That Crazy SMS I received today...

Hey did u receive a Crazy SMS today that said there will be a clash in JB between Indians & Malay on 29 & 30 Aug. As such don't come to JB during these 2 days. It also mentioned this clash was a result of a vendetta by Malays because a Malay lady was brutally raped by a group of Indians.

You believe that?

Alamak!! I believe all of us are smart people & won't fall for this kind of deception. Anyway, S'poreans, by large, have already gave JB a miss.

Why?

Because of the SUPER HIGH CRIME RATES.

Sorry to say this but if I'm a JB police man, I'll be ashamed to even put on my uniform. BECAUSE I'm NOT doing the job the public expects of me.

Sorry lah!

I really really really wonder why JB crimes cannot be stopped or atleast reduced. There MUST be reasons for it. No Political Muscle? Lack of Funds? Or is it SOMETHING else?

JB is Fast becoming a city where CRIMINALS are out in the open & Policemen disappear in the hiding.

MALU LAH....

Ronnie is Spanish now!!!

Ronaldinho was granted Spanish citizenship yesterday and you can call him Señor Ronnie from now on.

You see, some guys have all the Luck. Can even hold dual citizenships which I also want. I want to be a Singaporean and also a citizen of Panama due to my soft-spot for Latinas, oh mama...

Anyway, You know how much Ronnie earned last year alone?

A cool 29.2 million US dollar, bro....

No wonder our friend is always smiling from ear-to-ear.

If you were to compare him with CEOs of the Corporate World, Ronnie is up there among the top 5% - standing shoulder-to-shoulder with John Mack, CEO of Morgan Stanley & Bear Stearns CEO, James Cayne.

Now I'm really feel I'm UNDERPAID,

how about you?

This REMPIT phenomenon gotta STOP!!!

This current craze of Mat Rempit is hitting the roofs in Msia & igniting the anger & dismay of other road users. These Mat Rempits with the "hack care" attitude to the safety of themselves & others have caused plenty of serious road accidents...some were fatal.

This super cheap-thrill is really catching on & the M'sia authorities are scratching their heads on how to stop this phenomenon. With Youtube, this craze is catching on & now instead of Mat Rempits, you have Minah Rempits who show the same "hack care" attitude to their own modesty.

What saddens me the most is that this is actually a 100% Malay problems. You don't see youths of other races being soooo stupid to be involved in this type of Cheap thrill.

I think I have a SOLUTION for the Msian Authorities.

Why not introduce CANNING as a form of punishment for this sort of behavior. Why not? They don't care about SAFETY & WELLBEING of the others. So why must we care about them?

Once caning is introduced & with some got the feel of stick on the naked buttocks. So when the pain hits them, they will wish that they were never born into this planet and Rempit will soon be the thing of the past.

What say U???

Owen Wilson's attempted Suicide?

There are many under-rated actors in Hollywood which may never able to set them into A-List fold in the likes of Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro..etc

One of these under-rated actors is Owen Wilson whom I always love & enjoy watching. Though most of his films are comical & light stuff, they are very enjoyable to watch, especially when he partnered Ben Stiller.

If u never watch a classic Owen & Ben movie, do check out "Zoolander". That movie was banned in Malaysia due to some reference to the assination of a Malaysian PM.

Great Stuff, though!!!

Anyway, sad to hear that yesterday Owen attempted suicide by slitting his left wrist and taking an unidentified number of pills.

My best wishes to him hoping everything works out for him & that he heals back to health in no time.

Finally Man Utd Wins!!!

Before the EPL season begins, my confidence is rocket high on my beloved Man Utd, a team I supported when I was just 6-7 yrs old watching a new player Man Utd just bought that time called "Cantona".

Though was very young, and that this guy got a funny name, I was sure at that time this guy gonna Explode!

Sure did!!!

Remember that Kung Fu kick on the Crystal Palace fan...even put Bruce Lee to shame......... not to mention Fergie..... who was shocked & whose face turn red like a BBQ Lobsters... he,he,he..

Those were the days.... then came.... Roy Keane, Andy Cole.... and the Man Utd youths: Paul Scholes, Neville Bros, Beckham, Giggsy... what a superb team! Then came the BIG Flops: Veron, Jamban-Jamban, Not-so-clever Klebberson....

I sure hope these new buys by Sir ALex like Nani, Anderson, Heargraves & Co will not disappoint & turn out to be FAILURES.....

GOD forbids.....

Gantry - Here, There....Everywhere....

I wonder will there be a day when I'd step out of my flat & there's a gantry above my head....

When the ERP system "extended" to even when stepping out-of the home is considered entering a public domain thus Must Pay.

A bit far-fetched ....u say?

Not really.

Because in the near future, we do not really need to leave home at all. We can work from home....hey I already done that! We can shop from home ........hey that is happening too...just bought a perfume from the Net for Mommy Dearest. We can do the whole education on e-learning, watch movies....etc

Speaking of that, I already start watching the 1st episode of Prison Break Season 3. My mom has already completed Hikmah 3 - all that 60 episodes. Wow!!!! No wonder, that lappie has became her constant companion.

Having said that, I know a lot of motorists are fuming & my plan for that 4-wheels should wait until I got myself a RICH girlfriend, right? He,he,he...

Organ Transplant & the act of Compassion

Sorry to say this but I really wonder why Muslims here had to take a l-o-n-g time in finally decided to be included in HOTA.

Why?

Is it because:

1) They fear that God will reprimand them when they "return" back to Him without a kidney or say, cornea? or....

2) Is it really not them to decide on these "gifts" from God except for God Himself....so we CANNOT give something that don't actually belong to us? or....

3) They fear their organs will be given to Non-Muslims thus may have higher chances of "contaminating" them? or....

4) They fear that it will delay their burial due to the removing process of the organs that can take much time and also make their bodies having ugly surgical scars? or.....

5) They just don't bother to sign-up & using the 4 reasons above as their excuses?

Actually, I consider myself under category 5 but I don't make excuses for my laziness. Still I believe strongly (alamak but not actionlah) inclusion of HOTA is the way to go.

Yes, many accused Muslim Leaders having a Soft Backbone but in this case, I really think the Fatwa ruling is really spot-on.

Not try to preach since my knowledge of the religion is not even worth the speck of dust beneath the feet of the ulamas but Islam is a Religion of Compassion....we can't even step on ants on purpose.

For me, I think is more on your pure intentions. To help a fellow human-being so as the pleases Allah ta'ala.... I sincerely do not think we will ever be punished for that.

Enuff Said ....

When the buses are never full during peak hours? NEVER!

Sometime in June, I commented about SBS Transit publicity blitz due to rising attacks on bus captain: http://rockingmat.blogspot.com/2007/06/stop-bullying-sbs-drivers.html

I mentioned that not only Bus Captains ( I rather call them Bus Drivers) are fearful about attacks, we the passengers and road users feel even more!!! There many many times where we, passengers, almost fell off our faces when to the bus drivers have that kinky habits of applying sudden brakes all the time, jerking the bus on every bus-stop. May be they get an emotional high when doing that....

A friend told me that everytime he reached office in the morning, he would feel tired.

Why?

This friend is putting up Buangkok Green, needs to take bus no. 88 to take him Ang Mo Kio MRT Station. That total about 10 bus stops journey which should be only takes 15 minutes can be stretched to 45 mins!!!

Why???

Because the 88 buses are always full. The next one comes along is also full. Not surprising when profits are all that matters to our dear SBS.

My condolences and prayers to the family of Gabriel Goh, the 16-year old who died yesterday after being hit by an SBS Transit bus at Hougang Central.

Titanic: The Sequel

I thought it was a REAL SICK joke when a friend mentioned that there will be a Titanic Movie Part 2. Until, I saw this trailer from Youtube.

So are you gonna watch it?

A GAME U MUST WATCH

Boy, I can't wait for tomorrow derby with the 2 Manchester -

United vs City.
Alex vs Sven.

So far, luck has been on the shoulders of Sven with his 1st 2 wins in EPL.

For Fergie, really "suay" with 2 draws & thus Utd is in a unfamiliar position of being in the mid-table.
Also, Rooney's injury & Ronaldo's red-card, thus making him miss next 3 games

But tomorrow, I pray, that luck changes side..with Utd winning it in a BIG way.

U Go, MANUTD!!!!!

An Inspiration - when u want something badly!!!

Never in the "American Idol" history that an idol hopeful went into labour while waiting to be auditioned!!!

But that happened in Texas!!!

Believe it?

A 20-year old lady was there lining up for audition with 3,500 other hopefuls eventhough she was already 9-months-pregnant!!!

Believe it?

When she finally made it into the audition room, the ambitious performer admitted that her right hand was shaking as she grasped her bulging belly but continued to belt out tunes.

“I gave it my all thru the contractions. They were back to back and getting harder and harder but I was more than willing to have my baby right there.....I wasn’t leaving without my golden ticket to the next round.”

A judge stood up and gave her seat, and even when the ambulance arrived Gillion refused to leave — telling them that she “wasn’t through singing yet.”

After finally hearing that she was still in the running to be the next "American Idol," the young mom was taken taken to the Medical Center at Lancaster, where she gave birth to a healthy son.

Why was she so DESPERATE???

Her secret which I think an inspiration to all of us in our journey to achieve our dreams:

“I was raised that the only failure is not trying.....I always wanted to be an Idol since it started but there was always a problem. Either it was transport or I couldn’t afford to get on the bus. So I wasn’t going to just give up.”

Simply Beautiful.........

Van the Man

Yes!!!!! Man Utd won the Community Shield!!!

By Penalties, so what,you say?

Alamak Bro.... bottom line we won! So don't ever rob this incredible feeling that we're having!!

But don't piss on our parade, will you?

Just imagine our Van the Man saved 3 penalties - so can really imagine the state of confidence & guts of the Chelsea players? Actually zero...they know that they gonna lose & quite fearful facing the Champions.

For Man Utd, they played an incredible game & we can see that easy-going nature of their play. I believe that Fergie just told them, "Boys, just enjoy yourself". And boy, did they REALLY ENJOYED themselves.

What a Feeling!!!!

REALLY Lost in the Translations

Someone passed a pirated DVD of the latest Thai horror flick called, "ALONE" & I almost regretted watching it. Apart from the guilt of "conspiracing" with the pirates, those images were really laughable.

While haven't got the chance to watch Pirated Movies for a L-O-N-G time, I was thinking that the quality of piracy has improved, but NO....it got worst.

Can you imagine in this new age, people still secretly taping the movies in cinemas!!! Then mass-copy & sell???

Wow!!!

Anyway, this Thai Horror movie turned out to be a JOKE!!! Due to the pirate's translations, this horror movie became a sick comedy. Come to think of it, I quite enjoy it!

Here's the Mis-Translation examples:

1) This scene at the hospital where the main character's mum lay on the bed. The doctor, holding the syringe & said, "I think I need to give her some shots".

The Malay Translation: "Saya fikir saya mesti beri dia beberapa tembakan".

2) In a scene, where the main character accidentally reversed her car & hit her dog named "Lucky". Immediately, she got out of the car & towards the dog shouting, "Lucky! Lucky".

The Malay Translation: "Nasib Baik! Nasib Baik!

Anyway, who am I to complain?

'Cos, I actually had a GREAT time, Laughing....

James Bond or Jason Bourne?

I pick Bourne movies any & every time.

Why???

James Bond movies are too plastic for me. Action thrills & not much else.

For Bourne films, they are much, much different.

They are more into human elements amidst those addrelin-rush actions & stuff.

I saw the previous 2 installments - Bourne Identity & Bourne Supremacy - and really had a GREEEEEEEAT TIME!!!

The plot of the story is simple. An ex-CIA agent has an amnesia upon completion of a failed operation. So, it is his journey to really find who he really was.

Can't wait till the latest series - Bourne Ultimatum to hit the cinemas. I will among the first to watch.

Wanna join me???

No Pork, No Lard...NO WAY!!!!

We are definitely not stupid. We know what is right & what is wrong. Nobody can "bluff" us into thinking that no pork & no lard food is Halal. It is CLEARLY NOT. We don't care if you put some makciks wearing tudungs at the counter just to trick us.

NO way....because we are NOT EASILY deceived!!!

We are Muslims. If you want to sell food to us & want our money, all you need is to get the HALAL cert from MUIS.

It is that EASY.

So easy that you only have to ensure all the food & ingredients are from Halal sources & apply for the the Halal cert from MUIS. Once MUIS inspects your kitchen & everything is in order. You will get your certs in no time.

There are hundreds of Eating outlets which are Halal-Certified. So it is not Impossible to that Halal Cert.

Unless you have items in your kitchen that is No Halal & thinking by employing some silly Makciks sitting at the counter will get you Muslim customers, you are DEAD WRONG. Only guillable Muslims will patronise your stall.

How can they be so Silly...
