Our perspective towards many different aspect of life has been moulded by the giant capitalist companies. Therefore when you try to swim against the current people will view you as an idiot- but what they don't see at the end of the river will be the plunge going down to the raging water that will inevitably bring death to anyone.
Capitalist system makes us stop thinking what is best for us. The mass control is what the father of public relation Edward Bernays did to make us consume almost every propaganda that they want us to believe.
Sure enough freedom of choice and expression has become the cliche of the modern world. However what we are keen to voice is also the result of what this capitalists has formed in our mind at the first place. Take one example regarding what Ed Bernays did to manipulate and trigger the first so-called freedom of choice in the society.
In order to penetrate the women market for cigarette in 1920s Bernays masterminded a movement for women 'rights'. Women were given perception they too can be like their men counterpart. A distinguishing feature belonged to men were challenged by this so called rights group. Women for the first time smoke in public and this has helped cigarette company to boost their sale.
This would be one of many other examples we could find if we are eager to seek for the truth and mind you this fine example was accomplished more than 80 years ago. Within 80 years time frame a lot of deceits and damages would have been accomplished.
So the question now is what would be the basis of thought for an absolute freedom of choice and expression- free from the influence of materialism, capitalism and any other corrupt practices in the world?
Turn off the TV and the radio. Stop buying entertainment/infotainment magazines of any sorts. Reflect on the world, the current banking system, the politics and the most important element- The purpose of our existence in the world.
And then think. The process will not be short. It will take years and perhaps a lifetime to know ourselves. Don't simply believe of what the mainstream media told us. Most of the time the reverse might be correct.
At the end of the day, no matter whether we are a muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist or atheist will find the truest source of life and ready to answer the very question ourselves- Am I part of the bluff? And we are capable enough to answer the question, make our choice and ready to swim against the torrent.

sunday morning
you wake up early in the morning, open the fridge and grab a bottle of milk for a quick gargle and let it goes down through your throat.
A perfect Sunday morning......

video lama III
Mama was calling a cab for my departure to Cairo airport that evening and Anne was busy surfing.
Just after that she tried the galabiyya that we bought yesterday at Khan El Khalily. She bought specially for my mom. I have told her that her size will fit my mom so she tried it to check whether the size is ok. Just in case it doesnt fit we may change for another suitable size.
This will be the last video in egypt. That evening before my departure we went to a farewell party organized by Katja and Yvonne because they will move from Cairo.
Everything went perfect. Mama was happy introducing her son to the hostesses (as she was cheerily pointing me as 'part german,part chinese'). It was nice to be immersed in a total german atmosphere where everybody speaks German- though I could not join them in their native language I really enjoy listening to them. My german was not good so I have to speak english with Katja and the other guests. Sometime mama will translate everything for me.
Katja was a very determined lady and she had been in Liverpool for Erasmus program.
I also spoke to 2 lads where they spoke about their adventures going back to Germany from Cairo just by using land route!!
Katja owned a guitar and mama just happened to notice it and asked me to play along. It was an impromptu performance. I delivered 2 of my staples Beatles songs - I Will and Blackbird. I was lucky because i remembered all the lyrics and no noticeable f.ed up. Pheww..
It was a really great evening and great pasta they had. The only downside was the battery of my camera :(
We had to leave before the party was over because I need to catch my flight.

I just dont know why....

I dont know why everyone keep smiling at me today. I used to smile at strangers but today is amazingly different. Not a single person passed me by would just pass and move on without smiling. So maybe i forgot to unzip my fly..opps but i looked down and it was neatly zipped. No holes.
So what going on?
Maybe i need to leave the prejudice behind. It is going to be my lucky day..as always ;)

video2 lama I
hari ni aku nak tulis dalam BM sempena merayakan kekalahan Man Utd ke atas Fulham dan selepas dibelasah separa mayat oleh liverpool sebelumnya. heheh
heheh..malam ni aku nak upload video yg masih trperosok lagi dalam laptop aku ni dan x pernah disiarkan dimana mana.
Video ni diamik masa aku tgh sorang kt rumah mama angkat aku kt Kairo tahun lepas. Mama Steffi n Anne terlupa nak kasi aku kunci sebelum pegi skolah n terlock aku kt dalam rumah. Macam mana diorg bleh x sedar aku trtido lagi masa tu.
Aku bgn around kol 9-10 ( tp aku rse aku sembhyg subuh time tu..pstu tido blk hehe)
Siap2 mandi nk kuar jln2 bleh trkunci plk pintu.
Pergh mmg kna tunggu sampai pkol 2 bru diorg balik..
bosan teramat..nasib baik ada laptop. Bleh meluncur luncur.
Lapar teramat...nasib baik ada roti dgn cheese semalam kt dalam fridge. Belasah je la.
tunggu punya tunggu punya tunggu aku dh bosan dan amik video suasana kt luar rumah walaupun sebenarnya aku tade tujuan spesifik..( cuba dengarkan nada2 x keruan yang keluar dari mulut aku semasa mengambil video tersebut)
Wlaubgaimanapun ni bukanlah keadaan Kairo secara keseluruhannya..sebab kairo teramatlah besar..ada certain kawasan macam baru lepas kna bom dgn pesawat pejuang dan ada certain tempat yng memang cool dan lawa.
Tapi...ada hikmah disebalik kejadian terkunci ni....nantikan dalam episod seterusnya...
