This is no news. The opening ceremony or the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing 2008, bird’s nest was amazing. No amazing race could ever compete with this “amazing” word described here.
The opening ceremony was really creative and a many times caught me breathless even when I was in front of the screen.
The first was the lifting of the 5 Olympics rings which I think was made of light bulbs or some sort into the air. Like the commentator said, in previous events it was either on the floor or the side or whichever but only at one place. This went from flat on the ground to a vertical hanging in the air and with angel flying around. Truly spectacular.
The lighting of the Olympic torch was much awaited by millions as no one knew how it was going to be. The idea of flying or rather running in mid air around the bird’s nest with the scroll of the whole Olympic torch relay around the world was great. It gave the feeling of seeing the torch being relayed from its first post right to the lighting of the torch in that few minutes of flying feat.
I liked the releasing of the dove song and action a lot and when the screen showed the audience did it with their hands like depicted on the big screens in the stadium and the girls on stage, I smiled. Let’s just say capturing thousands of dove and keeping them in cages just to be released back in an event for people to see is not my cup of tea.
The later events was worth the wait, the 2 hour long marching of the athletes into the stadium was well, a bit boring for me such as the lighting of the Olympic torch.
However I still find some things could be better. I still do not catch why the announcement where made in that order. I still don’t know what was the first language being announced, well, I did not check anyway. The thing that made me think was the announcements, I still think that the host language should be used first that is announcements should be made in mandarin first then followed English or whatever language that should be used.
This time around it is more fun to watch when the announcer we watch are speaking in Cantonese and well, time is good too. Asian time rocks for me.
Electricity bill for 4 hours TV = RM 30
Durian, junk food, tea during show = RM 50
Watching it in Cantonese and with my parents = Priceless

Port Dickson, yes Port Dickson the beach, not whatever you are thinking about. Well it was during the long Wesak holidays I think. Were planning for Yogjarkarta with the colleagues but the flight prices were soaring by the time we were even free to check the web for tickets due to our heavy and mad schedules. We bunked at one of our colleague’s sister’s apartment which saved us many bucks which we are all grateful as we’re quite cost conscious in a way.
It was a really nice trip where we just laze back trying to forget about work but ended up our conversations were based on work and nothing but work. We had so much fun and the place was really great though the water still looks very dirty.
We were treated with a great sunset while we tried to start the fire and have our little barbeque on the porch of the apartment…

Are you an anime fan? Do you think you know what the above picture is? This is from a very early anime in the 1990s. This is also one of the early anime that breached many shores out of Japan.
No prizes of coz, just a sort of trivia…

How do you differentiate the sun setting and rising?
Is there always a definite answer?
I certainly have no definite answer…
Does every sunrise marks the beginning and the sunset marks the end? This is somewhat true when you look at it objectively but however how do you be certain it is a sunrise or a sunset. I believe on the individual will know… in due time.
The road ahead seems to be lighted up by the golden rays of the sun… be it sunrise or sunset. The sight is beautiful and awing. It was definitely beauty that my brain could translate via the beams of light hitting my retina.
These are some of the recorded images during those beautiful hours…

I waited and waited and then after our discussion on some stuff… I handed it over to her. She smiled and expressed mild unexpected feelings. I’m not sure if it was genuine or a show. However I was a tad disappointed, or rather not what I would have expected from her and him.
I still remember my previous senior manager’s expression as he knew he was losing a good staff, one that helped him managed many happy VIPs. Having said that, my last employment was more modest and peaceful rather than the current affair of hot and cold war.
So it’s time to move on again. Time for a new horizon of unknown and finding out if the green grass over the fence is bitter and sour or sweet like honey. Thinking about leaving the company in 24 hours seems so tempting but it will not look good on humane perspective, therefore I will still need to check with HR on this matter of how it will be.
Well, all the best to me… and hope things does not repeat again. Though I would curse them every day, but when today came, that feeling sort of faded away totally. May be I’m a softy. May be I’m not bold enough to spit in their face and let them rot in hell.
I don’t believe in letting them slap me on the right after they slapped me on the left, but however I do know not to do things that you do not want others do to you even though how much of a donkey ass you are. With that said, I shall be leaving the company with good terms.
There was a proposition given to me where if money is the main purpose as every bloody thing is going to be so expensive soon, they are willing to work out something for me. Money plays a great role in my decision but I don’t know, do you think if they are willing to pay me more, I should stay? They are waiting for my decision that if money can hold my horses… then they are willing to work out something.
I don’t know
I’m starting to get confused
What should I do

School Uniform Is NOT the Reason
Posted by: Fahmi05
As a teacher, I have to disagree with the statement on the school uniforms being the cause for immoral acts of boys. UTTER NONSENSE!!!
Look around you and examine the current social situation in our country. How the girls dress outside school hours is umpteen times more sexy and revealing than their school uniform. In fact, when I was in school we were still wearing pinafore (which are actually less revealing than the baju kurung. The baju kurung was only making its appearence as a school uniform then. From then until now, it had never been made into an issue. This is because it is a NON-issue.
BE REALISTIC!!! Students as young as the age of 8 years old are exposed to all sorts of pornographic material (a fact garnered by primary school teachers), students are influenced by indecent way of dressing particularly from our eastern neighbours (don’t only blame the west for all ill in the nation), and many other woes of the youth today have nothing to do with schools.
Another thing to consider is the moral values of the men / boys said to have turned rapists. One thing I realise is that the majority of the so-called offenders are MALAYS (I’m a Malay myself but I don’t blind myself to realities of life). These people do not have strong religious grounding or do not practise the religion as they should. Why? It goes back to the family background. As do most discipline problems in school. It goes back to their upbringing although we teachers bear the brunt of societies wrath at these students.
People question what teachers do at school that they cannot mould the students. GO BACK AND ASK THE PARENTS WHAT THEY HAD BEEN DOING DURING THEIR CHILDREN’S FORMATIVE YEARS (between the ages of 2 and 5 or 6) when most values are instilled. DON’T blame teachers!!!
What I can say is, well said and totally agreed. What is all this nonsense about school uniform lah, teachers don’t know how to teach lah and all these crap. If you tell me school uniform is the cause then the whole country is full of young rapist, or maybe you are just trying to say that if you go around raping people in school uniform, then you can sue these girls for wearing school uniforms and while you go scot free and continue your raping spree.
Another point that I like which was this writer brought up is family education. What the hell are you concerned about discipline when you freaking let your own child climb all over you, step you on the head and shit in your face. You make up excuses to not teach your child and when teachers do you a big favour by teaching them respect and all other values a human should have… you go and sue them stating they are some lunatic for slapping or caning their child. Another big utter nonsense.
If they were so precious then why not hire your own tutor from overseas or even oxford to teach them. I have been through my years with caning and even public caning which has shaped me and all the people around me. Even those that we top notch thugs in school has become useful souls in the society, but look at what is happening now. Parents sue teachers for disciplining them, child sues parents for slapping them and in the end there are more useless than the worst thugs back then.
Next time think again when you intend to spare the rod… or complaint about a teacher. Think what have you done to not create your own monster than what other have done to your monster. Of coz there are those that still holds the invaluable values that should be instilled in everyone and those are the respected ones.
Big standing ovation for this teacher!!!
Another thing that annoyed me very recently is the petrol price. I’m not talking about the freaking 78 cents rise but the people that queued like hours just waiting for petrol and also those who drive from Kedah to Kelantan just to fill a tank of petrol.
I’m not saying saving is not good, but look at it, the amount of petrol and time you waste while waiting to fill a tank does not justify. You waste time and skipped meals which damage your own body. Your car emits hazardous gas and stuff that endangers everyone in the world. All that for may be RM 56 if you have a 70 liter tank like mine.
The worst is you caused a freaking jam right at the exit of my housing area and almost caused me to be late for my midnight work!!! And believe me the money you earn per hour is definitely more than what you are wasting there waiting and endangering others.

I was really, really pissed earlier. I wrote a very destructive post, but then again I decided not to put it here, for the reason that it’s still not time to reveal publicly, in case the wrong eyes lay upon it. I’m pretty much better now, thanks to some chatting and self time off.
Well, all I can stay now it just that people can be pretty selfish and demanding even when they know nothing at all… yes when you say nothing at all. Quite the contrary actually, words spoken or written or typed are still damaging.
Anyway, I feel relaxed when I look at the picture below. It works for me, as the sun was setting by the beach and some people were just there. They made some what good silhouette. Hope you find the same peace of mind with this picture. It was taken in Langkawi some time ago.

Whenever the storm hangs over head
I try to see the light breaking through the clouds
Whenever darkness shrouds my path
I search for the beam seeping through the clouds
When the ray pours down unto my flesh
Warmth blankets my soul with hope
For another day comes by
With hope and serenity
With strength and visibility

I went to the night market with my mum earlier today. It was like many moons ago that I went out with my mum, well at least to the night market. We went to buy food and also some vegetables. I asked why buy now when we could get it in the morning during the morning market at exactly the same place. I commented was it cheaper during the night market, and the reply was yes.
I know that mum is just trying to save whatever that she can for rainy days. I know it’s a good trait and not wasting is definitely good. However I just can’t help but feel lousy. I feel lousy because I don’t seem to be able to cater for the basic needs, well at least not what I see.
I want to give my parents everything. I want them to be able to eat or even buy anything that they want without thinking so much about the cost and how expensive is it. I want to be able to forget the value of money, leaving that for me to worry.
I know it’s hard because we came from a poor background, struggling day in and day out just to make ends meet, at least my parents and siblings did. I was lucky to be better off than them. I’m still trying very hard to make life easier for them, to earn more so they can live better without worries. I guess I have not been able to do that yet.
Mum, Dad, I’m trying my best to make up whatever that I have done wrong but not with money but my sincerity. My aim is to make sure both of you can live a better after all you have done for us, me and my siblings. I want you to enjoy the rest of the days with us by your side, as a family.
I will make this day come true for you… mum and dad. I’m working hard towards it.
