the quest...eh?

It's been two months now since me PC kick the bucket. Am reduced to secretly using the office PC. Looking over me shoulder every so often. It's politically incorrect but hey, am no angel. Can't afford to get it fixed. Let alone buy me a new one. Them leaders had told us every second day to change our lifestyles. And am trying to do just that. Reckon in a month or so, all the lawns in the neighbourhood would be converted to herb gardens. Or rows of eggplants or tomatoes. Those fortunate enough to afford a corner lot could even start rearing chickens or maybe goats. Goat milk is definitely better than the melamine laden Chinese imports.

But why do I suddenly see a surge in the latest BMWs and other European marques on our roads? Why do I still see people with trolleys full of goodies at Jusco checkout counters? Don't they read the news? Don't they know that they should change their lifestyles? Don't they feel the need to curb their conspicuous spending and extravagance if only to emphatise with us little people? And why do Astro still show those lifestyles of the filthy rich and the famous? Just to irritate us poor sods? To rub salt onto our wounds? To spite us some?

Life is definitely no fun when you're broke. And it's definitely no fun when your corrupt leaders go around telling you to change your lifestyle and brace for the uncertainties ahead while they enrich themselves and their cronies at our expense.

Mebbe this song can sooth me aching heart some...

I’m leaving tonight
Going somewhere deep inside my mind
I close my eyes slowly
Flowin’ away slowly
But I know I’ll be alright
It’s coming stronger to me
And I know someone is out there
Lead the way
Lead the way
Show me the answers I need to know

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that

All my life/love it is
It is all my love
All my life/love it is
I know it is a life to live lately
From above I hear
I hear the sound of them sinkin’
I feel numb, I’m alive
I know I’m getting closer

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that

My life has had it’s share of troubles
And now I found a place to go
I’ve said goodbye to all my troubles
’cause now I’ve find my place to go

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that
