Merdeka?

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

As 31st of August approaches, i think about how much freedon we enjoy as Malaysians.How far have we come as citizens of this land and how far are we away from V2020?

Lets look at some of the ways we have progressed :

i ) We used to drive in the middle of 2 lanes and thinking we have the right of way beacuse we paid the road tax TO –>
    We now drive in the middle of 2 lanes and are convinced we are patriotic beacuse we fly a small lil Malaysian flag on our car

ii) We used to believe everything we read in the papers TO — > 
  We have so many independant sources from the blogosphere that we have come to the point that we don’t know which 1 to trust @_@ ( if you actually get your news from friendster blogs.. i am . . . s p e e c h l e s s . .  )

 

iii) We used to celebrate Merdeka in a grand fashion~ from gathering in crowd-infested places       where people can freely grope you/spray you with fake snow/shower you with their sweat and      then go on a drinking spree while honking in the streets in when the clock strikes  TO –>

gathering in crowd-infested places where people can freely grope
you/spray you with fake             snow/shower you with their sweat and then go on
a drinking spree while honking in the streets in when the clock
strikes minus the loud revving of engines because even the ah bengs feel the pinch of the price increse!

SO… have we progressed as a nation towards the national goal of being a developed country?

Only time will tell…
Patriotism isn’t a one day affair… its an ongoing feeling of love and faithfulness to your country all year round… 24/7….

Buying pirated DVDs from B.Ferringhi is Treason

Not paying back your study loan is Treason

Not watching Puteri Gunung Ledang : The Musical is Treason

Not eating Pg food? its your loss man~

yan,signing off to another mundane 31st * hint*

1 week break..

Friday, August 25th, 2006

I wonder if anybody noticed that i actually had 2 previous entries with the same title? hmm anyway… the last in the series will have to wait cos i’m on break now! Not really a time to chill out la cos got loads of assignments to hand up and also tests waiting when the semester reopens.. but for now… i just wanna kick back and enjoy…

…..Anyway…..

To those who are in USM.. you would know how ridiculous the ‘ pak guards ‘ are in our uni have been very strict of late la.
In my campus, they actually wait at the end of the covered walk-way to catch unscrupulus students who misuse the ‘facilities’ provided to the ‘privilaged’ group of people.

I was one such person.. all i was doing was using the facilities meant for everyone but NOOooo… i got busted…yup.. i got busted by the campus cops @ pak guard for not being 1 of those ‘previlaged’ people.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
So what if i cycled in the covered walkway? am i not a student? do i not pay my fees?

So he comes up to me like a real cop and goes .. ‘ sekarang you mau saman kah? ‘

   and i go        ‘ tak mau lah encik… ‘    

   ’sekarang saya bagi chans sama u lain kali jangan kayuh kat sini lagi ‘

Nobike

* serious.. this sign is on the walk ways on the way to the lecture halls *

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

But when i look back.. i wonder…do we bend the rules when it suits us? or maybe when we dun have to be so mah fan.. we just take a short cut…

Sometimes i wonder is this what Pak Lah meant when he said we have 1st class infrastructure but 3rd class mentality.
Some of us only follow the law when we think ‘ bIg bRo’ isn’t watching… Isnt it so obvious when there’s a presence of a police car on the road.. suddenly everybody becomes ‘ Pemandu contoh ‘

Think about it…

I admit… i was wrong .. heck.. but i cycled under the walk way cos i wanted to get back to my room quickly… but then again.. its no excuse to bend the rules to fit myself rite?

k la.. me is wan go enjoy my weekend liao.. ciaoz

-yan,signing off…… hoping no pak guard sees him as he cycles under the covered walk way  =P

Have you ever (II)…

*Wished you had something so bad that you put all your effort into getting it… but after some time.. you just get that tiny feeling that maybe.. just maybe the thing that you long for isn’t exactly worth the trouble?

Sometimes i do feel that way.. maybe the output of your input just isn’t what you wished it would be… or maybe there’s no output at all… or maybe the output that you get is just intangible… *

Well.. in an unrelated case…

I once wished that i could have 1 kg of fresh salmon to eat.. i mean just 1 slab of red juicy chilled piece of salmon~ c’mon la… who wouldn’t want that rite…. ( rite? … er…. ) or am I the only 1… ( oh no~ !!)

So anyway.. indeed i did chance upon such an occasion as my old time buddy XW was having his 21st bash at SHOGUN… where or what is that?  Its a eat all you can japanese buffet at 1 U…

Skipping most of the details + fotos + stories + jokes +challenges.. i actually ,really , seriously ,confirm-you-ly, no-joking-ly had the chance to eat that 1 kg of salmon that i craved for so long.
I reckon it to something like having THAT once in a life time chance to change-the-course-of-your-destiny kinda event… ok so maybe not la..but its like really there in front of you just waiting for you, calling out your name, tempting you as your tounge begins to get wet from all that salivation…

Did I or didn’t I ….

You’ll have to ask me yourself ya? hehehehe ( except those who were there la of cos)

ok la.. enuff for this entry

-yan,signing off and wishing LXW the best for his 21 years here and many many more to come! God bless

Have you ever…

thought how nice it would be to just lie down in the middle of a huge open field… where the grass is green and slope is gentle. The sky is blue… you can see small puffy clouds… you start to picture what each cloud could be… perhaps a puppy… or a turtle…

A pitcher of ice cold lemonade is by your side… and while you take a sip, you just lie there with your head cushioned by your hands.. staring in to the bright open sky.. without a care in the world… somehow you just feel like you can let go of the things around you… all the troubles … all the concerns… all the responsibilities… sigh…

Imagine all of that… and what could be better… than sharing it with the person closest to your heart… just having a day off to really recharge…

And imagine all of that couldn’t happen ‘cos you’re stuck in a jungle somewhere where there are no rolling hills.. no time to relax.. full of responsibilities.. everything is rushed and the only lemonade you can find is ais limau.. 60cents… 1 puny little limau cut in half…*Swt to the max *

Welcome to USM KKJ!!

yan,signing off … being pessimistic again..
