hmmm...
there are a lot of things on my mind and i dont really know where to start.
for one, a local newspaper created some contraversy recently by printing some caricatures that some people found offensive. i dont even read that newspaper, cause the paper makes my fingers dirty and it smells funny (seriously) and (no offense to the journalists) personally i think its second-rate journalism. but back to what i wanted to say, due to the fury unleashed upon the newspaper as a result of printing those caricatures, the editor or senior editor quit. an apology was issued and they had to present themselves to the authorities, all while facing the threat of having their printing permit suspended or revoked. irrespective of the fact that i dont read that newspaper (because to do so would make this personal) revoking their printing permit effectively is amputating press freedom, as though not enough parts have been chopped off already. as someone was saying in some other website, is rm1.20 every day really worth our freedom of knowledge and knowing the truth untainted of political propoganda? and is it really necessary to shut down a newspaper just cause they slipped up once?
in other news in my life, there's this really cute cat in our dorm i named Come Here Quickly. its got blue eyes and siamese markings and its so friendly. i was originally planning to bring it home with me because i think it was somebody's pet and it needs someone to take care of it. i mean, its been spayed. the other night, it tried to defend me and my friend from a dog and other cats. LITERALLY. i thought a cat with this kind of loyalty and bravery deserves a home, and i did get my parent's permission to bring it home, but i had to arrange everything myself. that means airport permit, veterinary and vaccination records, a letter to the state authorities, ministry of this that the other etc etc. just too much. so if anyone wants to adopt this cute adorable kitty, tell me. or if you have ideas on what to do..
