Creativity Rules!

Are you a creative person? Is creativity a talent too?

I believe so. Creativity is gifted, if you have it, you have it. If you don't, you don't. Got it? Here are some of the award winning advertisements which I received from a friend. I think they are awesome! The people who created these ads are so damn good!

Somewhere over the ......

Somewhere over the....there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby....If there is such a place where the impossible become possible, will you go?

Have you heard of this place called the 'Bolehland'? Yes, this is a place where everything is possible. I came across this place quite sometime ago and I've decided that I should start spreading some news about this wonderful place!

Here are some of the incredible (but true) stories from this land of make believe, Bolehland. Bolehland is a country far, far away where everything is possible, where the strange and unbelievable is actually everyday life, where anyone with the proper connections can get away with anything, and where the words “accountability”, “fair”, “just” do not exist. All the stories are taken from the Bolehland mainstream media so they must be true.

1. All chairmen must fly first class for the sake of subordinates

This a direct quotation from a former mentri besar (chief minister) who is alleged to have spent RM1.7 million on “study trips” to places like Disneyland during the holiday season. I’m sure this former MB learnt a lot from his “study trips” since we know when he came back, he never builds anything close to resembling Disneyland. Anyway, back to the quote. When asked about the huge amount spent on the trips, e.g. first-class tickets, this is what he had to say: “You must remember when I was the (PNSB) chairman. I have my entitlement. If I were to reduce my entitlement to what an officer gets then what is the officer going to reduce to? I am the chairman. There is the deputy chairman, board of directors, government officers going along. If I fly business class (not first class), then what happens to my state secretary? He will complain. If I am travelling alone it is easier. But I am travelling with a group of people and if I downgrade myself — it’s a problem for the others.” So there you have it. Airlines have first class in order to help those below the chairman’s post get business class. You cannot have a chairman flying coach or business class otherwise what will his subordinates think? He will lose the respect of his subordinates in addition to forcing them to fly coach. In Bolehland, the most important thing is protocol and entitlements. This is the reason why there are so many applicants who want to be politicians. If you are a VVIP, you must be in first class or not go at all. How dare you expect politicians to sit in economy. Economy is for taxpayers like you and me.

2. You are only poor if you don’t have a TV or Astro

According to the NST, the Welfare Department says if you have a TV or Astro, then you do not qualify for government aid since you are not “hardcore poor”. The department bars the disabled from getting welfare aid if they have Astro or a television set at home. The rule applies even if one lives in someone else's house, temporarily or otherwise. In one case, a disabled 40-year-old, paralysed from the neck downwards, who lives with her partly-paralysed mother, was afraid of getting a TV and Astro connection after being warned by a welfare officer that they would cut aid to them if she did so.

This is the first time I have heard that in Bolehland having a TV is considered to be “rich”. Nevermind that a new small TV nowadays cost less than RM200. You can also get a second hand one for free in some charity shops. In the case of the disabled, what do the authorities in Bolehland want them to do? Sit around and stare at the wall all day long? The answer is “yes” because if they stare at a TV, they are no longer poor.

3. The “best best boss” can be found in Bolehland

What is the best company to work for in Bolehland? The answer is Maika Holdings. And how do I know that? Simple, read what happened at an inquest in the death of an Indian actress, Sujatha, who died last year. This actress also worked as a PA to the boss of Maika. To cut the story short, during the inquest it was revealed that the boss of Maika, who is also the son of a VVIP, just loved to look after his employees. He gave this actress RM200,000 in cash for her apartment, funding for medical treatment and education, and also for her two brothers’ education in Australia. The boss also acted as the guarantor for the hire-purchase loan which Sujatha took out to purchase a Mazda RX8 sports car. He also took her for a holiday in Perth.

Wow, I wish to nominate the boss of Maika for Bolehland’s “Best Best Boss” award for his undying kindness and welfare of his employees. Is Maika hiring? I’m sure millions of workers are lining up to join. With a boss like this, there will never be any issue of strikes, unhappiness in the workplace, fake MCs, days off, etc. Malaysian workers will be the envy of the world.

4. If you don’t report it, it does not exist

There is one company in Bolehland that owns all the private free-to-air TV stations. Apparently, one of the big bosses in this company, MP, sent out an email telling the editorial staff that they cannot report that some VVIP and his wife might be involved in a Mongolia murder case. Thus if it is not reported, then it is clear that there are no links, and therefore there is no case. Who says you cannot make things disappear? Who cares if the international press has all gone to town with the same story.

There you have it, believe it or not? It's all up to you!

Now now Jackie, what's wrong with you?

After sparking an uproar with his speech at the Annual Boao Forum in Hainan (Chinese people need to be controlled), Jackie Chan has landed in yet another situation. At this same forum he said that Singaporeans have no self respect?

He was reportedly as having said, "Sometimes I wonder why I can't eat chewing gum in Singapore. Then I think it's actually right not to eat chewing gum. If I let you eat chewing gum, those people will leave them on tables and chairs. They have no self-respect."

"A lot of people are not like those in USA and Japan who voluntarily have self-respect, the government will have to control you. In Singapore, you have to abide by Singapore's regulations. In China you can litter, in Singapore, try littering and you will be jailed immediately"

I wonder what kind of speech is this? Who in the right mind will say something like this? Jackie, you're sure we can litter in China? And still have self-respect? In Singapore, we'll be jailed immediately because the government there wants to teach us some self-respect which we do not have? And no chewing gum for Singaporeans because they do not have self-respect? And people in USA and Japan voluntarily have self-respect? So their government need not control them? A free country with no rules or law? What crap is this?

OMG Jackie! Do you know what you are talking about? What are you trying so hard to prove? That you know better than others? You are proving otherwise. If this is not what you meant, then what do you mean? I am just an ordinary person and I do not read between lines. More speeches like these will definitely get you far, further away from our society and nearer to the other world!


Hey Jackie, take control of yourself and have a little self-respect.

What the hell!

If you have received this email from someone and you have watched this video, I'm sure you will agree with me!

Totally inhuman, heartless, insane or just plain EVIL!




What would you do if it's your child? I think I would bash this person up! Don't care if I go to jail and don't care if I'll get sued. It's just ain't no way to treat my baby! Or any baby!

No Sex?

Here is a piece of not so common news from the Star, today.

I never had sex with wife, claims Roslin

Compiled by LEE YUK PENG, NURBAITI HAMDAN

NATIONAL badminton player Muhammad Roslin Hashim, who is embroiled in a bitter divorce case, admitted that he never had sex with his wife Faizah Mohammad during their 12-day marriage.

Harian Metro! reported that Muhammad Roslin was willing to swear on his admission that he had never touched Faizah when challenged by her lawyer Musa Awang at the Syariah Court in Petaling Jaya.

Reporters were then asked to leave the courtroom after Muhammad Roslin willingly agreed to swear.

Answering Musa’s questions, Muhammad Roslin said he was sane and aware when he pronounced talak (intention to divorce).

When asked about the reason to divorce, he replied: “Not compatible.”

Hmmm, I wonder what have they been doing for the 12 long days and nights? Did he say during the 12 days of marriage? What about before their marriage? Is this an arranged marriage? Okay I'm just trying to imagine a man and woman staying or sleeping together for 12 days without ....?? Unless he or she is....?? Just curious!

Do they look unhappy to you?

Talent

Singers, actresses/actors, musicians, dancers, artists, designers etc. Are these people talented? They should be, if they want to make it big! Although some might not need to be, advertising and promotion plays a big part sometimes.

Talent is inborn? A talented person is somehow talented in many ways? Do you agree?
I somehow believe so. Talented people are somehow special, they do not need to learn things by hard. It is just in their blood, if that's how we want to put it. It's a natural thing to them, like how we learn to walk? If you have legs, that is.

So, how does it feel like to be talented in certain things or many things? I think, "GREAT!" I wished I was talented in something, anything? Hmmmm....

But, talent does not come with a complete package I guess. Imagine someone who is talented or multi-talented, pretty/handsome, tall, slim/hunky, good-hearted, patient, gentle, down to earth....wow! Anyone? Maybe? Please let me know?

Meanwhile, here are a few talented people that I come to know of from canonmalaysians. You might want to take a look at their talents.

And...the not so talented one...Simon says, "If you haven't got it, you haven't got it!" How true...

Costly!


So, BN may not contest in the Penanti by-election knowing very well that it would be a 'sheer waste' of public funds? Meaning?? If you know you are going to lose don't waste your time, energy and keep your money for other better things! How thoughtful of them.

Come to think of it, why are we spending so much money on by-elections? Is the money spent really necessary?

Total of RM33.4 million for 5 by-elections?
Please help me out here, I don't understand and I cannot comprehend how it could come up to this amount. Especially the amount spent on the police enforcement services.

Let's take Bukit Gantang for example, a total of 55,471 registered voters. 7 million spent on the Police Force. I'll just do a simple estimated calculation here.

If we need 1 policeman for every 10 people ( in case there's a riot?) we will have to deploy 5,547 police officers to that area. Out of this number maybe 800 are locals? So we need 4,747 officers from out of town. Now, we need food, transportation, lodging and outstation allowance for these officers. For a week?

Food – 3 meals/day – RM10/meal = RM30/day/officer -

RM142,410.00 x 7 = RM 996,870

Lodging – (standard hotel room on twin sharing basis)

RM50/pax - RM237,350.00 x 6 = RM1,424,100

Outstation allowance – RM50/day/officer,

estimated based on average RM900/month salary calculation

at 1.5x OT rate.

RM237,350.00 x 7 = RM1,661,450

Transportation - by coaches RM1500/coach, 25 seater

190 coaches x RM1000 = RM 285,000

Total RM4,367,420



Okay, 4.36 million spent on the extra 4,747 police officers needed for the by-election. But can you imagine these officers coming in in executive coaches instead of police trucks, staying in hotels instead of hostel or apartments? I only spend RM10 per day for my meal (ok I'm quite stingy) but I'm sure RM30 a day is quite a substantial sum. Aren't they supposed to live modestly? More over they are on duty, not on vacation! Or maybe they are the innocent ones? (please tell me you are? You are the scape goats here, aren't you?)

Wait, what happened to the balance RM2.6 million? Spent on temporary base tents, electricity bills soars due to 24 hours of air condition usage (they might not know how to operate generators, so they need TNB to pull temp. electric cables?) Please, correct me if I'm wrong! I wished I were! Can someone enlighten me on this?

Finally, may I see some photos of the 5,547 police officers standing or sitting somewhere, anywhere in Bukit Gantang? No? Then, what RM7 million?

Heal the World!

Came across this 'Wonder Solution' and I thought... WOW! This is amazing!

This wonder solution is actually 'garbage enzyme'. The word 'enzyme' brings me back to my bio class once upon a time when I learnt that enzymes are biomolecules that help to catalyse (increase the rate of) chemical reactions and they are mostly protein. (If you want to know more please go to 'wikipedia' as I do not intend to give a lecture on biology here nor am I expert enough to do so).

So, what is this 'garbage enzyme'?

Garbage enzyme is a complex solution produced by fermentation of fresh kitchen waste (fruits and vegetables dregs), sugar (brown sugar, jaggery or molasses sugar) and water. It is dark brown and has a strong sweet sour fermented scent. Garbage enzyme is a multipurpose liquid and its applications covers household, agriculture, animal husbandry etc. Garbage enzyme is developed by Dr. Rosukon from Thailand. She has been actively involved in enzyme research for more than 30 years and encourages people to make garbage enzyme at home to ease global warming.

Isn't this amazing! Garbage enzyme to the rescue of our Earth by easing global warming! How?

From day one you start making garbage enzyme, its catalyses process will release ozone gas (O3). O3 can reduce carbon dioxide (C02) in the atmosphere and heavy metal that traps heat in the cloud. Hence heat can be released from the Earth, reducing greenhouse and global warming effects. Enzyme convert ammonia to nitrate (NO3), a natural hormone and nutrient for plants. Meanwhile it converts carbon dioxide to carbonate (C03) which is beneficial to sea plants and marine life.

Ain't this fantastic! So the more garbage enzyme we produce, the better it will be for Earth!

And the usage for this wonder solution...

  • Multiple usage:
    • Natural household cleaner; air purifier; deodoriser; insecticide; detergent; body care; car care: organic fertiliser, etc
  • Reduce pollution:
    • Methane gas released from disposed garbage can trap 21 times more heat than CO2, worsen the global warming condition.
  • Purify air:
    • Remove odour. Dissolve toxic air released from smoking, car exhaust, chemical residues from household products, etc.
  • Purity underground water:
    • Enzyme that flow underground will eventually purify the river and the sea.
  • Natural pesticides:
    • Reduce mosquitoes. flies, rats or cockroaches etc.
  • Anti-bacterial and virus:
    • Natural antiseptic for your home.
  • Prevent drainpipe blockage:
    • Release residues accumulated in the pipe of basins or toilet bowls.
  • Save money:
    • Turn kitchen waste to DIY natural house-hold cleaners.
(Credits goes to Dr. Rosukon and Dr.(H) Joean Onn for sharing this valueble knowledge)

Hey, if these are not good enough to convince me...what else can? Save our money, save our environment, save Earth, save ourselves!

What are we waiting for? Let's do it! Let's help heal the world! And this is how...

Back at it again?

It sucks, but someone had to do it. That someone in this case is ME!

Yes, I'm learning how to solve the Rubik's cube, again. Because....I've forgotten how! It's like taking your driving license all over again after you stopped driving for 10 years? Damn! I really don't like this but I did it anyway.

Now I'm back at it again, playing with the cube whenever I can. In the toilet, in the car, on my bed. I have to. No other choice, thanks to my not so smart brain.

Now that I've got it, I hope I won't loose it again! No, no, no, never again!



I have to post this picture to help lift my spirit up a little. He is just too awesome!


Saturday, April 4, 2009

I've lost it!

Oh no! I've forgotten how to do it! What?

The Rubik's Cube!

I was watching TV when I spotted the cube on my table. I grabbed the cube and tried to solve it only to realize that I couldn't! What the f*@#! How could I have lost it? This skill is supposed to be in me? Like, "Once you know, you know"! Like driving a car or cycling or swimming or...??
I can't recall the algorithm no matter how hard I try!

OMG! Now what? Meaning I've to learn it again?

Damn! This sucks! Yeah, I meant me, myself!

Why am I not sad?


It's farewell Pak Lah! After leading us to a land of uncertainty through a journey full of stress, grudges, anger, disappointment.....okay I'll stop here. 2004 - 2009



They gave him a big send off! A Royal farewell! Sad! Why am I not sad?




To ensure a smooth transition?




Now we are in the hands of Najib. Let's just hope he will not lead us to a land-mine full of C4!

Why am I not surprise.
