Dreams…
Old man dream dreams….

Like I have once mentioned, in the universe, some stars make spectacular exits as exploding supernovas, their auras blazing across space. Others simply peter out, becoming what astronomers call dwarfs – faint points of light that slowly go dark.
Of course, we can all choose to offer the same stark choice of outcomes.

We had our dreams … I had mine… but these dreams can dissipate very quickly in the harsh reality of family expectations, economic situations and other circumstances. And so, we had to restructure these dreams, mould them around what was attainable and later mould ourselves to fit into those new dreams.
And many of us did just that.
I am on of those many.
Only thing is, I’m not quite sure what my dreams are.

Dreams are impractical. I had them.
Do I still have them?

Endless Road - JJ Lin

The truth is tearing up my heart
I can't recobnize this place
The endless road without a stop sign
Can't even find a stranger this time
Why am i still holding back my tears
In this loneliness there's nothing to fear
Every chord still seems a wonder
How we could be together
everytime i ask if this would be the last
Why am I still talking to myself
Hoping you will have the keys to my cell
Every song might calm the weather
But it just draws me deeper
How do I get out of this
I think
I never will

A crystal forming in the eye
Maybe this would be the last
The winding path down my face
Till I begin to taste the bitterness inside
Why am i still holding back my tears
In this loneliness there's nothing to fear
Every chord still seems a wonder
How we could be together
everytime i ask if this would be the last
Why am I still talking to myself
Hoping you will have the keys to my cell
Every song might calm the weather
But it just draws me deeper
How do I get out of this
I think
I never will

This is a song i thought was brilliant. And this goes out to all who's celebrating another year of life this month and all who have spare some time reading my blog.

Cheers...

“ When Michael Schumacher became a public figure, he didn’t expect leniency, nor did he demanded any. He simply wasn’t aware that one day he might be in need of some. But then he didn’t know what he is in for…

Eleven years later nothing-and everything- had changed. He was still breaking records- just bigger ones. In 2002, Michael won the Formula One World Championship title for the fifth time, emulating the legendary Juan-Manuel Fangio in the 1950s; an achievement, which no one thought, would ever be repeated.

No one drives like him- so spectacularly, so safely, so cold-bloodedly, so precisely, so immaculately, and yet with so much enjoyment.
They say his is a legend in his own lifetime. A phenomenon. A kind of extra-terrestrial superhero, never letting up his urge to battle it out, to duel, to win. They call him names: Rain God, King of the Road, The Master, Schuminator.

A champion. For many, the greatest ever.

A racer is what he is called in England. This is a title he can understand.”

It would be dreary and deadly if I were to enlighten you on the success my much-loved Formula One team – Ferrari. Some have already openly complained about me writing too much about this guy. Sorry peeps, I love this guy.
Anyhow, they were crowned world champions yesterday thanks to my hero, Michael Schumacher.
For me, he’s more than just a driver, a champion, or a winner. He is a role model and someone I can truly learn from. I’m not saying this because I like him. I’m saying this because I like what I see in him and learn from him. He along with Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and the Ferrari mechanics teaches me something new every time he drives.

“ Ferrari is like a religion which its’ sole belief is to strive for excellence.”

Am I sexist?

There was a time in history where society started questioning about sexual equality. That was the time when women claim that all males are sexist. Women would run around the streets holding banners that say “I can do it too” or “Give Women A Chance” and men would slap their foreheads and roll their eyes. The advancement of our society, our modern society can be quite a droll sometimes. Every woman on the planet wants equality and so the men gave equality to them. You are paid as much as the men if you do the as much as them. You are entitled to your say and opinions just like a man. And, there you have it- equality just like you requested.

Now, that we have the equality we have always fought for, we use it to our full advantage. Why not? We can be CEOs just like men. We can run a thousand miles and swim a thousand rivers just like men. We can join the Olympics. Just like men.
Like I said, we are all equal.

How would it be like IF women…..
Open the door for the men.
Pay for dinner.
Do the hard work when moving to a new town.
Read the map.
Fix the car.

I know it’s not impossible and it is not like no one does things like this, but would you make your girlfriend pay for your meal?
It would only be polite if you (males) paid for dinner and send the gal home wouldn’t it?

I try not to be sexist. For ages, women have fought for sexual equality and they seem to be more and more outspoken about the issue. Men have been there listening to all this and some have been unbelievably supportive.

My personal opinion is that, sexual equality cannot be achieved entirely. And perhaps, it’s not meant to be achieved entirely. We can have equality in opportunity and equality in our rights and freedom of expression. But if you ask me if I’d pay for dinner for my male date, I’d say no.

Like I said, I try not to be sexist. I would like my partner in the future to do all the worrying and thinking and planning for the family. Not that I don’t care or don’t want to,
I’m just not bothered. Women should not be overly dependant on men to fix the car and read the map and men should not be overly dependant on women to do grocery shopping and cleaning the house.


I’m not sexist….
Just pay for my dinner and open the car door. Thank you.

The Pain and Agony Of Being Selected

Dear friends,

My country’s 47th independence day is in a couple of days.
Well …
At 47, Malaysia is relatively young, old enough to know what works best in a multi racial society. The experience behind has taught us that racial harmony is not only a necessary ingredient in building the nation, it is also something that adds character to our land and in our case, a character envied by many other nations. How interesting is it to note that before 1957, the world community was not convinced with our ability to remain peaceful; with a community structure that compromise people of different race, religion and background. But, as nationalism spread, it is not so much of a problem after all. And today, it is the same fundamental that keeps us together as a brave little nation.

Malaysia still has a long way to go before we reach our goals and visions. There are paths still unbeaten, territories unexplored and wealth undiscovered. To fulfill our independence is harder than to gain independence. But with knowledge, faith, courage and unity, we can tackle all challenges. And as true Malaysians, let us put loyalty to the country as a principal guiding force in all our efforts.

The list for the 2004-2005 National Service in Malaysia was out a couple of nights ago and I’m not chosen. However, the reaction of some of my friends that were both chosen and not chosen has never quite failed to amuse me.

“DAMN, I KENA” which literally means ‘Damn, I’m selected’ was one of those funny MSN nicknames.

Mates, I don’t know how it feels like to be selected into such a physically and mentally challenging program but it is my sincerest hope that you get through it all with the “Malaysia Boleh!’ spirit.
There should be neither pain nor agony.
The country needs you.

Cheers.


P/s:
Ang Khian: Be loyal and repay your sins. Cheers.
