#Opinion by Au Ka-lun 區家麟｜"Do not get used to the information black hole. When you see Carrie Lam hogging the TV channel as a show host trying to build up momentum for her re-election, or the media being full of new-age programs that only say “the Party is always right,” please keep a clear mind. Listen to those voices that have disappeared, observe what you no longer see, understand the tiny waves that have escaped the black hole, and remember the freedom that used to be there and think of the people whose voices have been stamped out."

"面對資訊黑洞，不要習慣。當你看見林鄭月娥開始佔領大氣電波做節目主持為自己連任造勢，當你看見媒體充斥黨國永遠是對的新時代節目，請保持心境澄明、洞若觀火，聆聽那些被消失的聲音，觀察你沒有看到的什麼，讀懂在黑洞中逃逸的微瀾；記住那些曾經的自由，想念那些遭滅聲的人們。"

So i had someone ask me why i posted this and i kinda felt obliged to myself to explain why ..

Of late it feels awesome to see the increase in numbers of people that decided to pick up a bike and start cycling. Specially during this time of CMCO its a common sight seeing groups of people cycling on the road.

Compared to when i started cycling 7,8 years ago where it was a pretty tight community and how excited i get when i see someone else on a bicycle. Today this common sight can be seen everywhere. But i will be honest that i still feel happy seeing all these road bikes, foldies, touring bikes etc on the road.

But i just feel many have forgotten or even not know some ethics or safety rules while cycling and its not just putting their lives and other road users life in danger but also giving many other cyclist a bad name.

For instance, you might think cycling into town in a big group is an awesome cool idea (well it is) but what’s not cool is hogging the whole lane and not cycling in a single file. I understand the adrenaline rush of speeding down the main roads in a big group in your tight branded cycling gear and your super expensive bikes, it does make your balls feel bigger. But imagine the other road users like the car drivers, motorists, bus drivers who are stuck behind your group. How do they feel ? They might be rushing for an important appointment and at the same time trying hard not to hit you. And when they accidentally or on purpose hit you. You cry road rage!!

Let’s not get me started about those cycling on major highways or not being on the motorcycle lanes on the highway.. seriously like seriously your not even suppose to be on them. Did you not look up basic safety rules before you jump on a bicycle?

Cyclist are starting to be considered an annoying bunch by many shop owners and residence. And honestly i dont blame these people for feeling annoyed.. during weekends many cyclist would get up pretty early in the morning and park their cars for 3,4 hours in free parking spaces around commercial centres and the curbs of residential areas. I know its free and happy your mother heart you want to park there. But those free parking spots are meant for the consumers who frequents the shops there when you take up those free spaces for hours and hours what happens to those shop owners running their businesses? Or how bout those residence that gets pretty annoyed with you filling up all the parking space around their residence. I see this often, i live in bukit Jelutong.

I wont go into all the other details like helmet, lights and bell.. which i myself at times am guilty for not having on my rides..

But where and what i am trying to get to is the fact that, when you dont adhere to the basic ethics of cycling and start annoying the other road users you paint a pretty bad name to many other cyclist. You see not everyone looks at cycling as a status symbol or a cool hobby like golf. Some people rely on their bicycles to get them from point to point. People commute to work on bicycles, people tour on bicycles and there are those who’s living depends on those 2 wheels. But by our selfish actions and drawing bad light to cycling, I fear the consequences of extra rulings, stringent laws or even the ban of my fav 2 wheels on the road.

By then it would be a tad too late to scream unjust.

So i really hope for those who are already cycling to refresh on your cycling road rules and ethics and for those who are new or just about to start to scroll up these road rules and digest them before planning your next ride.

There’s a Malay saying that goes “Nila setitik Rosak Susu sebelanga”.. dont just because of our selfish and arrogant act destroy this awesome thing that we all enjoy most, which is Cycling 🙂

So please .. Use Your BRainnnnnnnn!!

Hi Youtube Family,


Today’s Vlog:
Bickering Over Christmas,
Toddler Hogging Kisses
Holiday Blues,
Chilling With Tsang Family,
SLURPY SLURP!


This is officially going to be our last vlog of 2016. It's quite bittersweet as I type this. What an awesome year it’s been. 2016 was the year we moved into our dream house, visited the 2 schools we built together, toured Asia, raised more money to build 3 more schools, launched my signature eyeshadow palette and now in process of writing my own book. It’s been jam packed with opportunities and has probably been my busiest year yet. Couldn't have done it without you all by my side. Thank you for sticking by the Bubz family for yet another year.

I’m not proud to say I have been a bit of a grinch during the holidays. Unfortunately, I don’t handle well being around big crowds for long periods of time. I end up extremely emotional and I guess I “malfunction” by acting strange. It also meant that the littlest of things would get to me and guess who I took it all out on? Yep, poor Tim. Turns out being out of the house for the day was exactly what I needed to recharge. I took it as him kicking me out so I was mad at him at the time.

I stormed out and forgot to bring my keys and the day after, I was wondering how I return with dignity since I needed him to open the door for me. I realised I had been over dramatic. In the end, I swallowed my big fat pride and just apologised for my poor attitude over the holidays. He did too for retaliating. We realised the price of being right is too big to pay. Tim is happy to have his happy wife back. I’m disappointed at myself for being such a Debbie Downer over the holidays but I made sure to spend the remaining days of 2016 chirpy and grateful again.

We’re not doing much for New Years Eve. We're just going to be chilling at home as a family. We want to take this moment to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May 2017 be another year to walk in love, gratitude and kindness. Remember, a positive mind brings a positive life. Always be hopeful.

Love, the Bubz family xo
