与九把刀邂逅的圣诞

刘若英说：“我承认，我的确是因为五月天，才看九把刀。”

我说：“我承认，我的确是因为刘若英，才看九把刀。”

没有贬低九把刀的意思，纯粹是没有一股冲劲儿去翻开另一个作家的新篇章。但是，看了之后，觉得是值得推荐的。

用了一个晚上看完“等一个人咖啡”。在当中感受到一股强烈的熟悉，感动那描写的细腻和触感。

看九把刀的小说，觉得细腻，但是，有些冗长，节奏有些慢，或许，是为了达到细腻的缘故。但是，总体而言，还是佳作，于是再继续寻觅他的作品。

看完了刘若英对《后青春期的诗》的简介后，翻开了那一本小说，有三个原因：
一、想了解她口中那觉得极其相似她心境的描述；
二、超爱五月天《后青春期的诗》这个专辑。
三、学妹欣怡的大力、大力、大力推荐！



一口气看了第9章，再跳回序篇，一口气看了4个篇节，能让自己如此专注的小说，已经很久没遇着了，文笔的流畅不在话下，题材的新颖也是关键因素。

在九把刀的小说里，有着预想不到的情节，有着新新人类的放纵和洒脱，有跳脱现实的狂想与铺排，这是其中吸引的地方。

在《后青春期的诗》里的特别，则是对踏入30岁矛盾心态的描述，这一部分应该是感同身受而较被吸引。（这里不要抢九把刀的风头，过后再详加描述。）

当中对于名人处境的描述，相信是吸引奶茶注目的部分。九把刀有这样的能力，将相关人士的生活细节、心态描述深入，仿佛让人置身于故事之中，仿佛在翻看自己的日记本子。

翻看九把刀的小说，配上五月天新专辑，一样的旷野、一样的放纵！在这个圣诞，体会到了那一丝奔野的味道！

生病了

才离开家，就病了。。。

OMG... :(

回家啦！

回到家！
就是赖床+撒娇。。。:D

赖在家里，就是最温暖的窝。。。:)

圣诞贺词

在八打灵北区国会议员潘俭伟部落格看到这样一则圣诞贺词，觉得有趣，转载至此。

You'd better watch out,
You'd better not cry;
You'd better keep cash,
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

面试

面试，告一段落了。

太久没有面试，心里充满了紧张和不安。
一个又一个的面试里，告诉自己要镇定、坦然的应对。

每接到一个面试的机会，就倍感开心，
因为，那意味着，
一个机会！:)

今天的面试，是那么多次以来，自己觉得满意的。
首先，不敢相信，自己用纯粹的英文作答，完成了蛮长的面试对打。
虽然，过程中充斥了
"I am Okay!"
"Yah!I am fine with it."
"Yes, I think I can."

但是，还是很开心，因为，算是完成了面试吧！
这是自己一直说要把握好的面试。
虽然，不是最理想的，但，还是接近理想吧。。。

那是一位女的面试官，
她问，为什么会选择这份工作？
我说，因为我喜欢舞台吧！

她问，但这不是台前的工作。。。
我说，只要有所关联，我还是愿意尝试。。。

她说了很多工作上的难度，将工作解释得极为清楚。。。
所以，当她问，对这一份工作有什么疑问时。
只是轻轻的告诉她，太清楚了，因为，和她对谈的过程中，她在隐忧中几乎将所有细节都透露了。。。

于是，她开怀的笑，似乎发现在刚才面试过程中丢了很多包袱和压力过来。。。

她的确有很多担心的，因为，一位长期以来埋首在政治工作的人，
是不是真的可以转型？她不确定。。。
自己的外表看起来应该也很严肃吧？！
所以，她担心这个人是不是可以适应软性的工作。。。

除了很自信的点头说，I am ok with it!
我好像也找不到太多的理由去说服她相信我。。。

她是第一个觉得我的薪金要求很合理的人，
没有讨价还价的举动，
只是说她觉得还好，但是，还要等更高层的决定，
所以，必须等消息。。。

这一场面试在开心的气氛下结束，
那时候，真的很开心！

临走时，问了她一句，
其实自己的英文真的不怎么好，她不介意吗？

她缓缓的摇头说，不介意，因为，在对谈中觉得其实还好，
就一般的工作处理是没有问题的。。。

开心，因为，一直对自己的英文程度感到很懊恼，
她，是第一个给自己信心的人！:)

XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX

回到了现实，基于必须赶快让自己有工作，
不知道能不能等到答复，
或许一切只是一个美丽的会面，
也许一切就停在一次的对谈，
但是，我确信，自己真的把握了机会，
做到了最好！:D

加油！^ ^

伸手摘星，未必可及，
但，至少不会弄脏手。。。

落下凡间的那一刻，
至少，心中没有了遗憾，
尽了全力以后，
再踏踏实实的生活，
也能开心自在！:)

双子座流星雨访地球

最佳观赏流星时刻
日期：12月13日和14日凌晨零时开始。
方向：出现在东方。
流量：最高达到每小时130颗。

双子座流星雨以它白色的尾迹、明亮的火流星、相对较慢的速度，使它成为一个目视、照相、摄像观测的绝佳目标。上世纪中叶，双子座流星雨才逐渐走入人们的视 野。起初，它的流量并不大，但后来每年都在增加。如今，它已经成为常年流量最大的三个流星雨之一。今年双子座流星雨的活动期是12月7日～17日。

双子座流星雨也为年度三大流星雨之一，活跃日期一般介在12/7～12/17之间。国际流星组织（IMO）预测今年双子座流星雨极大期落在12/14凌晨 7时，但可能有前后2小时的误差；预测流星数量最多每小时约120颗。流星来源是第3200号小行星菲以颂（Phaethon），是目前唯一确认来自小行 星的流星雨。

双子座为冬季黄道星座，入夜后即已在东方天空中，天亮前西沉，整夜可见；但今年月相逢几近满月，且月亮就位在双子座中，使得整晚均受月光影响，可见流星数量将大减。然而因双子座流星雨的流星数量众多，因此如果天气晴朗的话，在月光下可能仍可见到不少流星。

因此，想观察双子座流星雨者，不妨在12/13的傍晚入夜后，一直观察到12/14的凌晨天亮前，受月光影响之后的数量，约还有每小时10～20颗左右，流星速度约每秒35公里，平均亮度中等（约2-3等），偶有火流星。

无人性

转载自亦舒的BLOG

运动会里，某组游泳女将跑出来，莺声呖呖接受访问，一看就知道必输无疑。

居然还有身段，胸是胸，臀是臀，可见练功不力，尚未变形，果然，赛果显示，该组包尾，一共八组，游第八。

冠军队冷静、坚毅、一言不发，人家只余肩膀发达，整个身体呈V字，已无女性特征，所有可以牺牲的，都已经放弃，生活中什么是首要，什么是次要，十分清楚。

真要成功，是要练得全无人性的，是否值得，则见仁见智，世上其实并无两全其美之事，想得到一样，必须放弃另一样。

办公室里，有时也会听见同事在电话中吩咐家务助理是晚做什么菜，如此缺乏专业精神，前途堪虞，自然难取冠军。

竞赛的天份是专注、集中、尽全力，绝不可能有旁骛，选手怎么可以挤眉弄眼嘻嘻哈哈，倘若还有心情享受这种平常乐趣，就还欠资格。

专业好比宗教，最好用一种虔诚的态度来处理，捧到奖座才笑未迟。

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION : REINSTATEMENT WITHOUT AMENDING LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1976 THROUGH PARLIAMENT

I have been published this article before. But I would like to publish it again coz it is really a good article and should be share by all.

This is an article regarding REINSTALL LOCAL ELECTION and have been published on THE EDGE recently.

This article wrote by a lawyer who do lot of study on LOCAL ELECTION and really mean to do some contribution.

Please republished it on blog or magazine or paper if you are keen to reinstall local election as well.

Let's work together for a Better Malaysia! Cheers!
Happy Reading! :D

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION : REINSTATEMENT WITHOUT AMENDING LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1976 THROUGH PARLIAMENT

INTRODUCTION

Much has been said and argued about the reinstatement of the local government election (“LG Election”). In fact, reinstatement of LG Election formed part of the manifesto of opposition in the 12th General Election. The very fundamental movement towards a matured democratic society must start with an LG Election. Without which, there cannot be true democracy.

This article is not written to analyze the effectiveness/efficiency of elected local authority than the appointed local authority. Rather, to provide some thought as to the alternatives available to those States which differ from the Federal Government in respect of LG Election. To put in another words, the purpose of this writing is to seek solution available to the State Governments (quite clearly the State Government under Pakatan Rakyat) who wish to hold LG Election, but feel constrained by the Federal Law and Federal Government, where the latter prefers local authority members to be selected.

Now I may sound naïve to assume that there is genuine intention of the Pakatan Rakyat State Governments to move for LG Election. Nevertheless, without such naïve presumption, it serves me no purpose of writing this article.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION – LAWS THAT PERMITS AND PROHIBITS

From historical perspective, there was a legislation called Local Government Election Act 1960 (“LG Election Act”), authorizing LG Election. Section 5A of the LG Election Act provides :

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the provisions of any written law which relates to Local Councils in force in any State, the State Authority may, after consultation with the Election Commission in respect of the boundaries of the local area and the number of Councillors to be elected to the Local Council having jurisdiction in such area, by order published in the Gazette of the State direct that the whole or a majority of the members of a Local Council shall be elected under this Act”

Subsequently, the Parliament deemed fit to enact the Local Government Act 1976 (“LG Act”) comprises of the provision affecting the LG Election in Section 15(1), which reads :

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any written law, all provisions relating to local government elections shall cease to have force or effect”.

It is accepted that the Federal Law ceases to have effect when it is expressly repealed by another Federal Law. In this case, the Parliament appears not to label their intention to stop LG Election by repealing the LG Election Act, as the Parliament did not include LG Election Act as lists of repealed law in the Second Schedule of LG Act pursuant to Section 166 of the same. However, by introduction of Section 15(1), Section 5A of LG Election Act became inconsistent with Section 15(1).

So, there arises a question whether Section 5A of LG Election Act has been repealed by “implication”. Repeal by implication is not unprecedented, and certainly not ruled out by Courts as unconstitutional. Nevertheless, there is always presumption against repeal by implication. The rationale is simple : the legislator is presumed to know the existing law, so when enacting a new law without providing repeal of old law, it gives out an intention not to repeal the existing legislation. In this case, Section 166 of LG Act provides for list of repealed acts/enactment, but LG Election Act was omitted. What is the proper interpretation of these provisions?

Quite clearly, these two provisions (Section 5A of LG Election Act and Section 15(1) of LG Act) cannot stand together. They contradict each others. In my view, this is a classic case where the Court would apply the principle of repeal by implication to strike down one of them. So, under this principle, the later supersedes the earlier. In the words of the Indian Supreme Court, the expression of “notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any written law” is a simple way of doing away the effect of pre-existing inconsistent law. The LG Election Act appears to have been enacted in 1960 where the LG Act was in 1976. Hence, LG Act prevails, and the operating law is Section 15(1) of LG Act which PROHIBITS LG Election.

The State Assembly is authorized by the Federal Constitution to enact law relating to local government. This is provided in Ninth Schedule, List (II), paragraph 4(a), including, of course, the local government election to its office bearers.

However, the Parliament may, in certain matters, and for the purpose only of ensuring uniformity of law and policy, make laws with respect thereto. According to Article 76 of the Federal Constitution, these matters include local government, which necessarily include local government election too.

The law made under this list shall be considered as Federal law but not State law. The State Assembly is limited by Article 75 of the Federal Constitution which provides :

“If any State law is inconsistent with a federal law, the federal law shall prevail and the State law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.”

It is therefore without doubt that the Federal legislation has power to make law pertaining local government election, and the State Assembly does not have power to repeal or amend it. The State Assembly too cannot make law that is inconsistent with the Federal law. The interim conclusion at this stage of analysis is that : in view of Section 15(1) of LG Act, the State Assembly cannot make law, despite so authorized by the Ninth Schedule, to “reinstate” LG Election. This conclusion of course is premised on the assumption of constitutionality of Section 15(1), which is the subject of my next discussion.

LEGAL SOLUTION (1) : CONSTITUTIONALITY OF S. 15(1)

Let me recap my conclusion above so as not to give impression of confusion and inconsistency. The incontrovertible conclusion of “the Federal legislation has power to make law pertaining local government election” does not necessarily means “the Federal legislation has power to make law to deprive local government election.”

Article 113(4) of the Federal Constitution provides :

“Federal or State law may authorise the Election Commission to conduct elections other than those referred to in Clause (1).”

Article 113(1) expressly confer power to either the Federal legislative body or State legislative body to command the Election Commission to conduct “other election” by way of Act of Parliament, or Enactment of a State. In my view, the words “elections other than those referred to in Clause (1)” encompass the LG Election.

The intention of this provision is clear : both Federal and State are conferred power to conduct LG Election through the Election Commission. Such power, in so far as the States are concerned, is vested by the Supreme law of the land.
It is my argument, Section 15(1) of LG Act, by declaring ceasation of all law relating to LG Election, has the effect of depriving the State legislature to make law to conduct the LG Election. Not only Section 15(1) of LG Act repealed implicitly the Federal Law authorizing LG Election, it prevents the State Assembly from making law within their express purview. It renders a constitutional power conferred by Federal Constitution ineffective.

It is provided in Article 4(1) of the Federal Constitution that

“This Constitution is the supreme law of the Federation and any law passed after Merdeka Day which is inconsistent with this Constitution shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void”

The Supremacy of Constitution has been repeatedly upheld in all the Courts of modern societies, and recognised as sanctity of law. Thus, the inconsistency between Section 15(1) of LG Act and Article 113(4) should be resolved in favour of Article 113(4). Section 15(1) of LG Act, in my view, should be declared unconstitutional.

Section 15(1) of LG Act cannot be saved by its constitutional backing in Article 76. Article 76 is an enabling provision or power conferring provision, namely to provide power to the Federal legislation to make law that regulate local government, including local government election. So, there should not be any dispute if the Federal legislation makes law to regulate local government election by setting out the procedure and rules applicable throughout the Peninsular. Article 76 only serves to protect Federal law, like LG Election Act from being struck down for unconstitutional for transgression the State List. The conferring of power to regulate a matter cannot be taken to include conferring power to repeal or deprive the other legislative authorities’ power to make law pertaining the same, particularly when it is confronted with the express provision on specific matter in Article 113(4).

LEGAL SOLUTION (2) : EXEMPTION BY GAZETTE

If the State authority does not wish to engage with the Federal on legal battle, which in any event, uncertain as to it outcome, a practical approach may be found in LG Act itself.

Section 1(4) of the LG Act provides :

“The State Authority may, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (2), by notification in the Gazette exempt any area within any local authority area from all or any of the provisions of the Act or from any by-laws.”

So, Section 15(1) of the LG Act is not absolute and permanent. The Act itself permits exemption of its operation by Gazette. In this respect, perhaps Section 1(4) is the better option. At the risk of being inconsistency, an argument can in fact be advanced that if we read Section 1(4) and 15(1) of LG Act together, there is nothing unconstitutional about Section 15(1) because after all, the State authority is still empowered to suspend operation of Section 15(1) of LG Act in the event they GENUINELY wish to reinstate LG Election. In such situation, Section 15(1) posed no prohibition to LG Election.

So now left the question of political will on the part of Pakatan Rakyat which is tested by time.

Potential?

"Potential need to come with right attitude and determination."

这是面试以后，一位朋友寄来的信息。。。
虽然有如当头棒喝，却实在敲醒了那个正在“得意洋洋”的自己。。。

是啊！从小就觉得自己有一些些小聪明，
但是，小时了了，大未必佳，
因为，自己太懒惰、太不能专注了。

总不知道什么是最重要的，
总是没办法把要办的、必须办的、应该办的给区分好，
所以，总是花了许多的时间却没有太大的收益。

但是，什么才是能够让自己态度正确又坚定信念的选择呢？
嗯。。。还没有确切的答案。。。


只知道，如果再找不到答案，那就会像另一位朋友说的，
"那就只是潜质！"

Thanks for the Chance!

I am being Thankful!

Thanks for the Chance & Thanks for everything.
Thanks for those who apreciate me...

I will do my best no matter what I choose in the end! :)
