Nothing is impossible


Dream come true:Small little girl gets to meet the Digi's yellow men

Well personally I believe that “Nothing is impossible”. If you have strong spirit of determination, your dream will come true.
Well, let me share with you all the news that I read. This is just normal news, not really hot news. But I feel like want to share with you all about the news that I read.
Well I believe that most of the Malaysian had been watching the Digi advertisement in the television. Once the yellow men appear we know that this is one of the mobile phone's coverage companies in Malaysia-Digi.
There is the cute and curious small little girl who calls Rachel Chan, 7 years old. Because of the Little Rachel Chan had been so enchanted by the yellow men on TV that she wanted to meet them. So the seven-year-old wrote them a letter. Because she watched the Digi men in the TV that the Digi men liked to follow people. She is welcome the Digi men follow her to come to her house and follow her to school. While everyone think that this is impossible and just a little small girl are trying to make a day dream.Well, surprisingly she got her wish. The Digi men really appear in front of her at her house and follow Rachel going to school. This is much to the envy of her schoolmates who were assembled in the hall.
Imagine the little small girl also has the determination to achieve her dream then I wonder why we cannot achieve our dream as well. As long as we are willing to take a first step further to achieve our dream like the Rachel Chan writing the Digi men with the letter. I think that your dream already success for the half way.
Well that day for the Rachel Chan end up with happily by dancing with their ‘boing-boing dance with the Digi men and thousand-odd students.

Students...


Well last week the SPM and STPM results were out. Some of students feel happy with their results some of them might not think so. All the hard work is given out just because they wanted to get the good results to be shown in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia( SPM )and Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia(STPM )results slip.
I noticed that the trend of taking more papers than required for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination is getting seriously. This trens started only following the introduction of the open certificate in 2000. Personally I don’t get any point why students have to take more subjects.
The school authorities said Science students could take Arts papers. It means that students are compulsory to take 12 papers required for Science stream students and these students can take additional Arts subjects if they like. However students have to pay themselves the exam fees for the extra subjects.
Some of them think that taking additional subjects was just a matter of interest. Science stream students may be wanted to take Accounts in case their wanted to do it as a career. But it must be hard for students to balance between studying and living.Taking more subjects seemed like students are trying to commit suicide. Students are taking the risk. It is pretty hard for students to manage their time well. Besides this students take more subjects simply because about their ‘kiasu’ attitude. Students nowadays are just blindly following the trend for taking more subjects. This is simple to show that students are ‘kiasu’. They may just want to prove they can do it, some may just want to see how they fare and some simply just want to test themselves.
Well I think that we should not just look at the results. What is important is for the children to learn life skills.Life students just know to study but don't have life skills is just like we are eating burger without fries.

Malaysia boleh



Malaysia Boleh! Yes, hope that It is not too late for me to congratulate Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong for their excellent performance in winning the All- England Men’s doubles title at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham last Sunday. This is certainly made all Malaysians feel proud of it. They should be rewarded accordingly. They played the game excellent. Their performance is a sign of a revival for Malaysian badminton.
I hope that Malaysians people will be simulated by their achievement. I hope that the win will inspire others to emulate their example. Work hard and develop your potential to the maximum and achieve excellence in what you do.
Even though we don’t have best facilities and the best coaches in the world, but if you lack the drive and the determination, all hope of winning anything would have already been lost. The key to success is simply about the passion and desire to win.
By this achievement I hope that we can show to the world that we can do it as well. We can train to churn out the best sportsmen and athletes in the world as well. Be proud to be Malaysians. Show the people in the world we are made in, Malaysians, so that we may really be proud to say Malaysia Boleh! I do hope that other Malaysian athletes will build up the Malaysia reputation in the world that we can compete in the international arena, to bring glory to our country.

Corruption in Malaysia

There are things in the world that we can not deny about. Among the ethnic in Malaysia, Chinese society is the most people getting involve in the corruption compare to the others. This has become the Malaysian Chinese society “culture” in involving this unmoral activity. According to the survey, the percentage for Chinese society involve in the corruption activity for last year is about 58%, Indian 23%, while Malay society is the lowest among the other which is only 14%.

It is understood that people would not try to get themselves involve in the corruption if they have a choice. Try to ask yourself: “Who will like to pay unnecessary money to the other people?” If the situation is not allowed then people only will try to do whatever they can (even break the laws) as long as they will not get into any trouble. I can see why a policeman for example would accept a bribe to let someone go free - they are often underpaid and extra cash is always a tempting prospect. There are several reasons why people are engaged in the corruption.

First, people think that corruption is to avoid any incontinence. People don’t want to get into the trouble if they think that money is the root to settle for all problems. Second, people will pay less than the actual amount that they need to pay. Third, people want to avoid in any complicated process such as going to the government organization to pay for the ‘saman’. This is rather waste of the time.

To achieve the vision 2020, we do hope that we can have a clean, good and corruption-free Government and an administration that provides high quality and excellent services.
