What a Wonderful World
Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I watch 'em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....warm sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin'.. how do you do
They're really sayin'......I love you
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin'.. how do you do
They're really sayin'...I ....LOVE....YOU
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
You know their gonna learn a whole lot more than I'll never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world

Louis Armstrong recorded this song in 1968, it was his last big hit

at this very moment im grunting and moaning cause i have to start studying again for my last paper..just cant recover enough energy and enthusiasm to start staring at the screen for the noble course of education..neymind that ..i'll talk about something else

for the past few weeks the world has been shaken by a controversy caused by the depiction of Prophet Muhammad pbuh in a Danish paper..to me at first those people are downright shameless,insensitive and wicked and they sure had something up their sleeves.recently a lot of discussion between muslims and the danish authority has been going on..and it proved that human naturally love peace and harmony..and that fact calmed my outrage to a much lesser extent.but my scepticism is still there..a lot of the time i feel like people in the world just wanna hurt us muslims at any cost..but when i stop and think..im truly convinced that many of their action and reaction towards us stems from fear...fear of the unknown and the mystery a muslim behold..why do we pray or fast or cover our heads with scarf?why are we so obedient?fear that we are the ones who's gonna threaten and harm them.i wish i could make them see..but as i discussed about belief with Val..to turn around one's belief is not a simple task..it's just like u believe all ur life the fire is hot without ever touching it ,how would u change that?..my landlord once came to collect the rent and myself and niesa were both in our telekung and niesa was sitting writing an email in front of her laptop.Bill told us that was quite a sight...'u looked traditional and modern at the same time'..it struck me that eventhough it is a very normal scenario for us muslims..others might find it amusing..and i found a beauty in that..

havent been out to town for quite sometime..and i thought people might act differently to muslims now since the news kept showing and discussing the issues of the Prophet's caricature.on my way back from Mater..an elderly irish gentleman said 'selamat datang' to me on the no 10 bus.it was a pleasant suprised..and we started chatting.he told his story of meeting a supernice malaysian lady doctor who treated him 4 years ago.and how he loved malaysian gardens..as we chat along i realised..the relationship of human beings could surpass all bounderies of nationality,religion,ethnicity or any differences for that matter...cause deep down inside we humans have love in our hearts..and the second our hands parted from a firm grasp of goodbye..my heart sang this song by Louis Armstrong...and my worries put to rest..plus he said I am a very beautiful Malaysian lady..and of course all Malaysian ladies are * huge giant grin *..
