不能略过的路

大学（生活）决定了每个人的人生后路。
如果对未来没有目标的你，
你是否有使劲全力为模糊的前途或想象去寻找呢？

我有，也是我想象不到也不懂自己要些什么。

除非你有很明确，而且不需要大专就可以达到的目标，
要不然，别逃避这能够让自己学习与交同年朋友的青春时期……
别浪费青春！
毕竟，一生人才有一次青春。

最有价值的一段生活，
在此开始，也在此结束。

最后的竞选

这次的校园竞选的感觉不再像上次竞选的时候一样轻松。上次有学长和朋友们在整个过程中帮助和带领,一直到我结束为此。

我当初为什么竞选
在做是否去竞选的选择的时候，我一直在想，我真的能够为学生做些什么吗？毕竟，当时在活动圈的我身兼多职，对于自己的时间上的处理，本身已有一个坚定的答案，就算如此，我还是竞选了。原因何在？

的确，我为了我的学习心，并让自己的视野加宽，加入了这项比较另类的活动圈子。入后感？我发现，原来在人人眼中的校园领导人，很多时候都在为校方效劳，惟有在一些物质上的福利，比较容易取得（例如：名义、交通粘子、活动允许书）。

2011年的校园竞选
真的很希望，大专生不是幼稚的一群小朋友，比如说，常常只会刁出表面性的问题，而看不清问题发生的根源在哪里。变得不幼稚不代表不会有问题，而是懂得怎么合理性地解决问题。我很希望大专生的生活上都存有着人文素养的概念。可是这一次种种事情的发生，让我对大专生的成熟度降低了期望。

这一届，我以校园级候选人姿态，出动竞选学生代表。但是，一切的竞选遇上的风波不少，当中还遇上无利益冲突的小人们在传谣言说本人是“出来参与活动并非纯粹出来办活动，而是外面政党委托，派来竞选候选人”。

听过了我的坏话之后，我才发现我“原来是那么有影响力”，让别人恐惧于我的出现。当时的心情，虽伤心迹开心。
伤心，因为被人扯后腿；开心，因为突然间变得有影响力。

据我了解，这种谣言的动机，是希望大家对我加以警惕，别让背有政治背景的我，暗中毁坏校园/工大学生代表理事会。（毕竟，人人听见政治两个字，就好像看见鬼一样害怕。）
讯息来源的人就不在此表明，毕竟，他这样传，传言自然会散播到不同的地方。我在此只想告诉大家，外传此言论者是大家都认识而落选的校园级华裔候选人。

竞选期间，早上我会到实习公司工作，一直到傍晚才能够回到校园。继续筹备，贴海报。没有机会像他们那一班那么有钱，甚至能够有钱到请完整个系院吃午餐。这也不尽让我怀疑，他们的钱真的是自己的吗？如果使用PTPTN（贷学金），我也没那么舍得用这么多钱。我只限制自己的筹备，最多只能花至RM200。对于防水袋和纸张，我都是再用回以前的袋子和曾经用来print过笔记和功课上用过的纸张…… 都是能省则省，因为我还是学生。

他的举动其实让我觉得有一种高程度的安慰，万万也没想到，人人都认为那大名鼎鼎的他，也会觉得，手无寸铁的我是他取胜的威胁。
大家都还是学生等级的校园社会人士，还未接触到外界可能存有的社会现实的利益冲突，就有这种小人心的举动，若是在现实社会上的他会表现如何呢？难以想象。

见过他这么久，我最想向他学习的就是他那很会“做人”的社交能力。甚至能让人人都觉得他是一位很出名和实力很强的人。

这小子的表面功夫的魅力，非一般人能胜任。他有努力过，但是努力过多少我见识过，但我不在此批评。我也体验过他那把矛头指向他人的能力也是难以学会，他对一些已经存有偏见的人士，在思想上的影响，也做到非一般的狠心。 阿燊实在佩服到五体投地！佩服！佩服！

他能做到“让不认识你的人，也会讨厌你！”

但是，有谁懂？有谁知道这些事情的真相？

答案：只有受过伤的人才会明白。 

校方也变质

竞选期之后，到置位分配的那一天。选人担任置位的方式也不再公平。主席团的置位分配，只是供给竞选校园级竞选人担任而已，但是当时的安排却是小学生选班长一样，举手算数量通过。

试问，为什么还要分校园级和系院级来分类竞选人？

不同的级别，需要的努力和资源彼此差别很大的！

但是，这是校方的安排，身为学生代表的他们，那么乖巧，就算遇上任何的不正义，谁会坚持正义，发表意见？

难忘的是…… 

除了我以上不停批评的事物，最后一次的竞选也出现了（在前一届，又是提名人之外又像Champaign Manager又像守护者的）战友与我共同出战。当时，两个都处于相同（地点、时间、工作性质）的“工作”状态，一同共同上这“游乐场”。

这种突然间的安排，就连我自己没到最后一分钟都不懂自己的决定是什么的时候，既是惊喜有是优。因为一切太出乎自己的预料，当儿，也不懂之后会影响些什么……事情依然发生了。

更是让我意外的是这位战友的出现，原本想“自己死就已经足够”，万万没想到，他的决定做得更加即时。就算再即时，他也能在瞬间招到自己的两位提名人与需要的物件……

所谓的友情

除了这一位战友，当时，其中的友情“来往”也变得频繁，由于什么原因我不去怀疑其中的目的。但是，我却发现当中有人为了自己，讨好别人，而变得不诚实……

与我的交谈，只有我问到，才回答…

但是，根据我在跟这位友人沟通之后的了解发现，他当时在做着资讯交换的人，然而，并能够在双方地带能够留得住脚。他这样的做法，将他和我们划分开成对立的队伍。他在各个队伍中的参与，提出的讯息和疑问，挑起了双方本来都没必要去注重的事物……

两个组织因为他而互相对立，成为一个毫无关系的人的傀儡，为什么那么简单呢？

我能为这道问题回答：“这两一批人马，真的是为了对立而存在，除了这个，他们的存在，是没有其它意义/目的……”

Mobile Network Service Operator, Postpaid/prepaid plan Choosing

Recently, I did some study regarding postpaid plan in Digi, this happens since Digi Campus Prepaid Package is now back to the normal cost rate after a few years of very worth and cheap rate which suit student like me.

So then, there is another prepaid package ( Digi Prepaid (Hit RM1) ) which cost you less after you spend over RM1.00 in a day, but it still charge you for any further usage. See below:

 

Digi Prepaid Plans

I miss the time Digi Campus cost you nothing when sending sms to fnf number, which it's now a history.
There are plans to be chosen, post paid plan from Digi:

Digi Postpaid Plans

I benefit a lot from friend and family (fnf) number, which the number I do communicate with more frequent.
Fnf charges/cost:

Friend and family charging rate

Sadly, time until I write this post, any additional supplemental lines to the main number, minimum charge is increased RM30 more for each supplemental line every month. This isn't stated in any of the website of those GSM network service providers.

So far, I found Digi Hit RM1 is the worthiest plan after the D'Campus era, and when you are getting a new number for your cellphone.
The prepaid plan suitable for those who meet the average usage,
Monthly expenses :　RM30
SMS more than voice call.

Change plan from D'Campus to New Digi Hit RM1 plan is not allowed, unless you buy a new number with the plan.

Digi Prepaid Plan (Hit RM1)

Use postpaid instead if you spend average amount between RM50 and RM100++, then you should go for DG50. 

DG50 Discount Rate

 

DG50

Unfortunately, no internet charge is included in the minimum bill amount, and it's not worth to surf internet with this package since it cost RM0.10 per only 10kb. Loading a normal webpage cost you around RM1++
Choose the right plan for yourself~

Last word, for new number, go Digi Hit RM1, if sms more than talk. And go DG50 if you already own a number and spend between RM50 - RM100++ monthly.

麻坡一日游 One day trip in Muar, Johor

Have you ever wondering of having trip in your own country?
You don't have to go to the tourist attractions that usually broadcasted in the TV, only if you are looking for something different than the artificial building/culture, but sadly, those places that are seldom noticed by everyone and seldom made important of by tourist trade.
In Malaysia, there are still some places to be visited before you judge the lack of good tourist places, though all these good places don't usually paid attention by the media.
Additionally, not all(or much) meaningful and worth visiting tourist places are shown in tourist guides that you can easily get from the tourist agency.

In other words, different people different views, maybe there is part of us don't take the adventure journey as very first priority, maybe because of the toughness of the journey. Exposure under hot sun light and so on...

Let's go straight to my 1st sharing of travel sharing about Muar in Johor.
That's a one day trip, (of course there would be a second visit soon).

The trip started with a brunch:

Mee bok

This mee bok seller start their business from 7am until all sold out。 Normally, it sold out early in the morning, since it's really delicious and cheap.

Price: RM3 (by the time of this writing, and before this is RM2.50)

Avenue 4

This street is full with many kind of food stall.
You can find pork satay, fried sticky rice, fried prawn mee, otak-otak, and so on...

Muar Laksa

Fried Prawn Mee

As what's told by local resident, the number of stall around the street is getting lower because of they have no inheritor wants to continue those business.



Next, the cheapest coffee I have ever tasted in Malaysia.
There is a theme restaurant, all kind of coffee beverages are sold at half of its price during weekend from 3 - 6pm.

Little Cafe UPDATE (2014-April-28): This cafe has moved to new location, named LOTTA. check out this foursquare link for GPS location. The half price coffee only available from 3pm to 6pm everyday except public holiday. Italy Ice Cream Espresso (Affogato) Served with Espresso and Ice Cream (provided ice cream flavour - Vanilla) The taste of espresso with the sweetness and smell of vanilla. Caramel Cappuccino (forgotten) Cappuccino Mousse Cake Strawberry Mousse Cake

Facebook Link: Little Cafe
Take a visit, I like this restaurant very much, nice and cheap coffee.
Working time: Tuesday - Sunday (Business time end at 12am)

Some of coffees are no longer listed in the menu, but you can still order it.

This is just a one day trip in Muar, yes, if possible, there would be a second visit since I missed some nice foods there, and too, a second visit to Little Cafe for cheap and nice coffee.
I missed out taking the photos of some foods, that means what's shown above aren't the only thing we consumed that day. ^^


Places I visited

Memior of the Dato' Koh Thian Peng

After the brunch, we visited the well-known temple located in Muar. This is a very sanctified temple which initiated by the temple owner, Koh Thian Peng. The owner got his fame from his sanctified ‘Spirit Summoning’, and he appointed a Dato' title after he successfully cured the King in Johor from a very serious sickness with the 'Spirit Summoning' ritual.

Holy Water Source before the temple

Seaside
Play ground at seaside: PT. Jawa, Muar

Voice from the fisherman

The voice from fisherman at Muar. Since government is trying to cut down the expenses toward supplement gasoline tax for fishermen, so it ends up this manifestation.








This is just a normal green farm, a grain farm. I like its greeny feel and this was my first time got to grain farm so close.

Thing that interests me

 That row of buildings, this is the only one building that 'Standalone'. This is the only building that not connected to other building like others do. Besides, it has its unique design and colour, unlike others only in blue and same pattern entirely.
There are more historical buildings situated in Muar which I've missed, looking forward for second visit~

Muar's Food discovery:

In May, I went for a motorcycling trip in peninsular Malaysia with a friend. We passed by Muar to meet a local friend, HF. She led us to a stall which sells 菜头糕 (pronounced as cai-tou-gao).

The seller starts his business early in the morning, and if you are late, you'll miss this must-try food.

菜头糕 The food, cai-tou-gao

Trafficker is preparing the food for us.

It has egg, vege and other not-known ingredient in it, the combination of the ingredient makes a really tasty food, especially the time you eat just after it's ready to served.
