Our laduk is facing the unseeded Japanese later. Hm... it'll be a disaster for him if the he lost to a non-Ling-Dan player.

It's Only February and Shahrizat Won Hands Down!!!!!!!!!!

From Malaysiakini,

The Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, through the Secretariat of Advocacy and Empowerment of Muslim Women, will organise an international conference on the sentence of caning , said minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.

"We can share ideas and practices and gain in-depth knowledge on how each country views the caning sentence," she said.

Shahrizat also extended an invitation to Oman's Social Development Minister Sharifa Khalfan Al Yahyaeiyah to attend the conference as one of the speakers.
(TRYING TO GAIN SUPPORT FROM THE MIDDLE EASTERN ARABIAN COUNTRY BUT........ GET THIS........ PREPARE!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Meanwhile, Sharifa said Oman has no provisions for the caning sentence either under Syariah or civil law. (ANY BLUNDER BIGGER THAN THIS???????????????)

Oh... And Happy Valentine's Day too!!!!!!!

I Don't Wanna Give, Don't Want, Don't Want

I am not a lawyer. I am not working in any law firm. So I always have law-related questions which being in a place with kangaroo court definitely not gonna help.

I am amazed and puzzled by what I read in some prosecution case here. The prosecution apparently can suppress or not disclosing evidence or documents related to the case. Wouldn't this be unfair to the party being on trial? For example if a person on trial for stealing in a convenience store and prosecutor had a CCTV video of it, can they refuse to release the evidence when the defense request it? It totally baffles me.

Well, internet do enlighten us. Read Art Harun's post here on my question.

Petronas Changed CEO

Hassan Merican no more.

Shamsul Azhar Abbas (Hm....anyone knows any relations with the Abbas family here?) is in.

Petronas is the aorta for Malaysia, the biggest artery that sends oxygen to our brain.
Let's pray that the duck that lay golden eggs is not being harmed.
(well... I dare not use the word kill... can't imagine what will happen)

Politics Is Like A Tree Full Of Monkeys - Gus Dur

"Indonesian politics is like a tree full of monkeys. They are all on different limbs on different levels. Some are climbing down. Some are climbing up. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but a bunch of assholes" - Gus Dur, Abdurrahman Wahid (1940-2009). from OTE (Off The Edge, Feb 2010)

Well, look at our Malaysian politics then. nggak banyak bedanya!!!!! (not much difference!!!!!)

The Froggie Season Again

Hujan oh hujan mengapa engkau turun?

Hujan: Macamana aku tak turun? Katak panggil aku.......

It's official! The froggie season is here. The time when all the trojan show their real face. I here pray all the trojan killed by the best antivirus and all the froggie mati katak. Amen.

Update :
Zahrain said he wants to help BN to regain 2/3 majority again. And we know with 2/3 majority, UMNO can do any amendment to the already severely reconstructed constitution at their whim!!!! Malaysia officially has no hope if this really happen.

Jackie Cheung is JAZZYING it UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo DOUBLE TAKE!!!!!!!!!!

I never buy any of Jacky Cheung's album. Maybe the reason was when he was the 4 Heavenly King of HK Pop, I had no money to buy any of his albums. After a long hiatus, he's now back to enthrall us with a jazz album. Well... my cup of tea!!!!!!!!!



I listened to HK CR2 903 radio and he's interviewed by Vani and heard a song called 十二个音 and the melody sounds sooooo familiar and it dawned on me that it's a cover of the song by my favourite Sabahan group, Double Take!!!! The original song composed by Roger Wang called Love Scale. Seriously... search for Double Take's album, support local artiste too. Their debut album released in 2002 is called One Voice.Six Strings.Twelve Mood.

Enjoy the good music. The kacau-bilau scenes in Malaysian political landscape need some rest.

Up In The Air (2009)

Up In The Air (2009)
Director : Jason Reitman
Cast : George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Jason Bateman
Tagline : The story of a man ready to make connection

With Thank You For Smoking and Juno as his previous works, Reitman's next feature is definitely being waited with expectations and I say he trumped it with this nicely made feature. With the right economic climate now which I am sure the movie will touch many, it centres around Clooney's character who works as someone who fires people from their job.

Clooney never fails to sizzle the screen given the good scripts and directors (sans the action thriller he did with Nicole Kidman and a few more... oh, who can forget the Batman???). Farmiga is really attractive here and will spur me to look for her previous works. Kendrick did a good job as the newbie in the industry. No wonder the cast filled the nominations in film festival.

Quote 1 :
Ryan Bingham: [on getting through airport security] Never get behind old people. Their bodies are littered with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate how little time they have left. Bingo, Asians. They pack light, travel efficiently, and they have a thing for slip on shoes. Gotta love 'em.
Natalie Keener: That's racist.
Ryan Bingham: I'm like my mother, I stereotype. It's faster.

Quote 2 (while firing people) :
Ryan Bingham: Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it's *because* they sat there that they were able to do it.

Where Have All The Heads Gone????

With cow head being paraded and now wild boar head thrown into the mosque's vicinity plus the burning of churches, you must be wondering what the hell is happening. Playing with fire seems to be the common observations.

Malaysian Open - Ee Hui & Pei Tty
