Anything is Possible

from Malaysia Chronicle.com

The Education Ministry had endorsed “guidelines” to help parents to identify gay and lesbian “symptoms” in their children so they can take early corrective measurements.
The guidelines list four symptoms each of gays and lesbians:
Symptoms of gays:
Have a muscular body and like to show their body by wearing V-neck and sleeveless clothes;
Prefer tight and light-coloured clothes;
Attracted to men; and Like to bring big handbags, similar to those used by women, when hanging out.
Symptoms of lesbians:
Attracted to women;
Besides their female companions, they will distance themselves from other women;
Like to hang out, have meals and sleep in the company of women; and
Have no affection for men.
“Once the children have these symptoms, immediate attention should be given,” the guidelines warn.

Seminars
According to Sin Chew Daily, the guidelines published by Yayasan Guru Malaysia Bhd and Putrajaya Consultative Council of Parents and Teachers Associations, and endorsed by the Education Ministry, were launched during a seminar in Penang yesterday.
The seminar on “Parenting in addressing the issue of LGBTs (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders)” was organised by Yayasan Guru Malaysia Bhd and officiated by Deputy Education Minister Mohd Puad Zarkashi (right).
Penang is the fourth state to hold such a seminar, after Selangor, the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Perak, and yesterday’s seminar in Penang was the 10th in the country.
Puad is quoted by Sinar Harian today as saying that the exposure of symptoms of gays and lesbians was the best approach to address the spread of such unhealthy phenomenon among students.
“Youths are easily influenced by websites and blogs relating to LGBT groups. This can also spread among their friends. We are worried that this happens during schooling time,” Puad told some 1,500 teachers and parents.
The guidelines were distributed to all those who attended the seminar.
In an immediate response, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin sent out this tweet message: “I wear fitted, v-neck t-shirts. I’m okay.”

Relationship with God

It is hard to believe that you have God in your life, life would be a big change. I cant believe that i'm saying this but one month ago, i was a totally different person. Life changes everyday as human keep improving, I absorb new methods and implement it in my life. I made a promise to God and i never regret it so far. I felt glad actually i have this opportunity. For every challenges i faced, i have God walking side by side with me. All the pain, suffer, agony and stress was worth it. Because of them, i seek answer to solve them that lead me to God.

One month ago, I held strongly to my principle which was the absolute of my life. I believe my self integrity was my reliable method but it failed me. There comes a time when a greater challenge posed in front of you and you felt as weak and feeble as never before. The answer is faith in God, I trust Him though i never see Him. I learned to express my thoughts through writing, in hopes to remind myself all the times and serves as a motivation to others. This is what God wants me to do in some mysterious way. My life improve with the posts in my blog. You would not find me expressing these thoughts from my past articles.This is a big change.

Relationship with God requires time. You dont expect that by believing in God, problems would be miraculously disappear or you would have good luck all the time. Life is not an easy sail. Pain, tears, sweat, suffer are indispensable elements in our life. By believing in God one should think in such a way that with God by your side, you gain confidence and power to improve yourself daily in hope with countering those difficulties in life. People always believe that their voice to God was not heard, their effort was not rewarded by God and their prayers were futile. I never felt that way because by believing in God, i get to improve my relationship with God and my spiritual life, emotional quotient. Having God by your side in every actions, give you the initiative to reflect yourself and  be a better person day by day. You will not see the results immediately. However, you must believe in God that every test set by God mould you into someone who will excel in life. That's the reward.

Source of Strength in Life

I would say most of my coursemate survive an entire semester based on 100% cheat and fraud on every test, quiz, etc. By the time exam period is over, they would say they want to release their huge stress load despite not making a good effort i would say. Even if, they do study, they would still be stressful. But in end, how much have they learn through the stressful study remains a question mark.

People easily resort to cheating whenever they face difficulties. They are either a coward or being kiasu. Some people who never put in effort and accept their destiny, I have much more respect for this kind of person. I believe in what you get in proportional in what you put in. People who view in different perspective may disagree.

Even if they have time to prepare themselves for the difficulties, they would still not put in a better effort because they know they can cheat. There is always a shortcut they can take. Even if you claim that you put in enough effort and didnt not get the intended result, you should put in more effort. This is the way of improving. Human face steep learning curve every day in my opinion. To reach a state to be completely unfazed and resist the devil that taunted you to cheat requires high mental strength, self confidence and the power of faith. How much stress, tension, pressure, agony, setbacks faced are beyond words to describe. Despite all these difficulties, one should not stop himself from trying hard. I faced a situation where everyone circling me are happy with cheating and i persist in integrity because i made a promise to God. I always set knowledge and integrity as a priority and results are just decoration that is useful for one small  occasion. No one really care about how much you score in future career. It boils down to what your knowledge can help. My friend prove me that and i always look up to him. I faced countless disappointment in life and i accept it and also improve myself daily to prevent that from happening. To be successful, you have to learn to accept failure and i managed to accept failure. Integrity in my frontline and when i have a difficult question that i cant answer, i would choose accept it despite people are being happy to cheat. I believe success is just one step ahead of me.

In the past, i seek for inner principle set in my life to help myself to get through all the troubles. I always have a voice in me that tells me what is bad and not to do it despite the temptation. I live a life with principles. It is not until i face uphill challenge that i know that this kind of strength in me wouldnt take me far. I have a breakdown and my productivity decreases. It was the hardest challenge in my life that challenge both my physical condition, mental strength and emotional burst. It was 12 August 2012. Never i have ever in my life felt so weak and powerless. I started hyperventilation and met someone while passed out. It was a man with a white robe and he hug me. I never get to see his face and I saw a dead flower bloomed in front of me. I made a promise with him that i will have Him beside of me in every action i have. I think i finally found a new strength that i can tap in for my life. However, every new method takes time to practise and i would persevere.

How to learn to learn

Writing blog is a drag whenever you have tons of things you wish to convey but you seem can’t put them to words. To able to create something which pure genuinity is impossible for human. It is because human learn by passively absorb multiple things and integrate it piece by piece from all the sources they possess. We mimic what we see, hear and feel and innovate it subconsciously in several aspects to create what we regard as creative.

To spark creativity, human must have either their self desire or when they stumble across roadblocks in their life. That’s the element for solution in our life, depending what we feel which problems is, for us or what not. If you’re contented with what you have and treat the entire problem as your companion, then the urge for creativity ceases.  Contrary, some may happen to have high desire and their creativity becomes a deadly shortcut that disregard the process taken to obtain what they wanted. However, it is imperative to see that creativity is just a subset of learning. Ethics, self belief, initiative and so on are too important.

One of my lecturers from Britain shares his contrast view between the learning process in the United States and the learning process where I was form. He was teaching in my country for quite some time and he travels extensively to many places. In his opinion, the endpoint of the numbers on the paper justifies learning as a success in my country. People strived for that all the time. It has become a norm passed from the older generation and they think they’re on par with others but in fact they’re disillusioned. In the States, the success in learning is to stumble across as many problems as possible. This is to ensure people will solve that problems and learn more. The bigger hole you find in a developed piece of land, the greater chance if you fixed that hole, is that people can benefit that big piece of area for many purposes, the greater contribution you give to the community. He gave me an important piece of advice after I managed to engage in an extraordinary conversation. He advised me to keep up to what I am doing so that In future, when I do learn enough money, I can visit to different places. That dream itself would be a good incentive to me for what I am doing. For me, it would be a long term benefits that I would try to foresee though my work doesn’t paid off in this down slopping educational life. I just need to believe in myself strongly.

Grace of God - Clay Aiken

Clay Aiken never ceased to amazed me with his phenomenal voice and passion he has in his songs as well in his life. It requires real appreciation and inner empathy to really know what Clay wants to portray in his celebrity image and what he has done for the community under his National Inclusion Project and Unicef Ambassador. All of his songs are mirrors to what real qualities that Clay embodied. I'm the among Claymates who understand, embrace and appreciate Clay's effort.

                               
                                           

Grace of God from On My Way Here is a clear testament.

                                                                 

The Lyrics speaks clear to the message...

Some folks always get the rough ride
Seem they end up on the wrong side
Constant battle just to survive on any given day

I watched a mother on my TV
Hungry children that she can't feed
Still I've got everything that I need
And that just don't seem right
That I sleep safe tonight

There's got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I

Everyday it makes the headlines

Someone struggling for their lives

Feels like I'm watching from the sidelines

When nothing ever changed

Just the truth got rearranged

There's got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I

Sometimes it's hard to believe
In a truth that you can't even see
But faith holds the hope for the world
And I know, I know

There's got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes
If I could find some way that we could justify all of this suffering
There but for the grace of God go I

When I'm thinking it's a bad day
Feels like nothing's going my way
I pass a wreck out on the freeway
And I pray that they survived
There but for the grace of God go I

Watch IT

Severe Attention Seekers

There are those people who I deemed as “sociopath”. People have different ways of leading their life and to some extend I deemed some to have mind-linkage-action distortion. Some people crave for dire attention in their life. They would sweet talk to people in hopes that he would gain people’s trust and attention. They do not wish to be alone and to them, people around them are just like a pillow, discarded once used or replaced. These are the people I despised of, tremendously, extravangantly. In hopes for being a “superstar” and have their heads held high, thinking that people would be starstruckked and be in awe watching them, those people are pathetic because other than the cheap skills to gain people trust, people will soon realized their true nature and future doesn’t seem to look good for them…

So.. the best point of identifying those people are rather easy.

Egocentrism -Those people have high regards of what they think they are in best. Then, they would brag and exaggerate of their pros in front of people. Stay close to people around him and develop a status around the circle. They have high social skills, able to blend in instinctively. Conversely, It can be said as a persistent self indulgence manipulative behavior for their own benefits. They would to what it takes regardless of integrity or moral conscience to achieve that.

Speech – have high charisma but contents trails of “want to impress” and lacks details pertaining to the subject matters.

Sensitivity – dislike and to even high extend of despise or hate people who doesn’t not fit it to his criteria as “friends”. Low tolerance to people with opposite attitude, people who critics his “good point”

Appearance – make up to draw attention to self. Self indulgence/love. Have pride of own personality and unwillingness to change.

Stability - Influenced easily when drawn an unfamiliar situation
