CSI isn't dying after all!

CSI isn't going to die afterall!

When news of two main actors got fired from the series, I was like "Ok, this season might be the last season or the beginning of the downfall of CSI." Apparently, the latest news proved me wrong. The two actors got rehired under "weird" circumtances. From what I see, (in my opinion actually), everything is just a publicity stunt.

CSI was under negative light when main actor William Peterson is said to leave somewhere around the next two season (including this one). As everyone might have know, William Peterson who plays Gil Grissom in the series is the main stay for CSI. Without him, and guess what will happen to CSI?

Anyway, now the hype is on this season of CSI. What will it be at the end of this season? That I really want to watch and see if this is the beginning of the end for CSI.

Personally, I hope this isn't the end for CSI yet. CSI is really a good series. I just don't want to see a good series die so fast. CSI is one of those series that managed to captive people around the world with all those forensic knowledge and criminal investigation skills.

So, as I am a huge CSI fan, I hope CSI will continue to be one of the best series on TV.

Malaysian Sport's Big Fat Greek Tragedy (IV)

Just to note. I am talking from a "person on the streets" point of view. I ain't no expert, although I can see for myself what "REALLY" is happening in schools, because both my parents are teachers. And no, I didn't ask my parents about the situation at school, I observe it for myself.

One fact remains. If the current Educational System continues. Come 2008, shades of Athens 2004 is going to come creeping back into the Malaysian contigent.

And the routine finger pointing cycle is going to start all over again.

Seriously, at least English Premier League is better to watch than the crap that is coming out from the Malaysian Sport's fraternity. (And I am someone that hate's Football).

Goes to show Malaysian Sport is probably already six feet under.

Malaysia Boleh? ...........errrrm.......

Really ah?

Malaysian Sport's Big Fat Greek Tragedy! (III)

This is the reason why Malaysian Sports can't get anywhere. Those people who thinks they know better just don't want to admit it that they have fail to instil "Sports" into student's at school levels. And now they are firing back, saying don't blame the schools. Ok, if the schools aren't the problem, what is?

Let take an inside look at the Malaysian Educational System at primary level. The students have to take exams just maybe about 2 months into the semester , and another exam another maybe about 2 months later, then it is the middle of the semester exams. After the mid-semester exams, maybe about 2 months later, there is another exam, then maybe a pre-end semester exam, before having the final semester exam. So, in total students have to prepare for about 6 exams per school semester. If a student is studying 5 subjects, he/she needs to take 6x5 = 30 exam papers (estimated) for the whole schooling semester. The Malaysian Educational System has 6 levels of Primary School: Standard 1 to Standard 6, and 7 levels of Secondary School : Form 1 to Upper Form 6. All in all, exams take up most of the time. Apart from the school exams, there is also the major exams. One at Standard 6, the second one at Form 3, and the third one in Form 5. And if a student choose to continue to Form 6, there is another major exams at the end of Upper Form 6.

Lots of exams right?

Nothing wrong with having exams right? Right.

But that's the problem. The Malaysian Educational System is too result and exam orientated. Students need to do well in exams. So, student would have extra classes, tuition, private tutoring...etc to get good grades at the 3 major exams.

Here is my experiences :
My mother is an english teacher. She also give tuitions. Since my mother likes to talk to her tuition student's parents, I got to heard several SHOCKING stories. Most of the parent's of my mother's tuition pupils go for MULTIPLE tuitions in one day. Some even tuition the same subjects at different tuition teachers.

"Oh my GOD" was my reaction. The whole damn Educational System has came down to "Get the results or rot!"

So, where is the Sports?
You tell me.....

Malaysian Sport's Big Fat Greek Tragedy! (II)

Sigh. Some people just don't get it. Or should I say just don't want to admit it. That WE, Malaysia SUCKS at Sports in an International level. Why?

Let me tell you why. I am going to play the "finger pointing" game, and I point it at the Malaysian Educational System. This is one "successful" but "FLAWED" system. Yes, it is sucessful. Successful in terms of producing "World Class" workaholics. Tell these people to do serious sports, and the first thing they want to know is if the sports can help them earn money?

GO FIGURE.

Come 2008 Beijing, and Malaysia is going to come home empty handed again. Mark my words. Malaysian Sport is going NO WHERE. IF and UNLESS the Malaysian Educational System is change to a more better system than the current one.

In another 10 years from now, Malaysian Sport will be nowhere if they continue to say that the Malaysian Educational System is NO.1 in the world.

The end of the Buffy Era

With the end on Angel season 5, it marks the end of the Buffy era. With that also start the beginning of nothing else to watch on TV anymore, with the exception of the CSI franchise. But recent news also see the beginning of the fall of CSI. What else can we expect from TV nowadays?

Charmed? Don't get me started about this. I have had enough of Charmed.

Ed? This bowling freak lawyer needs to get his priority straight.

CSI? With the possibility of two cast been fired, the lastest season might be the last. Or not.

CSI Miami? I am eagerly waiting for this one. As least there is nothing bad news about the cast.

CSI New York? If that pre-premiered episode via CSI Miami has anything to go by, this is a must watch CSI series.

Alias? I wonder Sydney is whose daughter. (Sue me, I didn't watch the ending of Season 3.) :P

Sitcom series(King of Queens, Yes Dear..etc)? I just don't get the joke in some of it sometimes. I rather watch those series with some serious storylines.

Anyway, I am currently into Hong Kong TV series. At least it gets my emotion pumping with their illogical sometimes emotional storyline. And sometime downright bad endings and makes me want to fly to Hong Kong and blow up TVB City. :)

Malaysian Sport's Big Fat Greek Tragedy!

I watched Athens 2004. I was watching other countries battling it out for Gold, Silver and Bronze. First up was Thailand with a Gold, then Indonesia, then Thailand again. Then it was some medals of other colours for Thailand and Indonesia.

Our ""Fallen"" COUGHheroesCOUGH one by one fell like dominoes in Badminton. Then came the 200M sprint. You did wonder if Nazmizan US training stint was going to make him a world beater. YEAH RIGHT. I saw that Heat he was in. He came in LAST. No where near the national record at all.

Then came the Diving. Ok, this one I have nothing much to complain, since Leong Mun Yee and Gracie Junita Terry Pego was up against Two Times World Champion Guo JingJing of China and up and coming star Wu MinXia of China and Pakhalina Yulia of Russia.

Then it was time to Taekwondo. And Elaine Teo too fall by "Losing via Superiority" to Guatemala's Carias Euda. It was a match that I was disappointed with Elaine. I agree with all the three judges and the referee of that match to award the win to Carias, because she was indeed the better fighter.

Then Josiah Ng came so close, yet so far in the Keirin competition. Probably not enough experiences on his part, but he was way better than the Badminton team.

The only True Malaysian Hero that I see in Athens is Byran Nickson Lomas. He was up against World Champion Alexandre Despatie of Canada and Defending Champion Tian Liang of China. That didn't bother him one bit as he powered himself to a respectable 19th position in the 10M Platform diving event.

However, the truth and fact remains. Malaysia simply is not Olympic Quality. Look at Iraq. Iraq is a country torn apart, and yet it's football team powered over Portugal. They went on to the Bronze medal match, losing to eventual winners Italy. Can you imagine Malaysian football team go that far? Yeah right. Try QUALIFYING for the Olympic first.

Some other minor countries that are worst off than Malaysia can win medals, why can't we win at least one? We have "World Class" stadiums and "World Class" Coach, but we can't win a damn thing???

The first reason I could think of is the Malaysian Educational System. It is too exam and result orientated. Let me tell you what happened to my friends during my schooling years. A few of my friends were active at sports. They even went on to represent the state. They were good sportmens and sportwomens, but then it was exam time, and everything went to hell. Then they got into university, sports is no longer on their list. All they care was getting that degree. After getting that degree, they are worried about getting a good job. Now the only sport they do is : English Premier League on TV and at the local Mamak eating place. So, that's how our Educational System was systematically killing sports at school level. And yet, no one wants to admit the Malaysian Educational System is FLAWED. No one. Most people that supported the system was saying that it is a successfull system. I agree. But at what price? Tell me! During my era, english was not so important. So, some of my friends just didn't care to improve on their english. Now, one of my friends who is a mechanical engineer is struggling in his job when it comes to english. He even asked me a few times to correct his english, but in the end, the correction were not corrected. He didn't understand what I have corrected. Suffice to say, his english SUCKS. Now, everyone is trying to learn english. They FINALLY notice that english is an important language. However, in my opinion. It is a little too late. Just like sports. Only now some people are waking up and seeing the truth. Too LATE PEOPLE. You all SHOULD HAVE WOKE UP 10 YEARS AGO.

Now the million dollar question would be : Can Malaysian Sport be save?
The answer is ...................

Where in the world is Kenny?
