Should race be included in official forms?

Why are people in Malaysia wasting time debating if race should be included in official forms? Does it make any difference?

Even if you exclude that from official form, do you think you can avoid the government or any agency dealing with your form from knowing what race you are?

When you fill Muhammad Ali bin Abu as your name, of course you are a Malay. When you fill Chong Ah Beng, of course you are a Chinese and when you fill Samivellu a/l Saravanan, of course you are an Indian! So why bother wasting time over that stupid subject?!?!?!

random stuff...

i was watching a pretty old tvb drama and i heard a story which i find pretty meaningful...

one day, a puppy ask his mom, "where can i find happiness?" his mom answered, "happiness is right at the tip of your tail." the puppy try to get happiness, so it keeps running after his tail, but can never get it... and hence he complain to his mom... the mommy dog told him, "try not to go after it. you just need to keep walking forward, and happiness will follow..."

i find it really meaningful....

Can you read this?

I was trying to download something and when you download from megaupload.com, they will make you enter the code shown on screen, to make sure that you are sane I guess.

Anyway, I never have any problem figuring out the 4 alpha-numeric code even though some are a little complicated, not until I see this....

Can anyone figure out what that is? Or is it just my eyes that's aging and getting worse?

Well I did figure that out a while later, it took more more than half minute, where normally it took me less than 1 second (or 2 for those more complicated one). So, guess what that is...

The actual code is......
