Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email The first day of the Gregorian New Year 2009 AD just ended. I’m awake and watching Tv3 Nightline.
It was “just another day” for me. I stopped celebrating the new year in the spiritual or religious sense. Its just another date which has legal implication – age calculation, taxation, etc.
Had the luxury of waking up at 10.50 am (nope, no late night out for me), went out for early lunch, and spent the next few hours shopping for garden things.
Had a bowl of cendol on the way back, and burnt some calories doing gardening till 8pm(that’s 4 hours of sweat, with in between Sunquick orange thirst quenching).
Had late dinner (oopps, the calories increased!) and read a bit of James Rollins’ The Judas Strain, took Remo for a walk (haaa…lost some more calories there!), and watched the last one hour of Kalloori movie.
Now, watching the TV3 coverage on Mike Manikavasagam’s rebellion being analysed by Mike Tyson Mohamad Mohamad Taib, and Sementa Assemblyman Pahalil. Hmmm…there’s a dozen articles to read before I blog about Manikavasagam (I hear you, Killer).
Day 8 of holiday ended. Ahh…time flies.
So, how was your first day of 2009? I hope it went well with good news and sweet memories.
Hello! Happy New Year.
overall M’sia see a rough road ahead thru 2009 politically and economically.
As for Indians with much of bitter experiance in 2007-2008 , we’d expect them to be much more mentally alert .
My job has enabled me to liase with global community which partly became the reason why i’ve been critizing ruling ‘so called’ leaders . Say you are a F1 driver and you happen to stuck behind a ‘P’ plate driver wouldn’t you be cursing the driver ?? That’s what happening here . The more you’re exposed to external world the more you’ll be frustrated . Of course no leader is perfect but there’s always a threshold of acceptance.
Putting aside the justification of having the massive Nov25 street protest , we do hope that the community learned the basics or fundamental of politics and social rights . When they understood these there wont need another massive rally .
No one could be spared from the leadership pool . A teacher , class monitor , parents , supervisor , security guard , professional manager …and so on .
The politics is the foundation of a society . So the need of understanding politics is crucial to each and everyone . Eg , say nationwide teachers practice racism , so can an Indian student ever become even a classroom monitor ?? It’s bread and butter.
So , i’d like to see a vibrant indian society . Well , it’s easier to say ! But let’s hope for the best .
Some tips for 2009 :
– read more books
– lessen tamil drama series
– do away with smoking and alchohol
– set a threshold of cash to be saved every month . Remember recession is here !
– invest in correct programs , depending on your risk level . Beware of scams , internet trading …etc .
– carefull if happen to invent in shares . The market may plunge soon , perhaps after CNY . Timing is crucial .
– do periodic exercise
– whenever a problem exist , always ask why it happenned and how it happened
-last but not least , dont believe politician’s ‘jam-tat’ talk for granted . Drm is one of the best in such talks .
