Why the Glow?

It's extremely heartwarming to know that the scramble and the tumble out of bed 4 hours after working on a media document to boil some rice and cook al dente supermarket brand pasta is helping kickstart a national campaign to mobilise some 4,000 Australians into action against poverty.

IMO.

Turning to the 'rakyat' for a more 'inclusive' budget, what a populist politician overused joke!

I am concerned that you have spent your time in office reading obvious blogger's comments on your tech-savvy blog, because it speaks volumes of your advisers if you saw fit to micro-manage as if you have.

Ailing Dog Old Tricks

Does Talent Corp Malaysia sound familiar?

Because it is!

A repeat of the 'Brain Drain' program introduced way back in 1995!

AHAH! My most significant discovery from my night of research.

Idiot Pollies.

Are you expecting a pat on the back, and a gold star dear sir?
You obese individual, give him a home already. You're not doing anyone any favours by being patronising and enquiring of his well-being. You're probably going to call in late to work the next day aren't you?


Yes, I think the world will be a better place without obese individuals.

Najib Awarded ASEAN Transformational Leader Award

Tay [Asean Business Forum president] said that Najib, during his tenure as defence minister, went about transforming the Malaysian Armed Forces with his focus on total quality management.

As education minister, Najib oversaw the liberalisation of Malaysian education with his approvals for more private colleges and for initiating a new Education Act which many education ministers had attempted to introduce but were unable to do so, she said.

This calls for a ROFL.
C'mon you know you want to!

Well I did say I was going to give the poor guy a break, let him prove his mettle,
so I am, and am going to leave it at that.

Tolson : Who is the judge?

Debaters: The judge is God.

Tolson: Why is he God?

Debaters: Because he decides who wins or loses. Not my opponent.

Tolson: Who is your opponent?

Debaters: He does not exist.

Tolson: Why does he not exist?

Debaters: Because he is a mere dissenting voice of the truth I speak!

sad but true.

for those who don't read JeffOoi.com,



the latest political developments back home.

SCANDALOUS.

internal combustion.

and my mind wanders...........

think macro, think policies, think endogenous growth model please.

edit:
oh i just told off a fellow tram commuter for littering,
with a straight, no-nonsense, poker face.
and i've never felt better.
: )

breaking ranks.

its good to know that they are all not lap-dogs to the party, to certain authoritative figures. *ahem

go Encik Zaid, Dr Asri!

you inspire me.
really.

say no to using the ISA against civilians.
justice to the people.

: ))

and self-censorship?
its already out in the open, a ticking time-bomb,
discuss it in the open already.

the Malaysian government/police force should really stop with these knee-jerk reactions.

ignorante.

what a way to start my day.

sighums.
its disgusting, following the developments.

malaysian politicians are really good at sweeping problems under the carpet,
let it grow mouldy, resulting in an infestation.

instead of detaining the culprit,
here they go, trying to pacify the majority.

brainless dimwits or what?

i'm darn pissy right now.

blackblackheart.

social justice.

why does everything have to be written in black and white?
why is it that we have to be dictated by what's in the manual, and not what's from the heart.
why must we be taught to do good?or to do good for the fear of repercussions?

are there no more amongst us who are, so to speak 'inherently good'?

we legalise things too much.
it feels like there's so much emphasis on imposing social responsibility on others by way of law,
so what comes out is no longer a natural reaction.
bureaucrats really complicate things for us.

we need to go back to the basics people.

sigh, a sad state of affairs. back home, here, now.
human pride/in the name of championing the rights of others. at the expense of what our forefathers fought for 51 years ago.
hohumm.
politicians. serving self-interests. the same old story of broken promises.

God help us.

silver lining:
alone time at gloria jeans, with accounting notes, with no one but emiliana torrini for company.

ahh. bliss.

Part 1.

2007 in Pictures.

falling apart.

running, running,

as fast as we can.

running, no doubt.

identity theft?

what has happened to the days of the old?

the light at the end of the tunnel appears to dim.

a state of lawlessness prevails.

underhanded, double faced, conniving thieves.

so tempting to give in. so easy to just turn our backs and leave.

but i plead we you, and as a reminder to myself,

DON'T.
