Its good to have a Cause, don't you think?

It's good to have a Cause. Now, what one's Cause may be is left to one's discretion; but it IS nice to have one.

A Cause is something you stand up for. It is something you rally for; a worthy reason for you to put all your best efforts into. A Cause gives you an aim, a goal or a focus. A Cause is potentially something that will consume every fibre of your being and make you an advocate of sorts.

I have a Cause. I want to save Taman Melawati Hill. I am just one small person (figuratively, o'course, not literally, my dear friends, because seriously, the last time I heard the word 'small' used on me was concerning my brain) in the fight against the greedy developers who want to LEVEL the hill to make way for ugly hard concrete, but DAMN I will try.

I pledge to wear the T-shirt as often as I possibly can (without sacrificing hygiene; but I may get some stronger reactions if I smell bad...hmm... that gives me ideas...) and indirectly publicize this issue. I also pledge to write something that will truly do justice to the lovely place I call home. I refuse to let Melawati become another PJ or Shah Alam; where all you see is stone and mortar and miserable-looking shrubs that wilt and droop as if they didn't get enough water or McD's ice-cream. Truly miserable is the situation in many cities and towns where every morning brings the fresh waft of eau-de-carbon-bloody-monoxide. Melawati is one of those rare areas where trees are still in existence.

Some call it Development. I call it DESTRUCTION.

And so I persevere. I will talk to as many people as I can and get this article going as best I can. And thanks to J for helping me out with pics (I be a camera-retard) and for not bailing out on me (unlike a certain someone). THANK YOU!!! :)

I do NOT like people who FFK, especially for something such as money. If you be FFK-ing me for something like you broke your collarbone or your dog has a surgery or your parents decided that they simply MUST dress you up in Gothic Lolita clothes or whatever, I'd totally understand. Money? (and not THAT much to boot) Nuh uh.

I also have another Cause. I must see John Travolta in drag. And not just ANY drag (cause we've seen that a dozen times) but a FAT SUIT drag. He's got a fat suit on. This I HAVE to see. And besides, I like musicals. There is also the lead actress; whatshername... can't quite recall.. but I wanna see her. I like the look of her already.

I have just one last Cause. I must finish every single Warcraft campaign. I am onto the Undead campaign now and it is kind of hard for me; since me be a noob and all. I am not ashamed to admit I used 'whosyourdaddy' a few times when things looked bleak. Someday I WILL finish it without a single cheat.

For now, my tummy is full from Grilled Chicken Foldover, the toilet is sparkling clean, I've done most of the house chores and what's left can be comfortably procrastinated, and so for the next few hours I am content.

I think I'll play a little Warcraft. We shall meet again when I have finished ravaging the elven lands.
