Are we safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



As being a developing country, Malaysia had opened its door to the foreign student to persuade their study. Malaysia, with its diverse population, moderate climate and friendly people has created a better place to get education. Providing state-of-art facilities for them there are certain areas in which the government is disappointing them.
There have been many cases where student are facing problems with colleges and universities, where these institutions appoint different agents who have been providing false information and in reality the whole thing turns upside down when the student arrival here .In other hand, the institute seems to be irresponsible toward this kind of thing they only look for the money and no of students to enroll. Not only colleges the country security service personal is also no cooperating with foreigner student and treating according to their nationality. Some time they even denied accept the student card issued by immigration office of Malaysia and there have been many incidents where the local police are trapping this foreign student as to get money. up to these thing you are safe but the worst thing is from the robbers and the snatchers, everyday we can read in many newspaper of robbery and snatching case where they don’t even take money and other items but the person are beaten up badly and even to the death.
There are many other problems in which the government has to look as to assure these foreign student to feel them safe and comfortable living in Malaysia.

Finding my voice...



If I could, I'd take you each by hand and lead you into a quiet clearing under a ceiling of tree branches so we could talk. There are a lot of things I want to say, but I find it hard to say them lately. I feel secretive and silent and a little bit scared lately.
I tell myself that it's okay, that I don't owe you anything that I am allowed to keep as much as I want to myself. But the truth is I want to be loud and brave as I've been in the past. Some days, I'm bursting to tell stories about my adventures and relationships and plans and changes. I just don't know where to begin, so I never do. Soon, too much time has passed, and it's a closed chapter in a book.
The real stories, I know, are those filled with ache and beauty and truth. Those are the ones I like to hear. Those are the ones I want to tell. I just need the courage to tell them.
I am trying to find my voice again. I suspect that wherever it is, I'll find my hope and faith there, too.

Always the same


Is it me or do all fireworks displays look the same? I was watching the opening of the Asian Games in Qatar and listened to the commentators ooh and aah over the fireworks on show at the end. Sure, they look great lighting up the dark sky. My point is, it's been that way as long as I can remember. Doesn't it get old at some point? Can't the fireworks people come up with something new - maybe something that doesn't leave a cloud of black smoke behind. What are all the scientists doing? We definitely need some innovations in this area.
