democracy is sometimes so problematic and chaotic when everyone also wants to be heard. autocratic is needed to make things done faster and easier.

JR Happy Moment

I am going to graduate soon end of this year.

Very soon.

Very soon..

I start to feel nostalgic and sad looking at the photos i took with my classmates throughout our 3 years of studies in UTAR Kampar.

I know i am so gona miss them.

People come people go but they, my friends stay in my mind and heart always..

quote of the day

Things may be expensive but it’s ok as long as it’s good and last long.

i found Ghee Urendeh!

Finally.. Finally..

I found my favourite Indian delicacy, Ghee Urundeh.

I was like jumping up and down upon seeing it.

I missed it so much.

I can't find it in Kampar.

I started to fall in love on it when i was in secondary school. I remember i went to my teacher's house for Deepavali and she gave me that.

Thanks to my good friend, Murukesh and Kumahresh and his family for that.

I tapao 4 Ghee Urundehs home.

lalalaa.

I AM SO HAPPY!

Sunday in Penang

Nice view from my balcony after a downpour. It's nice to just relax at home on a Sunday. It's a good time to recharge and rejuvenate. Sometimes you need to slow down in life to get more joy. =)

eeew TV3

I puked blood watching TV3 news. That's why i stopped watching Buletin Utama since few years ago. TV3, you have totally lost ur credibility n trust from the ppl. Since when Seksualiti Merdeka festival event turns into 'perhimpunan seks bebas'?! You are saying the event is to promote 1 night stand, having group sex or sex partner exchange is it? TV3 u r so damn fcuking sickening! Why must you frame people up? Pls dun twist n spin the words 360. Your job is to report the truth, not to lick ur boss ass. media taik cirit buat malu aje! shame on u!

When i was small, i respect TV3 and i dreamt to be an anchor in TV3, but now podakh! 

I WILL BE SO SAD IF ANYONE I KNOW WORKS FOR TV3 OR UTUSAN MALAYSIA. SERIOUSLY!

as a reporter

I feel that as a reporter, we don’t cover news only when someone calls us to cover news. News is everywhere and all the time. Reporter should go out there to cover it on their own initiative. Never sit and wait. Be alert. Be the voice for the people.

democracy buried alive

Demokrasi sudah mati,

terkubur dalam-dalam

di dalam liang hahad.

Aku hak aku

Tapi hari ini

Kebebasan ku dirampas

Aku kalah menjadi diri sendiri

Aku diikat tali

Dipaksa mengikut apa kamu suka


Minoriti dipersenda
Yang kecil bilangannya dibuli
Tak pernah kau hormat 
Si kaum minoriti
Orang Asal dipijak
Kini LGBTIQ dilanyak

Kau manusia

Aku manusia

Siapa kau

Kau siapa

Untuk menghakimi aku

Sebaik-baik aku

Sejahat-jahat aku

Biar Tuhan yang tentukan

Bukan kau!

Aku berhak

Memilih cara hidup sendiri

Dan orientasi seks serta jantina sendiri.

It’s a sad thing that Seksualiti Merdeka Festival has just been banned by the police force.

What is wrong with the festival? If you don’t like, you don’t go. If you don’t agree with them, you don’t ban them and if you hate them, you can choose not to be friend with them.

It’s as simple as that.

Education has been politicized. Religion has been politicized. Now, sex and gender are being politicized.

This is my country, Malaysia.

Democracy has buried alive.

Democracy belongs to all.

I learnt in my religion, Pendidikan Moral, Pengajian Am, Pengajian Malaysia, 1 Malaysia and from the society to accept everyone for who they are. I learnt to respect and understand them.

There must be equal rights and human dignity not just for ourselves, but also for those who are different ie. straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, intersex, transgender, asexual, unsure or simply fabulous.

Any festival that has to do with them is now illegal. I wonder will these people be arrested. Will these words (straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, intersex, transgender, asexual) be censored from the press, tv and radio.

Will I be arrested for having them as my friends? Will I be arrested if I ever use those words.

I still believe this is a democratic country.

I hope I was wrong when I think that democracy has flushed away like the shit i just produced.


54 years of independence? Merdekakah kita?


I have no idea..

A Hug

A hug is so much meaningful and lovely than a kiss. A hug can bring friends closer. A hug shows how much you miss that person. Do you hug your friends? When was the last time you've hugged a friend? Hug la anda sebelum anda tak dapat menghug. haha!

Happy 1.1.11

So today is the first day of November.

It's a unique day i would say because the number is 1.11.11

Nice right.

Some say today is a new beginning.

Everything starts from 1, not zero.

And i hope for the same too.

Everything will be just fine.

Something serious is bothering me since few days ago.

I am so disturbed by it.

I was away from MSN, FB..

I didn't go anywhere today. Just stay in the room..

It's ok.. Tomorrow will be another good day.

I wana wish Edmund happy birthday too. Friends forever bro.

Happy 10th anniversary too dear. Love you.

Happy 1111 again.

I Am A Lonely Photographer

Photo courtesy of Rachael Soh. 

It’s raining so heavily here in Kampar. It’s flooded again. And again, I went out to snap some photos.

And I was alone..again.

When I went backpack, my friend said I'm a lonely photographer.

Well, she is right.

Now I get what she meant. I bet many people who saw me on the street have the thought also.

I never follow a photography trip before. Neither do I go for a photography outing.

I don’t feel comfortable.

But I will purposely go out to snap something that I feel is meaningful. For example if a building is going to be demolished. Or if the sky is beautiful.

It's ok la.. I enjoy what I'm doing and i don't need a bunch of photographers to make me good.

Whenever people see me, they will see my camera too.

Hmmm..

I don’t know why I’m suddenly so down. Maybe because I saw some outing photos from my friends in Facebook. It’s ok.. I am not jealous at all.

It just makes me realized many things. I’ll just keep those thoughts in myself.

I thank God for giving me good eyes to see. Sometimes my eyes see something that the other people don’t see and that’s what makes my photos special. I’m thankful for having a heart that cares and I express it through images. I’m glad I’m always alert with my surrounding too.

I don’t have the intention to praise myself but I always share my experience with my friends. I am so much happy everytime I see their happy face. The satisfaction of getting a good shot is extraordinary.

As I’m writing this, it’s raining cats and dogs outside.

Becareful on the road.

If you are a lonely photographer like me too, don’t be sad. It’s an enjoyable thing to snap pictures with all the freedom you need. Whatever you do, you just need to enjoy it and you will do it well. 

I am happy being a lonely photographer. 

梦一场 (Meng Yi Chang) - 萧敬腾 (Xiao Jing Teng)

我們都因為寂寞而給對方承諾 我們都因為折磨而厭倦了生活
只是這樣的日子 同樣的方式 還要多久
我們改變了態度而接納了對方 我們委屈了自己成全誰的夢想
只是這樣的日子 還剩下多少 已不重要
時常想起過去的溫存 它讓我在夜裡不會冷
你說一個人的美麗是認真 兩個人能在一起是緣份
早知道是這樣 像夢一場 我又何必把愛都放在同一個地方
我能原諒 你的荒唐 荒唐的是我不能自己遺忘
早知道是這樣 如夢一場 我又何必把淚都鎖在自己的眼眶
讓你去瘋 讓你去狂 讓你在沒有我的地方堅強
(過場間奏)
時常想起過去的溫存 它讓我在夜裡不會冷
你說一個人的美麗是認真 兩個人能在一起是緣份
早知道是這樣 像夢一場 我又何必把愛都放在同一個地方
我能原諒 你的荒唐 荒唐的是我不能自己遺忘
早知道是這樣 如夢一場 我又何必把淚都鎖在自己的眼眶
讓你去瘋 讓你去狂 讓你在沒有我的地方堅強
讓我在沒有你的地方療傷

Lovely song.. Have been listening to it since last night.. And it helps to recall a lot of childhood memories. It helps me to open up my eyes on how to 'see' people. It helps..to take away my stress,

Listen..

keep quiet

Talk too much is not always good. Sometimes, we just have to be quiet in order to listen to others.

Talk too much is too noisy.

Talk too much is annoying.

I'm a bit tired of talking.

My point of view is not always right.

Today is Monday and the day is so beautiful.

I wana enjoy the day and talk less.

There are many more things can be done other than talking.

Oh I can do that. i can do that.

Don't skip class today OCE! you better don't do that!

lalalalalal!

150 respondents for FYP! =p

30/10/2011 5.38pm

That’s the end for my FYP questionnaire. The answering session is now closed. Kedai dah tutup. 150 people have responded and I’ve achieved my target.

I finish setting the questions on Saturday 5am in the morning on October 29.

Then I sent the questionnaire to my friends at about 6am through Facebook since the questionnaire is in digital form. It’s easier, faster and cheaper. Most importantly, it’s confidential since I don’t know who does it.

My junior, K was the first one to answer it at 6.23am. Don’t worry the respondents answers will be kept confidential. Haha.

I was targeting only 100 people for my questionnaire.

But I was so surprise by the good response. I achieved my target at 5.58pm, just after 12-hour. Technology really helps me a lot.

Then I increase the respondents to 150. It was risky. Thank God I achieved the target at 5.38pm today, October 30.

What is this? A report on my FYP ah? Haha.

To all, thank you so much for your time and honest answers. Some of the answers really opened up my eyes. I learnt from you. This research will never be completed without all of you. Oh Chin Eng thanks all of you again. May you be blessed always.

There are respondents who didn’t answer. Some even simply type words that don’t exist such as “fvjhdfutk,”. But it’s ok. I guess this is normal for a questionnaire. And some people are playful.

Now it’s the time for analysis and discussion part. It’s the lengthiest part of all but I know I’ll enhoy doing it because I love this topic. The hardest for me I think it’s the literature review.

I must specially thanks Agkillah, Felicita and Qistina for helping me sending out the questionnaire to their friends. Coincidentally all of them are from SGGS Penang. Not to forget, thanks to Lay Nee, Ai Chun as well.

I must also thank Edmund and Cynthia for staying up late, going through the questions with me. Thanks to them, the questions sounds better and more relevant. If I were to do it, people sure behsyiok with the way I ask. Hahaa. 

Thank you again. Ok bye. FYP belum habis!

so embarrasing!

Malu besar!

something embarrassing just happened!

Went for a meal but forgot to bring money!

haha.

so hutang first.

pay next time.

the boss said pay next time ok. =p

quote of the day

It may be a small thing but it is definitely a happy thing when you are able to help and bring joy to the people. 

please.. have mercy on my FYP

A note to my friends. I thank you from deep inside my heart for helping me to complete my FYP questionnaire. I chose you specifically because i trust you out of so many people. But please be considerate, don't spoil it. If you don't understand, you can ask your friends or me. If you don't feel like doing it, you have all the rights in the world not to do it. I never force you. But don't simply tick and simply type rubbish words on the answer box. I'm just asking for a small favour and a few minutes of your life to answer a few simple questions. Why must you spam, hack, and ruin it? Don't you feel it's very irresponsible, childish and stupid? There are at least 3 respondents who did that and this is very sad lo. You can hate me. You can talk bad about me. You can spam my wall. But please don't ruin my work. Please.. Thank you. 


May you be blessed always..


*Whatever bad things you do to people today, it will come back and haunt you in the future. Mark my words.*

Give Thais A Helping Hand

Bangkok's landmark Grand Palace is seen flooded October 27, 2011. The floods are expected to take a toll on Thailand's tourism industry, which employs more than 2 million people and makes up 6 percent of GDP. -REUTERS/Bazuki Muhammad - 27 October, 2011

ST John Ambulance Malaysia’s (SJAM) Penang branch is initiating a project to assist disaster relief efforts for flood victims in Thailand.

SJAM state commander Datuk Dr Yee Thiam Sun said the project, named ‘Humanitarian Mission for Thailand’, was carried out in response to instructions given by the Prime Minister’s Department.

“We are ordered by the department to be the main coordinator in the northern region to gather resources from various NGOs and charity organisations here to help Thailand,” he said.

He said a centre would be set up at SJAM Penang headquarters on Grove Road to collect items that meet the immediate needs of flood victims.

Yee said items needed are first aid kits, survival kits, drinking water, life jackets, camping lamps, flashlights, mosquito repellent, mosquito nets, rowing boats, rafts, tents, rubber boots, effective microorganism (EM), water pumps, electricity generators, drinking water supply mobile units, drinking water tanks and mobile toilets.

“We need help from the public. They are welcome to bring the items to the collecting centre during office hours, which is from 9am to 5pm,” he told a press conference in George Town.

He added that SJAM would like to recruit volunteers for a trip to Bangkok for disaster relief and restoration works.

“We have yet to finalise the time to go there, it depends on the coordination with the Thai government,” he said.

Thai consul-general Voradet Viravakin, who was also at the press conference, said he appreciated SJAM’s offer to help Thailand battle the worst floods in 50 years.

For item contribution and volunteer recruitment, call SJAM Penang on 04-8285972 during office hours.

Donations can be deposited into SJAM’s savings account at Public Bank Berhad. The account number is 3170193000.

Nabi S.A.W. bersabda..

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a bahwasanya Nabi S.A.W. bersabda: ( sebaik-baik hari dimana matahari terbit adalah hari Juma'at, di hari itu Adam diciptakan, dan pada hari itu dimasukkan ke syurga, dan pada hari itu dikeluarkan darinya, dan tidak terjadi hari kiamat kecuali pada hari Juma'at) (HR. Muslim)

is Thailand ok?

The flood in Thailand is getting worse.

I pity them la. What can we do in Malaysia to help?

They are lack of food supply. Homes got swept away. Crime will increase. Students cant go to school. People can't go to work. They can't move around. They don't have clean water to drink. If the water level is too high, people can get gush away also you know.. Everything will be so problematic and chaotic.

I wonder if Thailand needs volunteer or first aider or not. I'm so willing to go there to lend my hand.

Buddha please bless Thailand and its people. Make sure they are safe. Materials broken or go missing can't be buy back but not lives.

cycling life in UTAR

This is when i cycled to Temoh from Kampar. =p

Only in UTAR Kampar, we got the chance to own a bicycle and to cycle around for at least 3years. Some may not like it but where and when else we can do that in life? It’s such a joy to cycle with friends and laugh at each other when someone fell down.

I think we all should appreciate the moments in life than to condemn, complaint and make a fuss on it. It’s the little things and imperfections that make our life colourful and beautiful.

These are the part and parcel of life.

I should cycle more because after i graduate i won’t have the opportunity anymore.

This is my last semester in UTAR and in Kampar. 2 more months to go. Well OCE faster finish your FYP and assignments so that you can explore Kampar. =p

Don’t make yourself regret.

YOU are quoted

“Don't be naughty. be good boy. i don wan to see you in utar for another sem. you have a bigger world out there waiting for you. ♥”
