Me & The Me Dia

It has been a long time. But I am not going to give excuses like I have been busy, or the kids and family have been taking much if not most of my waking hours, blah blah blah. It has been a long time. But I am back.

I liked what Mak Andeh said in her comments about bloggers and what the media feeds us. Sebab I, too, have no care about Siti Nurhaliza’s wedding. Much as I ‘disagree’ with her choice and the whole oh-he’s-so-lah-loving-father excuse for choosing Datuk K, it’s her life. Maybe she didn’t get enough of her own father’s love growing up. So she needs Datuk K to father her now. So be it. And maybe it is all mutual, Datuk K has no daughter either. And so be it.

Life goes on after the big loss of a star, Hani Mohsin. But I had wished that the media would cover a bit more on Hani than it did. But I guess nothing after the death that would sell the papers. So life goes on after the tribute from Tiara on The Star Sunday that followed.

Palestine and Israel…
Maybe we should just let them kill each other clean. Afterall, what has the world NOT tried to do to help? Why is the voice of Muslims in the South East Asia louder than that in the Middle East? Do we seriously think our say will make an impact when the neighboring countries (their so called brothers) have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear on the Palestinians? It has been going on for so long. Don’t they see that fighting is not the way to go? What have they accomplished?

So the children are dead, the children are dying and more children will die. So, let’s make more children and keep on fighting so that more children can die. Is that it?

I know for sure that my view will be perceived and interpreted differently by those who read my blog. I don’t care. The children are still dying in both Palestine and Israel. Read me as distortedly as you want. Because God ‘melaknat’ orang yang membuat kemusnahan di muka bumi. Regardless who these orang are, or what their religion is. End of story.

I would actually like to see more news on what we don’t see or hear much about. Like what teachers all over the country are doing to our children at schools. Ways they have taken to improve educating and education. What the authority is doing to enforce the laws – from as silly as running the red lights, to parking senget kat parking lot. Dah siap ada line pun lagi tak reti nak parking lurus. Baghal!

It may sound and seem trivial. I don’t care about big things in the world. Because I know, once I change all the tiny things that I can…the big things will fall into place.

So…

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Menyumbang Untuk Negara

Does anybody know if there is a way we can contribute to say…

  • The dotted lines on the road/highway you travel on regularly are so lah malap and in dire needs of repainting job. Does JKR have a program that allows individuals or private companies to pay for the repainting job in exchange with some little thank-you’s like discount on road taxes ke, or discount on tolls ke, or advertisement board saying thank you to Enida for sponsoring the repainting of the dotted lines on Lebuhraya Karak between kilometer 29 and kilometer 39 (10km je yang dia mampu, nak buat macam mana? Kalau nak tunggu JKR or MTD or saper yang responsible for the maintenance of the highway, 10 meter pun belum tentu dia nak cat.) Contoh sahaja.

  • Papantanda jalan to our house dah tombang and rebeh because a container truck sudah masuk itu jalan driven by a bozo whose license was bought from his brother in law in 1975. He didn’t care, itu jalan is not his. So, how do we The Chong-Khoon-Lin-ers replace the papantanda ourselves? Sebab nak tunggu whoever responsible replacing or updating the signboard would probably take 3 years and 8 months to do. To make a signboard dengan cardboard is silly because of the rain we get everyday. Pagi letak, petang dah jadi mashed potato cardboard that signboard.- Another contoh lah.
