Finally the basketball court is ready

After weeks of waiting, we finally have our basketball in USJ 20 court back. All looks nice and wonderful. Shot a couple of balls this morning and monday will be the start our games again! Thank you MPSJ!

I guess we would not mind that the court is not smooth, the hoops rattles and the size of the court seems somewhat different. Afterall, we are not playing NBA playoffs.

Looking forward to Monday morning.

Do we see opportunities?

It really pains me to read about and watch the whole episode of "cow-head protest". It pains me because after 52 years of independence we seem to be moving backwords. I have read that our nation's founding fathers took great effort to build and to ensure unity amongst Malaysians. With whatever contact or negotiated terms, they had all agree to move forward together as one nation.

I grew up with friends of all races, different cultural background and different religious beliefs and we accepted each other for who we are - we did not have to tolerate - we were sensitive and appreciative of each other. I am sure many of us share this exprience that makes our country such a wonderful place to live in. It pains that my children had to see that and that doubt may arise if I they is the country for them.

It pains me even more especially when I know that our children may have to grow up in an environment of hatred, anger and intolerance. I know that if we continue to speak up and act with kindness and compassion thingswill change. I wonder if our children will have the opportunity to people rise above these murly issues of social relationship to see real social maturity. If the answer is yes, then it will be a golden opportunity for us and especially our children to experience transformation our society.

Where will we head to, do we see opportunities?

I pray we do!

Let's us rise above as Malaysians and let good sense and social maturity prevails.

While we are still in the Merdeka month, Happy Merdeka!

Is there another disease?

I wonder if anyone noticed this or is this just me. I noticed from news articles, almost all the victims who dies in relation to the H1N1 influenza had visited the doctor/hospital before their death. In some cases, it took 2 - 3 visits to the doctor before it was confirmed it was H1N1. During that time, the doctor gave no quarantine instructions, some still move around shopping centers- without masks.

I know of a friend who passed away recently - a young mother. She leaves behind a 5 year old child. We knew her daughter had been sick and after that was her turn. We also knew that she had been to the doctors - more than once. We saw her just 2 weeks before that- healthy and bright.

Last week a relative went to the to the doctor's twice with flu symptoms. No test were done. With fever and cough, she continues to go about with her live, including going to public places. We really hope she will be fine and it is just a normal flu.

I wonder if there is another diseaseof the non-virual type we need to treat.

Can we rise above....

Can we raise about the common hatred and anger? Can we rise above our egos and our insecurities? Can we rise above ourselves?

When we rise above ourselves we will find that we are all on the same planet, going through similar challenges in life. SO why fight?

We have sent Malaysian into space and achieved great things. Yet many a times, we allow our emotions and desires govern us. We let our quest for power and materials things make us look so petty and at times (more often, these times) really stupid.

We need to raise above all these to resolve issues and challenges we face as the society, a nation.

This is my wish for Merdeka 2009.
