Have you heard of Epik High?

I am sure most of you haven't. Korean artists and bands are all the raves now, but they are mainly popular because of their cuteness, and Epik High doesn't emphasize that at all.

Tablo and Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz's words are reflections of my thoughts, and people similar to us I guess.. they wrote things that are always on our minds but none of us can express in words.. and listening to their brilliant music, their intelligent lyrics.. is a bliss to my ears and my brain.

It is such a shame that they are so relatively underrated, compared to the likes of Super Junior or DBSK [which i happened to like as well. hehe] . As the world becomes more and more ridiculous, its great to know that they are people who thinks the same way, and they are people who loves this group as much as I do.

Epik High, I adore them.

So, i am lost. random rambling.

Wake up. Do things. Work. Eat. Survive. 

This is us. Is it satisfying to do this every day? Is this enough? Its not like we don't know.. but they...

They wake up. They fight. They struggle. They starve. Today, they might have survived. Tomorrow, they may not.

I want to jump into their arms, I want to held them and tell them I'm sorry. Sorry that I am here, living every freaking day with relatively minimal problems, and yet I whined, and do nothing for them. I feel their pain, and yet I sit here and stay motionless. I hear their cries, but I am helpless. 

Why am I here, if I can do nothing for them? Why am I here, if my actions doesn't reach them? Why am I here, if my words doesn't change anything for them? Why am I here? 

I am stagnant, I am helpless, I am lost. 

The no 1 thing I would make sure my children do

..apart from submitting themselves to Allah of course..

I will make sure they learn how to make a decision and think of their life choices at an early age, and feel good about it instead of feeling like it is something forceful.

I never had that. I ran away every time, and my parents were forced to decide for me. The psych degree was my choice, but that was about it. So when I have a child of my own, InsyaALlah.. I'll guide them to it, and hopefully when they are as old as I am right now, they already have a solid idea in their mind of what they want to achieve and who they want to be.

As for me right now.. I am as lost as a 2 year old child. I salute most of my friends who knows what they want, and are already on the way to fulfill their destiny.

I can't stand people who highlights the bad in others and highlights the good in what they perceive as the best choice.

Say, in a political setting. Okay fine, the said issue is a politically link issue. I cannot stand it. Both sides, right wing, left wing, their supporters.

Can't you just fight for what is right? Can't you just start actually doing something other than highlighting the other sides weaknesses... and then repeatedly highlighting your own triumphs?

I am so sick of reading them all. So sick.

I've said this a million times, in terms of politicians and leaders, you are all idiots, you should just let high school students lead us all if you are planning to behave this way for the rest of your leadership.

And their supporters: Every side has their weaknesses, you cannot deny that. Stop with the bickering and start uniting and actually doing something about it.. because if you don't and carry on bickering instead, how are you any different from them?

I felt like this needed to be said..

The KDU party is just a party. Like a social gathering between friends, except that this one includes strangers as well. It is not a wild Zouk like event thingy. Or else I wouldn't have helped my bro to promote it.

First of all, it is done in KDU's hall, by students who are majoring in events management, which makes this as one of their assignments, and with that, i don't think the students nor KDU will allow a wild party. It is a party, but it is also a very serious event for the students.

2nd: entrance is available to high school students, who are obviously under-aged, so again, if the party became wild, then KDU will be in trouble, and surely they won't allow it to happen.

3rd: It ends early. I mean, what wild party ends early?

Okay with that, I rest my case.

*Am not hosting the event, it’s organized by KDU’s Events Management students.. and that includes my brother. Am just helping him to promote it. Anyone interested, can call the numbers provided above. Thanks! =)

Harimau Malaya.

Here's what I think of the game:

Heartbreakingly disappointing. They were not aggressive enough, and defense was very poor. Khairul Fahmi was superb, Safee Sali did tried his best as well, but the thing is.. football is a team game. It requires the effort of the entire team to win, and I don't know.. I failed to see that effort in this game.

However, I am more emotional right now, because of the way most of my fellow Malaysians react to the game. Yesssssss I get it you want to be supportive. but come on, they did not play well. I guess second half was sligggghhhhhhtly better, but the first half was terrible. Passing was off, defends was incredibly poor, goalie was... superb. The only thing I am incredibly proud of today.

What I read so far of the comments made is things such as.. "well done, Harimau Malaya! at least we are Malaysians and played fair.. unlike the Lions that are made up of immigrants and are full of drama queens."

Okay first of all.. the typical Malaysian would say that. The comment is to me, diverting the fault to the Singaporeans. And that is what disappoints me the most. Yes they were drama queens on the pitch, yes some of them are not even Singaporeans.. but they played 'football' anyhow. This is our home grown, how can you not performed? Their players are more professional, but they were also older. How can they control the game more than you? Heck, I actually even think the referee was a bit bias to our Malaysian players during the first half of the game.. 

My point here is, what disappoint me is.. how my fellow Malaysians love to divert the fault to the other person rather than seeing their own fault, or in this case our own team's weaknesses.

Then.. there was the 'job well done' comment. I may not be an expert in football games, but from what I saw, they did not play well. And to praise them for playing that way is just... ridiculous. It's like praising a kid for getting a C in their exam. It might work and make the kid not lose hope, but it might backfire as well, and make the kid thinks that a C is sufficient enough to make mummy and daddy proud of me.

Get my point? I just don't think that praising them for something they did not perform well on is good for them, in the long run. If everyone keep on saying its okay every time they lose, and nobody pointed out to them what they should improve on, then how can they possibly improve?

I'm not saying you should ambushed them with hatred and all of their weaknesses and mistakes and make their lost even more depressing for them, am just saying that perhaps.. rather than praised them for something they did not deserve a praise for, maybe we can give them tips and points to work on, and encourage them to do better. Am sure they do read these comments you make for them.. even if they don't, I'm sure someone will be telling them about it. And if everyone says its okay, don't you think that will make them think it is indeed okay, and therefore next time they just have to fight with the exact same momentum as they just did just now? Would that be good?

Just my two cents.
