My Constitution

Yesterday was the Launching of the Bar Council's MyConstitution Campaign. With a row of talented, intellectual, and dare-to-speak-my-mind-kinda speakers it was totally informative, truthful and yea very blunt , frank and totally void of sugar-coating = kick-ass!



It is basically a campaign to educate the public on the importance of the Constitution, Our Constitution and not just what it is, but also what it contains.

We let the politicians feed us their version of the constitution and we follow it blindly.

We let ourselves be governed by a new type of colonialism by our very own.

We signed away our freedom to live and let live.

All these a product of our ignorance.

AND because of our false assumption that the constitution is a document only for law practitioners, we are not bothered that The Malaysian Constitution has gone through 500 amendments in 52 years! (America is still in it's 13th). If we continue to let it happen, it'll soon loose the true spirit in which it was first made by our fore-fathers.

Simply put, the constitution is a legal document that decides the type of country we live in, the powers that the government has and a way to limit that powers.It is (contrary to what we were made to believe) a universal document that does not aim to create a 2-tiered community that we, the people, have been used to.

The Constitution underlines my right to live my life, the way i want to and also allows me to grant my neighbor the same privileges.

Thus, the current campaign by the Bar Council aims at allowing this Document to be accessible and comprehensible to every, EVERY citizen of Malaysia.
yes! This includes the mamak anne, chinese rice uncle, nasi lemak mak cik and also the Mr.,Mrs., Datin. Datuk. etc.

Ugly Truth

Today I watched "The Ugly Truth". Gerard Butler *drools*

So the movie is about how women are mellow-dramatic, control-freaks who find guys based on a checklist of suitable "traits" (which is wrong btw) and men are visual beings who will be sidetracked by any girl in the skimpiest possible outfit, think only about sex and are driven on lust and apparently incapable (or choose to be) of "seemingly-gay" feelings of L.O.V.E (which based on the movie, is how guys are structured, so girls, accept!).

Forget what i think about it [for a moment ;)]

The Evolutionary Theory (Eagly & Wood, 2002) says that men and women differ psychologically; because of the different social roles they occupy. And due to this inherent differences, they have different things to look for when selecting a partner. While both women and men are interested in physical looks of their partners, since women are often given the role of bearing and nurturing, they tend to have a checklist consisting of "traits" such as socio-economic stability etc to ensure the survival and well-being of their off-springs. Whereas men, are less interested in these "meaningless" tasks and can go on to impregnate women after women on the basis of their lusty nature
(it's not coming from me-blame it on the movie!)

NOTE: Theories are just that..Theories. They aren't proved, but for arguments sake lets just accept it as truth.

So now i'm (here we go! :p) thinking, if women have to accept how men are, why can't men accept women the way they are? It's the same kan? Men want sex, women want security (which often comes in the form of money), We have something they want, and they have something we need. Win-Win! The check-list is merely a memory-aid, even without it physically being represented on paper and ink, we have it etched and drilled in our minds.

And that ladies and gentlemen is ~ZE UGLY TRUTH~ So guys accept that!
Happy Days!

p/s: Be it Indian or Western movies, the guy sleeping around is regarded as funny, adorable, and acceptable even, but the leading ladies are always saving themselves (indirectly) for the leading men. It'll be really refreshing to see a dose of sexual liberty for women without degrading them to being whores or sluts or morally lost. Movie makers take note! ;)

go green

I rarely get angry, i'm pretty good at just ignoring or tuning out things that i know will infuriate me, or i'll just go the girls and vent it out. But but but, on the rare occasions that i do get angry, I get angry pretty fast, and cool down in a minute as well. And today was one of those days.

It has been pretty cooling since morning, rain, gloomy and no harsh rays of the sun, my favorite type of whether. =) so i go to fetch my sis from school and had to drop her friend off and go to the supermarket. And i had to follow the route near the primary school (it was 1.10 that time), the place was chaos! kids were actually jumping over the gate to come out, why can't they just open it? beats me. so yea. the kids on one hand, smart baboons who park their car on both sides of the road, plus the cars coming from the opposite direction, and yes people crossing from one side to another in this mess. I just practically parked my car there for at least 15 mins waiting for it to clear. I'm still cool and calm. no road rage there, nope.

then in the supermarket, my sis has to buy this strawberry flavored chiclets-like thing. I'm not a big fan of junk food, never was since i was a kid. I don't take , Coke (and the likes of it),sweets (wait, does chewable Vit-C count?), crackers, keropok lekor etc etc as often as regular people do. Its not cause I'm kiasu about my weight or health, I just don't fancy it that much. ok the sis gets the junk, and i control myself from saying anything, so yea still cool.

Then she gets in the car and feels that the junk is spoiled. So the moment i parked at my house and got out, i see this pink box flying above my head to the shrubs on top of the padang hill in front of my house and rolls down into the drain.

i tell my sis to pick it up, and she is laughing, she's ACTUALLY laughing! She's pleased with herself!!and now i completely loose it! I don't see how civilized people can throw stuff anywhere and whenever they want to? I've seen people unwrap gum and throw the wrapper on the ground where they are standing and walk away. I see it in town, in the train, in the bus and the list goes on.and some, throw stuff out of the car while traveling. its DISGUSTING!! SHeesh!! what? every other place other than your homes are dumping sites???

My sister got an earful but to all the other people who do this, please stop.
Its not sexy nor is it cool AND its not funny!!


Keep our environment clean; you don't wanna live amongst junk and smell crap!

The Next Chapter

The sharp needles of rain,
strike at me with fury,
i see the droplets of water
dripping of the bridge of my nose and
i wonder if there's more to this
uncalled for lashing,
soaking anxiety,
the undying feeling of wanting more,
the sinking realization that maybe
just maybe my time is running out
before the world rushes past me
me, myself and i
invisible, and cold in a big dark hole
a spiraling, whirling hole called
L.I.F.E
