oh Malaysia, are you sick?

It has come to my attention that Malaysia is getting sicker by the day. Main factor to this everlasting illness of our beloved country; our people. Sick to the very core.

It is sometimes sad to see how the insignificant development of Malaysia since I could remember. We were supposedly one of the leaders for SEA countries, but somehow or rather, we are now falling behind. In an article I read a year ago, our country was being compared to Cambodia by foreign investors. I thought we have surpassed them by a huge lot! How could it be possible that we are compared with them and not countries like Singapore or Thailand?

Having the need to read crazy news like the discrimination over boys who are more in-touch with their feminine side makes me wanna puke. The intention of setting up this boot camp for sissies is said to be trying to guide the students to proper path in life. Just because they are slightly more feminine does not mean they are going down the improper path. Why is it so difficult for certain people to simply accept that some of these boys are just born with more feminine genes? In fact, what’s wrong with being who you want to be, if that’s truly who you are? What is that person suppose to do if he or she is born gay? Kill themselves?

Really, since when did Malaysia got so low? Or have we always been that low?

And then there’s the 1 Malaysia email. I don’t see the needs of starting this project in the first place. What good is it to have a 1 Malaysia email when most of us who needs email have already had one or more emails? Besides, will news from the political world be more transparent to us, since its purpose is to provide the latest news and info to the people with this email? In addition to that, have anyone thought about the security and how big of a security issue it would become should any of the peoples’ personal information got leaked out? I mean seriously. Why is it that they can’t think of anything better to do but this. And Najib can’t see what the big fuss is all about. He’s probably blind. Private sector project? Like anyone who’s living in Malaysia will believe him. Jeez. Also, wouldn’t the RM50m be of better use if the government were to use it to improve existing infrastructures like the pathetic broadband that we have?

As I’ve mentioned before, doing things like this doesn’t make the 1 Malaysia concept work. I sometimes cannot believe the level of stupidity which the leaders of our country possess. The level can go up to infinity and beyond.

Sigh.

I wonder what’s next. I can’t wait for the next general election. I wonder what sort of monkey act will some of the politicians do.

what honeymoon period?

A lot of couples come up to me and say that the first year of any relationship is the “honeymoon period”; the period where there are very minimal arguments and everyone is just being very very nice. Nightmares start when the honeymoon period is over. That’s when everyone suddenly goes crazy. So they tell me.

Well, I beg to differ.

I don’t think there is such a thing as the “honeymoon period”. I think it shouldn’t even be named the honeymoon period. It is what I’ll like to call the bull-shit period. Or maybe one can call it the denial period. It is supposedly a stage where the guy does the wooing (or in this era, sometimes, it’s the other way around) by sending flowers, small gifts or going out for fancy dinners, parties to a point where it becomes almost… fake. Why denial? Coz some of us may be too caught up in this setup that we don’t see the fact that the other person is just not the one.

I, however, believe in the getting-to-know-each-other-strip-down-naked period. Not literally naked, mind you (although that wouldn’t be too bad of an idea, I guess *teehee). It is that first year in a relationship where you put aside all the unnecessary setups, a.k.a the sweet talks, the flowers, the small gifts, and just really get to know each other. This includes understanding what the other person wants and needs and all of their life values, and matching it with yours, then deciding if this is a relationship you want to pursue and work on.

A lot of us only do the strip check after the so-to-speak 6 – 12 months “honeymoon period”, and only then, do couples realize the relationship just wasn’t meant to be. The lovey dovey stuff has become a mask to all the wrongness that one sees. Some couple, even after realizing he/she isn’t the one, decides to hang on, again, simply because of the things they have gone through together during the “honeymoon period”. Like seriously… there is no such period.

I think it is really important to just take that first year to know each other. That first year is always the most difficult. You really want to know if this is going to work, and so you have to really learn about this individual, and decide if he is the one. If there is some differences, think if it is worth working things out. If all these things are sort out right at the earliest stage possible, you can have a lifetime of “honeymoon period”. Coz if it’s not meant to be right from the start, in spite of the flowers and the crazy gifts, it will never ever work out.

Well, it is just a piece of my thought.

Night.
