Malaysians and Their Obsession With Free Things


Malaysians have this obsession with free things. I've observed that everywhere, including in a supermarket. Remember when Datuk Lee Chong Wei won a medal in the Olympics and Baskin' and Robins gave free ice-cream? The lines are LONG everywhere and people are willing to stand in the line for hours just for a scoop of something free. 

 More and more people feel they are entitled to something and that the government owe them. One of the news sometime before election was citizens in Selangor is suing the state government for failing to provide them with free water. Helloooooo...a lot of people in interior of Sabah and Sarawak don't have access to clean water pun diam2 saja.




You still remember the ANNOYING "listen,listen,listen,listen" video involving a UUM student debating why can't the current government give Malaysians free education? I personally think both party are a bit at fault here. The student should have calmly presented her points and not raise her voice and i think the moderator is carried away by her emotions. She should have give answers that reflects her maturity and intelligence level and not argue about animals, bird,cows having problems too. 

 In the recent election, one of the manifesto was to give free education to Malaysians. While many agree and demanded this, i wonder if they ever really think about it or they just want everything free? Sometimes people just don't know how to be grateful. Primary and secondary schools have Skim Pinjaman Buku Teks among other things to help parents ease their burden. Now people do not need to pay public exam fees. Kalau semua benda mau free, siapa mau bayar gaji cikgu, pekerja2 sekolah, mau beli alatan pembelajaran, aktiviti sekolah? More often than not, teachers have to use their own money for all these things. 

 It is acceptable to give free education in primary and secondary level but to expect it till tertiary level is too much. I know someone who studied in a government linked tertiary level institution. Besides only paying a minimal fee, they are also given a small amount of monthly allowance. He said "Siapa cakap kerajaan tak bagi pendidikan percuma?"  Kalau semua mau free, siapa yang mau bayar gaji lecturer, siapa mau bayar itu ini bla bla bla...If you have noticed, people are more likely to appreciate things that they worked hard for. Who says government did not provide free education in Uni? If you work hard and excel in Uni, your PTPTN will be converted to a scholarship. If you want free education so much, then work hard to excel. Simple as that.


Anyway, there is no such thing as a free lunch.  If one individual or group gets something at no cost, somebody else ends up paying for it. Semua benda mau free. Air, tol, pendidikan. Kedekut mau keluar duit untuk benda yang penting tapi minum kopi mau Starbucks, makan mau Kenny Rogers, beli baju mau Topman Topshop Zara, kereta mau BMW Peugeot. Minum kedai kopi tepi jalan sudaaa...

 Eh emosi pulak. Ok bye.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

CPPS Shemale?

Shemale ke?? Nothing related. Just that I like this pic and how I picture myself when looking at my phone. Walaupun CPPS jarang ngepost cerita pasal Tinder, tak semestinya CPPS tak main Tinder lagi. Sesekali bila bosan, iols swipe-swipe la jugak kiri kanan kan. Saje bagi jari-jemari lemah gemalai ni bersenam sikit. Kekadang tu saje la kan nak networking. Tapi setakat tu je la kan. Sebab up to a certain point, Tinder ni bosan jugak. You have to put up with a lot of small talks, shallow conversations and jerks who think with their dicks. So biasanya bila uols sama-sama swipe right tu, maka uols dah connected and boleh lah mula mengejas. Biasanya si jantan akan text "Hey" Lepas tu uols pun reply "Hey. How are you?" Lepas tu krik-krik 2-3 bulan. Ataupun "Hey" "Hey. How are you?" "Good good. And you" "Great. What do you do for a living" dah macam interview keje kan. Ada satu soalan ni ULTIMATE TIN...

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City  I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens.  Like a resort in the middle of the city. But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge. I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here. The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam. It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. J ust minutes away from Subang Airport. I love that it's near to   Citta Mall , Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery .  So you know, I got a lot of F&B options...

Footprints In The Sand

This is my favourite story of Jesus One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.  Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.  Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.  Other times there were one set of footprints.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life  When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,  I could see only one set of footprints.  So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,  That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.  But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life  There have only been one set of prints in the sand.  Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied,  "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints  Is when I carried you." When times are tough, when you feel so lonely and ho...
