What's a rubbish bin?

I was driving home after having a good night out with my friends, when I stopped at a traffic light. Not long after that, another car stopped next to me, and when I turned to look, I felt strange, as the driver and his girlfriend gave me a look as if something was wrong. I thought it was my car headlights, so I checked. They were on.
Before I knew it, the driver in the next car opened his car door, and conveniently dropped a string of prayer flowers (taken from around his rearview mirror) on the road.
Furious, I honked at the driver, and when the two of them looked up at me, I pointed at the flower, indicating they were littering (if they didn't already know) and told them to pick it up.
They did nothing but stare at me, with the cheek to look annoyed, as if I was in the wrong.
Alas, the lights turned green, and we took off. The string of flowers were left on the road either for the cleaners to pick up, or more likely, for the next car to roll over it and smear the flower bits onto the road.
Shocking as it may sound, such incidences are not uncommon. I've seen rojak plastic bags being dumped from the car in the middle of daylight with twenty other cars surrounding it, and garbage bags left inside parking lots.
This guy was in his mid twenties.
The next generation of people who will spearhead the country, the generation of supposed "intellectuals" who complain about the government, and the same generation whose children will suffer the consequences of their actions.
Indeed, whether they admit it or not, many Malaysians still live with the mentality of a third world country.
The guy could do it in front of his girlfriend, who not only allowed for it to happen, but was even on his side when he was confronted. What then, would they teach their children?
The irony of it all, it wasn't really rubbish he was littering. It was religious flowers used for prayer. Surely, his god wouldn't know.

Newfound love


If you liked fairytales as a child, this is one series you should not miss out on.
Puppy love entwined with the magical world, Laurel is forced to choose between two worlds. To make things more exciting, a movie on Wings will be coming out soon! So grab hold of these books and don't forget to share. Pass it round, as it will be a good read for any teenager and anyone past that stage.

Just an optical Illusion

Apparently the editor of The Economist has decided to give in to aesthetic priorities. Or was it really that simple?

Gone were the days where journalism ethics are kept in place. Working magic in images with only a few clicks of a mouse, a picture sure speaks a thousand words. The question is, are the words genuine? If The Economist can get away with something like that, it's scary to think what other publications are doing.
