Malaysia 'Chaos' Association?

The news headline today reads 'MCA deputy president Chua Soi Lek sacked'. Reason? The infamous sex scandal happened nearly 2 years ago.

What can I say about this? When I heard Chua was sacked by the MCA party president Ong Tee Keat because of this reason, I was like 'Are you kidding?'

I personally felt it was super harsh. Why suddenly sack someone because of something that happened so long ago? Furthermore, Chua definately has took his responsibilty. After the scandal, he resigned from all posts, and faded away from the political scene. Then, Chua decided to take part in the party elections at the end of last year, competing for the deputy president post. Ong, who was going for the party president post at the time, publicly said that there are no 'menu' or specific preferences as to who he wants his deputy to be. Ong claimed that he will work with whichever candidate who was voted as his deputy.

It turned out that Ong and Chua both won the posts they competed for. Ever since then, reports saying that they do not work well with each other never failed to surface. When choosing the party members for the Cabinet, Chua, who was the deputy president, wasn't given any posts.

Until today, the bombshell was dropped, Chua was sacked. This is a very controversial decision as Chua had took his resposibility, and was then VOTED in as deputy president. It's pretty clear that he had paid for his sins. But then, why was he sacked for the reason again? Is it really because of sex scandal? Or is it as certain reports said that Ong did not work well with Chua? Then again, Ong said he will work well with whoever voted his deputy? Oh... the questions could go on and on...

But one thing is for sure, this decision will cause unrest among some party members of MCA. However, to how much an extent still remains to be seen. Hopefully all the problems can be sought out as soon as possible to avoid splitting the party, which is the ultimate chaos. Furthermore, such a problem might also be emphasized by the Oppositions in order to challenge the position of BN...

Note: Above are all just the writer's opinion. Don't mean to offend anybody. xD

Iguana Invasion


It's a rainy day today. I was sitting on the sofa in my living room playing my handphone games (yes, I'm that lame). Suddenly heard my dad called me to look at something. Wow! I was shocked to see a small iguana on the floor! At first I was a bit scared (I admit), but then I felt that it's not everyday that an iguana happens to turn up in your house right? Lolz. So I decided to have a close up look at it. I don't have the habit of taking pictures of memorable things. xD. I have missed so many pictures worth taking in the past. Haha. As this time I had my phone in my palms, so I managed to take a picture of that iguana, before my dad chased it out of the house. And yeah! We didn't kill it! :)

Well... while it run, it looks kinda cute after all. It's not that kind of scary animal that I first thought. But then... I repeat, this is a small one... Don't play with the big ones... >.<

Losing streak (me in minesweepers) vs. Winning streak (Usain Bolt in 100m)

First of all, this post is a response to my cousin's post on his blog. Yeah! YOU!!!

Lolz! I've always considered myself a pro in Minesweeper @ MSN Games. Winning 3 rounds out of 3 against anyone is just kinda normal to me, just like Usain Bolt winning the 100meters athletics event.

Until recently... I've started to lose my advantage. I don't know why. Hehe. Maybe is bad luck? Or I used to have good luck? No no no... I've won so many times before, it couldn't be luck.

So conclusion is: I had bad luck in the game recently. xD

On the other hand, I talked about Usain Bolt just now. And yeah! He has won the 100meters again yesterday! Also, he broke his own world record set exactly a year ago in the Olympics! He slashed his old record by 0.11s to bring it to 9.58s. How fast exactly is 9.58seconds?

Well, in the time it took me to finish typing this sentence, he would have launched from his block, accelerated, and are now 100meters away from his starting point.

Usain Bolt has became one of my favourite sporting idols. Why? Not just because he is the fastest sprinter around, but also because he has a built which doesn't look like a sprinter! He is lanky (195cm), and not as athletic and muscular as fellow sprinters like Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell. Traditionally, 100meters world champions are not taller than 6 feet/183cm, and are usually very muscular. Such a built ensures top acceleration. When you have long legs, common sense tells you that it takes longer for you to move it doesn't it? Just think of 2 simple pendulums, one with a shorter string and one with a longer string, which 1 will swing faster when you release it from a same point? It might be a disadvantage to Bolt for having long legs, but it could also turn out to be an advantage because if he could take his strides at the same speed as his competitors, then his larger steps with his long legs would meant an advantage to him. And that's exactly what he did!

Sportsmen like Usain Bolt inspires me that lanky people could still use their long legs to their advantage! ^^

The lesson of the day is: When you don't have something which others have, you can work and exploit what you have and use it to the max! If you are not gifted with something others have, then surely you are gifted with something which others don't have! :)

OMG!!! Do I sound like a motivational speaker or what??? Oh well...


Clear-cut winner.



Asafa Powell, Tyson Gay, Usain Bolt.


Bolt Trademark.

Deja Vu

I know this is kinda random but when I came across this word today, I was like 'OMG!!! So long never experience it already. Almost forgotten about this thingy!'

First of all, I would like to say I experience Deja Vu quite often last time. Okay... For those who don't know what it is, it's really something you need to experience in order for you to understand it. Have you ever experienced something that is happening now seem to have happened to you before? It's like you have been in an exact same situation before when actually it is happening for the first time.

If you never experienced it before, then I'm sure you will feel unbelievable that such things would happen. But it exists!

I used to have Deja Vu few years back. Sometimes when a friend talk to me, I was like 'Hey, looks like you have said this exact same thing, in this exact same place, with the exact same surroundings before!' Of course this is impossible, how could the exact same thing happen twice? xD

Well... So far there is no conclusion as to why and how Deja Vu happens. Only some predictions said that maybe it has something to do with dreams. But how on earth could I dream of something that will happen in the future?

And the weird thing is, although it means you feel like something has happened before, Deja Vu doesn't go the way in which you can predict what happens next. In fact, it goes the way in which you have a memory of something that is currently happening, however you don't know what's next, but when it comes, you will go like: Oh yeah! This is it, this is what happened! Lol... weird weird weird.

Haha! It didn't happen to me for a long time already. Does it mean anything? Anyway I don't mind experiencing it again as it is not freaking at all. ^^

This post so random lar... Nevermind... To make it more random, I will just say there is a movie called 'Deja Vu', and there's also a song by Beyonce called 'Deja Vu' as well... zzz -_-"

Peace

A week that was...

6 days has passed since my last blog post, and it's the longest period of emptiness (no posts) since I started my blog. But it doesn't mean that nothing happenned to me. Lolz! So here are some of the happennings of the past week, a week that was:

~ Boring
It's the second week of my semester break and, basically, I did nothing. Zzz. Oh ya! I slept... zzz

~ Happy and Suprised
Found out my results for my past semester and it kinda shocked me because I, personally, think I did quite well, at least it's unexpectedly better than what I thought I will achieve. I managed to hold on to my 'clean record' of never being failed for any of my course subjects until now. My results for my 5 subjects this past semester are (Just for your info ya! Not bragging):
Public Relations: A (It's everyone's good work for making the PR event a success! ^^)
Media Planning: B+ (Miss Maha was quite strict in marking this paper, a number of classmates failed, honestly I don't know how I passed -_-")
Creative Strategy: B (Phew...)
Consumer Behaviour: C+ (Was worried about this subject.)
Principles of Advertising: C+ (Doesn't feel good about this subject too.)
Once again I made it, and I guess I've managed to raise my CPGA to above 3.00 (my target) after these results. Perhaps now I should go for 3.50???

~ Thrilling
My friend Yung Loo was robbed while walking near his home on Wednesday. The robber came with a motorcycle, pointed a knife to his neck, and took his belongings away. He lost his wallet with RM40+ inside, IC, driver's license, handphone, and some books in his bag. This happenned at a 'lorong' or alley between two middle units of a row of terrace house. And I only got to know about this incident the next day.

~ Special
On Friday, 7th August, at 12:34:56pm, it's the '123456789' moment which lasts for merely a second. But it wouldn't happen again ever in my life. And I missed it, by a minute. I was sitting in front of my PC chatting and when I realized it, it was already 12:35pm... T.T

~ Nostalgic
Invaded my (beloved) secondary school's football field to have a match between 'old boys' and 'current students'. Had to wait till 10am before we could start our match, and gosh, it was hot! After playing a while I cannot 'tahan' the heat already. The match ended 1-1. Keen for a rematch! And I want it early before the sun rises!

~ Exciting
The football season is back this weekend! With Chelsea vs Manchester United in the Community Shield. Can't wait for Chelsea to grab their first of many trophies this season! Wahaha~~
