Blogin’

Ha… jangan nak berpolitik n fikir pasal kawin pulak. Penuhkan ilmu dunia n akhirat before you deal with all of those. Remember there are lots of hurdles await in front of you. You might lose your scholarship talking about politics, lose your young life with friends n family thinking about marrying at the early age. Graduate first, enjoy life, get ready physically, emotionally and spiritually then God willing, you will have a great future .

A mother’s day message from me, you beloved mom hehehe

I really have no intention to update this blog but this morning, I got an update from friendster saying I have a new comment waiting for moderation. And guess what, it’s from my lovely mom!! =) (Well I’m 100% sure my mom knows it from my siblings…nak kenakan aku ek!)

Well when I started writing this blog, the last thing I wanted to happen was getting a comment from my parents..haha. Because I knew I will always write on politics and I knew they do not want me to involve in it since I’m now supported by the so-called ’scholarship from government’. OK mom, gotcha! No more politics….=)

Anyway, I don’t think my blog is really well-known and that my writing can change anything. So if I lose my scholarship because of this tiny little blog, that’s soooooo unreasonable. But yeah, anything can happen. Like the chaos happened in Perak Assembly Hall last Thursday. Oopsss, no politics pleaseee!=)

And last but not least, marriage is already planned for me by Allah. When and with whom is already written and I have no say if it is about to happen. Don’t worry mom, your daughter is not that hot like what she thinks she is..haha. You’ve done a great job raising me up and now, keep on praying for me. God willing, I’ll make you proud of me…!

am following closely on Malaysian Politics…some say it’s dirty, but I think it’s quite interesting…

having a hard time with exams…but having a good time with friends…life’s fair huh…

the weather’s really nice…well, it has never affect me whether it’s rainy, sunny or snowy so, yeah I just love the weather…

can actually start my countdown but too many things to be countdown’ed so, let time does it…I don’t know if it’s just me who thinks time’s sprinting real fast…it’s already the 6th week of Spring semester..sigh~

realized that i’m getting older…started to think about marriage(not coupl’ing definitely..=p), jobs, own house, and even death…well, not necessarily be an old man to die…that’s so cliche…

so yeah, if you get the meaning behind this post, good for you..if not, start to think outside the box…life can’t be learned literally, that’s what I’ve learnt all this while…

thanks for listening(or reading…)=p

I was once asked on this question:

Ada sebuah kampung yang memerlukan kerja-kerja pelebaran sungai kerana sungai yang sedia ada terlalu sempit untuk menampung kuantiti hujan setiap tahun. Namun begitu, di hujung sungai itu terdapat sebuah perkampungan orang asli yang mana didiami oleh 5 buah keluarga. Sebagai seorang yang berkuasa menentukan kelulusan projek pelebaran sungai tersebut, anda perlu mengambil kira soal keselamatan seluruh penduduk kampung yang sering terjejas akibat banjir yang melanda tidak tentu masa. Namun seandainya kelulusan diberikan, perkampungan orang asli tersebut perlu dimusnahkan dan keluarga-keluarga tersebut perlu dipindahkan. Apakah tindakan yang akan anda ambil beserta sebab-sebabnya?

And I answered:

Sebagai orang yang berkuasa, tentunya saya akan meluluskan projek tersebut. Ini kerana, jika diambil kira dari segi kuantiti, lebih ramai penduduk yang akan menikmati kesan daripada projek tersebut. Saya percaya kita kadang kala perlu mengorbankan sesuatu untuk mendapat manfaat yang lebih besar dan dalam hal ini, perkampungan tersebut perlu dimusnahkan supaya manfaat dari projek pelebaran sungai itu akan dapat dinikmati oleh komuniti yang lebih besar.

That’s the answer from a 17 years old schoolgirl. And the same girl is now becoming 21 years old and she is now not satisfy enough with her answer. Anyone want to share his/her thoughts??

I try not to take too long for this post. I’m in dead week, a week before final exam. Have not started much on the past materials because I still have homeworks due soon plus a huge project for my aero class. Well, aero is quite fun. It is difficult, no doubt. But the process of learning something new, something you never know and never think off before makes it challenging yet interesting.  Hey, it’s only my first semester, so better not expecting too much right?

The landslide tragedy was very shocking. The Highland Towers tragedy might be the worst case since it causes more death but that was when I am 5 and know nothing about it. See, those people never learn from mistakes. Yes, they might remember this tragedy and change something to show that they are learning from it but for how long? And that is why it keeps happen again and again. Those people are you, me, they, them, each and everyone of us. Why? Because all this while, we keep fighting for our right but not the nature’s. Is anyone out there ever fight for the nature’s democracy? The freedom for trees and forest to grow and live? The freedom for land and seas to look beautiful and clean? Well, this is how the nature is demonstrating and shouting for a reformation!

Guys, just stop all the political dramas and start working! You see, when leaders are busy fighting for top positions and people are making themselves busy thinking and arguing on who should be the leader, there comes nature showing us who the real leader is, who you should obey and listen to. I always believe that in this world, everything happens for a reason. It is either a test or a consequence of what we did no matter good or bad.

Off for now. Salam.

quite a time since my last post so, let’s get started…

HERE (means kampungku West Lafayette, Indiana)…

the US election… VICTORY for Obama!!! Yeah I know I know, such an obsolete news. Everyone knows it already. Just a few comments from me. Oh oh, congratulation first to Mr. President. A wonderful victory yet huge responsibility for you. So, as all of you are already well informed, Barrack Obama has been elected as the 44th US President and therefore the first African-American leader of the States. Well, I predicted he lost with just a few votes but he proved me wrong. And yes, I’m not good with prediction (I also predicted MU will beat the gunners but turned out that Arsenal was way better that day…sorry devils..=p) So on that historical day, I followed every second of the night watching the election result live at my senior’s house (thanks guys!). Believe it or not, I felt nervous, anxious, panic, afraid, etc as if I was one of the candidates. And on that night too, I got to listen to the most electrifying speech from Obama and from that moment, I know he CAN AND WILL do something for his people and country. Here are some of my favorite quotes:

“If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” [Obama, Nov. 4]

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. [Obama, Nov. 4]

winter oh winter…Winter’s coming. Am not complaining or anything, just feels like saying it. Well, freshman love winter don’t they? So give them a chance to enjoy it. Anyway, it’s not yet snowing so that’s good enough. Be patient my juniors….=p

THERE (means kampungku Malaysia…)

minyak oh minyak…harga minyak turun lagi…sekarang tinggal RM2 seliter. Sedikit informasi untuk rakyat Malaysia, harga minyak di sini sekarang USD1.87 (Nov. 18). Tak perlu susah-susah convert sebab orang sini dapat gaji dalam USD bukan RM. Maksud aku secara kasar yang aku lihat harga minyak di sini murah la dibandingkan dengan Malaysia. Dan sekarang harga lantai (price floor) untuk minyak akan dilaksanakan. Maknanya kalau tiba-tiba Arab Saudi bermurah hati nak bagi Malaysia minyak percuma, rakyat terpaksa bayar juga ke? (Ini hanya lawak semata-mata..tak lawak?? takpe, aku gelak sorang-sorang) Baru teringat, kempen turun harga barang sedang dilaksanakan. Harap-harap bila aku balik Malaysia nanti (insya allah..) boleh belanja korang semua makan sebab makanan dah murah..hehe.

ketuanan Melayu..Salah satu perkara yang aku paling tak setuju sejak lama dahulu. Apakah itu ketuanan Melayu?? Siapa lantik Melayu jadi tuan? Setakat yang aku pernah dengar dan bincang, majoriti Melayu masih ingin memperjuangkan ketuanan Melayu. Oh aku tak pernah halang kita bantu-membantu sesama Melayu malah suka aku berkempen supaya kita tolong-menolong antara satu sama lain. Tapi terms ‘memperjuangkan’ Melayu tu amat aku anti. Sebab apa? Sebab bila kita guna perkataan perjuangan, maknanya kita nak menang. Perjuangan ni berat. Ada orang sanggup mati demi perjuangan. Sanggup ke kita mati untuk Melayu? Oh bukan aku. Tapi kalau guna perkataan menolong, membangkitkan orang Melayu tak siapa halang. Ada pendapat mengatakan kita tolong Melayu sebab tolong Melayu bermakna kita tolong orang Islam. Tidak dinafikan itu benar, cuma kalau kita cuba letakkan diri kita dikalangan mualaf atau bukan islam sekalipun, dikhuatiri akan terdetik rasa Islam hanya eksklusif untuk Melayu yang mana mungkin akan menyebabkan mereka rasa terasing. (Topik ini sangat banyak untuk aku perkatakan, jadi kita berhenti setakat sini dulu…kalau ada masa dan umur aku sambung…tak nak kontroversi sangat..hehe).

“Di dalam Islam tidak mengira bangsa, apa yang penting adalah takwa kepada Allah s.w.t. Tidak kiralah bangsa apa, Cina, Melayu, India dan Arab. Tuhan hanya melihat ketakwaan seseorang itu… kerana bila kita bertakwa kita takut kepada Allah dan menjalankan tanggungjawab kita. Sebab itu saya masuk parti Islam, yang memperjuangkan agama kerana ianya tidak akan kehabisan. Matlamat perjuangannya sentiasa ada iaitu demi agama tanpa mengira kepentingan bangsa pun. [TG Nik Aziz Nik Mat]

parlimen oh parlimenSempat aku meluangkan masa mendengar hujah-hujah ahli parlimen. Tertarik aku dengar ulasan Lim Kit Siang tentang kemenangan Barrack Obama. Katanya lebih kurang, kalau Amerika dah ada seorang presiden dari golongan minoriti, kenapa tidak Malaysia? Komen aku, kenapa tidak? Tapi tolonglah jangan sempitkan pemikiran dengan menganggap kemenangan Obama adalah kemenangan orang kulit hitam. That’s ridiculous. Itu cuma dari satu sudut yang remeh. Lihatlah dari segi keterbukaan rakyat Amerika, keterbukaan sistemnya, dan segala-galanya yang terbuka.. Malahan lawan Obama, Senator McCain juga tidak menggunakan faktor bangsa sebagai modal untuk berkempen. Pembangkang pun professional! Jadi selagi anda tak menjadi pembangkang yang professional, jangan bandingkan apa-apa pun dengan US! Lagipun banyak lagi perkara lain untuk dibandingkan, sistem pendidikan ke, sistem pengangkutan ke…tak perlu lah provoke dewan dengan statement macam tu.Nak baca yang lagi best, pergi blog YB Nik Nazmi.

should stop now or you’ll fall asleep reading this post..haha

p/s: I’m taking the same amount of time writing the English and Malay part. It’s all because I’ve forgotten my last time writing the grammatically correct Bahasa. *Sigh*.
