《无间道》

梁(朝伟):我要的东西呢?

刘(德华):我要的你未必带来。

梁 :什么意思?你以为我上来晒太阳啊?

刘 :给我一次机会。

梁 :怎么给你机会?

刘 :以前我没得选择,现在我想做个好人。

梁 :你同法官说啦,看他给不给你做个好人。

刘 :那就让我死。

梁 :对不起,我是警察。

刘 :谁知道?

大家应该都熟悉《无间道》第一集当梁朝伟和刘德华在天台上的这段对话。其实,“偶尔”做好人并不是很难,难在一辈子要做好人。有谁天生不做错事?佛学说:改邪归正,好比把一杯污浊的水倒入清水。久而久之,水会慢慢变得清澈。每件事情扮演好人的角色确实很难,可是并非是我们想扮好人,而是我们觉得我们有必要引导更美丽的结局......

派报很爽啊?

我试过一个人在24小时快餐店独自等待天明。整夜之长的确出乎预料!慢慢流长的时间,坐睡不得。望着窗外,有的只是“夜猫”流荡。等到凌晨三点多,终于出现最不熟悉的摩多--派报摩多。为什么不熟悉?因为我们每天早上起床享用美味早餐时,派报uncle大多数已经顺利完成任务把报子送到我们家。所以平时我们是不容易看到派报摩多的。他们默默付出的功劳,严格且不客气来说,要比一些天天坐在政府部门冷气房“劳苦功高”官员来得还要高。所以我们能不能给他们一点尊敬,在他们欢庆新年时送上最温馨的一声“新年快乐”?!!!

早前有人说我国某族群垄断我国派报业,导致某族群放假时直接影响报章的传送,大部分国人不能及时收到时事资讯(其实那位发表人想说巫统党员不能从报章上得到巫统大会的一手消息)。发表者如果稍微注意日历,就能知道那时是我们国家三大民族之一的佳节,也就应该知道他们会放假。如果有什么重要的资讯要传送,就应该之前想好方法,而不是赖帐!

连小孩子都知道新年时学校放假,难道还要人家“新年流流”出门派报?我的大小脑都想不到有什么理由新年不放假。难道要等到平时TNB失职全国大停电大家收工回家休息?

在这个连小学生都知道是多元种族的国家,国民应该不分你我和谐共处,不侵犯他人权益,更何况是新年放假的基本权利!

所以都说了,兴都权益大集会不完全是没有理由的!反省吧......

Keep it up, Don't give up!

Visited a friend on last Thursday. Actually is a former classmate. But to be frank, we never talked more than 20 sentences in 4 years in the same class. the person is Jagsham, an Indian friend.

Quite happy to see him recover from cancer, now everything is OK after a year-long kemotherapy, it must be torturing, through everyone imagination. Cheers for him...

Let's continue our life with full of kindness and happiness. No matter how unlucky you're now, or facing downfall, PLEASE don't give up your life. Tomorrow is still coming...

Dear Mr Samy

I recalled the time when i wrote essay or just build simple sentences for my primary school homeworks.

Often, no matter in what languages (BC,BM or BI), when coming to write a story, i started with:" One day, Ah Meng,Ali and Samy....." My emphasize is on the name Samy, as a symbolised name for Indian community. There are a lot of indian friends named Samy in this country, but their fortune are rather in great different. There are some holding high post in the government, there are some offered to contribute in commercialise private sectors with high pay. However i am very sure that there a lot, and a lot more with the same name living nowhere except in the rubber estates, which their salary are well known for everyone of us, struggling with basic needs like clean water supply, electricity and hygiene factors.

Maybe someone gotta lend them a pair of hands to upgrade their living standards, as our country is trying very hard to shorthen the gap between the rich and the poor.

A right move with Menteri Besar!!!

The latest statistic shows that there is an estimation of i billion population in India, there is 32 ministers in the council, also known as cabinet in malaysia.

However our country's population is only their 3%, and yet we have 34 members in our cabinet. And yet there are lots of complaints everyday concerning the efficiency of governing departments.

Quite admire the Menteri Besar of Selangor, Dr. Khir who implemented an award named "Broom Award", to the dissatisfactory government agencies, to "appreciate" their performance for the past whole year. However there are sounds on negative side to the accomplishment of the award. One of the interesting complaints is it brings "Sial". Well stepping into the 21st century many years ago, there are still minority of them talking about "Sial". Is that funny? A broom is clean, so we can use it to clean the house. If it is dirty, who dare to hold it? I wonder which house can exist without the usage of this "sial" thing. My house got 3, for different areas.

Obviously, Dr. Khir's motive is trying to motivate the staff to show their brilliant performance for the next period, and to gain confidence from tax payers. It's easy to understand why Dr.Khir using this method. If the staff can listen to the orders to work hard previously, it is rather better to use a carrot than the cane(Broom Award).

I strongly support Dr. Khir for his positive action by sponsoring brooms for the award next year!

Kevin Rudd, a role model for politicians to follow

Try to communicate, try to understand, try to participate, at least try to know the culture of our friends.

That's a interesting story about Kevin Rudd to share ,the new appointed and elected Prime Minister of Australia, he knows chinese language. Why interesting? Many of non-Chinese worldwide may be able to say a few words in Mandarin. However,the critical part is, he is a politician. Master in Mandarin, broke into fluent sentences and even cracked a joke during the public speaking in Beijing, studied ancient history of China, Rudd obviously worked hard along his path towards ministry.

To view from the prospect of politics, if he spreading sweats and tears for years to study Mandarin in the motive to win over the 3% votes of Chinese people in Australia, that's not worth. The cost is rather too high. Therefore, the learning of chinese language is not a political weapon. To me, he learns mandarin, is a motive to deepen his knowledge and the culture of the largest population of the world. By broadening his mindset, the new elected prime minister, may be able to think big for his future. Not only for his own politic route, but also a change for every Australian to learn something from their cabinet leader.

Let's keep our view in our lovely country. Sometimes i observe that when a minister or a YB in other races speak one or two words in Mandarin, like "da jia hao", "xie xie ni", and the famous "gong xi fa chai", we may be joyous to hear that. Maybe the VIP just simply learn the pronounsations of the few words on their journey to attend a public function or what, thinking that those few words may catch the people's mind, or to show some respect to their friends in other races. I was glad to hear those words, but that is before i know Kevin Michael Rudd...

There is only 3% of chinese people in Australia, very minor compared to our country, which contributed a lot before and after the independence. After 50 years of independence, any of non-Chinese sitting in the ministry, can speak like Rudd?

Lover's Concerto

How gentle is the rain
that falls softly on the meadow
birds high up on the trees
serenade the clouds
with the melody

See there beyond the hills
the bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
made this day for us
Just to fall in love

You hold me in your arms
and say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful

Now i belong to you
from this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
and i'll give to you
every part of me

Don't ever make me cry
through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally

You hold me in your arms
and say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful


This is a nice song! Well, recall when listened to the 1st time, probably when i was still a Form2 innocent boy, this theme leave a memory in my mind...

Life as a blogger, begins...

In fact, no point for me to deny, i am not a computer literate. Thanks my sister, Yee Leng, to the birth of this blog. Maybe i couldn't make the blog ownself without her hand and brain, kindly appreciate. Once again to emphasize, this blog is created for my own sake, and for any passers-by who wish to leave your comments here. Hope the contents never, and never, create any problems to my lovely 23m fellow Malaysians, and 6.6b residents of the world currently. I like to write, of course to write what i observe and think around the issues related to our daily life. It may not be absolute correct, and maybe just an opinion, from a member of you... Cheers for my first step...

a lovely theme
