A Summery Feeling

A lifestyle and summery feeling from the view of a Journalism college student.

think before you talk

A lot of people thought they know everything but actually they know nothing. Malaysian are very nice people, but sometimes they like to talk about things they don't know or things they think they know but actually they don't. It is like the malay say"a frog under the coconut shell". The world has changed and is still changing very fast. Many things have happened which they don't know. It's saddened me to see this, especially when the people who say this are my friends.

Take for example, my country--China. Over the last ten years, we are now one of the world most powerful economic forces. Our average income is higher than Malaysian, especially the coastal cities, like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Zhuhai. However, many malaysians still think that China is a big kampung! China will soon be the host of the Olympic games, so it tells you what kind of country we have become.

So, my dear Malaysian friends, don't think that China is still very backwards.In fact, for many chinese people, Malaysia is developing very slow.

I am saying this not because I want to insult my Malaysian friends, but I just want to make my point that before you say something you should at least check the facts.

If you don't believe me, welcome to next Olympic game in Beijing at 2008. Hope you won't lose the way back to your Kampung.
