Chinese New Year memories.........

Chinese New Year had come and gone. For today's blog entry, I will let the pictures do all the talking. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.





For the first time ever since everyone had moved in, we finally gathered together and have a photography session. As you can see everyone is taking different New Year auspicious items on their hands.





Us, the 8 crazy housemates pose on the stairs along with our two big "4-flat pineapples".





That's me posing with Chinese couplets.





Me and Yu Xin trying to "borrow" the 4-flat pineapples luck. (Hopefully it won't divide the luck among us and make both our CGPA into 2.0 >_<)
Just in case one pineapple's power is not enough, I am holding TWO pineapples.




Last but not least, the most memorable thing about this New Year is being part of the 8th Chinese Language Society's Organising Family (I replace Committee with Family since it sounded more close).

Snoop squads? WTF?

As I was surfing around Jeffrey Ooi's blog, a great blogger by the way, I come upon this particular blog entry about how the Chief Minister of Melaka (which unfortunately also happens to be the UMNO vice-president), Ali Rustam, had launch a squad to, now listen carefully now (to make sure none of you guys miss what I am trying to say, yours truly had enlarge and bold the font for u guys), snoop on couples!!!!

So being the curious me, I click on the link that is provided in the blog entry and it linked me to one of The Sun's article here . For those who are lazy to read the article that I have took the trouble to link, the article is about a discussion that will be scheduled to discuss about this snoop squad. So to get more details on this whole affair I do a quick search on The Sun's website and two search results caught my eye. One is an editorial by The Sun condemning the squad which is approved by the Vice-president of UMNO. What really caught my attention is this particular news article. It seems here that PAS opposes this movement. Yes people, you have heard it correct, PAS the party which is equivilant to Taliban in terms of religious beliefs had condemn this privacy-invading squad! I can't believe it, for once I actually agreed with PAS! You know that something is definitely not right with your decision when PAS is making perfect sense when opposing something endorse by the government.

As for me I think that the reason why Ali Rustam is trying to attract people's attention is maybe he wants to distract us from talking about his 1 million publicly funded around the world trip which have the word "corruption" written all over it. I wonder what's next in his "distract-the-people-from-talking-about-my-scandal" plot?

Stop abusing the power of the internet!!!

Sometimes I really think that most of the internet users I know are really naive. They tend to believe in rumours and spread it before even confirming the credibility of it. Just look at this message which had been circulating in my Yahoo! Messenger since yesterday:

"To All Emerald Park residents (girls): A rape case has happened in front of our EP front gate. She was with her bf, n a car stopped, pushed her bf down n took her into the car(full with boys). The guard only managed to shout at the moving car. Please be alert when walking on the street. Try to bring more frens when going out at night or even at day light. Please forward... to inform them of the danger"

This is really annoying, does anyone actually take the time to confirm this rumour before passing it around? What's worse there is no news in the newspaper about that. Such rumours only will cause unneccesary fear among the Emerald Park residents. Why can't people stop being so naive for once and stop believing in rumours that are not confirmed. To make matters even worse, there are another group of people trying to ruin their friend's reputation by posting this message:

"**censored** Bachelor of Information Technology(Honours)(Business Information System) beta year student"

After a short while another message starts circulating in Yahoo! Messenger:

"About the msg about **insert victim's name** is the suspect of the EP rape case is NOT TRUE!! HE JZ PLAY BY OTHERS, PLZ FORWARD, GOD BLESS HIM.........."

To those who tried to sabotage their friend's reputation, hope you guys burn in hell for what you guys did. It might started out as an innocent practical joke, but the damage had definitely had been done to your innocent friend. To those who started the first rumour and if it happened to be false, hope you guys burn in hell over and over again for inciting fear in every naive MMUians hearts!

So people, don't be so naive for once and please go confirm any rumours before you guys start spreading it around. Hopefully the next message circulating my Yahoo Messenger will not be like these:

1. "Justin is gay! Pls fwd msg"
2. "Justin is caught sexually harassing females and is caught yesterday by the security!"
