Mr. Bad Mood

Due to the various factors and events happening around me for the past few days, I'm currently having an extremely bad mood; no mood to eat, no mood to study, no mood to work, no mood to play, no mood to talk, no mood to care... etc.

Who says men do not have PMSes?
I daresay that I'm currently having a great one:

Mood-less, crappy, tired, sad, headache, eye ache, stomachache, sleepy, sick, frustrated, sensitive, irritated, depressed, lost, angry, lonely, annoyed, rebellious, ignorance, inconsiderate, lazy, bored, bad temper, sour face... etc. I'm having almost all of them at once.

Hey girls, do these "features" satisfy the "requirements" for having PMSes?

Somebody SAVE me!!!

I feel like screaming out loud.
I'm super duper lost!!!
& I need to escape!!!

p.s. I'm sorry if I'd unintentionally offended anyone during this period,
Hope you all will understand my current situation.

I hope that things will get better soon.

My Take On The UM Student Council Election

My Uni's Student Council Election is around the corner.

Many brainwashing activities, emotional remarks, back-stabbing & threats has been going on over this 2 weeks.

Wastage of funds, kidnapping, protesting, flag burning & fighting are common towards the candidate-naming as well as the election day.

But what is the real purpose behind all this?
-- Power-Hungry bastards trying to manipulate other people's thoughts in order to achieve their own desire, even though it does not have anything to do with the development of the university?
Or people trying to gain other's trust by simply making allegations?

Think for yourself, are you voting for a particular person plainly because he/she:
- is your friend?
- is your course mate?
- is of your own race?
- is your hostel mates?
- looked more reliable?
- looked more charming?
- is the person whom the others influences/asks/forces/threatens you to vote for?

- ...(you simply do not have a choice, you vote because you're required to do so)

For which ever reasons, do not ever let your emotions conquer your rationality.
Do not blindly follow the others' footsteps.
USE YOUR BRAIN!!! NOT YOUR HEART!!!


I'm not here to ask you not to vote,
but Vote Smart, Vote with Confidence & most important you Vote Rationally.

And if you still could not decide who to vote for on the very moment you're standing in front of the ballot box, vote for Nobody. Remember, it's not a necessity to vote & it is definitely not a sin if you don't vote! You will not get yourself into any trouble if you do not vote!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Pause, and ask yourself, who are you? Are you really a University student? Or you're just another nobody out there who didn't get a chance to study, currently working like hell trying to earn for a living?
Then why are you not working towards your initial intentions when you first received your acceptance letter into the university?
Why waste most of your time participating in activities, playing games, skipping classes, not paying attention during classes and neglecting your studies?

At the end of the day, end up not getting to graduate?
And become the next hostel administrator?

Please do not waste that seat you're taking up in the Uni whereas there is someone else out there who deserves more than you do, dying to get a place in Uni but did not manage to get it.
SHAME ON YOU!!!

Conclusion is... Please, USE YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN!!!

And so some of you might think... Who the hell am I to say this to you?

I’m not representing any of the competing ideological parties/bodies/organizations because I do not side any.

I'm just a student... who is fed up with those morons out there.

Apati Pelajar Tahun Satu

Pilihan Raya Kampus (PRK) kini berbunga kembali… Mahasiswa Universiti yang dipilih menjadi Calon sama ada Pro-Mahasiswa mahupun Pro-Aspirasi kini masing-masing mempertaruhkan manifesto-manifesto mereka…kononnya demi kebajikan dan kepentingan Mahasiswa. Tetapi ada segelintir calon sahaja yang melunaskan janji-janji manis mereka dan selebihnya hanya menjadi “Pak Turut” kepada pihak yang mencaturkan sistem ini. Inilah yang sering berlaku acapkali sehingga ianya menjadi klise menjelangnya musim PRK.

Dalam hal ini, Mahasiswa perlu sedar bahawa apa yang pentingnya disini ialah, anda mempunyai hak dan kebebasan dalam memilih calon yang mempunyai kredibiliti dan memperjuangkan kebajikan Mahasiswa pada hari ini. Bukannya calon yang bijak mempersetan dan beromong kosong dalam meraih undi simpati terutamanya dari pelajar tahun satu…cukup sadis dengan tindakan mereka ini. Apa yang perlu ialah calon yang dipilih itu bukan calon yang dicaturkan oleh sistem atau golongan elit yang bermatlamat tertentu tetapi seorang calon yang dipilih oleh mahasiswa demi mahasiswa itu sendiri. Akhirnya, wujudlah simtom yang dinamakan “mengkhinzir buta” oleh golongan mahasiswa tanpa mindanya dijana oleh mahasiswa itu sendiri… Adakah Mahasiswa kita pada hari ini hanyalah seperti layang-layang? Iaitu kebebasan layang-layang itu dikawal oleh penariknya. Maka ini hanyalah menjadikan Mahasiswa itu seperti ”serumpun lalang” yang tidak mempunyai platform dan pendirian yang tetap mahupun kritis.

Universiti adalah tempat dimana Mahasiswa berkeupayaan untuk berfikir secara kritikal bukannya yang direncanakan untuk menjadi robot atau Mahasiswa Boneka. Tindak-tanduk Mahasiswa sebenarnya ditentukan oleh Mahasiswa sendiri dan bukannya oleh pihak berkepentingan individualistik. Keadilan sosial dan hak Mahasiswa adalah pencetus kepada keseimbangan Negara dalam era marcapada kini. Jangan menjadi seperti burung merpati, mata terlepas badan terkurung… gahnya bergelar sebagai MAHASISWA UNIVERSITI tetapi tidak seGah peranannya sebagai Mahasiswa yang berintelektual. Pada hakikatnya masa kini, kita dapat melihat bahawa Mahasiswa tahun satu lebih cenderung menjadi apati iaitu tidak mengambil tahu tentang kesan yang bakal mereka peroleh apabila tersilap merencanakan calon mereka. Apati dalam konteks ini ialah Mahasiswa mengambil tindakan kalut dengan mengikut apa yang telah dipaksa dan dicaturkan oleh “gagak” itu…kenapa? Mahasiswa ini telah diugut dengan pelbagai ancaman tsunami kotor dan kolot mereka dalam mengekalkan pengaruh mereka yang begitu menjijikkan itu…inilah karenah birokrasi kita pada hari ini yang menggunakan prinsip matlamat menghalalkan cara...aku untung, poket kembung…

Wahai Mahasiswa Tahun Satu…ingatlah bahawa, mangkin kepada perubahan dan kebaikan Mahasiswa itu bukannya datang daripada gagak-gagak ini tetapi ianya lahir daripada Mahasiswa itu sendiri… akibatnya, apa yang kita takuti dan turuti itu menyebabkan kita bagaikan “melepaskan anjing yang tersepit” akhirnya ianya akan mengigit kita semula…

Pilihlah calon anda dengan telus dan tepat tanpa sebarang provokasi yang songsang supaya anda tidak dihegemonikan dengan ancaman mahupun ugutan merewang daripada pihak yang tidak berintelktualistik ini. Hak anda perlu diketengahkan dan jadikan ugutan mereka sebagai daun-daun kering yang berguguran tanpa sedikit pun mendatangkan faedah kepada kita…

KEGAGALAN LEPAS ADALAH MANGKIN KEPADA KEJAYAAN KITA PADA HARI INI.

BERSATU UNTUK BERUBAH….UNDIAN ANDA PERJUANGAN KAMI.

Arghhh...

I'm starting to hate Blogger for 2 reasons:

1. Font problem:

• It looked nice in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari, but it turn out to be jaggy in Internet Explorer.. What the hell?  (I need your comment on this. How did it looked like to you?)
  
• I wonder how did the others managed to make it look nice?
  

2. Alignment probem:

• The preview in my draft and what it turned out was totally different. This sucks... Big Looooong Time!!!

For this 2 reasons, I was unable to publish my drafts.

Damn!!!

p/s. I need your comments on how the font looked like on your screen. Thank you. =)

Burning regards,

UM's Only Non-Muslim Food Stall Ordered To Close

This was just in:

University of Malaya's only non-Muslim-owned food stall situated at its 12th Residential College has been ordered to close.

This is one of the measures taken by the university authorities to make sure all food stalls within the campus are Halal a.k.a. PORK-FREE.

The stall operated by a Chinese couple has been a popular dining spot for Chinese cuisine to the university's NON-MUSLIM community, especially students, due to its cheap price, quality food and good service.

Customers could get a plate of rice for as low as RM3.50 along with 4 choices of vegetable & meat and a cup of Chinese tea.

The public working within the vicinity were also the frequent customers of the stall.

 

I'm sure the university authority's action would spark a series of anger from the university's NON-MUSLIM community.

 

So much for multiracial country.

So much for democratic country.

So much for human rights.

 

THEY ARE VERY, VERY RACIST!!!!

AND

THEY DO NOT RESPECT OTHER RACE'S RIGHTS AT ALL!!!

 

NO FAIR!!!

DAMN!!!

馬大第12宿舍
華人熟食檔接令關閉

（吉隆坡12月18日訊）馬大財務處強制推行清真食物，導致馬大第12宿舍唯一華人熟食檔，被令關閉。

馬青教育局主任張盛聞指出，大學應擁有各族傳統食物，但馬大一意孤行推行清真食物，馬大第12宿舍唯一華人熟食檔終于12月14日被令關閉，並交由另一間公司經營華人餐。

他說，馬大財務處已委任一間新公司，提供中式餐。

張盛聞今日在馬青總部會議室召開記者會時，發表談話。出席者包括馬青教育局成員鄭錦騁與蔡易樺。

校方強制推行

張盛聞說，馬大于7月17日發函，勒令終止華人熟食檔營業權。翌日，馬大中華文化協會致函宿舍校長，要求保留華人熟食檔，並于7月24日獲得宿舍校長支持，事情告一段落。

“怎知8月20日，再接獲宿舍校長函件，勒令盡快關閉。不過，在中華文化協會協助下，校方答應讓熟食檔繼續經營，考慮保留。”

張盛聞說，12月3日，校方再度發函要求該檔必須結朿經營，須于12月14日前清理所有物件，否則允公所有物件。

他說，馬青教育局昨天（17日）接獲馬大華裔生投訴后，決定介入此事。

馬青教育局指校方
藉清真食物下禁令

馬青教育局主任張盛聞指出，該局堅決反對馬大校方，以不是回教食物為由，下令關閉華人熟食檔。

他說，據資料顯示，該檔口雞肉來源擁有清真証書，並雇用印尼回教徒佣人熟煮食物，所以符合大學條例。

他指出，馬青教育局無法認同大學，竟有如此苛刻條例管制食堂，令非回教徒在大學無從經營飲食生意。

張盛聞說，馬大第12宿舍擁有14個檔口，其中一個交給華裔經營並不為過。況且，馬大第12宿舍是華裔生最集中的宿舍，人數約600名。

他指出，馬青教育局要求馬大重新讓華人熟食檔，繼續經營，尤其是華裔眾多的第12宿舍。避免在齋戒月非回教徒沒足夠食物供應，而必須到校園外尋找。

讓學生選擇食物

張氏說，大學是容納各族的知識殿堂，應有開放及包容環境，不是為單一族群或單一宗教而服務，因此，馬青教育局要求全國大學檢討食堂條例，允許不同民族食物進入大學，為學生提供選擇。

“大學食物應以清潔、營養、口味及價格作標準。”

張盛聞建議，由各族學生評估及決定希望獲得哪些食物，並最受歡迎的食堂經營者應獲獎勵，降低租金以降低食物價格。
