I feel like working again

...after a very long period of passive state. Could be the recoil after being forced to the wall. I could write a whole treatise on this, but for the time being, let's just say that I had a long day (mentally anyway) and it's gonna be a long night ahead...it has been a day of interesting experiences and reflections and although I'm not going to find the solution to all my problems right now, I can at least be satisfied that:

1) I figured out how to do binary division, the method turns out to be more stupid than I thought, which is actually good.

2) I bought enough mosquito coils to last for the rest of March.

Doesn't make any sense? It's okay, it is intended to be so!

Unity Is Strength

Let's see...apart from Kelantan, UMNO lost (control of state government in) Penang, Kedah and Selangor for the first time in possibly decades

"In Selangor, DAP has taken 35 seats (DAP - 15, PKR - 11 and PAS - 9) out of the 56 seats in the state."

"Both the PAS and PKR have won 22 out of 36 state seats in Kedah."

"The opposition has won 27 out of 40 state seats in Penang - DAP (19 seats), PKR (6) and PAS (2)."

With a combined effort from the opposition, UMNO is denied of not just 1, but 4 state governments! A budding alliance no doubt, but so far they have honoured it...and are well-rewarded. A most interesting turn of events ahead to be anticipated.

PS: If Perak is also down, mother might be very pleased...but it doesn't really matter anymore.

irritating chinese chauvinism/nationalism

These days, every so often 中华民族的利益高于一切 is used as a blanket statement to put an end to all sorts of discussion topics in chinese forums, to silence all voices of dissent, be it international politics, or rising oil prices, or the long list of chinese internal issues. Some pple do not seem to understand that a blanket is often nothing more than a blank statement. Who is in the position to decide what is blablablah's 利益? Some would go on to say, power speaks, 靠实力说话, i.e. one who holds the actual power to decide on things, decide on what should be considered 'right' things. With this understanding in mind, it is regretable that the world is obliged to keep a watchful eye on all great powers, since it is considered a given that those with the power are obliged to impose theirs on those without it.
