Theme : Gangstas & Divas

… on second thoughts, I shouldn’t insult the bovine species.

Man, setting up this thing exactly the way I want it is taking more work than I thought!

Aiyoh! I’m taking so long to do up my new site! Bleh…

No time! No tiiimmmeee!!!!

We were watching Travel & Living the other day and there was a segment on Greece.

Me : I wanna visit Greece one day. And Italy.
CL : Athens is in Italy, rite?
*Me and sis looked at him blankly.
Me : Err, Athens is in Greece la.
CL : Eh? Where’s the Colosseum then?
Me : That’s in Rome la!
CL : Oooohhhh, I meant to say Rome! Heh…

Farney. Hehe.

What kind of boss, upon hearing that her staff are practically suffocating from noxious glue fumes due to renovation works, tells her staff to email the property admin people because she “isn’t THERE (i.e. on the same floor) to smell the fumes”?

What kind of boss, upon exiting the elevator on the said floor where the renovation works are taking place, takes a whiff of the paint fumes and flees back down to the safety of her own room and even utters “I don’t know how you all can tahan the smell. I cannot tahan!”

And does NOTHING to try to temporarily relocate her staff to a less hazardous work area until the renovation works are completed?

Which resulted in one staff having to be given emergency oxygen due to constricted airways from breathing in the glue fumes (and is now forced to take steroid pills to expand her airways) and another having severe headaches from the same. The doctor has even ordered the said staff who encountered breathing difficulties to NOT enter the office in the next few days lest her breathing problems recur.

Yep, that’s the type of boss that I have.

Welcome to the world where the boss couldn’t care less about his/her staff’s well-being and deserts his/her employees when it suits him/her.

Yay for me.

Bleh…

I was at the Tmn. Tun pasar malam yesterday evening to look for my favourite boiled peanuts. As I was walking along, I passed by a few vendors selling meat – chicken, beef, and I don’t know what else as I wasn’t looking and trying to pass by as fast as I could (I don’t like the meat stalls, for its smell and sight of raw meat). Then I noticed a most revolting sight. At one of the beef vendors, there was a full head of cow in the middle of the table! It wasn’t a skinned head of cow; it was the complete head of cow, with it’s bits of fur visible!

Yeck!! I know they are selling beef; is there a need to display the dead animal’s head to drive the point to potential customers what they are selling?

Yucks… I coulnd’t find my boiled peanuts vendor so I did an about-turn and left. After seeing the cow’s head, I quite lost my appetite for anything.

Another quite revolting sight, in my opinion, is the suckling pig served at Chinese restaurants. For those who are not familiar, the suckling pig is a Chinese delicacy, which is actually a piglet, roasted until it’s flesh and skin is crispy and golden brown. Read here for more description. So, these restaurants would serve this dish on a large plate, chopped up into rectangular bite-sized pieces and arranged to form a shape of a flattened pig on the plate, complete with its head and hooves, all cooked of course.

Each time I see this dish being served (usually its a mid-course dish), it would turn me off the rest of the dinner coz I just feel so sorry for the piglet. I mean, it’s just a baby. And piglets, to me, are pink bundles of cuteness (I haven’t seen one up close). And for it to end up on the dinner table before it had a chance to grow up is quite sad. And to make matters worse, it is served with its head staring back at you at the dinner table. Bleck.

Same thing goes with lamb. But at least, they don’t serve lamb dishes with its head on the plate.

No, I don’t eat pork, beef, lamb, mutton, venison, ostrich meat or any other meat except for fish, some seafood and very rarely, chicken.

By choice, not for any religious reasons.

… and that’s being very generous.

…sexual predators do not just decide to rape. They could be encouraged by their environment every day of seeing sexily dressed women. So I feel that it is better that women dress decently.

I am just voicing my personal opinion that women should not dress indecently as this could create lustful feelings in men.

Women who dressed indecently were also sexually harassing men.

~Shahbudin Yahaya (BN-Permatang Berangan), state Islamic Religious Council President (quoted from TheSun, Friday, May 25 2007).


I’ve never paid attention to politics in the country until recently, where there have been so many ludicrous happenings in our Parliament/Cabinet sessions and the way the government is handling various issues in the country. It’s quite difficult to ignore them when they are in the headlines every single day. Really, I didn’t know our government is so happening, man!

So apparently, according to that man named above, it is women’s responsibility to ensure that we do not create lustful feelings in men. OK, so this is not the first time our Stone-Age MPs have made such sexist remarks. Nor would they be the last, seeing that these same types of morons keep getting elected into office.

First of all, I think this fella has tremendously little self control, if he says that just seeing a sexily dressed woman will make him lustful. Which is quite ironic seeing that he IS the state Islamic Religious Council President. I thought among all people, all these religious leaders are supposed to be role models to their followers, and as such, be able to resist temptations more easily than an average man. Well, to be fair, he didn’t say that HE would be lustful but men in general, but then again, he must’ve had some experience since he made the remark and he must’ve made the remark based on some evidence, right?

Secondly, everyone has their own definition of sexy and decent dressing. A man who’s in the “lustful” state of mind, would probably think a tudung-clad, baju kurung-wearing female is sexy. Just look at the number of rape/molest cases and what the victims were wearing they were sexually assaulted.

Seriously, I just feel like slapping all these stupid MCP MPs. OK, that was a very childish comment but really, I feel like they just need a good whacking coz they don’t have the brains/common sense (see, no common sense again! It’s like a trend these days) to think logically. So talking like civilized adults just won’t work with them coz all of them are led by their dicks.

Geez, from the bocor issue, to comparing the dilapidated state of the Parliament with the looks of a 50-year-old woman, to comparing new brides with toilets, our MPs are such a joke.

Hey people! You want to see clowns in action??? Come to Malaysia and just listen to our MPs talk!

**********

Oh Oh… guess what? Our govt. has decided to hire someone to help teach M’sians how to keep toilets clean! (TheSun, Friday, May 25 2007, Pg. 25) Woopee! We are a developing nation with the world’s tallest building (at one point in time) and the biggest this and longest that, but we don’t know how to keep our toilets clean so we need someone to teach us how to do it! Hahahahahah! *falls off chair laughing*

I don’t think I’ll ever understand the general M’sian psyche. I don’t really want to, coz that would probably mean I’m like them (God forbid!) but it would be so much easier to understand why they choose not to use practical, common sense in their daily lives.

Don’t get me wrong; I do NOT think that I’m better than everyone else. Far from it, actually. But I do think that I have more common sense than the average Joe on the street, judging from the incidents that I’ve seen/been through.

For example, if you want to kill yourself while pumping gas with your vehicle engine running, should any accident occur (God forbid!), by all means, go ahead. Go find a gas station that’s completely empty and you can pump all the gas you want with your engine running and risk killing yourself. Fine, go ahead. But when there are tons of people around you (especially me, right in front of you, minding my own business and pumping my gas), I do think it’s rather selfish for you to be happily pumping your gas away with your vehicle engine running, without consideration at all for the rest of the patrons of the gas station, not to mention the employees there. Although I haven’t heard of anyone getting killed YET while pumping gas with his/her vehicle engine running, I’m not willing to take the risk. There’s a reason why the list of PRECAUTIONs are pasted near each kiosk i.e. Don’t Smoke, Shut off your vehicle engine and mobile phone, etc. etc. So simply instructions also cannot follow, is it? It takes a lot of effort for you to just twist your ignition to the OFF position, is it?? PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE, thank you very much.

I’m not sorry if I’ve offended my friends who do pump gas with their vehicle engines running. Seriously, it’s your life and the lives of people around you. Like your girlfriend or wife, sitting in the passanger seat of your car. Or your parents in the back seat. Or your friends in both the passenger and back seats. Yeah yeah, I sound preachy but nothing drives home the fact that LIFE IS SHORT like knowing someone who got killed in an accident that could’ve been so easily prevented.


Another so so simple common sense thing that people don’t do, I don’t get. You know there are markers around a parking space, right? Sometimes they are rectangles, sometimes they are the corner borders. You do know that you are supposed to park WITHIN the rectangle or within the corner borders, right? What??!! You’re saying you don’t know?! Then why the hell do you think those rectangles/borders are there for?! Decoration, is it???? DBKL got nothing to do, they go paint rectangles on the roads is it??? Your condo management collect all your maintenance fees just to draw ugly rectangles around your condo compound for fun, is it???

Gawd! So infuriating! Just now I came back from class and found that the stupid fella who parks his/her car next to my space, makan into MY parking area! And you know what? This is not the bloody first time! What I normally do is that I would park oh-so-very-close to the fella, just to be in my box. If he scratches my car also never mind. As long as the fella has great difficulty getting into his car, padan muka! This time, I sooooo wanted to write on a big piece of paper “PLEASE PARK WITHIN YOUR SPACE”. In fact, I was looking for a blank piece of A4 paper in my car but couldn’t find So I thought I’d go upstairs and get some paper but as I was walking back, I thought twice and decided not to. The ONLY reason why I didn’t do it was coz I didn’t want to give them any reason to retaliate and start complaining about us feeding the stray cats. Which is another long story altogether so I’m not going to even start on that (but I think I already did that in a previous post, haha).

Even more infuriating is when you’re at a crowded mall carpark and you notice a free space from afar but when you get there, you see why no one has taken the spot. It’s coz the stupid bugger parked in the next space decided that his car is soooo grand, it has to take TWO parking spaces!

So there you go. Two of many many incidents where M’sians (this is a generalization based on numerous firsthand-witnessed cases) do not display an ounce of common sense.

I think I should just stop trying to figure it out. Waste my brain cells only.

Hmph.

M’sian drivers have no common sense and courtesy whatsoever!! GAAAAAHHH!! Yes, I know this topic has been written/discussed to death but REALLY!

If you see someone ahead of you giving an indicator that s/he wants to merge into the left or right lane, you give way to the person, no? At least, I do… if s/he gives the indicator early enough and not last minute.

So there I was, I had to do a U-turn under the flyover near Dynasty Hotel and turn an immediate left after that. So I had already indicated before I finished my U-turn and I made it out of the U-turn before any other vehicles came from other directions. But this bunch of bikes coming from the opposite direction (the traffic lights had just turned green), they just wouldn”t give way! HALLO! I’d already indicated! And I reached the road before YOU morons did! Buta is it???? What else do you expect me to do?????!!! Some more dare to honk at me!! WTF, man!

Bloody morons/assholes/idiots/nincompoops/bastards.

GAAAAAAHHHH!!! So angry. Some more so early in the morning. Spoil my day only.

GGRRRRRR!!!
