The world beneath;

A very good morning dear loyal readers. Over the heat of the "political tsunami"?
Did you think it is that easy to get over the shock?
Or are you still not over it, like that tiny past at the back of your mind, tattooed on you?

The smell of the hash brown here is so yummy, that I actually forgot what I wanted to write.
How do you tell the makcik makcik in the surau who are making ridiculously a lot of noises gossiping about some anak angkat (I'm sorry I ter-eavesdrop) when there are a bunch of us are trying to talk to God? It's so annoying that I got to the point where I wanted to say, "Aunty, ni surau tau, kalau ye nak gossip pun, keluar lah. Suara aunty tu, is amplified more than the men in front."

Haha, unfortunately, my conscience or rather my super-id took over. Biar lah, malu nanti dia, besides, er.. I'm younger. Young kids just don't have any right to tegur the elders, we're inadequate since they are the ones yang makan garam lebih banyak. And I'll be biadab, and jaga tepi kain orang. So yeah, is it the same in other norms?

Let's talk about the political changes. What do you think? Do you stand along with the others who particularly freaked out when BN did not get 2 thirds of the parliament. Some think the bumis would get less privileges. Thats one thing about privileges, they have always been spoon fed until they are afraid to stand on their own.

What ever happened to healthy competition?

You know where you do your best and be mentally challenged by the tension of that "race" or whatever you may call it. That's what I call life, you break, fall and stand on your own. That's when you get to actually APPRECIATE what you lost, collected and gained along the way.

I guess a percentage of Malaysia is just not ready for the change.

Loh Gwo Burne won the Kelana Jaya parliament seat, bringing down Lee Hwa Beng, the guy who brought Subang Jaya up. I'm sorry, it's just the place where I grew up in, and I'm a kid ( No no, I believe baby is the right word) in this political issues but well, I've seen how Subang Jaya has grown. And, LGB actually took his picture with a camera in his hand, HOW CORNY IS THAT. hahahaha! Ok i find it funny really, but I guess all things go.

And the whole V.K Lingam videos are just, well, a path that leads to another. And so that Chua Soi Lek's video. What are with videos anyway? I guess it is really the whole mass communication thing growing. Its a tool. A damn serious tool, to capture happy moments, as well as to bring leaders down.

Oh, and that Hindraf rally?

I think the parties other than BN, yes, DAP, PKR, PAS and all are smart. I think they'd be change. Well that's what this baby thinks. Was never really into politics. But I guess its fun to follow it. And laugh how these leaders scream and shout like monkeys at the Parliament. I like.
Again, by right, I'm not in any position to say anything. Think this will be my first and last post on politics.

And see what's happening on the US politics, did I tell you Hilary Clinton actually appeared in Saturday Night Live?

Maybe Sharizat should do something like that to win her position. HAHAHA.

BUT I SWEAR GILA SMART HILARY KELUAR ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. AND SHE IS THE BLOODY SENATOR OF NY!!

And there's a sex scandal in the US politics.

I guess it is the election season, where all the rats come out of the closet. To bring the party down, or to open the eyes of the citizen? Which stand are you in?

Did I tell you my term papers are still on hold? And my midterms were screwed. I need excellence, not "above average". See what Malaysian norms did to us kids?

So are you bloody ready for the change?

I know most of the Malaysians are, since BN lost most of their seats.

And fundamental attribution error is everywhere. Like this lady next to me, I'm sorry, I can't help but eavesdropping. Anyway, she left her USD at home apparently, so she said "Ganesha was playing with it." See what I mean? A sense of Nietzsche's ubemench?

Oh airports are great places.

Time waster;

I'm suppose to be working my ass for my term paper on the US Government. But well you know, first thing first;

I WISH I COULD WRITE SOMETHING AS BRILLIANT AS THE MARTIAN CHILD

Only because the movie was good! I bet the book is even great at even a larger scale.

Anyhow, I just had something to ask you dear loyal readers;

Imagine you were me. In your black shirt top, and your 3/4 black pants. With your hair tied up in a ponytail, waiting for your meal. When dear Mr Jack went to get the little boxes that would help to satisfy his nicotine quench. Yeah, it was a nice night to eat dinner especially when you take trips down together looking for songs that you grew up with. You know, like "Hey Leonardo" by Blessed Union Souls or "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something. Or maybe the old Mariah Carey and Gwen Stefani. They were awfully good until to the point you are proud you listened to them before. But when you look at them now, well, they're just there. Making new albums, singing new songs.

Anyways, then right at the opposite of you, in a X manner, sits a family of well-educated (religion wise) people. Yes, where the head of family has the 3 black marks that signify their faithful duties as His servants. The ones that most of us religiously fail to fulfill. What do you think I would feel at that very moment, knowing that I was alone at that table.

Nothing? Boy, you're wrong.

Inadequate. Ashame.

ESPECIALLY, when there are 2 young growing teenagers, probably in the age of 15 to 17. Of same religion, of same race. In their Oh-So-Super Shorts and their little spaghetti tank tops. Laughing, sitting with a leg on the chair showing their hair-less thighs. And they are sitting right next to the family I was referring to.

And the family left. I could not do anything but lower my head down, and continue fighting my Ken in Street Fighter on my cell, and lost.

One scene. One question.

Is religion the path you are suppose to commit your life to?
If yes, then why are most of the people I stumbled upon are screwed up. All my life I've been growing up where the idea of pre-marital sex is what the Westerns practice and we Asians, or specifically Muslims are forbid against it. But why when I was at the early stage of teenagers, I realized, it is a rule and rules are meant to be broken.

Then why are we still practicing superstitious beliefs which I guess were inherited by the budaya Hindu many decades ago? And why drinking is such a "cool" and "in" thing?

If no, well, how sure are you? Why are there atheist? I don't know lah.

Oh and the saddest part was, these teens seem to not feel anything. Too caught up in their world I guess? Or maybe it is just the phase they're going through. Or well, maybe it is just a sad case for them then.

I should be thinking about my G****** term paper. Cheers.

Oh, really, watch Martian Child.

Figures of lives.

Close your eyes. Tell me, when you picture your life a few years ahead, where do you see yourself standing? Under the bridge? Living your life to the top or would they all remain as what they are; as dreams?

For the past few weeks, I've been listening to tales of lives. And it made me think, ages would differ in figures. But not just that, it may differ through life experiences. Say, I'm turning 19 this year, and when people say; "You don't act like a 19 year old" its just another line for me, really, I hear that often. I mean, how is a 19 year old suppose to act anyway?

But when you're in your twenties, and probably have several kids; your life would totally change. All of a sudden you have more responsibilities on your shoulder. You look at the world differently, you toil and not live like others in your age do. And you often hope there's a reset button.

And when you were 13, you thought to yourself you were grown enough to think for yourself. To make decisions, and old enough to not order a Happy Meal. But where you stand today, when you glance at a 13 year old, you would say, he/she is still a kid. You make decisions for them, and they rebel.

And you never knew how a 13 year old decision would last until 6 years later, or maybe years years later!

Maybe that is why parents and children do not get along? They still see their kids as their babies. All grown up but yet, still a child.

Well, from a friend, she said it's like a must to move out of your folks' place when you're over 20- that's in the US. You know, live on your own, travel, work or whatever it is. I guess it's fine when you're studying abroad and live without your parents. And after that you graduate and work, and live on your own.

But what happens to the ones that study and live at your folks' home? I mean, in Malaysia really is not a big deal to not leave the house you grew up in. But let me ask you, until when would you depend on your parents? When would you start paying your own rent? When would you really face a financial problem?

At what age are these all suppose to take place?

When would you really stand on your two feet and make decisions of your own life, take charge of it, and be the damn pilot?

Now? 3 years from now?
