RACIAL INTEGRATION IN MALAYSIA

HI, FRIENDS!!!! HOW ABOUT YOUR HOLIDAY? DO YOU ENJOY IT? I HOPE SO. :)
I'M NOT SURE WHETHER YOU WILL READ MY OPINION ABOUT RACIAL INTEGRATION IN MALAYSIA BUT I WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU. I GOT THE IDEA TO SHARE ABOUT RACIAL INTEGRATION SEEN SEVERAL UNWANTED INCIDENTS HAPPENED IN OUR COUNTRY RECENTLY.

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT RACE? IN MY OPINION, RACE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN BELIEFS, RELIGION, CULTURE AND OTHER PECULIAR CHARACTERISTICS. MEMBERS OF A RACE ARE VERY PROUD OF THEIR RACE AND WOULD DEFEND WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN OR THEIR WAY OF LIFE IF THEY ARE THREATENED IN ANY WAY.

AS WE KNOW, THERE ARE THREE MAJOR RACES HERE IN MALAYSIA, THE MALAYS, THE CHINESE AND THE INDIANS . SO FAR WE HAVE MANAGED VERY WELLTO STAY AS ONE NATION DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES. ONLY THE MAY 13 INCIDENT IN 1969 SPOILED AN OTHERWISE PERFECT CO-EXISTENCE.

THE PEOPLE OF MALAYSIA HAVE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE UGLY INCIDENT. MOST HAVE LEARNED THAT RACIAL STRIFE IS INTOLERABLE AND NOT WORTH THE BLOOD SHED. MORE THAN THAT, WE HAVE LEARNED TO HELP THE COUNTRY PROSPER DESPITE ALL THE DIFFCULTIES. WHILE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE ROCKED BY RACIAL RIOTS, WE LIVE IN HARMONY.

HOWEVER THIS LIVING IN HARMONY DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS RACIAL INTEGRATION. RACIAL INTEGRATION IS COMBINATION OF ALL THE RACES TO MAKE ONE UNIQUE MALAYSIAN RACE. THE BASIC DIFFICULTY LIES IN THIS PROBLEM; WHICH RACE IS GOING TO GIVE UP ITS CULTURE OR BELIEFS, SO THAT IT SUITS THE OTHER RACES? FROM WHAT I SEE, NO RACE IS GOING TO DO THAT VOLUNTARILY. CULTURE AND RELIGION ARE TOO DEEPLY INGRAINED IN US FROM THE MOMENT WE ARE BORN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE ONE'S BELIEFS.

SO, WE ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO LIVE IN RACIAL HARMONY, NOT INTERGATION. WE HAVE HAD MANY YEARS OF PRACTICE IN HARMONY SO I SEE NO REASON WHY WE CANNOT GO ON AS USUAL. SO WHILE WE MAY NOT INTEGRATE COMPLETELY, WE HAVE THE NEXT BEST THING- HARMONY. FOR THAT WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL AND, WE ALSO HAVE TO TRY OUR BEST TO MAINTAIN THE HARMONY AMONG OTHER RACES. WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY AGAINST UNWANTED INCIDENTS. HOW ABOUT YOU FRIENDS???? DO YOU AGREE WITH ME??? WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? :) :) ;)

yUmMy YOguRT~~

Salam and hello to everyone..

Here I would like to share with all of you on topic of ‘Yummy Yogurt” which is on of my favorites. Have you noticed that the yogurt section of most grocery stores has practically taken over the dairy aisle? It’s getting harder to find more traditional dairy foods, such as cottage cheese and sour cream, amid the sea of yogurt options. But it only makes sense that a food with as many health benefits as yogurt be given prime real estate in the supermarket.

And just what are the health benefits of yogurt? For your information, it’s benefit beyond the nutritional.

First off, our body needs to have a healthy amount of ''good'' bacteria in the digestive tract, and many yogurts are made using active, good bacteria. One of the words you’ll be hearing more of in relation to yogurt is ''probiotics.'' Probiotic, which literally means ''for life,'' refers to living organisms that can result in a health benefit when eaten in adequate amounts.
In fact, the health benefits of yogurt are so impressive that many health-conscious people make it a daily habit. Here are five possible health benefits of having a yogurt a day. Firstly, yogurt may help prevent of osteoporosis. 'Adequate nutrition plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and the micronutrients of greatest importance are calcium and vitamin D. As we know, yogurt is enriching with calcium and also vitamins.

Next, it is essential to be consumed as it may reduce high blood pressure. An observation have done shown that 50% reduction in the risk of developing high blood pressure among people eating 2-3 servings of low-fat dairy a day (or more), compared with those without any intake of it. Although it is mentioned that the samples are taking low-fat dairy in this research, but low-fat yogurt is also include in it. Thirdly, yogurt with active cultures helps the gut and may solve many gastrointestinal conditions such as lactose intolerance, constipation, diarrhea, colon cancer, and inflammatory bowel system. Besides, active cultures in yogurt may discourage of vaginal infection which a common problem among the diabetes women. Another benefit is yogurt may help you feel fuller. Those who had the yogurt snacks did not eat fewer calories at the next meal and it resulted in lower hunger ratings and higher fullness ratings than either of the other snacks. Thus, yogurt makes a perfect snack!

Eventually, I hope that all of you got some new information and starts to find yogurt right now!!! Hmm..yummy yogurt… (‘’,)

With that..I thank you.. =]

All the best for exam!!!

A piece of my thinking..

Salam and hi to everyone..

Fuhh..an ocean of topic we have here. It seems like I did not afford to give a comment on each topic. Its 19 Syawal today, so it is still ‘Hari Raya’!!! To Madam and friends, I wish ‘Selamat Hari Raya’ and sorry for any mistakes that I have made.

Firstly I would like to comment upon the Aisyah’s topic which is about tips to study. As we are struggling in the corner of the coming examination, we need to consider her points. In other words, we need to find a really good and effective way of study in order to catch up with our heavily burden course. Like Aisyah stated, it’s true that all of us are made differently so as our style of study. But somehow, we should know our strength and adjust it with our style or way of study. Some of people may good in memorizing the picture, and some may in wording. What is important is, we must focus and committed of what we are going to do.

Next, I would discuss about organ donation from Ying Ying. To me, organ donation is the most honorable charity in the world as there a few of people who are willing to sacrifice their own organs to others especially to somebody that did not have any relationship with them. But most of it is donor from family members or relatives as it is more suits to the recipient.

Upon Adila’s posting about the exercise, I attracted with the walking exercise as it can help to improve our heart health. Besides that, it can also strengthen up our feet. Thus, I hope that I can follow the good ideas of it and let’s exercise!!!

That’s all for this time..thank you..=]

This was posted in August but I put it in Yong's comment.

In my point of view, PTPTN online application has it own advantage and disadvantage. As the government try to make the application to be more sophisticated towards the globalization world today, it leads to many consequences to the applicants over the Malaysia.

On the good side, as Airina had mentioned before, PTPTN online can make students or applicants be more educated and full of skills on using this Information Technology (IT) whether they are live in urban area or even the rural area. Technology of computer can be denied as the most important gadget over the world nowadays. For a student like us, it is necessary to know the basic of computer at least using the Microsoft Word. What would happen if the lecturer gives a task and they are compulsory to do it with computer? Sooner or later, they have to learn it. So, it is good to start as soon as possible.

In addition, most of the applications such as loan and scholarship right now are intend to do it online. However, applicants must know the disadvantage of this online application and hence we must be patient with it. Several common problems that occur while applying the PTPTN are wrong password, unable to log in, and etc. like Yong has stated. I also had experienced these kinds of problems before where I could not log in and it is stated that I did not get the loan but the Ministry of High Education has already gives the password. In a nutshell, I think that the problem of PTPTN online has it own benefit and disadvantage. Moreover, I hope that the government will upgrade the system so it will be more efficient and convenient.

That’s all from me..

Thank you.. =]

hehe.....it have been two week from the holiday , so fast the time is going on without consciousness.......today i have another issue about drug addiction that i want to share to share..

In my opinion, drug addiction is a condition characterized by compulsive drug intake, craving and seeking, despite what the majority of society may perceive as the negative consequences associated with drug use...
I am totally agreed with yana opinion.If one person abuse or become addicted to drug ,so bad effect will indirectly come to them. The drug may create a wide variety of mental and physical health problems in a person such as fatigue, headache, nausea and irritability. All this bad symptoms indirectly will affect our daily life activity.
why i have such idea?? This is because the drug addict person normally or mostly will easily have hot- temper than an normal human being.In doing some work, them can not think peacefully or don't think twice l,so mostly when they meet the problem, them cant handle it well if compare to a normal person...
Beside that ,some composition in drug such as caffeine,nicotine,hallucinogen and barbiturate. All this substance are very harmful to our body.For example,caffeine found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, cocoa, and in some over-the-counter drugs such as pain killers, diet pills, cough and cold remedies, high doses may cause nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, headaches, nervousness or agitation, and the shakes. In an additional to headaches and nervousness.,caffeine may increase rates of miscarriage and low birth weight.
So ,i think ,the drug addiction is harmful to our body health,is the fact we can not deny.
But , we also can give the such suggestion that although being addicted implies drug dependence , it is possible to be dependent on a drug without being addicted. People that take drugs to treat diseases and disorders, which interfere with their ability to function, may experience improvement of their condition.Such persons are dependent on the drug, but are not addicted. One is addicted, rather than merely dependent, if one exhibits compulsive behavior towards the drug and has difficulty quitting it.
Finally,i concluded that drug is harmful is beng abused.Its disadvantages is far more than its advantages, so the parent today must give more attention on thier children for preventing them from drug abuse .Then ,them finally be a member of drug addicts......
.......phang........

GOALS IN LIFE

Hi are not exercising regularly and her advice hopefully help you.Besides that eat balanced diet especially fresh fruits to ensure a good health.
Hei before I forget did you guys hear about the incident about two policemen were shot dead during a drug raid in Sungai Buluh. So terribeveryone. Glad to hear again from you all after Raya. I found your comments and postings are really good, the drug, exercise and first Malaysian to space. But Adila’s caught me the most. I see that most dental students le that the criminals no longer fear of police.I can’t imagine what will happen to our nation if this kind of incident keeps escalating.
Ok let’s move to the main topic I want to share with you friends. It sounds quit interesting for me and be for you too if you read. Guess want? Alright there’s no more suspends. Its about goals in life. Goals are objectives or aims that we have set for ourselves which we hope to achieve within a given time frame. We may have long-term goals like career ambitions or dreams to fulfill which may take years and great effort. While short-term goals are usually simple tasks which we would like to achieve over a short period of time, for example, to complete an assignment from class before end of day.
To be successful in life, we should have goals and make it a point to achieve them. Achieving a goal can be one of the most rejoining and fulfilling times in your life. It helps to raise your self-esteem and gives you the confidence you need to spur you on for greater and more challenging goals. Many achievements made by the great and famous people can be attributed to goals which seemed impossible. Thomas Alwa Edisson, for example had invented electric light and thousands other inventions like telegraph machine beyond his own peoples expectations. He achieved his goal after several unsuccessful attempts which took many years, trials and errors.
We often set goals which we believe are achievable and desirable. Yet we sometimes fail to achieve them. We find the process of realizing these goals arduous and painful, so we give up. Lack of confidence and fear of taking chance are other reasons for our defeat.
Most individuals have their own way of achieving goals.Some people agree putting their goals down on a pierce of paper is one way of assessing the task involved in achieving them. It is common for people to write their new year resolution in a brand new diary. Writing our goals commits us to them and they also serve as motivating remainders when we feel like giving up.
Another method that helps us achieve our goals is picturing ourselves having achieved
It.We imagine ourselves savouring the victory. Our sense of achievement would be very strong and lighten up. I would prefer the second method as it is more ideal.
Goals give directions to our lives. When we know what we want and acknowledge our limits, we make our life more meaningful and fulfilling. Besides raising our own self-esteem, it motivate others like our little brothers or sisters to follow in our footsteps.
Our mission for success lie in everything we do. So don’t wait for things to happen but make it happen.
Mmmmm, that will do for now. I’m so tired and till we meet again tata bye bye.
