Just back from mum's house. Caught the debate between DSAI and our beloved Minister of Information.

Summary of the show from my perspective is(again, let me emphasize that I am trying not to be biased which is realistically impossible), someone drew a gun and shot his feet few rounds in front of the nation. The rest is upon your own imagination.

Interestingly, during the debate and recent paranoia, the proverb

国之将亡, 必出妖孽

came across my mind.

It translates to "In the eve of doom, nation will definitely plague by wicked being."

The country is obviously in storm now, you can read the news header from independence media. Guess that is part of nationhood. Hold on tight maybe, that's all every average Joe like you and me could do best now.

And yes, 15 July 2008 is my last day of 2 years and 8 days in the job that I started few weeks before initialization of this blog, nevertheless, the very reason of existence for this blog doesn't fit that though. While on the bike home, I had this thinking: of taking my dinner, pack-up, get a overnight bus and bit farewell to the city for sandy beach and crystal clear water break in the east coast. A good dreamer I proved myself to be. Even sis dare me to go ahead when I tell her about it.

Maybe too occupied with the job, felt a bit of relief and lost now but then feeling is always a feeling. Time will carry out it's duty again.

Was sourcing for this lately. I just cant get rid the moment I bumped into her on that sleepy and depressing morning. Just tailed her all the way through rows of cars until her skilled rider navigated swiftly and disappeared into bustling traffic. Too bad that they don't carry it directly locally. It is just too vibrant for the numbing life here. Worth it to burn a hole in the shrinking coffer!

D50? there are few gems to add-in but budget is tight now. Inflation is high as everyone used to say.

Can't wait to catch WALL-e.

New sites that worth a visit: Malaysian-Finance and The Malaysian Insider.

No comment on Sodomee and state-of-sin-denial as "resistance is futile.", I learnt from someone in PhotoMalaysia.

iPhone 3G by Green Giant with package under RM1,000? I prefer android in the sense of openiality but wouldn't resist a full featured web surfer plan.

Some daisies(downloaded from the web) to end the log of sevenfifteen.

Guess blizzard fans should be aware of this right now.

I don't want a new rig.

D minus 17 days before my official withdrawal. Last few weeks were of trying time in life, the condition got more complex after first wave of inflation ignition announcement, career satisfaction(the new song by that Sony ambassador sucks.) at office dropped to lowest point in my almost 2 years term, hunting met hurdles of "PR and Nationality issue". Sometime, after venturing out to seek employment in that little red dot only that I noticed the country doesn't really that talent friendly as it claimed it was, at least with their job posting proof or maybe the talent is not mine yet. Even lick doesn't sound satisfied with the post he got. Possibility are there that he would stay local. the mind was lost and juggled between the choices of efficiency surrounding or bonds, one of the element that keeps each and every sane human's life continued through the daily challenges. The mind is clearer now. maybe like those server, it needs a little bit of black out before things could get running. After all, human mind is not perfect. She is right that make up your mind and get on with life. It will be a tough journey ahead but the picture gets clearer every time a wrong decision made. and of course, damages are unavoidable consequences after that.

even received message from friend who thought I'd be overjoyed with the hike been announced this late afternoon.

not sure if this is 100% caused by our current Prime Minister administration but I know that the international crude future isn't cheap anymore. There are a couple of reason behind that if you care enough to read it. It is just irrational to pin point this to him alone. Maybe he ought to run the country with more efficiency, accountability and integrity as certain issue pointed out by Jeff should be taken care of.

The fellow citizen should not put all the blame to the government. I agree in certain way, we(Malaysian) are definitely spoilt with cheap petrol cost. It will be a painful experience to wake up from the sweet dream but the country MUST go through it.

It is true that the global world had somehow entered an age of high cost for essential items. If you put a simple math together you will figure out the logic behind this. In the old days there is only American and few European countries living a somewhat luxurious lifestyle. Soon after millennium, country like BRIC came into the picture of capitalism and urbanization. The truth is ages old equation is currently been reposition to cope with raw material demands from those populous countries. The cost will be afloat for years before the economy settle down like stirred up muddy water.

No. I do not despise people who drive. I love driving and always enjoy the experience of driving my own car traveling freely around the country but it's been forgo years ago. It is just practically unfeasible especially in a city where its population keeps growing. Space nor the fuel would not be ideally there for a mass consumer of user. Pollution is yet another notorious issue we need to face.

Human are born with instinct to travel. Why not travel with our conscience then, human?

And I do not agree on any protest on petrol hike. Let's learn to be productive and efficient. That is the key to open the steel door of high petrol cost.

And last one. Those who drives a BIG HUMVEE IMITATION aka "petrol guzzling monster vehicle" fXXk XXf from the gas station(excuse me for that), if you cant afford the hike go and get a 2 wheelie bike. Please do not go and queue up to save for merely RM50(one time saving, if you do not know how to count in long term and it is less than 0.001% saving you "smart" ass). There are people who genuinely urgently needs to fill-up their car to travel, you inconsiderate dumb!(excuse me again)

It's been quite a hectic week that had just passed. Sometime you just don't get the chance to prepare for it, life just demands you to perform when it is time as how you have practice daily. The moral value? Be sure what you are doing at this moment.

August 2005(some says May 2005) - May 2008. Almost three years in the field, maybe it is my luck. Until now, I haven't stumble upon someone who amazes me with his IT professionalism, those that I've used to dream of during the early exposure of the technology. What I saw is only bunch of business man, woman who worried about her children more than the running services, chap that spent life what I did most of the time - surfing and IM and of course, the conspiracy. Is that what we are capable of here in this land? Maybe the man whom I met lately was right, we are more like a trader/consumer than one who innovates. I shouldn't dream beyond that point here. "There is no unsolvable issue, only those that requires time. Anyone?"

Can't quite get it when friends asked "Are you taxed for the previous financial year?". I don't know but is that supposed to mean how much do you earn yearly? Maybe just a casual talk but does it matter? My foot.

"I am Iron Man." That is the first Marvel hero to admit as far as I know. Not bad with all the flying scene especially the one he deployed emergency flares(suar in Malaysia language, I only recall the word from subtitle) to divert the heat sensing missile and use it again to blind his captor. Imagine the tactic utilized by ill-equipped insurgents against troops with night goggle. Maybe the possibility is already addressed.

Not sure what will happened in coming three months time. Will officially cease to function as one in the current company in 45 days time. Haven't start to seriously hunt for a job now. Friends and family started to worry about it but not the one within. Still stuck in the holiday mood maybe, or waiting to feel desperate maybe, or I am already worrying when I type this. I wish I feel it.

Oh, He withdrew himself from the rotten-party? Who cares? Damn it!

I think sometime I am demanding for too much of authenticity from the surrounding which is impossible.

I wish the government or someone could throw in a survey/vote. Asking people to choose between driving to work or commute with an EFFICIENT public transport, especially those with more static jobs. Since the first day I dream of my work life, I had never phantom one which requires me to drive/ride a vehicle and got stuck in the traffic daily. Never! To stuck in a traffic is that last thing I want to live with after polluted air and high cost of travel. Cloth, food, shelter and travel are the basic needs of any human. Return it to them and the nation will flourish.

Let there be light and I need the park or the pool desperately.
