Not even close to a year after Nurin and now Sharlinie a.k.a Nini and the police has barely even come close to nabbing the culprits. Well they do claim that they have nabbed some suspects but that somehow leaves me doubting as to the authenticity of their suspicions (or the quality of their 'investigations'). It almost looks like they just reeled in some people just for the sake of reeling in somebody to make it appear that they're doing their job.
I'm getting more and more convinced that it is a huge waste of time to tune into our mainstream media. The news and articles you get over the papers are just plain rubbish (international news are taken from the AP wire and Reuters mind you). Everything is fine in the papers - the worst it can get is a 4 paper reporting of a bus crash.
Over some blogs you can see photos of our Prime Minister sleeping during meetings. Things you would not see in a thousand years over your morning daily paper. It's a known secret that corruption is rampant in our country (read goverment). From where I come from - KK, Sabah. Everybody talks about how corrupt this and that is. How the state is supposedly resource rich but is penniless to the core. It's amazing how some leaders can stay in their posts when it is so obvious that they're a joke.
As if it's not enough with ignoramuses running the country we have to deal with agencies going round confiscating literature. The reason: to deter moral hazard and confusion. To whom? Are the higher ups so worried that the masses would grow 'intelligent' that we might start forming our own opinions. Not enough with that, words such as ''Allah'', 'Solat' etc are now unique to Islam only. Reason: the fear of causing 'confusion'. For whom? Our fellow Muslims? Christians? Buddhists? Hindus? Are we Malaysians that easily confused? Then what about the Malay speaking Christians or any other religion that uses those words? Suddenly now it is illegal for them to possess a Malay version of the bible (it has been in use for ages fyi). Then there's the declaration by the Mufti in KK that deems all other non-Islam religious structures illegal. WHOA!.
Now Lingam, recently Hindraf, BERSIH. Speaking of which, I intend to join them for the Yellow Carnival which will be held at Stadium Bukit Jalil on Feb 23. No more street rallies its the stadiums now.
I'm starting to love my country. Partly due to seeing that there are Malaysians that deeply care for the community and for this land that we 'tumpah' darah for. In their light I guess I'm quite late in becoming but better late than never.
Alchemists turn plain metal into gold. If there's that much shit in the country, let's make fertilizer or biofuel or...or...oh I think you get it.
2008 - Just Another Year?
2008. 2008. 2008. 2008.
I've finally written it down - that this year I'll make conscious effort to update this blog of mine constantly (once a week at least).
The office has blocked access to any instant messengers and social network sites as well as most entertainment sites. Thank God there's access to blogs.
It has been almost 2 months into my new job - the Risk Surveyor and it's pretty enjoyable so far. The nature of work will require me to travel quite a bit - it's a 50 in and 50 out job which is all fine by me. I just got my petrol card and parking card in this month as well. Having my expenditure on gas and parking taken out is a BIG thing (at least for me) especially when you're parking around KL where parking rates can go anywhere from RM3.50 to a whopping RM16 per day.
I look forward to the day I start travelling. I've always wanted to see my country - from the fishing villages of terengganu to any nook and cranny of the Mulu Caves. My senior was telling me he has gone to every town in Malaysia - after working as a surveyor for 4 years. I wonder if I can do that in a lesser amount of time.
I'm planning to start committing some time to an NGO - thinking of either the FPA or an orphanage. Hopefully before the first quarter of the year.
Congrats on that new job as a web copywriter Noves! Hope it'll bring you places! :)

Sometimes everything seems overwhelming. Over your head.
Even breathing becomes a hardy task. Today's just one of those days.
Getting ready to face rush hour.
