A trip to Tanjong Malim...for convocation

This Monday which was the 20th August 2007, I went to Tanjong Malim for my mom's convocation...yes my MOM....you did not read it wrongly...my mom has graduated from the Masters' programme.....I think that's what it is called....Masters in English Language Education...she's a English teacher.....the trip there was bloody boring and FYI there is nothing in Tanjong Malim...besides the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris...my mom's uni and Proton City (where Proton cars are made) there is nothing in the town....really quiet town unlike Penang with big malls and bustling with activities and people.....there it's kind of more quiet and well since it is so near to the highway...lot's of big jumbo size lorries passing by so if there is noise then tha's vehicles only........I spend a night there in one of the hotels...it's called Hotel Bunga Raya...I couldn't sleep.....it was so near the roads and the vehicles passing by were so so noisy I can't stand it....We stayed there a night and the next morning is my mom's convo....

My dad and I....(only us both...my brother couldn't make it) bought my mom a bouquet of roses with a real cute teddy bear with a graduation hat.....but it was bloody expensive, it cost RM 50 and it was only 6 roses you know....but the flowers were really beautiful...I couldn't resist...who knew flowers were so so lovely...the roses, sunflowers and lilies...gosh they were beautiful...and there's the cute teddy bears...so adorable...I even took a pic of a cute little girl wearing a graduation hat...hehe...then there's this incident...I think it was kind of ridiculous. I was going to enter the hall where my mom's convo is held and I was stopped by the person in charge of letting us the friends and families of the graduates in......it is really idiotic of her, she actually don't alloy me to get in...you know why...because she thinks my skirt was too short and in her term "impolite"...bloody ****.....my skirt was knee length...okay maybe an inch or two above knee length and that's impolite?? I dressed up for my mom's convo with a blouse and a skirt and she said I was dressed up impolitely....to hell with her.....then she allows me to go in and you know what she told me...she told me to sit next to the thick wall so that nobody can see I'm wearing the skirt...it's really funny how some people think...reallly...

My mom's graduation ceremony was so long...I didn't know that it could be that long....at least I get to see the Queen and Princess of Perak....they were really beautiful especially the princess. Overall the trip was a mind opening trip...it shown me how some people are so unreasonable and what a convacation is all about.....many relatives are there to see their sons or daughters graduate.....seeing people wearing those graduation hats make me think when I will have a chance to really wear it....I tried my mom's clothes though hehehe...it's kinda weird on me though hahaha......I took some pictures...I think I took pictures of practically everything I think is interesting...but right now I can't put the pic up

I also just realised the government really takes a lot of toll money....every stop at the toll is really costly......I wonder what they do with the money???.......then there's this construction on the highway...the workers work so slowly you know and they block partically half the road but don't do anything....it's so stupid and lazy of this people......and the government pays them for nothing....they spend days doing construction on these roads yet nothing is really completed yet....totally stupid....

Red Cherry

Two blogs in one day...I have gone crazy...it's just that I have so much to say....although I think no one reads my blog....just myself I think to relieve what I have kept in my mind....it's quite burdening to keep it all in....

Red cherry...it' a movie on the Nazi's and their invasion of Russia....these movie is all about two Chinese children sent to study in Russia....it wass really a lot of hardship to learn Russian language and well being invaded by Germans make things even worst....the movie was just slightly graphical...it was gruesome to see children being gunned down...there was one teenager who tried to save all his friends that he was being shelled with hundreds of bullet when the German soldiers caught him.....it was horrifying...then there was the teacher who was shot in front of her students for daring to defy the orders of the Germans by asking the children to go back into class and trying to save them.....it is nothing but the truth when we are at war...the people who suffer the most are children....starvation and homeless...the movie show the torture of war...a young girl...her name is ChuChu in the movie...she was caught by the Germans and almost was killed but she survived yet she was tattoed with the symbol of the Nazi's and had to suffer the most extreme humilation.....the tattoo was tattoed to her back and she was extremely humilated by it....her suffering was just too much she actually try to erased the tattoo by scrubbing her skin to a rough wall and even trying to burn her back with a smoldering stick.....that's what war does to you....humilation and suffering...she survived till 63 yet the tattoo was still on her back...doctors try to graft out the skin but the tattoo was too big and she suffered the hardship of war even after the war ended...extreme humilation....

I didn't experience war and I never want to.....but you have to learn from the past...war brings nothing but destruction....Malaysia suffered through war too before gaining her independence. Our country suffered much to gain independence yet nowadays no one appreciate the freedom we have instead they misuse it...abuse their rights as free independent people......I use to think that way too.....but watching Red Cherry and other war films and reading newspapers makes me realise how we mislittled the importance of independence....withou it, we can't do what we want, how to rule the country and how to live if we didn't gain independence.....that what's independence has given us yet we don't appreciate it....growing up I think I learn a lot has been sacrificed for independence....it's our 50th independence day and we definitely should try to help our country in any way we can...even if our country is not good enough...you know grass is always greener on the other side....that's what you always will think.....but when we crossed the other side we'll realise it's just the same....Learn to appreciate Malaysia...we have our faults yes...lots of them but we should learn from the mistakes and help correct them not crictised ourself for it...it's funny how we crictised but never look at ourself....Sometimes I do too....I may not appreciate independence like some who experience war in the the past but I understand how hard it was....I hope one day Malaysian really understand the true spirit of Merdeka....we are unique yet we don't understand the importance of unity among all races.....You don't crictised other races' belief and culture....respect and understand......Unity is power.....we should learn to respect people's culture as they respect yours......We are Malaysia...we make what Malaysia will be....the spirit of Merdeka is up to us.....learn the meaning of MERDEKA!!!!

Ugly side of Malaysians.....

I have got lots to say yet I don't really know how to express it in words suddenly.....first of all I went to see Rush Hour 3 on Friday...it sucks....the movie was funny but it seems that the joke are mostly old ordinary joke that I feel I had seen somewhere before already.....the plot was a bit stupid and the ending....people are left hanging just like that...come on who beats down an international triad group by killing one person....what about his lower members...won't they fight back too....that's my opinion only though...youmay think otherwise...

And recently I went, I guess crazy and decided to go and watch a singing competition in PISA( Penang International Stadium Arena) First, we had to go and get the free tickets sponsored by a few companies in Penang....Myself included and two friends, we went to collect the tickets and well the bloody line was so so long....that's where our Malaysian show extreme lack of patience and politeness.....everyone was so rude that day...pushing and screaming...even an elder man I saw was pushing and when a girl reprimanded him, he said that he wants to push and it was none of her business...what was that....and those elder people say we don't have respect for them...it's them who don't have respect for us, younger generation...but that day really show a bad side of us Malaysian...I can't say I didn't pushed too because I have to admit I did too...One thing is there was no organising from the organisation in charge of the giving of the tickets and the crowd was a huge turnout...unbelievable what Malaysian could do for FREE stuff and of course the chance to see your favourite star in action is just so tempting you have to go.....like me and my friends....

That was weeks ago....I know that's kind of a long time...but this was yesterday 11 August 2007...The singing competition I was talking about....it was actually the Astro Talent AQuest Competition...very famous chinese singing competition here in Malaysian to those who don't know....the prize of this competition is a lot of money and a chance to represent Malaysia in the International Singing competition. My mom went to the competition with me....we actually went to see the guest star appearance instead of the competitors there....but I have to tell you...organising was once again a total flop out disaster....what's this....this kind of thing wasn't suppose to happen in Malaysian....what happen to first class infrastructure, first class mentality??? No wonder people and even our Prime Minister says we have first class infrastruture but third class mentality....use some brains people...the line to go in the stadium to watch the competition was super long and crowded...as a matter of fact there wasn't any line...people were squeezing to get in a door which was open partially....not only they opened the door an hour before the thing start they open it partially and everyone was screaming that it was ridiculous to not let us in in a bigger entrance. Open a bigger bloody door for heaven's sake...That's true you know.....the entrance was so small....you can't blame people for screaming or scolding....I find myself getting impatient too to get in....someone broke a door just to go in the stadium and not even one of the guards notices...I mean we have the tickets and everything yet we went in through a illegally broken down door by some bunch of teenagers just to watch a show where the winner I wanted to win didn't even won and the guest stars I wanted to see was just a small figure to see from my so unstrategic steating which was inevitable as free seating are bound to be unstrategic when you came in late like that as guards don't let you come in fast enough. If it wasn't for my desire to watch my favourite stars in action live in front of my eyes, I wouldn't have to cram in with everyone there instead I would be at home watching it on television which was also live.....my mom, my friends and I was, I can say disgusted and partly horrified by Malaysian these days....the very ugly side of Malaysian....greedy, impatient, intolerant and extreme disrespectful...well not all of the Malaysian are like that of course but these small group of people is enough to ruin our reputation as so called "warm and welcoming people"....People wake up...you want Malaysia to give you what you want you do your part be more civilised.....You know the irony of it all that we have everything and we don't appreciate them and some people who needs them can't even have it.....After watching the movie Red Cherry ( a war film of the invasion of Germans into Russia) I find that we really do lack patrotism here in Malysia...the movie was a true story and children suffered through the war, poeple dying and the agony of losing your loved ones and young very brave heroines and heroes...and have our country really lost the true meaning of Merdeka????? I don't really know.....maybe we did forget how hard it was...
