'STOP LYNAS, SAVE MALAYSIA' becomes a hot topic among Malaysians these days.
What is LYNAS?
LYNAS is a mining company based in Australia which plans to have the world largest rare earth refinery (called LYNAS Advanced Materials Plant, LAMP in short) in Gobeng Industrial Zone, near Kuantan.

Why we need to stop LYNAS?
Once LAMP begins operate, there will be RADIOACTIVE being produced and it will yearly leave behind 28,000 tonnes of solid waste (definately, it comes with radioactive leftover as well). SO, do you know why we need to stop LYNAS now?

There's a debate between DAP & MCA today at Berjaya Times Square, titled [Malaysian Chinese at the Political Crossroads].
i missed the debate as i was at sunway carnival with buddies. however, as a malaysian chinese, as a penangnite, i switch on my lappie (which i did not on for few days) immediately to follow the news.
first video i watched is a video called [Jessie Ooi 的发问片断]. it's really funny until i can't stop laughing!! oh my god! i know that i'm betrayal. i found that she is more powerful than leehom. i used to listen to leehom's songs when my mood is bad. and now, i feel that i should watch this video clip whenver my mood is bad, because it can make me laugh easily.
jessie ooi, now called as 拖车女 is 'Lady of the Day' today. Jeremy Lin took a few days to be famous among different levels, but this tow-car-aunty just need a few hours to be famous! the name spread faster than virus around on FB, in forum, and etc.
Lessons i learnt from this 半个槟城人 today as below..
三思而后行
Think before you act.
Even though you are stupid, you should not do/act/ask questions stupidly. please do only ask related/relevant questions especially in front of public, else you will just like a fool, like one of the comments in your page, 'It seems to me nothing is right in your left brain and nothing is left in your right brain.'
一失足成千古恨
It's too late to regret if you take a wrong step.
Once you speak/act stupidity in the rebate, your 'reputation' raise. as you did not respect the fair of the rebate, you must be prepared to receive all bad in reflection. there's no use to delete negative comments in your page, and i know that you understand, hence, you straight away delete the page. however, do you think that people will stop easily just like how you delete the page? NO! you will bring more negative image to public.
忍辱偷生不如死得光荣
Better die with honour than live with shame.
At this moment, as a penangnite, i guess your mother-in-law is feeling shame. put myself in her shoe, if i were your mother-in-law, i really feel so shame to have this kind of daughter-in-law. i have no face to stay here, facing the real penangnites everyday. i feel sorry to everyone here.
here, i guess i did not touch anything on politic right? i'm not touching any sensitive issue here or i did? i'm not really into politic and not really want to critic anything from political view. i just trying to share something from my point of view, trying to share some lessons i learnt from today hottest news, which is lesson of moral.
as a gal (even i'm not 'lady' enough and even my buddies treat me as 'bro'), i really have to remind myself always not to be like this tow-car-auntie, really have to aware and control myself not to be like 泼妇骂街 and spoil my image in public.
for couples, it's valentine's day, but for singles, it's just a tuesday.
this is my second time here, after 5 days.
소주 & Soju, a place where we can 'feel' the korea in our area, recomended by nath's students.
i thought we will order a new flavor of soju since we have marked the order during our 1st visit. however, due to the reason charles is here for very first time, we ordered the same soju again. i do not mean that the soju is not nice, i just wanted to try something new.
the balcony seats occupied half, hence we just sit at the sofa inside. chit-chatted, laughed, and played with phones, ky suggested to play 'true or dare' but charles's level is too high that nath not going to play, so... sien..
we ended up to pay for extra money to enter the K room. yeah! we ordered another pot of soju and entered the room. however, we were so surprise that everything is in korean!! the screen is in korean, the remote control is in korean as well!! OMG!! how we going to sing?! the boss came in and show us the chinese song's menu. it's just a page out of a whole album >.<
fine, had to find some songs to sing since we already there. and then i found why charles kept wanting to sing K. his voice is really nice! he claimed that today not really in good condition, but he still can sing well. geng!
time passed very fast when we were in the room. the waitress came in to ask if we were going to extend the time. time up! last song we had is -- you're beautiful. a song charles should sing to 3 of us, kekeke..
it's really fate that 4 of us can gather here together during this special day. thanks nath who date us for porridge dinner, thanks ky who came to pick me up, and nice meeting small little cute boy, charles :) thanks charles also, because of him, we moved to 소주 & Soju after dinner.
we do not have valentines, we did not celebrate valentine's day this year, but we enjoyed the session we are together..
found this letter 2 days before i left the company. the writer is so mean! respect!!
hope you guys have fun reading it XD
Dear Co-Workers and Managers,
As many of you probably know, today is my last day. But before I leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it has been to type “Today is my last day.”
For nearly as long as I’ve worked here, I’ve hoped that I might one day leave this company. And now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your unending lack of support. Words cannot express my gratitude for the words of gratitude you did not express.
I would especially like to thank all of my managers both past and present but with the exception of the wonderful Mr. ABC: in an age where miscommunication is all too common, you consistently impressed and inspired me with the sheer magnitude of your misinformation, ignorance and intolerance for true talent. It takes a strong man to admit his mistake – it takes a stronger man to attribute his mistake to me.
Over the past seven years, you have taught me more than I could ever ask for and, in most cases, ever did ask for. I have been fortunate enough to work with some absolutely interchangeable supervisors on a wide variety of seemingly identical projects – an invaluable lesson in overcoming daily tedium in overcoming daily tedium in overcoming daily tedium.
And to most of my peers: even though we barely acknowledged each other within these office walls, I hope that in the future, should we pass on the street, you will regard me the same way as I regard you: sans eye contact.
But to those few souls with whom I’ve actually interacted, here are my personalized notes of farewell:
To [ ], I will not miss hearing you cry over absolutely nothing while laying blame on me and my coworkers. Your racial comments about [ ] were truly offensive and I hope that one day you might gain the strength to apologize to him.
To [ ] whom is long gone, I hope you find a manager that treats you as poorly as you have treated us. I worked harder for you then any manager in my career and I regret every ounce of it. Watching you take credit for my work was truly demoralizing.
To [ ], you should learn how to keep your mouth shut sweet heart. Bad mouthing the innocent is a negative thing, especially when you’re talking about someone who knows your disgusting secrets.
To [ ], well, I wish you had more of a back bone. You threw me to the wolves with that witch B and I learned all too much from it. I still can’t believe that after following your instructions, I ended up getting written up, wow. Thanks for the experience buddy, lesson learned.
[ ], I’m happy that you were let go in the same manner that you have handed down to my dedicated coworkers. Hearing you on the phone last year brag about how great bonuses were going to be for you fellas in upper management because all of the lay offs made me nearly vomit. I never expected to see management benefit financially from the suffering of scores of people but then again, with this company’s rooted history in the slave trade it only makes sense.
To all of the executives of this company, [ ] and such.
Despite working through countless managers that practiced unethical behavior, racism, sexism, jealousy and cronyism, I have benefited tremendously by working here and I truly thank you for that. There was once a time where hard work was rewarded and acknowledged, it’s a pity that all of our positive output now falls on deaf ears and passes blind eyes. My advice for you is to place yourself closer to the pulse of this company and enjoy the effort and dedication of us “faceless little people” more. There are many great people that are being over worked and mistreated but yet are still loyal not to those who abuse them but to the greater mission of providing excellent customer support. Find them and embrace them as they will help battle the cancerous plague that is ravishing the moral of this company.
So, in parting, if I could pass on any word of advice to the lower salary recipient (“because it’s good for the company”) in India or Tampa who will soon be filling my position, it would be to cherish this experience because a job opportunity like this comes along only once in a lifetime.
Meaning: if I had to work here again in this lifetime, I would sooner kill myself.
To those who I have held a great relationship with, I will miss being your co-worker and will cherish our history together.
Please don’t bother responding as at this very moment I am most likely in my car doing 85 with the windows down.
One!
Your demands were high and your patience short, but I take great solace knowing that my work was, as stated on my annual review, “meets expectation.” That is the type of praise that sends a man home happy after a 10 hour day, smiling his way through half a bottle of meets-expectation-scotch with a meets-expectation-cigar. Thanks [ ]!
please do let me know if you dare to blast this email out on your last day at work ^.~
