July

It's the month of June. A beautiful month, no doubt. There are the new revelations of life, the happenings to be happy about, the feelings to enjoy.

Of course, everything had to be interrupted by the haze. It brought a narrower horizon and many problems to everyone. #&$!* corporations scrimping on land-clearing costs.

And in the midst of everything happening, there's ____________ _________ _______ ______ ______

(Fill in the above story yourself lol).

And that's it. June was happening, wasn't it?







I need a journal, where I can write the narrations of life.

Writing On Stone Tablets

You know that feeling? When you transition from here to there. I mean,

Say you return back to your home from school, university, whatever for a holiday. Or you go somewhere special with people who are special to you FOR that holiday. It's a few days, a couple of weeks, maybe a month or two even. When you get to the end of it, it feels like forever since your holiday started, but only a short time of your holiday actually happened.

Then, it disappears into the past. Like the miles gone by. Like the waves into the shore. Like the sound of birds from the concrete jungle. Like the rush you get from your five seconds of fame.

Thank you for nothing

Cause there's nothing left to lose

Thank you for feeding us years of lies

Thank you for the wars you left us to fight

Thank you for the world you ruined over night
But we'll be fine

Yeah we'll be fine.

Sometimes I sit down here and all that comes to me is the sound of an imaginary object bouncing about the emptiness between my ears.

Sometimes, this happens in the middle of an exam paper. Usually, it's accompanied by the feeling of being cold, sleepy, or maybe some variety of bodily pain. Thankfully for me, it never lasts too long.

To break whatever's been happening above, I think I'll write about all the series I've watched ever in a few posts coming up. Brilliant, no? *shines laser into your eye*

Defunct

Hey guys, guess what. This blog's not in the loop any more (not implying it has ever been). So I guess you shouldn't bother check for updates, or anything for that matter. Just check on my Twitter to see me trying to be cool. Yeah. It's my initials btw. "K.L.".

Characteristics of a Democracy

A very dry essay pushed upon us in the guise of 'coursework'. For your information, I didn't bother passing it up. 400 words, no conclusion.

One of the main traits of the word "democracy" is that it is an ideology. That is to say, it is abstract; it is hard to define or set in stone. The greek word which democracy comes from can be literally translated as, "rule of the people". It is impossible to completely execute a pure democracy, but governments throughout planet Earth have come close to emulating democracy's key traits.

Before we look at the characteristics of a democracy we must note the general form of democratic governments. Firstly we must note that the most common interpretation of democracy is one that uses representatives, elected by the people; and those voted into power will then be involved in decision making and seek to best represent their electorate.

The cornerstone characteristic of democracy is the rule of the majority. The government must always seek to satisfy the needs of their people and protect their interests; listening to the people's woes and requests with due consideration. This can be accomplished in many ways, one example would be the upholding of the petrol subsidy in Malaysia to reduce inflation and cost of living. The democratic government must also uphold law and order in the country to protect its people's best interests.
 

We can examine the Malaysian political system as one that shows the characteristic of the rule of the majority. The Constitution of Malaysia requires a general election to be held at least once every five years. This is to give voters the opportunity to elect the 222 members of the Malaysian Parliament, 

While democracy means rule of the majority, the rule of the majority does not necessarily mean a democracy. An important part of the democratic rule of the majority is that the majority must not oppress the minority. Extensions to the law must be made to guarantee basic rights of minorities and treat them fairly. It is important for the government The rights of many types of minorities - race, religion, and language must be taken care of; in turn they will reciprocate with trust in the government. This will allow them to fully participate in the country's democratic institutions.

Another trait of the democratic system is pluralism. In a democracy, government is only a single thread in the social fabric of many kinds of public and private institutions, legal forums, political parties and associations.

No One

When I have no one to talk to, I sometimes talk.

To my blog.

In a language you probably wouldn't understand.

A Little Too Late?

It always seems like we only seem to appreciate things after they're gone, or after spending a ridiculous amount of time having it in our clutches. What a silly bear you are.

It always seems like we only seem to think about things that are pleasing to us, when all we need right now is to clear that glistening hurdle in front of us. What a funny boy you are.

It always seems like we only seem to get what was blindingly obvious, laying right in front of our eyes waiting to be discovered. What a damning piece to the puzzle you are.

It always seems so easy.

Maybe it is?
