Deceit happens. Its a much 'nicer' way to describe a lie.
Deceit happens in politics. They not necessarily tell a blatant lie, but they hide and twist facts. You see, people can make claims and facts and agendas and give loads of talk. They can quote facts and figures and name the game.
The media would broadcast this, general public could listen to all parties involved, but how many would actually double check the facts that all these people present?
If party "A" said that 10% of the country's losses have been due to negligence in "X" sector, how many would check that it is 1) 10%, and 2) involved sector "X" ?

For all you know all parties may be plucking facts and figures out of the air. And because they are too busy campaigning for themselves, they're concentrating on themselves mostly, and less so of others. EVEN if that is not the case, in an impromptu speech, you cannot possible remember the facts to rebut what the other has said. And if it IS detected later on, the impact is most likely going to be to a lesser degree than the first.

And, that is why people/politicians talk ---- (insert expletive) at a gathering en masse.

So yes, we can listen to them, we can compare and contrast..but question is, WHAT are we comparing and contrasting? .. words in the absence of substance perhaps?

Awaiting..

I am who I am, and I am proud of where I come from, and how much I have gone through.
Indeed, there are mistakes that I've done along the way, but I am learning from them, as we do with each and every passing moment.

I got a feeling that the future is already fated. I got a feeling that I could actually travel ahead in time to see where I am 2 months ahead.

Feeling kinda scared now..nerves are kicking in. Well, surprisingly, for once.

But this too, shall pass.
Though, I am hoping to keep something..going, growing.

Yes, you know you can confirm what you've just said, when even the simplest gesture given and simplest of favour asked, fall on deaf ears or an ignorant head, or both.

The commonest of sense is lacking in some people.
Is it due to the lack of care? No, its due to people being SELFISH. A person can lack something, but worse is when a person ADDS on a bad trait and exudes it.

I think it is partly due to that..AND, the fact that some people, even the most brilliant on the external, can seriously lack humanity and human touch, and the commonest of sense.

I am utterly disgusted by rapists.
They should not be alive.

The Finals..as a student.

Its so unbelievable..
Don't want it to go..
Its so beautiful..
Feel like its going to be
A part of me..
I can be a fool
But please make it come true..

"Leader's" debate

Anyone watched the televised political debate on ITV last night? - British politics that is.

I did, for the first few moments of it. Then I realised its time to press the "power" button and flip my book open.

It was quite interesting to note how they debated. I kinda missed those fury moments and the sharp witty tongue, anticipating to lash back..only to realise that you were so engrossed with responding instinctively and instantly that you weren't thinking. Also, if you give more time, analyse how these people process their minds! I think its highly intriguing on how synapses fire in different people when it comes to immediate responses.

Anyway, I personally do not have much knowledge on British politics. But I thought, it was becoming more "American". Fact is, almost all politicians are alike. ALMOST. Some do it better than others in terms of presenting facts, responding to critiques and tactfully rebutting. Some, just look better on camera.

Not in a nutshell, but more so of in a seed-pit (LoL):
What I saw - poor Nick. You could see that he wasn't very 'polished' for the scene. But hey, perhaps its this kinda 'innocence' that you need.
Gordon - I sensed a tactic, a poor one, and it was obvious from question 2 onwards. Not good for a seasoned politician. You should never make your tactics obvious. That's what I feel anyway. Tactics are meant to be left at that - a tactic. Work on the product of it.
David - Not bad, but all talk. I doubt the actions.

Dunia kecilku..

Suaramu menceriakan hatiku,
Sinaran matamu, menyerikan hariku
Alangkah gembiranya jikalau kita boleh bersatu
Bersama mencari kebahagiaan diriku dan dirimu

Namun, hidup tidak semudah begitu
Inikan dunia nyata penuh rintihan
Rentasan perjalanan penuh batasan
Adanya perasaan dan gusaran

Kau dan aku, kita berbeza
Mungkinkah yang berlalu hanya kenangan
Atau, mungkinkah masa hadapan kekal harapan
Biarlahku dibuai mimpi bayu buat sementara waktu


Dunia kecilku indah pandangan
=)

Congratulations..~

I look up to you, and I always will.
