Independence Day

 1957 was the year Malaysia gained independence and was thought to be a land filled with natural resources and richness. Sadly look where are we today? Especially among the South East Asian countries, we are quite left behind. Every year on National day, I feel less and less patriotic because of the circumstances and how the country has become. It is already 2024 yet we still get the same news of students who performed well did not get admission to local universities because of the quota system. Our healthcare system is crumbling and government healthcare workers are severely underpaid yet we often boast to be a hub for medical tourism. There is no tolerance for other faiths, but we are expected to show lots of tolerance to the national religion. I still feel very disturbed by loud sounds (not about which religion but any religion that broadcast via speakers in my view is causing noise pollution) in the morning and sometimes I wish we could just be like China where religion can be practiced but spreading it openly is discouraged.

The average Malaysian is also problematic as the majority wants handouts and are lazy. We never protect our land and properties and let outsiders buy lots of the land and properties, I wonder if someday we will become the "outsiders". We love to kaypoh with other people's businesses and display flags of other countries (the watermelon colors) instead of putting up flags of our own country. The war out there has nothing to do with us and better not to take sides. A lot of brainless Malaysian also love the boycott culture which actually hurt their own people in the end. Just because a company is founded by the "enemy" does not mean the employees are part of the "enemy" team. It is just childish and this boycott culture is like a cancer in the country. I am so disappointed that my learned colleagues practice it too and it just puts me off. 

We are also famous for being refugees in Australia or other countries, and I recalled how offended I felt to be detained a moment for further questioning when I visited Australia. It made me feel "why must I be born in this country?". Oh yeah speaking about that, I am so disgusted by how the Olympic games have banned Russia and Belarus from the Olympics just because of ...again war. A war that had nothing to do with commoners who were athletes and look how it impacted their participation. Those who participated had to participate under a name called 'AIN and they are subjected to a lot of restrictions. It is just not fair and I don't see any spirit of sports in this. Why must innocent people made to pay for the actions of their government/ leaders? Seeing how keyboard warriors from Malaysia attacked the Japanese cyclist social media, made me feel extremely embarrassed! Oh, and I found out that Koreans hate us too. So basically we are well-hated by everyone yet we are often wanna-be's of other people's culture and this is just sad. 

I hope in 10 years we can recover a 1MYR to 0.4 SGD at least. Those from the tiny red dot only know how to keep roasting us about the currency and it is really annoying. Also, I hope the government is making tighter rules that are equivalent to their rules when we are visiting their land as some of them seem to forget there are rules and regulations. Although I know they may think they can do everything in Boleh Land. 

Sigh, the Indian citizen that was swallowed by the ground in some famous tourist area in Malaysia is still not found and I heard they dug up a lot of rubbish. See, we are on the news for something bad again! And speaking about rubbish, not sure if our government still allows those so called first country export their rubbish here and treat us like a huge waste bin! I just think that namewee's Fuck Lynas was a memorable one and did help spread awareness on this matter. 

Okay, lots of negativity in this post but sadly it is what it is. Malaysians please do better including me.

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make ...

Pieces of My Shatterd Heart

I miss you, when you laugh, the twinkle in your eye, the shape of your silhouette against the moonlight, the way you concentrate when you drive, and tease me intentionally to make me smile I really miss you~~~~~ I like the time when we went out and it was raining you treated me like an ice cream afraid of me melting shunning me away from the water droplets falling and when I look up to see you I caught you smiling... Drowning in a pool of misery wondering how to change history to diminish my growing worry to seal you in my deepest memory Not having you means not having anything cause you are the one whom i can share everything its you i seek when the rays of dawn comes shinning don't you know that my heart is now shattering? When night comes the missing is unbearable cause its was always the time you are more available yet now even when the curtains of dusk falls I'm l...

Her Dream, His Dream

Once upon-a-time... ...and they lived happily ever after The End I bet most of the fairy tales we hear during our childhood years sounded very similar if not exactly as the statement above. I have always wanted my life to be similar to those story where there's magic, love, eternal happiness and most important of all my very own prince! Please note that prince here refers to life-partner and it does not equal to the average "boyfriend". It's not like I'm going to be seen with a wedding ring and a veil over my head very soon but I do admit, I would really love to get married with my prince as fast as possible so that I can reach the part of the story where " they live happily ever after". However, I learn that in reality, nothing can be as flawless as in the tales which have been the basic foundation of my life. If life has no flaws, earth would have been known as heaven. Even so, life is still beautiful and I learn that for a marriage to ...
