The good, the bad and the silly.........

Think about this for a while,. i have a friend who defaulted on his credit cards (by the way he has seven cards) and the amount was only RM70,000 in 2003, and due to the snowball effect, in early 2008, his credit cards debts has skyrocketed to RM160,000 + and his family and his business is at stake now.

He got sued but he managed to worked out a rescue plan with the mitigation from the Centre Bank which eventually compelled him to pay RM2000 a month for the next 15 years with all the future interests calculated.

I took a random survey among my friends, shockingly most of them are being shacked by credit cards debts, and almost of them cant settle the amount promptly, worst still, they are nonchalant about the the interest(S) .

The good part of using credit card is, it helps us to monitor our spending behaviour, the bad part is , if you dont pay on time, you get slaugthered, and the silly part is,we just dont bother to pay on time.

When times are good, we tend to believe that it will last, so we spend like there's no tomorrow, untill we are hit when bad times finally arrive.

Parents play a crucial role in educating our children good virtues like "cut the coat according the cloth" or "saving for rainy days" or even " delayed gratification",so when they grow up, they will know well about handling their money.

How your Back was won.(The sick version)

I am a true believer of protecting one's right, i mean human right that ecompasses gay right, or lesbian right. As long as your right does not make any wrongs to others, by all means you can go on living with your right

I am sure most of us have heard of infidelity in marriages, husband cheating behind wife and vice versus, but the ugliest form of infidelity in marriage in my opinion i have heard just recently is husband having extra marital affair not with a woman but with a guy who happens to be a gay.

I have gays and les in my circle of friends, i have always respected their choices of their own existence, and i truly respect those who have made known their inclination of their sexuality, so they dont hide behind their true identity, and i always encourage them to find their true love.

To my dismay, Ric told me just the other day, he has found his, i was so very happy for him at the beginning. When he revealed to me that his love is a married man with two kids, i was flabbergasted, and i couldnt stop lecturing him. He shared with me how nice this partner is treating him, that he even rents an apartment for him or for his partner secret rendezvous. I stopped talking to him for a while and i just kept quiet, and the end of the conversation, i just said to him"Ric, you are going to send your partner's wife to the gallow, and when she puts her head through the noose, you are going suffer from the guilt for the rest of you life" then i said bye bye to him and i walked off.

Sometimes when i look at some of my friends' wives, i feel so sad for them because i know the fact that their husbands are having others loves, and it is even sadder that they didnt know anything about it, and living a life of being deceived.

I despise marriage infidelity, to me it simply means you are betraying someone's trust and you are living a double life, it is just like "Lucifer" in the form of "Casper the friendly ghost" . and the most sickening or the most despicable a man can do to his wife is to have an affair with a man.

Back to my friend Ric, as much as i respect the choices he made, i still cant accept that he is building his happiness at the expense of someone's unseen sorrow, we dont do that, do we?


P/S, Do not betray the trust that someone entrusts you with.

Melamine, Melamine you

Suddenly the world's attention in spot on the "Moos" , ok not literally on the "Moos", but the produce of this little white liquid from the "Moos", and thanks to the "Moos" we can learn a new vocab or two from the "Moos" as well. MELAMINE it is..........I dont have to give you the defination of the word, if you're inquisitive enough, just google it

The scare of milk and the rest of the dairy products that are tainted is so real, if you ask me "are you scared as well ?", the fact yes " I am". Come on we are talking about the lives of our little ones, any parents with a sound mind would be scared and terrified.

Read the comments from report in China's paper via internet, they claim this incident qoute "worse than terrorist attack" unquote. The onslaught of the incident is like an end time movie, where the villian will use all of its might and power to conquer human in ubiquitousness, and there is just no escapes. Who knows one day, it might just be everything we commsume will be all tainted and poisoned.

To be very frank, i cant trust the list of safe dairy and milk products of brands released by the Health Ministry, are they really safe? It looks like the snowball effect or effects of this catastrophe could be worse than we all thought, we are talking about tainted food here, not just toys, shoes, or tyres. And nobody knows how long has this been happening.

So far over 50.000 children are affected, and the numbers are increasing, what about the economical losses of the cows breeder, nobody wants to buy their produce anymore, and they are the innocent ones, everyday they will have no choice but to drain away the milk with no income coming in for them.

Raison d'etre

There is a famous local chinese cliche " one parent can raise ten children, but ten children cant even look after one parent". Well, you might think it is so funny when hearing this cliche, but it is so true in today's social setting.

May be we have heard it too often, how the old, feeble, sickly and near immobile parents are being tossed around from one child's house to the other, the situtation is worsely compounded when the daughter or son in laws are not so favourable in having the parents staying with them.

We were once our parents' raison d'etre (the reason for their existence), how they slogged for us, how they skimped for us so that we could have a little extra, they deprived themselves so that we could be well provided for.

Look us at us, we provide the best for our children, but when our folks ask a little extra, we tend to tell them how tight we are, (I am not sure about you, but in one or two occasion i was guilty of this too)

I truly believe our old parents' needs are not that hard to entertain, they just need that little to spend, what they need most is their longing for their children visits, they dont need to go to the fine dining restaurant to be happy, they just want to have the children around them, when they are having their meals, they dont need the high-tech phone which never rings, they just need a old Nokia 3310,to have their children calling them, they just need the children to tolerate their nags, in order for them to show us that they still care, they dont need the Mercedes, but they just need your hands to uphold them when they walk. They dont need your birthday present, they just need you to remember their birthday, they dont need your eating out on mother or father's day, they just need to hear you saying"i love you"

I know of this uncle who is his 70's now, when he retired, he took out his provident fund and started a small business ,hoping that the children could take over one day and the children would take this business to look after them. Sad to say, the children didnt want the business, closed down, lost the money and this uncle is solely dependent on the children, and this uncle is suffering now because the children are not that good.

By the way, if you are married, dont forget about your parents in law, they love to hear from you too.

P/S, when we look at our children, we must look back at our parents, they need us too

Slaved to Love

" There was a girl i used to know, she was oh so beautiful, but she's not here anymore. She had a college degree, smart as anyone can be, she had so much to live for. But she fell in love with the wrong kinda of man, he abused her love and treated her so bad"The way he proves himself a man by beating his woman with his hands. "

"How come , how long, it's not right, it's so wrong. Do we let it just go on. turn our backs and carry on, wake up for it's too late, right now we cant wait, she wont have a second try, open up your hearts and as well as your eyes. song from Stevie Wonder and Babyface (how come, how long)

"If your man abuses you physically even for the very first time, the alarm has sounded", this is what i used to tell my lady friends, but most often then not, girls will always be silenced by man's pathetic, apologetic, regretful look, therefore the violence reigns, this is so true.

This is exactly what happened to my old neighbour, she was abused by her husband, she ran away once from him, came back and the abuse continued. I told her to report to the police, she refused, and giving me the excuse that she could still handle it. Secretly i reported the case to the police, and when the police came,she refused to open the door for them. The funny thing was ,many of the neighbours knew about this, but all they did was saying things like how can this girl be so stupid, or may be she loved to be abused. Now that i have left the place, i pray and hope she is ok, and for me as a human i think i had done what i should have.

Domestic violence is so real, cases reported are cases reported but they are many more still go undetected and unreported. Imagine a girl being abused, and the trauma she has to go through, time after time untill she is too vulnerable to fight back or to make believe that this is what life has to offer to her.

A true love doesnt have to be like this, a true love doesnt make one feel slaved, lesser important or abusable.

As a parent, i know i have the responsibility to instill in my two boys about the respect that they must have for girls, that they should not in anyway make sexist jokes, or making fun at the girls' biological differences.

P/S, i guess god never made anyone of us weaker than the others to be abused, stand up .

Where is my Sextisfaction

I was MSNing with a good old lady friend yesterday, as i was encouraging her to start a blog, she pleasantly declined as she says she is not so good in writing, i conceded but she has one request for me though. She requested me to write something about ,hear this "making love" and "having sex" i gladly agreed, and here i am sharing my thoughts about this topic. (thanks for bringing up the topic, Moiz)


This request brings me back to a candid conversation i once had with a very close married lady friend few years ago, she was lamenting to me about her sexperience (sex experience) in short, with her husband, as she put it bluntly, she had never experienced the joy of making love instead, all she had was plain having sex, she confided in me that her sexperience has never brought about the big "O" to her as her partner suffers the preE.


I remember vividly how frustrated she was sounding as she described a little further (details are not useful in this post), curiously i asked her why has her husband not gone for a medical consultation, she told me he was too egotistic to accept the fact that he suffered form preE and he needed medical remedy. I told her i was confused how can this happen, when two persons can be totally naked and immerse in something so wonderful as making love , yet there is one party who is suffering from it. Now i can conclude that the difference that separates "making love" and "having sex"

Having sex, to put it plainly can be concluded as this, as long as i got all sexed up, no matter how soon or how long it takes, i just dont have to bother how my partner feels, whether she could hit the climax or not , it is none of my business. That's what having sex is , it is about me , me and more me.

Wherelse, making love involves the love , the attention, the admiration of your partner's body, the caress, the laughters and most important the mutual satistaction for each other, it is the time when we assure the love and respect we have for our partner, and we must not let our partner suffer in silence.

P/S, God gives us the need, but it must not be abused to our own selfishness

If Tomorrow Never Comes... 916

I have a confession to make, if i dont say it now, i will be most remorseful for the rest of my life. It is not just about me, it is about my family and the future of my children. I had a girl friend...

Yes you heard it right, i had a girl friend, in short i used to call her BN, all these years i gave my all to BN, i loved BN dearly, through thick and thin i stood besides her, and BN even made a lot of promises to me, BN told me she only wanted to hear the "truth",from me, that my welfare will be her main concern, she would protect me from all the corruptors., from north to south, from east to west , BN vowes to construct corridors for me, it was kinda of like stairsway to heaven.
Sometimes i would even lied to myself to believe her, scandals after scandals she committed , i chose to keep it all to myself, untill one day to extent i went to see my good friend Micheal Chong for help, sad to say he told me "only fool like me would fall in love with her".

When i needed her most, she was no where to be found, i remember one incident when my house was badly flooded, she just dissappeared to "Land Down Under", at that point my heart was like shattered into pieces.

For so many years, i told my girl friend BN that i wanted equality and recognition, she told me not to discuss this publicly, i was coaxed to my silence when she told me to talk about it behind "closed door", again i fell prey to her uncanny charm, back then everybody used to call her "Miss Nice Girl".

Deep inside me, i knew day after day i was being pushed down to the abyss of deceit, so i decided to call it quit, for i knew her promises would never materialize. So i confronted her, blatanly she told me for all these years she treated me like a real fool that i needed to cling on to her, and that i am powerless without her, she even labelled me as an "squatter"" in her life, she challenged me that there was no way she would do the best for me, she even brandished her "keris" to show me her prowess.

I knew my time has come for me to forsake BN and to stoke the new flame that i found in my new girlfriend, (PR is her name), PR assured me that she would make all bad and turn in good for me, she vouched to put myself before her, she promised to build a house where one day all of my chilrdren will be equal. I could trust her because once she had a boyfriend just like BN, and for years PR has come to realize that to sustain a relationship, there must be CAT (Competency, Accountablity and Transparency) at work.

PR told me that she would give me due recognition , therefore she told me many months ago she had chosen the date 16th of September to announce to the world of our union.

16th of September, is just another day away, i do not harbour much hope that this would come to pass, but even tomorrow never comes, i am willing to wait a little longer to see the light at the end of the tunnel, now that i have forsaken BN, and i had got over all those empty promises and "tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies" stuff. My heart as for now is for my new love PR

P/S , my heart will go on, as long as i believe there is hope

just who do you think you are?

Everyone should know or ought to know who this guy is (Ahmad Ismail)he rattles the peace of our nation, he stirs up emotion, just who does he think he is? I guess he is just another bankrupt politician, since somebody took over the state administration, suddenly he realized the goodies he has been enjoying all this while is gone, no more contracts, no more favours, no more recognition, so he went crazy, and a typical example of being political incontinance.

So his anger boils, and he capitalised by harping on sensitive issue in one contest, damn it again, they lost badly. The other side wanted him to apologize for his unwarranted remarks, he refused. Just who does he think he is? he is just a small potato, a big man like me doesnt need his apology.

Why should we get angry with such a person of low standard, just who deos he think he is? he is nothing, simply because he doenst even understand his country's history.

This country's foundation was strongly cemented by all, and no one should claim credit to oneself, therefore we should not let one fool destroy all that we have built. Government can come and go, but the country we love must stand strong forever.
We must protect our country, for here lies the future for our children, we must stave off sectarian and bigoted idealogy, we must fend off those in power who triumph at the expense of others' race, colour, gender and religion, and who bulldoze the country's wealth for their own benefits

I like to see my Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, Kadazan, Dusun , bidayuh, kelabit friends and all the rest to succeed in this land because this blessed land belongs to everyone of us, and we shall make all animosities history, we should move forward hand in hand so that we can stand tall in the eyes of the world.

Let's spill out the beans

My Jovial (that's my eldest son) confided in me and my wife that he liked a girl in the class, well we probed further, like who is she, how does she look like, and etc and etc, like parents do, on top of that we are proud that he could open to us comfortably.

Sometimes it is most amusing when our own children open up to us about the BGR (boy girl relationship) issues, deep inside my heart i know it is kind of early for him to have a go at BGR, but then again since he has opened to us, i know i have the responsibity to guide and assure him correctly.

I began to tell him about what infactuation, chemistry between a boy and a girl is and the biological and emotional changes he bound to experience in times to come, i shared with him my experience of infactuation and how my puppy love was snatched away by my cat friend (we had a good laugh about this)

I know my son is getting in a bit in vanity, he knows it and i assured him it was ok to feel good about himself, to look good and feel good.

I cant imagine, given another few years, when he steps in into teenhood, man i need to do more homeworks than he does, because i want him to have some core values that are precious in his upbringing

P/S, someone calls it puppy love. and someone help me , help me please.

Drop dead beautiful

Went to see some customers this morning,i was in lift with this gorgeous looking, toned complexion, sporting a stunning short cut, about 5'6", and she cuts an atheletic figure, i pressed for floor 29th, she stood there without saying anything, i guess she must be going to same floor as i am.

Sometimes it could be kind of awkward when this happens in the lift, you wanted to look her beauty, but you are so scared that you might be labelled as a maniac of any sort, but i tell you man, she is a bomb.........

As the lift wasnot running that fast, second seems so long, i finally drummed the courage and opened my mouth, and this is the exact words i said to her " you look very beautiful, you must be an outdoor person, and i am sure you go to gym as well"
My heart was pounding as if i was just struck by a thunder bolt, there was a very brief silence, and she looked at me and said "thank you" and still continued telling me indeed she is an outdoor type of person.

The door of the lift opened, as we both sauntered out the lift, we continued talking about being fit and what not, without realizing, we both entered the same office, to my present surprise, she works in the same office as my customer.

She made my day today, i was still laughing to myself as i drove for another appointment.


P/S , a sincere complement is sure to break the ice

Want a girl.........?

Ok, before i begin,please take a peek at my family setting. Myself (42 of age), my wonderful wife (38), my most charming eldest Jovial (11), and my most adorable yongest Marvell(7).

Just recently, my wife bought up a subject of adding another member into family, she wanted a ta laaaaaaaaa, a girl, i was not at all shocked by her proposal nor was i willing to let her down, i listened and i said to her, here is my explaination for her.

We have been married for the past 12 years, and we have been busy for that period of time and we have had not really spent enough time as like just the two of us because most of times it is like children time. I have always told her i really looked forward to the time when we both can enjoy ourselves, (another just the two of us time )together, doing the things that we both like, by then the children are already in their teen.

If we were to have another girl, i dread that i could achieve that dream of mine because another 10 years will be spent looking after the latest addition.

P/S. girl, please forgive me, your wish is not granted by our wish shall come to pass

This is the best part...... being a dad

The best part being a father to two wonderful sons is.. they are there for me when i am worn out, stressed out or even drained out, you might not agree with me but it is true.

They make me feel loved (besides my wife, for sure), everytime when my sons hug me and kiss me, i am all perked up especially when i am feeling stressed, they might not know that, but they are in fact reassuring their dad that life is good.They can be boisterous most of the times, but beyond those noises, i feel blessed that i have got two healthy and jovial boys that can thump and hump about, and this blessing is good enough for me to see beyond my problems.



P/S.. Thank you Jovial and Marvell for being there for me, appreciate it

I love myself

Stiff neck, not smiling a lot, not sleeping well, dont feel like doing blog hoping , moody at times and i know i am under it...What is the "it", "it" here refers to stress. Yes i am under stress, and yes stress is real and yes stress drains me out phsyically and mentally...

But one consolation though, i knew it , i reconized it and i wanted to face it, sometimes we can be caught by stress when we least expect it to happen to us, it is like sudden dark clouds shrouding over you, chasing away your good feelings and leaving you feeling battered.

I was under it for the past few days, but today i decided that i must by hook and by crook get over it, i dont want my days to be ruined by this malaise, i know i can triumph over this. Determined, i told myself this morning i must start doing somethings about it,,,,,so i decided to set little goals only for today.........as i am writing now, i am feeling so much better now...

P/S, sorry to my blogger friends, if i have not been visiting you for the past few days,,
