Thank God Its Friday No More!

Thank God It's Friday no longer apply to me, since I started my new job. You see, I'm now working 6 days a week. And it become worse as many of my friends start their Deepa-Raya holiday starting tomorrow.

Shoot!

And to make things "better", even the guys from PTPTN started their holidays today. What can I say. I tried to contact them so I can start paying off my debt, but they are too busy with their holiday. And they complained we students don't pay.

As for me, I only got the 2 days Raya holiday, plus a no-pay leave I applied on the 5th, and the coming Sunday...can't complain.

Some so called 'wise' guys said "look at the glass as half full, not half empty". Whatever the way you see it, it's no use if you don't refill the glass, right? So I'm going to make the best of the time given to me, and more.

The Spirit of Muhibbah

On my way from work this morning I heard something on the radio. A story that touches my heart, and I'm sure many others' too. And in the heat of Deepavali and Aidilfitri celebration, the story couldn't be told better at any other time.

I didn't get the location and the names...but the story is a little bit like this: an Indian father had collected RM 2000 for his family to celebrate Deepavali. Guess how he used the money? He donated the money to a blind person selling murtabak near his house! I'm not sure if he knows the blind fellow or not, but what he did was...was...GREAT!!! (can't think of any other word). Another thing is, the blind fellow is a Malay...talk about Muhibbah.

I really hoped that spirit is shared by all Malaysians. I hope I share it too. But barely 1 hour after I heard the news, I saw a group of Malay boys, disturbing a group of Indians who are older than them playing football. If at the young tender age they're at (the Malay boys are just primary students) they're tought of differentiating and looking down on other race just because they're the so-called native race here, then I don't know what to say. The parents have managed to instill the differring mindset into their children.

We need to label ourselves as Malaysians more, than only using race. No race is better than other, just the mindset. Can we change our mind or are we too comfortable to do anything? Scary thoughts, they are...

At last i'm blogging!!!

Think Outside The Qube...sounds corny, but i'll make it work...somehow.

right now i'm inviting all to read and share their thoughts with me. i'll try to make my posts as interesting as possible, as it is interesting to me.

a word of caution, though, my thoughts are not always the best and may cause some damage (as what happened in some other blogs i commented). so filter it out, use your brain, and your heart.that's what i'd do

now i need to define a look for my blog...hope that i can add some flash in here...can't wait.
