That Incident In UUM

As much as I would like to respect authority and more senior people in our society, for the life of me, I cannot believe and support the recent incident at UUM, a public University in Malaysia. A student stands up to come and put forth her thoughts on the current Malaysian status, albeit, her belief in human rights and she got her microphone snatched away and talked down on, told that she is not educated enough and then compared to animals. ................................

Complete disbelief.

But yet, my brain does a rewind. And it is as if I have heard it all before during my schooling days. Being told to shut the F up and just LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN. I wonder why I am still an outspoken person today and how I survived it. But this is the way the schools are here, you shut up and just listen, ok? I am not sure how the schools are in other parts of the world too so, maybe I don't know..

Here's the video if you are interested. If you don't have 20 minutes to waste, just click on to mid-way of the video to watch the action.



I don't, frankly, support everything that Namewee's done in the past. Some of them are too damn crude for me but this video really strikes back at the B and gives me some form of comfort.



A more polite reply in Bahasa Malaysia is here>> from Zul Fikri Zamir Mohamad Munir, 

 Seriously, Malaysian education needs to get serious about educating and not politicizing.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
