我當爸爸了!
五月一日,我當爸爸了.
我的女兒-艾薇娜(Avena)於2006年3月13日出世,回到家時,她已經7周齡了.
剛到家時,囡囡很怕生! 一點點聲音就將她給嚇壞了. 晚上頻頻鬧肚子餓,搞得我整晚沒得睡. 得把她抱在懷裡,才肯入睡.
那一晚,我失眠了.
囡囡每天都得大小便數次. 一鬧時,我就得和周公爽約為她抹屎擦屁股. 唉,為人父原來不簡單唷!
囡囡,爹地不怕你晚上吵著無法讓爹地睡覺,只是怕你吃不好,睡不夠. 只要你能健健康康,聽聽話話地長大,爹地就心滿意足了.
囡囡,愿上帝保佑你,讓你健康平安長大!
爹地愛你唷!
快快長大!

Ma Hai vs Lan (21sx)!!
曾經被圍繞在生殖器裡用餐嗎? 两天前, 和友人於Kenny Roger's吃晚飯時, 就陷入如此尷尬的情況裡. 當時, 我與友人已經開始用膳了, 突然走進了兩個男人. 一個留著著肩長髮, 身材略胖, 穿著小一碼的灰色上衣, 像似快被他笨挫的身材給擠暴了; 另外一個戴著眼鏡, 長相十分普通的年輕男子. 他們倆坐在餐廳的一角, 不知在談論著甚麼! 就在我剛要將切好的雞肉連同辣味十足的黑胡椒汁送入口之際, 胖男突然大聲殺出一句:"Ma hai(粵)!" 我愣了一下, 握著那叉著那快進口的雞肉得手也頓時停了下來. 他在幹啥啊? 我斜望了他一眼, 告訴自己別理他, 繼續將剛剛的雞肉送入口裡. 美味的黑胡椒汁才剛與我的口水交融時, 突然又傳來極為大聲的一句:"xxxx lan xxx!" 我怎麼忽然從人家媽的陰唇跳到人家爸的屌呢? 我狠狠地往他的方向瞪去, 他應該是沒有察覺到. 我深深地吸了一口氣, 繼續享受我的美味烤雞. 哇,好棒喔! "Ma hai!"又再一次如箭射了過來. 媽的, 你要你媽的hai還是別人媽的hai, 沒人要知道啦! 幹! 想要好好吃一頓飯都如此困難! 我勉強地將四分之一的雞給吞了下去, 便付錢離去!
好一個山番薯,在餐廳裡也沒有說話禮俗! 難道左一句"Ma hai"又一句"Lan"就可以讓他很有男人魅力嗎? 我呸! 只不過顯示他的低俗和沒文化罷了! 可悲的是, 在KL偏偏就有很多受高等教育或生活水準較高的人都離不開那两句話, 好像不說就沒品味, 沒class, 跟不上潮流! 我的媽呀! Ma hai!

貝兒的啟示
两個星期前, 才剛離開家門, 就接到一通電話. 電話裡頭, 學姊的聲音十分緊急, 但又帶憂愁. 原來一個客戶的狗狗失血過多, 需要緊急輸血. 學姊又無法順利地取血, 打了幾通電話都無法找到人手幫忙, 只好嘗試向我求救. 我一口就答應了, 後來才想起, 我的家裡開學姊的診所需要45分鐘. 怎麼辦? 既然已經答應學姊了, 只好破例做一天的飛車黨了. 45分鐘的路程, 竟被我在25分鐘就到達診所, 頓時對自己的飛車技術開始感到驕傲了. 要是我媽在車子裡, 她必定後悔當初讓我學駕車! 媽咪, 狗狗等著我救命耶, 您就當作沒這麼一回事吧!
匆匆忙忙地趕到診所時, 見到學姊在與時間搏鬥和掙扎, 屢次嘗試都無法順利取血. 原來她的助理無法正確的將血管展現給學姊, 並在抬狗狗的頭時, 竟血流的制止了. 無論學姊怎麼示範給她看, 她還是無法抓莫清楚, 簡直快把學姊給氣瘋了. 見狀, 我上前從她手上結果狗狗的頭, 輕輕地別向側邊, 學姊輕而易舉就取到了血. 貝兒在捐血時, 一度從麻醉醒來, 學姊只好再添加一劑麻醉藥. 貝兒的口水沾滿我的整隻手臂, 濕濕黏黏的, 不但不覺得噁心, 突然感覺好興奮唷! 原來我還是獸醫耶! 原來我的獸醫直覺還沒有被埋沒! 好興奮唷!
興奮之余, 現實重重地掌了我一巴, 我是不是該回到醫院去上班?

Baqlava
Baqlava, baklava (or baklawa) is a popular sweet pastry found in many cuisines of the Middle East and the Balkans, made of chopped nuts layered with phyllo pastry. With its high sugar and fat content, it is very rich.
I had this when I was in Tehran, Iran last month. Initially I thought it was something like a cake and looked very delicious. So greedily, I chomped on a whole piece and as the sweetness flooded my taste bud, my nerves trembled, my right narrowed and my face twisted. Saliva started to drool nonstop. This is no cake at all, this is syrup in disguise. Geez, I instantly sieze munching and my natural instinct told me to spit it out. Unfortunately, with all the Iranians standing beside me awaiting for my comment on their proud candy, I had to force myself to swallow the whole thing. I had to force a smile on my face and tell them that it was very nice! (How fake!)
In fact, I like sweet stuff but not something as sweet as baqlava. This is like syrup x 10 times the sweetness. Gosh! One big lesson, NEVER BE GREEDY ON FOOD YOU ARE FOREIGN WITH!
Unpublished article by Dato' Marina Mahathir on International Women's Day
In 1948, one of humankind's most despicable ideas, apartheid, was made into law in South Africa where racial discrimination was institutionalized. Race laws touched every aspect of social life, including a prohibition of marriage between non-whites and whites, and the sanctioning of "white-only" jobs. Although there were 19 million blacks and only 4.5 million whites in South Africa, the majority population were forced to be second-class citizens in their homeland, banished to reserves and needing passports to travel outside them, even within their own country. It was only in 1990 that apartheid began to crumble and South Africans of all colours were finally free to live as equals in every way.
With the end of that racist system, people may be forgiven for thinkingthat apartheid does not exist anymore. While few countries practice anyformal systems of discrimination, nevertheless you can find many forms of discrimination everywhere. In many cases, it is women who are discriminated against. In our country, there is an insidious growing form of apartheid among Malaysian women, that between Muslim and non-Muslim women.
We are unique in that we actively legally discriminate against women who are arguably the majority in this country, Muslim women. Non-Muslim Malaysian women have benefited from more progressive laws over the years while the opposite has happened for Muslim women.
For instance, since the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976,polygamy among non-Muslims was banned. Previously men could have as many wives as they wanted under customary laws. Men's ability to unilaterally pronounce divorce on their wives was abolished and in its place, divorce happens by mutual consent or upon petition by either spouse in an equal process where the grounds are intolerable adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion of not less than two years, and living separately for not less than two years. Compare that to the lot of Muslim women abandoned but not divorced by their husbands.
Other progressive reforms in the civil family law in the late 1990s wereamendments to the Guardianship Act and the Distribution Act. TheGuardianship of Infants Act 1961 was amended to provide for equalguardianship for both father and mother, rather than the previous provision where only the father was the primary guardian of the children. In contrast, the Islamic Family Law still provides for the father as the sole primary guardian of his children although the mother is now allowed to sign certain forms for her children under an administrative directive.
The Distribution Act 1958 was also amended to provide for equal inheritance for widows and widowers, and also granted children the right to inherit from their mothers as well as from their fathers. Under the newly proposed amendments to the Islamic Family Law, the use of gender neutral language on the issue of matrimonial property is discriminatory on Muslim women when other provisions in the IFL are not gender-neutral. Muslim men may still contract polygamous marriages, may unilaterally divorce their wives for the most trivial of reasons (including by SMS, unique in the Muslim world) and are entitled to double shares of inheritance.
These differences between the lot of Muslim women and non-Muslim women beg the question: do we have two categories of citizenship in Malaysia, whereby most female citizens have less rights than others? As non-Muslim women catch up with women in the rest of the world, Muslim women here are only going backwards. We should also note that only in Malaysia are Muslim women regressing; in every other Muslim country in the world, women have been gaining rights, not losing them.
In this country, our leaders claim to stand for all citizens. Our PrimeMinister is the Prime Minister of all Malaysians, our Ministers work forall Malaysians in their respective fields. There are two exceptions tothis. The Minister for Islamic Affairs is obviously only for Muslims; eventhough some of the things he does affect others. While the Minister forWomen purports to work for all Malaysian women, even though not allMalaysian women benefit from that work. Perhaps we should consolidate the apartheid of women in this country by having a Ministry for Non-Muslim Women which works to ensure that Non-Muslim women enjoy the benefits of the Convention for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, a UN document which Malaysia signed and is legally bound to implement, and a Ministry for Muslim Women which works to gag and bind Muslim women more and more each day for the sake of political expediency under the guise of religion.
Today is International Women's Day. Unfortunately only about 40% of thewomen in this country can celebrate. The rest can only look at theirNon-Muslim sisters in despair and envy.

SACC
Went to SACC this afternoon for lunch with my colleagues. SACC - Shah Alam City Center, sounded glamorous like KLCC. I was quite amazed with SACC, surprised that a place like this will have such a nice and glamorous shopping complexes, with Bonia, Guess, Coffee Beans, Giordano and etc. Wow, man! Shah Alam really surprises me. I always think that Shah Alam is a lake base full with all the bottom feeders, but I was wrong. I was so eagered to explore the building from the look outside. On entering the building, the building was so quite and deserted. It was so quiet that if I speak louder, I can hear my voice echoing the hall. Gee... What a SACC. Some of the shoplots are emptied, I think only 50% of the building is occupied. If someone got murdered, I don't think it would be noticeble until the rotten smell linger in the whole building. I think this is not a place that I will want to be. What if I got murdered here and left to decay? Shah Alam, nah, although with your new SACC, I admit that I was falsely impressed by your look, but I'm not going to like you. No way!

在舊電腦里找到的
五月四日的星洲日报在国内版的报导，“语文局总监：若马来学生减少，大学应恢复固打制”这项文章，让我对马来西亚大学生的前途感到困扰。我本身是个国立大学毕业生，对于国立大学的固打制一向都抱着不看好的态度。这项发表并不在于探讨马来社会的特权，也不是要挑拨马来西亚各族的和睦。我只想发表我对拿督菲道斯教授的言论的看法。
绩效制，一向都被国外著名的大学采用，好比哈佛大学，史丹福大学，耶鲁大学等。此举乃确保录取生拥有优异的学术资格，在毕业后，不论任何种族、肤色，都可以在各自的工作范围上，取得相当出色的成就，间而让社会更进步、更繁荣。固打制，相比之下，反而让我们的社会的进步，缓慢了脚步。为什么我会这么说？
在固打制之下，异族学生，无论成绩有多优异，并不都可以进入国立大学升学，因为固打制保留了一定的学额予巫族学生。异族学生在固打制下，为了有限的学额，相互竞争。但相反之下，巫族学生，因有特权的保护，显然对学术上的竞争减少了许多。这个现象，在大学里十分常见。华族、印族，及其他非巫族学生，在大学里的表现，往往超越巫族学生。因为大学不易进，所以勤力，因为庆幸，所以提高自己的竞争力，好让自己可以他日成龙成凤，有一番作为。巫族学生，相比之下，就变得十分吊儿郎当。不是每个巫族学生都如此，有少数的巫族学生，拥有相当激烈的竞争力，其余的大部分，在大学里，要不就是参党涉政、要不就是夜夜泡嘛嘛档到凌晨三四点、要不就是谈恋爱，逛街。如果不信，高等教育部可以派特务人员，混进大学生里做调查，相信结果会让人大吃一惊。
拿督菲道斯教授指出，“在推行绩效制后，不见得马来学生的竞争力有所提高，反而有人认为马来学生人数日益减少。”这意味着什么？这意味着马来社会的问题所在，就是因为长期活在特权的利益下，长期对政府的依赖，所以失去了竞争力，缺乏了向上的意念，渐渐地被残酷的社会淘汰。为什么异族学生在各方面能取获相当鼓舞的成就？就是因为他们为了在特权下生存，努力地求进步、突破，才能在这个社会上成功。前首相敦马哈迪医生也曾经在公开场合，为马来社会长期依赖政府，缺乏竞争能力，多次落泪，表示失望。而首相拿督巴达威也曾经呼吁马来社会向华人社会学习。这两位出色的国家领导者，清清楚楚明白马来社会退步的原因，并屡次唤醒马来社会。这千真万实的事实，还是被马来社会给忽略了！
在这e时代里，没有竞争力，就会被淘汰，就会退步。我们政府积极地推展2020宏愿，誓要把马来西亚在这十五年里，发展成先进国。试问，马来社会若继续依赖政府，不能自力更生，没有竞争能力，要如何达到先进国呢？马来西亚的宏愿是我们各个民族对国家的使命，缺少任何一方，我们都到达不了我们的目标。华人社会显然已经远远超越马来社会，印度社会也如此，我们现在需要的是，马来社会对自己的醒觉，提高自己的竞争力，而非处处依赖政府、特权。马来社会的特权，在国际社会上，是起不了作用的！
绩效制，相信可以唤醒马来社会，让他们将自己提升、上进，让马来西亚在三大种族与少数民族和携手下，在国际上大发光芒，成为先进国的佼佼者。难免，在这之前，政府需要开始放手，让马来社会重重地跌一跤，这样，他们才会醒觉，这样，他们才会反省，这样，他们才会成长！

CNY, CNY, CNY!
I guess I have to agree with Slenz that I too don't like attending friend's wedding nor visit my relatives during chinese new year. You will get all the annoying questions hovering around your ears nonstop like a recorder playing over and over again. For instance, this lunar new year, I was back to Kuching and managed to visit some relatives and attend a friend's wedding. I got 'D Questions!'
Question 1: "You got girl friend oledi or not ah?"
Perfect Answer : "Unfortunately no because you never introduce your daughter to me!"
Question 2: "See you friends, one by one getting married oledi, when is your turn ah?"
Perfect Answer : "Hmm.. I guess I'm too smart to risk my freedom, don't you agree with me?" (plus an evil grin)
Question 3: (same like Slenz) "How much your company pay you ah?"
Perfect Answer: "Peanuts! Enough for me to buy a ticket to come back for Chinese New Year!"
Question 4: "Aiyo, it is a waste if you don't open your own clinic lar"
Perfect Answer: "What to do? You've channel all your finances to Magnum."
Question 5: "Eh, you don't want to come back to Kuching ah? What is so nice about KL?"
Perfect Answer: "Didn't you know that I was exiled?"
Now, those are the common questions that I got from friends and particularly relatives. That's is one of the reason why I am so freak out with CNY, endless QUESTIONS and relatives can't wait to see you to your grave - Marriage. Argh! Please! Save me the questions and just gimme the Ang Pow!

Thanks Max
Thanks Max!!!!

Memang Pissed...
As mentioned in Loctor’s blog, I was affected too by my ex-high school mates. Like him, I never like going to school gatherings too. Inescapable, I met my high school friends at my friend’s wedding dinner. These people… instead of asking proper questions, they started to shoot you with pretentious and bitchy questions right after they greeted you with fake smiles.
For instance:
So what are you working as now? <-- [Just to see if your job is better or lousier than theirs]
For instance:
So what are you working as now? <-- [Just to see if your job is better or lousier than theirs]
My standard answer: Giordano
Salary how much ah? <--- [Make sure your salary lower than theirs… Will smile if their salary is higher and nod if lower than yours]
My standard answer: RM1k nia la...
Got boyfriend boi? <--- [Kepo question. Bet they started to laugh and smile in their heart when you said you don’t have any, cause you gonna die old and alone].
My standard answer: Erm... which one are you talking about?
When you wanna get married? <--- [Cause they wanna see if they can escape your wedding dinner or not cause wedding dinner need ang paw mah].
My standard answer: You scared I dun have chance to give your children ang paw ah?
So you completed your degree already? <--- [Secretly hope I cannot finish my degree]
My standard answer: Doing it slowly... [no point to boast around]
Some even asked: You started working already kah? <--- [Kanniah!! I started working at the age of 21 la… Cipiet]
Blardy people.
And one of the girls made one stupid statement “WAHHHHHHHH…… SAMSENG HOH… SMOKING…”
Walao eh.
SMOKE = SAMSENG
Then BOOZE = SUPER SAMSENG la?
It doesn’t make so much sense isn’t it? No offend, but this is normally the ‘quality of local university products’. Summore the style of wearing baju[s] is another thing. Sigh… Tasteless… Darn lansi summore!
OK, friends are one issue. Relatives another one!! They just love to compare!! Every single year, during CNY, WITHOUT FAIL!!!! My gosh, it's a RITUAL...
Salary got go up or not this year? My daughter’s boss gave her RM200 increment ah.
Boss got give bonus or not? No bonus ah? So cipiet stingy your company. My daughter get 2 months wo.
When wanna settle down ah? 25 liau wo…
That’s why I rather sleep in my room than hanging out in the living room listening to them bitching and barking non-stop about the same old stuffs.
Likewise, as mentioned by Loctor, come to think of it, I am actually doing better than most of my high school mates. E.g. I came out from uni at the age of 21, started working then and finished my CAPITAL M ady.
I am absolutely PROUD of ME!! Myself and I.
