elections...

Tuesday, September 13, 2005

the elections are a coming... Curtin Uni's student elections that is...

there's isnt much that is out of the ordinary... its the usual... backstabbings, secret dealings, more backstabbings, espionage... you know the usual bitchin'...

i for one am excited by it, though i have in no way directly connected to it... the girl has been immersed in it for the past month now... so much so that she sometimes gets lost in the realities of life... but i am not complaining... my heart throbs just hearing about the bitchin'... and i feel like whacking the person who doing a two-face...

such a boring life that i live... that i have to live someone else's...

o yeah fidah is back in singapore attending a friend's wedding...

PS- i have already told the girl who friend 2 is...

things never change...



its funny... things never change...

last night, i was watching a programme on channel 9 called the Pope, Prime Minister and something something... its a very interesting one...

what happens is that the host invited a couple of real people, like politicians Kim Beazley and Dr Mahathir, put them in a totally invented situations but with a reality feel with it and they supposed to react accordingly if let's say, Kim Beazley was the Prime Minister of Australia or Dr Mahathir (i am so sorry, i can remember only the two of them)were the leader of Nowherena... i remember there was a pastor, a former chief of police for NSW, the Head for the Islamic Council of New South Wales, the Health Minister...

well its all talk... not as riveting as 10's latest drama by Tony and Ridley Scott, Numbers but it did gripped my balls... it even stirred a few dormant emotions... almost forgotten that the situations were totally made up...

this is what stirred me...

when the host asked the Chief Justice if she would let an Australian be sentenced to death or whipped because of a drug offence... she answered boldly,'it is inhumane to be whipped or canned.' or at last that was what i thought she said...

in any case, she went on to say that she would oppose any 'inhumane treatment'of australian subjects...

sounds familiar? i thought colonisation is over... well ladies and gentleman of the jury, looks like it isnt... the matter of fact is, countries like Australia, United Kingdom, the US still has that colonial masters perception... that the rest of the world is still evolving (scientifically 'proven' by Darwinism, which was also the excuse for slavery) ... they arent developed yet...

back to the Chief Justice, my problem is, what happened to autonomy of the legal justice of the other? the counter claim is always, the other country is a corruptible system... hmmm i wonder... well, if she were referring to Indonesia's legal system, it means she is saying that the legal system is inept and on top of that the people manning the legal system are inept too... much like when SBS's Dateline covered the story on the trial who bombed the Australian Embassy (what actually happened was that they bombed the hotel NEXT to the Embassy)...

the thing is that, what she is also saying is that the western judiciary system is inept too... why and how is that we may ask? its because Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapores'justice system had been adopted by their former Dutch and British colonial masters... which is basically still what they are still practicing now... and you say its inhumane? well my dear chief justice but the lawys were inherited ... and just because You say it is inhumane, it is inhumane... we also have a right to our opinions... does it mean our opinions do not count... o yeah we are monkeys, what do WE KNOW...

like i said... things never change...

o yeah, it was an interesting programme too... did i say that?

wasted days...

Tuesday, September 06, 2005

these days i have had a lot of free time. i know i should use it constructively but the reality of it is, i am not... period.

however, i have had free time to surf the net, which i do a lot. you know, surf for news, football, wisen up on my current affairs, update myself about fashion, dig up old fossils. all at the convinience of the desktop...

i still do not have an internet at home so i steal them from the universities, everywhere

although much time has been spent on the computer, i have no idea what i have learnt.. well not yet, until of course its tested in game shows like Who Wants to be a Millionaire... speaking of which Eddie Macguire is crap... one of those guys who wants to do it all... something like if Fozzil was a millionaire... i mean not to say that is a bad thing... but you know, no one can do everything... unless of cos, you are Prophet Muhammad...

and speaking of which, last night's South Park was hilarious... as usual... over the top... political satire... it featured Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, Hindu and Confucious and ..... Seaman.... (pronounced Semen throughout the show)... they were dubbed... SuperBESTFriends... remember the old early eighties cartoon show, Superfriends and the Hall of Justice... yes something like that... wicked! and the villain was... David Blane... hahhahaha....

about funny stuffs... u know what, i am sick and tired of being told i am lame... i mean lame jokes... u see, i dont make them... but people see it as a joke... i dont know... was never intended as a joke... its more of a comment and observation...

for example...

i said to friend 1- joseph...

friend 2- joseph?

me-joseph is english for Yusuf...

friend 2- lame....

What the...? what the hell was lame? dont get it... still dont get it... in any case, some people just dont have a level of intelligence to them... well what can i say... well most people arent anyway...

maybe i shouldnt give these people a chance to get away with it next time... that's it no more mr nice guy!!!!

BBIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYAAAAAAATTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHATEVER...

PS- o yeah, Mr Bush, the name of your weapons of Mass Destruction is called, Katrina...

why do i care

Saturday, September 03, 2005

sometimes i wonder, why do i care so much... i mean caring is a pain and a chore and a cause to endless source of heartbreaks...

why should i care about the band and their song choices? why should i care about my loved ones or my friends?

i mean what is it, or do i get from caring? why should i care when no one does?

do i get anything in return?

as much as anyone likes to believe it, as long as you live on earth... as humans, you will rarely get the returns... yes, rarely... this is a reality check on people who are disillusioned with the 'goodness' of people...

but still why do i do it? why do i care so much...

frankly speaking i am sick and tired of caring... i mean no one cares... so why waste the time...

but the thing is, i feel bad when i dont... you see here in lies the paradox...

so what do i do?

whatever...

on another note...

songs to learn

j'our feelings pour ... somthing... by Laam
dont lie by Black eyed peas
senorita by JT

PEACE!!
