Musings of life. Is it mine or yours?

Finally I’m back to my blogging posts again. I’ve finally graduated, took part in the graduation ceremony (and hell, I had to cut short my trip to Vietnam just because of my graduation, and that shucks!). What’s going on with my life now? Hmmm…

In fact, I was offered a job as a staff nurse in Singapore months ago, right after my professional exam, and I’ve accepted it. And, it’s not really soon that I’m going to leave Malaysia for Singapore, lots of things to do, especially my nursing license and employment permit. Praise to the Lord, I got what I want to do, well, Singapore is a good jumpstart for my career after all!

Just too many dramas and hot topics as soon as I got back from Vietnam, yes, only in Malaysia. Just tonnes of it, you name, I’ve read it. I’m rather concerned, in fact, for some of these issues. Too bad, the Deputy Prime Minister said the decision is final on reverting the English in Science and Maths back to Bahasa Malaysia starting next year. We can’t do much, just bear with it then. After all, This Is Malaysia. At the end of the day, our students, our children will suffer from all these political fracas. Sigh, I really hope that one day, these politicians just lay their hands off our education system.

Current hot topic, what’s the relation between Elton John and Seksualiti Merdeka? Simple. Elton John is going to have a concert in Malaysia, and he’s GAY. Seksualiti Merdeka talks about awareness and rights for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and  Transsexuals (GLBT). Hmmm, reminds me of my research thesis I wrote for my final year, and for your information, I’m in the midst of preparing my draft to publish my research findings in the coming nursing journal, and also other journals too. What’s going on with GLBTs in Malaysia? Apparently, the Police have officially banned Seksualiti Merdeka’s event started few days ago (sort of like a festival for GLBTs) on the ground that they are promoting and encouraging ‘yellow culture’ (Budaya Kuning). Erm, hello? Are you sure? PAS, UMNO, Perkasa and number of Muslim organisations have voiced their concerns and echoed the call to stop such activities. If I’m not wrong, I heard that the IGP mentioned that it’s a crime to be GLBT in Malaysia. In that case, just catch all GLBTs and throw them to jail? Come on, which law states that?

I don’t get it, God taught us to love one another. Who are we to judge others? I stopped reading all sorts of ‘defensive’ reports against Seksualiti Merdeka, sounded so much like ‘Defense Againsts the Dark GLBTs’. I stopped awhile, and sighed. What’s wrong with the world today? We’ve lost our marbles I think.

Oh well, I did my part, I spoke up. Now, I need some sleep, maybe a glass of whisky and cigar to chill during my weekend. Ttyls!
