White Poison Chapter 1 - How "they" became poison in UM

2010-03-30T19:32:00.013+08:00

This article is my personal view, and are based on my own reading, judgement, and personal communication with related parties.People keep saying - USM has started, UUM started, UTHM also started why UM can't follow them?USM started the "white coffin" campaign back 2008 when students managed to get their VC to ban the product.In UM, the scenario is a bit different. I was (and currently still am) a

A Passion for Dance

2010-03-12T12:35:00.003+08:00

Dancing have always been my passion, it's in my blood (i guess). I always have been doing dancing alone, so I could express my feelings thru my body. But things have changed after joining Tarian Kreatif. After dancing in Lingkaran Hidup, Rejang and Kalong, I've learnt a lot in life, met new and wonderful friends.Dancing in a team, requires different skills. We may not be the best dancer, or

October - the month of Actions!

2009-10-31T15:37:00.003+08:00

Came October, and now gone October. Just realized I haven't blogged for 2 months! Some friends even tease me "when is ur next episode of Scientific Expedition?". I just said, "I've got no time to write la". I now realize, that writing a blog, is not that easy, when you have too many things to share, and yet to many things to do. I always wonder, why I have not enough time? Was it because I'm not

Prime Scientific Expedition Voyage 2009 -The Story Begins

2009-08-18T17:06:00.001+08:00

30th JuneI boarded on a voyage, might be the only one in my life. KD Perantau was responsible to wave us thru the seas of Sulu and Celebes. This voyage, a memory i'll never forget - for both right and wrong reasons. I've seen things beyond my age, knowledge and understandings. Being on a navy survey ship, opened my eyes and changed my personal perception - on scientist and navy personels.Felt

EPSP 2009 - Leg 2: Layang-layang and Spratley Islands

Here's the sneak preview of the 2nd leg of Ekpedisi Pelayaran Saintifik Perdana 2009, which started from Labuan and into Layang-layang and Spratley Islands (Gugusan Semarang Peninjau). It was a great experience, being on a Navy Hydrography ship, KD Perantau and travelled miles and miles with limited communication lines. Now berthing in KK, where we scientists all stayed in hotels and i decided to

Regina Brett is indeed very wise !!"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.It is the most-requested column I've ever written.My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:1.

USM fiasco - fair or unfair?

2009-06-08T23:20:00.003+08:00

Lately, our first APEX university, USM made a big mistake in putting up a list of 8173 on their website as successful while it was supposed to be only 3599. What happens to the other 4574 who were mistakenly posted as successful?Well, at first glance, everyone would point finger on USM for the blunder. Everyone would felt the future of these 4574 students would be in danger. Everyone are asking

1Malaysia: Dream or Reality?

2009-06-04T00:16:00.003+08:00

1 Malaysia...that's the new goal of our nation, led by our Prime. Sometimes i find it weird. The more i read bout 1 Malaysia, the more i think. Can this be a reality? or will it remain as a dream that we'll never achieve?Think positive. This is the first thing we had to change. Malaysian always think negative. But on the other side, i think this reality will remain half a dream. Why? Because

Removal of 30% Bumiputra Equity

2009-04-24T23:21:00.005+08:00

Thumbs up for the bold move done by our newly appointed PM, Datuk Seri Najib. However, the big question mark is: Political move or benefit for the people? Lets view things on a positive side. Malaysian have a typical mindset - complaint. When the government make some good decisions, people will complain that this is just for political gain. But when they made a bad decision, people will complain

Death of BM or death of Science n Maths?

2009-03-09T01:01:00.008+08:00

As i was goin back to PD, i managed to catch a glimpse of what i call 'idiotic' protest. The protest, or better called as 'death procession' because of the fake coffin being carried while marching. I find this protest was a waste of time...and a mark of death for the future of science and mathematics in Malaysia.Massive protestors near KTM Kuala LumpurWhile catching a glimpse of the march, i was

There it is again, every year around this time, the nites in Za'ba RC will not be silent anymore. This is the time of the year, where Balai Za'ba will be transformed from a normal outdoor experimental stage into three different cultural houses. 3 cultural performances, for 3 consecutive nites all under one roof...there's no other place where we can find sumthing similar.Just imagine, the same

BM vs Hudud

2009-01-13T23:04:00.003+08:00

Lately, GAPENA are making a big fuss over the use of English in Science and Maths. They claim that our National Language will be wiped out. They even claim they would carry out a coffin demonstration to mark the death of national language. Personally, this is nonsense. The use of English in Science and Maths did help to enhance the knowledge in these fields. I was the guinea pig of the transition

Dilema - siapa aku?

2009-01-13T22:06:00.004+08:00

Aku muncul di dunia ini, seorang cina. Itu takdir, kita tak dapat lawan. Namun ku bangga. Bukan kerana ku cina, tapi ku anak Malaysia. Melayu, Cina, India, Asli...tetap manusia. Darahku merah seperti yang lain. Tapi kerana aku cina, aku terpaksa akur. Aku tak boleh cabar ketuanan Melayu, kerana itu hak mereka. Adil ke? Mengapa aku tak boleh bersaing secara adil? Pemimpin kata, Ketuanan Melayu

Goodbye, auspicious 2008. U have been a wonderful companion for me. I'll never forget what had happened throughout the times u were around. It all started when i decided to let everything go. Before i came to know u...i really had a bad life, infact the worse. Bcoz of u, i get to know, how to let go...how to put aside and to start anew.When i first embrace ur presence, i told myself, i'm gonna be

South China Sea Conference 2008 - A step closer to protect the marine ecosystems

2008-11-30T16:21:00.015+08:00

For the past week, I was away attending an international conference, South China Sea Conference organised by UM, together with MOSTI (Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovative) and MSMS (Malaysia Society of Marine Sciences). This conference is one step closer in creating transboundary and collaboration to protect one of the most diverse ecosystem, the South China Sea. It was held in Hyatt

Oceanarium in Mabul - is it worth it?

2008-11-19T16:44:00.009+08:00

I was shock to read the news in The Star few days ago, that there was a plan to build an oceanarium in Pulau Mabul. I personally feel that this idea is not just stupid but its worthless. The money use to build this oceanarium could have been used for a long term conservation. It was reported that a Japanese company would join venture to build so-called 'eco-friendly' building

Eddie's Wedding: The Mixed Malaysian Culture Detailed Story

2008-11-09T11:16:00.003+08:00

On 6th Nov, the biggest day of my beloved and only brother, Eddie Lau, (now known as Fahim Lau) as he would wed his beloved Arnida Arsam. Their wedding is simply special, because they had a three day wedding celebration with a mixed ceremony of the Malay and Chinese culture. The wedding started with a Malay culture of akad nikah and bersanding on the first day, at Arnida's house. I was

Middles Rock Expedition (27th - 30th Oct 08)

2008-10-31T14:14:00.006+08:00

I never thought that I would have the chance to be the first few ppl to dive in Middles Rock, after that area was given to Malaysia (and Malaysia lost Pulau Batu Puteh to S'pore). It was a risky trip, simply because of the time of the year where monsoon is hitting, and also it was spring tide where the current is very very strong. Some may think that this is crazy or some would say, "what do we
