Life is pretty unpredictable, that is probably an understatement. It is supposed to be that way, right? If everything is routine, it would be pretty boring. So this week, the nation was hit by a sex video scandal shocker that turned out to be a fruad. I say it's fruad because no way it can be true, you think DSAI is a fool? But honestly, I am immuned by now, anything and everything can happen in Malaysian politics.
I am not a specialist, so I am going to put down in my layman reasonings. As I already said, DSAI is no fool, he won't be screwing hookers during this time when he is already in trial and the Sarawak State election is around the corner. Not to mention, the general election pretty soon too. DSAI may not be a saint but I am sure he is not a compulsive bi-sexual maniac.
I first learnt about who DSAI was when I was in primary school. He was the Education Ministry then. He was the reason my classmates laughed at me. I spelt his name Anuar instead of Anwar in a test paper. Even to this day, I don't find anything funny in that, I didn't care who was who in the government then, so not knowing the correct spelling of his name is not a big deal! Plus I was only in primary school :(. I was pretty upset about it. Evidently, I still am upset since I still can recall the matter! (Geez, do I need some therapy to let it go?)
Later, in UM, during our induction for 1st year, he came to give a speech. I recalled then he was a fantastic orator. I didn't really get what was the gist of the speech but I was impressed and enjoyed his speech. Also later, when I was more mature, I didn't really like him because I heard that he was a haughty minister. But when he was brought down ruthlessly like a common criminal, I begin to change my preception of him. Mainly because the things that he was accused of didn't make sense to me at all. Even if he was really a homosexual, he didn't deserve to be dragged down with no nicety, afterall, he was the DPM. That's when I think things went downhill for Malaysia. Since then bad things and badder things start to happen to our beloved country.
DSAI could have put his tail between his legs, take the wealth offered to him and leave the country. But he stayed, he was imprisoned, then released from prison and still he stayed. That's when I became convinced, he is here because he really cares and wants to make this country better. He may not be spotless clean and sinless but he is way way way better then most of people who are in power just to suck the fat out of the country for themselves. Ask yourselves, does he really need to take all this shit thrown at him, continously? But why is he taking it? I believe he has made it his life's purpose to save Malaysia from the clutches of evil. Needless to say, he is very important as the chance of change in Malaysia. This is proven by the dirty and desperate tactics against him.
I am not trying convert anyone's political views. Basically, just ask yourselves these questions. Can we trust the justice system to be just? Can we trust the police to be professional? Do you honestly believe the MACC as they spew crap? Do parents have confidence in our children education in the country? Are we teaching kids to be future racist? Do you honestly think Malaysia is doing great or getting worse?
Why do I care? I am just pendatang Cina. Just go migrate somewhere. But the truth is, I know no home but Malaysia. I do not have any interest to 'find' my ancestors in China, I don't read or write Mandarin. Instead I speak good Malay. I like and respect good people, regardless of their races. I am proud of Malaysia when we get into the international news for the right reasons. Sorry for getting kind of emotional but I, and the rest like me, love this country as much as any other Malaysians. We are Malaysians, no one is more Malaysian then the other.
I want to steal this starter line from Martin Luther King Jr., "I have a dream...". My dream is a Malaysia with no racism, no discrimination, no corruption, no more crap. When the time comes, please choose the correct people you think can help Malaysia regain her dignity. Real reforms need time, things may get worse before it gets better. But most definitely, we cannot let our country get worse and worse by the years.
I made some pyjama pants for my boys and they are happily wearing them to sleep last night. It's been hard to find cheap and comfy long pants for them to wear to bed, so I thought it would be great to make them some. It turned out to be fairly easy to make. I just needed to cut the cloth into 2 identical pieces (see pic) and join them up, hem and put an elastic around the waist and hem the bottom and voila! The pants turn out great. Now I might make some shorts for my hubby and myself using the same technic. 
I also have to shop for a new handbag as mine is going to break. I think over the years, I have changed like one bag one year. Maybe it's time to consider getting an expensive and branded Coach or LV bag that will be longer lasting. I am not very particular about bag fashion, something practical and doesn't look like it belongs to grandma will be fine. And I am a lazy person when it comes to changing bags to suit the outfit. To me, the bag should carry all my necessary stuff that I will need and I do not need to port things here and there. Because, I know me, I will misplace stuff if I were to change bags frequently. So now I am on a look out. Should I spend a few hundred ringgit that will last me a year or a few thousand which may last me longer :(. If only money grows on trees.
