And as promised, here's another song video from another great singer Nina Simone. It's not her actual name by the way. She changed her name cause she did not want her mom to know she was singing 'the devils music'. Haha, but she's really good in relating to her audience. I remembered this song where she sang and stopped, and expressed her feelings on love songs and why does it has to be so sad. You can't be soul and black music lovers if you don't know this woman! :nods:.
Anyways, the song below is sinnerman by her and it was once featured in the Thomas Crown Affair movie when he was returning the painting. Pierce Brosnan is definitely our generations Steve McQueen. He like totally owned all those guys during the scene. Oh crap! I'm deviating from the real purpose now eih ><.
So here it is
NINA SIMONE - SINNERMAN
So nice eh? ;)
With the power of the order of the Laveenian Knights
JAJA!
THE JOYS OF BEING SINGLE
Many people for centuries think that being a single is like being a loner, however, we decline to agree to such perception due to it being very misguided and ofcourse untrue. Lets face it, if being a single is not fun or enjoyable, where did the word playboy came from right? And its a known fact that more than half of the men in the world , let it be single or taken, are wanting to be a playboy.
A loner is a loner and a single is a single. Both aspects are very much different.
A loner is a person who has been left by their mate or in any apsect similar to that whereas being a single is your own choice! Is it wrong for you to make a choice to be one?
And the best part is that a single person may or may not engage in dating or checking out anyone they want(even the same sex but seriously, if can DON'T, for girls can laa :P)!
However we can't deny one last thing that the term single isn't exactly suitable, it is BACHELORS or BACHELORETTES.
In conjunction with Valentines day, or the Single Awareness Day (sad) we have compiled a list of reasons to support and show the fun in being a single.
They are as below:
1.You shall never get guilty looking at other opposite sex with delicious hot body
2.You would not need to buy expensive gifts to your mate and get pissed when he or she gives it back
3.You get to save money and prepare for the impending financial crisis and inflation
4.You get to save time for studies(joking) and go out to do more meaningful stuff than hold a girls hand for two hours
5.You don't get scolding by the opposite sex just because you did something small
6.You won't need to worry of what your mate thinks
7.You would get to spend more time with friends
8.You won't waste time thinking of your mate and use it to think about how to curb the inflation hitting the world currently
AND FYI, we have been in relationships so we know what we're talking about!
Please and thank you.
Due to the unfortunate fact that yours truly is suffering from writers block (which I seem to have randomly now and then) I've decided to put up one of my favourite songs to ganti my usual ramblings on war and peace and current issue comments.
So here's Gladys Knight!
(normally she would be paired up with The Pips as her back up male singers but in this song no)
Sedap kan? I think later on I'll post up Marvin Gaye's and Minnie Riperton's ;).
Today Israel is going to have it's national election and the whole world looks on upon it with hopes of a change. Many now hopes that with the way the war went, the opposition party, Likud lead by Benjamin Netanyahu, will win. Many people see it as a sign of change to the way the security of Israel and more importantly the middle east.
I for one have a bad feeling about this considering that even the Likud party would still not improve the terms for a cease fire and ending the Gaza blockade.
Yuval Diskin, head of Shin Bet: “Hamas is interested in continuing the truce, but wants to improve its terms”: an end to Gaza blockade, and Israeli ceasefire on the West Bank. The cabinet – high with election fever and eager to appear tough – rejected these terms. (J Hari, The Independent, 29/12/08)
sometimes, I feel like I'm like Jane Austin in Finding Jane
fighting with the tide of normality and oppression of the negative ideals of the people today
Just that I'm not a girl you know
and it's difficult abstaining yourself from your ideas
I hate being this way
I hate myself haha!
Come on dude think positive!
How can you possibly write about helping others when you feel like this!?
I think i need my friends right now
Haha,
Where are they?
A so-called truce has been done and Israel (in their own context) stopped the invasion. Happy here happy there yada yada peace yay! Bet that was what you expected huh?
Whenever war happens, the most difficult part survival. We can't deny that, you don't survive, you die. Simple.
But what is the next hardest thing when something bad happens? Is it about counter-attacking the problem? or is it finding a cure?
Well i would say, it is picking up the pieces and the process of repairing it back to a better state it was and this is what is happening to the Palestinians in Gaza right now.
Many people speak of the harshness of war, of what it brings in terms of life count, but let's try something else. Let's try economy, let's try infrastructure and lastly, the life of the war victims themselves.
Economy:
Economy is a major part in the human colony. Money dominates nearly every possible thing on earth, sometimes unfortunately, even love. Without money, we can't buy food, clothing's and a comfy bed for us to sleep on. Money is the vito of a man's life.
However when war happens, expenditure of a country increases tremendously. They would have to but weapons, ammunition, tanks and etc etc. Even a soldiers kit would cost more than 300+ US dollars. Imagine the number of soldiers. Try guessing the cost, and you would get millions spent!! While these money could be spend towards the welfare of the country, it's being wasted in a war.
During war, resources (any) will deplete faster than before. Many would vie to buy foods and soap. Necessity items becomes limited and this makes price increase due to its limitedness. So it effects the people indirectly as well as the country.
And all this goes on and on until the war truly ends and even then, money still is flowing out! Why? Because to build back houses require money! To produce back food requires money! EVERYTHING REQUIRES MONEY. As mentioned, money dominates.
A country may lose more than half of its monetary funds because of war, as we have seen towards Britain in world war 1. Japan was fortunate America helped them greatly if not they would not achieve the same status now if things were to have gone differently. But don't be mistaken that America is a hero, it is never a hero. War mongers are a more precise term for them. When gone bankrupt, they are not able to do business and many more.
Infrastructure:
Infrastructure is regarded as a country's way to show its development. But when war happens building gets blown. And a lot too. And to build one is not within a day, it takes months and years. Houses are lost, childrens and old women are forced to live under a hut in the 21st century! Schools and prayer houses! Each one building plays a major role in providing a secure, comfortable and most importantly safety towards the civilians.
By disregarding the aspect importance in infrastructure, any volunteer or peace loves is still denying rights of a normal life towards
I'll write about their lives in another post as it might be very long.Thank you and to be continued!
He pushed away the soft curtains as he walks quietly towards her. His heart full of the wickedness and anger had doused his flames of love. Love was no more than the devil's play for him.
From his pocket he took out the Persian's knife, and clutched it strongly in his grip. And like Othello, he strides to her room bringing her impending doom.
Roxanne, not realizing of the predicament she was in, continued applying her make ups infront of her mirror. A little more and it would have been done but she stopped. She stops as she looks deeply into the mirror. She stares deeply to look at the sinfully woman who had betrayed every single bit of love and sacrifice that Carlos had given her.
She held up her powder once more to continue and the words of Count Bresco echoing in her mind haunted her. But what she did was for the benefit of them both did it not ,she thought to herself. Almost suddenly tear's rolled down her cheeks and ruined her make-up. But that did not bother her. It was her actions and his feelings that mattered . She cried her heart out and closed her face with her two hands in shame.
But was anyone there to hear?
From behind she heard the lock of her door opened and the knob turned. A man came in and there he stood looking at her composed. In his hand, there was a knife, and on his face, he was no more.
The one thing about Israel that shocks me the most, is their arrogance. Not stopping at their antics of war, they now shifts their attention towards terrorizing volunteer efforts.
In less than a week after their presumed invasion, they have limit the volunteer efforts, still blocks the border and even not allow for harmless fishermen's to fish in their own territories.
Lately, they have shot a boat (precisely three times) shipping many supplies from all over the world declining entrance to Gaza and thus cutting supplies. I'm not too surprised at this however.
Israel has never in history remember it's lessons. It has continued its efforts towards reclaiming Gaza(especially the west bank) for their own reasoning that it has been their ancestors land before. They have refused to acknowledge the democratic rights of the people who have voted for Hamas. Thus a treaty was made in 2006. But going back to their defiance and so-called rights, they broke it again in 2008.
After the invasion, everyone went happy and relieved. But Israel now already gaining its confidence, continues their reign of terror in a small manner. But how did this happen? I for one believe it is because we were inconsistent with our steps.
Now everyone feels better and this gives Israel the chance, the opportunity to strike again!
Before the truce in 2006, around 500-600 supply trucks were allowed in Gaza daily, but during the cease fire only 90 were allowed in daily! Many of the Gazaans starved, but again, we never noticed that. So Israel is now taking its chance and does not allow any supply in.
So they did let a few in. Yay, Israel are goooood. Honestly? Screw that.
Compared to the thousand of Gazaans, what does a few truckloads of food able to do?
Rather than be happy a few are let in, we should've continued our argue and fight for more trucks and supplies to be allowed in! The suffering is endless now that even food isn't enough for all of them. Infact rather than not allowing the trucks in, they're arrogantly rang shots at supply ships as to warn them from coming in. The worse thing that killing a person right there and then, is to starve and make them suffer to death.
We now have another new issue to battle in Gaza. And it is of our volunteering rights! Our rights towards helping those in need, the war victims who are continuously being made to suffer indirectly. Our safety to help them are in jeopardy as even sending food risk our lives. This jeopardizes our rights to help.
The war may have been announced over, but does that mean the issues are over.
Now another arises, and do we still need a dead innocent man, a journalist or a volunteer worker to make us realize it?
HEY EVERYONE! Okay the latest news is my friend Miss Shakina is opening up a small internet fashion company. She's 17 and dah start? Smart eh?
Well the company's name is Violet Wardrobe

I DON'T EAT PORK FYI.
Hurm, Pork? Why pork you wonder?
Okay, As you all might know now that I live in Malaysia. Malaysia being as what it is consist of many races and this is our best point. Being able to tolerate each other for more than 50 years now is considered a miracle because even as you can see in movies, even the United States which is mainly controlled by the white people discriminated other races greatly(creating the Ku Kux Clan).
The respect we have among each other in this country is great! Personally, i have even more friends who are non-bumiputra and i like them very well. Everyday i find myself very happy being among them as Malaysians and not thinking of our respective race.
But sometimes our respect gets to a very funny level but i guess they're just being appropriately respecting us Malays. For Malays we can't eat pork meat because our religion(Islam) forbids it.
So what my Chinese friends would normally do is, every single time they put up a picture of a pork meat they would put down there "sorry" or something like it. I find it funny because they think it would be offensive to do such a small thing.
Okay fine so it can be offensive if you give pork meat in a situation where most guest are Muslims and offer it to them but to offer it when there is a Chinese wedding? I personally think it's their rights to do so. Just remember to put up the sign showing it's pork meat.
And then there's this friend of mine who puts up a picture of pork meat and apologise. Haha, where can you get these kind of wonderful friends huh? But he didn't need to apologise because it's just a picture!
Most of them think i would get angry every single time they mention pork. Sometimes my friends would ask me
"hey sorry ah. You wouldn't mind right? "
" Haha! It's okaylah! It's just pork meat. Don't worry" :)
See see! Such nice people! They would ask questions like that worrying that i would feel offended! I think it's normal for pork to be eaten among them and we shouldn't get offensive for such small matters. It's not as if they're offering us some in which it would matter cause it's very offensive to do so.
I would just like to say that it's okay for you all to enjoy it and put up pictures of pork meat! There's no need to apologies unless its necessary but then again being the good Malaysians that we are, we always do! And that's good actually. Imagine if we were to do it that way, everyone would apologise even if we're eating beef because Indians can't eat beef! And it isn't fair if we can say sorry to Malays but not to Indians so we only need to be careful so that there won't need for us to apologise.
So yeah just wanted to make a small point :). Malaysia is cool and more is it's diverse range of races!
