  • Impromptu Excursion


    Well, in two more days, I'll be off to Sabah for an escapade of sorts.

    Another one of my impromptu yet well planned excursion. At first it was supposed to be an outlet for my scuba diving passion - me having to get out from Sarawak due to the battering monsoon that makes it impossible to go out to the sea. What is supposed to be just a trip to Kota Kinabalu - now extends to cover Kudat, Sandakan, Semporna, and a whole lot of islands. Labuan might even be explored. The land and the sea, mountain slopes and the sandy beaches. Yes, my friend and I have included Mount Kinabalu as a destination, though only for the sake of exploring the foothills.

    "Am I crazy?" I asked myself time and time again.

    "Yes, you are. And that what makes you special!" as I answered myself.

  • pictures of the day (Jan 8th, 2010)




    Stop sending spam to my inbox, Maxis. I am fed up with all those stupid promos, 'gambar panas' and
    whatever bullshit you are spreading around. Last thing I need is a 1Malaysia poll at this time and moment.




    Ha, ha, ha... this made my day. Laugh hard, really, really Hard. Reminds me of that Pussycat Dolls song.

  • in the name of the Creator


    The title of this entry seems very appropriate and fitting. If we can't agree on whether Allah is God or Tuhan, why not used the word 'Creator' as He is the creator of all.

    But... off to the essence of this post.

    Admittedly, I am furious about all this 'Allah' fiasco.     People, or most of Malaysian seems to forget that while it seems that a certain Muslim quarter are offended by this issue... so are the millions of East Malaysian Christians. We have been using the word Allah (or rather Allah Bapa) in many of our Bahasa Malaysia services for years without us being confused or anybody confused. Now that a certain group is playing such sensitive issue that has not been an issue for years until now - I feel like we are being treated like an idiot.

    Have people forgotten about the views, opinions and most important of all - FEELINGS of us East Malaysians?

    Maybe, all those only counts when we are the majority of votes that determines the country's current ruling party. But I guess we now have regretted that decision.

    I found it totally disgusting that none of the fact that worshipers in Sabah and Sarawak has been using the term Allah in their services - has been taken into account. Never mind if we have been doing so even before Malaysia was formed. People are only focusing on the exclusivity of the word without looking at the point of view from the 'minority' few.

    Damn these political people who are playing with God's name!!! Law of the world might favour you but not in the afterlife.

    ----------------------------------

    Sometimes I am saddened by the reaction that the Catholic community or church have decided to keep rather mum on the matter. I am expecting a more vocal and defensive mood - but no, people have been quiet.

    Not even us Christians of many branches talk about this issue when we got together on our private time. Adalah a few times with most of the response "Bodoh lah!"

    Maybe because it really is a stupid fight?

    There has been no sermons in my memory of church-going since the issue elapsed and relapsed that the priest has taken the controversy as a topic. No defending whether we are entitled to use the word. Nor were there any biblical references being cited.

    Nope. Only the elaboration of some bible passages from the weeks reading, how it is applied to our daily life, we should follow the path... bla, bla, bla...... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Nothing about Allah!

    NOTHING.

    Wait, there was one time. But the priest was mentioning about tolerance. Yes, tolerance - as he ended the English mass with Bahasa Malaysia words of worship. (Yup, it's Bahasa Malaysia still here - not Bahasa Melayu).

    Tolerance. Where do all of us stand then?

    ----------------------

    A warning to those people flaming this idea - please consider the sensitivity of your brothers, regardless of which God he is worshipping (which is the very same one God, hello?!)

    We people of Sabah and Sarawak are also part of these so called 1Malaysia.

    Or only 'one' for some people.

  • a letter of st fabian to the glorious basterds


    Salah satu sifat manusia yang aku benci ialah... kebiadapan.

    Or in English they say it as being fucking RUDE.

    Terutama sekali bila sikap macam babi ni (at least babi sedap and cute. Kenapa babi selalu menjadi mangsa contoh negatif. Fine, babi makan taik - tapi manusia makan rasuah. Guess who'll end up in hell huh?) dibuat kepada orang yang innocent dan baik hati. Cakap baik-baik dijawab dengan nada suara kasar dan gaya sombong sial.

    Perlukah sifat macam ni ditunjukkan semata-mata untuk intimidate? Adakah sikap macam ni akan mempercepatkan kerja? Well, excuse me - kita manusia sama saja. Kau kaya sikit, so what? Di dunia tok ajak. You think ko bayar banyak boleh treat orang macam sampah? Pi mampuslah. Pergi general hospital nun lagik ko ditendang before entry. And if you are really filthy rich - jangan pakai kredit card or card plastic cop insuran company. Pas ya mintak macam-macam. Kami bukan hamba abdi disuruh sia sitok ok?

    And another thing. Jangan harap boleh sukati dapat MC dari hospital swasta. Ko bayar - so what? Entitled lah dapat MC terus macam ya? Kenak sik mintak death cert terus - dapat cuti forever and ever. Mun setakat flu hingus meleleh, baik beli jak tisu sumbat lubang idong ya. Lukak kecik ala-ala calar superficial pun mintak cuti juak? Lain kali datang dengan stab wound. Padah jak sik maok datang kerja!!!

    ------

    Sabar. Pernah sik dengar perkataan ya?

    Mun sik tauk pergi enrol pre-school balit. Staff nang duak org jak - handle kerja beribu-ribu. This is an emergency department bukan spa resort. Sik boh terpacak depan kaunter mintak kena layan if there is another emergent case. Which part of 'Have a seat' ko sik faham? Kau mauk aku tarik kerusi suruh ko duduk kah?

    Ohh... another thing. Antibiotic hanya untuk bacterial infection ajak. Bukan untuk segala-gala fever and 'feeling unwell-ness'. Jangan datang sebok2 kat ER bila baru jak sehari ko makan ubat diberik Dr. Mun maok sembuk cepat, carik bomoh bukan pergi spital!!!
