Time to Change

For those who have been avid players of Counter Strike,
here's a reason to change - a better MMOFPS.

This is a game unlike any other.
Actually, it's a combined rip-off of several games,
like Call of Duty, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, Ghost Recon:
Advanced Warfighter...

Just to name a few.

Check it out, here.

But overall, it looks nice.

H1N1 Pandemic and The Public Awareness

H1N1 Pandemic and The Public Awareness

Apparently, our world is undergoing a hardship due to the outburst of H1N1 diseases… The disease seems to be spread in a neck-breaking speed all over the world and of course our beloved motherland which has a highly mobilizing society will never be the exceptional case as such... Day by day there will be a tremendous number of visitors and tourists visiting Malaysia and nevertheless Malaysia students that study in oversea who returning home. So, It is not so hard to understand and theoretically of sound mind that transmission of virus can easily invade through the defense system of our country in spite of the various precaution measure that had taken by the authority. No matter how you try to stop that, either demanding tourists to fill the health report or placing dozen of medical staff in major airport of the country. It’s just like finding a ring in Atlantic Ocean or fighting in the losing battle!

Despite of the big response from the government, I myself as a normal Malaysian never take it seriously since the term of “H1N1” introduced 2 months ago. I believe that most, if not all of Malaysian will have the same feeling like me and undoubtedly stand beside me when asked. We are all whom have gone through the horrifying SARS pandemic in 2003 and feel that our country will always be the lucky one where hardly to find the life-threatening diseases spreading widely on our land, just like what we have experienced since that.. But incidentally, the truth has proven that we are all wrong… Just look at the hiking number of locally transmitted cases and the escalating death number due to the H1N1 and relating complication. Hospitals are crowded with patients along with flu symptom seeking for medication, schools that had been shut down in line with disease outburst, numerous schools, public service department and higher study institution which still struggling in dilemma, on decision whether to be closed or not. It’s full of chaos and mess now and we seems to be in the hot soup due to the lack of public awareness and proper preparation…

So what’s now? Shall we still think that it’s not our problem and continue to hold government to account in all of these? Once again blame the government on not doing their obligation well? Although it’s undoubtedly that the government play a dominant role in stopping spreading of H1N1, but all efforts will be end up in smoke without public alert and awareness in such context. In light of this, efforts to stop such disease will always be a herculean task for the authority since the habit of concern about ourselves has not been cultivated. Who will be the one responsible for your own health if not yourself? Again, there is still the same festering problem of our society--- the take-it-easy habit that forged since last century. And obviously we are the jail-bird regarding to this no matter in what happening in our country, but not only the prevention and precaution of disease instead. In view of this, when will be the time to take initiative for a betterment and great chance, Malaysian??

Where to now?

(Extracted from my blog)

Life has been a very funny thing for me. From the time that I was born, I've never worried so much about life. What's going on around me never seemed to matter much for me as a toddler, as a kid, as a teenager. I was oblivious to everything, anything, except for playing music, sports, reading...etc.

But I'm sure many of my peers would agree that lately, it seems like we've hit a brick wall, a very thick one, so thick you could literally commit suicide by banging your head against the wall. Of all the problems we've solved previously, none matched the dilemma this road block has to offer. And that is... "What next?"

It's just one simple question and it may had already caused many sleepless nights for some. For the first time in our life, reality finally hit us, and it hit us hard. We've grown up now, and emerging from this once safe place of adolescence, now to us a cocktail of uncertain fork roads where to opt for the wrong path could lead to many more uncertainties in life.

"I want to be a doctor"... "I want to be a lawyer"...

Of course there will be some people who may give you a clear answer for that question when you ask them, they seem to be sure, almost. That takes a great deal of courage, for to set a definite path for yourself is like betting all your money in a hand of poker, you can't really go back, there's only forward. Usually these are the peoples who end up being very successful, or they'll end up working in a job they don't really like with a boss they hate to their guts.

But what if you don't have an ambition? Does that means you're doomed to fail too? That I don't know. But I can tell you one thing, taking life one step at a time is not proven formula for failure, in fact there are many tycoons out there who were once so aimless and so poor in life that you'd thank god you have a better head start. Then again, those were just the success stories, what about the other millions who were also aimless and poor? Were they as lucky too? "Life is cruel." "Life is unfair." That's just a few of many forms life takes up in front of us. 

So to ask "what next?" is very unfair and cruel indeed to us. We're just starting to get our freedom to choose and here came what might just be the most important choice we'll ever make in our life. I've read this somewhere, it saids that what defines our life in the future is what we do between the age of 18 to 22. It's true in some way, some people made it through and had never looked back since, some people screwed it up and became a person who never see the light again.

So... Yea... Where to now?

流行性

现今社会，很多流行性的东西，特别是病症。起先是非典型肺炎(SARS)，接着是禽流感，一直到现在的A型流感 {A(H1N1)}。

这些病症一天比一天严重，真是令人不禁感到害怕。害怕，何时会发生在自己身上。

最近，浏览极多人的部落格，发现到一种比A型流感 {A(H1N1)} 还要可怕的菌种。那就是，心情低落型流感 --- M(S2P1)。。。

M(S2P1) 是英文的简写。。。扩写就是 Mood(Sad,Sorrow and Pessimistic)。为何呢？让我解释。。。

我浏览的部落格，几乎都是以悲观主义来发表。。。无论是在那一行，情、爱、事业、家庭。。。这种流感的确是比A型流感来的严重。

心情低落型流感 - M(S2P1)的症状，想必大家都了如指掌，再从温一次吧！

-心情极度悲观，发表的帖子超过一半是悲观主义
-帖子让浏览者担心，以及让人想给予安慰、临时关怀。
-对别人的安慰总是连声道谢。
-浏览者、朋友给予安慰后，会说“别担心，我没事。”

我7-2Q世界的医务与研究人员目前的报告是如此。如果你们有以上任何的状况，请莅临附近的心理辅导诊所。此外，请经常往乐观的事情去想。请记得经常微笑，因为微笑是免费的，它将陪您度过心情低落的时候。

在这里，我身为7-2Q世界的主宰，我想向大家说：

“美丽的景色是为开心的人存在的。当你们没有足够的钱购买快乐的生活时，你们就笑！笑是免费的，它将伴随你们度过难关。”

给我们的信

社会事件与种族主义之反思

连串哄动社会各界的社会事件,接连不断的示威演练...却被串连成同一个陈腔滥调的普遍出发点....

当赵明福离毙命事件,雅思敏病逝, 反内安法令示威一一浮出台面的同时,来自四面八方社会角落不同的研看法与立场也随之出现...但所见观点却永远游走在种族主义悬崖的边缘, 每一宗在这土地上所上演的事件总能在最后与种族隔阂扯上关联。

就好比最近赵明福,一起离奇坠楼案件,无可避免引起众人的揣测与猜想..每个人都会有想要知道真相的欲念。但无论知识水平有多高, 社会地位有多显赫的我们, 再如何显现出无私包容性的我们, 总像难逃宿命似地以本身的利益与族群立场基础, 推想着附合自已要求的事件演变, 并将之奉为无法挑战的真理及事实。我们更多的想要让自已所想的变成事实, 尽管理由连自已也许也无法被说服。这所谓的事实却往往与种族思想挂勾, 或者说一定在某层面上与种族脱离不了关系。就在事件发生的第三天, 某主流马来报章发表批判性言论, 指控华裔社会就明福死亡事件所提出的质疑为挑战马来人权益与能力之反叛行为, 所给的原因是所有包括反贪委员会, 警方, 验尸官, 法官, 检察署等都是以马来人为主导。所以质疑当中任何一方的办事能力等同否定马来人的能力。此等毫无逻辑可言的攻击性言论固然为华社所不能接受, 也是同受明理马来社群所严词谴责的。

但难道华裔社会就没有半点以族群为出发点的思想及思考模式吗? 倘若今天发生坠楼事件的受害者是来自马来社群的话, 华社会引发如丝轩然大波吗? 中文报章会如此大篇幅的报导, 促起社会各界巨大回响吗? 当然明福的记者与反对党领袖助理的身份占据引起争议的大比重, 一个将为人父与新郎的明富也成熟为华社悲愤的关键。但无可否认我们身为华人却也站在华社立场上对事件进行思考。这思考方式当然不会止于单一事件, 因此也就会造成当有任何事件发生华印社会就毫不犹豫地牵扯到族裔关系的习惯。相对马来社群也如出一彻地将所有事件想象为有意侵犯特权的行为。

无论如何, 这一在多元种族国家人民常发生的现像似乎也在我国看似无可避免地继续发酵着..追诉起国家的历史, 英殖民时期的分散治理, 各个以族裔为条件所组成带表各自社群利益的政党, Dato Onn’ Jaafar以各族同一政党同一理念瓦解种族思想隔阂的努力之挫败,各族长年累月先入为主的猜忌, 演变成今日因肤色与文化合异或”种族” 二字无法坦诚接受彼此为自已一部份的困境。反观现今, 部份虽已了解瓦解种族分隔思想重要性的政治人物, 却为了眼前政治利益抓住人民思考弱点, 煽动远离并憎恨他族, 方能捍卫自身权益。这无论在华或巫裔政党都历历在现。问题就出现在一开始就以种族为基础的政治结构与社会管治上。眼看社会各政策, 资源分配, 教育, 人文, 艺术也都以种族褂帅, 社会和谐与互相接受也难以实现。因为这生活上的一切都将不断地提醒自已与不同肤色的朋友区隔, 人民将不断告诉自已 “我是马来人, 他是华人” 或 “我是华人, 他是印度人”…华人将不断主观认为马来人操纵了权力, 马来人也不断控诉华人掌握经济。毫无疑问, 我们凡事现入为主互想猜疑的中心思想将延续, 我们的后代也会将彼此隔离, 就算到了独立第二个五十年, 第三个五十年也都一样…我所说的是我们, 是包括所有在这片土地上长大的我们。不是kami而是kita的我们…要想改变一切, 塑造一个互相接受并真心包容的社会, 就得从最根本的国民思想教育开始做起….

当种族问题不再是敏感话题, 当 “种族” 的字眼在你我的字典里消离, 当所有种族为基础的规定不再成为你我的围篱, 当我们相遇时只会想到用马来西亚人介绍自已, 当我们站在同一片天空下呼吸着同等的空气, 当我们清晰地知道…我…就是你…..
