One Life..DO SOMETHING! =)

My best weekend in Pahang thus far. Normally my weekends in Pahang would be spent rotting in my room. But this weekend was special! One Life hits Kuantan! I was able to experience one of the best exhibitions ever. This was an exhibition like no other. While other exhibitions are normally filled with boards of pictures , this exhibition was truly different.

This ONE LIFE exhibition gives you the opportunity to take a walk in the shoes of HIV/AIDS patients. In the exhibit , you will feel , hear and see what it is like to be a HIV/AIDS victim. This exhibition is an effort by World Vision and other partners to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS victims throughout the world. They have already been to a few countries and are now here in Malaysia.

I have to admit that prior to this , HIV/AIDS was not something that I would have been worried about. Honestly, I thought that the numbers were small in Malaysia. Was I ever so wrong. There are over 70,000 people affected in Malaysia alone and those are just the reported cases. Sadly , this statistic includes children.

Moving on to the details of the exhibition , there were three different stories you could experience. Each one was different from the other. You have the option of walking in the shoes of Srey from Cambodia , Jothee from India or John from Malaysia. If I had the time I would have gone for all 3. Sadly I was in a rush so I could only go for 1.

Anyway , I got to experience the life of John from Malaysia. Apparently he is from Kuantan as well ( I study in Pahang for those who do not know). So I guess it made the whole thing that much more realistic. I could tell you the story , but it would be nothing compared to being there yourself. So why don’t you make a trip down to the One Life exhibition the next time it comes to your town.

This exhibition really has the ability to touch the hearts of many. Hopefully through this , people will learn to be more concerned and not fear HIV/AIDS victims. They are humans too , don’t isolate them out of our fear of HIV/AIDS. As the saying goes , we fear the unknown. If we know the disease , it is not all that scary. Look up the disease and do your part today. This exhibits makes us look at your own life and realise how lucky we are and yet we take it for granted. You have ONE LIFE, do something useful with it and help them lead a normal life =)

Made In China

Products from China are popularly known for their cheap prices. Whenever something is cheaper than the other stuff on the shelf , “must be from China” is the first thought that hit everyone’s minds.

Due to the prices , these products are often considered unsafe and of low quality. However I think that this is a rather unfair perception. Let me take electrical products as an example. There are those brands from China which you could get for half the price of branded items like Sony and Hitachi. When it comes to safety , both this items come with a one year warranty , meaning that after that you are on your own should anything happen. If China items are indeed that lousy , how are they able to offer the same warranty given by branded companies? As a matter a fact , with it being half the price , technically you automatically get a 2 year warranty. Truth is the price is low due to their overwhelming population making labour cheap. If you noticed , most branded items are made in China as well ;) Just imagine their profit margins!! =O

As for quality , perhaps the quality is not up to par with branded names. However at times , we really do not need that extra quality. Furthermore , China products usually beat branded names when it comes to incorporating the latest technologies in their products. Most would say that the reason for this is that branded companies have to do research and copyright their ideas which takes time. China brands are said to just steal the results of the research and manufacture the items without copy righting their designs first thus making them able to introduce these technologies so much quicker. Well even if it is true , it does not really affect us consumers does it? All those procedures are a corporate thing. The important thing is value for our money right??hehehe =P
Admittedly China products have proved to be a failure in several occasions. However let us not judge them solely by their mistakes. Try looking at the advantages as well =)

The Ugly Malaysian

Do not fear , we Malaysians have not fallen to some genetic abnormality that makes us physically uglier than the average human. We have only became uglier habitually than perhaps half the human race. As dramatic as it may sound , it might still be true.

One of our most prominent habits would probably be our timing. When we say 7.30pm , it is always 7.30pm isn’t it? YEAH RIGHT , maybe 7.30pm in another country!!hahahaha =P May it be meetings , classes or appointments , punctuality is truly hard to come by in our country. The bad part is that no one is doing anything about it. Then there is the worse part where people starts assuming that others are doing it and therefore decides to be fashionably late as well. It almost seems like there is no cure for this disease.

Do we not realise that time and tide waits for no man? Oh women , it does not mean that time and tide waits for you alright?hehehe =P Okay, back to serious issues. Every second wasted can be used for something productive. If a million people threw a second away , we would have lost a million seconds , which is 16666.667 minutes , which is 277.77778 hours , which is 11.57074 days!! Imagine the productivity we have lost in a blink of an eye. Hmm...perhaps this is the reason our country have fallen so far behind other countries.

It is a good thing we are not the GMT (Greenwich Meridian Time) or the whole world might slow down!hehehe =P But we actually have GMT as well. The “Great” Malaysian Timing (GMT)!hahahaha =P Let us all play a part into making it GREAT Malaysian Timing WITHOUT the “ “ symbols shall we?hehehe =P

P/S : I know I am not the most punctual person. But I am trying! hehehe =)

It is not always the P to blame..

Road laws in our country require that all new drivers be placed under probation for 2 years after passing their driving exams. This means that new drivers will have a P license and a P sticker on their car. All this connection to the alphabet P has made us new drivers (YES..I am still under probation...but it is just another 2 months! hehehe =P ) famously known as “P drivers” .

Ever noticed this thing on the road where if a certain driver does something reckless like a sudden shift of lanes or making a turn without using their indicator lights , any observers' first words will be “must be a P driver”. Okay , maybe occasionally there will be a few curse words before that line , but the point is somehow or rather the blame tends to fall on “P drivers”.

Is this discrimination of “P drivers” really appropriate? Perhaps “P drivers” are responsible for some of the acts. However, the prejudice attitude is really uncalled for. Just because we are under probation , it does not mean that we are lousy drivers.

Fact is , in certain ways “P drivers” are better drivers than “CDL drivers”. You may think , why would someone so experienced lose out to someone without experience? Well it is true experience plays a part in making us a great driver. However ,remember the saying pride goes before a fall. Being so experienced , “CDL drivers” have the tendency to be overconfident on the road and therefore ignore certain things like checking the side mirrors before switching lanes. In addition to that , “CDL drives” need not worry about the withdrawal of their licenses. “P drivers” on the other hand do not have such a luxury with fear of being new on the road and the risk of losing our license to the authorities. This in turn makes us more aware of the way we drive, making us safer drivers.

I hope I have managed to somewhat alter your perspective on “P drivers”. Please remember that it is not always the fault of the “P drivers” when accidents happen or when another driver does a reckless act. =)

guilty till proven innocent??

INNOCENT TILL PROVEN GUILTY , a phrase we often hear when it comes to the law. You may be thinking why the sudden mention of this phrase. The thing is we see news of crime on a daily basis so we would tend to notice the procedure of the prosecution.

One main thing that caught my attention is how a suspect is thrown into jail pending their hearing. Understandably this is done with the safety of the victims in mind. I have nothing against this procedure whatsoever. However I can’t help but think how this deviates from the principal of innocent till proven guilty.

The principle would suggest that anyone should be treated as a free man until there is sufficient prove to prove that he or she is guilty. However , isn’t throwing a suspect into jail before they are proven guilty contradicting with the principle?? If the suspect is indeed guilty then it wouldn’t really matter. But what about those suspects that are actually innocent? Imagine being jailed for no apparent reason. The time wasted , the personal humiliation , disgrace brought to the family. These are all items that cannot be replaced. How unfair it would be for the innocent suspects.

Lastly , I would like to make it clear that I have no objections to the current law procedures. I just feel that we shouldn’t give empty promises. If we can’t free suspects , change the principle to GUILTY TILL PROVEN INNOCENT.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

When you come to think of it..aren't friends actually like autobots??(yup..the autobots in the movie TRANSFORMERS!!!hehehehe =P) Whenever we needed a little push , our friends become the greatest springs ever that could push us to do anything...If we needed someone to fall on , our friends turn into airbags that could break any fall..When we needed guidance , they would be there as amazing counsellors..I could continue to list the things a friend could transform into , but the list would be almost never ending would it?? (SEE!!!a friend can transform into more things than ur average transformers!!hahahahahaha =P ) To simplify things , a friend is someone who will always be there for us in any form we need them to be to help us grow and be someone better in life. Without friends , life would be a difficult thing to go through. So appreciate your friends and never take them for granted =)

P/S : the role of a friend has to work both ways!!so transform for your friends as well!!hehehehe =P

You think you're patriotic?

Now if you ever had to make a choice , would you betray your family , friends or country? Given the choice , betrayal will definitely not be an option for anyone. However , the fact is the question is putting us in a position where we have to choose. Now this is not an easy decision for anyone to make but if I had to , I would betray my country.

It is not something I would be proud of. However , the fact is we tend to take the easiest way out in life. Sad to say but betraying my country would be easier than betraying my friends and family. Reason for this is quite simple actually , we face our friends and family on a daily basis. Although we live in this country , technically speaking we do not have to “face” our country in person. So it would be a decision that is easier to live with it.

Furthermore , in a modern era like this a betrayal to our country would not mean what it used to , where many citizens would be caught in between and the casualties would be severe. These days , betrayal would probably just mean a change in government and let us face it , there is a 50-50 chance it would turn out for the better would it not? =)

Fact is , we can never betray our friends and family for they are the ones who made us who we are. Without them , we would be nothing. If we have a place to stay with no one to talk to , interact with , what kind of live would that be? True enough there will be people who would hate me for such a decision but friends and family will understand our choice and forgive us for our actions.

As you will probably guess now , I am not the most patriotic person you will find. But truly , how many of us can truly say that we are patriotic? Being born so many years after our independence , we have begun to lose understanding of its meaning. What is independence day to us now? To many , it is just another public holiday. Of course I hope that this decision will never have to be mine to make. Malaysia , I love you, but you are just not at the top of my list =)
