Be the Emperor Among the Kings!

Just like previous year, I take part in Blog Action Day (there is a badge in the sidebar, just click as it costs nothing than a mouse click). This year’s theme is to fight climate change.

Even though I never believe doomsday will arrive at 2012, yet I am confident that human doom will arrive soon, maybe not in our generation but next.

You may ask WTH is the number 350 above represents. It should not be number of days in a year, as 365 or 366 are the numbers. If you do concern on environmental issues, specifically on global warming, you will realise that 350 is the scientific number provided the safe carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, which is 350 ppm.

I am sure all of you, may feel the change in our climate at the least. You can ask people from Pacific countries about their homeland - islands are being conquered by the rising sea level from day to day. Five years ago, I still know that monsoon wind that blows across Malaysia is between April and September, and between December and March. Yet years later, I realise that monsoon did not come on time anymore. It was dry during Chinese New Year season, but these few years we sometimes drenched in the rain.

Lets look across the world. Dry places become crier, and wet places become wetter. Within these two months alone, how many countries have been devastated by flood? How many countries have been swept by typhoon?

Maybe you already donated to the victims, but are you ready for a long term fight?

Below are some photo updates from Facebook that tagged on me. Thanks to all the “suppliers”.

First comes the collection of Hari Raya Open House in Otago.

The “official” shot of one of the organising committee of Hari Raya Open House.

Malaysians are always best friends. See any trick?

Above two photos are really random. We were in the rugby field for a grand group photo.

Here comes the shots during Toroa Farewell Dinner in Carisbrook Stadium (not open air, of course).

Since when I look like a bodyguard?

Aik! No gossip please.

I am very sorry that I unable to make a full account on this two important events. Stay your attention on this Blog and I will bring some surprises to you when I am back to Malaysia at 20th November 2009. Wish me luck in my final exam.

It has been two consecutive busy days. After more than a week of preparation for Anatomy term test, I was once thought that I may have a free day gaming, but reality does not allow it.
After the test, the rest of my Saturday’s day (and night) was used to prepare the venue and materials for next day Eid Mubarak Open House. Event committee members (including me) do not differ between organisations (there are four student organisations) but work together as Malaysians, in order to make the events memorable. I climbed up and down the stairs and chairs. The result of the Open House really makes me smile out of satisfaction.
Even though my arms and shoulders still aching, I feel proud when I saw a few Kiwis ate few times of Malaysian food (Rendang specifically), one even ate up to four times!

Invitation card.

Menu. I love you, Malaysia!




See? There are people everywhere! According to Otago Daily Times, about 400 people attended the event (is the number convincing?).

All right, less than one month to final exam. I need to go back for intense preparation.

I know I maybe a bit late than expected, but I am here finally. Warmest wishes that I can give from thousand miles away to my friends and all I know in Malaysia. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilifitri! Sorry for anything that I did wrong before (forgiveness is always great, right).

I bought some greeting cards before to give a surprise to some of my Muslim friends, yet when I realise that Hari Raya is tomorrow, it is too late for me to post them. Busy life has takes my mind away apparently. I do not even realise that already one month I fasted! Anyway, I phoned back to Malaysia to Teacher Mas and Teacher Hasz. I think I will phone Teacher Zuraida also (oops! It is 5am in Malaysia now). I feel warm deep in my heart when I listen to their voices (I missed them).

Out of  my expectation, I received a greeting card from our Associated Dean of Health Sciences, Dr Warwick.

Malaysian students (all four Malaysian students organisations) will have an open house function at 4th October. I love Malaysian food!

All right, I need to go back . Update soon.

Daylight saving starts next week, which means New Zealand time will be FIVE hours faster than Malaysian time (shown in the clock on the sidebar). I cannot wait until 20th November when I come back to my motherland. Yet, there are a few tests and exams, which nothing less important than SPM or SSABSA, before enjoyment starts.

All right. Not to mention about all those tension “thingy”. Lets soothe your eyes with some pictures of Dunedin, where it is now embraced by Miss Spring.

Below are sceneries around campus.

 

How about some birds?

Do you feel curious? Birds here live peacefully with humans, not like sparrows in Malaysia – you can never get near to a sparrow, can you?

Almost twelve now. My watch just shouts me to the bed.
