DisMAY

There are really a lot of things that I wish to write. So many things had happened over the last 2 weeks, whether at uni or at home. But I can't really write it down here for various reasons. I am so unhappy and frustrated to the point that I wish to quit this uni right now. And just stop studying. Enjoy life. By enjoy life, I really mean just taking a break from all these meaningless things that occupied my life for the past 5 torturing months and I have to endure more for the next coming 3 months.. and it could drag up till 2 more years. I just wish to travel somewhere, alone with my camera, capturing moments in life that are precious to individuals. Just strolling around on streets where I feel safe. Stop by and snack around and continue strolling. Oh how I wish. How I wish...

GE13 and the Property Market

Created by Iproperty MY, the number one website in Malaysia. Whether you have a house for sale or are looking to buy.

It is now post-GE13 and the hype is still going on. I think elections had left many people very opinionated about what had happened and what is going to happen in the future. 

Unsurprisingly, from the survey by Iproperty MY, the top three policies that the respondents wanted the winning party to deliver on were more affordable and secure housing, equality for all races and fight against corruption. I agree. I've heard conversations between friends and parents about how the price of properties is rising to the point that is it no longer affordable. I also support equality for all races and fight against corruption - everyone deserves to have equal opportunities and we should put a stop to corruption in Malaysia instead of accepting it 'as a norm'.

Now, as the new government is formed and the upcoming announcement of the new Cabinet is going to be made soon, let's hope for the very best that these policies will come to past.

This Cina Wants Some Sneakers

image from Taylor Swift

In conjunction with the hashtag of the day, #ApaCinaMahu, I've decided to make a sneakers wishlist. Why sneakers wishlist? Cause recently, I've been browsing and looking for sneakers. I feel like getting one but it's so freaking expensive :'( And if I make a general wishlist... the list will never end. Hehe. So here's it:

1. THE Taylor Swift (limited edition) Red Keds

2. Van's Washed Textile Atwood, Women (Berry Pink)

3. Van's Canvas Authentic (Beach Glass/True White)

4. Van's Chukka Low, Women (Washed Canvas Black/Neon Pink)

5. Van's Atwood Low, Women (Castlerock/Princess Blue)

I like Van's sneakers as compared to Converse. No idea why but Converse's sneakers looks flimsy to me. Lol.

I also posted on my FB the top 10 list for #ApaCinaMahu in general. A few of my friends agree with me. T.T Biarlah the #1 kemahuan menjadi reality. Dah semakin gemuk nih  ヽ(´□｀。)ﾉ

P.S: If you don't know what's going on about #ApaCinaMahu, I'm referring to this.

First of all, as I am typing this, I'm having mixed feelings. You know they always say the more hope you put into something, that more disappointed you would feel.

I've gone from being desperate like - God, aren't You here with us?! God, where is Your divine intervention?! God, just where are You?? When are You showing up??


To this..telling myself to keep on believing..
I cannot describe how devastated I feel at the moment, not because how things turned out to be but I'm so angry at how process went on. I know I am not the only one feeling disappointed, cheated even. And I'm not even involved directly, so you could imagine how voters actually feel. Now I do understand why people feel like what they vote don't matter because of such incidents that will discourage them. I mean it feels like what you vote doesn't matter. 
I'm surrounded with friends that have dreams and ambitions to live abroad, outside of Malaysia. Some of them have already fulfilled this dream. They say it with their own mouth - they hate this country - but love their family and friends. Sometimes, I feel the same way. I mean my friends are leaving, why should I stay? It's not so much of a bandwagon thing, really, because I know why they feel that way. So everyday I struggle between the desire to go to another country and experience a better life or believing this inner self that tries to convince myself to stay. This is my home. This is where I belong. I can think of many reasons to leave this land, but one thing that keeps me back here is the ultimate longing to see how Malaysia will turn into a beautiful land once again. 
Take note, Malaysia will never be the same again. As much as I am utterly annoyed and disgusted by people who blindly supports one party and another due to own bias (I don't believe one party should be superior than the other - there should always be a healthy competition), there are more people in my generation who is now taking up the challenge to be more liberal and outspoken against corruption and injustice. 
Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world". Similarly, if we want our leaders to stop being corrupted or racist, we need to stop being corrupted or racist ourselves. Remember, even a RM10 bribery to a policeman to avoid getting saman is also corruption.
Someone said that freedom is not for the fainthearted, which I find to be very true. Nelson Mandela served prison for 27 years, and Martin Luther King, Jr and Gandhi were both assassinated. There is a price to pay but it will be all worth it in the end. 
Start today and press on. Whatever we do today will build the momentum for the next few years till the final moments. This is the time for young Malaysians to shine.
The day will come when Malaysia will rise up again. 

And the day is drawing closer. 

Never lose hope.
