Videos From Malam Penghargaan BSMM

Below is the multimedia show that was aired during the Malam Penghargaan BSMM last week. Contains the history of the Red Crescent + photos of activities organised by BSMM Cabang UKM throughout the whole 2007/2008 session. Wait..why wasn't my face in any of them? Professionally created by King Wai......Enjoy





Meanwhile, this is the video that I made. Well, after watching the above video, mine certainly look very amateur-ish. What to do? Just know how to use Windows Movie Maker only mah. It is suppose to be a tribute to our retiring Pengerusi, Tuan Haji MMM.

Remember to look out for the performance of Sook Man as the reporter.........PRICELESS : )

P116 : The Aftermath

The election is all over now & for those who have the slightest awareness of local politics, the results is nothing less than shocking. For the past few days, we have been constantly bombarded with political news, analysis, comments, speculations bla bla bla........ I think many of us are already weary of this topic. In fact, this is my 3rd straight post about the election. Anyway, I think I need to post something on the results of election here in Wangsa Maju, as some sort of closure to the previous posts.

A picture paints a thousand words?

For the Wangsa Maju parliamentary seat, PKR's candidate Wee Choo Keong defeated incumbent Yew Teong Look by a razor thin majority of only 150 votes!! I am so glad I registered & managed to contribute towards his victory, even though I predicted Yew Teong Look will win. I am glad to be proven wrong this time. When you lost even though you promise to built a new Chinese school in the area, then you know that the people here are really really pissed.

Here is a detailed breakdown of votes according to polling stations taken from Wee's blog.

Sekolah Menengah Chung Hwa
- Won by 268 votes majority -

Sekolah Ugama Kg Sungai Mulia
- Won by 438 votes majority -

Danau Kota
- Won by 326 votes majority -

Taman Ibu Kota
- Won by 98 votes majority -

Sekolah Mun Yee
- Won by 177 votes majority -

Section 2
- Won by 609 votes majority -

TAR College
- Lost by 152 votes -

Wangsa Melawati
- Won by 111 votes majority -

Postal Votes
- Lost by 1065 votes -

I certainly hope that this will be the beginning of a new dawn. Expect the next 5 years to be more colorful & exciting, meaning more political news, analysis, comments, speculations bla bla bla........*headache already*

Slightly off topic, the new Perak MB has been announced last night, it's going to be the guy from PAS. Erm...forgot his name already. 3 names (1 from each party PKR, DAP & PAS:1 Chinese, 2 Malays) were submitted to the Sultan to be chosen. Before that, everybody agree to support the new MB regardless of whoever got chosen lar. Of course, in the constitution also got a rule saying only a Malay Muslim can become MB unless the Sultan gave his consent to do otherwise.

So, the Sultan chose this guy from PAS. Then guess what? Lim Kit Siang got very upset & said that DAP will boycott the swearing in. Huh? WTF?

Here we are, still celebrating the victory of the opposition, but suddenly this guy Lim Kit Siang had to destroy our new found sense of hope. Why can't they just work together? Come on lar, the Sultan thinks the people are not ready for a non-Malay to lead the state. Also, the last time I check, DAP is supposed to be a multi-racial party wor. So stop being disrespectful lor. If it's in the olden days, can get beheaded, you know?

Just accept the decision. I know DAP got the majority of seats. Don't let the new found power corrupts you. If this is what DAP is all about, I am sure alot of Malaysians will regret their decisions to vote for you *sigh*



Update : LKS had retract back his statement *clap clap clap*

P116 : Vote Vote Vote

Today is the culmination of 13 days of intense campaigning. Today is when Malaysia decides & I am happy to be part of it, for the very 1st time. In fact, I just came back from voting (feel so proud *sob*).

My mum woke me up at around 8am. From above, we can see a long line of people outside the Section 2 school gate, waiting to go in. So, I hurriedly prepare & head down to my former secondary school.

It was just a short walk from where I live to the polling station. Cars already lined both sides of the road leading up to the school. Many of them, decorated with BN's flags.


A small crowd had already gather at the road leading to the school's entrance. We stopped by BN's booth to check for our voting stream. The guy that do the checking for me look strangely familiar. Hmm..think I saw him in UKM before (I couldn't care less anyway as I was on a mission)

After punching my IC number into his laptop, I was issued this slip. Since this was done at BN's booth, the slip had a dacing on it.


As I make my way towards the polling station, I pass by a line of aunties doing some last minute vote fishing for MCA's incumbent Yew Teong Look. Of course by then, I had already decided on who to vote for. From the pics, you can see where the PKR's booth is situated as well. Not many people were checking their voting stream there though when compare to BN's booth. The guy manning the PKR's booth was another familiar face, it was the uncle who sell keropok lekor in front of Yee Fatt.




I continued my journey after taking a few more pics. It has been so long since I walk through those gates. Back in my secondary school days, I used to duty in front of the gate catching latecomers. But as I step into the school compound, I realize that the school has changed. It look very much nicer now in bright yellow paint compared to blue in my days. My dad used to say my school actually look more like a police station ; )


Once inside, I go to my designated voting stream number 8 which was situated on the 2nd floor. My parents all vote on the ground floor. I guess they divided us according to age as you do not expect the elderly to climb upstairs to vote. The queue was actually quite short.


The voting process is the same as our university's election. They checked your IC, cross out your name, give you a paper to vote & you dump it into the transparent box.


The whole thing took only a few minutes. But I have to wait for my parents as they were still in line after I was done. My dad took the longest time because the queue was crazy long at his stream. I guess not many young adults were coming out to vote hence my quick exit.



All 3 of us walk back home after that. As I pass by the PKR's booth, the keropok lekor uncle thank us for voting & upon seeing me holding a camera, invited me to take pictures of their booth. I gladly obliged for sure.


After all had been said & done, we can only wait for the result tonight. Hopefully, the candidate that I voted for will win (I am not telling you who though hehe). And more importantly, a new dawn for Malaysia will emerged. If you know what I mean...... ; P

P116 : 1st Time Voting

The 12th general election is upon us & you see signs of it everywhere. Posters, banners and flags adorned every tree, bridge & road. You see lots of deep blue ones, some light blue & some green. Government propaganda started appearing in the media. Ceramahs being held everywhere.

I remember collecting those tiny flags when I was small. But this time around, I will be voting for the first time. Yay!!

I will be voting here, in P116-Wangsa Maju where incumbent YB Yew Teong Lok from MCA will faced off with lawyer Wee Choo Keong (of Lingam tape fame) from PKR. I am still undecided on who to vote for. Still sitting on the fence but excited nevertheless ; )

Traditionally, this is a BN stronghold & signs are definitely pointing to another term for them. Section 2 is filled with thousands of posters of BN, Pak Lah & Yew. PKR's presence can hardly be felt, drowned by the might of BN's machinery. Are they giving up already?

Their choice of Wee Choo Keong is a surprise indeed, considering he was supposed to contest in Bukit Bintang before the last minute change of mind. Parachuting so late into Wangsa Maju might not work so well in his favour. Even though a swing in Chinese votes is likely, news of Wangsa Maju getting a new Chinese school will certainly tipped the dacing into BN's side.

I managed to watched DSAI's ceramah in Wangsa Maju last Thursday here. It's very funny, witty and inspiring. He touch on various issues, even said that the opposition will lower oil prices once it came into power. Some people find that statement laughable, considering the soaring prices in the market (my dad included). But of course, that guy is smart & had a plan. He is an ex-Finance Minister after all so he definitely knew what he is talking about.

BN's slogan for this election is 'Selamat, Aman, Makmur'.They still have the nerve to use that as a slogan even when crime rates are on the rise? Now tell me, which one is more laughable?

PPC Simulation : Blood, Gore & Broken Bones

These are the pics of simulation (complete with fake blood) taken last Tuesday. I will let the graphic images do the talking this time around.

My CNY

I guess it's still not too late to blog about my CNY celebration this year round right?

I went into the holiday worrying about my mid-sem exam and Math assignment (it's true! it's true!). With the exam being held on chor 6, I had to revise in between gambling sessions. But when I went back to UKM, the lecturer told us that the exam had been postponed! Because Pak Lah came and hijacked our exam hall. Grr....Thanks for making my CNY so gloomy,En Zaki.

Nevertheless, CNY still need to be celebrated. Exams or no exams.

On New Year's eve, after the customary reunion dinner, we head down to Petaling Street for prayers as always. We will go to Kwan Tai Miu for prayers without fail every year. Roads leading to KL centre were eerily deserted. Almost like New York city in 'I am Legend', minus the zombies of course.

Temple's entrance. One step beyond & you will be teary eye in no time, due to the smoke.

It's not called Kwan Tai Miu for nothing, just look at the gigantic Kwan Kung knife on the bottom left corner of the pic. This is the knife I said I wanted to borrow (Wei Sung you better beware hehe) Managed to lift it twice & it's darn heavy.

Rows upon rows of joss sticks

My sis taking pics for her assignment with the Simon Yam camera. My dad acted as her bodyguard.

On the 1st day of New Year, we went to watch Stephen Chow's CJ7 at Pavilion. Watching movies during CNY had become some sort of a ritual for us in recent years. It's kinda funny but not in a classic Stephen Chow kind of way. In fact he is serious throughout the movie. No wackiness from him *sigh* But, at least we can be thankful it won't be as bad as another CNY movie, Himalaya Singh * shudders*

Lanterns along Bintang Walk. Pretty Pretty.

We even saw some guys in a break dancing battle just outside BB Plaza. Quite a crowd, eh?


The 2nd day were always the most lucrative as we went to visit my mother's relatives. While I spent chor 3 going to my gf's hometown in Semenyih. Before I knew it, it was back to school again.....

Wangsa Maju - Dangerous?

I was meeting up with some of my friends the other day,when one of them,Kenny, told me that a guy was murdered near our secondary school bus stop. The victim-a mentally ill guy that we often saw wandering around Wangsa Maju. I was not able to determine whether it was just plain rumours or not but he adds that this place is not that safe anymore.

Seems like Wangsa Maju is getting well known for the all the wrong reasons these days. Personally, I feel safe like I always did growing up here. No bad experience whatsoever all these years (not that I would like to have one). So, is the situation really that bad?

Hmm,I dunno lets see....

First, the murder of a student near the LRT station by snatch thieves. And then, the attempted rape of a KTAR student by a security guard. Then, Nurin was kidnapped from a pasar malam in Section 1, creating major headlines & massive uproar. One of my friend was even robbed at knife point inside a cyber cafe!!

Sign erected after the snatch thieves incident

With all these incidents happening, I wondered what the police were doing. Instead of giving me saman, maybe they should do something more useful like preventing crime? Last time I check, crime fighting is still their duty, in addition to clearing roads for VIPs, drinking tea at mamak stall & cruising around in white Wajas.

Hopefully, I won't be reading about negative news originating from Wangsa Maju anymore.
