Life and death

     I had an invitation for a wedding dinner yesterday.  I was 50-50 mood to participate that.  Suddenly I had to drive somebody for a funeral of a lady; so I decided not to go for the dinner.  It was a Christian funeral well organized like English style.  Most in the black suit / dresses and the coffin was handling by funeral organizers.  Not only coffin, the A-Z program was handling by them.  Learned from somebody that the lady's son is in New Zealand and haven't met his mother for last 5 years.  Finally when he arrived, his mother's flight already took off.  The person was asking me, is this must to wear black dress on a funeral day?  I said, people in this country follows the western culture for everything.  You can wear any descent dress, but not a bright one to attract many as the occasion is not for the joyful.      I had one invitation for a joy of union and an unplanned function of the gr...

Cyberjaya - Poor Administration

Cyberjaya, a place where "Live, Study & Work"; this is what TV Commercial says.  14years after its operational starts, how about its administration?  I would say its very very poor.  To make money, it is better for those who manage, but those who use, no benefits.  I never thought to write about it; but when I experienced, I prefer to scribble something. Its almost 6 months, I started to work in Cyberjaya.  As everybody, I also thought about the transportation problem.  I was searching for the information about DTS (Dedicated Transport System) service by RapidKL ( those time, it managed by RapidKL); no useful information found.  Neither in RapidKL site nor in Cyberjaya site found it where to get information, how to book the bus etc.  Though the area is technically advanced, these basic information passed by old era style; from mouth to mouth.  1 month drove to work in shared basis and costs around RM 300.  Only one advantage was fre...

Scattered thoughts

     There will be one or more persons in your life, whom you like to sit with for a few moments, without telling anything.  Their presence, by virtual or physical, make you so much happier and give you comfort in all the sense.  But there will be few people, you love to be with them, but when they near you really think, they shouldn't be nearby.  Why does we (or I?) feel like that?  Have you ever felt like these?  The question rolling in my mind for years.  But no clear answer.  A fabricated words will not have any perfection.  When it falls from the heart, there is perfection.       There are two reasons, I feel.  It's love or to be loved and possess.  Possessiveness and love are different.  Possessiveness can tell as an extremity of love.  Isn't really love? Answer can be yes or no.  When you love somebody with open heart you love to be with them and the presence will change...

Welcome to New Singapore

Happy New Year to all. This is just cut and paste from a news paper.  Where are we heading to?  Really need to think, especially when we entered into a new decade. A USEFUL message to greet the New Year today in Singapore could have read something like this: “Caution! Visitors to this island are advised to be careful of a mysterious syndrome that drives victims to shed off all their clothes in public.” As promiscuity rises, one phenomenon has almost everyone scratching his head. Amidst reports of a teenage girl selling her soiled underwear online and a young trainee teacher having sex with a 12 and a 15-year-old girl, interest centred on public nudity, including the following cases: - * A man in his 20s went buck naked into a fast-food outlet to buy coffee (his custom was refused); * A middle-aged man found sitting nude on a suburban pavement; and * A middle-aged woman took off all her clothes and boarded a public bus, rejecting a jacket to cover up. The driver ordered...

Outsourced

NBC is set to air a show about Indian companies, called  "Outsourced".  Its content is hilarious and subsequently a kind of racist program.  Watch this trailer first and what you feel of it?  Click here . According to NBC's official description, the set-in-India workplace series "centers on the all-American company Mid America Novelties whose call center has suddenly been outsourced to India and a manager, played by Ben Rappaport, is being transferred to India to run the operation.” Supposedly, the socio-economic aspects of exporting American jobs to India are not expected to be front and center story-wise. Instead, the series is billed as “the Midwest meets the exotic East in a hilarious culture clash” . When you watch this preview, you can see first the call center manager drinks coffee in a toilet closet shaped mug.  What these Americans thinks?  Indians are eating their shit and drinking what they piss ?  It's really cruel to show lik...
