An Insight into Stupidity? Or Ignorance?

Religiously, I cannot endorse homosexuality.  However, the recent flurry of posts regarding a supposed guideline endorsed by the Ministry of Education offends me as to how shallow & simple minded they are when it comes to identifying homosexuals.  Their list pretty much includes majority of Malaysia. -,- Each category only has four items or guidelines.  Yes, there are only four things.  Who knew homosexuals were so easily identifiable, eh? Just to quote & comment. Quoted is in red italic  while comment is not. :) Symptoms for gays Have a muscular body and like to show their body by wearing v-necks and sleeveless shirts .  This applies to pretty much our ENTIRE athletic contingent.  Is the government implying they are gay?  Also, straight men do it to attract girls because let's face it, a well toned body is a big ego booster for men, and an attraction for women. Prefer tight, and light colored clothes .   I tend to...

An Interesting Day In A Long Time

There are two very important events coming up. One is Hari Raya Eid il Fitr. I know everyone is getting hyped up for it. Is it just me or do I feel more hype among my friends this year? Oh well. The second important upcoming event is my birthday!! Its in two days' time so boys and girls, I expect you to break the bank getting me all kinds of expensive presents! Muahahaha. Just kidding.

I went to my parents room to check o...

Freedom of Speech

Despite the title, many people think that is it; the freedom to say and write whatever you want. News flash, WRONG! Freedom of speech means writing and saying whatever you want but responsibly. And a responsible politician is hard to come by (at least in Malaysia). There are one or two guys (Mahathir's definitely on that list, that's for sure) who are not politically corrupt (or not that bad), articulate speakers (if you don't know what articulate means, there's something called the dictionary), and actually has a (his/her own) vision for the country. This is probably going to get my ass in deep s___ but here it goes; A number (not all) of Badawi's plans, are from Mahathir. There was this project, a project that Mahathir lectured him for 2 years and he (Badawi) took an oath to carry out the plan. What did he do the moment he was in office? Scrapped it, that's what! But if you stop to ponder, this reflects human nature, we cannot trust ourselves with power. Unfor...
