It's Time To Say Goodbye...





Yes, it's time to say goodbye..

I've had so much fun sharing my thoughts here. Blogger.com has offered me a good platform to broadcast my views and life experiences to all my cyber friends...

I know I did promise to return. If so, why the 'goodbye'? Well, the 'spark' that I need to keep this blog going is not with me. It has left me and I don't know when it will return or if it ever will? I don't know.

I am sorry, but I've decided not to procrastinate on the decision. Right now I am using a simpler alternative, that is the phone application called Dayre. It's more of a diary than anything but an outlet for me to write either way.

Anyhow, I wish my readers all the best in the year 2014!

I Will Be BacK!

Dear all,  I guess the time has come for me to take a sabbatical from blog postings.  I am taking this time to develop new skills in the area of my interest besides spending extended time with family members.  I am truly excited about my choice and really looking forward to the positive benefit of it all.  I promised to come back after establishing myself in the area of my interest and I have faith that I shall come back with renewed energy and zest!  So, wish me well!

When Enough Is Enough!



My beloved country Malaysia is currently making world news again. I would have been proud if it's to mark some major milestones or achievements garnered by our people.

Sadly this is not the case. People the world over are yet again witnessing how the government of my beloved Malaysia is oppressing it's people for their want of a clean and fair election and an end to dirty politics. What we Malaysians want all these while is a better future for it's people.

The recent Bersih 2.0 rally (9th July 2011) organised by a coalition of Malaysian opposition political parties and NGOs saw tens of thousands of Malaysians leaving the comforts of their home and risking getting arrested, facing police brutality, a possible stampede, being shot at with tear gas, water canons and baton charges etc, etc. For you see, Bersih is deemed illegal just because someboday said so. Nevermind that the objective of it's campaign is for a noble cause and in the interest of a brighter future for all Malaysians.

I think overall people have been patient enough and now enough is enough! As Thomas Jefferson, one of the drafters of the US Declaration of Independence, said: “When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

People want to see positive changes and whether the government like it or not, it is high time they step down from their high horses and discard their holier than thou attitude.

I personally see the high handed way our government handled this historic turn of even as a blessing in disguise. For the Bersih movement appears to have successfully rang the wake up call for all Malaysians regardless of race, decree and beliefs to stand united and in doing so, achieved something more monumental than Najib’s hollow 1Malaysia slogan ever will.

I am now beginning to see a ray of hope for Malaysia and it's people and with every account of personal experience shared by these self sacrificing Malaysians, I know we are gaining strength! There's still hope for us!

To share the sentiment of one 'accidental' participant, I include below an account of his story:


p/s - do not let the sacrifices demonstrated by our brave fellow Malaysians go to naught and be in vain!  exercise your right in the next GE!!


A slap in the face for our arrogant PM during his recent visit to UK...

Faith

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe
Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it’s everything in between that makes it all worth living
You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it
Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. You can’t see the future, yet you know it will come; you can’t see the air, yet you continue to breathe
The way to see by Faith is to shut the eye of Reason
Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves
there’s a point in your life when god will bring someone in, at a very unexpected time, that’ll change everything
It is easier to walk on water with faith, than to walk on thin ice with fear
Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see
No one will manufacture a knob without a key, similarly, there won’t be problems without solutions
.
Death
If tears could build a stair way, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again

I think about how much I miss him, and start to feel sorry for myself…..but then I think about all the people who never got the chance to meet him, and I start to feel sorry for them.
Life is a path; Death a destination
Letting go doesnt mean forgetting them.. it means remembering the memories and talking about them, without crying
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone
