May 13th.....

The May 13 Incident if you see from Wikipedia is a term used for the Sino-Malay riot in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which began on May 13, 1969.......

Oh well, honestly speaking... the past is something for us to learn and not something for us to be scared of. The thing is that people who are born after 1969 are not only not aware of them, they are considered to be borned into this new & mature country - "Malaysia - Truly Asia".....

We are people of 21st century... and guess what did I see on my iGoogle home page on the Star Online Newspaper 13.5.2009 Most Viewed?
Hubby had sex using cucumbers and brinjals.... what the....

Interestingly, the most viewed issues is not something we will remember or to learn from, but something new instead...

Obviously I find such a topic interesting... but.....
I thought we are a more conservative South East Asia country and this kind of issues are considered taboo?

Perhaps we are opening up in our culture too...... haha....interesting...

Happy Wesak Days & Mother's Day.....

Over the weekend, the celebration of Wesak (a.k.a. Vesak) Day coincides with Mother's Day......

"Be part of solution", urges Najib during the Wesak Day 2009 celebration in Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple in Jenjarom.

Our newly appointed PM is taking his duty to foster a better relationship with the rakyat.

It is true that if you are not part of a solution, you are part of the problem.

I agree totally with him the moment he mentioned that "For instance, when an accident happens, they should help the victims without asking whether they are Chinese, Malay or Indian because they are all Malaysians in need of help...... I wonder sometimes in filling up forms we were being asked, "are you bumiputera or non-bumiputera?"

At times before I "checked the box in the form", I hesitated for a while, as I was born in Malaysia, brought up in Malaysia, singing negaraku all this while, I kinda considered myself as bumiputera lorr....

Whatever it is, I respected & love our very own unique Malaysian rojak culture very much. This is my country, my home...

Malaysia, my motherland... Happy Mother's Day....
& of course, to my own mother too......hehe...


p.s. The "baby-hand"pix I took it from http://snapshotcap.blogspot.com/2008/05/mothers-day.html

Back home in Malaysia?? not quite.......

Oh my..... Today is so warm!!!

Stepping into my toilet for my usual "routine" this morning felt like being back home in KL.... Well, the temperature has simply rises back to our "normal" tropical climate...haha..

Ironically, I hope the temperature decreases a little...
but sorry, I can't do so, this is because according to the policy of.........

Sounds familiar, that's just exactly the world that we live in now...

Either we are in, or we are out. The "somewhere-in-the-middle" is for us to determine and this is where our "attitude" comes into play...

It is the "Attitude" that makes our day.
Like it or not this constitutes the way we live in our everyday life.

So, instead of complaining the weather is cold or the weather is hot, be bold and face it... and turn something out of it!

Oh.... I miss Bristol now!!!

Malaysia - Selamat Hari Vaisakhi...

Having brought up in Malaysia all this while, I did not know this significant day for my fellow Malaysian Sikh community until I was back in KL last week....

Believe it or not, thanx to our "very normal" traffic jam while attending the seminar in Eastin Hotel along Jalan Dato Abu Bakar 16/1, I managed to see this Billboard displaying "Selamat Hari Vaisakhi for Kaum Sikh"....

It might sound bit too late or "surprise" feeling for me to learn about this event. It is a day that actually marks the beginning of the Sikh new year....

As it's better late than never, at least I know about it and will remember for the rest of my life as Malaysian....

This gives me a signal that it's actually my family who did not instill this sort of culture awareness in me, and I am certain that there are many other people might still be not aware of this....

Whatever it is, we must appreciate the uniqueness of our very own Rojak Culture that you simply cannot get it in other part of the world...

That's why we as Malaysian should be proud of this celebration and be glad to discover and celebrate together!!
