Honestly, these days I have nothing on my head that I want to talk about. At least, and I should say this better, the matters that swirl in my head that I would like to talk about, I am unable, or not interested to write in this blog. My life is hardly worth listening to besides... And I don't spew out any sage old advice or views... reason being, I don't think I have any, in capacity, to give out. You can expect little from me, and I can reassure you, that you won't be disappointed. I won't be disappointed either. I'd rather be a very simple person at this point in time. Simple living, simple needs, simple dreams...
Living:
Rather than trudging/crawling/wriggling/clawing my way along the road of so called "professional career", with debts and problems, I'd rather be a simple school teacher... But then again, how easy is it to be a school teacher? At least I won't have to kill another piece of my morals and integrity everyday just to edge out a bit more. Or being a small time shopkeeper back home in Perlis. That's probably a better deal. A chance at the free market without moral dilemma.
Needs:
No fancy cars, just a simple, maintainable, sturdy
. And a simple house, enough for me and possibly a future family. Oh.. definitely no loans. NO CREDIT CARDS! and what else?..... good friends and family around? A good barber around the corner.
Dreams:
Nak jadi sorang muslim yang baik dan berjaya. Nak jadi sorang husband yang penyayang. And of course a good and strong father to the kids. A loving son to his parents, and dependable brother to his siblings. Murah rezeki. Kerja takde yang haram. Kawan2 tak buat benda haram.... (I'm more tuned to religously inclined dreams, these days. The big picture looks bleak when you don't abstain from bad things from the beginning.)
Things I like: (but not neccessarily active in)
Food & Cooking (inseperable)
Playing rugby
Electronics & Circuitry
Open Source & Free Software
Japanese Cartoons and Comics (Anime & Manga)
Educating our children for their betterment (okay la.. kinda vague, but it's my life long goal to contribute back pile of mud we call Malaysia)
Things I care little about or HATE
The price of oil (personally it's high time we find renewable energy sources anyways)
The stupid Syarifah Aini story on news... like we don't have enough to read in the tabloids.
People who waste my time.. like sales people, and lawyers.
Lack of money on a day to day basis.
Double standard attitudes
Show offs... got nothing better to do is it?
et. al... banyak lagi.. tapi otak berserabut..
My mom reported the other day that my grandfather has successfully sold of his shares of the family rice mill company, to my evil uncle and cousins. Let them fight amongst their greedy selves. Now he's no longer holding on to that tainted wealth.
Kesian gak, because he built and ran the rice mill all on his own, with only my late grandma helping him, until it became one of the largest rice mill facilities in Perlis. If reports are true, the rice mill and all the property under that company is worth a small figure in millions. That also includes money that my evil uncle embezzled for his own use. Orang tua tu keje kuat2 to only have all his hard work and honest effort to be turned into something tainted.
But now, I think he's happier... that he let go of his "unfortunate" fortune. And he has more than enough liquid assets to live comfortably til his ending days. I just hope the saying "orang tamak selalu rugi" will turn out true. Just a little karmic retribution la. To his very ungrateful and evil son and grandchildren....
By the way... I know I've been writing like a half-wit with no sense of direction. I'll try to improve my style of writing. Or at least try to have a style. Better flowing writings with a proper subject. And none of this half baked comments and ideas here and there.
okay.. CiAO!
