14 months in a person's life is not a very long time duration, for a 22 yo chap like me, 14 months is just approximately 5% of my life time up till now. But 14 months ago, it was a critical period in my lifetime as my grandmother who had look after me since I was young passed away due to cardiac failure and at that time I was planning to go to Sabah with Fu Shen, Chee Fai, Edwin and the rest.
My grandmother followed her husband come to Malaysia during the British colonization period as a merchant and settled down south of Peninsular in Muar. I still remember I did not even cry during her funeral although my heart was sliced into pieces thinking the one that cares me and loves me will not be ever present again when I go back to Muar the next time. Just like Hiyawu mentioned in one of his book: The coffee shop in the 6th street I got no more excuses to go to Muar anymore.

Malaysia: Tanah Tumpah Darahku
I found out that Malaysia is such an adorable country in these few years. From the video chaos by Wong Chee Meng, video chaos of Dr. Chua to the political crisis in 3rd March 2008 n the recent Penang racial statement, yet we still leave under 1 roof happilly (juz a skin depth to show the foreigners tat Malaysian is a muhibah country).
During the by-election in Permatang Pauh, Penang, I was amazed by how Anwar Ibrahim convey his msg to the public in his speech but my heart sank till the bottom of the earth core when I heard Datuk Ahmad Ismail said that the Malaysian Chinese are juz immigrants who are not supposed to have the equal rights as the Malay bumiputras.
Staying in this country where there's unequal population density of races, I have to be very careful with my words as the ISA will have every right to send my sorry ass right into jail if I said or do anything that is not music to the ears of the goverment. Anwar was sent into jail, Lim Kit Siang was sent into jail, Hindraf leaders were sent into jail and I wish that I would not be the next opposition leader in future. :)
Kenny Sia, Malaysia celebrity blogger had commented on the recent Penang situation as you all can have a look of his post here. Tun Dr Mahathir, the previous Prime Minister has commented about the happenings in his own blog which u all can find it here and also here.
Hopefully Malaysia still b a big happy family in the future.
