Police Escort

Imagine this situation:


You are leisurely driving home after a hard day work, not much traffic on the road, listening to some good music from the radio, planning to quickly reach home to relax WHEN SUDDENLY a police bike came blaring its loud siren and screaming thru its speaker, asking you to move out of the way. The moment you move away, a convoy of luxury cars would zoom by, leaving a trail of dust for you. I'm sure most of us would have encountered such scenario. I had one experience recently and I used to get really irritated by it, especially during traffic jams, when you have to quickly manoeuvre your car out of the way. Thinking rationally, I should not be irritated because





Reason 1

Most of these people are VIPs or VVIPs of the country and they are the rich and powerful. Therefore time is extra valuable for these people. Every second spent is money opportunity lost. Example, it might be some minister rushing to a meeting to build more highways, to build more tolls and to award contracts. Of course they need to be quick. There are big money involved.



Reason 2

It is also a faster way to check out our lovely highways, thus reassuring themselves on a good job done. Having more assurance, its time to build more highways, award more contracts and to justify more toll increase.






Reason 3

We Malaysians love the rush hours. There is a camaraderie among the drivers during the long traffic jam. We care about the each other's family, especially our mother. Its a norm to see drivers screaming at each other asking about the welfare of our mothers. The VIPs are missing out on this, as they are being escorted through our daily traffic jam. What a waste.




Next time you see these VIPs being escorted, just moved out of the way and remember the 3 reasons above.

I Got Tagged!

I was tagged. Not sure what does that mean though. Guess I just need to follow the instructions given by my tagger "Zewt":

"You guys are supposed to answer the 3 bloggers-related questions and mention 3 weird things about yourself in your blog and then tag 5 other bloggers"

Kinda like those chain mails you get all the time. However not as bad as those chain mails insisting you to forward emails to at least 20 people so that luck would favour you. Failure to forward the email...will normally invite some predicament.

I just hate those chain mails claiming that some big companies are sponsoring the chain mails. The more emails you forward, the more $$$ you get. GROW UP PEOPLE!!! Mr. Bill PAGAR got tons of money, but he wont spent it like that! All these chain mails are just banking on peoples' kiasu-ness, the fear of missing out on luck or money. Are you one of them?

This is the first time I heard of Tagging. It is a good way of spreading coverage of unknown blogs. Well, I guess mine is one of the road less travelled on. :)

Better get it over with.

1) Who is the most wanted blogger you want to meet?

Same as Zewt, that person would be Raja Petra Kamarudin. Respect his guts and very curious on his source of information. Check out his posts in Malaysia Today for alternative news.

2) Who are the group of blogger you most wanted to meet?

Hmm, don't really read a lot of blogs and don't really know any group of blogger. Maybe the group of blogger from Malaysia Today.

3) Who is the “I can meet, want to meet but somehow never get to meet blogger’?

Wow! A confusing one. Maybe Kennysia. He is in Malaysia, so it is possible to meet him. Just want to know whether he is such a joker in real person, or is he having some Jeckle and Hyde character.

Now on to the weird things,

Weird Thing No 1
Every night, I need to drink exactly one and a half cups of water before I sleep. Don't ask me why. I just feel weird and uncomfortable if it is not done. Some might say that drinking water just before sleeping might lead to puffy eyes. Don't care!

Weird Thing No 2
Every time I cut my big toe nail (which can be dirty sometimes), I have a tendency to....smell it. Knowing very well it would be a stinker, I just have to take a sniff....ahhhh...

Weird Thing No 3
I'm a natural hoarder. Every little piece of receipt, name cards, credit cards, member cards, whatever cards are kept in my wallet. You will never know when you might need it. I even have two expired credit cards in there as well. Of course, this would result in a humongous wallet.

To finish up, I need to tag 5 other blogger (forgive me, i'm forced at gun point).

murmurer : come on, you got talent! blog away!
sWeetoMato : why the sudden stop?!
Aileen : Blog on!

Will update the balance later :P

Lastminute Valentine

Only one more day before Valentine. For the guys without any presents prepared at this moment....GOD bless you and have mercy on your soul.

But fear not! We are here to help!

If you dont have the time or money to get a gift, the least you could do is to get or make a nice card. Here are some tips for you last minute peeps:

• Dont send a blardy e-card. Doesnt show any sincerity at all. No gifts and only e-card... a sure death sentence for ya.
• Get a nice card to work on from any major bookstore or gift shops. Plenty of varieties to choose from BUT make sure you choose the right one. Make sure its a genuine Valentine card and not some congrats/wedding/birthday card.
• It would be much better if you can make your own card. Use your imagination, girls loves the efforts put in.
• Write or draw some lovey dovey stuff in it. Dont know how? Its a blessing that internet is available.
• Have some creativity and originality. A poem would be a nice inclusion. Try writing on your own, it shows your effort. No matter how lame it is, girls would just love em. However, if your idea of poem is like this....(please forget about it)

you're like the yesteryear bus mini
always there and value for money
big assets, thats my fantasy
always yelling masuk lagi masuk lagi!

• Plenty of poems from the net and take some time to choose a suitable one. If you still dont have the time....here is one example for ya. Just hope your girlfriend isnt reading this blog.

Winter nights, all dark and cold,
for many moons, ive been alone,
white are the snows, black is the night,
two color, thats what i know,

where art thou my little angel?
where art thou all this years?
will my prayers be heard?
will it be answered?

Yes it did, now that you're here,
a great artist with palettes of colour,
my life, your canvas now and forever,
colourful more than ever.

• Remember to use some nice pens (with colour if possible) to write. Dont have the budget to buy those fancy pens? No problem... just make sure you know what to write and go to the nearest stationary store. Use their sample pens. :D

Good luck and have a great Valentine's Day!

Car Number Plates

Malaysian are obsessed with numbers. We would pay through our noses just to get the perfect car number and thats good news for our Transport Department (JPJ). They have suckers like us paying HUGE money for those numbers.

Number plates with 8s or 4s would normally cost a bomb. Much higher if it is only with single digit numbers. I wonder how much is paid for those numero uno car plates. We would definately associate any car with number 1 on it to some VVIP.

I have seen some cute ones though. These are people with such creative flair that they manipulate the numbers to look like words. Examples:

POL15 = polis
MAF14= mafia

Wonder how much they paid for that...

If you dont have that kind of money to pay for fancy numbers, well, fear not, Im here to help. The following are numbers that I think you could get at dirt cheap price


DUM8 : Its single digit, its number 8, good trade off if ppl thought you were DUMB!

KUL47 : If you are a fan of fungus... KULAT

WTF XXXX: Any number would do...it has WTF! in it. If you can, try getting 4550 and customised it to look like WTF ASS O

COL1 : If you are in the Bra business, this is a good car plate for ya!

BAB1: I wonder whether any VVIP will be taking this. Suits some of them though :) . But its a good one for anyone in the pork industry or plainly love the pig.

TAH1: Not sure if the Indah Water boss has taken this plate number. Would you want it? Its with numbero uno!.

Last but not least, the best among all....

need I say more?

The Longest Name

Came across an article about the official longest name in the U.K

The UK 's Deed Poll Services mentioned that a 23 yr old James Bond fan has officially changed his name from David Fearn to

"James Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger Thunderball You Only Live Twice On Her Majesty's Secret Service Diamonds Are Forever Live And Let Die The Man With The Golden Gun The Spy Who Loved Me Moonraker For Your Eyes Only Octopussy A View To A Kill The Living Daylights Licence To Kill Golden Eye Tomorrow Never Dies The World Is Not Enough Die Another Day Casino Royale Bond"

Thats basically the name of all Bond movies till date. Talk about obsessions! His reasoning was
"I wanted to be James Bond and now I am. It's the ultimate fantasy"

Well brother, good luck to ya! I wonder how is he going to introduce himself. Imagine him going to some pub and after a few drinks a hot chick came in. He walks over and introduce himself

James: Hi!
Chick: Hi!
James: Im James Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger Thunderball You Only Live Twice On Her Majesty's Secret Service Diamonds Are Forever....errr errr wait...
i think it is James Dr No From Russia With Love The Spy Who Loved Me Moonraker For Your Eyes Only Octopussy A View To A Kill...errr...i cant remember..
Chick: Crazy fella (and walks off)


If he is working, imagine how tedious it would be to fill up forms. I dont think there would be enought space for his name. :)

If he is still schooling, he better make sure he dont break any rules. The cruelest form of punishment from a teacher......


"WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE BOARD FOR 100 TIMES!!! YOU BLARDY NAUGHTY KID!! "
