The Peculiar Drama In Life...


It has been more than a week since late little Nurin was sent to heaven. But the story about her vicious murder can still be read in the newspapers. Personally, I still feel disturbed and very much uncomfortable knowing the fact that the crazy slayer(s) a.k.a the evil bastard(s) are still out there. I know the police are doing their very best to arrest the bastard(s) and to bring them to justice as soon as possible. So far, they have remanded 4 male suspects to facilitate investigations. And thanks to the FBI agents for coming here to Malaysia to assist in identifying blurred images from the CCTVs.

Like other mothers, I am just concerned too much about the safety of our children. I don’t feel safe taking my little-8-year-old girl shopping anymore, always making sure that I have her hand in mine, never let her out of my sight. And if I run into any young children who have the lost look on their faces, I keep an eye on them until I see the presence of their parents. Maybe I am being paranoid but I do feel that the evil beasts are everywhere looking for their next prey. These sick bastards are out there and they look just the same like any other normal people. Our young ones are no longer safe to walk and play in their own neighbourhood.

How do we overcome this social issue? Nurin wasn’t the first child victim who was brutally murdered and sexually tortured. There were a lot of other children victims who ended up their lives in the same tragic way. Apparently there are so many psychos and sick people out there. The police can arrest these sick killers sooner or later, but will that put a definite stop to all the killings?

Sometimes I wonder, what’s exactly in their head? What’s going on in their mind? What do they feel upon seeing the little children crying in so much pain and begging to spare their lives? Don’t the “so-called human beings” have mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces and relatives of their own? And as for the society, how do we identify these sick people and offer them help before they do anything beyond our thinking, before they harm our innocent children? How do we educate them and make them realise that all the killings are not acceptable in a normal and civilized culture? How do we reach these psychos or bastards, whatever we name them, before they "reach" our little ones?

I don’t understand this particular drama in life…weird, bizarre, strange, creepy? How do you call it?

May the mighty Lord guides us to the right path and helps us seek the answers, for He knows best and we do not know.

"the traveller"

for i am only a traveller finding my way among the streets of your new town, i have other places to go to. i shall someday work out a map of this city and traverse it on foot, someday. for i am only a traveller, and cannot stay longer where there is no home. take my love while you can, take my hatred, take my weathered hand if you will, for i shall have no home here, among the dull buildings where the heart cannot stay. for i am only a traveller on my way, to somewhere further than here. this is the city that broke my heart, that stole my feelings from me; this is the city that took away my love, that told me i must go away. i must go somewhere. somewhere, where they can know me; can recognise that i am a man. some night when the city is asleep i’ll walk out quietly along your cruel streets through the suburban edge and into the dawn forests. somewhere, perhaps near where the sun rises, i can sit down, and sometimes perhaps, i can tell myself, here i am a man. ~Muhammad Haji Salleh~ Mu...

Happy Birthday Beloved PM

Image
Today is his 69th birthday. When asked what does he want for his birthday, he replied, "nothing expensive". A very humble person he is. That is one of his many good qualities. The following short and simple poem is dedicated to this humble and respected man, though the person himself may not read it. Nothing expensive from me. My jackets are made of leather, My cups are made of porcelain clay, Storm or sunshine, any kinds of weather, May the Lord bestows upon you a blissful and prosperous birthday! Happy birthday dear Prime Minister. It is sad to know the hardship you have gone through in your political life, but at the same time I am impressed with your strong personality in facing those calamities. May you have a smooth sailing in your journey of life. ~Swan Princess~

Malaysian Heritage

Dr Jaya was absolutely right. Staying in Melaka is definitely not boring at all. There are a lot of things to do, many things to see and many historical places to visit. I had a great time spending my weekends there. Since I decided not to go back to KL during weekends, I made plans with Zurina and Wazir to visit some of the beautiful places here. Melaka is a nice place to visit. I love watching the sunset at Klebang beach, window shopping at Mahkota Parade, eating “mee hoon basah” at the RR stall near our home, driving round the Melaka city at night with my friends, dinner at Anjung Batu…simply love the “ikan bakar”…ohhh so many things to tell and to share with. During one of the weekends, my friends and I visited one of the most popular attractions in Melaka that is the Taman Mini Malaysia. It is situated approximately 16 killometres from the city. The complex displays the actual size of the beautiful traditional crafted house from the 13 states in Malaysia. What is unique about Tama...
