Political Thoughts on Current Situation

The General Election is getting near. Easy to spot when you heard the drums of war on television and newspapers by the ruling government. From a glance, their spirits look very high and blatantly accusing the oppositions which if the oppositions did that, they will be accused of being rude, a pact of evil and unnationalists. But how about the situation now actually? This is just some insights. Things written here are based on my understanding. Comments are welcome.

UMNO is very strong at the moment. Not the whole BN divisions though. But the unity among Malays for UMNO is strengthening. So do the Indians for MIC. While MCA still struggling with their Chinese supports. The Oppositions’ Pakatan looked pretty much disorganized as credits go to PKR which losing general supports due to internal matters like leadership. DAP, however, is still going strong in gaining urban supporters and carefully managed things pretty well despite the lack of monetary funds. Since the past general election, let’s see how things went and going on up until now. Continue reading →

Malaysian Cosplay

As we all know, cosplay is from “costume play” which means, well, I think you get the idea. My experiences with the local cosplayers might be not that much. Simply, this is just a random review on the current kids trend, a niche trend, and yet still growing.

I am not really sure when the fandom of cosplaying in Malaysia started. If not because of Gempak magazine more than a decade ago, I wouldn’t know much about it. Wait, I think I knew about cosplay through the Internet anyway, long time before that. For sure, it gave little internet to me back then. Because I am a picky guy who was not interested with the combination of 2D and 3D.  Continue reading →

Took me awhile to write this because I got caught up with other stuffs. Especially some rage stuffs. Hey, it’s already more than two weeks, so, yeah, not really that late. Again, the anime event was held at the same place as last year which was the Multi Purpose Hall of Sunway University College.

This event was the day marked as my first ever performance as a guitarist for Bad Apples. Thinking back, it’s almost 9 months I bought my Telecaster which I learn to play mostly by myself and also with the help of my friends especially Eccentrical and Brian. Nine months seemed long but I didn’t take any proper class so it’s something neat to brag on but musical skill is something largely related with practice, practice and practice. Continue reading →

Before I proceed to my rants, I would like to say something about my last post on journey to Sabah. Some friends have been asking me if I really did left Azunyan in Sabah. Well, yes, she is currently with my sister, Irene, there. Of course that this is not about real, blood-related sister. Actually, I’ve been giving some other plushies to my other sisters. I gave a plushie of Tachibana Kanade (Angel Beats!) to Arisa and Kuroneko (OreImo) to Pammy. Nothing biggie and one might be wondering why I am so generous on giving such things to them.

A Red within Reds

It was crowded. Full of people. Anticipating for the best that has yet to come at that moment. People were wearing red shirts. Well, not all of them. I was in dark green shirt, kinda formal. Perhaps trying to conceal myself from them. My partner, linkinstreet, was also in his formal suit just like a working salary guy. I could see the authorities of the place guarding the entrances to the area. However, they didn’t bring any tear gas weaponry or baton as things can get pretty awry if they couldn’t handle the crowds. Although we could see how fearsome they’re with their appearances. Well, it’s not some guys that you could easily goof with. It was supposed to start at 2:00 p.m. but we have yet to see anything that shows a sign for this to be started. Medias were armed with their cameras who were certainly looking forward on grabbing some scenes that surely can be used to be printed on the pages of the newspapers. Despite that, that Indian person was there early and looked very calm with the surrounding. While majority of the crowds seemed to be less interested with that person, I was very anxious and still am if I ever get a chance to meet in-person. It’s a person that led a bunch of people who managed to give the Malaysian people hope for a better future of this side of the world. Surely, a very well-known. That Indian person was K. Rajagopal.

When it’s about time we talk about music, everyone has their own preferences. For me, a person who indulges with a somewhat niche market of music which is anime music, I do find other genres to be lack of interesting. It is the same when other people doesn’t like my choice of music. But to be honest, my interest with anime or Japanese music doesn’t mean I like them totally. Nor do I hating other musics very much. It back to the basic of music itself. But first, let me talk a little bit about music here and there. Continue reading →

Teh O Ais Limau satu!

Teh O Ais Limau satu!

Recently, the parents have been mumbling about Malaysian kids getting fat or, in cool modern word, obesity. People start pointing fingers at each other and, as usual, the government will be blamed in the end. So as a drastic measure, government have called for experts at Ministry of Health to investigate the causes and how to eliminate or, at least, prevent more cases like this. Favorite people’s foods are taken into the brawl of who the fuck give them fat the most. Nasi Lemak, Hamburger, Sausages, Fried Noodles Fried Chickens, Canned Drinks and many more. As a result, canteens, cafeterias, nearby school eateries and food vendors were being pressured. They’re complaining too since some of them only selling Nasi Lemak, for instance, where their selling would be limited only two days per week. Discussions and arguments still go on. In the mean time, how about we go back to our childhood days? *flashback* Continue reading →

Most people don’t like Japanese anime to be dubbed into different language. To be fair, some of the Japanese don’t like games or animations from other countries to be dubbed in Japanese like that Modern Warfare 2 being localized in Japan. In Malaysia, we are blessed with many animations like 2D cartoons or even 3D to be dubbed in Malay language. This does not applied only to kid shows. Dramas from Japan, Korea, Philippines, Venezuela and other Latin America countries were dubbed into local language. While we still retain some of the shows to be in its original language, it can’t be help when majority of Japanese anime, that being considered as cartoons for kids, to be localized.

For Japan

Yes, I know that everyone blogs and tweets about it. The earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I bet some of you know the details much much more than me. The Richter scale, the tsunami radius, time line, number of casualties, etc. When I heard about it on Friday through Twitter, I immediately turned on the television and at that time, I wished I had more TVs so that I can watch CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera and Awani at the same time. But news on those channels are not that updated so I opted to live streams of JNN which was available almost instantly on the net. Continue reading →
