------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So, the winner of the Malaysian Dream Girl (I shall refer it as Malaysian Daddy's Girl from now on) has been decided and it was no surprise seeing who took the title. Pathetic. Yes, I am utterly disappointed with the result which sees money having the last say over quality. Just like in any other reality shows, the result will always be decided by popularity but I from my humble opinion, Malaysians just failed everybody. To have such model which has such a lousy attitude to represent Malaysia on a bigger stage after this, I just feel really MALU.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone has their own opinion, but make sure you make the right choice and vote based on emotions. Perhaps those voted for her (except her sugar daddy of course) should consume more carrots from know on. Why?
Because you don't see any rabbits wearing glasses, do you?
I have something that keep on bothering my mind that I think I need to address on. It gave me several times of thinking over this matter, whether or not I should post up this entry as it is likely that it would make myself sounding like the bad guy here. I decided to carry on writing on this and let the rest decide if I am the bad guy after all. This is going to be an entry which will sound more to a ranting post and if you are not interested to carry on reading, that will just be perfectly fine with me. The incident happened this morning is quite common among us, including myself and I shall say it is more like a Malaysian "Tidak-Apa" attitude that we always find it difficult to get rid of. It was a trip to a tulip farm today, organised by a particular society called 雪つばき (Yuki Tsubaki), comprised of the international students and several mostly-retired college lecturers. As always, we will be given a form to confirm our attendance for each trip and it is not compulsory for us to join in every trip organised. This time it was no exception, just that there were fewer people joining it compared to last year. Nothing wrong on that because usually, it will be the newly arrived students who make-up most of the participants. As for the seniors, they have gone to the same place last year and the tight school schedule nowadays just make it hard for them to find much free time. It was otherwise for me, and a few other seniors as well. So, all of us handed-up the forms and the group which was supposed to go this time should be around seven to eight people, excluding the four lecturers who will be taking us there.
The day came, and when I got to the normal spot we used to assemble before we set off for any trips, there were only one other junior there. It was already a couple of minutes past the time we were supposed to assemble but surprisingly, the Japanese lecturers were not there yet. An uncommon sight, because we all know that Japanese are really particular when it comes to punctuality. I guess they have had enough of our infamous attitude of coming late that they decided to follow our "pattern" this time. Perhaps that was just my own assumption, but I didn't know that worse thing will come afterwards. About five minutes later, the four lecturers arrived in their cars, four in total expecting that everyone who had handed-up their forms will turn up, unless they suffer from last minute sickness that morning. However, the next thing they found out was, only four of us will be joining them. You heard that correctly. FOUR person.
Unbelievable as it may sound, but that was the fact. I could see the surprised feeling among the lecturers in their face, but of course they didn't mention anything about that. Most of the reason given was that they were sick. That is comprehensible and you cannot blame them for falling sick because I am quite sure they didn't want to be in such condition either. However, it was otherwise for others. They claimed that they had some other commitments (personal and study related stuffs) and unable to join the rest. That is, also comprehensible. Despite so, the least they could have done was to inform either one of the lecturers the night before the trip that they could not make it and not make the lecturers coming with four cars. Sadly, they didn't. Talking about taking something for granted and for this case, it appeared to be a little bit too much. I just feel that this is a very bad attitude towards the others. It just shows how immature they are for not being able to carry a small responsibility of informing the lecturers earlier. These lecturers are not obligated to organising trips for the international students. However, they took some time off from their daily schedule to plan and take us around, yet not gaining any special financial benefits. Furthermore, we are not required to pay a single yen on most of the trip. I am not trying to say that I have been influenced by the Japanese way of thinking, but this is some basic thing in life that require nothing more than some cow sense. I am just voicing out my opinion from a general stand. Besides, it will certainly leave a bad impression towards the rest of the international students and I believed our image has been tarnished to a certain extend, just because of some irresponsible acts coming from some quarters. More likely than not, they will assume that every single Malaysian has such attitude, which I cannot disagree totally on that because the majority of us have grown up in the "Tidak-Apa" environment since we were young. I am not an exception either. Nonetheless, it just depends on when and how we carry that attitude, at the right time and in an acceptable way. Again, you may think why am I so particular on this minor thing and putting excessive attention to what the Japanese would think of our attitude. I choose to digress. What stated above are entirely based on my personal opinion and I would like to know what will be your take on this. You can throw me with criticisms if you feel that I rightly deserve them, but I hope that it will be a constructive one, and not a baseless disapproval that come before they are given enough thoughts and considerations first. Thank you.
