I was watching snippets of the Grammies(between flipping to Evening on HBO and my brother squealing "What's on 555?? Come on, you said you wanted to watch the Grammies, this isn't the Grammiieeesss".

Isn't it great Adele won for best new artist? Isn't it a bit of a joke that The Jonas Brothers were nominated for same category? Isn't the Grammies a bit of a joke?

Anyway, it was Thaipusam yesterday, and I almost didn't realize it were it not for the small, page-ntah-ke-berapa feature on yesterday's papers. I'm pretty sure it would have gotten the usual page 2 or center spread special were it not for everything that's been happening in Perak. I was reading Aijud's latest post and I'm sure that sums up what a lot of people feel in regards to the topic pretty accurately as well.

In concern with everything that's happening there, I am wary to actually take a stance and openly agree and condone one party while disagreeing with the other. Nothing's ever black and white is it, it's just this blanket of gray with people on both sides wholly believing that they're in the right. So I echo Aijud's sentiments and say it makes me all annoyed and sighing and furious.

If anything, I feel sorry for that Jelapang MP's family. Even though the papers haven't verified it, there are rumors that say they're facing criticism from the public, even so far as the market refusing to sell vegetables to them. If that's true, I truly feel sorry that they're bearing the brunt of it all.

Defections? I read in the paper that while there are no anti-defection laws in the UK, they are rare and only happen in certain circumstances like when a member left the Labour Party in protest to their stance on a war(was it Iraqi or Afghanistan, tak ingat). Comparing that to the defections here, we just seem a bit lame, tak?

Well, what does my opinion matter anyway.

I'm off for a couple weeks, I wish you all well. Stay clear of forest fires, please(shoots dagger eyes at Kelly, Azrieal, Shao, Aina).

p/s: Thank your for the tag Firdaus! I like tags, whee(I know I keep saying this every time I get tagged and it's stupid, but it's my way of saying thank you). I'll do it once I get back, so I'll start thinking of the things to write starting now,heh.
