Sunset, Sunrise..
"After every sunset, there is gonna be a sunrise."
This used to be my favourite phrase those days to counter those negative people in the so-called "sunset industry" we were in.
Now the sun is slowly but surely going to set on many of my contemporaries... you tend to look back at history with nostalgia, with pride or with regrets...Don't hold onto the past.. you have to let go the past glories or disappointments and move onto the next phase of your well-deserved golden years.
Somehow, there are more songs written and sung about yesterday than tomorrow. The few songs that I know about tomorrow are not too optimistic too like "I don't care if tomorrow never comes" and "If tomorrow never comes". Of course, you will find "Yesterday". "Yesterday once more", "Yesterday when I was young", "Only yesterday" and "Yesterday man" etc.
Surely everyone must have occasionally or frequently, experienced the following feelings, as expressed in this scene in the musical "Oliver":
Who will buy
This wonderful morning?
Such a sky
You never did see
Who will tie
It up in a ribbon
And put it
In a box for me?
Who will buy
This wonderful feeling?
I'm so high
I swear I could fly
Me oh my
I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do
To keep the sky so blue?
Every day is a new day that the Lord has made for you and me. Rejoice and be glad in it. Live it well because today will be yesterday soon. The sun will sure rise again tomorrow, with or without us!
Today is my moment and right now is my story...
I'll laugh, I'll cry and I'll sing..
p/s the sun has set on my digital Ixus750 7.1Megapixels camera I think. It's time to get a new one soon otherwise how to capture the blue skies, sunrises and sunsets?

Forgive them....
For they do not know what they are doing.... forgive them...
I don't believe true Muslim teachings lead you to protest and to deny others of a place to worship their chosen religion in a land where the Law provides for religious freedom. Using a freshly slaughtered cow's head is provocative and potentially can incite riots from the affected section of the population.
If this is not the Islam way, then why did this happen?
If this is a political maneuvering, misusing religion as a tool to achieve the goals and ambitions of some, then we must expose them. Playing with people's feelings and emotions can lead to serious repercussions and tragedies.
Rational thinking people must stay calm and not be manipulated by these acts and react.
A small group of the Section 23 Shah Alam residents used a cow's head to protest in front of the Selangor State Secretariat building yesterday against the proposed hindu temple in their neigbourhood. What will happen if some groups react tomorrow by presenting some dog's head or pig's head or chicken's head or cat's head in other mass demonstrations?
But we must voice out our displeasure and concern. This is not only an issue affecting HINDRAF or the Hindus.... other religious leaders must come out to condemn this. It's imperative that the leaders in power today should stop this unacceptable public showmanship and open challenge to believers of other faiths.
I only can pray....

Kalau benar..
IF you have watched the 15M short film entitled "The Son" (released 28/8/09) ...and
IF you have read RPK's A Challenge to The Malaysian Government to Explain This (The Corridors of Power 24/8/09 posting)... and
IF you put these two together.. and
IF the "hidden" negative emotions are universal and widespread ...and
IF the "hidden preparation" by the ruling elite is a serious recognition of the current state of affairs ...and
IF these are in fact, factual... and
IF you have a little bit of imagination and flashing back your memories to 1969........
You should be very worried and scared. I am.
Are we building on our racial diversity or destroying it?

After 52 years
Jalur GemilangThis Bolehland where I was born, bred, educated ..... toil, breed, vote and vote and vote, hope and hope and hope...
The above picture really has many long stories to tell..... and many of us know them first hand.
The big flag belongs to my Haji neighbour while the other one is mine. He is one good neighbour for the last 27 years and we are ONE people living next to each other but when we both turn on our TV sets, probably viewing different channels, we often see and hear different propaganda being drummed into our subconscious minds.
After 52 years, the very small flag, (obviously not flying very high and slightly pushed to the sideline), really reflects the feelings of many of us towards this democratic land . We had enshrined First World ideals into our Constitution, but still struggling with Third world mentality of governance.
In reality, the relative size of the flags also depicts the reality of economic cake distribution and other opportunities between the "protected" species and the "non"s.
Must this and can this go on for the next 52 years? Many of us may not be here.....will the small flag still be standing ?
He ain't heavy, He is my brother
This 1969 hit by The Hollies has been my favourite and it added real meaning to me today when I can sense and feel the gratitude and thankfulness of my brother in burden.
What good of us if we, who are able and capable, do not lend a helping hand or just be there, when help is needed? It has been a long and tiring day, but Lord, it was all worth it.
He is one of the 1% who has to go through with his conditions, and it is beyond his control... deep inside he is such a family man that his whole life revolves around them and his sibblings. In his own way, he has brought joy and delight to his few lonely and desolate friends, by regularly lending his listening ears to them.
He is simple and innocent in his love for his family. It is heartening to see that his daughters are showing appreciation for their dad who has always placed his priorities on their welfare and well being. He gave what he had got.
I pray that he will not be one of those lonely people in the world as Father Mckenzie or Eleanor Rigby who was the title of one of Beatles' songs.
His welfare is my concern... The weight does not weigh me down...
He ain't heavy, he is my brother... always!!!
