You heard the siren blaring, then you see an ambulance racing down the street, you automatically think that o-o someone's in trouble. You wish that the ambulance would get to its destination quickly as it clearly is a life and death matter. But, you know that won't be the case, and as always the main roads in Kuala Lumpur is in a gridlock. So now, you can see the ambulance is trapped in the traffic. Then you hear another siren blaring, you are like, this is bad, another ambulance going to get stuck in front of you. But, lo and behold it is not another ambulance, it is a convoy of police outriders flanking some VIP's car maneuvering the traffic. In a matter of second, the VIP's car is smoothly on its way to some God knows errant, and that pitiful ambulance is still stucked in the traffic. I'm wondering which one is more important, a VIP that clearly has poor time management that he has to have outriders clearing the way for him so that he will not be late for that stupid luncheon or what-not, or that guy in the ambulance fighting for his life. May be I'm a simpleton since clearly the system prefers the VIP. Probably the system's way of ensuring only the fittest survive huh.

I have nothing against Siti, if she wants to milk everything in sight, then by all means go ahead. It is just that I'm wondering why one of the ministries gave Siti an award/recognition when she managed to perform in London, in a place she rented for a night, performing in front of mostly Malaysian audiences. Because on the other side, there is Raihan. I mean, Raihan toured the whole of France, and it was by invitation, performing in front of European, and they have also performed in front of Prince Charles and the Queen, but nobody gives a hoot. I guess Raihan is not as pretty as Siti, that's why no one cares. I cannot also blame Siti, if people insisted on giving her things, the least she could do is accept them gracefully kan. And I guess listening to lyrics asking you to practice good values and remembering your maker are not as entertaining as listening to songs about unrequited love or passionate loving. Whatever lah, what ever floats your boat lah Mr. Minister.

The ability of the hills and trees to imitate Oreo cookies. Now you see it, now you don't. One day there is a green forest in front of your house, then the next day it become a desert of red colored earth. It does make me wonder if Tree Sheppard exists. You know like those Tree Sheppards in the LOTR. They can herd trees to another locations when the needs arise. May be the trees move to another less smoggy area. If we human can tolerate smog/haze, doesn't mean that the trees can take it standing too.
