Hari Kemerdekaan ke-48

Dari semangat patriotik hati saya,

Pada malam yang gemilang ini, diperkatakan malam ini adalah malam kemerdekaan. Dengan detik-detik saat yang menunjukkan jam ingin menemukan kita pada hari yang mulia ini.
48 tahun yang lalu, negara kita telah dijajah oleh pihak-pihak yang inginkan kekayaan yang ada dalam negara kita. Malangnya, sekarang, pemuda-pemudi kita pula tidak tahu bagaimana pentingnya sumber-sumber yang telah diberi oleh Tuhan kepada kita. Mereka selalu membazir sumber-sumber terpenting seperti air dan elektrik. Walaupun dengan teknologi tinggi yang membolehkan kita menjana kuasa elektrik kita sendiri, tetapi itu masih tidak mencukupi untuk kegunaan semua rakyat Malaysia, terutamanya Projek Takungan Air Bakun di Sarawak yang telah dibatalkan. Dengan itu, kita masih mengharapkan bahan-bahan bakar untuk memberikan kuasa elektrik. Tetapi kebanyakkan bahan-bahan bakar kita adalah terhad!

Sampai bila kita masih boleh bertahan dengan menggunakan sumber-sumber semulajadi yang asli? Mengikut kajian yang terbaru, ahli sains kita menjangka bahawa mungkin 10 tahun kemudian, sumber petroleum asli kita juga akan habis; 25 tahun kemudian, sumber kayu balak & kayu arang kita juga akan habis.

Kebanyakan budak-budak zaman sekarang telah dapat mengolah ilmu daripada menara gading dengan keputusan yang cemerlang. Ini menunjukkan bahawa tibalah masanya untuk pemuda-pemudi ini mencungkil bakat saintifik yang ada pada mereka untuk menghasilkan sesuatu cara alternatif untuk membantu menyelamatkan sumber asli yang ada didalam negara ini.

Dengan tanpa membuang masa lagi, saya ingin terus mengucapkan "Selamat Hari Merdeka yang ke-48"!

Cara alternatif untuk mengekspresikan semangat patriotik:
1) Menghasilkan website.
Halaman website dari SMK Tinggi Kajang, boleh tahan juga untuk tahap sekolah menengah. Tingkatkan usaha anda lagi! Muahahaha... ;-)

Monday to Sunday...

3 Fine Songs with YiDa

One fine day, one of my housemate pop into my room and asked me to listen to a song he shared from his pc.
One fine month... and a few more days later, my that particular housemate asked whether do we (me and sweet, of course, muahahaha...) wants to go to the singer's mini concert. "How much?" I asked. "Aiyah, just 1 dollar," he replied. "ok," I said.

So, on that fine Sunday of the planned concert day, we went to one fine room called CLCR 0002 (A2).
Time's up, so one fine man took hold of the mic and controlled the members on the floor who was getting quite fine anxious; and introduced two fine singers to shut us up, by saying their have one fine same sifu as YiDa.

And also, one fine person with the name Neoh, just walked in 'pompously' from the front stage up to the audience area; heads high up, hands on camera. Just like one fine professional photographer.
Three fine person waved up to him and called him over.
Then, one fine man, with fine hairy hair that needs to be sent to one fine barber, came up to the fine stage, and presented 3 fine songs, while throwing about 10 fine posters.
This fine man is a fine singer called YiDa.

We can't get any fine pictures of him because we aren't suppose to use flash, which makes me so finely unsatisfied. It's compareable when the fine DannyOne came to our fine campus one fine year for his fine performance. I still kept that fine picture. In any fine way, I don't have any fine pictures with YiDa, fine sigh...

Up-Close-And-Personal with Danny One ;-)

*sleepy..* Oh, my bratty sisters are going to be so darn finely jealous~!

P/S:

1) Rule of Game: Count how many 'fine' words available in this post... while I sleep for a moment.

2) I'm just darn bullshitting~

Damien, the Trickster

Flashback from last week:

• 1 August 2005

After a tiring 2 days in the south of Johore, up north i went back to Penang with KhaySoon and his friend, Timothy. KhaySoon's the driver; Timothy's the co-driver; well, me, I'm the sleeper! Wahahaha... Anyway, we started our journey back to Penang at around 8.15am and reach Juru about 2.00pm. It's so coincident that the 3 of us do not have the key to our houses. What a bummer~! KhaySoon left his keys in Malacca, Tim's keys was with his neighbour, mine was at home. We're all locked out. Since it was this way, we had our lunch in Secret Recipe in Autocity, while waiting for my dad to pass me my house keys.

Reached home around 3.00pm and i was about to take a nap from a tiring journey and after a comfortable shower. My head was on my comfortable pillow and i'm just a tiny-miny-moe from approaching the R.E.M. for sweet dreams. THAT's when my phone rang.

ME : (blurringly) heelloooo.....
CALLER : Is this Ms. Tan?
ME : Yess... This is me.
CALLER : Ms. Tan, I'm calling from Jobstreet and I've got a job for you. Would you like to come to our company for an interview somewhere around this week?
ME : *rub my eyes a little. sat up on my bed* Huh? What? A job?!
CALLER : Yes. A job that you've requested from Jobstreet which suits your qualification.
ME : *I suddenly thought of my industrial training applications that my faculty requires me to find* Okok… But can I know the name of the company?
CALLER : Oh, I’m sorry Miss. We can’t reveal the company’s name yet.
ME : Then you can at least tell me what the company deals with. What type of job that you are offering? What is the job description?
CALLER : It deals a lot with properties.
ME : I see. I’m in such a blur case right now, would you mind giving me your company’s contact number? I will call back later to make an appointment with your company. *I’m so darn ‘tiau geh’ (tarik harga in malay.)
CALLER : Sure. No problem. 5******
ME : Hold on, let me get a piece of paper...*stood up and fiddled on my table to find a blank spot on a paper... scribble scribble... hmm… this number looks familiar* And who should I refer to when I called this number?
CALLER : Oh, you can look for Damie-
ME : DAMIEN LEONG~!!! How dare you trick me??!!!
DAMIEN : Hahahahahahaha….Hahhahaha…
ME : Oooo.. Now u can laugh syok syok adee lar… How dare you…you…
DAMIEN : Hahahaha…Hahahahahahaha….
ME : Damien, you... trickster.. you... you... %£*&$!~#!£$@¬#!!!

Damien laughed on the phone for quite some time before he gave his breath up for some serious talk. Pah~!
It turns out that this fella was in Belleview BM office with Elaine, and coincidently Julie was on leave. Both of them were quite bored and the trick was planned. And I was too sleepy to realise it in the first place. Drats~ Anyway, I brush myself up, got ready and drove to Belleview to visit them.. and to reduce their boredom.

P/S: Damien, thanks for the elephant chopstick from Bangkok. By the way, please please don't pinch your nose when talking on the phone. You really sound like a gurl~ Muahahaha... *revenge accomplished* =)

Pulau Kukup... NOT an island; but yet a 'pulau'

Flashback from last week:

• 30th July 2005

A bunch of us went to Pulau Kukup, Pontian, Johor, for a midterm break trip. The accomodation was quite cheap, considering a Rm70 for a place to stay for one night including teatime, dinner, breakfast, lunch, and of course, the splendid view. =) The 18 of us started our journey at around 8.30am in the morning sardined in 4 cars and reached there about 12.30pm. My first impression on the place was, 'Damn, this place is so village-y. It's so darn quiet. I bet the village's gonna be dead when the clock struck 10 at night. They don't even have cars moving around the little village, the only vehicle for them is just the good ol' bicycle, and if you're rich enough, you can get yourself a motorcycle! (well, might be they parked outside their village, looking at the conditions of their houses).' Oh.. oh.. did i describe about their houses? It a 4-bricked wall, built on a few sticks of concretes for support, with a wooden floor. To make it look glamourer, they have a private mini-jetty! How cute~ But a word of caution, never ever look down at the bottom of the concrete sticks! You'll go 'yerr..', 'yucks!', and 'EEEEUUUGGHHHHWWW~~~~!'. It's an "ABC" down there, especially when low-tide strikes. Imagine, dirty-muddy-greyish-brownish sea mud + disposed-maggoted-rubbish-covered-in-seaweed + cracked-plastics (i hope it's bio-degrable) + mudfishes-with-flippers-and-cutie-crabbie-covered-in-shit + homosapiens'-shit-plus-the-loo = create a word for it, wise guy. *eyes rolling*

Frankly, i got bored pretty fast. The rest had their hands on the mahjong table and the karaoke set, so i stuck myself with Josh, Neoh, & Neoh's housemate, SengKuang, i think i got his name right. (Kor, correct me if i'm wrong).I'm not a gambler (i don't gamble at all), nor a singer. I'm only a professional bathroom singer, excuse me. *blink blink* Anyway, we found ourselves at the mini-jetty and enjoyed the cool breezed washing over my face. It was cool! No, really, cool as in cold-cool. As time passes by, as my tummy is making some eccentric noises that i hope sweet doesn't notice, i was "tired." and the 4 of us just went into the room, planning to take a nap. Of course, plan don't just goes well as planned. Dear 'friends' walked with elephant legs around the house-on-sea-water-separated-with-a-wooden-planks, and they too, sung a pitched-cracked karaoke with maximum bass! Darn, darn, darn!!! Poor AhKor couldn't stand them and grab a blanket, a pillow, and his 'Da vinci Code', out to the jetty. I think he did get some peace over there. Or at least, more peaceful than us. We couldn't stand them too. SengKuang went to join Neoh, while me and sweet went out of the house, seeking for a more peaceful place to snap around.

Teatime was so-so. I mean, i couldn't expect much from my 70 bucks, rite, but dinner sucks~!!! I really can CURSE those aunties & uncles staying next door for STEALING our food!!! I repeat, THEY STEAL our FOOD!! After dinner, since nobody's hanging around the karaoke set, i was glad. Stood there, saw a piece of VCD titled 'House of Wax', and i was like, cool! At last, there's some movie that i haven't watch before which is so not outdated yet. I grab it like a piece of gold, put it on the vcd player. This is so my time! Muahahaha... Not forgetting my sweet, i got hold of him and made him sit in front of the movie with me. Muahahahaha... gosh, i'm soooo wicked *winkzzz*

• 31st July 2005

My room's door exploded with a bang at 5.30am DAWN!! Okie, i'm just kidding, i shouldn't exagerated it with a 'bang'. But it's still the same, 5.30am man! I still need my beauty sleep! They said to wake up early to see the sunrise, but heck, there is NO SUNRISE AT DAWN! I slept back and told AhKor to wake me up again half an hour later. At 6.30am, me & sweet went to the temple, the highest building in the village, to meet Neoh and SengKuang & to get the best view of the sunrise. The view was... disappointing~ After our breakfast, i continued my beauty sleep. Ahhh... heaven... Hours later, we packed and left the village by noon, went to the reserve mangrove forest and the 'kelong' by boat. The reserve forest was very informative, great for secondary school students studying their Form 2 science, too bad i'm waaaay out of Form 2, muahahaha~! The 'kelong' was cute. Yeah, cute. 'Kelong' is actually a Malay word with no English equivalent; “remote fishing outpost” is the closest description. Resembling a kampung house on stilts, the wooden structure houses at its heart nets that are lowered to the seabed and raised several times a night and in the early morning; at night, a lamp is hung out with the nets to attract sea life. The man in the 'kelong' showed us those fishies, including a blowfish, a baby shark (no kidding), king crab, cutie turtle, etc. Finally, left Pulau Kukup in the evening after buying some final 'munchies'/souvenirs.

Oh-so-cute-mini-jetty

Sunset in Kukup-tis is an amazing view =)
