Good and Bad

Though I have hold on to the Tao teachings since the day I know this world, I never know it has been revealed earlier than I know.

But, I am not disappointed though.

I realise many teachings of it, I have been that way.

By the way of Tao, the way of life.
















In Tao, right is not always right and so the otherwise.

This because right and wrong in Tao’s mind is the same. It applies to any pairs of opposite.

Take GOOD AND BAD to be an example.

What is GOOD? It’s the opposite of BAD.

Exactly. And BAD is the opposite of GOOD.

With GOOD, only we understand about BAD. So, one has give meaning to one another.

That is what Tao mean by GOOD and BAD is the same.

Therefore, Tao don’t believe in doing any CHANGE especially in human mind.

It is called ‘wu wei’ that I have once against it.

Let us see…
This because when we teach our child NOT TO STEAL..There’s where they learn about STEALING.

This is because when we teach the adults about ROAD RULES..then they BREAK RULES more
Hence GOOD BAD..EVIL ANGEL are all the same.

Introducing one is as introducing another, the opposite.

Therefore,, it’s impossible for moral correctness in Tao.

Hence, what can only control human mind is the Tao, the way of life.

Therefore, nothing can change it other than Tao himself.

But where can we find Tao?

It’s not a scripture or even a holy text. It’s just Tao.

No wonder I have live together with Tao until now though I have known "non-Tao" more than Tao.

It's because when I learn the "non-Tao", I realise what is Tao actually.

Lame..Yea, that is how lame a teaching can be.

Yet Tao never stops. Why?
Because it isn't trying to accomplish anything.

I am here to win, you know what to do?

Finally, IUC ended in its usual norm and convention while preserving its tradition as usual years.

I was so irresponsible that I can be there only for at least 6 trainings out of the many zillions they have.

Well, so I guess their achievement of success belongs to the seniors with the respective leaders and members especially.


-Only those who look far and high shall meet success-








They have trained so hard that they want to win so much. Looking on them are exactly looking back my older days.

A few sayings during the competition have caught my mind and make me think further.

Samuel says: Don’t play your mind games with me. I have known you for more than 3 years.
Haha..mind games? Yes, he is right.

Mind games are all about convincing, motivating, framing thoughts and instilling feelings.

With respect, you gain respect. With care, you gain care. With love, you gain love.



-Mind Games-








Bhavesh says: I hear you saying the same thing for more than 3 times.
Haha.. well not much comment. But he is right again.

It’s not lacking of idea. But facts have to be consistent that always revolve around the same circle of thoughts.

I am glad and proud of the fellow members and leaders. Hopefully, all of us shall continue to uphold the spirit and struggle till the very last drop of tears.




-Only those who are strong shall rise to the top-









“Even the boy who walked beside me as just an observer doing nothing have let me witness him achieve excellently now, I wonder what else I want.”





This place have leave me with ample of sweet bitter memories..Hence, I am not afraid to say that my heart still not completely dismiss from this Unit.


-From learners to leaders-









But as time passes by, I have to admit my end is near.. And therefore, I shall kuai kuai be the ex-committee in the future competitions.

-Just don’t let this glory diminish and faded away-

Returning and Leaving

Time really flies..my settlement on this peaceful land is going to end soon..

Of course I am returning again for the next holidays, but surely I am going to miss here, at least for now.

I am surely going to miss the kenduri(s) for khatan sunat (circumcision for the Muslim children when they attain puberty) or even the akad nikah (marridge).

I counted. I attended at least 5 kenduri(s) of many events..imagine how much I had 'top up' to my body weight..haih =.=

















































I wil miss the live performance using the gendangs, gong, seruling and kompang.
















The cheerful and closely-bonded ties between relatives and family members in the wedding
























My uncle challenge me the Alor Setar "so called" famous Laksa with Penang Asam Laksa..haha which laksa you think will win leh? Obviously Penang la..but good try to the Kedah version
























haha..round-about in the town reminds me a lot of Shah Alam..tis wan wif Rukun Negara symbol..there is another smaller wan i think in front..with another 1 haha many la













With the hot weather, I am extremely grateful to get free coconuts just outside my grandfather's house..but you have to pluck it ourself la..worth the sweat we drop

I finish 4 young and fresh coconuts..skip lunch for that



























This can be a routine as well, boring yet fun!!

Catching peacock fish from the long strech of river along the valley,
Striding down the road in the evening feeling the breeze passing through you,
Go for a basketball game with some kampung children,
Curi some telur ayam...ssshhhshhhshh don't tell anyone leh
Go for a roti canai with cousins in the late night.
Hike Gunung Jerai and be satisfied at the PEAK!! (never try before yet) haha halfway still


There's many many more stuff I miss to do here...but to keep the best for the last will be:

The green loving scenery that will welcome you every morning and say goodbye to you when the sun set every evening.



























Say Hi to Penang again...and see what is going to be for Inter Unit Competition..
Pray hARD

Rich and Poor

Today, I walked alone down the road of an old village just around my grandparent's hometown.

My cousins wanted to follow. But I just want to be alone.

Most of the time, if I walked with them, I just cannot concentrate with what is surrounding me. Accompanying them instead.

I am glad that I get the scene all by my own today.

Firstly, I saw 1 old Malay guy clearing the bushes around his house. He is a tomb maker (I wonder if that's what you called them).

He talk with some Kedah Malay Slang. I understood. I replied with a Hi, I smile and I walk pass him.

Then, I saw a few Malay childrens playing badminton. They were shouting something. If I am not mistaken, they should be cheering "Lee Chong Wei".

After that, on my left and right, I saw luxurious houses on my left and right.

These structures were never erected when I came here maybe about 4 years ago.

Things have changed.

I cleared my steps moving on and think...

Are they poor before and now they are rich?
What are poor and what are rich?
Why are we poor and why are we rich?

Hmm...questions by questions struck my head causing greater migraine...especially in this poor little curious boy like me..

Well, poor is a state of poverty..it is just a measure of property.
Rich is a state of luxury..owning many assets and rights and the vice versa.

Well, so what if there are no poors 1 day?

Then, it will be the end of the world!!!

Why??

Because when 1 day everyone think they are rich enough, nobody will compete to be richer, hence no development in economic growth, a nation will diminish its overall performance, and a civilisation shall collapse!!!

Maybe this is a slippery slope ( a fallacy I learn in my critical thinking lesson)..

But I let my imagination continue swaying out from reality...

A country can only prosperous as long there are poors..

As long the poors work hard to be rich, then the country will automatically be stronger and richer too..

So, how to stop the end of the world I mean just now?

Then, the poor must think they are poorer and work harder and harder...
On the other hand, the rich must think they are not rich enough (or better still, they are extremely poor)

Then, definitely everyone will strive their best to improve their financial stability.

I am not joking..

Look at people like Loh Boon Siew (Tan Sri), Yap Chor Ee..all this are rich taukay last time..

What happen to them now?

Losing in their rich luxurious dreamland...because their generations later on think they are rich enough and hence there is nothing to fill back.

This is the end of the world I mean...

SO!!

C'mon poor people (like me)

Let us rise and be no shame to admit of our poverty

In fact, we are the backbone to the development of the country.
(It is because it's more possible for the poorer to be poor and then rich..

There are smaller number of population for those rich to be richer and richest

Eg: there are only 1 Bill Gates you can be.

But there are many many many people which can gain richer every day.

So, we are the majority..
We are the deciding factor..
We are the roots of the nation..

Let's not look down at ourselve..
The country need us more than the rich..

But thinking we are POOR is just not enough

DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE OUR LIFE..

Let us lift our head high when someone feel we are not rich..that are what they suppose to think

And that is what we gonna change every moring whenwe open our eyes...

-I am a very bad manipulater whahaha-

(alright better I sleep before I got spank..my grandpa have came out and warned me for the 4th time..)

Good Luck to the Poors!!

Music of the Night

As the melody of Music of the Night filling up the space of the living room, my thoughts flying far recalling life before today.

As soon as I return from Shah Alam, I have did nothing much beneficial to the society except to myself.

I have over-charged myself when I sleep almost more than 10 hours a day.

Other than that, nothing excites me other than going for the recent LTC by Penang Free School MRC where I get to meet many new born babies of the society.

As usual, I have give some hard words to them and make more than little of them to be offended, haha even though some make out a forced smile but I know what running down their thoughts.



















Wil Sern is right. When I am back, I just cannot control that hard talk style. Bossy, aggressive and arrogant. haha but this time, I am asked to be that. I have been so calm and steady before I got into my unusual tune.

Yet I am still labelled as "soft action" leader..as I have neither show my temper or raise my voice with anyone before..but air tenang jangan kausangka tiada buaya lolz



















Haha..nvm hate me for my mouth..not my heart..I am always a kind person haha =P

So sad I got to leave the camp at about 4am.

Driving on my grandfather's road (since nobody is using that), I tried some rempit style on a 60-70 km/h speed. Nothing much can be done since I am still driving slow.

Greet my parents happily (after some disastrous lecture for coming back late), I quickly pack my stuff.

When I realise, I was sleeping on the chair with my legs on the bed.

My dad got so angry and that anger wakes me up (so it's a good thing to happen) before I quickly clean myself.

I just realise seriously I need to follow them to Genting (aiyo so reluctant).

The next time I realise, I am in Genting already. I think I have make my life productive totally by sleeping throughout the journey.

Go around the typical style other than went on the last cable car on 11pm with my friend from Tawau.




















Chatted along the way with scary and fearful feeling (not to hide anymore that I am aerophobic actually)

Feel so sorry as I have to "dumped" my grandfather in the casino with my dad as my Tawau friend keep on bugging me to bring him around..sorry =(

Went for karaoke and realise that I can still sing (though Tiong always say I can only sing 1 type of song which is *@!^ ). .haha




















Went to Chin Swee Temple before I "dumped" my Tawau friend this time in the outdoor theme park so I can accompany my grandfather...yay =(

They have their alcoholic night satisfying themselves with beer and wine while I isolated myself chatting in MSN with my mobile..banned alcoholic drinks

I felt so tired but I will b glad to return Penang again as the Penang trip will begin.

A Place I (want to) be Belongs to

I have never found a place where I can feel that comfortable with

Despite it can be very stink and disgusting at times,
Or even fear you with some annoying leech that will stuck to your leg,

But,

It can be so quiet and peaceful as if you are the only one on Earth,
The cooling and refreshing breeze that will actually delete your problems and stress
If not permanent at least for a moment in my life.














However,

I may still find it hard for me to be here
When you find yourself stranded alone on this little place
With no connection to the outside world for a moment

But,
With the warmth and blessing showered upon me (Thank God)
With the welcoming and harmonious sound of nature

I wonder how perfect if life can be forever here













However,
I realise this is not my life
I am not belong to this place

But
I will remember them
The days when I cycle and saying "Hi" to anyone outside
Walking from the paddy field crossing the Jerai mountain till I reach a small school

Though
this place may not be mine
But it will remain as
A Place I (want to) be Belong to

The Finale

What a traumatic life I have gone through with no Internet connection for nearly 3 days...in fact,with no hand phone as well..haha civilisation is as if has vanished in my life

Therefore, once I get back to my laptop, I am so eager to complete this final piece of life in Cendana in collaboration with Pre INTEC Cendana.

Part 2: The Finale for Semester June-Dec

Despite experiencing all the bad things before that, there are some worthy memorable life here.

We have never let our taste bud to undergo humiliation by eating the same food every day.

This is because weekends will be our 'Home cook food' day when we can come out with many home sweet home food.

Trust me..it has proven to induce homesick feeling in at least 1 out of the many though we have accept negative criticism too by at least 1 out of the many...not to name them haha

Besides that, it's nice to remember that though test is around the corner, there will be some mangkuks that will come and trick us by playing cards with us.

Maybe that is one of the factor, I didn't do well and they did the otherwise...(must be careful next time) haha

It is also sweet to remember when all of us can sit together on the floor and enjoy our meal.

I think my room 2/210 is the room that host this kind of gathering the most in Cendana.

Other than that, I believe my group of friends should be awarded the 1Malaysia award for successfully promoting unity within many races in Malaysia.

We have come to an extend where the Malays and Indians enjoying moon cake and holding lanterns with the Chinese as well as the Chinese helping themselves out in finishing the kuih raya by the Malays, as all of us really really like it.

In fact, I think I am too polluted by the political ideology by naming my friends the Malays, Chinese and Indians when they are all Malaysians...(but I wonder too why do I need to arrange Malay Chinese Indians...if I arrange Indians, Malays, Chinese..what will happen har? hahaha just cannot run away lar..lol racism)

Well I want to write more, but I am afraid it becomes boring.

Let me mark an end by saying, I am enjoying what is going on.

Pre INTEC CENDANA

Wow.. in a blink of an eye..it is already more than half a month since my last post..

Well, my time is just condensed to answer the call by the semester examination that lasted a week and ended about 3 days ago.

Well, that is not important, since it's over. I will just keep my fingers crossed and pray hard.

I have never mentioned much about my current life in INTEC, since I thought it will be so dull to write about it.

But surely to be different now, as there have been so much ups and downs happening here.

I would not be able to write what happen from the very first day, so I will just break it into few parts.

Part 1: Pre-INTEC CENDANA

Registered and met my room mates with the name of Chien Chong,Iskandar,Izzat,Tiong, and Wai Hong (arranged alphabetically, no bias here).

Later on, Iskandar left, Wai Hong often return to Puchong, and Izzat is only once in the blue moon seeing him in the room with us except when he is back to sleep.

So basically, you can know who is always around. Sometimes, it is kind of a pleasant thing to happen since it is more peaceful (not to mean they are noisy), more space around(as we can use their tables) and more freedom (as we can kutuk and gossip about them)



Room mates: from left we hav Tiong, Wai Hong, me Chien Chong







Before our class begin, we have this Minggu Mesra Siswa. Yes, it is fun and interesting, but maybe if you ask me, that should be the last time I would like to attend that.

Throughout that week, I know Tee Kee Chun, which later known as David =P other than Bobby, which later on very less often visited us until the last few weeks before sem break or when he need some help (wahaha, I knew you might read this, but still that is how I perceived).

Besides, I know this passive quite and boring guy called Ming Khai in MMS. He sounds so indecisive and wasting his parents money when he initially chosen Dentistry but later switched to Pharmacy because of JPA. His outlook with partially tinted glass with sleepy face and uncomb hair with that white arm sling bag just tell me, this is a very boring lame guy to know much, despite I have tried to converse wtih him a few times.

Other than that, I get to know Ming Keat, Bing Yang, Gordon, and Khoo after a few times knock onto them in front the room. Anyway, if you don't know, they are our close neighbour. That time, I didnt want to talk much with them, especially Ming Keat, because he really look so cocky, must be because he thinks that he is so great. But my perception actually change when I visited them for the first time. But if you ask me why, better not to know =P.




From behind left: Ming Khai (lame), Khoo (ego), Five (acting cool)
From behind right: Tiong (smile-less), me (no comment), and Ming Keat (cocky)




In school, I know many more new friends, new simply mean more girls actually. With 16 girls and 8 guys, it makes this class to suffer of the "genderically" mutation. Anyway, we have lots of fun and excitement.

Specially thanks to the English lecturer, Miss Hanie which have bring us all the meaning in INTEC filled with unconditional love (not forgetting her real life stories where we will keep our lips seal forever about that)



Miss Hanie, the one and only unique English lecturer










In class, I know more about people like Taufiq, Amin,and Parthee. Initially, all were really shy. I can still remember how quite Parthee was for the first 2 weeks of class, though later on the otherwise happen. Besides, Mr Five who used to ask me what I have for breakfast. And when I said "half boiled egg", he will show be a grunt on his face. Since then, I have answered him the same answer because I hated that reaction.

Well, everything just move on, from days to weeks, and from weeks to months. Quiz followed by Test, Test followed by Quiz and it goes on repetitively. After class, ALM cafe for lunch, stay back for KO-PLN, rush for the bus or have to be as if sitting in a roller coaster or going for a Formula 1 race swirling left and right, reach Cendana with sleepy eyes, change into casual, walk to Pasar for Mak Indon, come back and study, wake up for tomorrow and the day just repeats itself. Sigh...

So what, is this a LIFE? Well, it can be a YES, it can be a NO... but if this is what going to constantly repeat itself for the next semester or for the next 2 years, I can really become crazy... Something need to be fixed.. That will be the turning point of my life in INTEC and Cendana as well as the peak of momentum for this semester.

Let us keep that for the next time or it will be too long.

me and Him

Life for the past few days have been so uncertain.

Maybe it’s just illusion of mind or even just due to the paranoid state of mind facing with matters around me.

I have never fully believe that God and religion is the place for eternal peace. It’s just a self-comfort, it’s just a self-satisfaction. In other words, we explained the unseen with the unseen so it can be visible and acceptable in our mind.

We take things for granted and push everything to fate. We are relying and depending to our self-imagination. If we would belief God is great, hence He is great. When we pray for something to be fulfilled, it turns out to be, we thank Him. Who makes Him great? Our mind.

Maybe it’s really so silly and unacceptable. How can we believe in such unseen force that cannot be proven by equations or whatever so called Laws and Rules in scientific studies?

Yet, he is the most powerful force and most accepted theories in this universe.

Maybe that is the only way to say that God is that simple, His oneness is so easily to be understood and take no genius to believe Him.

We don’t need to simplify him in any ways, or either we need to acquire knowledge to learn him.
He is not a subject like Chemistry or Physics. He is not an object, to be labelled with adjectives.

He is a belief. He is what we believe. Are we going to believe what others believe just because that is how people educate us about God?

He have followed me and it goes the same to me also since the day I know Him.

I have laughed about Him. I have challenged Him. I have teased Him.

It would be hypocritical if I would deny that.

But yet, I know who is He.

In my life, my biggest bet is the way how i want to perceive the greatest power as- God.

And my losing in this bet surely going to send me to the burning of fire in Hell.

I am not afraid not because me undermined Him.

It's the Love of God, and not the Fear of God to believe Him.

I shall be what I am as long I know my conscience and principles.

Fortis Atque Fidelis

On yesterday 21.10.2009, the Grand Old Lady has entered into its another golden year, the 193th anniversary.

Being the oldest Alma mater in the Southeast Asia, definitely it will be all pride and fame for all Frees to celebrate this historical and grand occasion.

In fact, only when I am writing this, I just realise I am one of the very many Old Frees all around the world.

Down the memory lane, many sweet and bitter experiences I have gone through in this place called Penang Free School.

Not forgetting those days when I usually sleep in the school for holidays, running around with the Junior Coms or even counting the stars together in the middle of the night on the cricket pitch.

This is also the place where I have cause so much dispute with the school authorities. Maybe I am still young that time (and I am not really that old now as well), but yet I believe I am still holding on the same stand with what I did till today.

However, it's not the main concern about how much I have gone through but how well I have gone through.

Yet, this question will only remain as a question as the road to success is still far away.

However, what is distance when time will always linearly move us forward if we dare to strive further and lift up our self up in the shine of success.

With this, I hope the Grand Old Lady can always remain relevant and continue to produce leaders (Tunku Abdul Rahman, Jimmy Choo, Tun Lim Chong Eu, P. Ramlee as the very few names which are also the Old Frees)for the nation or even the world.

The motto "Fortie Atque Fidelis" will remain flowing as Free School is only for the brave and true.

-sigh of relief-

After hours of discussion with Bobby to complete his decision making speech, finally I get myself some free time to lay back and write something here.

Today, I expected to be something boring. Perhaps because I will be going for the Ko-PLN visit. But, in the end it was ok and I managed to find some joy and fun in it.

Went to the National Heart Institute (Institut Jantung Negara). Nothing make me like about that place except..



Can you believe this is how a hospital look like..elegant and artistic









I get to see the room Tun Mahathir admitted during his bypass surgery there











Went to the National Art Gallery before to the National Blood Bank












First time to donate blood













Many benefits, but the most importantly,








Get a Milo, bread, kuih and a pear after the donation =P..







Once I reached back, I saw Wai Hong waiting me. It means that I wont have the time to sleep since I promise to help him in his Demonstrative Speech text.

It was worth (and rare) when he wanted to treat me for dinner. More than happy, we went to the Bandar Lama Petaling Jaya have Hokkien Char and Loh Mee.



























Then, to Giant, get some durians (complement to Chien Chong in successfully bargaining until we manage to get the durian so cheap)

Then to Tesco to buy the broom, mope and cleanser.

Reach back here, quickly heat up the "da pao" food for other neighbours we have invited.

Very nice to see everyone gather around. Have been a long time 2/210 experience this loud and welcoming voices.

Open the laptop, discuss with Five (yeah..new names to be installed into the blog) discussing about his Demonstrative Speech idea..hopefully turns out well

Then, finally when I want to go and sleep, Bobby ask me to help him.

And now, here is where I am...

What I am trying to say here is:
1. I thought life is going to be miserable for me today. But then it turns up to be exactly different from my expectation.
2. Life is just so uncertained and undetermined.
3. But by the time you realise it, your day is almost ending.
4. Though we may not have enough, but it's too late to realise that.
5. Thus, enjoy every moment even if it's good or bad.
6. It might sounds "action speak louder than words", but indeed with every gratefullness and appreciation to your day everyday, its not hard.

Serungkai Abjad Berenda Kata

Di hari kini biarlah gembira,
Apa di esok Tuhan yang tentu;
Suka gembira sesama kita,
Duka merana sendiri tahu.

Turun dan naik lumrah manusia,
Asalkan kita penuh harapan;
Tinggi dan rendah hadapi sama,
Walaupun kita keseorangan.

Semalam kini kian berubah,
Ada yang hilnag banyak yang tiada;
Mungkinkah hati sudahpun goyah,
Sifat dan rupa kian berbeza.

Kaya dan miskin tiada diukur,
Asalkan setia tiada berganjak;
Kawan yang ada diafaz syukur,
Moga bersambung ibarat ombak.

Terus berjalan terus melangkah,
Selagi jalan di depan mata;
Terus bersimpul enggan berpangkah,
Selagi belum sampai masanya.

Walau di kini teringat semalam,
Terungkai rapat hati ke mata;
Hanya kulafaz buat yang faham,
Moga hariku masih bermakna.

Cause and Effect Essay

While I am collecting information about what might be out for tomorrow cause and effect essay writing test, I thought maybe I should practice one here and let you to be the marker.

How the cause from myself affect my friendship relationship.

It's going to be nearly 5 months me landed on this place known as INTEC. By now, maybe I can proudly claimed that I am getting use with the environment here. But then, at the very beginning, perhaps till now, I still feel not use to the friends I have here.

At first, I wonder, why can't I have those friends that are the same as I do in Free School last time. Writing this sentence reminds me of many of the oldies that we cherish the good moments together. Anyway, let me write more about the present..

At here, some people just get their nerve on me as they think my sarcasm is too concentrated..haha this is not a new thing to me ever since I'm in High School. When I talk rudely (the usual style), people say I bully them...haih..Sarawakians haha there are even not few that think I am so stubborn and never give in..." grumpy" they or maybe He, call it...

So, what happen is this.. Sin Hui is getting so "sweet" nowadays. But then the scars of my behaviour can still be seen here and there.. But what to do, everyone here is so smart. If I offended anyone, I might not only lose a friend but maybe my life as well..they kill you intellectually =.=". Anyway, I am happy with what is happening now, grateful and improving them. I am not sure how far this road of life we will be walking, but surely going to be a chapter of life for me to think of and smile upon in my older days in future.


So, what I am trying to conclude here is: what i am before this have become a cause to the effect of what I am now. And what I am now is going to be the effect to how friendship will be around me. Indirectly, this changes of relationship that approach me will change myself to fit me into the current situation.

This is how the cause and effect of myself towards friendship. The past affect the present to let the present to affect the future. It's just the wheel of life anyway.

Well, I am sure this is a boring piece, But haih I wanted to try to write something about myself, as it's encouraged by Ming Khai. But, I still stick to same principle, when you write something about yourself, "Who actually gonna care"...I think I better write about politics in future..

Logged out.

Salam Lebaran, Singkapan Kenangan

Tomorrow I am going to sit for English test, but seems I am still bravely sitting in front here putting up a new post.

Well, that's because a few unforgettable thoughts and happenings that happened throughout this Raya have run through my mind.

A few to highlight here:

1. I get to wish more Malay friends for this year Raya (mostly my new friends from INTEC)
2. How cool we were when we "ON" the Raya songs and enjoyed them together in class before the semester break begun.
3. Went to Radin's house (ooo new name in the blog, haha) was also a new experience. After knowing him nearly 4 years more, this is the first time I actually celebrate Raya in his house since I couldn't make it last year.
4. Enjoying kuih raya brought by my Malay friends just catch another glimpse of Malaysian backdrop of the colours of unity. Thanks for that delicious kuih...
5. Surprisingly, Miss Nadiah (if you don't know, my Chemistry lecturer) brought us also some nice baked cereals (sort of Corn Flakes) with mouth watering cake. Thanks for remembering us =)
6. Manage to text many losing contact friends, teachers and anyone I met throught my years of networking. Good to see the bonding of friends to be formed again.

I don't know what's more coming up to mark this celebration for the month of Syawal.

What I know, this very simple way of us celebrating Raya together with close friends is more enough than those mega open house.

At least, we found our common difference and we celebrate it with respect and cohesiveness.

I don't know how is Raya actually mean to others especially the non-Muslim, but that is how I sketch it in my mind.

Not too late for the Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin wishes.

Still cannot sleep

Looking at the clock ticking nearly to 4.20am, I put away my Bio notes and hook onto my laptop.

So frustrated as I've to redo my notes because I've loss them somewhere.

But thinking that it is one of the way to revise, it neutralises my annoyance.

Then, I browse through my previous post.

Saw so many spelling errors and mistake in sentence structures

Haha..feel of laughing and embarassesed with it. But then, I am not...????

1st basically nobody bothered to even read my blog except YOU...as you are still reading

2nd this blog was initially to simply give me an oppurtinity to write more. So, what's wrong doing some mistakes like what you also do in your essay writing.

3rd my English have been popularly known to be rotten and upside down. So, it's just reflecting the truth and I see nothing wrong about it =P

Whatever it is, this blog is supposed to be that way.

Write with no sense of responsibility or also known as freedom of writing...hahaha

-its going to be a boring holiday-

Break-fasting

Yesterday, we 10M9 students at the date 09.09.09 went to open fast in Plaza Alam Central.

The feeling was awesome and memorable.

Throughout the dinner, we spent our time chattering, teasing each other, and seeing each other how we suffer at the end of their fasting period.

Personally, this must be my best open fasting until we almost forgot that we are actually fasting for nearly 13 hours already.

We got alot of fun with Miss Hanie, our English lecturer and the bonding within us have got closer and stronger (something to be very glad of)

This must be one of the best and meaningful Malaysian backdrop that colours the true meaning of unity, understanding, mutual respect and cohesion among different races.

-1Malaysia-

Have been a long time I write a piece of my day...well just feel of not writing.

But who cares!!

Life still going on as normal and happy at times...but at least still with meaning.

Many things happened actually- studying in a new place with new people and new challenges.

Anyway, let us just capture some sweet memories deserved to be embedded in mind.

I am here writing after a long journey touring KL Times Square.

Generally, I feel its better than the Penang Times Square. I don't mind saying it is so much much better.

I went there with friends to watch the Final Destination. My first 18 SG movie =)

When will be my first 18SX ah? haha

I am not good in writing comment about movies...so maybe you should just watch yourself

Anyway, after that went to Arcade...lol it will be boring if I go to Queensbay one, but this was kinda fun and exciting. I got the second edition Sin Hui killing with gun (if you know the first edition picture in my Friendster).

















From left: Chien Choong, you (if you feel you are there) and Ming Khai

I will talk about them 1 by 1 next time...









From the best view : The food we ordered












Just if you curious, that is Tiong Shu Zhao and his Taylor's friend Ignitious (I might spelled wrongly) that came from Sawarak...
(background sound: boooo)

After that, walk around and around surrounding the "not round" Times Square.

After we got a call from Mr Stomach, we departed and went for a Steamboat and BBQ in Hot Teapot Restaurant for our dinner.

I shouldn't be so bad by making you feel of eating here..but the food is still ok and mouth watering especially when I am comparing those I eat always in Shah Alam.

The rest I leave it to you to imagine....
































Though it was far (really far) but didn't feel it since it's like an exercise after a heavy stomach we have loaded.

















When we reached Cendana ( if you don't know, that's the college I am staying now), my friends and I are extremely exhausted.

But then, think about the fun and joy we have today...just feel best

Cheers...write again in future!!

If Its The Real World

I has been very long didn't write for posting. It is not because of laziness neither because of shortage of topics and discussions.

However, it's just because of exhaustion that has been crawling over me in facing the real world.

Yes, the REAL WORLD..

If you ask me how it's look like, I don't know either it is blue or red (maybe I am a colour blind) or even either it is tall or short.

What I am sure, it is CRUEL!!

I hear that before, people telling me that, "Sin Hui, life is hard", "Life is unmerciful", and I thought I understand that very much.

Actually, facing it yourself gives you a total difference than what always in your mind.

Well, a few incidents for me to say why it's that, but I will just pick 1 of those with the least personal problems.

Recently, life was rather hectic because most of the days I am out on the road, under the Sun, cycling like a clown around the Island.

After so much effort, thinking that it will bear fruits, it turned out to be different.

People don't really care whatever effort, how much you put in, either you burn the midnight oil or not, the sweats you pour, or even the pain.

They hold on their belief, their perception, and their decision -YES OR NO...

Mostly it was a NO...some gave you a pleasant YES..(thank you)

You are really in the battle field.

No armies from your enemy troop doesn't symbolises your definite winning because at the end of the day you may be knock out by some cannons...

No weapons and bullets from you doesn't symbolises defeat because your enemy may forget his as well...

It's all just about the strong will and unwillingness in you to bow upon fate...

Indeed, that was how I started from nothing till what I am today...(long story to say when think about that)

However, the conclusion is, never judge too early, saying in easier manner, DON'T THINK TOO POSITIVELY or even NEGATIVELY..Just be brave

Just let the ball rolls and see how it goes...

Meanwhile, I mustn't deny that I also achieve a few life satisfaction that no words can describe them.

The happiness of students (even kissing your hand), the laughter of parents thanking you for the child gradual changes, the satisfaction of everyone and myself...

After seeing so much, I understand myself better.

What I always think about myself seems wrong..

I am not searching for a luxurious life, I just want a satisfying life...

I don't know how much will this change my FUTURE...

What I am sure now, it affects my PRESENT..

-I hope my seminar will be going fine, May the Force be with me-

What a Day!!

This year, my Thaipusam celebration was slightly different.

It's rather more tiring and exhausting, more blister, and more sweat droppings.

However, in the difficulties and hurdles I gone through, I understand the little meaning of life.

On Friday, I receive a sudden message from my old school teacher seeking for help to carry up loads of ice up to the Waterfall Temple.

I was partly holding back because I was extremely tired- after the motorbike test, went to school, and all the way to the Immigration Office.

But I believe my 'sir' wouldn't have call me if and only if he doesn't really need my help.

So, took a bus at 4pm and reach there at 5.30pm after a long walk from Adventist under the hot Sun with a friend that didn't even grunt throughout the whole way.

Counting the steps at the Waterfall Temple, loads of ice were carried up.

Many things happened that time

As it's a voluntary work, therefore nobody was actually sighing or even complaining.
Everyone was working under a very pleasant and willing manner. Air of laughter were carried along with the heavy ice towards the top of the temple.

I was made to understand that the ice was meant to quench thousands of thirst during the Thaipusam celebration on Sunday.

As the sky turning darker, we decided to make a move. However, we realise our bags were kept by my 'sir' and he is up on the temple while we were already at the basement.

So, I make a call and without thinking, my 'sir' went all the way down just to pass us the bags. To those who went there should know how tiring climbing the stairs, but my 'sir' did it ( climbing down and went up again) in his not very young age. I was very guilty but the best I can say is 'Thank you'.

When we were about to leave, suddenly the 2 seniors came with their motorcycle to fetch me and my friend back to Adventist. Realising that there's is no extra helmet, they insist us for the ride. For safety reason, I just ask them to put me and my friend near the end of the road- save us about 500m.

This may be one the most tiring day, however it is a day of friendship, a day of respect, and even a day of mankind.

The significance of Thaipusam seems to be much more meaningful than just loud music, chariots, and anything we always relate to.

It was a feeling I l have lost for the past 5 years after leaving my secondary school.

The natural feeling of friendship, respect and loving were no longer in the new environment of my high school.

I miss those days...

Chinese New Year basically comes to an end for me after tomorrow's prayers to the God Of Heaven.

Thinking about the past 7 days, I realise it's one of the best Chinese New Year.

There are reasons for me to say that.

Firstly, there is an increase of number in my family. So, there is more fun and gaiety basically. Indeed that's the true spirit of Chinese New Year- Reunion and Peace.

Secondly, I do more visits despite the fact that my father's side had been a smaller scale. Perhaps because I include more friends in my "Directory List" this year.

Thirdly, the gathering in my grandparent's house was rather memorable and exciting.

However, there were a few dislikes for this year New Year.

I didn't catch many Lion or Dragon dance performances compared to recent years.

Quality of food for Chinese New Year was slightly deteriorated. My favourite cookies and crackers was not served because the supplier bankrupted recently. In addition, "Yee sang" this year taste like dried fish and salted vegetable.

All this are the result from global recession. So, I couldn't do much actually.

Basically, this is all happen for this year Oxen Chinese New Year.

It will be summarised after the 8th day that's in honour to the God of Heaven.

Since today is Human's Birthday. I hope for peace, security, serenity and tranquil in anywhere and everywhere in the name of humanity.

Happy Birthday!!

Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin

Since small, I have never been expose to stuffs like computer games, hand phone, mp3, gameboy or even Power Rangers as well as Ultraman.

All this terminology sounds very alien and not friendly to me.

So, how's it during my childhood days?

Well, we keep that for next time.

But today I publish this post in memory of two great idols that none of any of my friends will share with.

I love only some of their songs but I miss the most are their spirit.

And the one I am paying tribute to are Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin.

Left: Pak Suet Sin and Right: Yam Kim Fai

You know who are they?

As I am continuing writing, my heart can really feels it.


The feeling is like asking me to write everything about this two opera stars and let the whole world to know how great they are.


A brief history of them.


Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin are both best friends and best working partner on the stage opera.


One of my favourite shots will definitely be their "Dai Lui Fah" (The Princess of Chang Ping)


Yam Kim Fai dismissed in the year of 1989.


Today, I wonder whoever in Hong Kong who don't know Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin


They uphold and preserve the art of civilisation that existed since few centuries ago until today.


Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin was a life friends that I am always envy of because I will never get one today.


They were sincere and tendentiously intend to widespread our Chinese Opera that is extinguishing nowadays.


They were examples to all Opera Stars and their lost can still be felt even after nearly 20 years.


Today, no matter how much I know about the modern world, there will be always this space to spend for opera.


Indeed, it is one of my interest and they inspired me a lot.

I really hope that opera will still be well-received and no regrets for life when I can listen to the best music of opera during my last breath, though I am still young.


Oh God..I really can't ever tell you about the beauty and significance of the Cantonese Opera in me.


Well, it's all a tribute and honour to Yam Bak Sisters.

I wouldnt have love cantonese language that belongs to my maternal grandparents as much as I would without both of you.

Bahasa Malaysia, National Language

Recently, I watched a television program that disucss on how to difnify our national language, Bahasa Melayu and I was inspired.

However, I didn't want to talk much initially since the discussion on matters regarding our Bahasa Kebangsaan was made so taboo by our first class mentality government.

However, after realising that there should be a holistic mind and to be awake from our mistakes, I call for this consideration.

First of all, what is Bahasa Malaysia?

National Language. Yes! It's the national language.

More example, they are similarly as how we call the National Museum, National Mosque, National Park and etc.

They represent our Malaysians' standard of civilisation, sociocultural background, and way of lifestyle.

In other words, they represent our nation.

However, is it logic to agree that we should disallow idea to build a Museum or a Mosque that may stand better than our "Nationals" one?

Maybe, simply because they feel that it will disgrace or dismiss our National Museum or National
Mosque.

Yes, everyone of us realise there is still some "Jaguh Kampungs" that have this mentality.

When I say that, it means the Government even the Opposition and also the "pro-mother tongue".

They point out that it will destroy our National Language forever from this Land. It will be a shame. It shows disrespect. We will forget our identity and di da di da this people can ever think just to influence the rakyat.

They disallow and decelerate progress when we have to adapt relevant changes.

That changes include picking up new languages other than the National Language.

All this protesters that attack blindly simply NOT because they love the language, not because they are fighters for the people but because they are POLITICIANS.

They manipulate facts, they misinterpret the truth, they blindfold the people in the "kampungs" because they want to seek VOTES.

They are prejudice. They are hypocrite. They are narrow-minded. They are catching for the limelight. They are achieving for cheap publicity.

Because the truth is that we can still develop, we are still proud of our very own National Language even if we master other languages because National Language will always be our National Language and we, Malaysians understand that very well.

However, at the same time we realise the needs of inquiring other languages and I mean any languages because I am not prejudice to Bahasa Malaysia and hoo-haa for only English, in case if anyone of you that think it that way.

Think!! How on Earth in this modernized world to survive with only two languages including our mother tongue especially the main ethnics in Malaysia such as the Chinese and the Indians?

Those Jaguh Kampungs are thinking of themselves and never think for the future of we fellow Malaysians by betting and sacrificing our future and let us struggle in this competitive and demanding world when we are not equipped by mastering other languages.

In literary, they are as if throwing the rakyat into a war by not providing weapons for their self-interest. SELFISH AYAM KAMPUNG!!

I would really intend to dare those "pak minister" to communicate in National Language when they speak in global conference if they are inclined so much in their propaganda.

They are going to be the laughing stock because there will be only ONE MAN that understands him. And the little one is HIMSELF.

Adding to that, if its true that foreign language will vanish our identity, look at our neighbour country, Singapore.

Their motto is Majulah Singapura (Bahasa Malaysia) when they place the status of English as so important but they never, NEVER replace English language as their National Language.

That's people with brains. They are preserving what they should. They inherit their ancestor language but at the same time they didn't neglect the global language, economy language, international language.

Actually we realise all that, including the importance of Science and Math in English, but it's our self-ignorance. It's because we are easily influence by the propaganda of the Ayam Kampung.

Therefore, the solution is actually there.

Which is to IGNORE and FORGET about the AYAM KAMPUNGS.

As I said earlier, so long Malaysian is a free and independent country, we Malaysians will use our blood and tears to fight for our National Language.

But let us also resemble our strength by adding value on ourself; one of it to have a diverse ways to converse.

Use our intelligence, wisdom, self consciousness and broad mindedness to judge the rights and wrongs.

Let us not be the part of the political games and let us be united to strive towards the betterment for the nation.

Let us do our little bit we can ever contribute- a matured citizen.

Let us stand out and understand our key role.

Let us divert our friends from old to young from the dark to bright, from the lies to the truth.

Let us not be be thinking on the stand of races, political differences, and whatever good names of ideology.

Instead, let us stand in the name of development and progression for the sake of future generations, our children.

As our National Motto sounds, "Bersekutu Bertambah Mutu" (Unity is Strength)

My first posting

Welcome!!

This is my first posting and thus tasting the life as a blogger for the first time.

I didn't know why should I have one, but personally I feel it's because I COPY .

Yes! COPY! Since I'd seen so many of my friends have one, I felt left out if I don't own one as well.

However, nobody denies the fact that COPYING actually makes each and everyone of us to be what we are today.

When we are born, we imitate the way people talk, and from there we develop our communication skills.

When we see how people dress, we emulate their way and fashion and slowly it becomes our style.

When we mix with politicians, sooner or later we cultivate their way of talking, walking, as well as their habits in making promises.

Therefore, COPYING does not lowers down our esteem, if and only if we practice the RIGHT WAY to COPY.

Indeed, COPY is part of evolution in mankind civilisation...

However, this blog is merely for me to write and air my views and opinions as a normal citizen, as one of the spectator in the "life show" featuring anything that are deserving and worth for us to talk about.

Hopefully, this blog can please and satisfy my desire in sharing my opinions. However, if my writings can satisfy you as well, I am much happier to write.

Please voice your critics and critiques for anything publish here.
