[248] Of learn to fly

hook me up a new revolution,
cuz this one is a lie,
we sat around laughin and watched the last one die

p/s – an excerpt from The Star:

PAS and Parti Keadilan Nasional Youth handed over a 19-point memorandum to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi urging him, among others, to reinstate government aid to the people’s religious school and to reserve admission only for bumiputras to bumiputra institutions like the Mara junior science colleges, Mara skills institute and Giatmara centres.

I take back my words about “Keadilan oddly enough fights for some of my ideal”.

[247] Of moving on II

Life goes on. Everything seems to be as usual, at least for me despite the loss of two friends. The weather however doesn’t help a lot. It’s gloomy outside early in the morning. And right now, Ann Arbor is very foggy and visibility is estimated merely 100 meters. I could barely make out State St. from C-House.
I shouldn’t be affected by this tragedy but somehow, it’s depressing to acknowledge the fact that you’ve lost two persons that you know.

The Michigan students on the other hand are gearing up for the upcoming election. And it’s too early for me to make up my mind on which should receive my vote. The criteria meanwhile is set.

p/s – PAS has finally unveiled its plan for the establishment of an Islamic Federation of Malaysia after more than five years of saying it will do so. Strategically, PAS can say goodbye to the upcoming Malaysia’s general election though quite possibly they will retain Kelantan and Terengganu, at a reduced majority.

[246] Of moving on

What is this pain that I feel?
Why must I suffer what I feel?
For it is not me who bleeds,
It’s not me who should be healed.

[245] Of overwhelmed with attention

The Umich Malaysian Students’ Association is overwhelmed with attention but unfortunately and sadly, it is for the wrong reason.
As the dust starts to settle down, details are coming in. One of them is at Kirah’s. Sorry, it’s in hybrid Malay but it is still readable for most parts.

The earliest reports were reported by the Michigan Daily and by the Ann Arbor News.

[244] Of losing friends

Two fellow Malaysians in Michigan have just died from a traffic accident. A source said they were trying to cross the street.
I can’t remember when the last time I said hi to them but I hope they are rested in peace.
