I used to think that I hate Malaysia, when I was small.
What's so good about it?
Summer all the year. No playing in the snow like other four seasons countries. No advanced technology big fighting robots everywhere like in Japan. No high speed internet unlimited data like in Korea. No "Agua" show like in Thailand. No great public transport services everywhere like in Singapore.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
But I came to realize that, I was wrong.
Very wrong.
I grew up to find that I really love Malaysia, I just hate the ruling government and all their great "contributions" to Malaysia which lead it to today's state. As I was slowly growing up, I found that Malaysia is really, really a great country. And I love it.
What if one day Thailand took over Malaysia and made Malaysia part of Thailand when I'm 70 years old?
That was the question given, sort of.
I've been thinking about it since then, and I think I have found my answer.
SO WHAT?
SO WHAT IF THAILAND TOOK OVER MALAYSIA?
I DON'T GIVE A SH*T.
Yes. I don't really care. No matter Thailand, Iceland, Greenland or even Disneyland took over Malaysia, I still, identify myself as a Malaysian. Malaysia is the land I was born and raised, and grew old at. It doesn't really matter who took over or what country it became part of, because in the end, Malaysia is still Malaysia.
And I'm freaking proud to be a Malaysian.
Malaysia boleh. Malaysia truly Asia. I love Malaysia.
End of story.
Bye.

Negara...lain?

Its me Gary again and you know when its Gary, you won't be reading some serious articles. Serious is so not my kind of thing.

So by the way, I went to a play at DPAC which was given the title Another Country. To be honest, I did not read anything about it so I was completely blur and didn't know what kind of play will it be before attending.

I am not sure whether Another Country is my first stage drama performance, which I think it's not, but it is definitely the first play that left a tiny impact on me. I always thought that a stage play would have only one narrative but Another Country proved me wrong, and I was kind of shocked when I was watching the play. But it felt good and it was really a fresh thing for me.

What left me impressed about this play is not the varieties of stories, which I don't get most of it, but the way they perform it. The way they performed those stories was incredible! I'm not a good writer nor I'm good at expressing my feelings and thoughts with fancy words but I can only say that it was real good. Each and every different stories were presented with different ways, and able to make each of it interesting was really, really fantastic. I love how well and how professionally they make use of each elements on the stage, especially the lightings and props.

You may not be entertained nor get any useful information by reading this article but what I want to say is that Another Country was a real great show, at least in my opinion it is. Okay that's all, bye. Till next week. Peace :D

First post! Woohoo

I was kind of forced to open this blog and start writing stuffs which I'm not very interested in but who cares, lets start the first post!

The question given was "Do you identify yourself as a Malaysian? Why? Does it matter?" and I will answer it for the sake of my CGPA. I DO identify myself as a Malaysian. I mean, I was born and raised here, which makes me a Malaysian inside out whether I like it or not. But, I really do identify myself as a Malaysian. For me, being a Malaysian is not just that I was born and raised in Malaysia, its more about having pride for the nationality, the sense of patriotism, and feeling proud of the multi-ethnic culture of Malaysia. To be honest, I really love Malaysia, despite the fact that we have a "good" government. Malaysia is really a perfectly perfect country from the aspect of geographical location, the harmonious bond between the people, and most importantly the foods.

Does it matter? YES, IT MATTERS A LOT. The sense of pride as a Malaysian is what makes us Malaysian unite, and for me, it makes me feel connected to the other Malaysians. Not only this, but identifying myself as a Malaysian makes me feel completed, it gives me an identity to live with, and I can proudly tell the foreigners that I'M A MALAYSIAN! (Despite the many flaws of Malaysia which are mostly caused by our beloved government.)
