Wasted & Crazy.

Fun night with great companies! This was how I got to look like towards the end of the night...

Note: What you may see are just snippets of what happened throughout the Saturday night saga. You may speculate or assume whatever you wish to. At least I had fun! :))

* Yours truly with the goblet and the beautiful girlfriend next to me - Tetiana. ;)

*When I needed somebody... hahahah! (-_-!)

*Ehee...smoochie! Ain't my girlfriend a darling? :)

Achtung! : What Malaysian Borneans SHOULD know (Please read thoroughly)

The 18/20- Points of  Agreements for Sarawak and Sabah while joining Malaya to form the Federation which is now we call MALAYSIA.


Point 1: Religion
While there was no objection to Islam being the national religion of Malaysia there should be no State religion in Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah), and the provisions relating to Islam in the present Constitution of Malaya should not apply to Borneo


Point 2: Language
* a. Malay should be the national language of the Federation
* b. English should continue to be used for a period of 10 years after Malaysia Day
* c. English should be an official language of Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) for all purposes, State or Federal, without limitation of time.


Point 3: Constitution
Whilst accepting that the present Constitution of the Federation of Malaya should form the basis of the Constitution of Malaysia, the Constitution of Malaysia should be a completely new document drafted and agreed in the light of a free association of states and should not be a series of amendments to a Constitution drafted and agreed by different states in totally different circumstances. A new Constitution for Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) was of course essential.


Point 4: Head of Federation
The Head of State in Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should not be eligible for election as Head of the Federation


Point 5: Name of Federation
“Malaysia” but not “Melayu Raya”


Point 6: Immigration
Control over immigration into any part of Malaysia from outside should rest with the Central Government but entry into Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should also require the approval of the State Government. 
The Federal Government should not be able to veto the entry of persons into Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) for State Government purposes except on strictly security grounds. 
Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should have unfettered control over the movements of persons other than those in Federal Government employ from other parts of Malaysia Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah).


Point 7: Right of Secession
There should be no right to secede from the Federation


Point 8: Borneanisation
Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.


Point 9: British Officers
Every effort should be made to encourage British Officers to remain in the public service until their places can be taken by suitably qualified people from Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah).


Point 10: Citizenship
The recommendation in paragraph 148(k) of the Report of the Cobbold Commission should govern the citizenship rights in the Federation of Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) subject to the following amendments:
* a) sub-paragraph (i) should not contain the proviso as to five years residence
* b) in order to tie up with our law, sub-paragraph (ii)(a) should read “7 out of 10 years” instead of “8 out of 10 years”
* c) sub-paragraph (iii) should not contain any restriction tied to the citizenship of parents – a person born in Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) after Malaysia must be federal citizen.


Point 11: Tariffs and Finance
Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should retain control of its own finance, development and tariff, and should have the right to work up its own taxation and to raise loans on its own credit.


Point 12: Special position of indigenous races
In principle, the indigenous races of Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should enjoy special rights analogous to those enjoyed by Malays in Malaya, but the present Malays’ formula in this regard is not necessarily applicable in Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah)


Point 13: State Government
* a) the Prime Minister should be elected by unofficial members of Legislative Council
* b) There should be a proper Ministerial system in Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah)


Point 14: Transitional period
This should be seven years and during such period legislative power must be left with the State of Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) by the Constitution and not be merely delegated to the State Government by the Federal Government.


Point 15: Education
The existing educational system of Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should be maintained and for this reason it should be under state control.


Point 16: Constitutional safeguards
No amendment modification or withdrawal of any special safeguard granted to Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should be made by the Central Government without the positive concurrence of the Government of the State of North BorneoThe power of amending the Constitution of the State of Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) should belong exclusively to the people in the state. 
(Note: The United Party, The Democratic Party and the Pasok Momogun Party considered that a three-fourth majority would be required in order to effect any amendment to the Federal and State Constitutions whereas the UNKO and USNO considered a two-thirds majority would be sufficient).


Point 17: Representation in Federal Parliament
This should take account not only of the population of Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah) but also of its seize and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Singapore.


Point 18: Name of Head of State
Yang di-Pertua Negara


Point 19: Name of State
Sarawak or Sabah


Point 20: Land, Forests, Local Government, etc.
The provisions in the Constitution of the Federation in respect of the powers of the National Land Council should not apply in Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah). Likewise, the National Council for Local Government should not apply in Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah).

*** 
Peeps, TREASURE these points like you treasure your lives, your rights and your families. DO NOT let any party to get into their way of breaching these points or else, our kind shall perish into no-where...God Bless Borneo (Sarawak & Sabah).

Achtung! : Learning German

Hey. I've been learning bits of foreign languages now and then and frankly admitting, my fondness for languages is just an undying love!

I tried every now and then too, to get accessed to sites which can offer me free lessons and at the same time allowing me to interact with the native speakers of languages which I wish to learn, on the spot. One of those incredible sites are : busuu.com. 

I've registered myself for Spanish, Italian and the most interesting of all GERMAN. I have always been fascinated by German language ever since long before - when I played the game, the first Call of Duty. Then I got to watch the Band of Brothers where German language could sound so cool and sexy... (I know, I'm just one cliched lady haha...). Few months after that I happened to meet real Germans in real life, two tourists that one of them had intrigued me in certain ways. So I took the initiative to start learning and applying basic lines whenever I could. 

Till today, I have come back to my sense, after a long hiatus from revising on my previous German lessons, that I need to re-revise and start over as I have a new mission. That is to be able to talk to someone I know who's from Germany and next year I am planning to visit the other side of the map - Europe. Hence, of course Germany would be in my top list! :)

So here are bits of vocabulary that I wish to share with you dear readers/ 'stalkers' :)

Common German Greetings:

  • Hallo – hello [hullo]
  • Guten Morgen! – good morning [gootan moahgan]
  • Guten Tag! – good day [gootan tahk]
  • Guten Abend! – good evening [gootan ah-bent]
  • Gute Nacht! – good night [gootah nukht]
  • Grüß Gott! – greetings to God (in southern Germany, Austria) [gruiz gott]
  • Grüß dich! – greetings to you [gruiz deekh]
  • Mahlzeit! – enjoy your lunch [muhllzyte]
  • Prost! – cheers (when drinking) [prohst]

    I hope you guys find this useful :)  Till next time! Bis bald alle!

    Ah, the first post. Here you are, no more a virgin. Right.

    This will be my second spot to seek for solace and refuge. I sure rant and muck a lot too. So please please please, if you wanna subscribe or follow this page, please be reminded for I have forewarned you; words may be harsh and hostile at most of the time.

    In this one,  I'll try to be more transparent and no beating behind the bush (as the whites' saying would say)...

    Behold, for thy ears will bleed, thy eyes shall be blind, thy lips must be sealed. Here --- you will see, hear and speak EVIL and GOOD together with me. Zusammen ist besser, nein? Hehehehe...

    Till then, speak/write soon!
