I've noticed myself that I get irritated rather easily nowadays. I'll be boiling if I sense myself being used, manipulated, poked fun at. These are the things that wont happen a few months ago. What changed me? I guess the surrounding plays a part, the people around me as well...I tend to show my displeasure and irk at things more often than I liked to. Anger that I can suppress in the past is being allowed to flow freely. I wont mince my words anymore, saying anything straight out without thinking anymore whereas I used to say things nicely previously. People said I am trying to be mean just to show that I am not a softie...yes I am, but not trying, because I dont even have to raise a sweat just to be mean. Foul words that I shunned previously are coming out almost every sentence...why I am so foul mouthed? I am always so, just that you guys dont know me well enough to notice that. Still think I am your typical softie and a nice guy to bully? YOU BETTER THINK TWICE!
Why God granted us this negative feelings of anger when HE knows its detrimental to health? Anger motivates you when used in a proper way, it destroys you when you are consumed by it...
To those I have irked in recent times, I am not apologetic! You probably deserved it somewhere or another for irking me in the past...ITS PAYBACK TIME!
From good guy gone bad

If you think like that, you are an idiot!
Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
(If I can't speak, how can I say a bad word)
Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
(If I got nothing to eat, how I know its bad?)
Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
(You still will complain no matter what, never seen a couple who never complain about each other)
Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.
(Dead already, what else to complain!)
Before
you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
(Your children will learn to complain too in the future)
Before
you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
(Is it an excuse not to clean the house?)
Before
whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
(The problem is I am having a car)
And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
(The same as above, I already have the job)
But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
(There are still a lot of self perceived holier than thou people)
And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around
(Yup, alive to be depressed again later)
yeah right...its human nature dumbasses, when you have something you want more. We will only crave for things we dont have...wake up fools!

Change has come
2 points that caught my attention...
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
"This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the colour of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes, we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbour and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "we shall overcome". Yes, we can.
A man touched down on the Moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes, we can."
Obama inspires me...politics might be dirty but we must believe we can change to be better. YES WE CAN!

Quickie about everything
The events of the past few weeks...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manchester United trashed Stoke 5-0(cheers!!), Arsenal lost tamely to Aston Villa 0-2(Hooray! Bye gooners), Hamilton won F1 driver's championship(I'm for Raikonnen, but fair play to Hamilton), Obama became the 1st Black President of USA(3 cheers for Obama...the triumph of the minority!)
As an avid Manchester United fan, nothing's more satisfied to see your biggest rivals crash and in the unlikely scenario of being relegated to a lower division. The so called advocates of beautiful football, Arsenal a.k.a. the gooners are indeed pleasing to the eyes but painful for their supporters. The team can play so beautifully and yet lose the match. As to Hamilton, he won it under ultimately Ferrari-biased situation...yeah he deserved it.
And what's more inspiring to see a new face as the most powerful man in the world. Obama, regardless of what many still think about him, is hugely popular outside the US. If the world were to join in the voting process, Mccain might get a serious trashing with 70% opting for the rookie. It could be said that Bush's unpopularity made Obama's day. I am sincerely hoping for the day the same can be achieved in Malaysia where the candidate is chosen regardless of race.
Can Manchester United be King of Europe again? Yes we can!
Can Malaysia win the world cup? No they can't in this millenium.
Can we believe in Obama's ideas for change? Yes we can!

Me...12 years ago
12 years ago, I am...
timid,
nerdy, (ppl think I still am now)
skinny,
innocent, (nobody will believe if I say I was)
not bespectacled, (my eyesight were pretty good then)
punctual
weak in sports,
quite diligent,
quite obediant,
rather shy,
a nobody in class.
Human being changes but not many as drastic as me,
Today, I am...
not punctual at all
outgoing
willing to use all means to get things done
eloquent in all sorts of crap
still innocent...yes, you expect another response from me?

Memoirs of the dimpled smile...
3:54 am, the time where most normal people would have been asleep...what am I doing then? In this moment of silence where I can only hear the clock ticking and the sound of my own heartbeat. I had time to reflect on my day. What had I done today? To be honest nothing productive...
My memories of the past, the moments of joy and anguish came back to me like a tornado...BANG, I suddenly found myself thinking back of my primary school years...the first girl I set my eyes on is surprisingly nothing romantic to rave about, she was sitting next to me in class...well teachers like to mix us around. She was such an angel then, porcelain skin unblemished with pimples(we are still young then), a dimple when she smiled. I would fall for her instantly if I knew what love is at that tender age. Nobody is perfect but at that time I think she is quite close. A very good friend indeed, she stood up for me when I am teased...she was unfazed when people start addressing her as my girl friend...being true to the timid type, I tried to avoid controversy by avoiding her. How I regret it, after primary six...she is lost...dissappeared totally from my sight...10 years down the road, I was wondering how is she doing now...the angel of my childhood.
The only memory left was the scant image of her dimpled smile...

The junior's poem
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake a dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One hand clasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One world can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
I dedicate my own poorly made verse for the juniors
One meal can feed the starved,
One treat for the seniors will endear you to us!
so do remember to treat your seniors a nice meal you know...
One flower can wake a dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One hand clasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One world can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
I dedicate my own poorly made verse for the juniors
One meal can feed the starved,
One treat for the seniors will endear you to us!
so do remember to treat your seniors a nice meal you know...
