2008 here I... Aaaaaachooooo! *Sniffle...*

I am currently akin to Rudolph the red nosed reindeer... I have an awful cold and have been sneezing the whole day! Sigh! So in a nutshell, my day has been a sniffling and red-nosed miserable day. The highlight of the day? My dear taking me out for lunch and giving me a lot of T and C. Of course, that's because of the miserable whining and sniffling I used to gain his sympathy... I'm shameless...

 

I have not been blogging lately due to classes during the summer. There has however been a few incidences as of late that has been irking me to a degree. One is the issue whereby other religions are not allowed to use the word "Allah" to address their God. Ok, fine, I may be bias as I am a Christian, and a Catholic at that. I am very proud of my religion, though we do have our shameful moments in history, as with every other religion. Christians have always adopted the "Holier-than-thou" approach to everything. I don't think I'm like that though. Anyways, I oppose the ministry's decision to make the word "Allah" exclusive to Muslims alone.

 

"The one, supreme, and only God, the creator of the world and the universe. The term "Allah" is used by Muslims and many Arabic-speaking Christians alike to refer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob whom adherents of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism worship.
Muslims use the name "Allah" interchangeably with the name "God."... "

Pray tell, what makes it exclusive to Muslims? If I'm not mistaken, the Christians in the middle east call upon God as Allah too. Right? Not to mention, the native Christian communities that speak Malay only have addressed God as Allah for all this while. Even Indonesia does not have the restriction to who gets to use the word. Allah = God. So does that mean that Muslims are not allowed to use the word "Tuhan" and "God"? after all, it would only be fair that they are not allowed to use "non-muslim" terms to address the deity that they pray to.

 

This is the problem with Malaysia. We have a ministry run by close-minded fools (yes, this under-grad who keeps failing genetic subjects has just called you bunch of arrogant, ignorant pricks fools) that think that just because the Malay race in Malaysia is the "superior" race, we have to submit to their extremists. Haven't they seen what extremists have become? Look at Osama, the Al Qaeda, and the Taliban. Nothing good came of these extremists. True, it was in the constitution that they are the "special" race. The "bumiputra" have long been pampered with the NEP which obviously hasn't helped much. At the risk of sounding racist, despite the NEP, large numbers of Malays still live in poverty. I'm not saying all Malays are useless. Don't get me wrong! I have plenty of Malay friends that are much more successful in both academics and life than I am. These few are those that make an effort to break from the mould

 

But I digress, haven't I? I honestly believe that "Allah" should not be limited exclusively to Muslims. It isn't fair to the Christian Malay speaking communities in Malaysia. What's the point of trying to get us to speak our national language more often when you don't even allow us to fully utilise all the word properly? Yes, I know I may be treading on thin ice, but just had to let out my bit to educate others.

 

Exams Incoming!!!! Fire in the Hole!!!

no, i'm not mad. i'm just tired. after the past few days of camping in uni doing my revision, i'm sorely tempted to throw my files and folders of notes into a bonfire. really. it's getting monotonous and annoying to have to wake up everyday with the thought that, "SHIT! fucking finals.."

my temper has been a little short, my moods swing like a freaking, well, swing... my eyebags are so prominant, it's scary. my highlighters have never done so much work, one expired today and made a one way trip to the bin. nick and i have been trying to fit in "us" time in this busy busy schedule. but a few stolen kisses aren't doing the trick. i want a full blown date, but both of us realise the cruelty known as exams. damn cursed thing.

other than that super duper cheerful note, i have discovered the ugly side of monash uni students who are utter fucks. these particular shit assholes are known as pigs, or hogs, in a more recognisable term. the uni, trying to make up for this God awful time, opens up the classrooms for the students to use till 12 am everyday. some assholes think it's funny to hog a room from 8am to 12 am. like, hello?!?! what the fuck do you think you're doing?!

today, we had the unfortunate event of being "shooed" from C1.1. so, being the adaptive university students we were (we consisting of jeff, eugene, nick and i), peeked around the TRs. TR 2 had a rather smelly african guy (no offence. he smelt sickly sweet) so we moved onto TR 3. i would like to think of the events that followed the next few minutes the battle of The Sow Vs. The Students... as we reached for the front door, we were greeted, in terrible english, "Don't trouble". obviously, the person thinks that it's a proper command. "Don't trouble"? what the hell are you supposed to mean?! hello?!?! you're studying in a university that has to use english on a freaking daily basis. ok, i digress...

so anyhow, facing that, we turn the handle so as not to "trouble" the occupant inside... SHOCK AND HORRORS!!! IT'S LOCKED?!?!?! what do bitchy and snarky people like me do? hammer on the door. jeff, being the hero he is, went to the back door and started kicking it (needless to say, it was locked). through this time, i thought there maybe a group of people in there, but no... this sour looking pig-faced-sow comes stomping to the door and unlocks it glaring as menacingly as she can at 3 tall guys brushing by her like she's dirt and one very irrate female (me!).

when we got in, i realised that this happy little camper had brought her books, food, water and shit with her into the damn room. so not heeding worthless people, we began to rearrange the tables as jeff chanted "power outlet... where's a power outlet?" throughout this time, our wonderful little room mate covered her ears dramatically and huffed as she tried to study her work. the worst thing about this all is that this little bitch is a ACCA student, which is equivalent to her being a SUNWAY student. so what the flying fuck is she doing locking MONASH classrooms and pretending that she even has a bloody right to be there?!

after we settled down, we began to study. there were little whispers and chuckles coming from our corner and jeff decided to switch on the AC. the room was damn stuffy mind you. the minute dear jeff did so, Ms. Bitch turned around with a look of absolute horror and hugged herself to beat off the, then, non-existant cold. i snorted and began my revision. sue ann and melanie came in a short while after, and again, began rearranging tables and discussing what to put where... lovely little housemakers, them. through this all, Ms. Hogger, must have thought that our less than 10 decible activities were too loud for her sensitive ears and got up in a little huff with her notes and stormed out. nick and i giggled madly as she left.

10 to 15 minutes after that, she walks in with a brilliant smile on her piggy face and begins packing up her things. she makes a big show, to no one in particular by slamming her remaining notes into her folder and huffing as she tidied up her stuff. waltzing out, she had a look of a piggy that had found a new place to hog. as the door shut behind her, nick and i gave a high 5 to each other and burst out in laughter. melanie "hrmph"ed and said something along the lines to good riddance or somewhat. so in conclusion, what do we learn?

the top 3 ways to get rid of an unwanted person in a room is to:

3. Talk about exercise regimes and get really excited about comparing pics of yourself half naked
2. Talk about gay sex
1. Smell sickly sweet and show no chance that you're leaving

oh, to get rid of hogger, just flaunt in their face that you got in, and you ain't going no where!

Stupid White Trash Foriegners... Go home to your red neck world!

don't get me wrong... i have nothing against white people. in fact, i have met really nice ones throughout my life. the problem are the trash of the white society. they have no brains just brawn and they think that anyone without white skin is below them. what brings this on? here, lemme tell you what happened no more than 30 minutes ago.

i was on the way home from 1u and i was doing what i do best when in the car. i look out the window, looking at the passing cars and trying to see anything interesting about them. i happen to catch site of a cherokee jeep with some rather interesting signs on. you know the ones stuck on with the suction caps? well, anyway, trying to read them when your car is on a flyover and the other car's driving alongside below isn't easy, so i was staring at the car a bit.

i look up to see the passenger look at me then turn away so i didn't care and continued to look at the car. all this spans in a few seconds. next thing i know, when i look up is the driver is looking back at me, then the fucker flips me off!!!! i was shocked at first, then contemplated flipping him one back but i lost sight of the stupid little shit.

fucking white trash!! hello?!?! who's country are you in? bloody hell, you friends didn't even care about some asian chick looking at the car or in your general direction, so what the fuck do you think you're doing? just because you're white doesn't mean shit you know! i hate the fact that white trash like you think you can fucking walk over asians. some may be stupid enough to fawn over you, but the new breed of asians will not tolerate you. trust me, if you had happen to meet me face to face, i bet, even if i stared at you, you wouldn't dare flip me off.

so, if you guys ever see a dark green cherokee with two signs talking about the driver sticking to the back windows, driven by some stupid white punk, don't give the little shit any fucking road couteousy... he should be white with blonde/light brown hair.

if you happen to be him, i'd like you to go back to your barbaric country where your stupid mindset will be accepted. or better yet, let me know who the fuck you are, i'll set up a place to meet, and you can bloody well flip me off in front of whatever asians that may be there... obviously, being a girl and all that, my guy friends will love to accompany me. did i mention that i have many male friends... die you stupid white trash shit.

*ps, i really don't mean to attack all the white people out there... just the stupid red-neck, white trash that sully your names. for people like my dr. Cathy, my friends back in grade school and all you other wonderful people that i've had the pleasure of staying with in my condo, thank you for being polite and civilised.

** the white people in my condo are so nice! there's always a good morning, hello and see you, when you share a lift with them. one old gentleman chatted with me once when we were sharing a lift. see!
