Merdeka

 To My Beloved Malaysia,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
You have existed for more than half a century and certainly you have come a long way. You have experienced both pain and joy, tears and blood and I can ensure it will not stop. You will continue to enjoy peace and hapiness but at the same time suffering and dispute will come hunting after you. But you are not alone, for your people will stand by you. Ignore the cowardly and foolish few, there are may who will stand by you even in the face of oblivion. There is however one problem My Dear Malaysia, there are some cockroaches who are attempting to divide your people. They pass racist remarks, ignite the hatred within the hearts of your people and worst of all they think that their actions are great. They think that by doing this, makes them heroes. My Dear Malaysia, cockroaches are not hard to find. You can first find them in political parties, Government or opposition. True the government may be racist in some ways but the oppostion cannot be excluded from the equation in contrast to popular belief. They feed on this hatred and use it for their own political purposes. Can we allow either factions to affect our unity? I think NOT! Malaysians are awesome! We are strong and proud! We are numerous! We can make the world tremble beneath us if WE ARE UNITED!!! It is time to stop pointing fingers and find out who is truly racist. Its time for developement,  time for progress,  time to dominate ! My Dear Malaysia, I believe that if your people can work together as a brotherhood, without giving a damn whether they are Chinese,Malay,Indian or Orang Asli ,then the world is in your hands for you have the brains of dozens of races working together towards a common goal. It is not easy but it has to begin. Someone has to lead the charge.
My dear Malaysia, do not worry. You have an army of mighty Malaysian, united under one flag ,the JALUR GEMILANG and they will fight for your honour and glory. Finally My Dear Malaysia, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!
                                                                                                           Your Sincerely,
                                                                                                           PROUD MALAYSIAN CITIZEN

A dream that will change me forever

I had a dream last night and i was a scary one. I dreamnt that i was a general for a kingdom i could not remember. Then because of my playfullness i accidentally insulted the kings daughter and was banished from the kingdom. As i was so angry, along with me, i brought long all the cavalry with me and left the kingdom. Now I knew that I had many friends within the kingdom but being honour bounded i has to leave under the kings orders. After a few days I had feeling that something bad had happeneed to my kingdom and I rushed back but only to find it in ruins. I saw my king, his daughter and ll my friends dead. And then I woke up. This dream yo me carried  great message that i had been treating my friends badly. I had made fun of them and abandoned them in their time of need. I cried after the dream, seeing and remembering the faces of my dead friends. And i told myself that this had to stop, because life is short, impermanent and I dont wan to lose my friends because of a silly mistake i made. This post is dedicated to the three of my most specilfriends in Albert House. They re Vincent Kong, Michelle Tan and Janelle Oh. You three are the orld to me, your are all very special to me. You guys were my eyes when i couldnt see, my voice when i could not speak, my wings when I could not fly. You guy changed my life and I will very grateful for that. I do not know whether you all will read this post and know how much you all mean to me. But if you really do, then I am very grateful for this dream is the dream that will change me forever....

Fall Down 7 get up 8

You all maybe wondering what that quote means. That quote came from my idol Dwayne Wade who came back to dominate the basketball world after a dislocated shoulder and a knee surgery. This quote applies to all of us. In life we will fall down but the key to be able to get up and recover ASAP. This may not be easy but somehow it has to be done. Time does not stop for us when e fall down, it does not take pity on us too. Theefore we have to take matters into our own hands and get up and keep going. However that maybe some point in life where we fall and we just cant get up on ou own. That is what family and friends are here for. They help us up when we are down, cheer us up when are depressed, share our pain when we are badly hurt and the most incredible thing is they take pleasure in doing that and do not wish for us to repay them. I can attest to the statement. All my life i ahve been falling down and getting up n my own and I thought that it would work forever, but I was so wrong. When I came to Australia I met frinds who helped me up when i fell, who were willing to hear and understand my story. Friends like Vincent Kong, Lewis Lim, Janelle Oh, Michelle Tan. These friends are irreplacable,priceless. I do not know how my future will work out, but I promise that these friends will live forever in my heart. Fall down 7 get up 8, very true, but someone has to help you in the process

Reviving the dead

Wow I think my blog is dead. Well it is time to resurrect it. I have been in Australia for a few months now and so far you can say that I am loving my life here. Of course with sweet memories come bitter ones too. I will begin witn the sweet memories. Firstly I meet many new friends and I have become very close to some of them. The top of the list is a guy from Hong Kong named Vincent Kong the rest are from Malaysia and just to name a few Yu Kai Liang, Lewis Lim, Michelle Tan , Lee Ziyan, Janelle Oh and Pei Ern. I however will never forget my Ipoh hometwon mates. Tan Yann Fei has been an awesome friend so far, Ng Kar Yen the blur koala who lives opposite of me has made me change my first impression towards her completely, Ivy Loh the quite one is also a nice friend but still the closest to me among those from Ipoh are Bernice Ong(Beckie/Barbara) and Shireen Chow. They have been very good friends and I believe that the Gods have smiled upon me since I came to Australia by blessing me with such friends. These few friends that I have mentioned , we had formed a strong bond may it be through playing captain ball, basketball or even talking cock,and that bond I believe will last hopefully forever. There are also many fantastic people such as Tan Ying, Randall Thong, Louisa Lim , Yu Kai Leun , Benjamin Leong, Matthew, Bon , Felix,Victor Lau. I will miss home but with this friends here I feel like im at home. The time will come when we have to seperate but before that time comes, I will cherish all these momentsand make full use of it because they bringout the best in me. Well, its time for brunch, I will leave the bitter memories for the next post. It looks like I have done my job here, I have revived the dead.

Touch the poor mans hand

My father once told me about about a story of his friend. The man was a malay and he too was a politician, he once asked his mother how can he succedd in his carrier. His mother being poor once, said" son, go and touch as much poor man hands as you can". I am very lucky to be born in a economically stable family and i guess that is why i do not know what it means to be poor, until yesterday. I was following my father around giving away some goods to the poor as this is the festive year. We came across many old houses but one stuck in my mind particularly well. There was this indian women staying with her daughter in a old almost rotten wooden house yet they were joyful to greet us. I was amazed that they were still able to hold on to happiness despite their current dismayal state. I was touched deeply, touched that i altough had a rather comfortable life never knew how appreciate it. I then finally figured one thing out and that is happiness has to be earned, it cannot be bought no one has the ability to buy real hapiness. After getting on the car, i looked back at them, seeing their happy faces holding the angpau  along with some food we gave them really met my day. If I have the chance, I would want to meet the mother of my father's friend and thank her for the simple advice that she gave to her son. I have touched nearly a hundred poor man's hand that day, and I intend to touch more in the future not for the glory, but for the warmness in my heart after touching it.

My dream

A politicians blood runs in my veins. Ever since I was small i always assumed that being a politicians is fun, I thought that politics was only about debate.But as I grew up I began to learn that politics isnt just about debate. It is about the will to help the people, the will to serve and to work hard to improve the nation. Unfortunately, most politicians these days dont share such a view. Only a handful of them knows the true meaning of fighting for the people of this nation. Most of them think that by raising some popular yet non substancial issues, they will win the support of the people, they are terribly wrong. This weak tactic may work for a while but in the long run when the people notice no developement has been carried out, then they will not vote for the guy and the guy will fall. I dream to be a politician, i dream to empower my countrymen and help devolep the country and usher in a new age for Malaysia. An age of peace where we may live in peace together. An age where developing Malaysia is the main goal and not bickering among each other. This isnt impossible as in the future more and more people will understand the importance of racial unity . I must admit that total fairness is impossible because the truth is this country belongs to our Malay friends. I as a chinese know that my roots are from China and I for one will stake my claim to be a bumiputera where in fact im not. The Malays are the true bumiputera's and that is the cold hard fact. However this does not mean that our lives are miserable here. If you ask the older generation, they will tell you that our lives have improved much compared ro last time.We now have benefits from the government such as free textbooks, free first twelve year education and so on. We must not create racial tension just because the other race have somemore benefits than us, and bloodshed is not the solution. Whatever i said up there are the facts,but that doesnt mean that I will not fight for racial equality, its just more time is needed to do such a big task, I love my people but I will not use that love to provoke other races. I will give and get respect and if there is anyone that wants to harm my people i will defend my own with my last drop of blood. However if my people have means to harm other races who are innocent,  I will not stand aside and I will defend the innocent. A politician should be the defender of the people no matter what race the people they serve maybe. I want to be such a politician and when I die, I want every generation past ,present or future to look up to me and say: That guy is the kind of politician that we want, the kind of politician that we need. Many feel frustrated at the present status of the country but they must know that not every ship that sail faces calm waters. They must hold on to fate because things will change all for the better. That is my dream and altough it may not be easy, but someone has to rise to the challenge and I will work hard in hoping that I would be that someone.

Anime

Anime. This word has a different meaning to different people. To some it is just a cartoon, to others it may only be a dumb kids show. To me however, this word brings in a whole new meaning. To me anime is a way of life, it is something that illuminates my life, it has the ability to bring out emotions in me that i have never shown before. I watch anime when im happy, when im sad or feeling emotional knowing full well that it will be there for me till worlds end.To me all the shows are the same, from Slam Dunk to Fate Stay Night they all hold a special place in my heart. I will never stop watching anime,not even when the sky cracks or when the ground splits. Anime and i have formed a bond, a bond so strong that nothing can break it and I believe that your bond will only get stronger because we are one
