Manglish

Malaysia English (or also known as Manglish) is the most interesting product of the multicultural and multiracial country! I'm proud of myself lah.

LOL

Contentment

What is contentment? It is a state of being satisfied with what you have. I believe that we should bear in mind that there are always room for improvement even we are contended. After having a quality conversation with my friend today, I truly understand why kiwi lifestyle is so much different compared to most of the countries in the world.

We used to live in a place that keep us from content with what we have. Everyone (including myself) has always influenced by surroundings or media to be demanding. For instance, when a girl look like celebrities, specific lifestyles, marry a rich man or earning more money then will make her very happy. What is the problems with us now?

I never seen any youth in kiwiland (so far) using smartphone in comparison with most of my friends in Malaysia. You can see the rich kiwi wearing torn shirts and jeans like a normal people walking around the town, there is not much people carrying branded stuff in contrast with what we normally see in Asean countries. Kiwi (New Zealand people) are contented with what they are having now! It is the main factor that they have a longer lifespan and younger look!

I think the main problem that we are all facing now is lack of self confidence. We often being brainwash in the materialistic world that money can buy happiness. The only method to overcome this problem is to do the human revolution in order to determine what we want in the life despite of other influences. It is important to differentiate what we "want" and what we "need".

Frankly speaking, sometimes I will feel some disappointment after I came to kiwiland for 2 months. Unlike the stable working schedule as I expected, as a result I pokkai. Hahahaha. Then how can I save money to travel and to do the things I want as I imagined? Then we spent rest of our time/holidays rotting in a super small town to waste our working holidays.

BUT wait, I am feeling happy right now although everything is out of my expectation. I never knew that the tiny mini small town that I am currently living is soooo beautiful espcially the wharf and beaches. It is more beautiful than anywhere else that I have visited so far.

Moreover, I had bunch of lovely friends in the small town! A bestie or roomie that we share every moment together. A housemate who share with me many adventure stories. A super duper childish friend that have the power to cheer me up. A teacher that have many insightful thoughts. A blackface that can really smile and sharing his lessons with me. A pair of lovey dovey that can crazy with me. A bro that we can talk everything under the sun. A friend who is really eager to earn money. A bunch of cooking-mates that fattening together. And many kiwi ama/agong to crap and have fun! Look, I am really appreciate and thankful for what I have right now.

Last but not least, I want create value and beautiful memories in my remaining two months in the beautiful kiwiland. Take my time to adventure, explore and discover :)

马来西亚大选2013

今天早上知道反对党在这届大选输了。一开电脑，Facebook简直被黑暗笼罩，好像earth hour，到底发生了什么事呢？

然后就开始阅读新闻，才发现原来我们大选为全世界表演了精彩的魔术，可以把不可能变成可能！

看到那么多新闻，照片，短片。我很伤心失落，眼泪不禁的掉下。我难过的不是哪一个政党赢了大选，而是我们政府为什么使了那么多肮脏手段呢？我感到无比羞耻。这不只让全世界看不起我们，更重要的是这给了年轻一代的我们一种错误的教育！到底公平正大还能打败势力和黑暗吗？我们可以向谁讨个公道，法庭法官律师真的会维持正义吗？

我看到我们首相发布了＂华人海啸＂的言论，我的心如刀割。这届大选公正党回教党赢了44个国会议席，火箭党赢了36个议席。这证明了不只是华人希望看到改变，其他友族也想要改变！不是说好了一个大马，1Malaysia,不是说好大家一起和谐生活，不分你我的生活在我最爱的榴莲国土吗？为什么这场大选结果只是＂华人＂海啸呢？为什么要煽动种族课题呢？我希望这次经验能我们马来西亚人更团结！

我和大家一样都想看到改变，给新政府一个机会，如果做不好下届可以再换，有竞争才有进步嘛！

但我对换政府只抱着49%的期望，为什么呢？因为我身边很多马来同学都非常支持国阵。我们这小部分的中等生活阶级，专业人士当然希望看到改变。但不要忘记还有大部分的乡下的人民根本没机会接触电脑，没机会知道政府做了什么。还有一部分的中上阶级的人靠现在的政府吃饭。不同人有不同的立场，其实我们真的很渺小。但请不要忽视这渺小的力量，只要凝聚起来真的可以变成很强大的海啸！

我知道我们这次改变而换来更肮脏腐败的政府。我知道大家很伤心，但毕竟胜负已经是个事实。我也在被单里窝了超过一小时，我在想我们到底除了在Facebook换黑色的大头像，不停抱怨，还有向联合国请愿，我们还能做什么呢？

1.更强大的反对党

我对政治党派等都一直保持中庸的态度。想要打倒现在的政府就要有很清晰的目标和信念。因为我看到的是一个很脆弱的反对党，还有很多内乱和信仰等问题存在。这是唯一让国阵一直死咬着不放的漏洞。

不要临时抱佛脚。不要等到大选才搞campaign。现在就开始更关心人民，尤其是乡下的朋友们。让他们知道政府做了什么，让他们更了解我们国家！只要证明给人民看到强大的反对党，让我们更有信心成长，必定会有更多其他同胞想要ubah!

2. 国际选举委员会

看到了这次的手段，马来西亚真的需要一个完全不被政府控制的选举委员会！一个第三团体介入！不然我们国家将会变成哈里坡特的hogwarts魔法国界，根本都不需要大选了嘛！唰一下魔棒，又是同一个政府！

3. 我们坚定的信念

我很感动我们这次的大选投票率高达80%！虽然反对党输了，但这已经足足证明了人民的国民意识已经提升。我们已经开始成熟而不被牵着鼻子走。这可是迈向先进国的象征呀！

这次大选也紧紧连着我们改变的决心！看到有些朋友对大马澈底失望，要移民，弃权公民等！醒来吧我亲爱的朋友们，这届大选的成绩并不是结束而是崭新的开始！要知道国家政府是不同的东西！我们的国家是个多么资源丰富，没有天灾的美丽国土。我相信只要我们还呼吸，就有可能换政府改变！

国阵从2003年的198跌到2013的133个议席，所以不要放弃呀！改变并非一朝一夕，印度最伟大的领袖甘地可花了32年才取得独立呀！所以我们都要给大马一个机会改变！在法庭上诉都得花上10年，我们这五年很快就会过去！所以不要再说你要放弃马来西亚公民，移民，不投票，失望绝望等！

只要有改变的信念，我们一定可以给我们下一代更好的榴莲国土！
