Muse

Yes, I need my Muse now.

Where is she?

I am trying to construct a poem because I have so much time on my hands. But now, I am stuck halfway and cannot continue. :(

Politicians

Dear Malaysian politicians,

I would like to ask you to ask your own conscience (if you so happen to have a tiny bit left) – what are the reasons you join politics? To me, politicians should be leaders of the community, the society, the rakyat. Politicians should have a definite stand on issues, based on your knowledge and experiences. We expect you to lead us with a moral voice, a clear vision and direction as to what changes or things that you want to happen in our country. But all I see is destruction of the very foundation that our forefathers built.

You claim that this country is a model of tolerance and unity. But your eyes are akin to those of tinted glasses; you can’t see us who are different.

You claim that the nation is prosperous under your leadership. But all I could see is poor people still living on the streets while your coffers just seem to grow larger and larger by the minute.

You claim that this no leader is indispensable and that everyone should leave when their time comes. But you do not leave even after support for your leadership has waned.

You claim to want to develop our nation. But how developed could our country be if you single-handedly brought up a whole generation of narrow-minded people, just like you?

Where is your conscience?

Perth Weather

I do love Perth weather after all.

I love walking in the sun, with the cool breeze caressing my skin.

Perth Weather-san, I think I will miss you when I go back to Malaysia.
