Light hearted

Time for a good laugh! Just love these cartoons, especially Mr Visa. Anyone out there got any jokes to share?

How lucky we are!

Notice how we are never satisfied with what we have? We always want a bigger house, a better car, eat better food and even drink better beer or wine. We are always complaining. Just found out the sorry plight of one of the cleaners in my apartment.

This lady's husband,who is a lorry driver, had just met an accident recently and is paralysed waist down. He made a SOCSO claim for insurance but was turned down for some technicality. How cruel! They have four school-going children with the eldest one at 12 years old. They are now depending on her salary which is a miserly RM650 a month. Also found out that they are renting a house for RM300. Which leaves RM350 for everything else!!! How do they manage? And yet this quiet, unassuming Indian lady goes on with her job without fuss. Found out from the other cleaners that she is actually having a tough time getting basic necessities and is applying for welfare from a few associations but has failed.

I have decided to actually raise some money among family and friends and help a fellow M'sian in need. Will then go get canned food, basic necessities and others from Tesco and send it to her home.

So everyone, be thankful for what you have and spare a thot for some who are really in need. I know I will.

Go Holland Go 2!!!!

Whoopeeeee!!!!! This Euro has really given us plenty of games of high quality and last nite's Holland-France was another one. Altho the 4-1 victory for Holland may say otherwise, but it was a well-balanced game. France played pretty well too. Bravo Holland as you once again showed what attacking football was all about. And please don disappoint your loyal supportes like me once again by screwing it up in the knockout stages. Romania did well too by holding Italy to a draw. I had predicted in the beginning that the current world champions and runners-up could get knocked out in this Group of Death and it is starting to materialise! What a great game football is! Can't wait for Sweden-Spain later 2nite!

Pool or snooker?

Had a long discussion with a friend of mine yesterday with regard to both pool and snooker. He only plays pool while I am oklah at both. He insists that pool is a much tougher game compared to snooker. His reasoning? According to him, when he plays pool, he is always a "little high"(In his own words) or completely drunk altogether! Good reasoning, I thot!!!!! And then he adds, on top of that, since pool tables are always in bars, he has to use one eye to concentrate on pretty women around the pool table!!! That leaves him with just 50% sight on top of being "High"! I said ok, you win! Can't argue with that!

I happened to catch the Asian pool League that was shown on ESPN recently. It was good but what amazed me was the prize money. The champion walked away with USD15,000 and there are 9 legs covering 5 mths. The one I caught was in Genting and it was the 3rd leg. The same guy had also won the first 2 legs. He won USD45,000 in 5 weeks! Compare that to badminton where the average prize money for the Men's singles champion in the Super Series is just USD12,000! So why sweat and toil and risk injuries playing badminton earning so much less?? Might as well play pool, drink beer, ogle at women and earn more! Amazingly, the women players in pool earn as much as the men, but only in the States. And they look really good, too!

So dads and moms out there, time to consider pool as a career choice for your kids!

So you think you can dance!

I am a big dance fan and I take latin and ballroom dance classes. Yes, yes! The waltz, tango, quickstep, rumba, paso doble, cha-cha etc. Ppl just don believe I dance after they see my "Well-Chiselled Body"! But I do. My latin dance partner(For one year) is taking part in this show called "So you think you can dance". She is currently in the top 16 and is doing quite well. Her name is Farah and if anyone out there gets the chance to watch this show, please support her.

AD, when you starting classes?

More misery please!

Guess what? The DBKL has "sensitively" decided to increase parking charges from 60sen to 80sen beginning 16 Jun. To make it even more wonderful, they have even extended parking charges to Sundays and public holidays!!! And for the coup de grace, parking times have been extended : 7.30am to 10pm (initially 8am-6pm)!

Bravolah KL mayor Abdul Hakim Borhan and his team. What perfect timing! I guess he knows he is in such deep shit now that he better make all the money he can before he is ousted from his lofty post. I have a few more "wonderful suggestions" to complement this brilliant plan :

a)Might as well charge the same rates for motorbikes and bicycles. After all, u freaking cold-blooded animals don give a rat's arse abt the public's suffering!

b)Charge pedestrians 50sen for using the overhead bridges as this will ensure their safety.

c)Charge the public for going to public parks, lakes or any common area maintained by DBKL


Congrats our dear "Beloved PM"! Leadership by example. Only this instance your student has far exceeded your stupidity and lack of leadership qualities. Or are u part of the master plan.......... Hmmmm...........................

Tattoos

I was watching Miami Ink(Every nite, 11pm, channel 707 on Astro) and am still amazed at the talents of these guys. It is about tattooing and the finished product is just fabulous. i have always envied those who could draw well but these guys just bring it to another level. The intricacies, complexities and shading is fantastic. Even the simple tattoos look great.

I have been wanting to get a tattoo for quite some time but each time I have been warned by my "big bosses"(mother and wifey) the effects shd I get one. I was thinking what would I get if I eally had a chance. I realised I DON'T KNOW!!! Damn!

Any suggestions out there?

Just shut up!

I had a chat with a friend of mine today and I asked her if she visited my blog. Her answer was "Your writings are all so short". Ok, I will try to write someting longer this time.

I just can't take it anymore. Our freaking govt is still treating the rakyat like we are morons living in trees. I am sure mostly all of you would have read about Bodohwi govt's brilliant plan to cut costs announced 2 days ago. One of them is just ridiculous, that is reducing the entertainment expense of ministers by 10% and that their paid holidays are only applicable to Asean countries. Is this what they meant by changing your lifestyle? They even went on to suggest that the rakyat with landed properties shd plant veges while those staying in apartments shd use Hydroponics to do the same!!! Oh my gosh! Are they suggesting we become farmers as well now? Why is it that only the rakyat have to suffer??? I have a few suggestions here :

a)Take away 40% of their entertainment allowance(since petrol price went up by 40%)
b)NO MORE PAID HOLIDAYS (Certainly no holiday for me this year)
c)NO more "Lawatan sambil belajar" where wives and family members tag along for free!
d)Take away their petrol allowance and cars
e)Stop thinking of stupid projects like sending "monkeys" to space

and last but not least :
f)Reduce their salaries!!!

Now, the well-heeled YBs will probably feel wat the poor rakyat is feeling!!!

Another suggestion given is that the rakyat shd use the public transport. My dear PM, I am staying in Pusat Bandar Puchong. I have done a little investigation on this. The bus that serves my area takes abt 80 mins to reach Kotaraya on Sundays!!! Now on a working day, that cld be 2 hrs if I m lucky. What if there is rain(caused by yr govt's inefficiency again)? maybe 3 hrs then. What does that mean? It means I have to get up at 5am to catch the bus! On top of that, I will probably only get home by 10pm. Then I have to tend to my vegetables.........

PM, if you have no ideas or nothing good to say, just shut up!!! We all know what a big fool and moron you are. You don't have to prove it again and again!

Go Holland go!

What a game!!! Stayed up till 3am to watch my favourite team, Holland, whack the daylights out of Italy in Euro 2008. Brilliant display and well done Holland! You're going all the way this time!

My piggy bank after filling petrol today!!!

Received another one of those funny mails today!

Euro 2008

Being a football fanatic, I waited with great anticipation for the tournament to start. It started last nite and I had all my usual football snacks like twisties, murukus n drinks all ready for a long nite. 2 matches were shown live. One at 12 midnite and the other at 3am. The opening ceremony was kind of boring, kind of a lauzy opening act before the main performers come out in a concert. Yawnnnnnnnnn. As the players trooped out, I got really excited. The referee blew his whistle and it began! As with opening games, it was kind of boring. Suddenly, I jumped off the sofa and realised it was 1.30am already. I had dozed off for one hour. So much for anticipation huh!

Looks like it is going to be a struggle watching both games everyday. I have to pick n choose my games now.

Anyone out there with the same quandary?
