Here are some of my Krabi photos :



Two elephants greeting me in my room!



Street food. Could be cleaner but delicious!




The waters off Phi Phi Island! Amazingly clear and lots of fish!




Me and wifey!



My futile attempt at snorkelling! Can't swim la!

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!

To holiday I go!

Yes! Finally I get to go for a holiday! Not a big time one to Hawaii, Europe or the like but humble Krabi in Thailand. Heard a lot of good things abt the place. Time to relax and "take in some sights", if you know what I mean!

See ya!

Crappy weekend!

I had a really bad weekend. Why? mainly b'cos Liverpool lost to the basement team in the EPL after controlling the game. Well, after seeing them hit the woodwork not once, not twice but three times, you somehow get a feeling that it is not going to be your day. I m sure millions of Liverpool fans around the world did the same thing as I when KayuCangkul scored the winner for Spurs, off the TV and to bed. The problem was I was on a mini vacation with wifey in M'cca and I had to get up with a smiling face the next morning. I think I did a good job as she didn't notice the frustration in me the next day! Phew!

Then I found out my car had some problems with the exhaust pipe and will cost me a cool RM500 to fix! #@!^$@$#$%@$%#&

Massa losing the F1 title at the last corner was another bitter pill to swallow. That cocky Hamilton w the gorgeous girlfriend(Nicole of Pussycat Dolls) didn't deserve it. He won only 5 legs to Massa's 6. Now he is rumoured to be signing endorsements worth USD200million! And he's only 23! Some guys have all the luck!

On the political side :
a)Razak Baginda acquitted
b)Public accounts c'tee clears Govt on Eurocopter purchase
c)Police raids gay party

That's enuf bitching fer now!

Police afraid of criminals!

Here we go again! Pea-brained Hamid Albar has come up with another gem! Here are his comments with regard to the closing down of a police beat base extracted from the staronline :

KUALA LUMPUR: A police beat base located in the Chow Kit area of downtown Kuala Lumpur has been shut down because the “presence of criminals could make it unsafe” for police officers.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said the beat base was located in a dirty area where police faced the possibility of being exposed to contagious diseases. The presence of criminals also posed a threat to the safety of police officers.

So, our police are now afraid of criminals? So what are we poor, unarmed rakyat to do? What the hell is our police force for?

The only thing that comes out from Albar's mouth is shit! Keep your freaking mouth shut! You have already reached the top in terms of stupidity!

What's happening now?

Each day we are bombarded with negative news abt the credit crunch hitting the world's economic markets. Stock exchanges in many countries are affected and have been registering record falls. In Wall Street(The biggest stock exch in the world), losses have exceeded ten trillion dollars(Don even know how much that is)!

Our PM and DPM claim that the KLSE has just been recording drops of just around 3% and we will be able to withstand the credit crunch. Withstand??? Banks are now reluctant to give out loans for any purpose provided you are in a financially good position. I m no financial expert, but aren't the ones not in good financial position who need the loans. Second hand car dealers are reported to be in dire straits b'cos of this.

Our leaders, instead of coming up with ideas to overcome this crisis are more interested to vie for posts in their parties. The MCA, Gerakan and UMNO are all having their elections soon. Everyone is so busy affiliating themselves with the "right people" that once again the rakyat is suffering. Has anyone brought up the fact that oil is now at USD78 a barrel? Shouldn't price of petrol be somewhere aroun RM2 now?

Our outgoing PM has made another stupid comment again. He says he will leaving in March 2009 and plans to implement what he started 5 years ago. What are they? Judicial reforms, eradication of corruption and poverty! Isn't this what he preached when he first got elected? If he couldn't do it in 5 yrs, what chance has he got in 5months!!!

Till the next posting....
