cartoon wisdom of the day

just thought of something.
i remember a line from the "turbo" movie,
it was something along the lines of;

"...the faster you accept how miserable your life is,
the more happy you will be..."

eventhough it refers to the mundane life of snails,
i'm actually gradually coming round to that
line of thinking about my own life.

i'll probably never be lucky enough to settle down.

get god points by feeding me.

i might as well attack konon religious folk while i'm at it.

i hate it when people preach about spending your wealth
on the "right path" a.k.a funding shady religious people.
you know, people who have nothing else to do.

i'd like to see statistical facts that religious groups
are not made of majority of those who are unemployed,
but are made of people who are truly in it for god.

so they expect you to spend on the right path,
which basically means funding their shelter,
their canteen food, and their travel expenses.

oh, and don't forget to pick them up at the airport,
make sure your house turns into a damn hostel,
and take leave from work to join preaching trips.

here's a tip; GET A JOB.

accumulate a bit of wealth,
take care of your family and loved ones,
make sure you get your religious needs done,
then do whatever preaching you want in your free time,
and don't drag and EXPECT righteous help from others.

give religion the justice and appreciation it deserves.
change my perception. prove me wrong.
that konon religious folk aren't just a bunch of freeloaders.
 

everybody is doing it? count me in!

oh, while i'm on the subject,
and a touchy subject it may be,
malays are exactly the same.

we'd rather slit our own throats
for the promise of political maturity,
the false sense of battling corruption
and the false premise of religious superiority.
if we have to bring our own down, so be it.

malay malaysians. going with what's popular,
believing the alternative isn't just as bad,
and dismissing the possibility they'll be worse.

...rapidly moving to stupidity. if not there already.
 

money and resource can't buy intelligence.

imagine this, you have an enemy.

say you want to bring em down,
just imagine the time needed to plan things,
not to mention the money you need for resources.

now, imagine trying to bring down an entire country.
so you have to multiply the time and
compound all the monetary calculations.

now, imagine expanding that to an entire continent,
can you just imagine the time, people,
information, resource, and money involved?

but wait, say for some ridiculous miracle,
or some twisted ideology or thirst for power,
or due to the absolute stupidity of the people,
your enemy starts killing themselves,
bringing their own continent down. on their own.

that's what extremists are. pure stupidity.
 

yes we are.

lyrical posto again. this time off
the under-rated "we are" from vertical horizon.

 

 

bit to the left, bit to the right.

everyone has their quirks.

one of mine involves being rather symetrical.
i can't stand seeing things not looking organized
or uniform or out of order or out of sequence.

i'm the guy you can see arranging books
or arranging groceries on their shelves.
particularly when people aren't looking.

can't help it. sorry.
 

goyang siii, goyang!

you know what sight never fails to crack me up?
seeing someone rocking their car back and forth
at a petrol station when they're filling up the tank.

god knows what the hell they expect to achieve.
 

dont push it. if you ain't me.

the thing about racial jokes is,
you hafta be of that race or religion
in order for it to be acceptable.

why is that?

if we're ok with our own cracking jokes
about our nonsensical ways and / or
counter-productive thinking, then why be mad?

if you're blindfolded and someone tells you a joke
in which you whole-heartedly laugh to,
then you realize it isn't one of your own
and you react super adversely towards it,
isn't that more of a reflection on YOU instead?

if i were you, i'd take the smart route.
give as good as you take. return the favour.
you might be surprised with the results.

there's always more than one way to mature forward.
take a chance. change racial harmony.
cultivate racial humour instead.

ok, maybe not in this country.
 

asal tak pasang je kain langsir skali?

i hate seeing cars with lotsa household deco in it.
da la tak lawa, menyemak kete je aku tengok.
i'm talking cushions and flowers and all sorts of nonsense.

it's a car. not a house.

big appreciation of the day.

it's always nice to be appreciated.

doesn't matter what it's for, or who it's from.
but when it comes from your boss,
it's a pretty good feeling, you know.

...if only he / she got your name right.

yes or no.

another lovely lyrical posto,
it isn't clear who performs this song, "yes or no".
but i lurve the line. just lurve it.

  

then.now.always.

people don't change.

who you are today isn't a coincidence.
who you are today is simply who you always were,
given the current conditions and current state of mind.

...people don't change.

open suggestions of the day.

call it boredom, or the lack of social activity,
but i'm (finally) signing up for a new twitter account.
what i'd like from you is, suggestions for a username.

grin.

went off to the supermarket earlier today.
as i went out, i noticed something new
hung over the entrance and the guard house.

hari raya decorations!

they're these cheap, colourful band of lights,
woven together with pieces of bright plastic ketupat,
a simple yet festive ornament amongst the norm around it.

...small things like that make me smile.
