Screwed UP

Would you look at this????!!!

"Huh, what is this? Why are you even considering to help Barack Obama? This man is our enemy. He has every intention of destroying our First Amendment rights and possibly even putting us in jail. We should not be giving him advice out of some naive sense of “objective analysis.” Barack Obama deserves to be treated like some sort of secular “Anti-Christ.”

How much does it take for America, world's richest country, most powerful, to drop the race issue?

How much WILL it take for Americans to look beyond Sarah Palin's incompetence (who by the way was so soundly beaten by Joe Biden I still wonder why people show up at her rallies - she makes our own leaders look vastly competent, and that's saying something), John McCain's rhetoric, and the legacy of George W. Bush?

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!!!

You're losing your jobs, your 401k's, your children's futures and you're worried about Obama being an Anti-Christ???!!

Us Malaysians, Australians, Pakistanis and Japanese know Obama is not Arab, and he's not Muslim. But some of you still do. You run up all that debt living your unsustainable lifestyles, taking out 120%, 150% homeloans and you can't even bother to pay attention to the details about your future leader? What did you buy that made-in-Japan/Korea big-screen TV for??? It's amazingly, breathtakingly, stupendously ridiculous, laughable, and above all, sad.

This is the country that gave birth to moonwalking, to the Internet, to Google, to the light bulb. I would say that this contrast, chasm of knowledge, is worst than the poor-rich gap anytime. Because, sadly, even when resources ARE available, where (too much) food is on the table and credit cards have no limit, where there is so much, so much press freedom, you can't even educate your general population. I will use another word here - appaling. One more - disgusting.

Racism has created the Rwandan genocide, is creating the Darfur one unfolding as we speak. Racism is ugly. We should never allow ourselves or our children to see colour, to make judgements on our fellow human beings based on colour.

You created this crisis, America. I'm surprised Russia, Japan and Iceland haven't launches missiles at the White House yet.

Slowly, slowly

Have been getting my life back together.

1st progress made today - got my SIM card and ATM cards back.

Funny how it takes 30 minutes to get those but 30 days to get back my ID and another 30 for my passport.

The universe doesn't want me to go to Singapore, it seems.

Well, it does also lool like the universe wants Barack Obama to win the US Elections.

Go Obama!

The Truly Unexpected

There is a heart, that hurts.
But it's not mine, my dearest.

Our home got broken into, and I was declared the biggest loser.

But I have someone who is with me, who has been with me.

Sure, I cried. But I'll get over it.

Hold on, I am over it.

Because life is bigger than a new Zara handbag, than a month-old Canon Ixus 90.

Because, as Miranda Bailey said, It's not the things you have, your looks. No matter how successful you are in your career.

It's about having people around you who love you and care for you.

And it's true.

So to the guys who stole my stuff, I hope they make your Hari Raya a little sweeter, a little better. You probably needed the money more than I do.

So let me tell you, dear reader, this.

There are many, many things I want, but, truly, I have everything I need.
