Malaysia's Very Own Earth Day


If, for our exam in our upcoming STPM asks us to write positive things about Malaysia, I will just hand in an empty paper. We used to be able to at least write about how so many different races can live together in peace, how diverse and beautiful each culture is, how we have so many different types of food to eat, how we are safe from most natural disasters (i.e. volcano eruptions, earthquakes, twisters, etc) and how our country is safe from political crisis (unlike what happened in Thailand what with the Red Shirt protests). 

Now? The dirtiness of the country's politics has overcome all the good things we had. As we learned in Pengajian Am, our country practices democracy which actually means "a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives." quoted from Wikipedia. It seems like Malaysia has already re-defined the meaning of democracy with all the dirty tricks. All my life, I've never really liked politics, always skipping the politics section when reading the newspaper because I know our politicians make empty promises just to gain followers. 

Politics in Malaysia now is a big joke. So many memes are on my Facebook news feed.
How BN Will Win the Malaysian Elections 

First, there's the phantom voters issue. Some people who lived in Malaysia for over 50 years have yet to receive their identification card wherelse those foreign workers who has only step foot in Malaysia for a few months already got theirs. 


 This guy was very famous in Facebook yesterday. Hhahahahaha

There's news about vans, trucks and buses bringing these foreign workers to vote in certain areas. Heck! There's even multiple videos being shared online. In some areas, the big crowd managed to prevent them from voting, while in some areas, the policemen were helping the phantom voters. Apparently, they were even escorted and the gates were closed to ensure that they get to vote safely. Proof is on Facebook, Youtube and everywhere else except those pro-government medias (newspapers, radio stations, and tv stations like DUHHH!)

Thus, the new name for our country, Banglasia. TROLOLOLOL



But seriously, we have to stop blaming them. And calling them Banglas because they are as human as us. Difference is, they're living in such desperate situations and so happens, they were offered a better life/opportunity. A promise that they will get nationality and some amount of money if they just voted for some certain parties. Of course, there's no 100% proof to this allegations, but there's no proof to say otherwise as well right? So, instead of hurting the phantom voters, we should turn our attention to the people who employ them.

Also, the so-called indelible ink. Yeah, Its supposed to be un-removable but somehow, it just comes out without the need of any scrubbings. My mum's inked finger was much cleaner after some basic house chores like cooking and cleaning. No toothpaste or any solvents, just normal dish detergent and soap. And god knows how much the government spent to buy it. The prove is in your hands. Or at least fingers... Hahahha 


Someone commented that his friend can't go to school for days because 
he drew on his face... using permanent marker pen

Next! Magic. The opposition party was leading, and then there was a blackout. Mysteriously, bags of uncounted votes appeared and then the votes were recounted. The government then leads with a small margin. Wow! *thumbs up* Hahahhahaa Look at all these memes.


 

And what's with the sudden protest about we Chinese people should go back to China? We are born here, in Malaysia just like those who claim that we are ungrateful to the government. Please lah. What have you done for our country to earn the rights to chase us out of our own country? Nothing right? Why are some people so oblivious and shallow and ignorant? Its too obvious that this election is not fair. In fact, the past few elections are indeed messed with.

Lai lai lai. Let's laugh our heads off with more memes



Some people post things like "Queen Elizabeth, please help us" or "Obama, our election is unfair". What will all that do? Other countries cannot interfere with another country's politics. Besides, we don't want to be dijajah again, do we? Instead, we should all bring this issue to the United Nations. And of course, some parts of the world has already acknowledge our 13th General Election.

This is the news on CNN

 Youtube

Google

If you noticed, many Facebook-ers changed their profile picture to a black one, it's because of the mysterious blackouts that magically changes the results. It also means that darkness has conquered and our future is darkened. Because democracy is not democracy anymore.





I may be young and I may not know who to vote now (if give the chance), but I do know that I won't want a government who resorts to dirty tricks just to stay in power. I will absolutely not stand any injustice. If you think you're going to lose, prepare your yourself emotionally and mentally and accept the results like a man lah! I want a clean re-election! This time, without any lights out or outside votes. And also a non-biased invigilator. If you win fairly, I will accept the results and stfu.


I am usually too busy procrastinating and would not have the time to update my blog but this is too big an event to miss blogging about. This is an important date to remember, to ensure a cleaner country. And unlike other people who apologize if they offend anyone, I shall not! It's like feeling sorry for being real. We all have brains to think and we should be able to express our thoughts freely. Don't agree what I'm saying? Fine, we're just having differences in our way of thinking. Just close this page and go read something that you like to read. I am expressing myself and I will not let anyone tell me how to or how not to think!

BIG, LARGE, HUGE, ENORMOUS, HUMONGOUS... balloons.....

aka HOT AIR BALLOONS! :D I got the chance to go to the International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Putrajaya back in March. OMG! Now only I'm blogging about it. #fail
This year is the 5th year running already and of course a lot of people also went la. Cause the admission fee is FREE. Cause the word FREE attract us, Malaysians like how sugar attracts ants. This event was only for 4 days [there's 2 sessions each day, the morning one at 7.30am and the evening one at 5.30pm] and I happened to go on the wrong day. And wrong time? 


Arrived there with dark clouds looming over our heads, after some time it rained (heavily T.T) and then it was okay already. Reach the place by around 4 something? (idk, can't really remember) And one of our main reasons to go there is because we heard that we can pay some money to sit on the hot air balloon. Which will go up in the air okay? Not just sit there at ground level. Zzzzzzz Wellllll, according to the website, visitors can start going up at 6pm but the counters will open at 5pm and tags (with numbers) will be given out 30mins before the counters open, which is at 4.30pm. [Only 300 tickets will be sold per session] So we thought that if we reach there by 4 it'll be okay but we were dead wrong man.



Turns out that the line was so long we initially couldn't see the end of it. Our eyes slowing trace the line and it already stretched halfway around a field. *Some people start queueing up as early as 4am wtf?* Okay lo, nemermind! We just hang around waiting for the hot air balloons to get inflated up (is that the right term anyway?) Some youngsters came up with the genius idea of renting simple equipments to make giant bubbles.



The free giant bubble. See how dark the sky is? >:(


All it takes is only 2 sticks tied/connected to a thick and long piece of rope and dipped into the soapy solution. You just have to hold the sticks apart and wait for the wind to do its thing. Just remember to stand at the right position. Impossible to blow a giant bubble out using your own breathes. Trust me, I've tried. Felt so stupid.


The 2 little monsters cousins trying them out




One of the spectacular views of that day! Btw, we got to try out the big-golf-ball-look-a-like-thingy. It's called the Hamster Roll according to the website.


Grass sticking to the ball because it rained heavily before we got the the Extreme Zone. Its very stuffy inside there but other than that, its fun especially when you fall. One of the staff guided us across the area, and then we have to move the ball to the starting point. The adults watching over us told us that I looked very funny when I fell down because my body just sort of stuck to the walls while it rolled. They said they were laughing too hard to take a picture. -_-

Mountain Dew gave out free samples and also sold them at a very low price *happy*

So after that we were strolling around and then we spotted a spot with a big orange thing. Went closer to take a look and it was a hot air balloon ready to be inflated up :D Number 21 and 22 are from China. The orange one was a cat while the other one (Number 21) is a colourful one. Prepare to be amazed! HAHAHAHA
You're welcome... for being able to witness such an amazing sight. Stood there trying not to move so that I can get these pictures and string them up into 1

It's finally up!!! :D Ahhhh like a new born baby :')




LOOK AGAIN.... TAKE A SECOND LOOK... IT'S NOT A PICTURE OF ONLY TREES AT THE BOTTOM.... NOTICE THE 4 MICRO-TINY BLACK DOTS? 

Yeah. They're paragliders.... 


TADAHHHHH!!! :D

 
 Yes yes... my extremely dry ends :'(

Ishhh!!! Didn't get the chance to go try rock-climbing. Also because only little kids go up. Dunno if it's only for kids or what


More balloons! We were there until it turns dark



If you think this is scary, wait till you see it when it is litted up
