Back to School Again


Yes I know. I have not been updating my blog for quite some time now. As usual, I’ve been busy and lazy :) No deny about that! During the semester holidays, besides teaching, I’ve been busying myself with other activities, like watching movies with my beloved ones (the latest was The Incredible Hulk, which was simply amazing!Thanks to Rafael for insisting me to go watch this movie.) and going for theatre at KL Pac to watch Air Con. It was exciting to get to know the insight of certain group of people even though it’s not really suitable for underage kids due to its vulgarity and offensive language. The play somehow leaves me with lots of question marks in my head, all left unanswered. I guess that is what the screenwriter is trying to highlight in regards to this never-ending issue. For a first timer, Shanon Shah has done a good job. Objective achieved and message conveyed. I am looking forward to watch another play again…if time permits of course…sigh.

The day I’ve been waiting for finally has arrived. Today was my first day of the new semester and this too, means that I am now in my second semester as a Masters student. This semester I signed up for two compulsory courses, Literary Theory and Critical Appreciation. I may sign up for another elective course, Literature from the Indian Sub-Continent, not really sure though. Like the previous semester, I need to do a lot of reading and reviews on novels as well as reading criticism books. In tonight’s class, 18 students who turned up today were given a brief outline of the course- Critical Appreciation. I know this semester is going to be a lil tough than before but I am still looking forward to all the assignments and presentations and can’t wait to go book hunting at Mph and Borders with my friends again.

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu...

Happy Birthday Beloved PM

Image
Today is his 69th birthday. When asked what does he want for his birthday, he replied, "nothing expensive". A very humble person he is. That is one of his many good qualities. The following short and simple poem is dedicated to this humble and respected man, though the person himself may not read it. Nothing expensive from me. My jackets are made of leather, My cups are made of porcelain clay, Storm or sunshine, any kinds of weather, May the Lord bestows upon you a blissful and prosperous birthday! Happy birthday dear Prime Minister. It is sad to know the hardship you have gone through in your political life, but at the same time I am impressed with your strong personality in facing those calamities. May you have a smooth sailing in your journey of life. ~Swan Princess~

Malaysian Heritage

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama...
