I can bet all of you will always hear complains like, "I don't have enough sleep". So how much sleep is actually enough? According to scientific research, an adult (18-40 years old) requires abt 6-8 hours of sleep. I have frens who can set world sleeping records. If no one wakes them, they can easily sleep till 4 or 5pm the next day. And they did not even have alcohol the nite before!!! And to that they proudly brag : I can save cost mah! Skip 2 meals!
As for me, i only require abt 5 hrs of sleep a nite. My frens say I don know how to enjoy life b'cos I sleep too little. Hey, some people like me enjoy life when I am awake, not asleep! So go sleep and don bother me!

As Sep 16 draws nearer........
All of a sudden, Sep 16 seems to be the most important day in Malaysian history. By the way, it's also my good friend's birthday! T, if u are reading this, "Happy Be-earliered Birthday!"(Just in case I forget!)
So back to Sept 16 in our nation's context. There has been a flurry of rumours going around via word of mouth and the blogs. While many of these rumours cannot be substantiated with hard facts, some developments in the country has given credence to these rumours.
a)Yesterday's press conference given by "Pendatang" Ahmad Ismail smacks of arrogance and I believe racial in nature. He still thinks he has done nothing wrong uttering the words in his speech. Worse of all, scores of UMNO members were with him! They shouted "Hidup Melayu" and even tore posters of Koh Tsu Koon and Gerakan. What is wrong with these people? We, the chinese and I am quite certain I can speak for the Indian community as well, are not here to take over your country and displace you into the backwaters of society. We just want better opportunities to pursue a better lifestyle. Is that too much to ask? We did help to build this nation as well! The PM and DPM is meeting with Ahmad today and action will be taken against him. We await anxiously.......
b)Gerakan has severed ties with Penang UMNO while the MCA has severed ties with the Bukit Bendera UMNO division. Now doesn't this seem odd? You sever ties with UMNO Penang but you are still in the BN coalition? WTF? FYI, the PM is fm Penang and is the head of Penang UMNO. Does this mean that you do not want to have ties with the PM as well? If that is so, then the Gerakan shd get out of BN! As for the running dogs MCA, stop putting up a "Sandiwara" and grow a backbone. Who cares abt you anymore anyway!
c)The so called "Lawatan Sambil Belajar" by 50 MPs today to Taiwan is another example of how our hard-earned money is being wasted. The Govt has mentioned that the MPs are paying for the trips themselves. Please, don treat us as retards just b'cos u are! You expect us to believe that? I am amazed that this trip can be cooked up in a week. Normally trips like this would have to be planned way in advance, But Malaysia Boleh! And the timing is just perfect! Middle of Ramadan and also over Sep 16! So what is it that the MPs are planning to learn from this trip? Would love to see the itinerary of the trip. Shopping? Anyway, is this trip going to stop any MPs from crossing over?
d)The Court's decision to nullify Joseph Kurup's win in the general election is interesting. The by-election to be held soon would tell us if the PR has made inroads into Sabah, who has been a Barisan stronghold. But what irked me the most is Bung Mokhtar's comments. He said that he is sure the people of Sabah will rally around the BN b'cos they did not want chaos like the people of Permatang Pauh! That is a total insult to the people of PP! They voted for change not for chaos! They voted for a govt with good governance not a crap govt! They voted for a better future! Since this is a season of apologies, Mr Bung shd apologise to the people of PP. Oh I forgot, the people of BN can just shoot of whatever they want fm their mouths! They will just be told to "Jangan buat lagi"
So let's await Sep 16 together!

Permatang Pauh has spoken for Malaysians!
One thing that can definitely be concluded from the recent PP by-elections is : The people of Malaysia hate the BN govt and the PM even more than 6 months ago!
Why do we hate you more?
1)You and your ministers still continue to take Malaysians as fools. Your ministers continues to make the stupidest(I suppose it goes with their low IQ levels) statements and actually believe that the rakyat at this time and day will believe them!
2)Your budget stinks and there is no benefits whatsoever for the middle class earners. I suppose this is your way of telling the middle class who did not vote for you in the last elections : "This is wat u get for not voting us!" Trust me, judging by the sentiments going around now, you will never get this group's votes again! Period! One more thing, which freaking household has less than RM20 consumption of electricity???
3)Your election strategy and tactics are just a disgrace. You utilise the whole govt machinery and limitless funds trying to win a by-election that you term as unimportant. You go through the lowest ebbs possible to discredit one man who has the balls to stand up against you. When it doesn't go well, u just make them disappear either by C4 or other means possible (Wonder where PI Bala is now). Your shameless use of the media and draconian laws like the ISA, OSA and the Publishing and Printing Acts is just despicable!
4)Your toothless tiger ACA seems to have grown some baby teeth now. They seem to be arresting lower level staff and runners in Puspakom. Today, even a state assemblyman was arrested for allegedly taking a RM2,000 bribe. Bravo! Now that you have caught the little fall guys, what abt going after those who have "prospered" in the PKFZ fiasco, Perwaja Steel mismanagement, Monsoon Cup Yacht Race waste of money, MRR2 highway defects and many more where millions and billions have been lost. For that matter, what happened to the AG report 2007 where screwdrivers were sold for 10 times their price? Once again, stop taking us for idiots! We want you to go after the major culprits, even if they are close to you or related to u Mr PM!
I seriously don see anything changing in the near future with this current bunch of arseholes running our country. I may not be your biggest fan DSAI, but the ppl have put you in the parliament, so go put your words into action!
We are waiting......

What next after Permatang Pauh?
So the big day has arrived! Anwar Ibrahim is expected to be voted back into parliament with a resounding majority. If DSAI wins as expected, what will happen next?
a)Will we finally see the crossovers from BN to enable PR to form the government and DSAI be the PM by Sep 16?
b)Will the BN spin-masters cook up more ridiculous attempts to discredit DSAI like the ridiculous "Pretty Boy" Saiful case?
c)Will Anwar be able to fight-off those ridiculous sodomy charges against him?
And if Anwar loses?
Gosh! Just pack up and leave the country!

Is it worth coming back to work?
The govt has been asking M'sian professionals working overseas to return and serve in our country. They have promised many sweeteners in their attempts to get these pros back. Here is the story of a friend of mine T, a surgeon.
T had been working in London and decided to take up our govt's offer to return. That's when his nightmare started. First it took the health ministry 6 months to decide which hospital to assign him to!
T, being a workaholic, then decided to work longer hours to shorten the waiting list of patients needing operations. To do this, he had to get the hospital staff to work longer hours as well. He could not get anyone to work even when he wanted to fork out his own money to pay them. Their punctuality was another bane to him. Scheduled operations were delayed b'cos staff were not punctual!
Then, the hospital staff started awful rumours abt him which made him even more furious. He is starting to regret the fact that he returned to M'sia.
So, low salaries are not the only reason that our pros are reluctant to return to M'sia. The platform for them to produce their best work has to be there and local staff mentality has to be upgraded to a higher level. If this is not done, we can forget abt more M'sians coming to serve in our country!

Is there a difference?
Been reading quite a bit abt our country's politics and as usual, it is one big circus. Don wan to comment on that but would like to write about whether there has been a noticeable difference in states taken over by the Pakatan Rakyat, things that politicians ARE elected to do!
It has been more than 6 months now since the elections. It might be a short time period but some bloggers have mentioned that there has been a difference in their constituencies. I am staying in Pusat Bandar Puchong and so far I have not noticed any changes. But some in Bangsar and other states have said streets are now cleaner, more basic amenities have been provided and many new projects are in the pipeline. Friends from Penang too have been telling me that the PR reps are more easily accessible than the BN reps. Selangor has free water. So do u think the PR is doing a good job? Personally, I think for the 6 months period, they have been doing a pretty good job.
A good friend of mine has started a drive to get more people to register as voters as he anticipates that there will be a snap election sometime soon(Shd DSAI manage to get BN MPs to crossover). I don't know if that will happen, but if it does, then we shd all practice our democratic rights and let the Powers-To-Be know that the rakyat is not interested in their political mud-slinging and dramas. All we want is equal opportunities and a decent life. So go get registered in any Post Office and wait for the next interesting episode in this drama called "Malaysian politics!"

Plain stupid!
Today, I witnessed something amazingly stupid. I was driving in Puchong headed towards the LDP when I noticed that a motorcycle abt 50m ahead of me going very slowly. A young malay couple was on the bike. All of a sudden this girl jumps off the bike in tears and runs towards the middle of the road, apparently trying to kill herself b'cos she stopped in the middle with her hands held wide. Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the road at the time and those that were, managed to swerve to avoid her. While this was going on, her partner, boyfren or whatever, gets off his bike and chases after her!(Like Tamil filmlah!). He reaches her and manages to pull her back to the side of the road. All the drivers that stopped their cars to witness this, me included, just shook their heads in disbelief and drove on.
So, is she trying to prove a point or just being stupid? As for me, it is resoundingly stupid! Imagine the mess she would have caused. Just wondering, if a driver out there knocks this girl and his car gets damaged, how to claim for damages leh? If I claim from my insurance company, then I lose my NCB. Any experts out there?
