My blog died. AND IT SHALL LIVE AGAIN!! XD

Yeap, yours truly is back for more brain-cracking philosophy on life XD

And so...

...

...truth to be told, it's just the 3rd week of college, and I'm already having sleepless nights. This is of course NOT good, but one can't help it if one can't break the procrastinating habit.

But I WILL break it. ^-^ *starts singing* Coz I'm breaking the habit, I'm breaking the habit TONIGHT!!~~ XD

Anyway, enough crapping. Back to business.

As a matter of fact, I am DYING to post my hard-worked essay up (one that never got through the CSM class, mind you, because....none of ma classmates is gonna understand it), and so I shall post it up here for your reading pleasure. Have fun reading, digesting, and IF you do/do not get it, please comment! 'Cos with intelligent feedback, will there be more intelligent responses, and with more of these, the world woulda be a better place to live in, in the long run ^-^

And so here's part 1 of ma essay, "Why Do You Hate Malaysia?"
[First off though, this topic is NOT mine, it's by my lecturer. So don't sue/flame/arrest me for this.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What irks me the most is the mentality of the people here, especially their tidak apa attitude. Quoting our PM Abdullah that Malaysia may have First World infrastructure but Third World mentality, it is kind of sad to note it is true.

Because it irks me to think that since we are the leader of the Third World country, we should have set a better example for our peers, but instead, it’s because of this attitude that contributes to making a poor image of our country.

For example, on the roads, people never respect the laws. They will simply overtake another vehicle without warning, some who zoom past the yellow light (and some even red lights, just to get to their destination faster), and some who double parks their cars everywhere. Some hogs the streets like their grandfather’s road, even, and some tailgate another vehicle, and horn like no tomorrow to make the other driver drive faster. For example, it happened a few days ago that after having breakfast outside and we’re about to return home when this Malay dude drove over and parked his little green Kancil RIGHT behind our car, and we told him that we wanted to leave, but he actually IGNORES us and walked away FASTER to buy his 3D/4D numbers. (Thankfully, his action created a scene, so he quickly drove away after that.)

As seen/published in the newspapers recently about this certain award-winning journalist who equated Japanese animation to pornography has most of the young generation on uproar. Why? Because this said journalist can’t be bothered to do his research, and instead based on 1 hentai anime, he thinks everything about Japanese animation is about porn. Like, how can one comedy movie means all the movies are comedy, right? The worse thing is when he can’t be bothered to APOLOGIZE to the public, even though another major daily has clarified the matter in crystal-clear and simple-to-understand instructions – he wants to stand his ground, and this is what we Chinese called a kiasu manner.

Part 2 and 3 will be up once I get feedback. SO START TALKING, PEOPLE!!
