Of all the things i miss most in this world of mine, nothing can surpass the rindu i have of having parents.

I am part of a sizeable group of anak yatim piatu who have lost both their parents at an early age. It really is quite sad to think of all the orphans living in this world today that depends so much on the guidance and belah kasihan of the adult among them, be it their guardian, uncle, aunty, etc.

From experience i can say that the compassion shown towards these orphans are truly genuine albeit for a period of time only. time as they say heals and soon the feeling of saddness and absence is soon filled with the daunting responsibility of everyday lives.

No one can blame individuals who could not afford to spend a little time to be compassionate towards these orphans because probably their plate are full already. In all honesty, people dont need the extra burden of somebody else when what they have is too much for them to cope as it is. After all, why make someone else's problem your own?

i read recently in a motivational book that truly inspired me. it says :

"To achieve all the things you want in life, you must first help enough people achieve what they want in their life."

So here i am today trying to preach to anyone who cares to read this blog, to pls take some time and donate to orphans, be it in material form or just a doa.

I will soon start a charity aimed at helping young or unfortunate mothers with infants because nothing is more cruel or depressing to hear than a mother abandoning her own child due to lack of moral or money.

It is really moving to learn that some mothers could not breast feed their baby and have to resort to giving only plain water.

Everyday for the past week i am reminded of this truly devastating predicament as published in various tabloids how parents compromise the safety and well being of their infants due to the nation's rising economic crisis.

i leave u now with some food for thought in hope we can make a difference with just a little bit of change in our indifference.

A somebody

Don't let the demon inside you,
lead you to believe that you are a nobody.

So long as you THINK about being a nobody, you are actually somebody.

Because the act of thinking itself is necessary to make you something.

Since you are something, then you obviously exist,
which then makes you not a nobody, but a somebody.


Je pense, donc je suis ( i am thinking, therefore i exist). Rene Descartes, 1637.


Its time for us, Malaysian, to actually stand up and be counted. it's no use just being a somebody and not contribute to the nation, you might as well be a nobody or in other words, you might as well be dead.

I am guilty for not voicing out my thoughts, as we have the right to, with regards to many blatant corruption of our legal and administrative system, and i believe many of you are too.

There are many ways, of course, to voice your opinion, one of which is through the modern medium of communication such as facebook and blogs. It's very polite and non intrusive to hide behind the comfort of a monitor and lash out statements to people. The receiver of such lashing will of course feel the heat but wont be uncomfortable enough to actually be bother to change their opinion.

To actually make an effect, we should all wear red shirts and run riot in the city streets like in Bangkok.

I admire their determination to uphold their civil rights and i envy the way the group seems to be closely knitted with a parallel focus not unlike a Muslim brotherhood.

We Malaysians though, sad to say, will find it tough to emulate our neighbours simply because their unity is cast in concrete with identical skin color and equal hatred for the same enemy.

We are too diversified. Too varied. Too much apart in fact that the government is trying their best to unite us under the 1Malaysia program.

If the program succeeds, then maybe, just maybe, we can all unite in red shirts and run riot in the city to voice our displeasure. Just like in Thailand. Just like in Indonesia.

That should give them something to think about!
