Interesting night in Kepala Batas

Today is Thursday, 25 april 2013.

Which means it’s the sixth day of campaigning for this 13^th General Election.

It has been six days I’m staying in Kepala Batas, covering this whole parliament and the three state seats under it: Penaga, Bertam and Pinang Tunggal.

In this six days, my moustache has grown longer. My finger nails also long long already.

Kepala Batas is a slow place. Really. Nothing much at night. No entertainment, no traffic jam, not much of police presence. Paddy fields every where. Chinese and Indian eatery place are so less that you can count by hand. A lot of mamak restaurants and Thai style makan place. Original and authentic Malay food also none, as far as I know.

It’s damn hot here. But for three consecutive nights since Tuesday, it has been raining cats and dogs.

Anyway, tonight is an interesting night.

I just finished work at 1.30am.

Staying in a small town is not a bad thing. People here are really friendly and they watch each other’s back. You can feel the real human touch.

Went to interview some local political figure and he treated us aromatic Chinese tea.

For the first time, I visited a wake of a Chinese funeral in the midnight, plus, joined by an election candidate, plus, with a group of Muslims.

Fuyooo.

Funny thing is, before I enter my motel, my pixman and I washed our face and hands. For Chinese, it’s a must-do tradition after we attended a wake. But I didn’t know it’s the same for a Malay (or maybe Muslim?).

Then the air-con in our room is missing, under repair. Now we have to use a stand fan, a fan with no angin.

Both are half-naked and yet sweating.

I feel hot tonight. 

I can’t wait to go back to Penang (island). I miss my parents, my siblings and my girlfriend. =p

*it’s actually Friday already because it has passed 12am.*

Publicity stunt over the search of William Yau?

Very the funny and ironic! So many child have gone missing. So much crime victims have died. But suddenly one political party came out like it cares the most, launched campaign to look for the missing 6-year-old William Yau Zhen Zhong.

Why har? Why only now? Why at this time when General Election is about a month away? Why William? 

And I thought political parties now claimed they are across racial lines but isn't William a Chinese? Why I don't remember you asking your party members to look for other non-Chinese missing child? 

Am I being paranoid? OK maybe William's chubbiness caught your heart. You analyse yourselves lah. What I hope is this is not just a publicity stunt. I hope those appeared on the newspaper giving out flyers etc were not hypocrite and merely putting up a show. 

If you are sincere, launch a campaign to get back Satiskumar Tamilvanan, 5, and M. Jethendran, 16, too. What if one day, it's your kids who are kidnapped or gone missing? 

I do agree with some people that we should leave William's family alone, for now.. 

Put journalism business aside, this is about being humane and understanding. 

I apologise if my thoughts caused uneasiness to some quarters. 

when i die

When I die, I want to die with a lots of good memories and rich life experiences.

I don't need a lot of money, materials or luxuries. I can't bring it down to hell or up to heaven. It's all useless. I don't need all that. So mahuan to be rich. Later you don't know who should inherit it. Donate it to the needy? Of course I will. But I have been doing it every now and then. I do charity when it's possible. I don't have to be rich by the time I'm old and donate it when I die. 

My principle is simple. Live simple live happy. Simplicity is happiness.

I enjoy my life and it's never dull. Everyday something new is happening. I learn new things everyday. 

My life is a beautiful journey because I know where to go, what route to take and what I want. 

It's not how long I live, but how rich my life is. 

amma has passed away

Dear all, my paternal grandmother (in town) has passed away peacefully yesterday at about 6pm due to old age. The wake is being held at Block 358, Macallum Street (opposite Nine Emporer God Temple) until next Monday 9/9/2012.  Funeral is scheduled at 2pm on Monday. If you wish to pay your last respects, sms me in advance so that I can entertain you with ‘thordao’ and ‘charbihun’. Bring some pakao la if u r coming. Thank you all for your condolences. =p

'Beng Hock'

Most of us have heard of Teoh Beng Hock. If you don’t, u must b living in the tempurung kelapa. But it’s ok now u can know more about the whole drama on how he’s being interrogated and finally died at the MACC’s building. Head to PenangPAC in Straits Quay tonite at 8.30pm for the last show of ‘Beng Hock’. It’s a must watch show!

thoughts tonight

- Ask, ask, and ask until you get the information that you need. If not don’t you ever go back to the office.

- I am not good yet but I will work harder to be good.

- It’s an achievement if the office didn’t call you after you finish work. If they do, means there are problems with your stories.

- When you are happy, laugh it out. When you are sad, cry it out.

- Do what you like. Like what you do.

- Life brief candle. Kalau ada umur panjang, bolehlah jumpa di masa hadapan.

- Religion for me is just about where you go after you die.

- Feels good to see or to listen to some good friends or people that have made a deep presence or impact in your life after so long.


- I may have hight tolerance but definitely not patience. 


- How you handle your emotions and react to people at home will reflect on your behaviour out there. 


- If you are bad to people, don't expect people to be nice to you. 

bila yang sepatutnya baik menjadi jahat

Gengster sekarang bukan takat yang buka rumah pelacur, jual DVD cetak rompak ataupun nak culik orang. Gengster paling besar sekarang ni ialah si pemakai uniform biru tua yang pukul orang sesuka hati termasuklah media. Merekalah antara manusia terjijik, terkotor terjahanam pernah ku jumpa. Totally no respect for u, except uncle police who control the traffic.

Ya bukan semua polis jahat dan kotor.

Pernah ku jumpa polis yang mesra, baik, dan membantu.

Tapi sekarang di mata dunia, anda memang sudah kotor.

Budaya dalaman mu sukar diubah.

Bila gila, kamu memukul macam hantu diserang histeria.

Hari ke hari, nama mu busuk merata dunia.

Reputasi mu jatuh di mata Malaysians.

Mungkin anda hanya harum di kalangan orang-orang mu.

Keamanan negara bukan terletak lagi di tangan mereka. 

Kepercayaan terhakis. 

Kezaliman terbukti. 

Keraajan kalau kotor, 

masakan orang-orang bawahannya. 

Bangkit rakyat bangkit. 

Negara aman, rakyat selamat. 

Hanya satu caranya, undi. 

Undilah parti alternatif. 

Yang buruk, yang kotor, yang jahat, yang zalim, yang hina, yang binatang, yang lama, yang korup, yang kroni, yang racis, yang seksis, yang bodoh semua kita buang.

Saya suka guna benda bersih, dan saya akan guna sabun baru yang lebih bersih walaupun saya sedar suatu hari nanti sabun itu mungkin tidak sebersih dulu, tapi tidak salah untuk mencuba dan memberi peluang kepada harapan baru.

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You

we'll miss you deeply Whitney..

life brief candle

u see.. this is life. it's full of surprises and it's unpredictable. but that's what makes life. different tastes make life more colourful. what drives us from living? it's our hope, our dream, the things we enjoy and the people we love.

how sad to receive a news that my good friend's amma has just passed away. She was so healthy. I often see her in her smile and confident walk despite her old age. It has been years since I see here. But because of the heart operation, she lost her life. When I see her again, it will be at her funeral. The doctor should be more careful, alert and responsible instead of giving excuses.

I'll repeat what i said again laz nite in my blog, enjoy n appreciate the present.

Be strong Cynthia.

pain like dying

i have been in severe pain since last Saturday.

i puke what i eat.

i got diarrhoea.

Most importantly my stomach is seriously extremely pain.

Doctor said i got gastric.

I got an injection. I paid a higher price for the so-called more powerful medicines.

But no difference.

i can just curl up myself on the bed everyday.

I feel like a deadman.

Feel so disabled.

so useless..

There's nothing i can do.

I cant even sit on the chair.

I cant stand when i bath.

I cant walk properly.

I shiver when i ride my bike.

It just feels like i'm dying.

the pain is unbearable.

i always got stomachpain. I always lausai. my stomach always not ok. But it never as pain as this.

why..

Why now..

I have my Final Year Project presentation on Wednesday and an assignment's presentation on Friday.

I cant afford to be hospitalised.

I'm holding on.

But.. It feels so impossible,

Time is running out.

you may think it's not that serious but wait until you come and look it yourself.

why i still blog.

cuz i dun have to think academically when i write.

i need to blog so that at least people know what happened if i died.. or if i'm hospitalised.

i've shrink..

i wana go home..

my family didn't know i'm sick.

ok.. back to the patient's bed.

*everyone will die. so do it. but before i die, at least let me get a scroll for my family first.*

you inspired, Steve Jobs

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

~ Stanford commencement speech

QUOTE of the day

Life is like a candle. Once it's blowed off, means no more light, no more life.

*so sad to received a news that a very close neighbour's mum has passed away*

Orang Asli Semai from Kampung Pos Dipang

Date: 21/11/2010

Time: 5.35pm

Venue: Kampung Pos Dipang, Kampar, Perak

Kampung Pos Dipang in Kampar, Perak was one of the first Orang Asli villages to be destroyed by a disaster in Malaysia. A mudslide due to a heavy rain gushed away the whole village on August 29 1996 about 6pm. The Orang Asli village was situated next to Sungai Dipang. A nearby Chinese village also got affected by the mudslide. The incident snatched away 44 lives but only 39 remains were found, the other 5 are still missing. The disaster is believed to be contributed by the logging activities nearby. True enough, when i went there, a huge area of the jungle were cleared. A lot of trees were chopped and ready to be transport out.

As i always say, development is good but not to the extent that it destroys us.

bring me to Cameron Highlands..

How I wish I’m in Kampar now.

Those who know me, they can guess why..

I’m very sure I’ll rush to Cameron Highlands with my scooter. And I’ll bring sleeping beg, extra camera n hp batteries, water, raincoat, torchlite, tissue, jacket n notebooks.

You guys know right theres's a landslide there. It's an orang asli village, 1 woman died, few seriously injured and many more feared to be buried in the mud.

I pray that everyone is fine thr.. I really pray.

It's a sad news..

And i don't like it when i can't do anything to help or tell what's going on there.

While most of us here are still safe, able to online and be with friends and family, let us put our hands together, just take one minute to pray for the safety of our brothers and sisters who are facing disasters now.

Nowadays so many big people die 1. Our Malaysian politicians must be very hardworking lah until they neglect their health. Betui-betui Rakyat Didahulukan.

dead cat

it's hard to describe my feeling.

i just feel like tearing.

you can say i'm emotional.

but that's how i react everytime i see this animal died because of us, HUMAN!

my heart crashed into million pieces.

A cat just died in a horrific state.

it was rammed over by the UTAR bus.

its mouth was widely open bearing miserable pain with its intestines scattered all over on the road. the blood is still fresh on the road.

I took it and placed it at a better ground d.

this is the first time i met a dead cat in my university.

who to blame??

the cat, for not crossing the road properly?

or the bus driver, who rammed over it??

=(
