RM350 to replace my windshield. There goes my duit beli baju raya. Macam mana la batu tu bole kena keta aku.

Bila cermin kereta aku pecah, sticker road tax tak boleh nak tanggalkan. Bila aku cuba buka sticker tu memang akan hancur. So I had to make a police report to make a new copy of the road tax. Bila dah buat report polis kena dtg esoknye utk pengesahan. Rupa-rupanya pengesahan laporan polis hanya dari pukul 8 pagi - 3 petang. Masa aku buat report tu dah pukul 6 petang.

Keesokan harinya aku pergi balai, ambil pengesahan and terus pergi JPJ kat Padang Jawa tu. Nasib baik tak banyak orang. Cuma sebelum aku tunjuk report polis tu pegawai kat kaunter tu tanya macam2 pulak. Aku malas nak jawab terus bagi report polis tu. Lepas tu org JPJ tu tak banyak tanya dah. Terus buat and bagi aku copy sticker road tax baru.

Aftermath of 9/11

The Bush administration doctrine of pre-emptive strike was done because of fear of 9/11. Before they strike us, we better strike them first. Isolate a few, establish potential threat and strike. These so called terrorist are operating cell by cell but a whole nation is attacked. This doctrine which is heavyly endorsed by develop nation has not won many favours among the global community.

Doubts, divisions and defections have developed among American allies. For what has started as sympathy for the United States has turned into suspicion and, for some, even hatred. The prisons at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Gharib, the treatment of prisoners, secret prisons and rendition flights all added to this feeling. It is not a simple matter. Acknowledging and emptying the secrets camps and other coveted moves may answer a few criticism against the US but not all and their overall effect remains to be seen.

The war against Afghan, Iraq, the Palestine-Israel conflict, the growing tension against Iran – How can this American nation portray themselves as victim in the war of terror along with their allies, the UK and the Israel. How can they? When everyday we see more lives are shattered by their doings. People in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Afghan, and Syria. Civilians just like you and I being robbed in daylight of their home, their family, their world.

This is not about the clash of civilization. This is about people’s life. Ordinary people like you and me. I hope for a better tomorrow. Where we can live peacefully and walk anywhere without fear. Without worrying that our own blood will not spill on our own soil. I know this is too optimistic but allow me to at least hope for a bright future any day anytime anywhere.

Aku.. Membayangkan Surga Ada Di Depanku
Depan Mataku..
Saat Aku Menikmati Teduhnya Wajahmu
Indah Hatimu

Tak Jemu-jemu Ku Pandang
Begitu Elok Kau Tercipta

#
Tak Pernah Henti-hentinya Aku
Terus Mencintai Dirimu
Tak Pernah Henti-hentinya Aku
Tetap Menyayangi Dirimu
Seperti Adanya Diriku
Seperti Adanya Aku Ini
Seperti Adanya Diriku
Seperti Adanya...

Aku Ingin Melupakan Hasrat Tuk Melangkah Sejenak Pergi
Inginku Sempurnakan Hidupku Disampingmu Memeluk Jiwamu

Tak Jemu-jemu Ku Pandang
Begitu Elok Kau Tercipta
