Earth Hour??? What's so great about it??


Recently, we have been hearing about the so-called EARTH HOUR on the 28th March 2009. From 8.30pm to 9.30pm. This just leaves me wondering, why do we even need to organise and follow the event. It theme "Time To Join The Revolution" just sucks.

Think yourself... Prevent further global warming by switching off your light for a mere one hour in a year??? It is 0.00011% of the time in a year... Are you sure this is the was to prevent global warming? Perhaps electricity tariffs should be increased... Teach humans to go the hard way...


Earth Hour is just a puppet project by the WWF to gain cheap publicity... That's all... Why not educate human to live without electricity??? Try it out, It may work!!!

Too ambitious, Achieve nothing... Haiz...

Frustrated.... Depressed...
These two words are what most suitable to describe me...
I never do well in exams and it gets worse in public exams...
I never get the results i want even if i revise and do exercises as other students do...
Maybe those who scored excellent results who say i'm talking nonsense...
It is really demoralizing me and shattering my confidence...
I just can't think of anything...
Why???
Mom always praise me saying that I do things fast and have the ability to learn new things easily...
She says i will be an asset to my future employer...
But the problem is, how do i get the course of my choice when my academic results SUCKS!!!



I did my experiments... you know??? Can you see??? stupid MPM...



MPM... Can you see what i got??? International recognition rather than your stupid result slip...

Goodbye Taylors...

Democracy is DEAD in Malaysia

"Speaker restrained from convening ‘State Assembly meetings’","‘Emergency meet not valid’","Nazri labels Sivakumar a ‘boy speaker’ ". All these dominated the headlines today, and today Perak folks have an "appointed" government rather than "elected" government.

It's such a childish manner to lock up the state secreteriat, with several (about 200) police and FRU manning the building. They were equipped with tear gas and water cannons. No wonder we are going to be stripped of our membership in the UN Security Council. The police and FRU thought that PR lawmakers will force themselves into the state secretariat, thus paving the way for them to "FIRE IN THE HOLE" with their tear gas and water cannons.

We too have kangaroo courts and kangaroo judges. The High Court has granted an order to indefinitely restrain Perak State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar from convening any unlawful meetings purported to be State Assembly meetings. What a mockery of the judiciary system? Article 72(1) of the Federal Constitution states that The validity of any proceedings in the Legislative Assembly of any State shall not be questioned in any court.

No wonder we are still the same after FIFTY-TWO years of independence.

~~~Wang LeeHom concert~~~


2nd May 2009, Wang LeeHom's concert in Bukit Jalil National Stadium. I wanna go and who wanna join me? If nobody then i'll be going myself.

Article 72 : Privileges of Legislative Assembly

This post is to one of my relative who says that THE SPEAKER can be sued!!! How on earth did you manage to say this??? Alamak!!! Tolonglah!!!

So, i guess that you do not have a copy of the Federal Constitution with you or maybe your copy is an outdated one... Hehe...

SPEAKER HAVE FULL IMMUNITY LAH!!!! ALAMAK!!!

Article 72 : Privileges of Legislative Assembly

(1) The validity of any proceedings in the Legislative Assembly of any State shall not be questioned in any court.

(2) No person shall be liable to any proceedings in any court in respect of anything said or any vote given by him when taking part in proceedings of the Legislative Assembly of any State or of any committee thereof.

(3) No person shall be liable to any proceedings in any court in respect of anything published by or under the authority of the Legislative Assembly of any State.

(4) Clause (2) shall not apply to any person charged with an offence under the law passed by Parliament under Clause (4) of Article 10 or with an offence under the Sedition Act 1948 as amended by the Emergency (Essential Powers) Ordinance No. 45, 1970.

(5) Notwithstanding Clause (4), no person shall be liable to any proceedings in any court in respect of anything said by him of the Ruler of any State when taking part in any proceedings of the Legislative Assembly of any State or any committee thereof except where he advocates the abolition of the Ruler’s position as the constitutional Ruler of that State.

I'm currently studying the EIGHTH SCHEDULE and i may blog about it soon...
