strange bedfellows...

quite a productive sunday actually hehe. brisk-walked with my wife this morning around the lake near our residence. then we had tehtarik and a light breakfast. when i got home, quickly read the papers and dozed off for about an hour or so. had another round of breakfast and my wife was lamenting about todays' young people. of their total oblivion to whats going on around both locally and globally, of their lack of interest in politics...for example bla bla bla and i said...take it easy...its nothing new, it s a global phenomena ...of young people all over the world. since time immemorial, only about 10 % of them would go down that route...politics...the rest are just followers. and if it makes her feel any better..i said that...when the time comes, people will rise to the occassion. generations after generations had been worried about the generation who is going to succeed them...that's quite natural. things change, scenarios, issues, challenges, problems and opportunities also change. and you can't deal with them the same way your forefathers dealt with them. we live in interesting times....

I created an account on this blog.co.uk more than 30 days ago but had yet to pen any of my thoughts. I guess I was preoccupied with my existing blogspot url.  What started as an experiment or trying to catch up with the younger generation with their facebook, myspace and all...I thought having my own blog was cool. It was difficult to sustain or rather to instil that discipline to regularly I mean consistently update your blog! I tell you, it was a helluva challenge! I was sneered by some younger people ...well not soo much younger than me though...and remarks like 'make sure I don't't be hot hot chicken shit' the translated malay version expression which meant that I must be serious and not fizzle out, my interest I mean, as quickly as the heat of the chicken shit dissipates...hahaha.  Whoala! it turned out that I became addicted to uploading images, and like ya like religiously updating them if not every 2 days or at times two or three postings in a day? Can you beat that? hmmm...makes one wonder if I have not got anything else to do. Hey! helloooo...there's's a saying...give a task to the guy who is the busiest...and whoala...you will be rest assured that it gets done...that's how the old adage sounds...ok?

Last weekend my son followed me to the 16th century french village  (a la colmar tropicale) at berjaya hills, the highlands just about 40 minutes away from downtown Kuala Lumpur. He is growing up fast. No longer a baby. He will be 11 next year and will be in std 5. I need to spend more time with him. He is growing up to be quite a good looking young man. I have to quickly groom him to be sharp, smart, polite, intelligent, but more importantly with a global outlook. Meaning open-minded not some inward-looking opinionated bastard! Leave the world a better place for others. Enjoy the great gifts gawd gave us. Learn to respect others and  always uphold the basic tenets of 3 important relationships...man with gawd, man with man and man with nature. Or put in another way, spiritual, social and environmental relationships. Respect has to be earned and don't expect others to respect you if you don't even respect yourself!  I deliberately let him join the paintball games with the rest of my office mates. Hoping that he would slowly but surely develop self-confidence, overcome fear and be independent in all aspects, mind, body and soul. Most importantly...he must never be a slave to any woman on earth...hahaha.....not even his own mother!! (my wife will kill me if she reads this...hahahahahaha)
