A day in Malaysian life…
Busy. Can’t stress it enough. BUSY. Being commitees for both CARE club and Aikido, both with big events on the same week, fuuh, time for headless-chicken-running.
New semester too. Good news, I passed all my subjects, including ELECTROMAGNETICS.
Was feeling good about myself, if I can pass that, what’s Electronics
2? Muahahaha…. A short semester, this one. Only 7 weeks to digest 3
subjects, two of which has group assignments and presentations,
chicken. Plenty of researching and in-your-face surveys, I believe.
Chicken again.
Oh, yes. Books are out, my faves fantasy series by RAYMOND E. FEIST and sci-fi series by BRIAN HERBERT. Only the price tags are in my way from drooling and swallowing both books. Sigh…
On the national side, I believe there’s a conspiracy afoot in Malaysia,
on that’s designed to discredit us in the eyes of the world. Reading
through last few days newspapers, there’s news of power abuse by our
city councillors (only one? Or are there more?); foreigners killed and
blown up, no less; snatch thieves getting bolder, bad-tempered, and
murderous (watch out, all ye who own handbags and riding motorcycles);
grandmothers and daughters raped by teens and fathers (sheesh, how
depraved can humans get?); etc etc etc. One can only hope we don’t
scare off the tourists in time for our 50th Merdeka next year.
Still, bad apples grow with good ones. Malaysian heroes range from
the common (police personnel helping to change tyres) to the uncommon
(Mohd Sobirol, braving a burning apartment), and many many others who
did not make into the daily newspapers. Syabas to all of you who work
day to day for the common good, no matter how small the deed.
