Returning Home

Yes, I am returning to KL soon, after being posted in Melbourne for almost 11 months. When I started to inform my friends of the return, 8 out of 10 asked me the below questions.

“Oh, are you coming back for good?”
“Why not extend your stay,  you don’t like it there?”

What are these questions suppose to mean? First, I was intended to post here for 11 months ONLY on a project and it was made clearly to everyone that knew me coming to Melbourne. Second, my company has no intention of extending my visa, because the plan was to gain experience from the project here and transfer the skills to projects around ASEAN. Third, why is it everyone will assume me that I want to become PR or citizen in Australia knowing my “pattern” (The history of me abandoning my UK working visa 5 years ago and choose to go back KL).

Have I been away for so long? Or am I not welcome back home till most of my friends now thinking that I “migrated” to Australia? I actually felt quite agitated when people asked me those questions. Next time when I tell you I am returning, just say “Welcome back” with a hug or fullstop. No more silly questions, please.

And I am saying out loud here again…YES, I AM GOING HOME! with a big smile on my face. Do welcome me back… because it could be just a short encounter as I am likely to travel for work again.

Spring is here!

Spring has finally decided to take charge of the weather. It was still cold yesterday night and this morning. But hey, look, temperature rising, rising and rising…Even up to 28 in this coming Saturday…

I shall go to beach this weekend and chuck away my winter clothing =D

See how Time changes a place

Interesting, that four centuries ago, Manhattan is just an island of serene nature forest and stream…Amazing or Shocking?

和好睡眠说拜拜

曾几何时，一觉到天明变成了一项奢侈？

现在晚上睡不好的待罪羔羊可多了。除了最初的过五不能碰咖啡和茶，现在竟然在晚上喝红酒也会让我失眠。不同的是，咖啡和茶，让我迟迟不能入眠。红酒倒是让我倒头而睡，但是半夜突然惊醒，然后眼睁睁的望着天花板，左翻右复，数完绵羊，两句钟后，才迷迷糊糊再入睡。

其它睡不好的理由可以是太冷，睡到一半因手脚冰冷而惊醒，或因睡前裹得太多而睡到一半被闷得受不了。又或者被外面的电车声给吵醒，憋尿憋的不能再憋而不得不醒，上完厕所后又睡意全消。

写到这里，已经快十一点半了。在一个星期一的夜晚，对一个早睡的人算是加班了。今天睡不着的理由应该可以归罪于下午三点的卡布奇诺吧？还是我不得不承认，我也加入了年龄逐渐增加，睡眠不如以前的一族？

什么理由都好，希望和好睡眠说拜拜只是个过渡期，让我再回复一觉到天明的本色。

Happy Merdeka Day.?

Is the once a year all nation celebration day again. 52 years had we come along, it is always the stress of the government, union among all the races, Satu Malaysia. But just ask yourself sincerely, is this happening?

The unfairness treatment and discrimination is getting worst with day after day uncosiderate people who think they owned the Boleh land, and should therefore be granted endless privileges on the expense of the other people.

Recently, more and more barbaric acts seem on the media. On one hand they “proposed” to ban selling of alcohol in Shah Alam, in the name of respecting the Muslim. Then on the other hand, they had this demonstration with a dead cow head to urge a hindu temple to be moved out of Seksyen 23, an area they claimed to be Muslim area only and hence not a single inch is allowed for other religion to stand hold. Where is the same respect and consideration that they asked for others when it comes to their religion?

Merdeka Day is a day that we celebrate all together. Ask any of the Indian or Chinese on the street. I can say 99% of us can tell you straight in the face that we are proud to be Malaysian, we love it here, and its Home for us.  We care so much about this place, that’s why we tolerate, and that’s why we get angry when the boundary of being considerate and respect gets cross and being abused.

If YOU do love Malaysia,  stop all the barbarian act, love others as being part of Malaysia. Don’t make us leave the land we love. Because one good day, when there only left YOU in this land…we are going to bring away the prosperity of Malaysia as well. YOU so know this…don’t YOU?

Happy Merdeka Day.
