How lucky are Malaysian?

In March 19 2012, a issue released by TIME cracked the false reality that I lived on. This issue exposed to the world the real situation in Syria, a part of world that constantly struggled and tucked in war. There is this unknown reporter William Daniels risked his life to capture picture from Syria. The cover shown here is taken by him while racing past in rebel district when he tried to fled the bombing street. Syria is ruled by Assad regime for a long period. Activists are really dissatisfied with the ruthless ruling by Assad regime. They starts fighting for their right.

In Syria, reporters and journalists are not allowed to roam freely in the district. They will be shot down on the street. Daniel sneaked into Syria with a group of reporters. In the few days in Syria, Daniel has gone through a lot of tears and fear. He never expected to live through the day and survived from the ghastly killing fields in Syria. Some of his friends died from projectile bombs. He wanted to get out form Syria, but it is not as easy as he thought.

Everyone had someone in their family... who had been killed. We felt bad saying "Please help us get out of here. We had lost our friends." We couldn't say that, because they had lost everything.

You might ask why he ever risked his own life to get the footage of Syria? Yes, he sounds unreasonable to risk his life for worthless news. However, you are the one too ignorant to notice that this news had finally bringing the world attention into noticing this little country, Syria.

How lucky are us as a Malaysian? We live in moderate topical country safe from any sort of natural disasters and war fighting. Yet, many of the politician are so mindless to bring the disaster upon themselves. Please be considerate and tolerant, this is what made up Malaysia as multicultural country. We have little issue of race discrimination in Malaysia but not to a great extent as they do in European country.

Recently, I have hooked up with a new online game called The Godfather: Five families. I named my avatar character as Xiong. At first, I did not realize my name will cause me a lots of trouble. I want to have some nice soothing time enjoying this new online game. Later, I realized that many people disliked me and made sarcastic remarks upon me. They would ask me whether I play baboon game. Some criticized me to have a gob. They annoyed me and hurted me to the deep core of my soul. We live in the same parallel world with no boundaries. You can text anyone using your phone or email anyone using computers. There are people who like to limit boundaries among different races. I would say that the dream to set up a peaceful world is a tedious and courageous task. Just like what have been steered into the song sang by John Lennon "Imagine"

You, you may say I'm a dreamer

but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one
