The crush

My four-years-old dotter had a crush this morning. Guess whos the lucky guy?

- Aiden, from the movie Barbie - The Magic of Pegasus.

Cheh... !

The workout

When I decided to go to the gym, my aim was to recover my stamina, which I long lost. So, for that purpose, the cardio exercise, I thought, is sufficient enough .

The environment at the gym however, made me learnt to lift some irons and sit on those muscle-building machines. These exercises they said, helps in burning the excess fats in my special body-parts, to enlarge these and to reduce those, to convert the barrels into pack, and so on and so forth.

This morning, my colleague ask me, "Eh why you look thinner now eh? Are you sick or something?"...

You see? I guess I need to re-check the market demand.

And for this market research period, I'll stick to the UiTM's stadium running track.

The RE-greening mission

Launched by the prime minister yesterday, the "Green Building Mission" introduces six criteria to be applied to existing developments (through renovations, if required) and new projects.The six points are:

• Sustainable site planning;
• Safeguarding water and water efficiency;
• Energy efficiency and renewable energy;
• Conservation of materials and resources;
• Indoor environmental quality; and
• Innovation in design.

(NST, Mar 16th, 2007)

Lot of renovations to be carried out if these projects are taken into considerations;

• the Shah Alam's TTDI Jaya and other 'flood-prone' neighbourhoods,
• the car wash industry and the broken pipelines,
• the availability of natural gas at petrol stations,
• the Bakun's, the future Klau's Dam and other 'logging-associated' projects,
• the Puduraya and other atmospheric polluting industries,
• the resettlement flats and other 'affordable-yet-sardined' housing projects.

May God put us on the right track.

Chilling Out...

...without any problem to think to.

The result's forecast

Read the news today? The SPM's result news?

• How easy it seems to get straight A's nowadays.
• How easy it was to know your unofficial exam result, (which I believe falls under the Government's Secret category), before the official announcement.
• How disappointed it was to find out that the so called 'media-projected' result was untrue, and
• how hard it was to pretend that you're still okay with the official result even though the number of A's are lesser than predicted.

Enough la believing in such forecast. We already forecast on exam's question, let the exam's board determine the official results.

The dozing effect of roti canai

Browsing on my phone's memory card, and stumbled upon this snapshot of my son fell asleep while eating a plate of roti canai.

I did monitor the whole progress, and what I can tell you is - the effect was immediate!

Wonder what they put in roti kosong nowadays.

Nuke 'em all!!!

The inhabitants of local drug rehab centres complaining on their poor habitat conditons.

Duhh.. amigos! Remember rolling joints and playing doctors in abandoned premises, under the bridges, in the junkyard, behind the chicken pens, and others? Those 'non-government-sponsored-places' are better right?

Government, lets nuke these people!

The man who sold the vegetables

Went to the 'pasar malam' last night to buy fish, meat and suchs. Since my roomate did all the buying, I need to do the carrying (groceries and kids) .

During the vegetables buying process, the guy who received the cash said something peculiar to my roomate. " Akak ni cantiklah! (Sis, you are beautiful lah)". Well heard by us, because I am standing right next to her.

From the look on his face, I strongly believed it was a sincere compliment, and I didn't have any problem with that.

But Sir, we - men should, by best practicable means, avoid throwing such compliment to another man's wife, especially when her husband is near. That kind of statement may bring disaster to both involving parties, and the surrounding environment too.

Me and my roomate, floated by the truthful flattering remark didn't say a thing. On the other end, the guy who sold us the vege, realising his provocative act (again by the look on his face), quickly ended his admiring comment with a "Sorry bro, just joking".

No problem dude - I'm okay with that.

Afterall, no disaster happened.

Experienced; Zoo

It was long since I left school. Above and beyond the things that I'd learned, I do have buddies to remember, and their nicks too.

Based on their sizes, I remember Semut, Katak, Ayam, Itik, Kuda, Lembu, Kerbau, Unta, Gajah, (Ant, Frog, Chicken, Duck, Horse, Cow, Buffalo, Camel, Elephant) and others. There were even Djinn and satan, oh! and dog too.

Wonder how my kids will reacts when one day they discover their father's schoolmates.

Judgement Day

Majority of the world's religions believe in the Judgement Day - on which God will reveal all secrets. Including the existence of lifeforms on Mars, Saddam Hussin's weapon of mass destruction, exact location of Osama Laden, who actually Bush is and things...

...and humans' secret and intimate behaviour too.

Exposed candid photos and videos on the net? - I believe some people already experienced their judgement day.

(MIND THE ELEVATOR'S CCTV!!!)

How may i resist you?

Two men from an insurance company walked into my office, bearing the sign - WE ARE NOT HERE TO SELL NEW POLICIES, BUT TO HELP YOU TO ANALYSE THE WEAKNESSES OF YOUR EXISTING POLICY. And its free. Phew! i thought good people are no longer exist.

They asked me 10 minutes of my time. Me okay, and the talking started. Bla, bla, bla... for 20 minutes

It's not the thing they said, but the way they said them. And me? I didnt like it. The more talkative one in particular. With sudden bulging eye, sudden increase in tonation, cynical smiles, and others - turned me green. All the truth and facts they said seems so fictitious.

For I didn't keep my policy here, they promised to visit me, AGAIN, tomorrow - not to harrass, but TO ASSIST me. And me? influenced by the evil spirit of 4 o'clock wind, NODDED!

Please Sirs, how may I resist you?

No Cash Transaction

A policeman, out of nowhere stopped me last night. About 2330 hrs and some 200 meters from my house's perimeter fence. He parked his motorcycle, and with a furious face, while talking to his cellphone, took a detailed look at my windscreen where :
- my road-tax,
- my office pass and,
- the entrance pass for "higher-ranked police officers' housing" - where my brother stays.
(On which he detailed the last one very much, and he smiled).

I pressed down the power window's button on my right and ask him nicely, "Evening mister, (didnt catch his name or numbers because they are well covered with his safety jacket). Anything i did wrong?"

Then the mister started complaining about my tinted windows, too dark he said, more than 75%, the JPJ wont approve this, serious issue, and bla.. bla.. bla...

He asked me the reason why i tinted my glass. Duhhh!!! Malaysia is very hot mister, i travel a lot with the kids, and they tend to have problem sleeping when the sun is fully switched on. Thats my reason. Oh i did apologized to him also.

The reason and apologize seems acceptable to him, because no ticket was issued and the best thing was - no cash transaction happened.

THE BEGINNING...

The earth quaked somewhere near sumatra. Tremors can be felt in shah alam.

My colleague thought his stomach was swaying for food.

Dont skip lunch.
