Ala.... mati memang one day pun mati. Nasib mah......

Dec 2007 - Kemaman

Driver : Dulu i penah bawak itu director Khidmat Negara. Dia datang sehari nak tengok kem tu kat Cherating.

Ben : Ye ke? hari tu ade budak NS demam sampai mati. Suruh dia bikin betul la.

Driver : Memang... aku tanya dia, kenape banyak budak mati pasal medical issue semua... Dia kata; ala.... u worry apasal? budak duduk rumah pun boleh mati, sini NS seorang mati out of 100 000, nak bising banyak. Kalau dah memang sakit teruk, mati la. God's hand mah. Ala... mati pun memang one day pun mati. Nasib memang nasib.... tak b'leh buat ape ape.

Look, when will the freaking government ever understand that this National Service rubbish is really wasting everybody's time? Firstly, what kinda stupid mentality the director has? Instead of striving to obtain perfect safety and health and zero fatality, he's giving allowance for trainees to die.

Its always the same incident. Lack of proper medical attention. Nobody ever dies of constipation, no normal person would send a sick guy to hospital only after one week of high fever. Only in NS? No parents wanna send their kid to a camp only to get back their dead body.

It could happen to you. If you and your parents dont speak up, it'll happen again, intake after intake. It's always the same mentality.... tidak apa.... takdir tuhan... seorang saja yang mati. Biasa la. Another 18 year old gone..............

The greatest game ever....

Everything has pretty much settled down to a more quiet tone, nothing much going on, things couldn't been better, and now all i worry is that everything would get so much so mundane here. There alot of other things i should be blogging about but it'll come a point in time where it'll be even more appropriate and effective, here are some pictures of my last week's golfing trip to fill in for the moment, at least thats all i can think of for now. Whilst I struggle to find the song i wanted to attach here, got me thinking again.... perhaps i should blog more about consequential life rather than things like these. Anyway.... here they are, enjoy the pictures!




Didn't manage to capture many nice shots cause we cant really wander off from the game..



Me teeing off



Jimmy...



more shots



Ducks... there was more wildlife there but didnt manage to take shots of it.

For some of you who thinks that golf is a pretty dumb game, which i did last time, you should watch this movie. very interesting and its amazing how can the producers make a golf game that interesting. go watch! i love that show!
