I know I know
It’s been a while
But hey. I’ve been busy with things here and there.
So yeah
I’m just going to update you guys with the things that have been happening in my life.
Briefly.

I’ve become a book addict. Yes. Spending hundreds of ringgit on good books is a must every month.

I’m currently reading Tobias Wolff’s Old School and after that maybe Tun Dr Ismail after Che Mie is done with it. Heheheh

I’ve been helping my friend Azreezal Hafidz of GLAM with his new GLAM Deko. I’ll keep you all updated on that.

And what else…

Something I wrote a few weeks back but didn’t have the time and energy to continue and finish it


I was shocked, stunned, I must say when I read the news.
Huge pictures of the house being torn down.

Heartless, I must say.

Shall we take a break and do nothing and think about our sad, sad state of denial.
We don’t like eh, to talk about our colonial past. Why ah?
Tak best ke kalau we talk about the people that has help us, even sikit pun?
Do we have to destroy everything that will remind us of them ke?

Thank god for Penang.

I’m sure some of the people who make decision for this matter have been to places like St Petersburg, and Paris and paling koman pun Singapore rite?

I love the Fullerton post house. Don’t you? The portico and the beautiful pillars in front of the Padang.

Kalau Russia plak, the beautiful, beautiful Hermitage. Cantik kan? The green (I think) horizontal beauty reflected in the calm Neva River. Best kan?

These building reflected the past of these cities or nations. The thing that made them what they are today. The colonials and the Tsars.

You can’t do a tabula rasa and deny the fact that the British were once here. You take that away, and you can very well say goodbye to education system, British graduates in the early years, MCKK (tsk, tsk), dan banyak lagi. Erasing the physical structure of ones past is one of the ways to make people forget. And to deny, future generations of the true nation.

Mengarut eh?

Ntah lah.

Not seeing it there makes me sad.

I asked Elizabeth Cardosa back when I was in college about the fate of the Bok House and the Majestic Hotel (I think). Back then she gave me an assurance that a certain company has promised to preserve and conserve these two grand dames. But I guess it's time to say goodbye eh.

I guess it's the end of an era.

Ok
So now I have to go back to doing my work.
Later
Anything just talk to me at rizalauzritz (yahoo messenger)
