hang tuah must die

loyalty (minus) tolerance (add) ignorance (divide) time (equals to) disaster.
hang tuah is a malay legendary character that lived in melaka at the turn of 15th century.
dude was too loyal to the sultan even after being condemned to death for crime that he didnt commit.
the execution was never carried out because the executioner knew the real story and hid him from the public
hang tuah’s childhood/best friend, hang jebat swore revenge and rebelled against the corrupted sultan.
he went amok and killed so many people to get to the sultan which brought mayhem to the royal court.
the sultan went chicken shit and said, ‘if only hang tuah is still alive’
mr executioner who was also the sultan’s aid revealed the truth – hang tuah was still alive.
sultan couldnt be happier and sent his messengers to summon hang tuah.
hang tuah came back for a “pardon” from the sultan and he swore to protect the sultan.
now this is when hang tuah went to see hang jebat to kill him for heresy and for being a traitor.
there are several versions of how the story ended but the main dilemma is the issue of loyalty.

the story of hang tuah tells a lot about the malay culture.
it portrays so many moral, spiritual and intellectual dilemma that is unique to our culture.
for instance, the conflict between choosing a bad sultan or a lifelong friend.
its like having to choose between left of right arms. to me its an extremely hard decision to make
different cultures and background will see this dilemma differently.
there is no right or wrong. im not saying what we should of should not do.
im just keep telling and asking myself of the greater good and the lesser evil.
maybe my principles are not as strong as hang tuah (im glad)
rationalism is the key to world peace and sustainability.
everything has to be in moderation, including moderations.

paperless future

as a sustainabilitist, i try to sustain a lot of things, including my cash flow and lifestyle. my last entry was an experimentation with gdocs where i can post a document straight-away from google doc’s page. no hassle and i like it. i mightve done it before but im still excited with it :) this is an example of how we can move to a paperless society. i think we have enough technology to do so. in 10 years from now, paper will be obsolete and books will be considered antiques. only people who go on a holiday and want to get away from the computer will read physical newspaper and books. we are moving in to a society where computing power is affordable and varieties of affordable machines. save the papers for artwork and agreement letters.

Mengapa ada Sang Hitam bila Putih itu lebih menyenangkan?

“Kamu hendak aku mati dulu baru kamu berdua mula bercakap kembali?”

Mengapa pada saat-saat sebegini, kita tidak ingin meletakkan ego kita ke tepi? Sehingga Si Ayah terpaksa mengungkap kata-kata sebegitu.

Mereka kata, air di cincang tidak akan putus. Tetapi, bila aku lihat di sudut ini, seolah-olah air itu sudah keruh. Perlukah aku menunggu lagi setahun dua untuk menjernihkan kembali keadaan?

Hati aku patah, jiwa aku sudah lemah.  Aku pura-pura bahawa diri dan hati aku berada dalam keadaan tenang dan senang. Itu sahaja bentuk ‘escapism’ yang aku mampu berikan pada diri sendiri buat masa sekarang. Kalau tidak pun,  sekurang-kurangnya aku akan tenggelamkan diri dalam timbunan kerja-kerja ‘freelance’ aku.  Aku masih manusia kerdil, walaupun ramai rakan-rakan aku beranggapan aku ini seorang wanita yang kuat semangatnya.

Jadi, sebelum terlambat… kehadapan insan yang  sama darah dagingnya dengan ku… Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin. Ingin ku mencium tangan mu, tapi jika niat aku tidak kesampaian, kau perlu tahu yang kau masih tetap kakak ku.

… emotions are a waste of time and energy

Mama, You Been on My Mind
( Bob Dylan Cover / I’m not there OST )

Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I’m standing at
Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind.

I don’t mean trouble, please don’t put me down or get upset
I am not pleading or saying, “I can’t forget you”
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent, but yet
Mama, you been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an’ my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don’t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don’t even matter to me where you’re waking up tomorrow
But mama, you’re just on my mind.

I am not asking you to say words like “yes” or “no,”
Please understand me, I have no place for you to go
I’m just whispering to myself, so I can’t pretend that I don’t know
But Mama, you been on my mind

When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won’t be next to you, you know I won’t be near
I’d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind.

//
this song gives me a weird feeling. i really dont know how to explain but it seems like i have felt exactly the same emotion before. maybe in this life or maybe in my previous life or maybe in the future, i dont know and i really dont need to feel this way. it feels like falling in love – that tingly feeling behind your heart but sometimes, it feels like someone rip open my chest between my left and right rib cages and pull out my heart. i think thats the best way to explain how im feeling now.

fading away

no, im NOT fading away. you are fading away. you are fading away from my mind and slowly, you are fading away from my world. i tried everything i can think of (that is appropriate and in a not-too-creepy way) to salvage or at least be close to you but i notice how we repel, mostly because of awkward circumstances and what nots. im not looking to be with you or anything. its just that, im the happiest when i was with you and id like to be reminded of how happy i was at one point. not that im not happy now – i am super duper happy, but back then i was the happiest to the point of being self destructive. i was happy to do everything, not do anything and do it over and over again.

whatevs. go fucking fade away already.
