Weekender!

A very comfortable weekender instead! Been a long time since I have so much time to watch 2 movies in a day at Sunway Pyramid. I watched Long Khong 2 and Someone Behind You today, and both are ghost/horror movies.

And there is a charity drive in Sunway too. But I just couldn't dare myself to sit there and get my hair cut by those trainees in A Cut Above Academy. No one can mess up my hair.

Then I walked into Popular, and gosh, bought a book for RM17. It is "GuanXi: The Art of Relationships".

Bandar Mahkota and blocks

Funny things do happen in Malaysia. First I read about a home where all the clothes washed will start to worn and tear within days and the family have to spend to buy new clothes every two to three months. Then I read about this news about Grand Saga putting up concrete blocks to block off a road in Bandar Mahkota, and a bloody fight between some hooligans (I wonder where they come from) and the residents who tried to take away the blocks.

I would like to be a resident there as I can foresee a legal case to be filed against the company, the present government and the perbandaran. If the residents win, they get compensation. Oooo....money does matter to me much nowadays.

And really funny things do happen in Malaysia.

And oh, they are no longer subsidying RapidKL, and I wonder why there is a subsidy at first place. It should be a healthy competition between all bus companies. Eventually I thought there is a company who one to try out being a low-cost bus transportation company, but at the end, nah....subsidy.

Why I Hate Politics

Why I hate politics?

I have been asked by some people to join political parties and make myself loyal to certain group of people, so that I can so-called share my ideas. But till now, I am almost certain I will never join any political parties, and now I am very certain. No matter it is BN or PR, I don't think I will want to join any one of them. I rather stay free as an observer and share my critics here in my blog and with my friends, and make myself a good citizen. hmmm....maybe not that good.

The recent disputes, between the government and the opposition, or within parties (ahhem...like UMNO) shuold give us, the good Malaysians, a clear picture who our group of MPs is and how ugly politics can be.

Instead of moving Malaysia forward, all of them (and I mean all of them) have destabilize our country. The biggest contributor, of course, would be the internal UMNO conflicts (or has it become external as our beloved Tun Dr. Mahathir quitted?). Being the so-called representative of the major ethnic group, and a party who has leads us all to development for the past 50 years, the leadership has now been questioned, by all ethnic groups including the Malays. Please do not give the reason that the Chinese and Indian have become more demanding. They have always been demanding since many many years ago, and even during Tun Mahathir's period as Prime Minister, they have demanded a lot of things, but why they have become more and more demanding now? SImple reason: Tun Mahathir is one a great leader who has in his way, brought us development and good life. Penang Bridge, Proton, KLCC, Sepang circuit, has all opened up a new dimension to Malaysia.

UMNO has weakened as their internal conflicts have become a little uncontrolable. The dispute published in all media has not been favourable to the political stability in Malaysia. And we all know that if this continues, there goes our economy and foreign investments.

And the Opposition is not doing much either.

Their agenda is to form the federal government. But the strategy they are using is not helping Malaysia now either. Keeping mum on certain issues and then stick a knife into certain issues are not the way to help Malaysia poltical scene. If they are clever, come up with solutions now, and the Malaysians will vote for them.

But now, where is the promise to bring down the price of necessity? Where are the development promised in the five states?

At the end, I find that politics is too dirty for a small young Malaysian like me. It is sickening to see these great actors and actresses who can get nominated for Oscar for their real life acting skill.

Come on. Everyone remembers the crying scene when Tun Mahathir announced his retirement. And now, they growled, gnawed and munched on Tun's statements.

As I have replied in Tun's blog, we don't care now what has happened in the past, as Tun has bring us far more stability and development.

What we care now is petrol price is shooting skyhigh, and even rice has keep all Malaysians pocket dry.

Tell me BN and PR: WHAT ARE YOU ALL GOING TO DO TO AMEND ALL THESE?

**VOMIT**

Holiday....erm....now back to work.

Wesak Day is a holiday. And a busy day.

So, I spent a few hours moongate-ing online; something that I have done for the past 10 years. Moongate or now called Materia Magica is a online text-based game, and a very famous one too. It has developed for the past 10 years and being a true believer, I am still playing the game.

Visara is my most powerful character so far, only at level 120; halfway of being a Archon. She is a fey; a creature from another plane that feeds on blood. Fey is a faerie and the biggest enemy to the sidhe; another faerie tribe in the Faerie Plane. Visara is now a valkyrie. Standing at 954hp, she is one ultimate fighter as she is capable of leeching the opponent and attack with four hits at one time.

And yesterday, she finally hit level 120, and she will camp at this level doing quests to gain more practices and quest points. I will have to work hard to bring my other characters to level 60 so I can send them to search for tourms for Visara.

Happy Teacher's Day

16 May, a day for all teachers.

My salutation and respect to all teachers around the world; for their dedication and sacrifice for tomorrow's leaders.

Joke of Da Day

Someone told me yesterday that I am 23 year-old.

Nature's Wrath

It is a tragedy!

First the cyclone in Myanmar, and now the earthquake in China. In the period of two weeks, two tragedies had happened and left thousands of people stranded homeless, lost their beloved family members, their belongings and assets, and most of all, love!

My prayers to all the victims of these tragedies and may these horrible experience will not occur again to haunt mankind.

Love our mother nature! Stop her anger!

Heritage vs Trend vs Changes

It caught my attention when I was flipping through the newspaper while I ate my bowl of spicy curry mee today morning. "We stand by our laws" - Many of our laws inherited from colonial days (The Star, page N23, 14 May 2008). And at the bottom of this news, on the same page, "Suhakam to focus on civil political rights".

Since 1957, 51 years ago, Malaysia gained a victory to end the British colonial, and all our forefathers and parents were shouting Merdeka that shook the then Malaya. 16 September 1963, our beautiful country was given a name "Malaysia"; a name that we all Malaysian are proud of till today. We inherit this spirit of Malaysia, and I believe all of us, in some way or another, are doing our best to be united under Jalur Gemilang, as we are all against violence, and we all love peace.

While we inherit this Malaysia spirit, we witnessed the change in our country; mindset, development, human rights, elections, laws and regulations etc. Believe it or not, most of the changes are trend-set, whether we are influenced by the globalization wave or to cope with the current trend in the mega environment. And it is impossible for a country to not to develop and change its policies; in Malaysia context, 50 plus years ago. and 50 plus years later.

The Malaysians have changed, and so it speaks in the 2008 election.

What caught my attention is the fact that reading this article, I have no choice but to remain surprised, by looking at the fact that our beautiful country has developed so much, with skyscrapers and LRT and world-class highways, but never have it been changes and development in term of mindset and willingness to change (or maybe only applicable to certain group of people).

The Malaysians have changed, and so are the expectations, and so it speaks in the 2008 election.

Or maybe, it will be simpler to say:

Malaysians WANT CHANGES.

Kiasi Malaysian (Intro)

God has blessed a simple human like me to be able to write, but then HE also gives me something I may or may not like: a BLOG!

Being an ordinary and simple Malaysian, I would dare or may not be dare enough (cyber police anyone) to share my thoughts on whatever-lah...kay-poh like me, we talk about everything.

How should I start?

Hot topic of da year: post-election - where Malaysia heading?

Wait...can I talk on this issue? **stress**

2008 general election creates a history as the opposition took 5 states, and people have voted and spoke their mind. Multiple issues have made kiasi people like me also dare to speak our thoughts. And I am not goinginto these issues. Old story-liao. Let us fast forward to hot news (berita terkini). PARLIAMENT SESSION!

Live telecast of the first parliament session was a joke, and even our young boys and girls in high school agreed. We finally see for ourselves for the first time, the mysteriously and legendary "big foot" and a huge "big monkey" that is a MP, and a party bigshot. Come on! We Malaysian can do better than this. We don't pay income tax to run kindergarten in the Parliament. Okay, okay. Let's get back to reality!

Malaysians had vote for a change, and we want to see changes in a lot of things. Politics, economics, Bangsa Malaysia, equality, public services, transportation, low inflation etc. So far, we saw a little moving on, but we got an even bigger dose about backstabbing, calling for this to step down, and another to "stand up". How about the very uncivilized, uneducated, no-brain remark about our disabled people? Come on. We Malaysian don't need such inconsiderate leader. Kick him out! And good still, he made a follow-up remark on this issue. God bless!

But truly, where are we heading? The opposition (whom is not opposition in five states) has started on the right foot, but one thing they need to show now, apart from the transparency and humble attitude, is how they are going to work on a common ground, and how all the party leaders can work together and not displaying a certain figure whom speaks out as though he is the best leader Malaysian should have.

We Malaysian love peace and harmony. That's why I am kiasi.
