Paying lip service

Its paying lip service to multiculturalism when nationalitic jingos get grassroot support over appreciation for cultural ethnicity of the other.Politicians pay lip service by hosting open houses for all but institionalized racism is the order of the day.politically correct language masks the real sentiments of prejudice and racism paying lip service by wearing ethnic costumes or muttering a few ethnic words is hypocrisy at best and insincerity at worst Sloganism of Malaysia,truly Asia can pull the wool over the tourist eyes but to the locals its just a branding tagline when at daily interaction level,we are living in parallel universe.Stop wasting taxpayers money on national service bullshit if in how we live and work and play,we are worlds apart.There is no common unifying factor when to divide and rule supersedes the national identity . Now Elon Musk says the existential crisis to humanity isnt the rise of robots ,computers and artificial intelligence but the fast decline in human population due to low birth rate.Soon the number of robots will outnumber the number of human beings on this planet.He also is critical of the woke culture and his sons transition to another gender.i burst out laughing at the over sensitive nature of blunt language which is deemed politically incorrect.i saw a T shirt that reads i suffer from the strange disorder in which i speak the truth and you all get offended.its calling a spade a spade and not a mechanical metal tool utilised to dig up dirt. so i dont see why the bloody internet giants want to censor swear words as its the lesser of the two evils compared to use of internet to scam,swindle,or spread hate and sexual grooming of kids by paedophiles or promote violence and terrorism and drug abuse.Surely to express your frustration at the slow speed of internet connectivity or a system is down message online by expletives like fuck you,or using the nigger word or faggot is much less dangerous to society than the other major evils of social media networking.political correctness carried to the extreme prevents us from seeking the truth.So i totally support Elon Musk argument not to inflict political correctness to AI language.Can ChatGPT please liberate us from the straitjacket of sensitive speech.Chat GPT sucks and isnt creative to write a play like the Vagina Monologues or We could fuck you Mr Birch by Malaysian playwright Kee Thuan Chye. Stop moral police of artificial intelligence whoever is the asshole software developer.We fuck,fart and are fat cause we are humans not machines who cant do any of these . i asked Chat GPT to compose a poem Why men suck at sex. Not bad when it came out as it seemed to understand love is not the same as sex.Not bad for an emotionless machine.ha ha.

Indian cuisine

to celebrate Diwali,i cooked Grilled chicken in masala spices and tender moringa leaves with sweet potato n mixed vege in curry coconut milk sauce.i got 2 mango lassi as drinks after dinner some kesari would be perfect or kulfi ice cream.Jun has international taste bud since im not like mom who cooks only Cantonese food.im into all exotic cuisine although i dont cook red meat at all.

Outdoors on sunny day

from working out daily to twice weekly on weekends,i find my fitness level has slackened.Today after an hour of circuit training,i was breathless.ive lost my stamina so i need to swimm in the evening to gain back my stamina.Compared to my colleagues im so suntanned but who cares,the vitamin D i get boosts my immunity.so great to see green trees,lake and lotus.nature is chillax.

went to Kinokuniya n bought Han Kangs novel Greek lessons.i like the blurb that looks at 2 lost souls,one lost her speech due to personal grief and the teacher losing his sight.then went to Petronas art gallery to view exhibits.culture vulture for the weekend.saw some really unaffordable good bookx like Jeff Kingston Reilgion,nationalsm and identity in South east asia and Meredith Weiss the roots o
f resilence an analysis of party politics rise of Pakatan in mainstream politics nearly rm300 perbook so can only browse no money to buy .

Sketch

wanted to sketch naughty pussy but did a baby tiger instead.maybe if kitty poses nicely i will do an acryllic of him but he zoomies like crazy

Mentaiko pasta

im a foodie so i was disappointed when Daiso doesnt stock up on mentaiko sauce.luckily many Japanese cooks have youtube videos on how to cook mentaiko sauce.Jaya grocer stock has italian cheese,cooking cream for pasta and shiso leaves.i went to my frozen seafood store for ebiko roe and used my roasted nori strips.cooked angel hair pasta with salmon belly and sliced hot dog in mentaiko sauce.now it wasnt difficult to cook the sauce so i dont need to buy readymade sauce.i cook from fresh ingredients.i love japanese kewpie mayo with goma or truffle.a japanese salad tomorrow.

Korean popularity in literature

Hallyu K pop started with music and dancing ,later extended to korean movies and soap operas and korean cuisine.With Han Kangs Nobel prize win,Korean literature translated to English is hot in demand.I thought English translation of Japanese writers like Haruki Murakami n Kazuo Ishiguro were popular but now korean literature is flying off the bookshelves of bookshops.I couldnt find Han Kangs novel The Vegetarian so i may buy it online. This afternoon i bought 2 very intriguing titles by korean novelist kyung sook shin Please look after mother and won pyung sohn Almond.Both are female wtiters and explore the theme of maternal love and adolescent misfits.Even my naughty cat was curious to check out these two novels,sniffing at the book covers.what! this cat likes to read like me .ha ha a cats eye review of korean literature.smartr pussy.Meow these books are totally indigestible.

Deepavali celebration

Being alone but not lonely

I think that marriage as an institution is over rated hype in this modern age.Apart from the value of companionship,it offers not much else as women become more financially independent.To be trapped in a physically abusive oe enotionally draining relationship is worse than being single .Psychology today did a survey that confirms females thrive as singles more than males.

Farewell to Korean study tour kids

It has been a fruitful experience teaching Korean high school kids from vocational training schools.Full of energy and curiosity,they had a fantastic time adapting to a multicultural nation,sampling exotic food,immersing in trips to Batu Caves,Putrajaya pink mosque,drawing kolam designs for Deepavali n dressing up for Halloween party.They love the diverse experiences of pasar malams,trips to Pasar Seni,Chinatown,Petronas Twin Towers,KL Towers,Sunway Pyramid,Pavilion,Mid Valley Megamall,Dataran Merdeka and the use of LRT to get around. From knowing next to nothing about Malaysia,they fell in love with our friendly people and diverse cultures from modern architecture to traditional buildings.im gonna miss them a lot as theyre on the thresh hold to transition from school to the adult working world.its refreshing to work with youthful energetic youths.Their education systems groom young people well for their future career as they re equipped with technological skills like software programming to technical skills like culinary and hospitality or horticultural skills of urban farming. The education system trains them well in holistic way from oral hygiene to physical fitness.Most are active in sports from football,badminton,basketball ,skateboarding,wall climbing,jogging or gym.They dont suffer the obesity issue of Malaysian youths who eat like there is no tomorrow and hates to exercise. Our education system is in shambles with politicking overiding everything else.there is no critical thinking or communication skills except spoon feeding and cram schools.There is no meeting global education standard like Singapore or China but a dumbing down of young brains.A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
