I am back to Melaka, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the mothers in the world a very Happy Mother's Day. Shall be bringing mom out for a good fun tomorrow,
However, in this lovely weekend, something is really disturbing my mind now. The cyclone that hit Myanmar. I saw over CNN some footages reported and for the fact that Myanmar is somehow a communist country ruled by the Junta, the aid flowing in Myanmar had been not so overwhelming. I hope we Malaysians can make a difference. Channel your fund support here.
See you peeps next week, remember to donate ya. Cheers!
Another NS trainee died. I am lucky as there was no such camp during my teen years. But I am worried for others and perhaps my children. Since introduced in 2004, total deaths involving NS camp is 16 deaths, that makes it like averagely 4 deaths a year. Why burden the rakyat with such a worry? When will this crap NS thingy be scrapped off?
The news here.
Can someone tell me good news in Malaysia to brighten me a bit? Had enough of shits about this country!
A friend who is also a fellow reader of my blog asked, "Mike, why are you so upset when RPK got arrested as it is none of your business? You had a career, a decent life, why care risking yourself with this post?"
Here's my reply to you. If it is not your flesh that is being cut, you will never feel the pain. You choose to be ignorant but not me. When I read Marina's (RPK's wife) post here, I felt her pain, I felt the tormenting time she is going through as a wife and a mother. We have the power and right to speak out our opinion, my parents gave me higher level of education not only just to earn a decent living in some MNCs but my parents also taught me the basic principle of life. My parents also taught me how to distinguish between what's logic and what's insanity.
On 8th of March, we had shown them the sign, the political tsunami, the voice of the rakyat. Read the wiki definition of Sedition Act (Malaysia) 1948 and using this, the barisan najis think they can f**king (I censored as I know my top management read my blog now) shut the bloggers up and cripple the Malaysiakini operation. Sorry to say, I blog & voice my opinion without fear and this whole saga had indeed upset the whole blogosphere. We indeed had enough of lies & sweet promises from the sleeping log. Arresting RPK alone will not do any help, there are hundreds of other political bloggers out there (although not as insprational as RPK) will definitely stand behind him and we will continue to voice our unhappiness here, this is my own space, we have the exclusivity here. The only law you can do against us will be the Sedition Act 1948.
Am I seditious here?
Well... my hero opts for jail to prove a point, I am here too for a better nation, better law & right and a better future.
PEACE!
I was at Sri Damansara McD about a while ago, talking about this great man, Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK), with my bunch of best buddies. I told them how he had triggered my senses to what is actually happening in this poor country. A country who lauded "Malaysia Boleh", I am asking "Boleh Apa?"
BOLEH tangkap orang sesuka hati?
BOLEH cakap tapi tak serupa bikin? (remember how Pak Lah pusing about his many statements to the public?)
BOLEH angkat keris and then say sorry?
BOLEH makan rasuah tapi tak boleh makan babi?
BOLEH? My Foot-lah!!!
This great man was taken away, charged under the Sedition Act 1948, blardy 60 years old law. What fcuk pig-sense here? He refused to post bail and now is being arrested. Backed up by 7 lawyers, 4 of them who are the Members of the Parliament. Latest I know, one ringgit one person campaign was launched to bail RPK out, within hours, the fund exceeded good enough to bail my hero out for another 5 times or so.
Read this 'made sense' post by politikus, you decide whether the government is insulting the rakyat's intelligence or not. Check out the article "Let's Send The Altantuya Murderers To Hell" by RPK.
This man will walk as a tall Malay. We are with you Pete!
Sorry for the long delayed of my Hong Kong trip pictures. While posting this, I am actually already planning on my 2nd trip there end of this year, hopefully with my other half *cross finger that things will b positive*
Looking at the transportation system sometimes in other country really amazed me. In Malaysia, I do not bother to travel on Putra or Star LRT or our Rapid KL or Intrakota whatsoever. It seems like what these operators in Malaysia have narrow vision & all they care is profit only.
In other country I had traveled, the system is so well organized and coordinated. In other countries, even if you are tourist, you hardly being conned like you will be in Malaysia. Public transport in Hong Kong is so convenient that made car not a necessity there. As long as you are equipped with your Octopus card, you can travel anywhere via MTR, bus, taxi or tram.
I went to Kowloon from Tung Chung, as Tung Chung is in Lantau Island, it is not part of Hong Kong mainland. Tung Chung is where they housed the Disneyland and the International Airport. Traveling to Kowloon via Tung Chung MTR line is so convenient and it cost about HKD$16 and takes about 20 minutes or so to reach the Kowloon station. Upon reaching the station, I took the public bus that cost about HKD$5 or so to go to the Kowloon Central. Though I am a banana (yellow outside, white inside - meaning dunno how to read & write in Chinese lar), the signages are pretty helpful and informative. Trust me, you will never get lost there.
Walking around the narrow street of Hong Kong's uptown & downtown, you will see a lot of big sign boards hanging and dangling. Street is pretty clean and people do not simply smoke anywhere as they like.
For most of my travel experience in other Asian countries, I always make it a point to go for local food, instead of fancy restaurant. During my first day there, I went to this local restaurant, in Hong Kong, they called it "Char Chan Teng" where most local common average Joe will patronized. Having a meal in Hong Kong is not cheap but be assured that your one value meal, you will be blardy full and will hardly get hungry easily. The value meal normally comes with a main (noodle/rice) & drink.
When you are in any "Char Chan Teng" in HK, the only drink you must drink will be the tea-milk or "Nai Char" they called in Cantonese. HK's tea-milk will put Wong Kok or Kimgary so called HK Char Chan Teng to shame.
I went breakfast with my brother at this particular "Char Chan Teng" in Kowloon. I had this beef fried with egg & rice. Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!
While my brother had this pork chop in sweet sour sauce & rice.
My brother's gf opted for their "Wan Tan Mee". Look at those dumplings, I had a bite. Again for the price you paid for it, you won't feel any bit cheated because the quality ingredients in it.
All in all, I spent about HKD$140 for the breakfast meal for 3 person, we felt bloated really finishing and beware, in HK, do not be a smart alec to order additional like what I normally did in Malaysia, cos it is not easy to finish the whole main meal by yourself.
HK people also like beef stew with its parts a lot, they called it "Ngau Lam", and no matter what the people commented how good is the Ngau Lam in Peel Road & Jalan Alor Malaysia, I beg to differ. HK got the best "Ngau Lam" ever!
Just look at this picture, too bad for those who do not take beef :P
As we walked around, in some of the major complexes you can see these horse statuettes, this is where the local Hongkie but their stake on the horse racing. Chinese people surely love gambling don't they? Hehehe...
Ok... it's about 2.30am now, tired of resizing my photos d, so what's the next thing I gonna write bout HK? A bit of teaser at the picture below.
OK dudes, I am signing off for now... HONG KONG, I MISS YOU!!!
You know the risk staying in this country? If you make a statement, the police can treat it as seditious and they have the right to arrest you, confiscate your laptop/desktop wtf...
My dear police, last night Jalan Sultan Ismail in front of Wisma Genting was blardy jam, what you guys doing? Surfing blogs and trying to knock us bloggers down? Seriously, my dear BN, are you changing? Are you listening to the people? Niamah!!!
I agree with RPK...
Murderers of Altantuya should be sent to hell - not only send, burn & rot in HELL!
And is it true that the recently deceased Tan Sri Nasimuddin, being investigated by the UK Police? Member-member dia puji dia tokoh ahli perniagaan. Bunch of jokers!
Read details here. And here.
BLOG WITH FACTS! BLOG WITHOUT FEAR!
Sorry for not updating for the past few days. Besides my day job, I recently was requested by someone to assist on copy writing. I truly do not understand the role of copywriter until I took up the offer, Though short, it was not easy on my first attempt. I am glad indeed that someone who commented and discovered that I have talent in writing, thanks thanks *kembang a bit*I just finished that piece and emailed to her, hopefully it meets her expectation lar. Phew, what else to update ar?
I just do a makeover again on my new Windows based laptop, changed it to OS X Leopard now. Damn canggih you know. Follow back my few posts back for dummy's guide k. Damn simple...
Besides that, damn a lot to update lar... niamah my hero RPK got called up by our mata for questioning over a post on his site. Kalau kita tak salah, well... BLOG WITHOUT FEAR!!!
And if only our other majority politicians can be as down to earth as this menteri contoh.
Our humble CM on Economy class just like one of us Malaysian. Picture courtesy from mrmanager, you can check his posting here.
Firstly, happy labor day to all. Last night was one of the best night ever spent, I did not know that in Cheras there is a place nicknamed "Little Genting", an indeed a lovely evening spent with someone I am in love with. Oh no, I am not attached as yet, it is in the progress, I was seen by many including her that I have not completely erase my past memories, something I would not want to debate and will allow God to arrange for me.
I hardly write about relationship these days, perhaps it had been a while since I last really "in love". I found someone though, someone I had known for years, someone I felt very comfortable with, someone I miss right now while doing this post and someone I think I would grow old with.
And... hmm... it's labor day today, I am home, watching few DVDs and resting. She is at work at the moment, I hope everything goes well at her side. And there is this movie I just finished, Dan In Real Life, a comedy I highly recommend.
For those who had taken leave for tomorrow, enjoy the long break ya. For those in love, love is not just feeling, love is also about ability.
Cheers!
This is my print screen shot. I played a bit with my desktop and a bit of tweaking and taa daaaahhh... my windows XP got OS X-ed. Few commented that it slowed down the whole system but my experience with it looks smooth *touch wood*, or perhaps my machine is of the latest chipset, that is why it ran well.
With a few widgets from yahoo.com and the OS X wallpaper, my desktop GUI now looked neat and sweet ;)
Happy trying. The step-by-step idiot guide is here.
