winds of change



for me sunday is not the same as say 2 or 3 years ago . those were the time when sundays were spent (if happened to be at home) by flipping through pages of newspapers after newspapers. nowadays i hardly buy newspapers anymore. reason ...newspapers are quite expensive ...besides the content is not worth to pay for...my income which buys less nowadays better spent on other more pressing matters like milk or diapers for my children ...

what do i do on sundays ? ...yes exactly what i am doing now ...surfing (or in the case of today updating my blogs) ...more independent news and views can be found over the internet and the blogs ...and for me, they are more reliable as the filtering or editing process can be done ourselves ...we can judge what to absorb or reject ... without realising it, we are changing our lifestyle

i can't avoid to touch on what happened in permatang pauh yesterday ....some say it was about 40k of people against 5k accompanying the candidates of the by election. my reflection on that scenario is that there are a strong current of people that hungry for change... from the images, i can see that they are just ordinary people on the street - silent majority that have nothing to gain but just emerged to demonstrate that they are supporting a force of changes ... a force to be reckoned with .... we cant avoid changes instead we must embrace it with hope that it would be for the better ....
