A very interesting “intellectual debate between corporate cousin” (as Chris put it) is going on and the debate could be as exciting as their reputations suggest. The debate surrounds Chris’s new book on “Free as a price”; while this could yet be a marketing gimmick put up by two of the most influential thinkers in [...]

Textbooks Wishlist
Posted in Books, Ranting on May 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I was reading Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything” and was thinking I might have chosen to become a scientist/geologist/astromist/you-name-it if I were to read this book back then when I was 15. Just why can’t our “official” textbooks written that way? A little more thoughts on this and I realized there are [...]
Singh is King
Posted in Ranting on March 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One day, a tiger-ish Singh got so annoyed with all sorts of baseless accusations, threats, bullets, street-demonstrating-anger that were thrown against him that he blurted out indignantly “Stop messing around with me, Singh is King!”
A semi-bald, son of somebody thought he ought to make a reply at this poor victim of his doings that he [...]

Read newspaper and you learn something. These few days I read a lot of newspaper so I learned a lot of things. And I think I’ve learn so much so that I am well equipped to give a lecture. And here I go:
Good day everyone. Today I would like to present a lecture [...]
新春
Posted in Ranting on January 31, 2009 | 3 Comments »
新年到，新年到，春花開，春天好！
游子趕回鄉，一家聚一堂，三代齊歡暢！
見面說恭喜，新年歌播放，團圓飯齊嚐！
來，看看我的PSP。。。別神氣，你有DS？我有wii！
唉，收工酒早喝過。。。好好好，別生氣，做給你！
嗯，可今晚年三十。。。好想我？好好好，來見你！
嘿，難得一家團聚。。。三缺一？沒問題，我來替！
撇去親情，撒去傳統禮儀，新春是什么東西？
新春的意義，說說幾句賀語，共享菜肴數席，利是討個吉利。
而已。
迷失
Posted in Ranting on January 31, 2009 | 1 Comment »
迷惑，則遺失自我。
沉迷，則淪失意志。
迷路，則失去方向。
你迷惑了我，我沉迷于你，在人生交叉口迷了路。
遺失了自我，淪失了意志，失去了方向。
迷失迷失，迷為因，失為果。
不迷，失則不靈也。
啊！
我逃離了你，遠離了迷！
找回了自我，重拾了意志，撿回了方向。
卻，迷失了你。
另一個世界

問我，為什么總愛躲在家里？
問我，為什么逃避社交禮儀？
問我，為什么偏愛獨來獨去？
問我，為什么事事毫不起勁？
問我，為什么鐘愛考古史記？
問我，為什么埋頭書香詩句？
我問，一切的一切有何意義？
我答，你為金錢權力；我為生存意義。
生存，自古定義意義；平凡相對奇跡。
平凡，無法呼風喚雨；茍且探索生命。
生命，源自過去。
過去，未來的借鏡，擊碎后倒地；剩余，人性。
人性，戰爭的主因；和平，戰爭的目的；戰爭之后的和平之后的是更多戰役。
金錢，奮斗的主因；權力，社交的目的；金錢權力的背后殘留被遺棄的人性。
平凡，活在邊隙，意圖突圍化身那六億分之一，把世界握在手里；換來，狂泣。
奇人，蓋被逃避，佯裝躲起融入那六億人海里，把大千推往夢里；自覺，狂喜。
我說，平凡，無法呼風喚雨，無意活在邊隙，茍且蓋被逃避。
我想，奇人，無意呼風喚雨，無法佯裝躲起，倒不活在邊隙。
我答，平凡，是我。
平凡，是你。
奇人，不在這里。
可這世界不能沒有你，因為，你主導著，人性。
我渴求這世界遺忘你，因為，你主導著，邏輯。
或許在另一個世界。
或許在另一個世紀。
平凡，所以我躲在家里。
平凡，所以我逃避。
平凡，所以我活在過去。
平凡，所以我沉迷林夕。

Drained
Posted in Ranting on September 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Well, I promised myself to write more often when I started this blog, although I did but not on this space that is. Writing academic reports and essays in length of 2000-3000 words every 2-3 weeks for the past few months had drained me mentally, not to mention the amount of hectic researches (20-30 academic [...]
Malaysians and Books
Posted in Ranting on May 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Do Malaysians read? I remembered vaguely I read somewhere sometime ago that an average Malaysian read less than a book a year. I’m not sure if that study considered magazines and fictions in the list of “books” that Malaysians read (should blogs be counted?), but if the truth is the contrary, something is very very [...]
