Mooncake festival: if you going to Hong Kong…

Remember to order these.

So what if the Singapore’s table tennis team get the Olympic gold?

The possibility of Singapore’s table tennis team getting a gold is so great that the PM has decided to postponed the telecast of the English version of the Natonal Day Rally speech.  The first thing that went through my head was, what the hell?!?

Let’s put things intoo perspective.  The National Day Rally is the most important speech of the year.  But that has to make way for the POSSIBILITY of ACQUIRING an Olympic gold.  Note that I’m not using the word WINNING.  That is simply because, if the team did beat the China’s team, that piece of precious metal and the title would have been considered BOUGHT OVER.  We can’t ignore the fact that the team is made up of China-born athletes bought over, and being ‘offered’ Singapore citizenship.

What would have been a truly great WIN is, a true blue born-in-Singapore or who have lived in Singapore for at least 10 years or more winning the gold medal, in whatever sport.  What’s the difference?

The medal and the title should reflect who the sportsperson is, and vice versa.  The medal should reflect the country’s way of life is a winning one.  The country’s way of life should reflect the nuture and nature of bringing up and treasuring a champion among society.  The medal should reflect the country’s constant and perseverence in supporting the glory of sporting spirit.  A few days back, I saw an article in the local newspaper on why India, being an emerging nation scores so low at the Olympic.  India does not place importance on that, but if they do, they would have build international standard stadiums, encourage sports among its people, and provide good financial support.  Till that happen, India won’t be able to win an Olympic gold medal.  OR, take the easy route like what Singapore did; ‘import’ gold medal winners, or at least potential winners and make them citizen.

So what if the Singapore’s table tennis emerge no. 1?  It’s just business.  It’s just investment.  Just like any other business and investment, some work, some don’t, some are fruitful, some are bad decision.  In this case, it’s a calculated good investment.  Let’s just forget about patriotism, let’s just forget about being a ‘quitter’ or not, let’s just forget about the sense of belonging… let’s just watch the game, and think, what a good investment the government has made.  Go Singapore!

That old fart…

It’s this asshole again lor..

That ’super’ ‘righteous’ old fart just got into office…

It’s 9:41 lor…

And how dare he tell me that I’m constantly late.  He even dare to say it to my face about 2 months back, and I found out that he also went and asked my other colleague what time I start work.

Luckily, that colleague is on neutral ground, and said some ppl start work at 8, some at 8.30, some at 9, some at 9.30… There’s no fixed time.  And she also said that sometimes, I stayed on even after she herself has left, which is normally around 7pm.

That silly old fart… he’s the type with the old mindset that one has to come to work on the dot, then he would leave for lunch on the dot, then he’ll leave for work on the dot…
You know what, that old fart sometimes don’t come back from lunch on the dot.  And that old fart leave work about 1/2 an hour earlier, like yesterday.
This kind of person is the kind you have to look out for.  For me, I don’t care, just as long as I don’t have to talk to him, or work with him.  Besides, his work is crap, no one in the company knows what he’s doing.  And whenever he gives and update, everyone knows he has no substance to show.  Try to hide this and that and create some kind of mysterious enigma, by using profound analogy.  Please lar! I’m not impressed by all that mambo jumbo…

And he’s the senior manager summore… Yup, you guess it right too, I’m in the public service sector.  And you’ll find that kind of people.  And yup, I curse him everyday.  He’s fat with a balloon belly ready to give birth, he’s ugly, he talks with foul air, he smiles like a hamsup uncle, he’s a despise, he’s a bigot with a bitterguord up his ass.

Afternoon tea

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A WORK OF FICTION INSPIRED BY WHAT HAS HAPPENED.  THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IS HATCHED FROM THE PURE CREATIVE MIND.  ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL EVENTS, PLACES OR PERSONS IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.

Sipping his tea on the rain-approaching late afternoon, A1 remarked after hearing the news, “Bloggers are just opportunist some times.  They just jumped into writing all kinds when they know just a little piece of information.”

“But he has gone to the police this time round,” said a stammering N1.

“All the better.” A1 looked into the distance, trying to predict when the rain will arrive.  “I bet, what he told the police is what we already knew.  Speaking of which, my good news have arrived.  A2, tell me you have that for me.”

A2 had just stepped into the verandah.  “I still don’t like the plan.”  A2 took a seat across A1 and poured himself a cup of tea.  “How could I be the leader with a tarnished name?”

“Again, I must say, that position is up to you two to fight it over.  I’m just the transient.  And now, you two are on equal ground.”

“Thanks alot,” N2 sarcastic remark was followed by eye-rolling from A2.

“You two mustn’t forget, how you got to where you are.”

“Things could have been much simpler.” A2 took a cracker. “I could have been in your position by now.”

“Arrr… Then things wouldn’t have been so interesting, would it?  in any case, this golden seat is up for grab again.”  N2 thought, and why wouldn’t A1 want to remain in that seat if he regarded it as golden?  A1 continued, “I have never wanted this seat.  I rather be in the background.  And taking things easy, and be able to sip tea every day at 3pm.  But you, A2, my love, took the wrong step 10 years ago.  For that mistake, you have bring upon yourself the competition with our dear friend here.”

“I still can’t believe it that M1 would put me in that spotlight back then.  And you still refused to tell me how you deflected and not involved in the case.”

A1 wisely said, “I have my ways, I have my ways.”

N2 said, “And your ways are costing us alot of money.  That PI’s demand for 5 star hotel at Timbuktu with his families is hurting my bank account.”

A2 agreed.  “And hiding that employee of mine is not an easy task too.”

A1 smiled.  “And you two are on even ground now.  A2, when you came to me about your ambition of taking over from M1, I’ve told you to be careful.  And you’ve paid your dues.  And when you tried to go behind my back, this is your due.  Luckily I love you, else you would have been gone.  And N2, don’t you for a second think that I don’t know what you’d in mind, and what happened to the model, that’s your due.”

A2 and A2 grinned.  “So what’s next?”

A1 continued, “When my name is cleared, yours will too.  It’s unfortunate that I have to play the demure card.  The people will not like me, but they won’t dislike me too at the end of the day.  And I can continue on having my afternoon tea.”

“With M1 continue on talking to the press, you won’t have your peace.”

“M1 is just an old hag, bitter over how his plan didn’t turn out the way he wanted.  He realized his mistake back then far too late when he handed over this golden seat to me.  And now, he simply bitter that he’s not invited to tea.  He can say all he wants, he’s never our problem to begin with.”

A2 leaned over and gave A1 a kiss.  N2 disgusted.  “You two should get a room.”

“Snap out of it.  We are in the modern century.  Accept us as who we are.” A2 sticked out his tongue to N2.

“Just let the people talked.  They love all these sensational news, “A1 continued talking.  “And when the time is right, I’ll let the police know that everything would be okay.”

“And when’s that?” A2 and N2 asked in unison.

“After I’ve dealt with K1.  And we’ll be back on our original plan: A2 being PM, N2 being president of this party I long have detached myself.”

And the rain begins to pour.

Abdullah confirm quitting?

From news reported internationally, it seems like it…

Malaysian PM says struck succession agreement with deputy
Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, facing calls to quit after disastrous election results, said Friday he had agreed a plan to hand power to his deputy, the state news agency reported.

Malaysia’s embattled PM confirms will step down
KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia’s embattled Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi confirmed on Friday he would step down, just three months after winning office, ending a leadership crisis sparked by the coalition’s worst ever election result

Personally, I don’t want him to quit.  I want him to address the issues at hand.
Quitting is just avoiding the situation.  He mentioned he wanted to stamp out corruption.  Where’s the result?  Rakyat has already voiced out what needs to be done; show us Petronas’ account, slash Government unnecessary expenditure, adopt open tender, answer all the scandals and work-went-wrong issues, etc.
Is it that the history is so way back, the baggage is too huge?  Or is the political chess game too complicated and complex, and the rope is too tangled up?  If the current government cannot undo its previous wrong-doing to rakyat, then the entire parliament sure needs a good wash inside out.

The other reason is, as much as I would want Najib to be PM (I have my reasons…. LOL), but I don’t really want to see Mahathir return back to UMNO or the government (if that would ever happen).  Of course, unless Najib dare to say no.  Mahathir has seen his days of glory in the political scene.  The time for him to step down has way passed, and thus should just leave it as that.  he has done enough for the country, and he does not need to leave any more marks in Malaysia political scene.

All I can say is, interesting time for Malaysia…

 

Rakyat’s voice

I just love this post.

http://bongkersz.com/2008/06/13/what-is-never-mentioned-in-mainstream-media/

It basically shows that rakyat are not as stupid as what the government thinks of or wants to be.  Rakyat are knowledgable, well-informed, but remained quiet, until now.

The mainstream newspapers have already been the past, so whatever information in the mainstream papers, rakyat know how to read them, to read between the lines, to read with pinches of salt.

Rakyat are responding and won’t sit quiet until rakyat get the deserved sound answers.  Divert rakyat’s attention all you want, but remember this… people will still remember this 41% hike.

p.s. In Cantonese, 41 means ‘doomsday’.  Does that mean doomsday to the current government?

Post hike, now the ripple

And what?! You expect rakyat to believe the government now?  You could just broadcast later during the evening news, that the next day, new higher prices for essential commodities would take effect with immediate effect.  Orr pa lat lo!!!

From The Star:

Friday June 6, 2008 MYT 7:04:00 PM

Sarawakians flock to buy cooking oil after rumour

By STEPHEN THEN

MIRI: There was panic buying of cooking oil in northern Sarawak Friday following rumours that the price of this essential commodity would increase by up to 50% on Saturday.

The cooking oil rush was seen in all supermarkets and retail outlets starting at 5pm Friday, just after office hours.

The rumour is believed to have been circulated via SMS on Friday.

Just two days ago, the rush for petrol and diesel fuel caused massive panic buying just hours before the hike on Wednesday night.

However, the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities warned that there has been no official approval for any price increase for 1kg, 3kg and 5kg of cooking oil.

”The Government has not approved any increase for these three categories. Whoever raises the prices would have committed an offence.

”The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) had not approved any increase. The price is controlled by the MPOB for these three categories,” said minister Datuk Peter Chin Fah kui via his political secretary Sebastian Ting.

RM2.70 now

Overnight, the hornet’s nest was stirred kau kau.

Let’s put it this way:
When the price went up to RM1.92, we Malaysians were complaining.  But we generally still accept that as bearable.  We took that down, a little bitter, but ok… it’s fine.

05 June 2008.  The govt decided to smack us all with a 41% increase of oil price.  We can’t sit still now.  We are angry.  Overnight, the price went up, and overnight, we have all become mob.

And we are not requesting or asking or merely putting the question on the table, we are demanding answers now:

1) We should compare ourselves with other oil-producing countries.  Even without this latest fuel hike, fuel for domestic consumption in Malaysia is one of the highest.  Furthermore, we are net exporter.  Where are all the $$ from oil-exporting, given the high price now?  We demand for Petronas accounts. 

2) Ok, you want to compare to countries in the region.  Let’s just take a look at Singapore.  The price in Singapore is SGD2.16.  The price in Malaysia is now RM2.70.  Dollar-to-dollar, the average Malaysian Joe who earns 2k would pay at least 50cent more for petrol.  Let’s look at the vehicle now.  In Malaysia, a Toyota Altis would cost RM110k, there about (yes? no?), and in Singapore SGD65k.  Everything else being equal (both countries pay for parking, pay for toll, pay for road tax, and so on.), will car price in Malaysia drop?  And please, do not use any Proton car for comparison with any other car brand.  It’s like comparing taugeh and strawberry…

3) And why Independent Power Producers (IPP) are spared?  The government had PPA, contractually binded?  Well, a promise was made to the rakyat, that no fuel hike until Aug 08.  That’s also a contract.  I’m sure that was reported somewhere in the papers or news.

What could have been, is this:

1) No subsidy for foreign cars.  Petrol subsidy should be reserved for rakyat Malaysia who has Malaysian plated car only.

2) Subsidy cut for big and expensive car owners.  Those who can afford SUVs and luxury cars are able to pay for oil at ‘international market rate’.  If not, don’t buy big cars.

3) IPPs should not be spared.  Period.

BN, losing so many seats at the last election should have served as a wake up call that the rakyat knows what you guys have done, what you guys are doing, or not doing, and that is serving the rakyat well and fair.  And the rakyat is saying: Stop all that.  Stop all those corruption, stop burning rakyat’s money, stop all the nonsense; start making rakyat’s lives better.  But you were voted back into power this time round, because you were given a second chance, and there isn’t gonna be a second chance the next time round.

BN, do come clean with this latest petrol price hike.  Be honest and lay down the TRUE facts.

As for me, I had enough.  The last election, I did not vote as I was oversea.  But for the next election, I know who I’m going to vote for now…  But still, BN, do come clean with this latest petrol price hike.  Be honest and lay down the TRUE facts.  I would want to think that the rest of the rakyat Malaysia would STILL want to give you a second chance for the next election.

What is your wildest sex-acape?

I’m in a mood of listening to what you guys have to say…

My wildest to date is… actually, there are a few, coz they are all different, and they are all great sex…

1) I had sex on an open car park, in broad day light, where I can see the rest of the office buildings are filled with people.  We fucked in the car, and later got out of the car and did it in the open.  We didn’t get caught.

2) It was late at night and we went to the university, and we had sex in the middle of the field.  We then walked back, topless, and we were walking behind this girl (whom I believe was heading towards some place for supper).  Luckily she didnt turn over, else she would have seen a pair of headlights and a tent…

3) We did it at a stair of a hotel.  Nope, we didn’t have a room.  We were having dinner at the hotel restaurant, and we decided to go up to the hotel, hopefully can have a view of the city, and we ended up having sex.

What I’m hoping is:

1) Have sex on the plane

2) Have sex on the beach in broad daylight

3) Suggestions?

Now, your turn to share… :p

Idiot Senior Manager

Wah kao… This asshole SManager, shouted out my ENGLISH name, asking who is that.  Of course I owned up la.

And he asked me if that’s my nickname.  To my best knowledge, I don’t consider my ang mo name a ‘nickname’.  That DOM(that’s a nickname) FATSO (That’s a nickname too) asked me if it appears on my IC or birth cert.  I said ‘no’, so he said, that’s a nickname la.  That NINCOMPOOP (another nickname) PECKER (yet another nickname) continued jabbing on the fact that if it’s not on my IC, it’s a nickname.

Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickname

As far as I understand, no one really introduce themselves using nicknames.

“Hi! I’m Fatso.”

Even if so, people would at least say their names first.

“Hi! I’m Lee Ah Kow.  Everyone here call me Fatso.  But don’t you dare!”

Now…. Consider this:

“Hi! I’m Andy Lau Tak Wah”.  That is his name, or rather, his STAGE NAME. (To those dunno, his real name is Lau Fok Wing.)

Then he asked if that is my ALIAS.  To cut the crap ocnversation short, I just say ‘yes’.  Then he continued on saying Alias is also nickname.  WTF WTF WTF.  Hello?!!  Some ppl’s alias appear on IC ok?!

Idiot.  What?  think got the word SENIOR in front of your MANAGER title means you are right, everyone below you is wrong?  What civil minded SCHMUCKY (another nickname) DICKHEAD (and yet another appropriate one) this person is!  No wonder most people here don’t talk to that NITWIT(yup, that’s what he is).  Luckily I don’t have to interact with that DINGER-DONG-DONG (his balls must be sounding like that) that much as I am not under his ASSHOLIC ASS (don’t ask me, I don’t know how his ass smells like).

IDIOT…

p.s. Yup, small matter, but it’s one of those thing that can really make you feel really irritated.

Moving on

Besides moving on to the next job, I’m moving house too.  Just broadcasting… That’s all.

Not blogging for the moment

Long story cut short:

1) I’ve quit my job

2) I’m still going to office to do some handing over.  WTF

3) I’m not blogging at the moment as I need a burst in writing some other stuff.

Wanna see something gross?

Don’t say I didn’t warn…

I QUIT!!!

Yup! I finally did it today.

The timing could not been better, though last Friday would be ideal.

I’ve gotten my AWS.  And by the time I serve my one-month notice, it would be time for CNY.

I wonder how this remaining one month would be…  Hopefully things end good with my current company.
