insomnia

It's 2.15am now and still awake. Can't sleep......so blogging here. Tomorrow i'll have to close sales for CHHK. Should not be a problem to hit 100%. Tomorrow will be driving down to KL to meet my dear. Am happy thinking about meeting her as i bought a present for her....actually for her birthday 2 weeks ago.

Do not know why was depress today. I've never felt so down before. Just felt lonely and do not know where i'm heading to in my life. Was thinking where am i heading to in the company. Will i stay at CHHK....how long?

Looking at the political scenario in Malaysia. Lot's of people are telling me that there will be another election this September. Why all this is happening? Malaysian has choosen their representative so let it be. If you are not choosen then you'll have to reflect why people are not choosing you. Another election won't help.

Are all this people fighting to serve the Nation?? or for their own self?? MP are suppose to serve the people. To me serving the people doesn't need any post or rank. But all this people are arguing in Parlimen and also in the press just because they want to serve the people. Funny. Why go to that extend?

I really respect the former MB of Terengganu, Idris Jusoh. He's calm in accepting the fact that he is not choosen to lead the state and continuing to serve the people. Kudos to you. And not to forget Dr. Koh , who's such a political gentlemen. Accepting the fact that Gerakan has lost and is working hard to rebuilt Gerakan. This is the way that things should be.

Opposition has gain ground in the political scenario in Malaysia and are suppose to work hard in fulfilling their manifesto and not working on how to pull Barisan MP over to the Pakatan. Be gentlemen. Show to the people of Malaysia that you win because people of Malaysia choose you and not because people are hopping over.

Give our PM a break and let him manage the country. It will be even harder to manage the country with such political scenario. Focus to serve the people and not how u can criticized each other. Your brain and brawn is needed as we're now facing global issues such as fuel price increase and also the food price increase.

Sad to see that the political scenario is getting more coverage in the news rather then the cyclone victims and also the earthquake victims in Myanmar and China. Guess the political Tsunami is more important then lives that are lost and people who need help there.

Is it me or Malaysia facing insomnia??? sleepless nights....

Whatever that is happening, i'm meeting my dear tomorrow.....at least there is some sunshine in my life.





LOVE YOU MY DEAR !!

When will the petrol price increase?

Guess that is the question that is bothering everyone in Malaysia right now. India, Indonesia and China has announce the price increase and when will Malaysia announce it? The Malaysian government is making effort not to increase the petrol price by taking steps like not allowing foreign car to buy fuel in Malaysia.

Very obvious the government does not want to increase the price due to the previous election result. Due to the ego of the government many more will suffer. In my point of view why still continue to subsidize the fuel price when it takes up big portion of the government revenue.

We cannot avoid price increase in many items due to the transportation cost to bring in the item to Malaysia. Price of food has increase and many imported food will follow coz transportation cost has increase. To me it's better the government spend the money to subsidize on food items. It's better to feed the people rather then the machine.

Price of rice has gone up double. And the lower income will suffer. Fuel is not the priority of the lower income category coz most of them do not have cars or motobike. So how can we help the lower income by maintaining the fuel price. They need food not fuel.

For me working in a food company, we've faced numerous price increases. Many of the price increase is due to the increased transportation cost. Raw material which is imported to Malaysia will increase as international crude oil price is not determine by Malaysia. If the exporting country increases the fuel price automatically the raw material price will increase. My point here is that Malaysia alone cannot control the food price hike by controlling the transportation cost in Malaysia itself and people need food more then fuel.

Maintaining the price of rice is more important then maintaining the fuel price. Why not spend the money to subsidize Rice instead. Petronas is making so much profit from the current scenario. Why not reduce export and increase domestic allocation as the crude oil is drilled from Malaysian ground. Cater to the local needs first

1. www.macau.com

3. www.chinahighlights.com

4. www.travel.yahoo.com

And many more website. Am thinking of bringing my laptop there so that i can search for info during the trip. Might be useful.

Nipple Song

After settling all my bills online, i had nothing to do. Was sad seeing my balance in the account as i have load of bills to settle. Guess everyone is the same. And with the recent food price increase it worsen the situation. So went online to search for something to cheer me up.

I remember Ezan showing me this clip from buffalax which translate Indian song into english with a little modification. Very funny. So was searching for the clip in youtube and found this funny Nipple song by woodbulb.




Now in life there are full of challenges. Price of rice has gone up and will be hiking again soon as China has bought rice from Thailand to aid its earthquake victims. Crude oil price will increase again and when crude oil price increases everything increase. Like what my friend always told us. The only thing which did not increase is our pay. But what to do, we have to survive with the job as it's much tougher outside.

It's only mails and video clips that are funny that can cheer our day. Really pity those factory workers who are earning less then RM600 per month and really wonder how they can survive with such low pay.

And with the current disturbance in the government it's worse as the government will lost it's focus, as they need to settle internal affairs rather then settling national issues. Why can those who have left the government gave the current leader a chance to lead. Dr.M, you have got your time and it's already over, do give others their time and a chance to manage it. The current action by Dr.M to leave the party will only worsen the situation and the affected party will be the people of Malaysia.

I'm one of the few who still believe in BN as they have a proven track record. Maybe i'm not a risk taker and am comfortable with the current government. No doubt the government have some corruption issue but which government in the world doesn't? As long as the plight of the people is address then i feel it's acceptable. All those above are just my point of view. Nowadays have to be careful blogging and you'll never know when the ISA will come pick you up. So all the above that i've mention is only my point of view of the current situation. No harm.

Let's enjoy some indian music......or english???

SICK !!

Today i went to see doctor again. It's the second time in a week i went to see doctor. It's very unusual that i'm sick for so long. Usually i'll be sick for a few days only. But it has been a week now and i've not recovered yet and it's getting worse.

The doctor says that the antibiotic is not working and i have to take a stronger antibiotic. Feeling very very tired and don't feel like working. Might as well take some rest tomorrow.

How does it feel to be sick. Guess everyone also don't like to be sick. What the worse sickness that you've experience? not those fatal one lar of coz. As for me the worse ever that i have is food poisoning. You feel like you want to die. Plus if u take milk when you are food poisoning it make u feel want to die better. The unbearable pain will get to your brain and it'll kill your whole body system as if you're paralyse.

But for me, as an workaholic the worse sickness is that you're sick of your work. I like my work very much and if i feel i do not want to work means that there is something not right. But often i'll pick myself back. Today i don't feel like going to work tomorrow not becoz i'm sick of my work but it's that i'm tired coz of medication. The medication really make me feel sleepy.

Travelling

Nowadays have the urge to travel. Been to Bali which is super beautiful place to visit. Was just talking to Sunny yesterday when he ask me about Krabi. He's going there July i think. Me myself going to Macau with my gf and her sis in Sept 08. Been to Hong Kong and Shenzhen but not Macau. So now am looking for details about Macau.

Lot's of people told me that there are only a hand full of places where you can go at Macau. So went online to see where i can go and stay at Macau. Casino is something you dun have to mention lar about Macau coz everyone know. Places i have in my list:-

1. Ruins of St.Paul
2. Macau Museum
3. Monte Fort
4. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden
5. Dr. Sun Yat Sen Memorial House
6. Guia Fort and Lighthouse
7. Wine Museum
8. Fisherman's Wharf
9. Macau Cultural Centre
10. Guan Yin Statue
11. Senado Square

The second day maybe we'll go to Zhuhai and spend a relaxing day there. Zhuhai famous for massage and it's my favourite after tiring day. Beside that, Zhuhai is famous for it's beach. One thing about Zhuhai is that you have to have visa to enter Zhuhai from Macau. And if can multiple entry visas. Places to visit:-

1. Jiu Zhou Cheng - for shopping
2. Meixi Royal Stone Archways
3. New Yuan Ming Palace
4. Statue of Fisher Girl
5. Massage.......



The third day plan is to go Hong Kong. Again you'll need a visa from Macau. We can go by ferry to this busy island. Been there before 3 years ago and it's a nice place to visit but the road is very confusing. Places to visit:-

1. Wong Tai Sin Temple
2. Tai Ping San
3. Lan Kwai Fong
4. Disneyland
5. Ocean World - heard that it's under renovation
6. The lady street (Loi Yan Kai)
7. Avenue of Stars

Hong Kong is more beautiful at night. Maybe will stay till dawn before taking the ferry ack to Macau. The last time we went is by tour and they took us to this place own by Jacky Chan which sells bling bling....spend almost RM2k there the last time.

Okie la will update you'll when the real thing happen. All this is only planning. Thinking of going to Krabi another time before the Macau trip.

Men vs WoMen

Who is more superior??.....sexist would be labeled on my head if that question is asked.

Just happen that on my way to work a few days ago as i was listening to the radio, there is a community service message which was covey by PCK which struck me. The message says that mans in the weekend prefer to look at their girls and relax at home doing nothing and the men will be happy. But the girls in the weekend must go out for a movie with their man or window shopping if not they will not be happy.

In order to safe the relationship from another cat and dog show, why not give the guys a rest. Sit at home and guys u can give the gals some Vit M and let them shop themselves. Save all the trouble going thru the ding and dong. But in reality that doesn't happen huh.....

As a guy i understand that we only wanted some rest in the weekends. But girls are always excited about their shopping. That i do not understand why. That happen to me all the time when i visited my gf all i wanted to do is sleep and watch my tv but my gf will have the whole 2 days schedule planned out. Ended up arguing for little things like that. The most funny thing is that if u give in to her plan without a fight she'll start questioning if u've done something wrong to her. Meaning to say the girls only want to intimidate the guys as they already know what the guys wants.




I guess that is why gays and lesbians happens around the world coz they understand each other better and they have the same agenda. hahah....okie i'm signing off now.......cya....

My New Blog

Blogging here for the first time and will be blogging here from now on. My previous blog in friendster is not user friendly for me so i'm switching to google blog. Had been very sick for the past few days and have not recovered yet. So now am a little brain death actually.

Was watching news this morning and all that was reported were only that of the death toll of the two natural disaster. Myanmar has registered a death toll of over 100k and China almost 50k. It's indeed very sad to see this. It reminds me of 2004 Tsunami where my house was washed away by the big wave. Luckily all my family members survived in that disaster.




It was indeed a hard reality to accept that everything that u know and familiar with can be gone in a split second. I really do understand how those people are feeling now. So i urge those ppl who happens to glance at my blog to donate to those who are in needs now. We can't be there to help them but we can initiate something here to help.

Gonna take my rest now before my sickness disaster hits on me.....take care......peace to the world
