AUKU? Apa tu?

Today, a good fren of mine who is a journalist asked for my opinion as a student on AUKU amendment recently. Honestly, tak pernah amik tahu pun pasal AUKU ni since study in college. Sebab nak tolong kawan punya pasal, semangat la pegi google on what is AUKU and what is it all about.

Mengikut kamus kegemaran saya - GOOGLE - WIKIPEDIA - AUKU ialah Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti 1971 (AUKU 1971) merupakan satu akta yang digubal oleh kerajaan Malaysia yang diperkenankan oleh raja pada 27 April 1971. Ia juga merupakan suatu akta sebahagiannya di bawah kuasa Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi Malaysia untuk mengadakan peruntukan bagi penubuhan, penyelenggaraan dan pentadbiran universiti-universiti dan kolej-kolej universiti awam dan bagi perkara-perkara lain yang berkenaan dengannya.[1] Akta ini dipinda pada tahun 1975 dan 1995 menjadi Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti (Pindaan) 1995. 

So baru2 ni ada pindaan lagi (baru tau lepas google) untuk membenarkan students ni participate in politics. Dulu tak boleh!! Hehe....Isz, hope opinion aku yg tak seberapa n ntah tercapai ke tidak maksud tu can help you a bit on ur writing :D

In my opinion, the amendment to allow University/College students to participate in Politics is good in term of mencapai hak kebebasan bersuara. But, kena la ada limitation such as, students cannot neglect their studies semata-mata nak join aktiviti politik tu. Contohnya, ponteng kelas sebab nak pegi bagi ceramah politik. Apart from that, masa orientation new students, kena bagi briefing on rules/tatatertib untuk participate in politics - the do's and don'ts - so that 'Kebebasab Bersuara' tu tak bercanggah dgn tujuan sebenar masuk U untuk study. Maybe MOE bleh suggest to have one subject wajib related to politics so that students have an overview on what is politic all about? What is the good practice inside/outside the country? How to get involve and how to handle it. So takdela student ni go overboard and tersasar jauh dari tujuan sebenar kepentingan politik. Boleh nampak la sekarang ni politik kat Malaysia ni kebanyakan semua semata-mata nak memberontak and tikam each other. Maybe kat situ kita bleh hasilkan leader yang bersih! Leading to a better future :D

Sekian, terima kasih.

All the single ladies..

Breakup Recovery 101: Five Rules You Must

Follow!

by StyleCaster, on Tue Oct 6, 2009 1:11pm PDT

Whether or not you were together for two weeks, six months, or four years, breakups hurt. And they can be really hard to get over. If you listen to the wise words of Charlotte on Sex and the City, it takes half the time you were together to get over him. Here are a few more wise words to help make your next breakup a little easier.

Don't Talk to Him

The most crucial rule in breaking up is to not talk to the person you're breaking up with. Even if you think you can handle it and still get over the person, you can't. Don't kid yourself; feelings will get hurt. Take some time off, get over him, and maybe someday in the future you'll be friends. Until then, lick your wounds and recover any way you'd like; whether that be partying hard, staying in bed for days with pints of ice cream, or spending absurd amounts of money on clothes you don't need. No one will say a thing; we all heal in our own, weird ways.

Snap Out of It

Remember how things, like stupid songs and movies and that little spot in the park that you two went to on your first date used to be "yours"? Well, they're not anymore. Don't make a connection to platonic objects when there isn't one. Remind yourself that you like that spot in the park because of the good view, not because of anyone connected to it. There's no point losing more than you have to from a breakup, so don't get all sappy on yourself.

Reconnect with Your Friends

No matter how much you say you're not going to be that girl who gives up her friends for her boyfriend; everyone gives up a little of their time to spend with their guy. Well, now is the time to make it up to them (and, you could use the girl talk). So, go out and have fun; grab your best wing woman, and remember how much fun being single really is.

Take Some Time For Yourself

Amidst all of this trying not to talk to him, hanging out with friends, partying more and/or eating lots and lots of ice cream-you need to remember to sit back and actually work through your feelings. Understand why things went south, and why you're better off this way. And in no time you'll be back to your old self, and what's-his-name will be a thing of the past.

It's All About Rewards

And finally, do all of the little things that make you happy every day. Yep, being single means thinking about you, you, you. So, go and take that extra time after work and buy yourself that little ring you've been obsessing over. Or take a long walk and meet a friend for cupcakes because well, you can. Have fun spoiling yourself, because you deserve it after....wait, what? I'm forgetting already.

Cinta itu ikhlas, ia datang tanpa diundang, ia pergi tanpa dipaksa

oops: Half of the time?! may need another 5 years then,,.. =/

8 Foods That Fight Fat

Got this interesting article from Yahoo...dedicated to anyone yang nak maintain or kuruskan badan....sila baca...

By Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief - Posted on Thu, Oct 08, 2009.

Want to lose weight as you chow down? Your wish is granted! (I promise, this is no fairy tale.) Your supermarket is filled with foods that studies show have lipid-melting powers to help melt fat and keep you slim. Stock up on these fat-fighting super bites, and you'll be trimmer even as you indulge. Read on to discover the eight foods that deserve a permanent spot in your fridge—and in your diet!

Almonds These yummy nuts are high in alpha-linolenic acid, which can accelerate your metabolism of fats. In fact, dieters who ate 3 ounces of almonds daily slashed their weight and body-mass index by 18 percent, while those who skipped the nuts reduced both numbers less— just 11 percent—a study in the International Journal of Obesity revealed. Chomp almonds à la carte (limit yourself to 12 per serving to keep calories in check). I get a pack at Starbucks and nibble throughout my day. Or sprinkle them into a recipe such as Black Bean–Almond Pesto Chicken. Go nuts!

Berries I tell my daughter, "These are nature's candy!" Turns out they're also your body's best friends. Strawberries, raspberries and other vitamin C–spiked fruit can supercharge your workout, helping you burn up to 30 percent more fat, research from Arizona State University at Mesa has found. If they're not in season, buy the little gems frozen in a bulk-sized bag so you'll always have them on hand to whip up a Berry Bliss Smoothie or Strawberry-Sunflower Pops, regardless of whether berries are in season.

Cinnamon Adding 1/4 teaspoon to your plate may prevent an insulin spike—an uptick that tells your body to store fat. Sprinkle it on your morning cereal or coffee or on your yogurt in the A.M., or savor it in Apple-Cinnamon-Raisin Oatmeal.

Mustard It's heaven on a soft pretzel, but mustard may also be a weight loss wonder. Turmeric, the spice that gives mustard its color, may slow the growth of fat tissues, a study in the journal Endocrinology finds. Use it on sandwiches instead of mayo, or sprinkle turmeric on cauliflower pre-roasting to give it a kick. Try it on tuna salad—I promise it adds zest.

Oranges This citrus fruit, which contains fat-blasting compounds known as flavones, deserves to be your main squeeze. Women who ate the most flavones had a much lower increase in body fat over a 14-year period, a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition notes. Eat oranges sliced or swig fresh OJ (including pulp!) to get the best benefit from the fruit.

Soybeans Reason to toss a half cup on your salad? Soybeans are rich in choline, a compound that blocks the absorption of fat and breaks down fatty deposits. Oh, and they're addictively delish! But if breast cancer runs in your family, experts suggest you should talk to your doc before adding soy to your diet.

Sweet potatoes The colorful spuds' high-fiber content means they keep your insulin steadier than their white sisters, which means less fat packed on your hips, research finds. Top a small baked tater with lowfat cottage cheese for a tempting side dish, or whip up Miso Soup With Sweet Potato Dumplings.

Swiss cheese Calcium-rich foods reduce fat-producing enzymes and increase fat breakdown, and Swiss has more calcium than many of its cheesy peers. Choose the reduced-fat variety, such as Sargento. Slip it into your sandwich, put it on top of high-fiber crackers or use it for a healthier grilled cheese. Yum!

ooops: love oranges & berries...
