I Don’t Know Why,

Posted in Categorised with tags on September 25, 2008 by riezawa

but this is in my profile.

How do I go about getting a lobotomy?
Pray tell, for I must find out
if I really have a brain
as I have never seen it.
Neither have I ever weighed my head
on the presumption I have to have it off
if I want an accurate reading.

I must have wrote that. Indeed, I did write that quite a while ago. Basing on the fact that most people can’t see what’s behind their eyes, and really most never do, unless they’re checking for brain tumors, head trauma and the sort. Actually read somewhere long ago that some people don’t have solid jelly brains in their heads – some people only have brain juice. And that’s quite interesting. I should really google that sometime. It makes one wonder how much percent of one’s brain is liquid. Well I wonder that, anyway.

Changed the Theme

Because the previous one was really rather hard to read, wasn’t it? Grey background, with grey text and grey links. Goodness gracious. So now you get orange links instead. Hopefully that helps. Nice clean orange and black, no funny floral curlicues. Which is how I like it. This theme is strangely called Ulysses.

I should add a picture here too, just for fun -

One answer for one question

One answer for one question

Yeah, the moment I saw this I thought “What the hell have I gotten myself into?” Lucky the question itself was pretty straightforward but seriously, Kryzysztof, Mr Ostaszewski, what overkill.

Amusing Observation on Multiraciality in Malaysia

Posted in Categorised with tags on September 19, 2008 by riezawa

Just realized something that’s really highly amusing to me.

You know where the most racially diverse and wonderfully united place in Malaysia is?

Kamunting Detention Center.

Famous detainees include:

Anwar Ibrahim (Malay)

Raja Petra Kamarrudin (Malay) <Still there now>

The famed Hindraf 5 (Indians) including: <Still there now>

  • M. Manoharan
  • P. Uthayakumar

Lim Kit Siang (Chinese)

Teresa Kok (Chinese)

Karpal Singh (Sikh)

Jeffrey Kitingan (hmm… Sabahan? ‘Bumiputera’, I suppose)

So multiracial! There’s one of every color. I bet the government is trying to collect the whole set huh. Fun, fun times. You see, Malaysia has something to be proud of after all.

I bet that’s why they detained RPK, Teresa Kok and Tan Hoon Cheng – to promote our unique multiracial culture across all aspects of Malaysian life. So wonderful! RPK to add to the mixed-race Muslim quotient, and 2 Chinese ladies – wow, that corrects not only racial, but gender imbalances in KDC! Aren’t the minds in the government brilliant? Maybe they shouldn’t have let the ladies go in that case, because that’s totally bringing down Chinese representation. Tsk tsk tsk.

Heh.

Selamat Hari Malaysia.

And indeed, a good thing it is that Hari Malaysia was selamat (safe) this year.

Hari Malaysia – Malaysia day: the day when the country of Malaysia was formed. Not as widely celebrated as Hari Merdeka – Independence Day but nevertheless a highly important commemorative date.

Why isn’t it celebrated like Merdeka? Again, a governing body and its selective memory, I suppose. We hardly learned about it in school. I don’t even know who mooted the idea. Tunku Abdul Rahman I assume.

Anyway I don’t really have much to comment on about this. Just that we should be more active in commemorating the date when Sabah and Sarawak joined into the Federation of Malay States to form the Malaysia we know and are (proud/ashamed, pick your poison) to be today.

Happy Malaysia Day.

Kino Desktop

Indeedy, this is one lovely wallpaper.

The wallpaper is from the very good resource, Animepaper and the taskbar is called Vendetta. Did by… I don’t know, try googling it. Goes really well together. Even the angle of the guns on the wall and the Start button. The kid there, by the way, is Kino of Kino’s Journey/Kino no Tabi.

In Brief

Hmm, the short posts project my friend’s working on would be so useful now. This will be such a short, short post.

Just wanted to say Tom and Jerry is so full of exceptional classical music.

Yotsuba Desktop

It’s cute.

Wallpaper comes from AnimePaper.com, a pretty good site I stumbled upon googling for Yotsuba to! wallpaper. This will probably last, oh, a week or so :/

The theme is not Alienguise this time, shockingly. It’s called VXP and where is it from… I can’t really tell you, I’ve forgotten. Sorry. The Winamp skin, featuring Yotsuba and another bear, came from Lunar Abyss once more.
