politics

it was a fully packed day. continuous classes with no break at all.speechless!! what can i said? as usual, what a day!.............pointless for me to express the miserable of the days, Monday and Wednesday particularly.simply because these days have to come in the coming days, so pointless!
by the way, it is all about the surviving skill you had.especially in my university.in order to survive here, be strong is the 1st requirement. not talking about studies but the adaptation to the atmosphere here. But not this time, maybe i will post something about the surviving skill of mine in my university.
in this post i rather share with you a little matter that occurred this morning in my class. as you can see at the title, 'politics'. yes, the politics matter in my class. the politics referred is nothing to do with the national or international level but a class's politic.frankly speaking, politics stuff are not my cup of tea. and i dislike it the most. but it just happened today.
let me tell you briefly about the background of my class. a class of 63 students, formed by two huge races, the Indian 70% and the Chinese 30%. yup, all are medical students,13th batch MBBS student. all of them had a same dream, to be a doctor.i think that's all about them.unfortunately, the unity of us still cannot be seen after 2 months of interaction. Among 63 students, more than 10 gangs can be found in 1 class. we have been sub divided by the differences of interest, chatting topics, gender,culture,religion,backgrounds and last but not least, the races. sad to say that, but it is the fact of the truth.
so, i put all these as a politic business. the class as a nation. the class rap and those who are lending him their hands are the cabinet members. and, the gangs are the supportive party or can be the opposition party. so, it is a politic issue we are talking about.let us see how does the 'government' ruled the 'nation.'...........
today, the 'Parliament meeting' is held, as usual the the cabinet members of the government rose lots of matter which we had faced for past 2 months and figure out the problem and try to encounter them. so ,

1st issue

  • by the 'finance minister', "the 'nation' is in 'economy crisis', and action needs to be taken immediately."
  • strongly oppose by the 'opposition party' but failed to create an issue for the 'government'
  • solution: 'high taxes' paid by the 'people'

2nd issue

  • by the 'ambassador', "bad 'diplomatic relationship' with other 'nation', restore the image of our 'nation' in them"
  • zero feedback

3rd issue

  • by the 'prime minister',"'political parties' are suffered under internal struggle and 'people' of nation had bad attitudes and needed to be corrected."
  • opposed strongly by the 'opposition' and the 'supportive parties' and agreement still cannot be made after 'meeting'
  • issue will be carried on in the next 'meeting'
  • 'opposition party member' warned the 'prime minister '"think twice before you speak, mind your language"

other issues

  • 'working hours' prolonged
  • politeness need to be practiced often
  • etc.

see, only for two months, dozen of problems occurred. so, surviving skill is very significant. as Dr. Rajesh, my microbiology lecturer, said, "all things caused effect,and the effect caused side effect. if they didn't, they will be nothing." personally, i think it has the point there. so, i just hope that this 'politic' matter can be solved by next year. and this 'nation' will stay in peace for next 5 years.so, my massage is, 13th batch, let us grow. together we grow under 1 roof, we grow in 1 sound and view, we grow to reach our goal. and, together we grow as ONE.tq.

lost and found

it was a hectic day, crossing two states in a couple of hours.why? what? how come?.....please don't ask me that again. by the way, things are so unpredictable. you will never know what is up next. yup, it just happened to me recently. yet, still being doubtful of it, is it a dream or a truth?wondering...........
lost and found....a simple phrase, but it has significance meaning in it self. a person will never learn to appreciate something till he lost it.haha.....what i mean is in general or maybe everything.do you agree? think! do you ever lost anything that makes you so wish to gain it back? if you did, congratulation! at least you still have the sense with you. undeniable we, human beings had lost uncountable things as time passing. sometime we gain it back, sometimes we don't and just let it be as it was.
a very good example of lost and found is happiness.
yes! H-A-P-P-I-N-E-S-S. every single human beings love happiness. i can bet with it. for who in this world love sorrow or suffering? the answer is just simply NO. No one on earth wants to suffer instead of full filling their lives with joy and happiness. do you ever heard people are complaining their life because they live happily? or, do you ever heard the refugees said that they were enjoying during the exile?
allow me to bring you the 'things' that the refugees had lost during their exile-happiness
they understand the definition of suffer more than we do. their crying are far more than the laughter of us. tears of fear, pain, sorrow and suffer of the people in Sudan is just like the free flow river . they are living in darkness and struggling for light. hence, they had simply lost the meaning of happiness in their lives. for 21 years, the nation of Sudan had never come in peace. non stop civil wars had caused the people to undergo exile, they are homeless, the refugees. besides that, the Sudanese were left in dying days, starvation, torturing and etc.what is in their mind is just present,nothing more than that, nor past neither future. their fate is unknown. they won't know what, where, how they will be after today. they just left the nation with heavy hearts and moving forward to the nearby refugee camp of UN. all they can do is keep moving, moving and moving, no turning back....they are the LOST BOY.since then, they had lost entirely the meaning of happiness.......................... how far they should go? nop, answer is not provided. the command given is keep following or being left behind or killed. therefore, the refugees of Sudan had no choice but keep moving in order for them to see tomorrow's sun.
see! the smile on their faces.are they the smile of glory? yes, maybe for them. but, it also reflected how many innocent souls they had taken.bloody smiles.......

the SPLA fighters of Sudan. job for them is aim and shoot. target:the enemies, rebellion or even their own people.

the scene in the refugee camp of Kakuma, Kenya.

crying for food..........

can i take it????pls..............

how far have they gone through? how many lives had lost in this tragic? how many blood had flown in this piece of land?.....yet, these people are still hoping for the peace to return to their nation. this is simply their hope and dream........so, the point to ponder. will their dream become their goal?

lend them a hand and things can be changed, the ending will be different from what you have seen in Sudan. so, take the 1st step to make a difference. yes, see the smiling face of these Lost Boy. once they were lost, and now they are found, along with their long lost friend, the happiness.
however, many still are suffering out there in Sudan and the refugee camps....they are still lost in the mist of terror...........will all these tragic come to an end one day? if yes,when will it be?......................unknown...........

mama


In a sudden, the feelings of mine become so emo, dull, moody……… and this causes me to keep wondering why it acts in such a way. The feelings just like a glass of cocktail, everything seems to be mixed together but I got an uneven mixture…… went up and down drastically in my brain. Wow, can’t stand it anymore. Then in the mist of this chaotic, I happened to be awake by a snap. And finally, I had identified what is the cause of all of those miserable feelings.
It is all about the reminding facts from the talk session I had with Shaun last night. It was a long and meaningful sharing with this friend of mine which we never had in past a year. Really appreciate that moment. And, through that sharing I just realized how far and how long I have been in this changing world. Although it is just 19 years, and it has been the first unforgettable 19 years of mine. All these years become dramatically fleshing back into my mind. Every single of scenes turns crystal clear back to my memory. It too, compacts every hard work I have done in order be I of today. However, it also reflects to me the journey will be in the future.
Consequently, an image come so clearly and took the lead of all to flow into my mind. Pause! It is the image of my mom. I can see all the images of her swiveling around my mind. And, its have shown an indescribable feeling towards me and all I can do is just mumbling without any word from my lip. What is that damn strong power resulting me to act so?
Refreshing! It is the love from a mother, or the mother love. This unshaven love had accompanied me for 19 years. Yet, sometimes I over look this love and never appreciate it. Maybe due to her position as a teacher who has many principles to follow, so I used to become rebellion towards her in order to escape from her surveillance. (In silence). I still remembered the time she caned me with her rotan and the sound of the caning still can be heard sharply. I was so angry and hatred towards the situation. And always asked myself, why she always put me into that kind of situation? Why my friends’ mom didn’t do anything bad towards their children? Why my mom needs to act like that? Why is she so different?.......and hundreds of ‘why’ had been asked during that time. Until once, I had disappointed my mom so deeply, and I happened to know how to answer back the entire ‘why’ questions I used to ask. (In dullness). At that moment, my ambition had broken down into pieces, just like a breaking glass. And only at that time I come to know the whole meaning of a proverb of Chinese which says beating is loving and scolding is caring. It simply means that, when our parents use physical punishment (beating) and mental punishment (scolding) logically is to care and love us more, not they want us to suffer from them.
I become so shameful towards my parents. I have owed them. And, out of a sudden I understand all these while why my mom was so strict towards me which I never take into account. Recapping! I still remembered the disappointed looking face and the speechless moment of my mom, and how displease she was in that time. But, what is done cannot be undone; this is what she had told me after that incident. She didn’t scold me for that and in my surprise was, she comforted me instead wanted me to do well in the future. Then, don’t know why my cheek suddenly got moisture, uncontrollable tear drops had moistened my face. I cried.
From then, I keep a promise to my self which states that I shall not repeat that incident again in my coming days. And now, I still keep it and forever, i will.
Mom, if you happened to see this page. I would like to say sorry for the past and also thank you for everything I had today. And last but not least, I love you, mom, before, now and forever. God bless you.
Besides that, I would like to dedicate this song to my mom and all the mothers in this world, ‘Mama’ by Il Divo.



"Mama"


[Verse 1]

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times I forgot


[Verse 2]
Mama remember all my life
You showed me love,You sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed along the way


[Bridge]

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where
I am because of your truth I miss you, I miss you


[Verse 3]

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong
Dry your eyes
[Bridge]


[Verse 4]

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed
Along the way
And I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you, Mama

the Levites 2007

It is all about serving God, who arts in heaven and sent His only beloved Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sin. Through the salvation of Christ, we are saved.
For the scripture said:
“Salvation is found in no one else,for the there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
In the Jewish tradition, a Levite is a member of the Hebrew tribe of Levi. The Tribe of Levi served particular religious duties for the Israelites and had political responsibilities as well. In return, the landed tribes were expected to give tithe to the Levites.
The Levites that I meant in this post is nothing to do with the Hebrew but the organization that served God. Levites is a Christian-based band formed by the students of AIMST as a body to serve Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Savior. The band was formed in the month of March of 2006. Most of the members of Levites are from different batches of students of AIMST, they are the Foundation Studies students, Applied Science students, Dentistry students and Medical students. The first concert of Levites was held in Bandar Laguna Merbok Club House, Sungai Petani, Kedah Darul Aman. The mission that the Levites hold is to ‘band’ around Malaysia to serve Jesus Christ and spread the Gospel around Malaysia. The places that the Levites had visited are Bukit Mertajam, Setiawan, Teluk Intan and so on.
This October, the Levites had once again come back to this town as where it started it’s fundamental to ‘band’ along with Jesus Christ. The theme for this time is ‘Point of Break Through’. Here are the scenes presented by the Levites 2007.1..2..3..Action!

the intro......dancing queens!

the choir team

the lead singers........."at the cross i bow my knee.........."

the scathe............'with God, i can do it'

the sharing moment with Ps. John Kirby......'the love from God'

the peak...'one way'


yup...we were there....Shaun, Kenneth and I..........as camera men......



mission acccomplished.............yeah!.................see you, Levites in the coming days............

well done!

well.well.......... em that's all from me about Levites. Just hope that one day i will be with them.


God bless you all and may peace be with you always.Amen!
