Lifted 'lock, stock and barrel' from The Maverick, many thanks to him.

I May Be A Pig But I'm Malaysian Too!
AAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is my country coming to? It's bad enuff when they start passing derogatory remarks about pigs but when they start asking some 'Babi' to 'balik Cina', that's really an insult to all Malaysians.
Why is it that some narrow-minded people think that only people of a certain race can stay behind in this homeland of mine? And that the rest are 'legal immigrants' that can (or should) go back to their ancestor's land?
Come on lah, we are all MALAYSIANS! We were born here just like you did, just like the rest of them, so this is our country too, dammit! Perhaps they need a kick up their butts in order to get them to broaden their minds (which is probably located there, thus the need to kick it!).
See below blogs on what I'm ranting about:
Cakap Tak Serupa Bikin: Local Babi can't balik Cina
Lim Kit Siang » Blog Archive » No, this ‘Babi’ will Not ‘Balik Cina’
I AM MALAYSIAN LAH! And so are YOU! This is our country, whether you like it or not!
It is time this country moved towards its citizens being identified as Malaysians first and foremost, regardless of colour or creed. It might be wishful thinking but I know it can come true. If it took 50 years for a political tsunami to happen, I'm prepared to wait another 50 years for my kids to be able to proudly say they are Malaysians.

It's Time Fot The Olympics
Well well well... it's already four years gone by and the Olympics are back. I would think there will be a lot of people staying at home or hanging around eateries glued to the TV tonight to watch the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Me? I don't think I'll have the time (or chance) to watch it tonight, I've got toddlers to take care of. Maybe I'll try to catch some glimpses of the repeats somewhere sometime somehow.

Tales Of A Cup Of Coffee
I got this piece from a fellow blogger whom I met online recently. It's always inspiring to read the mind of someone so positive about life.
A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversations soon turned into complaints about stress in work and in life.
Wanting to offer his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that in itself is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee."
"In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases, even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups. Then you began eyeing each other's cups."
"Now consider this", said the professor. "Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and positions in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life. The type of cup we have does not define, nor change, the quality of Life that we live. Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us with. So please, enjoy your coffee."
The happiest people don't have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

A Remorse Too Late
When I mentioned yesterday about a girl's eloping plan that went awry, it seems that today the whole thing is purportedly a misunderstanding. It seems the boyfriend met the deceased's parents at the police station and clarified a lot of the misunderstandings.
So it seems he's not an internet buaya after all, that he "really didn't know" why he persuaded the deceased to climb down the building using a raffea string, and that he's not in debt. RIGHT!!!
I still say the same thing. There's a world of difference between virtual and reality, and that our human relationship can be better if we took the chance to get to know one another. This whole thing could have been avoided if all parties didn't hide anything. The deceased need not hide her relationship from her parents, and her parents shouldn't have been so unapproachable to make the daughter be afraid to introduce her boyfriend.
