Plan that rise from the ashes.

 Assalamualaikum.

 

After a long hiatus on this blog, here I am again. 

Just so you know, I’ve been very busy with final year (yerr rightt) and that would be the main reason for this long hiatus. Secondly I lost that sensation in writing blog again. Nowadays it is easier to just tweet or just write up a status about anything we encounter in life. So I’m done with my degree now and waiting for Convocation on middle of October 2014. My last semester result has come out and all praised to Allah, I managed to get my targeted pointer for this final semester. Having manage to climb up from 2^nd class lower to 2^nd class upper, man, im more than grateful for all this good news. Enough about this, lets get back to the main topic.

If you did not follow my instagram/ twitter account you might not notice that im on a solo-mission of backpacking around Peninsular Malaysia. By the time I’ve post this online, im sure I already completed my journey and have a good night sleep at home.

I got this thing of traveling throughout the peninsular back before my internship begins but at that time, I planned on going with few of my colleague. Long story short, the plan did not work out. We have too many ideas, to many conflict and in the end, the plan crumbles and disappear into thin air.

So during my final exam week, I had this thought, much similar to any other student, instead of focusing on final exam, we are much more excited to plan on what to do after the exam ends. Some have great travel plan, some have their own bucket list to complete and some, well, some just stay quiet because they are broke. Haha.

So after putting some thought, I decided to go on with the peninsular trip. I began with listing out each and every attraction in each city. Most of the information is retrieved from Google, travel blog, TripAdvisor and friends. At this particular time, budget is still not the main concern because I have saved some money specifically to be used for any travel plan after I finish my study. It wasn’t much but I think I can survive with it.

Once the research is done, next is to contact friends and family of contact in each city for their assistant in traveling in the city. Before the trip begins, I already accept the fact that I will do most of the traveling on foot. Because of that I have listed down only places that are within 10km radius from the city center.  That was the initial plan. But after getting in contact with some close and long lost friend, I managed to ask them to assist me in this journey. Their help is forever will be in my dept. At this time, I was more excited to plan the trip rather than studying for my final exam. Sure there are times where I’m scared of the fact of travelling all by myself and thinking of putting of the plan but in the end I muster up my courage and just let the plan goes.

Here are the stuff that I carried together for the first half of the trip

Luggage

Deuter Trans Alpine 30L

EASTPAK Out of Office Backpack

Canon 450D + 17-70mm f/2.8-4 OS USM

What's with city students and private College/Universities?

It struck me to see almost all of the student that live in the big city, well i can say most of my friends here, they are more encouraged to get into private universities and colleges. Sure I get it, they have a lot of money, sorry their parents have a lot of money but focusing on just getting into a private higher learning school is sometimes not a very good idea.

I think by just planning to get into private institute in the first place makes them all less aware that they have to score the exam, which is SPM of course. What I meant to say is that, they know that they have secure the place in the private college. All they need now is money and also money. I don't know whether this is the truth or not but I very much think it does affect them in some way. Scolding by the parents help but as we all known well, it only works for some short period of time.

Let's just compare it to the students from other rural places. They ain't got that much of money. They have only one car and it's only a Kancil. Or a Saga maybe. Their future studies are not secure. So they don't have anything other than hardwork to ensure a better future.

Another case is the environment. I think most of the student, sorry to say this, The chinese have difficulties of going to places other than the big city. I know this is not a very correct statement, but as far as these eye can see, I pretty much have seen almost ALL of my chinese friends went to further their studies in Private institution. I think some of them cannot bear the fact they can't see movie every weekends or even go to club to party after exam is over.

You might say that the non-bumi are having hard time to enter public universities. Yes. Most of them do. I acknowledge that fact but still, opportunities are everywhere nowadays. Not only they offer locally but also internationally. Even for the great University such as UTP(hehe. promote sikit :P), UNITEN, MMU there are a lot of opportunities but as far as I know, most of the non-bumi comes from places other than the big big city.


All said I think the Government are the one who to be blame. Don't get me wrong here, they are very proud of so called "1 Malaysia" everything but they can't make the quota of bumi and non-bumi in the local university very much equalize? Does not make sense. If you wanted to see more interaction between races why don't you make more race available in a such institute?

Well that is all my opinion. I would love to hear from you guys regarding this matter. Anyhow, meet you again in the next post. Until then :)

Legal Gambling? Oh yeah?

Yes, I'm well aware that this is the wrong timing to discussing this matter but I don't think I will discuss this matter when the final is over too. Besides, it's my free-from-books-except-facebook time of the day so what the heck.

This is the piece form Bernama

Kerajaan mempertimbangkan kemungkinan mengeluarkan lesen untuk membenarkan pertaruhan dilakukan semasa kejohanan bola sepak Piala Dunia 2010 berlangsung awal bulan depan bagi mengelak berleluasanya aktiviti perjudian dan pertaruhan haram di negara ini.Timbalan Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Awang Adek Hussein, berkata jika kerajaan tidak mengeluarkan lesen kepada pihak yang memohon, aktiviti perjudian dan pertaruhan haram tetap berlaku tanpa kawalan dan pemantauan pihak berkuasa.

"Ada beberapa perkara penting untuk dikaji sama ada perkara ini (mengeluarkan lesen membenarkan pertaruhan) baik bagi kerajaan atau jika kerajaan boleh cuba mengawalnya untuk mengetahui berapa banyak (jumlah wang daripada pertaruhan haram). "Kerajaan sedang mengkaji perkara ini dan akan memutuskannya jika mahu membenarkan pertaruhan kerana kejohanan Piala Dunia ini semakin hampir,"

katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di lobi Parlimen hari ini. Awang Adek berkata, jika lesen itu dikeluarkan, kerajaan dapat mengawal aktiviti perjudian, selain hasilnya boleh digunakan terutama untuk pembangunan bidang sukan di negara ini.Beliau mengakui sudah ada pihak yang membuat permohonan untuk mendapatkan lesen itu tetapi beliau enggan mendedahkan lebih lanjut maklumat itu sehingga kerajaan membuat keputusan mengenainya. Terdahulu, isu itu dibangkitkan pada sesi soal jawab oleh Senator Ng Fook Heng yang mahukan penjelasan kemungkinan kerajaan mengeluarkan lesen pertaruhan kejohanan Piala Dunia untuk mengelakkan perjudian haram.

Awang Adek berkata, kerajaan memandang serius aktiviti perjudian tanpa lesen yang membabitkan pertaruhan nombor ramalan, permainan mesin slot dan pertaruhan membabitkan bookie bagi permainan bola sepak dan permainan lain. "Aktiviti perjudian tanpa lesen adalah aktiviti yang boleh mewujudkan kegiatan sampingan lain seperti peminjam wang tanpa lesen, jenayah terancang, penyeludupan dan pengubahan wang haram. "Oleh itu sebagai sebuah kerajaan yang prihatin terhadap rakyatnya, kerajaan akan memberi pertimbangan sewajarnya dan sebarang langkah perlu dilakukan secara berkesan bagi menangani masalah bookie tanpa lesen termasuk membenarkan pertaruhan bookie bola sepak dilaksanakan melalui perlesenan sah," katanya.

Although there is no final words given out by the government so far but for this issue to be discussed it is not a very reasonable thing to do. I want to, if possible, to express all my feeling regarding this issue here but sadly, this no place for me to do it. I might get caught for just doing that. Scary la. wooooooo~ :< style="font-style: italic;"> "Hey prostitution is wrong and sinful and brings harm to the community rather than make it worst lets make a prostitution club where we can control amount of people entering. Yeah! We can set limit per day. Atleast that will reduce the amount of people having prostitution a bit."

OR

"We really want to stop AIDS from spreading due to sharing of needles, let's give them free needles instead so that they get more drugs and less AIDS :D"

OR

"Oh my God, disposing of baby is very wrong, maybe we should give these youngster more condoms so they can have more sex without making children"


It all the same thing. Approving what is wrong from religion and moral points of view. Anyhow, Malaysia oh Malaysia my dear beloved country. I don't know what will happen to you now. I just hope by the time I became a father this will all change for good for my children sake. uh. I want to elaborate more but time is jealous of me. Got to go now. Final is in 2 days time.

Until then.

p/s: Sorry if this post is a little bit smells politics. Yeah, I hate politics to sometimes.
p/s: sorry for the harsh word.
p/s: Good Luck for finals exam :D
