today, just had my ship design exam, and alhamdulillah, all praises and gratitudes are just for Him - all the questions asked are the ones that i attempted the night before.
and now (when i am supposed to be finish my readings for FMP), i was thinking to myself, there are few thoughts that i always wanted to put up here, but just couldn't find the time to do so. so, i think im going to do it now (i bet mummy yu would come down and yell at me to start revising, if she knows im doing this :P)
first, is racism. EVERYONE is a racist. yes, and you too. despite whatever you say, or whatever you believe in, you are racist. if not entirely, maybe just a little bit. if u still think that you are not, then you're living in denial. i know i can be too sometimes. but few things that has been happening around me made me feel uncomfortable and disgusted to those who are. seriously. and then there's this thing with al-jazeera, and the malaysian politician who commented on this racism issue, and cursed while at it. hurm. i shall not comment further. but i do stand by my belief. we are ALL racist, so stop living in denial. but dont let that provoke you. but maybe let it inspire you.
second, letting the blind leading you, a person with healthy sight, crossing the road. one of the thing that strike me lately, how foolishly one can act, when given power, money and freedom of speech. im not talking about anyone in particular, nor does this apply to everyone. but generally, if you open your eyes a little wider, and take an 'eagle eye view' to this matter, you will see what i mean. and then, one of the small sign of qiamah comes to mind: "when the fools are chosen to be the leader". hurm. points to ponder. time to reflect.
third, i love my country. i was born with this instinct. but somehow lately, ive been reading and watching those who claim that the sparks is no longer there, and attractions now became annoyance. there are many things are yet to be improved in our country, because obviously no country is perfect. im sure this does not occur to me only. but fortunately, i am coming back to the country and willing to do anything in my power, to right the wrong - bring improvement anywhere possible - out spite of my love for the country. but for those who just lost interest? hurm.. its like this. when you are in a relationship with someone, it started off with you being in love with them. and then, obviously, you would want to always try to keep that love alive right? i mean, keep the relationship exciting, maintain yourself attractive to the other person. right? that also applies in the case of our love to our country. but dont you dare just put this responsibility to those who are in the rankings, because you too need to do something about this. they say, it needs 2 to tango. "hujan emas di negara orang, hujan batu di negara sendiri. lebih baik negara sendiri".
hurm. ive been rambling enough. its time to go back to my revision. ya Allah, i really need to score the rest of the papers. R&P had sucked my energy and enthusiasm like a blackhole.
which then reminds me. i love this quote from Glee this week:
"You know what happen when a star dies, Bryan? It doesnt just disappear. It turns into this black hole, this giant energy sucking mass that doesn't just collapse in on itself - it takes away any lights that comes close down with it."
-Will Schuster
dont let them take away your dreams. cause baby, you are a star in your own dream.
ps: i guess this is a random post. :P i hope i wont get into any trouble by posting this.
