I wasn't intending on blogging not because I don't have anything to blog about but because there's just so many things that I don't even know where to begin.
Well, this post was sparked off by a news article that I read couple of days back. Not an old school news but a pretty fresh one.
"Muslims in Malaysia may be barred from practising yoga if they engage in Hindu 'religious elements' during the exercise, a top Islamic cleric said yesterday."Why?
That's my only question. Yoga is seen as a form of 'exercise' and way to de-stress and relax. How would that affect your religion unless you yourself know that you can be swayed to another religion.
If you think repetition of 'OM' will affect your religion then go and do other forms of yoga. Not all use the word 'Om'. I find this argument baseless and the ban really unnecessary. It just doesn't make any sense. Some people are just so free to sit down and pick on stuffs that is so trivial.
Again, I repeat, I am not against the Muslim/Malay religion but I just cannot agree with the decision made to ban Yoga.
I realized that this year had some really nonsensical news like barring of women to buy vegetables like cucumber in markets, cartoons accused of promoting of bisexual relationship in
like Spongebob and Sesame Street. Sheesh.
Anyways, I have been real busy with my school and work. I just don't even have time to breathe. Now I am having intensive classes with the RMIT lecturers which takes up 3 weekdays and 1 full weekend, Sat, from 9am to 5pm. And it's going to be like that until May '09 after which will be taken by the local lecturers.
The lecturer I am having now is very disoriented. She just can't simplify her terms properly and always ends up confusing us even more. I have a project presentation due on Monday, class test on Thurs and essay assignment due on Dec 15. God bless me. After that, I am having my much awaited holidays from Dec 4 all the way to Jan 5. Yay! Not forgetting the essay due date on the 15th. Sighs!
My mom has watched Vaaranam Aayiram with her sister!! How sad. Hopefully I get to watch it this Sun with the girls. And, I am meeting my babyboo tomorrow after god knows how long. And I can predict that for the next 2 years, we won't be meeting that often cause we will be buried in school work. Hahaha.
I have loads of photos to upload but decided not to. Those who are in my facebook can view all the recent pictures. And and and, that's it. I am gonna knock off from work soon.
Can't wait!!
