"Aqua"

In Phuket, there is a place called Bangla road. It is a normal road filled with people and cars in the morning but when night fallen, it transforms and become a heaven for “aqua”.

Frankly speaking, very few “aqua” looks “pretty”. Fake breast, long hair, hoarse voice, thick make-up and sexy short skirt make them look weird.

It was strange looking at them. Someone said their soul is trapped in a wrong body. As they cannot change their soul, so they kept trying to change their body.

The outsiders think they are pathetic but they seem lived happily in their own world. I understand that it is their right to choose their gender but most of these aqua chose to become a prostitute and pole dancer... This I cant understand.

On my way back I saw 3 ‘aqua’ in KTM. They dress like teenage girl, wearing hair band, lip stick, strong perfume and the way they talk and laugh is so girlish. I observed that a man who sits opposite with a disgusting look on his face…

This is a world where we want to be normal.
“Normal” = the thinking & opinion of majority.
The opinion of the minority = “odd”
There is an unseen circle surround us.
Those who chose to stay in the big circle are considered normal person.
The sound of minority and people who chose to step outside the circle is always labeled as peculiar, abnormal and troublesome.

We change in order to become better.
We change our job when we do not like it.
Change a new organ when the original one spoilt.
These ‘aqua’ are doing the same things.
They are just changing the body when they found out that their body is not suitable.
I felt weird when see them but at the same time think that there is nothing wrong with them.

Very confuse.

M&M

Myanmar had recently suffered from a rare cyclone which caused tens of thousands of people died and many more lost their loves one and properties.

It was extremely shocked to see pictures and videos showing corpses and carcasses floating everywhere and at the same time heard that the ruling military junta restricted international aid to the country, CONTINUE exporting rice to other country when their own people had nothing to eat, concentrate on election rather than helping the cyclone nargis survivors.

Money and power can make one loss their conscience and ready to sacrifice everything... With this kind of government, I do not know where the future of the Myanmar people lies.

So when we compare ourselves to Myanmar, we are lucky. At least god had treated Malaysia well and we do not suffer from major nature disasters. However, we must know how to appreciate it because human can cause larger disaster than the nature.

I feel that Malaysia is not so peaceful since the election in March 8.

Recent news on the Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin being detained by the police, called upon Karpal Singh to be charged under the seditious law, Lingam video clip, Mongolian lady murdered case, rumours of Anwar to become the next Prime minister, UMNO grassroots proposed Abdullah Badawi to consider "succesion plan" and Ketuanan Melayu make me feel uneasy.

As chinese saying, 山雨欲来风满楼 --- When the storms are about to come, there will always be strong wind before it. We are the normal citizen who cannot control and determined the future of Malaysia. The wakil rakyat that are supposed to represent us and the goverment that are suppose to protect us should think before they do something.

Please protect the unity and peacefulness of this country.
