seeking purity is a lifelong journey

Life 101 - Chapter III - Forgiveness
and when another ramadhan comes, it always will appear to be the right time for an assessment. assessment to identify and evaluate whether or not our actions and/or words were a tad too generic and a mere play-it-safe so that it will sound socially-acceptable to the audience.
or could we have crossed some lines again just to finally say that we were just trying to "be ourselves"?.

one can't simply get away with saying "i'm sorry" or "i wasn't thinking right" or other comforting excuses alike when the damage is done, can we? still, let us all offer forgiveness and bury the hatchet. and one shall live longer for the burden is no longer sitting on one's exhausted shoulder. nobody said about forgetting anything.

cont'd.
i don't always "read", let alone having a series of drafts, whatever i have written in this blog or anywhere. of late, i couldn't resist the temptation of not writing anything at all. it was neither right nor wrong but i just don't feel like it.

there is a certain disadvantage of having no drafts or proof-reading. sub-consciously, i could have frustrated, if not angered someone with something i wrote or did.

on a more serious note, i think there is a need to un-complicate matters. there is an urgent need to remove or cushion my choice of words. of course, especially those with negative connotations as it always has been. most close friends would know how at times i could be your much-hated sarcastic bastard and self-centered and almost heartless.

so now i'm taking this not-so-rare-opportunity-actually to seek forgiveness, renew old ties and reconcile severed relationships (the latter i'm very sure hasn't happened yet) with all of my friends.

dear friends, please forgive me. selamat hari raya aidilfitri.

we'll play it by ear tonight.

1. another day passed by. this ain't no regular thursday. it's the first day of 2009. twothousandnine, it feels kind of weird saying that. and not to anyone's surprise, i have my eve spent in bed. from the window panes i saw the fireworks display. not amused.

2. australia is a very good movie. after the first two hours (it's a 3-hour-long movie), normally i would've settled for a quick nap. however, the very good-ness of this movie is how australia itself being displayed to international viewers from rather a quite different perspective. i wonder when we could have our own movie about malacca pre-1511. i wouldn't mind an epic tale of a happy-ending-love story though. we need to show the world the richness of our culture, custom and all.

3. i could not, until this very day, understand why the world has kept silent over the Israel-Palestine issue. isn't it obvious that the Jews are violating every single international law? "council de securite" of UN? (f**k 'em!). and the worst part is, the whole arab league does nothing. UAE is busy with the tallest building and all that shit when they can at least provide some humanitarian aid to the women and children. i feel bad. even worst when the spiritual leader of Iran released a fatwa for jihad against Israel. to me, the UN is just a made-up forum. they want us to play by their rules when there are actually no rules stopping them. i would say, let's get back to the Holy Book of Quran, if i can make my voice heard.
