The above poetry is the reflection of what is going on in Iraq. I haven't been blogging yesterday due to the fact that I was chasing a deadline. Gosh, had to say back till 8.30 p.m. and arrived home at 10 p.m. Shards, I live way too far or better still I need a car.
Now, back to Iraq. I wonder, could it just be that the US of A invasion is ment to be faux. Hey, they actually united the Iraqis. Of course the Iraqis is out to blow them to Kingdom Come to get rid of the but hey, progress has to be made somewhere right?
I am sick of this war. There is no profit in it and maybe I shouldn't be talking about it. It's depressing with no quick solution to be found anywhere.
I feel mildly tired everyday. Facing people who makes me want to scream in frustration. I mean, come on ppl, don't expect me to solve ALL you problems. Macam pelik la pulak. Nobody can be that dumb in IT right??????? Wrong. I spend the whole morning doing troubleshooting for the 1st floor. They blame my system for making their life a misery when it's their incompetance.
Love Anyone?
For the 1000000000th time, I am infactuated. As hell. Come on, Julie you are 23 already this year. This is way too childish for you. But when it got really bad, I threw up my hand and called up my best friend's boyfriend. I mean who would understand me except someone who is foolishly in love too:D No offence.
Az, says that I fall for the strangest man. Not handsome in any particular way, no where near my age (older) and strange. I guess mature man appeals me due to the fact that I am quite mature myself (mentally that is). Emotionally, I'm a 5 year old. Heh, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a blather over this person.
I want but am not prepared to risk it all. Life is strange indeed. I am surrounded by loving family that I want someone who adores me just as much. Exasperating as I am. My parents and brother loves every part of me, even the one that drive them nuts. Now, how can any man compete with that? Plus, my family is indulgent of me :D
Well, I'll get over it, again.... hah...
GTG, work calls. Take care ppl. Life can be so fragile.
Love,
Julie
I have this problem of liking people. I mean when I am face to face with them, I like them. Or so it seems. I am genuinely interested in what people have to say. We'd exchange news, gossip and information when we meet. Then after that person leaves, I'm left pondering over things like,
Who was this person's name again?
Where did I know her from?
Huh? Whatever..
Nice meeting an old friend.
And so far the worse, God, I hate her/his guts.
For my close friends, it seems a mystery to them because they can't understand how I could pretend to enjoy the meeting. They are wrong! I don't pretend! I genuinely enjoy meeting/stumbling into old/new friends. Enemy or not doesn't matter. Think about it, in this world full of strangers, aren't you glad to meet familiar faces?
At least I'd know how they are doing. What's going on in their life. Share their happiness and sorrow. For that moment in time when we stand face to face, talking. The world see, so far away, as we exchange latest information and gossips. Of course, I rarely hate someone. There's this one stupid girl that I owe a dribbling. But even if I meet her face to face, I'd be pleasant.
Some acuses me of being a pretender. I think in my defence, I can say that I like to avoid unpleasantness if possible in all situations. Being confrontational never solves any problem.
Which reminds me, last weekend I traveled to Melaka to make my sun shades, heh, very vain. Traveling back to Kuala Lumpur, my dad drove through the old road, passing villages, small towns and medium sized towns. I realise why, Az, accuses me of having Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). I want so many different things at different times.
Personality #1
I want to have a farm. With lots and lots of cows and horses. Make mega bucks at producing food. At the same time indulge myself with constant horse riding. It'll be fun to have cattle farm and horses. The work is hard but the rewards you reap is more then enough to compensate.
Personality #2
I want to work in a big corporation where I live, eat and breath adrenaline. I'd like a challanging job that takes my time and gives me a sense of accomplishment. Work late, maybe but with lazy indulgence. I'd live in a high rise apartment where there's no nosy neighbours around.
Personality #3
I want to live in a small town where everybody knows everyone else. I'd work in a small town company which is flexible to my timetable. I'd be involved in a community and join all the charitable organization during my spare time. Occasional movies when I go to the nearest major town and I'd have no worries if I wake up in the morning and see that my car has a flat tire. Ppl are always there to lend a helping hand.
Personality #4
I'd just do what I do now. Living in a comfortable environment without any career ambitions. Invest wisely (heh) and become financially dependant. When I've reach the point where I don't have to work, then I'd just work for fun. Once, I am completely independant I'd travel. Unfortunately, this life doesn't include any significant other, so I'd be mostly alone. A torrid scandal here and there but nothing that will become what I consider as luggages. Sure I want to get married who doesn't but not to someone who doesn't share my ambitions.
So? Convinced yet? I have multiple personality indeed. Later ppl!!!
Love,
Julie.
A few days ago we got news that a bunch of American soldiers and merc. was bombed in Iraq. As the story go, I am no longer shocked nor awed at what happened. What almost shocked me into an early coma was the reaction of the public in Iraq against the dead bodies. There's a horrific picture posted in warblogging. I was suprised at the strange reaction towards the dead.
Typically, as Muslims we are taught to respect the dead. It is believed that the once the soul is taken away by the angel of death, the body awaits in pain for the soul to come back to the body once it's buried. Hence the haste in most Muslim funeral. Therefore, the caretakers usually treats the decesed gently, because the pain felt by the soul is supposedly multiplied in death.
The picture in warblogging shows a cheering crowd stringing up the dead at a bridge. What happened to the Iraqis? Why do they hate the foreigners so much as to go as far as hanging burnt bodies? What caused such immense hatred that such incidents happened?
The US of A formally denys such hatred towards the foreigners. They say, it's the minority that is out to bring Saddam back. But I was not convinced. Not after reading about what happened in Iraq from their local blogger. Of course the US of A said that this attacks on the army personel et al was done by foreign fighters. My father said ironically, if you noticed the biggest number of foreign fighters comes from the US of A themselves. Hmm... food for thought.
What I don't understand is knowing that they went to Iraq to 'liberate' the Iraqis from a dictator (hope the term is right), why would the replace that 'dictator' with a puppet democracy? Let's see.., the 'people's representative' are elected by the US of A. There's no public election for fear of Ba'athist uprising in the major post in the government. The head, Cilako (sp) is a crook who ran from imprisonment somewhere in the Middle East (Eqypt if I'm not mistaken). Of course most of the elected representative was the bunch who ran from Iraq when the going gets tough.
I'm beginning to like the American version of democracy. I bet the American forefather is cursing the current government. How to control the world;
First, stir trouble all around the world.
Then, distract the good ppl with various source of entertainment. No point wasting their time being concerned about 'other' ppl's problems.
Now, support 'friendly' dictators and despot in place so that there will be no possibility of the the country growing. Curse those idiots who are born in tha country, who told them to be born there. Idiots!
Next, buy the cheapest material and turn them into products and sell them back to that loser country. In other words, bleed them dry, baby!
Finally, develop the latest weaponery technology so we can threaten to blast resistors to kingdom come. How dare they!! Oh, don't forget to make sure that they don't develop any WMD. Those idiots are the devils. We are on the sides of the angels. Anyone who isn't an American is bad. The Russians, the Middle Eastern, the Koreans, the North Americans, the Canadians heck the whole world is against us.
Hmmm... that might just be the manual they keep in the White House. Except the had made an economical blunder. Right now they are sending all the factories to Asia, mostly China because the low labour cost. Now think with me. If you take away the income of the very people who consumes your product, how are they going to pay for it? Okey lets keep it simple. If Americans have no income, how are they going to keep on buying all the American products? The US of A is the biggest consumer market in the world!!! What are the big corporations thinking? Oh, yes, bottom line. I just love this idea of pure capitalisme and globalization. Don't you?
Well, I've ranted quite enough for one night, don't you think? GTG, need to read more info. Oh, BTW I had a good time today traveling to Malacca. We took the back road and it was fun. Definitly relaxing. Should plan a picnic soon. Later!!!
Love,
Julie
