the same heritage, same colour



images of Yeonpyeong

as i am totally into korean dramas and variety show "2 days 1 night"...
i am totally shocked and sad to hear the attack...
just last March..nearly 30 South Korean Navy had died....
as their vessel sank which was believed to be an attack
from North Korea

the island of Yeonpyeong had been featured in "2 days 1 night"...
once, i watched the episode when "2 days 1 night" travelled to Mount Beakdu...
how they were so excited to see North Korea from afar...
how they had to refrain themselves from communicating to a fellow North Korean
just because they were not allow to do so....
their frustration was obvious..because as they are of the same race...
they still have families and relatives reside in North Korea

so sad..
that in this era...in the year 2010..
when human is well- informed and knowledgeable....
when technology has made life easier.....
still there are a few who believe in killing each other...





i do pray for Malaysia.........

farewell to my Chief Minister

Tun Lim Chong Eu


Tun Lim Chong Eu died today at the age of 91 at Tanjung Bungah, Georgetown, Penang.
he was, as i believe, the longest serving Chief Minister of Penang for 21 years.
just like Mahathir, i grew up under him....

listening to Pakya mentioning his name, as Pakya always involved with
the state's agriculture activities and policies.

i remember seeing him from afar...at Padang Merdeka, Butterworth and at Padang Kota Lama during Merdeka celebration....
Tun was just like a father figure to all of us...
very warm and friendly...not intimidating at all.....

as i googled him today...i found this....which i found quite interesting...

What we must understand is that the Malaysian nation was not formed just by the words and articles in the written Constitution. The Malaysian nation evolved from the acceptance of our people to live, work and die together as Malaysians within the framework of the Constitution. This decision of popular acceptance was established through the procedures of parliamentary democracy.


"
In the context of the existence and life of the Malaysian Nation, the Federal Constitution is the sacred heritage of the Malaysian people irrespective of their individual ethnic heritages or cultural and religious backgrounds. It must be the fundamental duty of each and every citizen to honour, respect and uphold the Malaysian Constitution.


This spirit of placing the Rule of Law under a duly elected Parliament and the State Assemblies must always underlie all our actions as Malaysians. This is just what patriotism is all about.

This spirit must be carefully cultivated and sustained by all the people in Malaysia irrespective of their own ethnic origins, cultural heritages and religious beliefs. The Rukunegara expresses the fundamental commitment for every Malaysian to uphold national unity in order to ensure progress into the future.


By accepting the spirit of coexistence of the various ethnic communities that have been bonded together by the Constitution, the tenets of the Rukunegara ushered in the coevolutionary forces that have built Malaysia into what it is today.

this is an excerpt from his speech in 1995.....


thank you Tun, for making Penang a safer place to grow up

thank you Tun, for making my family feels safe to call Penang as our hometown.....

deathly hollows

dah tgk deathly hollows part 1???

harry potter and the deathly hollows
adalah buku terakhir dalam siri harry potter...
buku ini mengikut perjalanan hidup harry potter dari saat die ke
sekolah Hogwarts hingga lah die sebagai senior d tahun akhir...

ramai yg mencemuh harry potter sebagai penyebar benda tahyul...
bagi aku personally, reading harry potter adalah for fun...
just as a tool for escapism....
enjoy even ade org kata ini novel kanak2....


so, apa maksud the deathly hollows???
the deathly hollows bermaksud 3 perkara atau item magik..
yg jika d miliki, org tersebut mampu mempunyai kuasa melebihi kematian.....
ketiga2 item tersebut adalah...
the elder wand - tongkat sakti yg berkuasa
the invisibility cloak - membuatkan pemakai jadi halimunan
the resurrection stone - menghidupkan kembali org yg dah mati

inilah item yg cuba d cari oleh voldermort untuk kekal hebat...
manakala harry pula perlu mencari horcruxes untuk membunuh voldermort
untuk kekal hidup, voldermort telah memisahkan nyawanye kepada beberapa
buah horcruxes....yg perlu dmusnahkan terlebih dahulu sebelum dia boleh d bunuh
lambang the deathly hollows


untuk movie, buku ini d pecahkan kepada dua bahagian...
menurut laporan supaya penceritaan nye lebih detail dan dapat menepati
kepuasan dan imaginasi pembaca....



scene dari the deathly hollows

so, aku skeptikal juga sebelum menonton cite nie...
sebab aku baca review..kata membosankan dan dragging....
tapi penkritik tu mengaku die x pernah bac buku tu...

bila aku tonton...
pandangan pembaca...aku puas hati..
apa yg aku baca dan jumpa....dapat d portray kan dengan jelas dan vivid sekali..
bila tgk ...

"oh..mcm nie rupanya..."
"eh,...sama mcm yg d imagine"....

so,
untuk yg x baca...memang akan lost...
bosan...lembab....
yg baca...
best sangat...
tgk imaginasi kita hidup d layar....
membuatkan nak baca balik for 3rd time......





apa-apa bagi abis baca dan brown's the lost symbol
