Last week during the MPH Season Clearance sales which took place in Plaza Hamodal or Dataran Hamodal, I went to see if there is any good bargains.

While I was there, it surprises me that there were a lot of books fairly collecting dust and old with tagged 70% discount. As I was browsing, I cannot help but wondering with all these guide books such as dummies guide and etc why there were not any of those book teaching us how to survive in the corporate world. Climbing the corporate ladder and be very good at it?

One of the customer representatives was there to help the customers to look for the titles which is scattered among the boxes and racks of display. I told one of them that I was looking for some book regarding surviving the office kind of materials. I would ended up happily with a burnt in the wallet if they were able to get these few titles for me.

Finally the day has arrived. I have been waiting for this day where the times for the need to manage the Internet. Back in the 90s when we first decided to bill out The MSC Malaysia Bill of Guarantees that specifies that the Internet will not be censored, who would have eventually guessed there will be huge loads of undesirable sites?!

It was more than 10 years ago and I do not think it is applicable in today modern world where all the bad and harmful content are beyond one imagination. Everything are being done online on the websites. Information sharing, knowledge and what ever one can think of is on the Internet. Be it the good or bad. It is too much.

As a citizen of Malaysia, I would reckon that filtering, censorship and even blocking of those blog sites are required since the bad elements are all over the Internet. We could do it with more in depth controlling as well. How about filtering those SMS-es as well since it it also vastly spread through this medium?

Hence, then it will be save all the trouble for the management of the Internet if we just allow the entire nation to go to the single website. Maybe a predefined search engine. A Malaysia owned search engine where the content has been filtered. If to do it, we have to do it aggressively and openly. Lets not hide behind the curtains as this is not an act of courage.

All the traffic which is going to oversea IP shall be routed to the local server where the content has been cached according to the likings. Since we all know from the beginning that the citizens could no longer differentiate the bad and good element. Anyway, the way I see it whichever is negative to them is considered as the latter.

Instead of going to facebook, we can create myBook. All the Malaysian will stay inside the same circle. While at it, why not we just change it to closed door policy for the Internet? Not a bad idea huh? Kim Jong III, you are my her!!!

*note: too bad my sarcasm was not at its best.

Life. How do we see it? Who’s life much more important? Yours or mine. Nonetheless I was having lunch with my colleagues this noon sparked a thought about life. How many chicken lives we killed just to feed of ourselves. When it comes to Buddhism, it is encouraged that we go vegetarian and avoid killing. But if were to avoid killing is totally impossible yet we could actually reduce the slaughtering of the chickens or any poultry. Here I suggested to them that we could come out with a large gigantic monster chicken to feed the nation. Let see if we iot a size like klcc, then it would actually give us better karma points by killing it one time off than to kill many just to provide the same amount of the food.

We can do it by clone the chicken and made it bigger size. N times of the size of current chicken. Called it monster chicken and then we can earn more karma points while reduce the hunger in poor nations. Is not this a good idea? I even told them if Malaysia to adopt the nuclear energy plant, we can use it to radiate our chicken to make it monster size. Totally a wise indeed this idea.

Speaking about killing the chicken and karma, this lead me to the other point which is about the food we ate. In fact the other day I went for the Giant Bowl for dinner. There it serve a variety of dishes we could never imagine. Assam fish, curry mutton and such alike. Is not the idea of consuming the vegetarian but in the form of flesh alike is just as bad as it seems. I thought that Buddhism teaches us to break ourselves from the temptation of the world like do not kills and break away from the hendonism. If all those that practising Buddhism and wanted to savor the rich texture of the food they eat, this sounded so wrong and hypocrisy. Totally. Either the subject itself should undergo reformation or us to redefine the meaning of it.

As I saying this, it just got better when it comes to religion. Endless arguement we can go on with without a proper ending to it except the blood to cleanse. Hence I wonder if why we could not study the Marxism in this country? My conspiracy theory tells me that the reason behind is to hide all the naked thruth how someone or something using it to monopolizes the nation. God save her please.

If this continue going on, have one wonder what about us? Life is precious but life without the truth lies no meaning.

In the opposite of smart, I ought to do a lot of stupid little things.

Like this post. It is just feel like an obligatory update post where most of my drafted posts ended up in the draft box. I still do not able to sit down and complete all those. Thanks to the distraction of the Internet. It just seem empty and if it is empty, it does not look consistence.

Over the past few weeks, I have been busy and well quite many things happened. It got me thinking about making changes in life. As in drastic changes. Like the kind where you just drop everything and make a brand new move in life. Just like a friend of mine decided to say good bye to the hectic life of Kuala Lumpur and ended up as a diving instructor in the Redang Island.

Being prided myself for a lot of things, somehow the pride just get carried away. I myself ended up taking things for granted. A hell lot of things if you would asked me. This is extremely bad and I need to find a way to deal with it. Now at this point of life, although the pressure was not directly to me but yes seriously I do feel it. Perhaps it is the change of mindset as I grew older. Counting the days before I reach 2 years plus a quarter is just one and a half month away. Speaking about it, it also reminds me that of my current employment which going to its 4 years by early September. Woooowww time really flies. This is the longest employment I had since my graduation back in 2004.

I had done so many stupid little things in my life. It is so hard for me to put it over. This blog is too well know as it is attached to me apart from the old blog – hizecool.com. I have been thinking starting a secret one but it is too tiring to managing a bit from the current ones.

With the failure to launch to Bangkok due to the H1N1 matters back in May, I had my mishap that night and this send my Siti into the workshop for 1 month. Since I got her back, she still getting cranky every time I pull her over to the right. Guess that was the sign of her injury which will never completely healed.

Speaking about as of the time management, I do not even know where to begin. So much to my dismay that I decided not to do anything about it but to sit it through. With my own involvement in the web, the strings, the frames and the one who pays you monthly income, it seems that I had to really learn to manage these matters. Time has never been enough and still getting the pages to be done. By now it should have amounted to more than 10 titles.

I lost track of my thought again….already :\
