I am not sure whether my housemates will read it or not, but I just spit out what I feel these days since this is my blog...I can write whatever I want, right?
Talking about housemates problems, there are plenty of it can be told...Maybe I am a subjective person, so I have these problems...Well, judge yourselves, my friends....
I have 3 housemates and 2 of them are sharing food with me. Since we are sharing food, everything we bought for the dinner, we paid equally for the receipt. Since these food are shared, means we can only use it in the presence of the other two. However, they are not obey the rules, so I am also not to obey the rule too. Actually I don't mind them to take small amount of the food, I don't even bother about that, but one of my housemate started to haggle on me...
CASE 1:
Housemate: Err...Louis, can you please buy your own oil, since you always use the oil to fry food, and we are not really want to use the recycled oil...
Louis: Well...Okay...
CASE 2:
Housemate: Louis ar...Why you use so much oil to fry thing? (I used it to do Sweet and Sour Chicken, for sure I need to fry the chicken...)
Louis: (since he is so "appreciate" the oil, I won't cook this dishes anymore...)
CASE 3:
Housemate: Hey, our CNY stuffs totally up is £60...
Louis: How come...What thing had you bought? (looking at the receipt...)
Housemate: Seafood, pork-leg,....etc
Louis: Why you bought so many thing? We are just guests for the event, why you want to do so many things?
Housemate: I cook, not you cook...
From these cases, what do you think? I never bother about him for taking the shared veges or rices, I never bother about his girlfriend come to stay at our house for weeks (supplied with food...) But Oil? You haggle with me because of oil? What the world...I dint argue with him since we are housemate...
In case 3, I really speechless. When I asked him what he wanted to cook for the CNY event, he dint answer me. If he answered me one week or two days from the event, I can go to wet market to buy the ingredients in a low price, so that it won't cause us so much. He never discussed with us or think or ask about our budget...£20 per person is really expensive for a student...Some more, the output of the ingredients...failed, especially for the "cha siu" he made...Well, I had to show my support to him, so I ate it...
Maybe I was overreact to these matters because of my subjectivity as I always put a standard toward people around me, or I should say, expect other people to do as following to my standard...If they dont reach my standard, I might be angry or unhappy...Well, this personality is really annoying me, which I can't change it eventhough I hadn't try plenty of times...However, in case 1 and 2, I really can't accept that...
As a result, don't share too much things with your housemates, it will cause you lots of problems...Maybe just me...Judge yourselves...

Housemates Problems~~~
First time met Minister~~~
Just now, I went to Birmingham Hilton Hotel to attend a conference with Dato Sri Mustapa Mohommad (Minister of International Trade and Industry)...Since the UNMO chairman in Birmingham asked me and my housemates to attend it, so we just went there to listen what the minister wanted to tell us (actually we went there for dinner, its FOC...XDXD) I was wondering why they will ask us (chinese) to go there because last year, they just asked Malay to attend the conference...However, when the minister started to talk, I knew the reason, which is to spread the concept of "1 Malaysia"...
Okay, when we reached the conference room, I was nervous since this was my first time to meet minister face to face...I shook his hand, and also his "leng" (penolong or kakitangan...whatever)...They were very nice to us, talking to us...bla bla bla...After a few minutes, more and more people came in the conference so they started the conference...
Here are the summary of what he told us in the conference:
1) Explanation about the condition of Malaysia's politic and the concept of 1 Malaysia
2) Emphasize that Anwar's case is not related to government
3) Asked us to go back to serve Malaysia after graduate
Then Q&A section, 3-4 peoples asked the minister some questions:
1) Education inbalance (Quota system & Bumiputera issues) in scholarship or SMK and SJK
Ans: "We need time to change it..." *sweat*
2) Economic in Malaysia
Ans: Agriculture is needed to improve in future...Koridor Utara...bla bla bla...
3) Education in Malaysia now a day (SJK and SK schools)
Ans:" Its hard to change this, you see the US need so many years to accept the black...bla bla bla..."
4) Kebebasan bersuara
Ans:" Don't really believe in those 'mosqitoes' suratkhabar...bla bla bla" not really answer this question...
Well, actually I wanted to talk about the education issues such as MARA scholarship, JPA and etc, because its really unfair for us non-bumiputera, but one of the students had helped me to ask, so I just listened what the minister said...However, this minister's answer was disappointed me, because he said this bumiputera issue need time to change...Well, how long? Since this is the very basic thing for the concept of 1 Malaysia..."Won't let the other races felt minimised..."
After 2 hours conference, my housemates and I had a little chat with Chris Tan, Senior Vice President of Korindor Utara...Since I am from Padang Serai, Kedah, so I had interest in this plan...Chris told us that the program offers us a help to find internship from the companies around Malaysia, which I think quite good for students who just graduated from University...Somemore, I got an interest in the Kulim Hi-Tech park, which is near my hometown...He told me I can get a job there since they need engineers...Well, these information are what I get from the conference...
Then we went to eat the FOC dinner, mostly seafood but not really taste good...XDXD...During the dinner, we also talked with Chris until we left the table...He shared his experience to us, which was quite interest...(I know he is now under government, so I just keep back on what he told us...)
Well, its not bad for the first time, the minister is quite impressive for me...However, what we talked in the conference, mostly it won't reach to the ears of Najib...Anyway, it won't change at the end, but I think we still need to tell them what we really think, whether they listen or not...Some more, we all are already at legalised age, we have the right to poll...XDXD...
PS: Bought lots of fruits recently, oranges, grapes, apple and etc...Grapes really cheap here...XDXD
Assignments Weeks~~
From the first day of CNY until now, I had past up 3 assignments...Well, because of my laziness, I lacked of time to do it, I just used 2 days to complete each assignment...Therefore, now I am totally worrying the results that I might get for these assignments...
Since I got a very very low marks (all results were not over than 50) in my previous assignments, these assignments were making me more headache because I lost all my confidence and this made me think a lot...The latest assignment, which I handed in last yesterday, was not completed...My conclusion was suck, just few sentences...it is incomplete...I handed it in exactly at the due time...I was worried I might miss the due time...
After these assignments, I was totally disappointed to myself...How come I can be like this? How come I can get these kinds of consequences...Anyway, from now on, I have to focus in my study, especially my final year project...
PS: next week, I have to show the progress of my final year project...Wish me luck...
