- Life is regretful, at times.
- You never know what you lose, until you really lose them.
- I have lived with regrets, I thought I moved on.
- I disconnected all the chapters, and reconnected them again. I don’t think I moved on afterall.
- Instead, I think I am drawing strength from the past to drive myself forward.
- It is good to learn from the past. But if it is based on vengeance, I am not sure if I’m doing it right.
- Life is confusing. And I’m confusing.
- Nice.

It took me two months to prepare for an event which required two years of preparation.
It took me just a few minutes of brilliance to solve something which was not solved for years.
I’ve defied the odds before. And I will do it, again.

Absolutely random
On the National Language
So let’s say, if now I opt to express my honest views in English instead of the national language, does not that make me love my country less? I don’t dislike my national language but I just prefer to articulate my views in English because my primary source of knowledge has been English for many years. Mind-boggling indeed from what I read in the student forums in Malaysia. They are certainly all hyped up to protect the national language from ‘extermination’.
Hang on a second, I’m not saying that the national language is not important. It’s most likely the best medium the bridge the communication between Malaysians. But hello, you are barking on the wrong tree. The main issue that we should deal with is the uncertain economy landscape and the social instability that we facing within our fences. So yeah, "Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa". Get all Malaysians to speak Bahasa Malaysia (or Bahasa Melayu some chauvinist may wanna call it), and let’s see if we will solve all the same old thrash that we read in the press daily.
A side-pot-shot: On Malaysia taking Japan as a role model in using the national language as the medium for education - this is bound to fail. Malaysians are too complacent and too comfortable to do what is required to make it come true. No balls no glory, no brain same story. Period.
BN’s loss in the two Bukits bi-elections: On Malaysian Chinese as ‘the opportunist race’ as prescribed by Mingguan Malaysia
Based on the postulate of your argument, the Chinese voted PR during the bi-elections because we are opportunist so BN will have to lay out more projects to win the votes.
Let’s get it straight. The government or opposition or what ever authority it is doesn’t hold the people ransom. The people hold you at ransom because we elected you. People do not vote for you if they think you are not up for the job. Furthermore, executing projects to develop constituencies regardless of which party "owns" it is your responsibility. So what if the Bukit Kuda constituency (if it exists) is under the opposition? Very childish for the pro-governments to say "I won’t develop this place to show the people what it feels to vote against us…". Again, no balls no glory, no brain same story. Hello, everyone freaking pay their taxes ok. It’s our money OK. Malaysian parties do not generate the bank notes. It’s every Malaysian’s drop of sweat regardless of his or her ideology.
On a bigger note, shame on the "proud defenders". 51 years have passed, and we still wanna separate ourselves as Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans, etc. 51 years have passed and yet we still fail to see ourselves as a family before segregating to our respective races. As one of the elementary school students in the Petronas Ad said. "What’s race? Race car ar?". A child can see it, but we choose not to see it.
The obvious conclusion
I refuse to comment on other issues. It just gets me more disappointed.
I’m not gonna be optimistic here. Who ever wins this skirmish - may it be BN or PR. Let me tell you who suffers most. It’s your children and I am one of them.
Expect a free-falling education system. Then a mediocre workforce. Then a mediocre future generation. Then a more mediocre political scenario and worse socio-economical status then we are witnessing. Use your brains and pure heart people, not the sentiments in your veins.
Let me share a short story:
In the battlefield, there are three types of soldiers. The mercenary, the soldier and the patriot. Of course, many would agree that they are the patriot. And who ever that opposes their views are mere mercenaries. But again across the river, they just think exactly the same.
One truly becomes a patriot, when he does not need to brand anyone a mercenary anymore. And patriots never utter much, they just do what is right for all the stakeholders.

Where the word ‘dumbstruck’ is defined
From Malaysiakini:
| Pekida buat aduan polis terhadap Gani Patail |
| Mar 2, 09 6:10pm |
|
Pertubuhan Kebajikan dan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Pekida) dan Badan Bertindak Rakyat Malaysia (BBRM) membuat laporan polis terhadap peguam negara yang mengklasifikasikan kematian A Kugan sebagai kes bunuh. Mereka mendakwa kenyataan Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail berhubung kematian suspek curi kereta itu dibuat tanpa mengambil kira pandangan majistret dan pakar patologi, lapor Bernama. Laporan polis itu dibuat oleh pengerusi Pekida Wilayah Persekutuan, Roslan Dahaman dan setiausaha BBRM Naseron Ismail di Ibu Pejabat Roslan dipetik berkata aduan itu dibuat bagi memastikan tiada salah guna kuasa dan menuntut peguam negara agar tidak mengetepikan pandangan pihak lain. "Gani mengetepikan pandangan kedua-dua individu itu apabila beliau mendakwa Kugan mati disebabkan dibunuh dan bukan disebabkan paru-paru berair seperti yang disahkan sebelum ini… justeru kita minta beliau mengkaji semula pandangannya itu," katanya selepas membuat laporan itu. Roslan berkata kenyataan peguam negara itu boleh disalaherti dan dianggap seperti menggalakkan perlakuan jenayah serta memberi perlindungan kepada penjenayah. Menurut agensi berita itu lagi, beliau berkata pasukan polis tidak sepatutnya dipersalahkan atas kematian Kugan kerana mereka hanya menjalankan tugas mereka. (This is the ‘dumbstruck’ paragraph) Ketua Polis Daerah Sentul ACP Zakaria Pagan berkata siasatan akan dijalankan oleh polis Putrajaya berikutan kedua-dua badan pernah membuat laporan berhubung perkara yang sama di IPD Putrajaya pada 23 Jan lepas. Kugan direman 15 Jan lalu bagi membantu siasatan polis dan meninggal dunia empat hari selepas itu semasa dalam tahanan polis. |
From the ‘dumbstruck’ paragraph:
So if the police are doing their job, they should not be blamed for the death of a healthy man who is in custody?
Either the news portal is unreliable or the statement released is dumbfounding.

Nothing Else Matters
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

Did you see the shiny moon?
Turned into a black balloon
Just as you walked away from me
Did you see how hard I’ve tried?
Not to show the pain inside
Just as you walked away from me
Who painted the moon black?
Just when you passed your love back
Who painted the moon black?
Oh won’t you, won’t you come back?
It must have been the darkest night
Not even a star in sight
Just as you walked away from me, now
Who painted the moon black?
Just when you passed your love back
Who painted the moon black?
Oh won’t you, won’t you come back?
Who painted the moon black?
Just when you passed your love back
Who painted the moon black?
Oh won’t you, won’t you come back?
Who painted the moon?
Da da da…
Did you see the shiny moon?
Turned into a black balloon
Just as you walked away from me
