So long...

So long since I've posted up a post. 1 of my friend called me to say, everytime he views my blog, he is number 1 visitor. Should I feel happy or sorry? Happy because he is still concerning about this far-away-long-old-friend. Sorry because I haven't been updating for so long.

Have I forgotten about the reason why I had this blog? Or something else has come up as more important in my life?

Things change....people change....

What remains unchange? I wonder...

I got a very sad news from my family members...not convenient to share it here...but lets pray everything will go on well soon.

There are many times over many things sometimes I feel like crying for.

Here's one I feel weird about....

For taoist there is a practice, after praying our ancestors the food, we have to throw the coins (or others use the thing which i donno called what) to make sure that they have finish and ready so that we can burn the paper money and finish the ceremony.

So yesterday, my family went to pray my father for "chin ming"( I donno whats that call in english, but every year we have to pray our ancestors within the week). I wasn't inform for it, previously, everytime I didn't attend but at least I was informed.

My sister called me and said, no matter how they throw, it just show negative(jus example to represent it). Normally, those(family members) who have not gone to pray, my mum will need to explain why he/she is not present then promise to pray when he/she is back, and my brother(his precious son) will throw the coins only then it will go positive. But my sister said this time, not even my brother work. So my family was kinda desperate and it was very late already. So my sister and family were wondering why.

My sister then kneel down and asked, "is it because your youngest daughter didn't come back that's why you don't want let us finish the ceremony?" It goes positive immediately. (Coincidence you said?). Then my sister called me and on the hp on loudspeaker, asked me to tell my father. I did. They try again...still negative.

*I drop tears*

I asked my sister, "so how now?"

She asked me to look into the sky and pray in the heart. She will call me back in a minute. So I did.

The next call...she asked me, what did you say?

I actually told my dad I am sorry that I couldn;t make it back...I will be back to pray you in 2 weeks time. Please protect me and things like that...It is not their fault for not having me back. Pls don't make them in difficult situation, give them a positive.

After I finished, my sister said, "great...positive already"

:)

I think my dad misses me. I miss you too. I really wish you were here. The kind of support you are able to give us, is the support that nobody in the world could give us.

Pa....wo ai ni. T.T

What I encounter is an experience

07/03/2009

We (3 UTAR students) waited for bus since late 7 evening at the bus stop for bus number U41 Rapid KL beside Times Square. There are many people there mostly consist of malays. The bus came at around 8.45pm but it was too packed. So we waited for another round. Until 9.50pm the bus has not arrived. A young malay boy suddenly talk to us like wanted to quarrel, so my friend(boy) ignore him. That malay boy tap my friend’s shoulder, and after that my friend were being punched in the eye and dragged to the back of the bus stop and continuously beaten by at least 3 malay young men. I called for help but all the malays (around 30) stood by, everybody thought it was just normal fights. Until they have beaten my friend for around 3minutes, all of them ran away. My friend then only told us that they had taken his mobile phone in his pocket. My bag was carried by him was taken too. Inside consist of a camera(Sony T-100, forgot to report), wallet including Identification Card, car and motor license, credit card, atm card, UTAR student card and about RM 20 cash inside.

We had made a police report number THSL/007777/09 at Dang Wangi police station around 10.49pm. After that we sent our friend to Selayang Hospital for his injury.

After we analyze the whole incident, we realize that, the fighting were being purposely created in order to create a chaos situation where they can take advantage of it to steal and rob our belongings. This is because, we did not do anything to stir them up but they act it as if both parties were meant to fight. In between the beating, they took our belongings without us(all the witness of the situation) realizing at all. Until they have ran away, only we know what is really happening.

I have heard that many cases have already happened there with the same tactic. But it is still happening. As a UTARian, Sg Long campus student, that bus stop is the only way for us to take bus back from that area. It is very dangerous for us and thus, I hope that the media can perform their role for the society since the authority did not manage to stop this from happening again and again. I also hope that the authority can take these cases more seriously since it has already happened many times and that place is tourism hotspot. I believe that Malaysians will hope to give tourist a good impression about Malaysia especially on the safety side. I hope to warn all people to be aware of the tactics these people are using and avoid becoming the next victim.
