I love exam period!!

Sorry, I am not crazy and not stress till I say something crazy like that..
Indeed, the most time I can use it without taking consideration so much is during exam period...
Why?

Daily timetable:
Wake up,wash-wash
Breakfast time!!!
Pack things and go to old Can A or Library to study
Lunch
study again
dinner
game/facebook/study
sleep at 12am...

I really like this period because there's nothing for me to bother about except study...ya, study is quite boring and sometimes you really want to vomit because study is really a disgusting job for us...no offense, we have to study to solve the question in exam!!

Anyway, I like exam period but I am not crazy ....Once More, I stressed :"I am not crazy!"

Thinking of going home so soon, I think I need sometime to arrange all the things here before I go home..
If those things are not perfectly arranged, I will be in a big trouble!!!

Just be cool when handle this kinda stuff!!

Sabah unveils RM3.3bil budget for 2010

By MUGUNTAN VANAR


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah unveiled an RM3.3bil budget for 2010 with a thrust towards eradication of poverty, conservation and people-centric infrastructure development projects.
Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman in unveiling the budget at the state assembly Friday said that the budget was seriously committed to carrying out development and to bringing about progress to the State as well as to the people at large.
He said the overall thrust of the budget was to strengthen state finances, improve public sector delivery system and productivity, enhancing development and infrastructures as basic amenities and human capital development and improve rural development programmes to ensure quality of life and poverty eradication.
In tabling the deficit budget, he said that the budget proposed to spend RM3,304.38mil in 2010 though they expected a lower revenue of RM3,127.65mil for 2010.
He said the state revenue would see a drop to below RM100mil from forestry for the first time in 37 years but expected a revenue of RM962.48mil from state sales taxes on oil palm and lotteries among others while royalties from petroleum was estimated to be around RM724mil.
The state was also expecting RM544mil from proceeds of the issuance of Sabah bonds for its revenue among other sources of revenue including land premiums.

“The deficit is not a problem, most years my budget has always been in the deficit and it has not been problem in meeting our commitments,” Musa, who is state Finance Minister, later told reporters.

He said the government would spend RM1,109.83bill for new and continuation projects in the state followed by RM264mil.78 for social projects and RM79.49mil for general administration sector.
He said an allocation of RM248.42mil for human resource development including skills and spiritual training that would produce a knowledgeable, competitive and innovative generation.
Musa said that the state government would strive to establish two more sustainable forest units in Ulu Segama-Malua and Tangkulap-Pinagah reserves.
He said sum of RM83.14mil is allocated to Forestry Department in year 2010 for sustainable forestry management and conservation programmes.
The state government was also allocating a sum of RM524.25mil in the 2010 budget to boost the agriculture sector development that included fisheries, livestock and irrigation.
The state budget also allocated a special payment of RM500 for civil servants while also putting stress on the further development of tourism in the state.


well, the sentence which I italiced is really astonishing...saying that deficit is not a big problem.?!!
I say.....deficit is a big problem and that's why Sabah is keep falling behind others states and it is called one of the poorest state in Malaysia!!! What an unwise management in finance.....Timmy...go and drag Musa Aman down.....

How to stay awake in lecture theatre ??

Honestly, I am having a miserable semester where I cannot fully focus in the studies and the events I handle.

Outside the lecture theatre(what we call is LT) , I am really energetic and do anything I want.
However, in the LT, I can't stop making myself falling asleep especially after lunch time!!!!
Shit!!! Anymore vulgar language I want to spread ?!!! I just can't focus in the class and now I really mess up my whole year 2 studies!!

I need some stimulus to make myself alive in the LT....
Got someone told me to drink Yomeishu...which is a good solution to my problem, anyway, I am not really interested in buying those because I am not that old to consume it.
Is sleeping late at night got to do with it?


Last few weeks, I conducted experiment on myself and it proved that when we sleep late at night, we will easily fall asleep after lunch time especially in LT...can't focus anymore and then, just no more energy to continue. Plus, after lunch time, I don't know what happen anyway, the stomach tends to be warmer and make me feel asleep. So, such experiment conducted tells me that, if I don't eat lunch, just eat fruits, maybe can make me stay awake in LT...

Secondly, the professor's voice is another factor that can cause sleepiness....
Low frequencies sound...especially in Civil engineering courses, all the professors are man and their voice are damn low....low frequencies sound is hypnotizing!!!!

While high frequency is better a bit but still cause me to sleep in the end....(@$%%@$#@&)

So, currently, I am still struggling with this problem...I won't let this happen next semester and I am sure that, this semester all subjects taken sure die....

Actually, everything's facilitated in Malaysia just....

Be frank and I am just direct to the point here....

After reading Tun Mahathir's blog, so many comments on the Proton....which in his thought that the sales had been an increase in this few months....well, I just want to see how good is that because what he saw on the street is not based on the actual fact or statistics...(even statistics also deceives)....

Ok....here's the point....
Malaysian telecomunication plus broadband services- Many friends...suffer so much for the broadband offered by TM and other broadband services....Digi, Celcom and Maxis I bet, they have blazed their path in this service after struggling with the streamyx and here's their own market now....
Anyway, Screamyx...quoted by Jonnerson.....Do you know why? Yes of course...Just look at the name and you have a rough idea what he wants to say....slow...sometimes not stable....and let people scream!!!that's why called Screamyx rather Streamyx....I have no idea why the broadband service in home country can be like that? Is it regarding to any human resource problems or technical problems?? I hope this will not happen in the coming 3 to 4 years....(if not, 2020 will be very hard to achieve)

Malaysian products- The blog from Dr M, told me a lot about what has happened recently....and one of the recent thing he posted was the Proton's stuff.....
I am not that care about which brand I will drive on road in the future..as long as there's a car for me, that's it!
Well, according to many people, Proton......SUCKS!!!!That's the conclusion....
Why? Technology problem or technical problem again? No idea...I have no further discuss on this....put some comments if want to discuss...haha..

So, from the title....actually, everything's facilitated in Malaysia are just MMD.......MMD---> Ma Ma Dei....
Every intellectuals in universities in Malaysia do realize the problem. However, as usual, no action, no consequences!
So, the intellectuals (after graduate,pls la.... )should contribute themselves to the country and develop the country into a new era...though is hard to do that....as long the government is still protective....we cannot do anything further than that.....

It's simple....

It's simple....
I just want to see my mum's will to be fulfilled...
She likes to cook and I know...I know she wants to share what she can do....

However, not everything runs very well recently and she is forced to close down the kopitiam....

It's disappointing for her...I know it...
When I was 10 years old, she owned a stall...small one of course in the market..
She sold the rice and dishes to the public and that moment was when before my grandmother got anything to do with the sickness...

She was happy to be like that....
She sold....she was happy...I knew it...
What she couldn't really handle was my grandmum's health condition which was getting worse from day to day...

She forced herself to close the stall..it's sad for her...and today, she needs to do that again...but not with the same reason fortunately. However, I just don't like to see her cannot do the things she wants the most....

I suggested to her to move back to Api Api there because it's in the centre of KK and it will be nice for everyone....Perhaps, she knows that if got extra manpower for her, she will continue the business....

A controversial concept

Last few days, I heard from my senior that they will have an open book exam in the coming final exams.

According to their news, since they need to rely on books in the work field, so the lecturer simply gives them an opened book exam instead of closed book exams.

Now, I wonder whether all exams will be conducted in such a way since everyone will do like that after graduation. So, what is the point to have a closed-book exams?? What's the point to memorise so many stuffs like those formula that engineers appreciate so much??

I never think of that before since we are born to take the exam. Nope, we actually are not born for exams!!
So, why do we need such an examination? When I was young, I still remembered what my teacher told me. The exams are for the overall assessment of our homework progress. Good to say but fail to implement a better policy. Why are exams so important that everyone scare of it and some people would start to cry when they were looking at the results slip?

There should be a rational behind it..In primary schools and secondary schools, exams are so important that they are required to be taken to assess your progress and be prepared to take the public exams such as SPM and STPM. This one I can accept that everyone of us needs to be consistent in our progress and be prepared to take the public exams. But, actually, what's the point to have an exam that closed-book and then make students suffer for memorising so many things....especially history!!! Understand nothing but memorising is the thing they are doing.

In working life, many engineers or doctors or other professionals also refer to books when they encounter a problem. So, why don't we treat the exam like a new problem that we encounter and we approach in an appropriate way? Opened-book exams, definitely is a proper way for university students.
For secondary and primary students, they have to be trained to fully utilise the brain so that they can have a better appreciation in what they are learning.

Exams are not a proper way use to assess a person's progress. Assignment in other words, really a nicer way to be conducted. In countries such as Australia, they emphasize assignment more that exams because they realise that the exams cannot be a absolute determinant of the progress of a student. Subjects like engineering, medicine , sure have a way to have assignment in a suitable way(to be decided by the course coordinator of course).

Unfortunately, I have no idea why the countries like Singapore and Malaysia stress so much in exams and make students suffer. Students actually are not born to take exams. We are born to learn!! We are born to be assessed in another way but not exams. For some students, exams are good, because they can know and understand how far they understand the thing they learn but majority of them end up professions as profs because exams are blindly theories. Some students prefer assignment because it involves a lot hands-on stuff. For me, both can be taking into consideration. Exams should be weighted lightly while assignments can be a better determinant for it.

What a piece of controversial article. Exams or not? This one really non of our business...

中秋+地震

hm...1st of all, I would like  to wish everyone here( those who browsing my blog, or those who are busy with their assignment and never drop by a message for me...) Happy Mid Autumn Festival.

It's such a long time didn't type anything here but in the other place sure got a lot of comments....
2nd year of Mid Autumn Fest in Singapore....the difference is nothing is different from home. Because as we look up the sky, we are looking at the same moon.....We are looking at what other people also looking at, including you, my friends....

Anyway, it's been hilarious because it's 1st time ever, I have experience something different from home country....Surviving in the earthquake....not easy huh...
Well, I am too exeggerating it....In Padang there, there's a 7.9 in Ritcher Scale earthquake and it was spreading over the whole coastline of Singapore and West Malaysia.

At first, I did not notice any difference of earthquake because I never had it before seriously!!
I could feel my two big butt shaking and shaking for so long (for 2 mins, I suppose?)
Then, there's something wrong because it couldn't be my own problem...My butt's muscle would'nt shake for so long due to muscle strain or what medical term is that....kejang...deng...
keep shaking until I notice that the wall also in the vibration!!!

I was panic and then, I directly post in Facebook and said:" earthquake in NTU...." ??well, after that, the news said that there was a 7.9 big earthquake happened at Sumatera....
It's not fun actually. However, after this event, I am sure what earthquake feels like...at least not my buttocks are shaking ....(as I am sitting...ok....)
