i'm sad, it sickens me

Share Image credit for once, i don't want to bother with caps and grammar. i dont care. yes, i write for a living and usually, i am paid to pay attention to all these things. but to hell with them all. i doon wan 2 swpel korekly toodey. because i am sad. so, so, so, sad. you know, when i was in hong kong, i was so proud to say tat i was from 'tai mah', malaysia, that is. tai ma chinese people (altho i am not chinese, i CONSIDER myself chinese) are considered rather cool in our own way. we are all different but same at the same time. and today, i am so sad about our situation here that i am ready to hightail outta here. i am also ready to side with the opposition for anything. any opposition. ANY. and i do. but even siding with the opposition can't do shit when the people in this country can't see logic. how do you make a cute little pet parrot understand algebra? how do you help a hamster build a rocket? human beings are superior, u see, we do these things because animals can't. i don't mean to imply that some people are parrots and hamsters. no, seriously. i am just saying as in saying, as in saying only, giving a friggin' example, OKAYYYYY!!??? and being human beings, we are supposed to be able to see things differently from the animals. but i suppose it's not true after all. we are STILL animals. and we are not beyond being senselessly violent and intrusive towards each other. it sickens me. is there no wonder way to stop this? even if i did everything i could to help the opposition to help the govt see that they are moving in the wrong direction, it's not gonna work because malaysians are more animal than they are human. forgive me for saying that we are animals. this post is probably not going to put malaysia in a very good light, but i can't help myself. i don't think burning churches is a good thing. u have ur right, others have theirs. burning the churches down is just one group thinking that they are superior; and that can't be right. so, i am so sad that i am not sure if there is hope for the country anymore.

I am also sad and slightly baffled by the thoughtlesness of some people. Marsha, there is always hope, I am sure that deep down inside the hearts of the people in Malaysia, unity regardless of race and religion is the most important thing. Changes are coming. Don't let a few rotten apples get your hope down. Cheer up :)

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???) ...
