The tragedy that brought humans together

I suppose many have heard about the Sichuan earthquake tragedy that has killed tens of thousands of lives, if you haven’t, just Google it.

Funny isn’t it? A while back, when the Olympic baton was carried in some European countries (I forgot where exactly, sorry), I saw on Buletin Utama a pro-Tibet activist grab the torch forcefully. Then, there’s the news about Spielberg pulling out of the Olympics with regards to China’s stand on Tibet. The whole world, has suddenly turned anti-China because of them hosting the Olympics and whatever political reason(s) to have a feud with Tibet I couldn’t bother to go through the details since I’m neither a Tibetan nor a Buddhist.

Today, almost every site I visited has pleas for donation to China, the news site meanwhile, will publish photos of women weaping over their deceased family and soldiers being the people’s hero by carrying the injured to the medical camp. All of a sudden, everyone is China’s family who’ll take care of them in times of hardness. Only.

In better times, the same “family” will blog, print and broadcast whatever craps about how China is no1 toxic toy producer, their cars are junks, blablabla.

In a sense, this quake tragedy can be a blessing in disguise. It means China’s full awakening will be delayed, as I’ve come across a news that says it’s gonna cost China USD60 billion to rebuild the damage done by the quake. That’s a lot of money, and certainly, I do think it’s enough to delay China’s ascension to become world’s no1 economic superpower by a few more years.

So anti-China, happy you got your bonus borrowed time? Now start working harder so you won’t be out of job. Nao.

Here in Malaysia, it’s almost like we’ve seen it coming. At first, I thought it was just in KL, but my recent visit to Penang had me shocked to see the courts there also have “BUAT KERJA” (do your work) banner. Korek korek korek.

I’m still alive

If anyone wonders why this month I’ve been blogging much less than the previous one, then I would like to 3R it:

1. Regret

I’m sorry for the slow update

2. Reason

I’ve been busy with real world matters, hanging around with frens, thus limiting my time to go online and ultimately, went on a trip to Pulau Pinang with them.

3. Remedy

I’ll promise when things settle down, I’ll post new stuffs regularly.

Even now, I’m trying to upload my pics from the Penang trip, but it really is difficult without a laptop. Or my home’s desktop.

For now, I’m just catching up with some anime. Code Geass R2 ep8 has a scene ripped from V For Vendetta, lol. I hear that movie a lot during the campaigning period last general election, I ended watching it and dare say it was a good movie that favours their cause to deny Barisan Nasional (BN) 2/3 majority. I’d expect Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) gonna recommend everyone to watch Code Geass next, yohohoho. Well, I’ll do a review of it later, cuz right now, I’m picking up Allison & Lillia. Looks great with that WW1 plane and British countryside setting.

And another thing, Ironman is disappointing. I was expecting a GAReat epic movie with everyone that I’ve come across showering it praises that “it’s better than Transformers”, but in the end, I find myself satisfied most to say that it’s “just another Marvel superhero movies”. I’ve heard that it’s gonna have a sequel, well, it better do. And with tonnes more of GARness actions from that suit.
