minyak sekarang mahal

kerajaan sudah beri kata putus- minyak petrol akan naik 30 sen seliter. Fuiyoh… sekarang ini, RM1.92 per liter. Mahal kot!

Apa boleh buat? Kerajaan mau kurangkan subsidi, mungkin untuk membolehkan MAS beli lebih manyak lukisan-lukisan untuk dinding pejabat.

Mari kita sembang-sembang tentang subsidi. Subsidi membolehkan kos barang-barangan rendah. Ini ada baik dan buruknya. Ya, barangan kita boleh dijualbeli murah, tetapi di-komper dengan negara lain, barangan kita terlalu murah di pasaran. Dengan sebab itu, orang asing mengambil kesempatan untuk membina kilang. Ini baik, kerana lebih pekerjaan. Itu jugak buruk, kerana buruh kita murah dan kita tak dapat menuntut salary tinggi. Apatah lagi, orang Singapura sebagai contoh, mengambil kesempatan subsidi ini, dan datang ke Johor untuk mengepam kereta mereka. Boleh saya syorkan, subsidi hanya untuk kereta tempatan?

Tapi, bila subsidi ditarik perlahan-lahan, kita orang punya gaji tak naik-naik, tapi barangan bertambah mahal setiap tahun. Ini tidak betul. Tapi apa boleh buat?

Jadi, apa patut kerajaan buat? Subsidi susah mau kawal. Jadi, kerajaan patut pertimbangkan penolakan cukai untuk pemilik kenderaan tempatan. Ini boleh ‘eliminate’ oportunis di kalangan orang asing. Itu mungkin satu cara untuk membolehkan rakyat tempatan menikmati subsidi.

sorry but

this is just sick….

i mean, wtf man!

Sex Scandal

so it’s just a video. no big deal.

i’m sure alot of guys have watch better and good quality porns before.

but what makes this so intriguing is the story behind how the clip got on to the internet. fuiyoh! it’s really the case when the enemy has the last laugh.

if i’m tammy, i would be happy and sad at the same time. sad because of my family and school. but heck about school. i might as well try to be a porn star! maybe an internet type, where i offer reallllll sex by the girl-next-door. i would think that there’s a market for this you know…

and i’ll work hard and make a lot of money and eventually, my family will just have to accept the person i am- internet porn super star!

anyway ar… besides the story behind the clips, it is also the fact that it’s the idea of REAL kinky sex between 2 real couples. Porns are basically acting, but something this reallllll, and especially by ‘near local’ or local students, it makes it even more fascinating.

anyway, yea lar, she’s a poor girl lar… but what i can say is just, well, move on, and let it be a lesson learnt. nevertheless, if u can take the consequences, go ahead and make video clip part 2, maybe a threesome perhaps?

DYK: i carry a condom in my wallet now…yeah!

shopping in singapore

one thing i like about singapore is shopping.

things here, in my opinion is considerably cheap when there are sales. And the sales here are genuine.

For example, I bought a good Esprit tee with 30% discount.
In Malaysia, I find myself looking at bargain which quality and fashion trend declines with the increase of the discount. If a branded clothing have 50% discount, chances are, it does not have the size, or that the cutting is out, or the design is truly lousy, or that the material is bad or takes much effort to care.

Personally, I still think Malaysia has a long way to go before outtaking Singapore as a shopping paradise of this region.

DYK: I like to swim, though I used to have water-phobia in my childhood days

work matters

recently, i was involved in a project whereby the person in-charge is not in control of the situation.

mind you, i don’t blame anyone for this project going haywire.

for your information, I am to help out with the person in-charge with the documentation and subsequently, the full production stage, where I’ll lead a team to develop the prototype and the whole product.

the client has been pretty much pain-in-the-ass, with requirements changed at the very last minutes. fine, that’s what’s expected of the client, as this is pretty much the first time they are embarking on developing this product themselves.

the person in-charge, yes, he wasn’t in control and i think it’s pretty much because he’s green and he doesn’t know the how-to.

so in the end, we ended with a super duper assholic mutherfuckingly full-of-nonsense holy-smokingful deadlines with i know, my production team will bitch about.

and finally, i was tasked to work on the schedule.

ok…. the whole scenario above is bad. but what i really hate most is this: office politic.

forget about the client’s fault on being damn indecisive… let’s look at the internal situation.

the deadlines are damn tight now, and still, i see people putting up some ass-protecting shield. shit that!

this is the truth: i don’t care about office politics, i don’t care about reasons. i don’t care about explanation. i care about delivery. can we deliver on time, based on the mutherfucking schedule. i have no time and energy to ponder over what went wrong, what ought to be done, and all sorts of lamenting. i wanna find out, whether or not the feasibility is there to complete this project.

but still, some people go around, wasting my time, trying to explain what went wrong, what should be the case. FUCK YOU!

The person in-charge try to put a brave upfront but heck! if I were to tear it apart, that fella will go back crying. The immediate supervisor of the fella in-charge is trying to explain the situation, shit that! I don’t have the time to listen as I’m trying to come up with remedy. Then there are the specialist of the subject, trying to salvage their ideas which were torn apart by the client. I say, go to hell! Work harder to understand what the clients want and come up with something the client will be please, and not something you simply think will be good. Know this: what you think is good, doesn’t necessary mean the client is think is good. You think you know all ar? Go jump off the bridge lar! If you doesn’t have an open mind for suggestion from client, you’ll just be re-doing your part of coming up with requirements and prototypes, and in the ned, the development team will suffer as your part will take longer time than allocated.

So, all in all, I’m in a assholic situation, where I will make some people unhappy, in order to make it for the deadlines. I’m not going to make the production team unhappy, as I’ll be working with them directly to produce the product, so, the prototype people, you are in deep shit… I’m going to work you like mad now.

Anticipate that!

valentine’s day in singapore

i was walking around in singapore at night during valentine’s day.

and yes, i was alone, walking along Orchard Road.

yes, it’s sad.

but i saw was equally sad.

call me a sore loser or whatever, i don’t care. but this is what i got to say:

i saw couples, and couples and couples.

firstly: the guy and the girl couple.
some of them, they just look plain tired. with one of them holding the rose, a bunch or a stalk, dragging themselves on the walkway. apparently, they must had had a rushed through expensive valentine’s dinner at some posh hotel/ restaurants. or that they had a simple meal at one of the crowded fast food restaurant and they just finished some crappy movie at crowded cinema. worst, the unfortunate ones who did not make reservation, and could not decide on what to end, and while walking on the street, the guy decided to buy the girl a flower from one of those vendors on the street, and before they both knew it, they simply grew tired of the day and just strolling around. whatever it was, they just look damn tired.

then, there were those lovey dovey ones. and they were all dressed to the nine. chances were, the guy had splashed hundreds if not thousands for that day to make the girl all happy. in other words, happiness belong to the rich ones on this day. i saw a couple who were so damn lovely towards each other. then i saw the car the guy, who doesn’t even look like he’s over puberty, drove- a BMW. then, i saw another couple; they were all dressed up all expensive- i supposed they were pretty rich. then, while taking the bus back, i saw another lovey dovey couple and i thought, i could be proven wrong here. and then, i saw the couple alighted at Sixth Avenue (basically a place where some of the rich people stay).

then, there were another type of couple: two girls.

nope, they didn’t look very lesbo to me, rather, they looked like two single girls who did not want to spend Valentine’s Day alone at home. And when two girls had the same idea, they decided to go out. these girls, truth is, i don’t know what they did actually. did they go around picking at couples, commenting on what they wear, buying each other roses… whatever.

and the guy-guy couple… well, i didn’t see any.

and there are the group dates. these were the ones that were nervous and try to be cool about it. they were the ones who didn’t know what to do when alone with their partners, so they called their friends along. and they had group dates. group dates are fun; they laughed, they took photographs together, they jumped around, and so on. it’s simply not personal, and they just wanna make sure that that day went well. it’s a safe bet.

then there was this combination: a group of girls. this is an extension of two girls. and this is even sadder. and they tried to cheer themselves up by being bitchy and heck care about the rest of the world. they laughed loud, they became inconsiderate. they just heck care… bitches in a group, what can be worse?

well, a boy-girl couple, and a LIGHTBULB!
that’s just the worst combo ever. oh come on!!!! being a bulb during valentine’s day? whatever reason it was, it’s just a pure pure loser being a BULB.

it’s so sad. i was sad. and what i saw, it was sad as well. i didn’t feel love, i didn’t see love.

i shall drown myself in alcohol.

bitter pill

how many times, have you been told, or experience this:
you have taken your sugar, now you have to take your medicine?

ppl make new friends now and again. the first few contacts, it’s pretty fun. you find out what interest both of u share. both invite each other to outings, movies, dinner, lunch, shopping…- hanging out is damn fun.
and which that, you both got closer.

and then, both begin to see the ‘bad sides’. it’s fine actually, because no one is changing anyone else, but still, advice is offered:
“oh! you shouldn’t bite your fingernails.”
“maybe you wanna join a gym?”
“why don’t you consider looking for another job if you keep complaining about your current one?”
“you shouldn’t smoke that much”
“you shouldn’t drink that much if you are vomitting blood”

and that’s when, the relationship turn sour. the one being offered the advice would think that his/her friend is being kaypoh. yes, that friend is kaypoh, but that friend is just voicing out concerns. friends concern each other.

the one being offered advice, would sometimes think: I don’t need another mother in my life.

and thus… the two began to drift apart.

YOU!
who are you?

are you often getting advise from friends? and choose to ignore that advice and choose to distant yourself from that friend?
or are you the one who offer advice? and realized your friend is ignoring you? and you feel alone?

so this is a lesson:
NEVER OFFER ADVICE

to remain friends and improve on your friendship, never offer advise that’s deem to wanna change some kind of traits…
to remain friends and improve on your friendship, support one another though it’s …. meaningless. take for example:

A: i hate my job. i hate it, i hate it
B: why don’t you consider looking for another job if you keep complaining about your current one?
WRONG!!!!! B shouldn’t say that. B should say:
B: your boss is really teruk, go tiu him habis habis

A: My girlfriend….shit, she damn ma fan.
B: How come?
A: Aiyahhh… Shit her lar. Got lar. I smoke so much also because of her, she make me stress, i smoke to de-stress. Chilakak
B: You know, you shouldn’t smoke that much
WRONG!!!!! B shouldn’t say that. B should say:
B: Your gf is damn teruk lar. Wah kau. Should just dump her
WRONG!!!!! B shouldn’t say that. B should say:
B: Your gf is damn teruk lar. Wah kau. Girl damn ma fan.

ok, enough examples.
anyway, MY ADVICE IS:

don’t offer your friend the bitter pill. They’ll DIE DIE DIE.
Bitter pill can only be offer to friends that are more than 10 years. Yup! Sup nin, sepuluh tahun… and that also with risk wan ok?

damnit

geisha and me

previously, i mentioned about watching memoirs of a geisha with a group of people. well, it did happen, and it’s pretty much exactly how I expected the companionship to be.

it’s a lonely feeling, no doubt.

but why did i ever initiate it, and actually go along with it. simple- i just want to watch the movie.

the movie is pretty good. though it’s pretty ‘hollywood’, but overall, i enjoyed it.

as for the company, i don’t quite remember what we ate before the movie, where we went for the movie, and so on (after typing, it came back to me…)

so there, the movie first, the company second.

i hope no movie comes around in that fashion again- having to ask people to go along just for courtesy sake.

anyway.
in a few days time, i’ll be celebrating my birthday.

i suppose this year will be sad birthday. i miss my good old pals and family. i miss them more, knowing that the ppl surrounding me right now, are well…. prima facie ( not as an appropriate term, but well, it somewhat conveys what i have in mind). it’s just that. face front. take it as it is.

back to my birthday.
i’m feeling so mellow, that i’ll be gone a few days. maybe i’ll blog, maybe i won’t. CNY’s break is long, but not long enough.

DYK: Oh yea! I love movies…. every kind

My zodiac

Nope, I’m not a bull; I’m a water bearer:

Taken from here~~~

Aquarian Traits:
Friendly and humanitarian (I’m slowly striking these out.)
Honest and loyal (Yes, I know I am)
Original and inventive (Sometimes I am)
Independent and intellectual (Independent, yes. Intellectual, some people think so, but not I)

On the dark side….
Intractable and contrary (Yes, me guilty of these)
Perverse and unpredictable (And these too)
Unemotional and detached (I’m longing for these traits…)

“Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity.”

I have both actually. I contracdict myself too much sometimes, so much so that I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d argued with my own self before…

“They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker exhortation to “Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes,” and are prepared to learn from everyone.”
Oh yeah! I believe in being in the middle. Rather, I prefer to be spectator. Take for example, if two fella is arguing, I rather watch and be entertained. If I have to intervene, I’ll slap both of the first, and then listen to their explanation, for I know, in an argument, in the first place, both are always wrong to start the fight.

“Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor.”
Yea yea yea~~ that’s me… But alot of people can’t take my frankness in real person hor…

“They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. “
And many don’t listen to me hor…

“Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive, so that the Age of Aquarius, which is about to begin, is much anticipated by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience a great spiritual awakening.”
Hahaha… yea right! Cheers to that!

“Both types need to retire from the world at times and to become temporary loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation or, if they are religious, of retreats.”
So so true… I enjoy companionship, but at the same time, I appreciate my time alone…masturbating perhaps?

“Normally they have good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially drama.”
Hmm, I’ve done something related to drama, and I’m proud of it.

“They do not give themselves easily - perhaps their judgment of human nature is too good for that - and are sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide that someone is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice everything for their partners and be faithful to them for life.”
This is pretty true. So pardon me for being cold here, for that’s my nature
“However, they are sometimes disappointed emotionally because their own high personal ideals cause them to demand more of others than is reasonable. And if they are deceived their anger is terrible. If disillusioned, they do not forgive.”
And this is why I rant and rant here.

“Aquarians work best in group projects, provided that they are recognized as having a leading part in them.”
Truth is, I’m pretty lazy to lead nowadays…

“Among the faults to which they are liable are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely dogmatic in their opinions. Aquarians can be a threat to all they survey or a great boon for humanity in general. Circumstances - for example, continuous opposition to a cause they hold dear - may cause the atrophy of the openness of mind that is one of the Aquarian’s most attractive traits. They may express a lack of integrity in broken promises, secretiveness or cunning. Simmering anger and resentment, rudeness or, worse, a tense, threatening silence which may suddenly burst out in eruptions of extreme temper, these are all part of the negative side of the Aquarian. This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind.”
All that written, is basically saying that, Aquarians are evil (it’s written in a almost apologetic nice way… )Yes, I admit, I’m evil. I’m as evil as I can be. But I know, there are somethings I won’t do, like rape, gang-fight, kill a puppy, rob a bank, back-stab, burn down a house, burn down a zoo, poison someone to death, throw a baby out of the window, strangle a baby, drive dangerously and the list goes on…

So there you have it.

DYK: If you don’t know by now, I’m an AQUARIAN, asshole…

MIA for CNY

for about 1 week, I went MIA. I got off the internet and went to a place I shall call Paradise (maybe I’ll post a picture…maybe later). It was great and relaxing, and needless to say, I drank, but I did not get drunk. This is one of the few rare occasions when it didn’t really matter to get super intoxicated.

Some of my friends were telling me, how dreadful it will be to go back to work on Monday after the week-long break. As for me personally, I’ve no comment; I’m neither happy or sad to go back to work. I know I won’t be dragging my feet.

DYK: After discussions and arguments, my mom still treats me as a kid.
