Love your Life as how it is

There're a few things to be thought of if you wish to live a happy life instead of a grumpy, ignorance one. Upon all, the most important thing would be: (quoting from Rayner) "Why everyone keeps gossiping about me?" There's a saying: if one person gossip about you, it might not be your fault; BUT, if everyone is talking behind your back, you might really need to think deeply for the reason. People won't crap stuff that does not exist and put it onto you for fun. If many of them start to talk about you behind your back, you should know that SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT ABOUT YOU! Yes, Y-O-U! Not that they're mean or they just love to gossip but most probably, you're the one who has had problem that could be the topic for people to gossip around.

No one is perfect in this world. So, never think that you're right in everything you do. Never think that you're such fantabulous in everything you do. Never let your ego step out too much. Humble is what teachers always taught us to be during school days. What is it to be ashamed of to be acknowledging that you're wrong in some way? You should just hide yourself from the world and live your happy life, thinking that those who appreciate you are true friends and those who are backstabbing you are annoying devils. Stay naive and childish as you like. And many will open wide their eyes to see how deep you'll fall when you step out of the education-receiving compound.

Not only that, why don't you learn to see the world through the positive lenses and stay optimistic? Why must you blame the pressure you have had? Why must you blame the world or God for having bad luck? Why must you blame others for what they have and what you do not have? Why must you blame others when things happen? Come on~ You're not forever a child. Why can't you deal things like an adult does? Why can't you learn to see from other people's perspective and learn the way they think? It might not be easy, but once you learn so, you'd definitely live a happier life.

Lastly, learn to accept other people's advices and suggestion. Don't ever think that you have had the greatest idea of all on everything, either academically or about fashion and stuff. You might not appear as what you thought you are. There're millions of people having higher IQ than you are, not to say EQ. So, what is it to be proud of academically when exams are just memorizing facts and you act like an idiot in daily livings? You might think that you dress really well or having such nice hairstyle, but you never know that people are laughing off their heads at your back for your funny ideas on yourself. Why don't you just open your ears and listen? Try to absorb the advices, apply 'em on you and see if the changes are good. No harm to try, right?

Stop complaining about people mistreating you. Stop complaining about you're living such miserable life. Just stop complaining. Life is to live and enjoy, not to wasting your time telling yourself how bad your life is and keep complaining about it over and over again.

One Malaysia

What is One Malaysia? One Malaysia is an idea which has been inspired by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to overcome racial problems and issues. This idea is about uniting and integrating all citizens of Malaysia from all races and religion into one track towards peaceful and harmony Malaysia. It is to grow unity among various races in Malaysia based on particular important values that should become habit of every Malaysia citizens.

Nowadays, certain of Malaysian citizens sort themselves according by their races. Thus, it will lacerate the solidarity and create a gap between races. Furthermore, some of our people are only socialize with their own race and they were unlikely to be friendly to the other races. These factors are also adapted into our local economy sectors.

For an example, The Chinese employer will only hire Chinese employees to work in their company. As a result, Chinese are now dominating the commercial fields in Malaysia. Plus, it also caused other race such as Malay and Indian to have less opportunity to work in this field. Besides, it also causes our country become divisible and are not completely united.
To succeed the idea of One Malaysia, firstly, we need to understand the concept of One Malaysia. One Malaysia concept is based on the point that is to achieve the ‘developed country’ status as being suggested in Wawasan 2020, the main condition is a strong and stable country and this can only be achieved when all the citizens unite.

One Malaysia is the continuation agenda to build the country. To achieve development to the country, citizens need to be developed first, and this is started with molding the ‘accepting’ attitude between races, that leads to strong unity. When the unity achieved, national development process will run more smoothly. Other than that, in order to achieve One Malaysia idea, we need to understand too the bases of One Malaysia. There are few main basic of One Malaysia that we need to understand fully.

The first aspect is the application of unity cores. This is to apply the unity cores as the part of culture and habit of Malaysians. These unity cores are the basic components that strengthen the spirit of unity among various races in Malaysia. This unity core is supported by moral values that should underlie Malaysian lifestyle.

The second core is application of aspiration values. Aspiration values that are stated in One Malaysia concept is the values that should exist in our progressive and dynamic society that will drive our country towards achieving developed country status. These aspiration values will help in producing citizens who are able to compete efficiently in global surrounding, thus helping in increasing our country’s economical health.

As a conclusion, we should strongly agree with this idea of One Malaysia, and we as the citizens of Malaysia need to unite and become one in order to achieve One Malaysia, thus leading our beloved motherland towards peaceful, harmony, unity and integration among all different kind of races and ethnics in Malaysia.

HOW TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE

Healthy life is the steps, actions and strategies one puts in place to achieve optimum health. Healthy living is about taking responsibility and making smart health choices for today and for the future. There are many ways that you can do to live a healthy life.

The first way is drinking plenty of pure water. We must drink 8 glasses of pure water every day. Drinking enough water strengthens the immune system, promotes weight loss, improves the skin, and carries waste from the body. Drink spring water from a trusted source or tap water that has been filtered to remove chlorine, lead, and fluoride.

Second, we must limit our carbohydrate intake. Learn about the glycemic index and avoid carbohydrates that are too high on it. This includes potatoes, corn, grain products, baked goods, sugars, and other sweets. Stick to low- and mid-range glycemic-index foods, such as non-starchy vegetables, greens, nuts, berries, beans, and fruits.

Food is very important to live. If we eat healthy food that means we will have good stamina to do hard work. Food gives us energy to do work. For work food is very important. Therefore, if we eat food which has vitamins, proteins, iron and other important nutrients then we will be free from diseases. We have no deceases can enjoy our life and take interest in their work. Keep things in proportion, such as maybe eating a light healthy breakfast and lunch, and then having a slightly heavier food for dinner.
The fourth way is getting enough sleep. Sleeping better can help the body replenish all the energy used. As the body sweats it produces more fluids cleaning out the system and making it fresh. While the body is at rest, your brain organizes memories, muscles are repaired and restored, and the immune system is rejuvenated. The seven hours sleep will boost creativity, improve your mood, and even decrease your chances of obesity.

Exercising regularly is another important part to a healthy lifestyle. We should exercise a minimum of 3 days a week for about 20 minutes. This does not mean that we have to have a strict regiment of exercise in our daily schedule. An easy way to attain a nice amount of physical activity would be to begin going for walks with a friend or even a pet. It is also good to stretch before we begin any kind of exercise. It can be done at anytime and in the comfort of the person’s home. Exercising is a big confidence boost enough and makes your body feel good and look young.

Finally, we must avoid bad habits in our life. Bad habits can be a variety of different things including smoking, drinking and drugs. These substances are bad for the body and can shorten a person’s lifespan by a considerable amount. Smoking blackens lungs and lowers the immune system. Long time use can lead to cancer and other disabilities. Drinking affects the whole body in a negative way by shutting down different parts of the brain. Drugs have some type of negative effect on the body to where it does not operate as it usually would. It can even have fatal effects depending on the amount used. All of these habits have a negative effect on the body and should be avoided.

Assignments piling up but not the mood for them

Assignments are piling up as high as mountain for now is the peak season of assignments due. Not to forget to say that final exam is around the corner. That idea freaks me for now. I've no idea what did we learn so far in all the courses except for some phrase structure, semantics, semiotics, Web 1.0 2.0 which I have no freaking idea what it is about in depth, some professional terms which I don't give a damn like quantitative research, qualitative research, etc..... *gosh* Now I know how far behind I am compared to those paying attention in class =.="

Anyway,though assignments are pushing me into the corner of the wall,my mood is still not lighten up. Why oh why? I've no idea at all. Maybe I just don't like those freaking courses taken this semester. Three assignments due next week, none is completed so far. So? I'm so gonna be dead meat starting tomorrow night @_@ Well,no matter how,I'll still survive to the end =D *no worries*

I'm still unsure of the date to go back home after final. Planning on a trip back to Malacca once again, this time, to A' Farmosa which I didn't get to go in the previous trip. But I doubt on my financial state for the trip. Well,I guess I'll plan it thoroughly once the three rushing assignments are done ^0^

I guess I'll put an end here for now. It's 1AM in the morning and I still need to complete certain parts of the assignments before my 2AM curfew is here. Lastly,I'd just like to say "Tolerance and harmony are two important lessons to be learned if people around the globe are to stay together

I won't forget....

I won't forget how you could recognize me, no matter how I changed, no matter how my hairstyle is;
I won't forget how you would always remember my name and yet you couldn't remember my brothers', because of the Alzhemier's disease;
I won't forget how happy you are, every time we went to visit you;
I won't forget how wide your smile is, every time I called you;
I won't forget how many edible stuff you had stuffed us with, whenever we were there;
I won't forget how you asked us to stay overnight, every time we went to visit you.

I'll always remember the funny communication we have had with my broken Hakka language;
I'll always remember how generous you are in giving us sweets and Ang pao;
I'll always remember all the mouth-watering cuisines you had made when you are still healthy and fit;
I'll always remember your shaking hands and weak legs, due to Parkinson's disease;
I'll always remember your look and your voice which seems so loving.

Though we were never closed enough; Though you never tell us stories of your past,
But there's still a bonding between you and me.

Today's the forth day you've left, and yet, I could not get over the feeling of lost.
I felt sorry from the bottom of my heart, for not being there for your last journey.
I'm so sorry, for not going back for your funeral, when everyone else was there.
I feel bad for days about this, and I feel worse day by day.
The only thing I can do is to pray for you, in my religion way.

I won't forget and I'll always remember that I have such a kind-hearted grandma.
I love you

What is it to show off?

I've no idea why do some people love to show off with their intelligence? Does possessing extra knowledge makes you proud and arrogant?
I just couldn't bear to hear nor look at these arrogant peacock.

A simple question not even addressing to you,and yet you're anxious to answer in your arrogant tone. Do you really think that this would amaze people?
Yes,it might in the past;but not anymore.

There is nothing to be proud of regardless what you know; There is nothing to be shame of regardless what you do not know.
So why do you have to compete with everyone to show that you're mighty?
People would just label you as the so-called "kiasu" instead of giving you applause for what you know

There is nothing wrong to be smart or hardworking, but there is something wrong when you try to act proud and talk in such impolite manner,especially to the elderly or respected person.

So,what is it to show off?
~This attitude would not bring one far

Corruption

Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Everything in this era revolves around the decisions made by powerful people in society, particularly governmental people and politicians and many of them resort to misuse power for personal gains such as money, luxuries or even more power. This means that corruption could make you gain a lot but it also means that you deprive certain people of a lot.
How do we reduce corruption in the government by incentivising government employees? First, increasing emoluments of government workers like polices and judges. Make it so attractive that losing the job is the bad news.
The above can be done through a system of incentives.
1) Make a percentage payable to the concerned department for every project that is completed on time and within budget. This money will be distributed among those in that office. (This will prevent the wrong contractor being given the job for monetary considerations)
2) Give judges an incentive for each case that is settled within the allocated time
3) Give polices an incentive per 100 lodged and a bonus for each year where there is less than 1% cases that have not been solved. The bonus is given to that police station where the distinction has been achieved. (so there is an incentive both to lodge FIRs and to solve cases). Every Police station has to try its best to meet both criteria.
By this, we can incentive our government and make it a very lucrative and paying job and make the government more efficient. We can also remove black money and increase tax collections. Politicians will be less likely to be corrupt since their election funding is taken care off. They are less likely to use bride to win elections since the police will not support them anymore. Politicians will focus on thinking of better projects to win elections. But beware those who remain 'corrupt'.
Finally, by the strength and cooperation from everyone, we can achieve our goal of a corruption free Malaysia. Thank you.
