.....

Admit it... 'you're' falling prey into the blogging world as well! The 'you' are not really 'you'... The 'you' I meant here are those who criticised bloggers once... especially before our country's GREAT general election.


One: Bloggers are liars! - Now that 'you' too are blogging, are we suppose to call 'you' a liar too?

Two: Bloggers are not trustworthy! - Are 'you' saying that you too are not t.r.u.s.t.w.o.r.t.h.y?

Three: Bloggers are bias! - Yes.. of course. Bloggers are human too! Are 'you' trying to tell me that the local media are not bias?

Four: Bloggers create stories! - What's the problem with it? We need entertainment too! That reminds me of a common Malay saying, "Siapa yang makan cili, dialah yang merasa pedasnya"


Maybe we are kids, adults, veterans or so. But each of us is gifted with the ability to think. We are able to analyse and to make our preference on which to believe. When we criticised it doesn't mean we are going against 'you'. Nobody loves trouble or war. We criticised because we want things to be better. When no other options are available for us to channel our voices, what's wrong for us and for 'them' to blog? Also, there's another saying in Chinese, '清者自清'. Besides the ability to think, we are also gifted with many other senses whether to see, listen, feel and so on.

P/s: This is purely a random thought I had in my mind. Not meant to offend anyone and if it does, my sincere apology. Also, please re-think about this if you are really offended - Siapa yang makan cili, dialah yang terasa pedasnya.

Those good ole' games!~

Congkak, batu seremban, galah panjang, pepsi cola etc... I happened to see a group of teenagers playing galah panjang in Taman Gelora today. Wow! It must have been almost 15 years since I last played the game and honestly speaking, I miss it.

What is the name of the game we used to play in junior primary school? I remember singing... "...under the rainbow, under the sea bom bom bom, July forever, July for me under forever..." Roughly. And what's for kids today?

Playstation! Be it I, II, III or PSP.

How about those good old marbles - guli? Haha... the colourful gems we used to love and making it as part of our barter system when playing masak-masak.

Those were the days... ^^

Jogging under the drizzle

Wow! I never felt so good ever since... hrm.. well.. there's nothing to compare. Anyway, it was really great to jog under the drizzle. Can't even differentiate which patch was the sweat and which was the drizzle.

It was the chill and soft breeze from the South China Sea. I can't say that it was rejuvenating, but at least, I felt good.

Anyway, about two weeks ago, I noticed that there were Town Council Officers walking around Taman Gelora's jogging track in their blu-ish uniform. Kudos to them! They'd showed that it pays to break the rules! Just imagine, how inconsiderate these people are for riding their motorbike on the jogging track?

First of all, the terrible gas smell that spoils the whole great environment while fellow joggers are enjoying it. Next, they just love to move anti-clockwise then back to clockwise again and it it very annoying! Now, please pay for doing so! Sometimes, please show respect in the sense of when one respect others, one is also respecting oneself. It's not a thing to be done because one will get a certificate proving that one is respectable... it is a value of humanity.

Also.. why would one want to smoke when one is intending to jog or exercise? I am not going againsts smokers, but please be considerate. We are there to enjoy the beautiful environment, exercise, gathering or so but not to be either first or second-hand smoker. How do you feel when you're sleeping at a reasonable sleeping hour and somebody kept playing drum or heavy metal music next to you or next door?
