Leo Tolstoy

"The truth is that the State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens ... Henceforth, I shall never serve any government anywhere."

Girl Power

I found these interesting quote after looking up on Sikhism in Wikipedia.
----
Guru Nanak Dev Ji states:
ਭੰਡਿ ਜੰਮੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਨਿੰਮੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਮੰਗਣੁ ਵੀਆਹੁ ॥
Bẖand jammī▫ai bẖand nimmī▫ai bẖand mangaṇ vī▫āhu.
From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married.
ਭੰਡਹੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਦੋਸਤੀ ਭੰਡਹੁ ਚਲੈ ਰਾਹੁ ॥
Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come.
ਭੰਡੁ ਮੁਆ ਭੰਡੁ ਭਾਲੀਐ ਭੰਡਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਬੰਧਾਨੁ ॥
Bẖand mu▫ā bẖand bẖālī▫ai bẖand hovai banḏẖān.
When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound.
ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਮੰਦਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿਤੁ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਰਾਜਾਨ ॥
So ki▫o manḏā ākẖī▫ai jiṯ jamėh rājān.
So why call her bad? From her, kings are born.
ਭੰਡਹੁ ਹੀ ਭੰਡੁ ਊਪਜੈ ਭੰਡੈ ਬਾਝੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥
Bẖandahu hī bẖand ūpjai bẖandai bājẖ na ko▫e.
From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

Pak Trotsky madah...

Before exhausting or drowning mankind in blood, capitalism befouls the world atmosphere with the poisonous vapors of national and race hatred. Anti-Semitism today is one of the most malignant convulsions of capitalism’s death agony.                                -Trotsky-

Ideally

Ideal life would be to have economy good enough to have choices, 
possessions small enough, you can carry it on your own back, and, 
feet strong enough to travel the world. 
Not to forget, love strong enough to kill any seed of hatred.

Kenapa bising-bising pasal nak bayar cukai, nak bersedekah?

Kenapa kamu mau bising-bising bila diingatkan untuk membayar cukai, enggan bersedekah? Bukannya duitmu tidak kecukupan utk tanggunganmu. Kau mampu memiliki rumah besar, kereta Eropah, gajet terbaru dan sebijik LV yangg sungguh hodoh.

Kenapa kamu mengelak kewajipanmu menolong yg lain? Bukankah mereka makan pun tidak cukup? Mereka ini merempat di pondok papan, basikal pun tak mampu, menulis pun tidak tahu. Jangankan LV, dompet untuk diisi duit pun tidak ada.

Kenapa ditidakkan kewajipanmu? Ditidakkan peluang untukmu mengenal kemanusiaanmu? Ditidakkan peluang untuk membantu saudaramu yang sengsara dihimpit kemiskinan?

Besar mana lagi rumah mu ingin kau buat? Laju mana lagi kereta kau mau beli? Berapa banyak lagi harta keduniaan kau mau rakusi? Adakah ini mengkayakan hatimu? Adakah ini membunuh kesunyianmu?

Kerajaan, kenapa duit cukai rakyat kau buat seperti harta sendiri? Sedangkan itu amanahmu. Cukai, sumbangan rakyat untuk memperbaiki hidup sejagat. Cukai bukan ufti untuk disalahguna kamu dan kroni-kroni kamu guna berjoli, menunjuk kuasa.

Manusia, cukup-cukupla menjadi barah. Cukup-cukup la menjadi rakus. Ingat kamu itu manusia, semua jika ditikam, darahnya merah juga. Ingat kemanusiaanmu.

Money 2

Once I had a discussion with dear Aliph about socialism vs capitalism. One thing I will remember the notion that the suffering of the proletariat under capitalist system is collateral damage. Let me tell you this, it's intentional. Those poor labourer suffer because the company wants to make the most money with the least amount of capital. Apple and many other company make factories in China because the labor so cheap that it could hardly brings the labourer out of poverty and there no such thing as labour law there. The workers paid so little and the work hazard is so high. The big company doesn't care about their workers health unless it create controversies. Capitalist come so close at making these people their slaves.

I remember watching a TV show. I'm not what it was really all about, but it left lasting impression in my memory. A worker in tuna factory in Indonesia, preparing tuna in the can we buy off the shelves were paid 1 hour of minimum wage in Britain for a day's work. The worker, a lady with a family to feed, work so hard, live away from the family and taking the cheap snacks that most Malaysian won't hardly look as a great luxuries that she cried when someone treat her some snacks and chocolate. The British that were in the show saying something about willing to pay more for the tuna knowing that the money will go to people like the Indonesian lady. I say yes to that and the company should increase the workers pay and improve the working condition. Stop hogging all the profits. Spread the money.

Money

Honestly, I don't like money. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I want to be poor. It's only that I wish, humanity is not so closely bound to money that almost everyone worshiping it. I hate the fact that what we call money these days is only piece of paper. The money in our pocket have no value without the government that manufactured it. The moment the government collapse, the paper lost its value and ceased to become what we called money.


To add salt to injury, or shall I say flame to the hatred. I hate how this world economy powered by those darn capitalist. It's sickening to see how the bourgeois greedily pocketing the riches and the proletariat getting poorer day by day. It's sickening to see the people being told to buy something they don't need, with the money they don't have, to please people they don't like just because the society pressuring them to do so. And the society was pressured to do so by that darn capitalist. Demands are created for things not needed. Trends created to keep the demand coming. This sicken me so much that I feel like puking each time I think about.

The brilliant Monty Phyton

we would like to apologies for the way in which politicians are represented in this programme. It was never our intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed political time-servers who are concerned more with their personal vendettas and private power struggle than the problems of government, nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent, not to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous little self seeking vermin with furry legs and excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices which some people might find offensive. -Monty Phyton, S3E5-

The Pain that I'm Used To

I love love Depeche Mode. One of the band in history. I wish I could come to their concert and headbanging to this song. This song is definitely perfect for that.

Professionalisme

There’s a
Japanese proverb that say “Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a
great teacher.” I found to be very true…there are some the lecturers who
you can see to be very professional, they are so amazing! So inspiring, so
admirable…one day, I’m gonna be like them.

Talk about
professionalism, it reminds me of the
guy at the India street, he’s always there, near the bus station, selling
newspaper, he’s always there, ever since I’m in my first year, which is
mid-2006. I never know his name, rather I never ask…maybe one day I’ll ask
him. He’s professional in his on way, he is very knowledgeable in what he do.
He’s just a simple man, but he inspires me.

Of Circus and Perfect Symmetry

I know a lot of my friends and acquaintances loooves Britney, and they are very excited with her new comeback. Me? I used to "loved" Britney, it's the time when I'm dying to blend in with people.
Anyway, I'm very curious about her new album, so I give a go. I really love the Circus music video. Surprisingly, the song damn boring without the music video.
The album as a whole is disappointing. There is no flow in the album, it's felt like listening to compilation instead.
Or maybe it is just my weird taste in music.

________________________________________

Move to Keane. I love this band since their first album, they never fail to amazed me.

As a whole, this album is great! A great flow from one song to the other. Good variation, good singing, good music, good lyric and great feelings.

Listening to the album make me noticed how much the band has mature. It's a big departure from the Hopes and Fears. Compared to Under the Iron Sea, it is more relaxed.

Song to song review.

1. Spiralling - Wow! This is very different from the previous album, the song is so glamorous, so pop, yet unique. 5/5

2. Lovers Are Losing - This song still have the same feeling with the Hopes and Fears album, as always, the lyric is awesome. I hate to give this song 4/5

3. Better Than This - Yet another awesome song. It is quite different from the previous album, especially in the music. Tom also sing cutely here *Pepper, cutely?*.4/5

4. You Haven't Told Me Anything - OMG! I heart this song, I'm not sure if it's a guitar or another awesome keyboard manipulation by Rice-Oxley. I think it's a guitar. 5/5

5. Perfect Symmetry - I love Tom singing here. again, the awesome lyric touched me deep within me...maybe you'll felt it too... 5/5

6. You Don't See Me - The song have this beautiful dreamy quality that I love. It's a relaxing music. This is the kind of music that I would listen before I go to sleep or need to relax. I wish I'm the you in this song. So beloved and all. But I promised I'll see me. 4/5

7. Again & Again - The song is catchy and very nice to listen. I love the fact that Keane never fail to write meaningful lyric for their songs. 5/5

8. Playing Along - This particular song captures the feeling I have regarding this world. Sometimes, I just don't want to think about it, I just want to shut myself away from all the nonsense. 5/5

9. Pretend That You're Alone - This songs in a way talks about the possibility of living without attachment, to law, to love, to anyone. "We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees, We are blisters on the earth,We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds in the meadow" Hmm, we're no monkey, but yes, we're blister to the Earth. 4/5

10. Black Burning Heart - Listening the song make me feel as if I'm listening to bonus song form Hopes and Fears. 3/5

11. Love is the End - The song, compared to the first few songs in this album, is very slow. Slow in a good way, it a break-up song. You'll be crying listening to this if you happened to just break-up. It's a song about accepting the end of a relationship, it's in someway soothing. 5/5

p/s: my first time doing album review. How was it?

Unofficial Video- Depeche Mode's John the Revelator

I always have special place for Depeche Mode in my heart. I started with Enjoy the Silence. After that, I scoured the net for any of their songs and video (by that time, youtube is still youtube. Not much video and all).

Different POV

Another post from my old blog, a weak attempt to write poem. Nostalgic nevertheless

this is what happen when i try to see things from a guy point of view….
her pitiful eyes set on mine,
with only that,
guilty sets in,
i’m not the one to blame,
but why?
that weak hands,
reaching mine,
wanting me to give it all,
but,
i got nothing…
sorry

Things a man doesn't want to hear

this is an article written by Lewis Nordan for CLEO August 2009 (His Say, page 94). I love this article so much that I really wanted to share it with you guys...really really nice.

Once upon a time, let's say, there was a tragic princess. She was very beautiful, of course. The tragic princess had a single flaw. It was that her tounge had been enchanted by an evil king when the princess was a child, and it was doomed forever to tell lies against her.

At night. she slipped into bed beside me, between the clean linens. I breathed in the satin of her skin, the coarse silk of her hair.

She said, "That candle stinks."
I said, "I'll put it out."
She said, "I'm allergic to the new bubble bath."
I said, "I'll rub you with oil."
She said, "I forgot to shave my legs."
I said, "I'll shave them for you."
She said, "I have varicose vein. You might nick it and make it bleed."

I was beginning to understand.

She said, "I'm fat."
I said, "You're gorgeous."
She said, "I'm old."
I said, "You are the woman I love."
She said, "My breasts are sagging."
I said, " Stop. Please stop this."
She said, "My thighs!"
I said, "Cellulite?"
She said,"How could you!"
I said, I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."
She said, "Did I take a sexy bath and come to bed to be insulted?"
I said, "It hurts me for you to talk this way."
She said, "I share my feelings with you, and you turn against me. And now you're the one who is hurt!"

Then the princess demanded an apology. Lovesick, hopeless suitor that I was, I invented one sufficient to appease her. Later she forgave me, and at her suggestion we made love.
When we were finished, she whispered, "Why do you love me?"

I said, "Because you are beautiful."

The room was dark. I could feel her warmth beside me. I could have gone to sleep on these words.

She said, "I think I have a yeast infection."

I closed my eyes tight and would not answer and would not look in her direction, for fear the monster I might see. I lay and hated the evil king who had cursed this princess in her crib.

Sushi Tips.

[this post is actually from my old blog, since that blog is practically dead. I'm moving posts that I think good enough to this blog.]
One of my friend actually have trouble making her sushi-meshi (sushi rice) nice...I'm happened to be lucky on my first try...so I guess I shared what I told her here...on how to make sushi rice.

What you need: rice cooker, spatula and big container made of plastic or wood, sushi-rice (short grain, japonica variety), sushi vinegar, a cup or a bowl, water, fan and a good discipline to keep yourself from opening the rice cooker lid before the rice is cooked.

Procedure:

1. Use a cup or a bowl to measure the rice. We gonna use the same cup or bowl later to measure the water volume.

2. Run the rice under water to remove residues...wash until the water clear.

3. Remove as much water as possible, and then let the rice stand for 30 minutes to an hour...this step is important to make your sushi-meshi thoroughly cook *I learn this the hard way last night, which is my third attempt on making sushi*.

4. After step 3 done, place the rice into rice cooker and add water using the same cup or bowl in step 1. If you cook 1 cup of rice, then add 1 cup of water.

5. Let the rice cook in the rice cooker. It's important for you not to open the lid at any cost! You don't want the rice to lose precious moisture.

6. Once the rice cooked (with the sound sort of click) Remove the inner part of the rice cooker from the outer part. This is to prevent the rice from being over cook.

7. Let the cooked rice stand for 10 minutes (again don't open the lid yet).

8. After 10 minutes, the rice is prepared to be used.

9. Move the rice to non-metal container or big bowl (wood or plastic). When you taking out the rice from the pot, it is important for you not to scrape the bottom of the cooker and taken out the overcooked rice (a lil brownish) together...the overcooked rice doesn't taste really nice to make sushi, but it taste nice if you eat it just like that.

10. Add sushi vinegar according to the instruction, usually I put 3 tablespoon of sushi vinegar to 1 cup of rice. Use spatula made of wood or plastic to mix rice with vinegar. Metal used can alter the taste of the rice due to reaction of acid from vinegar to metal.

11. While doing step 10, try to fan the rice or turn on the electric at the highest setting. This helps to cool down the rice and gives it glossy sheen that is one of the sign of good sushi-meshi.

12. Walla! The rice done and ready to be hand-rolled, or rolled by makisu or shaped to apt size.

P/S: Sorry guys, no pic since I don't have a camera for now.

I'm so bursting with "joy"...ha ha ha

No worries, he's all good the next day.

So hug-able.

Cat and Dolphins

Super cute! I love cats, but cat plus dolphins? OMG, I could be dead from overdosed cuteness. Super adorable.

Kitty Pic for the Day - 13th April 2011

WE R KYOOT KITTEH

This picture was taken about 2 years ago.

These kittens are adopted from strays.

Strays keep coming to our place since we feed them together with all the cats that the family readily have.

People should be more responsible with their pets.

Kittens are not to be thrown out because it is no longer convenient to take care of.

Kittens are to be love.

Sadly, we can keep all the kittens in the house.

But they can have shelter at our outdoor kitchen.

Random thoughts.

"We ask for strength and you give us difficulties which make us strong; we ask for wisdom and you send us problems, the solutions of which develop wisdom. We plead for prosperity and you give us brain and brawn to work; we plead for courage and you give us dangers to overcome. We ask for favors and you give us opportunities."

Sometime, some people, they let themselves become the victim of the situation. For them, it's the best to do. Maybe it's the best for their own self, or for other people that they care about. These people, some maybe just simple victim. Some may be more than that. By giving it up, they are actually fighting. It could be they are fighting against their own desire. Fighting against it thinking what's best for others.

I might not have the strength to become a person like that. I think, I will fight. I refuse to become the victim of the situation. I'm just to selfish to think about others. But I know that's all bullshit. I'm just a coward.

I don't know if I make sense here...

IZ BLOND SUIT ME?

Nyah is the only survivor from his litter.

I think that explains why he's such a diva.

He would whine and be very vocal when people refuse to give him attention.

And that's why I love him.

He need his human as much as his human needs him.

I miss you Nyah,

Trip to Sungai Ranchan and Lunch at Kim Bay

Yesterday, Bella, Jong Jen and I went to Sungai Ranchan. It was about 50 minutes drive from Kota Samarahan.

It was my first time at Ranchan. It's a beautiful place with lush green scenery and beautiful clear river. We spent good 3 hours there.

After Ranchan, we went to The Spring and had our lunch at Kim Bay Restaurant.

I had Lemon Tea. RM3.90

Bella had Longan Milk. RM 5.30

Jong Jen had Mix Fruit Ice with Ice Cream.  RM 5.30

This Lo Mai Kai is not bad at all. The glutinous rice is just nice. The filling includes chicken meat, shitake mushroom, salted egg yolk and salted dried shrimp. RM3.80 for two.

Jong Jen had Dumpling Noodle Soup. It looks so yummy. RM6.90

I'd Beef Mushroom Steamed with Rice. I'm a lil disappointed because this dish a little to dry even tho it was steamed.

Lastly, Bella had this awesome Cheese Baked Rice with Seafood and Mushroom. RM15.90

We went for a makeover at Shu Uemura and I went on hauling some stuffs. Read more about it here

IZ DAT CAMERA ON?

This is my favourite picture of Nyah.

It shows how photogenic he is.

He know he's a gorgeous cat. He's very well aware of that.

Look how fluffy his fur is.

It's hard to believe his mommy and daddy is just a stray cats adopted to our family.

OH WAYT! NOT REDY YET.

I told you before Nyah loves camera right?!

He really do.

He was playing with my mum feet when this picture was taken.

When I took out the camera, he immediately stop playing and strike a pose, acting cute and stuff.

As quick as he pose, as quickly also he return to playing after the flash went out.

*SNIFF SNIFF*

O HI!

This picture was taken when I first get close to Nyah.

At this time he still refuse from being touch, but he's highly curious of the camera.

And that is the start of a love affair between Nyah and camera.

He just loves camera.

OM NOM NOM NOM

Nyah during meal.

In the picture above, he was so excited that he actually eat from the food container, not from his plate =.=

No, he's not that hungry, just greedy.

My mum once complained to me on how choosy the cats is with their wet food.

She said the cat would only eat the fish if it were raw or deep fried.

They don't like it boiled.

And the fried fish, you can't just fried it simply like that.

They want it seasoned with turmeric and tamarind.

I think my mum just love pampering them.

TEH MONORAIL KITTEH IZ REZTING.
DON'T DEEZTURB!

Nyah sleeping on the wall.

In my previous Kitty post, I tell how Nyah is a recluse from his human family except my dad.
I'm annoyed of that fact because I love him. He's such a beautiful cat.
Determined to win his love, I feed him everyday.
Usually, it's my mum who feed the cats.
As I feed the cats, I try to get as close as possible to him.
Started with gentle rub on his back, few days later, he rubs his body against my legs whenever I'm nearby.
The next thing, he become my favourite model.

Emotional reunion of Ban and her mummy.

I think, for any dog or cat pet the female human is their mummy. I feel like to all my cats. This morning, I saw a video in Youtube, about a dog reuniting with her owner. The dog was rescued from a roof drifting about 1.8km from the shore, 3 weeks after the Tohoku tsunami.



It's so touching to see how relieved the owner is. She must be dreading that she would never find her dog again. It's so heartwarming looking at the dog wagging her tail and being so excited reunited with her owner. Those three weeks drifted on the roof must be very harsh for Ban.

I'm so glad that the Japanese Coast Guard did all they could not just to save the human, but the animal too. Small stories like is the kind of stories that gives hope to people around the globe.

"My Dad!"
-Nyah-

This particular cat is favourite of mine. He love love love camera and so photogenic.
Initially, he's a recluse from his human family, he's simply not comfortable being close with anyone of us except my dad.

His story gonna continue.

The Perfect Apartment for Me

I always wanted to have a small studio apartment for myself. I used to dream about impossibly large mansion with backyard as far as I can see it. But as I grow older, I feel I'm contented enough to have a small cosy place that I can afford. I keep thinking about how it is best to organize my stuffs. I have a lot of organization idea  for my ideal crib.

And then, Obefiend post this in Blog Serius, and that's exactly how I want my ideal apartment like, okay, maybe another 10 sq ft for my makeup storage XD . You can read more about it here.


Your dream home doesn't have to be a large place with every single thing you can have. It just have to be a home where you feel safe and comfortable.

One of God greatest creation. An awesome species of human companion.

I'm gonna regularly post cat pictures, some from my own collection, some for the web.


I'm gonna start with this awesome pic of my dear cats. These three are siblings, but from two different litter. I'm not sure what they are doing at that time, but I'm pretty sure it's not the last funny antics of my cats that gonna be caught on camera.

It looks as tho the two white kittens are Nyah (the tabby cat) guards and chaperons.

I love my cats.

KK is only about two weeks away

I'm so excited! We've been planning this trip since last year. I'm so excited to visit the Manukan Island, Kinabalu Park, Green Connection and many other places in Kota Kinabalu. I find the TripAdvisor and Sabah Tourism Board webpage has been super helpful in planning the schedule and budget estimation. I'm gonna to more detail about it later as now is 4.30 am in the morning and I'm supposed to be in bed right now. LOL.

Another blog, YAY!

I love Flecks, my makeup blog, but I don't want to flood it with non-beauty post. So, I decided to have More Flecks! so I can be more relaxed here.

Here is another new start :)
