The other day.....

1) I was going thru a round about. I looked to my right, there was no car, so I went into the roundabout....... suddenly bang! I was sure there was no vehicle on my left.... apparently there was a motorcyclist who went into the round about from my left and cut in front of me.... Poor guy, he does not know what hit him! Serve him right......

2) Being a "victim" or being "responsible"? Anyone wanna share? Will talk about it soon. This topic got to do with a good friend of mine. Lets call him RES. Remind me ok.....

3) I am going into a 5 day training starting tomorrow! Yeah! I finished the basic last month, and I am doing the advance tomorrow! Hopefully in March I can do the Leadership Program. Yeah got to do with my good friend RES! Let us talk about this soon....

4) Met a millionaire and billionaire to be (She is the same person la). She drives a Merc Coupe. Was informed the car cost nearly RM Half a million! Man.... I can never afford that! Anyhow, I was so curious, that I decided to ask her what business she is into. Acting coyly, she says "sex". So my friends, who knows, soon I will be in "sex" business too! Hey KH want to join me do "sex" business in Singapore..???? Come on....

P/S: Will update more soon..... especially on "sex" business..... hehehe..... Who knows I will give income to those thousands that is being laid off.... ermm "laid" off.... Sex... laid... my mind is wondering to where many does not dare to venture!!!!!

Common Sense - Case Study II

Is this true, what I am thinking? Tell me ok.....

Due to this car maker, more than 20 years ago, we Malaysian, can no longer purchase medium end automobiles at medium price!

After 20 years:

1) They still produce lemons. Sorry... they are producing better cars... but maybe 20% better than when they started... while other cars have evolved by leaps and bounds. Dont believe me, take a look at Honda City and Toyota Corolla 20 years ago and their equivalent model and compare it now!

2) They create plenty of jobs. Wow! But at the expense of around 50,000 people every month buying "cheap" but expensive cars. It looks cheap because we have to pay extra tax for imports models. The best part is, the same car is cheaper when we sell overseas! (Does not make sense! We Malaysian have to pay more locally, and we export better quality cars but lower price than local!) Now, there are in the news that the high end of this model, seems to be expensive to maintained.... that some state government is or going to change to more affordable Japanese models!

I am just pondering.....

a) If we have not embark on this national car, I think we all will be driving safer and cheaper medium end cars.... of course imported models, which will make some people jump on me saying that I am not patriotic.. .but hold on and read some more....
b) Look at the good side of more employment.... am I wrong to say, that actually if this national car was not born, the same numbers of jobs still exist, accept it is in the foreign (imported) car local industry... There will still be assembly plants for the imported models.... showrooms... etc.
c) Economically better with our own national car?? Ermm... I think we, Malaysian, have enough of subsidizing this national car! After 20 years, I am no longer proud of it's achievement. Sometimes I wonder... what achievement? Yeah I am driving one, not because of anything, but I can't afford the imported models... which if this car does not exist, I will be able to afford one. Am I making sense?
d) Is this national car a mistake? I think so. Look at the other national car, it seems there are doing a little bit better. Yet, I still believe, all national cars are not a good venture, after all, our population is (only) 26 million(Including the legal and illegal foreigners)! If it is really a mistake, can we please apologize and correct the mistake?
e) After 20 years, do this car still need government protection? Why not keep it as a memento, but let it be competitive with the other imported brand? Yes some smart Alex will say, other countries are protecting their automobile market too.... but look at how they do it. Better technology, advance machineries, superb handling... etc.

I think....

1) We should have a national product, but less ambitious than a national car. Some countries, make superb watches, or knives or electronic gadgets... etc. It still create a great economy and plenty of jobs. Be competitive in the global market. Better product should be sold to Malaysians, not sold cheaper to other countries and subsidize by local sales, which actually mean local are getting lemons and paying a bomb!
2) I love Malaysia, that is why I am writing this. let your common sense prevail. Just to look good, and you make your country men suffer? Yes, so many will argue, of all the great things that this national car have achieved (I wonder what? After 20 years, it managed to developed its own engine..... bravo.... to me it is like saying a chimpanzee managed to make it's own basic fishing rod, whereas, fishing rods maker nowadays have developed better and more sophisticated rods.)

My humble apology to those that still do not have common sense. Let all the bigotry be put aside. Have an open mind to all the possibilities to make each every moment much better in our beloved country Malaysia. Lets start to have some common sense.....

Common sense - Case Study 1.

Yeah I have very little common sense..... but much more than some people.

Malaysia have the highest fatal accident rates involving motorcycles. Common sense says we have to focus on:
a) Machine - the motorcycle itself. We want safe motorcycles on the roads.
b) Man (Riders & pillions) - Responsible, understanding and educated in the ethics of riding motorcycles.

If we can only make everyone understand, small motorcycles compared to the bigger (in size and engine capacity) are more dangerous. Therefore, smaller motorcycles should not be allowed on the highways. Yes there will be argument that says small bikes can be fast on highways. I agree. Last week I was driving at 120 km/hr, and a small bike of 110 cc overtook me!

Want to know why it is dangerous? As these small motorcycles are modified to go faster, but it is difficult to make them safer. At 120 km/hr, no way in an emergency that small motorcycle can stop immediately or abruptly without it loosing control!

I am for the people high up to reduce the tax tariff on bigger motorcycle so that it is affordable for most people. So that we can have more bigger safer motorcycles on the road.

Focus on the education and training of riders are utmost important. Motorcycle giants like Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki and the rest should take the initiative to educate riders using advertisements, campaign, seminars and on the road trainings and guides on safe riding. Safe riding is not about riding the motorcycles slowly, but to know one's limit.

There are more to it, but I would like remind myself and everyone, have some common sense in our everyday life. Make it beautiful and safe for you, and for everyone!! Have a great riding experience!

Loans and Friends.

Which is more important to you? Money or friendship/relationship?

Throughout my life, I have given some loans to my friends and relatives from time to time. I am not a rich person, thus the reason I am giving my view on this matter.

From my personal experience, only 30% of the loans taken by my friends/relatives are paid back to me. This put me in a very grave position as financial is concern.

I come to a conclusion that whenever a friend/relative ask for a loan, whatever the amount, I will ask myself, how much am I willing/I can afford to GIVE them? Thus I will give that amount and nothing more. So when they did not pay, I do not really feel the pain.

Lately my life is getting better. I am loosing none of my friends/relatives.

Marking Territory.

I was having breakfast the other day. Ordered "hot lemon" and "Tosai". Sat at a corner, waiting for the order.

I was actually bored, caused I can't surf or read my mail on my blackberry as the battery was nearly flat. So I was actually looking around that "Mamak" restaurant. My mind wandering. Ermm... Not so clean. A little bit efficient. The usual.

Suddenly thru the corner of my eyes, I noticed a cat walking by the payment counter. Something normal, have seen that scene so many times before. Nothing special.

Then suddenly, as the cat was passing by the bread stacks it peed!

It was actually marking it's territory!

Now suddenly I dont feel like eating bread for sometime. In fact my mind is thinking what else or where else does cats peed? Never mind.....

Just thinking out loud.

Why not close a giant factory producing cars, because we are afraid that a few thousand people may loose their job?
The way I see it..... because of this factory, car prices went up more than 20 years ago. We are hoodwink into buying cheaper cars, which is substandard, and the one exported are actually of better quality and cheaper! And to save these people's job, more than 50 thousand rakyat every month must purchase this actually relatively expensive cars! For example the high maintenance of these cars as proven by some local government expenditures and budgets.....

Why are they so many cupcai on the highway?
Ermm... because it is a cheaper way in means of transport.... But are lives cheaper? How many fatalities everyday of this cupcai riders? Why should be bigger cc bike so expensive? Afterall they are more safer on highways....

There will be more whys.... and next time maybe I will elaborate more.... just my 2 cents worth of thinking.

Dear Policeman

I think there are a few things that we should not be doing while driving. One of them is on your cell phone while driving. You should also put on your seat belt. Soon even the back passengers will be mandatory to put on seat belts. And of course, one should not be driving faster than the speed limit.

So, these are the three things that I think all of us should follow the rules by the relevant authority. Of course there are more....

It is just that I am a little peeved, cause a few times, with my own eyes, I saw our policeman breaking their own rules that they should uphold.

Talking on the cell phone without hands free while in the squad car! I have seen personally at least once. I was wondering why the squad car was driving slowly yet not so erratically swaying to left and right. By the time I passed the squad car, which I have to pass on the left side, as it was hogging the fast lane, I can see the driver holding his cell phone to his ear without hands free! Well must be his wife on the phone.....

How many times any of us has seen the occupants of our police squad car not using seat belts? I have seen so many times. One time I read in the newspaper, where a citizen complained about the police not using seat belts yet summoning the normal citizen that may have forgotten to put it on. I cannot remember which high ranking officer took the liberty to answer in the newspaper. His common sense in answering the question was that his officers do not use the seat belts because it was hindering them to take quick action if they should need to react fast on emergencies. Ermmm ?

Driving faster than the speed limit. Yes I agree in the line of duty, of course they should be driving as fast as they can. But I have seen squad cars driven more than the speed limits on the highways, without it's siren blaring or the lights on. Which to say, they were no emergency, yet they drove more than the speed limit.

So I wonder, why the double standard? So many answers came to my mind. But one stick on my mind. We human, when in authority, we fail to see our own mistakes, yet we can see every detail of the mistakes of others......

What you say?

Promoting Malaysian Bloggers Directory.

I am focusing on promoting Malaysian Bloggers Directory from now until end of September 2007, where this post will be on top of my latest post. After September we will see what happened.

Personally, I love the idea of this directory. The possibilities is endless, however whether ideas can be implemented or not is another issue. And the possibility of it being abuse is there. If all of us are responsible and sincere, we may be able to help to make this program, champion by an individual (enaizi), a success for the Malaysian Bloggers Community. Maybe a "single" huge voice of all the little little Malaysian Bloggers out here can be realised.

Below are some messages from enaizi the webmaster of MalaysianNetwork @ Malaysian Bloggers Directory . I am posting it here to so that we can understand enaizi explaination and vision. Do promote it on your blog too..... remember the possibility of a huge single voice is endless. Again my caution is not to abuse it.

Message 1.
Hi All
I'm the webmaster for the MalaysianNetwork.
This is a personal project that I've been working on in my free time for the last five years.
It started as a platform for me to try out new technology, especially RIA-based (Rich Internet Applications).

So DG, dont worry, its not {the government monitoring us.... "big brother"....}
but I guest it will make it easier for Muhammad son of Muhammad to find RPK's blogs for his next police report. :)

I developed a web crawler that starts from one blog and complile links from the blogs and continue to add more blogs.
So that's why inevetibly some non-malaysian blogs end up in the list.

Every day, just before I go for lunch, I'll start the crawler to update the lastest postings. By one hour, it will already indexed all the 2000+ active blogs.

No registration is required to include your blog. The registration is for members to access the online applications such as myOffice, myGroup etc, which will be available later. (Still under Beta testing)

For new blog, once added, it will be marked as "to be reviewed". Normally I will review them the same night.

Thank you.

One point is awarded for each visitors referred. More points equals higher ranking in the list.

If I can save time in a bottle.

Been working harder and longer hours to make more money. It is true money is not everything, however, it is a valuable tool as a "key" to open up "doors" and make life a little bit easier.

The funny thing about me is that, I work hard for the money, because I want to buy time. I have this notion, if I can have more money, I can actually buy time. Guess I am still trying to prove it. I work more and longer hours. Still the money is not there..... and my time is getting shorter!

Now I realise, time is more valuable than money itself. Now I am caught in a dilemma, looks like I cannot have both?

So I am back to the drawing board. Figuring how make to more money and have more free time.

Let me ponder more on my uncertainty of my next step......

My confession - Girlfriends.

I have to get this thing off my chest. I do need opinion, honest sincere opinion. I realized that as a human being, I have always thought that I am right for most of the things I did. There are times I admit when I am wrong.

First and foremost, in my whole life I have fallen in love five times. Is that something that is too much, and I am considered a Casanova? Yes I do not deny that I still love all five of them. But to what degree only I know. To say that I love all of them the same, then I am a liar. Of course I have my favorite!

Is it not normal for a person, to fall in love and will always love the other party? I can understand, when you thought you fall in love, then you realize the other party is a jerk or not suitable for you, and you break off your relationship. Then I can say, you stop loving the other person.

But what if you break off due to circumstances, different religion, or parents’ intervention or even due to wrong timing? Nothing got to do with both of you. Both of you were so in love…. then how? Your love died when you find another person in your life? Then sorry I have to say this…. your love was never true!

Yes my views might be wrong. So maybe some of you that is wise may share your opinion with me.

One last question, for a person that had sex with five different women throughout their life, is he considered a Casanova?

The truth.

What is the truth?

I have always wondered.

I remembered the story of a boy got caught stealing food as he was very hungry. Was it that everybody wanted to punish him severely? Then somebody came and told all of them something like this, "You may punish the boy, but the one that can punish him must be someone that have never stolen....".

So I was just merely thinking..... why do I make so much fuss when someone is not telling me the truth? I would like to know, is there anybody out there that has never lied in his/her life time?

However, I am still adamant that one must not lie. Then again, it cross my mind, is telling the truth nothing but the truth is the best policy?

And then, there is the question, what is considered a lie? What is half truth? Is there such thing as half truth? Or the degree of the lie or truth??? Ermm... I am perplex...

Now I am wondering, when is someone considered to be a liar? I guess all of us is a liar, at one time or another? That reminds me what the old folks tried to tell me when I was much younger.... pointing a finger to accuse a person he is a liar.... there are at least three more of your own fingers pointing at yourself!

Why dont life have a clear line to differentiate the negative and positive attributes? Like the devil and angel. We human being is the one that is blur, right smack inbetween them. Sometimes we are an angel and sometimes we can be the devil!........

Virginity.

With all the bruhaha on the study by one of the reputable local university where 99.99999999999 % of the teenager girls interviewed were not a virgin.

WOW!

As expected, it turns out they were interviewing from a group sample of teenagers that have issues, like drugs, broken homes, prostitution etc.

I pity those girls. But what they did was wrong. I just hope the authority have some sort of program to help these girls starts a new life. Time mend and heals the past. If one wants to change, anyone can change for the better.

I pray that all human being, do realise, each one of you can make changes to your life. You do not need to wait for someone else to help you. Even if you do need help, there will be someone willing to help. Just find the right people.......

But that is not what I am writing this post about. It just puzzles me, what a reputable university trying to do with those findings? Proof that we are an immoral lot? At first reading the article, I thought they were doing a study on their own students!

Well, actually, I am wondering, how many of you guys are actually a virgin when you got married??? Why the fuss la, a girl or lady must be a virgin, but men... its ok not to be one! Tahi lembu punya pemikiran!!!! Pardon me......

I am confident, if they (the reputable university) do a survey on their male students, the findings will definitely get parents to consider taking their kids out off universities!

Let us not be double standard la.....

What percentage of men cheat on their partners?

I really do not know. Serious... I have heard some nasty and bitter stories. But the real gravity to how many men, or the percentage of men that cheats, I have no idea. Again, if I were to use the 25% theory..... hehehe... wakakaka.... there are 75% possible cheaters out there.....

But again, what is the definition of cheating? Having more than one love? Having more than one sex partners? Having cyber relationship? Or maybe merely having another close friend?

My last statement, to most is nothing unusual, but there are ladies out there, who in their mind, it is a form of cheating in their relationship.

I have heard of extreme stories, a lady who even despice her partner, when he has some group of very close knitted male friends! Maybe that is more of a jealousy case than a cheating one.... but the story goes that the lady thinks that her partner, will start cheating because of the influence of this close circle of friends. I heard it nearly ended their marriage. I wonder how are they now?

So maybe we can define the real meaning of cheating in our relationship, then only we can find how many men actually cheats ........

I have a question for HL, does dating with your own partner but acting as though they are someone different, borders some sort of cheating in a relationship?? Just wondering.... and I am not looking for a fight.... just an understanding.....

My sincere apology if I unintentionally made some of you uneasy or even angry!

Supernova

Is it a new beginning? Afterall, all are only theories, backed by evidence and proof. Yet is it conclusive? But who am I to say, as I am not an expert in the above subject?

This is what I have learn in life though. What we hear we might misunderstood as the perspective of sound and meaning ranges quite vastly. For instance the sound of "bang" for those that has heard of firecrackers will be merely thought of firecrackers exploding, whereas, to those that is use to hear the sound of a handgun firing will hear and interpret it differently.

Same thing as what we see. What is proven to be a new beginning might be an end, or something else altogether. Thus the phrase "Do not belief what we hear and half belief what we see"?

The diversity of life and our mind makes living so colorful and interesting. Trying to understand it will take more than a lifetime. The lifespan of universe alone hides so many mysteries. If only we can understand a small percentage of our mind, I am confident it will help us in this journey of life. Again it is only my theory.

When face with an issue, so many times to unravel it or make sense out of it or to understand it better, I will go back to it's basic. From there maybe I can make some conclusion. Be wary that in the end, it is our own personal interpretation. Even if we get the ideas for the conclusion from journals or masters of the subject.

Before I conclude my blogging today, I want to touch on a subject that is bugging me over the weekend. In the matter of our transport or automobile. We should be joyous that the roadtax will be reduce. However, after consulting my underdeveloped brain, I realised that within a month those benefits will go to paying the new toll rates. With the impending rise of gasoline price, I wonder how long that benefit will last?

And I wonder what are our great leaders trying to inform us? We have a brain of a chimpanzee? Our beloved country is in the brink of bankrupcy? Or what? Again, it is only the theories of supernova! Does supernova really matters in our daily life?

Let us all pray that the year 2007, will be a much better year for all of us. I have always belief, one person like you, CAN make a difference!

Sacrifice of the lamb.

Do not make mistake of "Silence of the lamb".

As most Muslims celebrated the Eidil Adha, some went back to see their maker. A former president of a great country. A former God father of soul. A former dictator. And many more ....

This year in celebration of Eidil Adha my heart is heavy with sadness. Too many sacrifices ... or is it too little? But I know, it is not enough to calm this wrenched heart of mine.

Like the "Silence of the lamb" I have the notion that there are too many psychos out there. Lets us all just pray none become Lexter. For the world is at the brink of extinction. And it is indeed sad, that the majority of the population is very silent.

Basic lesson. Too much of anything is not good for anybody. My prayers to all that is being laden with the miseries of the world. Be strong as the tidal of destruction is just beginning.....

Party time!

Its party time folks.......






Does not matter what age you are or which generation. We human being will find any excuse to party! Its normal to be sad in the passing of a friend. However, was it in New Orleans, they do have a party at a wake.... full with the band playing, dancing and singing to rythm and blues? We human do not want to be sad.

Thus driven by pain and pleasure, we human despise pain and crave for pleasure. To everything there is a limit.... and some human just push everything to its limit. The majority will evade pain at all cost, and seek pleasure without boundaries...

So where will it leads us to? Most great civilisation ends when the limit or maximum has been derive. Too much of anything will destroy the gist of everything and anything which becomes nothing. (Hehehe.... do I make sense? I dunno!).

So you think I am drunk? I am sober..... but like some human being, we sometimes seeks pain. Pain when pushed to its limit, will give pleasure..... immense pleasure.

Lets have a great 2007! Push it to the limit.......
