Now don’t get me wrong, an idealistic mind is always a gem among the group of norm. However, an idealistic mind poses this one weakness which cultivates problems in many areas and poses a big risk namely, misconception and diverted understanding.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;The weakness of such an idealistic mind lies in its enthusiasm itself. You see, a huge explosion of enthusiasm gives rise to an idealistic opinion in a student. However, once an idealistic view approaches, they fail to see the rationale of the other option. Now bear in mind, when taking a decision, no option is wrong, but every option has its degree of rationality. Option A is rationale as it serves the crowd better but it may forget the minority whereas option B is also rationale as it serves both but in a lesser amount to both sides. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Empathy is a strong word. At times it brings about liberal consciousness which is bad. But at times it is a necessity when we are faced with a huge crowd vesting to millions of people. What empathy does is to give us another way of looking at things.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Our view must not be selfish; our view must be positively responsive to the whole crowd. If we are to understand the view of side A without understanding side B we are no better than people like Hitler (and bear in mind what an idealistic young man he was during his time!) &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;I had attended a talk in the starting of August, it was in a way a positive talk that tries to address issues and in a way evoke idealism. However, what saddens me is the foolishness of several students. There was a session where they were allowed to ask the speakers a question. I was struck the most when one student asked,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;“You say that we should study in BM whereas all the previous Prime Ministers had studied in English medium schools during their days”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Now I’m not such a smart person but honestly, wasn’t that a bit tad too stupid to ask? We are at a time where we can choose what language to use, to learn, to cultivate! In their time it was not. We were in the British colonial rule and even in Mahathir’s era he was in no position to fight whether he wants to learn it in English or BM. Ever heard of a 10 year old fighting for human rights? Maybe yes you have, but in this case, it’s a definite no.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;What some of them were doing was question for the sake of questioning, not for the sake of learning. Their ideals and stands may have been right or wrong, but the medium in which they have tried to use to justify it was used wrongly. Hence a question posed that day should have been done not for the sake of just to ask and get things clear but to learn. Knowledge is in many forms, idealism may be posed in many people and that includes even Karl Marx and those evil geniuses. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Our enthusiasm lied in the wrong manner. Enthusiasm was made a veil to the rationale thinking. And thus leads us to develop a false stand where we look upon things negatively and without putting in mind of the opposite. I refuse and abhor such scrutiny imposed upon idealism as idealism is a good thing. Idealism pushes us to fight for something; idealism is what has shaped humanity whether good or bad. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Hence for the sake of knowledge and civilization, be idealistic, but be rational as well. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-3529412696415076835?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/3529412696415076835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/08/idealism-what-not.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3529412696415076835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3529412696415076835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/08/idealism-what-not.html' title='Idealism: what not'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SpJvrRyDvlI/AAAAAAAAAT0/hi6HH23GQ8g/s72-c/513291194_ef1907f420.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-9159776611183879425</id><published>2009-07-09T02:52:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T02:55:51.187+08:00</updated><title type='text'>MAHA CLINIC!

Then I grew up and become things which i hate. I feel as if society is what shaped me today. No, it didn't shape me to a bad person or a criminal or a juvenile delinquent, but instead it shaped me to become someone who was not....well me.. Every single day, i wake up and i just wish i would wake up a person i would actually like to become. But what is it that i want to become? I go to school and i act like this person who i really hate! I do things which i rarely agree with! I hang out with people who made me feel like a flipping burger workaholic instead of a friend. I dont know what is a friend, I dont belong to a group of friends. Every time i go somewhere is like letting go of everything before me and taking something new, just temporarily. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I want to feel that sense of belonging&lt;/span&gt;. I want to know what is friendship. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I want to know me&lt;/span&gt;. I feel like im alone, I feel cold everyday, in every sense. My heart thumps and feels so weak, I grow jelous of those few people who hang out with the same people each day, go to each others houses and laugh together whereas I sit there alone and do my work. People would say like "Hey! go hangout with people like you la" but the thing is, who am i? Every single day i wear different hats with different people and different situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;clown&lt;/span&gt; in class&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;strict and serious&lt;/span&gt; guy in school&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I am the &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;loner&lt;/span&gt; among them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet i feel like this is not me. I am someone else. I've lost Ashman. I want to feel like Ashman once more. I don't want to be the philosophical person, the debater, the commander, the leader or anything else!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just want to be ashman but i dont know what that is anymore. I hate the way society treats me like it knows me. I hate the way I am stereotyped and not taken seriously when i am being serious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm afraid now, of waking up one day, alone, with no memories, hateful, and cold. I'm afraid of regretting that I never made a significance in my life, I'm afraid that&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I have no significance in life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would do anything to trade whatever it is in this life and everything else, to have that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To lay down under a tree, with an apple and a book on top of my face covering me as I sleep and my head on her lap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I really do not know what or who I am now&lt;br /&gt;And that is the death of me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-4984536041083997637?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/4984536041083997637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/07/blargh.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/4984536041083997637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/4984536041083997637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/07/blargh.html' title='Blargh'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-3682238153193578288</id><published>2009-06-21T16:07:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-21T16:10:07.617+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Casablanca Lines</title><content type='html'>Ahah!

They come up with their 'interesting' ideas and stark 'evidence', clear comparisons and historical accounts then comes up with a conclusion and swoosh! stands proudly on their ground, claims something which doesn't even make sense. But then again, nothing ever makes sense right?&lt;br /&gt;    One word, WOW. Why wow? Because by this process of "philosophical thinking", humanity has abused it and seems to take into high consideration of their intellectuality.

&lt;![endif]--&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="NoSpacing"&gt;The world has perhaps turned a bit uglier for President Obama. Short into his 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; term, he has successfully lost the confidence of more than few key-economist, historian and public figures. Just less than two weeks ago did Obama’s plea for support troops in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; was rejected by the European Union (EU) members. The response though fortunately failed to tarnish his reputable image. The Obama fever hasn’t cooled down, the people are still addicted and Obama girl is still active.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;Barack Obama is doing exactly what his campaign says, and the financial statements, the unemployment rates and much more are not exactly getting much better. He is not entirely wrong, for the past 4 months he has done few things past American presidents would not dare to do, pulling away troops from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and announcing the closure of &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Guantanamo&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Bay&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. Though current polls shows that by last February his approval rating among Democrat has drop by 6 percent but is still remaining high of 92% and for the Republican of dropping by 19% down to 31%&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Though the middle class society and the rest of the world is totally in love with Obama, various economic critic and historians are starting to think otherwise. Only last month did Tim Ferguson mention that “&lt;i style=""&gt;attempts to rescue the economy by &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; and other political capitals have done little good and much harm&lt;/i&gt;”&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[2]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Numerous of them have proposed actions and ideas on which systems that need revamping but none seems to past his ears. And here we are counting our matchsticks paying the price of ignorance. It seems as if the meetings before his inauguration centering on the economic crisis was not constructive. Either this or Obama’s economic ‘teacher’ Larry Summers is a terrible one.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;His more current move in nationalizing the financial institutions is a much opposed one. &lt;i style=""&gt;The government's decision to purchase minority stakes in financial institutions and further expand its deposit insurance programs will bolster its power over how financial institutions are managed and regulated going forward. But do the steps that the Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. plan to take amount to a partial nationalization of our financial system?&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[3]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The idea of this gives the govt. more than just huge stake in decision making but relinquishes the idea of a free enterprise &lt;i style=""&gt;bringing government bureaucracy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[4]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; into the picture. No longer are corporations free to make decisions without any government intervention.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This gives the federal bank micro management of the financial institutions. It may be good in a way of decreasing the risk of non-performing loans. But then walks in the issue of how the govt. is going to implement the action as the buying out of the financial institutions shares would deliberately allow the equity holders to walk away freely without any consequence. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;         &lt;/span&gt;Another problem lies in the appointment of Obama’s Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner himself. Here is the man who has been in the crisis in the middle of summer 2007 and still failed the New York Reserve. Steve Forbes wrote “&lt;i style=""&gt;You would think he’d have been ready for decisive, bold actions as soon as Obama took the oath of office. Instead, he has discouraged markets with his vague generalities&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[5]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;”&lt;/i&gt;. An article in the New York Times mention that &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;“&lt;i style=""&gt;As the day wore on, Mr. Geithner faced growing skepticism from Democratic and Republican lawmakers, many of them channeling deep voter disgust with the way the government has handled the bailout over the last nine months&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[6]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/i&gt; The Senate Finance Committee cited his lack of details and information in his plans giving a lack of confidence in the Obama-lead administration. Even the House Financial Service Committee, Wall Street and various Economists are taking swipes on his costly blunder that’s taking up precious time waiting for more detailed plans&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[7]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. They also took an offense towards the new Bank Bail-Out plan commenting that tax payers money are practically going to banks and financial institutions that directly helped the current crisis escalate. These banks are not investing or lending out paralyzing the credit flow without anyone gaining from it. And with the nationalization it’s going to be worse as the Chairman of the Federal Bank, Ben Bernanke who is weary and reluctant to invest. &lt;i style=""&gt;The whole purpose of having savings is to direct savings from one party to be invested with another party&lt;/i&gt;, as explained by Steve Forbes&lt;a style="" href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri;"&gt;[8]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. But what Bernanke is doing is following his predecessor Alan Greenspan is avoiding ‘excess savings’ which is practically preposterous, because there can never be an excess in savings!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;      &lt;/span&gt;President Obama should take a cue from his hero Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln did whatever that was necessary, firing incapable generals and taking up books on war when his advisors did not perform. Though Obama is still in his honeymoon with &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, it is clear that with his declining confidence in the senate and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s Putin’s new plan to reestablish itself as the major player gathering back the nations lost from the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Soviet Union&lt;/st1:place&gt; he may have to change his basic premises. In the coming months, he would face an even worse situation and escalating opposition. He cannot afford to have the slows as the financial crisis is said to only be brewing. The unemployment rates are still low, and the results are yet to show, and if this persist to happen he too like Herbert Hoover, shall be a one-termer.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Life update yea! I rarely do these kind of girly stuff so once in a while why not eih.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so tomorrow I'm going to apply for the Help University College Foundation in Arts. I went to the Facon EduFair today at KLCC with Ayah and we met this guy at Help's booth. Well he didn't actually introduce to me the arts foundation but what really interested me and Ayah was the University of London External System. But to get in he suggested foundations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayah was like Hey! This is like so cool lets go to Help straight away! And so we did, met this nice guy form the UOL department and now I'm enrolling for foundation tomorrow! I guess my plans on Form 6 and A-levels tidak menjadi kerana saya merasakan ini adalah untuk terbaik. The guy did mention though that the UOL degree course is going to be very hard and that every intake normally theres only 25 people applying. Its much harder than the University of East London(UOEL) and more challenging. He also mentioned that this course are normally for ambitious ones (puji diri LOL!). But I guess no matter in what ever course its always hard, but i really intend to work hard from now. I feel really bad for only studying the last 2 months before SPM and now my results are terrible :(. My intake is on the 23rd of March! So near but now I finally have a purpose in life. Thats good if your wondering :P.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah other than that I'm not sure what else to say, there was so many chicks at the Help's booth though, I mean the enquiring ones.&lt;br /&gt;Really lah, don't come to help. OMYGOSH! HAVE I GONE GAY? NO LAH. Actually nanti terlalu banyak distraction. I mean you guys know kan how my head is like. Macam a chick alarm. Turns everywhere theres a hot chick. It's not my fault okay, its just that way. I don't know what you science people call it, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;hormon&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; kan? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;;P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buuuttt then if you ladies want to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I won't exactly mind&lt;/span&gt; HAHA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hence with my honest intention of wanting to be hardworking, I wish to inform that I shall not be too frequent with my blog now, I might post when I'm extremely free or post any of my assignments if its interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this below can only be understood by very few so beware!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when I said that if it won't happen then I won't do it for the next few years, I guess life has its way of telling things which are just not meant and I was just being to small-boy-ish about it though I'm already 18 now. I guess I would just have to follow what I say now. I feel a bit weird though but it's fine. Normally I find Malay guys doing it very frequently after they're out of school but I'm the other way round. I don't mind being this way, I feel happy with the people I'm with now, they're nice people but I feel bad I act even around them. But thats another issue I'm still contemplating. I think I'll be very fine, one seems like an interesting figure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And well just to end my post for tonight, heres a nice video for all of you! Its funny :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mqkIfjXhxX0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mqkIfjXhxX0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BBYE&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-7257306399221017873?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/7257306399221017873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/03/universiti-kolej-tolong.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/7257306399221017873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/7257306399221017873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/03/universiti-kolej-tolong.html' title='Universiti Kolej TOLONG'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-9220700108437262617</id><published>2009-03-13T14:54:00.009+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-13T17:23:31.705+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Of Jebat, Tuah, Justice and Democracy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SbojzMj3kGI/AAAAAAAAASY/5w6rzGUTfcc/s1600-h/2636755956_6f4e30c507.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SbojzMj3kGI/AAAAAAAAASY/5w6rzGUTfcc/s400/2636755956_6f4e30c507.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312598072888889442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any Malaysian born in Malaysia would know of the legend of Hang Tuah regardless of any race. The tale of his battle with Hang Jebat, his non-genetic brother has been retold in many ways but looking at its core, it is still the same. However what makes this story different to many Malaysians is how we depict and interpret the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of the battle was all caused by the unjustified way the Sultan Of Malacca sentenced him to death. He was framed with for having an illicit affair with one of the Sultan's concubines. However he was instead saved and hidden far away by the Bendahara(prime minister). After Jebats treachery, he was granted full amnesty and fought Jebat and finally killed Jebat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way people has symbolized both Tuah and Jebat has both been &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;one-sided&lt;/span&gt;. I find that we have&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; perhaps misunderstood&lt;/span&gt; it in many ways, ranging from why Tuah actually forgo with killing Jebat and to what Jebats idea actually meant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets forget Tuah's quotation 'Takkan Melayu Hilang di Dunia' because I personally think its irrelevant in this matter.&lt;br /&gt;However lets insert Jebats quotation '&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Raja adil raja disembah, raja zalim raja disanggah&lt;/span&gt;' because its plays a huge clue to what was the idea he brought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll put it in numberings to make my arguments easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Was Tuah too loyal in a non-sensible way&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now some people argue that his loyalty was too strong and that he did not see the logic in Jebats eyes. However as a Muslim, perhaps he knew that as Rasulullah is the perfect example, to forgive someone before the person asks for forgiveness instead of his extremely strong loyalty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because if he was loyal then why did he go againts the orders of the Sultan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An extension of this tale was that After the fight, The Sultan ordered his men to tear down, burn and throw the ashes of the house into the sea. Two months later, when a lady of the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; Bendahara retinue gave birth to Jebat's son, the sultan ordered Hang Tuah to throw the baby into the sea as well. Instead, he entrusted the child, Hang Kadim, to the Bendahara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This tale however contradicts the prospect looked upon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if he was that loyal, then wouldn't he have killed himself when the Sultan sentenced him to death instead of hide?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that perhaps it wasn't his loyalty but justice that drove him to kill Jebat. Perhaps he knew that after Jebats act of killing so many palace maids his cause has wavered. And to this, justice needed to be brought upon him as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.Jebat, The Father of Malaysian Democracy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okayy, going back to his quote, Raja adil raja disembah, raja zalim raja disanggah&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;,  &lt;/span&gt;did he really fought for democracy? Was it the idea of democracy that he brought?  or Was it the idea of justice towards all? and What he fought for was actually simple justice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being a Muslim, I felt that democracy was not what he meant when he uttered those words.That sentence &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;could have been simply applied towards any form of governence in the world.&lt;/span&gt; Democracy has not been the strongest system created, or the most justified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the actual proof that he meant democracy? He never mentioned in any way for people to vote for him to replace the Sultan. And he never mentioned in anyway of their rights towards determining the rulers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What he mentioned was that we should follow a just ruler and not follow(or mengenepikan) and unjust ruler.  It was that simple. I find no reason what so ever for democracy to butt in.&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't democracy that he fought for, it was justice for all, even rulers.  It was simple justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.Was the killing of Jebat Justified?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is simple, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;YES&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;You see, though Jebat has the correct idea, his methods were wrong. As a Muslim, he shouldve know that himself than to kill the palace maids and divulge himself in merrymaking instead of preaching and continuing his idealism of justice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes he had a choice. Every one has a choice. Even when you are againts the self-proclaimed human god you still have a choice.&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays, it takes a dead reporter for us to realize and fight for the freedom of press.&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays, it takes a dead little girl for us to realise and fight for peace.&lt;br /&gt;If he believed that justice was on his side, he himself would not commit such foul acts of murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Its a simple question of willing to stick the objectives that you put forth, not treachery or loyalty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion&lt;br /&gt;I just think we think too complex in an inappopriate manner. That we divulge ourselves in the ideas that we like, we fail to see the gyst of ones actions and words. We seem to apply what our beliefs are in storys where it doesn't relate. There are many things in life which are complex, but this is not one of them. This was simple, justice gone wrong, a man who knew what had to be done, and he though loyal, knew his limits. We see things that we want to see and when we don't, we push for those things to appear when at the same time, we fail to realize the negative implications of it. For me, Tuah did the right thing, and Jebat was wrong, not in his idea, but in his reactiosn and for it, he had to face the consequence. His killings does not justify Tuah's alleged murder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But again, thats my idea je kan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But remember that let it be Jebat or Tuah, they were both heroes who should be sought for inspiration, patriotism and idealism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were both men who were loyal and loving towards each other, brothers but alass as one is clouded in his actions, the other did what was only justified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that Jebat asked for forgiveness when he died. That he was redeemed. And that Justice, is for all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-9220700108437262617?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/9220700108437262617/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/03/of-jebat-tuah-justice-and-democracy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/9220700108437262617'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/9220700108437262617'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/03/of-jebat-tuah-justice-and-democracy.html' title='Of Jebat, Tuah, Justice and Democracy'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SbojzMj3kGI/AAAAAAAAASY/5w6rzGUTfcc/s72-c/2636755956_6f4e30c507.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-1272075446041163226</id><published>2009-03-13T02:24:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-13T02:25:18.722+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dan Quayle</title><content type='html'>Argh sorry guys don't have much time nowadays lah for writing anything but here's something for you all to watch and enjoy.

Well I was surprised at how stupid it sounded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Minyak Hak Rakyat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;And now as the 'rakyat' of Malaysia I feel ashamed at how astoundingly stupid some of us can get over time. Okay so I'm not a worker yet and so I don't know how it feels to be paying for petrol and diesels for my car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But one thing that yet I can't understand is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;how can oil be our rights&lt;/span&gt; whereas &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;we do nothing&lt;/span&gt; to sustain the cost, the burden, the worker wages and much more. It's not like the taxes that we pay are used to sustain for the Petronas oil rigs and the business it does with exporting oil.  Whereas they( I don't know which idiot) would say that oil is the citizens rights, I would agree to say that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;oil is the markets rights&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is oil the markets rights? Because as the currency can only be manipulated through printing of money itself, so is that oil is controlled through the market prices. We can't actually go on about ranting on how expensive oil is when the market demands it so. And the market demands it so because the production of oil is decreasing. Matthew Simmons insisted that we are actually at the peak production of oil and after this we're going down a bull slope. And this effects the oil industry's market when oil shortages occurs. Prices increases and definitely the 'rakyat' wouldn't be happy! And what happens after that? Another series of protest and the government would again have to subsidies the oil prices. And is subsidisation the way we want to go whereas any economist knows that this way the rich are taking advantage while we're still struggling!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not tryng to fight for the government here, what I am tryng to do is to correct the perception that we are having. Isn't it obvious that statements like&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Minyak Hak Rakyat is a political sentiment&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do we need some cool kick-ass world idol to tell us that? Or can we just sit down relax and think properly?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fear that as a citizen of Malaysia we are being toyed around by the politicians who takes advantage of situations where thinking needs to be done before actions. And it shall take its toll when the financial statements and budgets are negatively affected and shows an unfavourable result. Whereas our taxes are not as high as country in Europe where it reaches to even 45% of their wages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not a rich bit*h but I know better than to think like an uneducated person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-5504539456321769851?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/5504539456321769851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/03/minyak-bukan-hak-rakyat.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/5504539456321769851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/5504539456321769851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/03/minyak-bukan-hak-rakyat.html' title='Minyak Bukan Hak Rakyat'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-7553415402549154935</id><published>2009-03-09T00:27:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T00:51:34.385+08:00</updated><title type='text'>SimCity 4</title><content type='html'>I have had a new point of view, a consciousness towards the workings of an administration and management&lt;br /&gt;-- by a game!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, they say that games has been a bane, a back step on human progress. We may notice that with years gameplays and graphics has and will enhance. However, what we have failed to notice that whereas these fields progress, the aim can also progress towards benefitting us itself in ways other than relaxation and anger management.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started playing &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;SimCity 4&lt;/span&gt; the other day and wow, I guess it really made me rethink all the way. I know that managing a city isn't easy. But the fact is, I was wrong. It's hard, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;very hard&lt;/span&gt;. Where you think that your giving people free education to make the citizens smarter, you have to look at your budget and ensure the financial statement is happy. It's not always you can make a welfare state and not have bad implications. Costs are huge burdens where you would have to replace it another way. And why do you need to? Well you want to make investments in other sectors. Plotting lands for commercial and industrial uses where money are of huge concerns. Plotting the land itself can be very costly and then there's the matter of time for investors to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, there are no hints or tricks on managing a city or country.It's all on thinking. Taxes can burden you by halting commercial, residential, and industrial increase but if there's no taxes then how are you suppose to make profit? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Profit&lt;/span&gt; is the core of it. Okay I'm beginning to sound like a capitalist but it's true. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;If you don't have profit then you have loss&lt;/span&gt;. If you have losses then  you budget shrinks. And without any profit it shrinks all the way until you have to fork out loans and increase taxes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I guess I was wrong all these while. Running a country isn't easy and I guess we all have been looking the wrong way. We expect too much as citizens and when what we want are not achieve, we start the blame game and come out with conclusions of our own where the product is not certain. And it is in these cases that uncertain investments and ways are simply unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that we get angry and start protesting everywhere saying the administration should be giving cheaper oil prices and etc etc where we ourselves are not knowledgeable enough in those areas. We talk like Aristotle and Plate while we forget that they say because of their knowledge, not just their belief and ideas. Their ideas are born through their knowledge. It does not go the other way. When it does its called &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"&gt;third world thinking&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that does not mean I'm on the goverment side. Because somewhere along the lines, our leaders has implimented cronism, bribary and unjustified methods of governing! And this is what weakens our country! I shall blog more later on that issue. Heh, I don't feel like vacationing in the ISA detention( if you get what I mean)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha, trylah SimCity 4!

For those who are interested in reading it, here's the link &gt;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2008/nea/119117.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, as you read down the report can actually be concluded normal. I mean, its a human rights report, what do you expect? Everything flowery or everything evil?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, what can be questioned is how they justify the attack on Gaza. Infact, there was &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;absolutely no mention of all the innocent number of war victims of the attack late 2008!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So one can doubt the effectiveness of the report by the U.S Department of State ;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was also no mention of the Geneva Convention humanitarian laws and how most of the laws made to protect the war victims were broken. Moreover, the most important parts which should be addressed in the report as it effects the innocent civillians right for a better life such as the border, the shelling of the Gaza underground tunnels and the decrease of aid trucks for the Palestinians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is crystal clear la weyh, that America is siding with Israel in that matter. The &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;international police&lt;/span&gt; are the servants of Israel. Proof has emerged recently &lt;br /&gt;1.the call to Bush&lt;br /&gt;2.Obama's lack of action&lt;br /&gt;3.The 2008 Human Rights report&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world community &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;cannot rely on the U.S&lt;/span&gt; to take action as they are not able and strong enough to carry out justice in the world, especially to Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please ah, just because Obama is in power now does not mean that it would stop. Even his party was funded by Israel families. As far as I know, He might just be another servant of the Israel.

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:. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A loner is a loner and a single is a single. Both aspects are very much different.&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However we can't deny one last thing that the term single isn't exactly suitable, it is BACHELORS or BACHELORETTES.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;They are as below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.You shall never get guilty looking at other opposite sex with delicious hot body&lt;br /&gt;2.You would not need to buy expensive gifts to your mate and get pissed when he or she gives it back&lt;br /&gt;3.You get to save money and prepare for the impending financial crisis and inflation&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;5.You don't get scolding by the opposite sex just because you did something small&lt;br /&gt;6.You won't need to worry of what your mate thinks&lt;br /&gt;7.You would get to spend more time with friends&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND FYI, we have been in relationships so we know what we're talking about!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please and thank you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-3684123282055671644?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/3684123282055671644/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/joys-of-singles.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3684123282055671644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3684123282055671644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/joys-of-singles.html' title='The Joys of Singles'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-8211615741848760691</id><published>2009-02-11T16:30:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-11T16:36:12.199+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gladys Knight</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's Gladys Knight!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(normally she would be paired up with The Pips as her back up male singers but in this song no) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nXWYsWvdVVc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nXWYsWvdVVc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sedap kan?

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

Happy here happy there yada yada peace yay! Bet that was what you expected huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever war happens, the most difficult part survival. We can't deny that, you don't survive, you die. Simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what is the next hardest thing when something bad happens? Is it about counter-attacking the problem? or is it finding a cure?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Economy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infrastructure:&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By disregarding the aspect importance in infrastructure, any volunteer or peace loves is still denying rights of a normal life towards &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll write about their lives in another post as it might be very long.Thank you and to be continued!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-342046256493925613?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/342046256493925613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/effects-of-war-in-gaza.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/342046256493925613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/342046256493925613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/effects-of-war-in-gaza.html' title='The Effects Of War in Gaza'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-3203019078534180504</id><published>2009-02-07T15:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T15:31:47.110+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cut Scene of Roxanne</title><content type='html'>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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But was anyone there to hear?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From behind she heard the lock of her door opened and the knob turned.

Not stopping at their antics of war, they now shifts their attention towards terrorizing volunteer efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now everyone feels better and this gives Israel the chance, the opportunity to strike again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they did let a few in. Yay, Israel are goooood. Honestly? Screw that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compared to the thousand of Gazaans, what does a few truckloads of food able to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The war may have been announced over, but does that mean the issues are over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now another arises, and do we still need a dead innocent man, a journalist or a volunteer worker to make us realize it?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-6902141590931917452?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/6902141590931917452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-issue-in-gaza-our-v-rights.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6902141590931917452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6902141590931917452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-issue-in-gaza-our-v-rights.html' title='The New Issue in Gaza, Our V-Rights'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-6573953026016701860</id><published>2009-02-06T23:41:00.009+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T17:55:18.252+08:00</updated><title type='text'>HEY CHECK OUT IT'S VIOLET WARDROBE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SYxb_PerEbI/AAAAAAAAANw/qe4rEdvAfhQ/s1600-h/vw.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SYxb_PerEbI/AAAAAAAAANw/qe4rEdvAfhQ/s320/vw.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299712003553300914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HEY EVERYONE!

Why pork you wonder? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of them think i would get angry every single time they mention pork. Sometimes my friends would ask me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"hey sorry ah. You wouldn't mind right? "&lt;br /&gt;   " Haha! It's okaylah! It's just pork meat. Don't worry" :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah just wanted to make a small point :). Malaysia is cool and more is it's diverse range of races!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-3022569597409664907?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/3022569597409664907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/poork-meat-nyummy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3022569597409664907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3022569597409664907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/02/poork-meat-nyummy.html' title='POORK MEAT NYUMMY!'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-4289680082437177569</id><published>2009-02-03T11:11:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-03T11:25:34.969+08:00</updated><title type='text'>My Music</title><content type='html'>Haha Hehe Hoho, okay today i felt like writing about my favourite type of music!&lt;br /&gt;Ahemahem!

His footsteps were heavy and his heart was screaching her name. He was limping againts the wall to gain his steps. His hands were tainted with blood and his cheeks were streaming with tears of madness. And behind him suddenly, &lt;strong&gt;rang a shot&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the year 1854 during the fresh years of Bohemia. Artisans and young men travelling and migrating away from their home far away from the clutches their parents free of politics and embracing the new way of life. A young man from Spain, Carlos Esteviera, travels in hope of finding his true calling as an artist. Hearing of the beauty of the Rio de La Plata and the music of tango, he travels to Buenos Aires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is there he discovers the sinful beauty of Roxanne Garay and how destructive  is seduction. The desire of a man for his beloved. The passion of love between them that grows. But alas the suspicion that led to anger, betrayel and jelousy! And without trust, there is &lt;em&gt;no love&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a tale of trust and love, but when love can be bought or sold, how can there be trust? &lt;em&gt;And when there is no trust, how can there be love?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-2255211690042395085?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/2255211690042395085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/roxanne-prologue.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/2255211690042395085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/2255211690042395085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/roxanne-prologue.html' title='Roxanne Prologue'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-6140169664563565382</id><published>2009-01-30T20:21:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-31T00:45:47.146+08:00</updated><title type='text'>An Economy Darkly</title><content type='html'>The economic bubble has already burst out in America and other western countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is only a matter of time until Malaysia would feel its effect. We can't actually say that as a country which an economic sytem which is less America prone we won't feel much effects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its true that analyst are saying we won't feel much, but how much is this not-much-feeling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.The group of youth are definitely not feeling it. Reason is, we don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.They spend even more weirdly nowadays (remember the post about me going with Fahmi and Nabil to OU? )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.Its a young trend to spend like crazy at shops like Zara and go fashion obsessed such as the new singlet style Top Man shirts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.This is BAD. Simple but really BAD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.We all know that Singapore are retrenching Malaysian workers out of their companies and sending back here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.Its just a matter of time many countries would do so. London has already announced sending Malaysians back here remember?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.Using a professional foreign worker is costly for them and would increase the unemployment rate in their country. Why? simple, if we give jobs in our countries company then our people won't get it. And professional workers are paid much more than normal workers here. We know that foreign workers have quality. The same here , the same in other countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.Malaysia has more than too-high unemployment rates!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.When more Malaysians are sent back, that means the population increases. When population increases, the number of unemployed people increases regardless of professionality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.Therefore the risk are higher for &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; the workers as risk of losing their jobs are too due to competition. Hence, many more people being unemployed cannot be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11.Malaysians are very choosy! They always want good jobs. Never willing to work a bit hard for something small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12.This makes it hard for the parents of youth who doesn't have a job/unemployed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13.Worse is with the way the sellers are going, the prices would just be amounting higher. Dulu Nasi Pattaya 3.50, now 4.50! A RM1.00 difference is very high! And the irony is, the food becomes less. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14.That means consumers are being victimised! Who are the consumers? Us lah pandai!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15.But then with all these problems, the youth seems to be inconsiderate to their parents by spending blindly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16.Now other than the points up there why are they like this? BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS GIVE YOU MONEY AND YOU TAKE IT FOR GRANTED!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17.Youth don't care because no matter what tey will continually be fed with money and doesn't realise whats happening to their parents account book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18.There is no kesedaran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19.If this goes on without any new proper financial management, it will definitely affect the larger community of workers in Malaysia as the constant demand for money becomes higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20.And when parents refuse to give in, the youth starts to rebel and having negative feelings towards the parent hence comes the issue of family problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21.There goes on the never ending cycle of negativity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22.What more is the unemployment rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23.When more people are left unemployed, how else would these people pay for their expenses and such?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24.The task falls on the goverment where they would have to cater for these people whileour funds becomes lesser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25.The irony of this matter however is that our country is not a welfare country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26.In other contries, 52% tax pay cut is imposed upon its people whereas in our countries is much lesser. Bear in mind that their pay is much higher. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27.Where does this money goes to? To the welfare,education and the &lt;em&gt;unemployed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28.Our country and its system however is not designed in that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29.Hence the unemployed would have to resort to other ways. Namely, &lt;strong&gt;crime&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30.Malaysians should not take the economic crisis here too lightly as their youth are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;To be continued&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-6140169664563565382?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/6140169664563565382/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/youth-style-economy-management.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6140169664563565382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6140169664563565382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/youth-style-economy-management.html' title='An Economy Darkly'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-7682480731092155594</id><published>2009-01-29T21:38:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T21:43:14.275+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Peanuts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SYGyXPtSmpI/AAAAAAAAAMo/Cos9zhAisYg/s1600-h/2069750166_040f4d33ea.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 142px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SYGyXPtSmpI/AAAAAAAAAMo/Cos9zhAisYg/s320/2069750166_040f4d33ea.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296710749187644050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its confirmed!

Saddened by this person's thought, i felt oblige to write an article of peace itself and what it means to me rather than writing about the harshness of war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace is first of all an idea. An idealism of men where violence does not exist. It is not, i repeat NOT when violence is absent, when war does not occur. It is more than the absence of war. Peace is never absent nor has it ever happened. It is state of mind as you can say it. Hence firstly, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;peace is the idea&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea of peace in my context refers to the thought, or idea of men, women and children where negativity( or Batil as we Muslims calls it) does not exist. Let us not be confused between the phrase non-existence and absence. Non-existence refers to which something, somewhat, events etc etc does not happen and shall never happen whereas absence however is at state of change. At one time war can happen and at one time one it can stop but at the same time it can be started all over again. I guess you could say that it is a never ending cycle of horrible miseries and nightmares except for this nightmare is happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an event of when war is absent, or no war, peace is still nothing. In those and similar kinds of events, people tend to forget their wishes of peace. The urgency of peace is gone. When people forget it, they find no use of it thinking that they are living in peace where truthfully living in this peace is like a mirage which blinds them until a certain point of time someone gets shot, killed and war is started all over again and then we start to have ideas of peace and yearns for it. However the idea of their common peace is different as it is only associated with that event not occurring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens when it is gone? Is peace achieved and everyone lives happily ever after &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;or&lt;/span&gt; is it absent and we must preserve the idea of peace and yearns for it ever after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace can act in many different and peculiar manners. Most of the time, without us realizing, especially in the current tides of war, we yearn for peace more than ever. Never the less it is good, this is not the exemplary act of peace as this shows how easily people can forget things and to take it into granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When in a situation of war, then starts the existence of peace inside their mind. This is what i interpret peace as. It is an idea. A yearning, a determination towards something that is associated with love, care and passion towards the living. Whereas the peace that is commonly interpreted now is defined commonly as a state in which war is absent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However this idea cannot in any way as to be let off just alone as an idea. It is in this role that the concept of understanding comes into hand. A small idea by itself is fruitless and brings nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To scientists and inventors, an idea is like a small tree. When we want the fruit, we can't just expect for the tree to pop out one fruit. We must cater to the needs of the tree taking care of it. We give it water, we pour the fertilizers and we allow for it to receive sunlight. As time goes by, the tree grows and when it is strong and tall, it will grow out the fruits that we want. Similar to an apple tree, ideas too needs to expand in order to grow out and produce the results wanted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without expanding the idea of peace there can be no ideas of it at all. We can do this by acting against the acts of war,spreading this idea, protesting, boycott and blogging/writing about peace and war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT one very simple way( if your just too lazy to do anything else) is by having &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;faith in the idea of peace&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question here is not if its enough or anything else but is it worth having faith in it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all the destruction, misery and hate around, is having faith in the idea of something that seems impossible worth it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My answer is a &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;thundering yes&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea of peace is not any kind of simple idea. It is an idea which any man can covet but can only be achieved if accepted first. Having faith in the idea of peace is accepting and embracing the idea itself. If the idea is not accepted, then wouldn't it be better if we just get on with it by blowing up Palestine? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not just blow up Malaysia while we're at it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faith in the idea of peace is not a ridicule. Faith is what pushes us in our road to achieve it. The faith in peace is the silence that speaks for many of the victims and the suffered ones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To start fighting the realization of this idea, to make it come true starts with having faith and believing in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fighting towards making an idea come true only makes sense when we actually believe in it. Does it makes sense if we don't even accept and believe in the idea but we still fight for it?&lt;br /&gt;If it does then go check with a psychiatrist. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many say that to have faith in this is a futile attempt let alone to speak for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let it be remembered that in our acceptance of this idea there shall be many who will criticize our faith and beliefs. And we have to accept their existence. We have to muster the courage and continue in our path for in a path as this, we need to have the courage of a soldier. To sacrifice or put at risk our lives and our faces to achieve this is important. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May other critic our views and opinions but never let them waver our faith in it. Peace may have its victories and it takes brave men and women to achieve and spread this idea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As John Lennon once quoted  'Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess all that I'm saying is &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;give peace a chance &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-816570947843609510?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/816570947843609510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/idea-of-peace.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/816570947843609510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/816570947843609510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/idea-of-peace.html' title='The Idea Of Peace'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SYCW4sQ-AzI/AAAAAAAAAMg/evPI3RXkXuc/s72-c/2679030743_1d516045ef.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-2672527648564225050</id><published>2009-01-27T22:30:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T13:21:20.519+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lirik Doa Taubat</title><content type='html'>IN ACCORDANCE TO :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SX8bjcOC1iI/AAAAAAAAALQ/I2Dk4qLYip8/s1600-h/Quran+Logo+2.com.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 124px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SX8bjcOC1iI/AAAAAAAAALQ/I2Dk4qLYip8/s320/Quran+Logo+2.com.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295981982495462946" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  I've decided to post up a few interesting thing's about Islam( my religion ehem ehem). &lt;br /&gt;  Somehow i don't dare much to write about what's in exactly in the Quran cause for me it's just too beautiful and for a person sejahil and unknowledgable of me to write it is not the right thing to do. I wish to one day be able to but it is until I have the right and precise knowledge of the writings of the Quran. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  But seing as this is a good thing to do in blogs, I'll randomnly put up a few post concerning on my religion such as today's Doa Taubat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  You all can choose to just skip this if your not Muslims cause I'm not intending to change anyone's religion or anything at all! Just that I feel better if i can actually do something. I hate feeling useless. And I really like reciting Doa Taubat.

Fahmi ajak teman go buy something for his urm...friend? lol. Hard to say what she is to him. So ajak Nabil also and he bought an MP3! Walaweyh loaded people! &lt;br /&gt;Eh, I didn't buy anything cause tryng to save money now. Fahmi was balddd (or Motte as Indians say it in Tamil), well so was Nabil but I've seen Nabil bald before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well so yeah here's Fahmi's picture as a bald man!! Huahahahoho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SX7-FKbsHvI/AAAAAAAAALI/srkp8VK-3-0/s1600-h/gogol.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rJFpUabGscM/SX7-FKbsHvI/AAAAAAAAALI/srkp8VK-3-0/s320/gogol.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295949576487575282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny kan? xD. Okay fine it's not :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO he bought the second book from the Twilight series..urm..whats it called again...&lt;br /&gt;Ah! &lt;em&gt;Baru Bulan&lt;/em&gt;. Yeah that was it. I had to be thick faced and asked this hot bodied chick if it was the second book! We all talked a bit about our lives expecially theirs in PLKN right now. As usual a bit of girls! Haha and then came back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walowh i tell you ah. Both of them like hot stuff weyh. Nabil has got it going on with this chinese chick but no, they haven't couple yet. It's just that they're friends and they talk a lot together calling the girl with sweet cute names which i can never do. The most i can call another girl other than her name is like urm mostly.....Miss (put girl name here). Nabil sudah maju eh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahmi ah! The playboy hotstuff as usual oh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I think so far I'm like the one most far from falling into a relationship. It's not like I don't like anyone in which case I do but i think that the probability of anything more than not-so-complete stranger kind of relationship is the closest I'll ever get since its also a fact that I'v also seen her once but we do chat but that's not even friendship with a girl so it's kind of a confusing thing with this girl but I'm not that confused just that I'm unsure of what to do cause she is so.. interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haih, the thing woman do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUT I STILL ENJOY BEING SINGLE HOHOHEHE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay yeah so that was it.

It has been announced that the movies Astroboy animated and Dragonball live action ( or Dragonball Evolution)  are coming out this year. Our beloved old characters such as Son Goku, the blue-haired hottie Bulma and perverted Roshi is finally going to star in their own life version. I can't actually express how happy I am knowing that they're going to do a live action version of my most favoured anime last year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But as happy as I am, the westerners and those Hollywood jerks are always up with their antics!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anime and other form of cartoon drawings have always been the Asian pride. It has always been enjoyed by young boys to old ladies. Internationally it has always been recognised even faster before Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow. Before there was cool swift kicking choreagraphed martial arts stunts there was the cool addictive image of anime. The legacy of Anime drawings have existed till today where you can see cartoons such as Totally Spies and others who clearly follows anime style drawings. Made famous in Japan where the birth of cartoons such as Captain Tsubasa, Dragonball, Blackjack and Ranma 1/2, the anime frenzy spread far wide even to people half way around the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for us, it seems that the westerners are always the one who seems to hold the larger stick. They buy the rights of these anime series and turns it their way. And when they do so, it is ALWAYS the westerners who potray the pratogonist. They have to always be the hero. It's always them who must be the knight in shining armor, grab the extremely hot Asian chick and have sex on the bed (sometimes not on the bed though) at the end of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They've turned our heritage, our legacy and our stories to theirs where they potray the heroes and the villains are by the Asians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the Journey To The West ( Forbidden Kingdom as they called it), notice how the true hero is the white kid? and it's him who gets the Asian chick? and how Asians always potray the bad dudes? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now comes Dragonball which is like the most awesome, coolest and funny anime to their hand and again another white kid plays our sayang Son Goku. Whats up with that? What is it up with them with just letting an Asian potraying a hero in the anime that's supposed to be OURS at the first hand anyway? Even the name is Japanese and someone actually asked in this site I saw that they never mention Goku was Asian right?  That was really stupid!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not stopping at Goku, now Chi Chi (the heroin and Goku's future wife) is potrayed by a hot Asian chick! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Bulma is potrayed by Emma Rossum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can Justin Chatwin potray Goku lah honestly? I saw the posters and pictures for the movie today, and I was seriously dissapointed by everything. From the start till the bottom. I know that what i was hoping for didn't happen again this time for an Asian movie but i think this is just a bit too much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The potrayal of Americans as heroes and our people as the baddies are really not going to a halt. Even in their movies, where there is a war, other races other than theirs are always potrayed in a discrimanate way where they goody we baddy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, 30 or 40 years back whenever the Red Indians are mentioned, everyone would potray them as people with tomahawks, weird colouring all over the bodies and a pickaxe. Only now when they are in a smaller amount, discriminated, lost some of their culture and land, going as far as losing the America that was rightfully theirs that our liberal conscience tells us that 'Hey maybe they were not that bad right'. Are we going to wait for ourselves to be like that and then baru keluar movies like Dances With Wolves where ironically once again, an American potray the hero (Kevin Costner). May we be aware that liberal conscience is a manipulative and changing aspect and is never permanent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not tryng to say that westerners should not indulge themselves in other cultures. For me thats a good thing and it is through experiencing of cultures can we actually gain understanding among ourselves in a way globalising this world where the issue of money, technology and rapid materialistic development does not come into hand. What I'm tryng to say is there should be a limit where we must be proud and potray our Anime with our own people in it and not Americans potraying a Japanese hero. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is just too much of on-screen discrimination!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.s aiyo, Stephen Chow not going to be Roshi lah weyh, so dissapointed, He would've been perfect for it!! xD. Go Stephen Chow! He's making Kung Fu Hustle 2!

So lets settle the controversy there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i just have to do this cause people makes mistakes sometimes in life too right?&lt;br /&gt;I feel like so going to criticize that Steven Lim person. Wait, I'm not feeling it. I am going to do it! WACHAH! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we go ;D..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haiyo, seriously. How lame and stupid can a person get actually?&lt;br /&gt;It was so obnoxious the way he was so full of pride claiming to be the most handsome guy on earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eh, please ah, I'm telling you all in a very serious manner, even if you take a dog, chop its head off, then put inside the blender, take Edud Ohlmert's vomit and blend it together, take the intipati go give Reynolds to eat it, then force Reynolds to vomit out the stuff back and then mix the concoction with George W.Bush's vomit then put it inside a blender and add in some CJ7's turd then blend it and take whatever is produced freeze it and smack in on Ariel Sharron's (who's dead by the way , i thank you ) and it will still look far super duper awesomely extremely better good looking than that Steven Lim fellow.&lt;br /&gt;Okay that was a bit tad too evil. But being nice is not that much fun anyway right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eheh, so come on. This has really got to be the most lame person who does a website just to showcase their kisses, body and ugly face. I don't really get it or maybe he's just being stupid. Well, look at his face and that smile. It's like some drug yard junky who just got circumcised! You know even Brad Pitt who is like one of the sexiest guy in the world doesn't do such a shameful thing. Heck even our Mr.Sexiest-Guy-The-Year Hugh Jackman doesn't do that. What a thick faced idiot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how come Singaporeans can actually fall for such a person! Memang their Mineral(pee) water already contaminated their brain i think. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay that's all i feel like humiliating him in my blog.

They stop and do nothing whereas before this they act like crusaders marauding against the enemy as if they cant stop. When any critical issue rises, everyone starts worrying and rise up saying whatever this and whatever that. They start fighting for the poor, planning their boycotts and protesting on the streets. But when one small good thing happens, they let their guard down and act as if everything is totally fine! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why am i writing like some kind of a pessimist you might wonder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, remember about the cease fire announced by Israel? Well it happened on Monday and thank Allah it did. The Israel government are currently withdrawing its troops from Gaza and is nearly completion by Wednesday. Hamas too has declared their end of the bargain by announcing their ceasefire. Thank goodness for that too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, people around the world( majority of them) are starting to act as if none of this ever happened. From the start everyone was so against the American government and Israel government, but now? No one is saying anything just because Barack Obama has already been inaugurated yesterday ( congratulations to him) and Israel has finally announced the ceasefire. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This however should not stop any of our feelings to what had happened. The feelings of anger and determination should not waver away from our heart. The western countries and the western blocks should now know and understand that we are not the sorts who will stop at anything let alone a small case of inauguration or ceasefire for when we do so, we are nothing but like a hippo yawning when disturbed and sleeps again when it is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must continue our fight and let the world know of the revolution that is to come. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A revolution that signals the coming of human rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A revolution that signals the ripeness of peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A revolution that signals the condemn of war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a friend of mine has once mention ( and likes to mention)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the sambil lewa attitude stops, the killing can too...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-8587793708175238465?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/8587793708175238465/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/dontstoptilltherainstops.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/8587793708175238465'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/8587793708175238465'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/dontstoptilltherainstops.html' title='DontStopTillTheRainStops'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-9026874357432645139</id><published>2009-01-20T22:49:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-20T23:10:43.819+08:00</updated><title type='text'>SALAM! tak jawab dosa!!</title><content type='html'>Baiklah, pada kali ini saya ingin menulis didalam bahasa kebangsaan kesayangan saya.

Haha, i was reading a blog post from my friend just now and well he was talking about saying sorry and making it sincere and stuff. He talks crap annoyingly a lot so i don't care much about it. I read it cause i was surfing and there swoosh! its his! tadaaa. Like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, what i was surprise though was when he wrote Israel forgiving the Palestinians!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh gosh! I'm so surprised at how humans can be so arrogant and liberal minded. Its clear that he doesn't know of what actually happened in the case of this war which predates back to even 1948. Okay so I'm not a historian myself so what do i know right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well check for yourself what actually happened cause in my opinian the Israel zionist doesn't actually have the rights to forgive Palestine or even ask for forgiveness let alone sit down and negotiate for peace in which the terms would definitely be more in their favour! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Farish A.Noor himself said once in this talk i intended that until Israel has been blown up and left only 10% of its soil, land and population then he would say that it is fair for them to sit together to negotiate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the lesson in this is.....entahla. Saya saja hendak tulis sebab yang dimana saya pun tidak mengetahui! haha, gotcha there eih lad? :P.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually whenever we want to write something we should just check our resources thats all. Please don't write insolent crap. And don't worry I'm not saying anyone is stupid, I'm just saying careful and everyone makes mistake so no fret! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:).

This blog was created with the intentions of exposing the Malaysian thoughts to many in a non-political nor negative manner. We publish writings by ANYONE of any age. We believe that intelligence can come in many forms and not only by age but is rarely heard hence it is our intention to let it be heard. So fellow Malaysians, open up your minds and start typing :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Info&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;We accept writings on any issue. Political and negative issues shall not be attended to and deleted immediately&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone interested in submitting their writings may send it to either&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashman : ash_nightmares@hotmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kong Chia Yew : kchiayew_133@hotmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kongs Semarak Theatre Opening Speech!&lt;/strong&gt; (this is just for fun :P )&lt;br /&gt;Writing has been a communication tool for aeons to overcome one problem, miscommunication. The Kong and Ashamn Theatre Company thus wants to create a platform where intelligentsia (meaning anyone who can call themselves humans) post up postings on anything under the sun that needs to be presented. Any topic except lewd and politicaly malicious ones are allowed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe that we are providing a middle path to those who want their views heard but don't want to get addicted to blogging (because it is exactly that).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let thought transpire through your veins, let imagination fill the crevices of your axons, and let your literacy take flight like a phoenix from the dead :P.

If you were to backstep in general, the Pakatan Rakyat has so called "won" the elections just because the previous goverment has lost 5 states to them. The parliament now holds a bigger number of opposition MP's rather than the previous ones. &lt;br /&gt;It cannot be denied that their victory has proven that the federal Barisan Nasional goverment are now facing a difficult time as the mind set of Malaysian changes. Every now and then you can hear various non-govermental organizations, members of parliament and people alike doing street protest let it be peaceful or not. The voices of the people are now bigger that it ever was since the 1969 racial riots. The citizens of Malaysia are tired of the indescency of the previous administrators who indulge in their special privilige rather than attending to the matters of the peoples concern. Power was abused and justice was abandoned. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of this, the people of Malaysia opted in voting for new and some even way younger politicians as to give them a chance after the previous failed them. Malaysians are now becoming more matured in some ways revolutianizing themselves to become masters of their descisions rather than the previous goverment who has forgotten their path in serving our nation for it is when we say serving the nation, it is serving the people of this land and soil. Hurrah to Malaysians alike!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although good in their intentions, however, the people have inevitably given much confidence to the opposition in addressing matters of the citizens in the parliament giving them the confidence in showing their thoughts and ideas on every issue discussed in the parliament. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this however is giving an unexpected result as the opposition is being more &lt;br /&gt;and more ridiculous in their "crusade". Opposition MP's are unfortunately being more over-confident and VERY anti-establisment in their views. Every single matters discussed and every single idea given are ALWAYS rebutted or refutted by the opposition ket it be good or bad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we understand that it is their duty as to oppose the goverment. Numerous things are different starting form their stands and their views. No surprise in that. However is it really necessary for them to deny even good ideas by the federal goverment? Sometimes theres this immature aspect of politicians. For them the concept is this,( in simple terms ofcourse)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Whatever it is that my enemy says, i hate it, i despise it, and i shall always deny it'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a crystal clear example of anti-establishment. Anti-establisment ( or AE as i prefer writing it cause its really annoying to write it a lot of times) can be put in a way as when one goes againts whatever ,and when i say whatever i mean whatever, it is that another person says, they are againts it, good or bad. This i believe is wrong, stupid and immatured for as a country, the goverment and opposition are suppose to be working together though in a weird in peculiar way. The role of the opposition in the parliament is to oppose the goverment in which their ideas and discisions taken can then be much better. I believe that the opposition is the liberal conscience of the goverment which is good cause only then the Federal goverment can actually make appopriate choices parallalising with the people of Malaysia themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, this role has seem to be forgotten as their mind is working towards anti-establisment. I remembered reading in the News Straits Times this month that when asked upon if PR would be disbanded, a PR member affirmed that because of their component party members ( PAS,PKR and DAP) HATRED towards BN, they would never or could ever be disbanded and it is this aspect which unites the component members. I seriously don't care much about their hatred because I'm an honest political atheist, though it would seem that hatred isn't much a good aspect used even in any &lt;br /&gt;terms remember John Lennon "All We Need is Love"? Haha, anyways back, but this however disturbs me as it seems that they are implying that they will always go againts the federal goverment. Hatred is a huge word if used and clearly politicans should be careful in using it. I'm not saying that they do but I am saying that they might. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is sad to see when a good idea gets shot down just because of unsimilar establishment. Anti-establishment can be seen as an immature side of politics which bring total ruin towards good ideas and options critical to the moment. It becomes &lt;br /&gt;apparent that when such side of politic prevails, Malaysia shall lose out in becoming better. When good ideas or thought are denied, where can there be progress?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the story 'Singapura Dilanggar Todak'? Remember when the boys ideas was ridiculed by the ministers? That is a classic example of AE as the perception of that time was biased againts everyone other than the ideas of the Sultan and ministers. AE people are selfish as they only care about their own ideas and never considerate of others. This is often mirrored in debaters who would never ever agree with the opposing side regardless of anything. If one tells them that &lt;br /&gt;fishes can live in water only, another would say no and comes up with some ridiculous point which most of the time would be convincing. This is if you want to know the most annoying part of debaters. Clear example of anti-establishers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus anti-establishment is not what we need in our leaders. Thats all. Simple.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-3228960442735283612?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/3228960442735283612/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/anti-establishment.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3228960442735283612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3228960442735283612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/anti-establishment.html' title='Anti-Establishment'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-7931653777849927533</id><published>2009-01-18T12:33:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-18T12:47:39.453+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tayangan AtasTarikhs</title><content type='html'>Okay, my eyes feels heavy, Wargames just finished and Matthew Broderick looked quite good looking and less...plumpy than he is now.&lt;br /&gt;Last night i was watching movies till 3.oo AM. Fracture was really good cause the story line felt very original. The way they ended with the case reopened in court opened an eye to how smart the tupai(squirrel) jumps he still falls. Anthony Hopkins can play superbly in cold, intelligent and cool killers. Trust me, you would be really surprised by the way the evidence was lost when it was under their nose and it was them who 'helped' orchestrated everything!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just watched The Bridge to Terabithia and i guess it was nice-lah but i felt really sad when Leslie died. Zooey Deschanal ofcourse looked cute and it was just perfect she playing the role of the hot teacher the small guy likes. Haha. I wasn't happy with Leslie's death though but well, its just a movie right?&lt;br /&gt;Reminded me of Moulin Rouge's ending. Didn't like it too but again, its just a movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways! that Zhariq ah, now I've got to go Giant alone to get a new Internet line andd im so annoyed with children.

I looked at her and while playing around with another small telescope, we talked, all three of us, of things which I can’t remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She uttered something in small anger and he went outside off somewhere else for a while but not before closing the door. She said something to me.&lt;br /&gt;And I told her back “I promise”&lt;br /&gt;                      “Say it like you mean it”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I lift myself up from the chair and went next beside her to the level of her face. She was closing her eyes perhaps sleeping. Clearly she was in her mid twenties and i felt as if i was just 18. I did not know if she was aware of me being there. I looked at her face. I took one last look and moved closer to her lips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I promise you” and kissed her to only wake up in reality once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of those people are those that I know, but I do wish I'll get to see her face again.

This is ofcourse is something that does not come as a surprise knowig that afterall Isarel has ignored 30+ UN warnings before. The defiance of Israel has come as a sign of its arrogance and pride in this war. Its determination to complete this invasion shall bring nothing but death and destruction that has been tirelessly done by the Palestinians who are tryng to rebuild back their lives ever since 2006 when the ceasefire was agreed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Now, some of you might still think that Hamas should not have fired those rockets to Israel eventhough their 6 men was killed. But did you know that the rocket fire was not meant to hurt/kill anyone which IT DID NOT. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Infact if you were to watch CNN you'll fine out that the rocket fire was fired and it hit the house of an illegal immigrant old woman which it only went through and made a hole lets say.........with a radius of 6cm? &lt;br /&gt;Heres a joke, want to know what made the old illegal immigrant and the Israel goverment angry? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"They scared my dog"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now where is the rationality and proportionality of their attacks towards the Palestinians in Gaza??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, i personally do not think what is being done is ever going to work, including the BOYCOTTING of western goods. Why not the boycott? simple, our country, and when i say country i mean the goverment and especially its citizens(us) are too much dependant on all their companies. For example, not buying a product would simply not just be boycotting because those millions of Malaysian workers who works with these foreign companies would then have to quit! Now where would they turn to? another local company? our local company does not have the capability nor the resources enough to afford all these worker let alone factory wokrers or office workers! Thats just a simple thought, how about the tax profits that our country has relied heavily on? clearly the profit of Malaysia would be damage and with the economic bubble just waiting to burst , Ya Allah help us! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With my criticism that clearly states my stand, i would like to propose a few ways, (don't know if its okay or not just a few suggestions, if bad do enlighten me, im a learner not a teach keyyyh :] )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Abolish presidential immunity worldwide&lt;br /&gt;2. Abolish the Internatial War Laws and simply label war as a crime&lt;br /&gt;3. The International Humanitarian Law should be revised and made as list of war crimes&lt;br /&gt;4. Charge the president of Israel (Edud Ohlmert) and all of his cabinet with the charge of war as a crime and let Israel commence an immediate general election.The medium of this may be the International Court of Crime (ICC) with the Israel govt. as the accused and UN or OIC the accuser.&lt;br /&gt;5. Sever several major high paying project ties with the United States companies and  offering it to the Palestinian companies as to help them get back on their feet economically.&lt;br /&gt;6. Increasing the number of Palestinian university students in Malaysia&lt;br /&gt;7. Create a close relationship of medical resources and assistance with the Palestinian Ministry of Health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are several ways which i believe will not only help to deter war in the future but also to help the Palestinians as a whole after all the attacks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be continued..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.s sorry i havent blogged bout war for 4 days, was busy with car and all &gt;&lt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-3128861170768790641?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/3128861170768790641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/omfg-ideas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3128861170768790641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/3128861170768790641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/omfg-ideas.html' title='OMFG Ideas!'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-9064796266814910037</id><published>2009-01-10T21:17:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T22:52:04.044+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-9064796266814910037?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/9064796266814910037/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/9064796266814910037'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/9064796266814910037'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-4570537259875263446</id><published>2009-01-10T01:15:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T01:20:27.988+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pub Bar Council</title><content type='html'>Just came back from the forum, ill write bit by bit of what i learned from just now.

This comes as a very surprising and definitely positive move as i myself frankly never thought that Sime Darby would be as so wise and considerate towards the views of the public. It shows that Sime Darby being a semi-goverment company is indeed a reliable company which listens to the public. Since the announcement of intentions, Sime Darby has undergone intense complaints on their efforts towards it. In my opinians its because doing so would only undermine IJN's strength and will as it is one of the only public pride of Malaysia. Even Tun Mahathir himself had admitted the excellence of IJN and how no one complaints about it. Moreover, Sime Darby being a company would probably focus more on money making than the welfare of the people. Prices and cost might increase as their efforst of tryng to increasethe potential of IJN too. This would heavily effect the public as IJN is the only cardiology hospital which the people can afford. So i would like to express gratitude to Sime Darby for their wise action in cancelling their intentions.&lt;br /&gt;You rack yaw! ;P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-5785201355471599355?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/5785201355471599355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/sime-darby-and-ijn.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/5785201355471599355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/5785201355471599355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/sime-darby-and-ijn.html' title='Sime Darby and the IJN'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-1044587293610807172</id><published>2009-01-07T11:31:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-07T11:32:40.978+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bestätigt</title><content type='html'>Finally it has been confirmed. With the release of statements by both Palestenian and Israel spokesperson claiming its replies of attacks to one another which led to todays unfortunate invasion process, Central News Network(CNN) has done a thorough research on what actually happened. As it turned out, it was ,without any doubt since the beginning, the Israels who first broke the ceasefire. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two months ago in November, there was indeed an attack by an Israely raid which took out 6 Palestinian on a tunnel which was suspected being used for kidnapping of Israel soldiers. THAT was what set off the Palestinian rockets. This was taken not only from CNN but other news network such as theeconomist.com and etc etc. Moreover, the Israel sides (two months before the truce ended) started attacking other Palestinian spots and did not lift up the blockade to Gaza. The people in Gaza was left without fuel, medical equipments and even bread necessary for their survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you dont trust what im saying and think its all corny crap please check out Miss Marina Mahathir dated Tuesday January 6th, 2009. &lt;br /&gt;Heres the blogsite &gt;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.rantingsbymm.blogspot.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were to continue listening on the the CNN recordings, you would have noticed what the other man was saying. He said that it was the Israelis right to attack since that tunnel was suspected of kidnapping their soldiers. Well, isn't it weird that an act of suspision can give a country the right to engage in a raid towards a neighbouring country? If that was to be true then may Allah show us the right path cause theres gonna be countless genocide in the world. America might as well engage with attacks againts the whole world considering that they're always suspicious of everyone. Example, remember when North Korea and Iran was going to start using nuclear to generate power? remember how America was suspicious and started threatening everyone? well i don't see South Korea and UK getting blown up now do we? Maybe its all too complicated if you were to back step and remember those so how bout IRAQ? Well wheres the "weapon of mass destruction" gone to? hmm...its interesting how rash humans can be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us learn firmly that suspicion should lead to discussion and further investigation and not hurried attacks. Now the lesson takes its toll as the death of innocent Palestinians rises each mounting second.  What the Israel has been telling are all lies and stupid remarks as to turn the world againts the Palestinians. And then the mentioning of "we had to do it" ? i mean what was that about? I think its seriously even clearer than a crystal that the man who said that regardless even if you put in him in ISA (haha) would agree with Israel attacking Gaza. CNN should have seriously put a person with more sense next time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UN security council should abolish the American govt. veto power(or any veto rights) as it is constantly standing in the way of good will. I am proud with the Malaysian goverment of atleast tryng to do as much as they can to help compared to the other goverments who seems to be doing..hmm...pretty much N-O-T-H-I-N-G as most of them are too scared to jeapordize their outer relations with Israel. Showing off their scaredy cat characteristic however was not the way of their people as people of numerous countries are going on protests againts the invasion which is what is right! I am however surprised though at the silence of the world crusader knight Barack Obama who seems to be saying nothing towards the current crisis. This may give a huge clue to us to what kind of leader he will be. But till then, lets just hope for the best. We should however not take an example of this and act with the proper response as to go againts the invasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats all for now, shall write later more :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashman.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-1044587293610807172?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/1044587293610807172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/besttigt.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/1044587293610807172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/1044587293610807172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/besttigt.html' title='Bestätigt'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-6613987065035982199</id><published>2009-01-06T18:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-06T18:43:54.980+08:00</updated><title type='text'>War Math</title><content type='html'>The second paragraph is credited to Yasmin Ahmad as it is taken from her blog, its an SMS/message sent by her friend Dr.Jemilah from MERCY Malaysia who are currently in Palestein,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As I write this, in the last 15 minutes more than 20 bombs have fallen on Gaza, within the distance I can hear them. We are about 2 km from Palestine, and it is a case of so near and yet so far. Our five trucks are loaded with USD100,000 worth of valuable medicine, surgical sets, and disposable items, including syringes, intravenous infusions and bandages. We will wait till the bombings stop, and once the gate opens, we will try to push the goods through. While the Egyptian border has thankfully allowed aid to go through, the challenge is to wait for trucks from the Palestine side to come and collect the goods. For the past day, they have not been able to collect even life saving goods as Israel continues with land and air assaults. We will try our best and stay till we can assure our aid goes through"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you all know that now Israel has already begun their 10 day scale of attack to so called stop the bombers of the Hamas. Their on-foot soldiers have begun the reign of terror with their MERKAVA main battle tank fast behind them. As you can see from the message above, even the volunteer efforts are being foiled. Is this really just about stopping the rocket fires or is it about Gaza itself? If it is about stopping the rocket fires once and for all then this is quite a heavy counter and a "brilliant" way to do so. But as the war continues and the death toll rises, I myself personally think that it isn't so. Such rocket fires could have been stopped if highlighted n the world news and talks done between the two coutries with ofcourse the monitoring of the UN secretary-general Ban-Ki Moon. Why do the Israel go so far as to destroy innocent lives, bringing terror and raining misery of innocents in Gaza? If put into a mathematical equation, this is as i interprete it lah, what the Israel way of thinking is,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Israel = perhaps lets say 100 innocent Palestinians?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is clearly a wrong interpretation of countering terrorism. In this case itself, Israel has now become terrorist themselves. Death is not accountable with death. To justify the death of our people isnt thru the genocide or killings of many other innocents of the opposing side, but thru talks and intellectual discussions. As much as anyone would hate if they were to lose their loved ones, but death can never be replaced by another death! it is just, &lt;strong&gt;unjustified&lt;/strong&gt;. The International Criminal Court (ICC) should do whatever it is in its power to prosecute the goverment of Israel for its unjustified attacks towards the people of Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats all for now, have to go to Surau for prayers! Please everyone, i don't expect for you to be extremely vocal about this, but every second you laugh, try to  imagine what the children in Gaza is doing. They are as we are humans, they don't deserve whats happening. Please support our movement in opposing the war mongrels Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-6613987065035982199?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/6613987065035982199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/war-math.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6613987065035982199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6613987065035982199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/war-math.html' title='War Math'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-6832564455870840497</id><published>2009-01-05T16:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-05T21:48:29.913+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Baru Buka</title><content type='html'>Today i went to school back to settle some unfinish business and old "debts". Im proud to say that im a Sp-ian now.You see, starting from the past 2 years, Sri Permata has had tremendous changes from many aspect. Let it be its inrastructures to the disciplinary of students till the aptitude of students. The situation before this unfortunately i would have to say was regrettable. The APD room was always messy and the assembly grounds was sweatingly hot! I pity the studenst at block E because it was the worst of all due to the flowery smell which emanare from the near dumpsite. The only place which seems to be clean all the times( excepting the teachers room, office and staffroom) was perhaps the Bilik Kebal. Now this room was one of the only things that was interesting in our school. It houses the test papers for SPM and PMR and every year teachers from other schools would have to come and pick it up here. The cool thing is when a few policemen and that big MISC truck comes and everyone gasp with saliva from their mouth dropping hoping that we can just tak a peek at those papers! but oh well back to story, if simply put it, we SERIOUSLY were regretfully not doing a good job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the past 2 years have been great! With the installation of our new Headmaster Mr.Ong Hock Thye ( kongs 2nd GF after Mahathir :P ) we have had tremendous improvement. Our assembly grounds have been improved with a huge rooftop to cover our heads during sunny days, new paints on our walls, APD room has been cleaned and even the dumpsite now has a its own rooftop! i dont know how that would help, but it seems better now, lets just hope it wont get smelly anymore. Maybe one of the places in the school with the most improvement is the library where the old wooden tables have been replaced with new glass tables and the library card is now operating with technology and no more annoying pictures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can actually go on another few more pharagraph talking about the improvements that we have done, but the purpose im writing this is to thank all my seniors, my friends, my teachers and the staff members for lending in their support and help in achieving all this especially to Mr.Ong. Before i came to this school, i came in with fear of graduating from it, but now, im proud to say i graduated in this school, it'll stay on in my heart and i shall carry a memory of it in my heart forever. Im a proud sripermatian :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.s DONT FORGET TO COME FOR THIS 2008 CHERIATON! ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-6832564455870840497?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/6832564455870840497/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/baru-buka.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6832564455870840497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/6832564455870840497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/baru-buka.html' title='Baru Buka'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-551248912720449325</id><published>2009-01-04T21:42:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-04T21:42:35.039+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Worldwide Failure</title><content type='html'>As of today, the United Nations security council have failed yet again in worldwide history. It's attempt to secure a truce and ceasefire among the two Hamas and Israel side was blocked by the Matured and well intelligent United States. Handsome American deputy ambassador Alejandro Wolff responds "boldly" stating the United States saw no prospect of Hamas abiding by last week's council call for an immediate end to the violence. Therefore, he said, a new statement at this time "would not be adhered to and would have no underpinning for success, would not do credit to the council." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is crystal clear that the present American administration led by the worldwide INFAMOUS George W.Bush is siding with the offensive strike by the Israel Forces. The war which had started ever since 1948 has since swelled up to what we can see today. Israel has pressed that the current attack are merely response to recent rocket fire from Palestinian militants and Palestinians stated that rocket fires were in response to Israel Siege of Gaza strip. Some wonder why is it that the Israelians were not able to protect themseleves from these attacks considering the amount of firepower they have. With a sheer mention of their nuclear (which America is not objecting to considering their objections to other nations having it especially Iran), Israel is one heck of an armed country. And if it happened, why was it never on the world news? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;War is clearly just starting. As of to date, more than 300 death has been recorded with injuries amounting to more just by airstrikes. On-land offense had already been deployed. One can just wonder of how many more casualties that is to come. While you are reading this article and while i'm writing this, children in Gaza are running, fleeing and hiding scared in their own country by which their have born and grown in. In one second a child may lose their parents to Israel militants. Not stopping at that, the Israel militants has also COURAGEOUSLY attacked ambulance and any medical attempts. The prospect of this happening is devastating as this only results to more misery in which the world has been fighting againts. Now, we are people who sit like ducks at one spot playing our computers and listening to Alicia Keys so we can never undertstand what is happening. But what about those innocent childrean and civillians who are being killed by showers of bombs? While you were happily saying Happy New Year to each other and counting firecrackers, those people in Gaza are screaming in pain and terror counting the second before they die. While many in the world say that this new year celebration has been the bomb! but i say, this new year celebration has been the worst. People smiling here and there partying while at another small country, they are crying across the dead bodies of their loved ones. Its sad that we only remember terror when its on the news. Memang betul, Melayu mudah lupa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are the only lives worth caring about are the lives of developed and global countries? As Tun Mahathir has one said, war is about killing people. By killing we are not giving a value towards what life is. And by ALLOWING it, as what the United States are doing, it is even worse that not giving life a value. Only a nation of dogs and pigs would do so. Clearly the concept of law and global unity has failed. War is not the option. If war was the only option, then we are not yet civilised. War is primitive and is not the right option. Anything involved with the elimination of life itself can never be right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people in Gaza cannot defend themselves. The gap between the might of Israel’s F-16 bombers and Apache helicopters, and the Palestinians’ catapulty thing is so ridiculous that to try and portray the situation as between two equal sides requires the imagination of a children’s story writer*. Anyone who would know the Israel forces knows that their let their armory and their weapons of mass destruction are being funded and supplied by America. Which country has the same capability of supplying such firepower than them anyways? Is it really true the reason given by the American goverment? Or is there really a hidden agenda? Is it true that those attacks are just military response or is it that they are making reasons to catalyse an invasion? Clearly with the present administration of the supreme ruler George W.Bush, the worldwide community may never see a brighter future while veto power is abused. Hopefully with Barack Obama's leadership, we may see a change. But it shall only remain a dream until it happens. Maybe it is better for us to try something than rather to just talk and talk all day. Talking can closen world ties and save people, but in this case we need something more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My heart goes to all the people in Gaza and my hatred goes to the whole of Israel and ofcourse deary bushy bushy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by, &lt;br /&gt;Ashman :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( im having something so this is all for today, shall write more when have time ) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**John Francis Lee&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-551248912720449325?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/551248912720449325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/worldwide-failure_04.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/551248912720449325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/551248912720449325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/worldwide-failure_04.html' title='Worldwide Failure'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-72181555891148546</id><published>2009-01-04T21:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-04T21:41:13.559+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Death Norm</title><content type='html'>I turned on my TV set just now to watch the usual tv3 news. Its sad to see the live footage of the killings in Gaza. You could see children mostly being the victims. Lately, it has been them mostly. Its reported that not only are normal buildings are being attacked, so are hospitals and other public places! ICU in hospitals are full of patients who has lost limbs and other injuries by the astrocities of Israel. In wards, the sound of the pulse machine are showing weak signs of hope. Children were crying. You could also see a small girl trembling in todays news. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel stupid and useless, i aint anything, im nothing. While they die, im having fun here. Is this justified?&lt;br /&gt;We should do something, right now, anything. So support the movement to criminalise war, the least that we CAN do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please do visit and give your support, its the least we CAN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://criminalisewar.com/&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2995856959106662467-72181555891148546?l=ash21491.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/feeds/72181555891148546/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/death-norm.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/72181555891148546'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2995856959106662467/posts/default/72181555891148546'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ash21491.blogspot.com/2009/01/death-norm.html' title='Death Norm'/><author><name>Ashman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06761522966213913833</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995856959106662467.post-7963184853277902046</id><published>2009-01-04T15:13:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-04T15:14:25.967+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Newby Nooby</title><content type='html'>Im making this new blog since i want to try starting new with a fresh mind and a not-so-fresh start.
