Paradoxical irrationalities.

Dear readers,

Amidst this pandemonium, of September 16^th, of the expected change in government, the prospect of this messiah saving us from the belligerence of those who refuse to relinquish their power and the incompetence of the illiterate whom continue to hold posts in the government on the basis of their skin colour, we enter a new era of optimism, in expectation of a better tomorrow. For 45 years, we have shirked the ideals of our country’s constitution, let race divide us, let us be misled by status, led modernization trample on our traditions and hypocritically and inevitably all of us demanded a better government as if all the tribulations of the post independent years were to be heaped on to the failure of the government to do its part in the social contract. As we speak, we may hear rumours of political change, of a bureaucracy bed-ridden by the blight of corruption, all of which are trivial when compared to issues that face us today as citizens of this country and citizens of this world. We shield ourselves from in cocoons hoping to weather the “storm” of globalisation that we know will never blow over, we continue our materialistic pursuits in search of a better future that only exists immaterially, we forsake tradition to claim modernization as the tradition of our time, and sigh we shall, this paradox of paradoxes, for these are the real things we should be worrying about as citizens of this country. As it is, it is easier said than done, for we are all humans, compelled to conform and truckle to temptations.

But, I plead of you, to never place your faith in someone so readily, blinded to his faults and intoxicated by his oratory, you might be, and it is your penultimate decision that will eventually shape this country.

So, wake up citizens of Malaysia.

I know of course, that this is slightly(an understatement) overdue, but I got some stuff to say about recently turned 18 Michelle Kuek. xD You have been a great friend, understanding, caring and always there. I only got to know you well during OBS and I am thankful for that. I helped you as a friend and there is no need to thank me for it, after all, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Have you ever said to yourself, I am rooting for this couple, I hope they stay together, and if they break up, I would be so disappointed. I felt that way about Michelle and Alfie...I rooted for them, for I have never seen such pure and blissful love in a long, long, long time. Indeed. And though, I may not have had the time to talk to you recently, I hope you don't take offence for you will always be a friend to me.

Ciao.
