What Surprise News Released...

Today I've finally took an initiative to look at the headlines in TheStar and found that the political arena arise some issues about our former prime minister and current. It's quite absurd to find that our former PM is so "free" to mess things up in the political arena although he has resigned from his administrative post. Then, I further read about an article on Malaysia Today regarding DrM's resignation and the dilemma that his "supposed" plan to hand his position to Najib and denied to hand it to Abdullah. It then stated that Abdullah simply is not capable of fulfilling his daily duties, yet the dilemma is how did he get there anyway? Not to mention, the article further states about several candidates like Anwar who was so capable of taking over the position and yet later on forced to step down for whatever reasons to be known. Somehow or rather, the Malay politics is getting so dirty and uncontrollable that I think it's going out of hand. Now that this election, BN faced a huge pain in the ass for the election result, of course, finally Malaysians are doing sometime the right way. I don't agree to the extend that BN is totally unacceptable, but its the lack of competition in the political arena that will not make it better and of course, will drag down the performance of the country. Think of how come the Malaysia system in older times are better than now? Let's get into more effective evaluation. How do I mean by better is that how the society behave and how's things happening. You can have all the fast pace technology you can, but it does not mean that the raping cases around the society will come down. If you see how the people in Malaysia is working and just to find a living, think of how the working life have been as in olden days. You can say that we are working in offices and very much more comfortable, but what kind of stuff are you producing? How long do you need to work? What do you get at the end of the day is different from what a farmer in olden days get after a day spent in the Padi field. At least he gets satisfaction that the day's weather is pleasent, his crops are looking good and harvest is coming that leads to another good year to come. While I'm working in companies, I just find that there's no satisfaction somehow and I don't even think my boss is that enthusiastic. He's just there to get paid for sitting there and read newspaper :p God knows what he's up to. The attitude of the society, the harmonious environment that has disappeared because of just a few things are not in place.
Racism, political control and everything else....what goes around, comes around. So, we are starting to see the effects of the deeds that everyone, I'm not blaming only the government, did in the society. Somehow or rather, if no one fights for their rights, no one cares for anything that they think is not right, the need to fight and care will disappear and everyone will just live by as it is as seen as the situation now in our society. So, what Hindraf did is one very significant and I agree to the occurrence of the event. It not only reminds people of the bravery to stand out for themselves, but also the sorrow they have hidden in them for years. That night on Thaipusam on my way to Genting, friends warned me about Hindraf might have some movement on the night and the streets might not be safe. Screw that, kind of think of it, no way that's going to affect me because I think that Hindraf is not going to hurt me in any way and no one wanna arrest me for any reason. Unless I start supporting them for what they're aiming to do :p Overall, the fight for independence (maybe not so extravagant) is very important for a person's everyday life. After coming here, I realised that the life that I live in Malaysia is somehow so limited not because I'm poor but because of how the system and society's impression set onto each other. So, the limit that everyone set to others will set a limit back to themselves and therefore, we're all limited to growth and improvements.

Runaway... the imagination of the word keep occur in my mind these days after spending most of my time playing Dota. Runaway from what? Runaway from studies, life and everything else. Nothing's done and nothing is in order in my place now. I've been living like a slacker for the past few weeks n it doesn't feel comfortable. Yet, how to change something even though we're not comfortable? I don't know now....I can't seem to be more determined as before to do any changes.

The conflict in the mind thinks about whether what I'm studying is actually decreasing my confidence. Well, kind of think of it, I chose this subject and it is known for all challenges. Therefore, it seems like I did not take the challenge head on, while lying there let the challenge be as it is. So, this is the question whether how do I face something rather than what is faced is not do-able.


Somehow, the feel of running away is so good. To be very honest, I really like to runaway. I know this is equivalent to the definition of irresponsible, yet who don't like it? Try listening to this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNxoLjxgp1A&feature=related
this is just the sweetness of running away and just releasing yourself to be who you really am and what you really is. I guess, the song implied that nothing is impossible and you have to fight for whatever you want and set yourself free....
