MERDEKA

HAPPY MERDEKA DAY 2009


DOWN WITH RACISM!

Why! Why! Tell Me Why!

After passing your driving test, you still are not happy. Why!

You may have done it the correct way and deserve better but then you also must understand that the tester cannot give you full marks or near to full marks coz he would be accused of favouritism and alleged corruption.

Try to understand the situation and do not make it complicated for yourself.

You need to change and be more accomodating to make yourself happy and not indulge in self-pitiness.

Bollywood Extravaganza

Samy Vellu and his former deputy Subramaniam has agreed to a debate on their contributions to the Indian Community.

Get ready to be entertained on Maika, Sujatha,Kuala Bala, Vell Paari and many others interesting stories.

Book early to avoid disappointment.

Only catch is that they will speak in Tamil.

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

De M says that we are celebrating our Merdeka celebration this year with the impending caning of our young lady for consuming beer in public.

Way to go. Malaysia Boleh!

Does a Dog bite its owner?

Have you seen or heard of any dog biting its owner?

Bad Habits

I am always attracted to promotional items and especially those where they offer you gifts as well.

Why ah! Anything wrong ah!

Not me alone attraced to such promotions. Many others do also.

That's why you employ marketing people to do the job.

We made it to CNN and BBC news headlines!

Malaysians always yearn for the longest, shortest, biggest, tallest, widest and what not to make it to the World Records or at least to the Malaysian Book of Records. For the past 2 days, we made it to the headlines in both CNN and BBC for proposed caning of a young lady for consuming beer in public.

The sheer thought of carrying out such punishment has cut down the holidays for the PM and he had to rush back to get the overeager authorities to defer such punishment knowing that such action would have worldwide repercussions for our country so called moderate Islamic country.

He has now asked the lady to appeal against the decision so that a revised form of punishment would be handed down to avoid such embarrasment to the country. More so, when such punishment was handed down from his home state.

Fellow Malaysians of the Muslim faith, watch your back, PAS enforcement officers from Selangor are waiting to pounce on you.

MACC, Judiciary and Police Force - dont be naughty!

Papa Federer Won!. Pirate Barrichello also won!

Roger Federer was again at his best when he captured the Cincinnati Open beating Djokovic in the final. He also played well in the Canadian tournament but unfortunately, luck was not on his side when he lost after leading 5-1 in the decider.

Looks like being a father to two little twins has made a whole lot of difference to his life and happiness.

I am also glad that Sharapova is coming back to her best also. I also wish Kim Clisters the best also.

Its also nice to see that Barrichello was on top of the podium for winning the European F1. But what happened to him. Maybe the "pirate" looks give him the change of luck he badly needs. Clean means kosong!

Ada Style!

I bought a pair of lounge suit and pants for my kid who wanted something different for his AGM night.

Sure. Dia memang ada style! Tapi berapa isi pulak......?

Alas! Goodsense prevails

The gomen must have thought about the repercussions if they went ahead with the caning of the lady for consuming beer in public.

If a precedent is being set, we would have witnessed countless numbers of high profile politicians, civil servants and cronies businessman being flogged in public, for drinking beer, whisky or brandy.

Son in law, JJ and Hishapmudin........ what a relief!

Losing the Plot

BN losing the plot in the Permatang Pasir by-election. When you have a badly tainted candidate standing for election, what can u do?

Suck up and own up. No point flogging a dead horse, rite? No?

Hated Sportsmen

1. Formula 1 Racing

Fernando Alonso ---oops! he is rumoured to be joining Ferrari

2. Tennis

Rafael Nadal

Poor Nadal! Already lost No. 1 status

3. Badminton

Lee Yong Dae and Jung Jae Sung

Give them a chance, they lost.

4. Football

Christiano Ronaldo - one stroke of genius

Hope he fails at Real Madrid.

5. Sepak Takraw

Muyhdin Botak -stupid flip-flop.


I hope I got it right, girl.

Bit Bit Embarassing

I went to settle some outstanding payments on the Indah Water bills. I wanted just to make some part payments to avoid them sending legal letters or summons to me. I hate paying Indah as no direct services were rendered to us.

I wanted to pay RM200 but when I open my wallet, all I got was only 3 RM50 notes! What to do. Pay what you have lah!

Money fairy! Money fairy! I need help.

Ah Kau Kor, Your Love-Hate Porkseller

Ah Kau Kor is the most popular pork seller in Kampong Simee market. You got to admire this guy. Despite his non-stop grumblings and sarcastic comments towards his female customers, they just love coming back time and again to buy pork from him. Not that his pork are cheaper than other stalls, he has that kind of charisma that women just love and hate to buy pork from him.

Ah Kau Kor is a nice man by nature and I believe that age is catching up with him and with no feasible "succession planning" in place.

We OK, You no OK

DPM caution MCA Ong and Dimensi Tiong over their public spat on the dirty shit spilling before the public eyes and said this would affect Barisan image.

Next, he said on investigations by MACC on Opposition, people who did no wrong should not worry.

DPM, dont worry! The show has just begun. Your machais did no wrong. Let the shit flows.....

Gomen H1N1 Fuxxed-Up Policies

We are already in the mitigation phase and this is bleady serious and gomen is reluctant to disclose H1N1 hotspots. Dont put the rakyat at risks, let them know the areas badly affected and do all that is necessary to curb the infections taking place at the affected areas. It is your moral duty to disclose the hotspots to prevent more innocent people falling victims.

Help! H1N1 getting our of control

The gomen is not doing enough to curb the spread of the H1N1 flu. It is all talk and little implementation with not much effect at all. The daily numbers of the new cases and the fatalities are increasing and it not under control and will continue to get worse.

If there is a need to wear masks, increase the supply of masks and make it easily available for the people to get and wear it. Do a wide publicity campaign over the mainstream media and set up billboards at strategic locations to inform of the dangers of H1N1.

Stop all political posturings and get moving, assholes!

Astro sucks

Astro are real suckers. I hope TM can fastrack their launch of their pay TV asap to break the monopoly of Astro.

I though Astro has a change of heart recently when they offered to me to view for free Burning Flame 3. There must be a catch somewhere - how can you get free lunch nowadays. Within a week or so, I receive a note from Astro saying that they have to increase the cost of the Astro Sports Channel due to higher operating cost. And the standard quote" Even after the increase, our cost is lower than other regional operators".

Idiots, did you mention the quality of your programme compared to other regional operators. Despite launching additonal satellites into space, we are still being served with "snow" programmes during rainy and even cloudy days.

Please get this right first or you will end up like the famous "power window" experience of Proton!

Cabbies to sue anti- ISA organiser

You fuxxxxing cabbies must be out of your mind. You are lucky that the authorities are turning a blind eye to your antics of fleecing and cheating your innocent passengers. Get a life and fuxxxx off!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Gomen to use Internet Filter

The gomen has made the right decision to use internet filter to stop undesirable websites. It is for the good of the people not to listen to alternative or opposing views of gomen policies. The mainstream media will provide us with all the relevant info for our consumption.

I for one will save some monies as I would no longer be buying any computers and will not also be subsribing for streamyx services. On top of that, CNN would also most probably be filtered out due to their worldwide coverage and the Sports Channel to be replaced by local football news to encourage more youngsters to play the game and to improve spectator interest due to the massive decline in supporters over the last few years. I would also consider stopping Astro services as there would not be many interesting channels to watch.

The monies saved would be used to subscribe for Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia newspapers to learn more about racial harmony and hope that my children will have a better future in the country.

Victoria Beckham- Judge on American Idol!

My God! Victoria Beckham being a judge on American Idol. Fox Entertainment must be very desperate with the fall in ratings that they are considering bringing in "stars" as guest judges to boost ratings. With due respect, Victoria is good for "display" only and her popularity stems from her being part of the Spice Girls and not as a lead singer.

Not surprising, you would see " one stroke of genius" Ronaldo or Federer being invited as guests on the show.

Poor Paula! They said they offered you an improved pay package but so are the other judges on the panel but I think you have enough of the derecognition given you after all these years on the show.

Mr. Gold ( The Little Mouse)

Everytime I look at my car and the peeling paint at the top, I get very upset. When I sent it for repainting to Mr. Gold, he promised that he would do a good job and gives me premium quality paint. Hardly two years had gone and the paint has started peeling. I can accept mistakes but I cant stand cheats. This little mouse can sometimes make you look silly.

Generally he is ok. Without doubt, he has rendered his assistance over many occasions in the past but why cant he lived up to his promise every time.

Am I demanding? Probably yes -I only pay for genuine value added services. I dont like to be taken for a ride.

A(H1N1) Flu Updates

Breaking News!

MOH has informed that recent testing of flu-like illness confirm that almost 95% of the cases are caused by the H1N1 virus.

Doctors would only prescribe symtomatic relief medication like panadol and cough mixture and recommend self quarantine. ( No tongue wrestling and pinball putting allowed!)

70% do not need any anti-viral medications like Tamilflu or Relenza. Only severe cases need to be referred to hospitals for further treatment.

Note: Those having difficulty of getting Tamilflu medicine, please refer to MIC or Samy Vellu. They hold the franchise. For Penang residents, unless the High Chapparal issue is solved, Samy will not give any more Tamilflu tablets as a revenge for destroying Indian Heritage settlement.

Paula Quits American Idol

My sympathies goes to Paula Abdul. After so many years, I believe it was a heart-breaking decision to call it quits after being a part of the top draw show. But man, you have pride and how long can you tolerate discrimination by your show producers.

Simon Cowell was paid about US48 million per season, Ryan Seacrest US15 million and Paula got only US4 million. Thats peanuts - dont make a monkey out of her!

Paula has got more to offer than Simon but I do agree that Simon is the key to the show.

I gonna miss her seductive looks and her big boobs!

Early Morning Blues

In the past week or so, there are too many suckers making provocative and inflammatory statements both in the online and mainstream media and it is shocking that the gomen has kept quiet and not doing anything about it and on the other hand trying to get the message across to the rakyat on the many good virtues of the propaganda slogan of "1 Malaysia".

There are many Malaysians across all ethnic groups who are well educated enough to think for themselves what is right or wrong, fair or unfair. Please dont treat us as idiots.

On another note, we find that many highly educated intellectuals are preaching what they do and not doing what they preach. Its high time such idiots stop being hypocritical and have a life.

Diaphragm Breathing

I am trying diaphragm breathing to reduce my stress levels. The slow breathing process let you feel that the air is going in when you breathe in and when you exhale, it gives you a relaxing sensation when you expel carbon dioxide from your body. They asked that you do it once when you wake up and another time when you go to sleep.

Dont know whether by practising more that the recommended times, will it do more harm or good to the body.

Hardware Anniversay Dinner

I thought I would not be invited to this year's dinner after giving my proposal to one of my clients.

I was informed of my invitation for the dinner on August 21, 2009.

This year's dinner is suppossed to be the 70th anninversary dinner and is to be held at the Syuen Hotel.

Banning Alcohol in Selangor

How can you imagine banning alcohol in Selangor! It is not only ridiculous, it is totally absurd.

Come on, my friends, control the culprits, dont target the businessman.

What the Chinese said: " If the cow does not want to drink water, how can you force it".

Dont next target massage parlours. I will die standing!

Not that I would patronise them, this is what Ipoh is famous for and is one of the key drivers of the Ipoh economy.

Tomato Sauce! Tomato Sauce!

I found out today that the five bottles of Maggi tomato sauce that I bought sometime back had expired! What happened? I dont know what to say and I am really cheesed off by it. This looks something like penny wise and pound foolish. You know it is not always that some of your favourite things are offered for sale and when there is a sale, you tried to stock some up. But how do you control such stocks- maybe there is a need to have some stock control cards done up. Anyway its good to apply some knowledge learn during college days. What is the point of learning and not applying what you learn, rite?

Dont you thing you agree with me that such sauce should be placed on the dining table and not in the refrigerator. What you see, you will use. What you dont see, you dont use.

Anyway, the dining table should only be used for eating and not for books, rite?

I thing we got to get this matter sorted out.

There goes my RM10.

1 Malaysia hitting the brick wall

Utusan and Berita Harian newspapers are doing their best to counteract the promotion of ! Malaysia by the gomen.This is being reflected in the narrow views perpetrated by their journalists thru racism and labelling gomen institutions such as police, judiciary and the MACC as Malay institutions and that any challenge to such institutions on their integrity and dignity are considered as challenging Malay rights!

Racists journalists, please wake up. We are not stupid and dont show us your stupidity.

Window Shopping

Lately, I have been doing some window shopping on my own- and window shopping means no buying! Being a "horse" means I have to look like, behave like and be seen as a horse and horses seldom lie around doing nothing.

So what I gonna do is to spend some time in the evening, after dinner, walking around shopping complexes, hypermarkets or pasar malams to window shop. At shopping complexes, I would browse for interesting reads or look at items like tools, gadgets, accessories, and kitchenette articles that really fascinate me as to the convenience that such things bring. Its amazing what technology has brought to us and no wonder I heard over the radio this morning that our country rank among the top in Asia based on the obesity of its population.

It is good way to help me to burn some fats away and I always feel better and less stressful after such "shopping ventures".

1 Malaysia. What is it?

According to a recent survey, here are the results:-

(i) 40% dont know what is 1 Malaysia

(ii) 40% something to do with unity

(iii) the balance all sorts of definition

My friend just called and asked whether I want to eat "1 curry mee".

I called my remiser and he answered " 1 remiser speaking..."

What more can you do?

Me and my other half are at our wits trying to impress upon our kid to make full use of the golden opportunity given by the gomen for him to further his education. From what we had gathered, the gomen has agreed that all students who have been given this opportunity will be sponsored for whatever courses approved by them at local public universities and selected private universities, and also at prestigious universities including Ivy League universities overseas, if they managed to get accepted into such universities. How often do you get such offers! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it is better than striking a lottery. That is why we spent so much time to lobby for it and also took the effort to go all the way to Putrajaya to do it personally. Credit should be given to my other half for her untiring and relentless effort to chase for it and this is something I admire about her.

We have seen time and again that 'bright' students with straight A's have not been given scholarships and places in universities to pursue their choice of courses and a dream career. Our gomen practise a certain degree of bias in the award of scholarships and 'who you know' is critical in the selection process. But sometimes due to circumstances, the gomen do provide some 'cheers' to soothe protesting public demands, especially close to election times.

What do you do when such scholarships are given, and especially two years ahead of entering universities. IT GIVES YOU A TWO YEARS PERIOD TO PLAN AND WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS. How many people are so lucky! Thousands of other students are studying for their exams not knowing where, which and what universities they are going to and on top of that, whether they have the financial means to do it.

So please 'find info' on which are the prestigious universities being recognised by the gomen and what are the application procedures and the respective timelines for application and acceptance. An executive summary of your application timetable would be a basic need in this instance. You would also need to have a preview of the courses offered and shortlist your few preferred courses and thereafter, you need to get the gomen to confirm whether such courses would be acceptable to them. There is no point in applying into courses which are not acceptable to the gomen as they would be the financiers of your studies.

We really hope that he would take the lead and we can then provide him with the necessary back-up support. He should also understand that what he needs to do now will benefit him much in the near future.

Please understand that this is nothing compared to what you need to do when you are into your working life. Your superiors may push many assignments to you to take advantage of you and at the end of it, to reap the fruits of your labour when there are rewards.

So please do the needful. You will be the main beneficiary of your own responsibilities and your future is all in your hands. We can only do as much though we would like to do more.

A laughter a day

Priest lost his chicken and asked during mass:

"Anyone got a cock?"

All men rose.

"I meant anyone seen a cock?"

All women rose.

"I mean anyone seen my cock?"

All nuns rose.

Dear Hosts, where are you?

I attended a dinner last night in Kampar in honour of a friend's mother grand birthday. When we reached the restaurant at about 7pm, which was the time given to us, the hosts were not around to greet guests arriving for the dinner. They only managed to turn up a good half an hour after the stated time. Talking about bad organisation, this is surely one of the golden picks. Though it was not difficult to identify the place, as hosts I think it is plain courtesy for one of the hosts to be around to guide the incoming guests.

Putting aside the unpleasant episode, the food was fairly good and there was a genuine concern to give a good meal to the guests.

The occasion also gives me an opportunity to meet many friends whom we have not met for a very long time, some for more than 20 years.
