Today the world is lost in great confusion and cries out in agony. We face endless conflict as individuals, in our families, in our nations and in the world. As individuals, we are confronted with inner turmoil between our mind and body. Our families are plagued with the moral decadence of our young people and the breakdown of family-centered traditions. Historical rivalries lead to distrust and even war among our nations, fanning the embers of uncertainty and hopelessness in the world.

It has been a while since I first started thinking about the future, my future. Honestly I rather not, its just too much of a fuss. I always been or like to think that I am the type of person who live life as it comes and am quite satisfied with things, the way they were. That was until I finished school. Leaving school is a start, of a life that I was not familiar with. The world suddenly seemed huge and strange. Friends were too busy organizing their life or organized by, everyone was busy doing their thing. It’s a gift actually having something to do, whatever it is you want to do or having something similar as the rest of the crowd u grew up with.
It makes me wonder how someone, who once was a friend, who did a lot of things together, didn’t have the opportunity to do what their friends did or do. Knowing that their friends would expand their knowledge and experience new things hence makes them one of the many normal people just might make them feel timid about themselves. They would eventually continue what their parents did and turn out to be a farmer or a fisherman wish is a noble occupation just that they didn’t really had a choice. I would not blame them if they were to feel a little bit unlucky or dissatisfied but if they were to just hangout among themselves, then things would just be normal, I guess.
The news is a perfect example of how the rich and powerful discriminates the weaker ones and at end of the day end up being the good guys. It just proves that there’s no more justice and fairness in the world and the thing about rich people is they keep getting richer and often provided free stuffs from people who acquire their importance or whatever it is, in that subject, hence making them more wealthy. Since I am on the disliking people ‘subject’ I would like to add that I am not fond of not rich people too. It’s just that their very insecure and easily provoked ohh and I like to think that I am in the middle of the both category.
I’ve come to believe that people who were unhappy with the way the system worked and had hopes for it to change established cults, groups and various other beliefs to disapprove or show resistance. Come to think about it they didn’t really, had any real affect. There are also groups that are fighting for freedom or land. Out of desperation I am saying that they had to act aggressively in order to defend their land or freedom. I also like to think that they didn’t have any choice for that matter. There are many types, kinds of movements where some of them are people who try to get attention from people in order to achieve their goals and there are other peoples who just have to show in a not so nice manner hence makes them a outlaw. The point is, why fight when you’ll eventually lose ohh I forgot they have their beliefs and in a way I admire them for they still have hope and a strong belief.
Another thought, according to people when somebody dies they’ll be reborn again into the world maybe with a different form or hobbies for that matter. To me it’ll be like living in hell, I mean who would want to live and die and live again in a place called earth. That is, if we could realize of what’s happening, if not it’ll just be another life. Hmmm I am confusing myself. I mean the world isn’t exactly a very nice place to live in, not that I lived somewhere else apart from here. Its just that I don’t like it very much ahaha.
Jumping into another topic here, I remember someone saying that I am a juvenile, it made me realize that maybe that’s why I am questioning things too much but then again I don’t really question too much I am just unhappy with almost everything. Then again I should consider myself lucky for being physically healthy and mentally stable (I am quite sure of that hehe). I like to believe that I am currently in the state of development between youth and maturity (sad case), the right word would be adolescences (referred from dictionary). Maybe that’s why I make a big deal out of everything that’s happening, once I am matured enough I might just stop questioning and might just focus on what I want to do or be, I am assuming here. For now, ill just shut up and continue living the life that I don’t really like but cant live without. Lastly, I am surprised that you read this till the end.
Thank you
A Peasant One

INTRODUCTION
Over the years this only happened to me once so I guess it deserves to be posted and I’d like to mention that this is nothing emotional just showing appreciation, is showing appreciation a sign of emotion? Ohh and I’d also like to mention that I am not gay haha don’t know abt the other guy who has a role in the story and a big one as a matter of fact, maybe its because he wrote it. Here are some explanatory about the roles in the story, the main man Star player He’s called Star because he shines and twinkles and too far away to be reached by mere mortals hahaha, be a sport and just bear with it, will you. Its not often that I say things like that ohh wait I do mention them a lot. Moving on the second role is called or preferred to be called Shahriman Latiff don’t ask me why, now Shahriman Latiff is a gay I mean is a guy that I’ve known for a long time and he’s also the writer of the particular story and I like to thank you for writing this fun story. Lastly there’s the princess who apparently became a lesbian after the death of Star Player (happens in the story, *the death) because of the fact that she couldn’t love any other guy which is I’d say not at all surprising and is not mentioned in the story, I wonder why. The other roles were just not important enough or worth to be mentioned. Enjoy…
The Adventures of STAR player.
By Shahriman Latif
Once upon a time, in a kingdom ruled under a
monarchy, there lived a simple peasant-boy by the
name of STAR player. He's a simple young man with
simple needs, and lives through the simple means
of farming wheat and some apple trees.
And he lives his life going about doing peasant-ly
business.
Then, one cotton candy day, the peasant boy STAR
player caught a glimpse of the princess of the
kingdom, and was utterly captivated by her
unearthly beauty.
"Indeed she is the most beautiful girl I have ever
seen," though STAR player to himself, while
scratching the crack of his buttocks in the manner
only peasants can.
And so he ambled home, and met with his neighbour,
the industrious grape-farmer Shahriman Latif.
And so it came to be that they sat together for
drinks, and STAR player related the story to his
neighbour.
"Shahriman, I have something to tell you," STAR
player paused dramatically, "I have fallen in love..."
Shahriman was stunned by this relevation and
replied "Well, STAR player...I know we've know
each other for years...but I didn't know you had
those kind of feelings for me..."
"Not with YOU, half-wit!" bellowed STAR player,
"With the princess! Those wondrous raven hair,
eyes as clear as pirated DVD movies, lips as red
as blood, skin as soft as..."
"Uh-huh..." interrupted Shahriman, "You're just
attracted to her bewildering ass, aren't you?"
"Yeah, that's about right..."
And so Shahriman Latif advised his dear friend
gently about how a peasant boy would never marry a
princess.
"I'd have a better chance of punching God in the
face and live to boast about it than you having a
chance at the princess. Don't take it personally,
friend. It's the way it works," was how Shahriman
Latif put it to STAR player.
And so, dejected, STAR player started a movement
to change the political structure of the kingdom.
He introduced the concept of "Social Mobility" and
"Seperation Of Powers". He also introduced a
revolutionary social model of "classless society".
His clandestine movement grew more popular among
the masses, much to the chagrin of the monarchy,
who actually thought they could rule forever by
providing non-existent education system laced with
propaganda. And so the monarchy wished to remove
the upstart peasant STAR player from the political
map.
Then, one day came a knock on his door, and all
the King's men and all the King's horses were at
his front door, lead by his neighbour, Shahriman
Latif.
"Shahriman!" cried STAR player, "How could you
betray me like this?!"
"I'm sorry, dear friend," replied an emotional
Shahriman, "They left me no choice! They
threatened to provide me with a Datukship and
acres upon acres of land if I provided the
information leading to your capture!"
"That's doesn't sound so threatening to me!"
shouted STAR player as the King's men beated him
into near death, "You're a backstabber!"
"I can't help it, old friend!" sobbed Shahriman as
he witnessed his friend beaten into a pulp, "I'm
Malay, it's in our nature to lie and backstab!"
"Oh..." gasped STAR player in his dying breath,
"Then, I forgive you my friend. It's not your
fault..."
And so it came to be that the honest, humble STAR
player was a victim of political assasination, and
soon after Shahriman Latif found himself publicly
executed after he, too fell victim to political
backstabbing.
THE END.
Yup. That is my story for you. Thank you

It’s a cool breezy night not really breezy naturally but breezy as in from the fan beside me. The day was as usually kinda awful but when it was around 9.30 pm it all turned out to be just fine its one of those feelings that u don’t really achieve or figure out something yet you still feel good about yourself, a feeling that I don’t feel often and its rather hard to explain. I’ve done something different tonight and felt that I should brag about it a little bit. I only read books when I have nothing much else to look forward to but a few days back I promised a friend that I’d finish reading a book by this week so I had to make a rather difficult heart breaking decision between the magic box and the book considering that tonight’s shows was just as the same as the week before only with a slight change of almost everything except for the casts. However I find that choosing to read a book than reading a book because you have nothing else better to do is much better than reading a book when you have nothing better to do and I think so because you’d actually enjoy the book and it’s a great way to get a way from the real life and try reading a funny one it’ll eventually take your mind of things in general. I just thought that I said it and I am saying it as in stating my opinion not advising or things which is similar to that and the same goes to my previous posts hehe…ohh I also like to say that people tend to do or lead their way into doing better things when they feel bored and I am still talking about myself. Before I end I’d like to state that my reason and point of writing this thingy was because I was bored and the point is still pointless. Somewhat writing or thinking that I am writing something pointless makes me feel cool.
