You Have No Reason to Do This

All the meetings and quizzes all squeeze in the same day, and the same time, I do not think that it is my fault, and then, that lecturer do not have any reason to do such a stupid decision too.

"Sorry Sir, we have another quiz at the same time..."
"For those who can come, just come, For those who can't attend, don't come then. You all are really problem maker."

I don't see there is any problem maker in our classroom, and obviously half of the class cannot go on that time. As a lecturer, he should change another time that can match most of us, and the minority will find another quiz time, but not HALF of us! And what do he means that PROBLEM MAKER? Just simply change the time and that's it!

What he do as a lecturer? He simply complain on our class and stay to his not-so-wise (and even stupid) decision, then claimed that we are the one who finding problems. Now I see the one who creates problem is he. I did not say more in class, actually I have another two meeting, which all held at four different place but same time. Do you think I know any shadow XXXX from ninja, which I can divide myself in four and attend all the meeting and quiz at the same time? Ha!

Please, students are busy too. Don't take things too easy, man. Some student even more busier than lecturer.

Argh, cool down.

Lecturer As A Professional

While lecturer is delivering class, I think it is better to put aside personal belief system right? It is not wrong if they are loyal to their religious or race, but it is not appropriate to critic others religious or races when it disobey their belief system.

I do not know who give him that qualification to critic it in the class, and even talk about the so-called facts about others race and religious, create further misunderstand among his students. When religious and race issue are mention in the syllabus of the lecture, lecturer should teach and deliver fully the true fact (or at least what include in the syllabus, they should teach) but not skip all the other religious and only magnified their own belief system. Lecturer is a professional job. as a profession, they should show their quality as a pro. Lecturers are paid to deliver correct facts, but not belief system and brain washing their student.

Especially in Malaysia, issues about race and religious is quite sensitive, I do not agree on mention the issue in class, as this really isn't a good idea when they know their class is mix races and religion (even not mix, they shouldn't mention it too).

I am free thinker (which means no specific religion), but I still feel insult when the lecturer speak all the bad things about other religious.

Lecturer have their right to have a belief system, so do their student. It is really not a good idea, and a terribly bad idea to talk bad other belief system.

Not An Excuse If You Are Female

Always hear some people (obviously girls) say this:
"Where are the guys? We are girls, we can't do that."

When female can't do a thing, especially when it relates to hectic task such as carry a box, automatically our gender will become an excuse. Just like today's post-mortem for Pesta Chun, not specifically address anyone, but the most frequent excuse for not doing job well is "We are girls." "We have no boys in our group."

It really bothering me. As a female, I do not think that when you are a female, you can't do anything that a guy can do. Not to mention feminism, but, as a committee, we should do our best but not depends on someone, especially using gender as an excuse, Indeed, guys have their advance, they have more muscle mass than girls, but do bear in mind, no women can't live without a man, women (and for human) can't live without human, and it doesn't mind that the human is guy or girl. Do not depend too much on guys, they will feel tired.

Human limits are unlimited. We are not using our full strength in daily life. See, don't say that if you are a women, you lose. If so, why still have women win in weight lifting can counter a guy? That is the power within human. Excuses makes us feel ease and restrict us from break out the limit. What we initially can do become can't when we start making excuses.

Stop using "I am a girl" as excuse to avoid hectic task and blame on guys for not giving support. They are not born to be our worker, do not think that when it comes to physical work, find a guy. They are superior in physical but that is not a reason for them to do all tiring job, just like you are clever but doesn't mean that you have to be a scientist.

Gender stereotype should be avoided when comes to work. Guy can be as gentle and neat in doing their task, and girl can be very wise in making decision. I encounter many guys who are very gentle and girls who are very cool. Just take an example, the hair stylist guy I met at Pesta Chun. He is very gentle guy ,soft in speaking and he treats our hair very gentle. Normally I hate to find a female stylist as they are rude in styling your hair - I think they treat my head as their training puppet. Guys are mostly more gentle, it is very comfortable when they very neatly comb your tangled hair. Another example, our ex-chinese representative is a girl, and she is wise in making decision, debate and so on.

The world is in transformation, and the gender border become blurrier, most of the task are shared by both gender. So, do not use gender as an excuse in escaping job. Equality.

Loveats Cafe

Loveats located at Taman Universiti, Tanjung Malim, which is a favourite spot for students nearby to pick for a dinner or celebrate event.


Unlike other cafe, Loveats mainly serve on burgers. Besides, it also have western cuisine such as chicken/fish/lamb/beef chop or steak. The burger also available in those four meat include a veggie burger.

The design is normal I would say, and the light inside I consider it as slightly dim, but the overall atmosphere is comfortable, and the staff there is helpful too, as long as you ask for service. Basically, the design fulfill what a cafe should look like, and it follow the main stream - woody design.

You will be introduced how to take order by the staff if you are the first time. They are self service cafe (except serving), you need to tick the order list and walk to the cashier to pay. Pay before you eat. Their service speed is moderate. At its peak hour (dinner time, around 6pm), you will have to wait for at least half an hour to get your order.

Today, I would like to introduce two dishes, one burger and one western cuisine.

For the burger, I ordered fish burger which available in two flavor. One is normal with cheese inside, and other is with their special hot sauce (i did not find any special on that sauce). The fish they use deep fried, but the fish inside is not as dry as I expected. It comes with seasoned steak cut fries and special sauce (looks like thousand island) with a drink when you order it with set (RM 5 added). If order ala carte, the prize around RM8.90 to RM10.90 depends on the burger you order.

Fish burger comes in set
The fish is thick
(Please bear with the quality of the image... I am so lazy to do any edit on it...)

The bread is charcoal bread, and what it differs from the fast food is, the bread is moist and softer, and it taste sweet. The bread indeed add many marks for the whole burger. Inside the burger there is no much mild sauce, so when eating, you will find it is difficult to swallow if you didn't drink any water.

The fries taste great when serve hot.

About the western cuisine, I tried lamb shoulder.

Lamb shoulder
It cannot be classified as steak if it is only this thick


I would like to say, I am not a fan of lamb, as it taste funny every time I ate it. This time, since the lamb shoulder here get quite lots of positive comments, I decided to try it out, and the result was appealing. The meat is tendon, and it does not have the smell that lamb will have. It is well-cooked, and the sauce is black pepper sauce. Eat it while it is hot, because it will turns hard to swallow when cool. The taste is splendid.

The side dishes were incredible too. I like the mashed potato so much, that I even order it if the mashed potato does not included in my set. The potato was serve with mushroom soup, and it cause the potato to taste milder. The corn was brushed with salted butter before steam (is it steam?) and the salad was fresh. Just a little bit comment on the salad... when I first come to the cafe, the cherry tomato I get half of it, but now only a quarter...

Mashed potato


The most astonishing is I found a surau in here (a place where muslim conduct their prayer)

They open after 5pm, so it can only be a site for dinner.

This cafe I will continue updating. ^_^

Worth It, Or Not?

Be low profile, so that you won't be judge too much by others.

I know this since secondary school, and yet I failed to practice it. I find it quite hard to maintain low profile, as I am not the one who are filled with a lot of talent, I have nothing special to show off, hence I cannot be too transparent in social, or otherwise I will lose my game. I was debating inside myself, whether I need to maintain low profile or show them what I have inside me. Lots of different suggestions I received. From lecturer, they told me to shine. From friends, they told me to be low profile.

I know piano, but only until Grade 4. There are tons of people who know how to play piano, some of them even Grade 8 or until diploma. I know how to do dessert, but with lots of video in Facebook now, everyone can make it. I know how to sing, but not so sweet. I know how to compose a story, but many of them could do the same thing.

I am not special, I know that.

So, one day, I decided to show off what I have inside me, so that I won't be so transparent, but... I experience a lot after that.

Set today's case as an example.

The door was locked when I went out with housemate. It end out we were locked outside. They tried to call for friends and shouting here and there to ask others housemate to open the door, and yet the room seems no one inside. I didn't want to waste my time in waiting for others to come back and open the door for us, so I was thinking, how to open it without a key. I am a type of person that have a lot of theory inside my head, and some useless minor knowledge that not everyone knows, because they do not think that kind of knowledge is necessary, such as, the mechanism of the door knob. As I mention, I m theory type person, and the so-called useless knowledge comes handy here. I know the mechanism of the door knob and how it works, so I came out with a theory——

"If I could pass through a rope, or something that can hang on the latch bolt, then pull the rope, the door should be open."

I found a nylon rope which used to be a hanger for cloths to open it, and I succeed. They were so astonished and I have to admit that, I feel proud, because I can do something that they can't do. After that, they asked me a question.

"Can you open our bedroom's door as well?"
"What do you mean?"
"Because it is very dangerous if you can."
"……no, I can't."

While the fact is, I could if I want to. I just need a minute or so to think of a theory and a minute to practice it. But, why should I do that? As long as I am not interested in break in your room, I would not know how to do it. I don't know they believe me or not, but I can sense something. If one day, their belongings missing, I think I will be the biggest suspect, as I could open the front door without a key, so do the bedroom.

So here's the advise. Before you want to do something that others' can't do, think first. whether it worth it or not. For me, it worth, because if they really treat me like a thief, then I can end my relationship with them, it makes me look clearly how they are.

Worth it? Worth it.
