When a leader begins to fight his own people to hold power by using social cannibalism is a sign of corruption. That's akin to the employment of ISA to the general demos here by the egomaniacs. Where scribe becomes felon but nasayer becomes hero. Social cannibalism is often the sequel to political set back when the human structure beneath him under his kingdom begins to decay.
History has proven that those who have had used social cannibalism by putting their opponents and enemies out of the way by various means, would have eventually succumbed to an end of their kingdoms. The world has experienced many tyrannies.
This country was well along since independence yet leaders still do not know what kind of life its people want and even do not understand that freedom is seemed to be the peoples raison d'etre.

在上班的旅程中，听myfm的林得荣在那边‘考弊考目’地话拳头，实在是过瘾。在下班的回程中，听vivian在那厢勤意的咖啡馆里头‘咯咧咯愫’地抒情，而且还不时在那边对着那枝孤单的麦克风，开怀大笑。听她那把带有点base的笑声，她笑我也笑了，实在是更过瘾。
晚餐间，时常是不知不觉地会越吃越快，因为受到了电视台华语瀑[报]告新闻的音速所影响。那一批华语新闻报告员，除了业剑锋之外，往往都是那么地火急报告新闻，一贯以m16的速度吐[读]完交差了事，有时还会末途而废呢！实在是越听越烦，我讨厌这种肤浅的报告。拜托拜托啦阿姨，请多多参考cctv的华语新闻报告啦！
所以说，不同的节目报告者，将带给你不同的emotions罢。
Some anak-anak Malaysia broke into my house this morning before dawn and stole my newly purchased Yamaha Nouvo motorcycle. This is the second time of atrocity happened within a year's time. My friends all said that one must always learn to grin and bear it here (the bolehland), because those crime makers are hardly be having their collars felt and be charged. What can you do is bemoaning the haplessness several times at due course!
So this has nevertheless satirized the statement of "Malaysia is a safe place" which is often be uttered by politicians as well as mass media.
Another satire is the Report of lost at police station which took me more than one hour to complete. This includes the time to wake up policemen from logging Z's and the time to help in configuring one OC's printer to get function.
Yeah! Malaysia boleh!
Compared to previous pre-national day celebration, fever fluttering of national flags in the streets was an anomaly. The ambience of Merdeka spirit had surprisingly diminished. Why?
Maybe some thought that being patriotism was not necessarily related to the meaning of flying national flag;
Maybe one was reluctant to rise the flag under the volatile political situation although he loved our country very much;
Maybe some had a propensity of keeping his flag inside the drawer to show their discontent about the bad government;
Maybe some reserved to be happier to fly flag later if there were new government born;
Maybe some had have unhinged by the high pump prices and putting up of a flag has become a repugnant thing to them;
There certainly were hundreds of disparate reasons to justify for ambivalence.
But I just couldn't buy a flag under high inflation pressure to wave in the street and I thought of saving money over unnecessary expenditure in order to meet the inflated electricity charges. The only way I can do is flutering the flag over here.
An SMS from one of my buddies informed me the news of the death of Loh Cheng Sun, my former teacher, and wish to extend my regrets for a great loss to his family.
In retrospect, my school life under his teaching seems happier than in reality and it reminds me of an interesting incident. There was a time the teacher was furious and chastised one of my classmates with a corporal punishment after receiving the ludicrous answer "coconut tree has hairs" in a discussion about the commercial values of coconut tree. In fact, this was the first time and the only one I'd had seen the teacher in getting his blood boil during my school life. Perhaps it is our human nature to be nostalgic.
Also regretted for not being able to discover his blog earlier.
His posthumous works is however being tagged into my reading list in honoring his memory.
今天 2008 年 08 月 26, 天氣: 豔陽高照。心情: 不慌不忙。
今天一大清早起床，发现長了針眼的右眼已经消肿了，蠻開心的。老伴也似乎很開心的起了身而正在忙着装扮。因为今天我们都有一个很重要的共同意图；去take part改朝换代的活动。
八点半，来到了投票站, 那是詩歌布朗再也的胡先翁投票站，接受了公正黨支持者的招呼与握手, 然后进場, 给安華补上了两張的上京票。回程哼着take me home country road ......。
In the mix of political tussles and mob demagogies that were very tumultuous and enigmatic, I spent the past few weeks enjoying the burlesque about the diminution of national's pump price that has been theatrically discussed. By golly, you can see two fighting cocks (Soo Kuan vs Guan Eng) are bickering before close encounter over a bowl of missing rice in the mean time.
Negative politicians all the while talk about subsidies or else using golden finger for delusion as if it would be a short-term solution to high oil prices, but that simply wouldn’t be the case at all. The dull and disingenuous politicians are selling the sizzle and not the satay. They made you high by verbal guarantee but let you suffered at the end from inflation.
The crescendo in the last movement led to just an orate of Badawi yesterday that declining world crude oil price gave good hope for the government to reduce pump prices. This hope will not very sure be fulfilled in line with a so called "floating price mechanism" for petrol proposed to be implemented this Sept 1.
I'm not a pessimist but I just can't believe the norm of "tunggu tenggoh" (wait & see) attitude, the frequent applicable golden rule of the government of which is basically finished in a state of ambiguity.
Shall the pump price then be lowered?
The opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympics was generally perceived by peoples as a wonderful display of amazing performances. It is by far the most outstanding Olympic Ceremony that many people did agree. I really enjoyed the moment the former gymnastics star Li Ning was flying high to light the cauldron of the Beijing Olympic.
As I came to understand that parts of the performances were faked; the little girl who starred at the Olympic opening ceremony was shown in mime and one fireworks display was prerecorded, I had a qualm. It reminds me of an old proverb that Chinese people are used to "slap his own face to get it a fatter face in order to symbolize as rich people."
For whatever reasons to overshade the real singer, a seven-year-old girl Yang Peiyi who is not considered charming in the eyes of the authority, is an insult to her. It is actually a discrimination against human nature to want only a beautiful face. I think China has hurt her pride by just profiting her voice and not her face. It is in fact not a sign of humility to declaim against the praise of Olympic where it was all about projecting the beautify image of China irrespective of honesty and reality.
最近发现家里斗的小红蚁突然来了特别多。搞到四处可见其踪影，从家具，电器，甚至于连老子所栖身的床，都一一变成它们的playground了。
老伴为了避免蚁患，所以就提议我代劳把老窝（蛇鼠一窝的窝；我们对床的口斗语）所靠墙的一边移开少许，想制造一个缝隙与蚂蚁来个楚河汉界之分。那时我真的很懒惰动身，所以就敷衍以半開玩笑地回答说，“老查婆，不用啦，等下我们打仗的时候老窝会失去依靠地振动啦，或者改天再move罢。”
老伴笑嘻嘻地回答，“哎呦！死老公，你还以为你是十八二十几岁啊！三十几年前的会动床表演，没有咯！已家不会摇了啦，快快把床移出一点点好不好。”
为了将就她的意愿，我只好纵令。就把老窝稍微移出，然后再打趣地说，“来，一起来，让我prove给你看，老窝还是会vibrate的。”
“吾麦！我好想睡，明早还要带我们的孙子呢！postpone吧，睡啦！goodnight！”她一面说一面已辗转入被欲见周公了。
听到她这般戏以为常的postpone和goodnight，心中真是领悟到“她真的累了”。
夢幻般的愛情感覺也許無法歷久彌新，但是相敬如賓和心灵相通的感覺就像台灣俗語說的“老伴”那樣的亲切。當愛情的感覺routine了、淡了，但是相敬如賓和心灵相通的生活還是可以將彼此牢牢地繫在一起的呢！
就是这样partake in each other's joys and sorrows，我们又过了另一个安祥的夜晚，也许，这该是第11800的夜晚吧！
In the gambling game of Sic-Bo (Big & Small), if all 3 dices were cast with number 1 red-spot each facing upward, it means that it's an odd for the entitlement of the house to eat all. Abdullah as the house raised petrol prices by 41% and diesel by 63% overnight. Coupled with the impending 18% electricity hike from July. Thus equitably eating up both the subsidies and the surplus of oil production.
Nations are shocked by these unprecedented elevations and be in a puzzle. The atmosphere is now rife with the ubiquitous question of "How can we do with the inflation?"
My friend asked me for how could I cope with the ensuing price hike as a retiree. I bewilderingly answered: "I'm despondent over the Abdullah's way of handling money. Let's hope the "bo loh yong" (incompetent) house could be toppled, let's hope the eastern part malaysians be the first to be traumatized and made a clamor for reform."
I don't know how many people there are equating my thinking!
Although Sharon Stone had made her apology for her previous remarks at the Cannes Film Festival last week that the earthquake that struck China was the result of bad karma. Her remarks were like an arsenic that had hurt deeply the feeling of not only China's people but the Chinese of the world as well. People have a strong animosity against her personality.
Stone tends to be a contentious figure to making controversial remarks. In 1993 she claimed that German Jews "brought it on themselves, man" about the Holocaust, and in 2007 she also said that the tsunami that killed thousands of people was "like, showing those people they should have learned to swim faster." All of her remarks are baseless and are palpably harassing with carping and frivolousness.
Most celebrities who have first class mentality with conscience would always show their love to the community. Only those who have third class mentality with disdain, like Stone, would always deride other people.
Now it seems that a real bad karma is doomed to strike on her. Many pledges by many Chinese mainland and Hong Kong cinemas not to screen her movies again; Cosmetic chains are removing advertisements that containing her image; and a boycott event of products linked to her image is underway. On top of that, Chinese netizens saw her to be a felon more than a bitch!
Reported by Chinanews.com, 10,000 quake rescuers had courageously rescued 60,745 people out from the rubbles.
"According to a heraldic report, 60,745 trapped people and 1716 cheated-death survivors had been rescued from the rubbles by an approximate of 10,000 policemen, firefighters and medical workers." said by the minister assistant of the Ministry of Public Security, Sun Yongbo during an interview at Beijing, May 22.
If the data were accurate, it would denote an agile rescue that is honorable. Nevertheless, their indomitable efforts to save quake victims should be extolled and be given a tribute.
I feel sadness for those people who had lost their lives in this Sichuan earthquake!
At a time when all people with conscience are wholeheartedly making their efforts and contributions to help save as many lives as possible from the Sichuan Province 8.0 magnitude earthquake disaster. A devoid of the heart of shame was incredibly happened at the other end.
A cargo of quake-aid goods which was in the midst of delivery to the quake-hit areas by a group of quake-relief volunteers has seen being frantically robbed by some ugly villagers, who were acting from expediency. not from principle.
The rummage and rip-off of goods took only 3 minutes to completely vacate the cargo.
The volunteers stood aghast at the sudden appearance of the day-light stealers. They could not do anything except to sneer at the stealers "Are you all consider as Chinese people?" 「 你 們 還 算 中 國 人 嗎 ？ 」
Shouldn't those who had made expediency of the disaster, afflict with conscience and feel ashamed of themselves?

The demeanors of father raping his own underage daughter is an abomination and must be seriously chastised.
The just happening news of this "Father accused of raping 4yr-old daughter" and that "Shocked over hubby molesting own daughter" is enough to get on my nerves.
If I were Black Justice, certainly I'll bring this kind of vicious father to heel, by not putting him into jail but instead I'll amputate his cock 3 inches per evil act. Thus letting him to be on the rack for unable to have sexual pleasure anymore for his life. The verdict he had deserved to be punished!
The government is determined to bring down inflation as there appears to be a growing discontent about inflation. I am sure most of the Malaysians especially those who are poor are gnashing their teeth with bitch over the depreciation of their ringgit to spend.
"The government was aware of the situation and had made immediate allocations worth billions of riggit to ensure that Malaysians were not burdened by inflation." PM Pak Lah said when delivering the Umno president's message yesterday.
The purport of what he has said is that he will continue using allocations most probably be siphoned from other sectors' allocations to fight for the inflation. I see this as an "apong cooking" business deriding the effort of using only 3 covers to look after 10 pans of 'apong' in cooking. Apparently there is a risk of making some 'apongs' to be spoilt.
Most people know that the best medicine for curing inflation is the form of "inflation targeting" which says that whenever price growth exceeds a target level, interest rates should be raised.
Like China, amid a major wave of international grain price hikes, it has managed to maintain stable domestic prices. Why? Because China's interest rate is keeping pace with inflation.
China had raised its interest rate 10 times in 2007 and 3 times during the early part of 2008. Today their central bank announced again that it would raise their 4th reserve requirement ratio for commercial banks by 0.5 percentage point to curb the rising inflation.
Here in Malaysia, economy has deteriorated sharply in recent years and wages are impossible to keep pace with inflation. Subsidies shall be evanesce under tight government spending.
The crude recipe for this situation is abstention. When interest rate is raised, people tend to spend less and save more, thus making the market deflation becomes an adversary to inflation.
这个世界真糟糕，为什么？有些人有得吃，但是却选择不要吃；有些人很想吃，但是却被命运摆布得没得吃。
同样是人，写照不一。

劳动节有感而言 - 刚开始写部落格(blog)时，總希望能獲得來自讀者的互動，會進到我家(我的blog)裡坐坐喝杯茶，交換意見、噓寒問暖等等, 甚至期盼能有所謂社群的形成。但后来却发现大部份部落格的讀者都是沉默的，也就是所謂的"潛水客"，也许他們有看了我的文章而不置可否，感覺好像是經過我家門口，瞄一眼然後就走人了。
后来写了一段時日之後，把重点都放在于自我修养阶段和半退休后建立起新的充实生活之上，所以一想写就写，不想写的话就暂停。处之泰然，总算是有时勤忙于blogging，好过呆在家里摇时钟，吃饱等死罢！
其實我認為最balance的生活，應該是休閒與作业並重，一直享有自己的心靈或興趣的追求，一直对社會有所貢獻，而不是截然分成兩段：拚命工作，沒有任何自己的生活；或者退休，完全脫離社會服務的體系，整天無所事事。
再者是"事事不要抱怨，社会充满不公平现象。你先不要想去改造它，只能先适应它。因为你管不了它" 比尔.盖茨的第一金玉良言。
Today's grandpa and grandma lead full and active lives that include everything from parenting and cooking and volunteering. But that's no surprise. Through the years, we have enjoyed many rich and wonderful experiences, and have taken it all in our stride. Now it's time to welcome our 3rd grandchild (our elder daughter's firstborn), named Xin Ying who was borne by caesarean delivery on the evening of March 27. She is delightfully pretty and dainty!
The first one, she is Megan Fox who was seen in the scene of "Transformer," the sexiest woman in the world at least according to FHM magazine. The "Transformer" co-star tops FHM's annual 100 Sexiest Women in the world poll of FHM readers.
The second one, she is one of the motto-girls of Beijing car show. She was claimed to be a highest viewed girl amongst the Chinese Internet users.
Some said that the highlight of "Transformer" was undeniably brunette beauty Megan Fox. More specifically, the sexy post in that car-fixing scene which could nearly made you choke on your popcorn.
Nevertheless, the Chinese motto-girl is said to be very aphrodisiac who was wearing without 'insulation' inside which could bewilderingly made your heart jumps faster.
So, which one is nicer! For me, I prefer the latest.
