O' thou draconian devil

O how lame thy can be.....

They used it. The absurd rational behind it tickled laughters to the nation. These lame excuses is then "tai chied" (pushed) away from one party to another citing they have nothing to do with it. They punished the messenger, whislt the propreitor is set scott free merely bearing the stigma of being suspended. Is this fairness? Is this democratic?

Virgil prayers are being offered nationwide. The purpose of this prayer vigil is to open up another avenue for us to express our concerns and even protests in a peaceful (non-violent), purposeful, and prayerful manner.

"Our country enters the phase of naked display of aggression. When a regime is morally bankrupt it will use immoral means to hold on to power. We might be weak but we still have the power of prayer & silent witnessing. ... The unjust may break our bones but they can't break our spirit. " - Father O.C. Lim

They say "It takes a big man to say sorry". (http://www.thestar.com.my/columnists/story.asp?col=thestarsays&file=/2008/9/7/columnists/thestarsays/22261867&sec=The%20Star%20Says ) A macho-chavaunistic-ego-manifested person will find it hard to admit his wrong-doing, no doubts about that. It's hard to admit that when it comes to ethical standards, we do practise double sets of rules. For example, some certain blogger insulted the country by rapping his toughts and wishes via the national anthem and he gets slammed by the entire country until some would want to threaten ISA detention, jail sentence etc. etc. etc. ... even though he had publicly expressed his apologies.

And worst of all, when he publicly stated that he would not apologies, and putting the blame to others, this show what a chavaunist is, is a chavaunist can be.
I had my qualms. And I will stay on my reservation and this is what I had to say...

"Hey man, I also stand by my stance...Sorry No Cure and this one is for you.... "

RM 20 of eletricity

Hmm.. this keeps my head thinking , after couple of surveys, I was wondering, for a household in a range of RM20 or less electricity consumption, the house must be lived by ghost. Come larr.. show some sincerity... want to give, make it reasonable. I got the feeling of "suapan dari celah tangan" ( getting meagrely from between the hands). Unless the household is totally empty with the exception of lightings....maybe it can barely make it to the RM20 bracket...ok time to get rid of my water heater, air-cond, fridge, TV, fans bla bla bla

Temporary Citizen my foot!!!!

I can't helped but felt very pissed by some so-call youth leader making racial remarks about the citizenship of Malaysian Chinese. Anyone with a clear conscience would be disgusted with such irresponsible statements in a desperate attempt to woo for votes at a constituency that they knew they would probably lose (there were even thoughts of not contesting at all). This clearly shows people would do or say anything in order to get votes for their own party. This is absolutely absurd knowingly that (even as a normal person) a leader, a youth chief would be raising sensitive sentiments and that eventually angried its own "konco-konco".

Why I felt so strongly about this? I was born and bred here in Malaysia, my beloved homeland, but now it looks like I feel betrayed by "them (whom they regard themself as being the supreme)

If the "konco-konco" is still keeping mummm about what had happened, rest assure, who will defend us? Well "we" will have to turn to the people that would defend us. Fair enough, it's part and parcel of life.....

Confession of a Canto-Drama addict

I think I am sick. Last weekend I went on a drama-marathon that ran up to 10 episodes of 40 minutes, which comes up to 480 minutes, 8 hours of solid watching all nite. And worst of all I couldn't make myself to stop until all the episodes in hand had been watched. Well it all started when I had "managed" to tuck Adrian to bed after spells of bed-jumping, drawer-ransacking and poking the keys at the notebook.
I started with episode 2 (hehe I even skipped lunch just to finish 1st episode in the office) and I ended with episode 12 at about 3 am. Still I can't closed my eyes as my head is insisting to finish the remaining 4.
Dead tired and my eyes were 3 quarter closed, pathetically, I managed to crawl up to get the notebook to the bed and well enough to finish the remaining 2.
Hahaha, I did sort of finish it but I could vaguely remember the story line.
"See !!!!! What's the point" Andrew commented.
So again, I had to rewatched the last 2 again. Stupidity had caused me to waste of my effort .
So boys and girls, a lesson is well-taught here.

Then again, can't wait for the next episode.........

When the teacher fowls....

Recently news upsets me greatly. Here we are trying our best to bring up our children with instilled good morales and dignity and there an educator, a person whom we entrusted upon to bestowed knowledge to our children, making derogatory remarks about her students and calling them unflattering names. Sigh....

Teachers being the pillars of our education system has a major role in instilling vlues to our children, our future. It's very disheartening that such incident should ever happened. And above all, the teacher concerned is only being transferred? Are they anymore diciplinary action taken against her? The future of our children is at stake... http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?ile=/2008/8/6/nation/22012122&sec=nation

On the verge of poverty

How much you should earn in order for you not to be considered poor. (Defination of poor according to wiki: The poverty threshold, or poverty line, is the minimum level of income deemed necessary to achieve an adequate standard of living in a given country).
What is adequate standard of living in Malaysia ?

1) We need a car (public transportation sucks)
2) We need handphones (fix telephone line cost even more these days)
3) We need to eat , healthily if not luxuriously
4) We need to school our children (school fees nowadays has lots of extensions)
5) We need to repay our loans
6) We need to pay for our utilities expenses
&
7) We need to set aside for insurance and savings

But come to think of it, we will not able to save much these days if not depleting it.
It's even a luxury if you are able to save let alone owning a fixed deposit account.
So tell me, how poor are we now ?

I was thinking to degrade Adrian's milk from Enfagrow to something cheaper but not less nutricious. I was thinking Friso by Dutch Lady is a good choice.

So that's it, no more Nike/Adiddas shoes, you won't need to exercise that much, now that you are tightening you belt, coz eventually those celluloids will be useful at last......
