It has been too busy to write blog lately. Virtually no time to do anything for myself. But if I want to blame anyone, I have to blame myself. Honestly, I have been procrastinating for too long, and now everything is chassing up to me.
"Procrastinating is the thief of time". Read that when I was in secondary school, I understand the meaning, but I never realised the effect, then or now.
By the way, I am finally connected to Streamyx. But still without the free modem. Then why? u ask? Don't ask.... I am too tired to explain. It's a long story........ The thing is, it turn out that Streamyx is just another way to connect to the internet. Nothing more. Why was I so frustrated then. Ego? perhaps.
My girlfriend would say that, after I have Streamyx I will not think of her that much... But if only she knows that, "What life is life, if Kai Lee do not by".....
Even the force cannot help. :P
Was going to write something about patriotism the other day. I took some photos of "patriotism" from somewhere near where I am working now. Ya, about partiotism again... I am patriotic... You do not believe me?? hahaha.... Anyway, will write about that, when I find a way to upload the pictures to my computer.
Getting fat lately.... really need to do some exercise! hehe

Thank god is friday.......
I am so glad it is friday again. It had been so tiring this week.
How could a usual working week so tiring? Am I getting older or what? Sigh... I am not sure.
Continuos nights of OT are taking a toll on me... My minds are so fatique and my EQ drops sharply. Too much works? or maybe it was some side effect from the trip to Taiping last week.
I doubt too much works as the cause. I used to work 7 days week non-stop, and it never cause me any problem.
So tiring..... So frustrated..... for no reasons. Ha!
Perhaps is the "happens every month" thing. But if I am not mistaken, that only happens to the female species.
hahahahaha....
Hope it will be gone soon.
God! I am so tired.

Patriotism
Is singing the national anthem, before a show starts in a cinema, really shows the spirit of patriotism?
I doubt it. I personally do not think that by singing National Anthem, hanging the national flag and buying the national car are consider as the act of patriotism. Patriotism requires more than that. Patriotism flows from the heart of a citizen. It grew from the seed of respecting and the love for one's homeland. These can never derive from mere singing the national anthem.
Many would say that, if you never been in a war, you would not love your homeland as much. But I disagree. I belive it is how a government runs in one's homeland that spark the spirit of patriotism. Peoples are naturally selfish. You love your homeland, but would you stay in a country full of corruption and unstable government? The answer is still no, right?
Lets face it. Patriotism, is not as simple as what we think.
I have a dream...
I have a dream that malays, chinese and indians will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream that one day all Malaysians will truely be united as one.
I have a dream that all Malaysians will one day live in a nation where the government is truely from the people, by the people and for the people.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Malaysians are created equal."
I have a dream...
I love Malaysia.

Life, was it a box of chocolates?
"Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you gonna get."
- Forrest Gump.
But, is it true that we will never know what we gonna get? The statement is not exactly true, right? What if the box chocolates are akind? Then we should probably know what we gonna get next.
Well, perhaps life IS like a box of chocolates, the thing is that, the chocolates may not taste the same everytime we taste them. Depending on the environment, our moods, our feelings.... they all influences our taste buds. Opps, slightly out of point here. Suppose to be talking about life not chocolates tasting.. :P
But I am not out of point here. Life, good or bad, it all depends on how we perceive things and how we react to things. We decide how we feel; not the others.
Every now and then, when ever some bad things happened to us, we need only to look at different angle. The situation may not be as bad, and the world would be a better world to live in.
Every now and then, when good things happened to us, we should be gradeful and thankful. For other may not be as lucky.
A quote from the song "Return to Innocence".
"Don't be afraid to be weak Don't be too proud to be strong Just look into your heart my friend That will be the return to yourself The return to innocence . If you want, then start to laugh If you must, then start to cry Be yourself don't hide Just believe in destiny . Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence"
Life is short. Live it.

Star Wars III, the after thought...
watched 2 1/4 times Star Wars Episode III, "The Revenge Of The Sith". How come 2 /14 times ? Don't ask me..... It's a long story.
The 2nd time I watch the movie, I sense the sadness and the loneliness in Anakin. Although a great Jedi, he has no friend, well no other friend, other than Obi-wan and Padme, his wife. Perhaps to him, the world is either "white" or "black", no in between. Therefore when "grey" comes in, he starts to confused. Not knowing what to do, no one to "really" guide him (everyone was too busy with the ongoing war), and without the trust even from his own ally, the Jedi Council, he eventually stray to the dark side.
When the world don't trust you anymore, what would you do? To me, I would do anything just that please me. In the case of Anakin, saving his wife is the top priority. So, it is not wrong for Anakin to seek help from the one, the only one, the Chancellor, that can help, when the Jedi Council shut him away. Infact, from the whole movie, the Chancellor was the only one who really cares for him, the Chancellor value his power. Not even Padme (Padme wanted to leave him, when she learns that he has changed).
It is very true what Chancellor Palpatine says, "Those who holds the power, are afraid to lose the power, even the Jedi.". Remember Mace Windu? He is the best example. Why don't he trust Anakin? Why he forbid Anakin to follow them to arrest the Chancellor? Was he really worry about Anakin? To me, the answer is no. I felt that Mace Windu was jealous of Anakin, who was being so powerful and so close to the Chancellor (The highest power in the republic), yet so young. To arrest the Chancellor with his own power, will shows to the world that he, Mace Windu, is still as powerful and perhaps equally powerful as Anakin, both politically and in skills. In the movie, when the Chancellor, now Darth Sidious, was defeated, Mace Windu was going to arrest him until Anakin suddenly appear. When that happen, Mace Windu changes his mind from arresting the dark lord to killing dark load. Now why? Arrogant. If you are a Master Jedi, you don't want a Jedi Knight to jump out from no where and start to lecture you about the Jedi Code. So, Mace Windu has to kill the dark lord, to prove that he is more powerful, wiser, and the most important he represent the Jedi Council, HE is the Jedi Council. Mace Windu failed because of his arragont and the fear of loosing to the Sith. "A master is he? No, Not he is. Only human he is."
So, is Anakin good or evil? It depends on how you look at him. But even your answer is evil, there is still good in him. Remember the scene where Anakin was stading in the veranda at Mustafar? The shot shows his angry eyes, but if you look closer, you can see that he is crying. The first time I watch the movie, I only saw an angry dark lord, but the second time, I saw a lonely, troubled, and sad boy.
Perhaps the true enemy of the Republic was the practice of the Force. Because of how one uses the force, the world is forcefully split into, what know as, the "Light" and the "Dark". With the existent of Jedi and Sith clans, there will always be war. Unless one day the "Light" and the "Dark" can be join as one Force, then peace will come.
"The true nature of the force is not just to feel them and use them, but to be one with the force; like dripping drops of water into a glass of water, they become one."

May the Force be with you!
