7 Signs of Upcoming Chinese New Year

1.

Racist Malaysia

A former aide of our Prime Minister tendered his resignation recently when he allegedly said something racist during a seminar. Just this morning when I was on my way back to Kuala Lumpur, I had breakfast at Bukit Gantang's R&R and ate my nasi lemak with a bespectacled middle age man. He was reading a newspaper and exclaimed loudly "Semua isu pun nak dipolitikkan! Pelik betul betul parti politik dekat Malaysia."

I reacted with a whimpering "Memang semula jadi lah tu." a simple fuse that trascended into a half an hour long conversation.

Racism in politics is inevitable in Malaysia simply because political parties are race-based. It is not hard to understand this. Because these parties represents their own race, every race issue when politicised is a blessed (and free) party campaign.

Today, when the opposition has more grip on our nation, race issues often escalated and breed anger, contempt and yes, undying party allegiance. There will be more racism-induced conflicts in the near future, I'm quite sure of it.

Siapa Pendatang?

Nasir Safar, an aide to Najib Abd. Razak tendered his resignation when he allegendly said something racist. Here's a gist of the the things he said during a seminar:

Scary

You know the last entry I wrote? I didn't write it.

Someone else did. I deleted it yesterday and it appeared again today. Then this morning when I checked my blog to make sure everything's okay, there was a link for people to watch 4 Peringkat Ajal.

Someone knows my password and is deliberately blogging as me in my blog.

I also have a suspicion that I sleep-blogged. Is that even possible, to blog while sleeping?

Whatever it is, I'm scared.

Can I F**k You Today?

That is what Saiful Bukhari said he heard from Anwar Ibrahim. Did Saiful resisted by escaping the wrath of Anwar? He claimed he didn't. If this is true, the sex was consentual. It doesn't matter which side you're on, you can't help but to feel that Anwar had a murky past. Even if he didn't f**k Saiful Bukhari, all his enemies directed their bullets at Anwar's peepee. That is why I'm still under the impression that Anwar Ibrahim f**ks men.

If you don't agree with this assumption, you also cannot agree with Anwar's innocence. What proof do you have to lay against me to prove that he didn't f**cked men before?

I got proof. Saiful swore it so.

I want to see Anwar Ibrahim do the same before we can officially clean this slate and start deliberating again whether or not he f**cks men.

Rethinking Diversity

I would think that diversity is more than the hue of our skin, our mainstream cultures, our languages and accents, more than the diversity of a selected criteria.

I think diversity is not justified to be defined in a communal sense but as a personal anthropology. I like eggs you like ham; you know, that kind of thing. The smallest things, like preferring jazz to metal is the best definition of diversity because the influence that brought by trivial preferences is by far the most free-willed personal choice.

This kind of thinking made me rethink diversity. This is why cute kitten videos are the most popular videos in youtube. Cute kittens videos are not bounded by race, language or skin, just interest.

And that's the most interesting and pure kind of diversity: interest.

That is why I chose to ask volunteers about their favourite food, music, movies etc. because those trivial preference is the purest form of diversity.

Busy

I'm currently making 5 short videos and ads for competitions all around the world. I'm not much of a social butterfly to land contracts in Malaysia so I prefer to get my much needed experiences by entering competitions.

I have poor parents so to I fuel my passion with the money I make from competitions. I don't think they even understand how badly I want to be the best in the biz so they only gave me money for food and transport. I am not alone. Malay parents are usually like this. They don't like to invest on their children. Instead, they invest most of their money on their houses, cars and land. They want their kids to suffer like how they suffered when they were younger. This is why most second generation malays are in the poor-middleclass category.
