Come and Gone

I haven't been updating this blog for quite some time now. Not that there's nothing to write. In fact, so many things has happened to our country, our world that is beyond my own comprehension.

Probably the saddest news in recent times is not Michael Jackson's demise, but Yasmin Ahmad. I haven't watched her movies before but I loved her commercials. She touched Malaysians with her Petronas ads and I am so sad she's now gone.

May you rest in peace.

Full of exotic animals....and meat

Check this out on The Star. Looks like we are in the spotlight again... for the wrong reasons!

Malaysia now a global hub ... for wildlife smuggling!

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is ranked among the top 10 illegal wildlife smuggling hubs in the world, specialising in transporting pangolins, birds and clouded monitor lizards.

The wildlife is smuggled out of the country via air through the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Penang International Airport, and via sea through Johor, said South-East Asia regional director of wildlife trade monitoring network Traffic, Azrina Abdullah.

She said Malaysia is a transit and harvest hub for the illegal wildlife trade.

“We are among the top 10 smuggling hubs together with Manila (the Philippines), Medan (Indonesia), Singapore and the United States.

"Hanoi (Vietnam) is also catching up,” she said after attending a lecture by Bryan Christy, the author of The Lizard King: The True Crimes and Passion of the World’s Greatest Reptile Smugglers at the Academy of Sciences Malaysia on Tuesday.

Our wildlife....exploited!!!

Sigh.

Gay Dad

Something's not quite right here.

I'm still trying to figure out how one person can be a homosexual and still be a dad. It's it lesbians, perhaps it could still make sense because biologically a woman can give birth. But a couple who are men?

I guess some questions will always be left unanswered.

We're Screwed!

That's it!

When we are hoping things will become better after the election, our country is now hit be sodomy charges, resurrected murder cases, some so-called submarine deal, higher fuel cost, higher crime rate, higher inflation rate, low confidence in the government, lots of back-stabbing, denial and sleeping around!

Just the perfect recipe for another soap opera.

Takers, anyone?

Illiterate or Ignorant?

I'm so pissed off today!

Was queuing up at at the express lane in one of the Hypermarts around town. It stated there the queue is meant for '10 items or less'.

In front of me was a middle-age fellow with a cart that had clearly more than 10 items! I think he had around 15 packs of cat food among other items. When the cashier told him it's more than 10 items, he just acted ignorant or perhaps didn't understand what '10 items' mean. He claimed that the cat food was all the same!

So 15 packets of the same cat food = 1 item?

That's ridiculous!

I'm also peeved that the cashier actually let him go away by checking out his items! I know he hesitated but so disappointed he still check out the items anyway.

Boo to the ugly Malaysians!

Malaysian Roads

There are many interesting sights and sounds while driving in Malaysia, so much so it is like a movie.

Mystery - You have many accidents which make passerby stop, stare and scratch their heads how did it happen.


Foreign Language - You have those who do not know how to read road signs.



Action - Then there's the 'masuk longkang' cases, which seems to be very common in Malaysia.


Horror - Don't be surprised if you see vehicles on fire.



Comedy - Last but not least, if you need a good laugh, just check out the things the cars carry around.

Boy or Girl?

My condolences to the 11 year old victim who was killed in a bus crash along Kuala Terengganu-Kota Baru road yesterday.

However, I wished the press will make up their mind on the gender of the victim.
