Malaysia's Independence day

so tmr is Merdeka day, public holiday in Malaysia =) bet most of you will be using this day sleeping till 12noon ( i'll be doing that if i'm back home)

i'm not really a patriotic person so why am i even writing this post?! well, i have to voice out my opinion about something related to Hari Merdeka.

i have friends in Fb writing stuff like " sang Negaraku in adelaide, fell proud but sad" and "let's sing our national anthem together tmr"

And guess what they get for their replies? "why so patriotic? if you're so patriotic, you'll be studying in malaysia and not aussie." and "are you f***ing serious? scr*** malaysia."

i really don't understand why they need to make such mean comments. if you hate malaysia so much, that's your problem. Just shut your damn mouth or migrate to other country. you don't have to stop others from expressing their love for their country.

For me, malaysia has been a place where i had a memorable childhood and great high school years. nothing much to worry about. so, i really 'pandang rendah" on all those people, they make these comments without having the thought that malaysia has actually provided them with a safe and happy place to live for so many years already.

i guess people make such comments because they are associating it with the politics in malaysia.( as in they hate all the orang besar in malaysia's political world)

malaysia is really a nice country with all it's places of attractions ( the islands, highlands..) and rich culture. it would be a great place to live in if there is less corruption( which means we need a clean fresh government), more environmental-friendly( government policy and malaysian's mind set), and lower crime rate( again this depends on the government).

Malaysia is still where my HOME is......


to those who are reading this post, i hope you are not one the brainless people who makes the nasty comments.

malaysian food for you: my favourite roti canai!!

and roti tisu

my personal favourites are the ones from Goodall Food court in Penang

(opposite PCGHS high school)

the roti canai is so so yummy and the roti tisu with banana slices is SUPERB.

i will take a photo of it when i go back to penang and post it up!

save the planet!

i have never expect myself to watch MJ's "This Is It" because i was never a crazy fan of his. i did not really watch his funeral event or download his songs. however, there are songs which i have been listening to through the radio ever since i was young- "I'll be there", "Heal the World", "Man in the Mirror" to name a few. i've been noticing some instant fans which he gained right after his death which to my opinion, are just superficials. they become MJ's fan because everybody is talking about him, everybody is buying his CDs, everybody is praising how good his moves are on stage. my 8-year old cousin was one of them. she has been asking me whether i know this song and that song, mostly to which i said i have never listened before. then i asked her "Girl, do u know who Michael Jackson is when's he's alive?". she replied "No". to reassure, i asked her again "So u only know him  after he is dead lah?" "yes."she replied. see, one solid evidence of MJ's instant fan. i know who is MJ even before you were born and now you're testing me whether i know his songs or not? of course, i did not say that to her coz that would be so rude.=) they become fans without even knowing who MJ actually is. 

Ok back to the movie. before we went in, i was hesitant whether i would doze off inside the cinema or not. actually we weren't keen to watch that movie but i think one of our friends insisted so the 11 of us just followed. to my surprise, the movie was actually not that bad. the background dancers were great! they must have been so proud with themselves to be able to dance for Michael. thay are the best among the best! NO JOKE. 
i thought Michael would be a very fussy person to work with due to the negative image of him in my mind. again, i was wrong. he expresses the things he wants in a polite way, makes sure his musicians get the message, and one good thing...he will say "God Bless you" to his musicians when they managed to reach his expectations. 

the last part was the best. 'Coz he sends the message of saving the environment to all his viewers. i feel that he is really sincere in his words. he said that it begins with US to SAVE the PLANET. makes perfect sense right? of course it makes sense. i guessed it is the environmentally-conscious side of him which develops my sense of respect for him. MJ, may you rest in peace.

so people, every tiny step you take will have a huge a impact on the planet! it is all up to you to choose wheter you want to SAVE your beloved PLANET or to KILL it. among the simple things you can do are:
1. say no to plastic bags when you're given one ( you are definitely killing the planet if you can't even do this)
2. use GREEN bags when grocery shopping
3. reduce and recycle
if, you're not doing any of these three simpliest effort, you are definitely killing the Planet!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
