Oish, procrastination a sin?
You know there are a few things that keep going on through my mind recently. Like the challenges of swimming against the tide (where I work), and working in an environment where minds have been literally set in stone. I get those questions all the time, you know, me, being Chinese, young, female, everyone asks, why do I do what I do?
Its even more ironically relevant when Merdeka is just around the corner and friends of all colours, sizes, and ages ask me the same damned question in different deliveries?
Why the heck do we do this? Haiyoh. So trivial lah. And the thing is, it really took me two damned years to realize that the answer that I had dangling around in my mind really isn't obnoxious at all, as long as I keep saying it again and again and again.
A job is a job is a job.
People will talk. People WILL talk. People will ask questions, and people will wonder.
Anything to get the job done. Let's work, and then complain later. When the results are out, let's discuss where we get wrong (the pathetic thing is most people I know are too intent on the celebrations so they actually forget to complain and discuss the mistakes.)
And by the way, race, gender and age? While its unfortunate that discrimination still exists, its pathetic to see people clinging on to such an obvious waste of time. For fucks sake, all that complaining about age, gender and race (or religion, in some cases) is not going to change the fact that I'm not about to grow older (or younger), I'm not about to grow a beard and sprout a dick overnight, and I'm not about to have an ancestry blood change in the blink of a second. Why resist the things you can't change?
I think it's all an excuse to keep procrastinating. Hilarious isn't it, with all that talk about procrastination being a sin, we love to keep the habit so much we'll do just about anything just to keep it going.

50 years of independence what have we achieved? The speech by Raja Nazrin, Negarakuku, and today’s interview with Lim Kit Siang by The Sun.. all of them are wake up calls for the whole of nation!
Procrastination is setback for our development! It lies in every human nature, yet it’s a sin.. such conflict in ourselves rite? Time is money, so treasure the time you have! Don’t wait until you’re placed in the coffin to pray for more time!

Even so, aren’ we doing much better than any other countries who got their independence? Compared to other Muslim dominant countries, we are still by far the safest to live in and have so-called “peace” and “harmony”.

Liew: I’ll say yes to that, but we have to remember Malaysia being peaceful and harmonious (so far comfortably so, I like to believe) doesn’t mean we can sit back, be complacent and say ‘cukup dah’, ‘I’m happy already’.
Being imperfect is a great thing, I don’t think its bad at all. When we start to acknowledge our mistakes we open up to room for improvement. Hmm… that brings me to more thoughts. A little later, when I find the time I hope.

I so understand how you feel! It’s almost like the same where I work! Gawd!

I don’t have time to procrastinate. I’ll have to put it off till later!

yes we’re doing far better than most of the independent countries.. but we just lack one belief.. the belief that we are united as one!

Sure, I agree also on those things.
But also remember, that there’s always the right time for the right things. It’s just a phase that Malaysia needs to go through. What my main concern is how the current situation is handled. And I just hope that I still can go back to Malaysia yearly and still enjoy the lifestyle there.
Just as for anything, it’s how you play your cards that determines the winner.
