A female friend of mine called me this morning and said this about my blog, "Your topics quite interesting but decorate your blog a bitlah!"(Mind you, she's not the first!). I said "Got a lot of color wat. Nice to look at mah". She said I got no "Interior Design" talents! She goes on to add, "Your house got rainbow colours ah?". Sheepishly, I said no. "That's my pointlah". I told her i have the piture of my fav football team's stand mah. She said, "The Kop sounds like a jail lah". Wait till I get my hands on you.......;..
Errrrrrr...ok, what do you mean decorate? I asked. She told me to put some pics, this, that and a thousand other things that sounded a little foreign to me. But I guess it is constructive criticism! Maklumlah, I am still new to this. will try to do this but realised that I don't really know what to do! I really don have ID talents. So, any kind of help is welcome!
PS : Interesting how not a single guy has mentioned about "decorating" blogs. Males are such simple species. Give us a good football game, a beer in hand, some snacks, a good sofa set and we'll be satisfied. Women will prob wan to watch good-looking men in tight football jersies, beer in a nice glass, low-fat and low-calory snacks and a designer sofa set!
Nuff said and waiting to be bashed!

Penangites punished!
The BN-led govt's systematic retaliation and punishment of states choosing the Pakatan continues with their so-called "Deferment" of the Monorail and the Penang Outer Ring Road(PORR) project. But the reason given by both our top leaders, Bodoh-wi and Nah-jeeb is beyond believe! It has been deferred because the projects are not "People centred"! Here is Bodoh-wi's defintion of people-centred :
"Priority will be given to people centric-projects - projects which provide basis amenities and which impart direct benefit to the people, such as water supply, electricity, health facilities, education, low-cost public housing, poverty eradication and public safety," he said today.
Mr Pee-Em, here are my questions :
a)Doesn't the monorail reduce the dangers of accidents? (Public safety)
b)With the spiralling costs of fuel, wouldn't these projects help reduce costs for the public in terms of travelling time and ease of movement? (Direct benefit to the people)
c)When these two projects were conceived, wasn't it supposed to help the people of Penang? Who did you intend it for? Goats and cows?
d)So is your Iskandar Development Region in Johor going to be deferred as well?
To the people in Penang, Perak, Selangor, Kedah, Kelantan and the Federal Territories :
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!

Ruthless German efficiency!
Some things just don't change! The Germans always seem to do well in big soccer tournaments. Like or dislike them, they're always consistently in the semis, finals or winning it altogether. Unlike our national football team who is pretty consistent as well : Consistently slipping down the rankings of world football! Why the FAM keeps sending our coaches and players for attachments in England i will never understand! FAM, England have only won once on their home ground and since then have not even had a sniff at it again! So get smart and send them to Germany.
The Germans play simple football and I am just puzzled why the world doesn't copy their recipe for success. Is it because they breed certain types of players that other countries can't? They never had amazingly skilful players like a Pele, a Maradona, a Ronaldo etc. Yet they are so successful in World Cup campaigns.
The same goes for their automobile industry. BMW, Mercedes Benz etc are top names which are really still unmatched in terms of quality and brand name. The clowns in DBKL recently sent a 15 member team for a "Lawatan Sambil Belajar" trip to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and whatever "Tan" there is to learn about their transportation systems! Do u believe that??? And when they returned, what did they do? Increase parking rates and extend the times where parking fees are chargeable!
Anyway, will be rooting for Spain in tonite's 2nd semifinal. Wouldn't be too heartbroken if the Russians make it through as they play attractive football as well. Just hope the winners will then rip apart that efficient machine that is Germany!

Women are a special species!
A friend of mine told me what happened to him over the weekend and it had me laughing so hard that I just have to share it :
It was on Sunday at abt 11am and my fren was still in bed. Suddenly, his sister, who had just bought a new car 3 mths ago called him on the phone and started panicking. This was how the conversation went :
Sis : Bro, pls help me. I have a puncture and I donno wat to do.
Bro : Where are you?
Sis : In Bangsar
Bro : Is there a petrol station nearby?
Sis : Yes. Can't u come and help me?
Bro : Aiya, puncture small thinglah. Ask the petrol station fellas to help u lah!
Sis : What can the petrol station fella do? I need you to come pick me and I will leave the car here.
Bro : What? Just get them to help u lah!
Sis : How to help?
Bro : Ask them to take the spare tyre and replace the punctured onelah!
Sis : Spare tyre? What spare tyre?
She didn't even know there was a spare tyre in her car!!!
NUFF SAID!

The power of Facebook
I am sure many are familiar with Facebook. Its proponents will say that it is the best invention ever! I am not too familiar with its functions or what it can do altho I do have an account(Sadly, I hardly ever use it).
While meeting w some friends, the topic of Facebook came up and I started to find out more abt it. The regular users mentioned that they got in touch with so many long-lost friends via facebook. I thot it incredible. When I found out how it was done, a question arose in my mind. What if you do not want to rekindle the friendship for some reason or another with the friend who contacted you or vice-versa? It's not like you can say I did not get yr sms etc. Would I be a hypocrite by continue correpondence and what not? Hmmmmm.....
And then I was told about how you could poke, send invites, fight and a thousand other things you can do on facebook. When I asked one of them how much time a day they spent on facebook and the answer astounded me! He spent an average of 5 hours a day on it!!!! That's 35 hrs a week and 140 hrs a month. Oh don forget, add another 5hrs for each sat and sun and the grand total comes to 180 hours! That's seven and a half days in a month! Gosh, couldn't that time be spent more productively? In their defence, they mentioned that their number of friends have increased by leaps and bounds b'cos of facebook. Well, I guess no one can tell you how to run your life but yourself.
Maybe one day when I have earned my millions, I will start "Facebook-ing", if there's such a term. For now, I will stick to blogging.......
