Suara Hati Ayahku

Salam. Today we all got to attend Majlis Perhimpunan Bulanan. The agenda is first senamrobic (with english 'disco' songs) followed by a main speech by the big boss and then eating, drinking, he..he.., with my friends from different faculties, cooperate to sort out our new library and its books and then we all dispersed.

Now I am in my small office. There are piles and piles of essays to be marked yet. God willing I will try to mark them as fast as possible. The main critic of their essays is they did not follow the rules laid out in their technical writing courses which they had taken in the first 2 semesters in year 1 program prior to my course in Semester 3 Year 1. There were many examples of text that were lifted directly ffrom the internet. But the good thing was they wrote them out using pen and paper as instructed in order to cut down the traditions of producing essays using ;.. cut, copy and paste style'. 99% of them sent it on time. Thank you guys. You mean business this time.

Lets return to the senamrobic just now. My friends and I exercised quite vigorously with all parts of our body puffing out syncronising with the modern music. The amount of sweat that came pouring out from our body pores proved some how serious we put the effort of doing the exercises. But alas ..it ends up with eating nasi lemak - lot of cholesterol (lemak kelapa) and kfc-chicken type. So in sum, if a big belly wo/man lose 3000 k-calories from the senamrobic s/he will gain another 4000 k-calories from the nasi lemak and chicken menu at the end of the exercise. Laugh. So we brought home an extra 1000 k-calories of lemak. Just wondering where were our dieticians, food scientists etc etc .. Can't they recommend just a simple fruit juice and a piece of cooky for each of us? he..he..

The other point is why should we dance with the modern music? I thought all along .. we will use malaysian songs in order to promote our own malaysian music and intellectual properties and what not. I said so because the goverment have changed from using English in maths and science classes to Malaysian language in those classes in all schools effectively during the last few months . Alas may be our songs are fitting for the closing stage for the senamrobic only. In sum we could not part company with modern english songs (imported from USA, and Europe) that are originally penned for our youngters and their gang. We could not produce songs of that type yet that fit this kind of senamrobic occasion(s). So for those outside there - multimedia people plz catch this 'marketing gap'. U must get the product out for this kind of assembly. Quick and don't wait.

Agghhhh who am I to comment? I am just an ordinary humble staff marking his time seriously towards his pension stage. Laugh and Wallahu alam
