GOD DAMN IT!! Forgive my language, i assure u i'm still the soft spoken (so to say) mirian, sarawakian and malaysian guy that i was. it's just so frustrating. i had this long post all written, complete with photos and stuff, i just had a little more left to add. But guess what? i accidentally closed the window. anyone know how to get it back? But ah, who cares, i'm just going to write something else. no photos though - i'm still lazy, so i guess for now my blog will remain photo-less.
So ok, today was pretty uneventful (for those of u kepo-ing to know, at least. hehe). School, home, bla bla bla. But u know what? i don't know if i was more pissed off or disappointed, or maybe it was something else. Probably you've heard of the parliament (malaysian, of course) case/uproar about the sexist remark by a few MPs. It can be seen from 2 point of views though, and i'm not sure which one i agree to more. On one hand, i don't see a problem with cracking up jokes every once in a while, even in a serious institution like the parliament. I mean, why is there a need for such rigid formality? The parliament is there to better the country, to unify the people, and to make heard the many voices all around our beloved land. So why bother about statements like such? all good that comes from making a scene out of it is to highlight the "uneasiness", if u can say that, of the MPs with each other. Come on, think about it, everywhere u go, people make crude jokes once in a while. Nothing meant, no harm intended. So take it in good humour - u benefit more.
On the other hand, such remarks shouldnt be made at all. But the thing that really makes it unacceptable is how they react to accusations and such. What is all the "close one eye" and claiming it never happened and all that? Stand up, get some backbone, and admit mistakes! This isnt a primary school debate, where a child's ignorance can be the excuse for absurdity. This is a discussion on the level of society's top levels. Ignorance can not, MUST not, be an excuse to brush aside incidents. Malaysians have worked hard, struggled and sacrificed for the nation. Millions of tax money is at stake here. It shouldnt be wasted on projects unbefitting of Malaysia.
Malaysia, my country - i'm proud to be able to say that. But Malaysia has a long way to go - long, but definitely on the way. Hopefully one day i'll be able to come back and serve her. You guys! I don't think im babbling when i say i can count on u guys to come back as well, eyh? It'll be fun, working together. a bit far-fetched, but.. yea! i love Malaysia!! and no matter what people say or what happens, MALAYSIA ALWAYS BOLEH!!!

kinda sad really...
i would think that it's up to an individual to take the plunge into a relationship...i mean, is it right for you to feel "saddened" or whatever it is you feel about being more than just a "partner of fun" when people do actually open up to you?
I think that its up 2 u...people are like doors...they won't let u inside until u knock and turn the knob...
bottom line, putting effort into a relationship is always the key...
Natu? Different people have different views, and different perceptions. some don't even care if u open the door, some just care if u merely THINK of opening the door. Some dont care that u think about opening the door, some just care if u OPEN the door. And maybe to some, they dont knock because they feel that if they knock, then its an obligation to the other side to open,u know what i mean? not every door has a peephole. and not everyone wants to feel he/she is an obligation. but then, whatever the case, like u said, effort gives the door the extra push - it might not be the key for everyone.
