iBilik - Malaysia's Room To Let Website
Anyway, the only thing that you need to know about this website is that it is purely awesome! I’ve been using that website for some time now to look for rooms for my friends. It is very convenient for room seekers to search for rooms that they are interested as we can type in the precise area that we are interested in.
Well, as you can see from their Home page, there is a column for you to type in your search and below that column there is 2 options for you to choose from; rooms for rent or short-term rentals. Bear in mind that short term rentals does not mean a few months, but a few days! I think this is kind of cool for those who maybe come to town for a short-term visit and don’t want to stay in a hotel. Sometimes is not easy to find a hotel near to your relative’s house that might be located in off town area, so maybe if you’re in luck, you can find a house to rent just for that few days! I feel that this is a superb option for backpackers too! To experience a staying experience that is different from all kinds of hotels and is pretty cheap too! A way to cut budget too!
I think most of us when dealing stuff online, buying something or even renting a room, we would like to have a glimpse of what we about to get. So room providers, upload your room photo please~~~~ But as far as I’m concern, most of the room providers of iBilik do uploads their picture. But some of them are kind of weird. They upload the picture of the apartment building instead of a picture of the room. I wonder why… maybe they have something to hide??? Just joking~ XD
Anyway, if you are desperately looking for a room, or you have rooms to let, I could say iBilik.com is a pretty good choice for you. They are making a super duper good impression for both seekers and providers! Just see how hard they advertise themselves to get well known!!

ANTI anti-discrimination
Coptic churches are threatening to pull their children from Toronto’s Catholic schools if the board goes ahead with its equity policy which includes anti-homophobia measures.
Representers of the church even state that they will build their own church if they have to and they could afford it because they are a very wealthy church.
“In these young grades, we don’t want teachers talking about God creating Adam and Steve. Is Adam and Eve!”
“As Christ said, everyone is welcome to sit at my father’s table. So we don’t discriminate, we just don’t believe in homosexuality.” -- Jeremiah Attaalla, priest at Ti agia maria and St Demiana Coptic Orthodox church.
When I read the last statement above, I broke in to laughter. How can someone make such a contradict statement?! We don’t discriminate, we just don’t believe it? Is like saying I don’t hate you I just don’t like you. Does it make any sense? Well, to me it doesn’t. And the fact that he said they don’t discriminate make me want to laugh even louder! He is basically slapping his own statement!
Churches are THREATENING the schools to pull their kids out just because equity policy includes anti-homophobia measures. They would even go through all kinds of troubles to build a school just to make sure their kids are “Protected”?!! WOW! What a way of showing they DON’T discriminate.
The school equity policy is to stop kids from DISCRIMINATING homosexual kids, stop bullying them, stop making fun of them, and stop HOMOPHOBIA because all of us are equal. But the church’s act of pulling their kids from school just because of this policy shows me nothing but discrimination.
How could they say they are not discriminating?!
The policy is an ANTI-DISCRIMINATION of homosexuals. So, going against this policy makes it what? ANTI anti-discrimination?? Well, all of us know “negative x negative = positive” , so they ARE discriminating!!!
Is sad for me to see Christians discriminate people and yet they say they don’t!
Walk the walk!!! Don’t just talk the talk!

California say YES to LGBT inclusive Education!
California is going to include LGBT people’s contribution into their school lesson plan. This Fair, Accurate, Inclusive and Respectful Education Act (FAIR Education Act) were introduced by a gay state senator, Mark Leno. It is considered a way to combat the “custom” of bullying students who are gay or perceived to be. Aside from ensuring the contribution of gays and gays rights are included in textbooks, the legislation add sexual orientation to the state’s existing anti-discrimination protections that prohibit bias in school activities, instruction and instructional materials.
“Denying LGBT people their rightful place in history gives our young people an inaccurate and incomplete view of world around them.” – Leno, a San Francisco Democrat.
The above are a simple summary I write after reading a few articles about this news – California including LGBT elements in teaching materials. I have to say that I’m pretty happy when I know and read about this. The fact that people are starting to recognize the existent of LGBT people and their contribution to the society is HUGE news! I think is good to exposed students to the existent of LGBT people at an early stage. NOT to PROMOTE LGBT, but to EDUCATE them to accept other’s difference.
Although this FAIR Education Act is proposed by a gay senator (well, his gay, of course he will support this!), but this act passes through the state assembly with 49-25 votes! Is about 66%! (ya! I did the math!!!). It reflects that the society has begun to accept LGBT people as who they are. Well,the 66% might not imply to all, but to me it is a baby step to a greater purpose!
No one can deny that LGBT people were bullied, discriminated and depressed for who they are. I think that the mindset of the society play a huge role in this picture. It is because we were taught that whatever differ from heterosexuality is wrong which make us believed that LGBT people are weird, weak and unnatural. From there, discrimination upon LGBT people begins.
I always feel that the reaction of the society towards LGBT people push them towards a corner where they could not find themselves! They are ashamed and depressed, they hide themselves from telling the truth and some go to the extreme and kill themselves. That’s why I think it is very important for the society to learn and accept LGBT people for who they are. Because when you think about it, they are not really that different from anyone else in the world. They just fell for the person in the same sex. Just like some of us like apple, and some of us like orange.
