Of beers and stupidities

Recently, I decided to have a quick dinner at a nearby open air coffee shop. Not long after I took a table and placed my order, a group of Chinese men and women came in and occupied two tables. There are probably 6 men with age ranging from 45 to 55, and 4 women with thick make-up of cheap cosmetic and irritating smell of cheap perfume. These women look like cheap prostitute pick up from somewhere to join the men for some cheap beer drinking session.

To cut the story short, these men and women looked like a group of old buddies trying to have a casual gathering, they ordered beers and started their rowdy drinking and cheering each other on. After a few glasses, some of them started to challenge each other to see who can drink more, but their annoying laughters still lingering around. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, there are breaking noises of glasses and bottles, the men start challenging each other to fist fights and throwing verbal abuses at each others, a violent fist fights was started. The rest of the customers in the coffee shop quickly abandoned their tables and stay away at a safe distant. The coffee shop owner and workers moved in to separate these drunkards, but the shouting of verbal profanity at each other continued.

These ugly incidences resulting from excessive alcohol consumptions are not unusual in Malaysia. There has been too many similar incident of pub brawls and fist fights resulting in unneccesary deaths and injuries. People just don't seemed to have the ability to learn from these painful and uncivilized behaviors. A bunch of inconsiderate adults trying their level best to established acceptance of their abnormal social behaviors in public ! I shake my head...

Sometimes, I guess we have to accept the fact that, there are always life's rejects in our society. With too much ego, stupid pride, and their unwillingness to face real life problems, these rejects probably have no success in life to boast to their friends. They actually think that they can gain respect and recognition by showing others how much their pot bellies can take the alcohol. I guess, they are basically a bunch of primates in perpetual self denial of their inferiority complex, alcohol seemed to be the only mean to acquire the misplaced confidence to glorify their ability for excessive consumption of cheap alcohols.

Sorry for my insensitivity to drunkards. But, the fact of the matter is, these drunkards are basically a bunch of parasites incapable of taking responsibility and unwilling to face problems in their life. If they can waste so much money getting themselves intoxicated, why can't they use the money to buy foods home ? If they can spend so much time whoring themselves with intoxicated people, why can't they spend the time with their family members to improve the quality of their relationships ?

My Vision for 2057

I had a dream..... I woke up, and I was told to go back to sleep to dream on....

In this bolihland, we are all living in a land of many fantasies of great visions and missions of the future. Sadly, for the present, we are of no substance, but only capable of generating loud farting noises from beating empty drums to achieve euphoric shiokism. Our political leaders are a bunch of fantastic dream merchants. In the past, we danced to the beats of bolihism. Now, in search of never ending dreams, we are beginning to learn to rock with the hip hop music of kiasuism. Many years ago, we were promised perfect vision by year 2020, then came another dream merchant, who promised great social developments and prosperity by extending another 50 years to the 2020 to 2057. What had done to prepare ourselves to achieved this great mission of 2057 ? One thing for sure, we are pretty good at drumming and strumming the music of race and religion to seek to sustain our unconscious incompetency and a pride that is lesser in size than the balls hanging between our legs. Well, we can go on lying on the bed masturbating in dreamy state, and I doubt we can ever achieve that momentary pleasurable orgasms. Dream on baby.....

Perhaps, maybe by the year 2057, with the aids of Multimedia Super Corridor, we will become a digital society. By that time, we are either a citizens or a digizen in a digitally divided nation. Each and everyone of us will be assigned an Avatar to conduct our daily affairs in virtual reality.

By that time, maybe we can give all those unconsciously incompetence politicians a digital login name for Facebook, Second Life, Ragnarouk, etc. Let them be the digizens of virtual reality to conduct their racial rhetorics, religious intolerances, warfares and aggressions, etc. in a confined space of cyber lunacy.

Perhaps by the year 2057, with all those people practicing the world's second oldest profession contained in the virtual reality of the cyber world, the world will be a much more safer, peaceful, friendly, and prosperous place.

From now to 2057, I sincerely hope all those politicians who practised racial politics to seek popularity and perpetuate their corrupted life styles can be enlightened by their righteous Gods to discard their despicable acts. Asking me to keep on dreaming to year 2020, then 2057 ? Forget it ! Why not for the time being, all of us learn how to respect human rights and live an honorable and ethical life. A small righteous step forward is a big leap into prosperous and meritorious Malaysia.

By the year 2057, I presumed all those faked religious and racist fagots were already dead and rotted in hell ! I will probably residing in heaven looking down on this beautiful blue marble. Hopefully, issues of race, religion, and culture will no longer be exploited by racial pariahs to sustain selfish and immoral agenda. With the maturity of times, Malaysians will become true Malaysians living in prosperity, harmony, equality, and unity. Sincerely, this is my hope and prayer for Malaysia and future Malaysians – A united and secular nation of righteous people with integrity and morality.

Stupid is as stupid does...

At the closing session of the Ibero-American summit held in Santiago, Chile, despite having his microphone being turned off, Venezuelean's President Hugo Chavez repeatedly tried to interrupt the session. Spain's King Juan Carlos affirmatively told Venezuelean President Hugo Chavez to “WHY DON't YOU SHUT UP ?”

Never in the history of any international forum, the host had to resort to turn off the microphone of the presedent of any country. And it is equally unprecedented to have a president of any country to be disgraced and told to shut-up. I just wonder, how come some politicians are so thick skinned and shameless to parade themselves like monkeys to the world. Honestly, I think the King of Spain is right and appropriate to tell Hugo Chavez to Shut Up. Yah, why can't he shut up ? I think the whole world is nauseated with all those forked tongues mental retards going around the world to champion human rights in other countries. Why can't these idiots practice what they preached in their own countries first ?

But again, this world is full of weasel words, forked tongues, and two faces people That's what make them “so popular” in the land of the blinds where the one eye get persecuted and the “oppositions” are all in jails. Ahh... no wonder some of these people can become a “democratically” elected president for life.

The road less travelled

When I first graduated in the 80's with an undergraduate degree, I though I would be having a easy and relax career. With my basic paper qualifications, I have no problem getting a job in the local IT industry. During those early years, the IT industry is a “glamorous” industry. People tends to gave you a nice perception of your super qualifications and your perceived ability to handle the miracle machine called computer. But, behind all those nice perceptions, it is hardwork all the way..... I started work at 9:00am and finished work way past 12:00 mid night, almost 6 days a week, with Sunday worrying about how to resolve problems for coming weeks. They said, this is part of professional commitment to the work. Somehow, many years down the road, I began to realize that I need to break this monotonous cycle of work habits, otherwise I would end up dying young. True enough, I suffered from major work related stress at the age of 32. By that time, I already started a family with a young son.

I resigned from my job, took a few months break to ponder my next course of direction. During those short break, I was head hunted and received many job offers of senior managerial position. Sad to acknowledge that, as much as I enjoy working for people, although my mind is willing, but my heart is not there to take on another challenge. I realized that, as much as I want to have a successful career, it is equally important that I keep myself holistic for my family.

I took the road less travelled, I invested all my savings to start a business on my own. It was not easy to start and maintain the business, but I have the privilege and comfort to decide the pace of workflow. I have a simple philosophy of maintaining an ethical margin and not to overload ourselves with unnecessary sales quota. I decided that, by 5:30PM everyday, everybody must go home to be with the family. I prohibit unhealthy entertainment such as entertaining the customers at night clubs or pubs. I honestly believe in right living, and that only incompetent people resort to get themselves and others influenced by alcohol to secure business. To me, business secured in this manner is an unacceptable form of livelihood. I even closed down a profitable associate company when I realized that the business practices infringed my basic principle of morality. As far as I am concern, I do not need to subject myself to unethical practices to secure short term benefits. Over the past 15 years, although we did had our fair share of ups and downs, but overall speaking, we had sufficient business to keep the business going, and gain respectable recognitions from our customers. Looking back, putting aside some bad experiences and betrayals from some dishonest people, life for us, have been good. I am looking forward to my early retirement in 2 years times. Hopefully, the good angels can grant me a healthy body for the rest of my life to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

In life, I do sincerely believe that everything happened for a reason. It is our purpose of life to live through those reasons. Good or bad, this are all part and parcel of the reflections of karma from our previous life. What matter most is, we have to adapt to this life as practical and as ethical as possible to the resulting vipakka to generate good karma for our next life.

There will come a time in our journey called life where the single road shall diverge into multiple directions, but, as a traveller of life, we can only pick one route. The roads we took may be less travelled by others, but all roads lead to the truth of our being. Whether we like it or not, consciously or unconsciously, we are basically living our daily life in search of truth and our purpose of life. I do honestly believed, when confronted with the need to make a choice, one should never hesitates to make a decision. By courageously and ethically accepting and embracing our own decision, the truth is out there for us to confront uncertainties. And we, by our own doing, shall be able to stamp our mark and made the difference for others to follow.

We are what we are because we are destined to take the road less travelled and to lead a life less ordinary. In the process of living life, let us all enjoy the experiences and live life to he best of our abilities. Life is a many splendoured thing, now, dare yourself to go out there to love and be loved, to change and be changed, to make a difference, and let the party begins........

Those Crazy Chinese

I read the following in ChinaDaily Online Community :

".......

Man, you gotta love those crazy Chinese. My air conditioner broke the other day. The guy turns up to fix it.

We're on the 19th floor so he looks out the window at the unit perched outside on 2 foot wide concrete shelf that sits in mid air.

Big smile, reaches into his bag and pulls out a piece of rope and ties it around his waste. Hmm, what to do with the other end?

Ohhh, he hooks it over the top of the flimsy bathroom window which could carry the body weight of a large rat at best.

That's it, in a second he's out their, through the small bathroom window, slings himself up 4 feet to the 2 foot wide concrete block, and he's out there working.

He is perched 19 floors up on a 2 foot wide slab and it's been raining. There is no safety at all.

How does he handle such hardship every day?

He starts singing his favourite Chinese song. He's still humming to himself now and I still feel dizzy watching him from the safety of my own window. Later I quiz him about the safety. He says he's been doing this job for 7 years and no problem with a big grin.

So, when I hear those dribbling foreigners that are spoiled and fat and condescending as they prattle about their democracy and other general bullsh&t…….. I often think to myself.... You %$#@# idiot, you really have no conception of what it is like to be a Chinese person living in China today

You are so spoiled and babied by your family and society that you have no idea how most of the world lives as you sprout you condescending cr@p about freedom of speech and your second rate democracy.

I say to you, get a life and leave the Chinese people to live theirs. Right now they are interested in improving there everyday life and maybe sending money back to their family in the village. Your probably trying to charge your parents to mow their lawn. ...."
