Relationship - Wine or Yogurt??

Relationships.. its up to the respective individuals to decide whether they want their respective relationships to age like vintage wine or curdle like sour yogurt..

Divorces are on the rise.. and you wonder why.. why is co-existing so difficult.. why is it that men and women date for years and a year after marrying the loves of their lives - decide to part ways.. Would this be expectation or is it just that our tolerant level has gone to the dogs..

Such i am moved to believe that marriages during our parents time was like wine and marriages today have become yogurt or s
oured milk... The mega million question remains, what happened with this generation?

Well moving up the ladder a bit to our neighbours.. how many of us know our neighbours.. bet most of us rather the privacy than some ‘busy-body’ neighbour.. the comradeship that the previous generation had is lost.. even in schools its apparent that the relationships between children of different races is non-existent..

Moving one notch higher to our country.. the state seems to be the same.. soured relationships everywhere.. This continues.. between countries too.. its so apparent that we ally with those who are of the same kind.. for this level of patriotism to our own kind, why cant it be towards humanity.. don’t we all have ruby red coloured blood running through our veins.. or am i deluded??

Just a thought...

The Command of the English Language

For the first time i was at awe when i watched Koffee with Karan last night.. the command of English made me wonder.. these are stars who actually have a good command of the language.. now coming back across the indian ocean to examine our Malaysian stars and their command of the English Language.. well, i think best for me to stop and not venture further.. a handful have excellent command of the language but the rest its at an appalling state..

Let's examine the subtitling instead.. that's gone to the dogs as well.. i wonder if at any point there is quality checks.. half the time the subtitling does not co-relate.. someone told me once.. they only take rejects to do subtitling.. the state of the english language is rotting and we continue to believe that we will be able to build a nation like japan..

Once when i met thisgentleman, he related.. why cant we follow the Japanese.. Has anyone even done a stock take of what we have and how hard they worked to get to where they are.. Are we Malaysians willing to work that hard.. let's ask the majority first.. I believe that what the country is reaping is from a small percentage of people who are willing to work their ass off.. whilst the majority prefer the verbal diarrohea and inaction..

just a thot

Are Malaysian Indians Not Malaysians???

Since the peaceful rally.. I have received a barrage of emails and sms’... it is the topic of the day at every starbucks meeting, coffee shops, family gathering and even at the office.. It is the topic of conversation..

My first question - Are Malaysian Indians not Malaysians.. isn’t this a Malaysian problem... Why is the said society marginalised?? Have there been no representation of this said society?? What happened the past 50 years??


I know for a fact that most of us Malaysian of Indian origin contribute greatly to the Malaysian Economy.. we were born here.. Many of us from the middle class grew up and was schooled here in Malaysia.. Such why are now categorised as Malaysian Indians.. Why Not A Malaysian?? Is this not the soil we were born in??

I am appalled by the discussions and views aired out by some of the lawmakers of this country.. The very fact that we do not accept that Malaysian Indian issues are a Malaysian problem is evident to show that we are not Bangsa Malaysia...

My perspective - Malaysia has failed to create Bangsa Malaysia..

Just a thot..
