Minutes and seconds are ticking away and I have yet to do what I should be doing, my internship projects! Was feeling really lazy lately, wasted time on yumcha-ing (new english word for you) with frenz, surfing net, chatting with frenz, day dreaming, eating, sleeping, bathing, shitting (you and i did that, so dont laugh lol) etc...
I always realized one thing, I can have some really good ideas for many projects of different genres and are able to execute my ideas on my own, but I will start facing problems whenever I work with people. Can't distribute jobs properly, poor management skills, lazy to plan in advance how to workout a plan, and poor tolerance on team members are among my greatest weaknesses when it comes to group work. In fact I told Dr. Goh (my supervisor for internship) that I hope to improve on this weakness of mine, and that was one of the main reason I applied for this internship.
Hopefully I can learn and improve on this weakness over time cos all our work are groupworks that require good team players. I will learn from people beside me, and wish me luck ;)
May the force be with me (Starwars, 198X)! Bleh, as if I needed that :P

Movie Fest?
Was able to catch 2 movies that I anticipated for quite sometimes; Dark Knight and Red Cliff, with the former on Monday and latter on Tuesday. I had to say both movies didn't disappoint me, and I do recommend any movie lovers to watch both, Dark Knight especially if you haven't do so.
There was this interesting quote that I saw from Red Cliff from Zhuge Liang, where he said to Sun ShangXiang, "Unique people are often misunderstood by others". This brings me back to think about social norms and conformity that we learned in Social Psychology, where social norms are "invisible" rules in social interaction, where someone that doesn't follow social norms tend to be ridiculed as abnormal, weird and many other funny tags.
I guess that was pretty sad kind of thought, cos everyone should be unique in their ways, yet most people need to act out of their will (past researches found that most people don't like to comply to social norms if given a choice) in order to gain acceptance and avoid negative feelings such as anxiety, etc...
I guess such perception is kinda sad cos people that try to be themselves are "discourage" to do so. At least I'm one of those few feeling proud not to follow certain social norms which i deemed stupid, but of cos there are also certain norms which could bring benefit to everyone such as conformity to enviromental care, cleaniness programs etc...
What I want to address is that, be proud of who you are and don't be afraid to be yourself in public ;)
And yea, I'm also anticipating Mummy 3 this coming 31st July!

Funny Comic (Part 2)
Continue from previous post...
6. Comparison between past and present Prime Ministers
Dollah refers toBodowiAbdullah Badawi, our current sleeping beauty PM that is considered incompetent and did not manage fulfill his promises to his "rakyat".
7. The current sodomy allegation against Anwar, the de facto leader of PKR.
The ongoing sodomy allegation against Anwar was the re-occurance of what happened 10 years ago when Anwar was charged of the same offence. It was widely speculated (and proved) that Anwar was framed back then, and the mastermind behind it was Mahathir, our previous PM.
8. The same sodomy allegation against Anwar
It was widely believed that UMNO leaders were behind the current sodomy charge against Anwar as a way to prevent him to form a new government or some sort, and you can't blame such speculation when there were so many more issues of great importance wasn't take care of, and instead our government just focus our attention on this case. Speculation was not proven though.
9. The lyingOptimus Prime Minister...
Our PM had made ample of promises in the past but yet didn't manage to fulfill...
Again, credit to the original author and MalaysiaKini. Hope you guys enjoy the comic ;)

Funny Comic (Part 1)
I found these funny comics and think of sharing it out. Basically it portrays the current Malaysia scene. Credits to Mr. Zunar, the original author and artist and MalaysiaKini for hosting it. Ya, I got it from them but at least i give them credit rite? ;)
1.BN robbing our wealth The Rising Cost of Living in Malaysia!
From Left: Samy Velu on toll price (when he's still the Work Minister), Badawi on petrol hiki, Hisamuddin on his Keris thingy.
2. Iron Fist style of ruling on toll hike!
3. Same quote, different way of using it.
Left: Martin Luther King Jr. was the leader of America civil right movement that fought for the rights and freedom of black ppl in America, the quote "I have a dream" was made famous by him in a speech in Washington at year 1963. Right: Badawi sleeping and dreaming instead of doing his job...
4. The GreatWall Jam in KL.
You pay to get caught in traffic jam! One of a kind and out of this world, no wonder tourists are flocking to Malaysia to see such "amazing and mysterious" phenomenon...
5. Bersih Rally on November 2007 in KL.
It basically potrays how the government resolved to use "rough ways" to handle the protest; e.g riot polices, tear gas, etc...
To be continue in part 2...

Internship Project!
I got my internship projects yesterday, only 4 out of 6 that I wanted. Guess I was abit greedy but I thought "the more the better since I'm there to learn and the more I involved, the more I get expose to". Again... guess I was too greedy :(
The 4 jobs were World Famine 30 hours, Corporate Training, Website for students and HELP Psychology Challenge.
a) World Famine 30 hours:
This was my 3rd priority and I got it. I like being part of the organizer in any event and I guess I would like this one. But the bad side of this project is u need to fast for 30 hours! Honestly, I'm not sure if I can do that cos I can have some weird symptoms such as shivering and even running nose when without food for certain period of time! Pretty weird huh lol... I'm not sure the exact job description since we will only be briefed about it on Wednesday.
b) Corporate Training:
This was my 1st priority due to the fact Dr. Goh, my supervisor in this intern stated that we have the chance to follow his team and help out with any corporate training they are giving to clients (our college do offer corporate training services to other companies). Such experience will surely be valuable! Basically this project might required us to help out with gathering and compiling necessary information on any corporate training topic, not sure if we're required to do any other things though.
c) Website for Psychology:
This was my 2nd preference, and Website for Psychology is basically a search engine related website for students not from HELP that are interested in Psychology, and its concept was really very interesting. I guess I'm involved with design or ideas on how to develop this website?
d) HELP Psychology Challenge:
This was my 5th preference, and suprisingly I got it. HELP Psychology challenge is an event by our Psychology department that challenged non-psychology students (secondary school) to write an essay about any psychology topic, and the winner could get a full sponsorship for our Psychology programme in HELP, pretty nice rite? There are various jobs which we're involved in (coordination, marketing, PR, etc) and I have yet to be assign to any job yet.
Projects that I applied but didn't get:
a) Website for Student Activities:
This was also my second preference since it's under the same topic (WEBSITE FOR STUDENTS) together with my other project, Website for Psychology. Kinda disappointed since I think this project is more interesting and I have more to offer for this project compared to the other one. Oh, and I did email and asked whether I can get involved with it or not though lol, so greedy rite?
b) Website for Student Feedback:
This was some kind of self-evaluation website, which I didn't get as well. The concept are more vague and harder to implement, but nonetheless it was an interesting project, I guess.
I guess this would be a nice internship and I didnt regret joining it due to some of its projects are really interesting and comes with some great vision. Hopefully I can contribute something to these projects... ^_^

Back to Melaka!
Actually I was already back in KL by the time I wrote this blog haha, but nonetheless there was some nice moments back there! I went back Melaka last Monday (14th July) around noon time and came back today.
Monday (14 July):-
I was thinking that I should be able to make it in time to see my sister giving birth to her daughter since I was told she would be delivering somewhere this week. But I received a call in the morning and my dad told me that she had already given birth! I was late again nonetheless, but I went back around noon and managed to see both her and her new baby aka my niece ^_^
I'm glad both of them are fine. As a gesture of blessing, Istole took 10 fishes from my friend (he's the boss of a fish shop) and some fish foods as well to be rared in my house, so nice to know some friends who opened their own shops rite hahaha...
Today was also the day I started my intern... as a nanny! I need to take care of my other 1 year old niece that is very naughty and I can tell you that what you studied in child development didn't really proof to be that helpful. Always need to standby 24 hours :(
Tuesday (15 July):-
This was a painful day. I went to a Chinese sensei type of clinic. Suprisingly it was one of the most glamourous clinic I've ever seen; it comes with SPA and massage, cafe and other kind of services O_O I went there to treat my leg that was twisted during my accident last week, and guess what, a doctor "urut" me by pulling and twisting my leg so damn hard that I felt it was breaking! I ended up limping out of the clinic when I walked in without much problem. He also gave me 6 different kind of medicines, talk about treatment... But I indeed felt better now haha
Had a hair cut as a preparation for internship, and guess what? My friends during secondary school said that they never seen me with such short hair before even in school when we yumcha at night! Urgh!
Wednesday (16 July):-
Relax at house the whole day while preparing for 2 exams on Thurs (which is today). It was a mid-term test for both my IT subjects, while fulfilling my nanny duty (except breastfeed of cos...).
Thursday (17 July):-
Went to take exam during noon and luckily it wasn't that hard. I was carrying my luggages together since it's rather near from the exam centre to bus station. Came back to KL around 7+ and my bus was stopped by police on the way home. They went onboard to check for I/C and me being a good citizen did bring mine. A few guys was detained though due to passport problems I guess.
It's always nice to back home as you're back in a warm and nice environment as well as meeting old buddies. But taking care of a child is very very hard task. I really admire how adults can be so patient with kids, imagine they are crying and screaming and yet the adults can soothe and trying to calm the kid down in such a patient manner does touched me alot. So guys, always treat your parents well, you never know the hardship of taking care of you when you're small till you're a parent yourself haha.

Ops, Political Idiots "Leaders" Do It Again!
"Blogs contained nothing but lies that could destroy Malaysia!" are some of the most famous quotes by some of our politicians today. You can read their, ahem stupid comments here and here, where our Culture and Heritage Minister Mohd Shafie stated that Blogs and SMSes can destroy a civilization and Tunku Abdul Aziz, a former special adviser to United Nations secretary-general on ethics commented that "most bloggers are lying and their comments are not professional due to lack of qualification".
I do agree that lies can indeed destroy a nation. I guess taking Malaysia as an example is a safe bet, because we've been living under lies and empty promises for so many years. It's not lies from bloggers mind you, but lies from our incapable politicians. Look at how the growth of Malaysia had stagnant for the past many years, look at how lesser and lesser foreign firms are investing in Malaysia (in fact more and more are shutting down their operations in Malaysia), the failure of Goverment Linked Companies like Proton and look at how More and MORE problems are occuring such as higher living costs, political turnmoil, and yes, more stupid politicians giving stupid comments when they are better and fully qualified to apply the position of clowns in circus or entertainers in zoos.
This makes me wonder, do our politicians get bonuses for making some stupid comments, or do BN actually promote those that gives comments deemed most stupid? Mr. Politician, in case you do not know, Malaysian have this organ called BRAIN, which I guess its something you guys lack of. Most of us can think "properly" and "rationalize" what's right and wrong. People don't simply trust a source because we have this simple skill called "analyzing" (again, I guess that's something you politicians lacked of) to analyze the situation and then choose whether to believe it or not.
In case you guys still can't figure out why people turn to online sources like Malaysia Kini or blogs, let me remind you again (I know I'm so nice to waste 5 minutes of my time reminding you, but hey, we bloggers are nice people rite?). People resolved to online resources to get their information because Mainstream Media is pro-government. In case you don't understand (cos it seems you politicians lack of "understanding"), it basically meant that those medias are siding government and mostly reporting the "great deeds" and "lies" from goverment. Dont believe? Please buy a copy of recycle paper like UTUSAN MELAYU and hope you can get what I mean. That, my friend, is what you called LIE. I have yet to name other sources of media like NST cos I'm too lazy to list all out.
Such unrealiable source of news forces the "Rakyat" as how Pak Lah likes to put, to choose another form of media for reference on everyday happening. Which is why they turn to online sources, cos it's only there the "rakyat" can find some (I didn't put ALL cos there are indeed some extremely bias and untrue news) true news that reflects on the current situation in the country.
In case both Mohd Shafie and Tunku Abdul Aziz failed their history before, one of the most important element that brings a civilization together is "communication", which basically means how information is passed from one source to another. Malaysia lacked of this "communication" for many years and what's the result? Malaysia is getting worse from day to day compared to other countries that was once lacking so far from Malaysia e.g. Korea. Even Vietnam is doing so well now...
But it seems you short sighted policians can only put blames on bloggers or online resources and deemed them as lies as they were written by "unqualified" people. I do wonder what was Tunku Abdul Aziz's meaning of "disqualified"? Does he meant lack of certification; position; or intelligence? If position was what he meant, then sorry dude, as you politicians had shown, one's "qualification can be really low even if they are the leaders of the country, the same goes with intelligence. If he meant certificiation, then tell me how many of those in Parliments had a P.H.D or Masters in certain discipline (even if they do, yet at many time their remarks beared similarity with our furry ancestors with those uncivilized language, with the latest news being the Bung Moktar showing rude gesture, duh) before they give some "professional" comments. And I have not mentioned that 2 of the greatest business brain in modern era, Bill Gates (most people knew who he is, oh I forgotten some politician might not due to their ignorance so I will list it out...) the founder of Microsoft and Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple and the mastermind behind the Ipod are actually college dropouts since Bill Gates did not finished his college and Steve Jobs only managed to complete his first year. So dear sir, please tell me, what do you mean by "disqualified". And instead of trying to improve the situation, you, "qualified" politicians choosed to spend hours to script your speech (or maybe some of your scriptwriters again) and give another stupid opinion.
Or maybe you guys realized the situation in Malaysia is too tensed up now, thus you choose to enlighten our hearts by providing some humours by giving stupid comments. If that's the case, I offer my humblest apology...
p/s: By no mean I'm referring most politicians had the brain size of a pea, but most of these Badawi lackeys are making comments without thinking. There are indeed many politicians with good insights, thus my comments doesn't generalize to these people.

2 days of shopping spree...
Shopping... how long was it since I last did that. Maybe it was like few years ago, but I can't recall clearly haha. To compensate for my lack of activities for these few years, I decided to go on a shopping spree for the past 2 days. Urgh, a spree indeed that burnt a big hole in my pocket...
Went out from 12pm+ on both days, and reached home around 10pm+, who can believed this is the same guy that got hit by a motorcycle 1 week ago and was limping to school during his examination haha. But I guess the "exercise" on my leg served as a "theraphy" session, and miracle happens cos my leg got better and can move easier these few days! Guess using money "does" help to heal your sickness haha...
Went out to 1U with my ex-housemate Qing on Saturday to buy something, and ended up getting myself a pair of new shoes, a bag, a watch, an accessory, a T-shirt and a shirt. I ended up buying more than I expected, but I still have a pouch, 2 jeans and at least 2 more T-shirts on my wishlist. I guess I won't be getting them anytime soon, else really need to sleep on the street liao. Really appreciate her for accompanying me for the whole day cos she was someone that don't window shop or even go out for no reason. Guess my face was big enough for her to comply haha, so I really thx her a lot for her time, energy and advises ;)
Went to Curve, Ikano and 1U (duh, 1U again u said?) with my daughter on Sunday cos she said she wanna shop for something. Didn't really buy anything today, just ate some nice meals which she intro to me haha, and now I knew a few more nice places to dine ;) Glad she got what she wanted, and yea, both of us enjoyed the outing.
It has been so long since I went out for so many hours due to a busy semester and lack of time. It was tiring but it was fun when you're going out with someone close to you. But sales period is indeed tempting, who can resists nice stuff that had its prices slashed 10%-70% rite (even though most had its prices hiked up)?
Wishlist:
2 x jeans
1 x small pouch (can't see anything nice yet)
2 x hand accessories (can't see anything suitable yet)
2 x T-shirts
1 x belt (can't see a nice one yet, or some are too exp)

But sales period is indeed tempting, who can resists nice stuff that had its prices slashed 10%-70% rite (even though most had its prices hiked up)?
Wishlist:
2 x jeans
1 x small pouch (can't see anything nice yet)
2 x hand accessories (can't see anything suitable yet)
2 x T-shirts
1 x belt (can't see a nice one yet, or some are too exp)

End of another semester
Finally completed another semester after taking my last exam yesterday. Went to celebrate with friends till 10+ before reaching home, and of all sudden, a question pop out in my mind.
"What am I gonna do tomorrow (which is today)?"
Suddenly like nothing to do after a busy semester, and I can't help but to think what I can do haha. Got a disappointing news today which is my internship isn't starting next Monday as I anticipated, but the Monday after (21st July) next week, which makes my sudden holiday even longer, even dunno what to do and think even more!
Already planned to go shopping tomorrow and have some reunion with some "long time no see" friend on Sunday before going back Melaka on Monday in order to take the other 2 exams (duh) for my IT course. Don't ask me why I don't want to study when I'm so free, it's because the subject is still manageable without studying I guess, and I'm lazy to study :P
Anyway, wishing all my friends happy holiday and see you guys and gals in September! Don't forget my souvenirs kekeke...

When will our politicians ever learn?
Or should I ask, will they ever learn to think before they speak? Our PM, gave this line of words
"All the slander and lies spread through the blogs and YouTube do not contribute to ease and confidence in the people," and
"These attempts had blemished the principles of the Rukunegara such as'Loyalty to King and Country, Upholding the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and Good Behaviour and Morality."
Slanders? Lies? I was wondering when can our government even stop putting the blames on this and that and instead work on what should be done. As if the political turnmoil is not in deep shit enough, here we have another joker, our PM, making such an "incredible" statement. No wonder some of my oversea friends said we are slowly becoming the laughing stock of the world, or maybe should I say our goverment and PM is becoming the laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
FFS, it does makes me wonder whether all he did was to keep sleeping and slumbering and only know how to read these idiotic scripts without understanding the REAL meaning behind those contents. I suggest he changed a scriptwriter, at least someone with slightly higher intelligence than those mentally disable people (by no mean I'm discriminating mentally disable people, just referring that the intelligence level of his current scriptwriter is on par with them, no offence)...
All he did was talk, talk and more talk. He's been talking non-stop since the last 2 elections, but where is the action? Where's the promise of more open government, less corruption, higher efficiency, a more open jurisdacy system and many more? All I can see is more open corruption, more name-calling, more raising of keris and more racial incidents, which these political idiots are doing for their own sake! I'm extremely dismay by his inability to focus on the real issue. Where is he when all the political bickering is happening? Did he do anything to help the current economy (I guess he did, by increasing the living cost of everyone)? Sleeping, and dreaming maybe?
We do not turn to blogging or online resources if not because of the extremely bias and pro government mainstream media (MSM) coverage. Have you ever think of that? Blaming of various external attribution is not what a leader should do. In our psychology course, only kids lower than 12 years old keep using denial as a defence mechanism, and it was stated that any age older than 12 years using it means that kid basically had difficulty coping with later life.
I guess this is the disease with our politicians today. They had been denying alot of things for the past 20 years by giving stupid excuses. Our Home Minister can said he didn't know whether the private investigator Bala "was" in Malaysia or not when he can easily access to immigration record. Then we had this stupid Umno Putera leader insulting god by asking Anwar and Saiful swearing by the Quran. For the love of god, any stupid people would know either one of them is lying. So wasn't it an insult to the Quran if both sweared and said they are stating nothing but fact?
I was wondering, when will we ever had an efficient government, a goverment that wants to bring changes to the lifes of 26m population in Malaysia. Why Singapore is as it is today? Because Lee Kuan Yew wanted to bring changes to the country, and he did. I never believe in the bullshit of "not able", but rather do our leaders have the "will and want" to bring changes to Malaysia instead of feeding their own pocket and egos.
Malaysia is already in a very pathetic state. The country once known as "Five tigers in Asia" together with Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore, but look where are we now, and where are these other 4 countries. Our overall economy and GDP per capita is even more pathetic than Singapore, a country that is even smaller than Selangor.
I for one, as a Malaysian definately feel ashamed, not because I wasn't loyal to my country. In fact I believed most bloggers are loyal to Malaysia, and this is why we took the effort to make a change, hoping our little effort to alert the rest of Malaysian to know the current dire situation of the country and to strive for a change.
A good leader is one whose behavior mirrors theirs words, for we or even your other political lackeys won't respect leaders that say one thing but do another. In such times of controversial and challenge, we need a leader that can stand up and take the challenges instead of reading some useless scripts.
All we hope is a better tomorrow for everyone, and we hope you can deliver all the promises you made all these years. And should the government failed, please be a man and learn to accept it was your mistake and take the blame, instead of throwing the ball of blames to bloggers and other people.
Remember sir, for Malaysian are watching, and they are not blind or stupid as how some of you think they are.

Thanks for everyone's concern.
I can't help but to express my thanks to most of my friends. I met with a minor motor accident yesterday and was lucky to escape with some minor injuries, and the reaction from those I knew make me feel really touched.
Some of you took the trouble to drive me to dinner around 10+ yesterday night when you know I haven't take my dinner.
Some of you purposely went to buy some medicine for me during night time.
Some of you called and smsed me when you know I met with an accident, offering kind and caring words.
Some of you gave a number of advises even though I was supposed to know better (due to me being older :( ), which shows your concern for me.
Some of you purposely cooked lunch for me and even gave me medicine.
Some of you purposely call me during my exam and ask me for dinner tonight, fearing I had difficulties walking to food stalls.
Ya, you read it right, someone called me during my exam, 3 times and it was from someone I hardly contact. She gave a total a 10 miss calls when I looked back, but the funny thing is Dr. Hera approached me and confiscated my HP and passed to Dr. Anasuya. I tried to approach her to get my phone back, Dr. Hera and Farah was willing to give me back the phone but Dr. Anasuya acted otherwise. She asked me to find Dr. Goh (he's our head of department) which I did thx to a friend who drive me there.
Upon there, I saw the fat butt of Anasuya walking towards our department of psychology, and me, being the limping one walked slower than her even though she was triple my size (ok, its only double). I saw her passing the phone to Dr. Goh and earsdrop Dr. Goh saying its ok so long the student doesn't cheat. Feeling relieved, I approached Dr. Goh and to suprise, Anasuya laughed the hell out of me when she saw me. I was like OMG you fatass, is there such a need when there are so many students outside her room waiting to collect their assignments. If you've been to her counselling classes, you will know how terrible her laughter is...
I felt like Winnie for a moment, as of all sudden eyes grow behind my back and I can "see" many people staring at me like I'm some sort of American Idol winner grabbing all the attention. Luckily I wasn't some sort of low self-esteem guy and don't give a damn about public opinion haha, cos my sole purpose is to get back my phone.
I went into Dr. Goh's room and he was so kind and asked how was the exam and also about my condition when he noticed me limping. I can't use any words to express my admiration on this man, I hardly idolize anyone but I have to say I really admire him alot. After a 10 minutes chat on other issues, he passed me back my phone and I got a "HAPPY ENDING" (CK, 2008). HAHAHA...

The Malaysia political scene...
“Drama”. That's the only word fit to describe our current local political scene I wonder why households paid nearly RM100 a month (or more) to Astro to watch drama when the best is so much cheaper in local newspaper or internet. This drama and its two main actors, Anwar and Najib certainly contained more action than Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s Forbidden Kingdom, funnier than Stephen Chow’s Kungfu and Shaolin Soccer (CJ7 isn’t worth mentioning, sorry), and is more passionate than Tony Leung’s Lust, Caution.
Why it has more action? It’s because a new twist in the political scene emerged every few days and its plot is definitely very unpredictable. Why it is funny? OMG you must have some mental problem if you ask this. Don’t you think it’s funny to see politicians of great stature (and supposing smart, or maybe not) falling into a simple trap that normal “rakyat” like you and I can? Passionate wise, I can only say, hate exists due to love. Figure out yourself (don’t ask me cos I only make it up).
First there was the claim by Malaysia Today’s author, Raja Petra about Najib’s wife involvement in Atlantuya’s case. Then, there was this sodomy charge against Anwar, the same thing that causes him to go to jail back in 1998. Then a private investigator appears out of nowhere to present a statutory declaration about Najib’s involvement in Atlantuya’s case, only to retract it a day later.
I don’t plan to touch on the whole Atlantuya’s case due to the cloudy nature of the case. But Najib certainly isn’t doing himself any good by keeping silence so far instead of making a defamation charge of some sort. Maybe there was indeed a certain connection…
For the sodomy case, most people might think Anwar could be at the losing side but I felt it was a blessing for him instead. Why? Let me list out the reasons-
a) It must be handled with great care, a repeat of 1998’s disgraceful way will add more shit into the current BN bandwagon.
b) The public is sympathize with Anwar, creating a more ideal scene for him to pull people to his side.
c) Foreign country like US is already condemning our government in handling the case, what’s better to have some strong friends to offer social support rite?
d) You can’t proof a sodomy case unless there was physical evidence, let’s say sperm in Saiful’s butt… Semen on mattress in the “crime scene” could only proof a sexual activity took place, but not Anwar sodomizing Saiful.
e) Anwar claimed he had alibi
f) Logically thinking, how can a 60+ year old man outpowered a 20+ young man. I seriously can’t find a logic way to explain this. I guess not even Einstein could do it.
The only way to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt is to find the correct semen sample in Saiful’s violated body part or a Chua Soi Lek-type video which I doubt its existance. Or maybe BN can employ and do a CSI thingy and pray it does work miracle.
Back to the sodomy case, the funny twist was how Saiful, an enemy from Pakatan Rakyat's camp can approach Najib for scholarship as well as reporting a sodomy case.
Sorry Mr. Najib
I had to apologize to the fact that I thought all politicians are self-centered and only work towards their own interest. Mr. Najib, our DPM proved me wrong by providing “human services” to youth of the current media scene, Mr. Saiful, the “victim” of Anwar’s current sodomy charges.
I’m sorry Najib, because I didn’t know Malaysia had such a caring leader in you. Instead of contributing to the development of Malaysia (which is calling for dire help for development), you instead put effort in the most basic of all contribution, to attend to the need of an individual. You open your arms and welcome this nobody and have the time to “listen” and the heart to feel “empathy” (I haven’t even talk about you helping him on his loan matter. What a minister you are! I have some problems of my own lately, isit ok if I come to find you as well?
I’m sorry Najib, because I didn’t know Malaysia had such a caring leader in you. Who cares about Michael Chong of MCA since we can come to you straight rite? With your power and position, I believed things can be solved even faster, making the overall process more efficient. But I guess you will be busier lately since you are so diligent in attending to your “rakyat’s” call, unlike your boss which only has all the talk but no action.
I’m sorry Najib, because I didn’t know Malaysia had such a caring leader in you. I didn’t know DPM had the time now to even counsel sodomy victim. But I believed you “specially” took your time off because an individual matter can’t be overlook, or maybe you’re setting a good example for the rest of the more inefficient guys to follow. What a leader. I hope you also open your door to ah long victims, snatch thief victim as well as victims as hit and run like my poor self here.
I’m sorry Najib, because I didn’t know Malaysia had such a caring leader in you. I believed you met Saiful because he was traumatized by the event as the offender was none other than Anwar. But Mr. Najib, I was also traumatized by lots of events. I was traumatized by the recent hike of living costs, was traumatized by not enough money and was traumatized by my school work and exam. Can you spare some of your precious moment for me?
I’m sorry Najib, because I didn’t know Malaysia had such a caring leader in you. You’re helping a dropout student like Saiful to secure loan even though he got a very low CGPA (I consider mine low, but he’s much lower). I wonder what help can u help me since I need to secure study loan as well.
Last but not least, I can't help but to admire Anwar. I suspect he was the mastermind behind his own sodomy charge as well as the statuotary declaration by a private investigator on Najib's involvement in Atlantuya's case. If it was as how I suspected, I must admit the execution of such plan is near flawless. Please don't get me wrong, I for one don't agree using the political scene as well as the welfare of all Malaysian for personal gain. But I can't help to feel relieve cos finally there was someone smart (unlike the many in our government that never think before they talk) is threatening our government, and even though it was all words till now, yet the hope of bringing a new future to Malaysia could lie on this man.
Who knows, for you and I can't predict the future. As such, isn't better to enjoy the drama instead?

Female Terminology: Learn it...remember it guys!
I've come up (and also copied) some "USEFUL" terms used by females *no offence girls, don't start beating me up later* =P
Female Terminology:
FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you
need to shut up.
FIVE MINUTES (not Jay Chou's "please give 2 more min)
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five
minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before
helping around the house.
NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something," and you should be
on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"
GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it or... dunno, depends on who the girl is, and the consequences could be real bad :o
LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often
misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and
wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over
"Nothing"
THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man.
"That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding
how and when you will pay for your mistake.
THANKS
If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're
welcome.
Oh, and before we forget ...
"WHATEVER"
...it's a woman's way of saying F*CK YOU
Sorry for the 18sx thingy. Remember it well guys, just in case some girls use these words on you ;)

For result or learning?
Had a yumcha (drink tea, chatting, kepoh~ing or whatever you want to call) with some secondary classmates earlier (weird rite cos i'm not studying when exam is so near)and we chat alot about of stuff from politics to work, and finally my studies... Most of them seemed suprised when I told them i got a shit load of assignment for completion in a short period of time.
CSK: wah sot meh, got so many meh
Boy: KDU also not that many wor, quite relax except 3rd year thesis
Me : yalo, who says study is easy lol, hardly sleep for few weeks liao
Dai: surely want to do a gd work le, cant lose out to younger ppl rite haha
This chat reminds me of it. Indeed, I can't lose. In fact I hate losing as I stated before in this blog. I always hope to be better than others in those things I participated in; camps, tournaments, clubs and societies or even casual activities or hobbies. But that was at least 3-4 years ago liao. I guess my frenz's heuristic still reminds them of my old self haha.
These days I still receive such comment, but the fact I try to do a good work is not to get result or to be better than others, but rather to improve myself and my work as a way to test how far I can go and improve again. It's more like a continuous learning or improving a work.
Some might say its around the same or even its the same thing, which I beg to differ. Doing something to win is more result oriented, meaning someone would emphasize on the outcome of the result more. On the other hand, continuous improving one's work is more towards the process of doing the job e.g. which part can be improved somemore, is this part good enough etc...
I believed that the latter method or attitude is more important, too many people over emphasize on results which makes them forget something; the process of generating the result! A poor process might almost don't guarantee any result, and even if you had a one hit wonder, you might not be able to be consistent in future work.
Emphasizing on the process allows a person to continue improving their work, for present and future, which helps to retain a good level of consistency as well as continuous improvement due to adaptive learning. This is exactly what I'm trying to do now haha. Nowadays it's more towards competiting with myself rather than others, cos I'm competiting to try to fulfill my own expectation of a good work (usually fail of cos haha which explains why I'm studying now :( ) and learn from it instead of comparing my work with others.
How can we win others if we can't conquer ourselves rite?

Life after assignment...
I guess it has been quite sometime since i felt so relax. Finally submitted the assgn with my friend today, both of us were very happy cos assgn life had finally ended, at least for now and another 2-3 months haha...
We went to 1U to enjoy and we went to Seoul Garden for dinner. I was quite reluctant at first cos the dinner price is nearly double of lunch price for students, and the worst part is i promised to treat her :(
But a promise is a promise so yea, we went in, paid and take a seat. I didn't have that good impression at the place at first, cos the food variety is not as what I expected, they don't have much variety for a buffet restaurant. But what impressed me most was their good service, they even offer to inform you that they will change the bbq plate, hotplate or whatever you want to call it when it became unusable as in... erm, how should I put it... oh well imagine yourself cos I m too tired to think :P
I saw an "ice kacang" kind of machine and decided to play with it, I know I can be a kid at times but who doesn't rite haha... so I made my own ice kacang which taste real bad due to their brown sugar not sweet and sticky enough. Anyway both of us enjoyed the dinner as the environment is quite nice, especially there are only the both of us in the first hour haha. We were inside for a total of 2 1/2 hours, munching foods while chatting along.
Both of us went to window shop awhile since I need to get some shirts and pants for my intern as they said I need to wear formal attire for work, urgh... I smell burnt in my pocket already. Saw some quite decent shirts and informal wear, but not in the mood to buy or shop cos too tired so we just went off and wonder around 1U before heading back around 10+.
Kind of exhausted, but finally today I can get a real good sleep, without waking up in the midnight to cont my assgn O_O
Didn't feel especially esctatic cos exam is just around the corner (next Mon) but who cares. I will at least relax till Thurs before I start my revision haha, which I believe should be sufficient, hopefully...

I can't understand...
I was extremely pissed yesterday cos one of my hardwork assgn was copied directly by one idiot. I don't mind if it was some of my previous assgn, but this particular one was intended for today's submission, and yea, he basically got my work of 3 days and copied it in less than 5 minutes.
The funny thing is he can still showed me his assgn proudly as reference, and ya, he's a MBA student (MBA = Master in Butohness and Assholeness)... which makes me to wonder why do earth even have enough space for people like him? Dont you think his existance will only waste the earth's resources and oxygen?
And thanks to him, I spent my whole day and night to "redo" the whole thing by changing all words (yes, word by word!) and adding some other key points. Some might say I'm silly, but I do not want this particular assgn to even have the risk of getting caught for copying as it was the last work before graduating from the course. Nor do I want to confront him cos his points are contradicting with his own work.
Oh well, I guess I'm still immatured in some sense for getting so pissed off by this problem, but as what Winnie said, hopefully he will go to opposite of Heaven later!
