Since none of these monkeys are doing what's needed, I've decided to stand for election.
My manyfacetoe:
Straits times will be the forum for all, abolish speakers corner. Too hot and too many mozzies. The papers always report the truth anyway.
Hdb prices will NOT be made affordable as its already supposed to be affordable in the first place (so u ppl stop talking rubbish ! )
Instead I will make sure that the prices hit The roof ( its cooler up in the roof anyway )
I will increase the cost of chicken rice as I think its overrated .
I will reduce the cost of prata , no cancel that , I will make it free as its the true Singapore dish.
I will decrease the number of queue tickets I give out at Polyclinics , because too many kengsters go there , diabetes my ass pui! STOP DRINKING TEH SI! YOU OLD GOAT !
I will replace high calibre medication like panadol with axe oil as I think that would work better.
I will remove doctors and put TCM in place .
I will give free education to our foreign talent , reduce The quality of education and bar singaporeans from attending school! Always fail anyway , plus what's there to learn anyway , better go work at coffee shop and pick garbage , shit is piling up and nobody is clearing it!
I will ban mediacorp radio as their American slang too cheem.
I will increase channel 5 funding as I think that they are doing a good job of killing peoples brain cells ....what! you are showing harry potter again !!! Wah piang ! Ahem...sorry I meant how wonderful.
I will increase NS from 2 to 50 yrs and deploy these mangkuks at hawker centres as the foreign talents will all go back to school .
I will increase gst to 100 percent on basic items and make luxury items free as I believe that we need pradas and what not, more.
I will charge erp on all mrt commuters and make them wear the IU(or whatever they call it)around their necks like the cows that they are.
I will make ris low speaker of parliament so she can boomz all she wants ...poor girl misunderstood.
I will disallow the word "objection" from the courts and have it replaced by "boomz".
I will replace "lah" with the word "peanut" as we all like it so much.
I will not say all the the other "real" things that I would do , as I will just NOT do them..high cost of living my foot ! pffftttttt !
So please vote for me .....or else whitley will be the last place I put you in ( yes I know about mad selamat).

Lee kuan Yew and those disillusioned others
See my post below titked the same,
looks like tis monkey finally revealed himself,he got arrested while making a nuisance of himself.
http://singaporedissident.blogspot.com/
he claims to be fighting for singaporeans and he claims this and that,
but it seems that when the toad was finally caught he betrayed the very people he was supposedly trying to save!!
He uttered racial abuses and then denied it, ok i buy that that, but when he went on
saying that if, "each time someone hurled racial abuse and was sent to prison, then the prisons would overflow" i knew that he was lying.
so mr saviour you are fighting for us ??? while you berate us ? are the majority of us all racists ?.
His words....
"I pointed out to the court that I deny ever hurling any abuses at anyone. And that each time someone used a racial abuse is used; if the offender is sent to prison, there wouldn’t be sufficient prison space to house all the offenders!
this man and Traitors like him disgust me, to me A home is a Home, no matter how bad or how long i have left it. Nobody criticizes it and i will not criticize it to outsiders. for this home has taken care of me and sheltered me from the storm outside. No matter how bad, i will work to fix it, and it will continue sheltering me
even then. I will work on it from the inside, banging and bashing , and i will work on it from the outside, if i must. And even then i know that i do so because "I LIVE HERE"...and that it will continue sheltering me and my family, as it has for generations.
Mr Dissent , i have this to say to you,
You have forgotten your home .

Racial Stereotypes in Singapore (indians)
I am a person that is rarely tongue-tied (big mouth),
But there was this one particular incident that really left me speechless, voiceless.
It was as if i was having a really bad stomachache,involuntary spasms and constipation for a month and , all at the same time (tough shit, i know).
First of all, she is a colleague/friend ( don't ask me about the god damn slash! i've a point to make here!!) and she is not a local ( 2 weeks in Singapore ).
She asked me about the racial stereotypes in singapore.
Nothing new right? but it is probably the first time anyone has actually asked me about it in a "serious, i would like to know" manner.
As an indian, i told her...indian stuff.
Like how when i am in the train and the aroma of someone's newly baked Shit cookie smell comes wafting through my nostrils,( Fart lah monkey!! ).
What comes after that incident, would be a feeling of guilt, washing over me in waves, a paranoia of sorts settles in,. The unshakeable believe that everyone thinks it's me that opened the door of the oven. The fear that i would be stoned, and hung to dry, as i was an indian and simply because of the fact that IF , if a fart exists, it is because of indians.
Don't believe me ? you are then probably not singaporean or perhaps my paranoia has finally gotten to me.
I told her, that it has become so ingrained in my psyche that whenever someone farts, i have this automatic urge to apologize.
Such is the existence of an indian.
oh that and this stereotype that WE indians have big , u know......hehehehehe............*sigh*, i wish, *sob*....
End of topic you sick people, oh woe be me! what kind of world do we live in??!!.
this is no porn show!

Lee kuan Yew and those disillusioned others
Well, i will deviate from the norm here and put in something serious.
I have heard and seen enough from these monkeys (Link below),and Yes i myself was guilty of this act once. What i am about is the act of
Cursing LKY and his ideologies. This chap is smart and i think nobody will
say otherwise and his policies, his ideas, perhaps regimental and what not, have actually served singapore.
Look at our neighbours, look at myanmar or thailand or wherever.
I and many more foreigners would choose singapore.
Choose singapore for 1 fact and 1 fact only, Safety.
safety for my family,myself and my friends.
Do i hate not being able to be free?
Do i hate not being able to do what i want ?
Yes!
But despite all this, what would i choose?
I would choose singapore, Not that i am a patriot, God Forbid!! me a patriot?
"sacrilege" !!..most singapore bashers would have me hung for this thought.
I choose singapore because this is where my family is.
This is where they are Safe.
This is where they will have medical treatment even if they have no money( bill comes later)
look at this monkey
http://singaporedissident.blogspot.com
He and his fellow asswipe "foreigners" ( ex singaporeans, or ex cowardly traitors, not to the country, but to their fellow men) are constantly lambasting singaporeans under the GUISE of berating the singapore government.
Like i said i am no Patriot, I serve my national service ( with groans and moans) , yes perhaps i do it with much complaint. Yes i follow the laws, again with contempt. What does that make me?
Apathetic? a Coward?
i do it with only one thought in mind, and that is , "FOR my FAMILY!".
It has fed me, it has kept my family sheltered, fed and medically taken care of whenever we have needed it.
If this is Wrong then i am guilty. I have paid my dues and yes i complain about the taxes, about the low income, about the rising prices, about not having much choices and etc.
seriously, I would take this ANY DAY!! again and again with a whip to my KY-Jelly "ed" bottom.
as compared to the alternative.
The alternative?
Yes , "FREEDOM" with a torch in hand and a facade of political show that would win Thousands of academy awards if ever considered.
Is that freedom?, the slums? the poor? the bag lady's and ghettos and whatever?
Bankrupt states and debt ridden country?
How about the racism ( the type where they shoot you).
Maybe the British would be a better example, what with it being the queen's country and god's blah blah blah. With god's name we will steal, with god's name we will be racist's.
Is that what freedom is like? If it is then NO THANK YOU!...i will be glad to lubricate your sore ass and shove a big "freedom" banana up your poop chute! if you so desire.
I am free here, i might live under strict and almost regimented and perhaps archaic laws but it has served me.
It has served me as an Asian as a conservative person. I might not like it but hey "I AM HERE" assWipes and you are not!! I fight a daily battle from HERE!! and not from far away like a coward. It is easy to berate singapore constantly like a mad hyena. I do not need you traitors to fight my fight, i fight my own battle.
It is my home and no goddamn traitor can say anything about it.
Singapore might not be perfect, It might be stifling, but it is all i have.
I have family and friends who have left singapore, who might complain, but at least they know What home is. They know singapore's imperfections, but at least they do not go on bitchin about it one sided. An utopian society does not exist.
Chee soon juan might be dumb ( the way he does things) but i respect the guy for his incessant energy and form. He is HERE and Fighting the fight! He has gone to jail probably more times than any other prison inmate. He fights in his own way and i fight in my own. Through this we have seen change. A good leader who listens and most importantly ACTS!! and we have opposition in parliament ( unheard of before).
It is slow, but there is change.
Where has the great U.S of A been?, the govt has dragged it's people through the depths of Shit ville.
Seriously, Stop the drama of being a patriot. You want to be a patriot? Come on down here.
If not then just shut the hell up!

Stupid questions.
i know we have all either been asked or have asked stupid questions.
Irritating? Yes definately.
Someone sent me this little anecdote .....No not antidote!!!!....
Read on
"The next time someone asks you a dumb question, would you not
like to respond like this?
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena
the wonder dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I
had an elephant? So since I am retired, with little to do, on
impulse,
I told her that no, I did not have a dog, and that I was starting the
Purina Diet again.
Although I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the
hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in
an
intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and
IVs
in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that t he
way
that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets
and
simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the
food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
(I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line
was by
now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the
dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff
an
Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack,
he was laughing so hard!
WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore "
moral of the story....keep your mouth shut .
These people were probably sent down from heaven to test your
Worthiness ( To enter heaven Lah!!)
Irritating? Yes definately.

SAVE THE GODDAMN EARTH!
It is with great regret that i announce the futility of the above statement.
The phenomenon known as GOING ECO is sweeping the world "especially" after
the great U.S.A has agreed to endorse the project.
Never mind Gun control, or Racism or the fact that people are dying around the world.
I don't know. A satire? A farce perhaps or just one big theatre production.
What is this?
Nothing Irks me more than a Bag toting self righteous ASS#@*e that says we should save the world by not using a few plastic bags.
Maybe if we could train monkeys to shit upside down while hanging from a tree, then perhaps we could
save the universe!!
It has reached epidemic proportions. EPIDEMIC!!
i am actually required to pay for bags in places that i have never ever.
Every other monkey i come across says to use less bags,
What happened to Lets not drive!
We can't do it can we?
It is simple to wear a ribbon on my lapel for a cause, it is easy to forgo a couple of bags,
But let me see who is actually willing to ACTUALLY make a sacrifice.
Take public transport.
COOK at home more.
Eat smaller portions.
NOT Drink alcohol,
Not waste water on cleaning my damn car,
Bring my own water from home instead buying.
Come on guys, it is not about lip service. If you cannot really sacrifice, at least stop lying.
As for me i would'nt give two cents about this save the earth crap, why?
Cause I AM A MUSLIM!
i am not supposed to waste, Waste not want not!
I live by it. Every day, i try to waste not, every moment is spent trying. (yes the buddhists too.)
See these images, who needs help more urgently?, the bags or these kids?
I have seen children with no feet, much less shoes.
I have seen children working to feed their Families,
I have seen children despondent,
I have seen our future bleak because our "now" had nothing to eat.
Have you felt pain till you went numb?
Come on people, screw the planet, let's feed our kids first.
What's the point of Saving our planet when there won't be anyone else to live in it?
Save the bags? corporate bullshit....
let's try saving the kid's first huh??
P.S. So okay i am not perfect, i fail half of the time but these ECO ppl are really starting to piss me off. Occured to anyone yet? the only ones saving are these companies and nobody else...or are we all blind?

Computers a wiki
we live breathe and eat computers.
There was a time when typewriters were the "in" thing.
Refridgerators were a mark of luxury.
Washing machines, a mark of status.
Computers?
They just plain baffle me.
15 years back if a family had a computer, they were rich (never mind that they never knew what it was for).
Now, everyone has one.
BUSH has one ( he probably thinks it is a fish tank), Clinton had one (till he got busted watching Porn), My neighbourhood mama has one, even my dad has one.
So what is it for?
Blogging, commerce, an avenue to access Maxim's website....hehehehe
and what not.
Now that we have answered "what it is for" i will try answering
what It is.
It is everything i would rather it was not.
It gives me information that a library cannot.
It is an encyclopedia that answers nothing.
A dictionary that explains next to nothing.
A bottomless pit of information that informs nothing.
A box of connections that connects to nothing.
so the answer is, It is nothing!
( hmmmnn what is my isp charging me for?....."probably nothing" you say? ....wah you aah really genius !)
i have connections to my friends, blogs, friendster, emails and what not. Do i know them?
No not really.
Anyways... now that i have answered what it is, i will now try to figure out if we really understood it....
Most of us wouldn't be able to differenciate between a CDR and a DVD-R even if we were run over by a truck,filled with these CDs, being driven by a legion of apes.
So...*sigh* here i will try to explain the general terms used in relation to computers.
Thumb Drive : It is not what you think. It is a small storage gadget that you insert into your computer to store things. ( no not like your cupboard!!!! and please DO NOT TRY to Squeeze your pet monkey into it!!!)
Floppy Disk : Redundant now, was too floppy , so out it went (men, lesson to be learnt here.
A BUG : Some insect that entered your computer, don't worry about it. It will come out sooner or later.
Microsoft : Some company that is too small and too soft, *see floppy dick...ummm sorry i meant disk.
Microsoft Office : Something we can all do without, It is just like having electric paddles for a sampan.
DVD, CDr, Blue ray : Do not worry about them. They do not mean a thing! Just something extra the devil put in to confuse us.
Mouse : Something that everyone presses, isn't loyal to anyone. So burn it if you can.
Keyboard : See mouse.
LCD,CRT : Shows you stuff that you do not want to see. eg. your bank balance being hacked away, pictures of your loved ones being unfaithful, Emails telling you that the IRAS will forfeit all that you have and more.
So better to switch it off.
CPU : the box that processes all the above. and gets them to talk and occassionally makes noises. sometimes they do not talk, it is ok, we all have quarrels. they will kiss and make up later.
Windows : just something that is there for ventilation. Remember to close it when it rains.
Viruses : if your system warns you that there are some in your system, don't worry, the trojans will come and kill them for you, if all else fails, take some antibiotics.
Get it? if you are still confused , email me. I will bring My special Optical wireless mouse to scan your system to learn more and explain to you. What is it ? oh something that only professionals have. So don't worry about it. I will continue updating this wiki to help you...
------UPDATE--------
MACintosh= MAC in TOSH.
We all know what mac is, as for "tosh", i haven't a clue. Go bug your neighbour about it.
Speakers- Things that speak, have little people in them making noises. Leave them alone they like their privacy.
Webcam- switch it on and dance nude( shave your back before you start)in front of it, will give you luck.
(Disclaimer- i said luck, i did not specify what kind. If you have bad luck its because you probably didn't shave your back, If you did shave then it must be because you are plain unlucky).
Printer- too many buttons and does nothing.
RAM- something in your CPU that makes it go faster. So avoid it (not the cpu lah! idiot!!) . Oh one more thing, lock the doors of your room (in case the cpu runs too fast for you to catch it).
Dual core- makes your CPU run faster, if you haven't already learnt your lesson from the "RAM", then you really deserve it. Stay away from it!
Error messages in windows ( first find who wrote
it on your window before reading on) :-
1) keyboard not detected, please press any key to continue. ( any key will do, car keys, house keys etc) if it doesn't work still, you are doing it wrong.
2) fatal error Blah blah blah...- call the paramedics !!!!!!
3) please update your antivirus - my god i didn't know there was one !! STOP EATING THE ANTIBIOTICS!!!!
more updates later

(Disclaimer- i said luck, i did not specify what kind. If you have bad luck its because you probably didn't shave your back, If you did shave then it must be because you are plain unlucky).
Printer- too many buttons and does nothing.
RAM- something in your CPU that makes it go faster. So avoid it (not the cpu lah! idiot!!) . Oh one more thing, lock the doors of your room (in case the cpu runs too fast for you to catch it).
Dual core- makes your CPU run faster, if you haven't already learnt your lesson from the "RAM", then you really deserve it. Stay away from it!
Error messages in windows ( first find who wrote
it on your window before reading on) :-
1) keyboard not detected, please press any key to continue. ( any key will do, car keys, house keys etc) if it doesn't work still, you are doing it wrong.
2) fatal error Blah blah blah...- call the paramedics !!!!!!
3) please update your antivirus - my god i didn't know there was one !! STOP EATING THE ANTIBIOTICS!!!!
more updates later

no choice
The Schizophrenic duality of my star crossed love affair with singapore continues.
On one hand we have rising costs, and on the same palm (dissected by that little teeny weeny line) we have our locals, accepting, whatever that is dished out to them.
On the other side ( i would assume ,the left hand....for the benefit of the absolutely "Granal"...meanig gramatically anal) We have the powers that be, saying that they have "no choice" thus the reason for the title of this post.
follow the link
Just to surmise their (our local cable Provider, the one and ONLY)"desperation" and "selfless Sacrifices" in the spirit of Patriotism, ( It seems that implied "patriotism" is always the reason why All these Companies in singapore have so far refrained from increasing charges...then, they suddenly Do with such heart rendering, gut wrenching reluctance...*tsk* *tsk*...oh you poor thing) They have decided to increase their Subscription charges, across the board ( don't know which board exactly will let you know later).
The problem here and the main consternation is not just, the Increase itself, but how they actually go about justifying it.
As usual in true Singapore style, they slowly kill you with their long suffering speeches (refer to sarcasm above in red) and then they will go on giving you schematics and statistics. Really ! WHICH SIDE OF MY BLACK INDIAN BUM tells you that i give a rats ass( no pun intented on the ass).
What matters here?
Me paying more or your justifications.
I really do not give a flying fu*#! ( never really figured out just how they do this)
just in case the link above dies, just some of the article
'We have no choice,' says SCV
The signs were plain that sports fans might soon have to dig deeper into their wallets, when StarHub Cable Vision (SCV) last year purportedly shelled out US$160 million ($247 million) for coverage of the English Premier League.
But there has been little or no warning for the general TV buff of what is to come next month.
From July 11, SCV homeviewers will have to fork out $4 more in subscription fees across the board — the first such hike in its basic pay-TV prices since the service was rolled out in 1995.
Sports fans subscribed to the basic groups will, in addition, have to foot a $10-increase in fees for the sports channels, come October.
Not surprisingly, subscribers are unhappy with the planned fee hikes and are looking forward to alternatives in pay TV by year's end.
Mr Thomas Ee, StarHub's senior vice-president of cable, fixed and IP services, said the price increases are a "natural result" of the rising prices of pay-TV content, which makes up 42 per cent of StarHub's cable TV revenue.
Said Mr Ee: "Most pay-TV operators around the world increase prices periodically, and StarHub has not done so despite a steady rise in costs over the years ... It is impossible to continue absorbing the costs indefinitely, so we have no choice but to implement this rate adjustment at this time."
Just last month, StarHub announced a strong first-quarter showing, with its net profit rising 13.9-per-cent year-on-year, from $61.4 million to $70 million.
Asked about possible perceptions of profiteering, Mr Ee told Today: "After taking in other operating expenses and the large capital required to build a cable network island-wide, the margin in cable TV is the leanest of any of the services that we provide.
"In fact, it has taken a decade for our pay-TV business to break even."
Subscription numbers have been rising steadily. According to StarHub, as of end-March, 490,000 households were subscribed to its cable TV services — that is, 43.6 per cent of households with television sets.
SCV — the offspring of a 2002 merger between Singapore Cable Vision and StarHub — last raised prices of its sports package from $8 to $15 in late 2004.
It reportedly paid US$160 million last November to broadcast English Premiership matches for three years. But while many had anticipated the fee hike for its sports pay-TV package, the move to raise fees across all channels has left subscribers seeing red.
Mr Leong Hoon Kee, who lives in a private estate, will have to pay........
and it goes on......get my point ?
Dear Govt people please please, give us our satellite dishes.....just one small one perhaps?
How about a "wok"? I promise i will not stain your precious monopoly with curry stains.
No? how about a "mangkuk"? (bowl in malay)
I promise not to watch Porn.....so how about it?
* sigh*

recycling monkeys
first we had the save the whales
then save the sharks
concurrently, save the planet.
My question , where is it going?
Let's jump on the band wagon, someone said and there you go!
Singapore like the rest of the world seems
to be convinced that by not using plastic bags we will actually save the planet.
Let us see, No bags equals to consumers paying more.
Dont think so?
let me enlighten you.
When these world monkeys(Authority) say that by recycling the planet will be
saved and somehow we will all ultimately save money.
The europeans have been doing it for ages, what have they saved?
The Aussies are nuts about save (fill in the blank) and what have they saved?
I will tell you.
The big corporations have saved tons on packaging while still charging us the same.
There are children starving, People killing people from USA to Timbuktu because of guns and what are we doing about it?
Nothing!
there are plenty of "organisations" seemingly doing something but have they changed anything?
Maybe we the villagers should concentrate on PEOPLE instead of some lousy bags.
What about oil?
We drink oil.
Shouldn't it be running out soon?
Instead what we do is get the international Dog "uncle sam" to go around killing innocent people just so they can have oil.
My take, i am not going to live that long to see shit anyway so why bother about some bags.
The end of the world will come sooner or later so why worry?
If i had it my way, get these SOBs to pass the savings to us consumers and then perhaps only then will i believe that this saving the bag shit is genuine and worth my while.
Any takers?

i lost the fight but won the war
One nasty comment spurred me to write this.
we the villagers have nothing to look forward to but to be Successful.
We love to Announce how successful we are.
With panache and arrogance,sometimes.
We endeavour non-stop, to find it.
Most of the time, it eludes us.
Even when we have 2 cars, a condo and dozens of bank accounts.
Even then it is a goal that seems to slip from our grasp.
Nevertheless it gives us Great joy to "let slip" how we regretted buying that
Coveted car,house etc.
Do we learn?
No.
I was and am guilty of the same thing.
I am no saint.
But in the same breath, i would like to say that i have found success.
It is imperfect but i have found it and all i have to do now is to
Start perfecting it.
I am a successful Son,
A successful Husband,
A successful Brother,
A successful nephew,
A Successful Citizen,
Last but not the least,
A successful ME.
We forget family while looking for success,
We forget Our loved ones while trying to earn enough.
We Forget the very cause, the very Root
of our desire to be "successful" that when we do realise
what we want It is too late.
Maybe the key is to realise Earlier what we really want.
The smallest Fight,
That small instance whe a loved one gave you that smile that meant more
than what it said, I LOVE YOU.
three insignificant words, so Important at the right time.
How have you been measuring success?
With a mug filled with stale ale from 20years ago,
Or with the finest Wine, aged, nah Rotten to the core, aged with
time lost.
Or perhaps with How much i have won in the contest of life ?
Have you lost?
Then why is it so important to tell people how much you have,
To announce how much I gained,
To blind people with designer Shades.
Have you made your point?
Is it too late for you?
For i know now that I am a Son.

I WANT IT!
Our obsession with all things new.
Maybe an uniquely Singaporean Thing.
When there is a new Mobile phone model, we want one,No matter that
the old one works perfectly well.
When there is a new Computer we want one.
Never mind that we probably do not even know how to Use it.
When there is a hot model( Not the catwalk kind you bloody idiot!)
we want one.
Never mind that the product would probably fit an androgynous hermaphrodite better than it would you, we want one.
Why?
Because we live in a little island called singapore.
Sandwiched in between Indonesia and malaysia like a wedgie in somebody's butt crack.
We have been called "A drop of Piss" because (i presume) Malaysia looks like a Penis.
Never mind that, that is another tale.
Back to our topic, Why? Because we cannot really go anywhere else.
Really, Where can we escape to?
Malaysia? the sooner to be slaughtered by their villagers.
Indonesia? Right! Heard of the Pirates?
Thailand? Eeerrrm no thank you, they are absolutely ANAL!
Get the point?
Technology is our only escape .
So we want more.
We want more Cars
more mistresses,
more designer wear,
More and more and more!
This wedgie is fast becoming a hemmoroid!
We need to be Lubricated fast.
the question is, With what?

To the "anonymous People" who posted nasty comments.

"Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "self righteous blabber":
not surprising you feel this way. as your theistic tendencies hv revealed, you obviously have a low IQ. so naturally, you're envious of pple who do are doing well. Loser..."
"Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "self righteous blabber":
you are so reflexively cynical. why shld anyone take your comments seriously. you are better off just writing a diary than having a blog that pretends to comments on public affairs but is really just your private bitching and whining and whingeing board. you're such a loser and the real asswipe here really is just your sad pathetic self. If i were you, i'd just go kill myself.
"

chinese weddings
For all you villagers that have no clue whatsoever about the inner workings of a chinese wedding, here is a sample :-
Day 1 - tea ceremony
Day 1a - wedding dinner.
Nothing wrong with the "Tea ceremony", basically the couple will have to get down on their knees and Offer the Parents/inlaws Chinese tea after which the couple gets Hong Baos (ang pau, meaning red packets filled with money) as a token. This Completes the Official nuptials.
People take turns to offer tea to each other. At least that's what happened to me. After a while you just get plain confused as to who is supposed to offer tea to whom.
There was once when i was on the chair and my father in law was on his knees offering me tea!! Confusing stuff i tell ya. Ok ok he didn't offer me tea, might be my subconscious playing tricks....hmmmmnnn.
Anyway after cutting that short let us move on to the Dinner. Nothing different about it (from a normal wedding) except for the fact that one main ingredient is involved here. "money", now when i say money i mean lots of money!
It is a big NO NO to NOt give money to the couple. Some weddings you have Grumpy old ladies sitting at a table out at the reception. One would "Man" (you should see the ladies) the guest book and the other would receive the Red packets( Hong Baos, red packets with money) from the guests. These Overzealous ladies would then have your Pride and joy and hope and Shame in between their thumbs. They would proceed to open these packets in front of everybody and one would then Proceed to announce Loudly (for every ones Benefit, possibly to shame and scare others) the amount that was given. If you gave a generous amount then good, maybe a smile ( don't hold your breathe waiting), If not, then you will be the lucky few to get a table near the toilet (if not IN).
Can you imagine the horror if you gave five bucks!!! gives me the shivers!
While all this is going on, you see sweaty brows in full throttled Air conditioning.
Nervous grinding of teeth, Sweaty palms, pale faced ,wrecked with jitter, clanging testicles, guests on one side. The other side you will see some cocky faced brats giving the once over to the unfortunate few (short lived cockiness after the encounter with "The ladies").
Just like a Theater performance, this affair is full of drama, suspense and perhaps if you are lucky, some violence. This is a realm that belongs only to the "Old LADIES"and no one else. And by the way if you are planning to go to some wedding (chinese), Do, Please Do be afraid, Be very afraid. Do not even think of getting away with that miserable Hong Bao that you brought and forget about giving these ladies the "heave Ho" because these are one bunch of tough Old ladies. The have in them Inhuman Strength, Schooled in the Ancient Art Of "kick You Hard Hard and Long Long where the Sun will Quake in its ffet to even think of shining".
Tough little cookies these ladies. Theere is No ginseng too big and no Bamboo too long, They overcome them all. So for you White men, I WOULD NOT MESS WITH THEM.
After this nerve wrecking Affair, you have the 5,6,10 course dinner. Perhaps a slide show of the couples wedding photos (aaarrrggghhhh HOSTAGE Situation Get OUT nOW!!!).
Then while all this happens the couple will go from table to table to say thanks (or curses) to the guests.....ok, so no curses. Photographs will be taken at every table with the couple.
Simple huh?
Thank god though, no such thing at my wedding, Was over in About Five minutes, WE ( my wife and I) went through the wedding simply. Killed By Humility, Bankrupted by Pride, Kicked by the waiters in our butt cheeks we made a loss. Yes that is what they refer to weddings as ( NOt THE MARRIAGE YOU IDIOT!!) . If a couple makes money to cover their their expenses than it is a "break Even", If they made more and more left over for a honeymoon then a perfect wedding.
We made a "loss", If we had "broke even" i would have been glad and had i had a Perfect wedding i would have gone insane!, suffered a moment of insanity. Probably would have whimpered like a child in soiled diapers,
But Sadly no, We Did'nt. There was no moment of insanity.
What i got in return was a bride, A happy Family, And happy guests.
So ok, I got a windfall after all.
now where is my Hong bao?????

self righteous blabber
Maybe i am wrong, I just do not understand it.
Maybe it is my Australian education at work here.
Maybe not.
So what was this article saying. I will tell you what it was not.
It was not saying sorry.
It was not saying that what these people are doing is wrong
and it definitely was not giving us the real story.
A lame attempt at justifying the spending the millions on these elitist
Ass wipes in singapore.
First they siphon our money, then they screw our system and after
they are done monkeying and using singapore as their testing ground they leave.
Now the Govt wants to pay them more??!!
Ok.
Why not start paying the monkeys at the zoo more?
"peanuts" perhaps?
Let them go, stop their funding , let rich daddy and mummy pay through their asses for their education.
I am sure they won't mind selling their Ferraris and what not.
Give our own people, the poor, the family Man and woman a chance to study.
sheesh what a Drama.
The rich screwing the poor and using lame excuses to leave.
Do i look like toilet paper?
Am i worth less?
I would not even give these people my used toilet paper much less an increment.
Like they always say, it is not all about money, please pray tell me what IT IS about.
Hang them i say.
Better yet, Wax their balls then hang them.
Bloody mangkuks, Scum from the bottom of my pond.
It really pisses me off how these rich screw us around.
I am getting so stressed i think
i will go and soak my tooshy in my jacuzzi

A mandarin's temptation
As jobs go, he was enjoying the one he had, but Mr Gerald Chiu had a decision to make.
The former Public Service Commission overseas scholar was about to complete his six-year bond. At the time, he was a deputy director in the Ministry of Manpower.
The money was good, but he could always earn more outside.
He was helping formulate policies addressing retirement issues for Singaporeans. "The thing is, whatever I did was only going to have an effect in, say, 30 years ... But I'm the kind who likes to see results fast," he said.
The choice before him was simple. "Either you choose public service because you feel the calling, or you want to do something else," said Mr Chiu, 33.
He decided to do something else. He packed his bags and accepted an offer to work in Kuala Lumpur with private equity fund Navis Capital Partners. Mr Chiu gets a fixed salary as well as a share of the profit when his outfit has turned a company around and sold it at a profit.
He likes the buzz. The money can be considerably better than what the civil service would have paid him. He has no regrets about his decision to join the private sector last year.
Last week, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong spoke of the need to retain talent in public service and suggested competitive wages as well as the need to enthuse staff. The exact pay revisions will be announced on April 9.
But as the case of Mr Chiu suggests, it will not be an easy battle to win.
Some 21 people left the administrative service last year. Of these, 13 resigned, while the others retired or transferred out of the service. In 2005, too, there were 13 resignations.
The two other administrative service officers in Mr Chiu's batch resigned after completing their bond — one left for the private sector while the other became an academic.
He acknowledges that in many cases, people leave because the money is better in the private sector. "But when people leave it is not always about the money," he said. "It is a big consideration, but it isn't everything."
For one, it needs a special kind of passion and patience to remain in the administrative service. It is like royal priesthood: Not everyone is cut out for it, former civil service chief Sim Kee Boon once said.
More immediately, almost every administrative service officer — typically a high-flying, high-achiever in his early 30s — reaches a career crossroad, usually after serving out his bond.
It has just been revealed, for example, that 43-year-old Mr Ravi Menon will take over as Second Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Trade and Industry from July 1. The high-flyer candidly admitted that when he first started out, he had intended to use the civil service as a stepping stone. "Every now and then I would have these musings about trying out something in the private sector," he said.
What kept him back? Mr Menon told Channel NewsAsia that while the private sector was exciting, "whenever I go through that, I invariably come to the conclusion that no, maybe I'll stay back a little longer because this is meaningful work".
The question is whether everyone is equipped to deal with the public sector's unique challenge.
As a junior civil servant more than 20 years ago, a young Mr Chan Soo Sen, then with the Ministry of Defence, recalls that he put up some proposals on National Service.
His boss thanked him for his hard work, but eventually chose not to approve any of his ideas. But over the next ten years — even after he had left the Ministry — many of his proposals were eventually implemented, one by one.
"The policies were then all announced by other people. I was not involved anymore, but there was the satisfaction of knowing I was the one who drafted the idea and seeing it have an impact on others," said Mr Chan, now 50,who served in the elite administrative service before joining politics and eventually moving to the private sector last year.
He acknowledges that not everyone can handle rejection so easily, he said. And the unique constraints of civil service could prompt some to seek their destiny elsewhere.
Interestingly, instead of trying to block out the "temptation" of the private sector, the Government posts some of its administrative officers to private sector companies on attachment. Some never come back. Those that do are more committed than ever, said Mr Chan.
MP Lee Bee Wah, herself a former administrative service officer who left to start her own company when she was in her 30s, told 938Live recently: "If we don't do anything about it now, we'll lose more capable civil servants."
As Mr Chiu said, it is not just the money ... - /sh
Maybe it is my Australian education at work here.
Maybe not.
So what was this article saying. I will tell you what it was not.
It was not saying sorry.
It was not saying that what these people are doing is wrong
and it definitely was not giving us the real story.

united nations
i will not say i was shocked.
I will not say i was surprised.
Like i have said time and time again,
Two monkeys do not make a country perfect much less
A bunch of monkeys
The great United nations, Should be called
The great Fart, for nothing good comes out of them
only gas that smells as bad.
the summary,
UN Watch exposes the monumental hypocrisies, terrible lies and moral inversions of the new and supposedly reformed UN Human Rights Council. Millions of victims and 191 countries ignored. Darfur atrocities outright denied. Self-proclaimed defenders of Palestinian rights -- Assad, Ahamadinejad, Khaddafi and UN expert John Dugard -- care only about scapegoating Israel. Council President Luis de Alba of Mexico responds with unprecedented announcement that he rejects the speech as "inadmissible" -- and issues a ban on any speech that similarly criticizes the council or its member states. NGO community is shocked at denial of free speech and open debate.

A little about My self
My cats , my inspiration.
No perspiration.
Simplicity of life.
Two monkeys do not equate to
a changed world.
Two cats equate to a
changed man.
Learnt, patience....ok still learning...
Gained acceptance, Does

Accepted, Plain
acceptance.
No arrogance from
them. They forgive
in an instant.
They have no seeds of jealousy.
They live.
They sleep carefree.
Unlike us monkeys.
We think we live.
We believe we have lived.
We villagers are so close and yet so far.
We do not refrain from nefarious activities.
Two spankings do not change us.
A kind word we ignore.
Maybe it is time for drastic measures
Time to burn their lungis and chaddis (sarongs and underwears)
Shave their pits and tie their nuts !
This monkey will try.

Britain threatens to raise stakes in Iran standoff
British Prime Minister Tony Blair warned Iran on Tuesday that a row over 15 detained sailors could enter a "different phase" if they were not freed soon, remarks which Tehran condemned as provocative.
Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett meanwhile cut short a visit to Turkey in order to report to parliament Wednesday, having hit a dead end in talks with her Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki.
Blair earlier cautioned Iran that he was not prepared to see the naval personnel held with "no justification whatever."
His official spokesman said London was not looking to escalate the stand-off and would prefer a diplomatic solution, insisting that Britain was not considering military action or throwing out Iran's ambassador.
Blair said Britain was trying to "pursue this through the diplomatic channels and make the Iranian government understand these people have to be released."
"If not, then this will move into a different phase," he added in an interview with GMTV television.
However in Tehran, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini denounced the British remarks.
"The media campaigns and provocative ... remarks regarding the violation of Iranian territorial waters by the British sailors are doing nothing to help settle the affair," he said.
"The British service personnel entered Iranian waters illegally and the case will follow its legal and judicial course."
Hosseini said that British diplomats would be able to meet the 15, who include a woman, once investigators had completed questioning them about what they had been doing in Iranian waters.
Beckett's return so soon after speaking to Tehran reflected the mounting concern over the standoff, as Iran rejects growing international calls to free the sailors who were detained last Friday.
She said she had decided to return to London after speaking on the telephone with Mottaki, saying that it appeared that there had been no progress in resolving the issues.
A Foreign Office spokesman said Beckett "spoke in very robust terms" with Mottaki.
"She indicated that the British government will continue to pressurise the Iranian government on all these points."
Britain, supported by Iraq, insists that the naval personnel were conducting "routine" anti-smuggling operations in Iraqi waters Friday when they were seized at gunpoint in the Shatt al-Arab waterway in the north of the Gulf.
Iran says they entered its territorial waters illegally.
Pressed on what a "different phase" of the dispute might involve, Blair said: "Well, we will just have to see.
"But what they should understand is that we cannot have a situation where our servicemen and women are seized when actually they are in Iraqi waters under a United Nations mandate, patrolling perfectly rightly and in accordance with that mandate, and then effectively captured and taken to Iran."
Blair said that the sailors' welfare was paramount.
"There is absolutely no justification whatever for holding them," he added.
Blair's spokesman said London was "utterly certain" that the sailors were in Iraqi waters.
"So far, we haven't made explicit why we know that because we don't want to escalate this.
"We don't want to do that too soon because we prefer to have this ... resolved quietly."
But he added: "We may come to the stage where we have to become more explicit about why we know this."
Citing unnamed sources, the BBC said the crew were being grilled at a Revolutionary Guards base in Tehran to find out if they were on an intelligence-gathering mission.
The investigation involved examining tracking equipment to determine exactly where the sailors were seized.
The European Union has demanded the sailors' release and the United States has expressed its "concern and outrage."
The German foreign ministry said on Tuesday it had called in the Iranian ambassador to Berlin and reiterated a demand for the immediate release of the naval personnel.
The crisis over the detentions comes as concerns also rise over Iran's disputed nuclear programme.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
it seems that the great "U.S of A" has started a new game of shoot thy neighbour. first it was WMD or Weapons of mass destruction for the uninitiated in IRAQ. now its IRAN. Going down the Alphabetical list it seems.
Since the UN is not going anywhere with their usual "WE CONDEMN" or "We Strongly Condemn" stance, the USA and Britain( The Great U.S of A's lap dog) has come up with this new ploy.
Don't get me wrong, i do not support Iran's dodgy Politics nor do i condone their nefarious activities as the "great leaders would put it".
But seriously, How routine is their "routine" anti smuggling operations? Are they sooo detailed in their security operations? Come on people. the "enemy is in Iraq right? So what were they doing outside of Iraq? When you get a problem Don't we work inside out instead of outside in as the Great "Royals" would have us believe?
I know it is tough now, what with the "democracy" trend and what not .It is difficult not to invade other countries and make them slaves but seriously, this?
Like hell we believe you were doing routine "gardening" with poor old innocent "gardeners" when Big Bad khomeini came and swatted you like bugs with his mighty holy Turban.
Poor Poor yo0u.
You make me wanna puke all the curry i had for lunch , puke everything out till liquid pappadom and pickle ooze out of my Pits.
Nice ploy, Bravo, good stuff. We all know you maggots are waiting to invade Iran, It is only a matter of time.
And while we are berating you i would like to Congratulate the Bloody Iran for fucking up the world. Just like A pot calling the kettle black. Iran is a stigma on Islam.
You, Iran have a shitty history, perpendicular with the nutcase Germany's hitler.
You wake up one day and decide to eradicate civilization as we know it so as to mould it into A diseased society which you call perfect.
sheesh, grow up .
My solution, Take the states,Britain, UN, Iran, and the communist koreans and cook them. Problem solved. Shitty Governments with a warped up sense of "justice". I bet my Poop will smell better even then.
