Friends, Devils and Bustards...

This is both a fun and serious post mainly in Verse, humour yet terse
There's some DDC, which for newcomers hear/here, stands for Da Desi Code
An endearment bestowed on YL by the hoRst/host/hostess of allofhelen.blogspot.com
I refer to her enduring charm to the aweofhelen, BC or AD or DC, calm or storm
Come on board blogswagon, jest/just to record your thoughts while still aloud/allowed
Baddder/better steal/still, engage Desi if you can
You may yet become his/her/in-between fan:)

To be cuntinu'e/continued...

GLOSSARY: Some DDC cases or *near examples are italics and bolded thus, do you *C as Desi, even *wit' wan/one eye closed?

*near or close examples because C is mainly in the realm of SMS usage, wit' is short (desideratum as oposed to this writer's namenurse... for wit which Desi tries to b'hold)

SIDEdish:

Since none of you took up my standing/sitting offer to join Desi for CON BF just now, I'm ta-pau-ing a sideDISH as entree; as part of my altruistic mission in PR-ing Blogging, I often trumpet that one luxury to indulge in at Blogswagon is to DIGRESS as much/mush as the host wants... so indulge Desi, can? Can't/cu't you say? You think Desi cares?!

Dr M: I’ve heard talk of a new Petronas chief

IPOH: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad acknowledged that he had heard talk of Tan Sri Hassan Merican being replaced as Petronas chairman, but he did not know how far it was true.
As Petronas advisor, Dr Mahathir said he was without executive powers and such appointments came under the purview of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Asked for his opinion whether it was right to replace Hassan who had proven his capabilities, he said:
“Maybe the new candidate is better and is capable in reaping more profits for the company. How do we know?”
Speaking to reporters yesterday after opening the annual general meeting of Gagasan Melayu Perak, Dr Mahathir took a swipe at Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew’s recent eight-day visit to Malaysia.
“Why should we entertain him? Do you think he will entertain us when we go to Singapore?” he asked, adding that Lee could meet “two or three people by the roadside.”

DESIDERATA: At a forum irganised by Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya,Desi squuezed in a knotty Q to Tun Dr Mahathir about PETRONAS revenues/profits and whether there was a chance of them being syphoned off... In his usual wit/sarcasm/compliment, Dr Mahathir said he could not affirm or deny this was probable...ie billions being syphoned off Petronas, the nationaloil corporation held in trust on behalf of the Rakyat.

Dr Mahathir said he was just an adviser not of the olde Britsih Adviser whose position came along with power and authority while Dr M's humble post was merely "to advise" and NOT necessarily followed by the Petronas board contrasted with the colonialist resident's command was to be executed to the last letter or thy head be axed-steamed-rolled!

I was waiting for the vacancy of Chairman to be advertised since as a citizen of NegaraKu, I stand an even 1-26million chance in getting that humble job subservient to the Adviser. Anyone here can help Desi pull some tea?

Frankly, Dr Mahathir must have heard like Desi that former minister Syed Hamid Albar was ordained for the Chair. You don't know Hamid? Malaysians, mudah lupa eh? He of the "We put her under ISA detention for her own safety!" fame ona reporter from Penang telling the truth of a staryer UMNO chieftain... and of the "Hey, we closed down a police pondon in Chow Kit because the officers themselves were not sure of their own security!" fame2. Like my own fame3 -lah -- Desi was-lah for the mightier BUM07, 08 and 09 chairs because Zorro and Rocky didn't want the rickety 08 and 09's -- you can now send your resume to All-Blogs house for BUM2010 chair, Ican help wit' Three legs if you are desperate enough to buy Desi endless rounds of tehtarik. C U!-- YL, Desi, knottyaSsusual
