Life sucks but we get on with it!

I m sure everyone goes thru some very difficult periods in their life. I guess I went thru mine for the last two weeks for something that happened in my office. I was so mentally stressed and distraught that I hardly slept and have lost a total of 3kgs! Hope I can maintain current weight tho! Most would have noticed I have not been blogging of late and it is due to this incident. But I am now back and would like to get back on the blogosphere!

BN's loss in the KT by-election must be a big slap in the face for our PM-in-waiting Najib. Here he was leading the BN election machinery and yet they still lost. That doesn't augur too well for Najib, doesn't it? It just goes to show that since 8 Mar, the BN has done nothing to convince voters that they shd remain in power. The BN must be keeping their fingers crossed that there will be no more by-elections as they have lost every single one!

On the football scene, I find it amazing that someone would fork out the GDP of a small nation for one single football player. Of course I am talking abt the ludicrous offer Man City made for Kaka. AC Milan supporters have protested the supposed consideration of the Milan board for the sale. Here's what I have to say to Milan supporters : Take the 100million or so and buy an entire new defence plus another player in the class of Kaka! I m sure u'll be back in the Champs league next season!

The hot topic in the world now is Israel's continued bombardment of the Gaza Strip supposedly to get at Hamas "Terrorist" groups. Now I don care who you are, what you believe in or what religion you are from but killing children and innocent civilians is a definite NO! How do you justify bombing a school full of children just because you "Suspect" terrorists are hiding there? Is there solid evidence? Is Israel going to be tried for manslaughter? Definitely not as they have big brother, the US supporting them and no one in the UN security council has the balls to go against them. It just makes me sick to the stomach to see pics of kids killed or maimed daily. For goodness sakes, stop this slaughter!

Lastly, to all my family, relatives, friends and bloggers ou there :

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

We're behind you Stevie G!

I guess it must have gotten every tru-blue Liverpool fan worried now that our most influential player and captain has been charged with assault and affray for an altercation in a Liverpool Pub. My immediate thot was that this was done by an opportunist wanting to make money off a celebrity. This has happened a million times and is normally settled by a small out-of-court payment.

However, this case may be slightly different as he was locked up for quite a while and has now been charged. If convicted, he may be imprisoned for 5 years! And to add salt to the wound, the so-called "Assaulted" person was an MU scum!

Whatever it is, Stevie G, you'll always have our backing for we'll never let you walk alone!!!

Mt Kinabalu, here I come!!!

I am excited! After years of trying to get a group to climb Mt Kinabalu, I have finally managed to. Made all the bookings this week and am slated to climb the mountain at the end of Feb next year. Yahoo!

I had a little chat with the agent who did the bookings for me and I got answers like this :

Q : How fit do you need to be to climb the mountain?
A : Reasonably fit

Q : What do u mean by reasonably fit?
A : Means got exercise a bit la

Q : Exercise a bit means how much leh?
A : Means got walk and play games little bit la

Q : I walk from carpark to office considered reasonably fit meh?
A : Aiya, a bit more la

Q : How much more?
A : I think you and your group must start climbing some stairs like in Batu Caves!!!

Q : Gosh! What if one of the group members cannot continue on?
A : If he can walk, then he must walk down to the rest areas. If he injured, we call helicopter, but you must pay yourself la!

Q : What must we bring for the climb?
A : You check the net la. All the website got tell what to bring one. Even you don bring, there can rent wan!

Haha! She was by no means rude but such a funny conversation!

Ok, time to go and climb stairs......

What a great way to start the week!

Woke up this morning to the news that the Gunners had beaten the Chavs by 2-1! Heard Van Persie even scored a goal when he was clearly offside. What a great opportunity now for my beloved Liverpool to actually take the leadership of the premiership on their own, that is if they don screw it up tomorrow morning against West Ham!

Unfortunately, that scum of a team beat their neighbours City too. That just spoiled my day a little. Fortunately they are quite a bit behind us! And pretty playboy Ronaldo got sent off too for thinking he was playing basketball instead of football. Haha!

What makes a Malaysian a Malaysian!

Received this in the mail today. Hilarious!


What Makes A Malaysian A Malaysian

1. You can name all the players from the the English Premier League, but ask you to name one football player from Malaysia , one name also cannot come out.

2. When StreamyX come, you complain StreamyX too slow. When Maxis Broadband come, you complain Maxis Broadband always disconnects. When WiMax come, you complain Wimax too expensive. In the end, you say StreamyX still the best ah.

3. When toll price increase, you complain. When petrol price increase, you complain. When you go Starbucks buy RM10 coffee, NO COMPLAINTS.

4. When you cannot find parking in a shopping mall and have to walk very far, you complain. When you go inside the shopping mall and there's SALE, run from one end of 1Utama to the other also NO COMPLAINTS.

6. You are always late. And the excuse you give when you're late is always either: (a) traffic jam (b) no transport or (c) cannot find parking.

7. You have a parent who force you to take science stream in high school, study engineering in Uni, then when you graduate, they ask you to forget everything you learnt in Uni and do commerce.

8. You know someone who can specially develop a 'mat salleh' accent when speaking to a American / British / Australian.

9. You complain against the government in kopitiam, you talk loud loud. Leave anonymous comments on blogs, you also talk loud loud. Attend ceremah by DAP, you shout loud loud. Then when Opposition organise a protest and ask you to go, you dun wan. Scared later kena tangkap by ISA.

10. Every year on the 30th April, you are one of the people below queueing up last minute to submit your tax return at the IRB.

11. When you pay RM10 for something that costs RM1, you blame the Chinese.

12. When a government service is too slow, you blame the Malays.

13. When a building is not good and collapsed, you blame the Indians.

14. When a Chinese student won a scholarship, you say 'Wah! Very clever hor?' When a Malay student won a scholarship, you say 'Aiya! Of course lah! He Malay mah!'

15. When a 'mat salleh' stranger kiss you on the cheek to say hello, you very happy. When a Malaysian guy kiss you on the cheek to say hello, you slap him.

I am guilty of 1,3,7 and 10. So which one are u? Don lie!

I am back and AirAsia Promos!

Time just seems to fly past when you are on holidays doesn't it? I had a wonderful time in Krabi visiting the Islands, riding on an elephant. I also had a torrid time climbing 1,237 stairs which were at 70-80 degree angles to see a temple! But enuf of all that.

As I started flipping the local papers for the first time in 5 days, one headline jumped at me straight away : "No more fuel surcharge on Airasia flights!" for bookings made on 12-16 November. I started jumping for joy as I wanted to book another holiday straight away(Still in holiday mood ma). So I logged on the website. But as I expected, the traffic to the site must have been immense as I just could not get in. So much for the promos!

But I still have 3 more days to try so fingers crossed!
