Updating the blog

Under the Sun View Comments

I’ve been telling myself that I should do a filler post after such long time of absence. Indeed, I have been lack of update due to procrastination? In the end, it makes no excuse not to doing anything right at the moment.

Finally, with the courage and the “just do it “attitude which currently I am sitting with some of that. Thus this is the post I am doing right now. It seems like that my words are incoherent that my entire paragraph doesn’t sound right at all. Perhaps it is due to the fact that I haven’t been working much on my words lately.

Turning to the year of 2008, it just presents me with such challenges ahead. Not that I wanted to complaint or so but the idea I am getting is that I wonder how can I grow strong and gain the sufficient faith to overcome these obstacles ahead. I can see it from afar and yet I do nothing to confront it when times come. Having the attitude of I’ll cross the bridge when I comes to it, it does not help at all.

I drafted a few posts but incomplete. Left it halfway in the midst, I would end up deleting them when the time comes. Here’s the in fact the first draft I drafted in the year of 2008. Keen to post up my 2008 resolution, I held back for the so-called idea and inspiration to come. Yet, the truth is that inspiration will not come to me unless I really doing the post. Just do it.

I been wanting to blog something. Anything. Everything. Well, I was hoping to do a better blog post rather than just a filler post. There’s nothing inside the post where as the content, the emotions and the feelings that channel through it. I don’t want it to be blank post.

Noticed that nowadays, the emo post doesn’t comes easily already. It comes with a cost. And to me, I couldn’t do any much better than current. Most of my posts are just plain blank. In fact, I been holding back from posting because it started to get tough on me. I couldn’t simply just begin a post and finished it. In fact, each and everytime I sitting in front of the screen, I will stare blank. However, when I am not in front of the screen my mind lingers and all the ideas to blog just popped out. It grew and I refine it from there. Just as I begin to type the things, nothing came concrete. Just a blurry idea.
Is it difficult just to complete a task.

I still have a few more draft inside my notebook. Maybe the times will come for me. Just out of curiosity I wanted to question myself whether I can consistently post at least 1 post per day or per week. Doubtfully, the weekly post seems too long to be in the acceptable radar and yet the daily posts just too much of effort to put in a day’s work.
All I can say now is let me just see the things to unfold themselves. :D

and then there is this

To the brilliant people who exposed our emails and the other more brilliant ones who followed suit by replying all to the series of email,

Kindly copy all the addresses in the CC part and paste it into the BCC part. I do not appreciate this reply-alls. After all, you are no better than Youth08 itself.

Instead of punishing everyone else on the list, send your email of complaint to Youth08 (youth08 ) or even better blog about it. It needs to be highlighted in Google.

Who thinks we deserve an apology?

Hinching

This is quite typical of YouthMalaysia actually – almost all the emails I get from them have everyone else’s email address. It’s called BCC, people.

While we’re here, let’s make this a networking opportunity, so we know who else is coming and who else has blogs.

Hello, I’m Tiara. The blog I’m nominating is EducateDeviate – http://educatedeviate.wordpress.com – which is all about young people and non-traditional education mainly in Malaysia. I am also trying to be a KaosPilot (student of a social enterprise school in Denmark), and the log of my progress can be seen at http://wannabeakp.wordpress.com .

BTW, on my EducateDeviate blog, I’m collecting names of inspiring young people to invite at conferences and events. Nominate yourselves and people you know :)

B*B, Tiara

and KuanHoong advised the gmail user to mute the conversation from SPAMMERS (aka bloggers)

Ok, before this gets out of hand, here is a simple tip for gmail users.. simply press m to mute this conversation, before every 396 people reply this email with their blog address posted at the end of every email. :P

Yeah~! Youth ma.. sure got the energy to channel it somewhere

there goes our privacy

Under the Sun View Comments

With the matters of the domestic issues such as the kidnapping cases, we begin to implement a lot of wireless CCTV or even wired CCTV just to keep an eye of everything. Even there is this move of placing sufficient eyes all over the city of Kuala Lumpur just to keep everyone safe. Hindering the threats from snatch thieves, kidnappers and so on.

The questions lies whether those are necessary when our people play their parts of keeping the country safe and sound; or the cameras in place are those qualify to act as real surveillance system?

When I came across the website PrivacyInternational, the latest article shocked me. The country name listed everywhere.

MALAYSIA
* No right to privacy in constitution
* No comprehensive privacy law
* Controversial internal security act allows for extensive police powers
* Interception authorised by attorney general
* Extensive use of identification scheme, mykad
* Plan to implement citizen data hub across government departments, developed by oracle corporation, including individuals background, education, and health records
* Biometric system monitors foreigners in the country
* Extensive use of CCTV with no privacy safeguards

and here’s the link with the detailed breakdown of the matters:-

PHR2006 – Malaysia

If given to ponder, where are we stand?
