It's been a long while since I last felt good weather in Malaysia. But then again, one would expect, warm, gentle winds after more than two months of continuous Monsoon rain. It was during work when I decided to step outside of the cafe. Strangely enough, the wind that blew that day wasn't a violent gust of wind, which was usually a sign of a coming storm. Instead, the winds that passed through the area was no more than a whisper; something that could be heard, but still not strong or loud enough to put you off. I was so relaxed with the feeling of the wind, that my boss came out and asked me, "John, what are you doing?"
I looked at my boss, pondering the question before answering:
"I don't really know actually. I believe that I'm merely enjoying what little joy this world can offer me, lest I take it for granted."
I guess the old saying is true: "The simplest of pleasures really are the best pleasures in life". But I wonder, does it really apply to other people? Do people really take things for granted, or are most of us just looking at the wrong people and things at the wrong time?

How should we judge a government?
In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain
Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham
"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan
Government fed by the people
