I start
to climb up and down. ;-) Erm, I am attempting to avoid the use of lift by walking
up and down the stairs.


Ya, it is
challenging and tiring. But, I think it will make me healthier. (Doing more
exercise) ;-)


Proves_of_gw2

P/S: One of the main usage of energy in a building is - LIFTS.

Can you make a change in your lifestyle?
Try to use stairs instead of lift. (For those who might want to use the lift)

Anyway, it’s illogical to ask a person to climb up to 10th floor by using stairs. It kills!
;-)

Maybe, you can consider to climb to a floor which you think you are afford to do so. Then use the lift.

Let say, you are staying at 10th floor. You may consider to use the stairs to 5th floor, and use lift afterward.

It’s a small CHANGE we can do, didn’t we?

I have
attended a conference in Hong Kong. It is about climate change.


Erm, what I can conclude about the summit is “There are plenty of things we can
do in order to combat climate change.”



Proves_of_gw3













One of the ways is to know more about climate change, know the proper actions
which we can take, and ACT on it!

To share with you, I have started out something "CRAZY" thing in my
lifestyle.




I will go out every early morning (around
12 midnight – 2am) in my hostel (Restu, USM) to every toilet in the same floor
of my room (6th floor) to switch off the lights which are not needed. (Nobody
in the toilet)

Those lights consume plenty of
energy! Where the energy come from? Well, it is mainly from fossil fuel (or
coal). Burning the fossil fuel will emit a lot of CO2 which is a
kind of heat trapping gas! It makes of earth warm! The more they are in the atmosphere;
more heat will be trapped in the atmosphere!


Every time I
turn off the light, there will be someone to turn it on again. Then, he will
just left the toilet without turning off the light.


I feel SAD
about the attitude of our students.


Shouldn’t
they know that, save energy is one of the ways to fight global warming?



It’s all about CHANGE! Change our lifestyle, attitude and habit. We can help the earth!


Turn off the lights (electric appliances) when you didn’t need them.

Can you do it? Are you willing to do it?
I am sure you can do it. It’s just either you want to, or not want to…

    几天前,朋友的姐姐跟我分享了她工作几年后的心得。话说,她是一切从零开始,但却对自己充满信心的工程师。由于开始时,什么都不懂,就只好厚着脸皮、不怕冷嘲热讽地向前辈取经。或翻阅书本自己摸索个清楚。

    日子久了,她已不再是什么都不会的员工,而是被上司看好的职员。这时,她也逐渐地变成了前辈们的眼中钉。认为她会威胁他们的地位,被老板选为替代前辈位置的人选。前辈们当然也不会罢休,想尽办法、用尽肮脏的手段要她自动离开该公司。她明白被施手段的原因也同情前辈们“受到威胁”的压力。最后,她选择离去该公司另谋高就。

    从这个分享,我看到了——自我保护是我们的本性。在受到威胁时,撒手段也是一种自我保护。

    该名朋友的姐姐给我的忠告是:只要你有实力,怕什么?

 

(注释:笔者不介意脑筋转得快的读者把以上的分享看成发生在民主国家的事。因为老板可以是选民,而前辈和朋友的姐姐可以是政客)

****************************************************

    这几天,我翻阅了报章后都会有错综复杂的情绪。想大声笑一番的同时,也有想落泪的欲望。这种难以形容的感觉都是看了这几天的新闻而“酿成”的。

 “警方逮捕数位参与集会人士。”“首相不会对违反者屈服、软弱。”“示威只会威胁国家安全,也不是我们的文化。”“警方有权力捕捉示威者。”

    看了多篇类似新闻心想:我们(国民)的安全真地受到威胁吗?还是某些人呢?

    更百思不解的是,还有一些自以为是的把大集会(示威)跟暴力化上了等号。没头没脑的我就差点被这不逻辑、也不合理的说法吓倒了。认为示威就会导致冲突。担心首都会发生所谓的“种族冲突”并威胁了全国人民的安全。但是,我的担心是白费的。因为在首都发生的就只是民众和警方的冲突而已。

    我从这件事吸取了教训。也就是,不能未经过思考就很理所当然地下结论。认为发生某些事后就会有着一定的后果(认为示威就会导致冲突)。这样很不公平。因为该后果是我们的幻想也是自己套上去的。切记:事事无绝对。

    也许,我们是时候改变思想的模式。朝着正确的方向思考。在不然,就干脆换个脑袋吧!正如题目:改朝换“袋”。

你我的偶像?

Sheikh_faiz_1

 大马太空人计划成功吗?身为小市民的我们,也许会毫不犹豫的回答:“当然成功”。但前提是必需一字不提,太空人在外太空干什么,并有如太空旅客类式的课题,需从你我的记忆一一清除。

 在大马媒体大势报道下,有许多民众都已逐渐地对太空人计划深感兴趣。很多人都接受了该项昂贵的计划、并给与无限的支持。此事能从大马人的举动看出。就在太空人快升空时,家家户户、男女老少都坐在,甚至兴奋得无法坐下,而选择站在家里的电视机前观赏我国第一位太空人——锡慕查化以其他两位太空人升空。

 做了数项科学观察与实验后,锡慕查化就返回地Sheikh_muszaphar_1
球。有关太空人的消息打从还没升空前直到升空后的今天,都不断地在各大媒介体出现。返回大马后,锡慕查化就身负重任,与个大领袖分享上太空心得。有一次在国会的分享后,有数位议员纷纷地向他要求合照与签名。有位女议员还光荣地说道,她这样做是想跟孩子和孙子们炫耀。他的魅力相信也不输给数年前在马来乐坛兴起热潮的玛威。

在较后,锡慕查化本人就为我国爱慕他的女性带来了一个好消息:我想要尽快解约结婚。第二太空人也有着同样的意愿。可是,女性们还是别妙想天开、自欺欺人了。毕竟,他们也只能各娶四位妻子。

 更让笔者感到惊奇的事,锡慕查化的弟弟去世也成为了《星报》的封面新闻。我想,他弟弟又不是什么大人物,为什么能平易上报呢?也许,锡慕查化已经成为你我关注的卖点了。

 上个月,第二太空人——华育兹抗匪受伤也成为了头条新闻。幸好,他受了小伤,在休养后,就能恢复以往的情况。不然,全国上下的第二太空梦从此破灭。

 从这几件事看来,他们俩可真是成为了我国人民所关心的人了。他们的动向,甚至是发生于他们家人的事,都会成为媒体报道焦点。

 我想,这是政府的成功。政府成功地塑造出两位你我Kjkiraanundi_1
崇拜的偶像。不久前,巫青团副团长——凯里就动了他机灵的脑筋,有点子想邀请两位太空人参政。我想,凯里是想利用他们的偶像气派来吸引更多年轻人参政。在以后,也有了两位偶像,能拉取更多人在大选时投他们一票。这样不是有点像早前胡景彪加入马青吗?

十月二十二日,我生日。这一次的生日充满了感动。首先就收到了无数的祝福短讯。再来就有精心策划的生日庆祝会和三份礼物,有两份是我爱不释手的礼物和另一份是派得上用场的礼物 – 纸巾。

感动(一):

有位朋友在我生日前几天就已寄上了生日祝福短讯。她知道我的生日,没有忘了。担心电话预付服务快到期,就提早送上祝福。真是有心。

感动(二):

有位在新岛工作的朋友,送上让我感动的祝福。她写下了这句话: “你要好好照顾自己的身体。记得要多吃,不要熬夜。我希望看到有点肥的忠利,而不是瘦瘦的你。” 我相信,这一句话,是从她心里有感而发的。这表示了她对本人的状况有所了解。这不叫朋友,叫什么?她当然也不是我的女朋友。(你脑筋转很快,但想太多了,哈)

感动(三):

母亲也学会了我们这些年轻人,玩“十二点的祝福”。也就是说,十二点正,妈妈就拨电话给我,为我我送上祝福。这份感动,铭记我心。现在想起,男儿泪都快留下来了。跟母亲的关系从恶劣(叛逆期)到普通到了今天的“暧昧”,我很感恩我所拥有的 。(也谢谢慈青营/活动让我学习与领悟 – 行善、行孝不能等。也跟爱家人。)

感动(四):生日庆祝会,背后有着几位用新的策划人。也有几位善于搞气氛的朋友。一下是生日庆祝会的过程:经过一番策划后,先有的“活动”是制造惊喜,以让我觉得,大家都不跟我庆祝了。游说这次的生日不跟我庆祝啦。另一位呢,却说我的生日,三天后才跟Jan一起庆祝啦。(不同人讲不同的话,牛头不对马嘴,哈)

             之后,就有一位美女“二顾茅庐”(两次联络我),“召见”我,说要送我礼物。送了我礼物后,就说要带我到更清静的地方开礼物。其实,是要带我到他们的营地(朋友集合的地方)。另外,还打算在我吹完蜡烛后把奶油弄到我脸上(从PeiSze的生日开始,就不再用蛋糕了,反用奶油了。这样更绝!)。

              在这之前,所有朋友“达成协议”,说不弄自己人,只弄我和Jan。但,到了最后,还是没有实现协议。蛋糕战一发不可收拾……

这精心策划的生日庆祝会“幕前”与“幕后”人是:(排列不跟次序)

丽靖 – 用了四小时来包大家要送我的礼物 。(丽靖,要开你报的礼物还真考技巧哦.

源坤 – 想给我惊喜,但却漏了些“口风”。坤啊,你是否有被责怪了呢?还要制造一些骗话来配合大家已策划好的故事。

建颖 – 最能搞气氛的不是他还有谁?(想跟他偷思?还是免了吧!你学不来的!)因为他有“残忍、不玩到你不爽的心”。他最会把蛋糕打到别人脸上,然后被弄得人就会狂追他,找机会报仇。

罗宾孙 (Robinson)– 当晚,先弄人。最后,被人弄到跌在地上。很淘气的打地上以示不满。

佩玲 – 我想她因该是这次生日庆祝会的“主谋”。她赶上赶下。买这买那。她当晚也是玩到蛮疯的一位。每次的生日排队都逃不过魔掌心(被弄蛋糕)。所以,他开始抱着“此仇不报非君子”的信念。

Sam – 最可怜的一位。每次有人生日,她肯定遭殃。最近,学精了,会一些防备功夫。但还是不被放过。整脸、甚至整头都有奶油。

当然也少不了当晚玩得很过瘾的庆隆、Kenny、Jan……

和几位不能出席的朋友 – 思嫣、明健(Chu)、愿季……

在这里,要跟大家致谢。谢谢大家的祝福。感激你们的用心。感恩你们的付出。没有你们,我想,我的大学生涯路应该很无趣、无味。甚至,茫然无助吧。 谢谢!Terima Kasih Banyak-banyak! Nandri! Mucha Gracias! Thank you very much! Ko-pun-kap!

I was extremely
busy
in last few weeks.
What I busy with?
(A good question to be asked!)
(Thank you for aksing this question, as you shown your concern toward me,
Thank… Haha, tak tau malu punya budak!)

Recently, I have no chance to take
proper rest
.
Until I fall sick last 3 week ago,
sore throat, fever, cough…
And until now, the cough still not unwilling to leave me!
I am still coughing from 3 weeks ago.
And what made me afraid was, I might get TIBI…

(P/S: Thank you for my friends who care
for me so much. Especially, Lee Ching who made me at least 4 ‘ai-xin"
honey juice and Phei Ling who brought me to see chinese doctor for several
times.)

My weight lost around 3-4 kg from my
standard weight of 47-48 kg.
So, I am now in around 44 kg.
Walau, what kind of weight is this?
It is not suppose to happen to a guy right?
I always "feel proud" to say: "I am having the weight that girls
looking for, but, guys afraid for!!!" to my friends who are girl.

Ya, go back to the origin topic, WHAT I
WERE BUSY WITH?

Firstly, it is all because of the
activities that I am joining now.

For instance,

1) I am the treasurer of
Mandarin class, so I have to duty for
mandarin class and attend its’ meetings
.

2) I am the committee member of Photography club,
so, I “have to” join the meetings and classes. Anyway, I likes to join their
activities, as I like to take photos.

3)  I too start to be a tuition teacher now. I teach tuition in Wednesday night and
Saturday evening.

Do I need money
now? Mata duitan kah?

Not exactly!

I think it is a
good chance for me to deal with student.

He is about 8 in
ages and very cute too!

4) Joining TzuQing activities and help whatever I could help. (But, most of
the time, I were too busy, thus, I have to refuse to join some activities)

5) Volunteer to teach tuition in orphanage house.

Basically, I did
promise to teach them every two week. But, due to some reason, mostly because
of extremely busy and tire, sometimes I didn’t go for the tuition.

(One of my
friend, Ivan Yam said that I am a “fast cool” person, where I only join
activities when I am “hot” (have interest) and quit when I get “cool”. He might
be right, but, not a total! I have to claim that, I have to quit due to my limit
of energy, time and ability. I am unable to join every activity, but, when I am
joining, I will do and give my best!)

6) Work as part timer during last PC fair.

I did learn and
gain a lot of experience, especially dealing with customers.

The experience
that I had never go through before! – Non stop talking and promoting until I
lost my voice… (Phei Ling said : “
活该” (padan muka)!, what kind of friend, she is?)

7) Overloaded assignments…

I) PGA102 presentation, (and have
to do the paper work after this)

II) PPG210E – General Science
Teaching Method – simulation teaching and assignment.

III) Physics Final Year Project

(It may sound weird,
as I have two more years to go before I can get graduate, but why I have to do
final year project?)

(A good
question! Answer: Those who are taking Physics as their major in Science
Education have to do the final project together with 3rd year
Physics students, as 3rd year is their final year)

 

So, when do you think I can get proper
rest?

No right?

Most of the night, I will not stay in the
room due to meetings and activities.

So…. Lastly, the best words for me are “PADAN MUKA”….

:-(

    After the joyful days in the secret island, 3 of us - PLing, GKun and I headed to Kuala Terengganu, the capital of Terengganu.

    There are some changes according to one of the staffs who work for the resort we stay on the island. What I caught from his view over the change of Terengganu after taken by BN is, development. It sound good right when there is a development, doesn’t it? So, I wondered, what are the changes that meant by him…

1) The "appear" of supermarkets, especially Mydin, the biggest in Malaysia (according to him). He told me that, there is no such a big supermarket in Terengganu before.

# The residents here can get more jobs compared to previous, when PAS was having Terengganu.
* Is the residents here really need such a job - promoter? As the lifestyle is relax and easy without heavy workload. Are they still can go on their  life without such a job?
* Having supermarket = development?

2) Tax - the tax start to be charged in Terengganu.

# The government (BN) will need it to develop the state.
* What is the development that can be seen in Terengganu? I think, more mosques and  more solid-facilities. Why PAS (the previous government in Terengganu) did not need to charge it’s people?
* Are the mosques unable to accommodate the Terengganu people, until the BN-government need to build more mosques? (p/s: money are pay by people not government - TAX)


3) The government is more "open" compared to previous.

# There is a disco/pub in the town (but, the staff unable to identify the place where the disco located).
* Are we so desire of this type of "open"? (Most of the residents in Terengganu are Malay, only a few of Chinese and Indians)

"A lot of residents (Muslims especially) in Terengganu unsatisfied with the act of BN. But, the government is clever, they built a lot of mosques in Terengganu to "calm them down"…" Said by the guy who chatted a lot with me, from his own view over his life to the political and social issues in Terengganu.

After a long blablabla…
Firstly I’ve to claim that, I’ve no purpose to critic /hurt any party/individuals.
Secondly, it is just my purpose to give an intro regarding to the place that I visited with my friends, Kuala Terengganu. So, PLEASE DO NOT highlight/mark me as anti-BN, or too extreme over the political issues, I am just a normal person who concern about Malaysia. But, I am okay if you mark me as busy body, as I chatted a lot with other (the staff I met in the resort I stayed) , even, I just know him in the first time… :-)

Central Market (Pasar Payang)

It is the biggest market in Terengganu that well known by the residents here. They sell a lot of food here, especially Malays’ food. Besides, the most popular goods to be sold here is - Keropok Lekor and asam. What made me shocked was, most of the stall-owners here are ladies. Just like the pictures shown below, the middle ages lady who is preparing Roti Canai for her customers.

China Town


No doubt, what come to my
mind when the name Chinatown being said is - Chinese. In Chinatown, there are having a lot of nice food, as Chinese are unable to be disconnected with food!

The 2 pictures above showing the food we had ordered in Chinatown. For your knowledge, we did went to BakKutTeh stall before we went to other stall that selling the nice chicken wings and special fruit juices. From the lower left picture, it proves how nice the chicken wings there… (Sorry PL, to publish your eating-style in my blog, but just like the golden-quote in Transformer : "there is no gain without sacrifice")

P/S: I didn’t mean to sacrifice you here, please don’t misunderstand, PL.


State Museum - The largest museum in Malaysia and ASEAN


The building of museum is not that big as remarked by the staff of the museum. It is just of the size of the land own by the museum that makes it - big. Most of the items that being displayed here are related to Islam, kingdom of Terengganu, and the Terengganu’s histories.

Pulau Duyung

This island is popular with it’s making of boats. There are many boats being built here and some of them was sold to the Europe countries. A Malay uncle here that we took picture with was so nice and generous to share his knowledge toward boat-making as he is one of the boat-manufacturing workshop owners in this island.

Tunku Abidin Mosque (Sorry, if this name is incorrect)

It is a floating mosque, where Terengganu people proud with. The art of building (seni bina) make me admire with for a long period.

这不是一篇以宗教有关的文章,而是一篇属于八卦、风趣的评论。笔者可是有想挑战自认不八卦是非的读者们。自认不八卦的你,可别阅读以下的八卦评论咯。笔者希望决定阅读的你,能以开朗的心态阅读。

相信大家都在几天前被首相的婚讯给吓了一大跳吧。至少笔者与友人是被此婚讯给吓了。就在几天前的晚上笔者走进了某家卖新洲夜报的杂货店,看到头版印了个很大的红色心型图,里头还有着你我敬爱的的首相和一个样貌年迈四十的女郎(其实她已经五十四岁)。相信不译中文、看不懂标题——《首相再婚》的朋友们都能猜对这则新闻的内容。没错,那心型图就已经很明确的表达首相已遇上了第二段恋情的消息(或许在早前,首相已有几段未被揭发、你我不知的恋情)。

话说回来,为什么笔者和友人会如此惊讶呢?已故首相夫人——恩顿不是在一年多前才刚刚过世吗?相信如此简单的问题有在你的脑海中飘过吧?笔者和友人都以开玩笑、八卦的心态谈起了此国家大事。有一位女生友人还很自信并打翻整艘船的说:所有男人都是花心的。更可笑的是,另一友人还说:首相需要了。(敬爱的首相,请原谅我们这些无知、不礼貌的对话)

我瞒同意后者的话——首相需要了。他需要一个愿意照顾他的健康和替他分担日常事务的人。这可不是一项容易办到的事,可是笔者有信心珍阿都拉能胜任此非一般任务mission impossible)。而且珍可曾担任过某酒店的管理人。再说,首相本人也称赞珍:她能把一切处理妥当,不会让我担忧,或因处理不好惹我生气。

在这同时,首相也为自己添加了一位私家助理。一个能给他分担一切大小国事的助理。甚至给于意见,就好像多了另一个凯里一样。希望那是一个国家人民的喜事,而不是乱给评论而酿成祸难(问题)的噩梦 

每一个成功男人的背后都有一个女人。首相也不例外。就让我们诚心地祝福首相大人吧。(很抱歉,都怪笔者无能,无法献上一首像三美献给首相的诗)就简单地祝福首相和新首相夫人:有情人终成眷属、白头偕老、幸福快乐。
