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.

ICT-ton and Carnival 2018

Well it's sad to say I missed this one purely because I was busy and no other reason. So I'm going to sum the event up through friends' experiences. To start off, there was a senamrobik activity in the morning. This is quite weird as... you know... it's a carnival.... not Sports Day to be exact. Nevertheless, that happened. I'm guessing most of the participants weren't wearing the proper attire as they didn't get the memo till the last minute. Besides, there was a dunking game that was setup by the Scouts. Though I didn't go to the carnival personally, a few clips circulated around social media such as Facebook and Instagram and that's how I know Joash from 4 Balau got dunked. Mr James that was a former teacher in the school along with Pn Lau got dunked as well. Lastly, the Teen Star Talent show. Again, I didn't go to the carnival so I do not know half of what happened during the event, but the highlight of the carnival was Mr Ganapathy, th...

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...

First Week of School

First Week of School (SMKDJ) The very first week of the first school semester. Some dread it, while others look forward to it. To me, neither of both mattered. A month of holiday might sound good to take a break after a long year of hard work and constant studying to prepare for PT3, but after a week or so, you start to get that feeling of missing being with your friends in school, doing activities together. (not group work with random people that don't know each other really well) New semester, new class, new classmates and a whole new timetable to memorize. First week is always pretty exciting, since you get to meet your friends again after a long month. What's more exciting is that the classes. While some might be boring, others can be quite fascinating. Since it's the first week, nothing much other than normal classes and longer than average speeches from Mr.Ganapathy. The changes for co-curriculum were quite interesting too, but transporters...
