901: Not A 'Melayu Berpecah' Hot Dog Brand

Let’s face it. Regardless of what the verdict would be on 9th of January, pro-Barisans (especially hardcore Mahathirists) will only believe that Anwar is guilty because otherwise it would make a liar out of their great leader. On the other end pro-Pakatans will only believe that Anwar is innocent because otherwise it would make a liar out of their great leader. Opinions don’t change. You only get more opponents to oppose you and more supporters to support you.

So what’s the point of all the provocative status updates on Facebook?

Oh, that’s right. Opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own. You know it’s the same saying about assholes too, right?

Fine.

And please, stop with all this Melayu berpecah  mantra. To accuse the Malays of being divided simply because many are supporting Pakatan is equivalent to saying that you are guilty of the same thing; that Malays are divided because you are supporting Barisan. It doesn’t make sense, hypocritical, self-defeating and contradicting.

If pro-Pakatans are kuda Anwar, does that make pro-Barisans kuda Najib? Kesian, tak pasal pasal kuda pun ada saham politik.

No, I am not in favor of 901 rally no matter how much pro-Pakatan I am. I have said time and time again that I believe the cause to be bigger than about one man. Bersih rallies were for a national cause. 901 is personal.

Nevertheless, those who will be out on the streets, stay safe. Those who are gonna shoot them off the streets, well, be good.

See you on the other side.

Da'wah: The Story of a Former Christian Youth Minister - Joshua Evans

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (Radi-Allahu 'anhu): The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence, and tell others the stories of Bani Israel (which have been taught to you), for it is not sinful to do so. And whoever tells a lie on me intentionally, will surely take his place in the (Hell) Fire." -- Bukhari Vol. 4 : No. 667

This video was from 2009. It seems to be circling around my circles recently and gaining quite a following. Doing what little I can FOR the cause.

2011: The Year of... Well, THE Year!

I was browsing through old posts in this blog. My first post was on October 2nd, 2006. That was five years ago. I was a very different person.

I looked back to 2005, 2003, 2000, 1998, 1997, 1995, 1993, 1992… each marking significant turning points in my life and in perspective. I grew up, for the better, for worse, yet I grew up nevertheless.

But 2011 will always be THE year.

I lived my lifelong dream. Of that. Thing.

I emptied my EPF account 2 for a bigger pigeon hole, and then suffered half of the year paying for 2 properties.  I know it is odd that a dragon would live like some idiot bird. It's for the greater good.

I bought stuff.

I took another small step towards living debt-free.

I still live on deficit.

Looking forward, I think I’m gonna try writing in Malay for a change. I may suck, but I definitely need to try it out. I have some peculiar ideas in my head. I think I’m gonna try writing a book. Hey, I lived one dream, why can’t I live up to another one?

General Erection Election is almost certain to happen first half of 2012. The way things are in Bolehland, the ruling coalition loses my vote as long as they are more interested in buttholes than fixing the economy and the rampant corruption at virtually every level of governance.

I have a feeling things will not work out so well come 2012. Cost of living, taxes, utility bills and kindergarten fees have gone up. It is going to be the year of the Dragon according to the Chinese. It is going to be Tarmon Gai’don according to the Wheel of Time. And it is going to be the apocalypse according to the Mayans.

There are no coincidences.
