Kill the HYPE, Please

Currently listening to “I Do” by “Ilaria Graziano”
Currently desperately trying to end holiday nicely

We managed to send a Malaysian too space. BIG DEAL.

Seriously, KILL THE HYPE. I feel disgusted with all these hype.

Ok. Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor managed to pass all the training and stuff. Good for him. Something he can be proud of, but not to the level where Malaysians gather at Dataran Merdeka just to see him thrown off to space. If we have 1 trillion to spend, we can send A LOT of “space tourists”, is that a major achievement?

I like the fact that he managed to complete the training. Something we can be proud of, although there’s thousands of us will also pass the training if given the chance. I don’t like the fact that Malaysia is treating this as a major achievement for the nation.

I was at kampung watching this special TV shows with TV host who looked like they phailed their SPM. Uttering nonsense, keep on repeating the same “general facts” over and over again, and pretend to be impressed when their interviewees throw jargons at them.

Sending/Paying someone to space it’s not a big deal. Why is everybody keep on forgetting the fact that he’s hitchhiking a Russian vessel? We are paying someone to help us send a crew up there and talk big about it? Is that a really big deal? Sounds like we are trying to show off to the Singaporeans that we are more advanced than them.

Why can’t we stop spending money on asking someone to send our people to space, and use that money to develop our own tech? It really sounds like this country is a big “glory-hunter” without making pain efforts. Let’s not go to far as sending someone to space straight away. Let’s just start building our own vessel to send satellites, just like other countries. We are not helping the world at all.

Malaysian keep on saying “they’re more advanced” as an excuse not to develop our own space tech. What’s the point of saying “they are far more advanced” as an excuse if we are not even trying to push our tech? The Japanese push their own tech, the Indians push their own tech and even the Indonesians are pushing their own tech. Even mere civilians push their own tech to the space participating the Ansari X Prize.

This country is run by bunch of idiots. We can’t even have proper internet here. Ditched the proposed mag-lev train system. Can’t even make proper cars. Horrible government websites. And much more.

GAWD. Kill the HYPE, please. Grieve on our government’s financial waste. They could use the money to feed hungry people.

PS: My stolen slippers deserves more HYPE!
