Hai-Lat-dot-com-dot-my

Well duh, i don't think it's viable for me to name the post directly as to the big issue happening in our beloved (?) country. Well if u still don get what i mean, read the title fast.

From what i've gathered, the issues raised was these:
1. Temple being demolished
2. They demanded to be compensated, from the UK gov for bringing in labour from India during their occupation in Malaya. Specifically, they demanded RM 1 million for each person, thus amounting to RM 4 trillion (tht's alot of zeros).
3. A more transparent election.

The gov argues:
1. The rally was illegal.
2. The rally disrupts peace, especially the traffic.

Results:
1. Gov, esp Pak Lah, is really pissed.
2. The Indians, though not all, are really pissed too.
3. The shopkeepers where the rally was held, are even pissed-er. Their shops were practically wrecked.
4. Drivers (like me) are pissed with all those roadblocks.

Conclusion? Everyone is pissed off. And for what reasons? Urgent and important issues, yes. But not to the extend till to take it to the international level. When the Hindraf leaders brought the issue to UN, as well as ICJ (International court of justice), I feel this is really too much.

Hindraf accuses:
1. Gov have left the Indians out especially in the economic growth.
2. Gov has oppressed the Indians.

Gov denies both accusations.

When i first read of it, i felt like laughing out loud. Like WTF... Newsflash guys, like they're not the only one left out. Nay, i think the better word is that 'not focused upon'. But we're doing ok too. And on the second accusation, they've yet to prove the oppression of the government towards the Indians.

But the thing is this, when an average Malaysian, especially the Indians for this case, read of such accusations, they're gonna get pissed. While the claim is definitely questionable, not all are gonna realise it due to the tension caused lately. In the end, most will just accept the fact that gov are oppressing the Indians, without asking for any proofs or whatsoever.

Well, IMHO, such issues can discussed WITHIN the country. What's the point of bringing this issues to UN, and ICJ?? Such disgrace to be placed upon Malaysia, especially by Malaysians ourselves!

A more transparent election? Hear hear to that. That is something everyone of us wants. While PAS claims of the 4000 phantom voters in the past election, they too have yet to present their prove.

What i feel we should be doing, is to ease off the tensions. Posting up bulletins which pretty much screams "HATE" is not helping out. Some UMNO dude suggesting that those involved in the rally should have their citizenship revoked, that is not helping either. Both actions are bound to create further tensions.

What we should do is, understand the whole situation. What i've said here doesn't necessarily points out the whole issue accurately. BUT, we really gotta help ease the situation, by not provoking any parties. No dudes not listening/not talking does not count. Expression of opinions are definitely important, as long as it is just and not too one-sided.

A'ight. Enough talking here. Feedbacks welcomed.

I’m pretty sure some of us, in fact, many of us have come across such situations. Situations, when u wanted something or someone in particular, but just couldn’t have it. Problems like he/she doesn’t return your feelings, or inseparable differences, or anything of that sort. Simply put, rejections.

Many faced and came across rejections before. Even more have been on the evil side, the one who does the rejection. So, it’s not really foreign now eh?

What happened lately was this (it’s not unto me, but to friends who are close to me), how unfamiliar events cause them unable to react, and put them in quite a confused state.

To simplify the story, I’ll use a third person point of view, i.e. her.

She was content living alone, living a single life. She was carefree, and being able to do things she wants without any constraint or obligations to any other parties (except to the police of cos).

But then, she has her own desire, her feelings towards a particular man. She wanted to move on and take it to the next level with this man. But due to some circumstances, she was unable to.

But what I’m wishing to discuss is this part.

Came along this other guy, who adores the girl, who loves the girl for who she is, and respect her in whatever she does. In fact, he’s almost everything she wanted the man (the one she liked) to respond. But in the back of her mind, she seems unable to rid of the man. Everything the guy did, she compares him to the man.

While she’s upset that the man gave her some illogical reasons, e.g. of different financial status, bla bla bla, she resorts to the same thing. She gave pretty much unreasonable reason to the guy, for unable to accept him. No time, no money, bla bla bla.

The very problem that most of us face is this, at times we wanted something so much, we tend to brush aside other things that came along. So focused we were in pursuing that initial item, that we forgot to look at the beauty of these ‘side’ things. Who knows, the thing that we wanted so much in the first place, wasn’t as good as we thought it were. More often than not, because of the difficulty faced to achieve it, we tend to believe the end result will be worthy of the effort we’ve put in.

Not the case.

However clichéd this sounds, we should always appreciate the ones around us. Or rather, right in front of us.

So yeah, I pretty much talked on the same damn thing to my friends who come across to such situations. I feel, we should instead of placing all the attentions on the ones we had crush on, why not give the ones who’s feelings are sincere a chance.

In fact, why not give yourself a chance? A person, who’s willing to change for you, respect you, love you for you, why not give both of each other, a chance? I mean, such person doesn’t come along very often. And when he/she does, are you just gonna let him slip pass?

Happiness, I believe, doesn’t fall from the sky. It is instead, something worked out mutually and together.

The reason on how a couple stayed strong together, isn’t because of the number of happy moments they have. But instead, the number of unhappy moments, and how they overcome it. How they communicate, and work things out together. That, I believe, is how couples get stronger and stronger as the years pass.

I’m writing this post because I felt some of us, were unable to see the goods in life, which are right in front of them.

Of course I might be wrong, but I have my reasons. If u say otherwise, let’s hear it.

Hear ye hear ye indeed.

Some phrases which really add spices to my life so far…..

“Kin wai, u’re the president for debate club.”

Oh kaaaaayyy… That’s…. good?

I’ll need a lot of help and guidance from the seniors and the Exco board.

So wat’s next?

Onto Royals of cos…
On one of the pre-lim rounds.

“I’ll give the verdict, and the reasons why the debate went that way. I gave the win to…”
*drum rolls*
“UTM..”

Woo hoo!!!!

And the moment that really increase our rate of heart beat, the time when the announce which team makes it to the quarter finals:
“Breaking first, with 5 wins, UiTM A.”
It went on, with each count, our heart beats ten times faster than the previous one.
“Breaking 5^th, with 4 wins, UTM A.”

SAY WHAT???? YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s my team!!

It was one of the best moments, to go on to the stage to stand among the representatives of the teams that broke, to be along side of the strongest teams; UiTM, UM, etc.

Next, of cos, the quarter finals itself…

“In room 4, the quarters junior category, UMS vs UTM, with a 2-1 split decision, the win goes to…”

Please… say UTM, or Opposition, or the ‘motion falls’….

“UMS.”

Awww… Oh well, we put up a good fight. Heck, it was very good news we came so far, looking at our history. The senior team broke as well, but same thing, knocked out in the quarters.

Ever since the black date of UTM’s debate history, we’re finally back in the map, when we are making progress and gaining recognition. Senior team breaking in last year’s Royals, Senior team getting to Finals in the NHSD last October, and now both Junior and Senior team breaking in the Royals. Such progress marks the coming back of UTM.

Of cos, I’m feeling all the pressure of the world upon my shoulder blades, to continue the legacy of the club.

Will I be able to fulfill the expectations of others?

Will I be able to continue the good job done so far?

Will I, simply put, make it?

When such doubts occurred, it was time when Kin Lik and Keith, the previous presidents, talked to the Exco board and I. Whenever I need help/guidance/advice, they’ll be around to help. Mel and others assured me that help will always be around, and we’re gonna work it out as a team.

That’s when, I felt whole lot better. In fact, I felt it’s not so bad after all.

Of cos, with such responsibilities, it’s time for me to abandon some of my humor. Gotta joke even less now. Really gotta watch my actions now on.

There’s been a few downs lately between May and I, especially during the Royals. Just on the day the tournament starts she sent a message, which really got my spirit down. I had trouble separating my personal issues from the official things.

I really don’t feel like discussing it here, but all’s well ends well. After much talk, we’re back at it together again. Today her uni friends came over for a visit. So we took them to the newly opened JJ, and dinner at Tetra. Was glad they enjoyed themselves.

But more importantly, may and I really enjoyed the day out. We went to JJ earlier, and somewhat on a date. After such long apart, and of the problems lately, it felt really good, how we were able to be close to each other and just laugh at stupid jokes (more often that not made by me).

So, basically this first week of my hols, were really trying for me. But rest assured, it’s all good at the end.

Till next time,

P.S: My mum says my dad plans to sell off my Waja, and I’ll get my dad’s Camry. WooHoo!! But of cos I’m still more than happy to drive the Waja.

Yeah... exam is over and done with. Very glad it's behind me now. And it's pretty quick, of 6 subjects the results for 4 were out. I'm happy wit it, though could've been better...

So, i got an A-, 1 A and 2 A+. Woo hoo!! My carry marks and the final paper for the a- subject wasn't that good, and hence only an a-. Got only myself to blame of cos.

Make no mistake, there's no difference is points for A and A+, it's the same damn 4.0. Pointless, but wtf.


My course finishde the exam kinda late, but i prefer the schedule to be like this. Between each paper we got like 4/5 days to study for it, instead of like an avalanche of papers. Tht's why can chill after each paper.... lol


Royals is like 3 days away, so we've been training kinda intensively. Yeah it rocks of cos. Hopefully this Royals will be as good as the previous one. Wit the 3 senior graduated, and lack of 'happy' people around, i sometimes doubt if it''ll be enjoyable. Oh well wtf, at least Mel and Iskandar can turn up the atmosphere..

Another good thing this sem, i started the sem weighing at 72/3 kg. I reduced it to 67 kg now. Woo hoo!!!

And like going on a further diet, i got myself food poisoning. Wtf of cos not intentionally la!! Tht day went out wit Mel, the day after her b'day. So like for lunch, we had this rice burger. Yeah it's made of rice. Dunno why my system can't digest the damned thing, so suffered indigestions.
So like puked and got diarrhoea... Sucked big time man...

And till now, i'm yet to recover my appetite. Every time i ate i get this wanna puke sensation. Maybe i'm becoming bulemic eh... Haha. All the better for a diet plan..

FYI, the Royals will be held in UiTM Shah Alam, which is very near to Bkt Raja JJ. Come over have a look! OR maybe like giving me some support will be nice..... Haha.

A'ight, signing out, till next time wit a more provocative issue

No i'm not talking about birthdays, nor Valentine days, nor any sort of celebration....

It's my car!! First the rear window shattered. Tht cost me RM34o to fix it.

Now, the back tyres are so bald u can see the interior of the tyre!! Fix... Cost another 330...

Damned.... Guess there'll be no new Gundam for me this hols....

The recent National Health and Science Debate held in IMU last saturday; 28th Oct.

UTM sent 4 teams, out of which 3 teams broke into quarters!! My team was 1 of the 3. Yeah it feels great. Furthermore, the old man's team went all the way to finals!! Although they lost, all of us felt this is the beginning of UTM's comeback to the debating arena..

Once upon a time, UTM debate team was feared among the other teams. But, things got worse and worse, as the lack of passing down the knowledge to the juniors. The black day of UTM, when we were banned from joining the All Asians Debate until we settle the debt, which actually spells out permanently.

The cause:
UTM was hosting the All Asians, which that year was when bird flu started. So, it was postponed, and some teams have to withdraw, as there're some clashes in their schedule.

Well, they wanted refund, but UTM has already closed the accounts. At the end, they din get back their money. Yeah they're pissed.

In the next All Asian's Meeting, the issue of UTM was brought up. It was actually a backstabbing act.... Of all uni's, UM was the one who suggested to ban UTM. This was seconded by the Japanese uni.
The thing is, UM as a M'sia uni should understand the bureaucracy involved to get the money. It's not easy and takes a long time. The cause was because the Chief Adjudicator for that All Asians was from UM, and he didn't get his money (it was only RM 800 fyi), hence the suggestion for banning.

And yes, UTM is banned for life. But fuck it, so what. it's not gonna stop us. We'll only attend one less tourney then.

More importantly, as the old guys told us, we're coming up again. We broke the in previous year Royals, and the recent achievement in NHSD, it's all looking good.

Gotta keep the club growing. One thing for sure, is that i'll be here till i graduate. Hopefully the others gonna stay as well. I'm gonna need all of you guys help..

Till then, this is just another rambling from the ass..

Farting out

So i'm back in uni again. Woo hoo! Isn't that great? Oh yeah...

Alright stop it. It was a futile attempt to act happy...

For the previous times where we've gotta go back to our uni, this is the first time that i'm leaving first before may. Well, it's equally sad as well to see her waving goodbye to me outside her house.

But it wasn't so bad this time. Why.... I guess it must be the workload i'm having, so many bloody assignments to finish in such limited time. ARGH!!! Maybe i shouldn't have gone back at all..

But then again, if i didn't i'd go crazy i'm sure. It's been like forever since i last saw may, and my friends of cos. Haha, another futile attempt to save my ass. Sorry la to others it was only few days ma.

Hmmm... Lots of things on my mind now. Later maybe will post another entry eh.

Till then, signing out.
