Dr. M quits UMNO... MOTIFFFF???

Tun Mahathir made another aggresive highlight pressuring Pak Lah to step down since the dismal showing in the last general election in March. He will not be an UMNO member as long as Pak Lah remain as an UMNO President and all this is claimed for the sake of Malays... katanya, beliau dah tak confident dengan UMNO's ability to safeguard the rights and privileges of the Malays.. But since when that UMNO is really capable in protecting the Malays?? Emmm.. 1946-1980 maybeeeeee....

UMNO was corrupted long agooo.. Zaman Tun lagi kan... so what difference does it makes in surviving the Malays?... Kalau nak ikut dijajah sampai sekarang pun still 'dijajah'.. The only significant difference seen between Tun's era and Pak Lah's is the leadership.. Mahathirism vs Islam Hadari... Eventhough corruption, cronisme and all the politics destruction that happened during Tun's era is similarly critical, but it is taken as 'lumrah politik'. During that time, Tun's achievement in putting Malaysia in the world map is very impressive which made sightless attention to other political issues happening in the country. Tapi bila time Pak Lah, aku pun tatau achievement apa yang ada kat Malaysia.. Islam Hadari tu sendiri pun dah tak kena... ISLAM ITU SATU je.. mudah sangat... tapiiiiiii nakkkkkk jugaakkk dengar cakap KJ itewwww (skng senyapppp lak.. tak berani lawan mukhrizkah??)

Pak Lah is a very weak leader.. He's not even a leader, more as a follower.. he's also acting deaf when people requested him to step down for an obvious reason. Tapi nak buat macam mana, he believes what he believes. And if he thought he can bring back the glory of Malays and the unity of UMNO, I AM WAITING FOR THE DAY occay... :P.

Anyway, back to Tun, I am not quite clear with his decision to quit UMNO. Peralihan kuasa will be by end of this year, why can't he waits if Pak Lah is the main issue? He seems to be desperate wanting Pak Lah to step down as soon as possible. Was it really about Malays and UMNO, or is it a fighting frustration when his immediate suggestions and opinion from election result previously did not attract attention. OR is it concerning of 'saving' his butt from the judicial fixing crime???

We must not forget that apart from being a man who think one generation ahead, Tun is undeniable a first-class strategist. Benarkah kata Hang Tuah, 'Takkan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia???'

Renung-renungkanlah...

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT....

Semalam aku gi tengok Dragon Boat race kat Salford Quays... Event ni dia panggil 'race between two cities', Manchester ngan Salford la.. So uni aku lawan ngan uni Salford.. Kira social event between the universities la.. Teringat cam zaman undergrad dulu... terasa tua laks... hohohoh

Selalu tu kalau dragon race kat Mesia mesti meriah je kan.. ngan gendang ngan sorak nyer.. So aku interestd la jugak nak tgk camna the local supports towards this event kan... Masa sampai tu team2 tengah wat saringan kot rasanya.. banyak giler team n banyak jugak kategori derang... Aku pun takde la baget cam race kat Mesia since yang masuk pun bukan pro kan.. hahahah...

Yang ni the first two teams yang aku sampai derang tengah get ready ke starting point..

Tak silap aku white team ni one of my uni team..

Ok, aku citer la sket pasal dragon boat race kan... Usually the crew comprises of the paddlers, one drummer (kat depan) and one steerer/helm (cam brader baju biru kat belakang ni)

Gigih sangat derang kayuh kan... Hahahaha... Steerer ni penting coz he/she must be aware with the boat's surroundings (i.e wind, wake of other boats, etc) so that they cam reach an optimum speed sambil paddlers suma tu gigih mengayuh kannnnnn... buruh kasar sangats.. hahahaha.. Pastu ada drummer - the heatrbeat of the dragon boat. Drummer nyer job is to lead the crew with ryhthmic beating to indicate the timing and frequency of the paddling strokes. Tapi yang ni takde la rhythm pun.. hihihi.. kalau slalu tgk tu siap drummer wat2 aksi skalik.. itu 5 bintang.. hahaha... Tapi paling ketara skali dalam rowing the boat ni, susah nak dapat a synchronize paddling... Kalau sync baru la laju kan... so race yang aku tgk ni, tak baper laju.. hahahaha... tp the efforts that count.... It's not as easy as it seems to be..


Ni team kaler purple ni team uni aku la... tengok kaler pun tau.. gagagagaga... Laju bagai kan mendahului.. WAHHHH skalik!! Tapi aku tatau la sukses masuk final ke tak kan.. :$

Haaa.. yang team kat bawah ni creative... tatau la korang leh perasan ke tak, sebab gambar sideways, aku tak sempat nak ambik frontview.. Selain dari derang pakai cam selendang macam kain pelekat tu, derang conteng muka ala2 Red Indian gitu... hahahah... Wak aksi ganas ka kiranya... WALAUPUNNNNN kalah ngan purple tu tadik kan.. hahahhahaha... tapi ada team spirit... caiyokkkk!!

Pastu ada la lagi team2 lain... banyak lah team n kategori .. Event ni pun abis lewat petang , tapi takde la aku tunggu sampai abis... Aper yang aku suka pasal event ni is their diversities and i'm quite proud to see a traditional Asian paddling race in another continent.. sesuatu yang dibudayakan kat sini.. Masa blah petang tu, memang ramai giler la org gi support.. meriah gak la...

Pastu aku jumper la keta red bull mini cooper ni.. Sebelum ni aku nampak few times gak keta ni parking kat lorong kat hall aku... tuan dia pi Sainbury's kot...hahahahhaha... Tapi kali ni jumpa lagi aku klik la skali gambar... huhuhu..




Ala2 dah puas tengok, aku gi jalan2 kat Lowry outlet yang sebelah sungai tu je... Tapi tak best pun... kecik je, pastu kedai2 dia pun tak best.. huhuhu.. And then sebelum balik aku masuk la Imperial War Museum North yang seberang sungai tu...







Museum ni ada tower leh nampak view Salford and Manchester.. So aku naik la... Lama dah tak naik tempat tinggi skang ni... huhuhuh...





So, tuh jela aktiviti aku wiken ni untuk menghilangkan kebosanan... hahahahah...
