It's Cake Cutting Now - Who Got The Biggest Slice???

OK...1st of all the answer to the question above is definitely AHMNO. But some more questions and what if keep me pondering while waiting for the announcement tomorrow at 3pm:
1. JJ is rumoured to take up a minister post. (wow... Madhatter is correct. Malay mudah lupa. In fact lots of Malaysians mudah lupa. had we forgotten about JJ? of course not the Singaporean singer JJ but the ex-minister!!!)
2. KJ no post but Mukhriz got one? Wow.....speaking of out of the box huh. I wonder how Madhatter spin about this, both if his son got a post or didn't.
3. Sabah and Sarawak expect surprises. Well... for me, the most %$#@!*&^ surprise is to see our resident clown MP get a post. Cox everyone got a share and since deputy prefect for the clown class isn't something that comes with "real" benefit mah....
Another thing. What with all the congratulations advertisement in the newspaper? Well, it's income for the newspaper but those are nothing more than product of bodekism. And to my horror, I saw one yesterday in NST (if I remember correctly) congratulating Rosmah for being the first lady with her photo (a big one... I mean really big one) printed on a full page!!!!!!!!!!!
Sigh~~~really no eye see. I'm gonna entertain myself by listening to the songs posted below. Don't wanna "sai hi".

Let's Go Travelling with...............

I never saw these before but caught them many times when I was in HK. The 1st pictures were taken when I was at the Victoria Garden, the venue of the International Flower Festival.


They were bringing out their dolls!!!!!! Chinese have a sayings 人比花娇 but in this case it's definitely dolls.
And then when I was queuing up to check in my flight back, this lady in the next line also bringing out her dolls and took picture with him. This particular doll has a head but no face, it's blank without eyes, mouth or nose. She also took another one while we were queuing up to board on the plane (yes... even it's a MAS you still have to take bus and board using the mobile ladder.
P/S : No prejudice or being judgemental but they're just mere observations of mine.


Try These Cox They're Funny... Seriously!!!!!!!

These guys are great. Im ROTFL!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Stephanie for putting them on her blog.

阿桑病逝

阿桑病逝:《叶子》的阿桑因乳癌病逝
我一个人吃饭 旅行 到处走走停停
也一个人看书 写信 自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里 就连自己看也看不清
我想我不仅仅是失去你

Well, I don't like this song that much when it first became popular. Yeah... all the hypes and the popularity due to the Taiwanese drama but after reading her passed-away news and a look at the lyrics, something changed.

It's the 3B's today......(with the results)

UPDATED :
The 2 bukits went to PR and the batang went to BN.
I have no comments on the bukits but the batang's result is totally predictable. I mean, I come from East Malaysia so it's perfectly normal to feel that way. With tonnes of $$$ spent on the instant maggi projects, you can't really blame the 8000+ rakyat there to cast their votes to BN. I think some don't even know there's another party contesting. It's the classic case of cari makan comes 1st against the justice, the corruption-free, transparency etc blah blah.....
ORIGINAL :
Anxiously waiting? Oh.. no. I nearly forgot.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona


Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
Director : Woody Allen
Cast : Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson
Tagline : Life is the ultimate work of art

I seriously think at the later stage of his film career, his movies without him acting are better. I think VCB is definitely better than Match Point for example.

At last I get Penelope Cruz. She's great here. And so do Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson. I mean wow.... it's a feast to the eyes not to mention the beautiful sceneries and architectures of Barcelona. I mean wow.... wow..... wow......

To those who don't like dialogue of Woody Allen's style, just bear with the dialogues and enjoy the view :)

It's the 2nd Qtr of 2009

The world is focusing on G20 meetings and in our own backyard... it's the staging of the hand-over between Pak Lah and Najib. Meanwhile the 3B's by-election is on going with only few days to come with the voting result.

Meanwhile, I am still yearning for some revelation and also in deep thinking. Hm......

Japan vs Malaysia

Well, it shouldn't be vs. Read an article in Newsweek on Japan and it made me realize why Mahathir introduced the "Dasar Pandang Ke Timur"/Look East Policy.
In a way, Malaysia is VERY similar to Japan. Well, not in a way like our KL transportation system is comparable to Tokyo's; nor in the way the cleanliness of Tokyo made even the KLCC area hide in shame not to mention places like Puduraya etc; not in the way our ah beng ah lian dressed like those Harajuku's anime or gothic or whatsoever style in Japan.
But the fact that Japan had been under the LDP for almost as long as BN ruled our country. Also the fact that LDP is currently lacking seriously in capable leader. You say we are not? How about a non-English speaking (only at certain times) potential Deputy Prime Minister?
Mahathir should be proud of this. At least when 2020 we are still not developed, he can take consolation of the success of his Look East Policy. Speaking of Mahathir... he's gonna attend (according to Marina Mahathir's blog) the Biggest Assembly of the Future Opposition Party (steal the "gotcha" from Jed Yoong....) tomorrow. Wonder what racist trashes he will spurn out...

Sudahlah Kak Dah

So, finally Rafidah fell from grace, lost 507-280 to Shahrizat, a deputy she proclaimed to be the next in line but refused to hand over the helm insisting the 3 months void. I myself like Rafidah for her brash and strong style, more manly than lots of UMNO men but can only shake my head on the controversies surrounding her.
So, "Sudahlah Kak Dah". Giliran Si Ijat pulak. Tapi kerusi tu dah goyah dah...., "Ijat, kerusi tu penuh ngan pepijat"

Speechless Again

I think at this moment, the "elected" soon-to-be PM will be addressing the UMNO Pemuda, Wanita and Puteri's representative in a closed-not-live UMNO assembly. What can we expect from the newspaper tomorrow?

I don't know. It might be the ultra-racist sentiments usually displayed during the UMNO assembly or the glossified version in the newspaper since there's no live telecast.

Without live coverage, I guess the tone will be rampant but what can we do right? I mean, don't even hope there'll be change at all. I read in the flight back from HK the NST something on the "finally-admit-that-he-understand-English" candidate saying that UMNO is changing but ended the interview his emphasis on the importance of stability. Being a minister who admitted that he didn't know English when arrested in Australia, he demonstrated the meaning of oxymoron to its max.

Change and Stability? Like water and oil lah.....

To Curb My Disappointment

I was very much disappointed that my HK trip didn't coincide with the HK International Film Festival that I missed such an opportunity to watch so many good movies.

But wow.... I saw the trailer of Yasmin Ahmad's latest movie, "Talentime" and it kinda healed a bit the disappointment. Some familiar faces such as Harith Iskandar and Adibah Noor. And it got Jaclyn Victor too. It's gonna be shown in cinema on March 26.

Here's the trailer. It might not be "Slimdog Millionaire" but the trailer gives me the chill already.



But I wonder what happened to her previous movie, Muallaf?

Back to Reality Again....

Yeah... it's the dreaded post-holiday syndrome....

Anyway, no work no salary. Continue holiday die already.

So, work loh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The View

from Avenue of Star was mesmerizing though it can be considered as light pollution albeit a pretty one. Oh and energy savings issue too. The Lantau Island with the big Buddha is endowed with nice sea view and the Ngong Ping 360 is impressive too.

But what spoiled the mood was the EPF dividend of only 4.2%. Sigh~ with April coming, income tax...... What the heck, I gotta enjoy it holiday with my family.
