Watermelon price hike!

With the latest report that Watermelon induce effects similar to Viagra, I fear the price of my fave fruit will hit the roof! Alamak, this is BAD, man...

No wonder I saw a group of Ah Pek drinking watermelon juice at the coffee-shop instead of their usually Guiness Stout... or am I starting to see things...

This report says that because of the presence of citrulline, it was speculated that watermelon might have some of the same effects as Viagra.

Really???

Pay Up or WE CUT!!!

Many Sporeans are struggling with the high prices of food and transports and .....everything under the SUN. Many are also struggling to pay for the Utilities Bills and other bills.

The Rich and Affordable Sporeans may not know this BUT it is REALLY VERY EASY to get your home utilities (electricity & water) supply cut by SP Services - the only supplier of these necessities.

If you for some reasons, missed paying by the payment due date, a reminder will be sent to you. If further delay, even if you pay a partial amount, SP Services will just cut the supplies without giving a hoot.

So u must beg, borrow or steal to raise the fund to pay. Once u pay up, they will take a good ONE WHOLE DAY to reconnect your water & electricity & STILL CHARGE U RECONNECTION FEE!!!

In my heart, all I can say is what has this Country become??? I don't believe anyone would deliberately avoiding paying this MOST IMPORTANT BILLS in the world! Who want to live in the dark without water???

With this "malpractice" of a MONOPOLISTIC organization like SP Services, I think many Sporeans out there who are in this SAD STATE of AFFAIRS. My heart goes to the kids who have to use candle lights while doing their homework... a REAL PITY.

Can I suggest those SP Services BOSSES to try to live without electricity & water for just 24-hr? It would be GOOD for their SOUL for sure and make them HUMANS again...

Killing me Softly with ERP

The joy of owning car.... is NOTHING but an ANTI-CLIMAX.... with the ever rising petrol prices! Not only that, the LTA also keep on increasing the ERP rates and gantries!!! That's worsening the problem & really burning the pockets of drivers!!!

Come on lah.... if petrol price increases, I can understand.... because it is a GLOBAL PROBLEM. But ERP???

I really beg LTA to have sympathy lah a bit to us drivers. Having a car is A NECESSITY. I have always been fascinated of the 4-wheels. That's why, I'm not too fancy of bikes......... but with this current situation, I may need to SELL OFF the car... & back to smelling armpits on the MRT.

Chelski welcomes BIG PHIL !

Tomorrow is the day when all Chelski players report back for training at Stamford Bridge after a long break that have seen some representing their countries in Euro 2008.

But, boy! Will these boys in for a SHOCK!
Because it is NOT that sweet Israeli Avram Grant who will give them a welcoming kiss.... BUT a No-Nonsense Giant of Scolari.

With Grant, okay lah, those Big-Names Players can bully... but BIG Phil is a different ball game. I expect some of these players get kick in the butt...There's for sure!

Anyway, my best wishes to Chelski - a fine example that MONEY CAN BUY U PLAYERS but NOT TROPHIES. I sure hope they play an entertaining & attacking football that Roman craves.

Roman's a strange RICH guy...if he really wants an attacking & interesting team, he should have bought ManUtd.... bodoh lah...

What a Beautiful Sight!

It was such a pleasant surprise for me to see the members of ABBA sharing the moments together at the premiere of the motion picture version of the musical 'Mamma Mia' in Stockholm July 4, 2008.

How I wish they can regroup & record 1 last album together ... while they are still alive & kicking! I can really listen to ABBA songs over & over again, really!

U wanna buy my heart???

I'm so into agree that our Govt decides to ban the trading of Human Organ. It's a REAL RIGHT eventhough it came from a PAP govt, he,he, he...

Because once MONEY is involved....it WILL JUST GET EVIL...

Why? The poor will suffer because they will be enticed, tricked & manipulated into selling their organs without them really realizing how detrimental it would be to their physical health.

And as always, in trading, there will be MIDDLE-MEN. People who will just "suck-up" the blood of the poor & innocence without any feeling if guilt. They will get those kidneys on the cheap & resold them for exorbitant prices.

Yes, I'm aware that it can a matter of Life & Death especially for patients who have been waiting & waiting for organ donors.... some even died while waiting....poor thing...

But, if you were to weigh the pros & cons.... it is still better to BAN ORGAN TRADING...

Love Guru..to the rescue..

I have been a HUGE FAN of Mike Myers.. though most of his jokes are either SICK or FILTHY... but still have a big laugh at them.

Knowing his style since the day of "Wayne's World" till now, I dare say he never lost his sense of WEIRD Humor which I really loved. DO I looked SICK to you?

Ok, so this his latest movie, LOVE GURU is just as GREAT as "THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME" and the rest... and I think he does a much better job than say, Adam Sandler.... maybe because of the BRITISH humor....

All I can say is that this is a Movie that will lift-up your moods and make you laugh till you cry.....so do watch it... and concentrate on the dialogs for they are SUPERB!!!

Sell that Bloody Ronaldo sudah!!!

That ungrateful show-pony must GO! Who needs him anyway? But unfortunately Fergie thinks otherwise...but I for one wants to remind Sir Alex that ManUtd has never depended on Individuals...Once they are getting too BIG for their shoes, we SELL'em...

All the fantastic BIG names of before...like Ruud the "Curi Ayam" Nisteelroy was also ejected....Roy Keano "The Freak" also went..... so what so great about Ronaldo???

40-over goals you said? Come on lah... more than half of that came from unselfish players like Rooney, Giggs, Scholes & the rest.... THEY ALL HAVE ASSISTED! You think Ronaldo can get that many goals playing for Real Madrid? Think again!

ManUtd should TAKE that 60million pound & run!!! We will still do the DOUBLE next season!

the ONLY Portuguese who's worth to KEEP!

The only Portuguese who's worth his salt in ManUtd is..... Not Ronaldo.....

BUT... none other than Carlos Queiroz.

The problem now, as we have heard, that he has received offer from Portugal FA to be the country's head coach.... thus that become a PROBLEM!

Of course, that offer is REALLY AMAZING & REALLY HONORABLE for any coach. If I'm not a die-fan ManUtd fan, I'd say, just take that bloody job, Carlos...

BUT...

With the well-being of Old Trafford's closest to my heart and knowing the huge influence Carlos has over the players and staffs, well, I fear big repercussion once he leaves...

SO HOW???

I will only sing him that song by KC & the Sunshine Band...

Why Oil Prices are RISING???

It really puzzles me why oil prices keep on rising...& rising. So I decided to look for answers...among which I saw the one below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.economicshelp.org/2008/07/rising-oil-prices-not-due-to.html

The International Energy Agency (IEA) argue that rising oil prices are not due to speculation, but reflect the underlying conditions of supply and demand in the oil markets.

The IEA argue that most suppliers are working flat out to increase supply, but, there has been disappointing growth in new oil fields. At the same time, the oil market has seen increased demand from emerging economies in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

They identified 6 other factors behind high oil prices

• low spare capacity within Opec;
• Political concerns over conflict in Nigeria and Iran.
• Expectations of rising prices because of peak oil theory
• Growth in demand from China, the second largest economy in the world.
• rising oil industry costs;
• tight refining capacity;
• and stockbuilding by refiners seeking to lock in profits.

The IEA also suggested that the idea of speculation was attractive because it helped provide a convenient answer for people hoping the price of oil will fall. However, if speculators are not responsible for rising oil prices, these conditions are likely to keep oil prices high for the foreseeable future. Rather than Western governments demanding action for oil prices to reduce, the solution may be to work on alternatives and reduce our dependency on oil.

Prima MADONNA, Ritchie's a GONER!

I like Madonna's.....songs very much. Infectious, melodious & most of the time, RIDICULOUS! But no one can take her reign as a POP QUEEN, period..

But in terms of personality, I think well, I would just use the word, "DISLIKE", ok?

Now, her marriage with Guy Ritchie's over after she turned her attention to a Baseball star named Alex Rodriguez. Alex, by the way, has just divorced his wifey.
Two weeks ago it was reported that Madonna had lined up Paul McCartney’s divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton to represent her as reports spread that her seven-year marriage was at breaking point.

So what else is new? Celebrities are celebrities....
That's why I turn-down Mariah Carey's offer to make me her TOYBOY...he,he,he...

Visit Meliwat Year 08? Malaysia BOLEH!!!

Can someone pls tell me what's happening in M'sia now? Accusations after accusations..... statutory declarations after one another ...police reports by various parties.........whatever...

I really sincerely hope that M'sian leaders stop all these nonsense & start doing REAL JOBS...for the sake of the rakyat. PLEASE LAH.....TOLONG!!!

Pls have some pitylah...especially to the lower income folks who are REALLY Struggling man!

Personally I do not really trust any of the MAIN characters in the CURRENT M'sia Political Drama or rather, COMEDY.... they are just there for their own selfish interests.

Tell me who can you trust? Pak Lah? Najib?.. even Anwar?

NONE!!!

That's why 2008 now becomes Visit Meliwat Year....or for me, I'm just MELUAT with the whole damn thing!

MHA - 2008 Year of Debacles!

What has happened to Spore Ministry of Home Affairs? We are seeing a lot of cracks. These are worrying because if they don't do a GOOD job in taking care of this HOME, everybody in it will get into trouble sooner or latter. God forbids...

Why all these are HAPPENING?

Is our Home Team getting complacent?

Or is the outsourced agencies are not doing a Good job?

Just the other day, near the Woodlands Causeway, I saw a Chinese driver stopping his car & came up to the AETOS officer & scolded him over & over again. This went on & on until another AETOS officer came & pacified that Chinese man. The man then walked back to his car & before entering it, showed his middle finger to the two officers. And the two officers DID NOTHING!!!

If that has been a Traffic Police guy, he would have sure arrest that Chinese man. But then its AETOS, everyone knows.... Powerless Law Enforcer....poor guys...

Another recent incident I saw near my home was when the parking warden trying to give a parking summon for a parking offence, the driver took out his camera phone & placed it very near to face of the warden as if video-taping him & capturing everything. The warden just did his job & issued the summon & leave without saying a word.

But if that had been a Traffic Cop, that driver sure to be arrested from trying to distract any officer from doing his work!

Here's some of the cases of MHA's poor performances:

• 2004 - Huang Na's killer escaped on toilet break under police custody.
• 2006 - Tan Chor Jin (One-Eyed Dragon) escaped to Malaysia, allegedly on a fake passport.
• 2006 - NKF Richard Yong managed to flee to Hong Kong.
• 2008 - Mas Selamat Kastari - toilet break again.
• 2008 - Two detainees' attempted escape frorm Subordinate Court.
• 2008 - Ng Ting Hwa, the employee who siphoned almost S$2m from his company, fled to Malaysia when he's under investigation.
• 2008 - Gurkhas' scuffle over salary.
• 2008 - A retiree unintentionally bypassed Changi Airport's security using his son's passport.

ALAMAK!!!!
