11 April 1012

Remember in one of my previous post, I did mention that I had difficulties posing decently in front of the camera? Well, I did try to improve my silliness and be more vain in front of the camera. I admit, I am NOT photogenic at all, but I certainly, do not want to look like a monkey in all my photos.

I would want to show some lovely pictures to my kids in the future and I don't want them to think their mom was once an ape!

After MANY attempts, I finally get a proper picture of myself.




You guys have no idea how many takes I had to go through to get a few decent pictures of myself. I am indeed, NOT camera-friendly. 
Notice I always look away from the camera?
That's because, I will make some silly face when I'm looking directly at a camera. I just cannot help myself. 
Thus, the best way for me to look good in pictures? 
LOOK AWAY from it.

Our people and our Nation

Once again, I found myself in front of the screen, snooping around in the cyberspace, aimlessly. Life is hectic as usual, with classes, and exams are drawing near but I still cannot help clicking away here. Urgh.. Internet, What have you done to humankind?

Had Public Law lecture today, and my college had invited a guest lecturer from the UK to lecture us on that particular subject. As usual, this subject is rather dry and bulky. There's lot of technical theories to embed into our brains. We can whine all we want, but nonetheless, it must be done. We have to, by hook or by crook, memorize them. Period.

Public law relates a lot to the politics, and the government. It is undeniable that there are some similarities between how our politics and the UK politics system work. However, I would say one of the most prominent difference is the society. The people in Malaysia, sad to say, are more timid than people in other countries. We are afraid of changes and, allow me to say, the government too.

Looking at the UK government, their government were not always ruled by only one party. Their government were ruled by the Conservatives, the Labour and sometimes, the Liberal too. It all depends on the people's votes. Compared to Malaysia, we are only ruled by one particular party ever since our independence. Maybe, perhaps, we need a change?

I am not inciting any of you to go against the government. Our government, had, undeniably, developed Malaysia from a third world country to a rather developed nation. But, don't you think that if one particular power is being in charge for far too long, they'll just stop trying?! If they have the majority chair in the Parliament for far too long, wouldn't they abuse their powers? Who will check and balance their powers then? They can pass any law they want. Yes, indeed we have the Constitution to curb absurd laws to be passed but, if there's a majority of 2/3 in the house, the act in the Constitution itself, can be repealed or even amended. Who said the Constitution is supreme?!

Nevertheless, the activist can waste all their saliva in awareness campaigns and all, but if we, the people, do not want to change the current government, who can?!

Some might say that the current situation is as good as it is, but the question is, why settle for good if we can have the best? Every party has their own faults, their strength and uniqueness but, if we are too afraid of changes, we will never know how far our country can go.

Have you ever questioned, why Singapore, a country smaller than us, less resourceful than us, is much more developed and well known than us?! Well, as much as I hate to admit, their people aren't afraid to change. There's no favouritism, biasness or whatsoever. All races are equal. There's no such thing as quota in education and other fields. Even if they do, they wouldn't put the unqualified in a particular field just to fulfil the "quota". If you are good, you will be given a chance. They recognise the abilities of their people. Their government is forever trying because the people of Singapore can, and will, at any time, topple their government if they aren't satisfied with the current one.

Racism, happens everywhere in the world. Not just in our country but EVERYWHERE. Politicians often use racism to break the people apart to manipulate the situation. And, I regret to say, it works. Politicians use religion to create hatred, doubts and prejudice among us. Why can't the people realize that we are indeed played by them?!

Equality? What equality?! How can we achieve equality if we are afraid of changes? Democracy? Why would you want democracy when you are all happily submitting to your current stagnant mode? Why complain that our government is unfair, not developing, takes bribe, not up to the standards when YOU, the people DO not even want to DO something about it?

If you want Malaysia to be a better nation, then DO something about it. You can complain in the Mamak stall, at the bus stop, at the Warong, the situation will NOT change with you just talking away. Some may not even care. But let me tell you this, those who don't want to care about the future of your own nation, do NOT deserve to complain. You don't deserve to criticise your leader because you are the one who chose not to be involved. Your children have bad education? Our country's not developing, chaos? Insufficiency happen everywhere? You got no one to blame but yourself for being cowards.

It doesn't matter which party rule us. As long as the party is able to lead and improve the country, that party deserve to lead. I am very neutral and I am not a supporter of the opposition nor the government. All I can say is, may the best man win. I would, definitely, look forward to the election coming soon. Would the Malaysians be daring enough to change or continue to stay in their own comfort zone?

7 April 2012

I can feel the heat. I am at the peak of the boiling point. The amount of stress at this moment is Crazy... Just finished a 9 hours long of Public Law class today. I actually drank a glass of Nescafe (which I'll not drink no matter how tired) and a can of Redbull. I needed the energy...

My exams are in a month time and everyone are at their worst state right now. Everybody's mood are so foul that you are terrified to even talk to us. 

I have not been back home to Melaka for nearly a month. I can't even go back home for Holy Week because I have classes on this weekends and my classes are really really energy and time consuming. 9 to 6 hours per day. 

I really apologize for being such a bitch to those who tried talking or contacting me these days. I will try my best to be as nice as possible. I snap and I bite but I assure you, I'm nice.. ^.^

Forgive me pls?!

Anyway, I'm just thinking of rekindling back my childhood interest. I really love the fashion line and I love watching fashion shows and I love clothes and colours. I am just thinking, maybe.....

But then, am I being childish? Am I still living in an unrealistic teenage dream? Everyone want to be in the fashion line. Well, whatever is it, I'll still pursue my law degree and learn what I love too. I may not be as good, but I will never stop trying to be the best. 

Ps : I am still trying to be vain in front of the camera and take some decent pictures of myself. I still cannot bring myself to smile DECENTLY without making some weird expression in front of the camera...
