Post election. I have some new stuffs for you, well not exactly new, but some ads ran by local English daily The Star during the campaigning period. I am not here to judge but I shall let you be the one who judge.

Have a good read!

It is just 19 days away from the day Malaysians get to exercise their right to vote in the 13th General Election. Like many first time voters, I am, so to say, rather anxious as I booked my flight ticket home on the day the Parliament was dissolved.

May 5! Mark down your calendar. Take a day off, go home and vote for your country, for your community, for yourself, and for your next generation.

In case anyone of you are still reading this blog, here’s a video for your reflection. Though the title says “A Christian’s Reflection”, it does paint a picture for us all to reflect upon some of the key issues very dear to us as a nation.

Who to vote for?

We vote to ensure that our nation is guided by the ethics of respect for the human dignity and the principle for the common good.

Apart from the video, I’ve also made downloadable the 13th General Election Manifesto unveiled by the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat. I am still hoping for some kind soul to do a head-to-head comparison of what both coalitions promised.

God bless Malaysia!

 “How often do you look back and really reflect on what you’ve done? The insignificance of it all. Pointless arguments. Inside jokes. Funny haircuts. But do you ever wonder how you’ll be remembered? Or if what you’ve done and what you’re doing means anything at all? What will your songs sound like when you’re dead and gone? Will tears fall when the last note is sung? And how will your story be told? Will your words leave a bitter taste in their mouths or will they even remember you at all?

Compassion. The concept is rather simple, most know what it means to be civil, but there truly is a fine line between sweet and sour.

Give too much of yourself away, and you’ll be all used up. Not enough, and no one will be around to share this with. So what is it that motivates us to be better, gentler, more refined, I’d like to think it’s those close to us, close to the heart and soul. Those who carried you to the car after you puked on their shoes, those who took the blame for breaking the window when it was you who cast the stone, those who will be by your side when reality knocks on your door both good and bad, but more importantly, those whose stories you will share with your kids, and grand kids and their kids and their grandkids in hopes to somehow keep this all alive.

Chivalry. Decency. Kindness. Compassion. Desire. Strength.

How will you be remembered?”

Bullies called him pork chop. He took that pain with him and then cooked it into this…

An amazing film by Shane Koyczan who was bullied a lot when he was a kid. He took the pain and made this video.
