The power of a deceased beauty

When i read the news about the 3 impending by elections with all the hullabaloos and with the Malaysia's new record (15 candidates in one by election) being achieved, i was further amused with this piece of news. The authority concerned has issued a conditional police permit barring the campaingers from using the name of Altantuya, (the murdered Mongolian beauty) during their political speeches.

As if we have not done enough to make ourselves a laughing stock,and with this kind of refrain, i guess the world over will be more entertained by this Malaysia made farce. One just cant find a rational, acceptable,logical and reasonable excuse for the authority concerned to issue such a funny order.

You may ask,what has this murdered mongolian beauty named Altantuya got to do with our Malaysia's domestic affairs, and i think the answer can never be found,lest we squeeze our brain juice to find the answer or anwers for we are being barraged with too many bad news already such as all the economy gloom.

We can only pray that justice be done on earth as it is in heaven.

If you ask me personally, i would say one should not be there for too long in power,lest it will become too powerful, too corrupt, too unreasonable and too crazy, therefore sometimes CHANGE will do us good.

P/S : RIP Altantuya,,,,

There is a Me in Him

I guess most of us parents would agree with me just one thing,even if you could disagree with me many other things,but this one thing you sure will have to agree with me, it is simply bringing up children is sure no walk in the park.


I was doing some soul searching in relation to the area of parenting,especially dealing with my eldest son Jovial, he is 12 now, and suddenly i realized that it is not that hard to teach, to guide, to bring up to be a fine young boy. I realized that most of the difficulties when dealing with him, it is not all about him, but it is most of me, and i came to understand that this son of mine has some traits that are identical with mine.


So as i looked for more constructive and meaningful ways in dealing with Jovial, it shocked me to understand that i have to first of all look into myself first, his mischievousness,his cockiness, his stubbornness, his foolhardiness, his carefreeness and some others traits of his came from me.



As i dealt deeply with myself, i was asking myself with all these identical traits that i share with Jovial, certain questions surfaced. How do i like to be treated? How do i want somebody to tell me my wrongs? How do i want to be told that my stubbornness will not hurt others? How do i need to be reminded that my foolhardiness will not cause any malaise to others, and so and so forth at the age when i was a boy his age ?



I questioned myself with the same quotes i questioned Jovial. i flared the same anger at myself with the same anger i did unto him, i brushed myself off with the same excuses i used towards him, I raised my voice at myself with the same kind of tone i threw at him. Sincerely i had to come face to face with myself that i did not like any of these actions that i did to myself, but subconciosuly i did it all these to Jovial.


We always propagate the phrase "Dont do to others what you dont like others to do unto you" but we always fail to practise that advice on our family and especially our children.





P/S : Son, Let me learn, as i want you to learn, let me see the mistakes i make,as i want you to see the mistakes you make, and let me see me in you....

When my young is chicken poxed......

My youngest son Marvell was down with chicken pox since last Friday,and he would have to skip classes i was told it was going to be about a week or so, and he is not at all happy for having to skip classes for Marvell is a kind of boy who loves going to school.


As far as i am concerned, chicken pox is one funny disease that can bring so many sweet memories to me, i remember when i had chicken pox as a young boy, i was refrain from doing so many things.

I had to wear long overall, i could not be exposed to sun, to rain and to dews, i could not eat chicken, that any kind of foods that were seasoned with black soya sauce, i must not look at all things black because if i did, i would grow up having black spots all over my body. And my mother would caution me that if i broke the taboos, i would marry someone ugly when i grow up, and with all my vanity, i followed all the "DONTS" with utmost obedience.

Unlike Marvell, i did enjoy my days of having chicken pox simply because i could skip school for about two weeks, back then,if you absent from school,you didnt have to do all the homeworks during your absence.

When our youngs are sick,one love is so evidently manifested. there is the love of a mother,just look at my wife,she could be so busy looking after Marvell,and she would make sure that she cooks all the foods for Marvell, and she would wake up in the middle of the night to make sure that Marvell is well and have no problem sleeping. Thank you dear for your patience and your love towards the children, i appreciate it


If you have any funny chicken pox strories or any absurd taboos, please share with us, it is good to relive those memories.


P/S : Get well soon Marvell, papa and mommy are here to tender to you

Who are you exalting anyway ?

A christian friend i bumped into during my usual coffee break venue asked me did i still go to church, of which i meekly replied yes and no. Every time when my christian friends ask me this particular question, i try to dodge it whenever possible, i dont know why they want to ask me this question,or could it be that they are trying to show concern, if that is the case then a simple "how are you keeping ?is suffice in my opinion or is it because if i dont go to church, i will be lesser a christian and thus i am exposed to all those of temptations.


Ok, back to my friend that i bumped into, she was not willing to let me off the hook about me not giving her a concrete answer as to go to churh or not. During the whole question, no question was asked about my family, my business but all questions revolved around why i not going to church,or it is important going to church,how can i stop going to church. On top of that she was beginning to promote to me that her church had got this famous or reknown pastor from Korea coming to her church, that i should not miss the chance of catching him preaching, she could not stop telling me how anointed and gifted that preacher was, i was sitting feeling agitated and not wanting to offend an old church friend, i kept my cool.


Everytime i tried to digress the topic of going to church or not, she was just not willing to let me go, moreover she began to tell me how her church would be rebuilt to a even bigger church because those rich christians in her church donating handsomely to the church. Ok, by this point, she had already driven me to the max, i raised my voice slightly higher, and i started shooting her with my questions.


I asked, who exactly are you exalting ? God or that famous preacher from Korea, or those rich christians in her church ? She was dumbfounded and i went on the offensive, i told her not even once in your conversation you gave thanks to the ONE above, not even once you shared with me how your big church would impact the community and helping out the needy.


I stood up and excused myself for being late for work and telling her even i if dont go to church, that doesnt make me a bad human, even if i dont listen to that famous preacher's sermon, that wont make me weaker a human either, and finally for those rich christians in her church, instead of building bigger and bigger church,they should build more orphanages and sponsoring more poor students i said to her


I am sorry, i knew she was furious but then again, stop telling me something i regard as fallacy.


P/S : The conclusion is fear GOD,and keep his commandments

I could have been otherwise, sexually...

When checking out PCFoong's blog during lunch, was awestruck by the title of his lastes post, "Is Homosexuality a choice ?" There were so many comments given by his readers,and yours truly is one of them too, i care too believe there is or there are no particular conditions that would change one to a homo, you may say it could be due to inborn hormone defiency or imbalance or any other reasons, but that it self cannot establish that one is destined to be a homo, that's solely my opinion.

As a parent and as a father to two wonderful sons, i know i have a crucial responsibility to expose my sons in the area of sex and sexuality at anytime i deem right and ripe, i also know that it is inevitable for them to feel confused, curious, inquisitive about anything about sex or even their own sexuality. I am not trying to make sure that they have to go up "straight" but i need to instill in them what sex is all about, the understanding of it, the dark side of it and their duty towards their own sexuality, again it shall all be told when time is right and ripe

I strongly believe children (at the appropriate age) should be told about sex and sexuality, just to make them known what is wrong and right, and how they can protect themselves from being abused sexually. We have read about those sexually abused children , and just imagine the stigma these little angels have to suffer longer than they thought they could. I reckon that child abuse cases can be controlled, if the children know that their parents are open to them about sex,and they can run to their parents for protection when they are being sexually harassed even for the very first time.

I remember growing up as a teen full with the "Bees and Honey"questions, i so clamored to know all things sex but i could not get any. There was this third floor neighbour named "Henry" who would entice me to his house, and i tell you it was a fun going to his house initially because everytime i was at his place,he would show me the "PlayBoy" magazine and other porn materials, and i was struck like a hungry wolf panting for blood which i could only get from Henry's dungeon, and i could not tell my parents about me going to Uncle Henry's house,scared that they would punish me.

Suddenly,things changed from Henry, instead of showing me the "PlayBoy" magazine, he showed me the gay materials, at age of 15 then, i was confused and he knew that i was confused about it, but some how or rather, i came to my senses,i knew i was going there to see "Playboy" magazine not gay materials, so i ran quicky down to my house, and finally took the gut to tell my mother about it and i am thankful that my mother did not punish me for my misdeed.

I could have been another sexually abused child back then, i could have all mixed up about my sexuality and i could have become otherwise (hahahahah)

But on a serious note, let our children have the courage to talk to us about sex, and their sexuality, be open to them do not let them suffer in silence, that itself in my opinion could affect thier sexuality to be "straight or otherwise". Let them know that nobody should bully their sexuality and they should respect others' sexuality as well.

P/S : We know what the children dont know, and what they dont know could leave some indelible marks be it good or bad upon their lives

Sex and Blogging

One glance at my post title, you might be thinking is there any correlation between sex and blogging, you might be wrong if you think there is none, as a matter of factly, there are many things one can learn about sex from blogging than other platforms, and i can tell you those are written with truthfullness and candiness

My daily ritual of blogging, i fully utilise my lunch time to do blog hoping to whatever blogs that come my way, and just like today, bumped into one blog (owner of the blog a lady) she wrote so openly about how to become a better lover in person and in bed. She even elaborated what a man should do during foreplay, during intercourse and even post intercourse, i was amazed of how useful those tips are and i was even humbled by this blogger simply acknowledging that indeed there are so many things i must learn to be a better lover,(hahahaha)

I have written down what i have learnt, and i hope if the mood is right, i shall put it all up in my blog, and share with you guys.

Seriously, if you think you are lousy lover, try blogging, oops i mean go blog hoping, you might just land yourself into some blogs that will transform you doom to boom in sex....

P/S : If you think you have learnt enough, think again

This is your captain speaking

For the first time, listen to your heart....

It is a kind of religious routine for me to take my whole family to Borders bookstore and while away the whole Saturday afternoon in Starbucks reading books or browsing through magazines,i have found it to make more economical sense than buying books over a Grandis Caremel and a piece of cake from Starbucks.

During my little soujorns in Starbucks aka Borders i have met some interesting people and my presence there had acquainted me with the baristas of Starbucks' and when ordering i would just call them by their names and shared some light jokes with them while waiting for my orders to be delivered. Sometimes being nice to others it will reap some goodies for you too,simply because people would just like to treat those who are nice to them in the first place well.

Friends also can be made and interesting conversations can be heard too. Over the last Saturday, was there as usual, a grandis of Caremel was no exception and a piece of cheese cake to complement a afternoon of a family reading outing. Met a regular couple that i knew from there, walked over exchanged greeting and some light conversation ensued, the conversation was punctuated with my sons wooed me over to sit with them.

As i was leaving Starbucks and calling it a day, i walked over to this couple,with the intention to say bye,some how or rather,i sat down and another interesting conversation began to surface.
The lady was lamenting and telling me how boring her life was, how her day ins and day outs became so stale and what not. I like this couple friends and talking to them has always been a breeze so it was not a problem for me to share my thoughts with them, i told her to get involved with some sports, may be to a start a blog or to learn something new.

From the conversation that i had with them, suddenly a question popped up in mind as i bid my farewell to them. The question that was so strong for me that i really wanted to share with you.
The question that bothered me goes like this " When Was The Last Time You Did Something Nice For or To Yourself, For The First Time? "

You see we can come up with an armoury of excuses to deny ourselves of something we really wanted to do that would make us feel happy about ourselves,but somehow we always get eluded by those silly excuses, dont we? We told ourselves that we wanted to go to the gym, we wanted to learn salsa,pole dancing, learn something new or whatever not but we always end up whining and complaining that we cant do this because of this , this ,that . that and this this again.

There was once, i heard my friends said, how they wanted to see what they woud look like if they had their heads shaven bald, but they never did, so i took that challenge and i had my head shaved clean bald for the first time and i felt so proud of myself. I ran my first half marathon, despite knowing that i did not train enough for it, i ran and i managed to finish well below the alloted time, and i was proud of myself again, and this time i will train for a full marathon and i vow to make it FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I am stil learning the art of treating myself well, and suddenly i came to know that there was just one thing that i had left idle for a long time, my guitar and i wanted to get back to it and rekindle the love i had for it FOR THE FIRST TIME, to play it again.

P/S: Open that door and breathe a new scent of air, for you truly deserve it

When something not right seems all right....

Give you a question,folks. Here goes, what is the world's oldest trade? think for a while before you continue reading...........

Ok, you dont get it do you ? It is none other than "prositution", ya you heard me right, as long as their is man, as long as there is existence of sexual desire, there is prositution. Many of us may regard prositution as something immoral, nasty and you may rebuke me for saying that prositution is not as bad as you think it is.

Imagine a guy who is of all normal except one or two things that shun him away from potential marriage candidates. For one he is not earning that well, secondly he has an old and feeble mother to look after, everytime he comes back from work, he has to tend to his mother,and his social outing is further restraint from his lack of disposable income, thus that also curtails his changes of knowing girls, and may be there is none for his taking or none would take him.

So what about his sexual needs, a natural human's desire that needs to be taken care of ? Where would be his avenues to have his most fundamental human's need be met? I leave it to your own reasoning and rational.

I wrote this piece not because i can condone immorality or prostitution, i am all for marriage loyalty and fidelity but there are guys out there who might not be as lucky as i am or as you are.

Actually, i told a friend that it was all right for him to go FOR IT once in a while, he is in his mid fourties, self sufficient(only self sufficient),an old mother to look after and has no other siblings.

Please dont scorn, rebuke or even admonish me, i am or rather we are all human...

P/S : When we look around us, we understand more........

Getting better being a Papa

I must admit parenting is a science by itself, it covers all spectrum of life, human-relationship, anger management, stress management, oratory skill, effective communication and lots more. And as my children are growing up fast and fury, i as a Papa for my two wonderful sons needs to update the syllabus of parenting science as well, I am no longer in primary one, i need to be in secondary already.

I had a cordial talk with my Jovial last night, i shared with my joy and my frustration being a dad, my fear and my concern as he grows up and the changes that he might soon experience, be it biological or pyscological. He in return talked about him being himself, he himself being naugthy, he himself being a son to Me.

I appreciate my readers giving me their advice, especially those who have grown up children and those who had experienced a DIFFERENT kind of childhood, and i wholeheartedly saying thank you for those who sent me e-mails narrating their childhood experience,and reminded me things that i should avoid doing to my sons.

P/S: I know i am a good dad, when i hear this from my sons "I Love You,Papa"

Son, just believe in yourself

Heard some noise coming from the hall, my wife was kind of mad whilst teaching Jovial (my eldest) some mathematic exercises,which she deemed was important simply because Jovial didnt fare too well in that particular subject fromhis most recent exam,56/100.

I took a while to scan the whole situation, and indeed i was mad at him,while my wife was teaching him,he was looking blank and acted non chatlanly and disdainly towards my wife. That manner of his infuriated me, i walked over to the table and showed him my "pissed off" face, took his books,closed them up and directed him to his room.(that's what i usually do when i am mad at him, leaving some space between my anger and sanity.) After a while, when i finally composed myself, and put my anger in check, i sauntered into his room, calling out his name and the preacher side of me surfaced, and there i started my sermon without the pulpit.

And the gist of my sermon to Jovial is as follow, i told him that first he must recognise that he is weak in his mathematic,and secondly he must make a decision to improve on it or otherwise,if he chooses to improve, then he must be willing to spend extra effort in it and most of all he must be happy doing. I told him my only concern is for him to find the HAPPINESS in exceling himself.

I gave him a pat and hug, and i left him in the room to allow him to do some thinking,and i assured him that what i wanted for him is for him to be happy, and being happilly smart.

P/S : Son, i know you are trying and am proud of you and love you.

Thank God for The Bad Times

The picture as illustrated below is sure no camping site,where one can hear boisterous children running around, all going about merry making and there is sure no bonfire of joy in sight, and it is neither the cimema prop for the Oscar winning "Slumdog Milllionaire"In fact this is a picture taken from the California's capital city of Sacremento's "Tent City" where the homeless come here to set up tents and seeking refuge. The recent global economy turmoil has escalated the rate of umployment in the US, and many have lost their homes as the result of the plummeting economy.

At last our Malaysian government has admitted that indeed this economy set back is so serious with our FDI (foreign direct investment) dropped by close to half, and the export is experiencing the similiar quantum. At least they admitted not like previous months, where we were told that Malaysia would be ok.

As far as my business in concerned, i am encountering the same problem of dropping sales but i am determined not to let this dampen my spirit and i need to work extra hard to weather this stormy period and i hope i shall come out if stronger.

P/S: We cant see the bad in good times, and thank God for bad times

Blogging and the unseen friendship.......

Cant really do anything,cant go for my run,simply because it is raining like dog and cat (anyway,how did they coin the word "dog and cat?" and worse of all, it is Sunday. So here i am fiddling with my computer and as i was vegetating in front of it,nothing came to my mind as what i should blog about in this kind of gloomy and unexciting evening.

As it has become habitual for us bloggers to look up to our own blog and to see if there is anyone leaving comments and any surprises from our blog, i am sure all of us do that,dont we? So as i was scrolling up and down, i saw a new comment left by a cyber friend of whom i have never met and yet with whom i so gladly calling him my friend , the comment he left in this post you've got a friend is something i would call as warm and non patronizing,something straight from the heart,something endearing. I am truly touched by my friend's gesture in just visiting my blog with no other intentions at all but just to read me here and sending his regards to me and my family,that's suffice to a great cyber friendship.

And in return, i go to their blogs and read them there as well and if i sense that my bloggers friends are into any miscomfort or under any kind of pressure be if from their works,family, relationship or others, the least i can do for my cyber friends is simply offering them kind and edifying words in anticipation of cheering them up, i dont have to give them advice(i am not qualified to) but a few simple words of encouragement and letting them know that someone out there cares,that to me is heart warming.

If you have been blogging for quite a while now, and if you cant feel like what i feel as i elaborated above, just try to reach out further, and seriously you will be pleasantly surprised when something or some comments you have left in someone else's blog could have cheered someone up may be in their most difficult situation, i personally felt that before.

Friendship comes in many forms,realms and spheres but one thing transcends it all,is our sincerity in keeping that frienship.

It is already six in the evening now, and i guess the rain will continue to pour and the rest of the evening shall remain monotonous, and until the dusk sets in and the evening giving way to the night, i am glad that i have got this thing called BLOGGING to keep me occupied.

P/S : If i call you my friend today, will you call me your friend tomorrow ?

I love the night life,especially the Friday's

As you all have already known the political landscape of our beloved motherland Malaysia has changed in way that we never thought possible,Barisan National the ruling party lost the 2/3 majority,and it was further aggravated with the loss of another five states' administration and our once liked and now not so like PM Abdullah conceded the defeat and with that came the enormous pressure that has resulted in his premature departure as PM before his full term, it has truly been a watershed in our Malaysia political history.

Oops before i forget, why am i getting so serious today, it is not supposed to be like this, and it must not be like that, seriousness should not co-exist with me today because today's FRIDAY, it is chill out, hang loose, hair down for me and for everyone else.

So i hope as usual today i will bring you a quiz, i hope in a way could cheer you up. Please feel free to leave your answers to the quiz as crazy as you can think of, and hopefully with that gesture,you will make somebody else laugh a little bit more.

Please take note,this aint a tag because personally i dont like tags, so here goes.

1)If Najib and Abdullah were to fight it out in the boxing ring, and Anwar being the referee, who do you think will emerge as the champ and who will get the black eye?

2)In all your creativity, what funny words can you come out with from the acroynm of C4?

3)If you need to kill someone off politically, what scandals can you conjure besides sex tapes, nude pictures and corruption ?

4)If "Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka" was the shout of independance in 1957, what 3 uniformed words can we shout now in 2009 "---,---,--- " fill in the blank,please ?

5)Why do you think our politicians love to use this phrase "No Comment" ?

6)If i publicly declare that i am promiscuous, casanova and am a playboy, do you think i have a place in Malaysia's political arena or will you vote me into the office?

7)If Malaysia's politicians must be given a cartoon character's name, what do you think best suits Samee Veelu, Kor Chu Koon , Choy Shoy Lek and K,Toyol ?

8)If Spiderman were to fight a villian (in term of a political figure) in Malaysia, who do you that villian would be?

9)Who makes more money in Malaysia, a prominent brain surgeon or ruling party's politician?

10)Name one movie that has the strongest resemblance that can best describe our political stituation ?

P/S : Malaysia is a block buster movie, but sometimes the politicians make it a laughing stock, but still i truly love this country.

You've got a friend

Remember there's this song from Cat Steven who eventually changed his name to Yussuf Islam ? there is just one song that so synonymous with him as far as i am concerned is this song "You've got a friend" and one part of the song that i really like is this "winter,spring,summer or fall, all you have to do is call, and you know i'll be right there for you, you've got a friend"

I am blessed because i have friends who care, and now i am even blessed because i have some cyber friends (i shall call them bloggie as of buddy) who care too. As i was chatting briefly online with one bloggie who has been so helpful and patient to share her knowledge with me as far as making some money from blogging is concerned, she even went to the extent teaching me on how to register in certain websites, and she was like practically teaching me from A to Z, and she would ever so willing to share with me if she has found new ways of making money on line, and i am thankful for her effort.(name withheld, dont want her to be hassled.)

The reason i love blogging so much is that it gives me the sense of worthiness,knowing that there are in fact friends out there that can be found and cherished.

I hope one day when i lay down motionless, and when my time is up on this earth, there is only one thing i would like to see in the eulogy for me from my friends is simply this "There Lies a Good Friend of Mine"

P/S: Have you ever tried, really reaching out for the other guy ?

Ladies, give yourself a break...

I heard somebody calling me "Eugene, Eugene" as i looked over my shoulder briefly, couldn't recognize anyone, so i walked on. Out of nowhere came a lady who gave me a pat on my shoulder and said " hey i am Christine, you cannot recognize me or what ?" meekly i told her indeed i could not recognize her. Why ? Simply because she has "blown out of proportion" in term of physical appearance, and she is not the Christine that i knew during our working days again in term of physical appearance. I asked her if she wanted to join me for lunch, and she agreed. Over the lunch and as usual we talked about those days when we were collegues, and asking about the other collegues' current condition as well, but there was just one thing that i really wanted to get off my chest during our lunch. "Christine, how the heck did you gain all those weight, or how did you turn from Quarter Pounder to Big Mac ( I love this analogy because we were once working in McD)?

And finally i did manage to ask "Christine, how did you turn from Quarter Pounder to Big Mac?" She responded with a smile saying that she had no time for herself,lest exercise. Almost all of her time is spent for the children and the household, and she explained in details what she would do day in and day out. I totally agree with her that indeed she is one such busy woman. When i told her to allot sometime just for herself or to indulge in some forms of exercise like going to the gym or aerobic classes, the same answer she gave, and probably she enjoys what she is doing.

I remember many years ago, exercise was a no no for my wife, everytime when i went for my run especially during the weekend, she would just glue herself to the idiot box, after months of persuasion, she finally started to run and it has become a part of her now, she feels more energetic, healthy and most all of all, she feels good about herself now.

So ladies, give yourself a break, you really deserve it or rather your body really needs it. Keep that body of yours pumping and soon enough, you will feel so good about yourself, and your perceptive towards yourself will change, that in return will give you a sense of worthiness. I have read so many stories about how exercise could change a WOMAN, to heal her from ailments, to shed those unwanted fat and to get her feel so good about herself again.

If you look yourself at the mirror now, and you are whinning and complaining at how you look, and you start pinching on that tummy fat that almost dislodges from your torso, and you know it is time for you to start doing some exercises already.

Should have known better......

This post is based on a true story as carried in the local English daily, the main character is a guy called Kelvin 29 years old, if a picture tells a thousand words, probably you would think the main character in the picture is doing some thing great or out of the norm to woo a girl's heart or to win her favor,but sometime a picture may tell something different from what your eyes perceive.
The truth is, the picture is about this guy's desperate moves to get back the wife, to ask for forgiveness from the wife and to reconcile with the wife after he had been caught by the wife for cheating on her not once, twice but thrice.
He claimed that he was now repentant, he was wrong and most remorseful, so he decided to carry out the outrageous modus operandi such as kneeling down from dawn to dusk in front of a shopping mall hoping the wife would forgive him.
When i read this piece of news, it took me back to a conversation i had with my wife about infedelity when we first got married, and i can still remember her answer to me when i asked her, what would she do if i were to be found cheating on her, she simply said she could forgive me if it was the FIRST TIME, (see, i still have my license to sway, hahahahah) but there would be no turning back the second time and she was adamant about it.
Cheating on your wife more than once, and you expect forgiveness for the hurt and the torture you inflicted upon her, can it be so easily reconciled? Or rather, do you think your wife would be so gullible to believe that you would repent after your few flings?
The problem with most of us man is, we always think that girls outside are hotter, sexier, kinkier, more adventurous than our wife, and on top of that, we would always think that we would not be caught red handed and even if we were caught, we are so very sure that we have an armoury of excuses to defend our misdeeds.

Cut Cut Here, Cut Cut There, Cut Cut Everywhere..

My lovely wife told me yesterday that her company's top management was toying with the ideas of some cost saving measures, which if it does happen, will some ways affects everyone in the organisation. With the current economy predicament, i guess a lot of companies are doing their best to stay afloat, and this is the best time for us to buck up and everyone will have to do more than they are expected of to help the company to survive.

Even my two boys are aware of the current economy situation, and they are playing their little part too to help to save our house-hold expenses, for instance they have learnt not to use water heater too often, they turn off all the lights when they are not in use, the usage of air-con has been greatly reduced. And as a parent, i need to do more to set a good example, my wife and i have agree to cut down our entertainment expenses on which we mostly spend on bingeing on beer, i guess it has to work both ways, so bye bye Tiger and Heineken

Some crazy cut costing measures by a company that i have read about is that there is this company issuing company's directive to all staff to follow the following measures.
1) each staff will be given only a roll of toilet paper for a month, instead of the toilet paper hanged in the toilet for unlimited usage.

2) staff are not supposed to recharge their handphone batteries in the office.

3)staff are not allowed to bring in their individual radio or cd player to the office.

4)strickly no private calling via company phones, if traced double the amount used will be fined.

5) Beverages supplied by the company will be cut into half, once finished the next shipment comes ony next month

And the most absurd cost cutting measure i got to know is this, all those cost cutting measures will only affect the lower rung employees, those in the managerial positions and above, everything else is status quo. That is what i call Double Standard Cost Cutting. Just like our politicians, when toll hikes, electricity bill increase, they say no choice, sure they can say that, they dont have to pay ma....

If you have heard or read about any funny cost or austerity measures impose by any companies, please share with us, ya?

Who's the Boss, really?

As i look at the turn of events which led to the debacle and the stalemate of the scuffle of the state administration of the state of Perak, i feel so sad, so sad that the people there were put in the state of quandary or perplexity, suddenly their voice cannot be heard anymore, suddenly they feel, whether their interest and their welfare is being taken care of or the power struggle demostrated by certain pary is all that matters.

Call me childish or naive you may like, but i strongly believe that "democracy" is about people's power, we choose the people who we think are capable of taking care of us, and who for the sake of the nation and the people will come forth to defend us when our interest is being threatened, we did not choose the leaders who were trying to tell us who was mightier or more powerful, we are so sick of this. It is now 2009 and not 1969, we have grown up, and we can certainly co-exist with our brothers and sisters of all races.

Please go back to the people for a new mandate, and let the people choose for THEY are the boss.

Dont our politicians know that we are now faced with the toughest economy challenges of all time, if they do know then why are they still gaily enjoying power play and if they dont know, then it wil be like one particular politician said it that they are not up to the mark, and if they still dont own up to OUR expectation, we will choose to change and i think change is very very good.

Where are you now ?

Has it ever occured to you that once or many times in your LIFE there was or there were some person that had made that lasting impression in your life, and suddenly you are drawn to the question as where is she or he or where are they now?


As i was fiddling with my computer and towards the end of another working day yesterday, i had sometime to spare before i headed home, i went to FACEBOOK to take a brief tour to see the updates of my friends and to check out any messages that they would had left for me, and out of sudden, all my attention, focus and energy was drawn to a little box of search engine in FACEBOOK, that says search by name.

And indeed, there was this girl friend that i had failed to keep in touch for over 2o years now, and i was moved by this urge to search her name there, so full of anticipation and excitement, so i wrote in the little search box, the name Tanny Ooi, there were so many links appeared but none matched my intenton.

So again, i changed the name from left to right and in whatever sequence i deemed possible, and again i was barraged with the negative result one after another, not wanting to give up, i used the search "by school" icon,and finally.....................

Yes finally, i was served with another dissappointment, and all my hope and excitement was shattered, and looking at the clock that appeared in the little corner of my PC, i had actually used 27 minutes to search for this Tanny Ooi or Ooi Tan Nee。

Man, how i wish there was this search engine that could locate the whereabout of someone we intend to get hold of by only matching the old photos we have, instead of names, email, school or working place, would'nt it be good that way.


I was thinking to myself, why there was this strong urge or determination to look for this girl friend of mine, and after i had turned off my PC, i realized that in fact she had in a way brought some joy and happiness to me, when i was in my early 20s, and sometimes this sweet memory lingers. She was someone, ...oops better not to elaborate


So, as for you, is there any person that you had lost and you really wanted to reconnect, share your story with me,ya?


P/S : A note for my wife, dear Tanny came before you, so dont worry about it.hahahaha

Will Mr Anonymous please stand up !!!!!

The advent of BLOG has really opened up a new experience in its very own uniqueness for everyone of us to have some says in expressing ourselves, it is just human that we sometimes want to rant, blabber or they say let go the steam, and BLOG has just the right platform for us to do just that.

And as for many of us blog junkies, sometimes we might just get carried away in writing down in our blog something that we feel so strongly about, which might inadvertantly offend some readers in some ways, but as a responsible bloggers, i think many of us would agree that we are responsible in what we write, and we really do expect from time to time people leaving nasty comments in your blog, and some even use to scorn us in sending emails to us.

I strongly hold steadfastly to this saying that " we must learn to agree to disagree," i might not be in total agreement in what you say or vice versa, but the least one can do even if you felt that you have been offended, is to let us know who you are, instead of attacking someone with vulgarity, and obscenity.

I am not a SOPO blogger, but sometimes i really feel so strongly about some political issues that i really must get them off my chest, so i blog, but as they warn, writing something politically rightly or wrongly, we were told that we would be courting with problems, but please excuse me, i am a responsible citizen, and we bloggers sometimes just write what we feel, and that's all. For example, i think most of our politicians are not up to the mark be if from the ruling and opposition parties, as the country is facing th hardest economic situation of all times, and yet they are still happily embroil in power scuffle.

The End of The Road.......

I was told by a good friend yesterday that another friend that we both know was told by the doctor that he'd had got two weeks left before he would succumb to terminal lung cancer, and i was even told that this friend was so badly battered by this deadly disease that almost got him disfigured.

When my friend asked me if i wanted to follow him to pay this cancer stricken friend a visit or probably the last one too, i said no to him not that i cant just make a friend happy during the last few moments of his life but it was just that i dread to see a friend groans and moans in the agony of the disease, and may be my comforting words like "dont worry, you'll be all right, or hang in there my friend, they would be miracle" would spell any relief for him, the fact is that he would really succumb to cancer and the time is ticking away.

My only hope for this friend of mine now is that, all his suffering and torment will be wiped out as soon as they surfaced, and his life on earth would end quickly, and that's the real relief.

P/S, to my friend Blackie, adios
