Interesting Site

Filed under: Miscellaneous

This is an interesting site. It maps the world according to subject of interest.

 

Say you want to know the size of Malaysia, Canada or US in terms of wealth. The territories would be changed accordingly. It appears that Malaysia’s territory is slightly bigger (based on GDP wealth).

Home

Filed under: Malaysia, Life

I’m still not sure whether I can go home yet. Job hunt is still going on. I hope to get some good news.

On another note, I managed to keep in touch with an old friend. He talked about the situation in Malaysia. Kinda of funny as usually countries that have problems are countries surrounding Malaysia. Like Canadians, Malaysians would say "Come on..there is no problem. We’re after all Malaysians".

But Malaysians have the ‘Shiok sendiri’ syndrom. And most Malaysians would be familiar with the ‘Malaysia Boleh’-nitis. An infectious syndrom uncovered in the early 21st century. The problem with this new syndrom is not that its dangerous. It’s good if it used to motivate a person. It detracts from its purpose if the slogan is over used.

And lastly, We have a new King.

13th Yang DiPertuan Agong

Old Post from Friendster blog

Filed under: Life

U-Jun, Fakhri. Both of you may be familiar with this post. Some of you may too. It’s an old post from my Friendster blog.Hope you enjoy it!

 

Finished my exam and thanks Jun for your best wishes and recipes.(I’ll be sure to ask you more but at the moment just post whatever you fancy….I’ll try it out…after all it’s true and tested right :-) )

Okay…my blogging topic today.

I’m chocolately coloured and a dark person…what has that got to do with this well to those who are dark…let me tell you this…be proud of who you are.

Why let me tell you the benefit of being dark…even world experts will agree with me.
Firstly, in the malay language there is a phrase that is used to describe us,

1) Hitam manis or cokelat Manis - Now where on the world will you get such wonderful description..I tell you…this is the next best thing to slice bread. They value us…Seriously!!!!

2) In economic circles, to describe whether a company is doing well. They say

" The company is in the ‘black’ "which means the company is financially healthy.

3) Remember the old ads from Perillys when you were young. They used to say.
     " Hitam itu Emas…Perillys…" Yeah..you got that right Perillys….yikes wonder how the Perillys name came about…it sounds like syphillis…okay cancelling that so that you guys will not get the WRONG idea….The point here is the "Emas" part which means Gold. So my fellow sisters and brothers….Black is gold…hear ye hear ye….the stamp of approval from Perillys….(I would fire the Perillys brand manager for suggesting such sexually prejudistic(and distasteful) name….but would give him a golden handshake for coming up with the superb tag name though.

4) Now coffee…roasted..it is dark in colour but when added with water the aroma just wasps through the air….hehehe….you see…even nature with (human ingenuity & modification) likes dark colours…

5) Oh…btw…don’t forget The Black Mamba (or is it the green mamba) Anyway….a snake with such name and such colour means one thing. "GET WAY OUTTA HERE" provided you don’t piss in your pants and thus make a fool out of yourself(especially when there are girls around you)

6) Black or dark colours means "SEXY", I personally don’t like to wear dark colours course I’m too sexy already….hehehehe…<wink wink> but see why a lambogini in dark colours or a girl dressed in dark colours would cause you to turn your head twice(well more than twice for me, The 1st, 2nd…and so on is to take a good look at them…until ofcourse they notice me looking at them which I will then stop…yeah…I’m still shy…sigh…).

I’m too tired to think of more….but be sure of one thing. God has given us a wonderful skin tone colour…Enjoy it my sisters and brothers….I’m going to get a cup of coffee now.

 

2 More Papers

Filed under: Canada

2 more papers to write. It will be the same situation as today. Got to study the entire subject for the 7 pm exam. After tomorrow, it will be better. I really wish the exam would be spaced out more evenly. How I wish there was a personal exam scheduler, that allows us to take the exams when we want. All they have to do is convert the LB GYM and selected classrooms into exam halls with TAs being there to invigilate the exam. So when a person wants to finish his entire exam on his own schedule, he/she can do so at his own pace as long as they finish it before the end of the examination period.

 

I think I should float this idea to the University. Do you think this would work people? 

By the way, this idea is trademarked by Suresh Jeyaverasingam, also known as the Great Baron.

Something even more serious this time

Filed under: Malaysia, Politics

To Fellow Malaysians (especially students studying overseas).

 

How aware are you all about the ‘hot’ issues in Malaysia? How hot u ask?
Imagine taking out a frying curry puff from a pan! It is that hot!

Now, I’m talking about the constitution of Malaysia. Isn’t that the supreme document that governs our nation? Can the judiciary amend the constitution? To those of you who are keeping in touch with the going ons in our country, than you would probably know what I’m hinting at.

There are several cases that have brought(or currently bringing) this issue to the fore, Lina Joy, Subashini and the former Everest Hero. One lawyer (besides HRH Raja Nazrin, the Raja Muda of Perak) who is fighting for the supremacy of the constitution is Malik Imtiaz Shawar at http://malikimtiaz.blogspot.com.

I’d suggest everybody to check out his webpage.

other webpages of Malaysians who give critical analysis of the going ons in our beloved tanah tumpahnya darahku are:

A.Kadir Jasin (http://kadirjasin.blogspot.com/)
Farish Noor (http://www.othermalaysia.org/)

Life in a Foreign Land.

Filed under: Canada, Malaysia, Life

I’m actually quite inclined to write in detail about this. But before I do, I would like to gauge view from other Malaysians.

 

Is the grass truly greener on the other side? My personal opinion, I don’t think this holds true. In some cases yes (in education) but for other matters no.

 

So I would appreciate if Malaysians or other Asians (that includes Indians!!!) could give me feedback on this matter. If you’re a visitor, please spread the word about this post.

 

Thanks.

snow..in spring? and other thots

Filed under: Life

Yup. you got that right…it is still snowing in spring.

 

Still don’t know whether I Can go back home in may. Depends on whether I get a job. It would be the first time in my uni life, if I were to go back, I’d be going back for the full summer.

I guess there is some sort of silver (golden would be better) lining on the cloud, Going back home for some really needed R&R would enable me to take on the final year better.
