just minishorts.

I love environmentalists. I REALLY DO.

I just cannot tahan some of the things some organizations do. With all that *THEY* profess to advocate, can stop printing paper and stop accusing me of throwing away clean paper when they send THREE OF THE SAME DAMNED BROCHURES to my house or not? This terrible sin (in my dictionary IF you are fighting for the ecology and to save the environment and you send three damned brochures to the same address you're committing a sin) was committed by the very famous WWF. Tsk tsk, being famously international doesn exempt you from making mistakes, tau?

I sympathise with the blind and the underprivileged. BENAR, BENAR one.

I just have a problem when the organization keeps sending letters to my house asking me for money.

For some reason, the holier-than-thou bitch in me firmly believes in this. God will definitely provide, and if you keep bloody sending letters to me asking me to donate to this cause, to put aside money from my accounts for your cause (whatever it is), by virtue of the fact that I have already experienced that you can actually set aside your funds for printing of such publicity brochures (whether sponsored or no I don't care lah), I know dah. You don't need the money.

I didn't get any brochures sent to my house from the famous Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary. Sure they're funded by the government, but it doesn't mean they lack a need of extra funds. Why else do you think I strongly believe we should support them? Check out Zoo Negara, they sure as hell need the additional cash, you see them sending out professionally printed brochures in 30-sen envelopes asking people to donate money or not? Tarak kan?

UNICEF so penting organization also doesn't do this monthly sending out to previously donated-once people to ask for money. The Missionaries of Charity also don't send out these forms with photos of dying people or poor orphans asking for me. It's PURE voluntarism, and that's what touches me.

I hereby declare that if you come to my table begging for cash and there's a totally abled person with you, I will totally ignore you. If you mention the word Sharity and come to me with RM20 per 10-piece pack of greeting card and give me some load of bullshit about how 10% of the proceeds will go to charity, I will tell you to go away.

But if you come alone, and you're blind, and you're old, and you're limp, I'll give you my heart, and what's I can able from my purse. If you're just sitting there, and you need a hand, I'll bring you what I can from where I am.

If you come with some folder, and give me a low down of how you're a registered charity, asking me to part with my RM10, then go ahead and label me the selfish and uncaring citizen of Malaysia that the nation needs less of.
