SABM's Bodacious Sale 2011

They say, "BE THERE OR BE SQUARE".

I say, it's going to be BODALICIOUS!!  

Date and Time: Saturday, October 1 · 10:00am - 5:00pm

Place: Rumah Anak Bangsa Malaysia, 66, Lorong Setiabistari 1, Bukit Damansara, 50490

Who are we?
We are ordinary Malaysians trying to do something extraordinary. We are part of the Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia movement, which was launched in 2009 at its Rumah in Bukit Damansara. We believe that we are one people and one nation.

This is our home, we care and we want to make it better.

Why are we doing this?
Our vision is to create and sustain a program that will bring rural and urban children together to instill in them core values, relational and leadership skills, and provide them opportunities to experience our multi-faceted society in a more meaningful way. This is a long-term project which will involve rural and urban children coming together for regular holiday camps in the years ahead.

Malaysia Day at RABM

“People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.”, said Zig Ziglar.

I now understand what he means.

When SABM had their launching two years ago today, I was all fired up and eager to go. Somehow, that didn't translate into anything. Not all the time and energy I thought I would commit materialised into what my heart and head had hoped to do.

Motivation doesn't last and Ziglar hit the nail on the head when he said that we need daily doses. 

There's something special about rubbing shoulders with fellow Malaysians. It holds a kind of magic that transports the mind to a special place where dreams of a better Malaysia seem to be within one's grasp.

I am a full-blooded and able-bodied Malaysian and I haven't lost hope for Anak Bangsa Malaysia. As I sit here with their little black souvenir booklet in my hand, I feel the stirrings. I feel the struggle. I feel the pride. I feel the tears stinging my eyes.  

There is hope.

Some pictures from the gathering can be seen here.

Happy Malaysia Day!

In the last year, I've made more friends than I ever did since I left school.  Thanks to Facebook, we interact and have groups and, often, a friend of a friend of a friend can turn out to be a good friend.

One thing I've noticed is that the Malaysians on my Facebook list seem to not notice race, colour or creed.  It's what I don't take for granted at all.

No one makes an issue if there's a lame joke about a particular race or religion.  People seem to be easy-going and understanding.  Tolerance and kindness become the order of the day.  Yes, in the comfort of my Facebook Account, I've the luxury of choosing who surround me.  Be that as it may, I still get the feeling of one bangsa and one country. 

United we stand and divided we fall.  So on this Malaysia Day, let's carry our kindness and goodness to beyond the virtual world and into the real world.

By the way, there will be a celebration here at 7.00 pm on Friday, 16 September 2011.  Jom!!

Home - Seri Sentosa (Peaceful and Tranquil)

14 years ago, I moved in to Taman Seri Sentosa.  It seems like a million years ago.  It didn't feel like home then, and every day as I drove home from work, I wondered when I would feel like I was going home.

Eventually I got used to the area and made new friends.  In retrospect, it is hard to remember the exact moment that this place became "home".

I have lived in the following areas: Tiong Nam (KL), Setapak Gardens, Masjid India (KL), Damansara Utama, Kepong and Section 14 (PJ).  

In conclusion, this quote rings true that "A small house can hold as much happiness as a big one".

MERDEKA

HAPPY 54 YEARS

A matter of face

I've been slack in writing here.  Sometimes I have so many things I want to say but I also have so many things that I want to do and usually that wins.

Today, I feel like ranting about something.

What do you all think about someone requesting me to be a Facebook friend and I accept.  

Later when I changed my profile picture to something other than my photo, that someone got annoyed.  So annoyed that he insisted I put a picture of myself showing my "face" because this is Facebook.   

Even when I said that it's not a requirement of Facebook, and that all my photos are visible now that we are already friends, it was still not acceptable.  In the end, I told that person to delete me.

I know that people put up all sorts of pictures/logos/pets/kids/sceneries and what not.  Who cares what you want to put up?  What counts is the person behind that Facebook account.

I believe this is infringing on a person's freedom of expression.  If you fail this test, then you can't be my friend.   I can't be your friend.  We cannot be friends.

Facebook is a great filter for the small-minded people out there.  I have now rid myself of one of them.
