SPM

2009-03-12T23:06:00.002+08:00

9 A1, BC 3B, BM 4B.

I just felt unpleasant when I learnt my results were not straight A's, having done it for UPSR and PMR. After all these exams where I have been performing excellently (according to government standards). HAHA, it was just a little disappointing.

Come to think of it in a deeper sense, BC 3B was expected, BM 4B? Surprised. BM was used to be one of the "sure" subjects that will guarantee an A(my opinion).

Never mind, many students will envy this kind of results. Just felt that, I was just unlucky to miss out that two A's that will bring the glory of getting all A's in all of my government exams.

And not to mention, government exams and all of those BLOODY MARKING SCHEMES are just "a failed system in a failed country" - THE FAT ONE A.K.A Paparazzi. So I will be happy enough just to get through this 11 years of failed system in a failed environment in a failed country. So who those who are worked so hard but are disappointed in their results, think twice, life is just not about hardwork, luck will also determine the outcome. Hardwork do make a difference, just that it will raise the possibility of success, but the most important thing is not about the possibility of success, it is the possiblity of failure, it determines everything.

If you do not get a sastisfactory result, what will happen? Nothing!!!!!!!

So, get on with a life. After all, its just the past, dwell with the future!!!

IT WAS FUN AT SUNWAY.......

Sleeping In College?????

2009-02-13T17:14:00.002+08:00

Why is it not good to sleep in college??????

1) You are wasting your money. It's not like school where you can just sleep because you don't pay a single cent to the teachers but at college, you have chosen what you want to study and sleeping in college class just makes you like a fool.

2) Bed at home is more comfortable than classrooms.

3) Distracting teacher's attention. You think by sleeping you will not disturb the class because you are not making noise?
NO!
Sleeping will distract the educator actually. They will feel dulan when you are not listening to their lectures

4) Setting a wrong example for others

5) Lectures are always important, not like school where 70% or the things we learn are rubbish

6) It is the wrong time to sleep

7) It is so bright in class

8) You will miss out on homework and assignment details

SO,

DO NOT

MPO Open rehearsal

2009-01-16T18:18:00.002+08:00

16 Jan 2009, MPO open rehearsal with Han Na Chang, Shostakovitch cello concerto no1.

After all this hype about this particular cellist playing the Shos cello concerto no 1, I decided to visit DFP despite a protest going on at the US embassy near KLCC.

It was FANTASTIC. All passages were very well played with the Shostakovitch style plus amazing technical ability. It was obvious that some of the MPO cellist were looking at her(missing a few notes) because she was just amazing. Amazing in the sense that the way she bow with such force but the sound was not cracked and the edge on each and every note was very prominent. Very very impressive bow arm technique plus involvement in every attack. It was almost flawless, just that the horn solo wasn't exactly with her and she had to slow down a bit to adjust(1st rehearsal, very impressive sound from the MPO actually).

Second movement was very lyrically played which I think will capture the attention of the audience for tomorrow's and Sunday's concert. It just gives me a feeling of the cold Russia and the people suffering from hunger.

I hope for a good concert and of course wish her to return and play again for the coming seasons with MPO.

P.s I saw a very famous fishmonger today!!!!!! Maybe he has a very different opinion from mine.

PAS or UMNO in KT?

2009-01-08T23:38:00.002+08:00

P o36, the parliamentary seat for Kuala Terengganu, who will win?

Pakatan Rakyat?
UMNO(there is no BN)?
or the independant(noob, waste 15 k just to gain some fame)?

This by-election will show how the people in KT as well as the country will respond to the war in BN(money politics, corruption) and PR (hudud, harmony between MP and leaders).

I am sure some dirty tactics will be used against PR because BN governs the country and has more funds for this election. I really wonder what are all these ministers doing in KT(Pak Lah, Najib, Ong Tee Keat), shouldn't they rule the country instead of involving in these politics? And I wonder how would the chinese community over there respond to the hudud issue?

Nobody knows who is going to win, but I can assure you both parties will give each other a real fight because when BN fails to win back Permatang Pauh, surely they cannot afford to lose another seat.

I hope all fence sitters will swing their votes towards PR and rally to a thumping victory on JAN 17.

2009-01-05T00:37:00.000+08:00

School reopens today. What most important is students have to know why they go to school. School is a place to learn and also to have fun, so do enjoy yourselves in school as well as gain some really valuable knowledge although the education system in Malaysia is really bad.

As a student who has completed his high school studies, I believed that no matter how bad or boring you feel about your school, the good memories will always remain in your heart and you will appreciate it even more when you have left your school. It may be fun moments such as doing some mischievous act or even sleeping in class.

No matter what, we must always remember that teachers are always slaves to the current education system and we must not treat them too badly because some of them who really has the passion to teach(you can tell), just could not teach what they think they should because of the exam-oriented system which only focus on textbooks and local government exams(some of them are completely useless). This kind of teachers will just do everything they could, try different kinds of methods just to dig some information into our thick heads. I give my full respect to this kind of teachers who are just so dedicated although some students just think they are frauds who teach for the sake embracing the failed education system. Although we must also agree that some teachers who just teach for the sake of getting some salary just enough for living and do not have big ambitions or passion because they believe teaching is an easy way to live.

I think that most books do give us some relevant information which maybe useful in our lives but of course we must not study or even worse-memorize each and every single note in our books because most of the words are rubbish. A new year, a new resolution. Most of the students aim very high such as getting flying colors in their exams. Most of these targets are often not achieve because the moment they set a specific target, they do not foresee the unpredictable and of course this will lead to what you call ‘failure’. For me, a person’s life must be balance. It may be balance between studies and fun time although the duration of these two different things will not be the same. It will help if you always face every challenge with optimism and of course determination which gives you the extra boost in whatever you do.

I wish every student that thinks that they are ‘in hell’ for another ? years good luck and all the best. Most important, enjoy while you can. Coming out of school may be rejoicing but nothing beats school life if you enjoy. MAKE THE DISCIPLINE TEACHERS WORK!!!!!

I got back to Puchong via KL Sentral today and waited for the usual bus to arrive at the bus stop.

It was raining and after some long half an hour wait, the bus finally arrived. It was damn annoying when a group of AFRICANS who think that they are big in size(....any part of the body including genitals) started shoving people out of their way including me just to get into the bus first. So, I decided to hold them back(give them an elbow to one of their hip actually when he push me out of his way although he is six inches taller than me). This is MALAYSIA and with these sort of people intruding our peace and tranquility, not respecting our local people, I think we should always stand out and defend ourselves from being bullied.

Not all of them are arrogant and aggressive, just that we always have to believe in ourselves.

Finally I saw another cello from the maker who made my instrument(Jan Pawlikowski).

This cello is a little younger, size about the same, colour and tailpiece also almost identical to mine.

Selling it at 8000 euros, 2000 cheaper than a new one.

SPM

2008-11-27T23:14:00.002+08:00

Stupid peperiksaan Malaysia (SPM) is finally over.

Although I am happy that I have finshed Malaysia's FAILED education system(memalukan),
I know I have 'half' failed as a person and as a student because I have failed to be a good student who obeys the teacher and does his homework AND I feel sorry for that now.

During the last paper, I had this feeling. This weird but special feeling that I felt that I could not really concentrate on my last paper(but never mind, I have inherited some bullshit skill that does not require concentration). I actually started to miss school and all my friends, all the laughter, all the jokes, all the mischief, basically everything.

I will always remember that ONCE A CHS-IAN, ALWAYS A CHS-IAN.

AHHHH,
I MISS SCHOOL!!!

How do I feel?

By the way, I don't feel like being a slave to another classmate just for selling books. It just make me sick the way ...... act. Is it a must??????????? I feel so under pressure just looking at ..........

Singapore. A place for fantasy or a dull place for a career?

2008-10-23T00:42:00.003+08:00

During my last trip to Singapore, I finally realized what my friend was trying to tell me-Singapore pretty girls are scarce. Nevertheless, I still don't agree with his statement of the nearer you get to the equator of the earth, the less pretty girls you will find.

Even though you travel to famous shopping places like Orchard Road or Suntec City, you may not able to see pretty girls. I agree many of them dress very skimpily and tried to be sexy but not all girls who dress sexily are pretty. Just imagine, a bad designed house coated with some colourful and bright paint compared to a well designed modern looking house which is not painted yet. Of course from far, the bad designed house look good because of its colours but when you get near the well designed house, you start to feel pleased. I still prefer to look at local girls.

I think one of its major factor that does not attract me to Singapore is their food. In Malaysia, food everywhere is delicious especially those chinese hawkers food. Can you imagine you pay 3 Singapore dollar for a plate of chicken rice and all they give you is white rice and some overcooked chicken with bones all over the place.

A good chicken rice must smell good and of course can be eaten without chicken because it must already be delicious enough to melt in your mouth. I just love it when the steam of the rice reach your nostrils. Saliva just drools out from your mouth.

Next is the chicken, the chicken was overcooked, thus losing the tenderness and it was like biting threads out of the meat. For a perfect chicken breast, the chicken meat must be boneless and tender(just like human breast) plus a soft and crispy skin. I just love when the chicken meat is soft and smells great.

Next is the sauce. Can't Singaporeans just prepare a nice thick black sauce to spice up the taste of the chicken, soy sauce with a bit of sesame oil not bad too!!!! All they do is producing a sauce made up of chinese herbs which does not suit the chicken and the rice at all. The sauce is a very important link between the rice and the chicken. It cannot be missed.

Chili, oh yes!!! Sometimes I don't like to eat chicken rice with chili but sometimes I do. The chili accompanying the chicken rice has to be sour and spicy at the same time. It must have the right combination in order to have a devastating impact on the diner. What disappoints me is most of the chicken rice shops here put their chilis on the plate or the polystyrene itself. I hate to eat chilis when I don't feel like eating, it just sucks when you are not prepared for any.

What I have just said above occurs to a big population of Singapore hawker stalls who sells chicken rice. Of course I am sure that there is a good enough chicken rice stall somewhere in the island. I still prefer Malaysian version of chicken rice because it easy cheaper, more stalls available everywhere and of course have the Malaysian taste in it.

Thats the only thing I am proud of Malaysia-food!!!!

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. His students shuffled in and took their seats wondering what was he up. Normally that professor would flap into the room with various papers falling to the ground as he apologized for being late. This change immediately silenced their talk and they quietly took their seats and fixed their eyes on their educator.

When the time came for the class to begin, wordlessly the Professor picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, each about 2 inches in diameter. He then screwed the lid on. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They all agreed that it was.

So the professor then took the lid off the jar and picked up a box of smaller pebbles, pouring them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the bigger rocks. He replaced the lid.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full now. Again, they agreed it was.

You probably get the idea now, and, sure enough, the professor picked up the jar again, took of the lid and poured in a box of sand. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining room right to the very top of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was now full. The students confidently responded with an unanimous- YES!

The professor the produced two cans of beer from under the table and proceeded to pour the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the space between the sand. The students laughed at having been caught out again.

"Now", said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you ti recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things- your family, you partner, your health, your children, maybe your friends. These are the things that, if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles represent all the other things that matter to you, but essentially are not be all and end all of your existence. Things such as your job, your house, your car, your football team, your pets, and so on. The sand is everything else that fills in the gaps and enriches your life but could not described as essential for your happiness and well being - the small stuff like your favourite television shows, internet sites, etc."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, like watching television, then you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness . Play with your children. Take time to get medical check-ups. Take your partner out dancing and treat them to a nice meal, or a new outfit every so often. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the bedside light."

"Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

All of the students sat nodding to themselves, appreciating the lesson. However, the odd one out raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.....
........it just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers!"

Recently, somebody demoted me from rocks to beers!!!!!!

What Is Life?

2008-10-05T23:23:00.002+08:00

Have you ever wonder what is life?

We only have A life which may last from a second to 100+ years. During this time frame, what must we do?

Being able to live with a soul and a world full of colours, emotions and elements, many people have chosen the wrong way to live. All because of peer pressure and tradition. These things make people blind. They have lost their directions in life. One of the superb example is the life of many: receive primary education, secondary education, tertiary education, work, marry, have kids, make money, retire, die.

The question is do you have a say in your own life?

When I see so many students studying so hard for SPM just to get A's, I often ask them, what do you want to do in your later life. More than 50% of the respondent will say they don't know. I asked again, is it scoring A's in SPM is something that you like? 99% said no.

Clearly this shows that people are not aware of what are they doing. They tend to finish their studies because they are forced to by the government and the parents then select a field without deep thoughts to it and say goodbye to the life they want. Some people really live the way they want. Some are just happy to be a music teacher, some happy to be an archaeologist, teacher, artist, even some who are just happy to live in the forest without worrying about finance and family life.

Whether you are moving into the direction you want is your choice, not following a routine of learning, working, family, and death. I choose my path that I like and I do what I like because I would only be satisfied with my life which is the music world. Only the life you want to be can satisfy you completely because I am sure you have not taste the satisfaction you long to have, whether is being loved by someone or achieve you pinnacle success.

SPM, your satisfaction?
Just a mere result which you think it would ruin your life.
BUT
It is your choice
Because I am inching closer to what is my objective of life.
Are you?

Rest In Peace, Grandma

2008-09-25T13:46:00.002+08:00

Last friday, my family had to leave to Singapore to visit my grandma who was bedridden because of stroke - a severe one. That evening, I just told my father to let the whole family follow him to Singapore. He said no to me because of my SPM trials resuming on monday. I don't know why, I insisted on the whole family travelling down. My father called my aunt to find out how bad the condition was, she said my grandma has only one more day of survival as her hemorrhage was stage 5(critical condition)

So, we went to Puduraya to get bus tickets to Singapore. We were shocked to find out that the government has implemented a 30% surcharge for those who are travelling in the Hari Raya period and what is more alarming is all buses to the south has to be boarded at Bukit Jalil and not Puduraya. Many of the bus passengers were not aware about this change in system which makes them confuse and angry. We bought our tickets to Singapore via Eltabina Coach Service and had to travel to Bukit Jalil via the shuttle bus service set up by the government.

To my surprise, we have to pay RM3 each to board on to the shuttle bus. Isn't it ridiculous when the government impose a 30 % surcharge, then ask you to buy your bus tickets at Puduraya then travel to Bukit Jalil via the 'provided' shuttle bus because tickets are only sold at Puduraya and not Bukit Jalil. THANKS TO ONG TEE KEAT for this 'wonderful' idea which makes everybody sick especially those who are foreign.

We reached Bukit Jalil and look for the ticketing counter(we paid the money and was handed a piece of crap looking junk resit) but nobody was at that station. Finally, at 12.00 the man appeared and our journey was delayed by 45 minutes because the driver was eating his supper.

It was not a smooth journey as we had to change buses and stop 3 times because of somebody's SMALL bladder who can't even hold their urine for more than 2 hours.

We ate our breakfast near Lavender MRT station and procede to the hospital via Buona Vista station. The FREE shuttle bus service to the hospital had stopped since Jan 1. Luckily, there was bus no 95 to take us there. My father was rather anxious to see the condition of his mother.

Finally, we went to the ward and look at my grandma. It was the first time I see a drop of tears rolling down my father's cheek. Nobody had expected my grandma to have a stroke so sudden, just on friday morning. We waited and stayed beside her until 9 am, when my aunt came. Everyone was in a sombre mood that time.

A doctor came in and told us all that they will do a scan when she is ready for it as her heartbeat was back to normal after a turbulent night. The doctor(not the one the night before) said that it is likely that she will pass this critical period in five days because the clot was not as big as feared. My aunt was shocked because the doctor yesterday said the opposite thing. It was confusing. She asked a lot of questions regarding how to take care of her and will she be able to 'wake up' and speak again.

My uncle sent us back to the house to get some rest. Suddenly at 1130, my grandma passed away. We rushed to the hospital and everybody just broke down and cried. It was really sad, nobody expected her to pass away like that.

Everybody regretted not treating her well enough including my father whom he said he should call and talk to her more and go down to Singapore to visit her more often. It is always very heart wrenching when your love ones just passed away and you did not notice that the night that she called a few days ago was the last time you will hear her talk to you. This tragedy has taught everybody a lesson. It is too late to appreciate somebody's love when you are not appreciating it now. The split second that she is gone, she is gone forever. It also means that I should remind myself that I should appreciate those who love me and also give back love.

I left on Sunday afternoon having a bad feeling as I can't attend the burial ceremony on Monday.

LOVE: the most important thing in everybody's life.

Baffled By How They Got My Number

2008-09-03T13:53:00.002+08:00

This morning when I was alone at home. A chinese woman called my handphone.
The usual number by the dialer was missing on my handphone, believed to be a registered not to show the dialer's number. She greeted me in mandarin with a slight China accent although she tried to cover up. Her tone was sweet and seductive. So, I decided to return my greetings in English and see what will happen. She asked me whether I could speak in mandarin. I said I could not understand what is she talking about. She then hung up the phone.

Possibilities if I continue or start to talk to her in mandarin
1) Lure me into giving my personal details
2) Lure me to buy some products
3) She may be a illegal Chinese sex worker(which I 99.9% think so)

Conclusion: If anybody calls you and talk to you in mandarin. Reply in ENGLISH. It helps!!!!!!!11

MERDEKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-08-31T01:26:00.002+08:00

What is merdeka?

No drop in prices(in cantonese). Since the announcement of Budget 2009, I don't feel that the government is helping the people at all. What Anwar said was right, why the government has a deficit when it is an oil-producing country. We should have a great edge over countries who do not have any resources at all such Singapore.

Anyway, our country is a joke. So we are celebrating merdeka on Nov 27 for me and my friends.

Now, hardcore studying!!!!!

Borodin Quartet, 27 Aug 2008

2008-08-28T12:45:00.002+08:00

Got out from home at 4.30 pm, walked to the bus stop 1.5 km to the north of my house. Holy crap, it started raining. Luckily I got on to the bus before it started to pour. Reached KLCC at 6, went to Kinokuniya to look for some Mahathir's books. Found one called The Other Side of Mahathir by Zam(former minister of information), cost about RM18.

After dinner, I went straight to DFP, hoping to meet some MPYO mates who are attending the concert. So at 8.15pm, I was already seated at W15. To my surprise, the number of MPYO members attending the concert are just a handful. Many of the MPO musicians came to watch this quartet in action. I felt ashame because not only they miss a world class quartet performing chmaber music, but also missing the program of Beethoven's 2nd string quartet, Shostakovich 8 and also Borodin's second. This pieces don't come by often and it is one of everybody's favourite, thats why so many MPO musicians came to listen and enjoy the performance.

It started of with a bang. The whole quartet was magnificent, sounding as one and the way they brought up the atmosphere was just incredible. Every single detail was played to perfection as a quartet. Every single dotted rhythm was just unbelievably tight. The way they express themselves as individuals soaring with melodies was so free. They have already reached a level where rhythm is not a concern for them. The way the first violin singing the line with the others being metronomical was so beautiful. It just move past the static rhythm. For a good quartet, the inner part of it(2nd and viola) has to really work hard and fill in the big gap between the 1st and the cello and they succeed in doing that producing a whole, full, rich sound.

There were some parts where there are only the violins and the viola playing. As expected the violist immediately took authority of the bass line to support the violins. To be a good quartet, those individuals must have good instruments too, the first violin was using a somehow brighter violin than the second, which is slightly mellow. The violist have an incredible viola tone which just links the violinist and the cellist. Somehow I felt that the cello could be less bright but overall it was alright.

Next was Shostakovich 8. Again, the quartet showed their quality through those unison C notes that was so full in tone. Famous for its Jewish theme and its notorious runs by all individuals, they just felt the music with ease without having to look at each other much and it sounded so good. I think so far it was the best performance i have heard for the night. I was eager to listen to the borodin quartet no 2 after the break.

I came into the hall after 15 minutes and somehow an Italian guy sit next to a pretty girl two seats next to me and he started flirting in the middle of the concert. To my right, another ladies was creating unnecessary sounds with her heels that got me annoyed. For the previous quartets, they started with authority and I somehow wanted to see how nervous they can get starting Borodin's Quartet no2. To my shock and disbelief, the starting note of the quartet, an A note from the second violin was play Forte instead of piano. Next the cello just sings the theme out also in Forte like an opera singer singing La Toreador. I just couldn't believe what i have heard. It should be like opening a window in the morning and singing it to your lover or any better singer and not ..........PRESS THE ON BUTTON ON THE AMPLIFIER AND PLAYING THE TUNE THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC ORGAN WITH HIGH REVERBS. I was absolutely dissapointed with their opening and their over energetic performace. (Can't blame them, they are all guys, it is very different when you are seating opposite somebody that you love and seating opposite a man which you have seen and work with for the past thousand years.) The second movement was also a disgrace. Accents were too much throughout the piece and it sounded as though it was like Bunyi Gitar performed by the MPYO. Luckily the beautiful lines of individual restored some pride in the next two movements.

The two encore pieces were nice too. A definitely world class quartet. The best so far played in DFP.

Taming our Hot Temper

2008-08-27T12:16:00.001+08:00

Temper takes many forms. The form of temper we now adopt as adults depends very much on what was successfully applied on us as children. For example, if the significant adults had used temper to control us successfully, we now use temper to try to control others. Since we had focused on the injustice of the temper so much, we unconsciously imbibe the very behavior we hated.

Temper can be obvious or it can be subtle. Temper manifests itself in some of the following ways:
a) explosion----we rage, we use anger to lash out at others and intimidate them.
b) implosion----we give the silent treatment, we sulk, we turn it inward and beat ourselves up.
c) irritation---we have little tolerance, we are out of control.
d) repetition---we nag constantly, we are stuck in the same angry groove.

It is best to avoid all forms of anger because if we give anger an inch, it will take a mile. So don’t let anger get a foothold in our hearts. For once anger gets into our hearts, it is hard to uproot. And if we let the sun go down on our anger, our hearts will harden into resentment and bitterness.

We are the only one who can make ourselves angry. We choose how we respond to the event that upset us. The meaning we give to the event will determine whether we become angry or not. What we tell ourselves makes us angry. How? By telling ourselves that we have been taken undue advantage of, that we have been unfairly treated, abused, bullied, humiliated, browbeaten, intimidated, coerced or mercilessly whacked for minor mistakes or by recounting to ourselves all the perceived wrongs that have been done to us in the past. It is vital that we watch our thoughts as we can temporarily stop our anger when we change our thoughts or change what we tell ourselves. Yet, why do we often become more and more angry? Because we refuse to change our angry thoughts or we choose to churn over and over in our minds what we keep telling ourselves. And what we tell ourselves keep us locked in our anger prison.

Often, we become angry because we don’t get our ways. We have not learnt the art of allowing, tolerating, accommodating and accepting differences in views, values, mannerisms and perspectives.

Sometimes we become angry because current word or event triggers off some childhood abuse, fear or anxiety.But, the ultimate objective of all forms of anger is to try to control the behavior of the other person. We use anger to intimidate, manipulate and subdue the other person.

Anger becomes most dangerous when it hardens our hearts and makes us so self-righteous that we cannot see our fault. What we cannot see, in ourselves, we cannot change. When we refuse to apologize for our anger we imprison ourselves in our own self-righteousness. We stand on our pride. We harden our heart. But when we start to say “I am sorry,” we begin to unburden our heart and release ourselves from our own imprisonment. Somehow the chain is removed. The shackle is broken. Sure some will take advantage of our apology but the heavy burden of being locked up in our own anger is lightened. Apology unlocks our heart for the reconciliation to begin.

Easy to talk, but, how do we tame our hot temper? I believe in Jesus Christ so I go to Him for help. You may like to research into your respective religious faith in Bahai, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Jains, Judaism, Sikhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, etc, for help.

1) Admit that we are in trouble
If people can easily trigger us into temper, sulking, impatience, or nagging then we have to admit that “I am out of control with my temper.” When we use temper so readily it becomes a form of emotional abuse. It also means that we are unable to discipline ourselves. We have lost self-control. We have not learnt to separate the important from the little things. We have not learnt to let the small stuff go.
Yes, we can find thousands of reasons why we are so easily provoked into uncontrollable anger and hold on to the anger right into the night. But, unless we recognize and admit that we have trouble with our hot temper, we will never start to tame our temper. As St James has advised, “Are any among you in trouble? They should pray.” (James 5:13 TEV)

2) Pray and Ask Jesus (or your God) for help
When we pray to God, we will hear that “He speaks to us in our affliction” (Job 36:15 NIV), provided we be still and quietly listen. Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given to you” (Matthew 7:7 NJB) and often, “It is because you do not pray that you do not receive; when you do pray and do not receive, it is because you prayed wrongly, wanting to indulge your passions.” (James 4:2-3 NJB) Therefore, pray to God to repent and to motivate us to restrain our temper. We will succeed and we will fail also. But, we tame our temper one incident at a time. We are always tempted to give up trying as restraining our temper can take a very long time to succeed. But God will strengthen us to control our temper if we will pray for the Holy Spirit as the Helper, Counselor and Comforter to come to our aid. Jesus teaches that we “need to pray continually and never lose heart” (Luke 18:1 NJB). Prayer is the magical aid when we feel like giving up. Daily prayer will sustain, strengthen and encourage us not to give up.
Furthermore, we must admit that, often, our hot temper arises from nothing more than our resentment. Where there is resentment, there is a hardening of the heart and there is no forgiveness in our hearts. But, we must not forget that, “if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.” (Matthew 6:15 TEV) So it is very important for us to repent and ask Jesus to help us to forgive. A forgiven person forgives, so it is vital that we learn to forgive ourselves also.
One practical way of forgiving is to pray for the one who hurts us, who causes us pain, or even harm. Jesus advises us to, ”pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:28 TEV) and “pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44 NJB).

3) Stop before the temper gets ugly
Anger is a choice. It is a choice to stop a disagreement before it gets ugly. It is a choice to stop and pray because we can sense the anger starting to boil inside and that our hearts are beginning to harden. If we want to control our anger, we should, “be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to human anger” (James 1:19 NJB).
The earlier we agree, the easier it is to stop the quarrel and the anger from developing. As Solomon says, “The start of an argument is like the first break in a dam; stop it before it goes any further.” (Proverbs 17:14 TEV), “Any fool can start arguments;”(Proverbs 20:3 TEV) and “The fool blurts out every angry feeling, but the wise subdues and restrains them.”(Proverbs 29:11 NJB) Jesus advises us “Come to terms with your opponent in good time while you are still on the way to the court with him” (Matthew 5:25 NJB).

4) Seek Counseling
If we still find that we unable to tame our temper, it may be time to consider seeking, confessing or asking mature Christians or our priests to counsel us. Why do we need our priests to get involved at this time? Because what we have been doing is not working and we need some outside help. What is needed is the objective counsel of a third party who will minister the Word of God. We need mature guides to show us the way.
The Bible tells us, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall” (Proverbs 11:14 NKJV), “Get good advice and you will succeed” (Proverbs 20:18 TEV) and “Get all the advice you can, and you will succeed; without it you will fail.” (Proverbs 15:22 TEV) So, in order to succeed in taming our temper, we may need the counsel of mature Christians, our priests or appropriate religious writings.

5) Pray to Jesus again and again
To have some success, we have to go to Jesus again and again for help. Sincerely repent our sins of anger. Pray to Jesus to soften our hearts. Daily, pray for forgiveness as we learn to forgive others---“’Lord, if my brother keeps on sinning against me, how many times do I have to forgive him? Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ answered Jesus, ‘but seventy times seven’” (Matthew 18:21-22 TEV)---and choose to take active steps “never let the sun set on our anger or else we will give the devil a foothold.” (Ephesians 4:27 NJB)
We want the best for people when we pray for them. When we truly pray for the grace to forgive people, we will slowly discover that we can no longer remain angry with them. It is most difficult to be angry with an individual and at the same time continue to lift him up in the presence of God. Jesus promises, “And if you have faith, everything you ask for in prayer you will receive.” (Matthew 21:22 NJB)

Misunderstanding

2008-08-26T17:31:00.002+08:00

Sometimes people just don't get what are you talking about or what are you thinking about. They thinks that you are offending them but actually you wants to get things done right and quickly. How funny it is working with people who just have a negative impression of you all the while. Sometimes you have to be a bit more on the firm side to get things done quickly but other people just get mixed up. Anyway, I know how Anwar feels right now. Just can't think of anything because accusations just fired at me one by one like an M-16. It is a shame that I only have power to defend and listen. Anyway, just let time pass through. Now, people have a bad impression of me and I understand them better, just a couple of foxes that you cannot simply trust them.

UiTM

2008-08-14T22:57:00.002+08:00

Just recently, thousands of Universiti Institute Teknologi MARA students paraded the street and launching a protest against the Selangor MB because he made a suggestion to accept 10% of non-bumis into the Uni.

But thousands protesting against a suggestion is really outrageous. Not only they don't have a legal permit to organize a street demonstration, they are disturbing the peace and the harmony of the country. Furthermore, our education minister once said that students who are involved in politics can be charged in court. I wonder how many students get caught in this operation compared to the HINDRAF demonstration last year?

Conclusion: We Malaysians, especially the majority race have a narrow mindset when it comes to racial problems.

Anyway, the non-bumis don't want to enter to this kind of college which...............

TRY 100PLUS & WATER - NOT PANADOL!!!

2008-08-12T23:13:00.003+08:00

Don't take Panadol and Panadol Actifast and Panadol Soluble.
especially you have gastric problems

FYI..... A story

My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patient. And he knows some of the doctors quite well.

The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL (PARACETMOL). In fact,they will turn to Chinese Herbal Medicine or find other alternatives.

This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver. According to the doctor, Panadol will reside in the body for at least 5 years. And according to the doctor, there used to be an incident where an air stewardess consumes a lot of panadol during her menstrual as she needs to stand all the time. She's now in her early 30's, and she needs to wash her kidney (DIALYSIS) every month.

As said by the doctor that whenever we have a headache, that's because it is due to the electron/Ion imbalance in the brain. As an alternative solution to cope with this matter, they suggested that we buy 1 or 2 cans of isotonic drink ( eg.100PLUS), and mix it with drinking water according to a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 (simply, it means one cup 100plus, one cup water.or 2 cups water).

Me and my husband have tried this on several occasions, and it seems to work well.

Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it bring the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.

As Panadol is a pain killer, the more Panadol you take, the lesser would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain).

We all will fall ill as we aged, for woman, we would need to go through childbirth. Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (Pain Killer) when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much more amount of general anesthetic to numb your surgical pain than the average person who seldom or rarely takes Panadol .. If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (Migraine, Menstrual cramps) it is very likely that normal general anesthetic will have no effects on you as your body is pumped
full with panadol and your body is so used to pain killer that you would need a much stronger pain killer, Morphine??

Value your life, THINK b4 you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again. Please send this to people you care about.

A Week from Camp

2008-08-10T23:32:00.002+08:00

A few weeks back, when I knew that you were leaving for the better of your career life, I did not feel like looking ahead as I always do for MPYO music camp.

Now, I just feel like playing more music during the camp, maybe even some dotA or some football(if we have the chance to steal the ball someday and kick it around).

So, conclusion: Life is not that bad after all, just look forward and HOPE.

I will keep myself occupied.

Meeting With The School Admin

2008-08-07T23:16:00.003+08:00

After getting this slip during Physics lesson, we knew that we are going to prepare ourselves mentally to have a meeting with the school admin during the fifth period.

It was a good experience as we are the first group of students who have handed in a feedback or more like a complaint letter to the school. So immediately after physics lesson, we went straight to the toilet because the weather was unusually cold for a day which is not raining but has some haze due to the peat fire near KLIA. Then, we walked towards the PK HEM room where she was waiting for us. She asked where had we gone to, then she replied herself you come straight from your class?(there is a staircase where we came from). We just said yes to save the hassle.

The meeting in the meeting room of Pn Ya's office was undeniably successful. Those who attended were: Pn Lee KL, Pn Ya, Pn Lim YK , Pn Kok, Pn Joyce, Mr Lean and the three of us. If this is a debate session, we will be seriously outnumbered, but luckily it was just a dialog session between us.

We started of with the toilet issue which is bothering us for more than a year. The thing that surprises me is the school actually didn't know there were no locks for the boys toilet for over a year. They didn't know that the flushes were not working, they didn't know the pail of water has no dipper. Anyway, we manage to inform them of all these troubles we are facing, so they said they will renovate ALL the toilets in December, use a pump system rather than a flush system which works faster. More cleaning jobs like now to maintain the cleanliness of the toilet. I hope they will not forget to put on temporary locks for the students as we did not discuss about this matter. I hope they will ask somebody from the World Toilet Organization (WTO) to talk about how to use the toilet properly.

The pigeon issue in the canteen was raised as well. The fact that students that uses the canteen always have leftover food on the table. The food attracted to a flock of pigeons who come and feed on the leftovers and in return, leave some of their dangerous, bacteria, virus infected shit that is harmful on the table as well as on the floor. Scare tactics do not work on the pigeons anymore. The only way after we discussed is the cooperation between canteen workers, clean up the place fast, students not to leave their plates or whatever bones or rice on the table. So the school authority will have a meeting with the canteen about this issue to ensure that our canteen is clean and pest free. Btw, pigeons feeding on our food is really fat, we can conclude that our canteen food is nutritious. If someday, somebody who is crazy enough can take home a flock of pigeons to make some pigeon bakar and sell it in a restaurant, that will be cool.

This is not the sequence of order on the issues we talk about. So about the so called 'cat shit' outside the ABM room or on the staircase in Block D, it is actually 'musang' shit because cat shit should be full of odour. According to the school, the musang is living somewhere up on the mountain terrain of our school(I think near the surau) and it would only come out at night. The school did ask pest control team to catch the family of musangs but it did not work out. It is some kind of animals which should be deal by professionals because it is quite a rare species, the school can't give orders to the workers to get rid of it. So, its toilet is at the school compound and I have already informed the school that the workers who sweep the floor always come at 9 to sweep the floor. By then, it is already to late because the shit will be well trampled by students into pancakes right after the morning assembly. So, the only solution temporarily is to ask the workers to sweep the floor BEFORE assembly.

Next is the classroom cleanliness and the maintenance of the classrooms. The school has agreed to educate and give talks on cleanliness and maintenance of tables and chairs, not during school assembly, but more of class per class talks, a smaller number of audience resulting in better efficiency in getting the message across, and speakers consists of students who are influential and have good communication skills. Now the school knows that the monitorial board has flaws inside its system because the prize given to the cleanest classroom in the school is subject to individual standards. Regarding the blackboard and whiteboard issue is up to the teachers to decide because both bring health hazards to students and teachers. The chalk is bad for lungs, but the whiteboard marker ink, made from some benzene polymers are carcinogen and the cost is much higher. So, students should leave this matter to the teacher to discuss.

DVD player in the ABM room will be installed soon as we have discussed about this matter, the school will talk to Pn Lee Li Lian and to get this thing done is much easier than any other problems.

CCTV issue now. Because the school does not feel the need to disclose every action they do, they have informed us that the CCTVs in the school are donated by parents and not funded by PIBG or the board of governors. So, the CCTV installed outside the boys toilet is not suppose to be there because nobody supervised the installation. It will be re-install at somewhere more practical. The school ask us to disclose this issue because a lack of understanding between the school and the students. CCTVs are meant to use as evidence to apprehend students who are found guilty of ponteng, in worse cases such as stealing. So, it does not mean that the principal is looking at the 16 pigeon holes in her office 24/7 but just as evidence against students. It might come useful when outsiders come into the school compound and doing no good to the students, so the main purpose is not as a surveillance on students every second rather used to beef up the security of the school.

The school decided not to form the student council because they have not receive any feedbacks from the students and assumed that the student council will act as an anti-CHS club because no activities will be held if students are not complaining. Instead of forming the student council, a student leader system will be formed. The student leader will be chosen from all club presidents as clubs have better influence on students rather than classes.

So, if you want to see a vast difference in all those problems especially the toilet issue, do come back next year to see the difference as changes in the school compound can only be done after SPM examinations.

The meeting ended at 11 am and it was a huge success as both the school admin and us got to a fair agreement of all the issues mentioned above and we all hope that the school will head towards a right direction in improving the school facilities, student awareness and mindset and relationship between students and the school board.

I would like to apologize for any blog post regarding the rude language used against the school facilities and to thank those who supported this motion and to the school admin to have such an open-minded discussion.

Looking Forward

2008-08-05T23:22:00.002+08:00

This is the best shot ever given by students especially Form 5 to raise and point out their complaints and suggestions to improve the school. Definitely last week's effort was not wasted as the school took notice of struggling students living without basic facilities in their second home. Thanks to all who took part in the petition and all the rapturous support which I personally did not expect but I wish to express my disappointment for those who only know how to oppose the letter yet not do anything to help the school.

Although the three of us may get the procedures of handing in complaint and suggestion letters wrong, we managed to grab the schools attention to mend the flaws that should not be there at the first place if you consider the school as one of the best in Malaysia.

I need to thank Pn. Lim for giving us a chance for us to voice out the students complaints as well as suggestions on how to make the school a better place.

So on Thursday, there will be a dialog session between the three musketeers, the HEM, the principal and our form teacher, maybe as well as others. So, we will try to discuss about the cat shit issue, bird shit on the school canteen tables, canteen time system, CCTVs, toilet system and door locks, DVD in ABM room. I hope we will have time to raise these issues as well as give some useful suggestions and know more about the school planning system.

So if anybody wants to add or bring up any issues that are bothering you, please tell us. THURSDAY IS THE DAY. Don't wait. There may not be any musyawarah going on again this year unless something big really happen.

Love for the country---GONE

2008-07-27T23:09:00.003+08:00

Recently, I have a friend's sister who is applying for PR in Australia, somebody to USA to study, a family migrated to Australia, sacrificing a general manager post in one of the big companies, just to let his children study there and get a PR hopefully in a few years time. All of them are Chinese.

What is happening to people here? Clearly there is something wrong here so they are looking for a better place to stay and live.

Look what has happened recently---UMNO and PAS having discussion of forming an alliance, a Malay and Islamic alliance which can easily turn Malaysia into an Islamic State such as the middle east country, using saddistic Islamic Laws to rule the country and suppress the non-Islamic citizens here(Chinese, Indian plus minority races).

The problem is minority races leaders in the Barisan Nasional alliance to not speak up and defend the race but to acknowledge and bow down to the UMNO supreme, being a coward, somemore applause and support the move. And the person in none other than Liow Tiong Lai from the Malaysian Coward Association(MCA). We all know that this move cannot take place. It will ruin our future.

Even DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang question this move.

"Why Malay unity and not Malaysian unity?"

This proves that Malaysia is all about bumiputera, Malay race and Islamic Affairs. Even Anwar Ibrahim and his counterparts did not utter anything about this move. It means that even after 50 years of independance, top politicians and leaders of the country are still playing the racial cards. Parents teaching the children to be racist. You can always feel a barrier when talking to a friend of another race particular from a bumiputera to a non-bumiputera or vice versa, or from a muslim to a non muslim in this country.

This is really scray to the non bumiputeras or the non muslims in the country, because they fear for their future and life. What is going to happen? The situation is getting from bad to worse.

Mahathir proposed Wawasan 2020 as Malaysia will so called an advanced country in terms of racial progression, ethnic unity, growth and agricultural development. Is it going to happen? More likely to have Khairy Jamaluddin as the prime minister(not Najib, Hishammudin, Khir Toyo, Ku Li, or even Mukhriz, his keris is behind all these politicians waiting to be backstab, the first one should be Najib)*just an assumption by someone. Can you believe in him? Oh yes, he is a great person, which person can manipulate the political scene at such a young age of 34? Helping the Pakatan Rakyat to deny BN a two thirds majority almost single handed, making a mockery out of the newspaper everyday. Launching unnecessary protests against the anti government. Being the richest Oxford graduate in the history of Malaysia, even the world!!!

I had enough and sick of these. Bumiputera getting a quota eventhough they are not hardworking and lazy. We as non-bumis never get anything, not even a single cent to build a chinese or indian school thanks to 'top-class' leaders being corrupted and not fight for a single cent for schools around them. Bumiputera gets a 7% discount buying properties, have a quota of more than two thirds to land themselves a property. Government loan which as almost zero percent interest rate. Yet, they are still complaining and we minority races have to feed them with high tax, get funds for our school children to built their school, fight for a chance to enter a local university, not even get a JPA scholarship because you need straight 1As.

Temples and religious believes are limited in this country. Here we have loud alarm clocks to wake you up at 6 in the morning. I don't mind that, saving money from buying an alarm clock. But what pisses me off is the demolition of temples especially Hindu temples. We have witnessed a few temples demolished in the middle of the night even though people were still in the temple. Indians have tried to stop the temple from demolished by standing in front of the tractor but they don't care whether are you human, they just continue their operation even though you bloodied your head saving the temple in vain.

I am just sick of the country. If Malays get to rule by breaking up BN, forming Pakatan UMNO PAS, we are as good as dead. So. leave the country if you have the chance. It is not point living here: wrong stats of inflation percentage, controlled media, dirty politics(real dirty), racial issues up on the rise, cultural problem(lazy and not innovative), economy on the plunge, never ending dramas.

Leave.

Leave.

Leave.

Another 10 CCTVs in the school

2008-07-21T17:18:00.002+08:00

What the hell is Lee Kim Lai doing in her office?
Installing a CCTV outside the boys toilet, at least 5 in the canteen, 3 at the reading corner, two at the school gates. Whats next? In her own office or Lim Yoke Kheng's office?

THIS IS A SCHOOL, NOT A PRISON.

Whats the point of wasting so much money installing CCTVs. Do you mean that when the camera caught some student pointing his or her hand cock then he or she will be sent to discipline room for further action? Basically, installing so many cameras around the school does not help improving discipline. Better use the money to install door locks in the boys toilet. So pitiful, only one is lockable and we need to use the chain to lock it by pulling it when we shit. SHAME ON THE SCHOOL. We pay PIBG funds for better toilets and not more cameras.

Damn it, prison school, even if you need to go to the toilet you must ask for an A4 size pass from the teacher and hang in around your neck for lower secondary students. WORSE than a prison inmate wearing its criminal number(smaller in size). Absolutely disgraceful.

CHIAK SAI........

CCTV outside CHS boys toilet?

2008-07-09T23:15:00.002+08:00

Ridiculous is the word.

I wonder whether is Lee Kim Lai or Lim Yoke Kheng's idea to put a stupid CCTV outside the boys toilet situated in the E block?

Is this called security in school?
If you put CCTVs near the school gates, I would have understand, but a big CCTV just outside the boys toilet? Which pervert wants to look at boys naked in the toilet? The angle of the CCTV is so accurate that if you use the law light travels in a straight line, you can actually see into the boys toilet.

So today, someone just nudge the camera a little upwards so that the school staff or probably discipline teachers will look at lizards peeing or mating rather than looking at school boys unzipping their pants.

"Good job" PTA for collecting money from students to spy on their privacy.

Title?

2008-07-08T23:10:00.002+08:00

Things just happen so quickly. Snap! Something just happened.

Lately, I have get to know more of myself. People change and grow. So do I.

I am never the same Sakai as a few years ago. I am beginning to see life as life and not fantasies.

Fear of strong points has become one's weakness.

Overcoming one's weakness has become a good point.

I just got to move on. The future must be build on the past. Just cannot throw away my past.

Confidence and motivation. Thats the key for me to unlock the magnificent world.

Good luck to us all.

Sadness will bring happiness.

Failure will bring success( does not mean I fail in that)

In the end, when I fall, it will be the past of a successful story i hope.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Why my predictions are so accurate?
I just don't understand.

Am I human?
Maybe the worse type.

Nothing much to say.
Tears will tell you all.

Guess I am just too stupid

Protest of Petrol Fuel Hike in Malaysia

2008-07-06T23:28:00.002+08:00

Why the government won't allow peaceful protest?
Why is the police officers blocking major roads across KL, creating massive traffic jams?
Why are they stopping cars and motorbikes and even buses during peak office hours of Saturdays?
Why are the police checking vehicles in the middle of a peaceful night?
Is there a night protest?
What are those police doing sitting below the tent and doing nothing?
Don't they have anything to do?
Why during normal days we don't see police patrolling our areas, allowing crime to happen?
What are they doing during normal days?
Why are armies employed in the middle of the city rather than riot police?
Why they want to create a traffic jam instead of improving traffic flow?
What are they doing?
You call them police?
Aren't they fat and useless?

Because they are simply corrupted and lazy.

Auditions.....

2008-07-04T23:10:00.002+08:00

Auditions are one of the most important thing in a musicians career and life. If you failed your auditions, the chances of landing a job or a position will be less, your reputation will be affected if you are the favorite for the job.

MPYO internal auditions just round the corner. I hope everybody in the orchestra will really work hard to retain their membership. I believe Kevin will definitely retain everybody if we show him that we are committed and willing to work hard. To get new members in, shuffle all old members is not going to work well, it may take a long time to rebuild, to get the energy and sound cohesive as a unit. This time we will definitely see some new members joining the orchestra, hopefully 4 more cellist, we cellist are simply working overloaded with 8 of us last time.

I would welcome any successful cellist into our section. Good luck to us all old members and for auditions for other cellist, its in November, get yourself prepared!!!!!

Still very nervous to play in an audition although he knows me inside out having sitting under of his nose for the past one half years, smelling my rosin dust.

Practice, practice and practice. Such beautiful music...................

Woes of a Family Man

2008-07-03T23:36:00.002+08:00

Scene 1

Wife: Today, I will cook chicken for dinner tonight.
Mum: No, pork is better.
Wife: Why? Long time never eat chicken, we just ate pork two days ago.
Mum: Haiya, I prefer pork, I want to eat pork tonight. I will cook.
Wife: Why should you cook? Go and watch your favourite tv drama series, let me prepare dinner.
Mum: If prepare pork, then I cook!!!
Wife: You are old, should not do so much work. Who says we are eating pork tonight? Chicken, chicken and chicken. Tomorrow you cook.
Mum: No! Who says old people can't cook? I am more experienced than you. You think your food taste very nice.
Wife: Who says not nice? If not nice, then you don't eat lah(gets really angry). You think your food very healthy, pork, pork, pork. Everyday only like to eat pork.
Mum: I don't know why you are my daughter in law, so disrespectful.(angry)

Scene 2

Mum: Why you put the sofa here. Feng Shui not good.
Wife: Safe space mah.
Mum: Feng shui not good, must change. (Call the kakak to shift the sofa)
Wife: Eh, this is my house or your house? old woman.
Mum: Feng shui not good, in the future you pokkai.

After both scenes,

Wife: You support your mum or me?
Mum: You support me or your wife?
Man: Eeerrrrrr.................*thinks (if i support my mum, my wife will leave me. If I support my wife, my mum will say that I am not a filial son. What to do?)

I advise: Stay with your wife under a different roof from your parents, but never forget to visit your parents frequently.

Conclusion: One roof two women, big argument, big headache for the man.

Getting famous?

2008-07-02T23:28:00.003+08:00

Seems like my class blog is getting more and more famous among teachers and students.

Sometimes I wish that Malaysia is more like a European country rather than still hiding under its Kepulauan Melayu state which is pathetic compared to the more advanced countries.

What makes my blog and my class blog famous to teachers?

Because teachers don't accept the freedom of speech. They think that by blogging, it is a backstabing way. But remember how our Malaysian ancestors fought their way to independence. They fought by writing and publishing newspapers, novels, articles, magazines, propaganda. What the hell is all these?

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Anything students don't like. They will always voice out through talking to friends or the new way, talking to friends through blogs. It is just a modern way of expressing and not considered as backstabbing. Teachers are too accustomed towards the Malaysian controlled media, not allowing what is opposing to speak up.

Another one is SOME teachers are just too exam oriented and marking scheme orientated. Somehow exam is like a god to them, only teach what is in the syllabus and not base on the useful facts of life. Malaysian students are not trained to think, we are trained to follow and memorize nonsense.
Example they ask a question about your opinion, it still has a marking scheme and once you write anything logical but not according to the scheme, you are not awarded any marks.
If your opinion must be based on a boundary which is so small, there will be no breakthrough in the Malaysian world, we won't be able to compete with other countries.

Somehow students who wants to win or get more marks for their exam will ask their teachers in front of everybody why is this so and why why why. Teachers will always think that we are a nuisance creating a lot of noise, even snapping at us telling us that the marking scheme is so on and not willing to bend a little or even take the matter up to the head of the subject to discuss and hence make the student-teacher relation far better than nowadays. Whats wrong with many students asking the answers?

Aren't we meant to ask more? If there is no WHY in this world, then there will be no science. No wonder Malaysia fail to produce good quality scientist because they are so book orientated or should we call ourselves photocopy machine?

Wawasan 2020, a country who only follows and never take the lead. Thats the motto....

Anwar Ibrahim Sodomy?

2008-06-30T23:16:00.002+08:00

Why is Anwar targetted as a victim of all this nonsense?

Almost exactly ten years ago, he suffered the same fate, charge for sodomy and corruption. Even the wicked and wily creature Tun Dr Mahathir admitted that he was thrown in prison because of his growing power and influence among UMNO members and speculation that he was going to contest for the President's post. He did nothing wrong, yet suffered the cruelty of the ISA, beating like a pulp with a blue black eye.

Look at his face. Full of vengance looks. Is this keadilan for a man who did so much for the country?

He definitely changed after seeing the way those who are in power treat those who are powerless. Just like a gang of morons beating up a dog. He is so determined to overthrow the government, working hard before elections, during elections and after elections. I wonder which political figure is behind the scene of this incident?

Why is he the target and not Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, Nik Abdul Nik Aziz from PAS?

Because DAP is too pro-chinese, PAS is to pro-Islam. Chinese will never vote for PAS, scared of them taking over and changing Malaysia to use old-Islamic laws.

Malays and Indians fear DAP depriving them of their rights hence leaving the Chinese to rule the country.

Without the Anwar led PKR factor which is an alliance between the two big opposition power houses, it seems impossible to deny BN a majority two third in the elections let alone taking over the government. Now people of Malaysia including UMNO members and leaders felt that the changing wind is getting stronger and a possible takeover of the government can be done or 'bought' by turning the 30 MPs against their dominant masters-BN.

Question is, who masterminded everything? Anwar's wife, president of PKR? His daughter with a million dollar smile, Nurul Izzah? NO
ANWAR himself did all the work eventhough he is not eligible to contest. He went to six places a day during the campaigning period, travelled to four places every night just to give ceramahs, helping not only his own party, but also for DAP and PAS, forming the new alliance Pakatan Rakyat. SMART MAN. Turning 30% of the Malays against UMNO, 90% of the indians against MIC, half of the chinese against MCA and Gerakan.

I am sure UMNO leaders are feeling it right after the election tsunami, thinking of a way to stop those 30 MPs to crossover, making plenty of accusations, thinking of a way to stop him from returning to power. Although it might not be UMNO behind the scene, it may be an individual trying to act as hero doing all these for the benefit of BN, but with this picture, it is highly doubtful that this case just happen because he is guilty.

Aide in the Deputy Prime Minister's Office with a BIG SMILE?

Forcing a family man to leave his family for a possible second time because of stupid allegations and bribery. You call youself human? How to face you almighty god? How many years you have in your life? Can you take your power of Malaysia to your heaven? How corrupted are you?

If you have thought of these, no man would have tried to split a family into two. I just hope the Turkey Embassy is safe enough for him for the time being.

Shooting Stars Part Two

2008-06-28T23:19:00.004+08:00

I will never condemn anybody if the person does not do anything to make me feel angry, disturb, or uneasy. For this case, I think I just need to blog about this so that i can share what i have thought about and expressed my unhappiness over this matter.

Luckily, the school does not have its Press, Publication and Printing Act(PPPA) which enables me to write whatever i feel not righteous to the human world in things happening in school. I need not fear the fear of the government detaining bloggers such as Raja Petra when he accused a well known minister of something true but infuriate the minister and finally detained under the Internal Security Act(ISA) of sedition act. Holy shit, sedition act? A personal statement accusing a specific person can turn the whole country upside down? Breach Malaysia's security like Taliban movements? Hell not.

Back to the real matter. Michael my EST teacher's bullshitting has been getting on everybody's nerve. If you are trying to impart some knowledge to us, FINE, but your bullshitting antics are really getting out of hand, making a fool out of yourself the more you bullshit, the more you talk and the more you act. You think that you aren't an idiot in the world because you are MATUARE!!!!, knows how to change a spare tyre, read newspaper everyday, knows a lot about biology, chemistry and physics, knows where to get cheap chao kuey teow, runs penang half marathon. Blah blah blah............... I just can't go on, too much to say about him.

But I have a statement.
Those who are normal will call idiots 'idiot', those who are idiots will call those who are normal 'idiots'. If you don't get what I mean, just imagine Michael calling Bill Gates an idiot who does not know how to CHAO KUEY TEOW.

All his words contradict. For example, we sat for our EST exam BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS, approximately 5 weeks from now. -Remember this sentence-
He said that he haven't finish marking our papers. AS USUAL, plenty of excuses ranging form he needs to meet his friends in Penang, attending stupid camps, his friends died...........He said EST is the easiest subject to mark, because he claimed that we write stupid and childish answers(he expect some scientific report or so because he thinks that every child is born to be an idiot like him), he says he does not even have to look at the whole paper and he will just give a mark less than 7 out of 30 for the essay part. Fine!!!! If you want students to reach that level, we will accept your statement and work hard to achieve what you call a scientific and professional level of essay writing. BUT!!!

He SAID ' I CAN FINISH MARKING THE PAPER IN 4 DAYS

What did he say? 4 days ? How many days from the day we sat our paper? A whooping 5 weeks man!!!!!! 5 weeks!!!!!
I repeat 5 weeks!!!!!!!!

4 days? Even if you tried to lie to a 3 year old kid, the kid will question you, idiot.

Remember he said that if you get many A's for your SPM, you are an idiot. So if you are not aiming for A's in your SPM, what are you doing in school? Wasting your time listening to his stupid lectures? Getting yourself brainwash because every word that comes out from the teachers' mouth is correct? Learning how to be successful like the 'black chinese'? Shouting and bullshitting at every chance he has? If some genius can get into harvard and graduate with first class honour, he is an idiot according to Michael, but not to those companies who are raring to get his signature to work for the company. Can Michael do that? Not in a hundred years. For he only have the talent to bullshit and make himself look stupid in front of those who think.

If YOU EVER HAPPEN TO READ THIS, I THINK YOU SHOULD STEP OFF THE LINE AS YOUR HISTORY OF BULLSHITS ARE ENGRAVED INTO OUR THICK HEADS.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!! PISSING PEOPLE AROUND YOU AIN'T A GOOD THING!!!!!!

Excellent Article on Cancer

2008-06-24T23:14:00.002+08:00

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw v egetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea,ea and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

Quotes from Lee Kim Lai

2008-06-23T23:13:00.002+08:00

These are quotes from Catholic High School's principal, Lee Kim Lai during the assembly:

'Kalau nak bercakap di bawah ketika saya bercakap, marilah berdiri di sini di tepi saya dan kami bercakap bersama-sama'

'Boy, duduk dengan baik-baik'

'Pada suatu hari, apabila saya berada di pejabat saya, telinga saya sangat sakit, sebab ada pelajar yang menjerit-jerit di Blok B, kadang kala Blok A and juga Blok D'

'Screaming and shouting is not a culture for Catholic High School students'

She is such an amplifier, sending boring waves across the assembly ground, hypnotising all students with her monotone voice.

She even thinks that Malay language is the bahasa rasmi of the country, thats why everytime she speaks in Malay. What a disgrace, she is pure chinese!!!!!! Please speak some English or Chinese as we are Malaysian Chinese.

For heaven sake, is she having PMS? Guess not!

171 days to go to merdeka

2008-06-18T23:34:00.002+08:00

146 days, thats how close Spm is. A hell lot of syllabus needs to be covered. Plus, auditions for conservatories. MPYO auditions. I am going bananas overnight.

Time just flies bye without you noticing it. You may never know the importance of getting a good result in your exams. An 'A' might make all the difference in getting a scholarship or not. Balancing between studies and music equally is a really diffcult task, especially if you are aiming for a good result.

My brains are not working now, congested by the exams. Till now, I am very lucky to have a busy life ahead until next year.

98% of Luthiers don't talk the truth

2008-06-15T23:31:00.002+08:00

Luthiers always boast about their own instruments and look down on other makers' instrument, finding faults almost every nanometers of the instrument.

What is the point of measuring the instrument from top to bottom, making stupid comments on it, not even trying out the sound, and just make a bloody conclusion that your instrument is a rubbish one.

Can't a 22 year old instrument looks shiny? Cant the player just re varnish the instrument?
And
Whats the point of making a suggestion that you have not touch the instrument enough, that is why it is still so clean.

Every instrument differs from its wood and dimensional structure. How it produces a good sound does not depend on the standard measurement. Those measurements are more of a guidelines for makers to construct their instrument based on their experience and expertise. Every instrument vibrates differently. You just can't tell the sound of the instrument unless you tried on it and to make adjustments, you need to try, adjust, try, adjust again until you are sastisfied.

Italians are just too proud of themselves. Selling instruments not worth its value, plus prices of Strads are just going up by folds because of stupid auctions and stupid bidders who will give everything to own such an instrument.

My advice is go to Luthiers who do not make their own instruments for repairing services so they will treat you fairly in terms of service and price. Contact me if you want somebody good.

Abu Bakar Embong, Love machine

2008-06-13T19:36:00.004+08:00

Abu Bakar Embong, the man who was allowed by the Syariah Court to marry his fourth wife is an ASSHOLE. How can a man split his love for 4 wives? His 3 wives says that he is a good husband. (COUGHING, CHOKING)* His wives Asnah Jusoh, 46, Mazumi Ismail, 45 and 25-year-old Norazlina Ariffin not only agreed to the marriage scheduled for the end of this month, they also agreed to let their husband spend more time with his new bride.

If a man truly loves his wife, how can he marry another one? Not only one, but the fourth one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, his fourth wife, a lady 30 years his junior. I think he is just obsess with sex, proven by his 25 children. Now he plans to have 40. WADAHEL??????????

If you split 40 by 4 wives, each wive got to SUPPLY him with 10 children. Getting pregnant 10 times(maybe five times if you get twins). Why did he take a fourth wife, to continue his mission of 40 children and more sex for the coming 20 years?(since his first two wives are quite old)

Where does he get all the money to feed his children? The government providing assistance to bumiputras? He is just a real estate agent earning a reportedly 20k per month. Planning to set up his football team to compete in Malaysia's Super Liga as Embong FC? Now they have their full team of players, just needing a few more for staff assistance.

I think somebody needs to educate him about the overpopulated world and the number of carbon emissions if he manage to get to his 40 mark target. The optimum number of people in this world is 1 billion. For a couple, not couple, quintuple to produce so many kids must be fun. Sex everynight. Just 90 months of labour per wife(9 months x 10 children). Not an easy task!!!!! But he only knows how to enjoy himself. SELFISH guy!!!

How does he even split his time between all his wives? One per night? Or maybe two per night, having a threesome. Four is most unlikely because he can't have a BANANA SPLIT right?

This is absolutely terrible. Maybe he is just challenging or following Prophet M's footsteps.

For me, this is not an act of a true loving, caring family. Just a disgrace to be put up in the newspaper for people's joke.

Nobody in the right mind can split their love into four parts. Totally outrageous!!!!

Jamboree 2008 At DFP

2008-06-12T23:24:00.002+08:00

As usual, each season of the MPO ends with a recital by students of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra called the Musical Jamboree to showcase their talent and the efforts of the tutors from the MPO.

This year, I am involved in this program playing in the Encounter String Ensemble performing Mozart's most famous serenade, Eine Kleine Nactmusik Meneutto and Allegro. I think that this music is one of the most difficult music to interpret in terms of its classical nature( real simple) its flow of the music and the tightness of the ensemble in terms of articulation, dynamics and character. Everybody needs to be the same in all these to make a good ensemble. Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra uses players who graduated from Curtis Institute of music. All of their players have the same teacher, guidance and technique. To assemble such an orchestra, you can already predict its cohesion between players and therefore compare to Russian orchestras which have a superb string section because the teaching method, technique, interpretation is all the same.

For this piece of music, in my opinion, the ensemble must sound as though as it is playing in a church and the continuity of the piece must be there, not to held back, needs to move. I feel that so many times I played it, none of it really satisfy me, still looking for more chances to play it in the future

Many of us thinks that it is an easy piece. But the more you play, the more you can learn and experience its complexity written in a simple way. It should not be considered as a beginner or an easy piece for amateurs. It is never boring to play it many times in your entire life.

Anyway, this is the third time I am playing in the Jamboree. Memories still floats around in my head, first time in 2004, playing in a string orchestra with Dylan as desk partner.
2nd was in 2005, playing Mozart's Clarinet Quintet first movement with Casey Koh. First time playing in an ensemble, was good experience because all the other four players were of very high standard, makes me learn more things. Everybody got to start from somewhere, but it was a really good start for me.

Now, third time coming. Hope many will enjoy this Sunday 15 June, 10.30 a.m. Dress code- smart casual.

Past Few Days

2008-06-11T23:19:00.002+08:00

Exams exams exams for most of the students. Cracking their heads to memorize facts for history, biology. Staying up late just to do add maths.............

For me, it is different. Sleeping quite early app 12.00 am waking up in the middle of the night just to catch Euro 2008. Here is the few matches that I have watched:

Switzerland vs Czech
Portugal vs Turkey
Germany vs Poland(2nd half)
Croatia vs Austria( 1st 15 minutes)
Holland vs Italy(the best)
Spain vs Russia( watching now)

Matches that I have missed:
France vs Romania (boring)
Sweden vs Greece

So many matches watched eventhough it is exam time now!!!!
Waking up at 2.45 just to catch a great match. No regrets for the Holland match. Absolutely superb attacking football.

After Euro 2008, I guess I need to study more. Spm in 153 days. Still half baked in terms of many subjects.

One weird thing is I seldom have dreams when I sleep. During this past two days, I had two in my afternoon nap. One of them is a very good dream, the latter one is a nightmare. It reflects something I fear because it has never happen to me before. Maybe just a path that I should not take or must be careful if I reach that part of my life. Life is perfect without regrets, so I must be careful planning every step in my life.

Back to football again, Portugal vs Czech match is starting soon. Bye...

How To Study For Exam During Euro 2008

2008-06-06T23:53:00.002+08:00

Am I skipping Euro 2008 because I have school exams?

NO WAY!!!!!!

4 years once, what about school exams? One year thrice!!!

Which is more important?

For me, definitely Euro 2008, the passion of football wins over the hunger of getting good results for school exam.

Of course, i will study during the period, but i need to change a little bit of my sleeping pattern. I need to sleep at least three hours in the afternoon, so that I can sleep three hours less at night watching the football matches. HAHAHAHA! Study during matches? It doesn't work for me. At night? Maybe, but I still got to practise my cello.

I don't think I will be able to really sit down and study the subjects, expect me to sleep during exam time, even add maths paper.

Just can't wait for the football fever to start.

Holland, Germany and Spain!!!!! ALL THE WAY

Oil Price Hike

2008-06-04T23:09:00.002+08:00

Petrol price hiking up to RM 2.70 on 5 June 2008, up 78 sen.

Personally, I think it is a good move by Shahrir because if crude price keeps on rising and if we don't follow suit, this whole country will be practically dead in two years time. Pak Lah was just unlucky to be Prime Minister when Bush invaded Iraq for oil, pushing the oil price up every second. He has no chance of surviving if he sticked to the old price of RM1.10.

Speaking of rising petrol prices, Malaysians are idiots. Getting out of their houses just to pump petrol at any available kiosk, lining up MILES MILES away. Making so much noise and a massive traffic build up in front of my house. Can't they just think, stupid Malaysians, pumping petrol today and tomorrow makes just a little difference. The oil price is not going to drop, it is long term increasing, just to save RM 20 and wait for a queue for 45 minutes is not worth it. Plus, you will get stressed up in the traffic jam.

Big big traffic jam and panic KL city. The government should set a quota for cars on the road and also improve the public transport sistem not just only in the city but linking to other parts of Selangor as well.

Let us expect a rise in every item, let us consumers suffer from inflation as well as environmental factors!

Bruises

2008-06-03T23:36:00.002+08:00

Oh man, does that hurt! You're flying along on your bike, gliding through the park on your in-line skates, or chasing down a loose ball on the soccer field. Life couldn't be better! Suddenly, it all comes to a screeching halt. You've taken that hill too quickly on your bike, lost your balance on your blades, or someone on the other soccer team has missed the ball completely and kicked you right in the shin. The pain is bad enough, but the bruise left behind is pretty ugly. It's nothing new; you've had a bruise or two before. But what exactly is a bruise?

What Is a Bruise?
A bruise, also called a contusion (pronounced: kun-too-zhen) or an ecchymosis (pronounced: eh-ky-moe-sis), happens when a part of the body is struck and the muscle fibers and connective tissue underneath are crushed but the skin doesn't break. When this occurs, blood from the ruptured capillaries (small blood vessels) near the skin's surface escapes by leaking out under the skin. With no place to go, the blood gets trapped, forming a red or purplish mark that's tender when you touch it - a bruise. Bruises can happen for a lot of reasons, but are mostly the result of bumping and banging into things - or having things bump and bang into you. Fortunately, as anyone who's ever sported a shiner knows, the mark isn't permanent.

How Long Do Bruises Last?
You know how a bruise changes color over time? That's your body fixing the bruise by breaking down and reabsorbing the blood, which causes the bruise to go through many colors of the rainbow before it eventually disappears. You can pretty much guess the age of a bruise just by looking at its color:
When you first get a bruise, it's kind of reddish as the blood appears under the skin.
Within 1 or 2 days, the hemoglobin (an iron-containing substance that carries oxygen) in the blood changes and your bruise turns bluish-purple or even blackish.
After 5 to 10 days, the bruise turns greenish or yellowish.
Then, after 10 or 14 days, it turns yellowish-brown or light brown.
Finally, after about 2 weeks, your bruise fades away.

Who Gets Bruises?
Anyone can get a bruise. Some people bruise easily, whereas others don't. Why? Bruising depends on several things, such as how tough a person's skin tissue is, whether a person has certain diseases or conditions, or whether a person's taking certain medications. Also, blood vessels tend to become fragile as people get older, which is why elderly people tend to bruise more easily.

What Can I Do to Help Myself Feel Better?
It's hard to prevent bruises, but you can help speed the healing process. When you get a bruise, you can use stuff you find right in your freezer to help the bruise go away faster. Applying cold when you first get a bruise helps reduce its size by slowing down the blood that's flowing to the area, which decreases the amount of blood that ends up leaking into the tissues. It also keeps the inflammation and swelling down. All you have to do is apply cold to the bruise for half an hour to an hour at a time for a day or two after the bruise appears.

You don't need to buy a special cold pack, although they're great to keep on hand in the freezer. Just get some ice, put it in a plastic bag, and wrap the bag in a cloth or a towel and place it on the bruise (it isn't such a good idea to apply the ice directly to the skin). Another cool trick is to use a bag of frozen vegetables. It doesn't matter what kind - carrots, peas, lima beans, whatever - as long as they're frozen. A bag of frozen vegetables is easy to apply to the bruise because it can form to the shape of the injured area. Also, like a cold pack, it can be used and refrozen again and again (just pick your least favorite vegetables as it's not a good idea to keep thawing and freezing veggies that you plan to eat!).

Another way to help heal your bruise is to elevate the bruised area above the level of your heart. In other words, if the bruise is on your shin, lie down on a couch or bed and prop up your leg. This will slow the flow of the red blood cells to the bruise because more of the blood in your leg will flow back toward the rest of your body instead of leaking out into the tissues of your leg. If you keep standing, more blood will flow to your bruised shin and the bruise will grow faster.
Minor bruises are easily treated, but it's probably best to talk to a doctor if:

A bruise doesn't go away after 2 weeks.
You bruise often and you haven't been bumping into things.
Bruises seem to develop for no known reasons.
A bruise is getting more painful.
Your bruise is swelling.
You can't move a joint.
The bruise is near your eye.

Can Bruises Be Prevented?
Bruises are kind of hard to avoid completely, but if you're playing sports, riding your bike, in-line skating, or doing anything where you might bump, bang, crash, or smash into something - or something might bump, bang, crash, or smash into you - it's a good idea to wear protective gear like pads, shin guards, and helmets. Taking just a few extra seconds to put on that gear might save you from a couple of weeks of aches and pains (not to mention save your life if the accident's really serious)!

My future where it lies?

2008-05-18T12:30:00.003+08:00

Amazing how things can get into your mind while you are.

I was actually thinking about my future, my career, my aim to be a professional orchestra cellist. Most of us think that if you have graduated from a university with a degree, the chances of getting a job(moderately paid) are quite high. Look at those who graduated from Universiti Malaya, you can be a chemical engineer, doctor, lawyer or any form of profession. BUT. To become a professional orchestra cellist, it is a whole lot harder than you think.

My aim of becoming one of the cellist in a major symphony orchestra( New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Hong Kong Phil.......... down to the MPO, definitely not RTM or NSO) will be one of my biggest challenge in life.

Getting into a good conservatory to study music performance is not an easy task, example getting into Yale Conservatory to study under Aldo Parisot and Ole Akahoshi, you got to play either Haydn D concerto first movement or Haydn C third movement, Shostakovich Concerto 1 first movement or Prokofiev Concertante, and Boccherini Sonata A major second movement or Vallentini Sonata. These repertoire are killing technically speaking. To be able to join the legendary Yale Cellists, you got to fend off hundreds of applicants vying for the few Undergraduate spots available, therefore you got to be at your best. You have to play like a professional already. Hard work everyday does not guarantee you a place whereas you can study in any colleges in Malaysia if you have some form of money, studying what you like.

After four years of Undergraduate studies, comes the main headache. Finding a job for youself.

As I have said, my aim is to become an orchestral player. How hard would it be?
Lets say, if you want to be an MPO player(cellist, tutti), you have to be at least slightly better than most of the MPO tutti cellist to squeeze in for a seat. No doubt it sounds easy, but do you know how freaking good those musicians are? They are GODLIKE. In addition, do you think that you are the only one auditioning for the post. HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!

The situation is worst in leading American Orchestras. Lets say I am looking for the principle cellist post for Baltimore Symphony. First, I have got to be a fantastic cellist. Secondly, auditions for principle cellist is not the same as tutti cellist in terms of repertoire and type of auditions. Thirdly, I am Asian, not just Asian, but South East Asian, not from China, Japan nor Korea.
Racial discrimination always happens in the world.

Most shocking is Chinese from China, Japanese and Koreans are superb in their playing. Imagine a kid at 12 playing Elgar Cello Concerto beuatifully. I doubt any Malaysian can do that. They are just so into it that even Europeans are losing out to them. If 10 chinese are fighting for that post, your chances is as good as over.

So, I will still continue to walk through this path, even though it takes madness to overcome this situation, because this is what I truly like.

Should you have any advice, please give it to me.

what a week

2008-05-16T10:45:00.002+08:00

Yesterday when I was playing scales as a warm up. I was shocked. I hardly play in tune. It must be me not practising it for about like ten days since playing with the Petronas Performing Arts Group. It has been a very tight week for me. Getting up 5.30 in the morning. Sleep in school(can't resist it). Finish school at 1.45pm, rush to the canteen, grab my sandwiches for lunch, run to my father, grab my bag, off to the LRT station to KLCC.

Normally, I will get back home around 11.00 pm or later. Why I took up this hectic job?
Good question, and I have a good answer.
First of all, I get a good pay for this 10 days of madness.
Secondly, I get to see 'someone' for 10 days consecutively
Thirdly, it is a new experience for me, playing some cultural Malaysian music.

If anybody ask you how is Malaysian music, what can you answer if you have not experienced the true Malaysian music. That is called Malaysians who don't know anything about Malaysian music.

Generally speaking, it was a different experience for me. Under the same roof of Petronas Twin Towers, organizations work differently. For instance, the MPO and the MPYO always start their rehearsals on time, nut for PPAG, it is always late and the break time is longer than usual. Maybe it is for accomodating the dancers who have to work physically harder than musicians.

Nonetheless, i had a great time there and a great birthday celebration there too. Thank you darling!!!!!!!!!!

OH GOD, 17 TODAY!@#$%^&*()

2008-05-14T00:04:00.003+08:00

14 MAY 1991

One of the happiest day ever for my parents

SI SAKAI was BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the day that my parents gave birth to their first child, an amateur cellist.

17 years gone by, what have i done during this seventeen years.

May 13 Incident

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The May 13 Incident is a term for the Sino-Malay race riots in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which began on May 13, 1969. These riots continued for a substantial period of time, leading the government to declare a state of national emergency and suspend Parliament until 1971.

Officially, 196 people were killed between May 13 and July 31 as a result of the riots, although journalists and other observers have stated much higher figures. The government cited the riots as the main cause of its more aggressive affirmative action policies, such as the New Economic Policy (NEP), after 1969.

Events leading to 13 May 1969

The May 13 Incident followed the release of results for the 1969 general election, which campaign was bitterly fought among various political parties prior to polling day on 10 May 1969, and party leaders stoking racial and religious sentiments in order to win support. The Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) accused the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) of selling the rights of the Malays to the Chinese, while the Democratic Action Party (DAP) accused Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) of giving in to UMNO. The DAP promoted the concept of a "Malaysian Malaysia", which would deprive the Malays of their special rights under the Constitution. Both the DAP and Singapore's People's Progressive Party (PAP) objected to Malay as the national language and proposed multi-lingualism in its stead.

Senior Alliance politicians, including Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, accused Singapore-based People's Action Party of involvement in the campaign, as it had done during the 1964 general election campaign (at the time when Singapore was part of the Malaysian federation between 1963 and 1965).

The run-up to the election was marred by two deaths: that of an UMNO election agent, who was killed by a group of armed Chinese youths in Penang and that of a member of the Labour Party of Malaya (LPM), who was killed in Kepong, Selangor.

There was a contrast in the handling of these two deaths. The UMNO worker was buried without publicity, the LPM casualty was honoured at a parade on 9 May when some 3000 LPM members marched from Kuala Lumpur to Kepong, violating regulations and trying to provoke incidents with the police. Participants sang Communist songs, waved red flags, and called upon the people to boycott the general election. Amidst this tension, the general election was held on 10 May 1969. Election day itself passed without any incident and the result shows the opposition had tied with the Alliance for control of the Selangor state legislature.

On 12 May, thousands of Chinese marched through Kuala Lumpur, parading through predominantly Malay areas which hurled insults that led to the incident.

Declaration of emergency

Many people in Kuala Lumpur were caught in the racial violence. Dozens were injured and some killed, houses and cars were burnt and wrecked. The violence was largely limited to Kuala Lumpur although there were isolated outbreaks in Melaka, Perak and Penang.

The government ordered an immediate curfew throughout the state of Selangor & Kuala Lumpur. Security forces comprising some 2000 Malay Regiment soldiers and 3600 Police officers were deployed and took control of the situation. Over 300 Chinese families were moved to refugee centres at the Merdeka Stadium and Tiong Nam Settlement.

On 14 May 1969, a state of emergency was declared throughout the country, and on 16 May the National Operations Council (NOC) was established by proclamation of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia) headed by Tun Abdul Razak. With Parliament suspended, the NOC became the supreme decision-making body for the next 18 months. State and District Operations Councils took over state and local government.

The NOC implemented security measures to restore law and order in the country, including the establishment of an unarmed Vigilante Corps, a territorial army, and police force battalions. The restoration of order in the country was gradually achieved. Curfews continued in most parts of the country, but were gradually scaled back. Peace was restored in the affected areas within two months. In February 1971 parliamentary rule was re-established.

Politics in Malaysia at this time were mainly Malay-based, with an emphasis on special privileges for the Malays — other indigenous Malaysians, grouped together collectively with the Malays under the title of "bumiputra" would not be granted a similar standing until after the riots. There had been a recent outburst of Malay passion for ketuanan Melayu — Malay supremacy — after the National Language Act of 1967, which in the opinion of some Malays, had not gone far enough in the act of enshrining Malay as the national language. Heated arguments about the nature of Malay privileges, with the mostly Chinese opposition mounting a "Malaysian Malaysia" campaign had contributed to the separation of Singapore on 9 August 1965, and inflamed passions on both sides.

1969 riots

In the May 10, 1969 general elections, the ruling Alliance coalition headed by the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) suffered a large setback in the polls. The largely Chinese opposition Democratic Action Party and Gerakan gained in the elections, and secured a police permit for a victory parade through a fixed route in Kuala Lumpur. However, the rowdy procession deviated from its route and headed through the Malay district of Kampung Baru, jeering at the inhabitants. Some demonstrators carried brooms, later alleged to symbolise the sweeping out of the Malays from Kuala Lumpur, while others chanted slogans about the "sinking" of the Alliance boat — the coalition's logo.

While the Gerakan party issued an apology the next day, UMNO announced a counter-procession, which would start from the Selangor Chief Minister Harun bin Idris' home in Jalan Raja Muda. Tunku Abdul Rahman would later call the retaliatory parade "inevitable, as otherwise the party members would be demoralised after the show of strength by the Opposition and the insults that had been thrown at them."

Shortly before the procession began, the gathering crowd was reportedly informed that Malays on their way to the procession had been attacked by Chinese in Setapak, several miles to the north.The angry protestors swiftly wreaked revenge by killing two passing Chinese motorcyclists, and the riot began.

The riot ignited the capital Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding state of Selangor — according to Time, spreading throughout the city in 45 minutes— but except for minor disturbances in Melaka the rest of the country stayed calm. A nationwide state of emergency and accompanying curfew were declared on May 16, but the curfew was relaxed in most parts of the country for two hours on May 18 and not enforced even in central Kuala Lumpur within a week.^{[citation needed]}

However, incidents of violence continued to occur in the weeks after May 13, with the targets now not only being Malay or Chinese, but also Indian. Time argued that this showed that "the struggle has become more clearly than ever the Malay extremists' fight for total hegemony." Although violence did not occur in the rural areas, Time found that ethnic conflict had manifested itself in subtler forms, with Chinese businessmen refusing to make loans available for Malay farmers, or to transport agricultural produce from Malay farmers and fishermen.

According to police figures, 196 people died and 149 were wounded. 753 cases of arson were logged and 211 vehicles were destroyed or severely damaged. An estimated 6,000 Kuala Lumpur residents — 90% of them Chinese — were made homeless. Various other casualty figures have been given, with one thesis from a UC Berkeley academic, as well as Time, putting the total dead at ten times the government figure.

Today should be my school's sports day, but I travelled to Kuantan to play for a show.

Early in the morning, I went to the shops(7 eleven) outside the school to get some newspaper to read. Once I stepped in to the shop, I saw a fat figure standing at the newspaper section.
WTF!!!!!!!! Michael!!!!, i said to myself. Shit!!! I quickly walk away to the bus stop in case he saw me not in school. Luckily his back was facing me. If not BOY!!! BOY!!!!

Waiting for the person to fetch me to Kuantan, I sat at Kanna Curry House for 1.5 hours waiting for the cobwebs to appear on my body, reading newspapers. MY GOD! There were so many students from my school loitering around(not in school uniform). Most of them are in Form 4, the girls!!!!OMG!!!!! Talk like 'pasar' woman selling vegetables. Saliva flow from their mouth non stop, as though Teh Tarik really helps you to increase your amount of saliva in their mouths. Can't they shut up for a minute?

Finally, on my way to Kuantan and back from there. I saw 3 major accidents. It was raining going there and coming back. Two accidents were cars skidding off the road and one of them hit the road divider, the other one fell into a small drain. Luckily, it was not too serious. The serious one is a van which burst into flames. I don't know how it happened, but when I got there, it was already half burnt.

Another thing that I want to mention is Arne Neckelmann, former Principal Cellist of the MPO) is back in Malaysia performing in Puchong tomorrow.

I also manage to read a blog by Kett Chuan which is interesting. go visit

What Is Happening to Malaysia

What is happening to Malaysia now?

What is happening to the law makers of Malaysia?
Becoming a morning market?
Labelling each other with all sorts of animals?
Big Foot From Kinabatangan, says Karpal Singh

What did the ex president of Persatuan Bunga Tanjung(PBT), Puan Sri Chiu, Tan Sri Koh Tzu Koon's wife say?
An open debate with Lim Guan Eng and Jeff Ooi.

I was laughing like hell.

Lim Guan Eng-Brought up by his father Lim Kit Siang, grew up with professional lawyers such as Karpal Singh and Gobind Singh. Detained under the ISA for 4 years, do you think he is and amateur debator?

Jeff Ooi- Professional blogger. Writes about opinions and his daily stuff for 5 years. An amateur debator? I don't think so.

What is happening?
Malaysia is getting worse and the rakyat getting more and more stupid!!!!

Action And Reaction: Provocation And Revenge

2008-04-30T23:39:00.003+08:00

For every action, there must be a reaction, nobody can argue about that.

If you recycle newspapers and other stuffs, then the world would be less polluted.

If you shut your mouth for a day, there will be less noise.

If you kill somebody, you may end up in a jail.

So, this morning before our usual school assembly, me and TJ were sitting close by waiting for the usual boring school bell to ring. As usual, I was reading newspapers and TJ was annoying those students sitting near him

Suddenly, Jonathan Wong, the famous ISA(Independent Student Act or if you like Ikut Suka Aku) came into the classroom, opened his bag and took out a book to read. He is a student who never follows rules, as he is independent and does what he likes in class, either walk out of a classroom without permission without being caught, read his A-level books while teacher is teaching of bringing a 3 litre bottle of water to school and never finished it most of the time.

So, TJ saw him and grabbed his book. But, the ISA, who is also a sportsman, has a faster reaction by snatching the book back. How many times did this TJ annoyed ISA? Only god knows.

By constantly provoking the ISA like that, do you think he will take revenge?

Think Carefully!!!!

Think Again!

Let me give you an example: When a dog is shitting half way on the patch of grass. SUDDENLY, you give it a kick from behind on its butt. If the dog is a cute little furry dog, it would bark at you. If the dog is a bulldog, I am sure your butt would be ripped off in 5 seconds.

So, what happened was the ISA waited for the final moment to seek revenge. After assembly, because TJ was not wearing socks, the ISA called a prefect(Hong Liang) from 30 yards just to punish TJ. TJ was in trouble, he did not wear socks.

He was called to the back and ask to buy a pair of socks for RM8 because he was a sockless student.

So, my conclusion is, do not provoke anybody who can seek revenge on you!!!!!!!! Because when there is an action, there is always a reaction!

Scene: Riverside Café, PWTC.

Azman: I say, what’s going on lah?

Chong: What?

Azman: So many hanky-pankies are being discovered by the new rulers in Penang, Kedah, Perak and Selangor.

Mohan: Like the Balkis saga in Selangor?

Azman: Correct.

Zain: I think more are being discovered. Perak, Kedah and Selangor had been ruled by the BN since Merdeka – 50 years. I am sure there were many comfortable arrangements which continued from one election to the next.

Azman: Right, Cikgu. And then unexpectedly they fell. And the arrangements which had been benefiting members of the previous governments and their cronies are discovered.

Mohan: Not just them and their cronies but also relatives and close friends of these cronies. Many people benefited. Even those that deal with food caterers. Even the enforcement officers have their own little rackets.

Chong: All at the expense of the ordinary rakyat, the taxpayers. Somehow the rulers and leaders and their cronies, relatives and friends forgot that the "extra pocket money" that they were siphoning away belonged to the rakyat, the taxpayers.

Mohan: People like us. We pay taxes which pay their salaries. But somehow they gradually forget that we are their employers and they are public servants – who we elect to serve us.

Azman: Some even forget that they are elected and quickly feel that they are there by divine right. And some poor rakyat even accord them all kinds of deference including grovelling and kissing their hands.

Mohan: That’s right. They think they have divine right. Right to do everything. That’s why when it is pointed out to them that their slips are showing they just brush aside the little warnings. They think that as rulers they are entitled to the "extra pocket money" – their little indiscretions.

Zain: Little indiscretions? Millions of ringgit of our money and you call them little indiscretions, Mohan?

Mohan: You know what I mean, Cikgu. You must have noticed that after sometime it even became a habit – a culture – with them.

Zain: Yes, and that’s why what happened on March 8 is good.

Chong: Change is always good.

Zain: Change of rulers is also good. To me it’s like moving house. After staying in a house for years and years a lot of dirt accumulates in various nooks and corners. We don’t really notice this. We seldom move our furniture because we get comfortable with wherever they are. Maybe we are also lazy. The daily sweeping and cleaning do not really remove all the dirt and the dust. That’s why when we move house, when we load our things – our cupboards and beds – on to a lorry, we discover the dirt. For instance we suddenly found the old doll’s head that went missing since our daughter was a little girl. Ah! There’s the diary we were searching and searching for one whole day seven years ago. But mostly it’s the dirt and the dust we never knew existed.

Chong: So moving house is good, Cikgu? I never saw it that way.

Zain: If you don’t move house frequently, at least change the furniture.

Chong: I see what you mean.

Mohan: But we are only talking about the states, the various rooms of a house. What about the main house itself?

Zain: Ah, Mohan. There is dirt there too, you can be sure of that. Much more than the rooms, I am sure. It’s time will, of course, come later, if not sooner.

Chong: In the meantime ministers of the main house must also be moved about. They should not be allowed to stay in one ministry for too long. Some ministers were known to occupy a particular ministry for decades. This is not good.

Azman: And when they move the dirt they leave behind is sometimes discovered. And this has happened at a couple of ministries already.

Mohan: How can this happen?

Chong: It can easily happen in the individual rooms – the states, as well as in the main house, the ministries. Here they don’t just deal with food caterers or give tacit consent to the rackets of enforcement officers. Here they handle millions and sometimes billions. When they build and build, and buy and buy billions pass through their hands. Building of roads and bridges, schools and computer labs and mini stadiums and sports centres and purchasing of expensive heavy equipment, tractors, electronic blackboards and defence equipment. Only the very strong can resist the temptations.

Azman: The strong Muslims.

Zain: Do they exist?

Chong: What I am afraid of is this. Having discovered the rackets of their predecessors, they – the previously good Muslims, good Christians, good Hindus, good Buddhists and good whatever – find it too convenient a gold mine to tell others.

Zain: May God help us.

Craziness - An Important Element In The World

2008-04-27T23:36:00.002+08:00

I would say anybody who is not insane or crazy enough is somebody who is boring.
For example: Somebody who just carries on his or her life the same everyday, like the 'normal' people do. Wouldn't that be boring?

Thats what I am feeling the opposite now. I feel that I am crazy right now. Crazy about what? I don't know. The feeling that I am having is just difficult to describe, as though as I want to burst out of my shell and scream, as though as the world belongs to me.

What makes me think that I should go on with my life with this crazy mind?

Why shouldn't I be crazy?

For what I have done during my past 16 years and 11 months, doing crazy stuff such as pissing off my school teachers, punching a classmate, learning the cello, blogging about serious political issues, tipping off gangsters, rammed my head into a door.......................

If I had not been crazy enough to do all these shit, I would not be what i am today.

So, I would like to say something to myself:-

JUST BE MORE CRAZY AND YOU WILL BE MORE HAPPY

Football End Season Prediction

2008-04-26T23:28:00.003+08:00

Look at Manchester United, West Ham to win at Old Trafford, you can't really predict West Ham with Dean "The Goalscoring Chicken" Ashton on their side. Mark Noble another interesting player to watch. Wigan may give their season a final push to confirm their premier league status by holding Man Utd to a draw.

Chelsea, against Newcastle, Prediction, newcastle wins with goals from Owen and Martins. But against Bolton, Anelka sends them packing into the Championship, makes it two points clear from Man Utd and wins EPL title. Thats why Khairy Jamaluddin wants to bring Chelsea to Malaysia, very good move and vision for him. Grant as the hero.

Champions league-
Barca to win away at Old Trafford
Chelsea to triumph at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea to shoot down Barca in the final and Abramovich gets to lift the trophy.

MP Probe in Sexual Harassment

2008-04-24T23:31:00.002+08:00

Extracted from Malaysiakini.coim:Apr 23, 08 2:03pm

A former minister is being investigated by the police for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a five star hotel last week.The incident is alleged to have happened on the night of April 14 in the hotel located near KL Sentral. The former minister - dropped in the recently announced cabinet although he retained his parliamentary seat in the March 8 general election - was said to be drunk and had tried to caress the woman while she was serving drinks to him.

Kuala Lumpur CID Chief SAC II Ku Chin Wah said the woman, in her 30s and works at the hotel, lodged the report at the Brickfields police station last Friday. Ku however refused to divulge more details but said the ex-minister was currently abroad and police would summon him for questioning upon his return.

He said police were investgating the case under Section 354 of the Penal Code which carries up to 10 years jail or a fine or whipping or any two. The former minister is believed to be a frequent visitor to the hotel. He was embroiled in another controversy last year for allegedly making a racist remark.

From Jeff Ooi
The Scientific, Technological and Innovative way... of molesting
The Bar Council website uses theSun story about a molest report lodged against ex-minister who served in the 2004 Abdullah Administration. Crime scene was reported to be at a hotel restaurant in Brickfields.
The ex-minister is still an MP for the current term. He is a Muslim and he can't be drunk in a public place, can he?
How long is the arm of law in Malaysia, if we may ask?

Lee Kah Choon-Sack from Gerakan beacuse of stupid BN mindset

2008-04-23T23:47:00.002+08:00

I hail the appointment of former Gerakan deputy secretary-general, Lee Kah Choon by the Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng. This is an unprecedented move in Malaysia and I rejoice that Lim has the courage, foresight and vision to appoint the highly honourable and experienced Lee, particularly as chairperson of the InvestPenang, the PDC subsidiary tasked with wooing investment to Penang. That Lee took the bold step to resign from all posts in Gerakan to take responsibility for Gerakan's disastrous showing in the March 8 general election only goes to show how noble and honorable Lee is.

That he genuinely wants to contribute to Penang is without doubt. Now that this has been recognised by Pakatan Rakyat government in Penang, Lee has the opportunity to walk his talk of contributing to society is unlike what most politicians, particularly BN politicians, talk about but fail to do.

Lee's appointment is unprecedented and is yet another proof that Lim Guan Eng is not afraid to not follow the norm but has the courage to strive out for what he feels is best for the state and for Malaysians. He could easily have rewarded his supporters within the DAP or Pakatan Rakyat with such a juicy appointment. BN would have done that. Instead, Lim is bold and forthright enough to choose the best available person to spearhead Penang's development irrespective of gender or political affiliation. Is Lee the right person? Only time will tell.

But what is certain is that his appointment may mark the birth of a new political culture in Malaysia that transcends communal, gender, religious or political barriers. Only the best available and the most capable will do. Achieving the end result transcends other considerations. In this way, the state will benefit when the best and most capable person is tasked with important responsibilities. We know that projects will have the best chances of attaining success. Bailouts by the state will be unnecessary.

As Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim said, all he needs are 3-4 capable and action-oriented assistants to help him. Management is about dissecting the job, identifying the core success factors and needs and delegating and empowering competent managers to carry out their portion of the project. The success of any project is very much dependent on the capability, energy, passion and vision of the man tasked with the job. Is Lee the man? Can he do the job? Is he the best man for the job? Time will tell. Lim and the Pakatan Rakyat government think so. We have to give them the time, the support and the freedom to do so. Then we will judge.

For 22 years under Mahathir, such key and not-so-key posts were used to reward Umno, MCA, MIC and Gerakan division and branch heads for their loyalty or to buy their continued support for the president. This is wastage. The person appointed may not be adequate to the demands of the job and as Murphy said, a person is usually promoted to a level of incompetence. We can cite hundreds examples during Mahathir's 22 years. He propagated such a culture.

Well, I say reward them by all means but do not entrust them with the rakyat's future or welfare. When that appointed person proves incapable for the job, the project does not take off and the rakyat does not get the benefits of the investment. Worse, such projects fail and the government has to bail them out. I can cite countless examples.

I await anxiously to see more innovative and ‘out-of-box’, out-of-the-norm appointments and projects from the Pakatan Rakyat governments. They are becoming like a breath of fresh air compared to the 26 years of Mahathir-ism’s ‘thinking-in-the-box’ and power-sharing - or rather wealth-sharing - amongst the BN leaders.

Why can't Badawi have a more open mindset of developing the country?
Why Barisan Nasional(Neraka) has this stupid policy of not helping th opposition even though they are trying hard to improve the country?
Why we are looking at parties fighting against parties even though is almost 2 months after elections and things are still not yet resolve?
Imagine English Premier League Clubs' players not wanting to work with each other during the national team's matches. How would England fare?

Echoes of the cello

THE resounding echoes of the cello’s low register reverberated within the walls of the hall during a recital by eight cellists recently.

The one and a half hour recital Cellissimo was organised by the Penang Symphony Orchestra (PSO) and Malaysian-German Society at the society’s premises on Jalan Air Itam in Penang.
Wong Chin Ning performing a solo during the 'Cellissimo' music recital.

Led by workshop tutor Kimberly Iverson, the cellists who recently completed a four-day cello workshop at the Woon Violin Collections Centre, performed music ranging in abilities and styles.

The beginners were nimble-fingered as they played simple compositions by Mike Nelson and Ludwig van Beethoven’s famed Fur Elise while the intermediate and advanced students tackled music from the baroque, classical and 20th century musical periods.
The aspiring young musicians’ fingers fluttered lightly over the notes in Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata.

James Ng Wen Liang, 17, who is a member of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, perform-ed the challenging solo Sonata for Unaccompanied Cell by George Crumb.
Ng showed off his well-trained technique as he moved up the fingerboard while taking his time with steady and even vibrato.

http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2008/4/12/north/20877574&sec=North

1)My goodness, since when James is a member of the MPO?
2)The aspiring young musicians’ fingers fluttered lightly over the notes in Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata?

Rubbish news by The Star. Wrong facts!!!

PSO violist Wong Chin Ning also made a guest appearance and performed two solo pieces.
To keep the audience enthralled, Iverson did a splendid performance of Orientale by Spanish composer E. Granados.

We often question. Siapakah orang ini? Apakah dia?
Who is this fat indian who knows how to speak chinese and cantonese?
What is he?
Everybody is wondering.
We all love somebody special in the school, whether is the funny Lim Yoke Kheng or the gay liked Mr William(if you happened to read it, no offense)
3 or 4 years have passed away, now morning session, especially form 5 students know the true quality of him. Bullshitter.
This week, my class is so happy, we don't have to see his face for this week whether is his bullshit EST class or PJK class.
Certainly, it is MERDEKA for the week.
Today, during assembly, we noticed his absence. Normally he would be late for assembly(plenty of excuses). So we ask our Biology teacher about him and she said he was absent.

There was a round of applause that rippled across the classroom. Everybody was just too happy.
WHERE IS HE?
IN BUKIT MERTAJAM?
ACTING LIKE A CHINESE AGAIN? (I am a chinese in a very dark skin-Michael)
OR
FORMING HIS MIC ?(Malaysian Indian Community), yes?, Replacing Samy Vellu as president? Trying to be Education Minister? Implementing the syllabus of changing car tyres for girls and cooking for boys? Stupid, useless and unsafe PJK lessons? Trying to be a man with balls?

I don't think so.

MIC president won't give up his post to a "chinese in a dark skin" aka black chinese.
Students of the school and parents, teachers don't want him to become Education Minister, and he needs to contest with a BN ticket. No chance, fat ass.

So, his only way out is with his own MIC( Michael Independant Congress).

STOP DREAMING AND BULLSHITTING, LIAR!!!!!!!!!
