Birthday 2009

Hah, think it’s because of this blogger fatigue thingy, hasn’t been blogging for quite some time… And all a sudden, I went to read my blog post on birthday 2008… and asked myself, huh, I actually blogged about few hundreds words on my last year’s birthday eh?! So I guess it’s always good to write down about your birthday, so that next year you can make some “flashback”, reminisce a bit about what happen all the year…

Let’s recap my supposedly most “romantic” year in my life:

1. Happy that project came to an end, with not too great results, and still writing the dreadful thesis that isn’t half-way through yet…

2. Bugged by something ever since early this year, and got stucked even until now, have been rather emo for recent few months, somehow this thing just wouldn’t solve, even though I wish to move on…

3. Drank a lot, I mean a lot more.   Oh, and clubbed a fair bit, thanks to bunch of happening people.   And I went to I think my first, ummm, pop star concert!!!!! That’s Lady Gaga!!!!   And then some secret… hmmm…

4. Other than that, I think I’m just stucked in Singapore… lonely soul, any taker?

 

Anyway, not that there’s any celebration going on… and it doesn’t really help when birthday is on Monday, but labmates had celebrated (with surprise! ) my birthday at last Friday… Like the card they gave me, and it says Selamat Ulang Tahun

Oh, and Nov 8th is interesting… well first half at least… Yuan Jin aka Polar suddenly asked for lunch at Outram Park few days ago… And so we went to eat dumplings (鍋貼, 小籠包) at Maxwell, and when on the way to MRT, we met Jenny and Jun Jie! Let’s see, I never see Polar for about 1.5 years, and Jenny & Jun Jie for more than 3 years!!!! Ughhh, time flies~~

The second half of the day is filled with sweat and more sweat… and I played about 4 rounds of Heroes of Newerth, lost all 4 of them, what a decent birthday gift

 

Birthday wish? Stay happy (get rid of the emotion downfall, gain some courage), Finish the freaking thesis (with good quality, ouch) and the cheesiest one, world peace!

Malaysia day euphoria?

Seriously, what’s so great about having Malaysia day as another day of public holiday?

Does a Malaysia day public holiday makes Sarawakian and Sabahan more “Malaysian”? I don’t know, maybe Merdeka Poll Center should add in this question as a poll question.

Does this mean, if one day the government declare “National man day” as public holiday, then male Malaysian should be grateful happy and as such vote for the government? Similarly does that mean if we have public holiday for woman, gays, elderly, disabled and etc, then all those discrimination issues will fix itself?

To me, there’s no use to “celebrate” a certain day if we don’t even respect or achieve the meaning of that certain day… Yeah, independence day, it is safe to say that most Malaysians, especially the youngs, treat it as another public holiday… What’s so great about merdeka? We achieved our independence, just to get fucked by our own people, the retarded elitist so-called leaders. Did we get to be a “democratic” country that found on the principle of “liberty and justice”, what’s with our forefather’s vision, declared at 31st August 1957?

So what’s so great about “recognizing” the independence day of Sarawak and Sabah? So that the federal government can continue ignoring the poverty and social issues in these 2 states? So that the great nature environment of the states can continue be plundered exploited and eradicated?

What “the government taken the right steps”? Make Sarawak and Sabah really part of our country before you declare Malaysia day a day to celebrate… that’s what I called right steps…

Randoms…

Suppose to have a lot of stuff to write… but decided to just write some random points here, guess this is the problem with blogging:

1. Malaysia was formed in 16th September, but Sabah and Singapore declared independence (unilaterally) at 31st August, now I wonder what’s the hoo-ha about “you west Malaysian never respect our independence”…?

2. OK, indeed East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) was and is sidelined by west-Malaysia-centric federal government. But hey come on, the constitution has provided 25% of its parliamentary seats for Sabah and Sarawak states, which forced the West Malaysians look totally like a dumbass. I mean, for us, 70~90k voters get represented by 1 wakil rakyat, and for the East Malaysians, it’s about 20k~50k!

3. “The Persekutuan Tanah Melayu […] is and with God’s blessing shall be for ever a sovereign democratic and independent State founded upon the principles of liberty and justice and ever seeking the welfare and happiness of its people and the maintenance of a just peace among all nations.”, now this is the reason for us to celebrate independent day…

4. Anyway, am totally in Madonna mood right now, just because the freaking HMV in city hall was airing her CD’s songs…

5. How much money would you reserve for your jobless period? Planning to go Manado lah… at least SGD1k… =X

6. It seems like it’s getting more and more emo to walk/eat alone… one year ago I wouldn’t really care if I feel alone and lonely… Hmmmmmmmmm…

7. That being said, things are getting confusing, awfully distracting and the door seems to be shaking… Ah well, it’s hard to be me myself, proven yet again…

8. Oh back to 6 OK? I think eating with friends tend to make you overeat! Like a lot of stuff you won’t usually eat when eating alone, you know, stingray, rojak, ice cream etc… yummy but fatty!!!! And it doesn’t help for being a scavenger like me!!!! EEEeeeeekkkkkk~

9. Finishing thesis in time? yeah, it’s getting hard and harder… Camouflage, cryptic… just when I’m writing a thesis on it, I myself am exhibiting such behaviour… =X

10. Been talking and doing a lot more nonsense nowadays, something is wrong with my brain, oh well…

Different world

Najib says Malaysia to be symbol of tolerance to world

Errr… hello, dear Hon PM Najib, am I living in a different world than you?

Stop giving feel-good-speech that basically telling the whole world you’re living in a denial already lah…

Malaysia is heading down the road to be symbol of whither economy, democracy and judiciary system (which were once being some most respectable)… Malaysia is soon to be symbol of violence, corruption, ignorance and a failure state to world…

And all you’re doing is keep talking as if Malaysia is going to conquer the world just to make people feel good about you huh? All you’re doing is to sweep all the problems Malaysia’s facing under the carpet. All you’re doing is to let your machai (cabinet members, party leaders) to do and say all the dirty things that you want to do, and then you instead come out and say some nice things acting as if you’re good cop?

自知之明

藍奕邦 - 自知之明

沒有可愛面孔　不懂嘩眾取寵
未太懂去用言語誇張掩人耳目
一早知道沒那種資格
營造氣氛欺騙觀眾
但那青蛙亦有公主包容

沒有趣緻賣相　只得一對手掌
一邊唱一邊彈　平凡變得漂亮
沒有那個大志去當萬人迷
當了還覺得牽強

沒有想怎麼討好所有人
只知道安守我小小本份
不愛用半句埋怨博取一個憐憫
唯有專心做個知足的人

沒有咋舌技倆　都不必太緊張
醜小鴨跟天鵝　同樣發光發亮
沒有興趣為某君裝扮模樣
堆砌盛世來鋪張

沒有想怎麼討好所有人
只知道安守我小小本份
不愛用半句埋怨博取一個憐憫
從未厭棄過自己身份

就算我知音只一個人
給他去欣賞過仍是有幸
自己都知道還有那一些我沒有
唯有專心做個知足的人

我也不稀罕討好世人
之所以不需多修飾缺陷
不要護蔭更何況我不需要憐憫
從未怕看到這麼逼真

就算我知音只得這鋼琴
都不要緊反正我很開心
自己都知道沒有法子可以完美
唯有安心做個簡單的人

沒法逼你欣賞　給我尖叫鼓掌
但至少我就此發表清楚我立場

Totally resonates well with me…
