安华以狂风扫落叶之势，高姿态在峇东埔补选中胜出。15671的多数票，很显然的，华语能力，并不是选民所要看的选项之一。
国阵以为打出华语牌，能够拉拢华裔选民的选票。国阵更以为，打出赛夫牌，能够让选民唾弃安华。但，成绩显示，国阵的算盘，不仅打错，而且还同时让安华得利。
这一次的挫折，有一点儿理所当然，或者更贴切地说，是预料中事。纵然如此，这一次，或多或少也会使阿都拉和纳吉的声望下跌。长远来看，这一次的败选对国阵来说，存在着一定的危机。
从这样的战绩来看，可以说的是，峇东埔的选民的政治智慧已经超越了语言能力和种族利益不同的鸿沟，从而遴选出一位，以目前来看，具备富国强民、创造国家美好将来的代议士。
虽说如此，安华916的计划，能否如愿达成，也还是个未知数。毕竟，现在的他，只是跨过了自己的区域的考验。回想当年安华当教育部长时的所作所为，全国的华裔选民对他或许还有所保留。
还有，身为公正党的领袖，凭着在308大选里获得最多国会议席的反对党，理应是顺利成章成为反对党的大哥。但，能否说服人民行动党和回教党，也是个必须顾虑到的问题。这将是反对阵线的一项重要指标。一个迈向成熟政治的里程碑。
此外，现在也应该是时候国阵成员党，认真思考未来的方向及定位。而身为国阵龙头的巫统，也要检讨目前的政治议程和政党理念是否还与时并进。从选票的流向，又可以看出什么？这是国阵败选后，必须立即给予解决方案的问题。
国家独立了51年，表面上的独立，又是否标示着政经文教各领域的独立呢？从奖学金的分配、玛拉工艺大学的名额、国立大学的遴选制度、经济蛋糕的份额、到政治的参与，我们可看出，原来一切仍然还有很大的进步空间。
2003年，当阿都拉受委任为首相，承诺了打击贪污与罪案，结果2004年的大选，国阵大胜。来到2008年的大选，却演变成308政治海啸。这一切，国阵成员党必须好好坐下来，谈一谈如何重获民心。
想一想，或许这次的政治变天，未必是件坏事。这不但能够促使真真的民主政治的诞生，而且也让我国的人民思维，有了成长的机会。

The Holidays
How I wish to have a nice and enjoyable holidays. Almost every time when holidays come, i make that statement, however, until the day when school reopens, i will say the same thing again-what a boring holiday!
This one-week holidays, I spent the first few days by going back to my hometown in Ipoh. Nothing special, but to visit my grandparents, and to satisfy my ever-hungry stomach. The place is like before, no significant changes. Only my grandparents are getting older and weaker. Time flies. Time waits for no man. "Wooh!!"-I exclaimed and sighed-and began to picture how are my parents and myself going to be in the next decades.
Plus, I went to MABECS. A Malaysia-British Educational Agent. Only now I got to know about UCAS. Only now I got to know that studying in UK is no more a dream. There was once I got very dejected and extremely down. Nevertheless, with luck and efforts, once again, I dare to say that my dream of setting my feet on the land of Europe might well become true. After one year of studies and knowing more friends, I have grown up and changed my mindset. I am a totally different person by now.
Besides, I have got my computer problem settled. And, u guys, whoever is reading this piece of article, trust me, get a DELL computer if u ever want to get a new laptop. First, the quality is proven to be state-of-the-art. Second, the design is sophisicated. Thirdly, and this is the most important point has to be remembered-the technical support and service provided by DELL is just good-thumbs up!
The remaining days, I spent it in the usual way-sleep, eat and play. Nothing much to be discussed. I supposed, most of my classmates did the three things in a row as well. XD

2008 年北京奥运会
看了昨晚第二十九届奥运会的开幕礼，突然，内心抽了一抽，眼睛也酸了一酸。中华民族百年奥运梦终于在走过风风雨雨后，在绚彩夺目的烟花下，实现了。
心情久久无法平复。并不是因为北京奥运会开幕典礼搞得如此成功，而是当我回看，看着中国如何在七年内完成如此浩大的“鸟巢”，看着中国如何顶着世界，尤其是西方国家的鄙视和压力，看着中国如何因藏独事件，惹来抵制北京奥运会的危机，而慢慢，一步步走向昨晚的开幕典礼。油然间，感觉得到中华民族那不屈不饶的精神，并没有因困难而低头，反而还因此，向世界证明了北京申办奥运的实力。
中华民族五千年的文化精粹、人文修养、琴棋书画，都在张艺谋的巧妙安排之下，浓缩成一场艺术盛会，来呈现给老外。唐宋元明清的礼乐之邦，统统以最完美的方式，以最创意的形式，让世界了解到中国文化最美好的地方。
最为人津津乐道的是，当体操金牌得主-李宁手上拿着一把火炬，被钢线吊着，然后绕着体育场绕跑一圈，而后就点燃起大火炬的奥运圣火。这，象征着中国，一路走来，跌跌撞撞，终于能够点燃心中那股澎湃。

Malaysian Student Leaders Summit 2008
It has been a week since i came back from this event. Although it was tiring, but it was really enjoyable and fun.
I have never expected that such grand event could really be held in such a successful way. Over 700 Malaysian students, either studying in overseas or in local, gathered together to discuss about the key problems which we are facing right now.
This is really a rewarding experience, by getting to know that there are actually so many scholars out there, regardless of races, age, and languages, are willing to bring up the "unspeakable" issues in Malaysia, such as Social Contract, Civil Service, Education and Judiciary System.
Plus, I got the chance to know so many scholars, be it JPA, Telekom, Bank Negara, Yayasan UEM, Petronas or even self-funded(FAMA)-'father mother' scholarship, from diversifying fields, namely, Economics, Political Studies, Dentistry, Engineering, Law, Social Science, Doctor and so on. I personally feel honoured and interesting to talk to them, as most of them are older than me, and have been to overseas for years. It's really different if u can go to study abroad. The perspectives u have will surely be different and varied from countries to countries.
After meeting them in this summit, I felt that nothing is impossible. I mean, I have actually met a guy who has failed to secured a JPA scholarship, and he worked hard for his STPM, and finally he made it! He has been offered a scholarship to study in University of Manchester, UK for accounting and finance. And some of them who didnt get any scholarship, still they managed to make a name for themselves by working hard. (UK, wait for me, i will be there!!)
To sign off, i hope that the annual MSLS will be held again!! See u guys in a year time. May all of u good luck in your future undertakings!
