One of my regular EsteemedReaders, Anak Merdeka, engages Desi in open and frank exchanges, mostly in civil language, sometimes above normal desibels. Such discourses I find stimulating, but she has sometimes misreads my character. In her latest comment, she did not add a PS, I love you, but: "I'm seriously risking your ire in saying the above but Desi, I just got to say it. Hope u understand the reason why."
No, mGf on blogosphere -- I welcome opposition views, as long you give the rationale. It's people who come in with opone-liners taking potshots at other people's expense -- such would earn my ire. People who come with questions, even contrasting views, stating the premises to support their grounds -- I'll engage you till the cows come home.
Yet another group earns not my ire, but they won't earn my esteem. Just coming with bashing others, with no suggestions about the solutions, or at least, some attempts to remedial the problems. It's people I term mourners -- they have lots of grouses against leaders, organisations or even individuals they don't like, but they prefer to watch from the sidelines, who earn my disdain, not ire.
It's like those electors who have voted for four or five General Elections, each time crossing against the Dacing; yet just a year after the "new" Government's rulke, they complained, complained, then sit back and do nothing but contribute to the white noise around the mamak stall, or worse yet, at the air-con Coffeee Lounge, and worst of all, at the blardy Spa at 5-star hotel entertaining the Barian component party corporates -- you have heard of UMNOputras, but have you heard of Superbumis from MCA?
I also told AM that "...what would earn my ire is like some 70-80% Chinese adults complaining, complaining, whining and whining -- and you put up a simple challenge to them: please join Desi and comrades on a Sunday morn at the Seremban Toll Plaza to protest the Plus toll hikes, they respond without hesitation "NO-lah, I ..."
This is a real incident, January 1, 2005 Desi gathered with some 25 citizens. galvanised by PKR and PAS and some individuals, spent celebarting the calendar New year protesting against what we deem "bloodsucking" highway operators working in cahoots with the status quo government in a bsuiness with "guaranteed profits".
Can you imgaine if 1,000 Serembanites had taken the trouble to Protest" an unfair situation to PLUS and their cronies in Government...
Yes, when one has a problem, run to the One-Man welfare officer named Datuk Michael Chong at Wisma MCA, get your 15 minutes of fame, get your "personal" problem solved PRIONTO, and you think you have done your best!
I say: YOU HAVE DONE ALL OTHER CITIZENS A DISSERVICE.
It's such political party-linked activists like Michael Chong (no relation of mind) who are misguided in doing public services, and hence are a barrier to certain moves to demand the Government set up Public Complaints bureas in all states and major cities. Members of the public receiving aid from the likes of Michael Chong (he has a few counterpart at MCA State levels) feel obligated to him/them personally/ MCA the party he represents misguidedly.
Other parties are fighting for OMBUDSMEN to be set up to precisley play such roles --temporarily "usurped" by these M Chongs, and you think they do it totally out of altruism? -- on an institutionalised basis, free of partisan poltics. It's our civil rights as tax-payers and law-abiding citizens to expects instituinalised channels to channel our complains and for options of redress. Not to run to the MCA Hq and make heroes of certain individuals.
What Desi is trying to promote here is that we must not fall prey to MISGUIDED INDIVIDUALS who make themselves an INSITUTION IN THIR OWN LIFETIME. WE want to make citizens aware of their civic duties to represent themselves. UIf you have a problem with Immigration, don't run to Michael Chong at the slighest hint of an obstacle. Go with a well-versed freind to demand you rights as a citizen to be entertained properly. PERIOD. No ang-pow. No obligation.
I don't know if this saying is apt, if not, please pardon Desi~~"The path to hell is path with many good intentions."
So to activists like AM, Maverick and even Howsy based abroad (activist in vocalising one's views with rationality, civic intentions to move NegaraKu forward ...)-- I assure you, you are more than welcome to speak your mind at Desi's Place. In fact, I feel motivated by their vigour, I also would like companionship in my struggle too. No traveller enjoys the journey travelling alone.
However, Desi sometimes holds some pretty strong views of his own too, but he's prepared to hear you out; Desi's prepared even to change, or adapt, those views if opponents come forward to show him a better platform, or that Desi's views are clearly "out of this world"!
Meanwhile, I can share this with you. I don't particularly like Anonymous commenters; those who use pennames have links to a "persona" to their personal webpages/sites/blogs -- this I'm comfortable with. Anonymous commenters blasting with s-x-shhoters are just balsting with lots of Sound and Fury -- but is he/she someone I can hold to his/her expressed views. In the same way, I have urged my Readers to take Anwar Ibrahim's public statements "in good faith" which he has to be judged against in the longer term. He's a high profile politician, not an Anonymous entity hiding in the shadows of darkness.
So long, matey, take care, and I do hope I get 95% of my Post's message across today, after a stern reprimand from Mave, acting in concert...
DESIDERATA was interrupted after just posting this campus development wityhout my usual comments.
This is an UPDATE with an second item also related to undergrads which I feel an important thread can be made; so bear with em.
From the NST July 6, 2006:
Female undergrads outnumber males again
06 Jul 2006
PUTRAJAYA: Females again outnumber males in the 2006/2007 intake at local universities.
Universiti Utara Malaysia and Universiti Putra Malaysia reported that 70 per cent of their freshies were females, with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia trailing closely with 67.7 per cent.
The registration of new undergraduates took place on July 2.
Universiti Malaya, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Universiti Sains Malaysia and Universiti Sarawak Malaysia also reported that more than half of their first-year intake were females.
Only Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, whose core courses are engineering, bucked the trend: 5,562 of its 9,269 students are males.
~~~~~~~
From theSun frontpage yesterday~~~~~~~
MPs to brainstorm on UUCA
KUALA LUMPUR: Members of Parliament will get a chance to brainstorm and give their feedback on the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA) within the next two months.
Higher Education Deputy Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat said his ministry would conduct brainstorm sessions in Parliament building, although not inside the Dewan Rakyat.
Ong said he would likely use small groups for these sessions and that the ministry was still working out the logistics.
"What's more important is that the ministry has in principle agreed to create an avenue for MPs to work together on how to improve the Act," he said.
"Datuk Mustapa Mohamed (the Higher Education Minister) wants us to get feedback and wrap things up by September."
DESIDERATA: Women power will continue to grow in Malaysia, which is a good thing, and for starters, maybe in my lifetime, I will see the first female Prime Minister, in tandem with the trend worldwide -- now too many to mention of women heading their governments.
What I wish to say here is that many female students on campus, or even after joining the workplace, are reluctant tp play an active role in Poltics. I know it can be a "dirty" field to enter, but if all the good people choose to boycott politics, the field can only become murkier. And the price you pay is the usurpation of your rights and privileges, just quoting one analogy.
The Government gives an impression it is "liberating" the campus grounds by allowing the freedom to take part in "guided" political activisties, by reviewing the UUCA, with an aim to removing certain restrictions.
To Desi, it's just another PR exercise. To give a semblance of another sppringtime of gretaer freedom of expression and participation, but in reality, the ACT should be discarded, not just reviewed. So it is just a facade, and the past three decades has seen such a deterioration of the "quality" of communication among undergraduates, or ven freshly-minted grads, it led Professor Emeritus KHOO KHAY KIM to assert that he finds it diffuclt to discourse with them anymore, unlike the pre-UUCA days. The majority of these post-UUCA generation of grads -- from local universities as the UUCA doesn't apply to campuses -- can't communiicate properly, what more debate critically and rationally.
Do you remember several months back, a group of local university students -- ALL MALE! -- presented a happy-looking Najib Tun Razak, with a memorandum calling on the Government to CONTINUE WITH THE UNIVERSITIES AND UNIVERSITY COLLEGES ACT. See how effectively the Government has managed to "brainwash" the residents of local campuses that they willingly ask that their voices be muted and their basic freedoms be curtailed! THere was a photograph showing how proud the students were to be identified with the DPM. And wishing on graduation to join his ranks to perpetuate the status quo? Maybe they have been receiving favours like some PSD, State government or semi-government or MARA scholarships to make them feel beholden?
So my appeal to the female undergards is not to surrender their representation to their male counterparts. I am hopeful with such a substantial 70% female enrolment, the ladies will lend a bigger voice to have critical thinking and more socially-oriented minds in tandem with a nation striving to become a Developed Nation. You need to be active in politics because like it or not, decisions made by politicians affect your daily life!
Just 15 years away from Vision 2020's target year of attainment, I hope the female undergraduate today will stand up to that "group" of male counerparts and say: Don't regress our minds. We need to move upwards the ladder of liberal discourse,into an era of openness and transparency of governance, as expresssed by our PM. WE wonlt let narrow-thinking leaders to help the misguided leaders to quicken the slide down into mediocrity and triipodism of the status quo.
I have faith in the female populace because in Blogsworld, I have met some articulate YoungOnes like Theels, Sabrina and kyels. As for Helen and Anak Merdeka -- are you still on campus, and hence governed by the UUCA?

I understand your concern about the rights of the rakyat not being fulfilled but, to point your finger at certain individuals/parties for meddling in the normal process of 'problem solving' is not fair. :-)
You are saying (I might be wrong lar, like anak merdeka, I cannot break all the code all the time)so, pls correct me if I read u wrong. MY Engrand not that good....
1)the reason why 'Public Complaints bureaus' are not set up or as effective because they are ppl (like MC, but not Mr Hammer)who upset the natural process...
2) Mourners are made because they are spoilt by ppl like MC and other aspiring MCs...
Now, from my side, what I see is..
1) the reason why the MCs and aspiring MCs of bolehland are here because there is no place the rakyat can put forward their complaints. Not the other way round.
2) As for mourners, these people are also known as human. That's how humans are... but to attribute the ugly side of human nature to peeps like MC, is not fair ...
"It's such political party-linked activists like Michael Chong (no relation of mind) who are misguided in doing public services,..."
I do not know MC personally well enough to arrive at the conclusion about his 'misguidance' in doing public good in this matter. Maybe Mr Desi does..?? If I'm not wrong, he does not run for office, right? Would Mr Desi be just as upset if MC belongs to religious groups, charity groups etc and not MCA? I felt it's not fair his motive is being questioned here. If I recall correctly, didn't Mr Desi said this about ex-DPM? "Let's NOT question a person's otives-lah.." *blow whistle... Double standard, double standard**
Desi, somehow when you implied that people who "talk talk talk" but when it comes to taking up the banner and stand by the roadside to show that they "cakap serupa bikin", these are the same ones not having the guts to show up - such people have no business talking ... did I get your message right?
Why do I feel "boh song"?? Is it b'coz you hit some right buttons?
Me "talk talk talk" behind an anonymous blog. Quite the same, isn't it? No "locus standi" ...
But I assure you, it is not for lack of guts. It is much more complicated than that. And that goes the same for some people who don't participate actively in public protest gatherings. A myriad of reasons, some truly valid whether you choose to agree or not.
And anyway, the same talkers are also voters. I'd say you're right if they "talk one thing, vote another".
I'm glad Helen is keen to engage you on this issue as well. I kinda feel like she understands me better ... maybe b'coz we are both stumped by da Desi Code!
*Phfeeetttt!!!* *Half-time*
The cows need a break ... it's still a long way home. :(
Desi...i enjoyed reading your post today. The tenor and the language is just right, and the there is a nice focus. Very reader friendly and hence appropriate to your blogging goals and the Negaraku dream we both share.
(Anyway, since I more free today, I also comments a bit.) I uderstand why you feel that MCof MCA is misguided, but I also think such people still perform a service of sorts in that, though tied and chained to the present system, its popularity and the publicity received in the airing of some issues (yes, limited and sometimes, shallow) does provide a 'middle way' in subverting the system. You probably will argue that the system allows some of such minor 'channels' for it to retain control of the populace, but I guess I am bit hopeful here...at least, some things are aired. Let's hope that the 'some' will generate enough momentum to become a nice 'wave'.
Bitter pessimist but still dreaming
oops, grammar, "are just right...". I no good to become teacher lah, but onli know how to talk poesy.
Desi, todays article does prompt much thinking. It sounds esoteric and surreal.
Firstly, I must agree that those who wants to voice dissent on certain key issues like sucking toll rates and one-sided agreement should join the public peaceful demos at plazas to highlight their plights and dissents.
Similarly, the fuel hike and tariff hikes could follow such steps of public outrage and peaceful demos.
However, some issues like wife battering, chinadolls, rape, and which could not be publicly paraded, they need an avenue like MC, or Fernandes.
But many are not seeing through the smokescreen via MC-guided publicity. It is not about that he is from a political party; it's more to it down under. It's a game, a politically motivated economic game where the commercial benefits are the objectives behind the smokescreen [period].
Just a note: blogspheres are a totally new type of animals that are conveying information and analytical diagnosis. At such, many prefers to use pseudonyms, pennames, etc; it's justified and its the name of the new game - the game of information exposure and sharing without the need for personal attention and publicity.
I agree that your reference to mourners are those who pours tirade without essence and lacks intellectual discourse. It include those who pours racial disparaging remarks with absolute disregard to the evil of social disintegration and tantamounts to an attack on civilization. It includes the ppl of various races. It's important we see the need to co-exist and have sentiments to those who are in destitute conditions and needs assistance. The center of discourse is the imbalance and disappropriate implementation of the rent-seeking system. It's what we call bad laws and bad laws are not laws in the philosophy of jurisprudence and should be disregarded and disobeyed. However, the community we are in seems 50 years left behind the technological and industrial age where globalization and liberalisation have entered into the second era of change; yet, we have not adapted the globalization of the first era into the Malaysian system of governance. Worst still, the political masters are still hybernating within the age of agricultural revolution.
The saying goes: those who go to sleep on their claim should not be assisted by the system to recover their beneficial interests.
as much as Ms.Fashion loves intellactual banters....Ms.Fashion is not articulate enough to be in the field. also....very lazy to read ALL desi's looooonnnnnnggg winded posts. hehe...so...i guess i just shuddap n occasionally make my fashionshow appearances. :> adios
Desi, I sent you an email.
*sobs* You've met me too!!
Just look at the newborns. They are mostly baby girls. The Quran says that when it's nearing the end of the world (or hari kiamat), there will be more women than men. So, it's nearing now...
Like fashionasia, I shut up because I am totally clueless but I enjoyed your current and few previous posts including your pun on politics over the sea :)
Enjoy the weekend!
helen:
I'm looking at the BIGGER PICTURE where we do not need to PERSONALISE certain services eg WElfare, as in the case of MC, which serves a public service, only for the meantime - but at the longer term to INSITUTIONALISE such provisions of services, be it welfare, civil rights, woneb's issues. So the recipeints of such services are NOT OBLIGATED cf if you received aid from MC of MCA hq, of course there remains the residual sense of gratitude (remember Dr Mahathir's famous reminder?).
!) Not 'uspetting" the proces, but hampering, or slowing down, because the Gomen -- the BN one I'm talking about -- would say: Ah, MC is doing a fantastic job, no need at the moment to prioritise the setting up of Ombudsmen, follow?
2) No, never did I suggest mourners are created by the likes of MC; I just "pulled" out a guestimate of some 70% based on my "narow" sample of public Joe/Jane i've interacted with as a journo/civil issues-cum-political activist (yeah, I had/ ould continue to take part in these demos (if I am coonvinced of the causes eg against fuel and toll hikes...)to enrich some robber-baron individuals and corporations )upsetting some weekend shoppers who'd damn those OKTs linked with Reformasi movement for Justice-cum-Anwar...
So the logical extension of my point that my Post does not decry the noble efforts of charity works undertaken by religious and other non-political groups. I salute them. MC's links via MCA are beyond doubt, and I again ask: You think it's all done out of ALTRUISM?
anak merdeka:
"Desi, somehow when you implied that people who "talk talk talk" but when it comes to taking up the banner and stand by the roadside to show that they "cakap serupa bikin", these are the same ones not having the guts to show up - such people have no business talking ... did I get your message right?
Why do I feel "boh song"?? Is it b'coz you hit some right buttons?"
Anak M: You did NOT get the message right! I directed that at "people that I had interacted with, who just talk, and talk and get a high (syiok sendiri, mGf Howsy uses that nice word" -- but asking them to spare some time to join in civil action (yes, even putting down his/her name to a civil rights pettion"...) They say: No-lah, I...(citing 101 reasosn, by chiefly they are COWARDS, scared as if such a simple Citizens' Rights action would invite the Special Branch> It's ....shit, the SB has higher targets to focus on, they won't have time for you ikan bilis! so don't make yourselves *pseudo-martyrs!)
PS: * this subject will be taken up at a furure forum, patience okay? Insya-Allah.
So AM, no need to " feel "boh song"..." hitting "wrong" buttons, YES, Desi's weakness, including Helen's too, because jst via Blog exchanges, here at at your own, I wish just 25% of the female undegrads have your conviction; I thought my assurance given in the Post body was good enough, now I must 'Za you!'?
dreamer idiot:
I know "what you mean", following bro Mave's advice. I guess in certain posts I over-used DDC eh? (my fault, my weakness, I must amend, attend, not sure about end...)
DI -- poesy is good for the soul, I wish more Malaysians can find a li'l time from the hustle-bustle of earning dime to ENJOY wine of words so sublime.
We'll drink some honeyed verses to mutually minded friends, even fiends because I beleive some animals can be tamed by poetry and fine women of song, music as we tra-la-la all night long..."Primrose, care to join us around the campfire?" juest beware of the wolves lurking in the black forest, waiting...
mave: I know "surreal", will look up the dick for "esoteric" later, adds to the mystery of intercourse.
I am gladdened by thy enlightened support on several fronts.
"However, some issues like wife battering, chinadolls, rape, and which could not be publicly paraded, they need an avenue like MC, or Fernandes." Here on principle, I would still beg to differ. Like I said, it's personalisation of such women's causes with MC or Fernandes (parallels, not exactly, like at one time ISIS was Noordin Sopiee, Aliran was Chandra Mustaffa...) -- we must realise it's all about the issues.
If chirches, temples and masjids undertake those functions, it's the organisation-basede and that's what I am directing my ER' attention to. Don't insitutions of certain individuals lest they ascend (I prefer descend) to demi-GOD status. Okay, let's move on, I think I've over-killed my stance, in which case, I seek your apologies.
And there's another personality -- Nades of Ciztzen Nadeswaran gfame has also writ about him, I won't even mention his name because he sold out My Party (yes, I was a card-carrying member of that Party, you can guess right, but no rpice!) at a nnmost critical/crucial time, and subsequently well rewarded with Directorships...and yet wanting to front himself as a "social activist" -- 'rite, my foot!
**Mave, I'm so thankful for the rest of your INPUT< which is of sufficeint import I seek your permission to delay my response as I would incorpoarte with forthcoming weekend's rumination, okay? Again, barring unforseen circumstances, we'll discourse some national issues comingSat/Sunday.
**This I had also promised another ER, xpyred and others who similarly had touched on related issues -- pertaining to Role of Opposition and Anwar Ibrahim, Dr M-Pak Lah's spat ...even the Fourth Estate, and if you still have to ask Desi what this estate is all about, NO, it's not about Seremban or Sugang Jaya property markets! -- getooouch of here, but come back-lah after you've commiserated with bro Mave!:)
fashionista:
You under-rate yourself!
Remember I borrowed your "Encounter with a snatch thief" Post?
Yeah, I helped brush up your engrish a little, needling you about "definItely" saying that "I" is more important than "A".
Being civic minded -- being proactive to bring such an incident to public eye so fellow Malaysians can learn a lesson or 2 - is itself a political action. (The morners would be those telling their stories in the mamak stall, and you ask them__ Have you made a police report? "No use-lah! Those idiots ..." and go on another long whine on tehe Police...to these people, my short answer "Pls SHUD the F***s UP!"
I think I need to say more I.S.A. as since taking up blogging, I also "embraced" some swear words...
But WTH, I also need to look after my BP ..and keep at long distance Miss AtenoLOL.
imran:
I ill check Email later; "how come you reserved your comments nowadays?"
Did i also 'Uniwitiingly" sent you some "bad messages" mGf?
PRose:
Ah, I don't knwo what this is all about, I seem to be sending/receiving messages of "mixed signals" from some ER..."*sobs* You've met me too!!"
I had earlier anticipated you'd enjoy such outings in the forest, with some B'g, B'd wolves from KL waiting on the dark fringes wwhile we sing and dance around the bonfire.
Tra-la-la with Desi, Madamemoseile? "Those were the days, my friends, I thought they'd never end ..." Merci, merci...
twisted heels:
Thou art in England, surely the UUCA does NOT bind you?
Freedom of expression, and surely Y&A still on campus have many and diverse views -- even if you beg to disagree, I'll still offer the Tehtarik, you know, minus the suagr-lah BUT I'll try to sugaroat with Shakespeare's or Emily Dick....'s prose or verse.
Merci for thy kind words, must make a few copies and play before I sleep tonight to prepare for the weekend debate...:)
Fellow Malaysians O-C: Take good caress of each other, and come back soon so we can fight the battle to-2-gether. A lone traveller in blogosphere and the realworld can be so, yes, LONESOME.
In every society, there will always be, though not restricted to, activists, mourners, dirge-singers, fence-sitters, laggards, followers, innovators, and most important, leaders. This applies to various apects of life, not just simply politics. So in a general sense, the "success" of an idea, policy, strategy, etc. depends on the varying composition of the factors. If there are more leaders, innovators and followers than others, the chances of a successful policy or ideology implementation will be greater, and the rate of change is faster.
However, it has to be assumed that the leaders and innovators are people of respectable qualities and integrity, and have the WILL and COURAGE to want to change society for the better, not for personal agenda. It's absolutely absurd to have committees everywhere, studying various problems and making sound recommendations to the leaders, but there is no political will and courage to IMPLEMENT those changes or implement them in a FAIR and JUDICIOUS manner! In such situations, there will be no advancement but chaos, and problems will compound themselves to the point of a total break-down in the system; while foreign investment will shy away, meaning loss of potential jobs. Over time, the ground will be made fertile for undesirable rebellion.
When you're lost at sea, you'll be just glad there's a helping hand in front of you to pull u out of troubled waters. Still expect them to look at the bigger picture, "hmm, is it good for the future of this country?" or "hey, u help me u sincere or not, if not, i dun want your help."
It's never easy to look at the big picture. If *you're standing at the peak, you see further but, when the building appears like ants, you don't see the people at all.
Many who do not have the luxury to see the view at the top will just have to be contented with what they see.
*I'm not referring to the garmen people. I'm referring to those rakyat who has the luxury of education, position and knowledge.
joepsc:
AS usual, such discerning views and words of wisdom to share. But affairs here are taking on "overtones" whicxh may disfugure bilateral ties bewtween sing-mal land' I sued "land" in the singular because in reality, we should have been "one nation" under the Asean sun, but Politics got in the way. And again, pretty soon according to my Radar, POlitics will read its ugly head like a Hydra and the waters below the Cosway may not remain calm anyone. Another bruidge, straight or crooked, Bullet train or lembu keleta, might not be able to break down the "invisible wall" that our +"nationalist" politicians build up.
+Nationalist would be their claim & clarion call, but as I say, The path to hell is paved with many good intentions.
Maybe these "dungus" would find such engrish too deep ... they exist better as crocs in shallow mud or riverine waters...
helen: your first para is agreable to me.
The next, esp the last, causes a lot of "discomfort" in Desi; HOW DOES "I'm referring to those rakyat who has the luxury of education, position and knowledge" this FACTOR arise?
Shed some light please, dear Ipoh sisdar, otherwise, I won't sleep like a babe at nite. I don't think I ever wrote or implied in my Post today the FACTOR referred to in the quote... this time it's my eyes opening to decipher Helenic Code. Myhaps Anak Merdela can help Desi...:)
Hey, both of you, when I wrote "...acting in concert..." it was never in seriousness, more my usual pulling thy legs, so don't read anything "negative" in my digs! Ooops, another word that may give rise to....
"there's gotta be a bigger picture, see the bigger picture, etc etc"
You see, I've read many comments (not all from your blog) from some individuals who professed higher insights, deeper knowledge about the politics of this land. They know something the ordinary Joes/Janes of this land don't. (which may be true) But, I detest their arrogance or disdain when people do not see what they saw. (Hey, dun perasaan har, I'm not pointing at you..:-))
I know there are individuals who maybe through their work, association or education afforded them the luxury of deeper insights into the current political picture. Fine. Embrace your knowledge, heck, maybe even pass it to the unknowing souls..... but don't go stand high up on the pedestal and shake head and said, "..you silly people......if only you know.."
On a personal note, I thank GOd for internet. It's becos of the net, I become more conscious of our politics. Would Mr Desi be so politically aware if u had not been in this line of work?
Pssst, now can you go watch football?? lol
helen:
I could sleep like a babe tonight -- then wake p 2.45pm, fix myself some tehtarik kosong plus a peanut butter sandwich, 2 or 3 if helen joins me lah! -- yes, to watch WC Finals. Bet MY team will win -- I can fix one!
Helen -- I know the scenario you described; but when you feel "discomfort" reading certain sites, just do speed-reading like I do-lah, get MOVE ON. For your own good BP reading -- keep Mr Ternomin at bay! Like I do to Miss AtenoLOL!
PS to Theels: Have you found Nobel Prize winning drug to replace these HPP pills with some hi-tasting drink like GOODBP-Coke?:)
PS to Helen:
"Would Mr Desi be so politically aware if u had not been in this line of work? " ~~~ I think it was the other way round.
I moved into thsi career because I was inclined to this line of work that keeps me motivated and maximises my God-given predilection to exquisite writing.
Like one johnleemk, I was reading Rousseau's The Social Contract by Form 1 and for relaxation, Lady Chatterley's Lover DH Lawrence -- the D is for Darn'd and H is for Hyper, LOL!
