Merdeka...Merdeka...Merdeka!!!!

Tanggal 31... bulan 8... lima puluh tujuh.....

Those are some of the lyrics from a popular Merdeka song by the late Sudirman... A very old song indeed but full of meanings. Yes..it is part of the year again... where we Malaysian celebrate our independent day. This year is the 51st years of independent for Malaysia. For a country I think that age can be considered as old already... but I think we are still young and there are lots of things that we should learn. Below is this year Merdeka Advertisment from Petronas. Petronas has been very creative in creating great ads not only for Merdeka, but for most of Malaysian festivals...like Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali ect.. ect.. huhu.. so dear readers have a look on the video first ok....

The moral of the video huhuhu you can read it at the end of the vid right. So there is no need for me to explain it.

This couple of years Malaysia have been facing rough situation politically and economically. Lots of unwanted things happens... With the oil price being unstable (although we are oil producing country), not enough of food supply and the price of food keep booming up... political rivalry of the BIG people of the nation... Seriously, I just want to be a common citizen of the nation living peacefully and happily but theses kind of tribulation we the RAKYAT a.k.a citizen have to face making it hard for me to achieve that kind of life. I miss all the good old times where life have been great for the people. Everything were great during that time. Never have to thinks of such problems.

Ok.. lets return to this year Merdeka. This year the logo is the one on the top of this entry... This year the theme is "Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan" (Unity is the Core of Succes). What a brilliant theme indeed. But the song is still the same. Just like the old one, marching like songs... I think some time there is a need for them to change the genre... the singer is Roy.. he been singing a lot of patriotic songs in Malaysia... kind a boring for me if most of the time the same singer sing the song... Make it more spicy...I would like to suggest. Make a different ...make it appealing to the modern crowd. Change the singer, change the genre. We have lots of talents, composers, song writers, singers... I think most of them are willing to do it for free if it for the nation . For example the song Here In My Home....by Malaysian artists (you can watch it at the side colum)... Fresh, New, Vibrant, Appealing, Modern, Fun.... that is how a Merdeka song should be like... of course not in English.. in Malay lah kan... But that is only my opinion ok hahhha

Beijing Olympic 2008: How About Malaysia?

Ok.. I know that it is a little bit late.. But.. what the heck.. it's my blog ahhahah... Now let go back to the topic... Olympic in Beijing.. How did Malaysian athletes performed?

Well after two very disappointing Olympic in Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004) this year in Beijing, Malaysia managed to put herself in the medal tally. Yes, with just ONE silver we manage to be among the countries that bagged medals. For a small and not a sport power country.. that achievement is already can be considered as great. Why?? I'm not saying that Malaysia cannot do better than that. But, looking upon our athletes performing in the world stage this kind of achievement have made us proud (or better to say ME). Most of Malaysian athletes actually have great potentials... but when they meet the other challengers from other countries they become LAYU a little bit and cannot deliver their best performance. Sorry to say it, but it is true. Just look at our men trio archery team... number four in the world but they cannot even place themselves in top 4 during the archery event in Beijing... well there are a lot of examples but I just don't want to say it (don't let me start with our badminton men doubles).

What ever it was, I am really proud of our achievement in this year Olympic. Thanks to Lee Chong Wei and his coach Misbun Sidek (herm by now I should call them Dato' huhuhuu) we have make an appearance to the world. I think the government have rewarded them handsomely (Yelahkan.. with the RINGGITS and Dato' what can we ask for more??). KUDOS to both of them and a BIG THANKS to Misbun for his contribution. He also have to left his sick wife back at home for his job as a coach. May Allah bless his wife.

Okay.. now to sum all of it.. Malaysia had done her best in this year Olympic, but there are a lot of improvement that we can do.

p/s: Again I'm not a die hard fan of sport but I just want to share my thought. Peace

Hey!!! I'm Back!!!

Bejing 2008 Welcome You!!!

At last China has opened their gate to the world by hosting the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing. So this means that China is the third Asian country to host the world most waited and prestigious game (after Japan and Korea). I managed to watch the opening ceremony thanks to Basir...not all of it just the part where the athletes come in the Bird Nest Stadium, the Olympic flag been raised up and the flaming of the Olympic Cauldron (Gosh... the stadium is great not that I was there but the fact watching from the television just make me felt awe hahahha)... What was really interesting is to watch how the Olympic Cauldron been set ablaze... Great gimmick from the host... A flying gymnast (huhu retired already) been hang over by cables flying at the rim of the stadium...kind like he was running in the air...Cool man.. really cool hahahha...

What is really important for me is how do Malaysian Team going to perform there. In Athens 2004 we did not managed to bag any medals.. So how about in Beijing? Hoped that this year will be different for team Malaysia. Been browsing through the net and I found out that Team Malaysia is aiming for a gold this year and any athletes manage to obtain it will be given RM 1 million by the government as an incentive.... hhuhuhu kayalah atlit Malaysia lepas ni itu pun kalau dapat lah kan??... With 33 athletes I hope that Malaysian contingent will do their best and do us proud.... Go MALAYSIA!!! MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

p/s: I am not a sportsman actually and not a big fan of sport but if there something like Olympic hehehe I would like to be a part of it hehehhe

If He Can...Then I Can...

Some people don't value education... well some people do value it.. Just like the uncle in the story below...although it is in Malay.. but I know that my fellow Malaysian readers can understand it right??So read up hehehe..

Pengawal keselamatan usia 55 tahun lulus sarjana

Oleh YANG CHIN MEE

KUALA LUMPUR 5 Ogos – Semangat tinggi dan sikap tidak mudah berputus asa membuahkan kejayaan kepada seorang pengawal keselamatan berusia 55 tahun apabila beliau memperoleh ijazah sarjana daripada Universiti Malaya (UM) hari ini.

Biarpun mengalami pelbagai rintangan sepanjang enam tahun tempoh pengajian dalam bidang sejarah, pengawal keselamatan berkenaan, Lim Kim Peu (gambar), akhirnya berjaya menamatkan pengajiannya.

Pagi ini, Kim Peu menerima ijazah tersebut daripada Pro-Canselor UM, Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah pada majlis konvokesyen universiti itu di sini.

Kim Peu yang masih bujang mula mengikuti program pengajian jarak jauh ijazah sarjana di UM pada 2002 dan sepanjang tempoh itu beliau bekerja sebagai pengawal keselamatan di Melaka.

Kim Peu memberitahu Utusan Malaysia, dengan pendapatan RM500 sebulan, beliau terpaksa menggunakan sebahagian besar wang gajinya untuk membiayai kos pengajian di UM.

“Wang memang merupakan satu masalah. Saya menghabiskan sebahagian besar daripada gaji saya untuk membayar yuran, tetapi itu pun tidak mencukupi.

“Nasib baik pihak universiti bertimbang rasa dan membenarkan saya membayar yuran secara ansuran,” katanya.

Pengorbanan Kim Peu itu berbaloi apabila baru-baru ini beliau berjaya mendapat pekerjaan sebagai jurulatih Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) di Melaka selepas lulus pengajian peringkat sarjana.

Lelaki yang berasal daripada keluarga buruh kasar di Merlimau, Melaka itu hanya menamatkan pelajarannya sehingga darjah enam. Pada 1971, beliau bekerja sebagai tukang sapu pada usia 18 tahun.

“Kerja sebagai tukang sapu memang susah dan kotor. Ramai orang menghina dan memandang rendah terhadap saya kerana pekerjaan itu.

“Keadaan itulah yang mendorong saya untuk melanjutkan pelajaran,” katanya.

Dengan belajar sendiri, Kim Peu berjaya menamatkan pelajaran sehingga ke tingkatan enam di sekolah swasta sebelum ditawarkan mengikuti kursus Ijazah Sarjana Muda Sains Sosial di Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) pada 1980.

Pengajian Kim Peu di USM dihabiskan dalam tempoh lapan tahun dan beliau merupakan pelajar yang mengambil masa paling lama untuk menamatkan pengajiannya.

“Pada 1980, saya masih seorang tukang sapu. Banyak masalah dihadapi. Gaji saya ketika itu cuma RM130 dan saya terpaksa menyara keluarga.

“Bagaimanapun, dengan semangat tinggi, saya tidak pernah terfikir untuk berhenti belajar dan akhirnya saya berjaya juga menamatkan pengajian walaupun mengambil masa selama lapan tahun,” katanya.

Menurut Kim Peu, sepanjang tempoh pengajiannya dari dulu hingga kini, beliau tidak pernah makan atau minum di luar.

“Saya terpaksa menjimatkan wang. Makanan segera seperti ayam KFC, McDonald’s atau minuman Coca-Cola tidak pernah saya jamah kerana wang perlu disimpan untuk meneruskan pelajaran,” ujarnya.

Demi mengubah nasibnya, Kim Peu memilih untuk meneruskan pelajaran selepas beberapa tahun lulus ijazah pertama di USM. Beliau kemudian diterima untuk mengikuti kursus sarjana pengajian sejarah di UM.

Well that uncle do value education... I hope that I will have the spirit just like him... I want to further my study..not only just a Degree holder.. maybe PHD...if Allah permits...InsyaAllah.. But my true passion is to become an educator.. a teacher.. teaching in a school..be among kids.. inspire them to learn.. to be a good citizen.. to excel not only in life... Hope that I can achieve that.. Amin....

Hello there... well.. I don't know why I posted this song.. But suddenly I feel like to share it with all of you. Herm.. not a big fan of Nasyid actually.. but back in secondary school I was into it. Every Friday night with hostel friends who share the same interest we will be hearing to "Carta Nasyid IKIM.FM" huhuhu... miss all those time. Actually this song dah lama dah huhuh but I was browsing my songs collection in the external hard disk when I found it. Make me missing home... well missing my MOM actually not much of a home hisk..hisk..

Permata Ayah Bonda.


Album : Keampunan
Munsyid : Firdaus

Mewangi kuntuman bahagia
Di halaman ayah serta bonda
Menatang selaut cahaya
Melerai resah dan gundah di jiwa
Segunung impian dicita

Selangit harapan di damba
Dibelai, dimanja mesra
Kaulah racun, kau penawar
Senyuman dan tangisanmu
Pengubat duka dan lara

C/O

Engkau umpama sebutir permata
Diperlubukkan kasih nan bersinar, bercahaya
Hiasi rumahtangga
Engkau harapan seisi keluarga
Panjatan doa dan aimata
Yang pasrah kepada Yang Esa
Kepadamu tercurah
Kasih sayang dan pengorbanan
Agar terus gemilang

Dididik, diasuh tiap masa
Diajarkan ilmu yang berguna
Mengenal Allah dan Rasul
Menyemai, menyubur iman di dada

Dilayur segala kekerasan
Dilentur dengan kelembutan
Dititip seuntai madah
Hidupmu mula dan berakhir
Menyusur fitrah dan sunnah
Bernoktah di penghujungnya

C/O

Tiada yang lebih membahagiakan
Melihat dirimu kian membesar, dewasa
Di dalam sejahtera
Usah terpesona pujukan dunia
Yang hanya menyilau pandangan
Memukau dengan keindahannya
Nasihat ayah bonda
Agar engkau lebih bersedia
Untuk menghadapinya

Bersemi kelopak kasih sayang
Di persada cinta yang sejati
Titisan susu ibunda
Menyegarkan, menghapuskan dahaga

Renjisan keringat dari ayahanda
Menyubur pohon kehidupan
Tuaian sebidang tabah
Buatmu doa dan harapan
Jadilah insan yang mulia
Pembela di hari tua

C/O

Waktu bisa merubah segalanya
Dewasalah dalam rahmat dan kasih Ilahi
Redahi pancaroba
Andai langkahmu tersasar kesimpangan
Pulanglah ke laman ayah bonda
Kembali menghuni di tamannya
Bersamalah semula
Menghirup embunan kasih sayang
Sedingin airmata bonda

Engkaulah permata ayah bonda....

Holiday is Out.. Time for Classes...

Alhamdulillah now we have classes huhuh.. Seriously, I can't believe myself that I will be saying that.. But well indeed I felt it that way. The long summer holiday that were not filled with anything (asyik-asyik makan tidur makan tidur uhuhhuh) so I think that make me think it in that way. For the time being we will be having only one subject Language Awareness (LA) which is kind the same with Language Descriptions that we have done during our foundation years back in IPBA.

When the class has started what make me very glad is to see familiar faces. Yes the long holiday make me miss all my friends... When we have class that is the moment where we tease each others. Get to be together... Have fun together.. Hahahha yes I miss "kacau-ing" them. But the long holiday have made my brain a little bit rusty.. Isk..isk.. of course... Imagine after being self-indulging to the sweet of life without have to involve in any academic stuff for a period of time you will fell awkward when the has come for you to start getting your brain to work again hahhaha...

Well my first class with Lesly was kind a HORRIBLE ... what make it worst that it is grammar.. which I am totally sucks. I am REALLY...REALLY... BAD with grammar.. Still remember the first time I took LDS test.. well I did not pass with a flying colours but I flunk it... Really embarrassing for me that moment of truth.. huhuhu.. that was my first time having a REAL GRAMMAR test.. which I never had before... Now, learning LA just bringing back all of those bad memories... scary though. I am afraid that I will fail again ... Ya Allah tabahkanlah hati hamba-Mu ini huhuhu...

Okay.. now I know what I should do... BELAJAR RAJIN-RAJIN and prepare well for LA test huhuhu.. Really hope that I can make it... Amin....
