I just want to know…

When can we, the citizens of the country, finally know the truth? When can we have media that is not oppressed?

When will the government finally stop lying to us? When will they finally come clean?

Why do we have to put up with so much crap from the current powers that be?

Why why why why why!

I am so tired of all that is going on. I will go on strike, just like Rocky and MarinaM.

Dammit all I want is the truth is that too much to ask!

How ridiculous it is…..

That when a statutory declaration is filed implicating a senior politician (read: Najib) with one of the most brutal murder cases in the history of the country, the government is so quick to jump to the defense of said politician.

However, when a police report is filed by a 23-yr old male who has a questionable past “implicating” a senior Opposition leader in a sodomy case, the government speeds up the inquiry process and sends their forensics team in and out of the supposed crime scene as though they were acting in the tv series CSI.

Why is the police process not as quick when rape claims are filed? Why are snatch theft cases treated lightly? What about RPK’s statutory declaration? Why has it been pushed to the back of the pile? What are you trying to cover up?

DO YOU THINK WE ARE STUPID? Well, news flash: We are not stupid. You, the government, may have politicians who barely passed school and may also have graduates from prestigious universities (far and few in between). However, do not underestimate the intelligence of the rakyat. We shall not be fooled by you and your mainstream media as most of us were in 1998 when you took great pride in parading mattresses in and out of court.

Shiver and shake in your shoes, Barisan Nasional. Be defiant and pretend that all will be well. Good luck, though, because I strongly suspect that the way things are going now and with the way the rakyat are responding to it, you will most probably not be in power any longer.

PM, I am damn disappointed in you. Even after March 8, I thought that you were perhaps still decently okay to lead the country. But look at what you’ve done. Look at the useless corrupt people you are trying to cover up for. Failure. Failure. FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Take a sail on the failboat, BN.

Summer and Money :(

June 5th, 2008 by carol

I am very sad. T_______________T

Summer vacation will be here in 2 weeks and there are so many things I want to do but NO MONEY! :(

A friend was asking if I wanted to go on a package trip to Niagara Falls/Washington D.C. If we can find another person it will be $117 for a 3d2n trip.

$117. You think I’ve got $117 hanging around just waiting to be used issit. :(
But I want to go lor. Okay la I eat at home for 2 weeks. Bread and Maggi noodles and vegetables and rice and luncheon meat because it’s cheap hurray.

Then there’s Puccini’s Tosca that I am confirmed to be going for. $40 for $60 tickets (thanks to Lowell) that’s supposed to be $120 (thanks to me and my subscription to the NY Phil).

And then Richard wants to go watch Broadway I also want la but $25 for student tickets; do I have $25 more to spare? I think not. Haih okay cancel Broadway plans. Goodbye, Phantom of the Opera, Legally Blonde, Mary Poppins and Grease.

I think this is going to be my only relatively free summer lor. Freshman summer is supposed to be the only one where you can play. I intend to work for sophomore year summer, and I think I need to do an internship during junior year. Then after that I graduate, an old old person who will be plunged into the cruel working world of 2-weeks vacation in a single year. Save me.

I bought a new pair of earphones to replace the pair that was CRUELLY stolen from me, so that was another $80 gone. This pair had better last me for another two years minimum because there’s no way I’m going to be able to afford another pair of earphones if anything else happens to this. Bah.

Then I placed an order for something special that is absolutely necessary.

And I bought a new Bible to replace the one that was CRUELLY stolen from me. T___T

Cruelty cruelty cruelty! I have estimated the losses from the theft of my bag to be about $500 good grief. *cries buckets* T____________________________T

And I have phone bills to pay. And rent to pay. Good grief, my checking account is getting quite a workout.

This is getting annoying. Bah. Back to doing my computer assignment which is a total pain in the butt. Can’t wait to be done with this class.

I’ll eat vegetables, rice, noodles, bread and kaya for the next 3 weeks. :(
