Tiny voice of a Malaysian...

With recent and current uproars about price hikes in eletricity, petrol and almost everything else (even my nasi lemak got up by 20 cents!), the government better do something to regain the trust and support from Malaysians. If the current trend keeps going, Pak Lah and his cabinet ministers will definitely have a tough time ahead. If the national election is in the near future, the chances of BN losing their seats in large numbers will be almost certain.

What happened to today's Malaysia? With the recent blunder of Datuk Said's "close one eye" issue, people are beginning to lose their faith in the present government. Many starts questioning about the corruption phenomenon in Malaysia. How bad it is? Why do we even have ACA if they are not doing their jobs? One could only wonder how effective is Pak Lah's policy against corruption. Our newspapers have been infested by many governmental blunders and comedies. It's quite amusing to see that some of our YBs are actually natural born comedians. This is truly alarming as it reflects on how our country works. I guess, our southern neighbours are laughing their asses out if they actually read our newspapers.. sigh.

Schools and many government projects were constructed without quality control. I still remember what happened in my uni sometime back. The walls are already cracking and the building its not even 10 yrs old! Worse still, there was a case of the ceiling crashing down in a lab. Although we were feeded the information that ther wasn't any problems with the building's structure, we don't really buy it at all.

I really hope the government are aware of our growing insecurity towards them, and hopefuly, they'll respond by making life easier for all of us. And of course, "intelligent" policies are urgently needed in this age of chaos. That's all i can do with my tiny voice, grumbling through this low-traffic blog of mine, which i highly doubted that they will ever listen to it.

Well, since there's nothing can do about the price hike by grumbling over it, we might be well taking some measures to deal with it. Check out the suggestions in Life's Like That. Sarcastic but true. I can see many mummies are smiling now, or at least i could see my mum smiling when i share this with her. Wonder will mum apply this rules to us?

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...
