Pening kepala

Suhu badan aku meningkat. Demam aku bertambah teruk.

Dan aku semakin horny.

Nanti bila otak berfungsi dengan baik, aku perlu tulis surat rayuan untuk membenarkan aku mengambil peperiksaan bulan depan. Kehadiran aku tidak membantu.

Mengeblog tidak perlukan otak untuk berfungsi dengan baik. Dengar tu Abu Shah? Persetankan kursus blogging kau.

Weezer tabik kepada warga YouTube

Album baru akan dilancarkan pada 3 Jun ini.

28 years later

Aku tak tahu kenapa diorang nak berebutkan pulau itu. Boleh sesiapa bagi tahu aku tak?

Kenapa tak selesaikan dengan cara yang lebih senang. Contoh: Pulau tu bagi kat Malaysia dan pulangannya, Malaysia bagi potongan harga untuk air atau pasir. Takpun, Malaysia bagi pulau tu kat Singapura, dan Singapura tanggung kos pembinaan jambatan yang hodoh itu.

Aku meluat apabila mendengar ayat "kedaulatan pulau itu telah diserahkan kepada...." Cheh. Aku sendiri tak pasti kalau ada manusia yang tinggal di pulau itu. Ada sesiapa nak berikan kepastian kepada aku?

Semasa aku menjaga anak orang di sebuah hotel di kawasan Bukit Bintang yang penuh dengan orang-orang berketurunan Arab, aku mendengar siaran langsung pertikaian antara Malaysia dan Singapura dari Belanda. Untungnya orang RTM, berpeluang pergi ke Belanda. Ya, aku mendengar sahaja kerana tengah sibuk menyunting video laporan khas untuk kelas Kewartawanan Penyiaran.

Terus terang aku katakan, aku benci kelas itu. Aku tidak pernah berminat untuk memegang mikrofon dan bercakap di hadapan kamera video. Aku benci pensyarah kelas itu juga. Entah kenapa.

Oh yea, berbalik kepada topik asal. Eh, kenapa aku menulis entri blog dalam Bahasa Melayu? Haih, serabutnya kepala aku hari ini. Sesudahnya pertikaian itu dileraikan dengan penyerahan batu yang besar itu kepada Singapura, aku turun ke bawah.

Aku pergi ke Bentley. Aku lihat gitar bass Ibanez. Haih, aku teringin sangat untuk memilikinya. Kenapa lah aku bayar deposit untuk gitar bass Yamaha murah itu. Kemudian amp bass Ibanez itu pun menarik perhatian aku. Tapi rasanya amp multi-purpose Laney aku tu ok lah. Aku suka sebab aku boleh condongkannya untuk meletakkan kaki aku di atas amp tersebut. Kononnya rockstar tapi haram satu lagu original pun tak pernah tulis sampai habis. Salahkan gitaris aku.

Mahathir quits Umno

"Former Umno president Dr Mahathir Mohamad today announced that he was quitting Umno with immediate effect and urged other members to emulate him. He said he was quitting the party, which he led for almost 22 years until handing over the reins to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in 2003, as a sign of no confidence in his successor's leadership.

"I will only come back to the party when there is a change in leadership," the ex-premier told a crowd at a forum in his home state of Kedah this morning.

He also called on all Umno ministers, deputy ministers and all levels of party leaders to join him in quitting the party. However, he asked these members not to join other political parties.

"Wait 'till Abdullah quit as the prime minister and party president and then we can return to Umno," he said.

Mahathir dropped the bombshell during his speech at the 'The Position of Malays post-12th General Elections' in Alor Star. His resignation appears to be part of his strategy in upping the ante in his bid to force Abdullah to step down in the wake of the ruling coalition's worst setback in the March 8 polls."

Kecoh betul la orang tua ni. Aku pun pernah juga buat apa yang dia buat - merajuk konon protes sebab things doesn't go according to MY WAY, masa tu aku masih kecil lagi lah. Zaman belum ada nafsu nak tengok porno.

Kalau sikit-sikit nak merajuk, macam mana nak maju.
Somehow, I personally think that he is just trying to create another news to divert media and people's attention from the Lingam case.

Now that he left the UMNO Baru that he formed in 1988, will there be a new party called Post-UMNO Baru? Or Neo-UMNO Baru? Or Nu-UMNO? What is he trying to implement - that members can just quit and re-join whenever they feel like to? Is he trying to re-create the Semangat 46 scenario?

This whole founder-resign-from-part reminds me of the late Syed Hussein Alatas. He left the party Gerakan which he formed in 1968 after the party joined the Alliance coalition government in 1972. Back then, Gerakan campaigned on a platform of social justice and the reduction or elimination of Bumiputra privileges outlined by Article 153 of the Constitution.

Gerakan held a victory rally in the capital of Kuala Lumpur to celebrate. However, it deviated from its planned route into Malay areas of the city, where party members jeered at the Malays. Although an apology was issued the following day, UMNO held a retaliatory rally.

This rally soon degenerated into outright rioting with at least 180 people killed during the subsequent riots (although other estimates put it substantially higher). As a result, a state of emergency was declared, and Parliament was suspended; it did not reconvene until 1971.

Eh, apa ni? Tak relevant langsung.

Back to Mahathir, now he is back to playing the Malay race card. So much for "Bangsa Malaysia" during his Vision 2020 eh? You can read what he wrote regarding the Ketuanan Melayu on his blog.

Hey Imam besar Hadhari, when are you going to take care of this fucked up situation? Tak best lah tinggal di negara yang kelam kabut. Kitorang baru lepas menyanyi lagu "Here In My Home" beramai-ramai.

Stop demanding for Pak Lah's resignation. Problems doesn't come overnight you know. People don't grow their hatred towards the current government in just 4 years. Also, stop attacking the new state governments because they didn't do good. Again, changes do not happen overnight.

This is the second time that Mahathir "stepped out" from the party. The first was in 1969, when he criticised Tunku Abdul Rahman, the Prime Minister and UMNO president at that time.

Maybe we should all get together, hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
