Malaysian Moral Story

Once upon a time there lived a man in Malaysia named Mohd Ali bin Abu bakar who resided from Kedah. He had the perfect life, a faithful and helpful wife, a daughter and 2 sons. He had always wanted to contribute to his country so he worked as a soldier in the Malaysian Royal army. He was a very patriotic man and he was an outstanding soldier in his force and after a few years of service he was promoted to Captain. Ali being very proud of his stripes had hundreds of men under his command and he is elite in using fire arms.

Being part of the army meant that he had to go to different places, executing missions around Malaysia and sometimes in other countries. He worked really hard and he had volunteered in many countries fighting and sometimes helping people who have suffered from things such as war, natural disasters or any tragedies. Naturally he would be away from his family quite often and he only sees them once every few months, but being a patriot he is willing to bear this sacrifice.

His family has always feared for his safety but they are well aware that his job is a noble one and it pays the bills. However one day there was a war going on in Arab and duty called. He had to go to Arab for a rescue mission because a VIP from Malaysia who was there some unknown reason got caught in a crossfire between some rebels and millitants before being kidnapped. The Prime minister was very worried so he made this mission top priority.

While arriving in arab Captain Ali noticed the weather was extremely hot and the surroundings were very barren. Its was a complete place of misery as the paths were dusty, the sun danced evily around your head and there doesnt seem to be any sign of life as the weather was just too hot. Captain Ali wasnt faltered by his surroundings, he just wanted to carry on with the rescue mission and go back home to his family. On the next day at the crack of dawn he and his platoon will set out to the danger zone and bring the VIP back.

The following day at the crack of dawn they set out into the desert to travel to the danger zone which is about 3 hours ride. As the terrain was very bad and the whole area consist of tall sand dunes, they used camels as a form of transport. Ali wasnt used to this, but very quickly he learned how to ride the beast and continued with his journey smoothly. His platoon consisted of 40 men who didnt look very Malaysian to him. Some fo them were from Malaysia but from different states while the rest were arabians.

Halfway through their journey, they were suddenly ambushed by rebels who were all armed with AK-47s. The sudden attack caused a sudden shock among the men as most of them panicked. Ali watched as some of the men from his platoon got killed by the gun fire. He did what was right and fired back at the rebels. Soon everyone fired back at the rebels, but there were just too many of them and they had to retreat. Ali watched in fear as there were dead bodies about and riderless camels running about. He had no choice but to ride off blindly into the open vast desert. He did not know where the rest of the survivors went but he just carried on running.
Earlier there was an Arabian guide leading the platoon but now Ali had to depend on his instincts to find his way back

He rode alone in the scorching desert and tried recalling his way around the desert. But everywhere looked the same as there was just sand and cactus. He was in a very panicked state as he didnt know what to do and his only company was the camel he rode on. He went about blindly for about 3 days. Depending on the cactus for water and killing little desert critters for food. He was going crazy as the weather was driving crazy and he felt very desolated.

On the second week he was already raving mad. He was cleary malnurished and he didnt have any human contact for 14 solid days. The one thing which he most enjoyed at home was sadly, his sex. He has gone for about 14 days without it and he is getting really desperate. With the feeling of dread, he looked at his camel. "No, no way! I wouldnt ever do that!" But the tought of it kept going through his mind. He was really really desperate so one day he just tried it. He just kept trying to get at the back of the camel. But the camel would run off everytime he tried and he is left on the ground. He was still determined trying to get back on the camel and finally get this over with, how he wish there was something he could tie the camel to.

This went on for about day. Him trying to get on the camel`s back and it just running off leaving him behind. But somehow luck was on his side. All of this "running and chasing" has brought him towards a rural road. There was a really pretty Arabian woman there with car trouble. Ali had to pull the camel towards her direction and asked her what seems to be the problem. Said her car had some trouble starting. Being a very handy person Ali helped to fix her car.

While Ali was fixing her car he would look back at her nervously. Staring at her with lustful eyes. When he was done the girl said. "Thanks for helping me, I am now in your debt. I would do anything for you! Anything!" she said to him with the most seductive look.
Looking at her with the most lustly and nervous look he said " Anything??"
Then she smile back at him with the most seductive look ever " Anything..........." she said slowly
It took awhile for Ali to let it out. He looked at her timidly, and with the most pitiful eyes he said
"Will you hold this damn Camel for me?"

Moral of the Story, Miracles do happen! Just we dont know that its happening right infront of our faces

Ghost Rider

I havent written a single post for the past 10 days so I guess this is the right time. Lately my housemates and I are going through rehabillitation from playing Dota lol. So far we have been doing well relying on other things to do such as playing cards(chor dai ti, yes call me noobie but atleast now i know how to play!), bike riding and of course studying*GASP!!*

Speaking about bike riding Ive been doing it alot lately, it feels great really. When I said bike riding im not talking about riding to campus and back, Im talking about riding around my area exploring different places we didnt usually go using cars. To make things easier I ride around with some of my housemates at night, ranging from about 9:45 to 11:15. Around these times we would be riding out because the temperature is clearly cooler and the traffic is lesser.

At first we rode around my neighbourhood which is a small area, just riding in circles from block to block. Just riding around talking alot of crap and observing the people living in our area. After that we advanced to riding in the neighbouring neighbourhood which is much more vast and the roads are slightly more winding and there are more uphills and downhills. After that, we rode from the neighbouring neighbourhood towards the shop-lots very close to our neighbourhoods. There we have much more space to ride around and we get to observe the small bars and restaurants nearby. The place is dark, some of the shoplots are abandoned and gloomy, and there are many stray dogs wandering around which makes it more thrilling. Currently, we have expanded our route into our campus. Seems like a normal ride to campus but we actually ride inside and around the freaking huge compound. The campus grounds looks very very different at night compared to the day. The place somehows seems bigger and its surroundings are very gloomy. The up-hills there are killer as we had to paddle like crazy to make it to the top but of course it would mean the down-hills are freaking awesome. The wind blowing into my face, the slight drizzle splattering about while dashing down a freaking slope.

Well enough about that, I mainly wanted to talk about what happened about 2 hours ago. The usual route we take in campus would be entering from the back entrance, riding up to the hostel area using the walkway to the SA building then up towards the steep hill towards the sports centre. Usually we would ride to the kapas house which is all the way at the end of the campus but we decided to make a few rounds around the basketball court. There were some people playing in the pitch darkness but we didnt really mind them. They were only using 1/4 of the court while we rode around a few rounds on the smooth court grounds. After that we proceeded to the front of the admin building which was kinda hard because the hill is kinda steep. After that we decided to ride around the path of the lake. Well lets just say the pathway was kinda creepy because there were trees by its side and there was hardly any light so the vision ahead was very bad. At first the path was a straight road and I could roughly see ahead. Then I realised that the path was about to curve in and I couldnt see ahead and It was freaking dark. At the moment I felt really uncomfortable, like I was being watched. There was some weird lapping sound on the lake water like something was there waiting.Immediatly I put on my brakes and told my housemates to turn around. Something really, really didnt feel right. As I was the one leading the way, when we were going out I was the one furthest behind. I was really hoping my housemates would pedal faster because my back is now exposed to whatever that`s there. It was one hell of a creeped out feeling.

After that we rode home and that was that. Im not turned off from riding my bike at night. Infact Im determined to go back there and ride the complete round around the lake when im mentally prepared lol.

Angelic Horns

Nothing much happening this week, same as usual. Classes are of course boring and Im having a really hardtime catching up with maths. Well tonight instead of the usual nerd dota-ing we guys played black jack and I earned 3 bucks from not playing dota lol. I hope all that yelling and screaming didnt get to the neighbours.

Anyways I wanted to talk about helping others. Do you believe that from helping others you will feel good about yourself? Do you think you are doing the person good? Well I grew up being told not to be too helpful to people because its mostly a waste of time and nothing good will come of it. Well I was totally against this and I feel it is really, really bad not to help someone in need. Somehow, helping people has mostly landed me in trouble more than anything else. Im not pissed at anyone at this moment or in a bad mood, I just wanna voice out this point thats all.

There was this one time, in secondary school where I found this wallet on the floor. I looked into the wallet and found out that the owner is a classmate of mine. When I returned it to him, i thought he would be happy that he got it back but I was wrong. He looked into the wallet and found some money missing and accused me of taking it. Whats wrong with these people? Anyway he proceeded to telling his mum who called me that night. She was asking me questions in the most interrogating way which got me nervous. She assumed that because of my trembling voice, that Im guilty. Fine, I dont care, that guy isnt really a good friend of mine but the worse part is when he told my classmates about it which really really screwed me up. Sure I had some friends who backed me up but none the less my reputation got ruined because it got to the other classes. It was just twenty bucks missing, was it really worth it to do that to me? In the end the discipline master knew I was right because a real thief would take the money and dump the wallet. Dude if you remember this and you are reading this. Come find me again, i`ll throw 50 bucks right into your face and you can keep it, thats a promise.

From experience I have always helped many people with stuff and I found out, the more you give , the more they wanna take. This isnt the olden days anymore where helping someone would mean that one day he would return the favor and save you life or something. This is 2008 where many people are manipulative as they are. I didnt say that helping someone is wrong, but when the person keeps asking for more, it gets really annoying and you are doing this for what? A sincere(more like fake) thanks just isnt good enough anymore. Ive seen most of my friends who would just give and give and give. But in the end what do they get from it? They become more like a slave than an angel to the person.

I would again like to stress that Im not angry or something, I just wanna voice this out thats all. Take a look at your friends and the people you roll with. Do you think they are really your goodfriends or just some certain people who use you, manipulate you or just talk to you when they are bored. Yes a person may seem like a sincere friend that talks to you or spend time with you, but when his or her other cronies come along you get chucked aside used socks. Im quite fortunate not to have friends who are like this(hopefully).

Anyways its not only people you know who you should be aware of. There are stories where people who plead for help by the side of the road at night and when the samaritan comes along he gets a knife pointed at his face and his car stolen. There are people who would give an unfortunate person a ride home and get raped. There are people who help young children in need and get their money snatched right under their nose. There are people who finacially help others but in the end get conned of their money. So is it right to be right? I feel sometimes doing something right(good) can go really wrong.

You wanna help the unfortunate? Throw some money in the donation box. Enough said.

7 days

The first week of my 2nd semester is about to end, but alot of stuff kinda happened this week. First of all I didnt have class on monday so I headed off to midvalley with some friends to watch Flight of the Living Dead. The movie really sucks and it isnt that scary, the only part to be scared of is when the zombie pops out of no where and scares you. Everything else was super fake, and the acting sucked to the max. Watch it at your own risk, seriously, risking 6 bucks.

I was quite glad that I am able to adapt rapidly when I got here because the time management at home is waaaay off compared to here. I sleep much later at home while I have to sleep super early here just to get in class. During college days I didnt really have to wake up early because I drive. But here I ride my bicycle so it takes slightly longer but it is good excercise for me. There is of course the issue of food, but I can handle it I guess. The catering isnt exactly that good but it suffices so I cant complain.

Today I finished class at about 12, had lunch with friends at some mamak place in semenyih. After that we headed to campus because some of them wanted to go to the sports complex. But when we were about to park we had some car trouble because somebody banged jess`s car door and smashed his mirror. It was some african guy and we had to reason with him. After some yelling, shouting, reasoning and discussion the guy decided to get his mirror done first before going coming back to us for the money. We had earlier planned to go to sherene`s place but they wanted to play squash so Jess, Stef and William decided to go to my place. We played some cards there before going to sherene`s place in edu square. The place is quite big and it reminded me of the hostel which I used to stay in. According to sherene there are alot of pretty girls there. Ill be the judge of that haha. After that as Jess was about to reverse out we bumped into the african guy again. The cost was only thirty, so Jess gave him 20 because he was partially at fault.

Nothing much happening tomorrow. I was suppose to have morals tomorrow but I got exempted from it because I did the subject before. Home alone....
