khutbah

this is not a preach. i'm sharing.

i was on my way home from work the other day, i was tuning in to klasik nasional and the khutbah maghrib was on... one interesting point was how choosing a leader in islam should be. i mean the way it was, apparently, not a leader who wants to be a leader and not someone who sells himself as a leader neither.

which means. which means what? which means... most if not all "undilah saya" politicians in malaysia... void. thats right. void. so how then. in a democracy where voting is a vital mechanism, how do we choose a leader?

simple i think. choose ideas. not people. choose work. not people.

bolero itu bukan karya mental

If the future is made from what we did in the past and what we are doing at present, then living your past glory means your future will be only twice your past. Let me show the idea algebraically, let m equals future, x equals past and y equals present, if y equals x, than m = 2x. But what is the meaning of that? Twice ur past. I don't know. Anyhow sempena hari raya aji ini, biarlah saya mendeklamasikan sebuah sajak. Here goes... "Don't trust the arabs." Sekian thank you.

sudah sudah la tu.

dear risk-free entities...

i think we learn more from insults rather than compliments. from suffering rather than happiness. from negatives rather than positives.

i think facts are facts and you can't make it disappear on account of your likes and that's a fact. and if you live life based on a framework of facts, you rarely get excited... but you'll move ahead at high velocity. velocity is very important... if your life is a convex graph... the velocity decides convexity. convex is better than straight linear. straight linear is dull.

i think everything is relative... in essence, if you feel good about yourself, it only shows the size of your relativity to the world... and usually the smaller it is, the easier you could show it. but the bigger it is, the harder you could hide it... i think its better being discovered than to show. because to show is vulgar.

i think intelligence is much vulgar than wealth. intelligence is the last line of defence before religion. its like when everything else fails such as, looks, muscles, wealth... popularity, you go back to intelligence. its vulgar and its weak.

and i think i'd rather be a dickhead, rotten to the core, hated... than forgettable. and i think to have an effect on the space i am living in is far superior than being comfortable, happy and safe. which in a way means i'd rather be a failure than practical. broke than just average.

so.

enough about what i think. tell me what's on your mind.
