PSA !

I snapped this pic when I was on the Star LRT. He he I didn't do this but I wish I did =p Whats wrong with it anyway? This Sign looks way way cooler than them old skool ones! Dontcha think? Which brings me to my point... why do we have to let go of aesthetics values for practicality? The two can be married and live happily ever after like in Japan. Checkout these manhole covers... don't they leave you gob smacked? Why are we so rigid?

Which brings me to something else...we are so exposed to regime since we were children. Line up, stand at ease, sit, stand, keep quiet... and so on. We dare not ask questions even. We are a community who doesn't express themselves for fear of 'what others may say/think'. This is a syndrome...a syndrome that has to be cured. You may argue that nowadays the youngsters especially the urban are expressing themselves widely through arts and music and such. But have u been to a concert in Malaysia? The crowd is awfully well behaved...too well behaved that they need to be summoned for in appropriate behavior! Yes. It is inappropriate to sit and watch while DejaVoodooSpells is rockin out in front! Yes. It is inappropriate that you only stand up when Missy Elliot walks right up to you and practically begs you to stand up and enjoy the music. What? Are we robots? Even a robot can be programmed to have fun! But worst of all the artist in front would be feeling sooooo de-motivated. Its just a sad sight that needs to be mended.


Of course not everyone falls into the same category. But if u are the kind who is on your seat instead of your feet when Sayla,TRS,DEP, is doin thier thing... u better better stand up! Show them some love yow! And don't be afraid to just let go.... feel free to express yourselves. if u just cant cos u are a robot then programme yourself to have fun! For the sake of progress at least. expression = progress. What is the point of bottling up anyway?


To sum it up, I would say it's time we taught the younger generation and each other about expressing ourselves. Im not talking about expressing your anger by vandalizing public spaces or wadeva. Just be yourself and do not be afraid to shine!

We will go along way by marrying the arts and sciences because they were married anyway but we thought were so smart and separated them. They naturally belong together and together they will bring us progress as individuals and a nation.
