Money, Knowledge & People have raised me up!!

In today’s modern world, most of us have now become a civilized person when they know how to write and express ideas. Money have indeed influenced our life style and daily behavior. How human could forget their root, just for the sake of wealth.

My dear readers,

Today, a friend of mine called me , and asked for my help…. so that she could finished her survey for her presentation. These are the questions, that she brought up for me to answer:-

1) Why do you need money?

2)What for ,would you spend using your money?

3) Can you buy friendship with your money?

4) Can money determine your happiness?

And i answered each question based on my experience and based on my surroundings. It doesn’t matter, how i have answered all these questions, because tonight im gonna tell you, my story, regarding about friendship and money. How both of it, have brought me here. A journey far enough to make me a more matured person.

In a global point of view, most of us will not refuse towards money. We would do anything, just to be a rich person. As for me, my money, honestly speaking, ill rather spend it on my friends than on branded cloths such as Nikei t-shirts and so on. But before i prioritized my friends, i need to care about my family. How your money could make people happy when you gave them a sugar smile. Which means using your money for something which is permanent, such as sweet memories. “Hanging out and sharing your secrets and problems together”

As for me, in my earlier days…. “i thought that friends could be bought with money”. But seriously, at that particular time, my friends were looking more to my money, than to actually be a friend to me. But that was in standard 1, standard 2, and standard 3… I could still remember Jeremy and the other of my childhood friends. We did not think much, because we were young at that time. We dont even care much what the meaning of friendship was. “we are materialistic when we were young”. “we are more materialistic when we are matured”. “we are looking more to money when we have knowledge”. When i grew older, i sort of been left behind with a lot of issue such as in the technology field. Its quite late when i actually got my own pc in my own room. Lucky for me, i have 4 friends which are willing to guide me till this far.

Its quite painful, to actually been left behind. When suddenly people asked me “do you have an i pod?” At first, i am clueless what an i pod is. Its more painful, when people actually teased you regarding this issue. By the way i survived. I actually learned a lot of things which is not in my favor. When i say ” not in favor”, it means that im not interested in that. But because, i want to keep up with other people, so that i could actually mingle and speak to them, i actually tortured myself. To actually be interested in something that i dun like at all. When time passes by, I sort of love all the things, that i have hated before. How high school have made me a great person.

Regarding high school, at first im very scared to actually enter that new world. So sad to actually leave “sekolah rendah”. Im scared that, i will never find a friend which could actually stand my behavior. On the way, i was actually eager to find my own fame. When i actually look back at my past, its quite funny though. How i actually learned to lead people, and at the same time, i want people to know me. The way i expressed myself is funny. I was a prefect in Maher. I hope my friends accept me as who i am. Sometimes i do believe that im very annoying.

Looking at me now, i actually have friends….. friends which i rely on!! friends that i would not ever hurt. Because i know, being a good friend is not easy. We are human. “We tend to back stab each other” By the way, im still searching for a girl. Hopefully , ill get a girl soon enough.

Now, im waiting for my exam results. I hope im back to school, but there is no more school. I believe that when my friends, read this post, they will actually teased me for being such an emo. Never mind, i dont care. Its my blog..haha

So guys, in raising me up, my parents did use a lot of money, but sometimes i consider them very stingy. Not my parent only… your parents did the same to you! To be happy money is not the only thing we should consider.” Kekayaan x semestinya sempurna” Sometimes i believe my friends makes me happier than a million box. I no longer buy my friends, because friends will not come when you are rich…. a friend will understand you… they will help you… even though i found that being a teen with a lack of knowledge is difficult, but the difficulties have raised me up as a person. When you grow up, people will not treat you the same as they treat you when you are a baby. CONSIDER THAT….

A St Xavier student who became a St Thomas member… a St Thomas member who then became a padang garong 1 citizen…. a padang garong 1 graduate, who then became a maherian, a maherian who debates, but a debater which never succeeded yet….. a debater which works as a prefect…. and a prefect who seek for respect….. and respect and fame i did get…. a prefect which was very scared to mingle around…. a prefect who then have changed.

From a noob IT person, i know about friendster, facebook and so on… Thanks to my friends…. nice one…

” Most of us never realized, how friends are very important in our daily life. You are happy when a friend appeared in your life. You are happy when you own a pose, a lot of gold , a lot of jewelery, and together with a huge mansion . However what is the meaning of life if you dont have friends.”

ADIOS and peace

Love is blind!

“love is blind” What a nice statement. The old folks have nurtured us with such a saying. There are a lot we could surely talk when it comes to people’s feeling. Some say love is hurtful. Some say love is very magical. It depends on the eye of the beholder.

Regarding the statement above, most of us, would do anything for the sake of love. Either to be closer to the beloved, even though he knew that the love will in return go no where. There are people willing to kill when they are in love.

Recently ive been reading a Japanese comic entitle Orange Kiss… What a nice comic about love. There’s also a story about love we could watch on tv. All of the love stories ended nicely. Logically that’s just a movie. Love in life is complicated.

This is what i think about love…. nice one.. ADIOS

“When men progresses in ict, men regresses in morality”

Do you agree with such a statement? For your information, this is one of the topic which was used as a debate motion , in year 2007 for the Tan Sri Wira Abdul Rahman Arsyad Cup. The motion was used at the second round of the tournament. The host which was Sarawak lost to Sabah. The final debate was between Sabah and Selangor. The final motion for the debate competition was not about ict at all, but it’s actually about “sacrificing economic growth for the sake of the environment”. At the end of the championship, the Sabah debaters reign supreme as the champion of the tournament.

“When men progresses in ict, men regresses in morality”

ICT is the study of the technology used to handle information and aid communication. The phrase was coined by [?] Stevenson in his 1997 report to the UK government and promoted by the new National Curriculum documents for the UK in 2000.- Dictionary.com

By the way, this motion revolve around humanity itself. You could either blame human for misusing such a tool, or you could blame ict for coexisting. According to wikipedia, ict stands for Information and Communications Technology. If you ask me personally, i will say that ict is something regarding about the internet and so on. I believe that ict was first developed in English, this is by referring to the sources of information we can get from the internet. Most of them are written in English.

Modern English is sometimes described as the first global lingua franca.English is a dominant international language in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy -WIKIPEDIA

Well.. well!!! During the debate, most of the debaters proposing, came up with pornography, internet crime, piracy and so on. They believe that the progress in ict have caused all these problems to occur. With the development of ict, human could enjoy, and get the finest entertainment ever. Once again, the affirmative relate ict to time management. They came up with a fact saying that, students are glued to their computers most of the time. Which means our teenagers are actually wasting their precious time. Overall the affirmative, relate all these problems with the regress in morality. By the way, i am not sure how can we judge people’s morality. Sometimes, most of us, are just acting, and not being our true self. I believe that there are also people, who never regresses in morality, even he/she did watch pornographic movies.

On the other hand, the negative came up with a brilliant idea, saying that when we progresses in ict, we could actually develop a software to stop the problem which are stated by the proposing team. They did also stated that, the pornography is just passive, and the one who is to blame is human who are attracted to it. So what’s the difference? Ict is still the tool which are used by human to develop porn. Anyway, one of my closest friend, who replaced me as the third speaker, came up with a brilliant point. He actually said that “porn is an art”. Btw, he got this statement from reader’s digest. He was the only person to come up with that. And that was very brave.

Btw. How can human create such an entertainment like porn? In this issue i believe, human need to be disciplined, in a way of their mingling. They should actually be equipped with a religion. Some of them should be ashamed.. and they should have the feeling of being shy!!! sometimes, too much bravery is not very good……. porn to me sounded very unethical!!

As for me, ict have actually facilitated me, to widen my knowledge. So if we progresses in ict, its actually up to the person himself. Either he could use his ict knowledge ,for the good or otherwise.

so, what i want to know now, is how can we actually measure or judge one’s morality??? Is it enough to judge people just by looking at them?. Sometimes, we need to consider using this proverb which goes “don’t judge the book by its cover”… or is it appropriate to judge a person physically, because some say the physical reflects their true self….

what do you think?

The future !

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about my future career. What am i gonna be in a few years’ time? It sort of pass through my mind for several times.

Last Saturday i went to Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, for The Star Education Fair. There are hundreds of booth consist of different universities from all around the world. The glamorous which were the students of Lim Kok Wing University was also there. Undeniable they are very good in their attire. But i doubt their performance.

While i was there, i could see different type of universities and institution being gathered at one place. The public universities, the private and so on. There was also a Baking Institution which surprised me the most.

By the way, i am interested in becoming a doctor, and a corporate businessman . For the doctor part, i am actually choosing either to become a neurologist or a forensic expert. If i dont have the chance to be in the Medicine courses, ill go for the Management courses which includes financing, marketing, organizational behavior, operation management and so on.

For forensic, i have two choices. I could either further my studies in medicine at The International Medical University(IMU), which requires a higher requirement , or i could go straight to the forensic field by taking the Pharmaceutical Chemistry there. For the Pharmaceutical Chemistry course, it requires a lower requirement where i just need to get a c for my chemistry. If i choose this field, and take USM as my university, then i will just be studying near to my house for threee years for a degree(usm kelantan).

If i cant make it to become a doctor,so ill decide later either to go to Malaysia Multimedia University(MMU), or to USM School of Management. Ill be taking accounting and so on. This courses will ensure me to get a job in the market.

By the way, right now i have applied a job at Nine West as a sale assistant, with a salary around RM1050-1500 .Wow! better work then doing noting..

with or without income tax??Pas or BN? Pak Lah or Dr M?

2 days ago, i went to my uncle’s, and i have a chance to actually have a serious discussion with my cousins. With Faiqa chatting with her msn, Alyaa and i was actually defending our premises going against Kak Zura….

First we argued about chua soi lek’s scandal…. perghhh!! Zura was actually defending Chua Soi Lek, saying that he was not supposed to resign from his pose as the health minister….. ” The Malay don’t’ even care about chua soi lek’s sex video . Pak Lah said nothing, and not a single word comes out from Najib’s mouth.The Chinese are the one who gave a lot of pressure to Chua Soi Lek, until he decided to resign from his pose. We should judge chua soi lek trough his performance, not from a single mistake he made”–Zura!! That was what Kak Zura said…. btw perghhh…. thats not the point…

The point is now…. would you vote for Pas, because Pas proposed the idea for Malaysia to live without income tax(which means no more taxes).At first when arguing with my cousins, i sort of agree with Pas. Imagine!!! no income tax!! no more burden!!! you could actually save your money for other things, but….. i almost forgot, that without income tax how would Malaysia survive??Malaysia would not survive, just with the sale of oil alone…. Maybe you could say, Petronas have now become a company known by the whole world… but without income tax, we will not achieved the development as it is today!!!

Without income tax who would pay for for my father’s pension?? For those working in private sectors, even though, you don’t get any pension, but the income tax will be returned to you in a form of development and charity(free text book, scholarship, school without fees, comfortable road, urbanization, unique sculpture, icon,etc)…. Without income tax, whose gonna pay for the policemen’s salary ,who gave their life to make Malaysia a better place to live.

Take Brunei for example, a small county depending on oil alone, the people of Brunei are not charged for any taxes… those who go to the mosque even get money. When looking at this scenario, you would say that Brunei is a rich country.Unfortunately, the absence of income tax, have made Brunei how it is today. Brunei never develops. No research made, and its main city is smaller than Kuala Kangsar… OMG.. So decide wisely when voting!! election is coming soon.. But anyway Pas made a good point to stop income tax, because Malaysian paid double, because there is already the zakat.

On other issue, we’ve heard Pak Lah being condemned in Malaysia Today. If compared to Mahathir , its true that Mahathir was better…. !!!there are no reason for a few development, which are brought by Pak Lah…( Eye of Malaysia, Iskandariah koridor raya).Since Pak Lah take over, the oil price keep rising. People keep complaining. I get the point that, Malaysia bought oil with a low price and sell it back with a higher price. Economically, there’s a reason for it.

But when people questions Pak Lah about a certain project he launched, he would easily reply “awak x nak pembangunan ke?” This is the difference between Pak Lah and Dr M. Dr M would surely explained a certain project he launched specifically with reasons.For Pak Lah, he has been introducing the concept of Islam Hadhari for such a long time, but unfortunately i don’t understand this concept very well!!!…. most of my cousins and my friends disagree with the additional of the word ‘hadhari’ in front of Islam.

So, if given a chance to speak out loud, i would beg Dr M to once again come back and hold, the pose of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, because there’s something fishy in today’s government. ADIOS for now!! peace

Fluency or politeness??…. origami or love!

In each moment of our valuable life, either during business hour,eating, negotiating, or during discussion hour, what is the main element which makes everything acceptable? When i say acceptable, it means the idea we gave to people. The idea could be brilliant, but what if we cant express those brilliant ideas, due to the lack of English mastering. How can a Brazilian communicate with an Indian? It is for sure through the same language which is the international language, English. But wait!! What if, fluency versus politeness. Which means there is a slight competition, between those who are very fluent, and those who cant speak English well but very polite.

A tragedy stunned me, and make me realized how politeness is something sweet. When you are talking, which means you are reflecting yourself. And politeness is more powerful than fluency. Today a girl by the name Nor Farhana aka Nana amazed, me with her polite presentation. Before this she was not very good in English, but with a prepared speech, and by using a lot of polite expression such as “may i recommend you”, “mind me asking”, “i wish i can agree with you”, and so on, her presentation was a success.

She was the first girl to amazed me in such a ceremony. With a presentation entitle, “Flower”, she read a beautiful poem about flower. And she did also showed us, a demo to make an origami flower. Suddenly, i realized that this girl, have shown me my new interest. How her politeness, have attracted me to a such art what we call origami. Abruptly, i tried to form an origami bird, with the help of Swee Ni, but it led me no where. So looking at the unique origami, i am sure that origami would be a nice and low budget decoration. If you are bored or doing nothing, origami would surely be a nice hobby. From that moment, i realized that im interested in origami. So i decided that, whenever i go to a bookstore, i will try my best to find a book on origami.Thanks to Farhana, her speaking and persuasion did work. The fact that Farhana was not fluent, cannot be seen, because her politeness, closed the weak part of her speech.

She did inform us about roses and its colour. Each rose have its own colour and meaning. I hope one day, i could give Farhana a red rose. A red rose which shows sincerity and tranquility. But the roses will be accompanied with tulips, because tulips, is her favourite flower. The politeness, have glued me to her. But, i dont have the gut yet to give her such a present.That is y i post this topic. Hopefully, when the time comes, she is still not yet owned by other men. Love or origami… or is it both.. for now she is not yet owned by any men… Who knows, its in god’s hand…….

this is nana…

so, whatever happen…. when fluency versus politeness!!! politeness will always win. Although i sort of got a higher mark for my presentation then she did, but i believe, she is better than me… y??, because she was polite… no one can resist politeness..
