廣告： 華孝英雄（華Xiao英雄）的笑點

很快的，这套戏今天就在本地各院线上映了。

这戏有许多好笑的环节，都是靠关德辉的那张严肃脸来支撑着，有冷笑话的味道。

至于类似其他笑戏的胡闹情节，也是有，不过我感觉不会太过严重。

不过，真的要称赞朱咪咪这位老戏骨。她一出现，这套戏就得到更多的笑声。

关德辉先生要以搞笑的方式来上演华校的故事，真的不简单。因为华校课题是很严肃的课题。

昨夜有幸受邀出席华孝英雄首映礼。在首映礼，可与电影金主握手拍照，可近距离与演员交流，可享用当局准备的点心，然後入场与众演员看完整套影片。费用全免，由电影金主帮你付。真的很感恩。因为金主未必能赚得回投资在电影的那笔钱。

当夜坐在我隔壁的竟然是那位本地电影《一路有僵尸》演则优则导的“未来世界明星”Jaguar Lim。他很专心的看完整套《华孝英雄》，从他的表情看不出他是喜欢还是不喜欢这套影片。

这部戏到底拍得如何？以我看电影多年的经验而言，不是非常出色，也不是大烂片，还是可以一看。关德辉先生花了三年时间筹备这部电影。所以买票观看，是看关先生的三年心血，非常值得。

以下是首映礼当晚的照片。

My First English Poem

When I see Sufi, I see Zen
When I see Zen, I see the Presence
When I embrace the Presence
I see no religion
What do I see?
I only see God

一身教服来授課

数年前，我获派往马六甲首长署做事。当时获安排坐在某培训室内工作，大家在上课，我在后方忙我的事，偶尔会听听大家究竟在上什么课。

一日，某高廋友族进入培训室。他头顶白帽，身著长袍，一副虔诚宗教师模样，一时令人搞不清楚状况，心想他应是来教宗教。

只见他缓缓走向培训室前方，立于白板前，侃侃而谈，满口尽是电脑技术词汇，方知非宗教师，而是电脑专业培训师也。

如此就是虔誠信教？

某华裔流动小贩向来在邻镇卖包点和豆浆。近来也来到此地做生意。才经营两三日，市议会和宗教局就派员来，谓此地以穆斯林为众，故此地禁卖一切非清真食物。 该小贩为此因而无端接罚单。

原来穆斯林为众，就可剥夺非穆斯林享用非清真食品的饮食权。

此等人学宗教，越学越昏沉，穆圣回生，必拿戒尺敲醒之。这尚为小 事，若是大事如回教法等，由此等人来负责执法，非穆斯林岂不歹哉？

Fahaman Yang Salah Tentang Atheist

Saya mendapati bahawa sesetengah orang tidak berapa faham apa maksud sebanar Atheist. Mereka anggap orang yang tidak suka/percaya kepada agama adalah golongan Atheist. Fahaman ini adalah tidak betul.

Atheist pun ada kepercayaan. Kepercayaan mereka adalah Evolution, Science dan Tiada Tuhan.

Terdapat juga orang yang mempercayai kepada Tuhan dan Nabi-Nabi. Mereka berpendapat bahawa agama itu ciptaan pengikut Nabi-Nabi demi kepentingan mereka sendiri. Kadang kala mereka saja mahukan kuasa. Nabi-nabi saja ingin menunjuk jalan ke kebenaran tetapi Nabi-nabi tidak pernah hendak mencipta agama yang bersifat Institutional. Kita tidak sepatutnya memanggil orang seperti ini sebagai Atheist. Mereka masih percaya kepada Tuhan.

舊街場白咖啡 Old Town White Coffee @ BU8

旧街场白咖啡售卖的都是经典的本地食物，如烤面包、椰浆饭等等。

论食物，旧街场白咖啡肯定是不错。至于价格，自然会比街边所售卖的贵。旧街场白咖啡卖的可说都是环境。与其­他类似的新式咖啡店比较，旧街场咖啡店的环境实在算是很高贵了。

为旧街场白咖啡店设计内部装潢的人看得出都很有功夫。论色彩，黄金色引人注目，而且非常高贵。然後每间旧街­场皆有挂上写着"旧街场"的牌匾，而且还特地安装黄色灯光照射之，凸显该品牌。

这 间旧街场白咖啡更加特别。隔壁就是联昌银行了。周日午间，联昌银行的顾客到此处办事，若需要等候，可以在­旧街场白咖啡处坐下点一杯"白咖啡"配烤面包半 生熟鸡蛋来打发时间。或者可在办完事後先享受一下冰咖啡配暹­罗米粉等小食才去下一站。或者顾客若还未用正膳，可在这里点招牌的炸鸡椰浆饭等吃。

至 于我本人，则是在下班後来此处"休息"一番才回家。若是六点之前到达此处，还来得及点三点至六点才有的"­下午茶配套"。下午茶配套比正餐配套便宜多了， 区区四元就可吃到烤面包和咖啡乌。不过，旧街场时常更换配套­以给顾客耳目一新的感觉。所以每隔数月，我就发现配套内容和价格又不一样了。

至 于旧街场白咖啡的正餐，我最爱的还是海南鸡排饭。其海南鸡排做得实在很好，裹上了鸡蛋粉才炸，所以吃鸡排­时可吃到很香的炸鸡蛋粉。然後炸鸡派的酱料又做 得很香甜多汁，这酱料拿来送饭简直是一流。何况旧街场给的还­是油饭，很不错。同样十多元一餐，我宁愿吃这道海南鸡排饭多于吃炸鸡椰浆饭。当然，其炸鸡椰 浆饭不仅仅有炸­鸡而已，旧街场不是路边摊，不会吝啬提供慢慢的花生和江鱼仔等。

至于咖啡乌和白咖啡，旧街场可算是国内第一家推出白咖啡的新式咖啡店。其咖啡乌和白咖啡的品质实在一流。喜­欢海南咖啡的人绝对不会对其咖啡失望。喜欢欧美式花俏咖啡的人则另当别论了。

My thought on Brains v Brawn: Why UMNO can't match LKY

This is the original article.

And here is my response:

Lee Kuan Yew himself is an intellectial as well. Don't forget that he grad from Cambridge during 50s. Our past and current PM could not match him in terms of academic achievement. 

Lee's political ideology is the Confucius kind, to rule the country with Elites or scholars. (background: China is the earliest country that took public servants by public examination at multiple levels, as early as 500AC).

As for Lee, I guess he wanted to make himself as close to emperor as possible. In the end he did not. He is excellent and that's why abit arrogant.

強迫入教并無效

这两日上培训课。师为某已达耳顺之年的华裔女穆斯林。她本非穆斯林，因嫁马来人而入教。

两日来，她偶尔言及私事，透露爱好禅修的信息，还曾跟随某印度籍心灵导师作心灵之旅。

在本国，穆斯林修禅可被视为叛教之举，惟师之伴侣似乎对其修禅不甚在意。可见本国政府强迫婚姻改教，并无法使改教者成为真正穆斯林，信仰真主和穆圣之道，反倒令其徒有穆斯林之虚名而已矣。

New Generation of Modern Chinese Malaysian

I came across a Facebook post of a friend's friend as follows:

I lecture in different private colleges/universities that are predominantly run by Chinese and attend by Chinese. But in one such institution I have the privilege to teach a group of MARA scholars. This group of MARA students, many of them came from not so rich family and to be able to get scholarship to go to the US to further their studies is a great opportunity that they wouldn't have if they are left alone without any government assistance. 

Now I am not here to talk about NEP or Bumiputra rights or racial discrimination etc. What I want to point out is the attitude these MARA students have compare to the group of Chinese students who come from a wealthy background. These MARA students are serious with their studies because if they don't get the grades required, they will lose their scholarship. They are diligent, hardworking, attend my class regularly, and do their work without complaining. Because of their religious up bringing, they respect me as their lecturer and elder and they produce quality work. 

Come back to the Chinese students, because they don't really need to maintain a certain grade point average (their parents will be there to support them no matter what) plus growing up in a well to do family, they basically behave like the world has owe them everything. They complain just because the lecturer refuses to give them one extra mark for them to get an "A" (which they don't really deserve one), produce mediocre work, missing classes, and rude to lecturer (I guess may be their parents allow them to answer them back rudely).

I have two points here. Whatever the scholarship or financial assistance the government is giving to the Malays, they are generally (notice I say generally) given to well deserve Malay students. And it is a joy to have them in my class. 

As for the Chinese students in my class, many of them are good students and really enjoy having them in my class. 

But many of them are also spoiled to the bones. I don't blame them. I blame it on their parents. I have no idea why modern Malaysian Chinese parents have totally lost control of their children. They are so afraid of offending their children and saying "no" or "cannot" is something absolutely haram in their children upbringing. And their children can do no wrong; it is the lecturer or the college is the one who is in the wrong, abusing their children. After all, they pay to come to the institution.
My colleague and I were discussing the above issue this morning. I told her that I am concerned because we are growing old. One day, these students with this kind of attitude will take over the country and I wonder I will be taken care of at my old age...but I do see rays of hope in our MARA scholars...Insy-Allah.

My opinion is as follows:

Religious upbringing makes the difference. Many modern Chinese families don't really stress much on religion teachings. 

Ancient Chinese were very well mannered due to strong Confucianism background but modern Chinese completely abandoned Confucianism(since early twentieth century) and they have nothing(or money) to fill in the blank and here's the result.

If you study the Peranakan, you'll find Peranakan are generally very well mannered because they still retain some of Confucianism rituals and rites.

廣告： 潮吹 Squirt

男人射精，女人潮吹。

那日用我之前所写的方法（看这里），由于够久，弄到伴侣潮吹了。

就是突然感觉有大量液体自伴侣下体射出，弄得我下半身粘粘的。

完事后，才发现是潮吹。

Female also ejaculates, the term is Squirt. One recent night while I was fucking for long suddenly my partner squirted. Please refer to my technique here.

霹雳博物館

太平不仅有太平湖可去而已，太平还有许多好去处，如与太平湖毗邻的动物园，又如这间离太平湖非常近的"霹雳­博物院"。

这间霹雳博物院门票不会很贵，才二元而已，属于廉价的开销。售票处就位于博物馆外头而已。不过，由于保安不­严，如果游客从后门进入，肯定也不会被抓到。当然那是缺德的事，马币两元其实真的不算什么大花费。

停车位还算充足，但是并没有遮荫，要泊在大太阳下。

里面有冷气，非常凉爽。第一个展览厅展览的是马来族与各原住民的面具。马来族都有戴着面具舞蹈的传统。而原­住民每逢祷神仪式皆会戴上不同面具来跳舞祝贺一番。有些面具看起来真的像极外星人，不知这些原住民先民是否­曾见过这些奇形怪状的生物。

展览厅内还有电子显示屏播放马来族和原住民的面具舞蹈，附加各种讲解。不过这些东西似乎属与霹雳无关。不明­白为何称这博物馆为霹雳博物馆。

第二个展览厅则没什么特别。展出的都是动物骨骼和样本。海陆空的动物都有。样本都栩栩如生，我还以为是动物­尸体所制作的标本，不过後来仔细观察，其实都是泥塑的。

第 三个展览厅则是各种马来传统金银器。这些金银器都用在各种仪式里，如婚嫁、皇室仪式等。有些金银器我没见­过，知道有这种用途的器具后，还真大开眼界。这 些金银器样样都很精致，保存得很好，真想搬回家收藏。某些金­银器但我就是找不到锡器。奇怪，霹雳以前不是以锡闻名的吗？

至于第四个展览厅则在楼上，展出的都是国内各民族和原住民生活中的各种用品和服装等，相信主要是给外国人看­的。

毫无例外，博物馆出口处有纪念品贩卖处。说真的，那些纪念品许多都与博物馆、大马和霹雳扯不上关系，很多都­是舶来品，就连"小黄人"也有卖，真的很可惜。这么多纪念品，只有印上"我爱霹雳"字眼的T恤还算有纪念价­值。

馬來西亞民間乩童故事

今夜有重要私事，须到某地，顺便访问当地某庙了解其乩童故事。乩童为男身，跳"南海观音"四十余年。其女娓娓道来，谓其外祖父某日从福建原乡请来"南海观音"。当时其父尚是少年，某夜十二点十分，其父突然全身颤抖，亲人摇之不醒，终开口谓其为"南海观音"，附身此男以服务当地村民，尤以治病为重。就此于某沼泽地小庙治病无数，兼助众人解决各类生活问题。求助者逐渐络绎不绝。之後获信徒资助，于近处起大庙至今。
