Say What!!!!

I’ve got nothing interesting to blog except on trying to be some sort of a local pundit today.

Well, here goes.

"Good evening ladies and Gentleman, Our top story for the day is the potential retirement of Datuk Seri Samy Velu, he plans to retire soon unless the Indians want him…..Cough..Cough….. Excuse me, it seems there is some phelgm stuck in my throat. Well ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know whether tears of sadness is warranted but tears of jubilation is certainly needed. After all, helming the Indians for more than 20 years can definitely be tiring and not to mention a harsh job.

I wish Datuk Seri a  joyful retirement. This ofcourse is highly doubtful as we all know how Malaysian politicians are, I guess all of you are guessing just like me that a dynasty would be put in place. Datuk Seri Lee Liong Sik already has his son to carry his torch in the party…hmm….it would only be time for Samy to do so.

Well… I don’t really follow Indian Politics back home.I’m more interested in doing other things although at times I do concern mself about the going ons in my community. Datuk Seri to his credit has done his best(IF you neglect the controversies surrounding his decisions - MAIKA, etc..etc..etc) to help the Indian community though his detractors are more than his supporters(so it seems on the internet). But then again, it’s a political minefield in malaysia….so to his credit Samy Velu has skillfully veered some really throny issues although he could have done more.

On the lighter side, Normala Shamshuddin is getting married to the Deputy Home minister. Wow, I wonder how she nailed such a person. WEll Normala, wish you all the best in your married life. If you read the newspapers you will come to know about their age and age difference. But I’m not going to comment on that as a girl’s age should be kept secret right…(or is it the weight that should be kept secret…I dunno…care to educate me girls ?)

Anything else,Hmm….been quite a hectic week. School will start in just over a week from now. I plan to volunteer in the International Student orientation. That would be cool. I just hope there are good looking girls to look at. It would be another if I can actually go upto them and talk. Well, I guess I just have to do the looking now. Malaysians are also coming this semester, I hope though they’re from the Klang Valley. No offense people, but I think Klang Valley folks are actually more open minded and they’re more knowledgable about Malaysian Indians (food we eat and the language(different dialects for different communities) we speak). Please for heaven’s sake, don’t call yourself Malaysian if you don’t know the culture of other races in Malaysia. That’s an insult to "Ibu Pertiwi".

I visited the Eastern states once when I was a bit younger and found that people from the Eastern states are very polite (and not to mention the girls are good looking too). I’ve been to the Eastern states like Terengganu and even Kelantan. All I can say is that the people there are nice. I don’t know whether they’re nice because I’m from KL, but you can really notice the difference between  West Malaysia and East Malaysia. In the East, people are friendlier and generally helpful but on the west side, cold and perhaps heartless(except to family members or close friends).  We don’t say hello, we don’t greet each other and when we buy things, we have this imperious attitude. Not good people. WE can learn somethings(actually many) from the Eastern states. Yeah we’re richer but the Eastern states like Terengganu and Kelantan can really teach us something. (I also like the dodol from  Kelantan. it’s so delicious…wait was it the dodol from Terengganu ? or Kuantan ? ) Anyway Pahang is also eastern for me…I know I know,…it’s central Peninsular Malaysia but who cares, part of it is in the east anyway.

WEll, enough rant and raves for today. Comment pls..would definitely like to hear from you gals and guys.
