It's been 2 weeks since I last blog, probably due to a routine life that does not worth sharing. But in conjunction with Malaysia's 53rd Independence Day, as a Malaysian, today is really a day worth rejoicing.
The scent of independence may seem to be fading with each passing generation, in fact, I was beginning to wonder is Independence day just merely a blessing for all because we all can enjoy another break day? However, there are times when I wonder, long before we achieved the status of independence, we are still in a state of chaos, with wars and fights fill up every corner of this nation. In midst of enjoying a break day during Merdeka, why don't have this thought in mind, 50-70 years ago, probably we have to live in fear, fear of hunger, fear of war, fear of losing the ones we love, fear of the prospect of having a bomb drop right on you. In comparison with what we are now, it is better to be grateful of what we have now.
There are times we may find flaws within our nation, flaws that we couldn't stand that we keep condemning and looking for other countries for comparison. Whenever we lose a match in badminton, we may put the blame on the players, blaming them for not playing at their best. But when we win a match, praises are so scarce that we might refer the victory as a sign of luck due to a lost in form by another team. You may rephrase it in such a manner: Players win because the opponent is weaker, not because our homegrown players' skills.
Yes, we may have flaws in areas that desperately need improvement. But do think twice before start to pull in other countries and point out their good parts. They also have their own disadvantages in certain aspects. It would be unfair to mar all our nation's good points by overshadowing them with the bad ones. Think it in such manner: Do other nations have mamak stalls that allow you and your friends to gather and yum cha? Do you have to face with the terrorizing force of nature in the form of earthquake and Volcano eruption in you are in Malaysia?
Yeah, you may have better points at counter-attacking mine. But in my opinion, nothing beats home. Ask those working or studying in other nations, you'll get the point. Where would you call home if not Malaysia?
To all Malaysians,
Happy Independence Day

Air Penguins
If the title seem familiar to you, yes, then I guess you're a Madagascar fan, well, initially I really don't fancy about Madagascar, I thought it was just another ordinary animation, with the "WE LIKE TO MOVE IT" craze, well, the storyline and the lines do prove me wrong. You all may have thought, what Madagascar? You mean the aged old animation that happens like century away? Oh yes, I'm talking about that Madagascar series, but I'm not a movie critic, I won't be commenting about the movie here....XD
Upon seeing another Nth replay of the Madagascar 2 on HBO (yes, they seemed to be out of movies), I just couldn't help myself but to admire the very organised bunch of penguins led by Skipper. They showed how powerful can a group be, even if they're were like pint-sized dudes.
As the title suggests, the penguins take the spotlight. Loved their lines throughout the franchise.
"Hello everyone, this is your captain speaking. I have a good news and a bad news. The good news is, we're landing immediately; the bad news is, we're crash landing. Although we know you don't have a choice, we still have to say..... thank you for flying Air Penguins"
"Now, who say penguins can't fly?"

武学感想
这假期里,接触过最多的书,不是会计的,反而是变化无常的武侠小说。要说我变了武侠痴,与绝对不会过分。那么读了什么呢,自然是《倚天屠龙记》。 除了金庸武侠小说,其他我都不曾接触,毕竟从小就耳熏目染之下读金庸的作品,也不习惯另类写法。但除了武侠书,假期还看了《叶问2》,哇, 实在分不开武功!
接触了这么多的武功教学,我突然觉得,如果在这人心险恶的现实生活中练上一些武功底子,也是好事一桩。试想想, 在生活中,我们天天都必须面对交通阻塞的情景,假设我们懂得轻功,轻快的从 A 到 B,不费吹灰之力。再说,我们整天面对盗匪,抢匪之类的不法之徒,假设有一招半式的武功,谅对方有武器,我们也不至于被人鱼肉,毫无反击之力。
你们定说,咳,你有武功,但对方有武器如枪械, 谅你三头六臂,吕布在世,也难逃子弹。对,机械固然危险,但古时候,我们也有暗器如金针。不用暗器也行,只要练上高层内功如《九阳真经》, 再用上《六脉神剑》,手指一斗,无形的剑气便可伤人,重者更可致命。无须携带武器或暗器,该多好啊!
看一看武侠小说,总是觉得,一个人练武,好像练《九阳真经》的张无忌,只读经中要诀,反复练习,练啊练,盖世武功就现,当真好像吃饭那么简单。我独自读那几句经文,好上大半天,都不知道它们在说什么,只知道,男主角已经练得一身好武功,独闯江湖,干上一番惊天动地的事业。 呵呵,可能我没武功天分吧!>.<
