A Picture Worth Thousand Words

Tell me what do you think?







I can't stop laughing while posting this picture. HOMOSEXUALITY ACT IN NATIONAL NEWSPAPER is what i think. If you could see Ahmad Said really look passionate to kiss Idris Jusoh while Idris trying his best to remain calm but to no avail. Gosh, they could have captured better shot than this.

For good read on Sufiah's issue (with cynical opinion), refer to Effi's Blog.

Yeah, Malaysia Boleh!

Shojo Manga Freak!

Shit, i read about Fruits Basket (anime & manga) in Wikipedia and i realize Fruits Basket is a shojo manga. Definition of shojo:

term for manga whose main target group is girls. (In West this categorisation seems to be even more blurred than in Japan.) Compare with shônen.
From: www.tonakaistudio.com/anime/dictionary.html

I realize that i'm more keen towards Shojo manga than Shonen manga. Shonen manga is manga targeted for boys and male teens. I couldn't help to love Fruits Basket as i first watch the anime in UTP.

Synopsis:
Fruits Basket follows the life of high-school student Tohru Honda, who was recently orphaned when her mother, Kyoko Honda, died in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when his house needs remodeling, Tohru resorts to living in a tent in a forest and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains optimistic.

One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that is the home of her classmate Yuki Sohma and his older cousin Shigure Sohma. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her inner strength. The entire area is Sohma property, and Tohru asks to be allowed to stay in her tent (affectionately dubbed "her castle"). Feeling sorry for her and desperate to end their bachelor days of filthy living conditions, the Sohmas offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. After a landslide buries her tent, including her mother's picture and school clothes, she has no option but to accept. Soon after she moves in, Kyo Sohma comes to challenge Yuki.

Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family's secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private and secretive at school: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac (jyūnishi in Japanese) plus the spirit of the cat who was, according to legend, left out of the Zodiac. They transform into animals when hugged by the opposite sex or when put under a great deal of emotional or physical stress (such as being sick). When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not "Inside" the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.

I'm totally in love with Honda Tohru and the Sohma family. The anime so powerful, it could make you cry and laugh within minutes. Not to mention, the OST help to get you in the mood. The mellow starting song with powerful lyrics will make your heart melt. The anime rather much better than the manga as the anime lowered down most of the dark element in most of the characters. The anime last for 26 episodes and eventhough lot of fans requesting for another season, the producer seems will never produce the second season. The manga much interesting as the synopsis that i read this morning. The manga drill deep into all characters with more characters in present. The ending also conclude the whole story in manga version while in anime version, the ending just until Tohru meet Akito in Sohma main family house.

Anyhow, the most adorable character in Fruits Basket is Momiji and Kisa. They just adorable kids and you couldn't help to say, "Kawaii desu" eventhough Momiji could get to your nerves with his high pitch voice. All in nutshell, it's damn funny and revealing anime. Now, i'm downloading the manga and will finish it as soon as possible. hahahaha.

Second Shojo Manga (not yet produce into anime) is Beauty Pop.

Synopsis:
The manga is about the life of a naturally talented hairstylist named Kiri Koshiba and her problems with the Scissors Project (S.P.), a group of boys determined to become the best makeover team in Japan.

This manga had been introduced to me by Narulle and since then i'm hooked up to this manga. Really, it's funny to watch this manga.

And i still wondering why oh why i love shojo manga.

Hope & Change

While BA picking up at each other, BN currently laughing their ass out and must be said "these people would never be united. They claims that we're intoxicated by powers but they themselves are much intoxicated. Macam kera dapat bunga. hahaha."

Without any doubt, all BN supporters definitely laughing together and keep cursing BA supporters as traitor to nation. Well, i must said, have some faith people. Who said it's going to be easy? Who said it's going to be smooth transition? No one.

Indeed, it reminds me the way Malaya wrapping up our first election. Just by small faith that Perikatan worked it out despite every party to themselves and care about their own race, the same situation couldn't be any close image of that first election image. It's not going to be easy but with communication, BA will manage to work it out. To all BA supporters and all one-the-fence supporters who currently disgusted by current situation, just put our faith to them. Anyway, it's a brand new alliances and to work it out, BA will need time.

Truth is, i don't care much about their manifesto. If you claiming much about manifesto, even BN never delivered their manifesto till now. Aman, Makmur dan Selamat? Fuck that. Where the "Aman" part when people let their children play outside the house without feel worried. "Makmur"? If constant price hiking, inflation and total corruption are new urban euphemism for "makmur", spot on, we have that "makmur". "Selamat"? Even a grown up not safe anymore outside their house, let alone children.

The things that i care are about more transparency. A country build on corruption will never be prospered. That because you get perhaps only 10% of 100 parts of total (it might even less) and if that is what we got now, wonder what we could get if we got 100% of 100 parts. I guess the math for this equation pretty simple. The one at throne are the biggest thief in this country. Even the BN supporters know this. People aren't blind but the fear that government instill in us make us refuse to change. Well, why change when now is good is what they will say. Well, i will say change for better.

Second, i want to see a Malaysia for Malaysian (which include indons, banglas, pakis, and other immigrant too). BN already rules for half century and racial issue still not in phase of manageable. What they do only sweep the problem under the rug and pray that people will forget. Malaysian never forget for the wound the government had give them and they never would. Ever wonder when Persidangan UMNO (every in PWTC), they talk about Malay supremacy while indirectly (sometimes directly) insulting Chinese and Indians on national TV. Don't they ever wonder if Chinese and Indians offended by their statement? We don't even care how we feels thus how we expect they will care about us?

I myself is racist. I have to admit that. But if we keep our suspicion high while mixing around with each other, we're no more than mere hypocrite. It's not going to be easy, it will be bumpy ride which required sweat, blood, tears, arms and legs to make it happened. Again, i won't be preaching out my faith to you for you to swallow, you can discard it at your will. You can stick with whatever you want to believe and i don't give a fuck about it.

But for those who have the same faith as mine, just keep the faith a bit longer. Be a realist and you will see the alliance need time to work it out and it will totally brand new experience to all of them. again, it won't be easy ride but let us pray it will work it out.

How sure are you that this BA alliance will work it out the change as they preach?
Heck, i don't know. I truly don't. I just hope. Hope is a good thing and good thing never dies. As long as i hope this change will happen, i hope it will happen. Hope is the aspiration when this country built and hope make it a realization. why don't we hope for the change and pray that for once again, it will happen.

Kini dan Sekarang.

Keep posting those prayers UP THERE.

p/s: this will be my last politics entry on post-12th GE. I have enough.

End

It had been a very revealing month for me. I'm officially single again. Not even long before the relationship work well. It's all ended up and i won't bother to tell it here. Yurp, i'm whatever you said and i will swallow it anyway. it's all my fault. no, i'm the one who can't understand how you want me to be. I apologize for the bad experience. i just hope you could be nicer since your anger is all over you, honey. Apology accepted.

=================================================
in journey to embrace new life, the 12th General Election come. Wow, the biggest thing this year and the miracle of BA winning 5 state couldn't make me happier.

I had been to Kelantan and truthfully i love how PAS make it work in Kelantan. People always got wrong perception about Islamic state as PAS said. It shows how much we don't bother to understand the things they said and pretty much dive in with our shallow knowledge.

When people talk about Qisas & Hudud, they got scared that people will walk around without hands, all those fuckers will be torment to death and nobody will able to work since nobody have hands and half of the population is dead.

You idiots! Learn to swim before you dive in, ignorant bastard.

In Qisas & Hudud, it's only relevant to Muslim thus non-Muslim could stick to their own civil laws. Don't fucking worry about it. We're not going to cut your hand or torment you to death. Since it will be bound for Muslim, will they just cut people hands whom guilty for stealing?

Again, before any verdict in conclusion, Islam required 4 witnesses whom eligible to give statement. The value of items stole also put into consideration which need to exceed certain amount. it's not like they going to cut everybody hands when they found guilty for stealing a pencil price RM 0.50. After that, the reason for the crime committed. If the person commit crime because he has nothing to feed his family, the GOVERNMENT are responsible to provide suitable job to him. After all things are in place, the hearing will start whereby both plaintiff (the one whom accused) and defendant (the one being accused) need to defend themselves. If the defendant found guilty then the punishment will be given. But eventually, the plaintiff could just forgive the felon and asking for compensation instead of the felon being punished. Regarding the witnesses, it might become an arguement how trustable a witness could be thus technology come in handy. We have cctv, dna test, crime lab, forensic expert to testify thus Islam wouldn't neglect those elements in hearing process. Islam is not one religion which reject modernization and technology.

In simplest manner, this is how you put it up.

Plaintiff report crime -> defendant arrested -> crime evidence collection -> hearing -> if guilty, punishment/forgive/compensation

Ever wondering why the punishment so brutal and need to commit in public? Reason being to instill fear in criminal mind and provide good lesson to people whom have intention to commit crime. It could be viewed as barbaric and non-civilized but did we really have solution to current hiking crime rate right now? What the worst could happened to a raper? 5-10 years of prison and then what? they will come out and rape more people than before. what happened to mat rempits whom snatched bags? 4-5 years in prison. Cut those hands and let them not rempiting again. those nymphomaniac will not change easily. With current system we have, we don't have better punishment for those felons and that's the reason any felon don't have fear towards punishment. Hell, even if you're convicted with corruption, you could still be an MP.

People are afraid because what they see is death and lots of cripple when islamic law in place. truth is, once the punishment shown to public, they will scare of committing crime and we will have better society with that. It's barbaric and non-civilized yet it's the best way in punishing those felons.

Ever wonder what happened if you're in power of doing anything to punish those felons (especially those pedophiles whom rape and kill kids), what you will do? don't fucking lie to me saying that you gonna let the civil law do the punishment for you cause all you know is you could just tearing and mince them apart and serve their flesh as dog's food.

I won't preach you to accept islamic law cause i believe it's people choice but before you judge anything, kindly equip yourself with some knowledge. or at least, have some RIGHT ideas about it. it make most people look stupid when they argue on things they don't bother much. i'm also one of them thus that also include me in stupid-arguement-without-knowing-anything bandwagon.

Learning starts now if you don't want to remains stupid forever!

Gutsy Gibbon

I give Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) a try and i'm kinda liking it. It had been replacing my Kubuntu (Edgy based). My involvement with Ubuntu back dated to 2007 when i want to ensure i learn something every year. A new software, a new OS or perhaps learn to dance (hahaha...in your dream really). So, i give Ubuntu a try since i find Linux is a fear factor to me.

I start with Dapper Drake (6.06) and Edgy Eft (6.10). During that time, i just playing around with LiveCD. Space limitation not allowed me to install Ubuntu. Until i learn about Kubuntu, i finally get myself a better space (with hole on my wallet not to mention) and i finally install Kubuntu.

Kubuntu give me a bit of trouble here and there due to lots of things in Kubuntu different from Ubuntu, at least that what a newbie could see. Easiest example is Kubuntu using Adept while Ubuntu using Synaptic for package management. Everytime i google for Kubuntu solution, most web giving solution for Ubuntu. After some browsing at the office (when i'm totally bored), i found about Gutsy. I download Gutsy and burn a LiveCD.

So, now i'm running this blog from my Gutsy.

p/s: I'm still using my Windows for games and such. I really need to learn to use Ubuntu if i want total conversion to Ubuntu. Anyway, it's a good start with Ubuntu now. Thanks for those people who influenced me to start with Ubuntu.

p/p/s: Gutsy still have problem in detecting my 320GB Seagate HDD which attached through IDE/RAID Card. I wonder how to solve that. My 500GB Western Digital which also attached through IDE/RAID card run smoothly. Some help absolutely needed.

p/p/p/s: Happy voting people!!
