A Brick Wall for Us

"Excuse me mam, I had just moved here a few months ago… I heard that this is a crime-prone neighbourhood…"

"Yes, it is… but there will always be some policemen patrolling the area at night…"

"Oh.. I see… I still think it’s a shame… it’s such a beautiful place… but you can’t really feel secure here…"

"No.. not really… there is a way to it… come closer, I’ll tell you the secret… You must build a wall… a strong and sturdy wall around your house…"

"Really? Can I get people to build the wall for me?"

"No… don’t… you should never trust anyone in building that wall… no one is trustworthy enough for the job… the builder you hired, could be the one who will break into your house."

"How do I build it then?"

"With your own bare hands… brick by brick… but remember it should be strong enough to protect your property… high enough, so that no one can trespass it… but transparent enough so that you will not lose touch with the reality…"

"Wow.. that sounds pretty challenging…"

"There is another way actually…"

"and that is?"

"Move out of here."

:: I had just got here, and I'm loving this place... you ain't kicking me out of here, mam... i'll do whatever it takes... i'll build the wall brick by brick, besides... I plan to live here till my very last breath ::

Transition

Sometimes I wonder if I would still blog after I go back for good since it always turns out that I don’t really blog whenever I return to Malaysia. I’m back in Melbourne again. Despite everything I said about this place. I'm always thankful that I’m studying here. 8 hours is long enough, can’t imagine going further. Let alone going back during a short winter break like I just did. Haha… However, regardless how good Melbourne is, coming back here is never easy. It is not the place, it’s the transition. Travelling is tiring. Yes, like yesterday, I had to take two flights, one from Penang to KL, then KL to Melb, it is a lot more tiring for someone like me who could barely sleep in a plane. That’s why I enjoy traveling during the day and taking a window seat. I enjoy day dreaming while staring at those fluffy white clouds. Haha.. Weather change changes everything. I had never went back during winter before. So that was my first time experiencing an abrupt change from a

Yummy!

Second post for today… haha.. pulun…. But this time around, I seriously have a thing to share…. Weeee~…. I had just discovered how to enjoy McFlurry in style… yeah, I know… perhaps, it’s nothing to be proud of… but who cares… muahahaa… (kak sarah mesti tension) I don’t know how long I haven’t had McFlurry…and this evening, due to the extreme heat… it appeared to be the most delightful treat…so I had one, shared with my dearest Kak Sarah… but the moment I grabbed the cup, I noticed that it has quite a unique spoon… (I know, it’s been like that since it first appeared in the market, tp nak buat perak juga!) I wonder why the spoon was designed to have a fat hollow squared handle… Was it meant for easy grip? Or was it just purely aesthetic? Anyway… unconsciously(?) I slotted my index finger into the hollow handle… the spoon hence appeared like an extension of my finger… hahaa… and I continued eating the ice cream… Oh! It tasted better! Heee… Org jari besar tak boleh buat… haha… It’s

Well, 2 posts in a day... the reason is.. well, no particular reason, my previous post was on the world current issue and this is on my current issue.. it's a warm summer night which restrains me from shutting the window and makes the free melody from the jazz club next door sounds louder than ever... I was really trying to do my tech assignment, trying to figure out the structure and bla..bla..bla.. but sticking my brain on that for the whole day really exhausts me...so, i decide to write a post... Last night, i had a chat with a friend, Malaysian Chinese who is a christian, well, i consider him as a religious christian as he himself proclaimed that he is religious. Anyway, religious or not, that wasn't my main concern.. But, what was really provoking is that he proudly announced that he loves Israel. I know, everyone has own right to side in any side he prefers. But, for him who is, I suppose should be able to see right from wrong, shall be able to tell who is the villain and
