Was browsing through Yahoo! when I saw this headline: Fire Starts at Petronas Twin Tower.
First thought. Luckily it was in the middle of the night or else, being Malaysians, a stampede will occur among the crowd.

Random thoughts...
Was watching a Singapore channel and there's an ad about Daredevil the movie showing next week on that channel and something struck me.
Why did the censorship board ban the movie Daredevil (some say it is ban due to the title contain devil) and still let allow Man Utd matches to be aired?

The Malaysian Dream
Yes people I am still alive and kicking and so is this blog. Been busy for the past few weeks so I am not able to update my blog. Ok for my first blog entry since... since... a very long time I will talk about my Malaysian Dream for this National Day.
So what dream am I dreaming of you might ask? Well, I dream that one day we will have one united Malaysia. We might looked like a peaceful multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural country on the outside, but if u look deep enough you can see we are very much seperated. Racial discrimination might not be at a deadly level, it is still very disturbing. It is not uncommon to see one race stereotyping another. It is also not uncommon to see people sticking to their own race when it comes to choosing friends.
But then again, there are still some people who can mix around with other races. So lets hope one day not just these people but everyone in Malaysiacan be more racial tolerant and make Malaysia more united. Only by uniting the people can we see a better Malaysia.

Zebra Crossings and Malaysian Drivers
Just one week ago the government finally painted a zebra crossing on the main road in front of Emerald Park. I was kinda happy then since the government finally realise that the road is very dangerous. What made me even more happier is the removal of a small portion of the barrier allowing us pedestrians and cyclist to cut through the playground to the main road instead of taking one big round to get there.
After they completed the zebra crossing I realise something. Suddenly my joy seems shortlived. I completely forgotten that MALAYSIAN DRIVERS DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ZEBRA CROSSINGS!!! Its like the zebra crossing is totally non-existant. They won't slow down and let the pedestrians cross the road. NO~ being Malaysian drivers, they will just speed up when they see the zebra crossing hoping that the pedestrians will not have a chance to cross the road, if they did slow down and let the pedestrians to cross the drivers behind them will hurl insults at them (in the privacy of their own cars of course).
Oh well, that's Malaysian drivers for you. See how unique we are from foreigners. No wonder we are all thought how unique Malaysian culture is during our time in government schools.
