A beautiful day..

I sat here at the patio and trying to blog of what's in my mind while my other half browsed the Sunday papers. I had done it a while ago and saw there are no new developments that I had not known already. It is full of stories of the election, mostly of that of the ruling parties, The Barisan Nasional or the National Front. Only one or two articles on the oppositions parties. Well that is politic. So I decided not to read it anymore but to sit here and blog.

It is a a beautiful Sunday morning with clear blue sky. In front of me are those orchids that I posted in my last posting and as I write this I could hear the flows of water from the fish pond nearby. The greens and the sound of dripping water bring back memories of my childhood. In those days being around pool of water in the village are very common but now living in the city it is not the same anymore. The roads are well laid and there seem to be no pot holes anymore. If there are any, folks would write to the local authority and soon it would be repaired. The stream nearby is not that clean any more. It look just like another drain beside the roads. For me who grew up in the era gone by, the scenes of greens, clear water streams and stretch and stretch of scenic beaches as far as the eyes could see are common sights to wonder. It was indeed beautiful days indeed. In the early morning on the way to school carrying the only tool for studying, the Slate. I would throw it gliding on the surface of the grass covered with the morning dew. I pick it up and wiped it clean. By doing that the Slate became smooth and fine, making it much easier to write on with the Slate pencil. It is almost the size of the present laptop. Funny! both have the same function that of writing, one of the past and the other of the present, the era of electronic and the Internet. Who would have dreamed that we would be doing our writing on a laptop computer now. That Slate is history, a very important tool for writing some sixty years ago and now this laptop, the tool of the present generation. What the present generation, that of our grands would be using in the next fifty years would be just something that we have just to wonder. Perhaps one did not have to use the keyboard but speak to it and the words get printed just like we do now with the keyboard. For now let us just wonder!!.


Nearby a political party, [PKR] Party Keadilan Rakyat, the People Justice Party, a multi racial party that is contesting the present election has sat up an Operation Centre. This party is headed by the spouse of Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar Ibrahim the former Deputy Prime Minister is prohibited by law to participate in politic until April this year. Anyways he is doing the campaigning for the party. So it look like the opposition parties are well prepared this time and if they wins sits in the election, there would be some changes in the political arena of the country. It would surely bring some good. For I believe that changes would bring reform, thus it would be good for the political development in this country. By this time next week we would know who are the candidates that would be standing for election come March 8, 2008.

I am not that sure as yet of what to do the rest of this Sunday. Maybe we would just go out for a spin around the city and come back after dinner. Have a nice day..
