Reality vs Truth

I happen to come across an article called “Sarawak” in Wikipedia. It was mentioned Sarawak was given independence at 22 July 1963. It was freaking disappointing to see this fact never even appear in our History textbook ! I certainly did not know this fact because I was brainwashed in my school time. I bet most Sarawakian doesn’t even know this too!  It was obviously overshadowed by the 31 August 1957. Bearing in mind, Sarawak joined Malaya in 16 September1963 to form Malaysia. This pivotal date wasn’t recognised until few years ago when that day became Malaysia Day. WTF !!! Even so, to celebrate 31 August 1957 for the independence of Malaysia is a disgrace because Malaysia was not formed that time. It’s the Malaya !! For god’s sake, 22 July 1963 was ignored and16 September 1963 was disregarded for few decades. WTH is our Ministry of Education doing....or...sleeping perhaps....

Star·Strucked !!

Najib's visited London on 14 July 2011, 5 days after the Bersih rally....

Guess Najib wouldn't be arresting Queen Elizabeth even he had arrested all the pro-bersih Malaysians !

Ridiculous Statement

Oh my goth

" the group as the country’s third line of defence after the armed forces and the police, said he wanted silat members to help transform the country."


"I believe that if our country is attacked, out silat exponents will rise and defend it,"

Testimony (LIFE): High Hopes and Broken Dream

The final of Geography turns out to be a failure:

·         Delayed for 1 hour

·         Malfunction of projector

·         Assorted types of questions for finals, without any distinct level in difficulties. There are many types of history type questions in the top 4, top 3 rounds and a map question in a final ?? I thought the level of difficulties are supposed to start from the easiest which is map and in to a detail and distinct landmarks, capital, history and background of a country.

·         Same hamper are given to 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th place….tsk tsk….

·         It’s all about luck, not geography since random question are given according to the group number. If you get a difficult question like what happened my team..”Which is the exact year of Belgium’s revolution”…. It’s game over because 1 question can cost you an exit in the competition.

Lol Zzzzzz Hamper

It was a happy ending anyway, Vasco de Gama obtain 3rd Place ! Special THANKS to my teammates Moctar and Hussam. I’ll remember VASCO DE GAMA forever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope that we can work together next time. ^^

                                  Vasco De Gama 3rd Place !!!!

Testimony (LIFE): Geography-Uiz Pathway

Geography is my favourite pastime subjects. Reading maps is not many peoples’ interest considering you have to study stuff outside your textbook. Malaysian Education has changed Malaysian into “study what you learn in textbook” scenario. So, it is definitely arduous to study things by your own, but most importantly, as you have an inner drive to do what you like, I believe there are much more to achieve in that field of interest.

I came into this competition with a last minute, after forming a group, few days before the competition. It has been a while since I meet an equally par geography master – Moctar Abdellahi Bebaha ! Well, according to him, Malaysians are weak in geography. Well, he’s right. The education ministry insinuates only geography about Malaysia in the textbook. That’s why Malaysians who adores countries like France, Spain, etc, doesn’t even know where those countries are.  

I am grateful that until now, I have the inner drive to study the things I like, regardless it’s a trash in PMR, SPM or the things people look down upon. Because I know one day my skills can be put into good use and recognized by people who share the same interest as me.

Moctar and I had a duel on geography. While I shot arrow at him, he fought back with bullets. We're equally good. Nevertheless, I prove him wrong that people from Sarawak can't be good in geography !! Haha…take that my friend ! with Hussam, from Sudan, a debater and a friend of mine. We form Vasco de Gama J !!!!

We take on Geography-Uiz quiz at July 16, 8pm. With so many teams and some seems so strong, I was intimidated for a moment. Before the competition, I had a brief duel in geography with Hussam before the competition started. Out of 32 teams, we broke as 7^th in the first round (top 20 is going to semi finals).  It’s not bad but we have to do better since the top 5 are going to finals. In the semi finals, I vouched to perform better. It’s was a tense moment but I have 100% certainty of the answer I have. The landmarks like Macchu Picchu, Volga River, etc. The rabbit disease in Australia was a piece of cake. When the results were going to be announced, my heart was pounding so heart. I’ve never experienced that before in my life. That kind of adrenalin was too much for me to handle. Even before when I’m receiving my results or obtaining scholarship, I’ve never experience that level of apprehensiveness. When the MC says the first team to break into the finals, I heard VASCO DE GAMA. I was thrilled, we jumped up at were overjoyed. We’ve never expect to hear that. I was so grateful that I made it. After years of hard work and I finally get a recognition. Entering finals itself is a pride for me. Winning is another issue. I felt grateful that I’ve found such great teammates, my mum dad and sis and thanks to my friends Kelvin, Daphne, Charles, San san, Kevin and etc who given me support ^^      

Finally, the final on Sunday night, I hope we can do our best and make it a night we’ll never forget !!!

Testimony (EDUCATION): Amusing E.system

OMG..............How humiliating.....tsk tsk......

"     I am sorry to say this, but I think the teachers at my brother’s school are incompetent.

When reading his Year Two Science exam paper, it is baffling how a question — prepared by a Science teacher, checked by the Science panel, and verified by the school’s senior assistant — could still read as follows:

Study the pictures (animal pictures). Fill in the blanks.

A. A bird can...

B. A monkey can...

C. A snake can...

D. A frog can...

The answers that were given: jumping, gliding, climbing and fliying.

Yes, fliying.

As if the grammar mistake isn’t bad enough, they had to have a spelling mistake as well. Three teachers involved, and “a monkey can climbing”?

Another question features a picture of nine different foods, namely fish, a slice of meat, a papaya, a glass of milk, a slice of watermelon, some cabbage, a bowl of rice, some noodles and a slice of bread.

The question asks the students to group the foods into three categories, namely foods that “help us grow”, “help us stay healthy”, and “gives us energy”.

Honestly, all the foods listed above fit into all three categories, albeit to varying degrees. I am not satisfied with this question — it’s not specific or clear cut.

On another question, there was a picture of a cat eating a fish. Pupils had to complete the sentence “A cat eats...” with the following choices:

A. fish

B. fish and rice

My brother answered fish, and was marked wrong.

Yes, some pet cats would eat rice provided the fish is there, but generally a cat would choose “A” over “B”. And there was not a single grain of rice in the picture.

Testimony (ENTERTAINMENT+LIFE): Part 2: Lyrics for Raise Your Glass

Right right, turn off the lights,
we're gonna lose our minds tonight,

I love when it's all too much,

Call me up if you want gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong,
in all the right ways,
all my underdogs,
we will never be never be anything but loud
and nitty gritty dirty little freaks
won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
just come on and come on and raise your glass

Slam slam, oh hot damn
what part of party don't you understand,
wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)
can't stop, coming in hot, 
I should be locked up right on the spot
it's so on right now (so fuckin on right now)

Party Crasher,
Penny Snatcher,
Call me up if you want gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong,
