Passport issue, and Uthaya’s video

Well, if to say Waytha’s passport cancellation by the Government surprises you, too bad! This was predicted way long and its the only thing you can expect to happen. How long did you think the Government was going to let MrWaythaa go around the world and basically campaign for HINDRAF ?

There is only two option for him now. Come back to Malaysia, and of course , risked getting arrested. Or, go to the most friendly Commonwealth country and seek for political asylum status. Any third option, lawyers?

Best of luck to you sir.

In the meantime, Uthaya was whisked off to Taiping Hospital yesterday, 15th May. Here is a video recorded by reader Vicky, Hindraf’s Ipoh coordinator.

CineFashion, Bharata Natyam

While I was drooling over Miss Cine Fashion pictures ( ) , I remembered one advertisement I saw over at the KL Sentral station last weekend. The music can catch any traditional dance lovers’ attention.

CF-Bharata

It was the Cine Fashion’s Bharata Natyam Competition 2008. It was on May 11th if I wasn’t mistaken. I can’t go. It is by invitation it seems. And heck, since I’m not any celebrity or a VIP, so no free entrance lah tu :(

 That was the finalist. So anyone went for it? Who won…any videos? Youtube?

CineFashion is certainly doing a good job in promoting and keeping the culture. They manage to give a new breath to Indian culture, fashion and lifestyle. I was made to understand that CineFashion actually has a circulation of 25,000 a month. *_* Mostly up-market readers.

No, I’m not being paid by CFashion for this post (not yet lah,but hoping)  but I’m also not posting this so that I can get VIP seat for / date with Miss Cine Fashion 2008. (Read : if you are from CFashion, that means I am hoping for such invitation..hahaha)

Heck, you tell me. Why wouldn’t anyone buy the mag if the front page is filled with Surya and Aishwarya’s sexy body. Woow, is that Trisha?

Want to know when people won’t buy the magazine…well, CFashion people beware, just use this as front page… confirm bankrupt!

I (used to) love blogging

When I started blogging, I thought it was the best medium for me to express myself. I am a weird guy, no not so weird that you might get freaked out, but the kind of guy who you won’t dare to judge by his appearance. Not the first impression, not second, in fact never. I don’t sound like this when I am having normal conversation, none would say this kid can actually be ‘the kid’. Its like being Anniyan (the Tamil movie where you have the protagonist suffering from multiple-split personality) , and writing helps me from suffering any major psychological disorder :p It is better to express yourself openly than keeping a silent tone.

 

So it was, a year ago that I started to write actively. I always make it a point to be at the other end of the world. If majority goes to A, I will be at B. I want to be different, I am rebellious. I don’t like the notion of society exerting their views and indoctrines on members of the community. And I certainly don’t like people telling me what I must do. I don’t like when someone tells me of those so called ‘rules’, rules which are often hidden behind the disguise of social culture and religion.

 

So I speak up. Unfortunately, Indians, or Asians at large, don’t really like the idea of youngsters questioning elders. Sigh.

 

But now, to be frank, I don’t enjoy blogging as much as I did a year ago. The word ‘blog’ and ‘bloggers’ are often used in Malaysia as something…something out of this world. Its like saying an alien word, a word that seems to be taking over the world at least. Previously blogs were deemed as a threat to national security, that bloggers are all unemployed and 80% are women. And see how within months the world (ok ok, the nation) has changed. Now the same government wants to have an official blog. And here’s a new trend, every big players are blogging, Tun M, Khir Toyo, the famous Chua SoiLek and who else…its like every newcomer blogger can stand for “Best Newcomer” award!

 

That is actually a good news. It is like a changing human cells, adapting to the changing environment. Its good to see how society is embracing the new media.

 

Oh, i forgot! Talking of the newcomers. If my sources are correct, and well, they are correct most of the time, wait for the most surprising entry to the blog world, ‘he‘ is coming soon, joining the big-boys club. You will never believe that ‘he‘ is starting blog as well. Its gonna be massive, that is for sure. Sooon…very soon.

 

Back to the story.

 

What irritates me is that some people, they don’t write to simply express themselves. They don’t put into words what their humble opinion is. They write to take a bash on others. Khir Toyo bashes PakLah and those who don’t sail in his boat. Tun M, well what can I say. He simply writes to bash the government. He can’t get mainstream media, so he turns to Blogspot. Many more people, who thinks blogging is the way for them to reach out to the mass, and the reason to reach out is to humiliate and bash,bash,bash,bash certain people.

 

Sad to see how the blogging world now turning into an ocean of opportunistic writers. They are not sincere in embracing blogs, its simply because they want to be popular, they want to be heard and they want to be with ‘cool’, the ‘in-thing

 

Blogs are now becoming mainstream media, it doesn’t really appeal me much anymore. Everyone claims their self as blogger. There is one politician who created blog, wrote once in a while, stopped writing for almost half a year, and now back into the picture. And he still can go to public claiming he is a blogger. If it makes people happy…amiklah!

 

And Bernama reported that UITM might introduce blogging as a new subject in its media-studies. BORING!

 

Or is it just me…
