Assistant Returning Officer
So, when was i last blogged? Not that long ago, at least when compared to the previous hiatus, this is considered good enough...
So i was recently appointed as the Assistant Returning Officer in the Annual MUISS Election, well one thing is this is one of those very little job that MUSA will pay u to work, other time, u work for free... especially when you run for election and elected as officer bearers, there is no chance at all that u will get paid for wat u did... So no complains there... other then being very bz on top of my already bz schedule.
So i was officially appointed on 1 May 2008. Work started immediately coz there no time for us to slack... The election was already passed all the timeline according to their constitution... WAY PASS it... so we rush it and get it done as soon as we could.... and i think we made it thru... as i am blogging here, im actually working in the Polling Station with a laptop i loan from my uncle (An iBook G4... AWESOME Condition - Lousy Touchpad... but no complain... it gives me the same working environment for me as at home)so wat i was trying to say that we are going along fine... so far... because it hasnt end yet... voting counting is later at 2pm...
Election Election Election...
There's always politic and its always dark and dirty...
This brought me back to my memories when i was ran for MUSA in year 2006. Luckily that time i have my fren's support namely Tim, Sooks, Jane and the people from SPEAK 2006 (Trudy, Darren, Kate, Dahlia, Yvonne, Zhen Hui, Taha, Zhen Yao and many more... ) if not i wouldnt have survived even the election because it was so "dark and dirty" People close to me would have known wat happen to me (SOYA BEAN)... and yeah... that time was reli dark and dirty...
however, i think its some sort of a trend that in either MUISS or MUSA election, there's tend to be some sort of cheating or imbalance between parties... because there's always issue coming up.... people shooting one another... (not literally shooting but politically shotting) parties complaint each other... this and that... they fight thru the technical mistake they did and they did not focus on getting more votes to win... but i wont say that its not a strategy but.. rather unethical.
I was fortunate enough to be assigned to manage the complains (well... im well known to have memorized the constitution and regulation by heart)... been in few hearings... but sad things is i found that all these are so... technical fault... i wonder if i was the one that did not pay attention or was it reli not happening that the Malaysia General Election or any other country, we dont see these sort of complain and election tribunal coming in to rule something out... mayb it was just me overlooked this part of the election or it's just not published.
You dont see in Malaysia General Election that any candidate could be restricted from campaigning but that happens in MUSA and MUISS election.
Anyhow, i do wish everything goes well i could go back to my own work to keep eveything in schedule... i have one more presentation on next wed, one report on next thurs and a major assignment on friday... that cost me 25% i think...
till then,

A Random Overheard Conversation
Well, its a fact that the knowledge of ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION in Malaysia is growing but it is still not high enough...
but wat i overheard this morning, really hit me bad that ppl are still not aware of the consequences of their action and it does seems like they are taking any initiative to make the world a better place.
Scenario: From Monash Car Park Walking in to Monash University Sunway Campus.
Place : At the GATE of Monash University Sunway Campus
Person Involved : Monash University Sunway Campus Security, 3 Random Student.
What i heard start from...
Security: " Yeah, why they build it there, i suggested that they build it by the longkang (Monsoon Drain) so that after you smoke, you can just throw the cigarettes butt into the parit (Monsoon Drain)"
and it ends there... (it didnt took me long to walk pass them , alrite.... and have u forgotten, it was just OVERHEARD, i did not purposely spy and listen to their convo)
Abit of background info..
The monash carpark is divided by a Monsoon Drain and is again connected by a bridge so we could walk over.
It does not look good for student to smoke right outside the gate so the Uni proposed to have a smoking area (Universities in Malaysia are gazetted non-smoking area).
So, i sorry to say but why are the security personnel having such mentality?
I have never look down on ppl according to their job, i tot security guards would at least have some sort of conscious knowing that at least wat we as a person should do to protect the world... but apperantly not...
It's reli sad that when u look at other countries drain, most of it are actually clean even the water flowing LOOKED consumable. Im not just saying becoz that im a pro-other country ppl but i actually experienced it. when i was in taiwan and hong kong, drains are better kept and pollution, at least to my eyes are less...
if u walk around in KL and notice all the drains, it would be HARD that u do not spotted any foreign object.. experience it..

Karangan Bergambar , 看圖說故事, Directed Writting
Alrite.... a short post for now... been QUITE bz for some time... and has been procrastinating also... i mean on blogging... coz academically im not that procrastinate yet... hahaha
now.. simple and short... there's picture and i wrote someo SHORT note for those pictures... to compensate those days that i din blog but those pictures were meant for this blog...
The 2 pictures above was taken on 9/3/08, a day after Malaysia 12th General Election, where our ruling party had been sent a very big "gift"... so what will come to ur mind when u first see this? To me... it seems like there's no tml and ppl are stocking up to avoid going out...
"Fear of the declearation of EMERGENCY State? "
Nah~ Malaysia is still as peaceful as always... in some sense... hahaha
Now, this was taken from my new car road tax.
So now the government is earning money from both side? One from the Rakyat(Citizen) and the business sector?
It seems to me that government should not have favors any company that are generally not GOvernment link companies (GLCs) coz ethically i think it is not fair for those who did not able to "advertise" in such great place... and MOST PROBABLY (im not saying it is, so dont sue me) that the company got the advertising space by pulling strings....
And after all, these kind of official government documents should always be free from any advertisement or anything that are not related... Imagine if ur passport suddenly got Masairline or airasia logo... wat would it be like?
If so happen ur driving licences strat to have these kind of insurance company advetisment wat will happen.
If your birth certificate starts to have StemCells company advertisement wat will happen ?
if you MyKad (National Identity Card) starts to have " Feel like you are being threaten? Dont worry, our lawyers and solicitors are always ready, please call, 03-9543481X" to get legal protection"
That will be hilarious... and i wonder wat i will reflect on us when we are in other country... Other countries authority might ask... "Hey mike, are you trying to fool me by giving me your biz card??hahahahha"
Those are just example... u can come up more with that? hahaha
and now... chinese customs... has grown to be more "down to earth, close to home" ... just for example there's a day in our chinese custom is that we go and pray homage to our ancestor at the graveyard and usually, we bring lots of stuff to "give" them that includes food, beverage etc etc.... and also not to be forgotten, those fake money and all sorts of things... it has evolved since last time and now, credit card, passport, air tickets and etc are all available ... the denomination for those fake money has grew larger and larger ... and even some takes the greenbacks as template... hahahah...
above is a 500000000 hell notes dollar... but DO YOU NOTICE THAT... it was written in english as One Thousand Dollar ?? so tell me, is my maths sucks or wat? 500000000= 1000 ??
hahaha i found that in Pasar Malam... and cant resist to take a photo of it...
First, i need your understanding...i yet to know how to roate pictures in iMac... sorry...
i need to translate anyhow...
The advert above stated... Students will get a discount of 15% ANYTIME at Kim GaXy Restourant in Sunway Pyramid... (任何時間，任何時候）tell me if i din get the chinese correct... as in those chinese words are not referring to ANYTIME
bcoz... when question about the discount on one fine weekend nite (being another cheap bastard uni student), the waitress told me that, "Oh, im sorry, we dont have it at weekends" and i was pissed, so i asked why... she replied... "Oh... it says anytime "WHEN THE ADVERT IS UP ON UR TABLE"...
freaking hell... which part of the advert actually says that... i promise... if i graduate and dont find a job in 1 month time, i will file a court order to them man... hahaha
Well, this has nothing much to say.. just a new ambulance that the Civil Defence had equiped them with... its been long since i have waited for new ambulance because frankly speaking... the old wans SUCKS... hahaha... cant disclose much.. ask me for more info
Lastly, this is a picture of ridzki handling the syringe with egg albumin contained inside ready to be injected into a mouse... like this photo, dont exactly know why... but it reli looks good...
ok, that's the end of today's blog... i know i din blog for long... so compensation ok ? hahaha
till then,
roger out

of Holidays
There goes the end of the year, and here comes a brand new year!!!!
Christmas and New year are always refered to as holiday season for no reason.... i guess regardless of which part of the wrold you lives, end of the year are always holiday season. That leads me to conclude that "people trave during the end of the year " and that "tourism sector earns the most at the end of the year" i could be wrong, as i judge by my experince which is so little but yet sufficient.... contracdicting... yes... yes...
Most of the time, holidays are spend with family members... even if u travel, you travel with parents more often... (or is this just another "Asian/Chinese tradition")... but as for me... hmmm... hardly?
So... if you are not well infromed, i come from a very small family... a family that consist of a father , a mother, and an only child.. which so happen to be me (duh~~~)
and thus, i donoe if that's the reason... i dun travel with my family too often... reason being...
1. My ideal of holiday is, travel in groups of about 5-8 but less than 10... so with a family of 3 members... that cant be achieved.
2. Mind you, im from a typical-traditional chinese family, bonds between parents and child are not that strong, it just sometimes feel awakrd.
3. Activities that i could do during travelling are limited... my parents are not young, niether are they aged until they can hardly walk, but just like roller coaseter and stuff like this... they wont be going up on a ride with me anymore... not like those small kid roller coaster they used to bring me to when im young... they could take a ride with me in those but not those that i could still find excictment in....
4. odd numbered family member... most of the time when u travel, it's best it's in pair... so things can be done in pair. like most of the activity required... even not pairs... it's usually even number and not odd number
well if 4 reasons above are not sufficient... i could provide more... butjust not at this moment.
That's why i have hardly travel with my parents since i was in secondary school... frankly speaking, i couldnt even recall the last time we actually travel as a family.. i think it was kuching when i was like 7 / 8 ??? well of coz driving to ipoh, penang johore, singapore... i din count that as travel... i donoe why... mayb they are just too near and most of the time we go there with something official biz to do and along side with travel... (travelling is side dish) also these does not requires passport... yes yes singapore need... but i have stayed in singapore for about 3 years when im young... so singapore to me are just like... erm... going home (feels like) and it doesnt gives me the feeling of travelling...
my dad will be back for CNY and mum has asked to plan a holiday... stil figuring where to go .... i have langkawi in mind... but the tot of wat to do there... just... keep me wanting nothing more...
shall continue to think then....
*bored* Working*

of Working and Masters
As pointed out by huixin :" an update, finally"
Guess that this could be a rountine again since i have a computer lab class every friday which i really doesn't have much to do... Question is, why cant i just update at home? (That was a question with no answer) and afterall it all depends on whether if i have any topic to expressed on.
Are there no others option other than working and continuing your studies after you have finally graduated from a university recieving a Bachelor degreee? I guess there are really not much option... if u say you could start travelling, but how long more before u actually used up your money (or your parent's money).. if you say venture into business, doesnt it consider as working again? Thus, conclusion of this will be, wokring should be the most probabe exit of graduation. Yet, it is often reported that graduates now are not able to get a job after graduation, why is that so ?
My focus here today are not on the reasons of gradutes not getting job or wat even im quite worried that i might just be the rest having the same attitude problem but that's beside the topic before i actually make up my mind if i were to continue my studies or to start working.
Despite the common exit is to get into the job market and start contributing to the society (or so-called) and earning money at the same time, yet part of me will like to continue studies after 18 years of not-so-good nor not-so-bad studies.
Studying a degree in Medical BioScience could be rewarding and yet depressing... rewarding in terms of gaining in terms of knowledge and it's afterall what i like, but wat is depressing is that the job scopes are rather tiny, on top of that, the career advancement that im much looking forward to are just way too tiny...
*Paused during class, Resume a day after at home*
well i was saying... the tiny career advancement... it's reli hard for me to accept the fact that i might be a laboratory technician in a lab for the next 10 - 15 years... with mayb a 100dollar increment a year and nothing else, such as any breakthru or climbing the ladder of career... that's all i guess...
but on the other hand, if i reli choose the path of academician... how many of u can actually imagine me as Dr. Chan in like 10 years time... i have to admit that im not a very good person in academic... so... hmmm that's an option to really think about also...
guess i'll just end it here and get back to my lunch...
