Random #1 in June 2014

I was at the hospital waiting. Nothing unusual with that. It comes with the job. Heh. Anyway, yeah, I was waiting with the other patients. The people I see there don't usually have happy faces on so it makes me like a fool to be smiling at them most of the time. I thought I was being polite and friendly but in hindsight I think it could come off downright rude and offensive.

Imagine you just had both of your legs amputated. Still young, many things to discover and learn in this world and puff! no more legs. Just as you were trying to come to term with your loss, suddenly this schmuck looking at you and gave you a smile. Not just any smile but one that says "Hey, it's such a great day huh, to be out in the sun, under the blue sky and just enjoy the day." I am not saying it is wrong to smile with such meaning behind it but I can just imagine the mental exhaustion having to cope with a new situation. 

"I just lost both legs and you asking me to enjoy the day? Screw you, and screw everyone. Screw today, screw the sun! I don't feel like being happy!"

I can just imagine one of the many people I smiled to had this thought as I smiled to them for the past few days.

Then, I saw a couple and their newborn baby. I saw a caring husband, showering his wife and child with such love, compassion that it made me want to share my heart and my love. I saw the glow on the wife's face, brimming with happiness, perhaps having been showered and pampered with love by her husband, and the fact that they both have this little cute human being as a proof of their love, and commitment. Not only to ensure the survival of their bloodlines (biologically speaking) but also to pass down those feelings they have at that moment, and from the moment they knew they were gonna live their lives together - to the next generation. And to the one after that. And it will not stop, God willing.

At that moment, I asked myself. "How are you doing today, Danial?"

Yeah, would be damn awkward for me as well... aku pernah eksiden dulu masa student, muka parah patah gusi, bibir terkoyak... was pretty bloody, ambulans hantar masuk hospital atas stretcher, skali ada mamat staff kat situ tegur aku "tak balik kg ke?", pastu ada member dia balas "ish ko ni, dia mcm tu ko boleh tanya balik kg ke tak?"... aku blurry jer, ignore dorang, rasa mcm nak pitam... hahah
awkward, sikit. aku lebih kepada rasa "damn ko ni tak sensitif ke wei. kalau tak boleh nak ber-empati cuba la buat muka tak tahu"

dan akhirnya aku jadi numb =P

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de

Hang Tuah The Animation?

Woah, woah! Read this at beautifulnara about a three way agreements signed by Japanese anime studio Gonzo (Blood: The Last Vampire), Malaysian animation studio Funcel and Malaysia's National Film Development Corporation to produce Hang Tuah the animation! The protagonists....maybe? The antagonists...look so.. It sounds cool to me at first but I am being a bit skeptic about having non Malaysians to make an anime out of this legendary warriors, Hang Tuah and his friends. What more, I wonder are the voice actors gonna be Japanese too? I remember watching Silat Lagenda. That was awesome for our technology that time. But I think I shouldn't be all negative about Gonzo studio animating Hang Tuah because it's a collaboration....I think? Well, you guys can read more here and here . hehehehe
