Organisations..

Politics:
Hmm...MIC elections are coming up..! yay! more entertainment!
I wonder....how long should a person stay in office...Are there any sociology students out there who studied on the effect of duration with a minister in ONE post for decades?


Organisation:
I just read an email, with the subject of: "Emergency Appeal For Palestine" from my Msian Student Society in Cardiff who forwarded it to all members seeking for donations to the Palestinians. This indeed has raised my eyebrows as to what the purpose of a student society should be. Indeed, we should help out those in need. However, there are some things which I believe need to be ironed out and priortised. One thing about donations is that you'll never actually know if the money is put towards the proper channels, especially in a country where havoc is a pandemic.

Though I am no longer in the committee of the society, I am still a member who is truly concerned and have a deep-seated sense of belonging for the society...per se. I know that there is a lot more that this society should be doing. But more so, I am concerned of how it is leading it's members. Is the information given out trustworthy, reliable and commitable?
Should this be a priority?
Or would it merely be a decoration to the portfolio?

(i quote 2 excerpts from the email:
"This is the time for us to show our apprehension towards this global humanitarian issue."
"Do give your support as a caring and kind-hearted Malaysians" )

Words such as these can sometimes give a sense of guilt to those who decide not to help out. Coersion, persuasion and the play of words. they could be misleading...

Visions should not go forth without sight and clarity.

just for the statistics...

Misyar marriage: it's silly how it should even be considered for approval by the courts. Even so, would any woman want to have such a 'marriage'? Yeah, even if it does happen in Arab states and rich women practise such a thing (a reporter should find out more about this...), that doesn't mean that it is right and applicable for our country! silly fellas..silly and sick. And why has it been proposed? - to reduce the number of unmarried women in the country?!??! HELLO! wake up!
Why are we trying to reduce the number of unmarried women in the country in the first place?!
Are these people playing money politics?
Are they receiving any 'rasuah'?
Are they paedophiles?
Are they the ones spending millions of ringgit to build metal trees?

Ever wondered if these women go by choice? - meaning, they don't even want to get married in the first place; or is it because there are no suitable men for them? Either way, or the tens of other reasons, THEY WOULD STILL NOT GET MARRIED!

....misyar marriage..just for the statistics...*sheesh*!

HIGHLIGHT:
As a matter of fact, I see the male community being exploited here. They are getting into a marriage just for sex...and why? hehe, because the women want sex.
So, "hey dude, i need sex, marry me. We'll divorce when i get tired of you...hmm..or YOU of ME.."

I wonder if there are any guys who would oppose this...and announce it out loud.

To those guys who agree with this mis-(yar) marriage:
Guys, stop being gigolos (aka male prostitute)...

Justice is never just...

One very good example why I never chose law (despite some seeing me there) and why I think justice is never just.

I am not critisizing any of my law-reading friends..i have a few good friends who are becoming lawyers! haha..but well, this is a personal opinion..the opinion that i think that the law and everything evolving around it is unscrupulous:

Court of Appeal judge Justice Gopal Sri Ram criticised

- one cannot right something wrong in the law
- one cannot stand up for true justice (if that ever exists in the judiciary syst)
- one is supressed and dictated by laws, despite being on the just side

(sadly, i cannot elaborate further as i have my exams..)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
oh, and another link i would like to put here which is unrelated to the entree topic today, but i find it outrageosly DUMB..actually, even DUMB is an understatement:

(there is SO MUCH scorn in me that i am simply speechless that such idiotic creatures like this undeserving professor, or MAN for that matter, even exists!) - all spits happening in China should be directed at him.

a university professor of ISLAMIC ACADEMIC STUDIES having some 'brilliant' idea for divorcees. - idea my FOOT-lah!

Dive

Pulau Layang-Layang
- read the statistics given in the last 4 sentences of the article...

the beauty of our country, exploited by foreigners, unaffordable for the 'rakyat' to enjoy..what a shame.

Despite these locations being in MALAYSIA itself, the prices/charges for diving and stays at the resorts are being converted from USD to MYR...not the other way round. Good in a sense perhaps as a good income for the country..but tragic as some don't differentiate the prices for locals.

sigh..even the managers (Layang-layang has a famous one) and locals who run these places are in favour of foreigners rather than locals...

*shrugs*

So dark the con of Man...

Ever wondered what it might have been with all the IFs which crossed your mind?

The sudden absence of a once closely knit aspect/factor/person/thing..

which/whom been very significant in life thus far...

the sharing of joys,
the pillow at times of disappointment,
the pillar of strength, of support;
the shield which protects,
the shoulder to cry upon at times of sadness,
the endless encouragement,
of multitudes of motivation..
the voice which never fails to carve a smile,
or give ganglions of giggles,
the spontaneous acts and surprises which simply brightens up any gloomy battered day

pondering on what went wrong..or what didn't go right...

that presence and effect which once held prime shall always have a place forever etched in this strong yet vulnerable heart of mine...thank you for the appearance in this short life cycle..

Considerably...lucky?

there are 2+1 hot guys who stay opposite my flat and drop by rather frequently...

in my opinion -- guy 1 looks like a younger, cuter version of Prince William; guy 2 looking like robbie williams - cool, bad boy image with really intense looking eyes further sharpened by his eyebrows; guy 3 who's friendly and a really nice mommy's boy..

guy 4 & 5 rarely appear...one is a medic - quite obviously why, the other..hrmm..can't rmbr.

don't know why i am blogging about this though...mebbe cuz i just saw two of them playing football at the small area from my window...with guy 2 shirtless! *pant*pant* HAHAHA!

A Walk to Remember~

One paper down...literally...
SIX more to go~!

but today was good. i had a nice time with friends...they're such a lovely bunch...It was quite a rubbish day - weather wise...raining thru'out with some glimpse of sunshine occasionally. I went to the exam hall with my flatmate in a friend's car...then hung out at another friend's room before we headed to the exam hall.

After sitting the paper - which i do not wish to comment about - we went back to the friend's place...to have tea and toast. haha! it was good...there were rainbows too..there was a spectacular one being bright and all..ah, the beauty of mother nature. Simple things in life that makes the heart dance gracefully with glee..

then, we went to tesco extra...i didn't had anything to buy really..but i just followed along. it rained heavily after that..so instead of our (me flatmate and me) initial plans to take a walk back, we hopped into the car..

Yet, at the end of the day, aMy still wanted to go for a walk. So, we went to Bute park for a lovely, albeit WET, walk. I was drop dead tired...but I thought I could do a nice stroll with good company. Now, I'm even dead-er tired..but nonetheless, 'twas all worthwhile...(i definitely cannot do long jumps! *splish splash!!*)

Well, what can I say but I'm feeling really blessed..lucky...thankful..u name it.
Now, I just need one more thing to happen to wrap up this wonderful and lovely day...*winkz*

Primary MB

Prof. Benjamin, Mr. Mills, Dr. Winty, Dr. Savage, Dr. Berube, Dr. Woodgate, Mr. G Williams, Dr. Newman, Dr. TJ Allen...(and others)

i am dead meat....(bak kua...)

A photo blog: Sweetest memories~

I absolutely ADORE and LOVE this family.....it brings a tear to my eye thinking of the wonderful time i had with them...always does whenever i see them too. Thanks As...from the deepest deepest place in my heart.



















~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was another a marvellous experience...i can't thank you enough...

BeCauSe oF YoU..(just a song i'm listening now)

Primary MB...starts just a day away....and here i am sitting on my desk, my work station...I once read at a friend's message: the bus station is where the bus stops...the train station is where the train stops...so, where does that put my work station?

Well, it can also START from those mentioned places..but for my case...the bus simply broke down at the station...

eeee..i'm very moody now..for the whole day, NOISE has been consecutively played ..from one block to the other, one room to the other at my uni residence. I couldn't sleep...neither could i study. To close my window and muffle the sounds only resulted in making the room stuffy...an antagonist!

Heaven hath no bliss for a woman lost of love~

Crushes, puppy love, infatuations, admirations, love at first sight...the game of cat and mouse....and later on, the mouse might mutate into a dog...then it's the game of the cat and the dog...

If you like somebody;
Would you tell the person right in their face?....

Will you play hard to get...when you actually do like that person?

Will you be determined to pursue the chase?

Are you serious in the relationship?

Are you thinking on the long-term aspect?...or just short-term?

Will you weight out the pros and cons?...or are you going to accept the person whole-ly?

How insecure are you going to feel?


Nothing beats true love...

....I LOVE YOU.....


Happy Mother's Day

=D

Hell hath no fury for a woman scorned...

It takes a lot to control rage and anger, and i do not think that supressing them is the best way to deal with it.

There are some things which are simply out of my control and sadly, there is nothing i can do about it..not as of yet. In all due respect for all the wise, capable and dedicated teachers, i cannot fathom why are there still teachers who are simply incapable of performing a basic human action. To err is human? Next time when you get a misdiagnosis, accept that the doctor is human as well! But then again, some things are simply way to SIMPLE to make a mistake. it's like spelling your name wrongly!..and the fact that you are already 30+ yrs old!

Which..leads me to the actual body of this blog.

A teacher gave two of her students a physics/science project to work on for a competition. Despite the students initially feeling not up to doing it, they still did it...due to interest. The mid-year exam was just round the corner (and i know for those uni students out there, you might shrug this off as, "oh, it's just mid-year" - but exams are still exams, and it is your success and achievements in secondary school that have brought some of you to where you are now...). So, instead of focusing on their studies, these two students worked on the project. they spent hours putting their ideas to paper and then to the material. they searched for ideas, being creative and innovative...

Come the day of the competition, they did not win. Now, this is no big deal...but..what made me use this blog title is...they weren't even in the running for it! why? thanks to the *censored* teacher who gave them the wrong rules and regulation and criteria for the project. The judges made the decision solely on ONE criterion whereas the students had worked on OVERALL criteria.

Well then, what can i say...i know that the teacher will not feel any guilt because his/her actions have already implied that he/she don't really give a damn..

Imagine crushing the hopes of budding talents...of potential achievers....s**king up their time like a leech and drop off leaving the wound to bleed... To have competed and lost is acceptable. But not this case. How can the teacher have such negligence as to not find out the rules of the game and lead his/her students astray? besides the fact that little support was given.

To the students, yes, they might have learnt a lot throughout the process of working on the project...but it all boils down to the ambition that drove their spirits high - it is a competition, a locus to COMPETE.

*GiggLes*

A few posts ago, I mentioned that I will put up "oops" photos of friends..
Well, I've decided to go kind and just put up photos - Oops or no oOps. =P

so..membuka tirai buat kali pertama...the debut for the photo blog~~~SANTA!!!!!

Y'know..i've always wondered what it's like to do stuff like that - dressing up as santa and going around in public..hehe, so santy, next time around..if there is a job for santarina..call me up k~ *nyehehehe*
-winKs-

i guess no one except for santa is able to guess who santy is unless he reveals himself..hee-hee~ *bLek*

THe WinDoW to the SouL

It is said that the window to one's soul is through the eye...

There might be some truth to it as a stare longer than normal is a sign that a message is being conveyed...it could be love, hatred, a flirt, being cheeky..or simply, there is something in your eye~!


this post is gonna be up for two days...

see if you can see my soul~ and hopefully, i can reciprocate that.

night talk

i miss heart-to-heart conversations where it last right thru the night......

i miss lying down on my friend's bed and chatting....

i miss laughing like nobodie's business and where at times (ok, MOST of the time) people will turn their heads...and the ppl beside me will be shy. haha

i miss merajuking for no reason...

i miss pouting and sulking to get attention..or just for the fun of it...

i miss writing long emails to person/people close to me

i miss telling my friend every single detail that happened everyday

i miss a good long online chat

btw, have you ever seen the insides of a girl's toilet? hmm..here is one very pretty public one..*winkz*

Be mY SpRiNg....

Thanks Mr Cameraman...for making me look OKAY in 3 photos....out of..TWENTY! *_*

Me feeling like this:

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet

Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

I'm a bitch, I'm a loverI'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way ...

A CLaSs on OuR OwN~ =)

This entree is dedicated to the Class of 2002 ~ 5B.. It was nice to chat again with my secondary school friend whom I have not kept in touch with for quite a number of years.. Indeed, there was an overwhelming nostalgia..but a more prominent feeling was of pride for my fellow friends who, together, shared 5 years of joy, sadness, disappointment, happiness, tension, frustration, jokes, laughters, agitation...and how can we not forget..the tens of teachers who crossed paths with us..literally! haha!

It brings me great joy to see my classmates successful in their very own way. Coming from a small town, and from a school not many have heard before and a school which is not comparable to those "reputable" schools, it gives me greater joy to see where all of us are now...

4 budding doctors..(B, CSK, S, SL)..[& NH from primary school~!]
MANY engineers - chemical, electrical and electronics..(CL, M, D,LCY, J, etc)
Law (B)
IT & graphic designing..(LKL,S,A etc)
Architectural science (P)
Biotech..(S)
Bioscience..(Y,L,LF)
Aviation (already a Pilot now!-A)
Veterinary (Z)
Accountancy (A, etc)
Business/Economics (SK)
Music Tech (S- naturally, since this guy has already showed prominence in this field since primary school!)

Paths have been paved..someday, hopefully, we'll meet up again at a certain point.
