A flotilla of aid ships left a port in Cyprus on Sunday afternoon bound for the Gaza Strip.
A total of six ships were expected to set sail carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists destined for Gaza in defiance of an Israeli embargo on the Palestinian territory.
The flotilla from Turkey, the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Greece, Kuwait and Algeria is carrying roughly 10,000 tonnes of aid, including cement, water-purification systems and wheelchairs.
Al Jazeera’s Jamal El-shayyal spent 24 hours on board the Mavi Marmara – the lead ship in the Freedom Flotilla.
In this video blog, he looks at what is on board and how the 600 passengers are coping with what is already proving to be a difficult mission. (30 May 2010)

Sometime ago, I met a character named Mike at one of Jennie’s small dinner gatherings and we got along dandily, a word I suspect he’ll object. Yesterday someone observed my acquaintance with him and made note of that. To which he replied, in true fashion,
Zain, as you know, is a promiscuous little whore. Even clean-living fellows such as me have wound up holding hands with him, trying to steal kisses when JAKIM stooges aren’t looking.

On 13 May 2010, I went to listen to Anas Zubedy talk on 13 May 1969 incident. Throughout, I was updating live whatever he was saying on Facebook and Twitter. Because I can’t be buggered to rearrange the text, you must scroll all the way down and read the compiled updates in an ascending fashion.

Hilarious. At the same time I’m interested to see how this, an issue and a movement as a whole, grow as well as it’s ripple effect on other areas and industries.
Thanks Kat Rahmat for bring this to my attention. :)

After seeing this amazing video on Monday morning, I messaged si Niki Cheong on gmail chat.
me: Hey . U know, even Alicia Keys can’t be bothered to wear a racer-back bra with a black tank top for her performance. No wonder all the other girls dont look like theyre gonna stop doing that soon.
Niki: lol that was random

Some things, you should never do, no matter how stylish or classy you might think it comes off as. See attached image.

A few days ago, Kelly Clarkson tweeted as you see above. I quoted her on Facebook and Twitter. The tone of the reaction received was primarily that Kelly was either a ditz, ignorant or insulting, albeit what she said was a compliment.
Now to be fair, I do understand the knee-jerk and even post-knee-jerk reaction that people feel that way. It is not uncommon for people from developed countries to assume we don’t have certain elements of civilization that they have.
However, to be fair too, I draw a few things from the prime action, and the reaction it generated.
1. We are insecure and as a resul fall into the trap of immediately assuming an insult by reacting as such, when such a statement is made. The reaction, validates the insecurity. If not that, then its an over-compensation of being defensive.
2. It says quite a bit about Malaysia’s tourism marketing. However, this might not be an accurate conclusion, somewhat related nevertheless. For example, if I am not mistaken, the Singapore government paid USD 5 million to The Pirates of the Caribbean, so that its name would be mentioned three times in the movie. Note that this practice is not exclusive to Singapore, or governments.
3. It was our assumption (an unclever one) that well known international food and beverage brands by default exist in any country that is sufficiently developed, when in fact the two do not necessarily go hand in hand. Singapore is a first world country, with a literacy and unemployment rate far better than Malaysia. Yet, Nando’s opened first in Malaysia in 1998, and only after 33 outlets here, in mid-2010 it will finally open one in Singapore. This is something Singaporeans I know have been whining about. Additionally, they have never once attributed the degree of development of their country as a factor as to why certain things aren’t available there.
*I often use Singapore as an example as it is the next country I am most familiar with, after Malaysia.
.
Besides now telling all to chill out, I’m also putting forth something that I believe is more imperative. And that is identifying the cause and reasoning of any issue, accurately. It’s always convenient, and relieving to point a gun and shoot. But it’ll be a shame if energy is wasted shooting blanks.

My cousin who was holding his asleep one week old son, asked my three year old nephew, ‘why does my son close his eyes?’
‘Because he don’t want see your face.’
