Several voices are talking sen-se

Finally.

I'm lettin' these jamfool -- or isIT gemful?-- mouths speak while I rest my over-worked brains.

Inflation has finally caught up with Desi the church-mousey writHer, and
'stead of 4 hours daily, he's putting in EIGHT LONG HOURS.
Kyels, you're thinkin' of goin' freelance writing for a Hi living?
Don't think twice, Forget IT. This IT is a gem sharing by one who has now chalked up 10 years' experience. And he's eating chalk and cheese most mousey times, and CON BF once, or twice, a weak, with some kaya thrown in.


And +TIME is running ...Ooouch - I feel a pinch on the sides from one Helen, in absentia. Can this lad' from Ipoh please come out of hiding -- I promise I'll go straight, and no more DDC from this point onwards. XXCept a writer's word is to be taken with two pinches of salt! And Desi's in a needful, sau-cy state.

What's good for the goose is also good for any gender.

GEM1 from a former Prime Minister ~~ from TheSun page 2, ++like a river flows ~~~~~



Don't relegate religion to
backyard of the soul: DrM


ASTANA (Khazakhstan): Religion
cannot and must not be relegated
to the backyard of the human soul,
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said yesterday.

It has an important place in the lives of
individuals, families, society, nations and,
eventually, the world "that is, if we are eager
to create a new world order of freedom, justice, love and peace".

The former premier said this when addressing
the Second Congress of Religious Leaders of Traditional Religions here.

He said religion is today unfortunately relegated
to the backyard of the soul and this is why religion
which, in fact, must have the essence of love and brotherhood
in everybody's life and society, seems to have become the reason
for strife and tension.

"This is a very timely congress since the world is now in turmoil
and anxiety," he said.

He said in a large way the world still remains primitive
because it still thinks that killing people is a way to solve
problems between peoples, all in the name of God.

"Time has come for us to reject the idea that war can help resolve
the problems of disagreement between peoples," he said.

He also expressed the conviction that "mutual relations between people
may be resolved through negotiations. Only this way we can stop the killings that continue today".

GEM2 from an often reclacitrant MP ~~ theStar, page N18: see Desi is very fair, quoting from two MSM! ~~~~~



MPs in accord
on pay rise
for civil servants


MPs were in agreement that civil servants’ salaries be increased to help them survive in the present times and to stop corruption.

Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN – Kinabatangan) said the current salaries were too low to meet increasing prices of goods.

Datuk Mohamed Aziz (BN – Sri Gading) suggested a 40% pay increase for those earning less than RM1,000 a month, 20% for those earning between RM1,000 and RM2,000 and a 10% increase for those earning RM2,000 and above.

“The cost of living and prices of goods have increased. Everything has gone up including petrol and house rentals,” he said.

“Even marriage dowries are more expensive now, but the pay for civil servants has yet to increase.

“How is a hospital attendant who earns RM497 a month going to survive living in a big city? What is he going to eat?”

Teresa Kok (DAP – Seputeh) stressed the need to increase the salaries and allowances of policemen by two to three times.

This would attract more young people to join the force.

“Policemen in other countries such as Britain get paid more than ordinary professionals, but not here,” said Kok.

She was surprised that Budget allocations were given for CCTVs and patrol cars but more allocation was not given to salaries.

MPs have the responsibility to speak up on any discrepancy in the delivery system, said Dr Wee Ka Siong (BN – Ayer Hitam).

“If there are leakages and we don’t reprimand and give constructive input, then we are just like them (those who created the problems).”

Desi: See, Desi is the fairest of them all. Giving equal attention to both Barisan Nasional and Oppoisition MPs. Who now is the RECALCITRANT one/s?

NO, Desi was not in his nightie, was wearing birddie suit, need to fry, like Superman, remember! to return on +TIME to file this report, so some ER don't suffer from their daily bread deprivation.:( See --Desi is also very CON-seatderate.

GEM3 from Chris, a lawyer 2B, now diverted by some nurses' attention ala Rachel at the Ward~~~~~

"I would have put the title of this post as “F.U.C.K”, but it really just made me blush. After many times of typing and deleting, I finally settle with -

F for Friendship

U for Usually

C for Contains

K for Kindness

Chris (my 11-year-old son) started his ‘autograph session’ early. Remember? We used to write autographs only when we were in graduating class, like Primary Six, Form Three, Form Five …. Chris is in Primary Five. When I asked him the reason to start early, his rationale is that some of the classmates may be streamed to other classes next year.

Last night, Rachel (my 15 going on 16 daughter) showed me Chris’ autograph and said, “Look what the young ones are learning these days.” She sounded like a young lady. I took a look, a girl classmate has written in Chris’ autograph this -

F.U.C.K - Friendship Usually Contains Kindness

And the young lady and old woman both burst into laughers. *LOL*

The girl classmate also wrote -

RM - It’s not Ringgit Malaysia, it is Remember Me

Creative! Right?

Children are just wellspring of inspiration!

And lust, but not beast,

GEM4 from -- drum roll! -- who else but the knotty Desiderrata?

It's better to keep your big mouth shut and let others think you a fool than to open up and confirm fast and sure, that thou art one. I borrowed this saying, but I could have been its author had I reached the Patents Office first, but I ain't no good runner.

So my EsteemedReaders, I'll just add that the above quote came from one of the ancient sages, and the last word sometimes can be sau-cy too. Like this one -- guess who's the originator? --

Man proposes, God disposes, Woman exposes.
