Many Issues, many decission and many voices

For the past few days many decission on controversial issues was made. Some take it as a good decission, some not and some just don't care. Some issues was blown out of proportion, some were used by certain parties to create tension, to gain limelight or just to show that they have a cause whatever it is. Here, you will find my take on this certain issues. Some of you might agree with me, some of you may not and some of you just probably don't care. But this is where i chronicled my journey is this place called earth, so suck on it.

Lina Joy
I think this case was used by so many parties to attack each other and for some to just gain lime light. However i believe the issue here is Line Joy's refusal to go to Syariah Court and get the letter saying she is no longer a Muslim. On her part i believe that she just probably wanted the lime light. I don;t really know. But just treat the Syariah Court as any other government office. Go through the procedure and get the letter. After that go to JPN and get the word Islam remove from your I.C. No big deal. Its not about religious difference here. It is not discrimination to other religion. I would probably say its a discrimination to Muslim. But procedure is procedure. I was told that last year, about 16 (couldn't remember the actual number) was given the letter stating that they are no longer Muslim. So, it is not that she can't get the letter. Basically it is just a case that was blown out of proportion when so many people get involved.

Salary Increase for Government Servant
I'm not entirely happy when the government announced the increase. This is because, everytime government servant (GS) get pay increase, prices will go up. This is basic economic theory. Government is the largest employer in Malaysia. When they increase salary, more people will have higher purchasing power. Demand will then rise. Due to supply inability to react to the sudden change in demand, prices will rise since demand is higher than supply. Generally price will go up. And it sucks for us who are not getting any salary increase. Some of them do deserve a pay rise, especially police officers and teachers. Increasing salary is the easy part, but how will the government fund this?

A source told me that currently 36% of Petronas oil revenue is being used by government now. That is probably the highest ever level (maybe its more during the economic crisis. We may never know). Didn't the government was the one who wanted to rely less on natural resources and move towards industrial and services? This is not moving forward, it's a step backward.

Remember that the budget will soon be tabled in September or October (didn't bother to go check. Its late already. Someone please find out for me. Thank you). With 9-MP starting, don't be suprise if there is a lot of suprises in there. I expect it to be a bad budget. Especially to people who haven't gotten any salary rise like me. Get ready to fall back under the poverty line. HUHuhuhu!

Manchester United trip to KL
Being a ManU fan, i would say this suck! But rationally thinking, cancelling it is the right thing to do. It is a never going to be a favourable outcome for ManU if they decide to go ahead. They wouldn't want to anger the AFC and FIFA. Both of them have said that they disagree with the trip and wanted ManU to cancel it. But instead of doing the safe thing and just not get involved, our beloved PM made a statement supporting the trip. And for that, he got a slap on his face. ManU decided to withdraw and the matter is settled. FAM should have think ahead since they already signed an agreement with AFC not to host any other tournament while hosting the Asia Cup. This shows that FAM is poorly managed. No wonder our football team haven't gotten anywhere despite the millions spend on them.

Man U will be signing Hargreaves, Anderson & Nani
At last ManU have agreed to sign the three players. Agreement with the clubs have been made and now what is left is for the players to sign their contract. Hopefully they will bolster ManU's squad and defend their Premiership title and even win the Champs League. Btw, this is just a sidetrack from what i've been discussing. It is still however one of the decission made this week.

“ Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO mendesak Pua dan DAP mengambil langkah memperbetulkan kata-kata mereka yang langsung tidak bertimbang rasa dan begitu menghina sekali.”

“Pua’s negative comments about the civil service can cause considerable damage to the morale and image of the public sector.” Khairy Jamaluddin

Deq's Wedding

A friend of mine got married yesterday. Congratulations to Heydeq (not her real name of course!) and her husband Raihan on their matrimonial. May both of them have long and wonderful marriage.

Captain Jack Returns

Went to see the movie last friday. And the verdict - IT WAS AWESOME! Not as many wittiness as the previous Pirates of the Caribbean series but overall, the action and storyline was better. It just show that you can't trust any pirates. They just tend to screw you over. Captain Jack Sparrow return from the dead in this movie. Plus we now know how why Davy Jones cut his heart out. All i wan't to recommend, GO WATCH THIS MOVIE! NOW!

Paintball or Painball

Paintball - A sport in which participants eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with paintballs (spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye) shot from a compressed-gas-powered gun, commonly called a marker. (source: wikipedia)

I've started playing paintball about a month ago. And now i have developed a love for it. I guess anyone of you who haven't played it before, you should go and play it. Gather your friends and just go to one of many arenas and start shooting at each other. Several place that you play this game is Xtion Paintball Park, TT Sports Park, Mudtrekker Paintball, Rimba Harmonis and Dusun Ali King among others. Personally i've played in Rimba Harmonis and Dusun Ali King.

Another game will be planned probably after my CFA exam. Probably will go to Mudtrekker. They have an urban scenario arena. Might be interesting. Previously both place i've played is a jungle scenario.

Top Five...High Fidelity..

After watching High Fidelity, i decided to compile my top 5 movie of all time. This is inspired by John Cusack in the movie, who keep making up top 5 of every bloody thing that has to do with his life.

4. Saving Private Ryan

3. Reservoir Dogs

2. The Shawshank Redemption

1. The Godfather Part II

Mind you that this list will be constantly updated whenever a worthy movie comes along. Also mind that the list is based on movies that i have watched.

What say you people?

p.s- more top 5 will come later..just you wait

I'm angry at someone

Have any of you ever been angry but you dunno you angry at what? I guess maybe some of you experienced this weird thing before. Maybe you haven't but honestly its not a good feeling. As a result i drove for about 2 hours without knowing where i'm going. Maybe this got to do with so many relationship problems that my friends are having now. It's a bad past two month. This make me glad that i'm not in a relationship now. In a certain way, it made me think that women are a complicated being. Maybe thats why men are women are meant to be together. They complement each other. What i'm trying to say is that, don't be gay. Hahahahahahha. Nah, do whatever you like as long you are happy. Enjoy your day.

The Beginning

After 3 years of occasional blogging, i have decided to blog more often and chronicle my life. It is not that my life is interesting or anything, it's just that i think i should write something to share my opinion. You might want to read it, but if you opt no to, what the hell. It is my blog anyway. Feel free to come and visit the site or if you find it boring you can just go masturbate or do whatever that makes you feel better. Till the next post, adios!
