In the star today...

Not many motorists flying the national flag

PENANG: Deputy Information Minister Datuk Ahm@d Z@hid H@midi has described the lack of commitment shown by motorists in flying the mini Jalur Gemilang on their vehicles this year as “frustrating.”

He reckoned that the only reason for motorists not flying the Jalur Gemilang was that they were expecting the Government to supply it to them free of charge. >>>>> typical... hehehe... people are more willing to spend over RM8 for ciggies or lipsticks but never below RM5 for a national flag. its sooooo wrong !

“I don't see any other reason that they cannot spend about RM3 to buy a mini flag and fly it on their vehicles,'' he told reporters after attending a dinner for 350 bikers who are taking part in the Merdeka Adventure Convoy at the Tanjung City Marina yesterday. >>>> yazid is one of the rider. proud to know i know someone involved :-)

Ahm@d Z@hid said the response should be overwhelming this year compared to the previous years as the nation was celebrating its 50th year of Independence.

“Instead, the response in the previous years was comparatively much better,'' he said. >>>>> and LAST YEAR'S wasn't an encouraging and supportive sight either !

He added that he was happy with the commitment shown by the local governments, business premises and schools in flying the Jalur Gemilang. >>>>> my thoughts in an earlier post *wink*

I thought ahead of the Ministry. Maybe i should run for politics... NEVER ! Peeps, lings, hoohaa crew and all, wave it up. C'mon !

Wrong number...

I don’t understand when people dial a wrong number, and the receiver kindly said ‘you got a wrong number’, why can’t the dialer be kind enough to give a simple reply like ‘Oh sorry. Thank you.’

It so happen I get people wrongly calling my number and without fail, every time I say ‘wrong number’, they will abruptly put down the phone. To begin with, they called me, and just because it wasn’t me they want, can they apologize rather than slamming down the phone in such manner?? So what, you press wrongly and I’m not going to bite your head off ! I made an effort to lift my wrist, find my phone, pressed the answer button (or slide the phone… whatever) and these nincompoop callers can’t even be courteous and admit a minimal wrong calling ??!!

Even cats purred for apologies (or any sort of pets you may own and a smartass), why cant we human…

Shame on you wrong-caller-hang-ups !

Wave it up y'al...

In conjunction of Malaysi@’s 50 years of Merdeka, I thought I show a bit of patriotism and mount a flag on my car top to wave my nationalism since Aug 20th up til end of Merdeka celebration on Sep 17th.

I feel proud to flag it around town and contribute to the excitement but sad to see the lukewarm responses from the people. Obviously big giant companies contribute massively to show their respect for the celebration and also it’s an obligatory commitment but individually… we’re lacking personal gratitude and appreciation for our forefathers and ancestors that help fought for our better living today. Put aside we are excelling at the expense of other and at times, unnecessary development but aren’t we lucky that we are not in midst or war, depression and possession of others? At least we have our own country. At least we are not being dominated by foreign confiscation. At least we have our own nationality – Malaysi@n.

Our surrounding environment, competition and accelerating development made us forget our true self that’s worth cherishing inevitably and it’s taking away our fundamental values. We have lost our sense of nationalism, partisanship, devotion and pride and reluctantly I know I’m one of them too.

So as a start, or at a nano-effort, I wave my flag coz I am grateful and relieved to know, own homeland has been in independence for 50 years and I hope for more years to come.

Having said that, the flag flew off the highway on my way to work this morning and I need to get me a new one but the point is y’al, come wave the flag with me. Fill the streets with pride and joy and no prejudice.

BBQ frenzy...

I had a wonderful getaway to PD on Sat although we got there about 8pm and got the bbq started an hour later. Imagine bbq-ing on the beach, in a private corner, with the wind and sea breezing through the nite. Lovely !

Didn’t get the chance to dip in the pool nor the sea coz it rained the next day. If I had awakened before noon, I could have. Nonetheless, nothing to remorse about coz I had a gay-o time.

Gay as in really happy not ‘happy’ ok... hehehehe…

It’s never about the place, it’s the people you are with that makes the experience invaluable and worthwhile. My bro-in-law coincidently was at the same resort too so I was keeping alert if I need to ducked down if I see him…hehehe… bukan buat apa2 haram pun :-“

We basically eat, drink, chat, sing, laugh, eat, drink and sleep the whole time. Perfect !

Yus was addicted to burned some more charcoal so we had another bbq at home ! The kids were ecstatic coz it was their first. Maybe next time we’ll go for an outdoor bbq-ing.

I love weekends. Weekends love me too *wink*

You risk it...

Sometimes we are destined to do great things in an unjust industry. No matter how hard we tried moving away from it, we still ended up prospering in the same line with unsure discourse if it would be for the best or worst.

You can’t predict betterment and you only see the icing on the cake and no clue whatsoever if the cake taste yummy and irresistible as the icing. What you do know and do have is Risk. So what do you do when you know there’s a risk but you don’t know if this is the future you want to make for yourself???

Upcoming Glory 'us' Weekend...

Ok ok enough of melodramatic emotional devastation. Life goes on… yadayadayada…

This Sat, insyallah, I’m off to PD to celebrate a friend’s 30th plus bday (ehehehehe… I’m giving you credit Ajx *wink*) at Gl0ry Beach. Never been there but highly recommended by Zul that it’s a decent place to stay (who last went there 2 years ago!). Board and ride covered by the bday boy himself.

Alhamdullillah kekawan murah hati semua :-D

So if anyone fancy, we’ll be going late noon Sat and back on Sun. Holler if you pass by ! Better still, just come and join us !

What's the odd of anyone coincidently passing PD when everyone is in KL…hehehe…

A morning thought...

My desperation has grown more than before. Maybe because there’s been a lot of changes around and I don’t see me growing anywhere from my stance. Friends are there and I’m glad that part of my life is revolving healthily but my hours are spend more at work and it takes up most of my waking hours and honestly, I’m having a battle with myself for doing what I always wanted and rebelling not to do it no further more. Maybe I’m feeling like this because financially, I’m still at the edge of none and all the hard work don’t seem worth it. Maybe I need to figure out what will make me happy. Actually I know what will. It’s just that, it would be bold and may hurt some feelings along the way just so I am content. God knows best. I wish I know it too.

Just when...

When two people get together it’s because they are comfortable with each others. They start spending a lot of time with one another and became a reliable relief centre during all topsy turvy.

Sometimes one tends to become dependable on the other that when they’re not doing things together, you feel somewhat lost and in someplace somewhere deserted. It took a lot of effort and time spent to make the other feel equally dependable just so you have that someone you can always rely on and will always be with you.

So when things started to change, and you just don’t want it to change, you get all upset and wish you didn’t allow yourself getting into that predicament in the beginning. Then, your whole world seems to crash down on you one at a time. And you just lose it. Your confidence, your optimism, your perseverance just don’t cut it.

At that moment, you knew, there’s a reason for every mishap and there is such thing as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

I just wish the distance to it, doesn’t take eternity.

NOW, WHO THE HELL UNDERSTANDS MEN?

"Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with."

Sickness go away...

Here I am again, sick but at home, blowing my nose off and getting occasional sweats because since Fri I’ve been unwell and yesterday it gotten worst. Temperature was 39.5C and humongous amount of tissues were disposed since yesterday morning. Cant help but to check if there’s any urgent issue at work so am checking my email now. Ain’t anything worth me fretting over, alhamdullillah. I hate this feeling. My whole body is aching and is breathing through mouth instead of god given nose. Was worried if the doctor would admit me again last nite but he told me to come in 2 days if it doesn’t subside in case of dengue.

I hope it won’t get to that. The cough med is making me drowsy… zzzzzzzzzzz…

J@net @ Sanctuary

A visit to someone’s blog that continuously wrote about his daily ‘durian’ feast made me crave for the same too. So I got some packs from Giant and indulged it for 2 days.

Of coz I know I’m in the verge of recovery from tonsillitis, of coz I pretended not to know ‘durian’ is heaty and could effect my tonsil, of coz I think I’ve strong immune system, and of coz I got sick right after !

Although I felt a shy bit feverish with nano-size headache and mediocre-size tonsil swelling, I still went to Sanctuary to meet the peeps. I haven’t gad with a couple of them 7 years back so it was a good crowd. Thanx to M1ck, J@net Kho0 was in our crowd too. She looked better in person. They met up for dinner and Yus asked them to join and next thing you know, she was toasting ciggie and glass with us all. Of coz, when she walked in, the guys automatically turned to a-15 years old-boys trying to woo a hot chix attention and looked really stooped doing it too ! hehehehe… it was a priceless nite. Not because of J@net but the guys were simply amusing.

My weekend had a different state of affairs to Fri nite. It was very educative, an eye-opener and religious and until today, my fever and flu is still close to my health.

Heard this coming Fri, another one or two celebrities may chill but with a celebrity or not, it will be an eventful priceless nite every time ain’t it peeps *wink*

Lazy Sunday…

It has been ages since I stayed in bed from morning until night and becomes a bed-potato watching DVD and ate on bed.

I never felt so relaxed in my entire life. If life continued to be this blissful… darn… I don’t know what I’ll do. So used living a hectic lifestyle, I don’t know how it would feel having so much time for myself and doing things I like.

In desperation for a change, for something worthwhile. Somebody help me please !!

Menopause the mu$ical…

Noticed the poster at BSC few months back. Was interesting to watch it then but of coz no one wants to go with me especially paying about menopause. Well, luckily my network still intact that I was offered complimentary tix for Sat nite show. So holler my freeloading peeps and 8 of us went including my sis and bro. It was hilariously funny. It was an extended show held in Putrajaya.

There were numerous of non-operative buildings at Precinct 3. What a waste of the nations’ money.

The show was splendid and I think one of the casts acted in League of their 0wn. She looked like it.

Right after, my sis and bro, meng, ila and yus headed to Zul Y@hya restaurant in sect. 13 coz my sister wanted to see him in person. He’s actually better looking off-screen and I always liked seeing him actually mending his restaurant. Respect him in that sense.

Anyhoot, fun time with siblings and friends ! It will be a long long time until that ever happen again :-D

Baby D…

My niece has gone eccentric when she cried and begged for medicine because SHE THINKS she’s sick. No matter what everyone else said, she insisted she was sick. Asked her if she felt numbed or throat hurt, she wailed and said she’d fever.

Truly a drama princess ! If only she’s not so shy in front strangers, I can train her to be a kid actress so then mama has some extra dough in.

On the contrary, Dira could turn to Lindsay L0han with prison case and all. Aiks !

*This happened a week ago. Yesterday she was really sick but forgotten about it when she played with her sisters but when you asked her, instantly she give her melodramatic sick face. Is that adorable or what !
