The changes/progress my country has experienced from 9.5.2018 till today...


...And other changes I would like to see in the future.

9/5/2018 was a historical moment for our country, Malaysia. It is the first time where our country switched our governing party since our independence. It is the moment where, for once, every single person of our country stood up against the obviously flawed and rigged and election, and fought for a new, a government that is much more capable than the last.

As soon as the cabinet changed, our new governing party, Pakatan Harapan, initiated a flurry of actions that would slowly bear fruit with the help of Father Time. One such action was the downfall of GST, or Goods and Service Tax if you will. It was reduced to 0%. This, obviously improved lives for everyone.

Following that, petroleum prices that used to changed every single Wednesday was stabilized. That means no more gambling whether to fill up or not anymore !

And perhaps the most important of all, the investigation of the 1MDB scandal. I wonder our last prime minister is still able to use donation as a reason ?

Overall, this is a nice thing for a change. And I would like to see more improvement to the general road system, maybe the education system that is so flawed by today standards.

Regarding Pakatan Harapan's future plans, I hope that they can initiate whatever they stated in their manifesto, and this time, actually take action.

Cheers,
Chua.

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

The Philosophy of Tetris

"I am the man who arranges the blocks, that continue to fall from up above..." I believe most of you of you know what Tetris is. Most of you are likely to have played it, or at least heard about it. Be it the charming 8-bit music, the satisfying beep after a line is completed, or just the blocks that fall into place one by one, filling the gaps, I"m sure that we all can agree upon the fact that Tetris is one of the best classic game we have ever played. While I was revisiting the game, trying to break another player's high score, I realize that, even in a simple game such as Tetris, which has the main goal of trying to get the best score you can through stacking blocks and aligning them, I can't help but think of the true meaning of Tetris. So today, let's explore the philosophy behind the Tetris. Keep in mind, that this is my opinion. Feel free to judge... constructively. First concept You don't have to be perfect to fit in Before we jump into...

Preparation, presentation and post-mortem of the presentation my group sketch: Flame

1. Learning Process The process of preparing for the sketch was actually quite fun and interesting. Being placed in a group of boys without any girls, and a story that consists of both genders, we had to take drastic measures  to act out all of the existing characters in the sketch. All of us learned quite of a lot of new things during the sketch. I feel more confident after the act due to how you have to "get out there" and actually perform the character you are assigned to.Besides, it strengthen the bond between me and my friends who were in the same group. A lot of effort was put into the script to make sure everything was right. Everyone had their own role and their own dialogues. During the presentation, we presented the entire story with little to no problems aside from forgetting which character we were supposed to act. (*cough* Meghann *cough*) If we could make it better, my guess would be using actual equipment and actually grasping the characteristics of our ...
