TV3 Lestary: Sindarela OST (Aku Sindarela: Amylea Akademi Fantasia/AF 3)

This is another song that’s on my playlist at the moment. It’s the soundtrack from TV3’s Lestary series entitled Sindarela. The show, which is airing at the moment on TV3, is not really that great, but I do like the soundtracks.

Here’s the song Aku Sindarela by Amylea. This is the slow/sad version of Aku Sindarela.

I don’t believe in religions!

The title caught your attention didn’t it? And yes, I do believe in God, mind you.

Last year, I was involved in the executive committee of a religious organisation at my university and we organised an information talk about God.

After the talk, we had some refreshments and some casual mingling. I and a few others had a chat with this lovely lady who happens to not believe in God. “I’m an atheist”, she says. She claims that religion is the cause of all the instabilities in the world and one shouldn’t believe in these… “Gods”. Everybody is killing each other because of differing opinions in the meaning of God and the “right way” to live a life.

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s Blog (Che Det)

I just found out that our former PM Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has just started his own blog.

I’ve had a roller coaster relationship (not that I know him personally but more like how I felt towards Dr. M :P ) with him these past years. I used to like him, then hate him, and ultimately have an utmost respect towards Tun Mahathir.

It’d be interesting to delve into his thoughts on the going-ons of Malaysia.

Here’s his blog:

Dr. Mohamad Khir Toyo’s, Mohd Ali Rustam’s, and Dr. Chua Soi Lek’s Blogs

Due to the recent “downfall” of Barisan Nasional in our beloved Malaysia, a lot of Barisan Nasional’s leaders have acknowledged the power and influence of blogs and bloggers, and now, they have opted to own blogs themselves.

So much for Khairy Jamaluddin calling bloggers BERUK and Azalina Othman labelling bloggers as PENGECUT.

Tu la, korang jangan pandai-pandai cakap benda-benda mcm tu. Sekarang dah ramai ketua-ketua BN ikut masuk Persatuan Beruk Pengecut.

Anyway, here are some of the blogs authored by Barisan Nasional’s folks:

Teacher-Student Sexual Harassment - True Story

The topic of the day is sexual harassment. Aisyahrozi talked about her experience. Mohd Ismail talked about his. Now, I’ll talk about my experience.

Well, it’s actually not about me being sexually harassed. It’s about a friend of mine.

This happened when I was in primary school. I think it was in standard 3.

The perpetrator = A married female teacher (I’m assuming she was already married).

The victim = a boy.
