Django: The world we live in belongs to the enemy, we must live carefully. We look out for our own kind, Remy. When all is said and done, we’re all we’ve got.

[Django starts to walk away]

Remy: [Defiantly] No. Dad, I don’t believe it. You’re telling me that the future is - can only be - more of this?

Django: This is the way things are; you can’t change nature.

Remy: Change is nature, Dad - the part that we can influence. And it starts when we decide.

Django: [Remy turns to leave] Where are you going?

Remy: With luck, forward.

Scene from Ratatouille

To all my Malaysian friends, beyond any race and religion, have a good Merdeka Day.

    No, we don’t need any country that’s colourblind
    ‘Cause that’ll be only too difficult to really find
    Rather look for common worthy causes that can universally bind
    All peoples of this world together as rational and kind mankind. Amen.

    Hi , you guys have a great set of articles here. Do you also accept submissions please? I’m eager to contribute on the concepts of philosophy, religion and nationhood.

    cheers.

    That was good.
    The end of the day, no matter what ever happens in YOUR world, the only way to go is FORWARD….

    Complaining won’t get you anywhere, just frustration and live is too short for that.

    The world takes millions of years to evolved so as the life in it..

Fong Po Kuan decided to break up with us. We sent two of our buddies (LKS and LGE) to go and talk to her to try to get her to change her mind, and it looks as though they did try their best. But she remains firm… she thinks we should just be friends.

So far, we had observed, the prime minister had accepted flowers and roses from Puteri UMNO and some other women.
We don’t know why the prime minister had conjured […]
