Separate LRT coaches for men and women

Separate LRT coaches for men and women is a new gender issue that hotly debate recently. In my opinion, it is not appropriate as it is difficult to separate the crowd. As we all know, during the peak hour, there is always the situation that women more than men. If this is enforced, some of them may miss their trip. This will be a waste of time. It will be more complicated for the passenger to choose the coach.
On the other hand, what's going to happen with potential tourists especially the mat sallehs? Obviously, they will feel weird with our cultural and if they are in one groups(men and women) it will probably discourage them from take LRT. Malaysia will reflected as a very conservative country and apperently show that we are practising and enforcing the islamic conventional morality. Come on.. we are multi-racial country... Such rule will ‘smear the reputation’ of a city...
What is the root of the problem? Gender sensitivity. The community must be educated to respect each other. Segregation is not the answer. Men are everywhere. Sexual harassment can take place anywhere as well.
Instead of focusing the gender issues and coming up with mind of numbing rules, it would be better to think of ways to educate boys and men on being respectful to women. I think, introduce gender sensitivity at all levels of education, primary, secondary and tertiary is a must!

988 Live Concert

After a week of the marathon study, i decided to take a break when one of my coursemate- Sok Ting told me that she got the tickets of 988 live Concert!
So, yesterday night we spend our whole night in Sunway breach!!!Unexpectedly, we met a lot of UM friends...Haha!!Undergraduates nowaday are so passionate with the concert ya!!What more fantastic is we saw the artists came out from Sunway Hotel and i like crazies who just keep press the camera's capture button!Btw, too bad the artists walk too fast and i cant really capture a nice photo...
The concert was really crowded but enjoyable!

The library is my new home...

It’s not been a particularly eventful day, but it’s probably for that reason that I’m feeling the need to do an update right now. Life is too monotonous...everyday keep doing the same thing!Sigh!!
Haha, as the above title, obviously you can guess where am i now. Seem everyday, i will come over to hang around at the library. Well, i am actually appreaciate that we have a nice library at this Law School. But too bad its always so cold ...almost frozen even got 2 sweater!!Perhaps we are at London now!Haha~ (Just another cold jok from Nicole-my hardworking coursemate who study together with me in library...)
With exam season coming soon, and the inevitable increase of studiers in the library, i become more stress and nervous! 3rd years, not a year of relaxing...it entails a lot of reading and brain storm. Not much time left, i feel that i really need to swot for the exam.
I asked around my coursemate and seniors as well to give me an idea of the topics probably coming in the exam. This had me a little concerned, as you never know what's coming in the test and questions tend to be kinda tricky. Hopefully the exam question not too difficult lar...
Hmm...ok lar...I need to go...
THE HORRIBLE TEXT BOOKS ARE WAITING FOR ME TO OPEN THEM ...

失眠 + 催眠

我躺在床 眼睛没办法合上
时光匆忙 剩下的时间还有多长？
随时回头看那些时光想着这些年过了一关又一关
以后会变怎样 谁给我答案
想知道有没有 不落的太阳黑夜太长
我没办法承担想要学会自我催眠
让聪明再多一些想要学会自我催眠
压力或许少一点慢慢闭上双眼
走出害怕 走出迷惘相信勇敢一点
我就不闪躲而明天 将会是美好的一天


怎么办？这几天，都没什么好睡...
每一个晚上都断断续续醒来好几次真的很累很累啊！！考试快到了，竟然患上失眠这种通病！唉！怎样才能拥有比较有Quality的睡眠呢？靠自我催眠？

Recently, as SPM result had been released, the issue of whether Matriculation or STPM to take become the hot debate topic. Many students seem like no direction in their future. As usual, I have been littering my two cents here and there in few forums that i used to visit. There is also an article which wrote by myself have been published in Nan Yang Siang Poh last week.

I decided to copy one of my ramblings over from recom's forum. In the following, I modified the text a little bit to make it more coherent and reader-friendly. All aboard! Off we go...

The question posted by the forumer sound:

For those unfortunate souls who failed to obtain straight A1s in SPM, do you intend to go for matriculation if you are offered a spot?Would you opt for STPM instead?Or would it be A levels?Since our chances of getting jpa are pretty slim, let us discuss about the possible ways to continue our education..As for matriculation, can we be guaranteed a place in a public uni of our choice with a course we want if we manage 4As?

As a pioneer of matriculation's chinese student, who are doing my 3rd years in UM currently, i think matriculation is the best and easier pathway to enter local university.
With reference of the past few years record, it is true enough that a large number of the matriculation students get places in local universities. Thus, it is not suprising that we often heard that students who do matriculation are guaranteed of places. I am not going to elaborate on matters deemed sensitive. The poor STPM students despite getting very good results have to fight it out among themselves to secure places for critical courses.

Anyhow, some people may contended that study STPM will be more easier when they further their tertiary in university. There is also some comment of STPM student is smarter or more execellent than matriculation student. For me, that is pure rubbish!
After you sucuessfully entered University, you will realize that everyone is start from zero!(Especially for my course!)

To tell the truth, i got a friend who previously same matriculation with me, did his Pharmacy Degree in UM now. He is one of the Top student in that particular course!!! So, don't simply believe the rumours that STPMers is more execellent! There are intelligent students who originate from the Matriculation system. Even smarter than STPM students. Apparently, if you're intelligent, it doesn't matter which system you originate from.
Besides, noone is going to ask whether you are originated from STPM or Matriculation after you complete your degree...

After the reply, I also get some feed back. One of the forumer contended that matriculation syllabus is very easy if compared to STPM. Here, i would like to quote his word.

"matrics student study the PRE-U course in a YEAR or less than it i would say, whoile STPM students need to undrgo 1.5 yrs of strenous day..do bear in mind, how r them suppose to cover up all the sllybus in less than a yr? i personally doubts the QUALITY and depth of knowledge gained in matricualtion...many of my frens who were stpmers, insist that while there ARE some BRILLINAT matrics student in Uni, but sadly to say, most of them STRUGGLE while in Uni, cuz the knowledge they gain in MATRICS are not adequate, so my main qustion is..how can we claim that the std of matric is on par with stpm? if it is, then y matrics is not INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED and considering the fact thta many MATRICS student dpget 4.0 flat and the absurd ratio between matrics and stpm top scorer do makes me ponder( im not BIASED ,btw), is the std matriculation on par with STPM... and i would like to plead..do plz show some respect to f6 students who have managed to get a spot in local Uni, they deserve ou respect..."

To certain extent i did actually agree with him but personally i think that if you want to score a distiction no matter in matriculation or university, you have to equip yourself with some extra knowledge and studies assiduously. There is actually some student who studied in matriculation but always demand themselves to reach the STPM level!If they themselves do not swotted or hard study, they are definately going to suffer during their 1st years in University. I admit that Matriculation syllabus is far more easier than STPM. (My sis use to be Form-6 student last time...and i myself had also compare the both syllabus before) However, i did come across some point of view of the undergraduate, they opined that there are actually not much difference of level for Matriculation and STPM student... But, undeniable, for medicine course there is still a vast gap for matric student to battle and catch up. Anyhow, as far as what i have seem in UM, matriculation student still not left behind the STPMers. Although some of the matriculation student will struggle for their studies when they notice that some of the syllabus yet covered but what benefit them is they already adapt the uni life. STPMers may not able to accomodate themselves to the change quickly. Matric will never echo to STPM. But it is an easier pathway to get a place in local University.

Matriculation or STPM?
You have to play your cards right.
