Let sing the "Auld Lang Syne"

In few hours, 2010 will be replaced with 2011. And it seems like a custom every new year there will be a new resolution. But this year I decided to just let go of the idea on having a resolution since it just a waste of time. It just adding some pressure to myself apart from the current one I'm having. This year I decided to just let everything go with the flow. Yup, that's the best!

2010, a year full of memories. The good, the bad and not forgetting the ugly. I made friends, I lost friends but that is just part of adulthood. I even pay my taxes as any good citizen will do (terpaksa sebenarnya :p). I do things without regret, well sort of.

I'm hoping that 2011 will be bringing lots of good things. Something I can learn and cherish for a lifetime. Guess all I have to do is wait for what will happen next but for now I'm in the mood of singing this beautiful song. A song often sung during the new year's celebration. Everyone, let sing together now!

Auld Lang Syne (For all times sake)

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine^† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS


Happy New Year and Have a Great Year Ahead!!

Astro yang bengong

This gonna be a short post..I just can't handle this stupidity again and again..I woke up this morning realising that my Astro connection has been disconnected when my nephew started to yell at the top of his lung coz he cannot watch Play House Disney. Realise that I forgot to pay the bill which was due last week..but so quickly when I enter the office, the first thing to do is to pay the bill..I like paying more than the intended amount..everymonth I will pay double just to avoid interruption. So decide to pay RM250. After that try to call ASTRO at 9.30 am to reconnect the line.This is what happened:

9.45 am
Call ASTRO, awek cun angkat..happy coz my nephew can watch his Dibo now..sekali..
"Sorry our officer could not answer your call since it is outside of the operation hour. Please call again during our operation hour from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm. TQ"

I just have one word in mind right now. The one word is:

BULLSHIT!!!

Operation hour ikut waktu Thailand ker apa??

You and Me...We are different

Since we are a small kid, we are told to follow the rule and to obey the elders. We are told to conform with the society or else we are doom for eternity. But whether we believe it or not, the society has becoming to judgmental and sometimes too ridiculous for us to follow. I must say that I am lucky for I have been raised with such a wonderful parent where we are told to follow our heart on what is right and to not be so quick to judge on something. In fact, if we have something that is bothering us, we can always discuss them with our parent. And my parent also told us that parent is not always right. They can make mistake and we are free to tell them that. Coz for them, what is wrong will still be wrong no matter how you try to justify it.

In this society, standing for what is right can be quite challenging at times. I remember one day when a friend of mine try to voice out her concern on something at the office and she ended up being accused as "Jahat". I was shocked coz few of other people know that what she say is right and the sad thing is only few people stood for her when she was called by the management. I lost faith in truth that day. And I still remember how she cried.

Sometimes people say that I am too outspoken. They say that I should control myself when it comes to speak out to the elders, the management or even the authority. And I just don't understand why I was told such thing. Are we not allowed to say the truth anymore or we are so immune to the lies that we can come to accept anything that is shoved down our throat? I've been called "kurang ajar" a few times and so many other name just for telling the truth. Maybe Tom Cruise was right, you just can't handle the truth. Luckily I still have my family and friends that understand what I'm trying to do. I can't accept stupidity or pure lies. I can't accept people stereotyping other people because they don't follow the majority.

Though I have my own set of thoughts, I still respect people's opinion. People who think before they say something and people who are not so quick to jump the gun. This people are people who always check the fact before telling others something. They would not simply say something juast simply because they want to be popular. They are the minority people who still believe in saying the truth. This people is the rarity in today's world.

No matter what it is, we have to always remember that, others might not always agree with what we are trying to say. We can try to make them understand with the facts that we have but we shall not make assumptions coz assumptions only have 50% accuracy and like one of my lecturer always say, 50% is considered as 0% in the research world. If you want to make assumptions, make sure you are 95% accurate or don't make assumption at all. If people don't agree to what we have, then too bad. But we should never force other people to accept our concept coz some people just don't have a clue. No matter what you say, this kind of people will always use what you say against you. So when this happened, keeping quiet is the best thing to do. Take the high road when other people being worshiped for being so low.

Plain Stupid..'nuff said

I never been interested in politic especially Malaysia's politic. However, I did not turn my back from Malaysia's political scenario coz part of my work requires me to deal with the government and answering to the Parliament. If you ask me what did I think about political scenario in Malaysia. I only have one answer in mind. The answer is, Malaysia's politic is bullshit!!

Nowadays, everyone can be a political leader or even a Member of Parliament. You can have Tom, Dick or Harry to run as a MP but they surely have no clue of what MP should do. All they care is to get more money to buy a new house or car (even a new wife, case and point MP from Kinabatangan..hehehe). Sometimes I feel like we have voted a bunch of clowns to represents us in the Parliament. Vulgar words, stupid questions, trivial arguments and discussing petty stuff is what they do when we as the Rakyat pay them to voice out our concerns.

What irks me the most when they try to make the people fights among each other by spreading more lies. For example, this morning my mom received a call from the Opposition Party (alah party yang sibuk nak bagi leader dia jadi PM tuh). They said they wanted to make another census on our family's political stance (heck?? ada ker such thing??). They ask about our opinion on the current administration and all related stuff and my mom is nice enough to entertain them. But suddenly I heard my mum raising her voice. I discovered later that, the person said to my mum that she is stupid for defending the current Government (my mum did say something nice about the Government..hahaha being a government servant that she is)..I was shocked when I heard this coz who are you to tell people they are stupid in the first place. And what is wrong in defending the hand that feed you.?

I also found a flyer today that say our Government is cruel and heartless because they keep increasing the petrol price and all necessary items. I was shocked this happened at the place where I stay. Fyi, I live in Putrajaya where 95% that stays here are government servant. Reading this flyer which I can safely assume that it was made by a government servant, really annoyed me. Don't get me wrong, I was pretty upset when Government increase the petrol prices. I am a driver and my car need petrol to move. But I'm not going solely blame the Government for it. I am big enough to understand the reason behind the increase. If you not happy with the price, use public transportation, like I did. But don't go spreading lies just to achieve your dirty political target. Do you think that changing the Government can make the petrol price go down?? And for you, yes you the person who made the flyer, if the Government is so heartless like you say, why did you keep staying at the Government quarters. Why bite the hand that feeds you? Why don't you go and work with you beloved leader and ask him to give you a free house.

I did not support the Government or the Opposition. For me, when you are wrong then you are wrong. If we want to see Malaysia moving forward either economically or politically, we should start looking for MPs or someone suitable to represent us, not some bunch of cry babies or big fat cow that we have now. Start looking for someone who really care. If we have that kind of a leader, I might believed in politic again. Maybe I'll go to register myself as a voter. Until then, I will just sit in a corner and just wait and see of another drama in the Parliament. Hey, its like watching a free comedy. All you need is popcorn and can of Coke.
