Huh?

Read this just now.

How could there be 500,000 UMNO members who is not registered to vote?
Why join a political party when you yourself would not want to practice your right?

This is really puzzling when you look at the statistics. Political party members who dont exercise their rights yet still have the cheeks to go around campaigning for votes during the election. This really doesnt make sense at all.

What is the Divisional Head doing?

On another note, the Election Commission also stated that 80% of the 4.9 million unregistered voters are from the age gap of 21 - 30 urban youths.

Urban youths? HUH?

Man Utd VS Chelsea

Red Devils and the Blues are gunning neck to neck on several fronts. FA Cup Final, EPL title and even a mouth watering UEFA Champions League final.

UEFA Champions League. Red Devils will take on the might of AC Milan while the Blues will take on the Reds in the other semi-finals.

FA Cup. First match to be played in a revamped Wembley. Devils disposed of Watford during the weekend while Chelsea beat Blackburn after extra time.

EPL. 3 point gap, 6 matches to go.

Go Devils Go!

Lazy Tuesday

Have been away for the past week. Another outstation assignment.

Am sick and extremely tired after business traveling. If it was for a long romantic hideaway or a long relaxing break, then it is a different story.

Oh, had an exhilarating experience with EPF (Employee Providence Fund) the other day. A very positive one actually. Was lining up at the PJ Jalan Gasing Branch to submit some forms.

Was greeted by an ever-smiling Customer Service personnel at the door. She was extremely helpful, pointing to the suitable counter to get my forms, to get my queuing number etc.

The Officer in Charge was also extremely jovial and patient. I actually forgot to fill in some particulars in the application form but he had the patient to guide me and wait for me so that I don’t lose my turn at the counter. Thanks Nik

Was done and out of there in less than 45 mins. Totally blissful.

Great Job EPF and Keep It Up!
But I can’t say for most of the Government Agency. (Another story another time)

Campus Massacre

Another massacre but not in your usual hotspots i.e Iraq, Palestine or Lebanon.

Location Virginia Tech

A gunman massacred 32 people, the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history. The massacre ended with the gunman committing suicide, bringing the death toll to 33.

It is really a sad moment, when we read and hear tragedy that happens to our young people. Not politically incline (unlike Government who rage war against another) and no economic value whatsoever (fighting for oil) hence what really happen?

Big Cars, Stupid Drivers

I am from the biggest and busiest city in Malaysia (Klang Valley) and driving is the only way to get around because that’s the only form of transportation that is readily available and most comfortable and reliable. Public transportation sucks, but that’s another story.

So being an avid driver every single day, I have my share of experience in road congestions and many of times, car problems. All this is part and parcel of my everyday driving experience hence im kinda used to it already so normally I just curse and swear every time im late for an appointment or when I get freaking bored on a hot sunny day stuck in a non-moving congestion.

However, something that ticks me off completely is STUPID DRIVERS. I’m not talking about careless and reckless drivers young punks (another story, another time) but about those with a 2-cent brain who cuts in and out of a massive congestion. And u know what, these drives are the ones with the post Merks and Beemers and Porshes and whatever big ass foreign car.

From right, cut to the left and then move back to the right just when the particular lane is moving faster. Tell me, how is that suppose to make you go faster, u bigwit? Crap, these might be the cars that are causing the congestion to be more congested.

So those with big arse cars, please stay on your damn freaking lane and all of us will get to where we are going in the fastest time.

AS ROMA 2 - 1 MAN UTD

UEFA Champions League Q-Final 1st Leg

10 man Man Utd fought with grit and determination in Italy.
Scholes was red carded after 2 silly yellow cards in the 32 min and that completely changed the flow of the game.

Credit to a strong 2nd half performance by the Red Devils, Rooney scored a important away goal, his first goal in the Champions League after nearly 2 years.

Ronaldo was at his best, jerking and confusing rival defenders while the Defence manage to hold out waves and waves of Roma attacks. I thought Heinze was just outstanding.

2nd leg at Old Trafford in a week.

GO DEVILS GO!!!!!!

M.I.A

Have been missing for almost 2 weeks.

I was actually away on a business assignment in East Malaysia (Kuching to be exact).

Was involved in a mega restructuring project for a MNC there, in terms of business policy, HR and the works.

Didn’t have any time to blog, was more interested to try the local cuisine and sightseeing.
Was actually very impressed with Damai Beach, serene and calm; the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend after weeks of sweat and toil.

So now I’m back.
Let me share a forwarded email I received. Hilarious, I tell u.


Something on LOVE AND MARRIAGE .

Love is holding hands in the street.
Marriage is holding arguments in the street.

Love is dinner for 2 in your favorite restaurant.
Marriage is a Chinese take-out.

Love is going to bed early.
Marriage is going to sleep early.

Love is losing your appetite.
Marriage is losing your figure.

Love is sweet nothing in the ear.
Marriage is sweet nothing in the bank.

Love is a flickering flame.
Marriage is a flickering television.

Love is 1 drink and 2 straws.

Marriage is, "Don't you think you've had enough?"
