Love

Love should be long-lasting NOT lust-lasting.

Pantang Larang?

Pantang larang?? Do you know what it means? Well.. living in Malaysian generally and being a Chinese or any race in particular, we are born, nurtured and socialized with so much of cultures, beliefs, traditions, norms and pantang larang. Pantang larang or taboos or acts that are forbidden are different according to the ethnicity.

I’m a Chinese but that does not mean all the Chinese have the same pantang larangs. It is different according to your dialect, your hometown in China, your religion, your family culture, your environment and etc.

Haih… do we really need pantang larang? What say you? Sometimes I feel we do. But most of the time pantang larang is just pantang larang. Nothing scientific. Pantang larang basically means No, No and NO to whatever you want to do. Pantang larang is also some kind of law that you must follow to have a smooth and better life. And this law is an unwritten law. It is usually passed down from one generation to another generation.

Why so many pantang larangs? Is it necessary? Is it reasonable? Aduih.. sorry to say at this moment, I feel so geram that i used to practice some pantang larang and I feel so regret now.

When I was small, really small, I’m forbidden from:
1) looking at monkey
2) playing with monkeys
3) and even cannot say the word monkey in ‘Hokkien’
4) not allowed to look at the wake and funeral
5) not allowed to attend funeral

hmmm.. until this moment, I’m phobia, scared and I never say the word monkey in Hokkien. I even dare not to type out the word monkey in Hokkien. It’s a great fear ok. It has been instilled in my mind since young. So yea why can’t I look at monkeys? I duno. And I never ask. I dare not to ask.

So why can’t I attend funerals? Ok some say when we are too young, our ‘power’ or ‘chi’ is weak to hinder us from the bad spirits. The evil spirits will come and kacau and then we’ll get sick blablabla. Ok la I can accept that. BUT I am so sad I can’t even attend my Ah Chor’s funeral. What the tut is that! I love my Ah Chor so much ok. And she loves me too. That time I was just around 10 years old. Sad ok. What kind of pantang larang is this! Ah Chor is my ancestor lah.

I never ask why. In Chinese culture, never question the elders. If not they will say you are rude or kurang ajar. Due to this perception of ‘kurang ajar’, the youths of my age nowadays dare not to open up their mouth to question and to ask intellectually. They are scared, they are fear and they have no confidence.

As I grown up, I, not to say forgotten but I've leave behind a lot of pantang larangs because I don’t feel it is necessary. I do whatever I feel like doing as long as I don’t harm anyone and I don’t tarnish my family’s name.  I don’t merely follow pantang larangs anymore. I will question the relevance of it. My parents also no longer ask me not to do this and that and they accept when I attend a wake or funeral. I guess maybe because I’m adult already and the bad spirit can’t kacau me anymore or maybe because I’m free from any CURSE. Haha.

If you practice a pantang larang for a religion purpose, I can still accept that. Other than that, hmmm.. I won’t criticize la. It’s your right ma. Siao meh. Im not that racist, bias and discriminative ok. Wa banyak open punya.

You may say, if we don’t follow the pantang larang, our culture will be vanished. But culture is a very wide aspect. In this modern world, no one really care about their cultures and religions. Yes this is a fact. Everyone is living in their comfort zone. People do whatever they like without taking into consideration about their cultures, beliefs, norms, and traditions. People’s lifestyle has changed. Everything is based on science technology now. However, I still believed in religion but I’m no longer that strong in practicing my pantang larang as how I used to be when I was small.

I am not here questioning your pantang larang. This is just my point of view of my own cultures.

Tiada kena mengena dengan yang hidup atau yang mati ataupun yang sepera hidup dan mati.

QUOTE of the day

It's ok if you are not pro in one particular field but u know a lot of things from different fields.

better photographer?

I tell u, if u can be crazier than me, u can definitely become a better photographer. 

But before that, you must learn how to act, pretend, cheat, jump, climb, crawl, run, langgar traffic, speed on bike n help other pressmen.

Good photographs also come from experience you know.. Not only talent, passion or good gadgets. 

Good night.

hakchiu

Beginning of the sem sick, now end of the sem also lagi sick!!

So sick ah!!

Everything also cannot do.

good night.

my dream house

QUOTE of the day

Don't run for election if you don't have the passion to serve the people

now, i support autocracy

I am a firm believer of democracy.

i have been practicing it all this while.

i listen to everyone. i make sure they speak. i make sure they are heard. i want everyone to take part in the team. they must know that they are important and they can make a change too.

But now for once, i believe in autocracy.

why??

so that there'll be only one voice that represents the team.

this might not sound good. BUt sometimes, it is necessary to make sure things are done. It's not good if no one listen to you. It will be messy if everyone wants to take the role of the head. no decision can be made if some people wants to be 'hero' or they have their own agenda.

i never command anyone to do anything that they are not willing to do. i never force them yet. i didn't raise my voice even when things are not done. i never even use my power as a chairman to scold, to complaint or to sack anyone.

I felt i don't have to do so because this is a team and we must always be united. All are adults and all know how to think. But some just know how to talk, know what they should do but never do.

Now, knowing that i have the power, thus i must exercise it.

Power is part of my responsibility.

I was given the power and mandate to stand with the people and serve them.

Before i can deal with anyone, i must make show my team are willing or at least listen to my order.

I must be firm, stern, straight forward and strong in my decision and principles.

I'm sorry and don't blame me if i scold anyone. I know im too soft when i deal with people. I also know i am not the best leader.

Let's just work all out for the last one semester.

Leave a good memories for yourself and your voters. Don't make yourself regret. 

It's ok if people don't praise you, just make sure they don't critisize you. =p

a need to practice what you learn

Seriously i miss the feeling of being assigned to cover news. you need to practice what you learn. if not, you'll even forget how to start the 1st paragraph.

I envy those who can still pen their thoughts, opinions or interviews on the piece of news. The nature of journalism is in me. The instinct of a journalist also in me. I was among the first ones to reach the scene everytime a news happened. Not to boast, but i love this job.

But..

I know.. I can't practice it at the moment. I blame no one. No one's fault.

fact of life

In reality, if u dun BODEK, u'll get less, or even nothing.

you don't trust me at all

I think this is the very first time i blog about you.

I seldom blog nowadays but now i know what im gona write about in this post.

i know u are angry, u are sad because i went to other table to talk to my friends when i was having dinner with you.

i am sorry if i make u feel neglected or alone. I never meant to make u feel that way.

I apologised and explained.. I'll try not to be away for so long next time.

But you said..

"Do you think i will trust you again?"

er.. ok.. this is so hurtful.

Now i know..

You don't trust me at all.. 

Well, what can i say?

as far as i concern,i fulfilled my words.

I never cheat on you.

no matter how hurt or disappointed i was, i never say such words to you.

I still trust you even you break your promise.

You always say NO whenever i ask something from you. I'm ok with that. You always put other people as your priority. i also ok with that.

It's too hard for me to swallow your words. It's like burning charcoal flaming in my stomach.

I am a busy man. I have a lot of commitments and responsibilities. I have to always communicate and socialize with people. I have meetings to attend. I have to settle other people's problems. I am active, always go here and there, do this and that.

If you don't trust me..

Then...

QUOTE of the day

Don't force people to do things that they are not willing to do.

Dream

What is your dream? Do you have one? Have you achieved it? What have u done to achieve it? Dream will remain as a dream if no action is taken to materialise it. It's not wrong if your dream is different from the others. It's ok if you have more than one dream.

Your dream is like your life. Dream keeps us alive. It gives us hopes, happiness and satisfaction.

Go make ur dream a reality.

I have many dreams too.. I'm achieving it one by one although it might take my entire life. =p

just for laugh

NEWS UPDATE!

Live from 1194 Westlakes Homes.

A lot of Burung Hantus are awake tonight rushing for their assignment.

this is a good trend.

This is a week where all these burungs or birdbird sleep at 4am, 5am or even 7am.

for photo enthusiast, this is a good time to capture their photos when they are most active at night with their eyes half-opened.

and the wind is so strong and cool out there.

and a simple topic becomes so hard to explain.

BUATLAH ASSIGNMENTM MAJULAH SUKAN UNTUK NEGARA, SALAM 1 MALAYSIA.

If..

If you are given a second chance to change any moment in your life, what would it be?

Think hard about it..

No right or wrong answer for it.

You can still make a change.

Let go of the past, work for your future.

Sometimes there is no second chance in life.
