The night before I went to Penang, I went to Rum Jungle Ipoh, clubbing with my friends which we've never been clubbing together for almost 3 years.

The uncrowded night is something way to relaxing with spacious floor for everyone to dance to the housemusic.

These are my friends that treating themselves with 2 bottle of Chivas Regal and I just sip a coke as I have to drive North on the next morning. Do you buy me? Haha!

Like elder brother like the younger. Which is my younger brother? Haha. Too bad for a divorcee like him, indulged in clubbing atmosphere in his late 20s, almost a decade after he derogatorily smack me with his words when I was all out with my clubbing and drinking habits.

Anyway, I had a nice time being with them and enthusiasticly considering the next gathering session.

Warm wishes to all Malaysian that sharing the idea of : we are the only nation that having 4 calendar system with 3 lunatic and 1 gregorian.

The less known fact is, Muslim's days changed when the sun sets down and the Maghrib prayers being recalled. This is quite similar to the Judaism culture which having the day change by the sunset, while the trend of the Christians, that promoted the today's gregorian, days changed by the midnight.

Another interesting fact is, the beginning of hijri new year in a particular year automaticly befall 10 or 11 days earlier than the yesteryear on the gregorian date set. Compare with Chinese lunatic year and Tamil lunatic year, Islamic calendar never add up a 13th month in every 3 years period, which being added to ensure the calendar stick to the yearly seasons.

This history was related to the idea of letting the Muslims to experience various occasion without being related to the seasons. Haj pilgrimage may come in winter and in other time of the rotational span, may be experienced in extream desert summer.

So do the fasting month and all Muslim's major religious festivals.

One might being critical on how Muslims could have an efficient historical record on perodical versus environmental kind of data archiving. But since the rotation will complete in 33 years time, any date of occasions that should it had a neccessity on weather or environmental relativity record, it could be seen in a wider period which is more better to be used in a future projection especially in managing corps, finance, and population.

Whatever it is, each of us here in Malaysia regardless their race and religion, should togather enjoying the new year for Muslims but of course being subjected to a feasible manner of celebrating it.

Despite the Ipoh's Rum Jungle DJ that shouting to the crowds last Saturday night in what most Malay majority patrons feel as offensive : "LETS MEET TOMORROW TO CELEBRATE AWAL MUHARRAM EVE!!"; which was replied with sounds of busting glass here and there, a wish for Hijri New Year is much more accepted even with a heartacheful words of "LETS MEET TOMORROW TO CELEBRATE THE CHANGE THAT MIGHT COME TO OUR MUSLIMS FRIENDS IN HERE SO THAT WE WILL HAVE THEM HERE IN THE FUTURE, WITHOUT IN DRUNKER THAN THE DRUNKEST MODE!"

Aye! Muslims might go beyond the Islamic rules but verily, they will feel disturbed if the religion itself being in unbeliever's words of disparage. Can anyone respect the right of being sensitive on things that might be not to others? I can kick any cat's butt if I found them peeing on my car's wheelcap but I just respect the right of being sensitive if I would not commit that in front of SPCA officials. Or I might just utter " Oh! How nice to have my car choosen as their territory!" in wholly hipocrisy.

Anyway, may 1430 brought a cheerful life with an ample grace and a beautiful guide light to the repentant path.

It was built on an evenly formatted land. The building is almost complete. The one who pay the contractor keep on observing the works. Pending completion, lot of commotions taken places.

It going to be two sense of interpretation that could applied.

Firstly, a contractor that doing his job perfectly both in time scale and the quality, keep on arguing the client’s monetary background straightforwardly and made the client thinking on abandoning the project in irritation. Abandon. Not because they intended to reopen the bid. It means that the client still have faith on the one they appointed before not only to build, but also to maintain.

Secondly, the contractor that sustained doing their job perfectly and patiently to abide a lucrative contract from a so-called perfectionist client. At the final superficial stage, the client questioned the whole profound job as to say that it was a lousy masonry maneuver. The contractor is completely annoyed and call for adjourment but facing refusal.

I never found it easy for me to classify both us in which of both situations in comparison.

I'm looking for this 10,000th visitor from Johor Bahru. Please contact me to redeem a return ticket KL - Ipoh - KL by train that worth RM20.00. Congratulation to the lucky visitor.

It less than a fortnight away from the first day of year 2009 which was the year that predicted as the downturn year. But I don’t care much on that. I’m still far away from the business community. Doesn’t mean that I’m feeling secured too much with my job that being paid with the taxpayer’s money, in overall, I feel that I should focused on my job now more than before in promoting healthy life and smoothen the delivery system.

Life
From the very first hour of New Year 2008, I was thinking on the jovial rhapsody of the brand new days in the brand new year that I supposedly ‘impose’ on my life despite sorrows that attached. Days counting and life enjoyed at every stake allocated. I was influenced with so called fag-hag for months until the MLM done us apart. No thanks to Lampe Berger. In May, I bought a Perodua Viva, a 1000cc compact car which I drove on the first time as a person that for years never steer any wheels. For the first 8000km, I felt proud with the fact that, I’m a driver without valid driving license. But a few hours after I successfully passed my driving test, a car crushed on my car’s buttock in Ampang on July 11. Isn’t it ironic? By the end of August, I met Wan which is now, being my honey despite tens of commotion that we went through in the process of knowing each other. I fall into his sincerity beside few other things that might never work for a relationship. But we are working hard to regulate everything. To date, I believe that we had passed through phases that even a year old relationship had not gone through it yet.

Work
At the early stage of 2008, I was kept in nuisance over the sub-division that I was putted as the person who accountable for the distribution plan. I then switched the responsibility with my colleague that held the same post as me but far younger. This is due to the mishap that I experienced when my 2 month old car involved in an accident which has hampered the efficiency of my authority on managing the sub-division. And now, this green boy is whining more than I ever did before. :-P

Family
My mom and dad now had a bending thought on my bachelorship. My younger brother is now a divorcee and thus, I could make them realized that I never going to seek marriage for the reason of happiness. After me rejecting my mom’s proposal to get me a wife which is her friend’s daughter, she had lowered down the tune now at least for few years ahead. Haha.

Friends
Oh my. Friends are comforter, and friends might be a poisonous inhaler. But being wise about friends since the day I left my house for the playground to seek friends back in 1983, I could say that I’m not a ‘beruk tunggal’ that only try to make friends with anyone recently. I love having PLU friends from G4M and straight friends of my hometown and workplace. The serious fact is, straight friends never act like girls of the girl’s school. They don’t bother to create camps and gangs and influenced people. They wish to be as neutral as they could be and back stabbing is something that beyond necessity. Besides three quarter of persons that I knew through G4M which I could describe as those with ‘high plasticity index’ of attitude, I’m happy to be with the remaining quarter that always can be trusted and decent like Azward, Khaile, Eddie Meksin, Yama, Amar, Benster, Isk, Kuzuto, Chumie and many more. Yes, 3 out of 4 are completely kiddo.

2009 Anticipation
I wish that I can keep my weight below 80kg. I also wish that I can overcome obstacles so I could further my study.

I was on my way to Mutiara Damansara just now when I passed the Touch N Go toll gantry at Ampang-KL Elevated Highway. I was tailing a Toyota Alphard which I would say, driven by another Malaysian.

I will boldly note the racial classification of the driver if I could see the driver.

The toll gate had a malfunction moment when I saw it vertically positioned which is I never alerted. Only when the Toyota Alphard lowering the speed whilst passing the scanning unit without flashing its card, I knew that it was a chance to experience a freeway moment of the elevated highway.

But I never feel that I should do the same. I stop and flash my card to get RM1.50 being deducted. I used the facility with my Viva and it was my moral obligatory to pay for the service. After all, it just RM1.50.

Then I have a close thought in my mind, why on earth we have this skinny rich people in this country? It more less showing to me that some loaded people are taking the obligation of paying RM1.50 for granted.

Maybe they feel that they had pay enough in form of taxes but will that makes them feel that they have the right to run away avoiding the RM1.50 charge?

Coldplay

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Obama in Malaysia? In fact, this Obama is born in Malaysia! Hehe. This is quite hilarious. It looks like Obama face is everywhere. Anyway, this anonymous guy which I browsed recently from this website must now gain preety much attention than before.

This evening I was trembled by the fact that I found while aviating on the Sabah skyline through Google Earth. A 6.2 in Richter Scale earthquake with 33 km depth had once shook somewhere near Lahad Datu in July 26, 1976, a day before the deadly Tangshan earthquake that resulted in the loss of life of over 650,000 persons in northeast China.

The 6.2 earthquake with such depth should cause mass destruction as similar as the Yogjakarta 2005. But the main reason of this event had not taken into our geographic history is, there is no casualty reported and maybe the tremor hits an uninhabitant region or the destruction is minor due to the rural and underdeveloped environs.

The bothersome fact is that Sabah, is counting days on the next earthquake and the impact on the occurrence then shall be difference with the 1976 earthquake due to the recent development of new structures and facilities. By now, the Ministry of Education should stop shoving down the pupil’s throat with the deceiving fact of “Malaysia is not exposed to the tectonic activities”.

Supremacy! What kind of load does this word carries. When all the non-Malay community talking on ‘Malay Supremacy’ which is actually an idiom for ‘Malay as the largest portion of race pie in this country’, a lot of ultra-Malay citizen feel disturbed. The point to ponder on is always the fact that most of non-Malay citizen are not well versed with Malay idioms. This phrase is actually assumed to be figures of speech that contradict the principle of compositionality. Why they did not get it? No thanks to vernacular system adapted.

How about having 90% of Chinese section programs in Cantonese here in this country! We have Hakka, Teochew, Hinghwa, Hainan, Hokkien, Hockchew and we know that the Mandarin is the official Chinese language in Malaysia. Cantonese is widely used at sites, important and prolific meetings of Chinese company, on TV, at pasar malam, at Petaling Street and enforcing all Chinese getting to know Cantonese. It should be noted that although Cantonese is among the oldest language in China, the people of Kwangtung are actually the latter coming to the Peninsula and to date, only represent 23% of the Chinese population. What if we call it as “Cantonese Supremacy”?

Also the “Tamil Supremacy” on Indian people in this country. As Punjabi, Malayalam, Hindi, Telugu, Ceylonese was also Indian, do they feel that they are forced to accept the Tamil language is the language of the Indian? If they did not, maybe they are not brave enough to query the reason why Tamil education system is chosen to represent the Indian community. Furthermore, India itself is having Hindustani as the official language. Why don’t the Tamil people give up their ‘supremacy’ that overshadowing the all-Indian rights and start having Hindustani as the language of Indian community?

The answer is simple. The majority is actually brings together the rest into a post-result of racial assemblage which is definitely favoring the largest part of the people. Like Kedah give up the Siamese language, Bugis is not having Bugisian news on telly, Banjar people never have their own newspaper and Javanese are not entitled their own radio station and each of ethnic of East Hindi in this country is answering the call for unity and used Malay Language as their inter-ethnic language. Nothing such Javanese is superior than the Minangkabau or Johor-Riau is better to Kedah. The Malay Language is chosen after Indonesia choosing it and called it Bahasa Indonesia. No ethnic is supreme above the others.

So, when will the “Tamilization” and “Cantonization” will ever end? If that was not a superiority of one over the others, what it was actually is? Instead of dancing on the rhythm of the politic polemics, why don’t they spend more time learning the Malay Language and get their comprehension right on the nature of the language itself that having idioms as the precedence of beautifying the way to address.

With the current issue of the landslide, do read my letter to the editor of Utusan Malaysia that has been published today, 9th December 2008 in the Forum section of the daily. I don't wish to paste it here because I really want Utusan to get off the boycott campaign. LOL.

NORMAL OCCURRENCE


A) Soil that slip down from failed slope piled up on the solid ground and bury houses.

B) The Ground Water Table is evenly leveled by the flat nature of the lower ground.

C) The formation of the solid ground and the almost horizontal level of ground water are mostly made by the position of the substratum that shaping the contour.

D) The underground water flows down rapidly by the force of gravity to conjoin the stable ground water level.


BUKIT ANTARABANGSA DEC 6 LANDSLIDE
A) Faulty slope slip with the water movement down beneath the top soil. Houses lifted, moved away and dreadful damage of the top soil tore the buildings and may lift the lawn higher than the rooftop.

B) The soft ground enables the water to create porosity and thus pulling down the slope into, together with the downward ground water movement.

C) The substratum of the surface level is still sloping down and the whole flat land above is not properly located on flat bedding, thus exposing the whole area to massive earth movement.

D) The ground water flows down with the bedrock as the datum by the force of gravity to conjoin the stable ground water level which technically located somewhere lower.


THE REASON WHY..

The most probable reason is the process of development that create artificial waterways which has eliminate the natural stream of a virgin land. The natural stream, by it nature that made by the bedrocks, creates a water current beneath the surface of the original stream. When the soil get saturated, the gravity will caused the volume to release the energy that refrained to move all this while by the short of total faulty factor. This might caused by rain and also man made factor such as leaking pipe, drainage or sanitary system in a long term basis.

Massive landslide turns 14 houses into rubbles yesterday and left the owners loosing millions of ringgit worth of residency in Bukit Antarabangsa, 6 km from my house. 4 people found dead while another victim was still missing. I can't imagine how the victims dealing with the fact that their mansion, cars, valuables are awfully terrorized by the force of the nature. It really dwarfed the sadness on spoilt of tens of thousand ringgit furniture, chandeliers, bedroom sets, carpets, glazing marbles and more than what you could imagine, a must for a bungalow furnishing.






Landslides occurred not only on developed hill slopes. It also happens anywhere in hilly landscape covered by virgin forest due to the natural occurrence of extra torrential rain that pours and raising up the ground water exceeding the normal level. The gravity will force the water to move down and if the cohesive factor of the soil is low and the porosity is homogeny, nothing would stop the water to brought mass quantity of soil slipping down along with it downward movement.

Whenever earth slips onto one's property, the typical attitude always made development as the main point of the blame game. In fact, why should we put ourselves in risk if we actually know the probable consequence? There is nothing to do with the property owner. Nobody cares on the necessity of doing an extra study on geology whenever they want to purchase a house unless one's willing to be labeled as extra-paranoia. Most people swallow all the assurance shoved down their throat by the developers.

Lets read what I’ve wrote to Utusan Malaysia back on 12 June 2005, when a landslide affecting few residence of Taman Zooview :


" KEJADIAN tanah runtuh di Hulu Klang, Selangor dan jambatan runtuh di Papar, Sabah baru-baru ini membuktikan faktor ekonomi telah mendorong manusia untuk menafikan hukum alam. Ini tidak dapat tidak meletakkan dua kejadian ini adalah kesilapan manusia pada peringkat perancangan awal, bukannya kehendak alam semata-mata, yang berlaku atas sesuatu yang direncanakan.

Jika dilihat rekod kejadian tanah runtuh di Hulu Klang sejak tragedi Highlands Tower 12 tahun lalu, seharusnya pihak berwajib sedia maklum akan hakikat bahawa tanah di kawasan Hulu Klang adalah berlainan.

Hal ini disebabkan muka bumi kawasan tersebut berbukit-bukit dan mempunyai tanah yang longgar serta mudah menggelongsor akibat dipengaruhi graviti apabila berlaku aliran air bawah tanah luar biasa berikutan taburan hujan yang tinggi bagi sesuatu tempoh tertentu. Perkara ini turut diakui oleh pakar geologi.

Maka sepatutnya, kawasan seperti ini tidak perlu dibangunkan langsung atas sebab-sebab keselamatan dan secara tidak langsung, warisan hijau di kawasan tersebut terpelihara. Namun, kerana nilai hartanah yang cukup tinggi di kawasan tersebut, termasuk tarikan pemandangan kota yang turut menjadi faktor tambah nilai hartanah kawasan tersebut, ia dibangunkan.

Kesannya, rentetan tanah runtuh di Hulu Klang tidak mungkin terhenti selagi hujan menyirami muka bumi Kuala Lumpur yang merupakan kawasan kedua terbasah di pantai barat Semenanjung selepas Taiping. Hanya penyaliran air bawah tanah yang efektif dapat mengurangkan risiko tanah runtuh di Hulu Klang.

Namun, ia tidak mungkin terlaksana dalam masa terdekat akibat faktor ekonomi, kerenah birokrasi serta pembangunan sedia ada."


Nevertheless, I can feel the heartrending of loosing property; love ones and the aftermath trauma. I extend my condolence to those who are affected by this normal process of surface formation of the earth that always ongoing.

I successfully scaled the NSE of E2 (the southbound) with my WRG5061’s odometer in September, and beong a frequent user of Ipoh – KL fragment. Last Sunday i.e. the 30th November turned to be the northbound task for me. Unfortunately, to get to Kota Sarang Semut, a town 16km south of Alor Star, I had to get off the highway with short of 59km to complete the whole NSE scaling experience.

With this journey, I have successfully driven on 93.18% of the NSE with a total length of 820km of the whole 880km within 3 month! While most of my journey within the period doesn’t counts, the record that I’ve made shown that on Sept 1, 2008, my odometer cumulated a total of more than 16,000km and today the figure is totaling some 24,000 km. 8,000km for three month with an average of 88.18km per day. With the fuel consumption designed at 18km/litre, the car has consumed 444 litres of petrol in 90 days.

Anyway, there is nothing important about it. Haha!~

I’m here again writing. Too much issues to be analyze and some of these issues are those that best described as “ ngoh mh’ jungyhi aa “, a Cantonese phrase for “ I dont like it!”. I was bedazzled recently by the fact that I’m getting reconnected with my alma mater’s friends. Some are loosing contact for 15 years! Thanks to Facebook.

Anyway, I’m not in a mood of writing. Sometimes, you might found bombastic words in here and sometime the whole posting is a ‘raw material’ that at least for the designed purpose, delivers the message clean and clear.

For perfectionist out there, give some space for flaws as what we have there in our real life. You might have big comfy cars, but when you waive down a taxi cab, you wouldn’t get a red and white Vios that will stop to accommodate you. (Although I found one Vios cab in Ipoh... hahhaha)

Let things move from crawl to toddle, from walk to run. Speed-up your car while you are not in hurries is a gas wasting and never a time saver when you are actually wasting it there upon arriving.

Yesterday, I was thinking on going back to KL as early as during the moonset. But I had not. After having my lunch at favourite Mamak reading some article that supporting mine that being published 2 days before, I decided to overstayed my mom's welcome and thinking on going back to KL on Sunday. The reason why I said so is when my mom keep saying " Hang tak kerja ka? Hang bila nak balik? Hang jangan nak ponteng kerja! Bla bla bla.." The other reason is when Nazra had idea out that at Kampong Simee, there is a clinic that selling MC for RM10. Haha. But when I think on my intention to go to OUM on Saturday, I decided to head south early this morning.

Hah! Its 5.40 AM! How am I going to reach my office before 8.30 by using the Federal Route. Ahh.. selamba badaklah! It was a smooth journey although my sight is shortened by 200 power indication. What that 200 really means? Lantak kan. I overtook trailers, lorries, busses with my extra given instinct. Do I really have that? Lantak kan. The full moon is like 20 degree from the horizon and whenever I passed mosques especially in Gopeng I lowered down my speed as it was Subuh prayers time.

I passed the misty Batang Padang district before I entered the PLUS highway at Behrang interchange at 7.29AM and passing Jalan Duta toll gate at 8.15. Ah! I successfully saves RM 15 by using the old route.

But KL always being a blood-pressure skyrocketing agent for me. Despite morning congestion, a phone conversation that I had, which I was the one who recieve it, was made on commotion basis. The commotion ended at the PLUS higway, few hundreds metres from UPM interchange.

I was waived down by a patrol car and being charged of using the telephone without using hands-free-kit. With a strong language of advice, I was released. This is what people said as the luckiest part of being a civil servant.. which I never had a chance to experience it in my 5 years service.

By now, if any of your call on me went unanswered, one of the reason is, I'm driving!!! Even I feel not-so-good with my attendence scanned on 9.25AM, I feel more unpleasant with the ignorance of anyone that never understand that, having emotional phone conversation although with hands free kit while steering the wheels, is actually offensive!!

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

It was a tiresome day I went through today. Woke up at 8 in a misty morning, drove down the highway to Taman Meru and left my car at my 'pilot's' home. ( a term 'driver' is considered gross among chaffeur in civil service )

We departed at about 9 for Penang and arrived Georgetown at 12 after 1½ hours stranded at the congested Penang Bridge entrance. The person that supposed to recieve the things we brought was not there in his office and we need to unload it after lunch break.

It such a beautiful day in Penang . But I don't have my camera with me. :-( ... Should I was there at Love Lane with my camera, surely there is nothing more catchy than a bunch of schoolboys, absurdly in absence of Malay boys, walking out the school gate and lit up cigarettes without hesitate... yea.. a peculiar sight indeed. Usually I found Malay boys do so..

Pending the clock strike 2, we have our lunch at Line Clear, a Nasi Kandar stall which is... terribly located at an alley heading to a compound surrounded by pre-war shop terrace at Penang Road. If this kind of premise ever exist in KL, I bet, no one in handsome office attire are willing to get themselves be seated by the waiters.. But here.. loads of them no matter Chinese, Indian of Malay, holding plates full of Nasi Kandar, longing to look for empty seat! ( maybe it was a rare occurance and i was like so lucky to see that... and whatever!)

We went to Chowrasta Market doing some nutmeg bargain and get all the stuff unloaded (tu yang paling penting.. tapi tetap last) by 3.30 before we left Penang heading down to Ipoh.

Ah! Azward texting me saying that he want to meet me in Ampang. Seems that I was in Ipoh, and Ipoh do have its own Ampang, see you there at Ipoh's Ampang! #$%^&*!!! I want to have an early snore... Damn.. my back is aching... as I'm............ going......... ya....... drive............ zzzzzzz
....zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I was now in Ipoh before leaving Ipoh for Penang tomorrow and will be back to my position in Putrajaya on Friday. This morning, I'm driving all the way north with mixed feeling. Utusan Malaysia that I bought at Percinct 16 Petronas was there next to me. Prior to that, I was fascinated with what I saw today on one Malay daily portal early this morning. That makes me bought the dailies even I'm not a die-hard subscriber. What was the impact to the readers? To be precise, how that will get into a million nationwide readership's attention.

Whenever I trapped in traffic congestion or met a stopping traffic light before the highway, I will quickly read the page that since this morning, being attractive then ever to me. The phenomenal occurance was last happened few month ago. But then, the smooth driving prohibits me to read more about it. I have to reach Ipoh before noon.

Only afew could experience how was the excitement, the thrill of reading their own thought that being published in an influential newspaper. But this not my first time. I have almost 20 of them being published since 2003. The extraordinary of this one is, it bear a heavy load in it.

But first of all, I would like to let you guys know that I'm neither right winger nor leftist. My opinions are based on things that related with simple logics and if it read as an input to hurt the feelings of others, I'm sorry. But verily, truth is sometimes, bothersome. Now let me share the article with you..


Kemenangan Barack Obama dipilih sebagai Presiden Amerika Syarikat (AS) menjadi inspirasi kepada bukan Melayu di Malaysia untuk menjawat jawatan Perdana Menteri. Kata mereka, batas warna kulit kini sudah tidak ada. Batas perkauman bukanlah sesuatu yang perlu menjadi penghalang kepada pemilihan Perdana Menteri di negara ini.

Tetapi mereka butakan mata kepada kenyataan bahawa pemilihan Obama berlaku setelah beliau berusaha keras menolak pendapat yang mengaitkannya dengan Islam. Obama semahu-mahunya menyebut bahawa dia dilahir dan dibesarkan sebagai seorang Kristian.

Pun begitu, dalam forum-forum Internet berpangkalan di AS, beribu-ribu pembenci Obama tetap mengaitkannya dengan Islam. Dia tetap dianggap sebagai seorang yang perlu ditakuti hanya kerana bapanya seorang Muslim Kenya.

Mengapakah bukan Melayu di negara ini yang inginkan jawatan Perdana Menteri Malaysia ini membutakan mata pada fakta bahawa, walaupun keterbukaan yang dicanangkan, kecenderungan untuk memihak kepada kumpulan majoriti tetap berlaku.

Jangan mengambil contoh kemenangan Obama sebagai penghapus batas perkauman di AS sekiranya batas keagamaan tetap menjadi penghalang pemilihan pemimpin.

Dalam UMNO, terdapat jika tidak beratus, mungkin berpuluh-puluh Cina Muslim yang menjadi ahli yang kompeten dan aktif berpolitik. Mereka dengan bangga telah terasimilasi sebagai umat Melayu.

Ini sesuai dengan definisi Melayu mengikut Perlembagaan ialah seorang yang beragama Islam dan menggunakan bahasa Melayu dalam kehidupan harian.

Tetapi itu tidak membuatkan mereka hilang kecinaan. Mereka masih bebas menguasai dan bertutur bahasa ibunda mereka

Malaysia boleh memiliki Perdana Menteri berbangsa Cina. Dan UMNO tidak ketandusan ahli politik berketurunan Cina yang beragama Islam yang mampu memanjat tangga politik di negara ini untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Para pemimpin MCA, DAP, Gerakan dan PKR yang berbangsa Cina dan bukan beragama Islam seharusnya berhenti bermimpi dan ambil iktibar daripada pilihan raya Presiden AS yang penuh onak dan duri akibat isu agama.

Keengganan bukan Melayu untuk berasimilasi satu ketika dulu meletakkan mereka sebagai pihak yang hari ini belum layak untuk menjadi pengemudi bahtera politik negara ini. Soal agama tidak payah diceritakan kerana jelas, rata-rata mereka dipengaruhi Islamofobia hingga takutkan istilah 'negara Islam' untuk dipakai di negara ini.

Jika dahulu konsep 'Satu Bangsa, Satu Negara, Satu Bahasa' diamalkan mungkin telah lama bangsa yang asalnya 'bukan Melayu' ini menjawat jawatan Perdana Menteri. Tetapi harus diingat, kekangan akibat perbezaan agama tetap ada seperti mana berlaku di AS.

Siapa yang sedar bahawa Thaksin Sinawatra atau nama Cinanya, Khoo Tat Seng sebenarnya berketurunan Cina Hakka dari Meizhou, Guangdong yang moyangnya tiba di Siam pada tahun 1860-an. Beliau telah berjaya terasimilasi ke dalam bangsa Siam. Namun, setelah menjawat jawatan Perdana Menteri Thailand, apakah kebaikan yang dibawa olehnya ke atas bangsa Siam.

Perdana Menteri Singapura, Lee Hsien Loong membuat kenyataan bahawa negara itu mungkin boleh dipimpin oleh Perdana Menteri dari kaum Melayu-Islam.

Tetapi pada masa yang sama, beliau menyatakan bahawa sentimen majoriti menguasai segala-galanya dan kemungkinan untuk melihat perkara tersebut berlaku bukanlah dalam masa terdekat. Gula-gula retorik ini enak dipandang tetapi tak mungkin dapat dipegang.

Di AS, Obama mendapat 52 peratus daripada keseluruhan undi. Sekiranya keseluruhan penduduk Afrika Amerika, Hispanik dan Asia memberikan undi kepadanya, jelas bahawa 74 peratus daripada pengundi Caucasian enggan mengundi Obama.

Sepatutnya mereka yang membawa idea masanya telah tiba untuk jawatan Perdana Menteri disandang oleh kaum bukan Melayu, haruslah membuat kenyataan berdasarkan kajian menyeluruh bagi mengelakkan pendapat mereka dilabel sebagai idea bertaraf 'yang membahayakan kesihatan' semata-mata.


I left the other thing about the article for you guys to search it by yourself if you feel something amiss regarding things that you wish to know more. Mr. Google might help you. And please don't tag me with 'racist' label. It is a mere freedom of speech as everyone is free to say anything. But being in freedom of speech doesn't mean we have to turn deaf ears on the contradiction one. Lastly, with this article, I was actually granting someone's request on Cbox!!

Question:
8 Nov 08, 15:03 kokesah: pak tam.. nak entry dr pak tam pasal org2 bukan Melayu sibuk nak PM bukan Melayu pas Obama menang.. *matila demand lagi!

Answer:
Sinchan, ko request kat Cbox.. aku jawab kat Utusan.. :-)

We demand a change. Obama said " Aye! The change is coming". But it resound the rhetoric of a political campaign that aired everywhere. We want a moderate us to fit with moderate them. But none wish to give up anything and made us moving like a parallel rail track that never meet each other.

Chances was never a good word to reflect courtesy in a plural form compare with the singular one. Apology is sacred if it given once rather than a repeated utterance. Forgiveness is not a licence for us to repeat the wrongdoing.

Sometimes, the courteous us that evolving care and tender is too attractive to take others' eyes off it. Between two personalities, the sense of care on each other might appear. But a lot more things should be considered before both are eligible to enjoy companionship.

Rome is not built in a day. Better late than never. But some people want it built in hurry. And the result will absolutely horrendous.

Fragile building will succumb easier when the wind blow stronger than usual. Pondering on a frail relationship shall caused an exorbitant damage to the feelings. As bad news travels fast, relationship that built without proper reinforcement will get disbanded like scattering ice on the spoon as the result of inordinate prejudice.

No one love to be forced for a personality change that they claimed is something that they born with. If they believe they could, the way they would is an arguably fact.

Every cloud has a silver lining. Worse of today maybe the best for the future. If we could not meet the understanding, revise everything in damage control measure. What people may say is not the issue. Those who laughs best who laugh last.

Love can be a bless and love can be a curse. Trust is the steel bar for tower of relationship. Don't let ourselves creates a situation that will made others consider to fabricate things on petty issue just to meet our satisfactory.

Sometimes, to love someone is to let them go. If both couldn't tolerate anymore with misbehavior of each other, just be friends that always there when we need rather than a couple that pouts and trading egoistic statements with each other. Irritability is all time annoying and importuning it is always laid on hypocritical basis.

We never be able to eliminate the love feelings but we should bear in mind that not every love feelings is associated with companionship especially the instant one. Never hesitate to flag for a temporary break as an act of recession for a further reconsideration. A flagged train never stalled on the track forever as it wait for a whistle-blowing signal to make it move again.

In the USA, the media became prophets for the people which relying so much on the media prophecy. They rely on CNN, Fox News and many other news agencies and portals which known to be owned by Jewish lobbyist. The people, tend to spend hours watching TV with snacks after snacks when comes critical moment such terrorist attack and presidential election. It is proven right that the media has successfully created the way American think today.

The evidence that supporting this is the fact that Republican supporters blaming the media for making McCain defeated by Obama. Thoroughly, why on earth the Jewish lobbyists are all out for Obama's victory?

If all African American and Hispanic section that made 35% of the total US population are giving their votes to Obama, The 52% of total votes gained by Obama reflecting that 74% of the Caucasian are not willing to vote for black president.

This is an anxious trend when we ruled in the white terrorism that born from white supremacy. Although Obama was still a president in making few days ago, two white monkeys is now prosecuted for assassination plot.

After a conspiracious measure in bringing the economy towards a crisis, will these people that occupying the topmost level of human 'food chain', are now planning to drag the US in political crisis? Was the full support for Obama is a mere reason for a scapegoating purpose? After all set and done, the US, with economical and political crisis will drag the whole world into anarchy and then, come a new power that designed to impose a total worldwide despotism.

Only those with the master plan that knows what are they try to do. As the people of the opposite hemisphere, we only could guessing and take our own precautious measure.

Verily, the end is near.

I would like to personally congratulate Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama for the handsome winning on the precidency election for the grand power of the world, United States of America. "Kamu bener-bener hebat deh!". Grandeur! He must be the only American president which having the ability to communicate in Malay of Indonesian version, although it is an arguable fact as he left Indonesia almost 40 years ago. Whoever occupying the Oval Office, nothing much to be predicted. The policies and the tendency of Mr. President is clearly reflecting an image of a puppet for the 'Tok Dalang' which everyone knew who. Being the first African American president, he now inspired the 'non-natives' in other countries to dream on leading the hosting nation. Surely I hope that there will be no catastrophic occurance regarding this since USA was filmed to be hit by asteroids while African American being the president such in Deep Impact movie. ( Gasp! gasp! gasp! ) Finally, I do feel awkward when the newly choosen President enjoyed the Muslim World favouritism even he clearly stated that he got nothing to do with Islam, he's a Christian, and he never wanted to be assosiated with Islam just because he got 'Hussein' in his name.

Betong is the southernmost town of Thailand. Located only 8km from Perak border of Malaysia territory, Betong is the 'heaven of pussy-catch-boys' from our country, particularly the Northern people and also from the Klang Valley. I'm telling you this since I heard that cc Yaakob, ( cc means Chief Clerk ), from the neighboring department that share the same floor with mine years ago, is a frequent visitor of Betong. But what I'm going to tell you is how Betong had changed friends in my hometown a lot.



One fine night, while we gather in nightly alfresco tea hours, Butit is not having any drink. "Hang apasai tak order, Butit?" I asked him why he doesn't get any drink for himself, as everyone is having one or two. "Butit simpan duit! Nak pegi Betong!" Ja'a replying behalf of Butit which the meaning is close to the idea of Butit is now having a strict piggy bank budget for the next trip to Betong. He added "Butit skang dah jadi assistant Edi!" Hah. Being the assistant of Edi?

I realized that since few months back, Edi, that worked in KL, frequently crossing the international border like twice a week. Can you imagine how far the traveling distance was? Ipoh to Betong is about 220km as same as Ipoh to KL. So a single way journey is 420km and for back and forth, it is 840km. If Edi went to Betong twice a week, he must be traveling 6,720km a month for this purpose. And if this becomes a continuous happening, Betong might make him traveling 80,640km a year! Why he sounds so energized this much?



"Edi dah ada 'bini' kat sana." Ja'a told me that Edi had a rhetorical marriage with a Thai girl! "Mak budak tu pun suka kat Edi" which means the Thai girl had even brought Edi to her house and get her mother to know Edi, and Edi's 'mother-in-law' was astoundedly, happy!

Last Saturday, I stopped by at Jai's house and Ja'a is having a new hair style with Jai's maneuver of hair dressing. He let go his Beegee's style for a Mohawk one. The reason came out from the others is "Ja'a skang sudah ada awek!" Oh no. Beside his words that sounded like teasing the Betong frequenters, Ja'a is actually a frequent visitor too and worse enough, also has a Thai girlfriend!

Oh my! I wish that none of their cross border girls are among those who offered their service to monstrous cc Yaakob, the old playboy from Putrajaya. LOL.

I asked Ja'a, which never had a girlfriend before.. which I once falsely thought was a gay in disguise, why on earth they had to subscribe the same girl in the sex city for every visit? Ja'a told me that, for the first visit, yes, you ought to pay. But once you give some lovely attributions, they will wait for you to come and give 'the-thing-you-look-for' for free, and perhaps, hoping for a 'marriage with Malaysian'.



Sigh. Is this the early consequence of the girls with degree abundance in Malaysia that makes SPM leaver boys seeking for girls from Betong? I guess not.

'Okay Betong' is a famous Thai telemovie in 2003 that these Betongese Wannabe should take few lesson to learn. It is a story about a Buddhist monk that traveling south, facing difficulties when he have to operate his sister's saloon in Betong after his sister died in a so-called Muslim insurgent attack on the train she board. Besides being handling life as a saloon owner and how to wear pants properly, he had to lend his care to his one and only niece as a Muslim girl as how his deceased sister brought her up. How that girl born as a Muslim? His sister had once married a Malaysian Muslim frequent visitor which is then, fade away. The movie also highlighting how the ex-monk had to deal with his own anger towards Muslims, that he believed had killed his sister, and that has run away of holding responsibility as the father of his niece.


Hopefully, none of my friends will be the 'fade-away' father of a Betong Muslim girl in future. :-)

Mazidul Akma Sidik (MAS) is a controversial host for a investigation programme aired on TV3. Due to the exposure in 360, most of the g4m members express their dissatisfaction on him. While I was busy composing for the Betong post, there's a thread that drew my attention. A Mazidul Makeover Contest. So I spent couple of hour on the art of 'makeover' using Paint even my honey told me to sleep early! Sorry dear. I just can't resist this kind of game! Huhu..

This is MAS pic that being the datum of the game.

This is the four version of him with different theme i.e. The Oriental Exotica, The Day For The Party, The Bollywood Fever and The Corporate Women.

Anyway, it just for fun. Now I really have to sleep!

Bought in Aug 2007, my belonging, a Nikon Coolpix L2 is considered as among the valuable item of mine. Unfortunately, the lens became gila and starts to go dysfunction before 7000th snap. Perhaps it was a sign for me to get another camera which is more expensive than this one. Some might say, "Aiya.. buy handphone with camera lah!" . But I would say " A phone is a phone. A sole device to produce a meticulous image is a camera." Those with the absence of art in photography might rely on their communication cum image capturing device. Some also tend to give a statement such "My handphone aa.. seven megapixel wor! You have aa?" . Even I started with that cheap and lousy one; it still suits my desire on image production. Let a cellphone be a cellphone. I might buy one if camera manufacturers invent ' camera with communication device ' as to compete with ' handphone with image capturing device ' made by cellular device manufacturers. Being persnickety enough, let separate both of it and.... I hate video calls.

This blog has underwent a conceptual change to cater (also means to seek) a worldwide attention.. ( yes i'm dreaming.. do i care?). The glimpse.. the limelight.. the cheering.. the jeering.. the anything to be well mentioned.

1st November 2008 is the date of the template change which is always a change to the format too. The 14 month domination of Malay speaking content of this blog, is abetting deterioration of my English if not boldly, it can be said, not slightly. For a total Malay section of blogosphere, it was indeed, a lost.

Switching to English mode is not making me a grammatically perfect blogger. As an example, we did consume a lot of things that bad to our health but we knew that we need the good element off the bad item, i.e the taste, so we let the bad things harm us. But a grammatical error isn't harm us rite? Just swallow it down and get the taste of the main points.

The adaptations of the English Language format in posts will almost halving the coverage of the posts. The else will be formal and colloquial Malay, Manglish, Indlish & Chinlish and designed to be (if it gonna be, it will be) a platform of critical thinking.

Thoughts will be a regular but not to be looked as the path of this blog is headed too. Sometime thoughts that taught would not teach anyone to be a morally corrected people. To learn something, one should seek it by themselves rather than lending ears to a sermon like taught hours.

Views on politic will be added like how the concept of this blog, which is actually not. No one prefer to get indulge with too much politic. Maybe if Obama and Anwar eaten from a same lunchbox the people may run the politic portal in a deep gossips thirst.

The aspect of this blog shall not count out humorous element. The old world of my blog is actually designed for humor purpose. But after a year, the keyboard went to my hands daily to note almost everything and I would like to get all the people attention, that i'm not a self-broadcast (i made this word today? huray!) man. Hence, should I be the king, even the beggar will know my undies brand.

Sight seeing is the color of this white template. The color came from the photos that I had to think on the catchiness and weird encounter like feelings way of publishing images. Photobucketing, uploading, linking, copying, pasting, and everything that would make it as a thing, with colors, is the all-I-had-get channel in attracting eyes upon this plain white screen with letters.

The uttermost theme of this blog is making the URL as a worth surfing site of public opinions through polls, precisely among the pee all you.. no.. pee eld you..

Say goodbye to a diary like posts and updates on activities will be listed on the side column. Images are now a privatized thingy. Expect to see pics appear like seeing rare species. Hahaha.

I have no Tun to get the number of viewer sky-rocketing like Chedet did. However, I believe that the opinion, the sarcasm is worth existing if the readers could just gain a slight comprehension on the things stated and could see the points between the lines.

Gerakan veep Dr S. Vijayaratnam found dead

SEREMBAN: Gerakan vice-president Datuk Dr S. Vijayaratnam died in what is believed to be a freak accident after he fell from the rooftop of his four-storey shoplot along Jalan Tuanku Hassan.Dr Vijayaratnam, whose clinic is located at the ground floor, had apparently gone to the rooftop to inspect a leak when he slipped and fell to his death

"What a great loss for the Tamil people in Chinese dominated Gerakan party. The four term Vice President, is the highest ranking of any non-Chinese member of Gerakan which not even Malay could achieve although the party, was pioneered by Syed Hussein Al Attas, a Malay intellect. Police must not rule out any possibility of foul play in this incident. Be it a domestic crime or political motivated one."

Blog something you wish to unblock
Hit the keys faster than a leaping frog
Get the idea drain out without clog
Even it cost a full awake round the clock.

Blog is better than Google Talk
Blog does not have such a YM stalk
Blog may turns one's mouth locked
Blog is hitting apartments block to block.

Blog utterance may harder than a rock
Blog might artfully softer than a cork
Blog the lamb, hen and hog
Blog of RPK is called blog of Anwar's dog.

Blog successfully did the mock
Made the ruler get a hard-hit-knock
And pride is no more with the peacock
So the leaders now says 'lets have a blog'.

If all kings join the world of blog
Maybe blogosphere joined by Gog and Magog
If someday Sudanese blogging in tagalog
I stop it here before you call me GOBLOK!



Upon the bed, the desease I suffer most is SLEEP PARALYSIS. Sounds like a syndrome that someday will require me to sit on a wheelchair? No lah! It was just a disturbance in the motor neuron with cerebral bla bla bla that associated with REM sleep with inception of narcoplexy, cataplexy and bla bla bla which has turn our brain and the body waking up unsynchronizedly.

When I first brought the issue to the medical practitioner in Dec 2003, the doctor I'm referring to had giving me a truly inconvincing answer regarding this. In his barefaced respond he said " This must be an act of demonic visitation or jinn interference or bla bla bla..". I was like.." WTF with him.. I wouldn't ask him if I can have that the folklore kind of answer elsewhere!". I try to suggest him my own assumption. " Doctor, is it possible that this syndrome happens when our brain wake up a few second earlier than our body?". Then the doctor said, "Yes. I think you are right!".

Well, if you wish to talk about facts, people will tell you more about facts. The doctor seems to get me know more about sleep paralysis and he started to tell everything. He also said that most people choose to stick on the folklore and nothing important for them to learn about the scientific explanation. Alas, they will revile you for not believing the 'ghaib' world.

I do believe in hidden and invisible form of creature but in this REM periodical disoder, I count them out.

This is the new world of my representation in the blogosphere. Rebranding my 14 month old blog into a new deliverance channel is a must, as the former content is dragged into a self-broadcast rendition sort of blog. Here, everything going to be much more unexciting seems that diary like posts are diminished radically. It means that, images are now in a motion of putting it into privacy.

Literally, a bold gentle directness among rhetorical kinfolk is a space that liberated ideas without ruling in any sensitivity that would somehow translated as a barrier. A blend of issues, events, art and literature, satire, humor, sarcasm and sightseeing info will be the main content. In fact, it still maintaining the old version of the blog but there is something to be realized as it has being underwent a little refurbishment.

Read this blog as a not a total English composition as it will still maintained the Malay Language, Jawi writings (part of my heritage) , some Manglish (Aiya. Why like this?) or even Indlish ( Dei. What la you!). The change will only effective on the fundamental basis and of course the template. However, comments are welcomed in any language.

I’m not going to be a community pacifier in my writings. Truth must be liberated in any way even it may seem as a rebellious measure.

Bear in mind that by shoving things down your throat in English, it doesn't mean that I'm a gramatically correct blogger. Don't bother to be my Mrs Tan, Mrs Maggie Lopez, Mrs. Chin and whatever impersonation of my former English teacher.
