ME

Sometimes, I am puzzled when people say, "Get Married, your life will be easier".. Easier in what sense, I ask myself. I see a lot of my friends, crying out publishing weird and mysterious status on facebook about trouble in paradise. Am I willing to let myself be weighed down by another human being who pretend to accept me for who I am but try to change me in little ways to his likings?

Another famous saying concerning marriage is "My husband likes me when I ________". Fill in the blanks. Why do you have to live your life according to rules and regulations by your significant others? I thought that people need to respect and accept each other when they are in love. But noooooo, we got to change our partner to suit our needs.

You have lived successfully on your own for your whole life and suddenly when you are married, the table turns in an instance? Why? I know wives are suppose to be subservient and adhere to their husbands whims and fancies, but nevertheless, is it worth it losing who you really are just for the sake of being with somebody who could not stand who you really are so much so that they have to change you into 'someone better' or so they say and you just let them do it to you because you think that you love your partner too much that if you don't change, your partner will leave you for 'someone better' (according to them)?

I know some people might say, well you are one sore hag who is so overweight that nobody wants to have a second look at you, that is why you are rambling here. Well, I am all those things but I value my individuality too much that I am not willing to be sacrificed for the sake of not being alone in this world and later regretting my decision to get married. I want to be free and inspired to be whatever I want to be. But I know, my weirdness and quirkiness might be too strange for someone to accept (while I was doing my first degree, I listened to Slipknot and my room mate ran for the hill as she thought I was practicing Satanism). Who would love a hair thinning, morbidly obese and emotionally unbalanced individual like me?

That's why every time TV or shit movies lie to the audience with some unacceptable happy endings where everybody loves everybody in the end of the movie, I can't help to scoff at the unreal situation. But then again, isn't that why we love movies so much? Because it depicts perfect people having perfect life, some sort of escapism from our rubbish and hellish life?

KELANTAN: THE LAND OF LIGTHNING

I seriously felt fed up with the people that I meet today. I am currently doing an assignment on the morphology of the word Pantai Cahaya Bulan (PCB), which refers to the place that I am staying in right now and also one of the most famous tourism spots in Malaysia.

So, I went to Kelantan Tourism Information Centre, but the word Information there is just for decoration purpose only. En Roslan, the front desk person was more preoccupied to satisfy the need of a couple of FOREIGN TOURISTS rather than helping a fellow Malaysian, scraped that, a fellow Kelantanese. Why would you put someone who is clueless about the history of one of the most visited and must see places in Kelantan?

Then, under the scorching hot sun, I walked to Muzium Negeri Kelantan. The ticket seller outside the office was busy reading the newspaper and barely spoke when we asked him the question. we went inside the office, greeted by a heavily pregnant lady who then went inside the air-conditioned room and informed us that the honorary researcher, Tn Hj Salleh B Akib, also did not know the history of PCB. He did not have enough courtesy to come out himself or invite us in to tell us himself than he did not know. I found it rather surprising that a senior researcher like him did not simple facts about a famous place like PCB. However, the pregnant lady asked us to go to Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu-Bandaraya Islam (MPKB-BRI) which is across the street.

The only consolation for today that we got an interview with En Hasmi bin Mohd, the officer at the Zon Perhubungan Awam MPKB-BRI. Kudos to him for living up to the name of his department as he treated us nicely and agreed to be photographed and interviewed.  He also suggested that we went to Arkib Negeri Kelantan to look for more information.

 En Hasmi B Mohd, Thanks a lot to you!!

After that, we went up five flights of stairs to the said Arkib. Inside the Arkib, we found old editions of URTV’s and some journals and of course, the officers there did not know about PCB.

As a last resort, we went to Lembaga Pengalakkan Pelancongan Malaysia but their officers were having a meeting or too busy at the moment. Then, we went Bank Kerapu but the ticket-seller asked us to go to Muzium Negeri. By that time, I lost my ability to be mad so I just walked out without saying anything else. Thanks a lot for your ‘bountiful’ help! No wonder people outside Kelantan don’t really like our attitude since we place little or no respect at all for someone who is trying to know more about our cultural heritage.

I'm fat, stupid and ugly. So, FUCK YOU!

Some people think that it is Okay to comment on other people. A snide comment at that. For instance, to make a remark about whether someone is 'kurus keding' or 'sihat' which in this case, have negative connotation towards the recipient of that comment. Just because you think your body is Perfect, it does not mean you can bluntly criticize others for what you think is their imperfections. God created us unique and it is only appropriate that you respect God's creation.

Kadang2 lelaki ni bodoh dan buta mata hati. Tak nampak apa yang ada di hadapannya dan suka melontarkan pandangan jauh ke depan sampaikan tak nampak yang sudi ada di hadapan mata. Lelaki juga takut nak mencuba konon2 kontrol hensem dan tak cool kalau tak dapat girlfriend dengan ciri2 yang telah disetkan dalam minda.

i-THINK

What are the dIfferences between traditional students and thinking students? Thinking students take charge and are responsible of their own learning. They do visual mappings because they really are trying to organize their thoughts and not just for the sake of doing what the teacher asks then to do. They are willing to take risk and get out of their comfort zone. They are confident and willing to go forward and represent their group to share what they have learned. Now,traditional students are so cooped-up with their old ways of learning that they do not even consider trying new ways of learning because they don't want to move out of their comfort zone. They rely on others to get answers and you could find these people moving up the education ladder through skillful acts of being invisible and let others do the work, then move into the limelight to accepts praises and incentives for other people's hardwork. Well, let's link this to the real world. There are two types of people in this world. Those who do and those who stand and watch. People who do can be likened to those thinking students who are responsible and do things because they want to and not because others told them to. They are active and constantly find ways to fill their time with entertaining activities to fulfill their time. In contrast, people who stand and watch continuously criticize others for their hard work and start bitching when others gain success and get the rewards that they truly deserve. These group of people can be seen together in clumps with their hands covering their mouth for fear others would hear them. When they are told to do work, the limbic part of their brain started to ooze feelings of disgust and dislike to the person telling them to work. These people need to be treated with reverse psychology. Don't ever give any job to them and let them wallow in their self-importance. Soon,they will realize nobody even cares that they are around and this will cause them to feel deeply humiliated and lessen their big, fat ego.

TEACHER RULES!

Just because your title is officer does not mean you are better than us, awesome teacher!
