Terrorism - back to basic

So now what? another controversies sparked caused by the comments made by pope. Not long ago was another controversies of the comic strip humiliating the gracious Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Of course..which community or religious groups out there won't get angry if some people out of nowhere practically just said or do something in association with their religion? So who is to blame? the extremists/terrorists doings who eventually caused them to have a certain perception of us OR because of how they had been treating the muslims worldwide which caused the terrorists to react? Don't get me wrong..im not supporting terrorism. Thats insane alright. But lets get back to basic. Its simple. Just take bully for example. A boy is tormented by his friends..he kept quiet in the beginning..but after sometimes, he definitely reach point to where he is unable to take it anymore and react. Well, thats just what happened in my opinion. Hmmm..let me recall..i was primary 4. Year -1994. I still remember i kept hearing about war when my late dad turn on the news . I cant recall that much cos obviously at that age..who would want to bother about these stuffs right..but im sure i ever heard of palestine and lebanon. Now after 12 years later...news about war is still never ending. 12 years isnt a short time. Of course along the years...while most prefer to stay put..of cos there would be the 'outspoken' ones that would react. And these 'outspoken' ones are what we call the extremists. Well, i guess the world has to realize now that there's no such thing as Freedom of speech. When freedom of speech is allowed, people think they can talk just about anything without thinking how their comments may affect other people regardless of community, race or religion. So, these people who kept claiming freedom of speech should aware that while some things can be said openly, some could not.


Its just the case of friend between friend. You can say anything to the other but you also have to watch out what you say because there might be things that will be offended to her..although not to you. Get it people? These people ar must learn to be ethically correct then the world can live happily and peacefully. If you cant or dont wish to understand their culture, then choose to tolerate it instead. And when we have tolerations for each other, you can be amazed how even a different multi-race and religious groups and live together with no sparks whatsoever...example? Singapore. Just admit it okay.anywhere in the world. among the citizens regardless race or age, there still people who are racists. These people will be the headstrong people who keeps criticizing other race or religion yet at the same time they dont do it openly either and choose to tolerate it should they have to face it. Well..just look at Singapore. I dont understand why they can happily comment about other religion when they KNOW obviously it would jeapordise the peace among the people. And i dont understand why they choose to say it without thinking, when they know the obvious consequences either. Strange but its true...haha.. so people in the world..be tactless will then the world live in peace. Amin.


IMF day 4 - sun 17/9:

Today boring lah. Diana off...fizzy went earlier while sha report only later. Only di who would go out in between..neither too late or too early. No company to kallang today. Wonder who my policemen and driver as usual. Missed the first trip. Sat alone to wait for my driver to come back to stadium. Hafiz and gang were there...i was bored. Suddenly heard somebody calling..kak...kak..i heard but ignore..i didnt think the guys would want to talk to me..then i heard it again..kak ohhh kak...i turned..hafiz was talking to me..haha..surprise eh..i then say to him sardine only call people kakak..he said you same age as ika right? harhar..damn he knew. LOL..so we start talking abt reporting time lah..then he ask if i got chinese blood i said yeah...and he asked if my parents are pure malay i said yes. Kepo betul lah nie budak. haha..


Anyway..my driver was same..policemen..an indian i think..not sure..but know how to speak malay. Suddenly it struck me that of the 4 days i've been working, the 1st, 3rd & today i got all dark skin colour policemen, 2 of which i think is malay but all the 3 spoke malay & only a chinese policeman for my 2nd day. Like hello..where all the handsome policemen went? lol..3 more days to go..please give me something better okay..haha..something memorable. So far only the 1st day police is quite good looking. Anyway when we board the bus..we sat one left side one right & stare outside the window all the way like couple quarrelling you know...then during the night trip, i saw loads of taxi merc limousine and i spoke to the driver in malay saying "wahh..alot seh.." then he heard it and ask oh you malay? i tot chinese...its the same thing that happened in the 1st day i work. Only then we started talking. Dont get me wrong..not that just because they think im chinese they wont talk to me..but i guess...they felt more comfortable when they knew im malay..easier to conversate you see..hmmm..farnie..food can no longer be taken from the police cos some people complain they dont get food..cos we the bus hosts kept taking. haha..


Then in evening back for dinner..we practically share food..cos no dinner. I accidentally spilled the drink on the table and happened a cute guy (elyas gang..) was there and then talk to me..disturb me say rabak cos i spilled the drink..but he was kind enuff to help me to wipe it. Stuff the tissues in the cup. Then he said i can throw the cup filled with tissued used to wipe the spilled drink in the dustbin near the drinks served at the corner. I said yeah i know..no need to tell also i know..he smiled. I smiled back hehe. Then i asked if he eaten his dinner he said he just vomited. Awww...so pity...lol..


After dinner, i was sleepy in the bus..since no delegates...i slept lah. Then usually when there's no delegate at the hotels, the marshal or transport desk will signal. So i guess i was asleep when i reached allson hotel. I guessed they signal already and the bus just waiting to move when i woke up. Got two transport desk, one chinese one malay. The malay also sweet and friendly. Once i woke up like shock people like that and realized we had reach allson hotel. The malay guy was like smiling cos maybe they two saw me sleeping earlier on and i just smiled sheepishly back lol.


Made quite a few friends..in fact quite a number lah. Its fun and they also fun. haha. I think i got a crush on this indian guy who look punjabi anyway..his name Suriavarma or suria in short..he just so sweet lah..seesh..that made him the first indian guy i ever had a crush on. LOL..but serious..he's a nice guy. At the end of the day, we waited for each other..we go home together..we became quite close. Kala, dasha, john, casey, idah, suria and others whose name i never asked lol! So Just now, kala, sha, fizzy, me, dasha, citra, idah, suria and john waiting for the bus to go suntec to hop on. While waiting outside the tent, john's police hang out with us..he the first chinese cute policeman i saw in 4 days. haha. He so kind to gave us two box of supper which consist some tiny light food and packet drinks too. When i asked if they never scold him for giving the food, he said shhh...sweeet right..then i joked with him that there are loads fo policemen outside the tent who saw him giving the food to us...which was true cos these policemen are waiting for their police bus to come to go back to their stations so they gather outside. Then i asked if he re-service and he said he regular..his age? 24. And somebody go pauto i 22..why always me kena ah? bloody hell man..thankfully he said i dont look like one hahaha...even suria and dasha didnt believe i was 22..yeah..take it as im 19 then. haha. The police name is william. Even gave us his email to add him in friendster..haha..


Then at last separated..some went to aljunied mrt some to city hall. Me, fiz, sha and dasha head to city hall in a bus driven by this pakcik. The policeman? Another cute guy..malay some more..haha..he look like chinese..but his name is md khairul. Friendly. He looked quite young like a student joining NPCC like that you know in his uniform so out of curiosity i asked for his age..19..no...24..no..26..no...21? yes. Ahakz..he 21 an NS man. K why cant i get such a policeman for my next trip? how i wish...anyway..he waved at us once we got down the bus at city hall and we waved back hehe...and lastly...i saw loads of cute guys on my way home in the train...!! dunno lah..i guess due to little delegates, i have now focus my thoughts to somewhere more worthy..haha...seesh...cant i just have fun once in a while?? lol..
