SCW've

I should've studied hard and be an astronaut
I could've become an athlete if I were to trained hard
I would've been a millionaire if I didn't waste my youth

I should've played my guitar loudly and be a rock star
I could've become a scientist if I didn't skip school
I would've been abroad if I didn't have this rope that tie me

I should've concentrated on drawing and be an artist
I could've created my own comic if I were diligent enough
I would've been somewhere else but here

Should've, could've, would've....
Let's stop for a while
Take a deep breathe
Take a look around

All those Should've, could've, would've are just dreams
Dreams that never made it to reality
Why should I dream for the realty is right in front of me

I would'nt trade this life for any other kind
I love it
Though it is far from perfect
I am living my dream

Right here
right now

Barren place

• I started blogging in 2007. Hence, this is my 7th year administering this blog.
• In 2007, blog was the talk of the town. Everybody owned at least a blog. People would write anything from current issues to what type of underwear they love.
• Honestly, like many, I started blogging because it was cool. Looking back at my early entries, it is all just me mixing words and my limited world view. It was fun though.
• Fast forward to 2014, blog is not so popular anymore. Many other website or application has taken over blog's place at the helm of social media. 
• I am still here though. The only reason is that, occasionally I want to write. I want to practice my writing.
• Here I feel free to write and mumble anything and everything. Compared to the 'crowded' Facebook, I found peace here in my own personal space.
• It is frustrating to see my friends and bloggers stop to write. One by one they abandon their blogs. All it is now just a reflection of their past life.
• Even more eerie is that some of the blog has turned into 'soft-porn-penis-enlargement' blog'. I am sure these blogs have been hacked and infected by malware or viruses, pity them.
• For now I would still write in my blog occasionally.
• How long would I blog is another question that I do not have the answer yet. 

Cheras

Cheras,
A city so big, it stretches from Selangor to Kuala Lumpur

This is where I learned to live,
A place of laughter, tears, rewards and punishment.

My eyes are wide open, to see this beautiful city,
It is the same city physically, but somehow its soul has changed.

Cheras,
It's great to see you
Keep on blooming,
My dear city.

Haze

• Haze is the pollution of dust particle in the air. For the record, it is my own definition of haze.
• It brings a lot of trouble. Among other, haze-related-illness, low vision sight and disturbance of daily chores/activities/business.
• I also have been affected by this widespread haze. I found that at times, I have difficulty in breathing. Plus my throat fells itchy.
• So far, nothing major is done to curb this annual problem. All I can see is the price hike of face mask. We can blame the opportunist. 
• Maybe this annual 'festival' is not a major concern in the authority to-do-list.It happens almost every year. It is somewhat has become a must in Malaysian calendar.
• People has started to play the blame-game. Politicians, blogger, accountant, clerk even makcik kantin has their own version of 'whose to blame for the haze anyway?'. 
• As long as there is no casualty, we will be ok. It is in line with our unofficial tagline - Malaysia Boleh! 
• Bolehlah...
