Look who's talking now.....?

My sunday morning started out as usual, waking up to the sound of "Eagles - Hotel California".. beautiful. Went downstair for breakfast after washing up. Wondering what is there for me to do today? Maybe i might head to Starbucks again, to pick up some reading.

Before i leave my place, i was manage to chat up with my 81-year-old grandma. To my astonishment, below is our conversation....

Grandma (G) - "did you see the news?"
Pink (P) - "not really, why? what's on tv?"

G: now ah, the "zheng hu" (government) wanna catch ppl who kiss and hug (you can imagine the hand gesture that she was making)..

P: Ah ma ah... that's old news liao lo...

G: ah? "si meh?" (is it?) but how come like that one? ppl wanna hug and kiss also cannot...

P: -_-''' Ah ma ah... they all think ah, what they cannot do, we also cannot do in public...

G: "Ki Siau" (crazy) ah!! "ang mo lang" (westerners) all ma kena tangkap lo...

P: hiyo, ah ma ah... i think all ang mo lang dunwan to come to malaysia liao la...

G: hiyo... now the society more conservative compare to last time. last time alcohol you can get in pasar, now wanna get a beer also like have to smuggle thru kastam.

P: yeah lo, like last time you have party every weekend at your house.. so nice...

G: eh, Ah Ping ah, you wanna learn Tango or not, ah ma teach you... (hehe)

P: wait la, i got time first...

G: Hai... come to think of it, the new ah tau (head/lead/minister) also no use one... coming out will all the stupid rules. See him lembik lembik like that... stand also cannot stand...

(and then she went on commenting about more stuff while i unlock the door for me to go out)





As you can see from the conversation above.. Even my 81-years-old grandma also understand what is it like, to be in a free society. Although we claim that we are in the new age, but most of us still have the mindset of the stoneage.

We cannot continue to give up our rights, just because they think it's not right.

My advice to you, my dear government : " The more rules you have, the more rule breakers you will have" It's common sense... and i desprately hope that you can at least have some of those...

Malaysia?

Before you think, you can take away our basic human rights, I wanna do a shout-out to our real rights in life.

We cry for clean water, basic need for all human beings.

We cry for law to protect us, not to trouble us.

We cry for protection from the government, not extortion from petrol price hike or chicken breast price control.

We cry for perfect harmony among races, not the discrimination among races.

We cry for better service from the civil departments, not longer or extra tea break time.

We cry for better public transport system, not some run down 50 year old bus station that causes traffic jam.

We cry for freedom of speech, we don’t need Karam Singh to report to us, yesterdays’ fabricated news while putting his hand up.

We cry for basic right for food, not mad bird, cow flu or stupid mouth and foot disease to go with them.

We cry for a normal workable policeman, not those fatty that fit just nice in a run-down Kancil.

We cry for better benefits for sportsman and women. Cos we are fed-up to see the 1992 Thomas cup advertisement over and over and over again.

We cry for better education institution. Cos I don’t see Nobel coming to this side of the world. Oppps, sorry. Somebody from Myanmar already got it.

Malaysia?

................

What is this overwhelming feeling? My hands begin to feel numb. My heart begins to weaken. As I begin to close my eyes to end my day, there you are, in front of me.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I can’t feel the space beside me anymore. Is it you? You are around me, right? I know it’s you, I can feel you.

What is this overwhelming feeling? That feeling that always reminds me of your heartbeat. That feeling that urge me to try to reach out, for a person that I think, who is not replaceable.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I know that there’s something I need to do. Things that will put me nearer to your heart. I dare not own it because I don’t want to break it. I just want to be around it, to protect it, and to hold it, until the day I die.

What is this overwhelming feeling? There’s no jealousy, no lust, no envy, no hatred. It’s the pure and innocent joy that we always put together. It’s our laughter, together, to make our jokes complete.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I can’t breathe. I can’t talk, walk nor sit properly. Jumpy but weak leg has made me wonder if I am guilty of a murder. A murder that take away her life. A murder that has also taken away mine.

What is this overwhelming feeling? I can remember all your touches. All your words, and all your kisses. I can remember everything when I am with you. And for eternity, I hope, to keep all the sweet memories, to keep this overwhelming feeling of LOVE.

I may not be with you now. But I have sent over my heart to you. hold it with care, just like the way I am holding yours.



It’s taking over my mind, soul, and it controls my feelings. Never really felt this way before. Her existence has now taken over what I thought I have total control on. We have long held back our feelings and confession comes after a great deal of courage and flaming desire to own one another.

Cheers!! 80's babies

In secondary school, girls go to the library to borrow theirfavourite romance storybook.

In secondary school, girls altered their school skirt to shorten itand guys will go to the school appointed school uniform tailor shopto tailor make their school trousers to the then fashionable "baggypants"!

During primary school days, the teacher will punish you using a rulerto hit your palm.

A bowl of noodles soup cost only 30cent in primary school days.

When you were in primary school, girls like to go to the bookshop tobuy cute stuff such as animal erasers, various shape sharpeners,colourful notebook etc.

Internet? E-mail? What the hell is that?So you thought a decade or more ago, your friends don't have pagersor handphones in school.

CDs? What's that? Cassette tapes were the norm. Movie tickets used tocost less than $5 last time.

You never forget 'Ti Kam'.When exams are over, the board games (e.g Monopoly,Donkey, Transportation Comparison Card) & held ! video games will beall over the class room.

Your favourite sound is the bell!For it's the homemade ice cream man. The cream that tops Haagan Dazs!

And the other peddler you love is the old lady who sells juicy MuahChee and thick olden syrup rolled in a balloon the tip of a chopstickstick.

Another bell is the recess bell, a time to get away from school workand to eat.Another time when there is no bell but all guys will anxiously waitfor it...The PJ (Pendidikan Jasmani), PE time (time for football)

Once was the era whereby ice-cream sticks were valueable items, thencame the paper aircrafts, chalk fights.Some boys made their own guns from wood, and used 'Bacali' as thebullets.Some even used matches to shoot and burn kids'lanterns duringMoonCake Festival.

And your favourite holiday was Lunar New Year! New clothes, Ang Pows,shopping, junk food and family outings!Let's see, the majority of students in universities today were bornin 1987 / 88.... They are called "youth".For them, they have never heard of the song "We are the World, we arethe Children..."

And the "Uptown Girl" they know is by 'West Life'but not 'Billy Joel'.For them, there have always been only one Germany and only oneVietnam.

AIDS exists since they were born.

CD exists since they were born.Michael Jackson is already whitened.John Travolta is always round in shape and they can't imagine howthis fat guy could be a god of dance.

They believe that Spiderman and Incredible Hulk are just new films.They can never imagine a black and white screen for a computer.They never know what is Atari or 'Game & Watch'.They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and theydon't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote control.And they never understand how we can go out without a mobile phonewhen we were in university...

Let's check if we're getting old...

1. You understand what was written above and you smile.

2. Most of your secondary school friends are getting married.

3. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortablywith computer.

4. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.

5. You spend less and less time talking on phone with your friendsdaily.
