Harsh Message -
Most of us have this attitude -
I come, I see, I leave...
Don't give a damn.
Or, I don't think I have the standard to say anything,
Or, Sorry... I am busy. (hey dudes, does it mean whoever who posted their opinions here have been free or jobless? I know some of us are busy, ME TOO, but I strongly believe MOST of us don't feel like saying anything)
And it's always "true" that people like to say "I don't say shit doesn't mean I don't care."
Anyway, great to see some little enthusiasm from some of us in the past 2 weeks... BUT
Without reason, this forum cools down again.
We always have brief period of enthusiasm.
I am SURE there will be some people feel pissed after I say this.
But sorry, this is really what I feel everytime I talk to Malaysians. and we are discussing some bad attitudes that we are actually carrying out.

My reply to Chan's message -
1st thanks to chan for the reply. I was expecting your feedback.
Sorry for being rude, and I definitely apprehend the consequence of sending the last posting - Creating a huge pressure and tention among members. I always make sure I don't criticize people but the sin, and I am sorry if I did it, unconsciously.
I hope you understand my intention of sending a sincere caution to all of us. Maybe not in a right way, but your reply well corrected me and set a good direction in this forum.
Seniors are not perfect, I am not perfect for sure. I am still learning and still screwed up sometimes. There are much more room to improve, not limited to music, but also in my self cultivation, career direction, and even my language and communication techniques, etc...
"I have written the message, but did not have the courage to press the send button" - I wrote the last posting, clicked send... deleted it after a while. and decided to rewrite and posted my thought after I realized I couldn't concentrate on my work. I open up myself. Do all of you?
I am using bad english all the time. So, please don't hesitate to express because of your language ability. In fact, it should be a good chance to write your best english here, as well as start networking, learn to sneak into an on-going discussion, get yourself started.
I am always proud of the achievement of our music department. I think UPM music department is STILL one of the best school in Malaysia, because of the involvement of Chan, and ALL other lecturers. I totally understand how hard the situation has been these few years especially after Chee Meng's batch. But I still encourage my friends to go to UPM, but with a promise to me of more hard work and serious concentration especially when having classes with our lecturers. I respect all our juniors who are still in UPM. I heard good comments from LAM and Arrif. I think you all (students) are the reason these good lecturers remain in this fading department. They can go somewhere else for better compensation.... whatever nice words, I sincerely thank to all our lecturers. I think you are tremendously notable perople. And you all are definitely a good mirror to all musicians in overseas, and encourage us to return to our country to contribute whatever we can. I believe Chee Meng, Chern Hwei, especially whoever who still keep in touch with UPM lecturers have the same thought.
Don't feel shy... all of us were at the same beginning. How well we are in future, we still ought to go through all emberrassing learning proccess. Older people definitely don't laugh or look down at juniors. all of us were scolded hard by lecturers before. I am a famous example! Friends still laugh at me how I got scolded in past. In short, if you step back because you are shy (that applies to whatever personal emotion that stops you from expressing yourself)... then you must learn to open up yourself no matter what. Don't wait until it's too late, and difficult to change yourself especially when you have to find a job or pursue a career in this crazy world.
Thanks Hui Sin for your active involvement. It's very encouraging. Still looking for more new juniors and please invite more members. And please don't limit this forum to UPM people and department topic. I think we shouldn't always address ourselves as UPM people (Although I always did), becuase it might stop other people step into this forum.
FYI, I will not be as active as in the past for coming 2 weeks because of my work. But I am keeping track on this forum, and never lost track. If I can't "tahan", I will post a short buzz
:D
