The Victim Mentality Must Go

If you ask my kids this question, they can tell you the answer in a heartbeat.

What kind of people do I hate the most?
Answer: Lazy people.

What do lazy and over-privileged people do when they are cornered? They will start playing victim. And that is what our Leader did....wait, our Leader's leader did. Well, yeah, I guess doing absolutely nothing while you are in a position of power counts as being lazy too.

It is hard to fathom writing this without me trying to subdue my animilistic reaction to challenge them to normal life. They know nothing about hard work. They know nothing about not having work at all. They know nothing about having no money. They know zilch about digging through your kids' piggy bank for milk money. They know nothing about worrying about tomorrow's meals and the next day. They know nada about paying for school fees. They know nothing about trying not to get sick because you will then have no money for a doctor's visit. They know nothing about enduring excruciating hours spent in a traffic gridlock.

And these people had the cheek to say the following:-
“Everything has been taken away from me, including my time, including my hobbies. I don't get to play badminton now because I am very busy doing things for the rakyat.
????!!!!!

Seriously???!!!!

I am not an American so, whatever Obama's healthcare or educational system and website is like does not concern me at all. But his 'No Excuses' speech is really the kind of speech we want to hear from our leaders.

The key is 'take responsibility'....and Malaysia does not have this kind of 'take responsibility' mentality. Instead, we have a 'you took everything from me, what more do you want' mentality.

It's sickening, really.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
