Wear Yellow Day
OH. MY. GOD
I can’t believe this is all happening back home! In Malaysia!
The road I used to take to Nuffnang’s office everyday!
I got lost here once! near Masjid Jamek right??
(pictures from kickdefella.wordpress)
Everything is so familiar and scary. I never thought I’ll wake up one day to see all this happening in my country. Burma yes, Thailand yes, but Malaysia??
C’mon isn’t it supposed to be a peaceful protest? Then why the teargas! Why the water with chemical!
I’m so proud of each and everyone of you who was there today. You guys really made history. You guys proved to me that Malaysians are not a bunch of domestic fowls who sit at home and complain incessantly. You proved to me that we, no matter how insignificantly unimportant and small to the making of this country, can make a significantly large difference.
I don’t know if what happened today will actually make a difference, what’s with our own NATIONAL NEWSPAPER refusing to talk about it at all. Seriously, I’ve lost whatever respect I used to have for our local media. Thank you so much for giving us a completely biased and skewed updates of what happened.
Stupid RTM news here
Damn stupid ok not only did they juxtaposed the protest in Malaysia with other obviously much more violent protests in other countries to brainwash us rakyats of how violent these people are, they even say that it’s outside our “budaya”.
Fuck off la!!! What do you mean outside our budaya? Is it our budaya to have corrupted officials in the first place? Is it our budaya to cheat in the national election? IS IT our budaya to simply throw teargas and chemicals at a completely peaceful protest?
If it’s our budaya to oppress other people’s voices, if it’s out budaya to not show what we believe in and hide in the comforts of our own homes forever, then this is not the country where I came from and I don’t want to be a part of it anymore.
A more accurate update here
I know we can’t do shit from where we are
but we can wear yellow =)
HAHHAA that’s Aud transforming into a trash lady wtf
Again, I’m so proud of everyone. I kept wishing that I’m back home so I can march along with pride with these people. I know I’ll surely cry one wtf. Seriously watching the news gave me goosebumps all over what makes you think I won’t cry if I’m there T_T
I love you, brave countrymen (and women).
p.s: Thank you for choosing yellow! It’s my favorite color! I’ve always liked the yellow power ranger anyway wtf. Daulat Tuanku! (these words give me goosebumps too, dunno why)
No related posts.
yah i agree with the budaya thing! although some of the scenes WERE from malaysia, some protests did become violent.
yah i’ll wear my yellow depauw swallows tshirt today! quite fitting also, since we’re playing against depauw today in the monon bell game wtf.
hoho. nicely written. we did the same thing here in London but because of the news back home, i think many didn’t turn up and we had 20 odd ppl in yellow chanting and waving boards asking for fairness in votes!
“Daulat Tuanku”s are still ringing loudly in my head
wow why am i so attractive wtf
BERSIH rally was useless but not its intent. Since the 100,000 embarked towards cityhall, they are actually walking into a trap called the ‘spectacle’. the system and the media will hijack/rob of rallies of their initial intent. its a theory by Jean Baudrillard. Understand it and rally better.
Right now, election is the best possible solution. SPOIL 2/3s of all votes and see what happens to our parliament and constitution.
The upcoming election will prove to be quite interesting after all that has happened during the last 4 years…
Oh ya, where you got the pictures from ah?
I can’t seem to get them…
Aww how nice of you to dedicate an entry to Bersih Rally. I still can’t believe there were no violence happening in the largest crowd since long ago except from the redheaded ants.
Aud looks absolutely fabulous in the 2nd pic !!!!
i’ve always liked the yellow power ranger too wtf. hahah
eh btwwww, this blog address made permanent yet? i wana change ur link url
baz, good for u wtf
chris, i wanna do here also but dunno where to go since i’m extremely far away from the city. sigh damn terpencil la this place wtf
trash girl, because u’re born like tht wtf
rakyat, i don’t know if it’s really useless u know. i really think it helped open lotsa people’s eyes regarding this. election is the best solution but a dirty and corrupt election is not.
porcupine, oh i forgot to credit my source. it’s from kickdefella.wordpress.com, i think a lot of people posted the pictures already? ya i can’t wait for the election too. but i can’t vote =(
iwan, nah i’m so glad there isn’t any violence. it’s not our ‘budaya’ u know? haha
sean, haha at first i thought u meant the first pic and i thought u were being sarcastic. ya she does =))
yee, erm no don’t link first! i’m still in the process of getting a proper domain!
hopes for democracy on Malaysia~~~
i have a little suggestion..how about all bloggers have a blog entry of them wearing yellow with some comment bout this thing…i think it would be very nice to do so…
michael, ya i guess u guys could if u want. but it might be dangerous u know cause our mighty pm hates blogs.
I know I’m one post too late, but your hair in the previous post where you’re wearing your yellow shirt – it’s so .. long .. and .. smooth ..
*swoons*
If you ever cut it down to a bob and decide to sell off your hair (as hair extensions), contact me first! (This was supposed to sound like a compliment but I totally udnerstand if you take it the other way)
P/S: not saying you will, but just hypothetically speaking.
PP/S: Is it good genes? Or some magic hair product?
Ah shit.
So it seems that I posted on the correct post.
