Khatan is NOT KhataM

Goodness...how can the author mistaken that? I'd be fooled if it's me since I do not know what is the difference between the two word: khatan & khatam...but thank goodness that there are others who can explain that..just 1 alphabet differs and it changes the meaning of the word..like A LOT.

Honestly, I find it so hilarious..LOL...(the author is editing Bahasa for a weekly magazine...oh well...i thought that publisher should consider hiring a new editor as a replacement).

All the more when the author is trying to emphasize on how it wouldn't do any changes to the non-muslim and we can all live peacefully happily ever after, it got me LMAO. Obviously, if the change in law doesn't apply to the non-muslim, then nothing will affect the live of another individual but we can never be too sure that that change is not a propaganda which will be misused by some racists.

Why do they want to enforce such an extreme law into the society when it is only aimed to be of use to one race and not affective to the society as a whole? We are trying to achieve a multiracial status in which the variety of cultures and races should be treated with equal respect. Fear will not be injected into the person who wish to perform any crime with just the passing of an act. An individual has to be educated from young of what is the expected societal behavior and the group of educators has to be dedicated enough to spread this message across. Honestly, I personally think that teachers are the ones who play the major roles in this. Should they be more dedicated and earnest in their profession, our country do not have to worry too much of schools churning out young brats and the high drop-out rates.

What must be done is to review the remuneration packages for both government and private educators and make sure that their needs are met. These people are human as well and they definitely cannot perform if they have financial worries because the course of educating itself is one energy zapping profession.

I really despise the authorities for not understanding this point -- especially every time I saw a new site allocated for shopping malls. Why? HAH...these people throw in hundreds and billions into such projects and build extravagant shopping malls loaded with high end boutiques and cafes.

Like since when we need any of these?? I don't detest growth but it should be planned and at the right projects. In Kuala Lumpur alone, we have enough shopping malls to cater the whole town. The current economy is affecting everyone and it is a BS that they tell us we are not affected due to careful planning. Big players of the world are being honest in telling their people that; yes, the country is affected and they hope that their measures are working in the near future in managing the turmoils.
We should aim for a strong 'brain' growth...instead of buying 'talents and creativity' from outsiders to help us develop in the wrong department and at the same time, allows numerous brain drain in multiple area.

OH, what a country I am living in. Well, I'm still thankful though..because this is where I'm born in...a place where I don't freeze to death or burned to hell or even suffer from natural disaster. Yes...I'm thankful for the geographical location but definitely not for the people who run this place. Those people whom I admired are long gone...either rotting six feet under or soon to rot six feet under.

Btw...at the moment I enjoy reading the comments of people on Dubai's Palm Island. which I really shouldn't. The whole morning I have not been doing anything on my thesis...seriously I should get started.
There are many things on my list you know...like:
1.Organize my thesis
2.Write to Olivia
3. Reply Dan
4. Check on Philippine and Phuket
5. Read on RA related stuff
6. Clean up my room

Yea...6 tasks are killing enough..

Malaysian's Experience of Xmas

HOHOHO! Merry merry merry Christmas..LOL...okay, I sound a lil' retarded here..ehem...ANYWAYS...Christmas has arrived! Yay! My love for festivals (espcially this one) has always been there and blooming.



It's true that I may just lie there on my bed when the morning ray of 25th December shines into my room with more dust and sand than water-like substances (except the drain water) outside my house. Then there's no Christmas carols (what's more, the radio stations are all annoying me with some latest hip hop and modern music...and some rock-sified type of Christmas songs...urghh...they should do better than this!) or Christmas tree..and what's more, the temperate now is most probably 34 degree C (the coldest temperature is 7.8 degree C and that's so yesterday back in 1978)

Anyways, all these don't extinguish that passion of mine to enjoy Christmas day. Seriously, I love all the festivals all year round. During Chinese New Year, it's the month to get loud and to enjoy a good family get-together time while during Hari Raya, it's the month to savour the rendang chicken (ohhhh!!delicious!!!) while during Deepavali, it'd be time for GHEE BALLS...and then Christmas, ahh...the harmonious festival of all with joyful laughters and jazz and.....

...BUBBLY 'SNOW'! Let it snow, let it snow!

Those are the artificial 'snows' (they are actually bubbles) generated by the Bubble machine. Like who cares, we have man-made snow in Genting, and now we have bubbly snow in Mid Valley:)p

Everyone especially the kids, are all so happy when it comes to Christmas. It's colorful with all the trees and candies.

Sometimes, I'd be hoping that I'm that free to go to all the shopping mall in PJ and Kuala Lumpur to snap the photo of their decoration and post them all online. Sighs, too bad, life is busy and I only managed to go to Mid Valley, Gardens, Pavillion, StarHill Gallery and One Utama this year round to enjoy the different ambience.

Oh by the way, everyone, this one is Elli! He is Elise's friend. He came to me because he said Lise is too busy to care about him during Winter. She will be having Summer instead...which is why Elli was given only a scarf and hat to keep him warm. She thought it's Summer time for Elli.

LOL...nah...the above paragraph is all self-created. It's actually my Christmas gift from her but the part where I call the Bear; Elli is true. Yes...he is named Elli after Elise. (Lise, ain't you proud?)

Ohhh....Christmas!Merry Christmas everyone!

Books Not To be View by those Under 12s

The author(s) most probably had a terrible childhood/drunkard dad or is a really lousy dad/single mother at the time when this book is composed.

The pages are hilarious but this is definitely the worst book ever to be created for the kids. Or...hehe..maybe it's not for the kids. Maybe it's for teens/adults who have a stupid arse for a dad. LOL...anyways, this is a funny gift if you are to buy it for your friend who has just got a newborn. (Yea..as if the newborn has not stress him up enough, you've got to stress him further with future thoughts of what his kid will think of him if they don't get along)

infants are cheap, talents are expensive

Infants may provide an accessible and inexpensive model to study mechanisms controlling the severity of dengue infections.(Halstead et al., 2002)

It made me thought that those infants sound so like mice...laboratory mice,really! inexpensive model...now they are applying a price tag to these babies...okay, now I don't have a good feeling on it...the idea is just too much!


***

Now I'm definitely gonna download (yes..download, I mean you've got to really wait for me to earn a decent income and got myself a good lil' home theater system before I will go and buy CDs for my own collection) all songs from Yiruma, listen and evaluate. I always love richard clayderman, now I guess I'm adding Yiruma to the list.

Well, I'm not a musician but I definitely love good music; especially those which shows human talents. I listen to a lot of genre but sad to say, at many times, I either forgot who is the composer/players or the title or do not know whose work is that.

You bet, if I have been slightly more fortunate when I was younger and with the right nurturing, I'd be a really talented person. I can see that talents in me...the unpolished gem locked up in one corner. Of course, one should not be hindered by his or her past. I may not have the chance to learn musical instruments when I'm young but that will not mean anything.

I promise myself that I'll find that opportunity for myself even though I'm learning it when I'm an old grandma. Haha...HAHA... *swt*...no...serious!

Go, stop your track a while and find a calm moment to realize your talents! I believe everyone has that in yourself!
