New template , new look , new atmosphere , i myself feel gigi to use by blog , need to play around to get use to it . This sudden change is to obey by readers request to change by blog's old template , here you go , a new template(blog's theme) as you all want .

Story time , Children Living Parent's Dream.... This particular topic hits my mind after i saw today's news , hundreds of students get straight 5As and 7As in their UPSR exam . Wow , congrats to you all .

Parents nowadays really taking care of their children , event before a child born , they already have a dream about the future of the unborn baby . Since the first day the baby born , everything done by the parents to make sure bright future of their children . Their child grow and become a adult . At that point of time , if we turn back and look at the life of the child , we can notice that , the child , all this time until he grow up be a adult , he/she has been leave the dream of their parents .

The child go to the primary school the parents choose . When finishing their primary school, the child fulfill parent's first dream , getting excellent UPSR result . In a such young age , the kind overcome all the pressure and do it for their parent . Children's exam result is of the pride collection of parents nowadays .Than the children enter secondary school . Here the children becoming a teenager . Here , the parents moll their child according to their dream , from the people they talking to until the way they dress up . When the option of Science or Arts stream come in to picture after form 3 , the parents push the children according to their(parents) dream , most of the time . Here comes the result of SPM at the end of secondary school life . This also the time the dream of the parents come true again , by the time the result come out , the parents already chose the higher education path of their child , according to their(parents) dream . Most of the time , the children also follow the path choose by their parents . Parents go back home happily , and the son/daughter go to the university or collage ,choice of their parents , carrying the dream of the parents . After few years , the children fulfill major part of their parents dream by graduated as a Lawyer , Engineer , Doctor , IT professional , and etc .

Now the teenager enter another part of their life as young man/woman . But their parents dream not finished yet . The parent's dream even include , how their children's live partner should look like . Hence , the young man/woman will married with live partner choose by their parents according to their dream . If the young man/woman have their own choice of live partner , they have to make sure all the criteria meets their parents expectation , include cast(Indians).

Now you all can see , how a child living their parents dream ? Actually most of the youngster not bad as the parents always describe . The children(youngsters) willing to live the dreams of their parents , for the happiness of their parents . At the same time , im also not saying that , parents doing something bad . Actually parents working hard for the well being of their children . What i trying to emphasis is, just give a small space to your child, so THEY CAN LIVE THEIR OWN DREAM .

Note:This post follows Malaysian education system , UPSR PMR SPM, lol . For most of you , this post wont make any sense , but few who out there who realy can feel or experienced what i try to explain , this post i specialy dedicate to you all .

Most of the time i will get inspiration to write an article comes from conversation with my friends or personal observation . This post is the second type . two days back , when passing by few blogs , reading the articles , one particular article make me stop and read it until finish . By the time i finish read it , i decided to not just comment but write whole new article to reply that specific article . The title of the article is "Close Down All Tamil Schools" . The blogger just referring to an article which came out on year 2000 . But the way he argue the facts make me write this reply article . Note : i does not have any personal problem with him , just voicing out my point of view . If can read the article i talking about(click here) , before continue reading this article. Because i do not want cut and past his whole post into this article .

He started his article by connecting Tamil schools with gangsterism . Than relating , poor education system of tamil schools lead to born of young Indian gangsters . Cool . He continued with by stating , not much can be achieved by learning tamil . He ask , all Tamil schools should be closed down , and all children should enrolled in National school. Later he suggest a solution to teach Tamil in National School .

How dare he can say all that , Tamil schools are image of Indians , the pride of each ethnic depends on their language , ........ Don't worry , i wont argue that same old hypocrite sentences . Let we talk in wider and more rational manner in discussing the fate of Tamil Schools .

Back to his point , Tamil schools born place for Indian gangsters because they can't cope up in secondary school . OK i admit that, if we now in the year before 1999 . Can't you see , Tamil schools transformed into a place which produce dozens straight 7A's students . Especially after year 2000 . Ya i admit , still there some drop outs , but not serious as he said . Compare and see , in UPSR nowadays , Indian students from tamil schools getting Straight 7As are far more than the Indian student who get straight 5As in National Schools . He questioned the parents who neglect the future of their child by sending them to tamil school . Recent facts showing that , more and more Indian parents sending their child to tamil schools . Because they know which is good for their child .

"I studied in a national school and learnt to read, write and communicate in Tamil without much problem although my mother tongue is Malayaalam. Isn't that enough?"(Part of his article) , My answer will be , not enough at all . Why ? with just read and communicate in Tamil can make him feel and do all this :

Culture -
Culture covers many aspects , few attributes which make a culture pride is , Litereture(Sastera) , holly song(tevarem) , historical facts( ramayanem , etc ) , prayers ( saraswathy poojei ) , adat resam( this in malay , i don't know how to mention it in english) and many more . A student in a tamil school will be thought in all this things indirectly though the Tamil school's teachers and culture . It is the way of life in Tamil schools . This atmosphere not possible at all for Indian students in National schools . A student can't feel non of this , by just knowing read and communicate in Tamil .

Entertainment -
Do you think and believe , a good song or movie only can be produced with in depth knowledge of that language ? For me yes , for example , tamil nadu's songs more superior in quality compare to tamil songs from any other part of the world . Why ? beside , music technology and good voice , lyrics of a song play the vital part in a song . If you notice each song is a quality poem . A poem will be manipulated with different words , music technology , and good voice to produce a famous and hit song . Even to sing a hip hop or rap song like our Yogi b or chacrasonic , we need a good lyrics and accurate pronunciation to come out with this kind songs . Do you think , with just read and communicate in Tamil , can make us do all this things properly ? If you think yes , Yogi b and chacrasinoc will be our last export of rapers to Tamil Nadu , lol .

I can go ahead and write whole day , but it is hard to explain this sophisticated things , even the facts above i tried my best to explain with my not well verse engilsh .

Back to simple facts . Im not Tamil school crony until neglect national unity . One school for all , only possible if :

• No one have hidden agenda for the survival for their own language .
• The government fair to all languages .
• Everybody believe and given chance to believe that they are true Malaysians , and not so called Malaysians .

Sorry for the complication and the length of the article . I can't make it shorter or simpler with my not well versed english , lol .

NOTE : i invited the owner of the "Close Down All Tamil Schools" article to read and comment , lets wait and see .

This is the picture of small public hall at the ground floor of a flat , near my place . why it looks like this ? Reason , few month back , approximately about 5 months , destroyed in fire . Before that , the small public hall been used by the flat residents for birthday , marriage function , and election campaign booth . The small public hall which been one of the use full flat facility , now out of order since last 5 months .

This place been visited by my area's MP(Member of Parliament) and ADUN( Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri) . The drama here is , the MP( Indian ) is from KEADILAN , and the ADUN from UMNO . ADUN of my area , visited this place , and inform the residents of the flat that , there is enough fund available to fix this place immediately . But the residents do not want the ADUN fix the place . They want the MP of our area fix the place for them because most of them openly admit that they vote for this new opposition MP and now they want to see how this new MP replying their "mandat" . After few days, the MP came to this place , and the residents voice out their request . The MP replied that , this issue/problem under ADUN and he can't do much about it . Still the residents adamant , and they want the MP to solve this issues and not the ADUN . To satisfie the residents, the MP promised to fix the place and went back . No news from the MP after that , and the ADUN still waiting to fix the place , and this situation remain the same since last five months .

The point here , this public facility need to be fixed , but whose mistake is this ,until this small public hall not been fixed even after five months?

• Is that the mistake of adamant flat residents who does not understand "bidang kuasa" of ADUN and MP ?
• Is that the mistake of ADUN who fail to convince the adamant residents ?
• or is that mistake of MP who make fault promise and make the residents wait?

End of the day , the residents didn't get anything , and the politicians not doing anything ......

Democrat candidate Barack Obama has been elected as the United States first black president following his historic win over his Republican rival John McCain.

The 47-year-old father of two, who will be inaugurated as the 44th US president on Jan 20, 2009, has however inherited an economy mired in the worst financial crisis since the 1930s, two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and a nuclear showdown with Iran.

Television networks projected his victory over McCain after Obama solidified traditional Democratic states and cut deep into the Republican territory which his rival needed to control to win the White House.

Obama garnered 338 against McCain's 163 of the 538 electoral college votes. He won 62 million voters (52 percent), while McCain has 55 million voters (47 percent).

Obama's historic inauguration will complete a stunning ascent to the pinnacle of US and global politics from national obscurity just four years ago and close an eight-year era of turbulence under President George W Bush.

At 12.20pm local time, McCain conceded defeat and congratulated Obama on his victory.
