Raya...

1st of all.. i was planning to celebrate with my small family at home and not go anywhere else. A day before Raya, MD said the Diva is inviting us to her house on the 1st day. Cool! It's been so long since i celebrated Raya with the diva (was it 4 years ago?)... I did celebrate Ramadhan with her 2 years back tho ;) (apa kena mengena?!)

It's the first time to her house.. that big house she just moved into. I've liked that house ever since i was in my degree years (like 5 years ago), when i didn't hv a clue who lived there & before there was 'Dato K'.. i'd always wish i cud go in & see wat it's like in the middle of the house (i always thot they had a swimming pool there). And i finally got my wish.. and there is no swimming pool.. it's even better! they have a courtyard for party and entertaining! Of course they hv piped music.. there wudn't be a party without one wud it?


The house has sort of Italian style to it... very warm & cozy tho it's over the top. I didn't go inside the house... just hung out at the courtyard enjoying the good food from Eden (the best Raya food so far). There weren't so many people... we arrived towards the end (thnx to the always late Lady hehehe). Diva came to our table to chat for a while b4 leaving to greet the last of the guests... then time for us to leave...

Diva: Tunggu la dulu... Jap lg Tun M nk sampai...
Me: Nak jumpa Tun! ... (with sudden facial expression change) tp mesti KE xnk... dia anti :(
Lady: A'ah
Diva: (shock) ye ke? Cmne dia leh minat abg Wa?
Me: Sapa yg tak minat abg wa?? (referring to Anuar Zain, of course)
Diva: (confused) huh?
Lady: Woi! bukan Abg Wa tu la!
Diva: Isk! (giving me that look!)
Me: Ohhhhh! (i finally see the light!) .. ala... genetik hahaha!
Diva: huh?
Me: Ntah la.. parents dia minat... tak tau la...
Reena : Mama nk g toilet! (she had been scheming it for the past hour... she knew the Diva won't say no!)
Diva: Gi la bawak dia... masuk straight sana... (pointing across the courtyard)


KE wasn't contributing to the conversation... she was busy chatting with the Diva's hubby & SIL.. thanks KE! i cudn't hvn't chatted with the SIL wanting to know every single thing if she was near)

I wanted so much to wait for Tun M... but i came with KE & i know she wudn't want to wait.



GBI Assignment...

We all hv our points of view... I love Tun M... coz I believe he is the best... although a fren said the best politician is never about best among the best... it's always the best among the worst (i somehow believe it.. let's face it, if i were in that position, i can't assure i can be better.. i must admit, i am greedy & selfish... it's the new world order thingy). Some might love Abg Wa or even the ultimate F-I-L for some good reasons that i dn't understand... well as she said it before, we make decisions based on what we know... decisions are never wrong when u make them. It's all about the people around us and the amount of info we're receiving from around us... so there is no right or wrong... I don't hv the answers so I'm not in the position to argue anything... I'm respecting wateva others believe in... And i'm just sharing my view here (which some may not agree to.. i don't mind)

The reason I'm talking about politic is... I'm writing my GBI position paper on this new world order thingy (neocolonialism, neoliberalization, etc) & the conspiracy theory about that Rockefeller guy initiating that Bilderberg thing (I hope it doesn't get too sensitive for academic assignments). That GBI class has opened me up to so many things.. now i understand more of the world. Now more things make sense to me. But i'm not one to explain of how i was enlightened to enlighten somebody else... i just dn't know how


Wat's happening in the world today is much more important than wat's happening inside the country... we are living in ignorance, taking things for granted. I think it's about time our people start being a 'Malaysian'... People like stiglitz won nobel prize for talking about his idea of an ideal world... bullshit! there is no such thing as ideal.. wat he talks about is just talk... there is no way to make it true. I can write all the stuffs he writes... and i know i won't hv a nobel prize to my name... coz i didn't get fired from the World Bank and i am definitely not a socialist.. I'm a realist. Unlike fairy tales, in real life... life goes on after the 'happily ever after'.
