Holidays

Holidays in Adelaide. Too bad I don't have Astro here. =P For the first week, I went around the city to look for part time job. I won't give up until I get one! =D I borrowed DVDs from the library as well. The movies I have watched so far:
  1. Amazing Grace (This is really nice even though I sometimes don't understand some of the conversation.)
  2. Pride and Prejudice
  3. Becoming Jane
  4. The Princess Diaries 1 & 2
  5. The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe

I actually enjoyed Pride and Prejudice. The love relationship during those times were very different from the present ones. I should read the book as well one of these days. To all reading my blog, I recommend Amazing Grace. It's a nice movie and the song "Amazing Grace, My Chains are gone" by Chris Tomlin is actually the theme song for this movie. I just found out recently.

That's enough!!!!

'Malaysians fed up of political bickering' was the headline for The Star online today. I totally agree with it. I believe we Malaysians are really tired with the leaders of Malaysia. We are trying really hard to make ends meet due to the fuel hike. We are trying to make sure that we have earned enough to put food on the table and make a shelter over our heads. Yet our stupid leaders still have time and the energy to accuse one another and saying 'Parti Khinzir Raksasa'. It seems that they have forgotten why they are in those positions. They seem to forget that they are suppose to be making plans on how to improve the economy of Malaysia and how to achieve the 2020 vision. They seem to forget that they are elected by the people to be the representative in the parliament to discuss important issues. The desires of Malaysians are very simple. We want a just and fair judiciary system. We want a government that is free from corruptions and misuse of power. We want leaders who put their selfishness aside and take interest in the people's hardship and not talking nonsense in parliament. We want a country where people from different backgrounds and races live in harmony under one roof. I wonder when will they realise this. Sometimes, I feel like going to them and tell them this (which is not very possible=P). No matter what happens now, I still have faith in the Lord that He is still in control. I believe that God has great plans for Malaysia. Let's all humble ourselves before Jesus and pray for our nation.

What happened to Malaysia?

I have been reading The Star online to update myself with the current happenings in Malaysia. Last week, I read about some Muslim organization in Kelantan telling the women in Kelantan not to put on lipstick or wear high heels as this encourage men to rape them. When I read this, I was appalled by what they have said. Why did they put all the blame on the women? Shouldn't the men be held responsible for rapping a women? Didn't they know that when a person watched too much porn, even if the woman wrapped herself like a mummy, he will still be able to visualise her in her naked body. I agree that ladies should dress decently to help men avoid having unhealthy thinking but putting on lipsticks and wearing high heels have nothing to do with encouraging rape! Think logically, will the noise from the heels encourage a man to rape a woman? Will the colour of the lipsticks cause a man to rape a woman? I DON'T THINK SO!!!! These religious fanatics should really be sent to school again so that they can learn to think critically and logically. Putting on lipsticks and wearing heels make a woman looked more presentable, NOT SEXY!!!! They should be more concerned in improving the moral values of the community rather than picking on women!!!!
Lately, Malaysia has been bombed with another shocking events. Anwar Ibrahim has been accused of sodomising his aide. Sigh.... Ever since the election in March, there hasn't been any good news from Malaysia. Fuel hike, SAPP issues, Raja Petra claiming in his blog that Najib's wife was present at the place where the incident of bombing a Mongolian lady took place, politicians insulting one another in parliament,....The list just goes on. Sometimes I wonder if the politicians of Malaysia knew what they are suppose to do. I wish I could tell them that their responsibilities are bringing up issues which concerned the benefits of the people and solving the problems aroused peacefully without having to insult anyone regardless of faith and race. Lord, may You have mercy upon Malaysia and deliver us from the evil ones!
