April 3rd 2009. Remember the date.
Straw clutching, jaw clenching, palms upward in prayer and all other physical mannerisms that were symbolic of HOPE for the last couple of months have evaporated. Malaysians from all walks of life have breathed a collective sigh of resignation.
"It's over", "Gone la", "We're screwed/fucked" "From the frying pan into the fire" (thanks Suppy) are being heard all over the country today.
Black shirts, blouses, skirts and pants are the order of the day.
You'd think we're a nation in mourning for the loss of a great mahatma-esque leader. BUT we're not. We're actually 'celebrating' the inauguration of a brand new Prime Minister.
What's so negatively depressing about this? I'm too drained to repeat the whole story, but suffice to say, today our generation has witnessed first-hand a sad state of affairs. A state of affairs where the bad and evil and corrupt get rewarded.
Let me take a breather to collect my thoughts.....

Long Layoff
My humble and sincere apologies to my two loyal readers.
I haven't posted much here for more than a couple of months now. Wasn't writer's block. Neither was it for lack of anything to write about. Couldn't quite put my finger on why, until yesterday when I was speaking to a friend. Then it hit me.
I mostly write about the stupid and utterly ridiculous things happening here in Malaysia, right? So there should have been multiple postings daily, right? Well my friend and I discovered that therein lay the problem; over the last few months, the number of stupidities spewed and done by our "leaders" were happening faster and with more frequency than I could write about.
If I can post one blog a day, they come up with three dumbass actions in a day. If I can do two, they do five. When I push myself to post three times a day, they they come up with ten, and with relative ease at that. It's like as if "dumbass" is as natural as breathing for these jokers. So every time they open their mouths to breathe, they spew stupidity.
Okay, enough of me speaking like a Malaysian politician - my other reason for not posting as often as I would have liked is related to "hours". I'll probably talk about that some other time. Promise!!
