Saturday 9 January 2009.
There’s a gathering at 12 noon.
In front of Maybank Jln Bukit Bintang.
Bring flowers to give away to strangers. Cheap ones expensive ones, doesn’t matter.
Open to anyone and everyone. Facebook event page here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=274950982008
Now’s the time when smiles are needed, if you get what I mean.
Please spread. Tell people you know. Take the link of this blogpost and put it on your Facebook status. Whatever.
More importantly, you, yes you, do come okay? :)

*I got the invitation for this by Chi Too, who started the group Main Dengan Rakyat. They organise monthly events in public spaces. I went to their inaugral one called Main Kejar-Kejar Dengan Rakyat. Click here to read about it and see pics.

About ten hours ago, a church in KL was partially torched. A similar attempt was made at another in PJ. At this moment in time, although there’s quite an assumption, no one really knows who did it. Another strong and reasonable assumption would be that this has something to do with the December 31st High Court ruling on the usage of ‘Allah’ of the bibles in Malaysia.
A great number of people are condemning the act of arson, as I. Christians, non-Christians. Muslims, non-Muslims. Part of it, because this is a violation of freedom of religion, to attack of place worship.
I won’t repeat what everyone is saying. But as a Muslim, I say to Muslims who head out to condemn the attacks on Muslims in Gaza by non-Muslims, on humanitarian grounds (and not merely emotional whim), or highlighting that basis, should at least sufficiently acknowledge (albeit that a subjective and relative measure), the attacks by Muslims against non-Muslims in Darfur.

I just read this brilliant piece Noam Sheizaf (whom I now follow on twitter, and writes at the blog Promised Land) on American Jews. Got it via ibn Ezra via twitter then their blog. To be fair, I don’t think I read enough on this issue to give a fair comment, but it was an enlightening enough for me.
.
“As I said, this whole approach never seizes to puzzle me. I was always fascinated by American history and culture – to the point of obsession – and I admire the role Jews played in it. But something in the current Jewish politics and ideas regarding Israel don’t fit the long tradition of fighting for civil liberties, freedom and tolerance by this community, both at home and around the world..More than ever, I wonder what role this naïve image of Israel – almost an abstract Israel, which has nothing to do with the actual Middle Eastern country – plays in the way Jews see themselves, and how are they going to look back on it ten or twenty years from now.”.

This is one of my many favourites. I've been planning to put a print/replica in my home. But during lunch yesterday, my girlfriend said it's no good. Too bad, it's COD and no refund. :)

Recently someone I know bought a car. To have a specific registration number (plate), she paid a little more. Her mother did the same, except paid ten times more to get the number she wanted. Her daughter shook her head in awe which prompted her mother to say,
jangan geleng-geleng kalau kau tak mampu.
