Dari Malaysia Kini

Penyelaras Pakatan Rakyat, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim menggesa Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak untuk menghentikan perbuatan ‘merampas’ ahli parlimen Pakatan Rakyat, khususnya dari PKR demi menghormati proses demokrasi.

“Mengapa beliau begitu kemaruk dengan majoriti dua pertiga di Parlimen? Buat masa ini, Barisan Nasional mempunyai bilangan kerusi yang mencukupi bagi meluluskan sebarang undang-undang,” kata Zaid (kiri) pada sidang akhbar yang diaturkan secara tergesa-gesa.

“Pada pendapat anda, adakah England kukuh kerana mereka mempunyai dua pertiga (majoriti)? Tak! England tidak pernah ada majoriti dua pertiga.”

Sejak beberapa minggu kebelakangan lalu, PKR digoncangkan dengan tiga ahli parlimennya berpaling tadah sehingga menimbulkan krisis kepimpinan parti, terutama terhadap ketua numumnya, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Andaian jika ketiga-tiga mereka mesra BN di Dewan Rakyat, gabungan itu cuma memerlukan tujuh lagi kerusi untuk mendapatkan majoriti dua pertiga.

Kuala Lumpur – Kelab Anwar Ibrahim (AIC) melihat kenyataan Ketua Pemuda Umno, Khairy Jamaluddin mengenai kedudukan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai Ketua Pembangkang adalah satu kenyataan yang lucu dan dangkal.

Khairy berhujah bahawa pengekalan Dato’ Seri Anwar sebagai Ketua Pembangkang akan mengundang lebih banyak masalah bukan sahaja kepada Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) malah kepada Pakatan Rakyat secara keseluruhannya. Kalau Khairy dulunya membantah “campurtangan asing” MP Australia yang mendesak pertuduhan ke atas Dato’ Seri Anwar digugurkan, apa hak Khairy untuk membantah muafakat PR untuk Dato’ Seri Anwar terus kekal mengepalai PR di Dewan Rakyat?

Khairy menyatakan bahawa tindakan PAS dan DAP yang masih memberi kepercayaan kepada Anwar adalah agak luar biasa kerana bilangan anggota Parlimen dari DAP melebihi PKR kini. Khairy mungkin buta sejarah, kerana sejarah Dewan Rakyat pasca merdeka pernah menyaksikan Almarhum Dato’ Onn Jaafar, perwakilan tunggal Parti Negara di Parlimen pada tahun 1959 dilantik menjadi Ketua Pembangkang meskipun pada ketika itu blok pembangkang didominasi oleh Pas dan Socialist Front. Memimpin PR memerlukan karisma dan kualiti kepimpinan yang fleksibel, dan ini jelas terbukti ada pada Dato’ Seri Anwar pada masa kini dan dipersetujui oleh PAS dan DAP khususnya.

Tidak timbul isu,sebagaimana didakwa Khairy, bahawa PR hanya bergantung kepada Dato’ Seri Anwar tanpa sebarang pelan penggantian. Ini kerana PR tidak mengamalkan pelan penggantian individu yang hanya ditentukan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu sebagaimana Umno. Sebaliknya segala keputusan mengenai hala tuju kepimpinan PR akan bergantung kepada Konvensyen setiap parti komponen dan juga Konvensyen PR sendiri di masa akan datang.

Ini berbeza dengan Umno, pengganti Presiden Umno misalnya, diputuskan oleh penyandang Presiden terdahulu tanpa sebarang proses demokrasi, dan perwakilan Umno dalam Pemilihan Umno hanya menjadi rubberstamp untuk mengesahkan ‘pilihan hati’ penyandang meskipun pilihan itu boleh dipertikaikan kredibilitinya.

AIC berpendapat, adalah wajar bagi Khairy untuk memperkemaskan gerak kerja dan kedudukan beliau di dalam Pergerakan Pemuda Umno, daripada terus mengekori  jejak yang diambil oleh Dato’ Seri Anwar dan PR umumnya.

Jika Khairy merasakan bahawa Dato’ Seri Anwar mendatangkan masalah, AIC sepenuhnya bersetuju bahawa kepimpinan Dato’ Seri Anwar sememangnya mendatangkan masalah, bukan kepada PR, tetapi kepada sistem korup dan perlaksanaan zalim kerajaan Umno-BN sehingga menyebabkan setiap inci jejak dan langkah yang diambil Dato’ Seri Anwar bisa mendatangkan racau terhadap kepimpinan Umno-BN.

Dari TV Selangor
Oleh Fazallah Pit

Tumpuan Lembaga Disiplin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) dalam kes melibatkan Ahli Parlimen Bandar Baru Kulim, Zulkifli Nordin adalah berkaitan tindakannya membuat laporan terhadap rakan parti gabungan, bukannya isu kalimah Allah.

Hal ini ditegaskan Setiausaha Agung PKR, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail yang menyatakan lembaga disiplin itu tidak memberi tumpuan kepada pendirian Zulkifli berhubung isu kalimah Allah yang berbeza dengan parti.

Saifuddin berkata demikian kepada TV Selangor apabila diminta mengulas mengenai tindakan Zulkifli yang menjadikan kehadiran tiga daripada empat panel bukan Islam sebagai alasan menghalalkan perbuatan meninggalkan sidang Lembaga Disiplin.

Panel Lembaga Disiplin itu terdiri daripada Tuan Syed Kamarulzaman selaku Pengerusi Lembaga, Chew Swee Yoke, Goh Keat Peng dan P Kumar.

“Zulkifli dihadapkan ke lembaga displin bukan kerana pendiriannya dalam isu kalimah Allah, sebaliknya kerana tindakannya membuat laporan polisnya terhadap Ahli Parlimen Shah Alam, Khalid Samad.

Pada 23 Januari lalu, Zulkifli memfailkan laporan polis terhadap Ahli Parlimen Shah Alam Khalid Samad selepas pemimpin Pas itu berkata Enakmen Agama Bukan Islam Selangor 1988 perlu dikemas kini mengikut peredaran semasa.

Sebelum ini, perbalahana Zulkifli dan Khalid sekitar isu kalimah Allah dalam blog dan sidang media masing-masing berpanjangan hingga kesempatan itu diambil media arus perdana untuk memutar belit fakta.

“Parti menghormati perbezaan pendapat. Parti mempunyai pendirian dalam isu kalimah Allah, dan kebetulan pendirian Zulkifli h berbeza dari parti tetapi parti tidak bertindak.

“Akan tetapi, kerana beliau menyerang parti rakan (dengan membuat laporan polis terhadap Khalid mengikut Akta Hasutan), Zulkifli disiasat,” katanya.

Terdahulu, Zulkifli pada sidang media selepas meninggalkan sidang lembaga disiplin di ibu pejabat PKR di sini, turut enggan mengiktiraf lembaga disiplin berkenaan.

Mengulas hal itu, Saifuddin, Ahli Parlimen M achang menyifatkan tindakan Zulkifli meninggalkan sidang berkenaan sebagai tidak menghormati Lembaga Displin sebagai salah satu institusi penting PKR.

Kilang Perabut Belakang Rumah Ancam Kesihatan Penduduk

Pada 3 Mac lalu saya dijemput menjadi panelis Wacana Generasi Perubahan: Dasar Bersama Pakatan Rakyat dan Masa Depan Politik Malaysia.

Sebelum forum bermula saya bersama-sama YB Nurul Izzah Anwar (Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai, Wilayah Persekutuan), YB Amran Ghani (Ahli Parlimen Tanah Merah, Kelantan), YB Kesavan (ADUN Hutan Melintang, Perak) dan YB Amirudin Shari (ADUN Batu Caves, Selangor) mengadakan sidang media menyatakan ikrar setia kami kepada Keadilan. Selain kami YB S. Manikumar (Exco Pelancongan Pembangunan Masyarakat dan Sumber Tenaga Manusia Perpaduan dan Hal Ehwal Masyarakat India dan ADUN Bukit Selambau, Kedah), YB Gan Pei Nei (ADUN Rawang, Selangor), YB Yunus Jamhari (ADUN Kuala Kurau, Perak), YB Chang Lih Kang (ADUN Teja, Perak), YB Chan Ming Kai (ADUN Simpang Pulai, Perak) dan YB Sim Tze Tzin (ADUN Pantai Jerejak, Pulau Pinang) turut menandtangani kenyataan tersebut.

YB Yusmadi Yusoff yang telahpun menyatakan komitmennya sebelum itu turut hadir pada sidang media kami.

Seterusnya Wacana Generasi Perubahan berjalan dengan penyertaan Izzah, Amirudin serta YB Liew Chin Tong (DAP – Bukit Bendera), Tricia Yeoh (Pejabat Menteri Besar Selangor) dan Suhaizan Kaiat.

Dalam wacana tersebut saya menyentuh tentang sistem pilihan raya yang bebas, bersih dan adil. Antara lain cadangan Pakatan Rakyat menurunkan usia mengundi kepada 18 tahun, memansuhkan undi pos bagi pengundi dalam negeri tetapi menjamin hak undi pos bagi rakyat Malaysia di luar negara serta isu pembiayaan parti-parti politik. Cadangan Pakatan adalah untuk peruntukan kerajaan berdasarkan jumlah kerusi yang dimiliki parti-parti politik tersebut, tetapi saya juga menyatakan pembiayaan dari pihak awam juga perlu dibolehkan dengan kawalselia ketat seperti had sumbangan dan pengisytiharan kepentingan seperti dibuat di luar negara.

Saya juga ditanya tentang peranan agama dan kaum dalam politik baru. Bagi saya kita kena berbalik kepada prinsip asas yang dianjurkan oleh al Quran iaitu ‘li taarafu’ ataupun saling kenal-mengenali antara satu sama lain. Kita juga kena berkomunikasi antara satu sama lain, kerana pemisahan kita selama ini membolehkan dasar politik pecah dan perintah diteruskan. Memang wujud perbezaan antara kita, tetapi lebih banyak persamaan yang boleh kita sepakati bersama.

Yusmadi ada memberi pendapat bahawa Pakatan belum jelas menunjukkan elemen reformasi dalam dasar-dasar kita. Saya menegaskan pendirian memperkenalkan Agenda Ekonomi Malaysia yang berasaskan meritokrasi dan bantuan berdasarkan keperluan serta seterusnya prinsip Ketuanan Rakyat membuka lembaran baru dalam sejarah politik Malaysia. Jika dahulu Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ditempelak sebagai pengkhianat bangsa kerana mengutarakan idea tersebut, kini UMNO-BN terpaksa menggunakan retorik sama sekalipun sebahagian besar dari UMNO masih memainkan sentimen yang lama.

Sambutan orang ramai amat baik sehingga ramai terpaksa berdiri malah duduk di atas lantai!

Today is the 3rd day with the Nokia X3.

This is my first follow up post on the Nokia X3 a User first look, my impression and review of the Nokia X3, the first post is here (http://malaysiansnapshots2.blogspot.com/2010/03/nokia-x3-user-first-look.html)

On my second read through of the user manual the following things features that I miss out earlier were noted.

1. It is not a 3G phone, as such any web browsing etc will be at the most Digi Edge speed. - My Opinion, Overall for a Phone with Features like IM, Ovi, Web Brouser, E Mail, limiting connectivity to EDGE speed is not so good, at least 3G is needed, Wifi will be better. (But then I purchase this phone is because my wife does not use this 3G and these features)

2. The Micro SD cards it can use is limited officially to 8GB, there are web sites that say that card of up to 16GB is supported.

3. It can connect to a USB Drive Directly from the phone if the power supply of the phone is sufficient enough.

4. It has voice clarity feature to improve voice transmission.

5. The camera has a self timer – My Opinion, I don’t see the point for this feature, It is not like the phone can stand by or balance by it self to take a self time shot, Of course now a days there is this phone tripod, but how likely a person will have the tripod with them when they need it?

Further on the 2 day, (ie the first day the phone is with my wife), when I came back from office I Tested the following.

a. Register with Ovi my wife user Id, number and the Phone via Lap Top

b. Tested out the camera with some outdoor random shots, will do a proper post later on this once I compile all the needed photos of, Outdoor Shot of Landscape, Outdoor Close up, Indoor near window, Indoor away from window, Indoor with curtain close, Night with florescent lighting, Night Outdoor at Pasar Malam. – Overall at this moment I am Happy with the camera.

c. Transferred using the usb cable, MP3’s and (former phone) Photos,

- Around one CD’s worth of MP3 were transferred from DVD directly to the Phone Memory Card via the Laptop, around 600+mb which took around 25 min via the USB cable provided.

- Transferred Photo’s downloaded from the SE750i into the Nokia X3 memory card (in a separate folder), started the camera “view photos”, all the photos show up in thumb nails together with photos taken with the Nokia X3.

d. Transferred using Bluetooth, Photo after Bluetooth paring with my lap top

- Photo transferred over smoothly.

Now the Thorns among the Rose. Here I have the following grouses

i. Ovi – when I went hunting for apps, themes and games from Ovi, once I tap on the apps I want, there is only 2 down load option, send to phone, send to friend, basically it means I have to down load via the phone on edge speed – I want to download via the internet!

ii. Alarm Clock and Message , - there is no way to adjust the Volume of the Alarm Clock and Message Warning Tone, Both are just too soft. Wife slept through the Alarm Clock and the subsequent snooze alarms, Message Tone is also the same, Just cannot hear it. Need to adjust LOUDER Alarm Clock and Message Tone.

End of 2^nd Post on Nokia X3, A user first look.

There will most probably be 2 more posts on the Nokia X3, Camera Test as mention above, and My impression after using the phone for around one month or so.

Yesterday, I had dinner with my buddy Kenrick who I’ve not seen since Rajan’s funeral on 1st January. Kenrick was kind to travel all the way from his house in Kota Kemuning just to have dinner. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communications recently and now looking for a job. Throughout dinner, I thought how grumpy Kenrick looked. I expected to have an easy-go-lucky company, not a grump.

The reason I asked Kenrick to dinner was because I wanted to try being relax and not so cooped up in the presence of a male friend. Kenrick as I remembered him always made me giggle. But when we parted after dinner last night. I also remembered that Kenrick has changed over the last two years which I knew but forgot. Kenrick in my memory was still 17 years old. My memory of him was six years outdated.

I didn’t tell Kenrick the whole reason for wanting to have dinner with him or he might not have come. It has to do with another friend of mine. Tiam Loong seemed more serious after I came back from surgery in December last year. It was quite shocking how a person’s demeanor could change so much over my two weeks of absence. I could not help being self-conscious and suffered myself to wonder if I had said or done anything that caused him to change. Since I tend to have a serious demeanor myself, I feared that people around me might also be changing their demeanor to adapt. In that case, it might mean that I make them feel cooped up.

But after meeting Kenrick, I could see that Tiam Loong isn’t exactly more serious. The better word would be ’matured’. At least, he is not grumpy.

A saying comes to mind. When we perceive something as bad, remember it could be worse!

Dari Malaysia Kini
Oleh Salhan K Ahmad

Wakil rakyat muda Pakatan Rakyat percaya gabungan parti berkenaan kini bertambah kuat apabila elemen-elemen yang tidak diperlukan dalam parti itu kini telah menyingkirkan diri mereka.

Mereka juga akur dengan tugas berat yang kini dipikul dalam mentadbir negeri-negeri yang dikuasai Pakatan – Selangor, Pulau Pinang, Kedah dan Kelantan – serta cabaran untuk mengekalkan sokongan di negeri-negeri berkenaan.

Pandangan ini disuarakan dalam satu forum Wacana Generasi Perubahan dengan tajuk Dasar Bersama Pakatan dan masa depan politik Malaysia di Petaling Jaya malam tadi.

Bagaimanapun, pemimpin-pemimpin muda ini turut mengakui terdapat isu-isu yang mampu menggugat pakatan tersebut, seperti isu penggunaan kalimah Allah yang didakwa telah dimanipulasikan oleh Umno.

Wakil Bukit Bendera Liew Chin Tong (DAP) berkata isu kalimah Allah telah diketahui oleh Umno sebagai satu senjata ampuh yang boleh digunakan bagi menyerang Pakatan.

Bercakap dalam forum itu malam tadi, beliau mendakwa, naib presiden Umno, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein telah memberitahu satu mesyuarat biro politik Umno bahawa ia merupakan satu-satunya isu yang boleh memecahbelahkan Pakatan dengan mudah.

Menurut Liew, inilah yang menyebabkan Pakatan perlu menguatkan kesepakatan dalam mencari ruang bersama di antara anggota gabungan parti tersebut bagi menangkis serangan seperti itu.

Menyetujui pendapat itu ialah seorang lagi wakil rakyat PKR, Nurul Izzah Anwar (Lembah Pantai) yang mendakwa kesan daripada isu kalimah Allah itu sememangnya telah dirancang oleh Umno.

“Pada Februari 2009 ada undang-undang baru yang diluluskan oleh (Datuk Seri) Syed Hamid Albar di Parlimen, tapi tidak sampai setahun mereka sendiri melawan undang-undang yang mereka buat.

“Mereka jugalah yang memperkenalkan isu kalimah Allah. Tidakkah rakyat boleh melihat tangan-tangan ghaib mereka?”

Katanya, label ‘ejen Yahudi’ yang sering dilemparkan kepada PKR kini terkena kepada batang hidung Umno sendiri apabila presiden parti itu Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, menurutnya, diketahui mengupah sebuah firma strategik asing untuk membina imej beliau.

Sementara itu, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad pula berkata parti-parti di bawah Pakatan kini mengambil juga pendekatan yang lebih pragmatik dalam menghadapi dasar-dasar yang diperkenalkan BN seperti cukai barang (GST).

“Kita mengambil pendirian pragmatik, kita tidak tolak sepenuhnya (GST) sebab kita berminat untuk jadi kerajaan,” katanya ketika menjawab satu soalan dalam sesi seterusnya.

“Pendirian kita, GST itu tidak sepatutnya diperkenalkan sekarang sedangkan rakyat sudahpun terbeban dengan cukai yang sedia ada.

“Kerajaan perlu mengurangkan subsidi korporat kepada syarikat yang menerima konsesi besar daripada kerajaan seperti penjana tenaga bebas (IPP) dan Syabas,” katanya.

Seorang ahli panel, Amiruddin Shari yang juga ADUN Batu Cave berkata, kesungguhan Pakatan dalam mengaplikasikan dasar Pakatan itu boleh dilihat dalam usaha kerajaan negeri Selangor menyeimbangkan bantuan kepada setiap golongan masyarakat.

“Contohnya kita beri bantuan sebanyak RM4 juta kepada kepada sekolah agama rakyat, RM4 juta untuk sekolah Cina dan RM4 juta kepada sekolah Tamil,” katanya di forum itu yang dihadiri lebih 100 orang.

“Kita juga ada (konsep) CAT (Keupayaan, Ketelusan dan Akauntabiliti) di Pulau Pinang dan Selcat (jawatankuasa pilihan khas mengenai keupayaan, kebertanggungjawaban dan ketelusan) di Selangor untuk pastikan setiap DUN berfungsi dengan aktif melalui kaedah semak dan imbang,” katanya lagi.

Turut bercakap dalam forum berkenaan ialah wakil PAS Suhaizan Kaiat dan juga pegawai penyelidik menteri besar Selangor Tricia Yeoh.

Dasar bersama Pakatan Rakyat kali pertama dibentangkan pada 19 Disember lalu, yang menyaksikan dukungannya secara rasmi oleh kesemua pemimpin tertinggi PAS, DAP dan PKR dalam satu konvensyen yang julung kali diadakan.

The news is a few hours old now: Valve recently distributed mock ads that, if anything else, implies that Steam will be available for Mac OS X.

Valve’s Steam is a popular online store for games. Customers browse the catalog of popular PC games—which includes recent hits like Modern Warfare 2 to DOS classics like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis—through a browser or the Steam desktop client. Games are playable once paid for with a credit card or PayPal, and after the desktop client has downloaded the content. No need to keep a game disc in your optical drive, no need to jump through copy-protection hoops.

Throughout it’s entire existence, Steam has been Windows-exclusive. Linux enthusiasts have gotten some of the games to work on their favorite build, and of course Mac users get BootCamp to run Windows on their computers. But Valve’s lucrative gaming ecosystem has been officially a Windows PC project.

Bringing Steam to Mac OS X involves certain obstacles, from a development point of view. Most of the games available on the catalog don’t have a Mac version, especially older games that originally ran on DOS. But since Apple’s PCs use the same hardware as Windows PCs, I don’t think Valve will have too much trouble, especially if Apple has started taking Valve seriously. A good number of games already have Mac counterparts/work on a Mac anyway.

So is Steam Coming to the Mac? Right now, your guess is as good as mine. But I’ve never known Valve to blatantly mislead its customers, so I’m leaning on “yes”. Only time will tell though, so stay tuned for updates.

Hello,

I was wondering about the matter not so long time ago, about 1 year time. I just came back from a medical school in Ireland, currently continuing my last 2 years in northern Malaysia.

I went to blood bank to donate blood, then I saw in the from, anyone who have been to UK, Eire and some other european countries around 1986 and after, are not allowed to donate blood.

I was wondering about any update or revision done on the regulation. As we all known, yes there was some studies suggesting a long incubation period about the virus. But is there any ‘active’ revision or studies about the chance of spreading it when you consume/ingest meats over there 2-3
times 5-6 years ago, asymptomatic, came back, donate blood.

Cant there be any screening done on the donated blood for CJD like what’s done for HIV?

Till when will this be going on? I would say we are all so keen to donate blood, as we are all aware of the low level in our blood bank, but just couldnt do so coz no one is revising the rule..which could have been outdated.

Hi MKA. Thanks for your comment. The concern about blood donation from people residing in UK is that variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease more popularly known as “Mad Cow Disease” has a very long incubation period and there is no reliable blood test at present to detect this. Hence this measure to preclude donors who resided in UK in the 80’s until about 1990 (when the use in the food chain of bovine offals was banned).
To date, there has been no known Mad Cow Disease reported in Malaysia, though there was an Mad Cow-like incidence in Penang some time ago

from the Malaysian Medical Resources

Blood donation regulation by students coming back from overseas

So I’ve completely forgotten that I have a blog and I have an unwritten obligation and duty to churn out random stuff here. How have I been the past few days:

Miserable

Two days ago, I was struck with the worst insomnia I’ve ever had in a long long time. I went to bed at 1 a.m and lay there painfully until the big clock chimed five times. Five freaking a.m and I was still wide awake. As if that was not bad enough, I suddenly felt the urge to vomit?? Great. I finally fell asleep and had to force myself to wake up at 10 the next morning for class T___T

Busy

You know I suddenly don’t enjoy studying anymore. It’s always about meeting deadlines and writing papers and reading stuff you’re not really interested in. I love what I’m studying, it’s just that it has become a must instead of a want. I have three 6-page papers due by the end of next week and I have no idea how I can do it. I will eventually get through it but I’m just kinda perplexed at my lack of enthusiasm these days.

In pain

I woke up today with a really bad stabbing pain somewhere near my ovaries? uterus? I don’t know how to describe it but it’s really bothering me. I’m still alive and can still walk but I’m kind of worried, not because I might die but because if this pain persists, HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO FINISH MY PAPERS???

Disappointed

I don’t know what is your concept of friendship and I don’t know if I have one myself but recently I’ve been getting increasingly disillusioned in what I perceive to be a true friendship. I constantly delude myself into having too high an expectation for my friends and it has so far just led to disappointments over and over again. I used to be a very confident person and I used to believe in the things I do. But an extremely bad episode with certain people threw me off the cliff and shattered my self-belief permanently.

After that, all I asked for was just to have drama-free friends. I cannot deal with that blow again and I just wanted people who wouldn’t take what I confide in them and shout it out for people to hear. I don’t need to be around such poison that is slowly eating me alive as a person. Personal attacks on the principles I hold dear to, on the things I do, on the what I wear,  on how I look - no I don’t need that, not especially from people I trust.

Then I found people who are drama-free. People who don’t listen attentively to what you say only to spin around and whisper a twisted concoction to the person next to them. But these people come with their own trade off. They don’t gossip, but they’re also highly unreliable. They are nowhere to be found when you need them most and they take your values of friendship lightly.

At least with the former type, they are always there for you. For the wrong reasons? who cares, they are there when you need them.

So when it comes down to this, what is it going to be?

Relaxed

Despite all these negative emotions, I’m feeling strangely calm and relaxed in a weird way. I used to be so tensed.. so stressed all the time. But these days I’m like a big blob, blobbing its way with the flow of things. Maybe I know some things will always remain the way it is so no point pulling my hair out because of it.

All that said, I’m sorry I’ve been quite different lately. Perhaps not so funny, maybe a little not so sohai and wtf anymore, but I assure you in essence I’m still the same person. It’s just all this trying to discover who I am/growing up/testing my limits phase.

I have a very controversial issue I want to talk about, about people who are selling their souls to private, unethical, profit-making firms, but I will leave that for another day. I need to finish the 350 page book for my paper due in a few days argh!!!!!!! College is not only taking away my money but my happiness and zest for life! Why the need to assign so much work??

UMNO menyerang Parti Keadilan Rakyat bertubi-tubi kerana ia mahu Barisan Nasional mendapatkan majoriti dua prtiga kerusi Parlimen dengan apa cara sekali pun. Dengan kuasa dua pertiga itu, mereka boleh pinda Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Mereka boleh ubah suai kawasan Parlimen . Mereka mahu lebih banyak kerusi majoriti orang Melayu kerana UMNO ingat orang Melayu tetap menyokongnya. Kononnya kalau tambah kerusi majoriti Melayu, maka kerusi UMNO dalam pilihan raya akan bertambah. Oleh itu, untuk dapatkan majoriti dua pertiga ini, UMNO berjaya menarik beberapa orang Ahli Parlimen PKR untuk menyokong BN bagi tujuan ini. Nampaknya hasrat Najib untuk mengembalikan kerusi dua pertiga di Parlimen akan tercapai. Saya percaya ada beberapa Ahli Parlimen PKR lagi akan keluar parti tidak lama lagi.

Sekarang kita bukan saja ada “Sodomy 2”; tetapi kita juga berhadapan dengan fenomena politik “Perak 2” di mana apa yang terjadi di Perak sudah pun bermula di peringkat pusat. Fenomena menggunakan wang, sogokan dan imbuhan ditawarkan untuk orang-orang PKR ini untuk berpaling tadah. Ini bukan kenyataan yang dibuat untok menutup kelemahan PKR dan kepimpinannya.Ini lah yang benar-benar berlaku. Inilah maklumat dan laporan yang kita terima dari orang ramai. Memang ada aspek tertentu dalam pengurusan parti yang perlu kita perbaiki, dan perkara ini sudah pun diakui dan tindakan telah pun diambil. Tetapi kita tidak dapat menahan “political mercenaries ” atau mereka yang sanggup menggadai perjuangan dengan wang dan jawatan, daripada melompat keluar dari parti kita.

Walaupun berberapa pemimpin parti melompat, sebenarnya sokongan rakyat bertambah. Inilah kekuatan kita yang sebenar. Inilah yang perlu disebar dan difahami oleh penyokong Pakatan Rakyat. Lihat sahaja sokongan padu para pemimpin dan ahli-ahli Parlimen DAP dan PAS terhadap Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim; ini menunjukkan perpaduan kita yang kukuh dan ikhlas. Kita bersama telah dapat mengatasi politik rasuah ini. Pilihan raya akan datang bergantung kepada kuasa rakyat, dan bukan kepada beberapa kerat “political mercenaries” yang melompat ini.

Saya dan kawan-kawan dalam PKR tetap akan mempertahankan perjuangan politik Pakatan Rakyat. Setelah selesai fenomena melompat ini, keadaan akan tenang kembali. Kita tidak akan lumpuh, malah kita akan lebih kuat. Kita akan lebih teliti dalam memilih calon, kita akan lebih cermat melantik wakil dalam jawatan tertinggi parti. PKR telah menghadapi keadaan yang lebih dahsyat daripada serangan wang ini, tetapi kita masih subur dan kuat. Ini bererti ramalan Pak Pandir kononnya PKR akan lumpuh hanyalah mimpi di siag hari kerana mereka tahu siapa sebenarnya yang telah kehilangan sokongan rakyat.

Saya harap rakyat Malaysia yang mahukan perubahan tetap yakin dengan perjuangan kami. Kalau dulu tak ramai yang berkaliber yang mahu bertanding di bawah tiket PKR, kini sudah sampai masanya anda menyahut cabaran untuk bersama-sama kami mengubah politik negara. Jika anda yang berwibawa tak mahu menyertai perjuangan ini untuk membasmi rasuah, salah guna kuasa, politik perkauman dan bermacam gejala buruk lain, maka mereka yang tak berkaliberlah akan mengisi kekosongan ini.

小朋友们星期二是有考试的。
可是我们不知道，为什么不知道呢？
因为我们没有看小朋友们的‘记事簿’
为什么没有看‘记事簿’呢？
因为我们没有想到有什么大件事会发生。
没有那个父母像我们这么‘求其’（随便）的了。

喜喜星期一、二没有上课，所以昨天回到学校补考。
考了原本星期三安排的华文写作，然后休息时间继续补考星期一的Penulisan和电脑。

华文写作是考什么？她们会写作了吗？

anyway……

喜喜的感染还没完全好。
昨晚又吐，体温回升38°。
做功课的时候我回房看鱼宝宝睡觉，出来的时候看见她倒在椅子的把手睡着了。
于是决定，第二天还是在家休息一天，反正星期四没有考试。
让她回房睡，十二点多钟的时候她醒来，小紧张的说功课还没有做完。
我安慰她说明天不上课，功课可以在外婆家做，她又睡了回去。

其实喜喜这个毛病吃胡乱吃食的结果。
要把肠胃养好是个考验耐力的活儿。
这些日子她都只能吃粥等好消化的东西。

可是她不爱吃粥……
唉……

Been in Puchong for 5 days. Well, I can only tell – FUCKING HOT! I don’t know what is so wrong with the weather, but it is extremely hot in here compare to Sibu. Probably the earth is crying, earthquake… Any connection?

Anyway, these 5 days were not actually wasted.

I met the old housemates…

Full house in Sunway Pyramid, probably a lot of people has my face on their photo album, since we all just sitting on the table behind the car

Take a walk…

Went to One Utama again, not because we want to shop like freak, but the weather are too hot to stays at home, so we talk a 6 hours walking session in the mall, listen to more than 3 group of sales about their insurance quote and etc.

Celcom broadband…

I over heard a conversation that Celcom broadband has been bad lately in whole Malaysia. Maybe I have the answer right now… But, what the hell, I’m in Indonesia already

No air-condition still fine…

Going back the life of 4 months back. I don’t appreciate air-condition a lot, but started to get use to it already

More update soon. A lot of pending tasks due to this 5 days, KNS!
