so here i am in kk.. 3 days before Christmas and currently am alone. need to fetch up those bunch KLian shoppers at 5. Should i get a Christmas present, i want something good from everyone of them lol but i doubt it. big time!!

soooo.. 3 days before Christmas eh. i haven’t do much for Christmas. let alone my Christmas shopping. NOT even my confession. But i think I’ve been a very good person this year (as if) . forgive me Father for i do you no good (totally!!!). Repent, repent. because i want Christmas angpau hehehe.

sooo.. i haven’t seen much of the Christmas decorations. i went to 1Borneo few weeks ago and i saw this big big deco there with a castle..heard they got snow. haven’t seen that. that is .. the one and only deco for this year for me. oh yeah, maybe not. i haven’t seen the Christmas trees at my hometown. yet.

3 days before Christmas and Im still missing that Christmas spirit. am i gone too plain to feel that? arghhhh. im bored. i guess i’ll be celebrating the day just like any other public holiday. Should i be thankful to God, for I to be able to celebrate the day with the whole family during this troubled year. That’s what make it special than any other day, for sure. Yes.. it’ll be another good day.

speaking of which…i guess i’ll be looking forward to gather around with all my family members. lots of stories to tell and lots of jokes to laugh. ohh i forgot, my one year younger cousin bro got engaged last Sunday so i got a strong feeling that my elders have a bunch of things to force-feed me regarding on that hahaha mateiiii.

3 days before Christmas but i already have a clear vision that i WILL nakalapik (knock out) on that very morning of Christmas Day. Last year, i didn’t make it to my friends’ houses because i got drunk on that early morning. Plus, i did had that hangover from Christmas eve. It’s gonna be another circle of my yearly Christmas event.

So I hope everyone will have a very pleasant and joyful Christmas Day ya. 3 days before Christmas.. i hope it’ll bring you and your family a blessed Christmas Day. I wish everyone of you MERRY CHRISTMAS.

… ohh, well.

Heavy metal ‘a comfort for the bright child’

By Nic Fleming, Science Correspondent (taken from the telegraph.co.uk)

Intelligent teenagers often listen to heavy metal music to cope with the pressures associated with being talented, according to research.

The results of a study of more than 1,000 of the brightest five per cent of young people will come as relief to parents whose offspring, usually long-haired, are devotees of Iron Maiden, AC/DC and their musical descendants.

Researchers found that, far from being a sign of delinquency and poor academic ability, many adolescent “metalheads” are extremely bright and often use the music to help them deal with the stresses and strains of being gifted social outsiders.

Stuart Cadwallader, a psychologist at the University of Warwick, will present the findings at the British Psychological Society conference in York today.

He said: “There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading. I think that is an inaccurate stereotype. There is literature that links heavy metal to poor academic performance and delinquency but we found a group that contradicts that.

“We are looking at a group with lower than average self-esteem that does not feel quite as well adjusted. They feel more stressed out and turn to heavy metal as a way of relieving that stress.

it’s gonna be a full swing for Malaysia-Today that the ‘tuan rumah’ has come back from the wilderness. welcome back hammer of justice the stalking wolfs need to be chased out. crush em’ all. it’s gonna be a full house since there gonna be good stories around the house ya. should malaysian kick out the clowns coz the circus is getting sick. let’s save it for future shows.

post battles: hungry wolfs vs. a lone tiger = pack of wolfs win with the help of jackals.

future battles: hungry wolfs vs. bonds of PR Dragons

don’t miss the shows.

i was thinking a bit here and there these past few weeks. i was thinking of working in a tourism field. i always have ideas more on tourism; how to promote, how to improve, how to maintain, etc. i want to work for sabah tourism. if there is one la. i might need helps from friends.. anyone? is there anyone can help me to get in there hehe.

i wonder why there is no action is taken to preserve tg. aru beach? it a very well known spot bah even in the eye of the world not just for our domestic tourist. heran betul saya. is it so hard to build shower booths for refreshment after a dive in the sea? or is it so hard to trashing the trashes in trash bins?

i remember well when i was a little kid living near the beach, my cousins and i always walked down the there nearly every day just to play with the white sand and sometimes to see jellyfish. we always ended with wet clothes but now, haiya… mo masuk air pun sa geli. kotor gila. even the jellyfish rarely surface on the beach nowadays, let alone those beautiful fishes. it’s a shame.

i rather have the old tg. aru stalls than the newly ‘dedicated for sabahan’ commersial stalls. the place is too dirty and i don’t really like it. i always get dizzy when i go buy snacks. i seldom drink and eat anything there. i just dont find that place is enjoyable to stay around. i kinda hate those coconut shells they gathered in one spot, they give bad odor. management for that place is kinda bad. really really bad. i dont really need to spit it out why foreign tourist dislike that place.. i think you know now.

i havent been to tg aru quite some time. i wonder if there still parrots and those little colourful birds there. they used to be a lot if im not mistaken. is there any left?

i have a lot of good memories back then with tg. aru beach. why there isn’t any nowadays? would you guys mind to preserve tg. aru beach? btw, help me if any of you know how am i going go to have a go for sabah tourism or anything along  with it.

so i went to this Chinese restaurant today around 4. a very old looking restaurant here in fohsang. not that old actually but i guess things faded out quickly nowadays or perhaps, it just looks pretty good that way. who knows. it’s the place where old folks come together to have drinks and chitchats, anyway. i’d find it funny if they went to burger king or McDonald, instead.

so i was eating my meal and looking around. kinda shocked a little when i found out that the uncle next to my table speaks malay. he was alone at first then came this chinese elder (one who sells lottery coupons) sat next to him and chitchatted. really, he looked sooooooooooo very chinese, im telling you, but instead, he’s a dusun or kadazan or whatever suits him. i got fooled a bit there.  this chinese uncle was also unique. he spoke malay like nothing bothers the world, was like drinking plain water. sap sap sui. It’s very rare to see a chinese who speaks malay like a pure malay. the only one i knew best is aseng. for one to be able to speaks malay so fluently,  still i find it uberly rare.

then came an uncle. he came and walk directly to the cooling box asking for a warm beer. i was like .. wow. warm beer on a very warmy sunny day. i thought it is best to have a very chilled one. he sat at the edge of the restaurant and wondering while looking at the pedesterians walking around. soon, asking for another warm beer.

later on 2 uncles came. they sat next to me. these dudes were the ones who made my day. the taukey is a 20ish Chinese kid came for the order and this uncle’s order was “saya mau .. hari hari mau” and the reply was “hari hari mau ka? ada ada!!”. i was like .. wow. both were chinese and they exchanged words in malay while in a chinese restaurant. it’s just .. wow. i guess beer makes everyone malaysian ya. haha. should everyone drink beer for the sake of peace.

now a little bit of the newly elected president obama of united states of america. congratulation for being the first black american to be elected that prestigious seat. it should be a good sign for races based idealogy. may he be the spark to tear apart every wall of racism. i heard he’s a muslim? is that so? if it’s true then it’s rather a good news. first black american and a muslim elected to be the next president of USA. wow. that should conclude a revolution. im a christian and nothing bad about that. may the world starts to appreciate peace and harmony. but im not so sure about his religion, though. sorry if i got the wrong infomation.

should Malaysian learn from the people of America. i think you know what i mean. if not, learn how to learn, at least.

please accept my deepest apologize for my late wish regarding on this. i was about to blog it early in the morning but i had another matter to settle with. anyway, HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY. Sept 16, the new beginning of a new era, i must say. An era of a new dawn of malaysia; a new hope and prosperity.

Malaysia day is everywhere for some reason. Just like the ordinary yet with a more lively patriotic value. Everywhere you go, people will speak out of it, taking it into another level of understanding; politically and historically, a long gone piece of history, a formation of men of a greater nation called Malaysia. it has been how long? 45 years?… just to be aware that we are all but malaysians?

better late than never, they say. it’s nice to see some changes. you and i are in an equal context, men of the same independent nation. so why should we have a huge gap of differences? there is no need of denial of races, religions, skin colours, cultures, etc. we are all but 1, malaysian, a mixture of islam, christian, hindu, buddha, malay, chinese, indian, sabahan, sarawakian, etc. We are one upon all.

wouldn’t it be nice to have a chinese who can speak indian and malay, or a sabahan who can speak the tounge of a chinese or an indian? would you mind to have that tounge to be able to speak a lot of different languages? i wouldn’t mind if you ask me. we are special people, a rare breed kind of people. we have a lot more to learn from each others, then why shouldn’t us? i have chinese and also indian friends while having countless malay numbers. it’s pretty cool, don’t you think so?

i hope the new coming era will be an era of understanding each other and working together side by side peacefully and harmony. May this year’s Malaysia Day brings you good reasons to be a Malaysian.

Permatang Pauh part 2, anyone?

so, brothers n sisters in Pensiangan, it’s your turn to get highlighted and be the kingmaker in this nation’s newest internal affair and as a whole. Re-shape this political madness and send us a vocal representative to the parliament, now get it done faster.

Unite for a Change.

i was replying a comment in my previous entry wrote by jeffrie. again. thanks. it was a very long written reply so i end up posting it as a new entry. read my previous entry entitle revolution of mind: political intelligence for further info.

yup, i agreed to the comment written by jeffrie, though, i have some feedbacks i would like to write about. here goes.

there’s another point of why bn having a big win over sabah and sarawak. bare in mind that before the GE non of us ever thought that 5 states in the peninsular will be taken over by the PR and i must say, during that period of time, not many of us sabahan really have that desire to push back the umno regime out of sabahan political scene like the western brothers desperately did in the peninsular. don’t you agree?

what i mean is, name me a party here in sabah that really have what it takes to chop down that bn flag?

sabahan had fought a war against the big bn regime once and failed. remember why Dr.Jeffry was sentence to 20 yrs of prison? among them maybe were my dad, mom, relatives and all, and i strongly think it was supported by your family too but history was written so clear that they, along together with our past leaders, were totally outdone by the bn war machine and the outcome of that incident is an undeveloped piece of land called sabah, land below the wind.

what most of us sabahans want is a developed state which offers more working vacancies, education, medical support and so fort. you can name them as many as you like because we do lack a lot and perhaps, we don’t even have some of the good things offered in some places like k.l, j.b, penang, or even labuan. do u think that by having the bn regime to govern this state can us achieve such attention? infact, they are the one holding the budgetary to choose to or not to channel cash flow to develop places.

of course we want a change but like i said before, the fire that anwar ibrahim started in the peninsular had never really reach this borneo island.

as a second man in the Sabah PKR camp, Dr, Jeffry was luckily to escape death before the GE as he was involved in a car accident before that. he was in a critical stage to start with. Admit this, there’s no anwar ibrahim’s alike here to start that sort of revolution, thus, not many of us dare to take that path twice but later on, when we saw the possibilities of winning, it was already too late. it vanished in thin air.

here’s another possibility why bn can easily take control of this state. tell me, did you or did you not see the same faces that ‘proclaim’ to be the betting horses to run this state? for most of sabahan, those faces are among the best, if not the best, this state can offer them. like i said, if there’s an anwar ibrahim’s alike born sabahan, do you think this scenario will dramatically change? yes, maybe yet we can’t really say it’s for sure.

but worry not. sabah is now one of the key players of a better nation thanks for the GE. we are one of the highlights not because we have more bn-jumping-sinking-ship agenda, but as a whole, we are breeding a new political intelligence regarding on future benefits. the people’s power is somehow planted and rapidly growing in the minds of young generations. it will spread cancerously from generation to generations. like what i’ve wrote before in my previous entry, this is an education. we learn.

sabah will produce leaders of young and energetic with more additional good features, and for the old ones… your time is running out. history will be changed by erasing most of their failures. we will have our own anwar ibrahim born sabahan. so, don’t loosen that grip of hope, not yet.

i don’t want to write crap regarding on our sick political thingy with all the vote buying or phantom voters or anything like that because it’s already written in ‘our’ own history book. we’ll remember it and it will be passed down. politic is just another legal way of selling lies, just so you know. it sucks.

but it’s good to talk about better future and such. it attracts positive things to happen and hopefully, it gives us a better politician born sabahan in the nearest future. it might just be you, jeff. who knows.

last night was a very enjoyable picnic. NIGHT TIME picnic a at the beach hahaha. it was a very spontaneous chill out, though. Sadly, we didn’t had a bone fire. i thought we might get some woods to burn but then, there’s NOTHING. But still, it’s cool. Had some wine, tia maria, a couple of beers and snacks, enough to heat up the atmosphere. that was golden. We laugh, we sing and we had fun. we should do it more outing at the beach.

4 wishes to be granted as i had my 4 shooting stars.
