It has been awhile since I last posted anything. God forgive, I have been really out-of-thought on what to write for awhile. It's not that I'm busy. I'm mostly free honestly. In fact, I'm pretty much stuck here in my own town in a three week-long holiday not going anywhere for a fresh breath of air. (Unless you consider going to visit your brother in another state as a holiday, well that's the only salvation for me I guess.)
So I've decided to tell you people how wrong our priorities can get. To quote an example, I should be on holiday, not stay at home. That's how a priority gone wrong. To quote a better example, Malaysia, in general has got its priority REALLY wrong. In fact, it's not just Malaysia, I believe the whole world is. Still clueless on what I'm speaking about? I'm blabbering about the World Cup fever!
It isn't as eminent yet, to see the fever striking youths here. I mean, I haven't seen any betting going on yet. But the again, don't you people think it's pretty silly for 20 people to chase after a single ball? Okay, I'm not delving into the silliness of football, so a thousand apologies for that statement. Let me get back to Malaysia first.
During the period of Uber and Thomas Cup, I literally saw NO adverts on the idiot box showing or depicting our national hero in action or practically anything related to badminton. Seriously? I mean, look at us! We're like, PARTICIPATING in Uber and Thomas and there's almost nil advertisements on it. Nil propaganda to make us cheer on our Malaysian team! The only feedback was, "Oh, he did well. He should work on his footwork." and that's it. And giving ourselves a small pat on the back, we consoled ourselves that we've been and DID support the country in Uber and Thomas.
BUT when it comes to World Cup... Something that Malaysians are not even participating.. we have gazillions of adverts on it, not to mention that stupid advertisement of Malaysians dancing as if they have cramps on their feet in Astro. That's gotta be like the WORST advertisement I've ever seen. Astro seems fond of making stupid advertisements at times. And it's a sad fact that we are paying to watch it.
I mean, honestly, don't you think we've got our priorities REALLY wrong on this one? Food for thought.
