Nav vs The Driver

Well, to all the folks out there, there's a particular reason why i'm quite late to post nowadays. Well, my keyboard got thrashed by my little cousin. So, i 'm right now typing this from my office without the knowledge of my boss.

This is how a story that took place 2 days ago while i boarded a bus to my place. I was so bloody exhausted that particular day as i had to finish up some account settlement which cost me 2 hours. By the time i took the bus, it was already 7.15 pm. I got into the rather old, and dirty bus. To be frank, my only hope at particular frame of period,after a screwed up day, was to get to my place as soon as possible. So,i asked the driver to sent me off near Giant, somewhere i live near to. To my utter disgust, the numbskull had the slighest glint of manner. He shouted at me by saying,Mimpilah,kepala otak awak saya nak masuk kat Giant( Dream on, your brains i'll get you near Giant. I was angry. I wanted to start an argument because the bus had a clear signboard stating that it would enter the area that i'm living.

So,with not much choice left, i had to take a risk to get down in a place which is approximately 1.7 km from where i live. Fatigued i am,I wanted to sit somewhere in the frontal area. As i was about to lay my roundie, again the moron shown his lack of manner.This time around, he went on saying, Awak ni apa,nak duduk kat tempat mana perempuan sial tadi berak ke? ( what are you, do you want to sit in the place where a damned women laid her shit). Oh come on, did that idiot expected me to possess some clairvoyance?I was shocked on the way he told that statement, he should have respected the poor lady. God knows her agony that caused her action. This ruthless fellow tarnished the image of Malaysians. There goes to ad in TV3 saying that- We are malaysians, we are courteous people. What utter nonsense. Is it trully justified?

The guy continued to show his lack of grey cells by shouting at every passenger who wanted to sit in that particular area. Finally came a Nigerian black guy who sat in that place. Suprisingly, this time, the driver did not attend this poor Nigerian. Instead, he and some Indonesian buggers begin to laugh their ass out as the Nigerian was sitting in that particular area. I couldn`t stand it anymore. I walked towards the driver and shouted at him. Everyone laid their popping eyes upon me. I wasn't bothered,either.

Me: encik, apa nama encik? (sir, whats your name?)
Driver: saya adalah 1000 nama,mana awak sakit( i 've gotten myself 1000 names, now does
that pain you?)
Me: encik, kenapa awak ini, tak boleh sopan sikit? ( whats wrong with you, can't you be
polite?)
Driver: ah, jangan nak sibuk ( ah, don t be a busy body)
Me: tak apa, awak jagalah, i nak repot kat polis!( Nevermind, i ll report to police)
Driver: reportlah,macamlah saya takut!( go, and report, as though i'm afraid!)

I didn't want to converse with that bastard anymore. Before getting down i asked the Nigerian to sit in my place. I left with a heavy and angered heart. It is people like this who ruin our country. Are we really those polite eastern folks?

Inequality in Gender

" A man of quality does not fear a woman seeking equality"


Guys, take a look at the quote that i stated above. Now, close your eyes and open, and answer the following carefully.

1)Do you get jealous if you girlfriend or any girls for that matter beats you in an examination ?

2)Do you feel uneasy if you and your ex-girlfriend broke up recently, but still remain in the same class as her?

3)Do you think that you ever feel uneasy if your girlfriend picks you up with her car from a
crowded place?

4)Are you happy with your financial standing as compared to your girlfriend?

Now, if you agree to more than 2 question stated above, you have a high possiblity of being a person who practices gender equality or like some ladies to use it, Male Chauvinist PIG. I have to agree at this point that men generally have greater ego as compared to the opposite sex, but what about the population of females in our deemed local universities? It's way higher than our male counterpart. What! are we in a deep slumber? Don't you ever blame it on the scientific theory which states than woman are generally more inclined towards educational settings. The fact here is that we, males,are generally too lazy. An example would be by stating a very lame statement which goes like this : Ah, these girls only know how to memorize the shit of the book, when you ask them some practical stuff you know how their face turn!! Every time i hear this, i really feel pity for you girls. Blame it on your older generation who suppressed your rights to enjoy life.

In those ancient civilisations (these traditions still exist though), woman are a subject to a second-class treatment. They can never sit in front of their husband , and married off at a very young age- when they are supposed to obtain education and other values in life. On contarary note, the male counterparts enjoy a good status,excellent treatment and the most importantly-They have a good and sound educational background(It may also apply to better survival skill). Till today, the traces which is catalystised by the older generation are obvious. Woman could never be the lord of the family( In most cases i've seen,that is) and they are generally turned down by a guy if,say,she earns RM 10000 per month and the guy only earns up to RM 3000. Believe me when i say this, men would never change when it comes to this matter. The ego is way too big for us. W e called it the proud androcentrism.

But, things have changed dramatically. Some have even gone exceedingly forward than male themselves,outwitting them in field generally dominated by us i.e politics, business. Take Emma Goldman for example, a great female who revolutionised the importance of feminism. Take a look at her quote i still adore when i first read it at 16-Ask for work. If they do not give you work, ask for bread. If they do not give you work or bread, take bread. Of course, she was jailed for this in 1893. The point is, we have to learn to accept things about the opposite sex. Why do we view them as the one who is supposed to cook,clean and held the utmost responsibilty in the family unit? Perhaps we men should sit back and ponder, isn't it better if responsibilties are shared? Of course, women too should not be carried away by this. Some things are better if you do, like, cooking. I am no position to say this, but do you know that when you cook something for someone you love, it's just not the plain Beriyani or Chicken Curry, it's the pinch of LOVE in your cooking that makes it so special.

With that said, i say, let us don't misuse the Male authority-It's a bad idea you know, we would never know when these girls would poison the food they specially COOKED for us. Hahaha!!

Val-Killing-Tines

I just don't get it about girls nowadays. Those were the days when they were exceedingly sweet with their murmur and had gone beyond our wildest dreams when it comes to show a sense of appreciation. Unlike today, they understood men better. As the era is taken by the globalisation storm, the whole saw a shameful twist. THEY DUMP YOU IF YOU DON'T GET THEM A FREAKING VALENTINES GIFT. I just dont get it.

Love is always a pleasant thing to talk about. Imagine yourself in a deep slumber, in your mind runs those vivid thoughts about your loved ones. Heck, boys love their girlfriend so much. It's the freaking ego of that opposite sex that ruins us. Do we need a special day to show your love for our loved ones? We are loving them every second. What's this mad materialistic pursuit for?
They don't need all this crap if they want our presence. After all, its the mutual understanding that makes a relationship run. Never commit if you can't even take a good care of yourself eg making sure your room is clean or perhaps a more simple thing like being punctual for classes.
How are you going to keep things straight if you don t even care for yourself?

Valentines is a special day for us to spend quality time with our loved-ones. We are always been bugged with heavy workload and mammoth responsibilities. Perhaps we can put things aside on this particular day and spend a little bit more time with that very someone. After all, nothing beats the need for attention than those pointless gift. THIS is priceless. Think about it!

I know it does not apply for everyone but,hey most are like that

Arranged Marriage...Is it still relevant?

Lets talk about a topic where views can be shared by both sex. I personally don't want to put me into a turgid situation where i might appeal to you as a sexist or as the title of my blog suggests, a lunatic.

Well, arranged marriage is one particular where i can't seriously incline myself to a proper stand. Strange as it may sound, but let me put it this way where everyone can understand. Some 3-4 months ago, i was talking to my aunt about marriage. What actually makes marriage last? Why does the marriages of the Eastern community seems to last so long unlike what we see among some Hollywood couple who practices T.F.T( Ashwin,please explain,its too offensive to display in my blog). Is it the lion-like ego of the man of the family who turns out to be the Lord who controls every fractionof happenings in the family. Or maybe it's the opposite sex who remains silent to what the Lord have to do and remain as the scapegoat? Her answer was pretty shocking- Arranged Marriage. If you ask me, i don't personally agree but i can't deny it anyway, taking into account the rate of divorce which seems to grow at a steady rate.

Firstly, let us ponder what actually appeals parents about arranged marriages. Our parents are the closest known human being to us, showering love every time you need them. Resurgence,resurrection,resuscitation,renaissance,revivification are the words best to describe what we might have gone through in our life. Yet, nobody could understand us better than our very own parents. So, when they have done so much in our life ie by giving us education and support, don't tell me they can't actually find someone who would fit our aura. Someone who could cook for you, give you the support like a good father would do and most importantly, thinks like a caring mother who feeds her own blood to her child. Some people who claim to so educated may come up to me and say, Hey you should be an ancient Indian King...dei macha, where on earth can you find someone like this? I don't deny it....but hope is what makes reality,right?Proponents of arranged marriage claim that arranged marriages are more successful than other marriages. They hold that the spouses in an arranged marriage begin without any expectations from each other, and that as the relationship matures, a greater understanding between the two develops, aided by their often similar socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds (Quoting from www.wikipedia.org ,2006)

Of course there's a bad site of arraged marriage. How can you actually be with someone who've never met in your life? Could you spend the rest of your life with that particular person? Or like a brave statement said in movie that i watched recently..." If i marry you, all i'm going to get is the same food, same treatment as your family member and of course, lose my virginity to you whom i've never met up and talked to before?( well,i'm talking about normal people who eats normal food and lead a normal life. So if you think you're some Jolie-Pitt couple, then i don't have words for you) It's quite true that Indians parents are selective when it comes to marriage. All they want is their child to have a nice family and the ability to raise the family just like they did.

With that points said, i've a situation for you. Let's put up a situation where you've become successful in your life and you've always been a fillial son or daughter. Your parents have never refused your views or your needs but they have one responsibility to be completed-To marry off you to a person of their choice. Being a good one, you agreed. A month later, you've met this person who is so bloody compatibale with you-A match made in heaven. But, you have an obligation to your parents who moulded you to what you are today. You tried talking with that person who meet about this and she/he gave you only one optin.What is your stand?

Modern Vibes in Hartamas

Have you had some sort of strange experience in some eatery lately?? Well i had a rather tantalizing one should i say. You know i am now the biggest broke-john, cash is no longer sticking with me. The moment i get cash, it's all gone within a speck of hour. Though the thought to save to buy some stuff had always been lingering deep inside, i seem to cannot get rid of rush to spend it on something particularly on food, since i've always enjoyed a good arguament with my mum, pertaining the home cooked food.

Yesterday, Nishant (my cousin,who 's back from UK) brought me to a Indian Pub in Hartamas,can't really recall the name, but i must say Nish seriously had a distinct taste when it comes to chics..........Whoa,it was beyond my wildest description,that place was simply awesome. While doing some stuffs guys would do in this heaven, i ordered some good food since i was the one supposed to give Nish a treat since he brought me a super cool Liverpool jersey ( nish, you lucky fag, you get to study in Liverpool and watch every single match, you freakin' lucky fag). Some mango lassi with some chips served well for us .

All of sudden a hot chic came near us and pretended to ask Nish that, hey dude you look like my boyfriend.....Inch to Inch.......and exact resemblance of my guy who broke up with me... Nish was
undeniably shocked but being a player by his own right, keep silent for a moment thinking that gosh,who on earth would be so dumb to say like that to a relatively unknown person. Aha, that's perhaps the pick-up line used by chics nowadays i thought to myself. Nish,by the way, had a good long conversation with that girl who went by the name of Aarthi( am i right,Nish?). Just wish that someone like that would come to me and say something similar like that....I'll be in 7th heaven,trust me,folks-That incident was an eye-opener...Lucky faggot Nish

Well at least,something positive happened after all. I paid the bill with RM 10 notes and as a return i got a Rm 100 note. God's all always fair,after all....ehem,sometimes that is! Now i've the money to spend afterall

Liverpool.....You'll never walk alone









That's the biggest humiliation for Liverpool ( sigh,sigh) suffered in the recent times. Man, 2-0 lost to the lamest club in English Football history,Chelsea. Now, i've to agree that money CAN do anything OK,Roman,you win!!!.But wait,if we could muster the strength together and pray...Some miracle would happen. Utterly disappointed i am, the only ray of hope for Liverpudlians is the Champions' league( which i think is the only SAVIOUR) for our left-over pride.

They deserve better don't they ?

At least for this man who made the difference to the team i would love for the rest of my life.

Scholars dilemma

This is a post i personally posted in Recom.org ( i am N-guy btw). Please do let me know your views on the pertaining matter. Thank You :)

The situation today is that people are being over dependent on scholarships . This actually ruins the actual meaning of scholarship as compared to last time. The thing here is that what might be a the actual reason behind it? The fame? or perhaps more accurate if i say you really wanted to lighten your family burden? If you prefer the latter then perhaps you are right one.

The issue that saddens me is that many child who could afford education seem to be extremely greedy when it comes to scholarships.Let's put a situation,student A and student B A is from a urban area.He goes to tuition for almost every single day, he owns his very own room with good facilities and his parents are quite well-to-so. B on other hand, is not so unfortunate. Both of his parents are illiterate,he has 4 siblings.Luckily for him,his parents at least gave a ray of hope by urging him to pursue education.However unlike A,he stays in a rumah murah,and has to share everything. When the results are announced,A scored 10 1As and B,scored 9 1A and 1 2A in Moral due the lack of proper guidance in his school.

Now can you see who would have obtained the scholarship? JPA in truth doen't really look into the matter so deeply ....they set up a marking scheme and poof!!!.......the rest, you know what i have to say! The biggest query of mine here is that why do they(affordable ones) have to hamper others' opportunities( i know someone,her dad owns a chain of successful business,yet she obtained a scholarship to pursue law in UK).If you have the cash why burden the deserving one? Another thing is that preference.....Some might have obtained the scholarship,but deny it anyway. The reason?? Well,countries like India,Indonesia and Russia do not appeal their aristocratic mind set. If your ambition is to become a doctor why bother the place in the first place? What you want is education and education is obtainable regardless of the place. A friend of mine even rejected a JPA offer to study medicine in PMC because, in her point of view,she had 13 1As so deserves the best.Can someone enlighten me on this pertaining mentality?? In the end we would lose up many bright yet unfortunate people like B who flees to obtain a better scope.

Another thing here is that why JPA scholars are taking pre-U qualifications like SAM,CPU,A-Levels and IB? i believe that STPM could be materialised as a solid pre-U qualification instead of those. Besides having an international recognition,it could be popularised just like what SSABSA and Edexcel done to popularize their respective qualification. Actually looking more in-depth,we could actually solve the whole Malaysian ranking dilemma. The reason is simple. If we open up STPM internationally, more bright mind can be absorbed into our education system. Take singapore for example, the success of NUS is due to many ASEAN bright minds have been given a chance to indulge in their system. Thats explains NUS's ranking in the 1st quartile. Thats the one solid reason why i personally salute NUS for coming up with some brilliant ideas to set the satndards high. I really hope we could come up in that very manner soon because i love my country very much........Don't let the attitude ruin everyone's progression

Someday.....I learn to fly my own

Man, i've always wanted to colour my hair and pierce some earrings. But, i'm always stuck with my over-protective parents who think thats some kind of evil influence. My god!!!! I've always wanted to do that and look like some cool dude who poses like some rock star. The frank truth is that i love vintage rock.....But again, sacrifice is the name of the game.

I've never been a good son. In fact i'm the biggest idiot(smilling with a sinister impression :-} ) in my family. Lol,now this might be rather peculiar for me to say,but, many don't know that i sleep like a cow in my ever-untidy room. I eat like a Jumbo but never ever gets satisfied with mum's cooking. Life goes on for me, a self proclaimed loner who never fails to condemn every single thing my sisters does.

well,thats just me..........Perhaps some day i'll learn to fly by my own. Besides thats the true meaning of the eternal parents love. They never fail to correct you but most might feel that their privacy is being threathen. Let's look into the wider scope of the world. To quote for one of my dad's saying, for every 1 good man,there's 9 bad man surrounding him.

That's the reality
