Now, 3:25AM, 11-August-2007. I don’t want to sleep because I must write this down while my memory still fresh on what happened 30 minutes ago.

After a mamak session with friends, I took the usual route to go home. I decided to take a short-cut as I usually do to skip all the annoying traffic lights. I bended into a road inside the small-medium factory area. The road is dark because of huge trees and broken street lights. At the end of the road, I saw a group of people standing over there and a few cars parking at roadside.

As I drive closer, I notice it is a group of hardworking policemen. They never set up the road block barrier, wearing jackets with Police Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) logo only. Of course with the fully-charge torch light too. I reached in front of the group and here start the action.

Police Officer A (Malay, Name Unknown) approaches towards me and flash his torch light on my face. At the same time, a few others “torch light” flashing around my car, my road-tax sticker and look inside my car. My first reflex in my mind, I speak this to myself “Hey, I am only ONE people!” . It is fine because my car has nothing illegal! After the silly flashing act, Police Officer A asks me to lower down my mirror. He wants to speak with me. As a good citizen, I always be as cooperative as I can, but I do stay alert. I checked my door switches are locked before I lower down my mirror.

Police Officer A: IC  mari. (Identity Card comes)
Me: Ya tapi apa hal? (Yes but what the matters?)
Police Officer A: Kami nak check IC awak. (We need to check your IC.)
Me: I tahu tapi apa yang sedang berlaku? (I know but what is going on?)
Police Officer A: Ada operasi. (Got operation)
Me: Ya, operasi apa? (Yes, what operation?) [Not to deny, I am very curious on what’s going on because they need my Identity card so I have to be sure what kind of operation that they are running]
Police Officer A: [Raise his voice, unhappy feeling] Dengar, OCJ, Operasi Cegah Jenayah (Listen, OCJ, Operation Deter/Prevent Crime)
Me: Ah. Ok. Saya boleh tunjuk IC tapi tak boleh bagi awak. (Ah. Okay. I can show my  Identity card but cannot give it to you) [Sue me for being a paranoid person, I am educated to be highly alert. Nobody get my Identity card unless I am in the police station!]
Police Officer A: [Raise to a louder tune] Turun kerata sekarang! (Get down from car now!)
Me: [Frighten and shout] Saya tak akan turun sehingga saya sampai balai polis! (I won’t get down until I reach the police station!) 

At this point of time, Police Officer A hands down to my car-door’s switch, pull it up! He attempted to open my door!I am getting very scare and frightening because a few people are circle in front of my car. I shouted with my very best for the rest of the conversation just to catch other’s people attention!! (I could not keep using my limited command of Malay language due to the situation, so I start to speak in English…) 

 

Me: Hey! Stop it! What I did wrong?!
Police Officer A: Buka pintu dan turun kereta! (Open the door and get down from car!)
Me: I will only get down when I am inside police station! You are not suppose to force me now!!
Police Officer A: Saya boleh tangkap awak jika awak tak kerjasama! (I can arrest you if you are not cooperative!)
Me: I say again! I will leave my car once I reach police station and I am going there now!
Police Officer A: Boleh pergi tapi turun kereta dulu! (Can go but get down from car first!) [You idiot! If I am going to police station, why I still have to get down now?]
Me: No! I don’t trust you at all. All of you wearing jackets only! Where is the uniform?!

 

Police Officer A is extremely unhappy. Now, another officer who looks more senior approaches us. The senior officer name Nathan. Nathan asked Police Officer A to leave. We start our conversation here.

 

Nathan: Hello uncle! Good morning! [Well, this folk speaks English. But… hey! I am uncle?!]
Me: Good morning Sir. How may I help you?
Nathan: We are running an operation here and we would like to seek your kind cooperation.
Me: Yes. I am trying to be cooperative but your colleague (Police Officer A) pulled up my door switch and attempted to open my car door. I am scared now! Very scared now!!
Nathan: Uncle, yes, I know about your feeling but we are having a operation to prevent crime. Lately, this area is surrounded by criminals. So we are here to protect you.
Me: Yes? You are protecting me by forcing me out from my car?
Nathan: Nooo! Uncle, let me do some clarifications on why we are doing this. Can you drive your car to the roadside?
Me: No. I am not going to move unless it is heading to the police station.

 

At this moment, another indian officer, who looks really black, stand besides Nathan and start flashing his torch light right into my face!

 

Me: [Shout out loud] Stop that! Stop the stupid light!! I hate that! I say stop it!!! [It definitely raise my fear to the max level!]
Nathan: Calm down, calm down. [Ask the indian flash-man go away]
Me: Hey, I don’t want to talk now. I want to lodge a report! I am very scare!!
Nathan: No sir, please don’t go. I haven’t finish. We are doing our job for your good.
Me: Yes. I know but not for me this time. It is enough for me. Can I go?
Nathan: No sir. We have the right to stop you and seek your cooperation.
Me: Yes! Since when I am not cooperative?
Nathan: You need me to show your my ID?
Me: No, no need. I can’t recognize anything!! [Textbook never teach how a police ID card looks like!!] 

Here, the Police Officer A comes back again.

 

Police Officer A: We can arrest you just because you refused to follow our instruction!
Me: Yes! Please arrest me! Please arrest me to the nearest police station!! PLEASE!!! [Yes. I purposely shout like a bastard. But who cares? I am alone, they are a group! Shout first die later!!]

Nathan pushes away the Police Officer A and resume our conversation.

 

Nathan: So, where you are going now?
Me: I want to leave!
Nathan: Yes but please give me your IC. I need to note down your name and IC number!
Me: No. I cannot give you. But I can show you!

Nathan shows a piece of paper written with a lot of names to me.

Nathan: See. This is a list that we get. Every people did the same. Can I have your IC?
Me: Yes. I hold it and show you!
Nathan: [Show very disappointed face] I need to copy your details.
Me: Yes. I allow it but I need to hold my own IC only!!

I hold my Identity card and flash it to Nathan TWICE just like the flash their torch light on me!

Nathan: …
Me: I am a Malaysian. See my IC!! [It is damn proud to be a Malaysian, not?!]
Nathan: Yes Yes… you may go now.
Me: Thank you!

 

I reach home safely. I don’t feel sleepy. I get khang on MSN and chatted about it. We feel it is a need to go to the police station, to do a verification regarding the roadblock. It is because they really looks suspicious without wearing formal uniform and never setup any barrier to do the operation.

We (khang and me) headed to the Kepong Police Station, explained my incident. After some minutes, it is verified that is really an operation going on but they lodged no report for me…

Please, if you read until this part. I believe you care about what is happening. Please do your best to tell your family, friend or anybody you know. Never get down from your car, never give your IC to anyone, never take any challenge from stranger (like the policemen above). It is a clear show on my incident. They cannot charge or arrest you because you are shouting or refused to get down from car!  I did my best to verify this issue at the nearest police station. I am a good citizen. I hopes you do the same if you encounters thing like this.

Last but not least, PDRM deserve a credit for working hard to prevent crimes!

But I give them a big thumbs down for being so rude and aggressive to the innocent!! Booooo!!!!!

Today, a friend send a MSN message to me, ask about how to translate Chinese to English.


Without any delay, my “reflex” comes! Fire up my web browse, key in translate.google.com into the address bar! I am expecting a 404 error or Page Not Found response but… …


Viola! It loads the Google Translate BETA! I am so happy that Google always knows what I needs and prepare it before I scream for it! It is really my best friend! Never fail me!! LoL.


Immediately, I test it with a simple sentence. Wow! See?! It is so accurate and it never lie! It translate the Chinese sentence to English sentence correctly! The translation never mess up the meaning of the sentence. Good job, Google! After that, I try with other sentences. As a result, for short and simple sentence, it can translate nicely. For longer or complex sentence, it can’t really perform as good as expected. But it is good enough to do simple translation job! It is online! No need to install anything!! The most important is FREE of charge!!! Can you complaint?


It supports 25 types of translations! You can help Google Translate to improve the future release by “Suggest a better translation”! You can be part of the team too! 🙂 Sounds great?


Last but not least, you can translate a web page with this tool!


Yes! For all readers who don’t know how to read Chinese! You can use this tool to translate my Chinese blog-post into English! From now onwards, you will never miss any of my post! :xd:


 




 


Happy Translating!!

两个星期前的晚上,家里停电了。少了电力的供应,有很多事情都无法进行。:circle: 不可以上网,没有电视看,没有音乐听,没有了风扇,没有了灯光,一切一切的事情就这样的停顿了。这就是所谓的文明吧!:sigh:


停电的夜晚,让我想起了在非法木屋区居住的情况。 因为那里是常常停电的。可能你们会认为非法木屋是很简陋的吧。生活环境也真的是有点抱歉的,可是基本的生活设备还是齐全的。你们应该很难想象在城市,居然还存在着非法木屋。现在已经被拆掉了哦。。。:cry:


在那里住了20多年,居家的前面就是老爸的修车厂。每天的废气不断的排出。吸了20多年,也还没有死啊!证明了人是有很强的生命力和适应力的。:goodjob:


屋子的后方就是一片树丛。里面充满了山珍海味蛇虫鼠蚁。还记得我房间的天花板上时常会有老鼠追逐的声音。这让我想起了有一次有老鼠死在天花板上,腐烂了,然后有虫虫从天花板点下来 :coldsweat: 。。。 哈哈!现在想起才知道恶心, 当时的我根本不当是一回事 :desk: 。。。 呵呵!


除此还有几次家里入蛇的情况。:ogod: 哈哈!是啊!蛇~~~软啪啪, 滑潺潺的蛇哦!你有试过打蛇吗?有听过蛇的惨叫声吗??我们都不会抓蛇,所以一有发现就把它打死!:namor: 不要告我哦!我没钱的。。。 很多的情况都是老爸或者年长的长辈操刀打蛇的。我只有一次的经验。那一次是那条蛇爬入了我的睡房。。。 对啊!睡房!我叫了外公来帮忙。 嘻嘻!毕竟我一个人还是会怕的 :shy:。。。顺利的把蛇杀了后,在清理凶案现场时,才发现那条死蛇居然是蜗居在饭厅的橱子后面。因为在那里发现了一大堆蛇大便 :surprise: 。。。 哇哈哈哈!与蛇同居了多久啊?时常都会发现一些小动物例如四脚蛇,变色龙,田鼠,青蛙等等的。哦!还有水鱼!!可以吃的水鱼啊!:yes:


报纸还时常写城市里的小孩失去了去大自然接触的机会。到底我不是城市小孩还是报纸乱写啊?:sweat:


哈哈!真的难以想象以前的生活。比起来,现在真的改善了非常多了。:xingfu:


我的生活还有趣吧?可惜的是当时没有相机,不然可以图文并茂的给你们看!:yawn:


好了,不多写了,免得有人看到杜兰。。。:bye:

 

比较

On August 6, 2007, in Chinese, General, Life style, by Kok mING

人类是一种稀有的生物。依靠着不断的进化,不停的向前跑。。。就算落后了,也要紧追别人的脚步的往前冲。:car1:

何时开始,人们学会了比较,更将比较的学问衍生成鞭策自己的途径。:glass: 但是也有些人将比较当作贬低他人的道具。:or:

从小到大,我都是在比较中成长。母亲喜欢拿我的学业成绩来更其他人比较,往往都是悲剧收场啊。。。母亲没说几句就火大了,:onfire: 有时会骂, :you:也有时候会打。:hit1: 想起来就真的无辜辜的啦。 我自问不是天才,也没有伟大的遗传因子来帮助我。在15岁之前,都是在这种人比人,比死人的情况下长大。:autism:

在长期的比较环境下长大,在15岁以后,我慢慢的变成了不是怎么关心自己的家伙。。。 就像不必理会体重上升因为比我胖的人还多,读不到第一班反正我还在第二班,比我差的还大有人在。。。 渐渐的养成了这种安慰自己的比较。:smoker:

其实,人类是犯贱的生物,永远都不会满足。就像我毕业了,出来找工作的时候,也常常的比较谁谁谁找到了高薪的工作,谁谁谁又升职了。然后又开始了埋怨和妒忌的心理,比这个,比那个的, 没完没了的。:ono:

就算爱情也不例外,喜欢比较谁爱谁多一点,谁又为谁做了些什么的。。。 现在想起来,觉得很可笑。因为爱情不可以做比较的!

任何东西都是不可以比较的,除非它是完全一样的。例如昨天你赚了50元,今天赚了30元,比较之下,你赚少了。可是,昨天和今天是不同的日子啊,昨天人潮可能比较多啊。要比较,一定要有一个共同的基础。没有基础的比较是不值一提的废话。

现在的我依然还会有比较的习惯,但是这些比较都是为了看清楚别人与自己的差别,然后自我改善。不需要紧紧地追着别人不放,我们只要从中吸取他人的经验就可以了。你们不需要超越任何伟大的人物,只要不停的超越自己就好了。:glass:

每当我空闲时,我就会想想最近发生的事情,用不同的角度去看,然后再比较得到的结果。可能你会觉得我太多时间了,但是我觉得这样的比较,可以让我的思路更加的广阔,也可以不断地自我检讨。我不会后悔已经发生的事物,因为没有过去的我,我也不能变成现在的我。:bingo:

你呢?今天你比较了吗??过去的你和现在的你,有何不同呢???

 

200磅美女

On August 4, 2007, in Chinese, Life style, Life style | Entertainment, Nonsense, by Kok mING

看了这部韩国电影后,我觉得里面的故事还过得去。 当然这是一部童话式的电影。一切的剧情都是朝着观众对现实童话幻想的方向发展。

一个200磅的女孩,竟然用了1年的时间整容和修身。200磅的丑女也顺利的变成了一位人见人爱,车见车载,棺材见开盖的美女了。

纵然故事上还是存在着无限的漏洞, 可是整体来说,她却带出了现实的残酷和无情。。。 当女主角还是胖女的时候,过着被人嘲笑的日子,对着所爱的人那种有爱又说不出口的自卑,再加上被人利用和欺骗的遭遇。。。 真的将肥胖人的辛酸完全的表现了。

变成美女之后,她的生活也开始因为她的美貌和与生俱来的歌声而大大改善了。但是我觉得这部戏最有吸引力的地方是将女主角完全不被公众认同的情况,转变到万人迷的剧情。我不知道女主角是否是一位歌手,但是在电影里,她那充满魅力的舞台表演真的不错。

由胖到瘦,由丑到美,连最后公开了自己原本200磅女孩的事实,她依然是很受欢迎。这是都市里的童话,几乎是不可能发生的。

如果你的女人是这样的一个“整形”美女, 你真的不介意吗?你真的可以忍受吗?一段时间过后,你会后悔吗?

奇迹一定会发生,但是你愿意给奇迹一个机会吗?在现实生活里,真的有人愿意等待童话吗?

一切的疑问,在还没有得到答案之前都是美丽的。。。

 

 

 

 

这里有一个离题的问题,来看看大家的看法吧。(因为我觉得在某个程度上,这些问题的答案可以让我们更接近真实)

最近唱Negarakuku的那位仁兄,锋头很劲啊。每个人都称赞他的歌和实力。我想问一个歌手最想知道答案的问题和一个现实题。

1. 如果他出唱片,你会买吗?

2. 如果他不幸被大马政府关了起来,你们(支持者)会去救他吗?我不是说网上/纸上请愿啊!是真正的行动哦!
