This is an old song by Rachael Lampa, I started listening to old stuff again. Probably to try and regain that old passion for great music that had great meaning... This song never fails to lift my spirits up again when I feel down or when I'm about to give up... Thanks to Josh Yeoh for introducing his favourite artist years ago...

Today's paper was screwed. PA (pengajian am) was much more difficult than expected. Whatever I did not bother to study seemed to be the majority of this morning's questions...
Well, I confess little motivation to press on - God help me.
Sometimes it's not very fun thinking too much. Real questions like what is the meaning/benefit of excellence in exam have to creep up just before a major exam that you know has much influence on the course/direction of your life. I want to do well and not be philosophical about it for now... but I can't seem to escape the questions of reality.

Did Jesus teach total absolutes? Am I at fault with my thinking? Are there different kinds of logic from what I learn at school? Does limited ability to know limits one's potential? If one is absolutely true, is the other definitely wrong? (Referring to "Know the truth and you shall be free")

You probably must be thinking. "Judson, stop thinking so much, and do have some fun in life". And you're probably right. I think it's the lack of a great communal fun/social life that has got me into such thinking... (notice I said "I think") I really miss the simple times when simple things were such great fun.

I miss watching and learning from people who were better... nowadays we only learn concepts and theories and barely have the chance to watch great people do great things.

Theology. Is it a dry rigid form of study? Most of my peers think so... They believe it's significance is reserved for the academics. Is that true?
God, how shall we live, if not through understanding? Wait, maybe it's faith... but is faith without understanding? What is faith?

I guess most of you know that there has been an ongoing riot in Kuala Lumpur. HINDRAF (Hindu Rights Action Force) have been attempting to present their petition on the plights of the Indians in Malaysia.

Anyway, point of this entry is... I've been hearing/reading a lot of comments that have just brush aside or even criticize the plea of this ethic group.

My fellow bloggers and friends,
I believe we have been fooled or misled to think that the Indians are too free or are just wild hooligans fighting for nothing. Do we not have minds that have the capability of seeing beyond what our controlled media tells us? Do we not have the heart to hear the cries of our fellow men? Or are we ignorant... happy living our comfortable lives, avoiding any justice that might tamper with it?

Truth is our Indian brothers and sisters were only attempting peaceful demonstrations. And only to let those in power know the situation they are in. We chinese are blessed, or in other terms... pampered. We hold a large share in the country's economy, while the Indians have been sidelined and marginalize. Other than the orang asli, the Indians have a very high rate of poverty. The Indian political parties in government have done nothing but to feed their bloody fat stomachs.

You probably won't read this in the newspapers (our country controls the media). Do not be fooled. Our government is not as innocent as it claims to be. It is in truth VERY corrupt.

I think the cries of the Indian community in Malaysia are justified. Let us not be ignorant and instead, lets always seek truth and justice. If love is an important virtue of Christianity - this better not be the time to hide the lamp.
