ain't no mr nice guy here

Hail to the Chief

2008-11-04T21:18:00.000-08:00

the United States of America elected the son of a 'slave' to become their President.

we in Malaysia are still being labeled as 'pendatangs', 'non-bumis', kafirs, etc
and still continue to be denied of equal treatment in employment, governance, education, housing, & judiciary.

wawasan 2020 would be all but an empty shell of make-beliefs.

Chiang Mai - part 2

2008-10-31T10:27:00.000-07:00

kalare night bazaar!!!

petaling street!!! only with less aggressive street peddlers. and a lot more cleaner.
really, chiangmai is a clean city. i arrived half expecting a slump of place, oh how wrong i was!!!
this place is clean!!! the streets are clean...the public toilets are clean...

took this stupid tuk-tuk from my inn to the bazaar.
this little prick here overcharged me by 100%. so, remember the back of this seat, if the next tuk-tuk that you take resembles this, please whack the guy on the head for me.

there's a food court somewhere at the background of this photo.
quite a lot of food are available at a very reasonable price.
with names and photos and the prices of what the stall offers displayed prominently in english, this place is very tourist-friendly.

kaosoi - chiangmai's speciality (rm3.5-4.0)
tastes like curry mee

kaosoi according to wikitravel, is a local speciality. it comes in either chicken or beef curry over locally made yellow wheat noodles.
eeerr..honestly, nothing to shout about. i think our curries taste better.

pork-knuckle rice - one of my all time favorite thai dish (rm4.00)

ok, i've savored better tasting pork-knuckle rice in dannok (malaysia-thai border town). but this one here will just about make it to being labeled as "nice".
girls might not be able to fully enjoy the true essence of this wonderful dish, as this dish here is basically a huge chunk of fatty pork leg. you want to savor the true flavor? eat with the fats.

orange juice (rm2.00 per 500ml bottle)

this happens to be my most favorite drink in chiang mai! its sweet, its zesty, its refreshing, and i reckon its healthy!!!!

rotee stand

the thais (or at least chiangmai-ese) love their roti, particularly roti pisang. these stalls are everywhere!!!

the food here in chiangmai was kinda disappointing, i was hoping to try out more of the local specialty cuisines, but despite my best efforts, there's not much variations to the offerings from their southern counterparts. or maybe its just that i didnt try harder.....

anyway......in part 3, THE OUTBACK!!!!!

stay tuned...

donation drive for SRJK (C) PUMPONG, Alor Star, Kedah, Malaysia

2008-09-25T08:20:00.000-07:00

a small chinese primary school at the edge of Alor Star City, Kedah.

SRJK (C) Pumpong

i was a student of this school from 1988-1993.
i love this school, and i love the memories she has brought to my life.

the teachers that taught me were the greatest.
the canteen served some the most memorable food i've ever had!!! seriously,
i swear i could still remember how the nasi lemak tastes like,
the lor mee, and this special sotong+rice in assam broth dish....

and how i was class monitor for the whole 6 years i was there!!!

SRJK (C) Pumpong has always been close to my heart, ever since i left her in 1994.

here comes the sad part......

She was pronounced unsafe for inhabitants in 2006 for being in a critical stage of termite infestation.
the whole school was promptly evicted,
and she was left to decay.

a foster school was hastily identified,
and the entire school population is temporarily occupying a 4-storey block of a wawasan-school.
optimizing the single block that is allocated to her,
media room, bilik sumber, computer room, etc have to be sacrificed to be classrooms to accommodate the students.

despite all the setbacks and difficulties from the eviction.......
education never stops in pumpong.....
(and will never stop!!!)

RM3.5million is desperately needed for the construction of the New Pumpong.
a suitable piece of land has already been acquired to build the new 24-classrooms Pumpong!!
so the citizens of Pumpong can have a new place to call home.
and quality Pumpong education can be resumed!!!

months of hard work and perseverance from the teachers and management of Pumpong have brought in a donated sum of RM1.0million.
education department+MCA have pledged a combined amount of *RM500K.
and an upcoming charity-concert is expected to rake in *RM1.5million.
(*with fingers crossed)

still some distance to cover of what is actually needed.

my dear friends, my dear readers from all over malaysia and the world.

i will not ask for DONATION from you if this is not something very close to my heart.
but the very survival of my alma mater is in doubt here.
and i'd pledged to do all that is within my capability to make sure SRJK (C) Pumpong will finally see it through her current distress, and have a new place to call home.

Should you feel like donating any amount, any sincere amount at all, please find the details at the bottom of this post. Otherwise, please help by spreading the word around your community, that SRJK(C) Pumpong lives.

Malaysiakini - 15th September 2008

2008-09-15T05:26:00.000-07:00

Pengerusi Masjid Bandar Kinrara, yang menerima petisyen membantah penggunaan pembesar suara untuk beberapa kegiatan agama, bersetuju dengan tindakan kerajaan menggunakan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) ke atas exco kanan Selangor, Teresa Kok.

Abdul Rahman Nasir berkata, secara umumnya, perkara sensitif membabitkan agama "tidak boleh dimainkan".

"Perkara ini tidak boleh dimainkan. Terutama sekali di negeri Selangor ini, bukan saja (berkenaan) agama Islam, tetapi apa agama pun (tidak boleh dimainkan)."

Penahanan Teresa dipercayai mempunyai kaitan dengan petisyen sekumpulan 189 penduduk sekitar Seksyen 5, Bandar Kinrara yang meminta pihak masjid tersebut memperlahankan penggunaan pembesar suara untuk aktiviti keagamaannya.

Perkara itu bagaimanapun dinafikan oleh Teresa, yang juga ahli parlimen Seputeh.

Bercakap kepada Malaysiakini petang ini, Abdul Rahman bagaimanapun enggan memberikan komen lanjut berkenaan isu itu kerana pihaknya cuma sebagai penerima petisyen dan tidak tahu-menahu tentang perkara lain di sebalik isu itu.

Masyarakat Islam setempat pula, menurut Abdul Rahman tidak memberikan sebarang reaksi terhadap penahanan itu dan bertindak seperti biasa.

"Kita tidak ada apa. Sudah lama dah masjid ini dibina. Itulah, persoalannya, kenapa sekarang? Kalau tidak puas hati, pindahlah.

"Dari dulu lagi waktu hendak beli rumah, pelannya sudah ada, sini masjid, sini taman permainan. Kenapa dulu beli di sini?" katanya.

____________________________________________________________________

now listen to the new budding asshole talk. now this mutha, abdul rahman nasir says he supports the detention of YB Teresa under ISA.

hey abdul rahman nasir, what did YB Teresa do to warrant a detention under ISA??

"Abdul Rahman bagaimanapun enggan memberikan komen lanjut berkenaan isu itu kerana pihaknya cuma sebagai penerima petisyen dan tidak tahu-menahu tentang perkara lain di sebalik isu itu. "

you dont even know who is behind the whole petition against-the-masjid!!!!!! and you stand proud amongst your misleaded peers to condemn YB Teresa to ISA detention???? what if YB Teresa is innocent??? then will all of you pea-brains go to hell for it? its a BIG no-no in Islam to wrongly accuse and punish an innocent person, you know? you should know better coz i am a non-muslim.

you speak like a religious fanatic, why dont you go check yourself in the nearest lockup, and let the police put you on death row, just in case.

_____________________________________________________________

the police made a statement recently to clarify their recent actions of invoking the ISA almost at will against civilians.

"Ismail explained that the decision to use the security law, which provides detention without trial, was based on intelligence and observation that certain acts by the individuals concerned were detrimental to the well-being of the nation."

let me get this straight, the well-being of the nation is at stakes because RPK accuses some VVVIPs of committing crimes? without clearing the accusations of the alleged criminal behavior of our VVVIPs, you silence the person(s) who reported it. very just mr policemen.

".....be afraid, be very afraid...."

an ultra racist bugger ahmaid ismail, openly declared that Chinese are immigrants unworthy of citizenship in this country. *1st red flag*.
"...i catch all china dolls in penang then you know..."

then he warned Chinese not to emulate the Jews with wishful thinking of conquering the country *2nd red flag*, and consider this threat the last warning from his race. *3rd red flag*.
"... i hate jews for developing windows vista i tell you..."

he then refused to tone down his racial outburst against Chinese, and pledged to run around malaysia spreading his ideology so that all malaysians would regard Chinese as immigrants and should have no equal rights to survive in this country. *4th red flag*.

"i bring my macaque to KL and let him tear ongkating's portrait then you know..."

during one of his press conferences, he brought a macaque from the botanical garden of penang (this one pretty feisty...i hope he's neutered), and sent him to the walls to retrieve the portrait of uncle Koh, PhD in eunuchology, and proceed to tear it into pieces. *5th red flag*

"aaaaargh!!! i am 60 years old and still behave like an ape!!! broohaaahaa"

the macaque - a hairy nuisance common in penang
i hope the penang city council catch this creature soon before it starts wreaking more havoc

5 FREAKING RED FLAGS against this fler, and his statements were all only meant for one thing, and that is to incite HATE and FEAR. and where is our mr policeman?? oh, they're still investigating. what is there to investigate sherlock?!?!? you have hundreds of witnesses, and you have hundreds of journalists covering the ceramah!!!!

"...even the prime minister cannot touch me, i tell you..."

One journalist wrote about what the swine uttered, and quickly she was sent to jail under the harshest of all acts - ISA. one minute say she created racial disharmony, one minute say is to protect her from harm, one minute say just wanna interview her, one minute say wanna neutralize social threat, one minute say its the gomen's decision, one minute say the ministry knows nothing of it.........wah....make up your mind eh?

something is very very wrong with this country dont you think???

is my beloved country DOOMED???

2008-09-12T08:27:00.000-07:00

it is confirmed at the time of print that RPK and the reporter from sinchew daily are arrested under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA).

ok, before i proceed further. for the uninitiated, ISA is an act which allows the government to arrest and put a person which the government regards as a threat to national security. detention under this barbaric act will basically sever your ties to the outside world. you will be barred from legal counsel, simply because there there will be no trials in court. the extent of your stay in the jail is at the mercy of the Home Minister & Prime Minister.

the ISA was initially conceived as a way to combat the insurgencies of the communists many many years ago. then our ruling coalition finds this act damn useful to curb the rise of the opposition political figures. it is like a gift from the Heavens for the warlords in the coalition to 'kill' off their opponents without getting their hands dirtied.

hence, this act is a very very powerful act. and now it's been so grossly abused!!!

RPK has always been the most vocal of all anti-UMNO activists. he runs the most famous blog in malaysia, www.malaysia-today.net that exposes so much of the misdeeds of the UMNO led gomen that puts the local friendly traffic policemen to shame. mind you, malaysia-today has readers in the MILLIONS all over the world!!! it's readership base puts the-star, nst, and all other mainstream gutless media to shame.

the gomen are always finding ingenious ways to shut malaysia-today. some are utterly stupid, like going to his house and confiscating his PCs and laptops, but some are just downright brainless. like blocking the access to malaysia-today. mirror sites were quickly set-up, and malaysia-today is back in business again within hours (i think). other than violating the MSC pledge of not censoring the internet, it clearly shows how utterly stupid and delusional our policy makers are.

i dunno much about Islam, but i sure know Islam prohibits their believers to cheat, to bribe, to lie, to steal, etc....... hey, arent all these behaviors apparent in the everyday conduct of our coalition leaders? who doesnt know our politicians are corrupt? who doesnt know our politicians abuse their power for their own benefit? the last time i checked, any one of these misdeeds warrants a big big DOSA in the eyes of Islam. and UMNO wants to be the authority to talk about Islam?....nah. its like asking a group of pedophile run a childcare center themselves.

and RPK was detained today for insulting Islam and their Holy Prophet in this article.

however, RPK being detained by our useless gomen is very much anticipated. honestly, none of his loyal readers were a bit shocked to learned about his arrest. i was only surprised at the timing of the arrest. when the world is watching, while the stupid gomen makes blunder after blunder after blunder, the gomen lifted their sarong to show their wee-wee. hey, what more can i say.

now this ahmad ismail chap, arsehole of the grandest order & low life of the lowest caste. ok, he made a statement that sent ripples of fire across the nation.

but hey, wait...wait...he is not wrong you know?? we chinese are pendatangs, our ancestors did come from the mainland in search of a better life. but hey, didnt ahmad ismail's ancestors also came from india many generations ago???

now, ahmad you prick, dun you go deny that you are a mamak. mamaks are mamak, just like a hokkiens are hokkien, and kelabits are kelabit. be proud of your blood and heritage!!! mamaks are indian muslims. and arent ancestral indians in this country originated from india??? so technically, you are also a pendatang!! hey, group hug everyone!!!

but lets go deeper into this anthropology thing. it is believed that so many years ago.....humans appeared on the face of the planet (adam-and-eve or evolution? thats a different story altogether), but only at a few locations in this primitive world. then humans migrated, some moved north, some east, some west, some south......and formed civilizations and warring states and empires and dynasties and middle earth. it is this migrating pattern of humans, that has made us who and what we are. we share a common ancestor, either by adam & eve or theory of evolution, the fact is we share the same ancestors!!! we are all migrated to this land. and who are you to call us immigrants?!?!

but now comes the funny part.

1st - bastard makes the insensitive remark that gets everyone excited.
2nd - then hordes of people demand for an apology which he refuses to make.
3rd - sleeping beauty says he will ask ahmad-ismail-the-faggot not to repeat it again.
4th - C4 says sorry on ahmad-ismail-the-curr's behalf.
5th - people insist ahmad-ismail-the-maggot apologize himself which again he refuses.
6th - he warns chinese not to push it or they will retaliate. sends ripples of WTF across country.
7th - UMNO slaps ahmad-ismail-the-tapeworm on the hand and suspends him for 3 years.
8th - ahmad-ismail-the-residue-shit-on-the-toilet vows to go on a national tour to spread his philosophy of race supremacy
9th - the journalist that reported the insensitive remark is detained under ISA for reporting what ahmad-ismail-the-satan said about chinese.

if the remark that ahmad-ismail (i ran out of profanities to use against this guy) was so threatening to the national security, so threatening even the person that reported it can be arrested under ISA, why wasnt he arrested under ISA at the first place?!?!

****as i am typing this, i just learned that YB Teresa Kok has been arrested under ISA as well. for what reason is still unknown to me. ****

if Pakatan Rakyat doesnt topple the gomen soon..... i solemnly declare that i would be looking for another country to call my home.

RPK...........lets keep the fire burning!!!

2008-09-12T05:23:00.000-07:00

".... Today, I received many phone calls from concerned friends who told me that the government is considering detaining me under the Internal Security Act ‘very soon’.
If that does happen, then this could probably be the last article I write, at least until 16 September 2008. So I too need Anwar to succeed. If not I will be in Kamunting for quite some time to come and you will not hear from me over the next couple of years.
Yes, I too have placed, not only my money, but also my freedom on Anwar. And if Anwar fails to deliver his promise on 16 September 2008, not only he but I as well am headed for a fall. But I have confidence he will do it. And I have confidence that my stay in Kamunting will not be for two years but for a mere two weeks.

But if I am WRONG…..well, then see you maybe in six or seven years time, because for sure Najib Tun Razak will not release me in 2010 when he becomes Prime Minister. What he would do, instead, would be to rollover my two-year detention another two years, and another two years, and another two years, until I am too old to think and write anymore.

Till we meet again, if we do meet again, take care and keep the flame burning.
There is still a long fight ahead of us in bringing reforms to this beloved country of ours.

agriculture study trip my ass

2008-09-08T09:48:00.000-07:00

it takes 49 Members of Parliament (MP) to fly all the way to taiwan, to learn how to grow plants?
and so that they can debate the national budget better. ah right.

hey, wait a minute......

we have an automotive policy right?
why dont we send, say 50 MPs to germany to learn how they make cars.

and say, another 50 or so to australia to see how they market gold coast as a tourist destination.

and since they're on a rampage, i suggest we send 50 to russia to learn how they make vodka.

50 to US to see how they polish the statue of liberty.

seeing china emerged as the latest sporting nation, lets have 50 MPS fly to china to see how theyproduce world class athletes.

hey, belgium has nice flowers.
lets send 50 there as well. they might come in handy in cameron highland.

japan? yes please, lets have all the male MPs go there and learn how they shoot porn.
maybe skinner might be interested to blow up a few with his C4?

ah, how can we forget africa?
lets send the whole lot of BBC-MPs to africa to teach the apes there how to behave like apes.

lets see, the south pole!!!
some BBC-MPs dont have Datukship, no? why dont we send some to the south pole, and when they get back, they can be given datukship and nobody can dispute the award? smart?

then we have canada.
lets send 80, yeah, 80 coz its a large country to cover and our MPs might get lost. lets send 80 there to learn what is there to be learned so that we can send another 120 there to learn what was deemed worthy of learning by the initial 80.

and last but not least, lets send some of the more vocal ones, like YB bocor, YB terowong, YB son-in-law, YB keris, YB beruk, and the likes, to saiful's ass hole.
maybe they'll find it comfortable there and might decide to stay there for good, and spare us malaysians from being ridiculed by the world.

and the rest of the BN MPs? oh no, they wont be left out!! most certainly wont!!!
coz i'd suggest we send them to aghanistan for target practise.

agriculture study trip?
learn how to trim saiful's bush more believable lah!!!!
NIAMAH!!!!

BN, go fly kite lar.....

2008-08-30T02:27:00.000-07:00

Barisan Nasional. please for the sake of your own survival.....accept the truth, face reality, and go fly kite.

the more you resist, the more damage it'll do to your ownself. say bye bye to private jets and APs and istana zakaria for a while, and accept defeat gracefully.

the people of malaysia have rejected your administration.
so now quickly take a bow and leave the stage, and use the spare time to figure out how to keep your bank accounts secret.

the people have finally realized the power of democracy lies in their hand.
and the people want to give an alternative administration a chance to run this country like the way it should be.
if this alternative administration could not fulfill their promises to make malaysia a better country...........out they go in the next GE.

try to control the dissent by blocking a website, how stupid are you, really? instead of wasting time blocking an anti-gomen blog, why dont you spend the time looking for a brain on e-bay?

najib. sorry, YAB Najib. you think swearing on a Quran cant convince us that you're free from all the allegations thrown against you ah? you have the balls to swear in the name of Allah, why dun you use half the balls to appear in court to answer the allegations without handicapping the judiciary and making people disappear?

hey sleeping beauty, wake up lar abang oooi!!! people hate you lar, people despise you lar, people no want you to be our pm lar.......dont you get it?!

MCA ah peks oooooi.......unshackle yourself and break loose lar. oh wait, a dog is nothing without it's master. go eat your shit lar. want to represent malaysian chinese konon, its already an open secret that MCA is as corrupt and utterly useless than it's partner.
again, want to represent malaysian chinese konon, dont embarass us lar MCA....go fly kite lar.

MIC......ah neh Samy!!!!! you tak tau malu punya kah?!?! lu janji itu maika share mana pigi??
lu janji itu highway boleh bagus apasal retak lagi?? lu janji bagi duit kita orang bagi konsesi bikin highway, lepas tu mau bayar gantirugi dengan duit kita orang sama dia lagi apasal??

Gerakan.....number 1 clown in malaysia Dr Koh PhD (later he angry i dun address him as PhD holder)...........penangites threw you into the sea between island and jerejak already lar. you brought so much shame to penangites, people ridicule you cukup-cukup in their AGM, summore you go and defend them. what the fug is wrong with you?! tak dak chun-doi ah??!!
BN already think you are a liability, and the people think you are a lame clown......with all the PhD lar, Masters degree lar....you should know what to do lar........go fly kite lar!!!!!!

finally, to Barisan Alternatif........
you better do this properly, no violence, no riots.
kill racism. kill corruption. kill cronyism.
you made a vow to restore dignity to us malaysians.
we gave you the support and votes that you needed.
now, make us proud to be malaysians again.

otherwise, you can go fly kite also with the BN goons come next election.

Chiang Mai - part 1

2008-08-10T05:31:00.000-07:00

Wat Doi Suthep, the proud symbol of Chiang Mai.
it claims to house Lord Buddha's Relic within the confines of this magnificent temple. legend has it that the location of this was determined by a blessed elephant. an ancient siamese king put Lord Buddha's Relic on the back of this elephant, and set it free to wander. the elephant came to this spot, trumpeted, and died. and here Wat Doi Suthep was built.

Chiang Mai, the northern most major city of Thailand.
i was there for 5+1 days. plus 1 because i had to miss my stupid flight home.

was suppose to be going with a group of friends, but they had other priorities, or maybe its just me. what the heck, i had so much fun going alone. hahahaha.......

so, here are the photos .... in chronological order....

she shy

return tix to chiang mai, rm270 all in.
thank you air asia for making flying cheap, and *uncomfortable.

only airasia serves direct flight between KL and chiangmai, and only 1 flight per day, much to my dismay when i missed my flight home...hahaha.

airbus A320, a modern mid-range wide body bird

A320 exposing herself upon touching down

touching down in chiangmai international airport just before noon local time.
fortunately for us, we were 20 minutes ahead of schedule, coz just about when i lined up to get my passports stamped, several more flights came in, bringing several hundred people lining up at the 8 lanes immigration counter.

took a cab to my guesthouse.

the Gongkaew Huenkum Chiangmai Home

the gongkaew was my home away from home for 5 nights.
its freaking cheap, rm25/dorm bed, rm65/queen room, and rm85/queen + single bed.
its clean. its beautiful. its perfect.

actually, i gathered a lot of useful information from nicolekiss's blog prior to my visit to chiangmai. so, i strongly recommend those who want to do a bit of traveling around indo-china,
please go to her blog and read about what she has to say, since she's covered most of indo-china already.

right after i checked in myself and freshened up, i hit the streets.
chiangmai is a very easy city to navigate yourself around.
chiangmai is an ancient walled city. with a defensive wall built around the city, and a moat to keep enemies out.
part of the walls and the moat remain as signatures of chiangmai.
with the moat as the rectangular perimeter of the city, its near impossible to remain lost inside the city.

*courtesy of nicolekiss

armed with a simple tourist map, and a good sense of bearing, you're good to go.
every tourist attraction within city walls is just walking distance away. i strongly suggest visitors to equip themselves with a really comfy pair walking shoes.
tuk-tuks or any other form of public transport is not a necessity at this point. walking is the best way to smell the roses.

a quick research on wikitravel reveals that chiangmai is home to over 300 temples!!!
which i found it impossible to doubt, since there is like a temple at every corner of a street. and mind you these temples are not small ok? most of the temples' history spans over hundreds of years. some have a lot of bling-blings, and some have huge-huge structures that is nothing less than jaw-dropping impressive!!!

despite my mild interest in history and structures, it is impossible to visit every temple there is in chiangmai, and trust me, your interest wanes significantly after visiting 5-6 temples......

i believe this is Wat Phra Singh

a very typical layout of the temple ground, 2 halls in perpendicular direction to each other, and a pagoda behind it.

some holy ceremony here, but i have no idea what its about. but it looks really important.

very beautiful

wat chedi luang which is one of my favorites, this is a significantly important temple for chiangmai, not only for its impressive 80+m pagoda, but also its history.

*to be continued.................Chiang Mai Night Bazaar!!!

Edwin McCain's I Couldn't Ask for More

Lying here with you, listening to the rain.
Smiling just to see a smile upon your face.
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life.
I found all I've waited for and I could not ask for more.
Looking in your eyes, seeing all I need.
Girl, I think you are it's everything to me.
These are the moments I know heaven must exist.
These are the moments I know all I need is this.
I have all I've waited for and I could not ask for more.

[Reff:]
I could not ask for more than this time together.
I couldn't ask for more that this time with you.
Every breath has been answered. Every dream that has come through.
Yeah, right here in this moment, it's that we're all meant to be.
(Oh) here with you, here with me.

And these are the moments I thank God that I'm alive.
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life.
I've got all I've waited for and I could not ask for more.

[Repeat Reff]

I could not ask for more than the love you gave me
cos it's all I've waited for.
And I could not ask for more.

when nuffnang revealed the theme for the upcoming event.......i was suddenly hit with the most elaborate idea!!! dress to KILL!!! i will come up....no, i actually came up with the most elaborate costume(s) that would GUARANTEE me the xps lappy.

then reality hit me. "siao ah? where got time?"

my current workload would require me to check through at least 100 pieces of documents a day, scream at at least 5 people, kena sound by at least 5 people, write/receive at least 50 emails a day, converse at least 2 hours on the phone a day, run at least 2km in the office a day, scrutinize through financial/contract accounts in the millions, read and approve at least 10 reports a day.........etc etc......

how lah got time to make a true to size blue whale costume?...and the logistics would be absolutely crazy....need to send to KL from alor star wor!!

sigh........i am gonna disappoint so many people.

but fret not!!! give me a pass, and i shall not disappoint any of you peeps!!!!

my brain juice started flowing, albeit not much left from the day's work. i decided to come up with something, that could take advantage of what i already have most in my body! see, smart or not?

wisdom tells me i wont be able to pull off a costume like this lar......

now, apart from hair and the curly stuff which you can basically find on every square inch of my body, and luckily not on my eyes and tongue..the next most 'element' that you can find in abundance on my body is.......FATS!!!! i swear those didnt come from what i eat!!!

uh ha!! the first component of my costume is already 'ready'..now, lets see what animals share my trait...........

so i can probably dress up like....

a warthog!!!!

i am a grumpy old man...choohweiming can attest to that....as he kept approaching me during the summer splash '08 to tell me...

"eh uncle...why look sooo grumpy?!?! smile a bit lah.."

"i thought there will be nudity?"....i replied

hey, that's my neck!!! and i think this is grumpy-ness to the max!!!
but i aint wearing a collar!! no no....no collar...some homos' gonna catch me for their bdsm shit!! aint gonna happen!!!

what about a hippo?

huge? check....fat?check....grumpy face? check...
crocked teeth?...no....

damnit.

i could only think of one way of dressing up like an elephant.....
it's gonna drive many girls wild, but it's not gonna be a pretty sight...

apt, since my name in chinese means 'bear'...maybe this is it?

hey.....i have a better idea for a costume!!! i know....i know...

hahahahaha.......

wait till you see what i am coming in as!!!! hahahahahah

Patrick Teoh's take on the recent Fuel Hike

2008-06-08T05:06:00.000-07:00

A well written article by Mr Patrick Teoh.

Advice, advice everywhere
It always happens. Haven't you noticed? Whenever there is a price increase. Of anything. Commodities. Fuel. School fees. Whatever. That is soon followed by a barrage of advice. Mostly from our politicians and most times echoed by our mainstream media boys who do sometimes get independantly creative too.

So, the price of petrol has gone up by more than 40%. Electricity tariffs are also up. And of course the price of EVERYTHING will be up soon enough. And so the advice brigade go to work.

Change your lifestyle is an ever-popular piece. We've been told to change our lifestyle so often by our government that to change some more would probably mean that we actually go live in trees and eat roots and grasses.

Here's a new one. At least I don't remember having heard it before...

"[People] need to be thrifty in their life. If they have some spare land near their house, they can start planting vegetables. For those staying in high-rise like apartments, they can use the pots or the hydroponics method". This great piece of advice was mouthed off by Mohd. Yusuf Abdul Rahman, the communications director of FOMCA.

Spare land near their houses to plant vegetables???!!! High-rise apartment dwellers to plant using hydrpponics method???!!! Where's this guy been the past 24 years? So in addition to having to work 8-10 hours a day and fight traffic commuting while burning fuel you can't afford you're expected to come home, change into your sarong and go be a farmer???!!! Anyway, any law-abiding Malaysian will tell you that soon's your vegetable patch is ready for harvest DBKL will pay you a visit, confiscate your vegetables for unlicensed farming and issue you a summons to appear in court!

And today's STAR carried a whole list of what you should do to save fuel while using your car. One of the "tips" given was that we should drive with our windows closed as open windows create wind drag which would require more burning of fuel to propel the vehicle. Well, thank you all over the place, Mr. Wong Chun Wai and your creative writers. Drive with closed windows? Wouldn't that mean that we would have to turn on air-conditioning and wouldn't that translate into using more fuel? Or are you suggesting that Malaysians drive with car windows closed and no air-conditioning? You can't be serious! Really? You try it first la.

A question that I would like to ask anyone of you out there who know is this. Didn't the government say earlier that the fuel subsidy issue was going to solved in a way that would tax the rich and help the poor? So what happened ah? I thought the bigger the car you drive the more you pay. So now the price of petrol is RM2.70 for everyone. So I am a poor working slob driving a Kancil and barely making ends meet and I pay the same price as the baarger who is chauffeured around in a 3,500cc petrol guzzling monster who vacations in the Bahamas twice a year? So okay, he doesn't get the RM625 annual rebate. Big fucking deal! That's RM1.71 a day. That won't buy me a kopi-O once the full impact of the price increases kicks in. So what happened there? Aiyah! Too complicated la to have 2 systems la. So everybody kena la. Of course some kena worse than others la. But don't demonstrate, okay? Thank you ah.

A commentor on the other post here said......start doing something about the whole situation instead of whining like babies! What good does it bring lahhh.... We all angry, mogok dont come to work, strike, then what? Got difference ar? The first thing to change is not govt but our attitudes.

Well, thank you for that piece of advice!!! You obviously are missing the point. Sure we should start doing something about it. What? Live with it? Say, okay what to do la? Thank you very much.

It is this type of attitude that needs changing.Am I angry because price of fuel has increased? Am I angry that the government no longer subsidises fuel prices? No. I am angry because of how I as a Malaysian citizen has been treated in the whole scheme of this price increase thing. Instead of giving me ample warning and advising me on proper steps and precautions to take and giving me a target date to prepare for the impending crunch they say..SURPRISE! CAUGHT YA THERE! HAHAHAHAHA...

And I am supposed to find that amusing? And what's with the fucking advice?

NIAMAH!!! NIAMAH!!! NIAMAH!!! NIAMAH!!!

MALAYSIA BOLEH ............................my head!

2008-06-04T07:51:00.000-07:00

why are we 'burdened' with expensive fuel when we are a net exporter of crude petroleum, TOP GRADE petroleum.....?

why are we 'forced' into buying locally made cars of sub-standard quality at such a high price?

why are we 'forced' into paying for tolled highways which cause more headaches than helping solve them?

why are our highways, built with tax-payers money, maintained by tax-payers' money, earning buta toll money, still need to be compensated with tax-payers' money??

why is corruption so notoriously rampant, yet the gomen still have the face to deny it, let alone act on it?

why are gomen contracts are only 'given' to the 'privileged' few, yet they deny nepotism and cronyism exist?

why are citizens made to pay ridiculous amount of tax, yet we virtually get nothing in return?

why are there so many citizens still being denied of their citizen's rights for equal chances in this country they call home?

why are the politicians so stupid yet they still garnered controlling votes in the last GE?

why are we getting such low incomes, relative to our counterparts in other countries? ie, a design engineer in UK earns euro4,000 and she pays euro6,000 for an imported car: a design engineer earns rm3,000 in malaysia, and he pays for rm60,000 for a locally made car. where is the logic?

malaysia is made into a parody of a country, by the incompetency of the ruling party that we should have ousted in the last GE.........now we pay....dearly.

sheon's 15 weird facts....

2008-05-19T08:47:00.000-07:00

like i'm not weird enough already, my fellow DGMB member wants me to disclose more disturbing facts about me. go to http://hweiming.blogspot.com/ and flood him for me please.

1. mozzies : sheon hates mozzies so freaking, he enjoys hunting them down, and squashing them into pulp.

2. sleeping : sheon just enjoys sleeping late. tired or not....there is no sleeping before 12.00 midnite. oh, but sheon sure enjoys his sleep!

3. addiction : many enjoys a ciggy after a hearty meal. sheon enjoys a good serving of cold water. its not healthy, i know....but at least its better than a ciggy rite?

4. fantasy : sheon likes to fantasize of becoming the prime minister of a country....*a-malaysia-hem*. hey, there's no way i am dumber than him ok?

5. joker : sheon just likes to make people laugh. be a jester? so be it. he likes it when people around him are laughing and happy.

6. shopping : sheon's a loyal practitioner of retail-therapy. when sheon is feeling down, he likes to buy stuff and also...go on binge eating.

7. depression : sheon was suffering from depression not too long ago.

8. food : among the must-try in my list, truffles, premium caviar, and saffron.

9. love : tragic. nuff said.

10. soft spots : laksa, rare prime steak, shoes, nice chicks, animals, eggs, coffee, tea, cold beverages, caeser salad, sashimi, oysters, mushrooms, soup, fruits.......and the list goes on.

11. reading : sheon likes reading for fun, but not reading for assignments and exams.

12. record : sheon attained his driving license legally, within a month from registration for driving lessons.

13. morning : what better way to start your mornings than letting go a good loud fart when you wake up.

14. violence : sheon hates violence. despite his size advantage, he's never hit anybody before or participated in any fights before.

15. singledom : two conflicting thoughts in sheon's head - sheon enjoys being single for its absolute freedom without any commitment; however, sheon really hopes to find a nice decent girl to start a new life with.

so, there you go. and for setting my sights to win the nobel peace prize next year, i shall not tag anybody.

prescription for a stressed-up workaholic -- TIESTO!!

2008-05-14T03:09:00.000-07:00

yeah, my blog desperately needed updating. i know you guys have been looking at RPK's face for the past 1-2 weeks, and getting pretty bored of him.

but here's the problem. my current team is severely under-staffed. i should have at least 6 engineers to assist me in my work, and at least 10 supervisors to delegate my responsibilities to. now, my team is running at full pace with only half of the resources that should be allocated to us. until backup arrives, i will prostitute myself to my job.

my desk

all work and no play, makes sheon a dangerous man. fortunately for all, tiesto rocked away all my worries and work related concerns for the weekend, albeit temporary, but it felt awfully good.

let me just clarify first, that i am no clubbing mia kaki. i super hate going to ahbengs+ahlians filled joints, for i think those people belong to the seafood section in tesco. progressive,house, trance and dangdut means nothing to me but noise. and clubbing means nothing more than getting tipsy from overpriced drinks and checking girls out with a bunch of ham sap friends.

now, naturally the name tiesto doesnt ring any bell in my system other than getting me going, "now thats an awfully cool name to have"...... but a quick research on him tells me this dude's concert was something that i wouldnt want to miss........and oh boy, after the gig, i think i would probably have killed myself if i did!!!

two words aptly describe the concert, and whole party scene..... MULTIPLE ORGASMIC.

yes, i experienced multiple orgasms during the concert. and no, there was no sex-fest during the party, contrary to what the newspapers might have led people to believe. if there was a sex-fest, i would surely know. hahahahahaha.........

(the local newspapers are hopeless in delivering truths. here's truth for you, government controlled media SUCKS!!!)

okay...back to the party.

"2 Days of Freedom" it was called. We got our tix at rm78 and i thought i was a pretty reasonable price to pay for a international music fest. it was selling at rm113 at the party.

if this was the ticket to a sex-fest, i'd be very worried

cruising on the PD highway, after being caught in a stupid jam on the highway

our apartment beside the Corus Hotel, smells like a wet cupboard

getting ready to partaaaay the night away!!!

huge crowd, but was pretty orderly

getting prepared for the party, while waiting for tiesto to come on

as the clock struck midnight...the REAL party started.......

tiesto really knows how to work the crowd. the lightings, the pyrotechnics, the visuals, and the music,his music, aaawww....his music. he gets you moving to the beat of the build-up.....and just when you least expected it....WHAM!!! he hits you with the climax that brings euphoria to every single cell in your body. and leaving you wanting for more, every single time!! and then it goes again....and again....and again.

we were at the mercy of his music for 3 hours....

3 hours....pffffft....we could go on and on for EVER!!!!

if this is no multiple-orgasm to your senses, i dont know what is.

here's an idea for you BN, throw a tiesto concert in every state for free, i'm sure you'll manage to fish some youngster votes. hahahahaha.....losers.

my estimation puts the crowd at 15,000 strong. most people were in their most fancy beach wear. chicks in bikinis....*hi-5*!!! security was so tight, they even opened up cigarette packs at the entrance to sniff out weed and stuff. the ladies didnt get off so easily too as they got their bras frisked for......C4?

the venue was close to perfect. toilets were aplenty, and surprisingly well maintained. there was even a giant 'igloo' erected, for hot sweaty people to chill inside. beer was sold at rm12 per pop, and rm100 for a dozen.

there were actually 2 shows running simultaneously, one at each end of the venue. of course the main gig was tiesto lah. the other end was playing R&B...was more appealing to the younger crowd. we connoisseurs, go for the real deal.

the crowd was generally well behaved. everybody was just trying to have a good time, music and all. but of course i cant deny that there might be some kids under the influence of drugs. its bad, really. but do you condemn KL Pavilion and demand for it to close down if the authorities caught some kids getting their kicks in the basement parking?

ok, so some kids got so intoxicated they passed out in the open. riiiiight, so when is DBKL gonna seal off all the bars in heritage row?? what about jalan ampang?

and the allegation that the party promotes promiscuous activities?? why dont you go ban all movies, tv, internet, magazines, advertisements, commercials, goat farms....etc then?

yeah, couples might be all charged up for some loving action after the party. but hey, it's their choice, and it most certainly is not tiesto's! never during the concert, i hear ma man tiesto goes "hey kid, go fuck the chick beside you.".

why? why do they have to relate everything and every action we do, to having sex. sex. sex. and sex???

"ooooo...look at that, silky straight hair.....i'm thinking of wanting to have sex with her..."

WHAM!! advertisement showing women's hair is banned.

"ooooo...look at that couple, holding hands in the public. they are promoting casual sex...."

WHAM!! holding hands in public is condemned.

"ooooo...look at the girl's cleavage.....it's bringing out the rapist in me......"

WHAM!! every pair of titties on prints and tv are blurred.

like wtf? go be an eunuch you fucking idiots.

ok, ok. got a little carried away. hahahaha......

well, anyway. to conclude my report on the tiesto rave party......

IT SURE WAS SOME AWESOME SHIT!!!!

FREEDOM!!!

from my recent penang trip

2008-04-30T21:33:00.000-07:00

authorities are on full assault to attract more visitors to malaysia, welcoming everyone the chance absorb all the splendors this magnificent country has to offer.

and then you have absurdities like this still ......

hey you people sitting there at your thrones in the tourism board....you all stupid one ah??? people work on weekdays and off on sundays one lar, dumb ass(es)!!!

on a separate note, what do you call a huge bird with a monster-dick sticking out from it's head?

like this....

" hey ma, i spotted a dick-head!!!!"

to my dearest gangbangers....

2008-04-25T23:47:00.000-07:00

i start with a sincere apology to the gangbangers....for i couldnt find time to participate in the "Definitely Gang, Maybe Bang" exercise. i was extremely busy the whole week, and i didnt have the resources to blog about anything at all.

you see, we had a kick-ass movie outing+lunch meetup last week. all 16 kick-ass bloggers attended (17 if i count myself in..but i said "kick-ass blogger", which i'm not, coz i'm just a casual weekend blogger). right after the movie, our innit-guru yatz was hit with a bright idea. that got his brain juice flowing on overdrive......and the plan to tsunaminised innit was hatched.

everybody was highly enthusiastic about the grand idea, and couldnt wait to be on the offensive. thousands of pictures captured that day were traded over the internet so vigorously that i'm sure we fried several hotmail and gmail servers.

come D-Day. the innit board was at the mercy of the gang-bangers. for the first time in the history of innit, all top 10 posts were from the same 'source' and carried the same title.

1. pamsong
2. YapThomas
3. Yatz
4. David Cheong
5. amb3r1te
6. joshuaongys
7. Dillon
8. Choo Hwei Ming
9. aronil
10. Kellster
11. Narymama
12. Nigelais
13. Stanley
14. Randy Khoo
15. Aaron Ho
16. Michelle

it's an amazing feat. amazing how such a concerted effort between 'strangers' could make such an impact on the malaysian blogging community. bravo to you peeps. nigelais, you are my man-of-the-match, no doubt about that!

i love the internet. i love everything about blogging. and i love the blogging community that i am part of. especially the gangbangers. dont want to be corny.....but i had to say it..... I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! thanks for spicing up this old man's social life. :)

*you can stop puking now pam.......

innit what?

2008-04-20T22:04:00.000-07:00

blame it on my aging brain cells, and having the whole process accelerated by booze and late nights.

me no understand how to INNIT. apparently its like a god's gift to fellow bloggers to get traffic and stuff. and the outcome of yesterday's bloggers gangbang (aptly called david....you genius lar wei) to have some tsunami thing going.....i was like..."hey, throw me a freaking bone wei..."

now i know why my dad doesnt know what i know i knew. (*scratches head*)

lets see if i remember all the names of my new buddies...

1. pamsong (garang....she wanted to take one of my limbs, like wtf?!)
2. yapthomas (spin doctor)
3. narymama (co-spin doctor)
4. aronilinora (drama queen....literally)
5. yatz (err....innit guru)
6. amy (sweet one)
7. joshuaong (coke tattoo on forearm)
8. michelle (with the kick-ass bluetooth earpiece)
9. the tall guy
10. nigel (this guy promised me chicks in bikinis)
11. davidc (the hamsap one)
12. kellster (the hyper one)
13. hweiming (no doubt..his is the longest)
14. the short-haired guy with specs......
15. the guy with the laptop......

see, i told you i am bad with names...and numbers........and names......and INNIT.

now, WHERE THE HELL IS MY BEER!?!?

chick flick

2008-04-16T19:00:00.000-07:00

chick flick day this coming sunday. watching definitely maybe. being tinki's brainchild, i cant possibly say no, can i? that chick is garang. hahahahhaha........

talking about chick flicks, i highly highly recommend "sex is zero". its a korean movie, its not a recent movie, in fact i think it's at least 5 years old. this movie is undoubtedly my favorite korean movie. not that i watch alotta korean movies or dramas...but..still..i think "sex is zero" is great! got some minor nude scenes, but that doesnt distract the context of the movie as a romantic comedy.

oh yeah, i'm transferred outta the god forsaken town of gurun, to the regional HQ in alor star. the people here are great. office people and the townsfolk...gonna miss my days here.

but one thing i hate, really really hate is that some irresponsible traders are treating us like cash-cows....city people mah....constructing massive infrastructure project mah....how not to treat like cash-cows? especially when it comes to food. we used to pay for rm2.50 for a generous helping of chap-fan (econ rice), but now have to pay for rm3.50-4.00. still bearable, but i think its not ethical lor. these people have tunnel vision when it comes to business.

wanted to purchase a laptop. was seriously scouting for a power one. sweetie-pie linora strongly insisted that i look up the xps series, which i did, and fell in love with instantly. i made some calls to dell, and got a great bargain for 1 customized 2.4C2D, 3GB ram, full spec 15" screen, and a 256mb dedicated graphics card, and all the standard sugar and spices....rm4545!!!! bargain or not?!!!??.........

alas, my kiamsiap-ness kicks in. and i negotiated myself to settle for ....nothing. extra cash in my pocket is better than one kick-ass machine with no extra cash in my pocket. there goes another rm4545 into my buy-myself-a-lamborghini-reventon fund. with another rm9,995,455 to go, the effort is rapidly gaining pace..........

entry on my most recent penang trip next.

p/s: ada siapa yang ada pergi ke tiesto mia parti next month?

all in a day's work

2008-04-08T02:18:00.000-07:00

this, is the old conventional railway system that has been the backbone of the malaysian transportation for the past century. beaten and unreliable, keretapi tanah melayu (ktmb) needs a complete revamp, fast!

to reach alor star from kuala lumpur by train, it takes 12-14 hours. snail pace by today's standards.

a single line (track) runs across the country, serving both the south bound train and the north bound train. imagine the lost-time when a train has to stop by the station to give passage way to the train coming from the opposite direction. hence, the need for a double tracking railway system, that has a dedicated track for each direction.

over the past decade, ktmb (the national train operator) has upgraded their locomotive. their flagship being the "blue tiger" loco. these massively powerful engines can churn out the power to pull 80 carriages at speeds of up to 160km/h!!! compare that to the conventional locos, which could only pull a measly 30-40 carriages.

alas, conventional rails are still founded on wooden sleepers, and the rail itself is inadequate to sustain the dynamic loading imposed by the speed and weight of a modern locomotive, the malaysian "blue tigers" are being grossly under-utilized until today, despite being put into service years ago!

this, my friends, is an electrified railway track. the most obvious difference is that you can see overhead cables running parallel above the track. these cable supply the electricity that propels the electric-trains, ie komuter EMU.

to give added strength to the railway tracks to sustain the load and capacity of the modern locomotives, the steel rails are substantially larger and tougher than the old ones. these rails are also founded on pre-stressed concrete sleepers instead of wooden ones. there is another trick to making a modern railway track, tho many would not understand the reasons behind this, and that is the steel rails are pre-stressed, and locked in tension. don't worry, i will share this information in my future entry.

earthworks, is probably the biggest chunk of work that we have to bite into. earthworks include the deforestation, stripping of earth, excavation of soil, and eventually the build up of the track embankment.

a bulldozer at work.

and some times, the clearing comes awfully close to people's backyards. this is of course the source of many concerns and complaints.

why do we need earthwork at the first place?

first, earthwork is like formatting your hard disk. you clear everything up within your boundary, and prepare a fresh canvas to start afresh.

secondly, the ground condition where we intend to have our embankment built is undesirable. too soft, too much organic matter, waterlogged, etc. so earthwork clears of of these unsuitable materials.

thirdly, earthwork carves the ground to the required dimensions and details. too high a slope? cut it away. too deep a trench? fill it up.

usually what follows after earthworks, is ground treatment. i shall elaborate further in my following entry. but a brief introduction on ground treatment......

ground treatment involves the methods of improving the strength of the ground. every element that sits on top of the ground, will exert a pressure on the ground. if the pressure is higher than what the ground can support, then the thing will sink into the ground, like this....

there are numerous methods of improving the ground condition. the controlling factors being the feasibility of such treatment, and ultimately the cost implication. best results at the cheapest price.

interesting things happen at site.

snakes are everywhere......many are caught and released.

animals, both domestic and wild roam freely all over the place. and the unfortunate ones caught in the head light of an oncoming train usually die a horrible death. there was this particular week sometime not too long ago, that had us wondering what have the cows been eating? 5 cows were killed by the train that week itself. i had a good look at the anatomy of a cow, i now know where my favorite cuts of meat is located in a cow.

*this one had it's head smashed up coz it attempted to copulate with one of my men's finger.

zipping around jungle clearings mean encounters with insects are aplenty; giant centipedes, millipedes, spiders, grasshoppers, etc.

gunung jerai of gurun. not bad for a work place eh?

not bad eh.....

Untold Stories about Guan Eng

Untold Story about Guan Eng

I had written 2 paragraphs about my visit to Guan Eng when he was serving his sentence in Kajang Prison. I made that visit in October 1998 together with Chong Siew Chiang.I had merely written that during that visit in Kajang Prison, Chong Siew Chiang and I had a heart to heart talk with Guan Eng for 1 hr. 45 minutes in respect of his legal case which had cost him his freedom, political office, professional career, pension and much else besides.

I had said that it was a sad but eventful meeting. I was economical in my words.

There is one aspect of my visit to Guan Eng that day that I did not write about. Actually, I could not write about it, because it was so, so humiliating and sad. I did not write about it because Kit Siang did not want me to see it. But I did see what Kit Siang desperately tried to let me not see it.

Kit Siang was supposed to drive us to Kajang Prison. He was busy that morning and our departure from our HQ was delayed a little. Kit Siang was speeding like nobody’s business. When we arrived at the Prison, we “checked” in at the office. It was at this time that I saw the prisoners walking out in their prison uniform for row calls at the wardens’ office. They had to squat in rows, every time and every day that they did so, and the prison wardens would call their numbers.

As I walked in, I saw the familiar face of a prisoner with an unfamiliar crew hair cut. He was squatting at the front row. Both his hands were placed over the back of his head …

We had a split second eye contact but I pretended not to see … It was very dissimilar to those other cases when I was required to visit the prison as a lawyer.

Half an hour later, we met. Kit Siang did not join us. I would not know where he had gone to. Guan Eng started by saying that he wanted me to send a message to Party members and supporters in Sarawak not to despair over his fate. “Tell them that they can break my back, but they cannot break my soul.”

As we discussed his case, I knew that he was not well at all. He was pale and complained of body pain. He also complained that he had not consumed sufficient salt, the food being tasteless. We were worried that his fragile body won’t take him through. We were concerned about his safety in there. He assured us that the inmates there had treated him alright, that they all knew that he was wronged.

It was unbelievable that even when he was at the pit of his life, he had his heart for the Party members, in our case, the comrades in Sarawak.

We told him our view about the legal case. It was clear to us that he was fated to sit behind bars for another 10 months. He knew as much. Royal pardon was out of question.

As Kit Siang drove us away from the Kajang Prison, he made sure that we had a taste of the signature food of Kajang town – satay. At the coffee shop, Kit Siang greeted the town folks who wished him well and to remain strong, but in his leaner body frame, I saw the pains that he had endured. Political adversaries had long accused him of cronyism and nepotism, and the building of a Lim dynasty. The fate of his son losing everything after standing up for a Malay girl who was raped by a Chief Minister, and having to languish in jail for 18 months, showed the cruelty and venom of those accusations.

Siew Chiang was habouring many questions inside his chest and it took a long time for him to break his silence. He asked Kit Siang why he was speeding desperately this morning. Kit Siang then told us. He wanted to make it to the Prison before the row call. If we had made it in time, our meeting could begin, and Guan Eng would not have to take part in the row call. During the row calls, the prisoner had to squat in a row, hands behind the head … As the father, Kit Siang did not want us to see his son in that moment of ultimate humiliation.

Siew Chiang told Kit Siang that he did not see Guan Eng in the row. I said I did not also. Then Kit Siang told us where Guan Eng was squatted. He sped, because he had not wanted us to see the ultimate humiliation to his son.

But I had sinned with my eyes.

The signature satay was tasteless to me amidst cries of injustice that innocent people had to suffer.

On our way home, there was hardly any communication between us. Our hearts were heavier than lead. In my mind, I saw the flashes of a prisoner, hands behind his head, his face so familiar, squatting in the row like other inmates. I repeatedly asked myself whether Guan Eng deserved this. Why should I see that moment in his life when his father had wanted me not to? But that was what it was, for Guan Eng had to endure that humiliation for 365 days.

It was after midnight in Kuching not long after Guan Eng’s release. We had finished our party function and all were hungry for supper. We found a little place in order to replenish our tummies. There was no food left except plain porridge. I ordered some, teasing Guan Eng that the porridge must be better than what he was used to in Kajang. Guan Eng cursed me for reminding him of what he had gone through.

That day about 2 weeks ago, when I stood for photograph with YAB Lim Guan Eng behind his Chief Minister’s desk in Penang, I recalled what I had seen of this man. From a humiliated prisoner, he had been vindicated by the powers in the people’s hands.

Much that YAB Lim had never responded to anything I said about his less than glamorous times behind bars, he will always remember the ultimate humiliation that a person had gone through. He will know the true meaning of justice.

In less than 10 years, God has shown YAB Lim Guan Eng the way. May YAB Lim now shower mercy and love to the great people of Penang.

2008-03-30T19:15:00.000-07:00

whoop-dee-doooooo....i got tagged. i got tagged.

things you MIGHT want to know about sheon. lemme see......

satu : "sheon is f@cking sked of spiders" is an understatement. sheon is arachnophobic. to see sheon squeal like a little possessed girl, and flee like a headless chicken?...throw a spider at him, the bigger the better. large bugs and insects that are not so common in the house might also do the trick, but not as effective and noisy.

hey.....i am not suppose to be telling you little devils this, am i?

dua : sheon loves shoes. bags. jackets. food. sports. and stuff. that's why sheon makes a good shopping partner for his many she-buddies. and it's no wonder sheon has many she-buddies, on top of his many many he-buddies.

on the last count, sheon has about 10 pairs of shoes...that are active in duty. sheon is anticipating on a rapid expansion to that figure by the end of this year.

tiga : sheon is a free-thinker. but not an atheist either. he thinks there is a greater force beyond human comprehension, and beyond the reasoning of science. however, sheon thinks it is not necessary to commit himself to one religion to believe in what he believe. or simply, he hasn't found his calling yet. but he likes to read on religion..the practices, the cultures, and the histories. ...and of coz....the conspiracy theories.

empat : sheon loves construction. everything construction. little sheon found his calling when he witnessed a school project in front of his house. from a humble piece of flatland in alorstar, into a massive school building in matter of months. that intrigued him greatly. one thing led to another, fate and destiny has led sheon into his current capacity of a senior executive in an international construction giant at a fairly young age of 25.

lima : sheon loves artsy-fartsy stuff. sheon was an active promoter and advocate of classical music to his fellow uni-mates. he arranged many student visits to the philharmonic orchestra hall. once, he was awarded with a balcony seat, for the evening of waltz pieces by j.strauss II (sheon's favorite). he felt like a king that evening. sheon thinks paintings are nice too.

enam : sheon had only one romantic relationship in his life. quite contrary to popular belief that is. this mis-perception of sheon has started ever since he was in high school. reasons because sheon was in this small but powerful clique that has it's influence in every level of school politics. everybody knew us by name (we werent bullies, please, we hated bullies and we were sorta like the anti-thesis to bullying). a few members gained notoriety for being players. somehow this image got on to sheon, and it stuck. summore sheon was way slimmer back then and a star athlete all the way through university, quite hemsem one also.
sheon believes a relationship should only start if there is true feelings for each other. there must be mutual respect, understanding, loving, trusting. IF indeed true love is dead in this world, then chances are sheon would end up alone, alas.

tujuh : the only food sheon doesnt eat, are food that are illegal, or deemed illegal by sheon. sheon will not purchase sharksfin soup. however will consume it if served, but not without protesting. *scratches head.....what am i saying???.....well, you get the point.*
sheon likes peanuts, but he doesnt agree with them being served with nasi lemak. sheon loves cheese, bitter chocolates, japanese, steak, vege..............okok..sheon just loves food lar.

lapan : sheon loves his family most. enough said.

sembilan : sheon loves reading. but is horrible at language. loves chinese culture, but hates reading chinese characters, coz its too difficult to master, doesnt really speak good chinese at that too. loves english literature but sucks at it. loves western cultures and philosophies, but hates white-supremist ideology. loves japanese girls but hates japan's wartime history.

sepuluh : sheon loves pets, animals, and all fauna. used to have chickens, ducks, dogs, tortoise, fish, rabbits for pets (all at one time). now sheon has 2 dogs. contemplating on getting a big-ass aquarium ecology for a miniature fishy-fishy. oh yeah, sheon talks to his pets. he sometimes thinks they actually understand him.....sheon's pets are bi-lingual.

there you go linora. thanks for the tag. hahahahahahahahahaaa

Cindy for Malaysian Dream Girl 2008

2008-03-23T02:26:00.000-07:00

say hi to cindy.

now, for the uninitiated, there is this reality show called malaysian dreamgirl in the running. you can look it up at www.malaysiandreamgirl.tv . its sort of like america's next top model, but on a smaller scale.

the unique thing about this program is that, you only get to watch it on the internet. and to really spice things up, two of my favorite bloggers are competing for the grand prize of rm1billion contract with ford models and versace and louis vuitton and gucci...and..and........ok, crap. i dont actually know what is the grand prize other than there's a car to be won, and some fashion contracts lah.

ringo of www.cheeserland.com on the left, and cindy of www.hotpinkchili.blogspot.com on the right.

both are my blogging friends, and both are sizzling hot. and i think both are good to go for the top spot in malaysian dream girl. here lies my dilemma: who gets my votes?

my honest answer will be.....cindy.

i think cindy has the look. that special look that sets her apart from the other hotties. i think her physique is well cut out. however, i think fiqa has the best body (and curves) of the 12 finalist, its just that i think she lacks versatality in the expression dept. cindy is pretty smart, dont let her bimbo-ish inclined blog misguide you. she holds a degree in comtemporary art or something.. (hehehe....i am an engineer...so i dunno the difference.)...and she was an Ace student in her school. (there's so much to learn from reading her blog)

now. she needs to work on her catwalk, and pace herself properly. she needs to try to tame down her eagerness to bring-sexy-back. and she needs to know how to work on her poses to capitalize on her stronger features.

one of my favorite shots of her.

and my most favorite picture posted on her blog. (save it and use it for your wallpaper)

now, just go and pay www.malaysiandreamgirl.tv a visit. (shhhhhh......there's even a behind the scene lingerie photo session that'll bleed your nose)....... and if you think cindy should win it, like how i think she should, just send in your votes............

to vote, send DREAM 03 to 33001

*each vote costs rm1.00 (yes, i agree its a tad expensive...but....)

CINDY.......ALL THE BEST TO YOU!!!!!...

*and to you too ringo.......... :) *

what do i do?

2008-03-17T19:12:00.000-07:00

i get this alot......" project engineer?....eh..what exactly do you do ah?"

ok, maybe its just me. still, i am gonna describe my job anyway....

a construction project generally consists of 3 parties....1) client, 2) consultant, and 3) contractor.
the client finances the project, and pays all the relevant contractors. the consultant designs and dictate how the project is built, ie. if its a skyscraper, consultants will design the extent of the founding structure, how big the columns should be, how to transfer the wind load into the foundation, how utilities should be running, and many many things that a lay person wouldnt have thought about. contractor, contractors are the people that get things done. its that simple.

i am currently working on the controversial double tracking project (i am no amateur in controversial projects, my first job was building the foundation for KL Pavilion, and my second job was the construction of the KL-Putrajaya Highway, and my current team built the SMART Tunnel).

details about my project? imagine KTM Komuter being extended to the thai border. spans from ipoh to padang besar (the northern tip of malaysia), 80+ nos of bridges of all sizes, stations, halts, high-rise apartments, roads, offices, a viaduct across bukit merah lake, 3 tunnels, a giant swing bridge, etc etc...... every aspect of this project is in astronomical figures, cost of project is rm12,500,000,000 . millions of cubic meter of earth will be excavated, millions more will be used to fill up the embankment, 38 engineering consultants will be engaged, unprecedented in any projects in malaysia, thousands of sub-contractors will be hired.......

the downside of this project is that thousands of people taking residence alongside the existing track will be displaced. environmental impact will be vast.

to further breakdown the operating structure of a main-contractor, you have the office team, and you have the site team. the office team runs the planning, documentation, compiles reports, makes claims, deals with the client(s) & authorities. whilst the site team runs the operation on site, managing resources, site planning, and all the dirty works.

sheon manages the flow of information. bringing the issues into the board room from the site, and subsequently relaying the information and decisions to be implemented to site. sheon has the authority to call for meetings (sometimes chairs them as well) between consultants and contractors, sheon has the authority to screen through progress claims from subcontractors for discrepencies, sheon has the responsibility to assure the clients that construction is carried out as per design. sheon shares part of the burden of making sure project does not burst the budget or finish behind schedule. so as you can see, my job scope is akin to that of a assistant manager. in construction, you dont get managerial positions young.

no easy job. my current jurisdiction is over the stretch from sungai petani to alor star. target for this section is rm200million by july 2008. now its not even close to rm20million!!!

so there you have it. thats what i do for a living. life is somewhat easier now compared to then, when its almost routine that i clock in 14-16 working hours per day, and work 6 1/2 days a week.

it felt like death...

2008-03-17T00:22:00.000-07:00

just had my hepatitis B booster shot........i hate needles. i especially hate the sense when the chemicals are forced into my system.......argh.......my arm damn lenguh now...

oh yeah....its good to also know my gastric is turning chronic.....lets hope it doesnt rot through my stomach and spill all the stomach juice onto my liver and testicles.

back to work...

sheon sleeps better with chipster.....

2008-03-03T02:15:00.000-08:00

pink pau.....you 'made' me do this.

pajama party. i am coming with flakes of dried saliva across half my face, and a flat spot on my head. but first, protocols dictate that i must embarrass myself with a couple of chipster chips.

it has been a while since i consumed any chips. i am not a chips kinda guy, i'm more into twisties and cheesie..err i mean cheezels. i used to like lay's very much, for its HUGE packings and unique taste....but gosh are they expensive!

so this chipster came on the chips scene.....and went on this relatively massive promotional exercise that got almost every other blogger involved. woah....c'mon guys....it's just chips.....

but.....i had to try it out!

i got my ass to the nearest convenience shop near my house....scanned the junk food section for chipster......chipster...chipster...chipter........ah! there they are.... and bought 1 for each flavor.

chipster - check; newspapers - check; magazines - check; wine - check; ROCKET magazine - CHECK!!

i was set for the night.

there is no denying that the packaging for chipster is quite appealing. i wont be embarrassed digging my hand into chipster in the middle of KL Pavilion; mamee....oh no.....i'm not gonna be seen eating that in Pavilion. tarak macho langsung.....

chips 0 : chipster 1

'does the design make me want to eat it just by looking at it?'..i asked myself......well, frankly speaking......they did.

they say being in a toilet makes you lose your appetite..........lets see.......

yeah.......i still wanna eat it.

chips 0 : chipster 2

next up....the aroma test.................i was eager to know how chipster smells like.

nice................................but...to be fair...i think its a draw...just admit it...chips smell nice, irregardless of the brand.

chips 1 : chipster 3

now, the ultimate chips test. the TASTE! not wanting to waste anymore time, and not that i could resist anymore, i grabbed a fistful of chipster......and dunked'em all in my 420cc mouth cavity..........

like this.......

needless to say........chipster scores with the perfect balance between saltiness, flavor, and spices.

chips 1 : chipster 4

arent my doggies cute?................................they have the whole backyard to themselves.... :)

coming back to the main topic..............

chipster totally ruined my diet that night.......i ate 2 and a half bags of chipster....and reluctantly gave away the rest.............

glorious chipster.........partnered by half a dozen glasses of wine........................made sheon a sleepy giant..............

i never had such a good partnership in bed since..................................errr..............since....... *forget it*........

tax money went for a swim....

2008-02-25T01:28:00.000-08:00

an exceptional article written by mr patrick teoh on his blog, http://niamah.blogspot.com/

And so here we go again!

Abdullah Badawi (I really don't want to call him Pak Lah anymore) has announced the dissolution of Parliament and the elections must be held within 60 days of that action. And once again Malaysians are given the chance to have their say in the way they want their country to be run and by whom. Call me a cynic or whatever other name you want la but I am not really holding my breath for any earth shattering results that will make life in Bolehland any different from the way it's been the last 3 decades. Why you ask? Maybe you've been living in Lalaland or somewhere as far away but if you need to ask that question you really need to stay where you are. In Denial. Why? Just take a look around. Take a look at what's been happening the last few weeks leading up to this announcement of the dissolution of Parliament.

We Malaysians, or at least the way the ruling YB's treat us, seem to be like a bunch of spoilt, bratty children. We whine and cry and stamp our feet. Then like bad parents the YB's throw us a few candies and we stop whining and become good, obedient children for a while. Meaning we keep our mouths shut and out of the parent's way as they go about doing whatever they want. We don't care what. Got sweet already enough la.

So elections are coming. So the YB's travel the country distributing their candy pacifiers and come election day they will get their two thirds majority and then they will screw things around for another 5 years and then we start whining again and then they throw us some candy and then...........

And the thing is they do it in such a blatantly middle finger-in-your-face way. As if to say Nah! Niamah!!! Take this and keep quiet la, dei! Farmers who've waited decades for land suddenly get what they have legally applied for from the same fuckers who didn't want to hear or process those same applications. Until the farmers votes were needed. Schools that needed funds for maintenance or development and never got them suddenly get some grant or other. Which I guess will have to last them at least 5 years because they ain't going to get shit else until the next general elections roll around.

We know what we want for our country. We know the YB's who've been screwing us time and again. We know that we have the power for change in our hands. We know we must take an active stance and participate in how our country is managed and how to maintain a future for our children and grandchildren. But will we do anything about it? Somehow I doubt it. Already some of my friends who had been whining and griping are saying, "Hiyah! Never mind la. Better the devil we know than the devil we don't la. Just keep quiet and try and make some money lor."

And I am sure that you've read the results of the latest "survey" that claims that the majority of Malaysians (all 3 major races of course!) are against demonstrations. Oh really? That's the YB's telling us in our faces that we are dumb schmucks who only can manage a squeak every 5 years or so and love being screwed. And we all go, "Really ah? Ya la demonstrations affect business la. Make bad traffic jam la. We sokong you, YB!"

And then before you know it the YB's will win their two thirds majority and then we will start griping again.

But of course to celebrate "the people's victory" there will be some good fireworks and festival events with lots of loud beating drums and candy. You know....Just to show us and tourists that Hey! Malaysia is just doing fine man. Look...everybody is so happy.

LOVE MALAYSIA.
VOTE WISELY.
TAKE CHARGE OF YOURS AND YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE.

I know I am going to.

NIAMAH!!!

are we REALLY doing well??

2008-02-19T01:12:00.000-08:00

from www.malaysia-today.net

In 1970, my mum was working as a maid, earning a monthly salary of RM 50. That was the year the NEP started. My sister had to stop schooling early because my mum could not afford her school expenses. I was farmed out to be taken care of by relatives. My dad had died more than 10 years earlier. We were living way below the poverty line. Yet, with her salary, she could buy 0.5 oz of gold, which cost USD 35/oz.

I managed to secure a state scholarship to do engineering at the University of Malaya. With my starting salary of RM 750 as a graduate engineer with the government in 1973, I could buy 5.9 oz of gold (official gold price USD 42.22 per oz, although the free-market price was much higher, varying from USD 58 to USD 97. See here: http://www.nma.org/pdf/gold/his_gold_price.pdf)

Today, a fresh graduate will earn RM 1785 per month in government service. That salary will buy 0.6 oz of gold (USD 905 per oz. See here: www.kitco.com ). In other words, after 35 years of the NEP, from 1973 to 2008, a graduate’s earning power has dropped by almost 90%! She is almost at the poverty level of a maid in 1970! We are talking about graduates. Don’t even think about the poor farmers in the field or the estate workers. They are in such a deep hole, that we don’t even know where to find them.

My question is: How can we be doing well with such numbers? Just do some simple comparisons. In 1970, a bowl of mee cost RM 0.70, a car RM 7,000, a double-storey terrace house in SS 2, Petaling Jaya cost less than RM 39,000. Mind you, that was a 26 feet wide house (8m), not the pigeon holes we call terrace houses nowadays. Today, the corresponding prices are between 5 to 10 times higher. But our salaries have not matched inflation. Honey, they have shrunk our ringgit!

Over the years, many readers at Malaysia-today have wrung their hands over the overt racism and discrimination of UMNO. I would like to suggest that our problems are not with UMNO per se but rather with the system of the Rat Race. I will elaborate on this in Part II – The System. Stay tuned.

50 Years of 2/3 Majority

2008-02-17T21:48:00.000-08:00

50 years of 2/3 majority

February 16, 2008

By SV Singam

__________________________

The ruling coalition has enjoyed an almost unbroken 50 years of 2/3 majority in parliament. The only time this overwhelming majority was lost was in 1969. Immediately, the race riots were triggered, parliament was suspended and the National Operations Council (with 100% control) installed. The semblance of democracy was only restored after the major opposition parties were sucked into a new and larger coalition and the 2/3 majority regained.

The ruling coalition operates on the Whip principle – component parties and representatives must toe the official line. Under no circumstances is a Wakil Rakyat allowed to vote according to his conscience or according to the mandate the rakyat he represents gave him.

So what has 50 years of 2/3 majority given us?

The Malaysian Constitution has been amended some 690 times. The USA has been in existence for more than 200 years and their constitution was only amended 27 times.
The Constitution is amended for matters as trivial as extending the term of office of the Elections Commission officers, simply to avoid facing rejection by the Agung.
Because of the overwhelming power available to the Executive, the Legislature has been reduced to a rubber stamp, the Judiciary has been emasculated and corrupted and the powers of the Agung have been clipped.
The legal system is a sad joke, serving only further the desires of the ruling clique.
The Elections Commission serves only to ensure that the ruling clique is returned to power.

Look at the statistics…

In the last election, Barisan Nasional received only 63.8% of the popular votes but has 91% of all parliamentary seats. All due to gerrymandering, phantom votes, voter relocation, voter substitution… there are even suspicions of ballot box stuffing.

UMNO received 35.9% of the popular votes, has 50% of the parliamentary seats and holds 71% of the ministerial positions. The other members of the coalition have been reduced to running dogs, wagging their tails and begging for scraps.

Little Napoleons have been allowed to run rife and the rights of non-Malay, non-Muslim communities have been trampled upon. The Wakil Rakyat do nothing even when constitutional amendments threatening these rights are proposed. It is left to the opposition members to highlight these alarming matters and try to prevent total steamrolling.

Meanwhile, it’s not like the rights of all Malays are really being addressed. Claims of hard-core poverty among rural Malays indicate that wealth distribution is not making real headway. Under the umbrella of the NEP, wealthy UMNO leaders continue to steal the wealth of the country, feeding pittance to the rakyat. And the Malays are being deprived of the ability to compete and gain new skills.

Under the aegis of the NEP, incompetent people (skilled in politicking) are given promotions while capable people are being deprived of the opportunity to lead. Major national corporations and companies are blundering from error to error. We have lost our competitive edge in practically every field.

How much more of this can we take? How much more of this should we take?

Change may not necessarily be better.

But without change, it is not possible to become better.

If we want to become better, we must want change.

It is time the 2/3 majority in parliament is dismantled.

We hold that power.

heaven or hell

2008-02-15T22:57:00.000-08:00

While walking down the street one day a Malaysian politician is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and he is met by an angel at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says the angel. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the man."Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really, I have made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Yang Berhormat"I'm sorry, but we have our rules," says the angel.

And with that, the angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.

In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.Everyone is very happy and dressed in the finest batik there is. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then indulge themselves on lobsters, caviar and the most expensive food there is. Present together is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes.

They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where the angel is waiting for him."Now it' s time to visit heaven."So, 24 hours pass with the Yang Berhormat joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.

They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and the angel returns."Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven.

Now choose your eternity."The Yang Berhormat reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I am better off in hell."

So the angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder."I don't understand," stammers the Yang Berhormat. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning, just like you did during an election...... Today you voted."

what have the government done to education?
we still dream of overseas education; chinese and tamil schools still need private funding; universities still practise racial discrimination;

what have the government done to battle corruption?
ACA still are toothless without the power to charge BIG fishes; PDRM and government still deny police are corrupt; little napoleans still bermaharajalela across the country; even the judges in the highest court in malaysia are proven to be corrupt!!

what have the government done to improve security?
police were sent to disperse peaceful protesters instead of helping find missing kids; how to trust corrupt police running lock-ups and jails? how can we put our trust in police when whenever they wished, they can set-up mobile toll collection booth on the streets?

what have the government done to foster racial harmony?

racial sentiments being instilled into the minds of little kids; racial discrimination being incorporated into every aspect of our lifes (why differential treatment for bumi and non-bumi?); is an obsolete NEP still relevant today?

what have the government done to manage public funds properly?

mega projects with mega over-spending, everybody in construction knows you need to bribe to get certain things done, and the government is still in denial; why do the bandaran(s) always have to build stupid looking useless things that don't work all over town? do we need RM500,000 SMART toilets that costs RM0.50 per pee all over KL? why do we still have to pay obnoxious amount for toll, to use a private highway that was built using tax-loan, that is compensated by the hundreds of million annually using tax-money, that is always jammed- while the highway goes on making hundreds of million in profit every year?

a country's politics is not about whether you get to eat pork or not. it's not about whether you get a free dustbin for your premise. it's certainly not all about petrol subsidy.

yes, you cant possibly expect the government to subsidise every single thing from cooking oil, petrol, gas, etc. however, with improved effiency on the distribution of wealth, the government can improve the economy and help the rakyat AFFORD the inflation. instead of subsidising and creating an artificial sustainability. this is where i think the current government failed miserably! (well, actually i think the government failed miserably in almost every single department). i've always tell people this, and i reiterate again, we are poorer than we should because the money that belongs to us are in the wrong pockets! politicians, authorities, armed bodies...are all stealing money from us through corrupt practises. a bridge costs rm2,000,000 here in malaysia when the exact same bridge should only cost rm1,000,000 in say singapore. contractor had to inflate the price to feed-off officers from the authorities. tax payers had to fork out an additional rm1,000,000 that does not benefit anyone but the sinners and swiss banks.

"be happy with what you have, we are actually much better off than many developing countries" ...........how many times have you heard this statement??
what is the use of comparing ourselves with lesser nations?? how can we feel contended with saying we are living a better life than people in the third world countries? malaysia has so so much more to offer than just providing us with mediocre education, nasi lemak and roti canai. what about chasing wawasan 2020? what about becoming a developed nation?

BN was voted into power based on the premise that they will ensure peace, fairness to all, economic growth, curb corruption, etc. they have done some, ok...bravo. but shamelessly put up a facade to hide the true picture from the blissful ignorants, yet letting the rest of the nation suffer in its incompetence.

happy chinese new year ..

dear all readers....wishing you all a happy chinese new year. may your new year of the rat bring happiness, health, and peace to you and all your loved ones.

who will i be in 10 years time...

2008-01-31T18:13:00.000-08:00

10 years is just 3650 days away.............

lets start with my career. well, no doubt it looks like i am already on the right path to my calling in the industry. the amount of jealousy and envy and slander against me is just proof that i am already a threat to some. but what they dont fucking know is that i dont give a fucking damn.

i love my job. i love what i'm doing. but all my closest friends know that i hate office politics. being super interested in the political climate in our country, doesnt mean that i am interested in office politics. if somebody really steps on my toes, and i believe IF i really really want to retaliate, i know i have the means and all the influence to execute a career assassination.

my personal philosophy in this department is......."solve all problems, not create them"

i am feeling very uncomfortable, with all the attention on me. for whatever reason, people keep telling me that i have this aura of confidence that i exert. but inside, i know i am not as confident as i wished i was. maybe this is exactly what some people want that many dont possess. and i got it for free and dont know how to exploit it.

a profound statement a person i admire and respect alot told me last night.

"dont be an academic engineer, instead be a businessman with an engineering background"

.............. BINGO!!!! spot on!! that is precisely what i want to be! lets see what happens in 10 years.

mating season mating season mating season. wedding bells are ringing, wedding invites are flying, and angpow is crippling my wallet. sigh. i vow to marry 4 times to get back my angpow money!!!

aaahhh......the dreaded valentines is round the corner. what a lovely sight it is to see couples flocking restaurants to splurge on over-priced slabs of stale meat and chemically enhanced desserts and ridiculously priced twigs.

the last valentine that i celebrated..........i prepared the steaks myself....cooked all the side dishes...shared the efforts of making a cheesecake. there were candles all over, camera was flashing all night....to document the beautiful moment that i thought will last forever, and more.
valentine sex was super. i did not document that though. hahahaha.....

this is gonna be the 4th straight year i am spending valentines alone. or is it 3rd? i dont remember anymore. what will happen in 10 years time? will i be celebrating my 14th solo valentine? haha...what are the chances?

in 10 years time, i want to change the world..............

i love malaysia....

A nation of cowards, a nation of fools

Posted by Raja Petra
Sunday, 30 December 2007

In all that has happened in our streets recently, and in the subsequent actions and statements of the Government and its officials, we can safely say that we are not prepared to engage in open debate about the problems that the people of this Nation are facing.

The calls for stability and moderation masks our fear to face homegrown problems with the maturity that a Nation of 50 years should possess. Instead we are more than happy to continue with our daily lives and push the problems to an indeterminate date in the future. Meanwhile the Government tries to window-dress the impact of the issues by throwing crumbs and making unofficial concessions in the hope of cooling frayed tempers down.

Cowards all of us, for being so willing to let our problems continue unsolved, so that they may one day be unceremoniously dumped on the laps of our children.

Each time we see a child, lets remember that we are the gutless wonders that hide our fears behind catch all phrases like "racial unity" and " public safety".

We are fools, because we believe that peace lies in the words of leaders and in the gavels of Judges.

Peace lies in concrete and long term solutions to the many ills that plague us, the greatest of which is our habit of choosing Leaders not based upon his intelligence ( Brain ) or courage ( Heart ) but rather by the colour of his skin.

We are the only Nation on this planet that values the dermis as a greater creation than the contents of the cranial and cardiac cavities, and they might as well be empty in our leaders and in all of us, for we use them but sparingly. Cheers and have a Happy New Year.

Happy Ending

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love

I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

between right and wrong

2007-12-18T21:14:00.000-08:00

it's been a while since i last felt loved. well, to be really honest by her own admission, i wonder if that was really love...ok. assuming the latter is actually true, i've lived for 26 years as a good man, and not known love and not loved. how tragically pathetic is that?

i felt love in its physical form, i especially miss her cuddling up to me while she sleeps. i especially miss having my arm that pillowed her head while she rests. i especially miss how she snuggles onto my chest after we've made love.

kids are brought up with the notion that being 'right' means getting rewards..and being 'wrong' means getting punished. religions instil the idea of heaven and hell....and the only admission into heaven is by being 'good', which also means you have no choice but be a person that does only the right things, otherwise you're heading to hell.

i dun commit myself to any religion. however, i am not an atheist. i just find that religions are man-made, ergo they are not perfect. i want a religion that's perfect, because i think god is perfect. well, almost every religion says that if you are not a believer of theirs, you're going to hell. well, looks like i am heading to hell. i better start liking sauna.

my point is this. this world that we live in is complex, is sophisticated, is full of crap. right and wrong is never a your choice to make. even if you could, a 'right' decision is never always right.

in reality, there is no right or wrong.......there is only 'should' or 'should not'. even in a relationship, this takes precedence over 'right' or 'wrong'.

here lies my biggest mistake. i made all the 'right' decisions.

q: is 100% commitment to your gf right or wrong?
a: yes...its right. so i did.
reality: you should not commit 100% because you need to have something left for yourself to fall back to.

q: is loving your gf more right or wrong?
a: yes...its the right thing to do, because i love her...and i expect to give nothing less. so i did.
reality: you should not love her more than you love yourself.

look who's laughing now?

i weep for malaysia....

2007-12-11T21:00:00.000-08:00

whatever they say is law with no grounds for debates and discussions. laws are changed to suit to their likings. goalpost can be shifted to accomodate whatever they desired. where is the democracy in parliament? who are your MPs? Member of Parliament.........ARE SUPPOSE TO BRING THE VOICE OF THE PUBLIC INTO THE PARLIAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is no word in any vocabulary that can accurately express my utter disgust, my frustration, my loathe, my disappointment................

what happened, is happening, and will continue to happen in our parliament if you people still vote for them currs, is despicable. it belittles the whole idea of democracy. it's completely appalling. it holds the intelligence of the people in contempt.

my dear friends.......my dear malaysians......open your eyes. the power to CHANGE malaysia for the better lies in your hands..........

below is an article taken from www.m2day.org , it is self explanatory.

12/12: Article 114 amended, Opposition MPs stage walkout

Category: News

Posted by: raja petra

B. Suresh Ram
The Sun

The Dewan Rakyat approved by a two thirds majority a bill to amend Article 114 of the Federal Constitution today.

Opposition MPs from the DAP and PAS walked out of the august house in protest over the bill as well as the move by the government to arrest Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih) activists.

A total of 16 Opposition MPs out of the 19 present walked out. Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (PKR-Permatang Pauh), who was not present, later said she was stuck in a traffic jam and supported the move and would have walked out if she was present.

The two other MPs absent were Ismail Noh (PAS-Pasir Mas) and Abdul Fatah Harun (PAS-Rantau Panjang).

The protesting MPs led by Parliamentary Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang walked out before the reply by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz and the votes on the amendment were taken.

BN Chief Whip and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak was present.

Lim, flanked by Opposition MPs and speaking to reporters in Parliament Lobby, said they walked out in protest of the amendment which "sees no significant reform on the electoral process in the country as well as over the arrest of more than 20 Bersih activists, particularly those arrested on the steps of Parliament".
He described the incident as not only the contempt of the police on the MPs but also on the Dewan Rakyat.

Salahuddin Ayub (PAS-Kubang Kerian) said the police action on the activists on the steps of Parliament should not have happened.

"Datuk Mustafa Ali did not take part in the Bersih gathering. He was invited by me to attend Parliament to witness the Constitutional amendment proceedings. We walked out to show that Parliament had lost its integrity,” said Salahuddin.

In a divisional vote adopted by the house after a day-long debate saw the motion to amend the Federal Constitution carried by a two-thirds majority.

The first round of voting at the policy stage saw 189 voting in favour, including sole Independent Sandakan MP Chong Hon Min. There was no vote against the bill due to the walkout.

A similar figure was carried at the policy stage, before the amendment was given a third reading and passed.

The amendment to Article 114 of the Federal Constitution was to increase the retirement age of the seven members of the Malaysian Election Commission from the current 65 to 66.

sharin and reventón..........gorgeous!

2007-12-03T02:12:00.000-08:00

well, unfortunately sharin didn’t win the prestigious female magazine most gorgeous person title. sharin, you’re always gorgeous. i am surrounded by absolutely gorgeous people, what a blessing!

ok, reckon the organiser should create an award just for me. as i embarked on a 5 hours drive across treacherous terrains, laden with vile beasts from the abyss, just to attend the party! ahha......beat that!

crowd was great. i truly enjoyed the ambience.unlike any typical ah-beng ah-lian infested party scene. it was already 1030pm the time i got there. complimentary ticket says that winners would be crowned at 1100pm, so i gotta be quick. well, actually i was more like reluctant to pay the after 1100pm cover charge.

zouk kl.....

the top 10 were already parading on stage. i made my way to the bar to get my free drink (yeah....)....not knowing what drinks they offer (for free), even if they did tell, i wouldn’t know jack what goes into the drink/cocktail....so i acted cool, handed him a coupon, and said...”gimme anything...” . the bartender must’ve thought i was getting laid that night, and subsequently handed me a plastic cup with redbull and a shot. niiice.

i’m sure half of the population of beautiful people in kl were there! i felt outta place. i am cool, not hot.

when they crowned the most gorgeous guy to this overly shy hunk peter, i realised there was a bunch of gays just staring at him. just like how i would have my eyes glued to the image of marion caunter, or belinda chee, or jamie yeo, or lamborghini reventon. aaaahh.......imagine a lamborghini reventon in my possession.......

saya-D-cup......

2007-11-28T02:04:00.000-08:00

the bustling bordertown of danok, also very well known as the red light capital of the region. almost everything in this town evolves around the notorious sex industry, cartering to the type of crowd danok attracts by the thousands. scores of cheap hotel rooms, food stalls, karaoke joints, discos, pubs, no-frills brothels (or like i call them - fuck joints) mushrooming all over danok.

yes, i was there over the weekend. i will not lie to you that i was there primarily to witness for myself, how happening danok is. but, two other reasons that brought me there for a holiday was because i needed a break, and also for the loi krathong festival.

we left gurun at about 630pm 24th November 07. reached the immigration counters to enter thailand at about 730pm (630pm thailand time). the well lit building on the left of the picture is the landmark of danok, i think its called oscar hotel. queuing up for passport stamping was a pain, the weekend crowd was huge!

red light district is to the left, and shopping and less provocative pubs to the right.

this is the main road. drive straight up for 50km, and you'll reach hatyai. most of the guys will start behaving weirdly from this point onwards, for this is the zone where the thinking and reasoning shifts from your larger head to your smaller head.

loi krathong festival. almost every other stall in danok (i'm sure its the same all around thailand) was selling these 'lanterns'. basically they are decorated floats with some joss sticks or candle in the middle. a devotee has to make a prayer, place some nail clippings or hair on the lantern, and release it into a river, or lake. and your bad luck will sail away with the lantern, or so they say.

as i was dining and walking around danok, fireworks were set everywhere! a lot of girls wore the traditional siamese costume and walked the streets in it. not bad for visitor.

food was everywhere!!! thailand mah. the bottom pic shows bottom-side-up horseshoe-crabs. these are then steamed, the top shell is pried open to expose its roes beneath the shell. only the roes are taken and served thai-style. rm18 per pop.

*only non-provocative photos are shown*

the above pictures show the red light district. most of the girls you see walking on the street are pros. discos and pubs and brothels sit on both sides of the streets.

we went in this club called "new sha-la-la". apparently a new joint with some of the hottest girls in town. smack in the middle of the floor stands a giant 2-tier lotus-shaped center stage. i do not have to elaborate on the photos, but i could totally see their nipples thru the sheer lingeries.

picture shows two couples performing erotic dance moves. yeah, can totally see the girls' nipples sticking thru the unpadded bikini also.

5 large bottles of heineken = rm75

after downing the 5 bottles, we proceeded to this club called "spiders". now.....this is what really defines a strip club loh! up to 20 girls would start dancing on the stage with clothes on, and end up with none. can totally see their pet-pet also. no photos i'm sorry. but i hate this place lor, every single thing you do, there'll be somebody there asking for tips. i went pee also got 2 guys came up behind me to "massage" my shoulders and arms. wanna pee also cannot loh.

2 large bottles of heineken = rm25

then the last outlet we went was a karaoke bar. no hanky panky stuff happening in the open here. so, this was relatively the most decent of all the joints that i visited that night. however, the gro(s) and mamasans here are super drinkers! i personally gulped down close to 5 large bottles here alone, and was just only one more from total-lost. cheapest beer here, but you need to pay generous tips when your girl sings on stage.

5+1 large bottles of heineken = rm50 or 60... ( i was very tipsy already)

my karaoke session ended at 1am malaysian time (12midnite thailand). i had to pretend i was a goner to escape from paying more yian wang tips to the girls, as they thought they could make a water-fish outta me before i get totally drunk. hahaha..my strategy worked perfectly. but man did i struggle to make my way back to my bunk!

the morning view. this pub sits right across the entrance of the hotel i stayed. oh yeah, the hotel i stayed in was PJ hotel. 5-star danok standard, 2-star international. normal rate rm55/deluxe room. rm20 surcharge for peak season. in-house 24hrs porn channels. no condoms provided. :P

had a quick breakfast. and can see girls returning 'home' from bookings. honestly, many are hotties and cuties, i truly empathize their hardship. as many i learnt, came from really poor families and they just want to bring home more money.

massage. now, there are two kinds of massage services here. simply, one healthy, another indecent.

we went to this decent one (of coz), not too far away from our hotel. the rates are rm12/hour. fucking cheap lor. i didnt get myself massaged, as i am super-ticklish one. i remember i almost kicked my then gf off the bed when she attempted to massage me! i was curious to know how the process goes like, so i stayed in the massage chamber for the whole two hours the massage lasted for. yeah, this was the non-oily massage if you wanna know.

you can come here and enjoy massage with a group of friends one, very interesting one. different chamber sizes to fit the size of your group. i'm all in next round, who wants to join me?

then came lunch. this was the highlight of the whole trip! (no..not strippers).

there is this restaurant called "water view". it has little individual attap-roof huts around the edge of a lake. and the view here is very nice. no, its no swiss alps, but worked just fine for me!

service was very very good. the waitors were very attentive, and helpful too. one interesting aspect of this restaurant is that, the food is sent to your hut by boat! motorboat lar..but still its special right? the food was excellent!! we spent a good 2 hours here. i must say, if you visit danok, this place must be on your itinerary.

crossed the border to malaysia at around 4pm malaysian time. reached 'home' at about 5pm. a great weekend it was. and i must tell this to everyone, despite its notorious reputation as a sex capital, it doesnt mean that everyone is here just for sex.

i stepped into danok defensively, nobody came in contact with my schlong but me, and i left a very happy (and clean) tourist!!!

i am a millionaire!!

The People’s Parliament

2007-11-23T16:58:00.000-08:00

You pay taxes all these years (that’s true even if/when you are not working, because all goods and services you consume- unless smuggled - are taxed) and therefore you deserve a better country.

You deserve the rights, freedom and dignity as a human being.

You deserve a legitimate, responsive and competent government.

You deserve a political system that is not rotten, where judges and ballots are not for sale.

You deserve electoral reforms.

You must register your desire for a better Malaysia so that the Government know you mean business.

You can do so in any creative way, but two things are vital.
You must do it in public. You must document it in images, words or both.

Therefore, eating a banana alone at home and complaining is not political. Getting 20 friends eating bananas at a bus station and chanting BERSIH for one minute, and having this photographed and blogged, will be very political, and for those of you who are worried, safe. Forwarding this message and inviting more friends to join this cause will also be political and safe.

You can change Malaysia in your very own way. No effort is too small if you mean it. All Malaysians, including the future generations, will one day thank you for that.

Do something. You deserve a better country. And the country deserves and needs an empowered citizen in you.

falling sick sure sucks. what sucks even more is how it multiplies the feeling of loneliness by a million times. *recalling the days when i would never leave her alone whenever she was sick.

bought this nice little phone on monday.

a sony ericsson w700i!

costs me rm660. the girl that sold me this phone was quite a looker. but not quite as hot as the voluptuous d-cupper 2 stalls away. (i reiterate: boobs are not all that matters)

this is a wonderful phone. to me, its a perfect compromise of all that i could ask for in one phone. the only significant attribute that it lacks is that it is not packaged with 3G capability. but honestly, how many people are using 3G anyway?

heading to the thai border at bukit kayu hitam this weekend to get intoxicated (by alcohol, not sexually-transmitted-diseases!). that place being notorious for its gro(s), being attended (swarmed) by gros is inevitable, but thats only as far as i would go. really!

oh yeah......still stuck in gurun.....dang

behold...my two doggies

2007-11-03T01:32:00.000-07:00

my bitch at the top. the prick at the bottom. both are named doggy. coz i dont think "barbie" would be an appropriate name for my black bitch. quite obviously she's a mutt. her favorite food are canned dog food (beef), and raw egg. but she gets excited over durians, bones of all sorts, milk, and stuff. her hobby is catching mice. she hates water. she is petrified of fireworks.

doggy (bottom pic) has tried to hump everything that moves, not that actively pursuing that hobby anymore. that pretty much sums up everything about him. :P

finally...some pictures horribly posted.....

2007-10-29T22:28:00.000-07:00

this is the view from my office window. the building in the foreground is a pain. gunung jerai sits firmly (thank god) at the background. if my memory serves me correctly...gunung jerai is about a third of genting's height.

ok, can you see the waterfall? smack in the center of the picture, right below the clouds.

there you go, i drew a sperm to help lead the way. :P

not much rain on the mountain, so the waterfall is quite gentle.

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worse
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worse
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

more than meets the eyes

2007-10-17T23:03:00.000-07:00

i just found out there is a basement (LG) level in pasaraya anika!!!! you can buy foodstuff and shampoos and insect repellent there!!!!! i feel like indiana jones!!! i was bitching so much about pasaraya anika that i didnt realise that jumped into conclusion too early. i extend my apologies to pasaraya anika. j.co coming to pasaraya anika i heard?

this sunday is d-day. i am going to embark on my first ever jungle trekking!!! you see, gurun is at the foothill of gunung jerai. there is this huge waterfall smack in the middle of the hill, or should i say halfway up the hill. i reckon the vertical drop of the waterfall is at least 50m!!! it looks magnificent! usually its a gentle stream coming to the edge. however, it turns into a morbid beast after a heavy downpour on the hill!!! i would wait for the chance to capture it on photo, and post it. okok.......now, everytime i see the waterwall, i feel the attraction to it. something inside my head tells me..."you must trek the path to the waterfall".....either i am getting schizophrenic, or my adventure-cells are running on over-drive.

i promise i promise photos in the next entry. from afar, it looks like a good 2-3 hours journey along the river up to the waterfall. we've decided to take the river path than the trekkers' path, but things could change if we have some last minute hesitation. my walking gear is my loyal newbalance sneakers, my leather mid-cut boots have seen better days. i shall stock my backpack with lotsa energy snacks and water. i shall protect my torso with my everlasting timberland all weather jacket that has an attached hood, which would be very handy as the weather is susceptible to drastic changes within a matter of hours. long cargo pants tucked inside my socks, to prevent the nasty leeches from meeting their larger and nastier counterpart inside my pants. compass, swiss army knife, parang, some basic survival kit. ok.......i'm all set for this sunday then!!! we leave 7am.

back to civilization

2007-10-14T09:25:00.000-07:00

it feels so nice to be back in civilization!!! i am saturated with all the glam and life after being drained and deprived of it for months!!! 4 days in kl...back in my own room, my home, my friends, my kuala lumpur..............its back to gurun again tmrw night. sigh.....

you see, lemme describe this little town of gurun, it is situated at the foothill of gunung jerai, the length of the town is as long as midvalley...end to end. it has no kfc, no mcd's, no 7-11!!! and why is it that i crave for kfc whenever i am in a place where its hard to come by? oh yeah, talking about fried chicken, klg aka the kfc spoof (pauline and i still insist that it is abbreviation for 'kentucky fried ghicken') runs the largest fast food outlet here. to tell you the truth, i have yet to see a single patron walked in that outlet over the past two weeks! this klg, i've tried it, yes, but it's outta curiosity a few years ago that i put a piece of their product into my mouth. verdict is, i'd rather eat cardboard. if i'm a chicken, i wanna die a kfc chicken and not a ghicken. there is virtually no nightlife in gurun, you crave for something to eat in the middle of the night, you freaking stay home and cook yourself a bowl a maggi. apart from tuesday & thursday badminton night, options for night activities are 1) spectate or join (oh please) aunties & uncles karaoke session 2) watch free tv (no astro mah) 3) sleep. the largest local mall is called anika mall. it has 10 karaoke cubicles, a video game corner, popular bookstore, 2 convenience shops, a couple of kedai kain, 3 handphone stalls, a video shop, 5 herbs and aphrodisiac stalls, and a nasi kandar shop. it takes a mere 3 minutes at walking pace to complete a round within the shopping podium. have you guys realised that when it comes to herbs, its always about sexual enhancement? i wonder.....

why am i in gurun you ask? lemme explain.

i was based in the project base office in bukit mertajam since april this year, my job was to develop a master construction programme for the package stretching from bukit mertajam to sungai petani, consisting of 11 bridges for traffic, 2 rail-bridges over rivers, several ktmb offices, quarters, stations, and misc structures, and most importantly 36.4km of electrified twin-railtracks. in the process of doing the planning, i had to explore the project site. basically, its a replacement of the old track with a pair of new ones, so i can get a pretty accurate picture of what are the problems-options i have by walking the existing track by foot. most of the alignment goes thru secondary jungles, luckily so far we havent had any encounters with dangerous wild life.
so now, the package for alor star to perlis is gonna be up and running soon, and they need somebody to do the exact same thing that i did for bm-sp. however, the main northern office where i will be working in is still under heavy renovation, so....i sit in gurun while waiting for my office to be done up for me. planning will have to be followed up by progress...so, subbies, if you are reading this, i am going to be all over your back pushing for progress real soon, you get me?!

when you are involved in construction, you get to know alot of dodgy dealings involving illegal transfer of money. its really appalling i tell you. some things are not that convenient to be discussed here, lest i wanna put my career in jeopardy. but there is a reason why the projects in malaysia are so expensive. go figure.

the greatest satisfaction (non-sexual that is) i can attain from my work is, seeing a structure/building that is drawn on a piece of paper, becomes a reality. it is orgasmic. i had a walk in kl pavilion today, the feeling of pride that was raging inside me was so overwhelming! i'd spent 2 years of my life, toiled in dirt and concrete and giant machines, constructing the foundation that the apparent structure sits firmly on. the very very first permanent structure of the whole mammoth project is diaphragm wall panel #23, facing directly to westin hotel. now looking at the magnificent building, reading rave reviews by patrons and all, i am saturated in orgasmic pride all over again! the next session of career orgasm that is going to throw me into a semi-permanent high is going to be the opening of the kl-putrajaya highway. again, i was in charge of the foundation aspect of the highway (sri petaling to technology park malaysia) and eventually the superstructure of the main viaduct (whatever you see of the elevated highway when you travel on the ground). i spent two years there as well. :)

some other projects of that i was involved in are pj 32 square and suria stonor condo. nothing spectacular about those two projects. :P

my current project is going to take up at least 5 years of my life. that means i will be 31 when this project is completed. already considering a move (after this project) for a very senior position elsewhere. my company actually pays me pretty ok, alot of things are well taken care of. but nothing beats the esos (employees share option scheme) thingy that my company offers me. in a brief, i stand a favorable chance to pocket an obscene (relatively) amount of money from just trading company shares. of coz the actual exercise is a bit more complicated than that lar. hehehe..... so, plans are being made to purchase a nice comfy condo somewhere in subang jaya (near subang parade) in the near future. looking for hot single chicks for housemates...anyone?

hey...i am divulging alot of my personal financial plans here!! ceh....what the heck?

el regina invited me to her open house on the first day of raya. she is one of the most attractive and intelligent and friendly girls i know. she's such a darling, there's always a smile on her face that makes you wanna pinch her cheeks. hahahaa... 10-15 of us crowded her place eating beautifully cooked juadah and dug our fingers into jars of delicacies her always hospitable mom made. for the uninitiated, el regina is one of the four official darlings of malaysia that won gold in sukom 98 for making spectators flinch. hahahaha

hey, thank you angel, thank you jadey, thank you cheesecakeerian, thank you ah bear, thank you yc, thank you all for taking time out for visit and drop comments on my blog. :) it makes blogging so much fun-ner. i reiterate that my 'blog' is more like an avenue for me to test and try my writing, to improve on my english, to expand my vocab. but when i get some readers actually reading what i wrote....its really really great! so, thank you guys!! so, starbucks (my treat) for my dear readers whenever there's a chance. (:

what else can i say?

2007-10-13T11:53:00.000-07:00

"A PLACE FOR EVERYONE

'Equality before the law is a universal concept, and the government should give priority in seeing that every Malaysian, irrespective of race, has a place under the Malaysian sun.'

MR KARPAL SINGH, national chairman of the opposition Democratic Action Party"

yay opposition!!! vote for democracy!!!

where does the integrity lie in ACA when it has cleared so many famously corrupt politicians from charges?

can you trust a cop to tell the truth when you know for a fact that their integrity can be bought with kopi-duit over a wound-down window?

how to believe anti-graft vows made by a politician when you know for a fact that he himself is the biggest crook of all?

when the institution of judiciary is proven to be as notorious as the criminal organizations they put behind bars..........

what else can i say?

gramps is gone..

2007-10-05T17:37:00.000-07:00

gramps left us yesternite (5/10/07)....... i will be leaving for KL this afternoon.

to my grampa

2007-09-30T09:37:00.000-07:00

gramps was sent to the hospice a week ago. he was in a bad shape, and needed professional help. but things arent looking good. visited him yesterday with my mom. he was still conscious. his eyes were still very much alive. he recognized mom. but he struggled to recall me. mom visited him today. there were only blank stares....almost lifeless. he has got viral infection, bedsores, refuses food.

it is imminent we were told. he is in his late eighties. i love my gramps.

he always treated me like his favorite grandson. he would always stare at me and smile. he spoke only hakka, i could barely understand hakka. now he just mumbles. he gave us (my sister, bro, and me) twice the angpows he gave the other grandkids.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i still remember quite vividly the final days of my dear gramma. before alzheimer got to her, she was this chubby old lady who would always be concerned on whether we (the kids) were hungry or not. my mom told me, they lived thru a hard time, food were scarce, necessities were bare. thats why she wants to make sure we (the kids) are always well fed.

my greatest regret was being unable to converse with my gramma. she spoke hakka, pure hakka. i couldnt understand enough to even make out what she wanted
to say to me everytime. i would just smile, and run away. gramma must have thought i was autistic! hahaa.... but she loved me. she loved us most (siblings). maybe because she only got to see us a couple of times at most in a year as we lived in alor star. we loved her very much too. once we (my father, my siblings & me) had to send her to an aunt's house nearby. my mom (the only one who could speak hakka under our roof) was not with us. the only
hakka word i could muster from my vocab was "heh ah", which loosely translate to "yes ar?". gramma
asked questions, trying to start a conversation with us i'm sure. and i would just reply "heh ah, heh ah.."....."heh ah..heh ah". she directed questions to my father, sister, brother....they all did
what i did. hahahaa.....it was the longest journey. and my gramma must have been completely bewildered!

alzheimer consumed her. she started to forget things, faces, places.... she would talk to the "guy" in the tv. she would get lost in her own house. she was living in her own world. she started losing weight drastically. i knew things arent getting better.

i remember i brought my then gf home to see her. she stared at her, and smiled. i knew gramma liked her. i knew i had her blessings.

after some time, gramma was bedridden. her body was reduced to a skeleton. and bedsores started to eat away her fragile body.

then she was gone. i made a promise before her i would marry my gf and take good care of her. i broke the only promise i made to my dearest gramma.

______________________________________________________________

i leave for penang/alor star in a few hours time....4am. i know, this could possibly be the last time for me i see my gramps alive. but i am sure he will leave all the physical sufferings behind. i am sure he is, and will be proud of me, his grandson.

he grew up in poverty. he lived through troubled times.

wai gong......i am proud to be your grandson.

2007-09-24T06:46:00.000-07:00

just came back from a friend's (distant) wedding. *shh...actually i invited myself to the dinner. hahaha....coz i had nothing better to do. i hate weddings. the binding of two lovers in holy matrimony. everybody cheering for them. everybody toasting for love and bucketful of babies. couples in abundance, stealing quick glances at each other hinting "when is ours?". i put up an empty smile across my face, knowing for a fact that i probably wont have the opportunity to be on the receiving end of a marriage toast.

i propose a toast to myself. for being a gentleman. for being overly kind. and for being silly & stupid.

promises can be broken just as easily as they were made. being honorable is a foreign thing to you i'm sure.

wedding was at sentosa hotel alor star. of all weddings i've had attended in the humble town of alor star, this was probably the grandest i've seen. the happy couple arrived in a merc cls 350 brabus. i hate them already. hahahaha....thats soooo my car!!! well...not exactly....mine would be a cls 55 amg. i forgave them. we drank beer. lots of them nasty yellow fluid. i didnt get tipsy. maybe i am a good drinker, or i was a good cheat....hahahahahahaha. no offence, but food was sub standard. i had an enjoyable night nonetheless. cheers to a happy couple, and a depressed me.

2 reasons why you ppl dont see much pictures on my blog (so far), firstly being that i simply do not know how to upload a picture (not that i have the time to experiment either), secondly being that i dont have a camera phone (my z800 koink-ed), and my company camera is as busy as a rm50 prostitute. as much as i wanted to show you photos depicting my boring life, i cant.

do not let your kids come close to joining the construction field. there is no glamor. there is no obscene monetary reward. there simply is no appreciation to people like us. posh clubs and lounges are always full of patrons from the business world. business-accountancy-auditors-etc, you dont see construction engineers, you dont see surveyors.

its 1042pm. i better get back to work.

my love

2007-09-20T04:49:00.000-07:00

so.....its been quite a while, a long while actually, since i'd written anything here. not that i don't have anything to write, but..........busy at work (the usual generic excuse).

well, seems like i would be sent to alor star to establish a satellite office for our project. what a irony, i left alor star in 1999 to study in kl, my family joined me there in kl in 2006. then now i left them to return to alor star. :) me and my family no "round". hahaha.....

i was seriously seriously considering a posting to middle east in 2005. didnt go. then in 2006 i considered a transfer to india. didnt go. after i'd left leighton, friends almost convinced me to join them in ireland, dublin. didnt go. hahahaha.... you know, many years ago, i was all readied to start a chapter in dublin just to be close to somebody i really cared for. but she had a better idea, she got hooked up with somebody else who was already there. hahaha...the parody of life.

well, eventually i chose to be relocated to bukit mertajam- gurun-alor star. i am hoping that i will end up in bukit merah though....alot of my office buddies are there.

i am always moving around.......how am i gonna find myself a girlfriend? hahahaha....... all of 26 years, i've had one failed relationship, and numerous rejections....oh...no.....not rejections to hook up...but rejections to dates. DATES!!!

i am a decent 26yr old professional...polished whenever necessary, and witty most of the time. and i cant even get a date! even the pedigree ah bengs on their pathetically souped-up kap chai get laid by more chicks! and balding ah peks with tummies bigger than samy's swiss account are alighting from their mercs and beemers with two hot chicks as armrest. certified playboys also have the lion's share of hotties literally throwing themselves into their arms begging to be fucked.
its generally acknowledged that for women to dig a guy...that guy HAS to be in at least one the categories. 1) badboy...(albeit low life), 2) rich....( i heard duh....) , 3) a pussy teaser

well....lemme see.................badboy..... what constitutes a badboy? i dont smoke, i dont hit the liquor stall, i'd never got myself involved in a fight, i dont have THE look....
rich?...hahahahhaaa......the only label of luxury i have, are the couple of gold cards i have in my wallet. i dont drive a fancy car. i dont shop on impulse.
a pussy teaser?.....ok....physically.....i am overweight despite being athletic, i have a blunt nose, my hair sux, i dun dress up well (or well enuf), i am dull in front of girls.

there! i fail miserably in every aspect of being a lady charmer...no wonder i cant secure dates and all. no wonder i was just being used as a stepping stone for richness and glamour. cant really blame her right?

despite my lacking in intimacy. i pride myself in having myself a wonderful bunch (or bunches) of loyal friends. most would say my female friends outnumbers the guys. but i guess its because i am like a gay friend who is not gay to them. hahaha.......(dont misconstrue my phrase there ya? i said "NOT GAY"!!!)...

bearrie bearrie is here......gotta take him for bukit mertajam famous char kuey tiao. i'll continue my rantings tmrw. ciao.

busy busy busy....

2007-09-06T04:16:00.000-07:00

sorry guys..cant write as much as i like as often as i wish i could. extremely busy. and extremely frustrated with some things that are unfolding at work.

i'm keeping myself entertained by watching stephen chow's movies compilation DVDs. rm49.90 for 6 DVDs...how cheap is that! and also the '24' series which i recently completed downloading. 24 is some good shit.

heading back to kl for the weekend. kinda need a reprieve from work obligation. boozing is always happier in kl, despite the $$$$. maybe its with buddies. maybe its just me.

i'm reading this book "winning" by jack welch, a living legend of a ceo. its a good book on management. so many people i 'know' should read this, and have a good review on themselves in their present capacities.

watched 'evan almighty'? the primates opposing the screening of this movie should be sent to oprah winfrey + dr phil therapy combo. its not the best movie ever made, but it carries so much subtle messages about humanity. i absolutely love the phrase "when you pray for courage, does god give you courage or the chance to be courageous?"

snakes in an office

2007-08-29T02:10:00.000-07:00

while my colleagues were trying to shift the table to a new position (office under renovation), we realized we had a slithery visitor. our lives were in mortal danger all along!

constant requests for the office to not kill the poor animal went unheeded, as the moment the frightened serpent was out of the door ....

pinkpau sure has produced a great entry on her blog about the sentiments of the modern generation towards the political climate of our beloved country. kudos pinkpau for a job well done. ( www.quaintly.net )

a country of financial blunders, corruption, crime, racism, non-transparency, cronyism, nepotism, …the list goes on. this is malaysia………..this is malaysia in the eyes of my generation. what are we celebrating for this august?

despite all the statements and announcements by the government to suppress crime rate, put an end to corruption, be more transparent, practice meritocracy, etc etc…do you think we are living in a better place compared to yesterday?

save the sophisticated scenarios, i put it in such simple rhetorics:

corruption

which driving malaysian hasn’t had an encounter with our friendly traffic police by the roadside, and discussed about coffee?

which malaysian doesn’t know you have to pay some under table fees to things done in any government office?

which malaysian that deals directly with the authorities can deny kao tim-ism is so blatantly common its natural behavior to the officers.

which malaysian can deny it’s an open secret that any considerable business ventures, a certain amount must go to the local politician?

racism

which malaysian student can deny that many opportunities of further studies, are robbed from deserving applicants to be given to undeserving princes/princesses of the land?

which malaysian student can deny that scholarships are given not based on results and needs, but color and creed?

which malaysian can deny that important government posts have a preference towards a certain color?

which learned malaysian can refute that NEP is a total farce for a self proclaimed democratic and just nation?

transparency

there’re no open tenders for government projects.

there’re no disclosure of contracts/agreements made by the government with favored contractors/businesspeople even when taxpayers’ money are used carelessly.

mishandling of tax money

how many times do the local authorities have to pave-dig up-repave-dig up-repave the road in front of your house?

incompetent government-linked-companies getting bailed from bankruptcy with tax money without taxpayers’ approval.

local authorities paying ridiculous amount of money to substandard quality…eerr.things.

i could go on further, but i think you got my point. this is a modern day repackaged and localized apartheid.

another point i wanna bring to notice. see how the ruling party like to promote public developments with the slogan of “satu lagi projek kerajaan bee-an”? they paved a damn road and says its all thanks to bee-an. they built a masjid and claim all credit to bee-an. but think properly, aren’t those public amenities that tax payers should be getting for paying their taxes? they have absolutely no rights to claim credits for what they are obliged to deliver at the first place. its like giving an award to a doctor just because he prescribed panadol and cured a headache.

i believe many who are IT savvy are learned individuals. especially in the blogosphere. many would know right from wrong. utilize the power of the internet to magnify your voice of reasons.

malaysia belongs to us all. no matter how rotten the place might be. it is up to us to mend it. being ignorant is not an option now.

i popped my cherry

2007-08-27T01:17:00.000-07:00

dear all,

congratulations on dropping by my infant blog, created solely for me to kill time. i’ll take you down with me, thank you.

for the obvious (and not so obvious) reasons, bombastic english will be kept at a bare minimum here, lest my friends get all confused and become intimidated.

some simple facts and figures about myself. you can call me sheon (pronounced “shawn”), its bear in chinese, yes, “GROAAAAR!!!” bear, bear. born 81. i extend the ruler by 182cm, and tip the scale at 110kg. yes i am overweight, but please save yourself the humiliation by challenging me in sports. i love my food. i love my animals. i love cars.

i was born in kl, grew up in alor star, reside in kl, work in kl, stationed in bkt mertajam. yes, i work as an engineer, i build things. my list of credentials include kl pavilion, suria stonor, pj 32 square, kl-putrajaya dedicated highway, all bear my fingerprints. and i am awfully proud of them. so now, to not break the chain of mega projects that was involved with, i’ve sold my life and soul to the electrified double tracking project for 5 freaking years.

no i don’t have a gal fren, and don’t think will have one in the near future. however, i won’t stop girls from sending in their undies. my address is: 66 taman sejahtera, alma, bkt mertajam.

my political inclination is towards democracy. meritocracy. and fairness to all. i think corruption is blatantly notorious here, and it is killing our country, and most people are just too ignorant to give a damn. i am not a racist, but i would if you are to me.

i am a free thinker, but i am not an atheist. i believe in some superior beings, well beyond our human comprehension. i believe in the supernatural, but please dun lemme encounter one.

i love animals, but i am embarrassingly scared of insects. but nothing looks funnier than the sight of me squealing and running for dear life at the sight of a spider. yes, i am arachnophobic. please be warned, if you throw a spider at me, i will f@*king murder you.

my health is ok. despite being overweight, i just had my full comprehensive blood test done not long ago. but, i have a lousy digestive system. nothing sends me faster to the loo than milk and food that my gut is sensitive to.

i love cooking as much as i heart eating. but i hate doing the dishes. i’d make you 3 meals a day without hesitation, unless i ran out of recipes, or crave for some msg.

i am always laughing and smiling. most of the time. but i dun feel quite comfortable around strangers. that’s why i reckon a lot of people will actually find me not-so-friendly during our first encounter.

i love shoes. i love shoes. i love shoes. that pretty much says it all.

i am a regular (but not limited) to these few blogs.

i like kennysia for his uncanny humor. i like nicole for her travelling journal (that chick’s got balls). cheesie for her food review and eye candy. pinkpau for her writing style (if you’d notice me adopting her capital-letter-less sentences) on such diversified topics. jade z for her ramblings about student life in tassie. cheesecakeerian for her bitchy alter-ego. rpk for his alternative insights. limkitsiang for his spirit. and little cutie pie misha for being such a princess. and finally, charmayne for her fool-proof donation drive, perseverance at its highest i say.

well, i wish i could go on and on. but need to go home liao. i wont observe any fixed schedule to update my blog. will write anything, anytime, anyhow i like.

signing off, from yours truly, sheon.
