What does it mean to be a young Malaysian?

Thoughts...jeez, don't just easily erase it will you! PC can be so..jeez..

Anyway, back to what I was saying- for some unknown reason, I'm just pissed by what this PC did of erasing what I've typed!- I want to say that I'm proud and glad that I'm a MALAYSIAN...and a young one to get it to the point.

For me, being a young Malaysian means those are the ones who, someday will be the leader, the occupants of this piece of land- and the ones who will carry the torch and dreams of previous leaders of bringing prosperous and acknowledgement of the country internationally as an ecomically strong and peaceful Malaysia.

Mataka~...my 'definition' of a young Malaysian sounds too patriotic?

I must say, even when I don't know how to express my love to this country, even if I'm not born here, I felt even stronger of these feelings in my chest how I relate to this country. I love how family ties are stronger here compare to the West, I love how we have religions and beliefs that makes us who we are unlike most Japanese, I love how we preserve nature and we don't have natural disaster destroying homes and killing our love ones and how we love peacefulness- unlike those countries who are suffering of natural disaster, and living on a contiminated piece of land and having all sorts of problems regarding races, akin colours and wealth. Well- simply said, we're just so blessed with a wonderful and strategic piece of land and shouldn't we appreciate it and carry on the 
torch from the precious leaders to preserve it for the upcoming generation?

I can very well tell, a lot of people doesn't really think about what it really means to be a Malaysian and to tell the truth, I had never do so too. That was until I experienced Japan first hand and to meet a lot of people from various countries where I have to explain where I come from. It was hard to explain Malaysia- because to say it goegraphically, I'll say it's in between Singapore and Thailand and then the foreign students will have an idea of where Malaysia is and after seeing how am I, then, they have a general idea of how a Malaysian is. Was it hard? I mean, to be in a place where no one has any idea of Malaysia? Yes- because I'll need to explain myself in every way. I'm glad though, because for me, it's he chance for me to promote Malaysia- no, I'm not a travel agent's daughter- but to be put in a situation when I have to be representative of my own country, I think I behave best.... though, it's merely my upbringing and just my way of life which I stick on with my beliefs and carry on with it.

But to be in Malaysia- even if we have 'limited' freedom, and we don't hear from the two sides of the nominated parties, and  there're chairs flying in the MIC meeting or even there are students who objects the AUKU- don't we have a peaceful life here? Yes, I do want to travel the world and from what I can see, there are those who also wants to be in the same boat as I am, but that is something that makes you appreciate Malaysia better- you'll see how Japanese women are discriminate against, you'll see how shallow some Latin Americans can be when dealing with people from the same continent even when they speak the same language. I don't know if bringing down a country would make me or others realise how much they love their country, furthermore, I love Japan and I have a lot of Latin American friends and this came from what I've read and observe, still, regardless all this comments, I love Malaysia better than the UK itself-coz I was born there... Coz I have a lot of good Chinese friends like Susan and Yen Woa, I have my Malay  friends who always reminds me of who I am and my beliefs like Ili and Nisa, and I have my lovely family who are still expanding bigger and bigger- nearly 300 people already...or more? And I have nice lecturers who helps me in practically everything. We say 'thank you' and we probably a bit bias about being nice to foreigners- that I think, depends of people and how they think coz for me, I don't see any logic of it.

So...erm... long enough huh? Jeez...ood think I'm sick and couldn't thought...or is it my nature of not putting up hands, because the discussion we had was great...
