The Blaming Game
First read it from a fellow relative's blog, and then received a chain email on the identical content. Find it very entertaining and witful, so decided to blog it down on this entry.

(Malaysians will find this joke particularly funny LOL. My Singaporean friends, if you do not understand any part of this story, you may just ask me personally, I'll explain to you =) )


When Dr. Mahathir was Prime Minister of Malaysia


One lousy day in the middle of the economic crisis, PM Mahathir was feeling extremely frustrated and wondering how a neighboring country can be doingbetter than Malaysia . One of his aides said, I heard that the leaders consult Feng Shui masters to ensure prosperity for the country.



Dr Mahathir thought if that was the case, Malaysia Bomoh also can, and went to seek the top bomoh's advice in the country. After reviewing the case, the bomoh told Dr M that there were 2 things that he must do :


Bomoh : Step 1. You must blame the crisis on SOROS for everything.


Dr M : But Why ?


Bomoh: Because SOROS stands for 'Speculate On Ringgit Or Stocks'. You must blame him, and look at ways to control the ringgit and stock market.

Bomoh : Step 2 - You must get rid of ANWAR.


Dr M: What! why him?



Bomoh: Because ANWAR stands for 'A Nation Without Any Ringgit'.

Dr M: But how ? This is most difficult to do, he is popular with the people.


Bomoh : Aiyoh, you bodoh lah! Look at your name, MAHATHIR. Make Anwar Homosexual And Then Highlight It Repeatedly.


Kudos to the person who authored this joke, it is just so brilliant.

7 Days, 19 Days
To my first day of commencement of work, hence the starting of my second major phase of life.

But I guess, this will not be a clearly working phase, as formal education would still be underway. Plenty of lessons will still have to be taken, and I definitely have much more to learn at workplace. More about scientific research and closer to my dreams.

Haha... as some of my readers might get panicky after knowing what 19 Days means, I would choose not to reveal its reference. :P Hehe so excited about it, will not release my photon for a while.

唉,好穷啊

9 Days
To the beginning of a new major chapter in my life. All that I have learnt in my last 15 years of life will be put to use for the first time. Or is it much more learning than from the books afterall?

Trying out choreography for boogie today proved to me over and over again how idiotic i am in terms of the coordination of my limbs. To achieve the similar effectiveness for the same steps, I probably have to work a few times harder than my group mates.

Still have a few major administrative protocol to undergo. Namely medical examination and PR application >.<

In such Uncertain Times
People of the older generation has been constantly advising me against going back to my home country owing to its current uncertainties in its political situation. Such situation is of course taking the accompanying toll on the economy and for each year the country stays in such a standstill, the country would require at least 10 years to recover to the current level. And that's not even talking about moving further so to say.

I think if there's only to be one cause for a country to rot, that has to be corruption. It has been proven in the history from time to time how disastrous rampant corruption can bring to lead towards the downfall of a country or dynasty.

I have been staying out of the country for the last 8 years, but doing this has been directly affecting my feelings I have towards the country I belong to. And as uncertainties and chaos looms, I just wished I could lend a helping hand and contribute to the society as a loving citizen. But I nevertheless feel completely helpless. For one, my personality is definitely not suitable to venture into this, and it just hurts seeing the place that you love slowly moving backwards after a few decades of miraculous developments.

Where has our Vision 2020 gone to? Now, is money and power really so important, such that the interest of an entire nation could be so much affected just by the conflicts and struggle for personal interests among the veterans who are the expert in playing with these two commodities?

And now I have nothing else much to say.

Can't Believe
That I could still make so many new friends at this juncture, and it is just to heartwarming getting to know them better.

That I am officially graduated since 11 July 2008, and now having completed at least the first important phase of my education life.

That all the university days and going crazy over trivial stuffs we find exciting will be gone.

That I am turning 24 in 3 months.

That I finally could take part in the Championship.

That I am joining the workforce and see more of the real world so soon. (Countdown: 18 days)

That I will be financially independent pretty soon. (Countdown: 52 days)

Dear friends and family, thank you so much for all the love and care.

Now, can I make the last leap of difference for myself?

A New Phase in Life
is going to begin soon. Exactly how soon? Currently I don't have the answer. Probably will get it tomorrow.

First ever permanent job in my life. Hope I can live up to the expectations.

Vocal Obsession 3
I was not part of the actual event, but I took part in the preparations and its organization. Liaising with the external venue provider has certainly been an experience. Think the entire exco would understand what I mean exactly.

Guess it's all fated that I did not get to eventually participate in this last concert of my formal education life, but I am pretty sure it was a blast. Looking at how all of us put in our effort to make it a success, I could already smell it clearly when I saw them at the rehearsals before I left for Melaka for an important family function. All these are fated, I believe. And I have made my choice, so I have no regrets or whatsoever.

I just feel so so pleased about the very hearty debrief session where everyone else got a little emo I think. But all in all, I am glad that everything turned out well.

Resonance is not merely a club. We are one big family. A Family of Passion and Dreams.

In NUS, I did find a place where I have such a deep sense of belonging afterall.
