As usual, while catching up with CNN news I signed in to my MSN. An old friend came to greet me. We had a long and nice chat. Suddenly, she asked about my personal life regarding about my relationship matter. I stated that i am still "single but not available" (cos' my mind was oredi engaged with someone). Then she started with "want me to introduce a leng chai (handsome lad in chinese) to you?" so i told her "hey, sorry la i am not into that" come on, i hate when peoples told me that. Once my aunts told me that they're going to introduce a "nice guy" to me. At that time i was on my way to smash the table..Oh sh!t
Ok back to the ignorant gal, "really don't want meh leng chai lo, my bf's friend" and i replied "not interested k?" "i know la, u prefer an english educated background guy is it? i very hate the Bananas lo (banana is the way we describe those english educated background people), they are so open minded, can touch here touch there with any gals and after that they are goin to end up with you on the bed!" DAMN IRRITATING when i saw the sentences.."what made you think like these huh? are you prejudice against those english edu's? what's wrong with an english educated background guy? this is not the right way to judge and also you can't presume every english educated person is same." And she goes by "you said only ma, maybe you already in love with one of them ma, that's why you're blind, you see his everthing as good" "ok, i am not interested with your leng chai k? and i dont want to pick up any arguement with you. For your info, i need someone who has same thinking with me. I can't simply look for AH BENG type guy k?" "oh you're pissing down on people. My bf is only a farmer but i really love him, education background is not a barriers for love"
My anger rose even more when i heard she told me that..123 ok calm down Ee Lyn, i told myself. No point to argue with such an ignorant gal. "i think one day u'll lose yourself ee lyn if u're hard headed" she can't simply made a judgement without seeing and understanding me... maybe i should say that we have different thinking. For me, i prefer someone who understand me and could share my problem with him. Mutually acceptable and understanding is crucial in relationship. And don't tell me that any typical Ah Beng could clarify and understand what a graduate student think and what's her demand. Somehow i am so stress enough recently and don't try to make me mad...
Her words are not going to bring me down and i understand myself more than anyone..i could define and evaluate the good, the ugly and the bad. It doesn't matter i am single now cos' i was blessed with 95 % of courages and being able to stand with my own foot. I am bless with a loving mum who always want the best for me and some dearest friends who'll always be there for me. At last for "you" out there, i just want to say "glad that u're around me, always :)"

Are we able to do that?
I read this just now and it is really irritating:
Non-Malay PM is possible but not multiracial party, says Dr M
By Adib Zalkapli
PUTRAJAYA, Nov 12 - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today it is possible for anyone including the non-Malays to be the Prime Minister, but he warned against harping on the issue of having a non-Malay PM because that would itself be racist.
"When you talk about a non-Malay PM, you are being racist, because you shouldn't ask the question whether a Malay or non-Malay can be PM. Here everyone can become Prime Minister, but he must be a leader of the majority party," said Mahathir after delivering a keynote address entitled Bangsa Malaysia at the Perdana Leadership Foundation here.
He claimed that the situation in Malaysia was different from that of Singapore.
"It's very clear when (Singapore Prime Minister, Lee) Hsien Loong said non-Chinese cannot be the PM, they are very open, of course we say one thing, we do another thing," said Mahathir.
However he said Malaysia is not ready to have a truly multiracial political party.
"It doesn't work, every multiracial party is dominated by one race, like Gerakan and DAP. Even PAP in Singapore is not multiracial," said Mahathir.
He added even the opposition parties have failed to prove they are multiracial despite their repeated claims that racial politics has ended.
He said that the failure during his administration to unite vernacular and national schools under one roof is evidence that the people are not ready to be united.
On the imminent economic crisis Mahathir said the problem can only be solved with international cooperation.
"I can assure this is very difficult to handle. I have no confidence in Obama, what about Najib. This is too big for Obama and Najib. We need to change the system, to change the system, we need international cooperation," said Mahathir.
He said that the present system is open to all kinds of abuses.
"You have to have a system that is more solid, based on something that is more tangible. All currencies of the world were pegged to gold. But when the US decided to go off the gold, that is when things go out of control, because you can print any amount of money without any backing," said Mahathir.
Ok, let me have some words here...he is kind of prejudice against the "non Malay" issue. Malaysia doesn't specify that we need a non-Malay PM, as long as he/she is capable and we the "rakyat" have our rights to choose, that's a part of seeking consensus too. Come on, why don't he just silent and observes what might happen next. After 51 years of independent, it's time for transitions. There's no doubt that why our country still under competent level...

Passionately fond of title
Recently, i just loan an interesting book from my school's library and I am totally fall in love with it. Oh my, i just can't get it out of my hands, i hug it to sleep everynight. The name of the book is "Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA" and it was a non-fiction. This book describes how a country with the title of "superpower" has failed to create a first rate spy agency. The chapter which i like to most was chapter 3: Lost Causes which describes the CIA under Kennedy and Johnson during the middle of the Cold War. Well, thanks to Tom Weiner on his masterpiece (after Black Hawk Down). Now, i could add another extra knowledge as a prelude to generate my "think tank".
