Do It, Not Because Of Desperation But Because Of Aspiration.

When I was done with an assignment given by the lecturer, many of my course mates who I have never spoke to me before and even smiled at me, they came to 'know' who I was and they became friendly to me. Obviously, I know what they wanted and yeah, why not, they want to look at what I’ve done, take it! This is not something I write to brag about myself because I do that too! Haha.

Anyway, that is an analogy which I could think of when I was writing this post. What does that analogy shows? Lecturer doesn’t give a proper instruction when giving assignments? Yeah, I think they usually don’t! They would just say a brief explanation about it and wala! “Submit to my office by ….”.

I would like to say a little on the friendliness of Malaysian. For us, Malaysian, it is obvious enough that people of one race usually mix around together. That is what you people out there know. 1 month ago, I got an opinion from a foreigner, a Sudanese, when I asked him “what do you think about Malaysian”, he said “I have been 3 years together with them in the same course but some still don’t know my name.” Sam, the Sudanese added that “I notice that the people from Sabah and Sarawak and the non-Malays are friendlier”. That is just one opinion from a foreigner. Many said almost the same thing too.

To a certain extend I do think he’s right but I think Malays are friendly especially the kampong Malays, some developed areas Malays, like in Kuala Lumpur and some low-educated Malays, surprisingly, are friendlier that the smart ones. Based on the analogy which is a true story, when in times of desperation, only then will they start talking.

Last Christmas, my uncle who is an Australian, visited Malaysia. It was so easy for him to make friends and he smiled to everyone who comes into an eye-contact with him, not in the malls, but everywhere else. I was thinking, if he stays here a little longer, many people would know him.

I think it’s time for us to change for the better, not for the politician fake speeches on unity just to show that they aren’t racist, but it is good for us to be friendly. We can start by smiling at our acquaintances. For those who still think it would be awkward, smile at the kids around you, that don’t make you a pedophile kay!(Pedophile means in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual preference for prepubescent children). That will not only make you a friendly person, but the kids will do the same to adults too.

You have just been betched at!

The world is in such great turmoil now, I really have no clue what's gonna happen next. You notice how people just decide to only act after certain happenings? It's so strange for me as I (and a whole lot of other people) perceive they don't learn from the past. I think it is our ego and our uber strength to voice out their self-opinionated views without any regard whatsoever to people's feelings. Yeah the common defender of such attitude would say this, "Why the hell should I care? It's only my opinion... I have the right, don't I? So why are you making such a fuss?"

Well, there's a difference between an opinion and a rude remark. A lot of people dunno that. That's another reason why countries are constantly at war with one another from every aspect. A GREAT example would be from your very own CNN. The debaters there are ALWAYS interrupting each other! How do you expect a message to ever get across from one nation to the other when the recipient keeps going "But you see...(grandmother politics story)", "You should understand... (a self-righteous financial explanation)"..... The list goes on. The only conclusion I can ever draw on such CNN international debates in a Malaysian way is this: noo mehners wan ar tis people?

Alright, so about the jizz....

This evening, around after dinner, I was walking home to my well-maintained jailhouse (HELP Residence) when I suddenly ran into a couple fighting. LOL. You guys, that was probably one of the most memorable awkward moments of my life. I spotted them from a distance already and I thought I could just walk past without interrupting. The problem was that they kept shoving and pushing and shoving and moving, to the point that they were obstructing my way back. There I was turning at every corner trying to get past them but they kept on fighting oblivious to the fact that people could be staring. Plus, the exchange of heated words sounded so scripted, I started looking around to see if there could be a director with his camera, shooting an episode for his melodrama TV series on Astro Ria, from a corner with his crew. In the end, I had to walk to the other side, making my journey longer. Idiot couple. Please take the drama home. Malaysia has enough drama already. Your drama is not needed. So tolonglah.

I know this may be a little offensive, but I thought if I cause a verbal war no matter how I address the issue, I thought "GO BIG". I'm sure there are some readers here who smoke, right? But actually ar, can you give me a valid reason as to WHY you guys smoke? Aside from the common "it's cool", "i like it", "my friends are doing it" and "HAH CAN GET CANCER WAN AR?" response, anything else? Something that could justify the act, maybe? I really don't understand, so please enlighten me. Do you guys feel rebellious for doing so? Because if you do, I hate to break this to you, but your body is gonna rebel against you too. Not only that, after that, got face problem also. Stress la... no meh?

I'm not campaigning against smokers or smoking by the way because the government might come and tembak me for bashing their most profitable product. I'm just looking for a super convincing reason why. Just give me your answers in the comment box.

I must now return to my reality of composure and propriety. It has been a good post of betchation. To any international reader who might not understand the Malaysian slang here, I'm so sorry but that's just how I roll. It's one of the few Malaysian things I can be certain and proud of. :)

God bless, everyone ;D

Changes you don't see in Malaysia

Gays and bisexual….. what do they mean? Haha, I guess almost everyone knows the meaning and if you don’t, look them up in the dictionary.

About a month ago, it was my semesters break, as usual, being a person who enjoys accompanying people to the malls and shopping complexes, I was at many places in one day. While letting the person browsing and comparing prices of the desired products, I went to a bookstore to check out some magazines.

Before heading to that department, I noticed there was I Malay guy who was looking at me!!(please bear in mind, I don't discriminate any races or groups, just the truth of what happened). Okay nothing wrong with that but it became a little scary when he started following me from one shop to another!! Hmm…… I was wondering “what was he up to” ……….. I know that he was either gay or bisexual but I didn’t bother.

After reading the “Top Gear” magazines, I head to a game shop to check out some new games and then, all of the sudden, he did the annoying whistle that guys often do to gals, not the “wheew weet” but the one where you have to inhale the air to produce the sound. Haha, if you don’t get it, just think that he called me.

I stopped walking, then I asked him “Ya, bang, ada apa-apa ke?”……. He replied “takde apa-apa, Cuma nak tanya, awak boleh jadi………. Bla bla (not important)”. He was actually asking me to be his model…….haha……..I just said that I can’t help him because I had a lot of work. Haha, I was thinking to myself that he must have an ‘udang di sebalik stone’ and yeah, it is true, he was a bisexual! I was right!

Since I have just made my facebook profile public, because of too many acquaintances requests, I had no choice but to just add everyone. He started mesagging me in facebook and very often I would just ignore because I know what do he wants!!!! Haha.

Many more of those things happened to me but that’s it for now. Moving on to my observation and analysis (haha, sounds serious huh), the number of Malays and Chinese guys who are turning gay (I am talking about Malaysia so no whites here) are increasing very rapidly and they are becoming more bold in asking guys!! They would just come up to you or message you in facebook and then after some crap conversation, they would pop-out the question! Not only that, many gays and bisex are now open, meaning they are not ashamed that they are gays and wouldn’t mind of others know about their orientation.

To conclude my post, Malaysia has changed a lot but on the surface but we would not see it. Some of the things are Social, Judiciary, Politics (of course) and many more that we would not see on the TV. Fortunately, Malaysians are now, smart enough to analyze what’s happening in our country ;)

Waves of Friendship

Hey guys!!! Happy Chinese New Year to all of you who are celebrating it!! to the others happy holidays!! This CNY was so amazing... There were a lot of activities lined up and i was so busy for the past week... busy enjoying...hahaha.... well the body is very tired but the spirit is excited... i hope u guys had a great new year as well!!!

This time i'm gonna share about FRIENDSHIP... i'm sure most of us have friends... well to me friendship is a blessing that no money can buy.. i LOVE my friends and i appreciate you guys very very much... friends can be such a shoulder that u can lean on when u face difficulties... I have friends who have helped me face some of the saddest times in my life and i have friends who have gone through thick and thin with me... well i hope that we still can and hopefully become better friends...

Throughout my years of developing friendship i find that there are certain crucial things that we miss out during the process of building friendship... the first thing is transparency... sometimes we tend to put on a mask when we build friendship... i sometimes do that as well especially when the person is new to me... the dangerous thing about this is that sometimes it hides us real well and when the relationship gets better we tend to get more exposed... i have many many many flaws in life (i'm sure some of my friends can testify to that).. there are times that when my friendship gets better, ppl tend to notice and know the true me.. well i have to say that some can accept me and some cant..(we cant live to satisfy everybody)... as the friendship builds up i become more and more transparent and i have learned that being yourself is important when it comes to a good friendship... we also have to learn how to accept each other for his/her flaws for nobody in this world is perfect...

The second thing is that friendship requires SACRIFICE.. the word sacrifice here can be in the form of time, effort and $$$$...hahha... I dunno about you but i think i invest quite a lot on friendship... not that i have all the money and time in the world but i MADE time for it...i find it very important that we make time to fellowship with one another so that the friendship can grow to become stronger... it can be a movie, bowling, or just a simple mamak session... anything that u do together will be good") at times its a bit hard to put in some effort but nevertheless we should give it a shot...haha...

Here is some friendship moments.....

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm;but how can one person alone keep warm. And if somebody overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken"

I hope u guys can indeed build great friendship with your friends for it is a blessing to have friends!!!

Contradicting Traffic Lights

This picture was taken at the store in Seremban.



The lights were different when I was waiting to turn left...... One was green and the other was red!! Many drivers may not notice the difference in both of the traffic lights as you can see that the nearer traffic light was showing red but actually, it suppose to be green. Drivers would just wait and wait till they realized that they should move!!

Catastrophe in my EYES!!

Hey guys!!! Good to be able to blog again!! haha... I've been rather busy with uni... but i've just finished my first test so yeah!!! it feels great and now i'm free! (for now)...
Straight to the topic... well actually yesterday i went out with some church friends to watch legion... the movie was ok only la nothing to brag about..so yea...not so much of the movie...it was what happened before the movie... as usual i went there early to get the tics and so i just stood there and waited for my friends...and guess what?!?!!?! i saw some teenagers there just on the floor doing some street dancing... they were kinda good tho... they were just there with some radio and a whole group of them i would say 15 of them? to be honest, i dont think that would be a very good thing to do... i mean come on... its a public area and u guys are street dancing why??lack of attention ah?? i dont mean to judge them la but that was my first impression...so i would say that they should find a more suitable place to dance...and they are quite good") well...awesomeness....
The scenario also happened in SINGAPORE!!!!!!! when i was there, i went to visit the all famous auditorium there (that looked like 2 durians) i dunno its name... guess what?? there were teenagers at the parking lobby, dancing, skateboarding, alcohol, and etc.... i was like WTH!!!!! how can it be man...i mean in singapore?? but i dunno i guess they are humans too..hehe... but m'sia is slowly picking up the "trend".. i dont think i will agree to this kinda thing la do u>>>????
Besides the street dancing, recently there was a temple that was build near my house.. ever since, there was no eternal PEACE!!! My goodness!!! every now and then they will have some singing competition, firecrackes burning sessions, lion dances, operas, and all sorts la,,... goodness and they blast the speakers like the ppl there are deaf... sometimes i get so annoyed by these uncles who cant sing but dare to go up on the stage to sing... somebody has to knock some sence into their head la... and so yea... even right now they are having something..haiz... but at least i'm better than a friend who stays near the funeral pallor!! hahahha.... he gets funeral songs every night since young.. what a lullaby??hahahaa......
Signing Off.....
