Undilah.



PENCALONAN

Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri bagi kawasan : PUJUT N17

JOSHUA BAKIR ANAK NUING

UMUR: 20 tahun

PEKERJAAN: TIADA

CALON BEBAS

MANIFESTO:

saya berjanji sebagai seorang YB akan menyediakan lebih banyak tempat selamat untuk berdating, memandang kan banyak kes ragut di Miri City Fan dan juga Bulatan Park. Orang ramai juga takut berdating di kawasan pantai pada waktu malam sebab berhantu. Oleh itu, sebagai YB, saya akan menjemput TAPS dari US untuk menghalau hantu tersebut.

Jika dilantik sebagai YB, saya berjanji akan menyediakan lebih banyak kemudahan Kelab Malam untuk penduduk2 Miri. Kelab Malam ini akan dilaksanakan seperti di Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur misalnya seperti Quatro ataupun Ministry of Sound by Euphoria. Sebagai YB saya juga berjanji menurunkan cover charge sebayak 45%. Waktu pembukaan kelab juga dipanjangkan ke pukul 5 pagi.( pukul 7 pagi bagi hari jumaat dan sabtu)

Saya juga berjanji untuk menurunkan Had umur bagi clubbing ke 16 tahun bagi perempuan dan 17 tahun bagi lelaki. Ini adalah untuk memberi galakan kepada generasi muda untuk melakukan aktiviti sihat seperti menari. Walaubagaimapun merokok di kelab malam tersebut adalh dilarang sama sekali sebab saya tidak suka bau rokok.

Sebagai galakan ekonomi kepada pengimport alkohol, saya sebagai YB berjanji akan memansuhkan cukai import alkohol terutamanya bagi Wiski, Vodka, Tequila, Gin dan lain lain.

Larangan import bagi minuman yang mempunyai 70% alkohol(seperti Apsin) juga akan dimansuhkan. Bukan sahaja ini dapat mengalakan ekonomi, tapi ia juga dapat mengalakan aktiviti sihat seperti bersuka-ria dan mengerat lagi silaturahim antara kaum kaum yang berbeza di Miri.

Saya juga berjanji untuk menambahkan geran kerajaan kepada sekolah SMK St Columba dan juga SRK St Columba sebab itu adalah sekolah lama saya. Saya akan mengambil wang tambahan yang sepatutnya disalurkan kepada S.M.K Chung Hua sebab dulu sekolah itu bermusuh dengan sekolah kami.

Sebagai YB, saya akan bekerja keras untuk memperkenalkan undang undang yang melarangkan generasi muda memakai baju secara fesyen LALA sebab ini adalah tidak sihat dan juga amat menjengkelkan. Lelaki yang mempunyai rambut spiky yang lebih tinggi dari 12 cm akan dibotakan, terutamanya yang mencelup rambut warna oren, kuning dan sebagainya. Perempuan yang mengunakkan stokin tinggi dan berbelang akan dikenakan saman. rm 300 untuk stokin sama warna, dan rm1000 untuk yang memakai stokin berwarna campur aduk.

Akhir sekali, Penduduk brunei akan dikenakan 4 kali ganda harga parking kereta. Dan untuk yang double parking, kereta akan ditunda dan dikenakan kompaun sebanyak rm 1000, penjara 2 tahun, atau kedua-duanya sekali serta dilarang memasuki Miri untuk tempoh 4 tahun.Ini adalah supaya memberi keutamaan bagi penduduk tempatan untuk membeli belah dengan senangnya terutamanya di Bintang Plaza.

Saya, Joshua Bakir Nuing, jika dilantik sebagai YB berjanji akan melaksanakan manifesto saya dengan amanah, cekap dan bertanggungjawab. Undilah untuk kemajuan. Undilah Joshua Bakir Nuing.

Sweating it out.

Holidays are always so boring. U enjoy the first few days..then after that you start to feel restless. All the lose ends from INTI are slowly starting to tie up. My passport( which i thought was accidently thrown away whilst room clearing) was found in my USJ apartment by my bro. IELTs is comming to Miri, so i dont have to fly to Kuching or KL. The only thing left between me and Adelaide are my results.

Everytime i check the student portal, i lose 10 years of my life coz of the tension. Bloody thing takes 10 seconds to load, only to see the words : RESULTS FOR THIS SEMESTER ARE NOT AVAILABLE. PLEASE CHECK AT A LATER DATE.

Kanena.

So ive been keeping myself busy. To prevent my brain from rusting, I decided to help vivian with her case studies, which is proving to be a real bitch. Case B lah..confusing @@"

Ive been also trying to shed some more weight and get my muscles more defined..Inspired by crossfit training, ive decided to give my workouts names as well.

For example:

Jessica--> 150 skip ropes-fast n light, 15 push ups, 30 crunches, 10 military press. repeat 4 times.

Btw, names are totally random. I guess the sexier the name, the harder the workout haha.

Then again some workouts are inspired by larger-than-life individuals.

For example:

Hoyt(google this) : jog 4km, swim 1-2km. if i got a bicycle, id cycle from Bintang plaza back to my house in pujut 7.( which i guess is about 5 kms give or take.)

FYI, i havent actually done that haha.

-__-"

Im so random.

Will do a proper update soon as requested by a certain someone. Till then, cya!

KK trip

Its my second day back in miri..and the holiday blues are here. Ive been going to the gym, eating alot, gym, eating alot, gym and eating alot. Did i mention eating alot? Yeah well, one more for good measure. Ive been eating alot. So much for my ambitious 10kg in a month plan :/

But theres one thing which i look forward to doing sometime in june..

Climbing the mother-bitch of all mountains in malaysia



Ahh yes, me and my bastard fren of 9 years avery wee chee sin gonna climb Mount Kinabalu..(still in the planning phase la)..rach, u sure u don wanna come?? ure missin outtt.


Looks impressive eh?

its only 4++km vertical height from base to peak, but the trail itself stretches for about 8kms. Ive been there when i was a 95kg 14 yr old, and managed to make it to laban rata at km 6. So i figured now, after living on the 4th floor of INTI hostel Block L for 1 and a half years, id be much more ready to take on the mountain. If we do go this time, ill make sure i summit the damn thing.


missed this part the last time i tried

Avery, to answer ur ques, the climb package is about rm800++ per person. Plus the stay in a kk hotel and whatever activities we wanna do i think its gonna cost rm1400 including airfare to and fro miri...the booze i can sponsor la. U better start stealing from ur mum or sister's purse now. Or if not u can sell urself behind sin liang or pasar ikan miri..


Wee chee sin 2005 mufti day

This is the asshole im supposed to be climbing with..actually now tht i think about it i am kinda worried. But im pretty sure there wont be any shortage of things to laugh at when ure around biatch.

Seeing tht if only 2 of us were to climb it would seem rather gay( Rach, this gives you even more reason to join us..balance the sexes abit), I officially extend my invitation to anyone who is available end of june/early july for about 3-4days. Just gimme a call and we'll work things out. Be prepared to fork out around Rm1400 around there la.

And yeah, u havta be reasonably fit la..its not that hard but the last few kms are a real bitch.

Averaging of 4 hours sleep per day..thats because im a lazy student.

And eating fired rice for virtually every meal..yucks!

Heck im so free now i don't even know what to do first...so many options!

Should i gym? Should i go clubbing? Go jalan jalan??Go KLIA to look at planes??Or maybe sleep..hahahaha..for the next 2 months, i will be elevated to the status of an immortal, enjoying the pleasures of life..well thts until my results come out la.

But i'll cross that bridge when i reach it.

I think for now ill rest, and try to fight off this annoying sore throat and mild fever.

off to lalaland where everything is beautiful.

Almost there..

Microbio went surprisingly well. My gamble paid off! Hardly any questions on proteobacteria came out hahahahaha! So i didnt waste my time cracking my head memorizing countless properties of those godforsaken creatures.

And a question similar to one which we did during the revision came out..thank God i paid attention when discussing the pathogenic properties of Clostridium botulinum

So now theres only genetics left, and i scored pretty well for the internals, so not so stressed compared to Micro and immuno

:D

Then its off to Aaliyah or Ministry of Sound where me and Sid will carry out our deal that we must use our natural charms to pick up a girl and flirt(at least one) whilst clubbing/partying before we leave Inti.

And I dont think i should use phillip's line which he thought me many years ago in sunway.

''baby did it hurt, when you fell down from heaven?''

HAHAHA

Wish me luck, in genetics and in clubbing ;)

Ramblings..

Regrets. My life is full of them. one mistake after the other,Faltered plans and wasted effort. Missed chances and failed dreams.

There are times when i wonder what is it that i have done in my previous life, that i am cursed like this?

Having to endure the pain of witnessing the success of others. To have my picture perfect outcome played out in front of my very eyes. Having to endure the pain of thinking, ''I wish that were me''.

So close, and yet so far. To see my dreams slip away, with merely a hint of its taste lingering in the air.

I have regrets in everything. Education, relationships, and life in general.

Well, I say it stops now.

I want to have a place among the victors. To stand tall and proud of my achievements.

I want to have peace of mind, knowing that I did my best, leaving no room for regrets.

Most of all, I want to claim what is rightfully mine,

and that is success in everything i set out to do.

In education,in relationships and life in general.

...I wonder if anyone can hear me?

The story so far..

This is probably going to be my last post until after my finals are done. I really had to korek my brain to figure out what to blog about..so i decided to blog about myself!

This is my story.So far la..

I came to this world early in the morning on the 19th of October 1988. For some reason Dad didn't handle the delivery. Maybe sien already la..im the 4th one after all haha!

Used to smile much more whilst taking photos..

I was quickly baptized into the Anglican faith at St.Columba's church..cant remember the name of that priest, but thats my fashionable mum in the colourful outfit haha. Hey, its 1988 ok.
Thats Patrick and Liza, my 2 elder siblings. I seriously can't recall much from the early days. The earliest concious memory of my childhood only stretches back as far as kindy.
Growing up with four siblings was quite an experience, there was never a quiet day. And us boys would either be busy playing or fighting. Either way there was always someone who ended up crying. Strangely enough, i remember patrick having frequent nosebleeds whenever there was the usual ruckuss.

And then i remember those trips we would make to our kampung in Balingian. When i was a toddler, i didnt really mind. As i grew up, i hated going back. Now, as a 20 year old..i have mixed feelings. On one hand, I can never get used to life where theres only 6-9hours of electricity, no fridge, no tv. Power cut at 9-10pm(meaning sleeptime is 9-10pm). Then again, this is my home and my people. So i usually go without making too much fuss nowadays.
I'd normally spend my time fooling around the longhouse..or go swimming in the pond with my uncle..the same pond where they slaughter pigs/cows,pee and take dumps. Hahah! I remember comming back from kampung with all kinds of wierd skin diseases and rashes..KURAP! No wonder i never get sick nowadays, cause my immune system was tortured so badly when i was young.So now its like super strong and immune to all strains of microbes and pathogens.( which can be found in that pond...)

From an adorable baby, I grew up to be a rather annoying toddler. I had this bad habit of blowing candles during other peoples birthdays. I also threw frequent tantrums. Mum was more tolerant, but i remember dad keeping me in the storeroom when i went overboard.
The things they make kids do...

After kindy, i was sent to S.R.B St. Columba, where i stayed until primary 2. Mid year through 1996, dad was posted to London for 2 years, and so the family followed.
For the first few months, we were holed up in a hotel on Regent street, central London. Paradise for a 8year old. No school, no worries. But it got boring after a while. And i remember getting so sick of the hotel breakfast. Then once in a while we'd go school hunting, or house hunting.

And after months living in a pretty decent hotel, we moved to this place in north west london. 106 Golders Green. Golders Green had a largely jewish population,and this was my first encounter with them.To tell you the truth, I found them rather strange.Im talking about the really conservative ones...those tht wouldnt mix with you or absolutely refuse to do anything on the sabbath day.

All decked out for work! Me and Pat enrolled in Hendon Prepatory School for Boys and Girls, aka Hendon Prep. Nick went to Millhill School, and Dad worked at the main Shell headquaters in central London somewhere near Waterloo tube station i think.
Happy family: Winter 96. First encounter with snow, me and pat damn sakai. I was screaming like mad and had to be restrained by both of my kakaks. Imagine 2 helpers trying to bundle up this hyper kid in as much winter clothing as possible before releasing him outside like a rabbid dog.

We did our fair bit of travelling around europe and went to places like Amsterdam, Paris, etc etc. We also did plenty of travelling in the UK itself, going to places like Scotland, Manchester,Liverpool, and Blackpool.

I'll never forget the beautiful scenery in Ireland. It really does look like Hobbiton or Rivendell..Probably where JRR Tolkien got his ideas from.

Easily the happiest years of my life so far, but it was short lived. 1998, Dad was due to return to Malaysia. My fairy tale came to an end. I said goodbye to my friends in hendon prep, and we wouldnt make contact again right till 2008, when i found 4 of them on facebook.


Spot me and i'll give you 5 bucks.

So i was thrown right back into the malaysian public education system, which was in sharp contrast with the elite private school in which i was enrolled for 2 years . I was put in a class of 40, when in the UK there was only 10 of us to a class. The teachers here actually walked out on us whenever they were pissed, when this is unheard off over there. Some were also rather sadistic and peanut-brained.(and horny too!)

I felt rather out of place, and my BM was attrocious. I had hardly spoken the language in 2 years, and now whole lessons were conducted in BM. I was lost. I remember going for intensive BM tuition as well as plenty of story book reading to re-familiarize myself with the language.

Bahhh theres still lots to tell and im getting sleepy, so ill stop here for now. Will continue the other half tomorrow :D or after exam..

To whom it may concern.

I just wanted to let you now how much you inspire me.

To describe your strength and spirit in mere words is impossible. You truly are a woman of indespensible courage.You grew up in a broken family, your dad left. Your mother is sick, and you take care of all the younger ones. Your fragile family is plaqued with troubles, and yet you are calm. You consistently do well in school, you work hard.You have good intentions, yet they are misinterpreted. At the end of the day you are despised, misunderstood.

Thanks for sharing your feelings with me. Your story makes my life problems look like peanuts. Whatever storms you may encounter, i hope that you will face it with your typical enthusiasm and energy which you bring to class. Though i know ull never read this, i just wanted to say how grateful i am to have a friend like you.

I will not name names, because i dont think your story is ready to be told. I can't do much to help you, but I will always be more than willing to hear your story and offer what little advice i am capable of giving.

Never give up hope.

Stay strong!

P.s; its okay to cry in front of me, Theres no need to put up a strong front all the time. You've already done more than your fair share =)
