Okay. Bila aku baca dalam Utusan Online yang harga bagi plat kereta nombor "TAY 1" hampir buat aku tercekik telur rebus nasi lemak pagi tadi. Salah aku juga sebab cuba telan terus sebiji tapi memang tak logik kalau nak belanja duit sebanyak tu untuk plat kereta semata-mata.
Memanglah itu hak masing-masing kalau nak beli apa-apa sebab duit pun masing-masing. Kalau duit bukan masing-masing, bak mai sikit. Tengah kering nih. Aku boleh terbayangkan golong miskin dan daif yang menangis kalau diorang baca tentang perkara ini. Aku ada kena lkeluarga yang terpaksa hantar anak-anak masuk rumah anak yatim padahal kedua-dua ibu bapa masih ada. Sebab? Ibubapa tu tak mampu.
So, belanja tahap nih memang aku anggap tak logik dan buat aku fikir macam mana boleh aku sendiri menyumbang pada yang memerlukan. Insaf.
This poor creature was the victim of a family feud when the disgruntled (& very cruel) daughter set the rabbit on fire. The daughter, Katey Barber, threw pieces of burning paper into the rabbit's hatch and was seen laughing and shouting "Look, the rabbit is running around on fire", before putting out the fire. The rabbit is owned by Katey's sister who is on vacation with their mother and her partner.
Horrified friends and family were swore at when they tried to intervene. Katey had earlier downed 5 cans of lager before setting fire on her mother's partners clothes and then setting fire to the rabbit's hatch.
The vet that attended to the rabbit named Bunny, says it is permanently scarred and is now is terrified of human contact. A part of its ear will also need to be amputated.
Katey Barber, an animal in human form
Barber could be jailed up to 6 months and fined 20,000 Pounds when she is sentenced on Tuesday. The punishment is not enough after what she had done to this poor animal.
If it were up to me, I would lit her up on fire and see how she likes it. Poor excuse of a human being.
Hujung minggu lepas ada aku baca berita dalam salah satu akhbar tempatan tentang tukang kasut di Tronoh, Perak (berdekatan kampus Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP)) yang kena belasah oleh 10 - 12 orang pelajar Mesir di kedai makan. Sebab si tukang kasut kena belasah? Pelajar Mesir tu tak berpuas hati dengan caj yang di kenakan oleh si tukang kasut.
Kisah bermula bila pelajar biadab tu singgah di kedai untuk perbetulkan kasut dia. Bila dia tanya pada tukang kasut tu, berapa untuk betulkan dua pasang kasut, tukang kasut pun cakap RM 30 iaitu RM 15 untuk sepasang. Pelajar Mesir tu pun cakap mahal & minta harga repair kasut tu jadi RM 20 aje. Tukang kasut pun tak setuju & minta pelajar tu pergi ke kedai berdekatan.
Ini kot kasut yang pelajar biadab tu nak repair?
Mungkin sebab kedai tu pun kenakan bayaran yang sama, dia datang semula ke kedai si tukang kasut & minta tukang kasut repair kasut dia dengan caj RM 20 juga. Si tukang kasut masih tak setuju, maka keluarlah kata-kata kesat dari mulut pelajar Mesir tu sehingga di ucapkannya "Fuck you Malaysia!". Si tukang kasut sudah hilang sabar & menarik tangan pelajar tersebut & minta dia minta maaf atas kata-kata biadab itu.
Pelajar biadab tu beredar tetapi membuat U turn dan mengeluarkan isyarat lucah & mengugut akan datang semula untuk "mengajar" si tukang kasut.
Dua hari kemudian, pelajar kurang ajar itu datang bersama 10 orang teman yang lain mula memukul si tukang kasut & teman tukang kasut semasa mereka berdua sedang makan di satu restoran dekat kedai tukang kasut (kawasan Taman Maju, Seri Iskandar). Lagi best, takde sorang pun penduduk tempatan cuba untuk membantu sebelum si tukang kasut * rakan pergi dapatkan rawatan di Hospital Changkat Melintang.
Nak tambah lagi best cerita ini, pengurusan UTP datang berjumpa si tukang kasut pada malam si tukang membuat laporan polis untuk menarik balik laporan kerana tidak mahu hal ini di perbesarkan.
Patut hantar balik aje pelajar-pelajar Mesir tu dan pengurusan UTP pula patut malu kerana cuba menutup perkara ini dari tersebar. Pelajar-pelajar kurang ajar tu datang ke Malaysia di atas scholarship Petronas dan buat benda macam ini? Hantar balik aje.
Hari ini 300 orang rakyat Malaysia yang di ketuai oleh Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Khairy Jamaluddin dan di sertai ahli-ahli Pemuda MIC, beberapa organisasi bukan kerajaan (NGOs), bloggers serta rakyat Malaysia yang lain telah mengadakan demonstrasi bantahan terhadap campur tangan Australia dalam kes liwat Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Satu memorandum di hantar ke Suruhanjaya Tinggi Australia dalam membantah tindakan 50 ahli Parlimen Australia yang "menyuruh" kerajaan Malaysia gugurkan kes liwat terhadap timbalan bekas PM Malaysia itu dengan menghantar memorandum kepada Suruhanjaya Tinggi Malaysia di Canberra pada hari Jumaat lepas.
Memorandum yang di serahkan kepada Duta Australia, Penny Williams itu juga inginkan 50 MP Australia itu meminta maaf pada kerajaan Malaysia dan rakyatnya di atas sikap kurang ajar mereka.
Tindakan kurang ajar 50 ahli Parlimen Australia ini seperti nak kata sistem kehakiman Malaysia ini tak boleh di percayai. Walaupun aku pun tak mampu untuk komen panjang tentang kes liwat Anwar ini, tapi orang-orang asing ini (MP Australia) sepatutnya menjaga tepi kain diorang sendiri.
Negara yang asalnya menjadi tempat pembuangan banduan British ini memang selalu suka masuk campur dalam hal-hal dalaman Malaysia. Begitulah pemikiran 50 MP ini yang bernenek moyangkan banduan-banduan terkutuk. So, tak heranlah mereka boleh bersikap biadap sebegini.
Kenapa nak masuk campur hal dalaman Malaysia? Ada apa dengan Australia?
The question who will replace Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Merican is finally answered.
New PETRONAS top man, Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas
Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) effective 10th February 2010 & will be replacing Tan Sri Mohd Hassan, who's contract will expire on 9th February 2010. The announcement was made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Outgoing CEO & President, Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Merican
This sees that the selection committee had taken heed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's, the conglomerate advisor's advice to promote from within as the new CEO should be familiar to the operations of the oil gas giant..
Datuk Shamzul Azhar Abbas previously held the position of President & Chief Executive Officer of MISC (also a PETRONAS sub) from 2004 - 2009. All Malaysians wish Datuk Shamsul good luck and hopes he will continue from where Tan Sri Mohd Hassan had left behind.

I was shocked to hear that Port Au Prince, the capital city of Haiti were further rocked by a 5.9 Richter scaled aftershock early Wednesday, after the original 7.3 shock 8 days ago.The latest shakes created fear of further destruction and casualties to the already grief stricken country.
It was mentioned that more building structures that had already been weakened in the original earthquake had collapsed and it is feared that any survivors that might be still alive under the rubble of the original quake would be in danger. Nurses in hospitals in the capital mentioned that patients had started to ask for forgiveness and prayed hard when the aftershocks started.
The Haitian Government had confirmed that the death toll is now at 72,000 and is estimated that this number would rise to almost 200,000 people. Search, rescue and recovery efforts are still being carried out throughout Port Au Prince. This is evident in the recovery of a few people from under the rubbles after 5 or 6 days.
Regarding to the help and supplies intended to the people, supplies are starting to get to them. However, bottlenecks and mismanagement of aids and supplies have hindered the efforts to get these supplies to the hands of Haitians.

As a muslim, we are always told to pay our dues or zakat (zakat pendapatan & zakat harta) in order to cleanse our income, savings and property. Zakat is the Islamic way to contribute to the poor and unfortunate through paying to the proper channels & authorities. Another good thing about paying your zakat pendapatan is that it is a tax deductable item when you do your tax returns in April. This is provided that you pay it before 31st December 2009.
So, I went to pay my zakat on the last day (31st Dec 2009), as usual. Procrastinating is bad, I know. The Lembaga Zakat Selangor office is just a 5 minute drive from my place, so I dropped by on my way to work anticipating for at least 1 hour of waiting before being able to pay my zakat.
Bangunan JAIS.....in front of Masjid Negeri Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah
To my surprise, I drove in, parked my car, took my number and paid my zakat in only 20 minutes. That is even taking into account the pleasant lady staff helping me calculate how much I needed to pay. She was very calm and helpful eventhough the place was full of people.
Complaints and bad reviews are always what we hear when people deal with government or in this case local authorities. But I am giving two thumbs up to the people at Lembaga Pungutan Zakat Selangor (LPZS) for their efficiency and service with a smile approach. I hope I will get the same treatment when I deal with another government branch in the future.
Again, a horrible road accident as a result of human carelessness occurred. The Sani Express bus that crashed at Km 272.8 on the North-South Expressway resulting in 10 people dead was due to the driver falling asleep at the wheel. The admission was from the bus driver himself. Breathalyzer and blood test done on the driver came out negative.
The two tier bus was heading north before it skidded and hit the road divider around 1 a.m. The victims were seated on the lower deck. The two drivers and 36 other passengers were only slightly injured. The crash did created a temporary slowed down the traffic flow at that stretch and it only eased up around 8 a.m.
Police have remanded the driver until Wednesday to facilitate them in their investigations.
Not all bus drivers are bad. But some are really reckless and can be called rogues on the roads. I really hope the authorities come down hard on the driver and be made an example to other bus drivers.
Yesterday, I went to war....on a Tuesday! The whole of Tune Talk (www.tunetalk.com) came together at Canyon Paintball, located at Kota Damansara (inside The Club) for a war amongst ourselves. Yes...against each other. The whole event was set up as a team building exercise. Great! I can finally break my paintball virginity.
Canyon Paintball battlefield
We were split into two teams, Team A & Team B, my team. Wish we had thought of more gempak or more creative names for our teams but pretty names don't win you the war. Tune Groundshakers would had Team A quacking in their boots.
The weaklings........ Team A
The strong and mighty..... Team B (me on the left with war face on)
We were briefed by David from Canyon Paintball on the rules of paintball. "Sock off !, mask on!" and "Sock on!, mask off!" were ringing in my ears throughout. The other most important rule was NEVER take of your head gear. A stray pallet would make you lose your eyesight. Although it is miles different then the real thing, the marshalls want you to think it is a real war. I think it's a good thing cos in a real battle, you lose your life.
David giving us the briefing
After the briefing, we were brought to the battlefield. We went through 3 scenarios:
1st Scenario: Free for all
The team that has the most team members still alived after the buzzer, was the victor. My team, Team B won. I didn't get shot and managed to hit 3 members of Team A. Team A zero ; Team B 1. Nice start.
2nd Scenario: Capture the Flag
The first team to capture the flag wins. Don't you know it. Team B won again. The ever gung ho, Jason Lo captured the flag and again we were victorious. Team A NIL; Team B 2. Bring it!!!
3rd Scenario: Command and Conquer
The first team to touch or get over the other's team's wall is the winner. They had a time limit of 15 minutes for 2 games each for this scenario. I became a bit Rambo in this scenario. I ran down the middle with the gun blazing but got shot before I got to their wall. But I managed to shoot 3 people on my way. I was out in a blaze of glory.Nice!
Both teams shared the spoils for the 3rd scenario. It was a good fight. I liked the last scenario. Maybe due to my Rambo-ness.
Then, we all went back to base camp to see what the damage was. My final score was 6 killed at my hands and I got 5 "souvenirs". I realised that the pallets that did not burst hurt more than those that did burst. Arrggghh!!!
Then, we had a little Xmas exchange gift among ourselves. Jason gave out the gifts ala Santa. The whole thing was a "Secret Santa" type of thing. So, now one knew who gave what to whom.
I got a box of Fererro Rocher. Thank you to the secret santa. But I was kinda sad getting them cos I know I wont get to have one once my wife sets her sight on them. Bummer!
Life is like a box of chocolates...
Jason getting his Xmas present
Us with our "One Lick" coupons...hahaha..
All in all, it was a great team building success. Everyone had a blast and some got blasted.....by me. Will do it again if given the chance.
A family friend of ours has a shop near to our home. It's a relatively small sundry shop, but it does OK, I guess. The one who usually takes care of the shop - we'll just call him Ali from hereon - is quite the joker. He jokes a lot with a lot of people too.
One day, Ali was about to close shop when this guy who looks serabut, to say the least, enters the shop.
"Cari apa bang?" Ali asked.
"Saja tengok2.." the guy answered.
A few minutes later, the guy approached the counter and whipped out a parang!
A stone-faced Ali asked, "Apa ko nak?", as if a parang to his face is nothing new.
"Aku nak duit!" the guy shouted. Stupid as well, with no mask on.
"Nah." Ali said as selamba as sleep.
"Argh, aku serabut, aku serabut!" the robber said.
"Apa lagi ko nak?" a still stone-faced Ali asked.
"Rokok, aku nak rokok!"
"Rokok apa? Winston? Kaler apa?" Ali asked.
"Merah dengan putih!" the demanding robber asked. Siap demand lagi...
"Berapa?" Ali asked again, starting to show off his true colours as a real-life joker.
The robber was starting to get pissed off, "Banyak pulak tanya ko! Bagi je la!"
Cigarettes and money in hand, the robber made a run for it, but not before Ali got hold of the car's license plate number and make.
And then, he shouted to his mum upstairs, "Mak, kita kene rompak!!"
And his mum reply was a solid...
"Ko jangan cakap mcm2 la Ali!!"
No doubt, his mum thought he was joking.
And more customers started to come in and asked for kelapa and rokok...
Ali just said to them, "Ohhh, masa perompak datang kedai, ko tak nak pulak datang sini kan??"
Well, I just like to say sorry for what happened.. but that story was just waiting to be told!
Just watched Buletin Utama on TV3 and the news that really got my attention was that those who wants to get married in Selangor would need to pay RM 300 (minimum) for mas kahwin and no ceiling rate (leaving this to the discretion of the marrying couple). That's almost a 200% increase from the RM 80 previously set for mas kahwin.
The JAIS officer said that it was high time that the rate was increased. WTH!! Maybe because me being a guy would think this increment is going to be a burden to the men. It's already enough parents these days set high dowry payments for their daughters hand (jual anak), then you get this announcement? I hope guys out there don't start to turn to snatching, burglary or other crimes in order to find cash just to get married. I'm really glad that I got married this year. And yes, my wife is from Selangor. Dodged a bullet there.
My advice to those who plan to get married......go and look outside of Selangor. It's just not worth it.
