CSI

Assalamualaikum,

Saya peminat cerita CSI dan kesemua francaisnya yang lain. Saya telah menonton kesemua season CSI Vegas, CSI Miami & CSI New York. Yang saya nak cerita ni berkenaan episod CSI Miami, season 5, yang ditayangkan Ahad lepas di NTV7. Kenapa ending tu Eric mati?!!!Warrgggh!!!! Cukup tak puas hati..sedih-sedih. Nak kena tunggu sambungannya pula.

Cerita lagi satu pula berkenaan episod 17, season 8 CSI Vegas (Season 8 di-download dari internet). Warrick Brown kena tembak mati juga!!!! Waarrgghhh!!! Apasal?! huhu..tak puas hati..

Tapi kan, mungkin kedua-dua pelakon tu nak tamatkan kontrak mereka dengan siri CSI ni, nak cuba berlakon cerita lain pula sebab tu watak kedua-duanya dimatikan.

Six-word Memoir

Assalamualaikum.

I read in the Star today an article about Six-word Memoir where Americans unleashes their creative impulses. Only 6 words are used to describe a life story.

Example:
"Carbohydrates call my name everyday" - Humour
"Fell in love. Married. Divorced. Repeat." - Love

The memoirs is edited by Smith Magazine.

Hmm..my 6-word would be:

BANYAK SEDEKAH, BANYAK HARTA, BANYAK PAHALA

What's yours?

A New Day

Assalamualaikum...

A new day has arrived today and I will always remember it as long as I live. The day that begin as somewhat sombre ended with a BANG, and I'm really happy about it. Yes! I'm pro-opposition or shall I say pro-government in some states, including my state Selangor. Not that I agree to some of the BA's manifestos but because I'm so puked with BN who is corrupted. Believe me, I know. My company was requested to donate for the government machinery campaign. Don't ask me how much but it was a huge amount.

Never have I expected all this to happen, but I know it has happened and it is all by Allah will. For the opposition to take on 5 states and denying 2/3 majority in Parliament shows that the Malaysian people has exercised their rights' wisely and it shows' that democracy is at work. It was all worth it for me staying up till 3.30am in the morning to see all the results.

A NEW DAY INDEED

p/s: Now the BA has to realize all their manifesto this coming 5 years to prove what they say for the public to favour them until the next election.

Election Day

Assalamualaikum

Today is Malaysia's Election Day.

I went voting around 10.30am this morning. Kind of anti-climax feeling I think. Nothing much happened. Not much excitement. Maybe because it's still morning. Shah Alamers are still at home reading the newspaper. Polling stations near my house have much more excitement. It causes traffic jam. Maybe the people don't want to wait too long under the sun in the afternoon. Klang people are early riser anyway.

OK back to the polling station. I went to the booth where you can check your name and the which lane you're suppose to go. Actually I knew already where my lane was, but just to entertain the political party workers & volunteers, I went to check my name. Oh yes..met my best friend who is manning the booth there and also my mum's friend and dad's friends. Me & my dad voted on the same area, but I chose to go by myself as I was going to go a bit later than he is.

Once inside the school compound, I went straight to the 1st floor and enter the designated room. Not many people here. It's like they're coming in one by one. The SPR staff must be bored waiting. I then gave my MyKAD which they announce my IC no out loud and was issued 2 ballot paper. One to vote for Parliament candidates and one for DUN candidates. I then proceed to the cardbox cubicle and cross out the candidates that I prefer. Then I had to fold the ballot paper. Here where I took my time. I had to ensure that the folded paper will not open up once it is put in the new transparent box. When it's folded in 2, it keep opening up. So I folded it in 3. Is this considered OK? Hope it does not count as damaged vote.

Then after folding the ballot papers, I put it in the designated ballot box for Parliament & DUN. And then out I go. Finish. The whole process only took around 5 minutes from the time I arrived until I went home. Sort of an anti-climax sort of thing isn't it?

As The Election Looms...

Assalamualaikum..

As the election looms near (another 16 1/2 hours) I'm excited as this will be my 2nd experience voting. The 1st time I voted was in 2004. I will cast my vote in Shah Alam, Section 4.

There's not much to write about the coming election. INFJ's tend to view politics as full of problems that they wish to avoid. We do avoid problems if we think it's too overwhelming. But that does not mean I do not talk about politics. I do..mostly in the office with the other managers.

My view is that, BN will sure win. But I also hope that the majority vote for BA will increase. I hope to see that the parliament is not overridden by BN 100%. That WILL BE BAD for the country. It's like you can do whatever you like without someone telling you that whatever you're doing is right or wrong for the country.

Come to think of it, we are electing representative that should be responsible in handling the peoples' money (read: tax paying people) in running the country. You surely don't want the people that you elected into power using your money to build something that is somewhat ridiculous right? example: build mosque for tourism..
Mosque should be build for the community to interact with each other. Whatever material it is made of is immaterial. What purpose will a mosque serves if it is build on an island where no one is living on it and Jumuah prayer's cannot be performed? Furthermore, who wants to fork out RM5 every time you want to go to the mosque and back home? I say it's all waste of the Rakyats' money. I don't want to get into architectural point of view. Utterly senseless in building it there. Sure will get criticizes by my UiTM lecturers...LOL...

No More Segregation

Assalamualaikum

One of the news that I read today is about the students segregation at SMK Seremban. Apparently it was by the order of the headmaster who is currently away on Hajj. His order were implemented at the beginning of the school term and no teacher dared to question him. The boys and girls are separated in class, library, canteen and even walkways! The school even built a separate building for the classes so that the boys & girls don't mix.

To me, the idea of segregation is good as it controls the environment where there is no mixing between different sexes. With social problems on the escalate nowadays, no wonder the HM took that action I guess. But for total segregation I think its best to go to all boys or all girls schools. At least there the students can be a lot "free" to do their things without feeling inhibited by whether what they're doing right or wrong.

But co-ed schools are good too. I mean, take my case for example. I went to co-ed Islamic school. My class have boys & girls together in one class, although the girls occupy the right/left/back of the class and the boys occupies the other half, it was no problem at all!!!
We learn how to conduct ourselves in an Islamic environment. We put into action what was already instill in the Qur'an & Hadith. We, boys & girls, work together to maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of our class. Sure, there was cooperation but there was no free mixing around.

I think co-ed in Islamic environment school are good because it prepares you for the outside world. In universities, you still have to mix around with other people, male or female, but you have already learned how to behave appropriately and in manners that is within the Syariah context.Unless you are studying in all male/female universities, that's a different scenario altogether. Even in the working world you will have to work with the opposite sexes. It's inevitable.

I agree with co-ed school provided it's an Islamic one, even if they are not, then the parents & teachers have to instill in their children and pupils the values of Islam. We don't want them to become social misfit later on do we? After all they will be our future leaders, yours and mine.

I Don't Know Anything

I was awake last night and been doing a lot of thinking. I then came to a realisation:

Pn. Shima knows a lot about our project and I don't.
Suhaimi knows how to design and I don't.
Rahmat knows all about computers and cars and I don't.
Firdaus knows how to do 3D and I don't.
Haslina knows about costing and QS stuff and I don't.
Hanum knows how to sensible and I don't (I guess..)
Mardiana knows how to sort things out and I don't (I guess...)
Saza knows how to arrange for food & drinks for meetings and I surely don't.
Kak Shima knows all about accounting and I surely don't.
En. Nasir knows all about contract, costing, etc and I 100% don't.
En. Burhan knows all about M&E matter and I don't.
En. Azri knows about construction and I don't.
En. Azizan knows about the ever evolving project cost and I surely don't.

This then came to the next point..

What Do I Know???
I Don't Know Anything!!!

Things to Ponder

Assalamualaikum..

Here's 2 questions to ponder..

1. Does driving manual car makes the driver concetrate more on the road or auto transmission does?
2. Why does Malay people when they speak Malay to Chinese or Indian they tend to speak Malay the way Chinese or Indian do? (no pun intended to the Chinese or Indian, it's just that if you speak a certain language you must speak properly. And I don't mean that Chinese & Indian can't speak proper Malay. My aunt is Chinese and she teaches Bahasa Melayu to boot too.)
