Happy Mayday 2011

The air is hot around workplaces..
signs of dissatisfaction..
wanting more.. giving less..
recognize us all.. abolish deals..
kill thy madness..
Between the air of celebration for the royal wedding..
signs of happiness..
for the future.. for real life..
demotivation.. be no more my ally..
transfer request..

and this song..
is always in my head..

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
Shovelled up like muck
Set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know I cherish you my love

But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town
You caught round the houses with your trousers down
A headrush in the bush
You know I cherish you my love
Oh how i cherish you my love

Tell me what can you want now you've got it all
The whole scene is obscene
Time will strip it away
A year and a day
And Bill Bones
Bill Bones knows what I mean
He knows it's eating, it's chewing me up
It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood
And it's all
It's all in my hands
And its all up the walls

Well the stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down
It's all these ignorant faces that bring this town down
And I sighed and sunken with pride
Well I passed myself down on my knees
Yes I passed myself down on my knees

Now tell me what can you want now you've got it all
The whole scene is obscene
Time will strip it away
A year and a day
And Bill Bones
Bill Bones knows what I mean
He knows theres fewer more distressing sights than that
Of an Englishman in a baseball cap
And we'll die in the class we were born
But that's a class of our own my love
A class of our own my love

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
Shovelled up like muck
Set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know I cherish you my love
Yeah I cherish you my love.

happy mayday..
working class heroes..

The Dwellings : 13

English:
49:13 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

Turkish:
49:13 Ey insanlar, gerçekten, biz sizi bir erkek ve bir disiden yarattik ve birbirinizle tanismaniz için sizi halklar ve kabileler (seklinde) kildik. Süphesiz, Allah katinda sizin en üstün (kerim) olaniniz, (irk ya da soyca degil) takvaca en ileride olaninizdir. Süphesiz Allah, bilendir, haber alandir.

French:
49:13 O hommes! Nous vous avons créés d'un mâle et d'une femelle, et Nous avons fait de vous des nations et des tribus, pour que vous vous entreconnaissiez. Le plus noble d'entre vous, auprès d'Allah, est le plus pieux. Allah est certes Omniscient et Grand-Connaisseur.

German:
49:13 O ihr Menschen, Wir haben euch von Mann und Weib erschaffen und euch zu Völkern und Stämmen gemacht, daß ihr einander kennen möchtet. Wahrlich, der Angesehenste von euch ist vor Allah der, der unter euch der Gerechteste ist. Siehe, Allah ist allwissend, allkundig.

Spanish:
49:13 ¡Hombres! Os hemos creado de un varón y de una hembra y hemos hecho de vosotros pueblos y tribus, para que os conozcáis unos a otros. Para Alá, el más noble de entre vosotros es el que más Le teme. Alá es omnisciente, está bien informado.

merdeka edition - a teacher, a fighter

guys, this is not just a tourism product.. its beyond that

Makam Pahlawan - Rosly Dhoby, Morshidi Sidek, Awg Ramli Amit, Bjg Suntong

The story... that been displayed for viewing...

Vehement opposition met the White Rajah's decision to cede Sarawak to the British Crown in 1946.

In December 1949, anti-cession fervour led to the fatal stabbing of a newly appointed colonial Governor. The assassin and three accomplices were convicted of murder and executed in March 1950. Their remains were moved from prison cemetery in Kuching to this permanent resting place on March 2 1996.

Later generations honour the spirit of these young men who sacrificed their lives for the ideals of independence and nationhood.

The truth... is more than this...

a kuching night

school's out..
it was raining in kuching last night
me, am and ehsan went out for a night cap
then wandered around the city
saw some love birds, heritage from colonial era,
and the impact of modernization on people's moral
on the wet sleek streets of kuching
out cold mist, sleek streets and vrooming motors
just like in penang, it is good when it rains
it washes away the night life sins
but none of it got my serious concern
coz deep in my heart, i think of something..
home..

big world

lately i realize that i live in the big world
but its is not about it's geography
not in terms of size and population
and in this big world, its scary... but sometimes funny

actually, it's about how 'big' people talk
how they lift up their own reputation
even their reputation only lingers around their own mind
but it reveals the mentality... or insanity

owh it's tough to live in the big world
when you feel like a tiny red ant surrounded by mammoths
no swords no shields, well no child is empty vassel
i'll lend them my ears... not my believes

so here's the stories

YB Rashid is my friend.
in fact not only a friend, he's my cousin.

act3 - i'm an encyclopedia
You know what,
brittny murphy will act in next harry potter
thaksin is now the president of phillipines
england won fifa WC 3 times already
You know what, WTF?

I'm 30 years old.
I was a salesman for 8 years.
5 years in penang as an architect.
