Mama..get well soon…and take care of yourself..

Dear Mama, Raidi want you to get well soon. Raidi and Zidani want Mama to be well so that you can take us jalan-jalan. Take us out to have dinners and to the toy shops. Abah doesn’t want to buy us toys! He always buys toys for himself and he don't let us play with them! We hope that you don’t fall sick again.
Me & Mama at the hospital...

Mama, please take care of you kidney ok? Drink water all the clock. Raidi know Abah has batu in his kidneys, but at least the batu is not in Abah’s head. Mama, you are so stubborn, keras kepala. Raidi told Mama before don’t eat junk food but you don’t want to listen to me. Today, Raidi don’t want to eat junk food anymore because I don’t want to fall sick like Mama. But it’s ok Mama as long as you buy me toys, you can always eat junk food as much as you want. But if you go back to the hospital, make sure you come back home quickly ok?? Raidi hope Mama will get well soon and don't forget to take your ubat ok? Raidi and Zidani love you...

Btw, I want to say thank you to everybody who visited Mama at the Hospital. Thank you also to all the UH doctors and nurses who took care of my Mama. Particularly, I want to say thank you to the inventor of this antibiotic that not only treated Mama's infections, but made Mama's skin acne free! hehe Ok...Raidi got to go...Raidi want to play with my Robot. I want to play for many many clocks..bye byeee...

We came, we saw and we MAKAN...

Tonight I had a get together dinner cum birthday party for Izan with the badminton geng in one of the Japanese CafĂ© at Sri Hartamas. Everyone was there except for Fiqar and Roslan. I can’t really remember how much we ate, but I know I tried everything. The cakes and cookies were exceptionally good. Thank you so much Izan for sponsoring this feast tonight. And yes I will always remember to fill up gas at your Projet station.

We’ve all decided to continue playing badminton during Ramadhan. I think we should play for about an hour and then proceed to Jln 223 stalls for ‘Moreh’ or Sahur heheheh. We’ll see how far we can push ourselves during Ramadhan..the exercising I mean not the food ok?

L to R: Zaini, Ibdil , Raja Ahmad, Mafeitz, me, Azad, Izzat, Izan and Ervan

Raidi : Do you want to come to my house or not?

Raidi : Ok…how many clock you want to come??


Hahahahahaahahahahaa….Raidi…you are soo cute. I was in my bedroom at that time and I quickly cover my face with the pillow and laughed my lungs out..how many clock you want to come..hahahaha…

Happy 49th Birthday Malaysia…

On the 31st Of August, for the 49th time, we Malaysian celebrated the birth of our beloved country. As much as what we’ve achieved so far, we still have a lot to do. Although I haven’t got much to complain but there are certainly room for the country to improve, be it socially, politically, economically and legislatively.

We should feel proud and lucky to be a Malaysian. We’ve enjoyed so much development and I think no one in this country felt left behind. However we shouldn’t easily feel satisfied and there’s also a danger of becoming complacent. We are living in a globalize world and the country is always susceptible to unscrupulous competition that has a direct and critical impact to the countries development.

Whatever the challenges that we're going to face, I hope we’re all prepared to face them responsibly. Globalisation is here to stay and through advancement in the communication and transportation system, the world is getting smaller everyday. Personally, one direct implication to this advancement is that we have more and more work to do. Our office is practically in our pocket! Remember the days without mobile phone or the internet? No e-mails? Waahhh…ssooo nice…the world seems to move so much slower. Our only source of entertainment was the Airwolf series, Knight Rider, Transformers, GI Joe, Thundercats, Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu and many others. Today, we are more connected to the digital world. Cable TV, the internet and mobile communication keeps us connected 24/7. We are living in a multimedia era powered by the internet engine.

With the broadband explosion, our life is going to change even more. This possess different sort of challenges to us. Borders between countries no longer form barriers for people from both side of the fence to collaborate. Distance will be the least factor for people to work together effectively and this will definitely speed up the development of innovative products and services. This is one good side of the technology.

However as we are more and more dependent on the virtual world, we might want to question the true meaning of independence. When borders are increasingly being erased through the reduction of the digital divide, it will give independence a different definition. More and more information and data including the history will be archive in a digital form. Imagine if one alter the historical facts. I know that today our identity can easily be changed. God knows how much the Malaysian or even the foreign government knows about us individually. They know so much that when human cloning is socially viable, identity will be copied, stored or recycled. Identity could even one day become a commodity. Masa tu memang tak ada pengundi hantu dah…kita panggil pengundi klon.

Do you ever think that changing history is possible? I think it’s possible. People talk about how we can change the present by traveling back in time. Well, when the world is so ‘plugged’ in into the digital world, I guess we don’t actually need to travel through time to alter the past do we? A country could be ‘formatted’ out of this world using a computer and be ‘loaded’ with new a national identity!

The only thing that technology cannot control and manipulate over an individual is the ideology or values that he or she believes in. It all boils down to the individual. To me Merdeka means declaring that I’m a Malaysian. Even if one can change my identity in the NRD database, one cannot force me to say or declare that I’m not a Malaysian. They have to execute me, clone me and give the clone a new identity who is not a Malaysian. But what kind of a Malaysia that I want to live in?? Really I can write pages to answer this question. But for now, I just want to be a Merdeka man, a true Malaysian.
Happy Birthday Malaysia…
