to us! " Indeed it is! That is why you must hold on and wait until eternity!
You see rudeness in telemarketeers. They insist on talking to you , though you have told then that you do not require their Credit Card facilities or you do not want Credit balance transfers from another bank to their bank, because you do not have another Credit Card.
You see rudeness in Government departments, including Ministries . You can write any number of letters and any number of complaints. Rarely do you receive any reply. If you do receive one, you have hit a jackpot! As far as they are concerned, you do not exist. You might as well talk to the birds and bees and flowers. At least you could appreciate nature!
So, is it surprising that we rank third in rudeness ? Istead of denying that it exists, take a proactive, positive attitude. Book the rude motorists. Catch the queue-jumpers. Check the telephone-operators( see whetehr they are knitting .) Train the telemarketeers. Wake up the Departmental heads and Ministries ( Have a Monitoring department to receive complaints and pull up those laggards or "Little Napoleons" ) If something is done, then the perception index will improve. Does anybody care ? Or you just paddle your own canoe! Why bother ?
I strongly believe the recent Reader's Digest survey that ranks Kuala Lumpur as the third rudest city in the world is appropriate. In fact it will be more appropriate to rank the whole nation as the rudest in the world.
For those who drive their cars, try take public transportation during peak hours and you will be irked by the attitude of commuters. Pushing and shoving to board buses and trains without giving prior priority to disembarking passengers are a norm. Then, shouts of masuk dalam...dalam lagi...lagi... from conductors and harassments by taxi touts who just want to maximize revenue will drive you mad. The number of courteous passengers is negligible. How many times can you see disabled, pregnant mothers and the old are made to stand by selfish passengers?
Our road statistics proves another point. Malaysian drivers are like demons from hell. Drive within the speed limit and you are the slowest on the road. Try blow the honk or flash the lights when another car makes a dangerous manouvre and you will be shown a middle finger. Why don't strictly stick to traffic rules to ensure a safe journey home? These demons are just showing the world that they are racing to see who gets to meet their maker first. With this poor driving attitude, there's no surprise why accident rate keep piling up, especially festive seasons. And that is why after years of campaigns and Ops Sikaps can't make things better.
And how do you rate the way Malaysians speak? My answer is horrendous. They seem to have no respect among each other and love to raise their voice unnecessarily. And then, how many times do you get good customer service like thank you and service with a smile? And will there be help given when you accidentally drop your belongings to the floor?
We boast having the tallest towers and the longest bridge, the most beautiful structures etc. And yet, this is a showcase that Malaysians care only about appearance at the expense of moral values. This truly fits the Prime Minister’s description of world class facilities but bullshit mentality or (third world class minded).
And do you think that we can improve? I doubt so. Malaysian parents are bad role models. So, how can you expect them to nurture disciplined children? Nor can the young look to politicians, who seem to be ignorant or in denial, for guidance.
To all rude Malaysians, shame on you! You are just 14 years away from 2020. Is this the attitude that you are proud to show the world?
Well, does this will wake up all Malaysian about courtesy......

Irritating

2006-07-31T18:35:00.000+08:00

Nowadays, it is indeed annoying to find that our privacies are intrued upon, even in our own home and there is very little one can do about it....sigh !
Take the example of unwanted flyers stuffed into our letter boxes, gates and God knows where, promoting all manner of things from TV repairs, plumbing services, hypermarkets promotions to Alongs (Loan Sharks) trying to lend you some money to tide you over bad times. The result? Litter everywhere that we have to throw away. And there is nothing you can do to stop them from coming. Silently they come, like computer viruses.
Then you have those over zealous door-to-door type of salespersons who will ring your door bell until you respond. They give new meaning to the word 'persistence'. And the worst times are when you are taking that precious little afternoon nap on Sunday, your once-a-week luxury ! The devil in you may want to yell at them to get lost, but the angel in you says "after all, they are only earning an honest living" . By the time you are through with your internal debate, sleep alludes you.
And the new trick that they used is by using childs at the age between 17 to 15. Sometimes they used female salespersons to get you trap on their "good" schemes. What the hell they think actually?!
And what about those guys that come around your neighbourhood in a van, blaring 'sow kow poh chi', old newspaper, surat khabar lama' through his loud speakers? Well, to be fair, this one is not so bad, considering they are clearing my trash and give me a few ringgit.
What must I do to escape them? Move to a condominium or some gated community? Does they ever think about other peoples.......

Annoying Commercial Break

2006-07-29T17:41:00.000+08:00

We pay for satellite TV mainly for its interesting, latest programmes as well as its uninterrupted programming. Obviously, Astro have a different view and continue to annoy us, don't they? For example, the Hallmark channel might as well be called the 'Jugding Amy' channel considering the number of times that show is on, and there are far too many repeats of old films.
Though I hope they don't take off their coolest, hottest show so far, 'Spook', which is only shown twice a week on the same night. Plus, there are far too many interruptions on its programmes either by commercials or promotions of programmes on other channels, even on programmes that are currently on air.
Do they actually think that we don't know that they're not commercial TV, hence no commercial, or are they just pushing our patience to the limit?
I usually mute my TV at this point or switch channels, only to find more of the same 'noise' on the other channels. Does it occur to them that If we want to know what's on, we look it up on the guide or in the TV Guide they send us every month?
If not, what's the point of spending copious amount of money on that glossy publication then? I think they should limit the interruptions to announcement of special live programmes only.
I'm so irritated by this especially while watching my favourite programmes like CSI or Boston Legal, with 2 minutes of actual show and 5 minutes of 'noise'.
With their high revenues, surely they could give us quality and up-to-date programmes, minus the headache-inducing promotions that end up being a turn-off anyway.
I also hope they stop buying crappy American sitcoms for channel 70 like 'still standing', 'my wife & kids', or 'yes dear' and such rubbish. If they're still not sure what they're suppose to do, i suggest they check out how singapore does it.
They are more annoying compared to TV3 which is curretly the most annoying tv channel in Malaysia with a lot of commercial break. Why don't they make a commercial break only tv channel......

Hair Dying

2006-07-28T19:31:00.000+08:00

Hair dying seem to be the "in thing" nowadays. Go to the shopping mall, or eating places, or any place, you will see a sea of dyed hair in all hues imaginable can be seen especially among women and young ladies and not to forget the men. While most option for shades of brown, reddish brown, even blond, colours like violet and even green are sometimes seen among the more daring (for me it is more like a pile of dog shit on the head!).
While I cannot say that I am a fan of coloured crown of glory, I do have some prejudices against over-dying, meaning outrageous colouring of one's hair like blond and deep reddish and of course the abominable violet and blue and green and what not. The thing that irritate me is that some of the ladies/men who don't such colours are well past the half century mark in age, with a "spare tyre" around their their waist and wearing tight t-shirt and leotard, and they strut around in supermarket aisles carrying their grandchildren! Don't they have full length mirrors at home? Or their family members act as fashion critics or consultants? One middle age lady I saw even wore a low jean and short t-shirt, exposing the navel and the cleavage of the butt! Of course the compulsory tattoo of a dragon peek out cheekily on the bum. And the new hair growth showed strands and strands of grey hair!
Now back to hair dying again. Do you notice that a lot of young motor cyclists mechanics, odd job workers with torn jeans and dirty t-shirt are invariably with hairs dyed yellow and light brown? or some buruh kasar dying their hair? And many criminals had their hair dyed, unkempt and often with half of the new growth of hair undyed? And often with tattoo on their arms just above the sleeve line, so that they show out partially? Whay is the message they are trying to convey?
All I am trying to say here is, ladies/men if you want to dye your hair, do them tastefully or risk being the laughing stock of the crowd or even your colleagues or friends and watch out for the new growth of hairs especially the grey ones! And secondly, guys! do not dye your hair, they are for ladies only. (This applies to "celebrities" like Daniel Lee the Malaysian Idol !) Guys look sissy with dyed hairs.
Some peoples who dyed their hair looks like there is some karat besi stick at their head........

Cybercafe Or GamingCafe

2006-07-27T18:30:00.000+08:00

How many times did you ever get frustrated when you are going to some place so-called "cybercafes" to search for useful information while being disturbed by the constant bombardment of blasting cacophony of Counter Strike, Dota, Delta Force, etc.? You may have started wondering the original purposes of and the definition for 'cybercafe' since there are plenty of them who do not understand it, and they need your immediate clarification. Sometimes, it make to think again that the cybercafe is a gaming zone for those juvenile (as many of this gamer are juvenile).
In fact, does this kind of "cybercafe" encourage learning and studies through the use of e-materials in this Information Age or does it dampen them by, on the contrary, promoting gaming zeal, or simply indulgence? Or put it in this way, do you think it is worthwhile for a school studentswhich suppose most of their times for their education. Instead of revise their study and doing their homework, they went to a "cybercafe" next door for serious gaming, which is, in fact, a wasteful pastime, in lieu of using them on some other more beneficial activities?
After all, what actually constitutes all these scenarios of transformation? It is simple and obvious enough to tell by observing how those ravenous gamers, who would probably die without games for even one day, flocking to cybercafes in such a way that they do not have other more meaningful things to deal with than gaming. They may be great gamers with almost perfect gaming strategies but still get fooled in the real world - they created the demand; they pay for it (and cybercafe owners are counting their money of course).
And i wonder that does their parents really know where does the money that they gives to their childs goes? Some of this kiddo are absent from their school and spent their times in the so called cybercafe until very late at night. Apart from that, i wonder does this cybercafe owner really know what is cybercafe really are? Some of this cybercafe does not have any internet connection at all. While others which have the connection, most of its user are not looking for the e-material but more on online gaming.
I wonder that Cybercafe is Gamingcafe while Internetcafe is then will be the true cybercafe.....

Superstitions-Believe It Or Not

2006-07-26T18:22:00.000+08:00

Many of us have our own beliefs and cultural or religious teachings which we adhere to. However I find that some people take this a bit too far to the extent it is amusing. Yes it is really amusing.
Take my good friend for example. She NEVER points at the rainbow as according to her, it is actually could make you lose your pointing finger in a night.
On the other hand some of the pantangs could have its own reasonings. For example, Hindus believe that during pregnancy, the mother-to-be should not participate too closely in any functions such as a wedding or house warming ceremony. This is because the loud noise from the drums or other musical instruments could affect the fetus. But many ignore this belief because they think it is stupid.
Just like Lynda said in her entry about Finding Luck, i'm not believe in such thing. And i know some of the supersitious thing in my culture. Among of it likes do not whistle in the middle of the night, don't not make sound from the plate that you use while eating and some few omens thats for me is so ridicolous.
But i believe that there is some reasons for such thing. But for sure it is somethng for our own goodness to at least. For example do not whistle in the middle of the night cause the ghost might haunt you later on. but actually there is some reason for it. As we all know the sound that we make at night are more laud compare at the daylight. Thus the sound that we make might annoying other peoples which might already sleeping.
Therefore not all superstitions are useless. Some have their own reasonings. So adhere to them wisely......

Will You Marry Me???

2006-07-25T19:13:00.000+08:00

How do you propose to your girl friend? Do you go on one bended knee ( why not on TWO knees ? ) , with a ring in hand and propose to her ? Many love-stricken boys go crazy and hence use crazy, bizarre ways to propose to their girls of their dreams; and fall flat on their faces! If it happens in such a fashion is it a sign of bad omen ? Or else?
I have read about a young couple who flew in a Cessna plane and he wanted to propose in the sky! Unfortunately, the plane crashed; and he had to do the proposal in an ambualnce!That was a bruising affair and the funny one.
In Malaysia, I just wonder whether a boy climbs up a coconut tree or a ladder and shouts to his girl his proposal . Probably he may have to do this way because her parents may not be too keen to give away their beautiful , well-bred daughter to an ugly , uneducated boy. As most of today parents are more looks whether the boy whose is proposed to marry their doughter rich or not. The second thought is whether that boy is well educated or not?
Prince Charles went on one bended knee and proposed to Carmelia, his long-time companion.There was one case where a couple went undersea and did it . They were both scuba divers, no wonder.
In normal circumstances, a couple may have a long relationship writing hundreds or thousands of long, love letters. Then a time comes when they get tired of writing letters. Instead they now send smses or e-mails. This is the modern style of courtship and sending proposals.(some od divorce proposal also sends through e-mails and sms too)
There are occasions when a baby is created before the marriage. So, a quickly-arranged shot -gun marriage is set. There is no time to waste on proposals. Time is of vital importance. But in Western countries, there are couples who do not get married at all and have brought into the world a couple of kids! What are they called ?
In a conservative society, a match-maker may be used to ask the parents of the girl for a her hand in marriage, bearing gifts. This is a formality, though the couple may be friends for a long time and may wish to tie the knot.
A married man once told me that marriage is just like going to a cinema. You are eager to get into the cinema -hall. After the show , you are eager to get out! Is it familiarity which breeds contempt ? Then, what has happeend to the loving courtship?Where is the GLOW ?
Well, maybe i will bends one knee while propose to my dream girl at th romantics restaurant, i guess........

Truth

2006-07-24T19:14:00.000+08:00

If you read Harian Metro today, you will read about Siswi Jual Tubuh. Well, that is what were happen today and also confirm my entry on May 13, 2006 which title as "Bitch". As i'm stated in my previous entry, actually these phenomena is already widespread among female students in Malaysia.
The different between my previous entry with the Harian Metro is i'm write it based on my point of view and focused more on my ethnic only which is suit with my blog. See, how truth what was i post before. And it is very nice to see this phenomena just get the newspaper attention even it is does not reveal the true facts on what was really going on.
The facts is most of them is actually a lone ranger seller or done this business in a small group of 2 or 3. The amount which is work as a part time actually is so small but those who work alone is more bigger. Some of them can afford a lot of things such as car (at least kelisa man!).
And how they do their job is they only available for rent in weekends and only a few which is available 24-7. They just waits for the phone call and tells them when you needs them.Then they will gives you the location where you can pick them up (Usually at their nearby bus stop) and also their bank account number. You need bank in the money first. After they confirm the money is already bank in, then they will call you that they are ready to be pickup. And that is a little bit that i know on how they operate their activities.
And if they operate their activities from certain places like night club or pub, usually you have to looks and track them down first. Usually they will ask some of their friends whether you are the reguler customer at that places or not. If not, you chances will be so little to know them. They are very carefull sometimes but if you know where is the weakness of a female especially a students, you will not have any problem.
The main reasons why more and more females students involved in this activities is because of their surrounding and their friends influences. Everything is starting when they are trying to enjoy themself at disko, night club or pub. Some might continue their journey by selling their own body while others destroying themself.
Let me tell you one true story which is happen few years ago. The story is about Miss S, she is among the top female students at that time. Yeah of course she is top at that time because every male students want to be her couple. Well who don't want to be her couple??? she is mixed caucasians and iban (sea dayak) what! She already have boyfriend actually, oneday her friends was asking her to go out to release tension because of mid term examination. She agree with it and that was her first time. A few days later once again they go out together. This time she is very lucky as she get to know this rich guy. At her first meeting with this guy, this guy gives her a necklaces. Starting from that moments, all things that she used is something not affordable as a student. And i guess you know what was the return for something that you cannot afford right?
To be frank, this social illness is actually happen in any local higher learning institution in Malaysia. Even at Unimas and UiTM at Samarahan Sarawak (Thanks for James Veron to confirm this to me). So for those who have a doughter which is still study at higher learning institution, it is better to make a surprise visit to them even your doughter looks so alim while she is in the house because you never know the true face of your doughter. Besides that , as far as i know the person who is looks so naive and alim actually is the most devil one.
Better to check it now then feels sorry later...........

Idiot!

2006-07-22T17:12:00.000+08:00

I'm does not know how to call this peninsular Malaysia peoples are, whether there are so idiot or so moron, i don't know. They only could thinks that in Malaysia, there are only 3 races inhabit in (my ass) Malaysia. If does there is another races, it could be the foreigner or Orang Asli (how thick their knowledge).
Today i feels enough with all of this shit assumptions done by peninsular Malaysian. Some of them, even does not know that Sarawak is part of Malaysia. They just know that Sabah and Labuan but not Sarawak.
Furthermore some of them does not know where exactly are Sarawak is located! Give me a break! What a fool!
If does that they know Sarawak, they think that most of Sarawak peoples lives above the tree! Apart from that, they thinks that the jungles are still all over the places. What a pathethic point of view!
Not only that, if they have a little knowledge about Sarawak, they will try to related Sarawak with Gambir (unceria gambir) and Ikan terubuk masin! Yes, that is the only thing that they know about Sarawak?
Sometimes, when i got stumble with an old peoples or i want to be friendly with some old peoples. The first thing that they will ask me is whether i'm a chinese??? Does i'm really looks like a chinese???!!! Then they will said this after i'm gives them the answer-"Ala, ingatkan anak apek mana tadi...". "Oo, i thought which chinese son are you before".
So does when i come encounter the chinese, they think that i'm looks like malay! What the fuck! Are they blind or what? And the most thing is when come to India peoples, they will ask me twice whether i'm a chinese or malay. Why does this peninsular Malaysian are so damn fucking idiot. Does they ever know that in Malaysia, there is diversity of races and ethinics? Or they so fucking idiot when they teacher are teaching them at school?
Sometimes, when they ask me whether i'm a chinese or malay (luckily i'm not dark, if not maybe i will be ask whether i'm an India), i will answer like this-" Nope, i'm not malay, i'm not chinese and i'm not Malaysian, I'm a Korean!".
That's not all, there is another stupidity done by this peoples especially malay. I'm usually wear short and a sandle when go out on Friday. When there is a member of mosque passing me, they will looks at me from down up to my head and ask me "Hey! why don't you go to mosque and make a Friday pray and why you dress like that on this Friday?!". Usually i'm just ignored it. But Sometimes, they will ask me more then once and that really makes my nerves!
And my answer usually like this "Hey! you damn motherfucker anti-christ follower! do you think that islam is the only religion in Malaysia huh?! Go to hell lah, you and your religion!" This situation also happen when i go to chinese restaurant. The chinese will ask me that "laoban, do you could eat pork?" . I always reply that "hei! of course i could eat pork! i'm not like you all which eat babi hutan masak kari (Wild boar cooked in curry)". For your information, it is my first time that i know chinese are consume curry pork, breakfast with nasi lemak. As far as i know, chinese never eat curry and never have breakfast with nasi lemak.
Living here is like living in mental hospital....

First Impressions

2006-07-21T20:09:00.000+08:00

My day will come very soon. Before, i'm in scruffy jeans and T-shirt as a student, and before i know it, i'm trying to look and feel comfortable in the outfit bought specially for The Interview. And overnight, i'm expectating to transform from campus shabby dude to savvy executive.
Of course, everybody knows it does not matter how i'm look like on the outside. It is the inside that matters. Nevertheless, if application forms are rejected for bad presentation, are employers not equally choosy about personal appearance?
I try to imagine myself as a manager who is about to interview a candidate for a job. Candidate A comes in a smart shirt and tie, and i'm notice that his nails are clean and that he has had a new haircut. Candidate B shows up in khakis and a casual shirt, and chews gum. Given that both are similarly qualified, whom would i'm will choose?
First impressions does matter, whether going for a job interview or arriving for first day of work. Right or wrong, it is human nature to form a snapshot opinion about someone based on the initial visual appraisal. I'm believe in love at first sight, i'm can certainly count on being rejected at first sight, too.
It helps enormously if my general appearance conveys the right message i thinks. Even if it is my first job, it pays to look successful, competent and confident, or at least fake it till i'm make it. The idea is to project my future self instead of the young and inexperienced colt that i'm are. Dressing well works wonders in boosting my image and branding myself. If nothing else, people will remember me as someone who looked professional and capable. A well-turned out person is simply easier to recall.
And that is i'm trying to do currently and practices before i'm gone for my interview and hope that i could tackle the job that i want just in a few shoot. Apart from that i'm also try to follow up several tips given to me. Among the tips that i follows are as below:-

Dress professionally, not fashionably. A jacket that looks good and feels right is always a good buy. Keep to neutrals; leave bright complementary colours for highlights, such as blouses for women or ties for men.

Do use deodorant or antiperspirant, not perfume or aftershave. I guess my choice of fragrance may not sit well with the interviewer.

I'm not wear anything that dangles or that i'm might fidget with, as it can distract the interviewer from what i'm are saying.

Make sure my eyebrows are visible and not hiding underneath my hair, or i'm will appear less confident.

Footwear is particularly telling. Scruffy shoes show a lack of care and attention, and this can be interpreted as the attitude that i'm may bring to the job. The same can be said about other aspects of personal grooming.

But i still need help on what i should do before, during and after the interview. I'm feels very anxious for this big events of my lifes. Sometimes i'm a little bit scared to waiting for a call of interviews. Well, just wait and see.
Is it really a big deal for the first impressions........

Sex Is Obsession Or Needs?

2006-07-20T19:51:00.000+08:00

I was discussed about what kind of entry that i should post more in my blog with my friends yesterday as we discuss about the relevance of the existence of blog to the community generally. We also discussed what makes certain blog are better compared to the other blogs. So we come out with several ideas. My friends suggest that i should post something educational, something that could make peoples to thinks and discuss. So i come out this entry today.
If you realized that more and more "Sexual Innuendoes". Whether it was on a sitcom, or on a fruit-juice commercial; we are seemingly obsessed with getting to the point of Orgasm. We might not actually reach the mighty climax from the antacid commercial; we will however be stimulated and titillated.
Before we go on, lets take a quick look on our society. We CRAVE to be stimulated. We are an adrenaline, nerve-tingling, heart-pounding group of people. We long for the next sensation, whether it be pleasurable or otherwise the opposite, we are constantly looking for our next thrill. It is this constant need to be intrigued or titillated that has caused this seemingly explosion of orgasmic chewing gum commercials.
If we take a look into our culture, our beloved "Pop-Culture", we will begin to see the ramifications of our sex obsession. Okay, walk into your local theater, look at the films that Hollywood has released or will be released. Nearly all of them have deep sexual undertones. And some of them aren't even undertones, the entire film is about Sex and its extreme importance to living a happy life. You does not aware about it but that is it.
Probably the most serious, and obvious result in the Orgasm Nation is the age that individuals are starting to be sexually active. Nowadays, it's very common for kids to start "fooling around" at age 12, 13, 14. Before these kids can even think about driving a car, they are having sex, or doing "anything but". But could this be that teenagers have a more detailed view of the world, than teenagers had in the 40s or 50s? With the extreme easy access of information literally at the fingertips of teens via the Internet or Television is their rapid growth of maturity the reason from this "information age"?
And that is what we know and understand about sex at nowadays. But in the others side, having sex actually have its own goodness. It was proven scientifically if i were not mistaken that having sex could ensure healthiness. There is research made which found that the person who have more sex have better stamina and health condition besides this peoples are less to get flu or running nose disease compared to those have less sex. Can you imagine that, if you done one intercourse, you already finish 100 metre race???
Besides, having sex will ensure the continuity of your family and your family will spread over the world. Apart from that it also could make you and your couple more closed as both of you shared together the moment of lifes.
but i still thinking that is sex is obsession or needs??? What is your opinion.........

Power

2006-07-19T16:13:00.000+08:00

If you were given a choices, which power will you choose between the power of might and strength, power of wealth and influence and power of knowledge and information? And which power is really dominance over each others?
Each power have its own strength and weakness. Most of us will choose the power of wealth and influences. But if we assess carefully of each power, we will discover that all of this power have an influence on each others.
A country likes US which have all of this power seems to be a far ahead compared to several country in the world for example Malaysia. But to master all of this power, you have to learn it one by one.
Lets go back to the ancient time, an empire like Rome, Greece and China, all of this empire are started from the power of might and strength. They have very large army that ready to receive the order from the higher ruler. By having the power of might and strength, they start gain their wealth and finally the knowledge.
How about from the individual context, do we could get any of this power? If you ask me, i would said "Yes!". yes we could have this power but we need to gives some efforts to achieve it. If hundred years ago, an individual which is have some strength and might could achieve lot of thing, nowadays it is different. In order to achieve something, you really need to have the power of wealth and influences. By having such kind of power, you could done a lot of things that you could not imagine including makes a slaves of those who have the power of strength and might. Its means that even you have the power of strength and might, you are still could be control by those who have the power of wealth and influence.
But i believe that as the world become more and more relies on knowledge and information, the power of knowledge and information will take the leads in the future. But for now, i still believe that the power of strength and might could change a lots of things.
So how about you........

Curiosity

2006-07-18T17:11:00.000+08:00

After i reads Desmond Blog (Nadai Nama-Nama) on the his entry about Talk To The Dead Person, i become so curios to know how exactly the near death experience. How does the hell and heaven are looks like? Does it feels very sick to leaves your last breath? Does we will feels very thirsty? Do we will feels so horrible when we on the journey to hell like in the Constantine movie?
i really want to know it. What and how do you will feels when you are actually dead and suddenly you come to lives again? Can you imagine that you are already confirm by the doctor that clinically you are dead. And now you are lying on your coffin, suddenly you come to live just like someone wake up from their very long sleep. Can you imagine that?
When our souls leaves our body, does our soul will looks back and said that "Hae! I'm living my body apart!" Or maybe our souls will said that " Wow! finally i'm free from my fat and ugly with lots of disease body!".
Do we will feels any pain when our souls start slowly crawling out of our body? Does there are really an angel besides us when we are at the moment of our death? How does it feels lying in the coffin, in the ground? But for sure, inside there, everything are so dark.
See it is to many question about near dead experience and death itself. Just like i said before, i'm become so curios to know after i read Desmond entry. I wondering that, does the died peoples are still with us in this world. How about ghost, does it is the soul of the death peoples who is still wandering that they are still have some business to do?
Well, maybe i'm guess to much but for sure every human being will be died at the ends of their lifes. Unless you have some supernatural power that could incarnate you yourself. Or unless you are the Highlanders warriors like Connor MacLeod or the Vampires, whose knows right?
But i think that those babies which died early will be an angel in heaven.......

Wacko!

2006-07-17T19:49:00.000+08:00

Malaysia Pop star Siti Nurhaliza will wed businessman Datuk Khalid Mohamed Jiwa on Aug 21. The engagement and akad nikah ceremony will be held at Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, while wedding receptions are scheduled for Aug 28 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and Sep 3 in Kuala Lipis, Pahang.
Well, i'm not a big fan of this Malaysia Pop star-Siti Nurhaliza but i want to make an entry about her. So here is what was happen, The cupid that was assigned for her screwed up big time. Well, she has choose a divorce man to be her husband. What a pathetic option!
Besides, this is what i could conclude from her decision which is already known to the whole nation wide. She is no better than those celebs who proudly snatched a wife's hapiness. Does she knows that a divorced man are off limit?! Or Maybe she'd rather gladly adding herself to the statistics? Or she just a high class whore?
Its totally insane for those who's being very careful with her reputation resorts to engage with a married man. Pathetic! Total eclipse of the heart. And that one i'm not call it as a love but it is a lust!
It is just a few months that horny divorced man have a divorced with his former wife and he cannot wait any longer to taste the young and popular meat huh? It is so obvious that man is sex maniacs.
While this pop star which is looking for a divorced man, actually maybe looking for an experience man who is could fulfill her thirsty for the whole night. I guess! What a crap! maybe she is too desperated looking for her life partner or maybe she is too blind when falls in love with this old divorce man which is could be died very soon. what a bad taste!
So i guess is she is a Malaysia No. 1 Pop Star or Malaysia No. 1 Porn Star........?
What a sluts..............

Love

2006-07-15T16:42:00.000+08:00

What do you think about love? How can you define it? How do you know that you are falls in love? What is love all about? But for sure love is something about feeling on others people. Love is when you really care about other people.
Sometimes love could motivate you so much but sometime it is really destructiable. It could destroy just in a second! Rome which is been created for hundred of years could be destroy in a few days. Its all about love.
Sorry, it seems today my entry a little bit about emotion. Last night i have a dream, a dream about someone that i love so much few yers ago. We never meet each other since we are broken from each others four years ago. Even i cannot remenber the dream very well but i know that it is plays around with two person which is really gives an impact to my lifes few years ago. Yes, it really drive me crazy!
Back few years ago, Miss L was a classmate of mine. I 'm enjoy his companionship very much. She always smile and happy go lucky all the time. She also the most silence person in the class and the person that i always disturbed in the class. Then i start liked her more then a friends. Suddenly her friend told me that she already engage and have a fiance. Then i know why she does only want our relationship just a friend. but a year later then i know the truth, she rejected me not because of the engagement but because of the other things. Whatever!
Then i turn myself to Miss P. Before we been a couple, we usually going out together. Sometimes, when there is a class break, we will have our break together. We always spend our times sometime discuss about certain education subject. Besides that, we always change our lecture note, she copying mine and i copying her note. We become a couple 2 month before the graduation. After 4 months of graduation, we broke up. She gives a lt of reason and most of it really does not satisfying me. Until today, i still waiting for her true reason why we have to broke up.
Thats is my love story for today entry and that is it for this week.
See yaaa.........

Head Butt Or Butt Head?

2006-07-14T13:24:00.000+08:00

Well, the world cup 2006 are just one week close its curtain, most of us still talking about it. Me and my friends still argue with each other about the incident of Zidane and Materrazi in the previous world cup final.
Here, i would like to ask you, is it approriate for Zidane to headbutt Materrazi in the previous final world cup 2006 match? Is it a wise decision made by Zidane? Within this coming weeks, FIFA will conduct an hearing about what was happen. The incident of shaolin soccer of Zidane which savage headbutt Materrazi has touched lot of things-race, family, country, terrorism and sportmanship. Nevertheless, it also cought lot of attention from the blog world too.
Zidane claim that Materrazi was insult his family, race and his origin country. While Materrazi claim the other things was happen. But for sure, Zidane has done something that only idiot will do. As a veteran in football, a professional footballer and receive lot of honours, he should not act like a 10 years child. He should turn it to something make him more then just a hero. Besides that he should carry in forward in court or somekind of it rather then to take ownself law.
He should know that, by headbutt other player just because of the insults is something stupid. He should know that, insult other player is something normal in football. It is a dirty psychology tactique in order to win the match. And he himself also ever insult other player too.
Zidane seems lost his temper in that match because (if you watch that match) he was control by Materrazi tightly which forbids him from move freely. This make him unable to find another goal to help France win the World Cup 2006. The only way out is headbutt the player who is control him. The same thing also happen previously, here is some records that Zidane also has headbutt other players previously.
From 2004 Guardian press release.

"One of the theories about Zidane as a player is that he is driven by an inner rage. His football is elegant and masterful, charged with technique and vision. But he can still erupt into shocking violence that is as sudden as it is inexplicable. The most famous examples of this include head butting Jochen Kientz of Hamburg during a Champions League match, when he was at Juventus in 2000 (an action that cost him a five match suspension) and his stomping on the hapless Faoud Amin of Saudi Arabia during the 1998 World Cup finals (this latter action was, strangely enough, widely applauded in the Berber community as Zidane's revenge on hated Arab 'extremists')".

So what do you think about him now, is it he still your hero?
So is it head butt or butt head.........

Wishes

2006-07-13T14:49:00.000+08:00

I don't know what were happen to me today, i wish to read some blog that is written by policeman/woman or any uniform job person. I really want to know what are they doing in the job. Usually i always read LAFD News & Info blog. But now my minds start demanding more blogs like that to read. It would be nice to read such kind of blog.
Not only that, it would be nice if somekind of that blog are available in the blogosphere. Rather then to have some stupid blog like gay and porn blog. I really wish to read some blog which is maintained by someone powerful in politics or in his country or nation.
What i means is some blogs that is written by a president or prime minister of the country. Or perhaps some blog which is maintained by someone well know around the globe like prince, princess, king, queen, film producer, Hollywood artist, politician or maybe some scientist. It would be so nice to read somekind of that blog.
Luckily, there is some blog which is maintained by a footballer like Ronaldinho, Gianluigi Buffon and Michael Owen. At least we could learn something from them. Or we could get some info from them. Maybe i'm not surf that much to encounter such a blog but i do read it if i found it. It is my pleasure to read such a blog. And maybe i would visit it regurly.
Besides that, i really wish that i could give comments more often in the blogs that i always visits. I know lately, i seldom make a comments in certain blog that i visit because of the World Cup 2006 withdrawal, i always spend more of my internet time on the news about post World Cup events. Due to this reason, i always neglect to make comments on the blog that i regurly visit.
Not only that, i also wish that i could post some quality entry but i usually lack of idea on the entry that i want to post. Just what Lynda said in her blog, sometimes it is so odd to me when there is nothing that i could post. And then i will start to posting something nonsense and mumbling without purposes.
Maybe i should get some refreshment of idea. what do you thinks......

Anniversary

2006-07-12T20:32:00.000+08:00

This month, the most dominant local tv station TV3 are celebrating their 22 years of aniversary. TV3 which is own by Media Prima Bhd, was launched on 1984. Today, this tv station were the most dominant tv station in Malaysia perhaps the most view by the viewers.
Due to this aniversary, Tv3 were air lots of blockbuster movies for the whole of this week starting July 10, 2006 until July 14, 2006. Among the movies that will be air are Pirates Of The Caribean, Infernal Affairs 2 and X-Man.
With "Your Choice Station" slogan, Tv3 are making themself as the best non pay tv station in Malaysia. But in my point of view, Tv3 are not that awesome tv station. Even they have several quality tv programme, it still does not make to consider this tv station are my favorites tv station. Sometimes, the advertisement n the tv are to long and sometimes it is more longer than the programme itself. And sometimes its really make me lose my patiences.
Besides, its programme sometimes are really nonsense like "Wakenabeb" and "apa- apa aje'. Not only that this tv stations does not focus on something educational and knowledge. Last year, we still could watch the "National Geographic" but nowadays, such programmes are outlisted. They tend to air some programme like gossip and love concepts drama or tv series or maybe some stupid jokes sit com like "Scenario" and "Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu".
Whatever it is, Happy Anniverary......

Quest

2006-07-11T18:41:00.000+08:00

With the closing of the curtain of the World Cup 2006, Malaysia once again hit by the singing competition made by local tv stations. There 4 major singging competition- "Akademi Fantasia" made by Astro, "Malaysia Idol" made by NTV7, "Mentor" made by TV3 and "One In The Million" by NTV7. All of this competition reguired the viewer to vote via sms in order to ensure their favourite to win the competition and become an artist. Yea become an artist, an instant artist with no quality.
All of this competition is in the quest to looks for the new shining star that could truely a singer. But what is really happen todays is, it is only way that those local television and phone services provider to exploit their customer and viewers. Through such competition, they could gains a millions of dollars. In the ends, the viewer and the customer who will suffers the effects of voting through sms.
Those competition does not really to produce the good and qualify singer. For several of this years, i still does not see any singer that really good which could go far. But there is an exception case to Jacqueline Victor, a singer of the Malaysia Idol product. Other than her, all of the singer which is produced by "Akademi Fantasia", "Mentor", Malaysia Idol" and the latest one "One In The Millions" is just a pieces of nothing. All of them does not possess any quality.
Besides, they just likes a chipsmore, now you see, now you don't. I see that they just want to be praise and get instant glamour. They does not have any objective to achieve and made, just want to be an artist in name only.
Whatever......

Congratulazioni Italia

2006-07-10T20:03:00.000+08:00

Bravo Italia, Bravo, Congratulazioni. Italy win the World Cup 2006 after 120 minutes of drama. We see how the Italian come under pressure in which they have to keep their last defence not to be penetrated that easy! We also see how the shameful, man without honour Zinedine Zidane get a red card! We also see how the true gol are scored! Just like what i has said before the Italia will win this 2006 World Cup. It is a replay of the 1982 drama which we also see the Azzuri also win the 1982 WorldCup.
Even Italy played without Nesta, his jobs was excellently carried out by Cannavaro and Buffon and the rest of the Italy team. The penalty kick which is taken by man without honour Zidane is actually not a penalty kick. It is supposed to ne not a penalty kick and the referee seems more favoured with the France team which he gives France lot of advantages.
But i a little bit disappointed because cannot see the result of the game in 90 or 120 minutes as Pirlo and Toni has a chance to make a different. And that is the game and they deserve the trophy. Maybe the results could be diffrent if Mercello Lippi could change Luca Toni with Gilardino or Filipo Inzaghi since Italy which have a very good in defence and midfield, they actually need a pure striker like Christian Vieri for their campaign. Anywhere Italy already win the trophy. Besides that, Italy through their several player like Cannavaro, Buffon and Pirlo also win another awards. Cannavaro and Pirlo win the Adidas Silver and Bronze ball while Buffon win the Lev Yashin awards which make him among the best goal keeper of the world beside Yashin , Kahn and Barthez.
On the other hands, France deserve their defeat. A well known and a star which is know a lot of things and win a lots of honour Zinedine Zidane shall not act like a 10 years child which does not have any sportmanship spirit. What a shameful acts done by Zidane on Materazzi! Now Zidane will retired from the international match with shame, embrassement. without honour and pride, furthemore he is not deserve the Adidas Golden Ball award. Goodbye man without honor and pride, goodbye.
Well the World Cup 2006 already close its curtain and it is also the sign of the another journey to be begin. With the South Africa become the host nation of World Cup 2010, the official website not yet decided. The African nation currently in the process of building four new stadiums and upgrading another nine stadiums. For sure we also could see the Italy and South Africa therein 2010 as Italy the winner of 2006 World Cup and South Africa as host country which will not need to go through the qualification stages. Besides that, we also will see some new rules which will be applied. The first one will be 2 referee in one match and the player only will miss the next match if they have got 3 yellow cards.
By the way, this blog will be continued like before and wait for World Cup 2010 to once again gives a support and predicts which team will win the World Cup. Until then, this blog is back to its usual entry.
Bravo Italia....................

Clash Of The Titans

2006-07-08T16:43:00.000+08:00

With World Cup 2006 Germany near its end, everythings seems back to normal yet there is another two matches needed to decided. The first one will be between Portugal and Germany for third and fourth places.
Germany with their defeat to Italy in the semi final will rise and destroy the Portugalarmada which is lead by Luis Figo. I'm very sure about this, furthermore Germany will not want to be embarrased again on their own homeground. Beside with the award of Best Young Gillette Player win by Lukas Podolski and the return of "King" Kahn, this will be at least will motivate the Germany players to give their 110 %.
While on the other side, Portugal seems to be satisfied with what they have achieve currently will not give a very much resistance again the Germany squad. If the Portugal still depends on the "No Brain" Christiano Ronaldo, they will not get anywhere. Christiano Ronaldo in point of view does not have a brain while playing football. Why? looks for yourself in the previous match. When he get the ball, he will run with the ball straight until the ends of the field. What does he thinks actually while dribbling the ball? Is it playing the football is the same as the 100 metres competition?
Luckily the Portugal still have Figo to run Portugal defensive and attacking mission. Thanks to him but it is still does not enough to stop the arrogant Hitler generation squad. If they thinks that they are loss in pride to Italy in the semi final, they are totally wrong. Why? Playing in the their luckiest stadium which never saw Germany defeated there and playing at the home soil with most of the supporter are Germany supporter, it is the most shameful loss for them actually. Thanks for the Germany spin doctor squad to stop the shame by manipulating the situation and facts.
As my conclusion for the Germany vs Portugal match even i does not favour with the Germany team, i think the Germany will beaten Portugal 3-0.
While the match between Forza Italia and Allez Les Bleus which is the final match of World cup 2006, the Italia and French seems equal to have the trophy. Both has defeat the best team in the World Cup. France already beaten Brazil to prove their superiorsity. While the Italy also prove that they are also the best team by defeating the host country, Germany with a decisive win 2-0.
But from my point of view, even France already defeat Brazil, it is still does not prove anything. This is because, Brazil does not show their exact superiorsity. They are not playing in team in fact they are are playing below their own standard. But in the other hand, Italy win over Germany already shown lot of things. Beating the host country at their soil ground is the most impresive thing, furthemore, Germany is not considered as "easy to win over" team. They get full support from their own homeground supporter. Just like what some peoples said "Which team beat the host country will win the trophy".
I'm totally agreed with it. Even Zidane at his top performance, but if you watch the match between France and Portugal match at the semi final, you will noticies that his performances including Viera seems to be start decreasing. Besides that, the Italy for sure want to make revenge on their loss at the previous Euro Championship. With Cannavaro and Buffon even with the absent of Nesta, i'm very sure that thet could stop the magnificient France
And i think that Italy will win the trophy by beating France 2-0 or perhaps 3-0 as my support goe to Italy especially on Gianluigi Buffon and Fabio Cannavaro. Even i know that lots of peoples around the world thinks and predict that France will win this World Cup.
I'm very sure, Italy will win. Forza Italia...............
