Dengan bulan menyambut kemerdekaan yang ke 50 nih menjelang, it's so great to think back of the amazing things our country has achieved. Ok fine... so we have kinks here and there to be worked out, but hey.. nothing's perfect right?
Tapi while people talk about colonialism and stuff, I'd think the biggest oppressors we have to face in this day and age, bukan pengaruh Barat ker haper ker... but the attitude and mindset of our very own people.
My favourite phrase to use for the moment is, 'menang sorak, kampung tergadai'.
Pelik kan negara kita. Some of the lowest of the low I know, make helluva a lot of noice about the most menial things, not to make things right, tapi sebab nak validate their pathetic existence. It's a common syndrome and benda nih berleluasa sangat.
Contoh terbaik, reaksi pas komen komen aku dalam Debat Akademi Fantasia. Aku gelak saja sebab biasalah kan, ramai yang emo kuat time Akademi Fantasia nih.
But, cara pemikiran yang cetek dan sempit orang orang tertentu, makes me question whether any us post Merdeka kiddies have any insightful knowledge on what independence means to us.
Memacam ler kutuk dilemparkan kat aku, that I don't know my job, that aku emo, that aku menghina tak hengat...lantak la. So aku badan gemok...I like my nails black sebab aku like Harajuku inspired street fashion and I the goth look appeals to me, and I have piercings and tattooes.
Tapi the best thingis..., topik agama lak muncul.
Yes folks, you've heard it again and again, dan Tora datang lagi dengan the most favourite alasan of them all.
"Rezeki...takdir ditentukan Tuhan... blah blah blah"
Why is it everytime something is awful, mesti meka kata takdir tu ditentukan Tuhan? Aku ingat orang slalu kata, 'yang buruk dari kita, yang baik dari Nya' kan? So kalao buruk sesuatuh tuh, salahkan diri sendiri.I don't blame God for loser making asses of themselves right? I'd blame their parents though for bad genetics and lack of proper upbringing;
Ek eleh...ni nak salahkan a higger authority lak tuk kebodohan korang. And contoh mentaliti sekolompok rang yang takkan merdeka pikiran meka is segelintir peminat fanatik yang cakap jer lebih, but live mundane pathetic lives, thinking that for that one moment, they can fight some cause with insults.
Ini lah sample jiwa jiwa merdeka yang make it out that it's the undeniable will of God for pemilihan juara Akademi Fantasia (like the Great One above put that on his list of important items in the Inbox). Ini komen orang orang yang begitu bernas, daripada golongan peminat fanatik Aswad.

Yes, there you have it ladies and gentleman. Sample pertama hujah dari peminat Aswad kenapa Aswad begitu hebat dan patut menang, dan betapa salahnya point aku smalam. How do you fight with logic like this? I bet it took them a whole 24 hours nak carik argument yang begitu kukuh seperti ini.
Kritikan di label kutukan hanya kerana tidak dipersetujui. Yang jadik idola diangkat begitu tinggi sehingga ketaksuban yang membutakan tuh, makes them so superior! Dan bila takde point, soal bangsa dan agama pun leh jadik bahan. Hebat kan?
Kelompok camni yang rasa meka berhak menentukan hala tuju industri hiburan negara.
How about the next sample.

Hah...amik ko!!! Aku kafir satu hal. Dajal lak katanya!!! Agen Yahudi lak aku ni. Hebat kan aku multi tasking sebegituh! Wow! I never knew I was so multi talented!!!
Sejak bila soal bangsa dan agama leh dipertikaikan dalam rancangan realiti aku pun tatau. I mean, if Aswad sucks, he sucks because he has no talent and is a waste of time, bukan sebab bangsa atau agama dia. And kalao aku kritik kersana aku rasa he has no talent and is a waste of time, perlu ke bangsa aku (yang bukan Yahudi), atau agama (kafir pun kafir ler... kepercayaan aku kena ke sama baru my opinion ni ada value?) aku jadik bahan penghinaan?
Aku tak kisah ler orang nak kutuk aku gemuk ke apa ke (bukan ke Tuhan cipta aku sebegini dan ko sendiri menghina ciptaan Tuhan) tapi some things are just off limits. But not for these small minded people yang begitu beriya menjalankan tanggungjawab menyedarkan orang ni.

Another sample of greatness! Kerana aku Yahudi aku masuk media massa. Wow...just what magazines have these kids been reading?
Amazing kan. I'm apparently Jewish when I thought I was born Malaysian Chinese, and I was predestined to be in the mass media because of my unknown race and agenda. Amazing! Intelligent stuff!
Ada lagik...

Yes, more amazing compliments dan pujian dari orang begitu berpendidikan ini. Yes, wartawan wartawan anjing yang menyalak bukit katanya.Never mind my education, experience and hard work and reputation and everything else that goes into making me who I am today. Sebab aku memberikan pendapat dan kritikan, aku bangsa anjing ek. Well, if that was true, then I'd be right up your alley and you'd understand your mother tongue, wouldn't you, luv?
Erm...bab nyalak bukit aku stuju ler. Sebab kalao orang da membodohkan diri meka ngan statement begitu, what else can you say can? Taksub, angkuh dalam tidak ingin menerima pendapat dan kritikan orang.
Never mind you know nothing about the entertainment industry or the music scene, you are an expert sebab layan Akademi Fantasia dan da nonton bagaimana bubbling, hissing and phrasing di ajar. How educated.
How can I beat credibility like this? No no no...I am nothing compared to you being this.
