父亲节
来到五六月的时候，也是很多厂商开始推出双亲节的配套以迎合节日的到来，可以趁机提高一些买气。。。。父亲节是由美国的一位夫人在1909年发起的。我对父亲的印象就只停留在我7岁的那年，因为父亲因病辞世了，所以妈妈是需要担起做母亲及父亲的责任照顾我们两兄弟。
17年过去了，我们也从调皮捣蛋的小孩到现在懂事的年轻人；这些功劳真的是全在我妈身上。一个女人的坚持及付出也真的是如此的伟大，默默的付出，也没有要求任何的回报。。。记得最清楚的是妈妈在弟弟坚决不想继续上课时，经过心中的挣扎到最后的阔达让弟弟选择自己的道路，是需要很大的勇气及智慧，我妈读书不多，不过我觉得这些智慧的累积是通过她接触佛法后所开启的，诵经拜忏，是在我妈身上看到的虔诚及对佛的信任，很多时候我们都没有办法向她们一样。
想借这样子的机会，让我表达出对我妈的感谢。。。父亲节，你也是一样要过的。。因为你是父亲也是母亲。。。。妈，谢谢您！辛苦您了，我爱你～！

好节目
昨天在驾车回家途中，扭开ai fm听到了一个非常有艺术气息的节目，由吉安主持的“乡音考古。思想起”，在昨天的节目中听到了一些很可爱的乡音小调，有客家及潮州的，这些都是他一手到西马各地采集回来的作品哦！听到了有非常兴奋的感觉，老祖宗们对时事或者对某件事情的看法在以前都会用一些小调调来告诉后辈，提醒后辈。蛮不错的一个节目，尤其是对于早期移民南洋的侨胞们可以更加贴近的了解当时的民生，风土人情。。。。

延续文化。。。寻根？？？
最近去了一个寿宴，是为他而宴请了一班亲朋戚友。由于是其多数都是友族通婚，所以不难发现友族和我们一起也似乎没有什么芥蒂的，不像外面的政治世界闹得纷纷扰扰。不过有趣的是我发现现代的华人对于自己中华文化的传承尤其是拿筷子，都没办法好好的掌握。当然会不会拿筷子并不能代表些什么东西，只是真的我们的社会没有这样的传承文化，毕竟骨子里面还流着炎黄子孙的血；当然这些还是可以被探讨的因为是不是要本土化现在是我们应该探讨的问题，因为我们的首相的远景是一个马来西亚。
在拥有一个马来西亚的大前提，何谓一个马来西亚？所有种族需要抛弃各自的文化特色还是融合各大名族文化来作为马来西亚本土文化？华族，有些怎样的民族特色？过去还未独立以前，英国殖民地时期对马来亚各种族所诠释的是否依然存在现今的社会里？
其实在之前就有读过一位朋友对方言传承的问题，尤其是现在因社会的需求所以比较主流的语言当然还是英语/华语/国语为主，但是各个籍贯方言的使用就可能被别人忽略了。方言的使用真的是有一种亲切感的存在，比如吉隆坡/怡保都是马式广东话为主，北马区（太平/槟城/吉打）都是福建话，彭亨/丁加奴--广东话也比较普遍，但是这些都是属于比较潮流的方言，每个人都略懂一二。在古晋来说，海南/兴化方言就比较少用，在于传承上就可能比较困难。不过，这也是感性的因素也只是个人意见，因为有了这些方言或没有掌握这些方言对于我们来说并没有太多的障碍因为时代的趋势是向英语的发展，只要掌握英语，大部分世界各地都可以运用得到。

hardship?
this morning, me and my colleague with one of the UNIMAS lecturer went to collect the questionaire which was sent to the company before Gawai, many of them refused to cooperate and turn us down. thus, what to do, we gonna collect it back and report to our superior.
there are 4 out of 10 companies turn us down due to the reason, their boss is not interested to participate.... sometimes this makes some researcher down when they come to this situation, especially the social science researchers who have to meet up with people to collect data, either the quantitative method or qualitative method. the 1st company that we went is a consultant company, we had called them that we will collect the questionaire back even though they haven dropped any ink on the paper. so, we were welcomed by the receptionist and seated to wait for the documents to arrive to us, but unfortunately she made us wait about half an hour, then when we asked for it, then she just took it out from the drawer, WOW.... AMAZING action from her!~
this was the incident that i first met in my whole life, but when i m in this project, i found out that the culture for the Sarawakian (especially private sector) to get involved in this type of research will be a bit complicated, particulary the Chinese Tauke. Sometimes, its hard to judge whether the reason behind for not coorperating because they are the one who has the power to decide.
pity for Sarawakian Researcher (Maybe only in my field) ... wakaka!~ all the best for me to contact all the companies in Sarawak Region as well as the West Malaysia companies which are willing to participate... if possible, then i will be going outstation to West Malaysia end of this Month....

penang Trip
last week i had a great trip to penang from Ipoh, drove from Simpang Pulai toll till Penang, took me 2 hours to reach there... actually planning to have a stay at Penang, but decided to go back to Kampar to visit some of Kuching Friend there.... Penang is a great place where "Penang Char Kuey Tiao" is the most popular food, which you can find it almost everywhere, Chinese or Malay.
accidentally reach a chinese traditional building at lebuh Queen in Georgetown: i like this place, this used to be the Teow Chew Association last time, where all the Teo Chew business man gathered at this place.
after that, i went to the Sun Yat Sen Penang Base, where he did all the planning to release China from Ching Dynasty.
playing with Mr Sun's Mustache...haha
trishaw and old bicyle left outside of the house
you can either choose the Penang Bridge or Ferry to go over to Seberang Prai (the mainland in Malaysia), nice view from the Ferry:
