CELEBRATING POSITIVITY IN LIFE. FOR BEAUTY, SUCCESS AND LOVE.

Love freely, give freely

Love freely, give freely
"The Free-Love Flag: please take care of your friends"

Still a smooth move, in my opinion

COLOURS OF MY MALAYSIA
Warna Warna Malaysiaku

[Performed by Siti Nurhaliza and others; released by ASTRO]

SINCE THIS WHOLE ANGKASAWAN CONTROVERSY HAS INSPIRED ME TO HAVE MALAYSIA BUILD HER OWN ROCKET, I MUST SAY THE PROGRAMME WAS NOT SUCH A BAD IDEA, RIGHT?

Come on, people, let's take advantage of this government initiative and the public debate that surrounds it. Use the criticism and the words of cynics to bolster ourselves in our drive to achieve something praiseworthy. To me, the National Spaceman Programme is an incentive, and it has instilled in my sister a passion for orthopaedics and astro-science.

ONE THING: If I were to be part of a thousand-men team building Malaysia's first passenger-carrying rocket, I would not suggest constructing such a colossal vessel without Russian, American or Chinese help. It'll be even more a waste of taxes if we were to go solitary on rocket-building and thereafter witness an explosion on the launchpad. Imagine the look on the Sarawakians' faces.....that is if we build in one of Sarawak's severely-deforested areas....

AND ONE MORE THING: It's PERFECTLY OKAY that the first MALAYsian in space is a MALAY. This is Malaysia (underline, underline!), for goodness' sake! The Chinese are already well-represented by PRC's space programme, which birthed the Shenzhou spacecraft, the Long March series of vehicles and the first taikonaut Yang Liwei. India also has significant launch capacity. So why don't we now give our Malay friends a chance to do something exciting?
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Would we expect the Soviets to send the first Soviet citizen into space, and not have him/her be a Russian? Or the first Chinese taikonaut to be a Kurd, Pashtun or Siberian? Would it be appropriate of a Nigerian, Englishman or Japanese living as a citizen in South Korea to represent the country as 'first Korean astronaut' (if there isn't one already)? OYJ

Negaraku – the land on which we sweat and toil.
This is our life: we forge onward as one!
Blessings abound, bestowed by God above.
We want our King, to rule and reign in peace.

ANTHEM OF SANARIA

O Sanaria gold,
Our Sanaria glory,
Our hope an’ our joy
Our home!

Here is where the wisdom of the ancients
Overflows, overflows
Unto science and art and nature!

Here is where the wisdom of the ancients
Overflows, overflows
Our realm of love and revelation.
Sustain our lives forever!


[Music: Saban]

Adopted as the provisional Anthem of Sanaria on Nov 1, 2007 by the singular decision of the First Sanarian Pioneer.

I don't know much, but I know I must do these things:

1) Meet the needs and desires of my friends
2) Don't belittle people, but find ways to uplift them
3) Solve people's problems, walk into their lives; don't condemn them and leave them to dirt
4) Save people from danger
5) Support medical work to build a safer world, and use natural remedies more often
6) Explore my sexuality and be aware of its potential. Encourage everyone to do the same.
7) Rejoice when people are happy doing things that they love and that aren't harmful or damaging
8) Let children learn lots and lots of things, and teach them to be kind, sweet, gentle and honest
9) Don't hurt or harm people in any way, unless you have to stop them hurting or harming other people
10) Use tact, sweetness and logic in solving conflicts and disputes
11) Be thoughtful, kind and considerate; let love go around and come around. Don't make people hate life.
12) I have loads to learn from others, so I must be humble, teachable and patient. Arrogance and an exuberant ego ain't love.
13) Listen to and follow advice that is meant to sustain you and provide for your own good
14) There is pain and suffering in this world, because we do loads of foolish things, do not love each other enough, do not love the planet enough
15) Science has the answers, but we wield it stupidly. We should be more careful.
16) Sustain life, don't snuff it
17) Work hard, run the economy and take care of the environment so that love and sex can persist

...and last but not least...

18) I have a Maker (a Creator) and I'm here for a purpose: to meet someone else's needs. Each person has this sort of purpose.
19) I'm looking for the true 'God', and
20) I am a sexual being, and so is everyone else, girl and boy.

ARIGATO. ^.^
