1Malaysia Email?? Thanks, But No Thanks.

Yes, the government has done it again. Coming up with something which really isn't necessary. And to invest RM50 million just for it? Insane, I'd say. Yup, the government intends to give a free email account to each and every Malaysian aged 18 and above. I have to ask only but one thing. WHY? Apparently, it's a way to give citizens "direct and secure communication with the government". My only way to communicate with the current government is going to be thru the general election and I'm telling them to get out! And to let a company that made a nett loss for 1 year? Unbelievable! I have a feeling this company has some connections with top people in the government so that the government can bail them out of financial constraints using.....wait-for-it....the people's money! I hope it won't turn out that way. If it does, there will be another reason why people are continuously migrating to other countries.

Malaysian Politics Is Full Of Nonsense

Yes, it truly is rubbish. Politicians in Malaysia seem to be more engrossed to find out what other politicians do during their private time instead of serving the people and the nation. I don't know why they keep on wanting to bring one man down for the past decade or so. Is he such a big threat to the government that he has to be brought down by playing dirty?
Another thing that pisses me off is that the powers that be in Malaysia discriminates the minority. It's true. There's no point denying it. The most recent piece of crap in the news is the government seizing Bibles that are in Bahasa Malaysia. Then, they released it but stamped something like "For Christianity only...by order of the Home Minister" or something along those lines. What kind of bullshit is that? Anyone can read the Bible, no matter what language it is. It is up to the readers themselves whether to embrace the religion or not. Besides, Malaysia's Constitution does allow people to practice any religion. It's their basic right anyway. But what the government has done is like treating the Bibles like some sort of drug or WMD. And for goodness sake, don't give excuses like the word "Allah" in the Bahasa Malaysia Bible will "confuse" people. That crap is laughable. Muslims surely know how to differentiate. They aren't stupid, you know?

My Laptop Can Be The Devil!

Hola! I know I haven't been updating much but I'm kinda busy. At the same time, although I'm supposed to be busy I get tempted to use my laptop to go online for Facebook, MSN, Youtube, Soccernet amongst other things. And then there's a few games I do play on my laptop too. Hence, the title of this post. I don't know why I keep procrastinating these past few weeks. It's my freaking final year and in my final semester and I'm slacking so much. TOO MUCH! I'm so easily distracted. I just don't know why. ARRGHH! Emo now. Hate my procrastinating and lazy self. I need some inspiration and motivation to do my work. And I have lots of it.

What's been going on lately? Well, to name a few:
- Annual Dinner ~ Food sucked, organization bad, and Zouk was too packed...with my own uni students. ZzzZzZZ
- Liverpool looks like a shitty team right up until the game against Sunderland where they were surprisingly and amazingly awesome. A case of too little, too late? I hope not.
- MCA chose the wrong guy to lead them...my opinion anyway. Gives all the people that are caught in scandals hope of becoming a leader someday. Who knows? If Tiger Woods was Malaysian, he'd be our Prime Minister. =P
- Reading about a lot of fuss about our Education Ministry hiring foreign teachers in the future to teach Malaysian students how to speak English following their way including accent and all. Seriously?? I feel so sorry for the students that are going to be involved in that crap.
- Realized that there are a lot of "lagu jiwang" on my playlist. I probably need to have some fast-paced or some dance music. A little techno maybe? Haha.

Well, that's all for now. Will TRY my absolute best to do my work without procrastinating. Cheers people! =)

Race, Beyonce & More

First of all, I'd like to state the obvious - Malaysia has some real big problems regarding race relations amongst its people. The main problem is, my country has people from several racial backgrounds and the whole nation grew up thinking there's a "majority" race in this country and that they are entitled to get rights that the "minority" races do not deserve. In my opinion, I believe that there's a need for Malaysian people should be classified as just that - Malaysians. Not Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, Kadazan etc. And I also believe that all of its people should be treated equally. For example, there should be no such thing as quotas for scholarships. Scholarships are meant to provide financial help for the deserving and needy students - meaning that those who excel in their examinations and who are not well-off irrespective of their racial background. I wished that certain Malaysians did not exist, like this person in the video.




I'll refrain myself from using expletives here with regards to the guy in the video. But seriously, he should be thankful he's living in Malaysia because if he was living anywhere else he's sure to be gunned down or chopped into pieces already. Sigh, I wished Malaysians are more like these 2 boys.



On another note, Beyonce decided to "postpone" her concert in Kuala Lumpur.

I'd like to think the so-called postponement is more like a cancellation, which sucks really. I'm not a really a fan of Beyonce but I think she's a talented artist. And I'm sure there are a lot of Beyonce fans in Malaysia. I bet those who bought her concert tickets must be fuming now. No, it's not her fault. It's mainly because of a small bunch of people who are holier-than-thou. You see, Malaysia has some really strict guidelines (being a Muslim nation) for those who want to perform here i.e. minimal skin exposure and not-so-raunchy dance moves. Unfortunately, Beyonce dresses sexily and shakes her hips like there's no tomorrow. I don't blame her. That's the natural way she performs and that's why people love her. But there's always a certain political party who just love to protest any concert that is going to be performed in Malaysia. I think it's pretty much stupid and illogical to deny an artist to perform in front of their own fans. And why the strict guidelines? Why stop artists from doing what they do? Indonesia let her perform in their country, even though it's the nation with the biggest Muslim population. Heck, Indonesia even has Playboy published there!


Anyway, on a less serious matter, I just finished watching Surrogates a few hours ago.

The movie was decent. Not great. 6.5/10 I'd say. But I surely wish that what happens in the movie does not happen in reality because I wouldn't want to see "plastic faces" all over the place. If you see lots of them in a dark street, it'll scare the shit out of you!

I want to watch Sherlock Holmes which is coming out at the end of the year. The trailer looks fairly interesting.

And maybe I should scare myself too with this Thai horror movie - Phobia 2. Trailer looks frightening enough.


Well, that's all for now. Time for me to get some sleep and dream about digital SLR cameras since I can't afford to have one right now. Not before I start working anyway. =P Goodnight!

p.s I'd appreciate some feedback/comments from those who read this blog.
