The New year and thoughts…
If you are M’sian, you might be able to identify the following joke:
2005 was indeed a strange year with the Army getting into the business of religious conversions; the National Airline in artworks; with the Art gallery not knowing if its treasures are missing; the PM apologising to China for atrocities against his own citizen and we still have one day to go.
I got it from Screenshots…
a forwarded SMS circulating in Malaysia. On the last day of the week, of the year 2005.
For humour, perhaps to lighten up and not take ourselves too seriously.
A great way to start the new year is perhaps to remind myself that as an adult, there is world out there with responsibilities, not only to my family (i.e. brothers and sisters and parents) but to my country as well.
It may not be the perfect place to live, but its still home. I may not always agree that same leaders are worthy of respect, but people still elected them nonetheless.
Malaysia may not be as cool, snazzy, efficient and comfortable a place to live in compared to Singapore, but as they say in malay, it’s tanah
tumpahnya darahku.
I met my Saviour and Lord as a Malaysian, and my role models were mostly Malaysian. I may not return to stay in KL, but it doesn’t matter, we still have world class highways. 
Though the future is uncertain, and with my training as a maths graduate, job opportunities will be tough to come by in M’sia, but once I’ve dispensed with my obligations to my host country, I believe the Lord will lead me back home to M’sia.
p/s Isn’t it ironic that we can only pen this sort sentimental stuff when we’re overseas.
