To all those who send me the Free Tibet and Support Dalai Lama messages:
I’m sorry to disappoint you. Because I support the Chinese government cause.
Not that I am against human rights or all these things. My personal opinion is that the Dalai Lama is incapable of even protecting his own people and was sort of talking bullshit in the media across the globe, far from his own people who are suffering in Tibet. And I am very sure all these rebellion and riot things are of the American CIA creation. Why not? You see what they can do in films.
All the way, Buddhism is always a peaceful religion. And to see the monks involving in this political chaos is so not according to the Buddhism teaching. Heart-wrenching it is.
And to entitle to a very personal opinion, the current Dalai Lama is just a puppet hooked to the hands of Big Uncle Sam to give trouble to the Chinese government and the Olympic event. He is just simply a disgrace who talks crap and do nothing except drinking tea with any CIA Director in a five-star suite and touring around the globe with his millions that CIA sponsored.

Say Tak Nak To Smoking
Very cliche, but still...
The first thing that you do not need in a moody unmotivated morning is the second-hand smoke from smokers.
Conventionally having a breakfast, I am always gutted with people who smoke around me. Why? Read above.
While I always try to have a nice, secluded spot that keeps me away from them, there is always the glitch that you can’t stop people, especially smokers, to come along and sit at the table near you. Call me suey.
Then, the pack started coming out. The lighter lit. And the smoke parading away. This is where I go tulan.
Adding up to the situation, the guy this morning has a lansi face and was bragging in a loud-speaker voice that tenth-floor office staff can hear. Then came the ultimate break-point part. He blew a puff of smoke on my face.
So, I reactively and unintentionally give him cold hard mean stare. One thing that I do not know is that my stare can turn the roaring smoke-puffing lion into a whining pussy.
Apparently, he felt my rage aura and…well…apologized in the most guilty manner that I have ever seen. Being the ever..erhem…forgiving person, I smiled back. You see, he apologized, I will give him credit for that.
But then, the damage is done. Here in the office, I am ever the zombie-looking worker whose aura can diminish the approachable level of mine within the radius of the office parameter.
Moral of the story, smoking kills. It kills everything, including your mood to work.

They Can Outsource Homework on Radio?!
The education world in Malaysia is becoming, albeit at an alarming speed, worrying.
Take this for instance…..
Have you ever come across people who go nationwide on radio to plead/beg desperately to do your assignment for them?
Apparently, this is what happened today on Fly.fm on my way to work.
They got this program call Fix It with the morning crew and a girl e-mailed and wanted her problem fixed.
Her problem? (roughly)
“I got assignments and I cant finish it……I ask one of my coursemate to do some for me for a fee but she refused. She did the assignment for my other coursemates and even my boyfriend but not me. Please can you call her and ask whether she can do this for me?”
She was whining and moaning and complaining all the way. Complaining that there soo many of the assignments lah, her bf got the service but not her lah, its unfair lah, blah blah….
My reaction? (mind the language here)
WTF? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK FOR YOU?! AND YOU ARE FUCKING BEGGING IT ON NATIONAL RADIO?!
I bet that the morning crew felt the same way…but since it is the “Fix It” show and its on national radio and they have to be professional, they called the one that does not want to give the service anyway.
And the bitch who begged just go whining and begging and complaining all over again.
The verdict is, thank god, that the morning crew can’t (rather: its Do Not Want To) fix it.
I was still going WTF on the issue for the next 10 minutes.
It is no doubt an open secret that these things happen. People pay others to do their assignments and all those plagiarism stuff. But this is sure on the next level. Pleading on national radio. ZOMG.
No wonder our education system is all so farked up. No wonder our university rankings are in free-falling mode. No wonder there are so many graduates who can’t even do a single thing right after they graduate. I seriously want to see the Education Minister’s face if he was listening to this.
As one of the SMS-es send into the station put it, “I knew that there is outsourcing in the work environment, but I never knew they can outsource homework too.
Frankly, I’m still feeling disgusted with the bee-yatch that goes national on this.

No Country For Drivers
Penang drivers are deservingly credited as the most skillful (READ: ruthless) drivers in Malaysia. Why?
First of all, they face traffic jams like KL people do. You know that no matter how serene your personality is...deep inside, you are probably screaming: "ARRGH! BASTARD! KNN! CCB! MOVE YOUR FARKED ASS! THE IDIOT BEHIND.... YOU'D BETTER STAY WHERE YOU ARE AND DONT TRY TO GIVE ME YOUR SYMPATHETIC FACE SO I CAN LET YOU OVERTAKE ME!"
Second reason, unlike our KL counter-parts, we have to deal with more bikers. Just so you know, if you are the first car queuing for the lights to turn green, you need to wait for the horde of bikers to move on for at least 2 seconds before its your turn. Evading them is probably the most difficult thing on the road. The fear is there. One tiny prick on them, and they spin 360 degrees X2 right in front of you.
Of course not to mention the very kuai lan drivers who simply poke right in front of you out of no where, the lord of the roads (SPELL: Buses and Lorries)sending their give-me-cross-orelse-i-crush-u message and the tons of potholes that murder your car (and stabbing your heart)numerous times all the way.
No wonder we are the best in cursing and the number one victim to heart attacks.
Anyhow, Berhati-hati di jalan raya.

Off the Map
When asked: “ So what are you studying before you come to work here?”
Obvious answer: “Psychology.”
Various responses that I collected so far:
“Psychology? So you come here to read our minds ar?”
“Psychology ah? What can you do in this company ar?”
“Psychology? Thought they are learned by doctors..”
“Er…so they do have this course huh?”
The above the responses just let me go =________=.
Of course there are more “heart-warming” ones, like…
“Wow..that must be interesting!”
“I was previously in psychology too. Guess you are my junior..haha!”
Apparently, psychology seems to be a big thing yet of little relevance to most of them. Oh well, people are learning, including me.

Along The Way
If you are traveling along the North-South Highway (no more under Semi-Value) from Penang to KL, you can see it in this way:
You departed from a DAP state. Crossed Auto City and after 30 minutes of ride, you come to a small section of PAS state. Moving along, you finally reach DAP-PKR state, where you will cross Taiping, Ipoh, maybe Sg. Siput (and start smirking) and Teluk Intan. Till then, it is time to cross over to a PKR state. Travel for another one hour, you will realize that you have reach the very variable multi-opps.-party of Federal Territory. You've reached your destination.
And come to think of it, you don't quite see the word "BN" when you go along south to KL. Hmm...fascinating.

The Sweetness of Victory
The Tsunami of Change. The Moment of Truth. The Power of People. Makkal Sakti. A new leaf. The Fall of Arrogance. The Rude Awakening. The Mission Impossible. Call it whatever you want to call it, but the reality is: BN is gliding down too smoothly.
With a sudden lost of so many seats and states to the opposition party in one night, the tragedy is unbearable and unexpected. In fact, totally unexpected. Just look at their faces in the media, bet they have to wear prosthetic smiles to face the TV screen.
On the other hand, the sudden sweep of victory occurred in several states for the opposition party. Penang, Perak, Kedah, Kelantan and most amazingly Selangor are all under new governments. The people had awaken. They are tired of injustice and arrogance of the over-confident leaders. So confident that the "nominees" are already scrambling for the CM seat, that they forgot they havent gone into election yet. In the end, all they can do is pack their bags and lick their asses' wounds for at least the coming four years.
19 out of 19. Never is such victory expected in the ever combating and determined party of DAP. Fighting for a change, they swept and left absolutely nothing for their opponents. The people of Penang had spoken. In the new dawn, DAP will lead two (!) states. A new, fresh and significant page in History.
The moral of the story here is...When your nose is pointing too high up into the sky, you cannot see what is under your nose (Read: Arrogance).
The people has spoken. A new era has come.

Just Change EP2
“What do you really want?”
“Prosperity, job prospects, peace and harmony.”
“We don’t have to fight for unity and freedom, because we already had it.”
“Vote for Malaysia. Vote for BN.”
The moment the radio or the TV comes up with the starting word of all the above ads, I either switch it off or change channel. The ads comes up everytime the commercials start rolling. Irritating like damn shit.
How the hell can they get sooo much airtime when other parties got none?
We already had freedom? My arse…
By the way, the song below should be graded as one of the patriotic songs that we once sang during schools assemblies.
Probably the only song that we will sing proudly apart from national and state anthem.

Just Change
The DAP Ceramah and rally at Han Jiang High School is humungous. Humungous as in 60,000 (size of Man U’s Old Trafford) people were there. And to make it looked more like a football match supporters storming the ground, waves of red and white (DAP’s colour) covered the ground. The candidates are really like artistes performing concerts, only that this is free of charge.
With the “big people” of DAP including Lim Kit Siang, his son Lim Guan Eng, Karpal Singh and blogger Jeff Ooi in the scene, there is no doubt the crowd literally gone wild. It is also my first time seeing Jeff Ooi in person and shook his hand.
While the ceramah is going on, rain started to pour down. Normally, people will run helter-skelter for cover, but this is no normal situation. 60 thousand people just won’t budge and the atmosphere was still as great. With two Uncle Lims, Singh and several others barraging the issues of Malaysia and with Jeff Ooi singing (hecan sing and play the guitar!), taunting the BN candidates, especially our worthy CM, Koh Tsu Koon, rounds and rounds of applause are given to them.
A rock concert? A fashion show? No, its DAP Ceramah.
Just look at the crowd. Period.

Jeff Ooi can rock!

60, 000 people. RM123, 000 on-site donations. It ain’t some joke bullshit that we are talking here. The people of Penang is rallying for Change. Let’s hope it will be reflected in the voting period.
