Dear Esteemed Readers, by now Ive told you the nth time not to be a fence-sitter. I'd rather see you hold a membership card for the revived MCP than not being a supporter of any party at all. Okay, YL Chong is rumoured to have jumped ship from DAP to PKR, but the difference is that many of my former coleagues in DAP jumped from Opposition to MCA for a song, if you consider 1million as a karaoke cheapie. As for Desiderata always full of errata or erotica (No DDC today as Politics is the art of the serious and possible, so no joking around even if it's a round table, square or oblong. As "long" as it's not done at that ****-starred hotel down friendly Muar-ish or PeytonPlacesque Furong-way.
To put you, my dear ER, in a good mood for some propaganda that follows soon afterword (Yes, the spelling is correct!)from mGf Sdr DIN MERICAN -- whom I've not heard from for "quite" a while -- here's something light. My English purist mates say "quite" can mean either "very", "middling", "just some", so Go Figure!
Received via (pronounced either riming sound with 'trivia', or rhyming with 'wire'), so buy me that goblet of tehtarik for a English tutorial on the run!:) sms from a "knotty" reader, and "knotty" is also not DDC, as it just means that -- something that ties one up in knots, even in kinky sex the French are famous for and many Malaysians, especially the Rich and Famous, and The Bitch and (Poli)Gamous -- who does not wish to be identfied, so you have to go to Spain to seek out The Truth. They said "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain", but Desi says: "The pain in Spain is hidden in a video tape whose Truth in the plain buried will remain."

The 12th General Elections and the Future of Malaysia
January 11, 2008
From the
Office of Anwar Ibrahim
"salam sejahtera chong
In recent weeks, we have been travelling with Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim on his "Mesra dengan Rakyat" tour throughout the length and breath of Peninsular Malaysia. Unlike the privileged UMNO-BN leaders and their entourage who fly around in private jets, air force executive planes and helicopters, we travelled up to 800 kilometers or more daily per outing by road, risking life and limb to be with ordinary Malaysians in the heartland of our country. The marathon sessions must be particularly demanding on Dato Seri Anwar who still recovering from the after-effects of a major surgery to his back. But it is through sheer will power, grit and love for people to people interactions, he is able to maintain this punishing pace. He seems to have his energy level up whenever he is in the company of ordinary folks in the isolated rural communities.
Judging from the issues that were brought up and talked about during various ceramahs-issues ranging from the rising crime rate, prices of basic household items and petrol, toll charges, corruption and blatant abuses of power, quality and cost of education, healthcare, jobs, social problems, and business opportunities to national competitiveness and the state of the economy and public administration, and the moral conduct of ministers and politicians - it is clear to thousands of eager Malaysians we met that the forthcoming 12th General Elections is not about Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim per se. It is about our country and where we as Malaysians-not Malays, Chinese and Indians- are heading towards. It is a choice of more of the status quo or change for a better future.
It is not about personal vendetta; it is not about bad mouthing the ruling regime, or about power hungry people in-waiting. It is about the rakyat and their basic needs and hopes for a better future. It is about our national pride and future direction. It is about the economy and proper and prudent management of our limited resources through good governance. It is about our youth and their future. It is about our children's education. It is about "keadilan untuk semua"(justice for all). It is, in short, about our rights as citizens and the future of our country in an increasingly globalised world.
While UMNO and the rest of the Barisan Nasional component parties have gone out of their way to discredit Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim by using HINDRAF issues or launching personal attacks, spreading lies and anything else they can lay their hands on. In fact, they are harping on other irrelevant and trivial issues in their effort to divert the rakyat's attention from the real issues. They have been trying to create a "feel good" atmosphere with announcements of the Northern, East Coast, and Southern corridors together with other mega-projects. They are also using EPF and PNB and state unit trust funds to prop up the stock market.
Ever since Merdeka, now into its 51st year, the Barisan Nasional government has been disguising its failures as successes through the well tested and organized means of re-branding projects and mental conditioning of the rakyat through its controlled mess media network. Currently, we have people in power and those connected to those in power through marriage and other relationships who think that they are the bosses and can " fool all the people all the time".
The present UMNO- led coalition government is like a huge tree trunk infested with termites: the outside looks good whilst the inside is rotten to the core. It is now only a matter of time before it will implode.. One cannot sweep dirt under the carpet all the time, sooner or later, it will show and tragedy befalls our country.
We have begun to see evidence of systemic breakdown, more so in recent months with the government flip flopping on many issues and policy decisions. Prices of essential food items are spiraling out of control. The worse is yet to come and this discredited government is waiting to approve another round of price increases after the elections. Fuel cost and toll charges are expected to rise. There is a shortage cooking oil because of our failed energy policy. Last year (2007), serious crime rate rose by 13.4%. Because the Prime Minister is weak and incompetent, there is serious infighting within UMNO and its component partners. This list keeps growing. Yet the government spinners, and the controlled media say that Malaysia is in great shape.
50 years of UMNO-BN rule should be enough. What have seen is corruption and abuse of power on the rise, sheer incompetence, a corrupt Judiciary, and total disregard for the rule of law and civil liberties, and a dysfunctional public administration, especially in the once much respected civil service and dignified Police Force.
A new dawn awaits us if we dare to make the change and vote in favour of an alternative government which is committed to good governance, the rule of law, and justice for all led by Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.
Dato Seri Anwar is in the considered opinion of many observers at home and abroad the best leader there is in Malaysia today. Through his charisma and brilliant 16-year track record of public service, he is able to hold both Al-Fadhil Hadi Awang's PAS and Lim Kit Siang's Democratic Action Party (DAP) in coalition with Parti KeADILan Rakyat together, and form a government that transcends considerations of race, color and religion. This alternative government will bring Malaysia into the 21st century as a truly respected member of ASEAN, the OIC and NAM, and the United Nations. He has earned the trust of the thousands of Malaysians he met and touched during his recent tour of Penang, Kedah, Negri Sembilan, Terengganu and Johor.
He said that his Malaysian Economic agenda will deliver strong economic growth. In this regard, it is worth quoting him as follows:
"...agenda ekonomi perlu terpancar dari hasrat memacu pertumbuhan pantas; agar negara melonjak maju dan menjamin faedah dan keselesaan kepada rakyat terbanyak. Maka selain dari kerangka kebajikan ekonomi; jentera pelaksana dan badan penguatkuasaan juga harus berwibawa dan bertanggungjawab.
Hanya dengan jiwa merdeka mampu kita robohkan kerawang dan tembok yang membelenggu pemikiran, memundurkan negara dan menindas rakyat. Tokoh politik, sarjana, aktivis, pekerja dan mahasiswa harus merasa tercabar untuk berfikir dengan waras dan bertindak dengan bijaksana".
Malaysia will then be an abode of peace and harmony, where all Malaysians can live and prosper together. There will be justice for all. So, the time for change has come."

Peyton Placesque Furong Succumbs to Bad Wolf
This writer is a proud Furongknight and I have fondly nicked my hometown a modern ***Peyton Place -- in the olde days you took a gal-next-door for just one outing, and within a day the town was abuzz naming you and that lucky/unlucky gal as a couple. Ttthhhrrreee decades later -- after Mia Farrow as Allison Mackenzie (1964-1966) and Ryan O'Neal as Rodney Harrington, do you remember? -- grew up from B&W into more adult coloured roles -- Seremban is still much Peyton-Placesque except the gossips start later, like 24 X SE7EN? Teenagers and adults today are distracted by Internet cafes, Hotels -- like in friendly Muar-lah! -- and yes, 7ELEVENs!
***I read the original novel by Grace Metalious, Peyton Place had already been made into a major motion picture. Anyone have a copy I can borrow wit' no intention of returning it? Fair exchange for my book --
I must dig up the dog-eared copy to lend thee, or auction at eBoi:) now that moo_t stll has not reverted wit'20mil for just face-lifted My Blue Heaven -- and in the 1970s,the happenings depicted were considered more scandalous than recently forced-to-resign Hell -- oops, Health! -- Minister's dalliance over an unlucky sexcapade.
But I am proud we gave the world -- okay, make it Malaysia! -- the Furong Siew Pau, Ngau Nam fun-d, and yes, an ass of a poet-pirate, Desi fool of errata or erotika! And one more, first astronut into space riding on a Russian craft, which our generous leaders are now considering buying for a song -- RM500million. (To Petronas it's a song okay! Or small change when annual profits, net or netted!, amount to a cool
RM50billion. And they say pump rizes would soon be raised because world oil prices are rising,and that Sdr Anwar Ibrahim and YL Chong are talking cock that the pump prices should be falling instead.

Co-ed school it is not
SEREMBAN: It is supposed to be a co-ed school but boys and girls at SMK Senawang Jaya near here are not allowed to mix.
They are not allowed to study in the same classroom or eat at the same table in the canteen. In fact, a new block was built to ensure their classrooms were located away from each other.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, who was clearly incensed by the school’s decision to segregate its students, has asked for a report from the state Education Department on how this could have happened.
“This is very much against the policy of the Education Ministry. A co-ed school is meant to be a co-ed school. Headmasters cannot decide to have different policies for their schools,” he said.
Centre of controversy: SMK Senawang Jaya in Seremban has created a storm by not allowing boys and girls to mix despite it being a co-ed school.
Mohamad said if parents wished to send their children to only all-boys or girls’ schools, they should be given the option to decide so.
State Education director Abdullah Mohammad said SMK Senawang Jaya had not been given permission to segregate its students.
Abdullah, who met the school's officials after being told of the matter on Wednesday, said he had directed its senior assistant to ensure the policy was rescinded immediately.
“In fact, I was surprised when told that there were different walkways for male and female students. This cannot be allowed,” he said.
The school headmaster Muhammad Amir YM Shariff was away performing the haj in Mecca.

DESIDERATA:
(1)Mr Menteri Besar: Show the moron head a "Show Cause" letter to be handed over by the deputy head at the KLIA as he returns fromhis pilgrimage, to show the Education Ministry means business. The deputy headmaster should not bethe one holding the "baby"!
(2) You are surprised, Mr State Education director Abdullah? -- Mohammad ... "when told that there were different walkways for male and female students."
All this while, there are many Little Napoleons at the local councils who have enjoyed media coverage -- thanks to Citizen Nades and some nosey-parker Bloggers! -- and now such Napoleons in the school sector are being exposed, down in my hometown, I am so ashamed! -- and you are surprised?
NegaraKu is suffering a systemic breakdown because many government "officials" are surprised by shenanigans committed by Litle Napoleons -- Here, There, Everywhere -- and now my dear State, Negri Sembilan, is following the path of neighbouring most advanced State in Malaysia. Port Klang state assemblyman Zakaria Mad Deros enjoyes immunity because a "bigger" Little Napoleon whoh happens also to be the Menteri Besar is under his big "thumb", bigger than Zak's RM7-10million "small house".
ARE ALL THESE little napoleons following the example of the Supreme Napoleon escounced in the lush greenery called Putrajaya?
Dear ER, your guess is just as goode as mine. I am just a little writHer down in Furong using my "lastik" sling taking potshots at the birds at Taman Senawang Jaya.
The lastik won't be able to bring down the B'g, B'd Wolf who visited from Koala Lumpuh, so help us God/Allah from more of the same such bigots! ~~ Amen/Amin

Moral and Language Policing
Today's Post is special -- it's supposed to occupy Desi's Sunday rumination, but a writer always makes exceptions to acomoodate changing circumstance and news breaks, so treat the following as a week-day (IF DDC were used, it would read weak-dae, but I refrain) bonus. This is slight compensation from this generous host (if DDC: hoRst:) for employess who only got a month-bonus when they were expecting sexy six, last Christmas from their hardcore-socialist-turned-capitalist bosses.
As starters, mGf Sdr capitalist ChooNC who inspired -- or is it instigated? -- my initiation into the Pu-erh Tea Ceremony, hence the TOP BANNER AD, which another mGf maverick -- from wolfish koala lumpuh,that's why! -- discerningly asked: Is this Adverising or Desi's product? To both,my answer is "Nyet!". And trust me,this Blogsite remains non-profit making, unless you count sipping down hundred-ringit pue-rh a session as payment. For this I don't apologise for in 2008, as I wish of all myGOoDfriends like Mave (who flags off in Comment he's getting olde --he speaketh in tongue-in-cheek sometimes, meaning the contrary, Desi can read his mined, oh mine! -- Howsy (MIA Anak Merdeka) and Helen; Sabrina, TwistedHeels aka Cystal (the aforeeaaid duo I term as Da Twins from the Oriental Pearl), Kyels, Primsrose, Imran, Johnleemk, Nat Tan and Polytikus and Mob1900, olde hands et al -- newer hands like MosesFoo, ChrisNg, "V" et cetera, please feel free to add onto the list. (If I left out any nama, don't feel offended as inclusion would surely have its risks, like being trailed by a SpecialBrunch when you adjourn to mazey, hazey Furong for Hi-Tea with a funny-looking but lacking the IQ Einstein-double by Lingam's!
ByTheWay (BTW), which means in passing, the Design and Layout for bluechippuerhtea.com is by mGf Blogger hosting @mei0305.blogspot.com who is working hard on the Chinese version. Thanks, Mei, a million sips. Sdr Choo adds another million! The English contents were worked in by Desi-YLChong, in his capacity as f'eelanz writer.
Okay, rumination proper starts here, with a strange story-taeler's email received just only:
____________________ Act 1 ___________________
An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me...It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too.”
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied… “The one I feed.”
****************** Act 2 *********************
Recently the Catholic community, especially fellow Blogger Bernrad Khoo @zorro-zorro-unmasked.blogspot.com, were quite worked up when a certain nincompoop of a deputy minister, acting bee-sy like his sleepy-eyed CEO, sent a letter informing that the permit for their official newsletter "The Herald" might not be renewed for 2008 because it had a Bahasa Malaysia section, and that they had been using the word "ALLAH" for reference to "God". The rationale is that the term "Allah" is for exclusive use by the Muslims only.
Then confusing signals were reported -- some media reported the permit was happily renewed with nonew conditions in place. It was a sigh of relief for most people, UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER THE PRIME MINSTER DID STATE OFFICIALLY THE BAN ON THE USE OF THE TERM "ALLAH" WAS INDEED STILL IN FORCE, AS WAS AGREED TO BY HIS CABINET FOR SOME TIME NOW. Malaysians have gotten used to the habit of being confused. After the Dr Chua SL's incident/expose/exposure, I was inclined to sue the term "cuntfused", by mGf Mave says this term is for the exclsuive use of young adults like him, Dsi and Howsy when visiting Malacca and Furong where the residents are ore civilised and well behaved. We do not sned out Mad Skodeng squads or make China dolls squat for a living.
The MCAA has in fact taken over from te UMNO gons the task of moral policing and the first victim was from their own flock, former Hell Minister -- oops, Health Minister! -- Dr Chua SoiLek. But it's okay with UMNO strongmen gallivanting at Port DICKson with their own D*** inserted in a hole not in Joehole. NS is a forgifting state of affairs.If Desi's speaking-in-tongue does not get you, please reference the host of allofhelen.blogspot.com -- she's from Perak, who is another civilised state -- for adVICE!
Back from digression, here's stealing from the NST, two snippets for superimposing, the texts okay, not the writers!

Thankfully for the rest of us, we can
still start and end our years hoping to
inspire a reaction that won't be:
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
****************** Act 3 Last (if DDC, Lust) ******************
Dear EsteemedReaders, please come back after long lunch, okay, for now Desi adjourns to Lingam's for nice curries. Brothers Moses, Mave and "V", Art thou kambing4?'Man shalt not live on air, water and sunshine alone.' I heard that line before, so I follow as an obedient childe.
PS: I don't get paid for that BANNER AD (see TOP OF PAGE!), neither for promoting Lingam's, maybe the boss' wife puts larger portions of the goat and chick into my plate-lah!:)
RESUMED: 2.47pm:
Warning1: This last scene may be a Movie spoiler for those who have yet to see "ATONEMENT" -- my first film outing for 2008, and if you are into young love, frienship, betrayal and repentance and punishment, go spend RM10 at the cinetheque nearest thee -- at least it inspired desi to reflect on a serious subject which I seldom blog about, but today I make an exception.
Warning2: I am no expert on the subject of Religion, so if I make any mistake, it's due to my limited knowledge, not any intention to mislead anyone, or to hold a position of "Holier than thou", or even trying to poke my nose into my neighbour's salvation. This rumination is to put into writing my innermost thoughts invooked by watching a movie worth every sen(SE) of its investment at Mid-Valley GSC Yesterday, -- Yes, when all my troubles seemed so far away:) -- Taking care of my own salvation is more than a challenging task and ongoing life-endeavour, so I shan't take on any brother's/sister's added burden or quest for Truth or Salvation. If Salvation is among your Life's desiderata.truth, all Desi can say is "It's between only you and thy Maker." May GOD the Almighty or Allah The Benvolent guide us all in His wisdom. Amen/Amin.
ATONEMENT
Okay, the movie first:
Joe Wright, the BAFTA Award-winning director of Pride & Prejudice, has reunited with his filmmaking team and his Academy Award-nominated actress, Keira Knightley, for another classic British romance,
Based on a romance novel, “Atonement”, by Ian McEwans, with screenplay written by Christopher Hampton (Academy Award winner for Dangerous Liaisons) , and it was an idyllic setting at the posh residentce of the Tallis', and if humans behaved themselves, life would have been heavenly and serenely happy for every player. But humans do have failings -- like you and Desi.
It was a warm summer night where the housekeeper's son,Robbie Turner (actd superbly by James McAvoy)who was hitting it off with the rich Tallis' elder daughter Cecilia (acted by Kiera Knightly) had their world torn upside down because Cecilia's younger sister Briony (acted ***initially by Saoirse Ronan, precociously imaginative writer (a little like Des in his schooldays!:) was also head-over-heels-quietly-in-love with hgh IQ-ed aspiring doctor Robbie.
An yet-to-bloom Briony saw sister Cecilia fully-bloomed "making out" (hey, don't expect Desi to spell out the steamy action, go see the movie, okay!) with Robbie in the library, and she was more than heart-broken. Later that evening, while the many guests went to look for two restless young brothers who "went missing", Briony stumbled upon another "couple" making out in the dark bushes, and on her approach, the man ran off. The pretty young gal, another yet-to-bloom, confided to Briony that it was "Robbie" who had spoiled her forcefully. With her earlier sighting of Robbie "attacking" her sister, Briony-at-13 testified to her parents and police that she indeed saw "Robbie" doing it with the young gal (the sister to the "missing" boys.)
Thanks to Briony's testimony, Robbie was taken away by the police, despite his heroic return with the two "missing" boys. "stead of a wrm welcome back, the residents at Tallis' greeted him with cold, stabbling stares. Only Cecilia declared undying faith in her young lover, Robbie, that he was an innocent victim of lies told by young minds, and willing accomplices.
*** As the film's story spans several decades, starting in 1935, when Briony was just 13 years old, the part was variously acted by other actresses Desi could not identify. In gist, Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.
DESIDERATA: I now venture into territory I seldom step into, and it's just one man's (DesiderataYL Chong's) viewpoint, please you can beg to disagree along Voltaire's spirit, but remember at the end of the day, there's no absolute right or wrong in matters of the spirit. There's right or wrong -- hence guilt and innocence - in matters of the heart. Both the issues of two distinct Realms are at the heart of ATONEMENT.
******* Epilogue: My Personal Spiritual Journey *******
Writen with trepidation but inspired by my constant counsellor, Mr Coww, to whom I owe an immense debt, and I continue to regard as my Mentor.
As mentioned a few times in my almost three years old blog, I was brought up in a Christian environment and tradition from aged 10. My little understanding about being a follower of the Christian faith, t's Aceptance of Jesus Christ as my Savour based on the belief that all men/women are born Sinners. And that Christ died on the cross as the Ultimate Act of Atonement for Man's sins.
I have had struggles with the Two Wolves depicted in the olde Cherokee's story for his grandchildren. Do you?To this day, I still do.
And if my children or nieces or nephews ask me “Which wolf will win?”, I would borrow from the old Cherokee's simple and forward repl -- “The one I feed.”
Plunged into the real world of working as a journalist for some 25 years, I must admit I grew up a pretty "liberal" Christian (Definition of 'liberalism' is left to my Esteemed Readers' imagination, it's just that I'm not a flaming promoter of that credo: Believe in Christ as your Saviour, or you will burn in the lake of fire-and-brimstone-type Hell for non-believers! In fact, I am liberal to the extent that I would tell my ER: If thou avow tjou art a Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or Christian, just be a GOoD Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or Christian respectively.
And the Good Earth will remain a GOoD place for all Homo sapiens members,born with ineherent good and bad traits. I'd like to believe my bddies interacting with me are GOD-fearing humans with a touch of humanity towards his/her fellow kind. May God/Allah Bless All God-fearing Malaysians. Amen/Amin.

UPDATEd on Thursday, 10 Jan 2008 @5.49pm, for RUMINATION:
Today being Awal Muharram holiday marking the beginning of a new year 1429 in the Muslim calendar,
Desi wishes all my Muslim readers "Happy and Progressive New Year!"
I surfed to Raja Petra's blog and sighted an article which is suitable for reflection on this auspicious occasion.
The article is by his Guest columnist Farish Noor, and I suggest my ER visit malaysia-today.net for the full account. Here are the two closing paragraphs of:
The A, B and C of God
With such a rich and complex history that points to an obvious understanding that the word 'Allah' is merely a symbol or sign and not the thing itself, why is it that the Muslims of Malaysia still demonstrate an understanding of normative Islam that is not only shallow, but also parochial and exclusive? To suggest that the word 'Allah' can only be used by Muslims as some of Malaysia's leaders have done would suggest that God requires a copyright, and that God would not be understood if you cannot get its name right.
Yet Islam, if it is to be the universal religion that it is, does not need an official language or uniform. Nor does it need to claim copyright to universal signifiers that are, after all, part of the common currency of public language. Once again, despite claims to being a 'moderate' Islamic state, the Malaysian government (or rather some of its leaders) have demonstrated a third-rate understanding of the subjects they are wont to prattle about. That this doesn’t say much about their understanding of Islam, linguistics and philosophy is bad enough; but worse still is how this reflects on Malaysia's vainglorious ambition to present itself as a model Muslim state for others to follow. Perhaps the leaders of the country should get back to the basics, and focus more on the A, B, Cs of Islam once again…

As starters, mGf Sdr capitalist ChooNC who inspired -- or is it instigated? -- my initiation into the Pu-erh Tea Ceremony, hence the TOP BANNER AD, which another mGf maverick -- from wolfish koala lumpuh,that's why! -- discerningly asked: Is this Adverising or Desi's product? To both,my answer is "Nyet!". And trust me,this Blogsite remains non-profit making, unless you count sipping down hundred-ringit pue-rh a session as payment. For this I don't apologise for in 2008, as I wish of all myGOoDfriends like Mave (who flags off in Comment he's getting olde --he speaketh in tongue-in-cheek sometimes, meaning the contrary, Desi can read his mined, oh mine! -- Howsy (MIA Anak Merdeka) and Helen; Sabrina, TwistedHeels aka Cystal (the aforeeaaid duo I term as Da Twins from the Oriental Pearl), Kyels, Primsrose, Imran, Johnleemk, Nat Tan and Polytikus and Mob1900, olde hands et al -- newer hands like MosesFoo, ChrisNg, "V" et cetera, please feel free to add onto the list. (If I left out any nama, don't feel offended as inclusion would surely have its risks, like being trailed by a SpecialBrunch when you adjourn to mazey, hazey Furong for Hi-Tea with a funny-looking but lacking the IQ Einstein-double by Lingam's!
ByTheWay (BTW), which means in passing, the Design and Layout for bluechippuerhtea.com is by mGf Blogger hosting @mei0305.blogspot.com who is working hard on the Chinese version. Thanks, Mei, a million sips. Sdr Choo adds another million! The English contents were worked in by Desi-YLChong, in his capacity as f'eelanz writer.
Okay, rumination proper starts here, with a strange story-taeler's email received just only:
____________________ Act 1 ___________________
An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me...It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too.”
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied… “The one I feed.”
****************** Act 2 *********************
Recently the Catholic community, especially fellow Blogger Bernrad Khoo @zorro-zorro-unmasked.blogspot.com, were quite worked up when a certain nincompoop of a deputy minister, acting bee-sy like his sleepy-eyed CEO, sent a letter informing that the permit for their official newsletter "The Herald" might not be renewed for 2008 because it had a Bahasa Malaysia section, and that they had been using the word "ALLAH" for reference to "God". The rationale is that the term "Allah" is for exclusive use by the Muslims only.
Then confusing signals were reported -- some media reported the permit was happily renewed with nonew conditions in place. It was a sigh of relief for most people, UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER THE PRIME MINSTER DID STATE OFFICIALLY THE BAN ON THE USE OF THE TERM "ALLAH" WAS INDEED STILL IN FORCE, AS WAS AGREED TO BY HIS CABINET FOR SOME TIME NOW. Malaysians have gotten used to the habit of being confused. After the Dr Chua SL's incident/expose/exposure, I was inclined to sue the term "cuntfused", by mGf Mave says this term is for the exclsuive use of young adults like him, Dsi and Howsy when visiting Malacca and Furong where the residents are ore civilised and well behaved. We do not sned out Mad Skodeng squads or make China dolls squat for a living.
The MCAA has in fact taken over from te UMNO gons the task of moral policing and the first victim was from their own flock, former Hell Minister -- oops, Health Minister! -- Dr Chua SoiLek. But it's okay with UMNO strongmen gallivanting at Port DICKson with their own D*** inserted in a hole not in Joehole. NS is a forgifting state of affairs.If Desi's speaking-in-tongue does not get you, please reference the host of allofhelen.blogspot.com -- she's from Perak, who is another civilised state -- for adVICE!
Back from digression, here's stealing from the NST, two snippets for superimposing, the texts okay, not the writers!

Thankfully for the rest of us, we can
still start and end our years hoping to
inspire a reaction that won't be:
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
****************** Act 3 Last (if DDC, Lust) ******************
Dear EsteemedReaders, please come back after long lunch, okay, for now Desi adjourns to Lingam's for nice curries. Brothers Moses, Mave and "V", Art thou kambing4?'Man shalt not live on air, water and sunshine alone.' I heard that line before, so I follow as an obedient childe.
PS: I don't get paid for that BANNER AD (see TOP OF PAGE!), neither for promoting Lingam's, maybe the boss' wife puts larger portions of the goat and chick into my plate-lah!:)
RESUMED: 2.47pm:
Warning1: This last scene may be a Movie spoiler for those who have yet to see "ATONEMENT" -- my first film outing for 2008, and if you are into young love, frienship, betrayal and repentance and punishment, go spend RM10 at the cinetheque nearest thee -- at least it inspired desi to reflect on a serious subject which I seldom blog about, but today I make an exception.
Warning2: I am no expert on the subject of Religion, so if I make any mistake, it's due to my limited knowledge, not any intention to mislead anyone, or to hold a position of "Holier than thou", or even trying to poke my nose into my neighbour's salvation. This rumination is to put into writing my innermost thoughts invooked by watching a movie worth every sen(SE) of its investment at Mid-Valley GSC Yesterday, -- Yes, when all my troubles seemed so far away:) -- Taking care of my own salvation is more than a challenging task and ongoing life-endeavour, so I shan't take on any brother's/sister's added burden or quest for Truth or Salvation. If Salvation is among your Life's desiderata.truth, all Desi can say is "It's between only you and thy Maker." May GOD the Almighty or Allah The Benvolent guide us all in His wisdom. Amen/Amin.
ATONEMENT
Okay, the movie first:
Joe Wright, the BAFTA Award-winning director of Pride & Prejudice, has reunited with his filmmaking team and his Academy Award-nominated actress, Keira Knightley, for another classic British romance,
Based on a romance novel, “Atonement”, by Ian McEwans, with screenplay written by Christopher Hampton (Academy Award winner for Dangerous Liaisons) , and it was an idyllic setting at the posh residentce of the Tallis', and if humans behaved themselves, life would have been heavenly and serenely happy for every player. But humans do have failings -- like you and Desi.
It was a warm summer night where the housekeeper's son,Robbie Turner (actd superbly by James McAvoy)who was hitting it off with the rich Tallis' elder daughter Cecilia (acted by Kiera Knightly) had their world torn upside down because Cecilia's younger sister Briony (acted ***initially by Saoirse Ronan, precociously imaginative writer (a little like Des in his schooldays!:) was also head-over-heels-quietly-in-love with hgh IQ-ed aspiring doctor Robbie.
An yet-to-bloom Briony saw sister Cecilia fully-bloomed "making out" (hey, don't expect Desi to spell out the steamy action, go see the movie, okay!) with Robbie in the library, and she was more than heart-broken. Later that evening, while the many guests went to look for two restless young brothers who "went missing", Briony stumbled upon another "couple" making out in the dark bushes, and on her approach, the man ran off. The pretty young gal, another yet-to-bloom, confided to Briony that it was "Robbie" who had spoiled her forcefully. With her earlier sighting of Robbie "attacking" her sister, Briony-at-13 testified to her parents and police that she indeed saw "Robbie" doing it with the young gal (the sister to the "missing" boys.)
Thanks to Briony's testimony, Robbie was taken away by the police, despite his heroic return with the two "missing" boys. "stead of a wrm welcome back, the residents at Tallis' greeted him with cold, stabbling stares. Only Cecilia declared undying faith in her young lover, Robbie, that he was an innocent victim of lies told by young minds, and willing accomplices.
*** As the film's story spans several decades, starting in 1935, when Briony was just 13 years old, the part was variously acted by other actresses Desi could not identify. In gist, Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.
DESIDERATA: I now venture into territory I seldom step into, and it's just one man's (DesiderataYL Chong's) viewpoint, please you can beg to disagree along Voltaire's spirit, but remember at the end of the day, there's no absolute right or wrong in matters of the spirit. There's right or wrong -- hence guilt and innocence - in matters of the heart. Both the issues of two distinct Realms are at the heart of ATONEMENT.
******* Epilogue: My Personal Spiritual Journey *******
Writen with trepidation but inspired by my constant counsellor, Mr Coww, to whom I owe an immense debt, and I continue to regard as my Mentor.
As mentioned a few times in my almost three years old blog, I was brought up in a Christian environment and tradition from aged 10. My little understanding about being a follower of the Christian faith, t's Aceptance of Jesus Christ as my Savour based on the belief that all men/women are born Sinners. And that Christ died on the cross as the Ultimate Act of Atonement for Man's sins.
I have had struggles with the Two Wolves depicted in the olde Cherokee's story for his grandchildren. Do you?To this day, I still do.
And if my children or nieces or nephews ask me “Which wolf will win?”, I would borrow from the old Cherokee's simple and forward repl -- “The one I feed.”
Plunged into the real world of working as a journalist for some 25 years, I must admit I grew up a pretty "liberal" Christian (Definition of 'liberalism' is left to my Esteemed Readers' imagination, it's just that I'm not a flaming promoter of that credo: Believe in Christ as your Saviour, or you will burn in the lake of fire-and-brimstone-type Hell for non-believers! In fact, I am liberal to the extent that I would tell my ER: If thou avow tjou art a Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or Christian, just be a GOoD Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or Christian respectively.
And the Good Earth will remain a GOoD place for all Homo sapiens members,born with ineherent good and bad traits. I'd like to believe my bddies interacting with me are GOD-fearing humans with a touch of humanity towards his/her fellow kind. May God/Allah Bless All God-fearing Malaysians. Amen/Amin.

UPDATEd on Thursday, 10 Jan 2008 @5.49pm, for RUMINATION:
Today being Awal Muharram holiday marking the beginning of a new year 1429 in the Muslim calendar,
Desi wishes all my Muslim readers "Happy and Progressive New Year!"
I surfed to Raja Petra's blog and sighted an article which is suitable for reflection on this auspicious occasion.
The article is by his Guest columnist Farish Noor, and I suggest my ER visit malaysia-today.net for the full account. Here are the two closing paragraphs of:
The A, B and C of God
With such a rich and complex history that points to an obvious understanding that the word 'Allah' is merely a symbol or sign and not the thing itself, why is it that the Muslims of Malaysia still demonstrate an understanding of normative Islam that is not only shallow, but also parochial and exclusive? To suggest that the word 'Allah' can only be used by Muslims as some of Malaysia's leaders have done would suggest that God requires a copyright, and that God would not be understood if you cannot get its name right.
Yet Islam, if it is to be the universal religion that it is, does not need an official language or uniform. Nor does it need to claim copyright to universal signifiers that are, after all, part of the common currency of public language. Once again, despite claims to being a 'moderate' Islamic state, the Malaysian government (or rather some of its leaders) have demonstrated a third-rate understanding of the subjects they are wont to prattle about. That this doesn’t say much about their understanding of Islam, linguistics and philosophy is bad enough; but worse still is how this reflects on Malaysia's vainglorious ambition to present itself as a model Muslim state for others to follow. Perhaps the leaders of the country should get back to the basics, and focus more on the A, B, Cs of Islam once again…

ACTING BEE-sy
Mother Nature blooms and flowers, an it's a real joy if you can dance among the daffodils like mGf-cum-constantgardner Frances:):):):):):):) at her Taman Supreme @primrose.blogspot.com where she beguiles wit' a killer of a s-MILE that is seen even in Furong 40 MILE-s away.
Hovering above the "bloom, flowers, bloom" are many worker-bees who carry the pollens faithfully from one flower to another -- a process called POLLINaTION in case you've forgotten your secondary science basics! -- and you can tell from all the lilies in the field, indeed the bees are hardworking.
Then there's another unwinged species walking tall most times on two legs, but often in the still (it would have read "steal" if DDC was in play!:( of the day, and night, and nightie too, Homo sapiens members are/were/have been/had been lying down most times, since time immemorial. Okay, correction: since Adam and Eve discovered the lusty sweet apple and the heavenly glory of Ecstasy in the Garden of Eden. I had once tasted such in the Seremban Lake Gardens, then Da Snake tooketh the Flow'r or Apple away. Now I enjoy "miracle fruit" but that's another SECRET I share with myGOoDfriend at SL. Chua SL is welcomed if he track Desi down Furong's maze.
Man always spoils it for the bees.
The winged creatures truly work the flowers to give the humans honey.
Blardy man savours the honey and leaves behind some tarts.
Shallow man gives the impression he works hard like the Bees. Or beetles. Or the Beatles. It's been a hard day's night. Even in Strawberry Fields Forever. Or in the Yellow Submarine.
So Malaysian Man appears to be bee-sy as the Bee.
At the height of the Johore floods, national uno numero -- or is it numero uno, why you ER don't answer Desi which is correct, correct, correct!? -- as reportedly building Noak's Ark2 by the Swanie Ribber down under just in case the flood waters deepened from two meters to s'x meters in Joehole. Bee-sy as a Bee.
The southern state was recently re-named Joehole by Desi in recognition of the contribution of the average Joe (and Jane) diging the various kinds of holes to let the flood waters out. If you beg to disagree, who am I to worry? I am not te Queen Bee -- I am plain blardy writHer Desi. Fool of errata or erotika.
Joehile, as I said in the lust few days' postings, now made famous by recently-resigned Hell Minister. Oops Health Minister Dr Chua SL whom I accord the greatest esteem for at least being a "decent" politician. He was told by a former MCA leader Ting Chew Pey he shouldn't have resigned. He should have stopped at the famous international line:
I SERVE AT THE PLEAUSRE OF THE PRIME MINSTER.
And the prime minister is always in heightened ecstasy Down Under lying down making Noah's Ark3. Bees-sy as a Bee. So Chua could have stayed as Minister for Eternity 'cos uno numero would stay in Ignorance Is Bliss territory forver as long as he has his Ecstasy. And who are VVe -- Raja Petra K or Y Long C -- to disagree?
We are as walways BEE-sy as a Bee where Poking Our Noses Into Other People's Pedigree,
and there's nobody to steer the Nation's Ship or the Hotline.
You disagree? It's OK, SEMUANYA OK, it's a free worlde, Malaysia is indeed a democracy.
You try the following experiment:
Just ring any hotline. Civil service. Or private sector. Especially Telcos.
Here's the normal routne.
The other end rings, then a recoded message starts.
Thnak you for contacting ABC or XYZ Berhad,our staff are bee-sy at the moment.
Press 1 if you wish to speak to Operator.
Press 2 if Adminstration.
Press 3 if Finance.
Press 4 for Sei-lo!(Using Kantonis, that's what Furongknights do when they swear!)
Or It's Si-liau-liau for the Cycle then Repeats itself.
Blardy heellla! --it's not Desi swearing, I swear, it's the "angrified" caller after the nth time trying -- he would have now wasted 60 X SE7EN precious seconds, it seems like 60XSE7EN minutes.
But Malaysians are a PAtiint lot, hence the privae hospitals are laughing all the way to the bank. If my dear Esteemed Readers don't follow the logical sequence of these statements, never mind, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
The politicians are with you. They are also a PAtient lot, like Daddy which is sometimes called PA. Now you see? Othervice (first DDC on blues Monay!), go si-liau-liau2.
So today Desi also is ACTING BEE-sy1.
I had non-CON BF on the run, first wit' Mr Coww, then wit' Mr Lee MK and Mr Gan AF, thirdly wit' Sdr LooH and Kepten Hon ML (not, not another SL!) -- but I had a field day, my buddies all paid for my three breakfasts. Malaysia is a damned blardy Lucky Country, badder than the Ozzies'!
NowI am about to ACTING BEE-sy2 for fleerunch. This has been defined for you, go search my Archives.
Tonight I look forward to ACTING BEE-sy3.
So who says Desi doesn't work for a l'ving?
I am like a CowBoi, whose
WORK IS NEVER DONE.
I am quite a Queen Bee! Have the luxury of always lying down.
Like the Significant Other of uno numero, or IS IT THE OTHER WAY ROUND?
The King Bee has the luxury of always lying down?

A Doggone Tail (end) for Dr Chua -- 2
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A SERIES OF A COMMUNITY SERVICE MESSAGES FOR A VERY GOODER MATE than myGOoDfriend. Don't be jealous, jest a reminder in this unjust worlde -- THERE"S NO SUCH THING AS A FREELUNCH!
SpecialBrunch maybe.(See that I eye-ing you from a distance with a CCTV cam?)
FleeRunch certainly. (Desi's definition: a quikkie lunch made on the run, you don't pay and then you flee wit' your pocket on empty:(
NOW please be an obedient besides being an EssteamedReader today, read first that part 1 Post hear Yesterday, "when all the goode doctor minus the undoctor'd tape's troubles seemed all here to stay". Praygiarhythming the Beetles ~~ so shoo me! --
All my troubles and NSTman's, and Howsy's, and Maverick's, and xpyred's, were all so far away. I wanted to include mentioning FurongknightAnakMerdeka, but she is too shy to come out to play/pray.
The Doggone Tail, after a long and winding digression -- a privilege for awe Bloggers to abuse! so this is a goode rason why you should join the banwagon!:) -- finally starts, and ends hear:
******************************************************
"I have a hobby rearing dogs, as it has the added advantage of being in tandem wit' my line of work. I once had a PITBULL, but unfortunately he had joined the status of the late SA of IJOK. Bless his soul! (Desi raeds his mind -- it's the dog's the taeler was meaning, not the State Assemblyman's.)
One evening I took the bugger on four legs for an evening walk around the neighbourhood, and besides those residents on two legs who'd greet me wit' "Hi, Tuan!" (Desi sometimes heard it as 'hai, John!' but I digress...), my Blackie would be gritted by other counterparts wit' growls and scowls. I felt absolutely safe as I passed several groups of them.
As we chanced upon another motley group at an open space between some bushes, some of these "pariahs" did not like our intrusion; I guess some of them were distracted from doing it among the bushes. You see? If you don't, never mind, also I did it have it on DVD.
Long story short (Desi thinks he's taking a Dick at my height, blardy health, the things you have to put up for a SpecialBrunch!), Blackie suddenly broke loose from the leash I was holding, and he dashed at one of the strays who was barking louder than the rest in OUR direction.
The PITBULL went straight for the other bugger's neck, and the rest of the pack dispersed like rats in various directions. Then they stopped as they watched their colleague die a slow death at the hands of Blackie.(Yes, the dog which sometimes Desi says it's GOD in gostan mood, in deed has four hands, and Man has two, that's why when Maradonna scored that goal, he said it's the hand of a dog in Gostan motion, but I digress again...Maaf ia! That's not from Desi, it's from Blackie as he sank his teeth deeper.)
"Then a strange thing happened. My heart almost came to a stop. I may lose my beloved Blackie! My heart now beats faster.
The by-standing pariah dogs now moved towards Blackie making minch meat of their colleague -- now it's V:for Vendetta as they moved towards conquerer and conquered. These pariahs are going to make minch-meat (Yeah, minch sounds badder than minced, and today it's knot desiderata.english okay!) of my poor Blackie!
But they took a load off my beating heart as they went for the poor defeated and conquered bugger. They felt they were ONE wit' Blackie. "V"eni, "V"idi, "V"ici! -- They showed their loyalty to their NEW-FOUND LEADER, my Pitbull Blackie!:)"

A TEA TEAser
Dear ER, tell Desi Whatthe hell is the MORAL OF THE STORY...
Best answerer gets special invite to savour Pu-erh tea wit' that generous hoRst at SL, and Desi! Now that's another privilege to abuse as a blogger, especially wan fool of errata/erotika...
The above story has a moral for Dr CHUA SL. SL stands also for the story-teller'sabode at Sungei Long, the gardern inspired by Desiderata-Y Long C. Long story short, the latter befitting my person as those who have met Desi, especially when standing on Hi-one of the two Goliaths. But the NastyPaper did not pay the 20million I a(R)s(E)ked for. Wonder if anyone did initialy ask the just retired Minister any money for the secrets between da VIP and le miss honey-penny?
If you had picked room 007, 'stead 1301, the story would have ended up wit' aMore than a video tape -- how about a few gory deaths? I am prepared to be that sexy script-writHer. Only 20mil for my I-LAND named:

LET IT BE!
MANY OF MY RECENT POSTS were inspired after consuming -- sip by go-n-come-sip in small daity cuplets (defined: china in a size smaller than conventional tea-cups) -- after a hearty meal hosted by the gentleman now duly and gently INTRODUCED.
TEA COLLECTOR for two years, a senior Malaysian ex-police officer Choo Nyet Ching周日青, would like to share his experiences in this new passion -- tasting new Pu-erh teas available in the market, and learning from the tea connoisseurs who preceded him in this healthy hobby and lifestyle. Of course, it is only logical extension that such a passionate pastime propelled Choo to start buying stocks of those teas he believes are of premium or blue chip grades. To date, Choo has a large collection of 2005 Xianguan Nan Zhao, primarily as a form of investment and several award-winning brands from the leading tea factories of Menghai and Xiaguan.
“There are many factories making a wide range of Pu-erhs in Yunnan but the Menghai and Xiaguan are what one would term the Mercedes and BMW as in automobiles as comparison,” he said with a smile as we sipped Pu-erh 7532 one fine afternoon after a lunch at his country home in Kuala Lumpur.
Though a late bloomer in appreciating Chinese teas, especially of the renowned kind, Choo, now a freelance security consultant, assured his guests that for those with some savings, Pu-erh is an investment that yields many times in return in just 2 or 3 years compared with returns on fixed deposits in the financial institutions which average 3.5 to 4.0 percent per annum.
Consuming tea in association with a healthy food diet ensures his whole family to maximum enjoyment of a soothing environment and for him and his wife, a semi-retired lifestyle that gives him time to research and build on his treasury of tea collections. He said an immediate benefit he could testify was that he and his wife, who suffered different body aches, especially in the back, now could state for the record they don’t get such aches anymore, after drinking vintage Pu-erh tea regularly, but never at night.
DESIDERATA: for aMore about where to steal this Pu-erh, bribe Desi-lah wit 1million, and wit' just 20 suckers responding wit' a dancing check, Voila, I'd be reaching that spiriteDEStination!Okay, come back tomorrow, for Dsi's lazey, hazey, mazey Sundayes in Furong is set aside for Reflection and Easy L'ving.CON BF and Blue Chip Pu-erh by thy side.
CHOW!
I depart wit' a poem as a ENCORE2 for Dr Chua SL -- and awe the lucky blokes who have had a chance to be EsteemedGuestDrinkersOfPuerh at SL's specialhoRst, and a warning to dr Chua's succesor -- just make sure it's spelt da ministry of Health, not hell!
ADIEU for now:
Could KNOT find my pome on ISA (aka I Say Amen) on Archives, so I guess my curio catty Readers -- including Dr Chua SL, now that he has lots of time/dime to spare! -- have to pay RM15 for a peep into some 65,000 kopis fring around the Malaysian space today. IF YOU TAKE THE TROUBLE TO RANDYWOO wit' Desi at Lingam's Curry House along Paul Street, and pay for tehtarik, you may be lucky to get an autographed kopi worth RM15,000 a kopi when I join the late SA of IJOK wan goode die, no joke! Just call me first, Okay! You wanna ask what'sthe number, get IT from MosesFoo!:)
SpecialBrunch maybe.(See that I eye-ing you from a distance with a CCTV cam?)
FleeRunch certainly. (Desi's definition: a quikkie lunch made on the run, you don't pay and then you flee wit' your pocket on empty:(
NOW please be an obedient besides being an EssteamedReader today, read first that part 1 Post hear Yesterday, "when all the goode doctor minus the undoctor'd tape's troubles seemed all here to stay". Praygiarhythming the Beetles ~~ so shoo me! --
All my troubles and NSTman's, and Howsy's, and Maverick's, and xpyred's, were all so far away. I wanted to include mentioning FurongknightAnakMerdeka, but she is too shy to come out to play/pray.
The Doggone Tail, after a long and winding digression -- a privilege for awe Bloggers to abuse! so this is a goode rason why you should join the banwagon!:) -- finally starts, and ends hear:
******************************************************
"I have a hobby rearing dogs, as it has the added advantage of being in tandem wit' my line of work. I once had a PITBULL, but unfortunately he had joined the status of the late SA of IJOK. Bless his soul! (Desi raeds his mind -- it's the dog's the taeler was meaning, not the State Assemblyman's.)
One evening I took the bugger on four legs for an evening walk around the neighbourhood, and besides those residents on two legs who'd greet me wit' "Hi, Tuan!" (Desi sometimes heard it as 'hai, John!' but I digress...), my Blackie would be gritted by other counterparts wit' growls and scowls. I felt absolutely safe as I passed several groups of them.
As we chanced upon another motley group at an open space between some bushes, some of these "pariahs" did not like our intrusion; I guess some of them were distracted from doing it among the bushes. You see? If you don't, never mind, also I did it have it on DVD.
Long story short (Desi thinks he's taking a Dick at my height, blardy health, the things you have to put up for a SpecialBrunch!), Blackie suddenly broke loose from the leash I was holding, and he dashed at one of the strays who was barking louder than the rest in OUR direction.
The PITBULL went straight for the other bugger's neck, and the rest of the pack dispersed like rats in various directions. Then they stopped as they watched their colleague die a slow death at the hands of Blackie.(Yes, the dog which sometimes Desi says it's GOD in gostan mood, in deed has four hands, and Man has two, that's why when Maradonna scored that goal, he said it's the hand of a dog in Gostan motion, but I digress again...Maaf ia! That's not from Desi, it's from Blackie as he sank his teeth deeper.)
"Then a strange thing happened. My heart almost came to a stop. I may lose my beloved Blackie! My heart now beats faster.
The by-standing pariah dogs now moved towards Blackie making minch meat of their colleague -- now it's V:for Vendetta as they moved towards conquerer and conquered. These pariahs are going to make minch-meat (Yeah, minch sounds badder than minced, and today it's knot desiderata.english okay!) of my poor Blackie!
But they took a load off my beating heart as they went for the poor defeated and conquered bugger. They felt they were ONE wit' Blackie. "V"eni, "V"idi, "V"ici! -- They showed their loyalty to their NEW-FOUND LEADER, my Pitbull Blackie!:)"

A TEA TEAser
Dear ER, tell Desi Whatthe hell is the MORAL OF THE STORY...
Best answerer gets special invite to savour Pu-erh tea wit' that generous hoRst at SL, and Desi! Now that's another privilege to abuse as a blogger, especially wan fool of errata/erotika...
The above story has a moral for Dr CHUA SL. SL stands also for the story-teller'sabode at Sungei Long, the gardern inspired by Desiderata-Y Long C. Long story short, the latter befitting my person as those who have met Desi, especially when standing on Hi-one of the two Goliaths. But the NastyPaper did not pay the 20million I a(R)s(E)ked for. Wonder if anyone did initialy ask the just retired Minister any money for the secrets between da VIP and le miss honey-penny?
If you had picked room 007, 'stead 1301, the story would have ended up wit' aMore than a video tape -- how about a few gory deaths? I am prepared to be that sexy script-writHer. Only 20mil for my I-LAND named:

LET IT BE!
MANY OF MY RECENT POSTS were inspired after consuming -- sip by go-n-come-sip in small daity cuplets (defined: china in a size smaller than conventional tea-cups) -- after a hearty meal hosted by the gentleman now duly and gently INTRODUCED.
TEA COLLECTOR for two years, a senior Malaysian ex-police officer Choo Nyet Ching周日青, would like to share his experiences in this new passion -- tasting new Pu-erh teas available in the market, and learning from the tea connoisseurs who preceded him in this healthy hobby and lifestyle. Of course, it is only logical extension that such a passionate pastime propelled Choo to start buying stocks of those teas he believes are of premium or blue chip grades. To date, Choo has a large collection of 2005 Xianguan Nan Zhao, primarily as a form of investment and several award-winning brands from the leading tea factories of Menghai and Xiaguan.
“There are many factories making a wide range of Pu-erhs in Yunnan but the Menghai and Xiaguan are what one would term the Mercedes and BMW as in automobiles as comparison,” he said with a smile as we sipped Pu-erh 7532 one fine afternoon after a lunch at his country home in Kuala Lumpur.
Though a late bloomer in appreciating Chinese teas, especially of the renowned kind, Choo, now a freelance security consultant, assured his guests that for those with some savings, Pu-erh is an investment that yields many times in return in just 2 or 3 years compared with returns on fixed deposits in the financial institutions which average 3.5 to 4.0 percent per annum.
Consuming tea in association with a healthy food diet ensures his whole family to maximum enjoyment of a soothing environment and for him and his wife, a semi-retired lifestyle that gives him time to research and build on his treasury of tea collections. He said an immediate benefit he could testify was that he and his wife, who suffered different body aches, especially in the back, now could state for the record they don’t get such aches anymore, after drinking vintage Pu-erh tea regularly, but never at night.
DESIDERATA: for aMore about where to steal this Pu-erh, bribe Desi-lah wit 1million, and wit' just 20 suckers responding wit' a dancing check, Voila, I'd be reaching that spiriteDEStination!Okay, come back tomorrow, for Dsi's lazey, hazey, mazey Sundayes in Furong is set aside for Reflection and Easy L'ving.CON BF and Blue Chip Pu-erh by thy side.

JokeR of the New Year
Less than 2 days into the new year 2008, Malaysians heard a loud "Bang" of a minister's world of health crashing into Hell.
Less than another two days after the opening episode comes this JokeR of an arresting (knot yet arrested! No,nyet!:(
nude/nu'e/news headline:
Najib: Let scandal be a warning
DESIDERATA: was having dinner with mGf H.Loo when he recalled reading the headline.I too had read IT at lunchtime with a mutual friend of ours, and of course, the "demise" of a performing MCAA minister hogged the conversations in most coffee shops in Chinoserie streets in gosspiy-cum-Peyton Placesque Furong.
H.Loo remarked that must make it THE STATEMENT OF THE NU'E YEAR,
Desi added: IT maketh the speaker "JokeR of the New Year", and it just started,today being the dying minutes of the 4th day. 4 in Chinoserie is SEI. +Siliau-liau!
+is name of a small town about 20km from Seremban/Furong, I think.
Later I picked up from te NST online for the "beef" for you lazy-bummershave aMore things to do having s'x romps in Port DICKson with a gal knot thy wife then caught by friendly mad skodeng.Wre they given some ang-pow or ang-kong-zee? Don't ask Desi, he's no gambler, jest a cowboi sometimes, a socilaist most times, and a wickedend KAPITALIST!:)
KOTA BARU: Barisan Nasional leaders and members have been told to learn a lesson from the resignation of health minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
They have also been told to behave themselves so as not to embarrass the party.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said party members must exercise discipline and abide by the code of conduct of the party.

A Doggone Tail for Dr Chua
Desi seldoms watches the TV news, but the past few days since the rumour grapewine broke that a certain senior politician from JOEhole was involved in a video sex-scandal, I became a RTM or TV3 voyeur. Lie many of you-lah, who claimed to have started a boycott against MSM, and RTM and TV3 also come under that,Yes? Yeah, in life, VVe-- okay, I represent Desi! -- do make exceptions-lah!It's okay, there's nothing cast in stone on human decisions except don't get caught by modern IT (information technology) when you're doing *IT.
You blardy lazy,hazeyand mazey, like Furongknights most times-lah, smartaleck ER define the second *IT!
So since Monday, I took special trouble to either watch 8.00pm TV3 news or its midnight sojourn. Mainly to wattch Dr Chua Soi Lek's body language and what he had to say. I took sepcial effort to peep at the print media at +Saudara's while eating NON-con bf (hey, I am socialist most weak dies, OK!); but I sometimes ask for double layer of kaya, when I truly feel "rich". I weep because they don't take the trouble to serve me THREE layers of peanut butter -- that would have lifted up Dr Chua's spirits, I recommend the goode doctor.
Foronce, the Star DID NOT docyor its news covergae as far as covering (no 'up') its ex-Minister of Hell and Vice- President. How coincident Health is easily mispelt as Hell by Desi, and also note the strange alternative (de)meaning of "Vice". LOL! And blardy hell, "LOL!" does not mean you "laugh out loud" at Chua's expense!It's Lucky Olde Lad -- he can join VVe comoners to rendezwoo at wan star hotel instead of being surveillanced (hey, this is Americanisation of Queen's English, don'tcopy Desi's stylo when writing your semester Essay at 11-1/2th hour at MidNight - your neighbours wit' X-ray eyes that see through the dark, you no!
(Pre-Script: Dear ER, I take Interlude for a sojourn at a Motel, can ah? What's that name where Alfred HitchCOCK flightened the sheets out of our bodies when A'lah Bates bytes into the pretty gal in the shower when she was not looking...? Solly, I digress.I do that sometimes when my tehtarik is slow in coming. I can't take Pu-erh tea on an empty stomac. But I can see re-run of blue tapes wit' Dr Maverick -- I hear he uses them for his Management tutorials! Go register for his Clas, clasic/classy. Live demo to. One sem-valued student even tried to show off his 'Kemaluan'.)
EXTRA-POST-ORAL AFFAIR

"Desi, you should check out the Anil Netton the grave sin of CSL
For the apology part, at first, I say, bravo. But think about it, I say WTF, he should have apology to his family only, wtf it is to do with us? So I take back the praise. Because his sin to rakyat are something more serious. He "rob" the job of his lower rank and take it as his credit.
Looking at thestar paper, I keep shaking my head on his "performance", is this the best he can do? Isn't all those can be done by his lower rank executive? Where is the big picture. I write this in my blog : If Citibank CEO take the credit of "reduce teller counter queue time", the shareholder will kick his ass and fire him. Because with correct method, even a citibank branch manager in Timbuktu can do it."

For a Few Goode Men
like Dr Chua Soi Lek, your failing is that you got caught up in ecstasy, like almost all human beings (including Desi-lah!), but forgot sometimes Technology has caught up wit' thee:( Your pants were not up,unfortunately.
I stole a cettain poem from pages 106 and 107 of one stupid buku which spoke of similar circumstances, but the difference is that Dr Chua, you were not of the "protected species". The average Joe, or Tom, Dick and Harry, would be hauled to Syariah caught for just mooching in the park at night because self-righteous Mat Skodeng -- well supported by a certain Malacca CM (how come Melaka always features in such epicsode/escapades?) -- believe they scored points for every couple caught for public misbehaviourif one was a Muslim...
I was informed the poem was written in 2003, but it is still relevant, so for Chua's consolation, hear's anENCORE!
If Truth Be Told
In a land not far, far away
So near you hear its heartbeat every day
Once the minister of television declared
“We’ll manufacture a local series to outclass Dallas!”
After decades and much murky water
Had flowed under the Bridge of Scandals
Leaders continue to exhort of the populace:
Don’t watch blue movies or VCDs, it’s a social evil.
Meanwhile, they yumseng till the break of dawn
And under the cover of darkness chieftains plundered
Yet others plucked the flowers
Off under-aged virgin girls.
Politicians and court jesters are so creative
This land needs no fiction writers
‘Stead of soap operas, TV offers wayang and sandiwara
Their juiciness surpassing the Collins’ wildest imagination.
There’s the saga of one with millions headed Down Under
Apparently he’d not heard of cheques or Amex
Poor chap – onetime a graduate teacher - he landed up in court
He hardly understood “that darn’d bastard immigration form” in Inggeris.
Then another made a girl full of body
Claimed the fruit was donated by a best friend
Well, in typical Asian cheer, the reluctant host must not decline
The guest’s bosomy generosity in any kind.
Live episodes entertain the people more than Hollywood’s Dynasty
Proving true blue that “Fact is stranger than fiction”
When naked Truth is revealed, sometimes ingenuously concealed,
Of under-cover trails and trysts in KL’s penthouses.
When lesser souls are caught in similar bind with their pants down
In cheap lodging houses, or even just holding hands in public parks
They charge the poor blighters with khalwat (close proximity)
While upper classes continue to frolic with impunity cum immunity.
The above was prompted by the many instances of “public scandals” involving leading Malaysians which hogged both local and international media headlines at the time of occurrence; any decent Malaysian must at one time or another have bowed his/her head in “shame” for the graphic details of the “homosexual or sodomy” acts being described in public. And a semen-stained mattress being hauled to court as an “exhibit” – what a way to progress sex education! If I were to write in prose about the politics of my home country, and the shenanigans of the players of those “interesting” times, it will be certainly going into territory “where angels fear to tread”. I’d rather be with angelic company than risk spending solitary confinement in a cold, dank cell (with most likely other political animals for cell-mates to boot!). Putting down in verse some of these episodes allows for some freedom of speech, and the release of pent-up outrage and indignation at the goings-on. Poetry provides writers with a medium to test greater “intellectual” latitude. May we be blessed with leaders who can appreciate poetic communication, especially of the satirical kind.

UPDATEd from 2003 to 2008:
Dr Chua, weep not for thy fellow comrades in MC*AA
Weep for the common fellowmen called Rakyat Malaysia, yes pray
Juiue Casesar by his best friend Brutus decades back experienced similar betray
Bless a Chinaman whose word is still his bond
I join thee thy comrades' souls curse
For their politics of soul'd out mind and the fattening purse
Dr Chua, it's not only thy comrades within, in Oppo camp thrive also such vermin
Furongknights like Desi saw it at first hand and lust byte
Do Tigress Leee, Khoo Song Kok and a few-months-old Lee F**k Meng ring a belle?
Ah, also a Dan Si Lee Fatt Thigh's clone called kowboi Whose Soul'd Pong?
Brave fighting men in Rockets hailing hearty from Furong
I'd rather trust my life on other burung-burung
Than such men of honour welcomed wit' relish and fanfare by MCA*A
So weep not ex-Health Minister Dr Chua Soi Lek
Down dare is H'aven, Up there is Hell
All will be well, back to earth, than linger wit' angelic Mat Rempek
Mat Skodeng and Mat Mohamad s/O another Muhammad,
Drop that title too, "Datuk Ser" Chua
For prefixes such as this bring thee fengsui sia-sial
It's "badder" to be plain encik/cik ancient mariner, "V",
anakmerdeka and furongGOoDnight puisi-ass.pirant Desi!

Juiue Casesar by his best friend Brutus decades back experienced similar betray
Bless a Chinaman whose word is still his bond
I join thee thy comrades' souls curse
For their politics of soul'd out mind and the fattening purse
Dr Chua, it's not only thy comrades within, in Oppo camp thrive also such vermin
Furongknights like Desi saw it at first hand and lust byte
Do Tigress Leee, Khoo Song Kok and a few-months-old Lee F**k Meng ring a belle?
Ah, also a Dan Si Lee Fatt Thigh's clone called kowboi Whose Soul'd Pong?
Brave fighting men in Rockets hailing hearty from Furong
I'd rather trust my life on other burung-burung
Than such men of honour welcomed wit' relish and fanfare by MCA*A
So weep not ex-Health Minister Dr Chua Soi Lek
Down dare is H'aven, Up there is Hell
All will be well, back to earth, than linger wit' angelic Mat Rempek
Mat Skodeng and Mat Mohamad s/O another Muhammad,
Drop that title too, "Datuk Ser" Chua
For prefixes such as this bring thee fengsui sia-sial
It's "badder" to be plain encik/cik ancient mariner, "V",
anakmerdeka and furongGOoDnight puisi-ass.pirant Desi!
Keyhole : One *A represents thus, for those keen to expend thy vocab: arsehole

Sex, DVD and Mega Projects Ushered in the New Year
Posted by Raja Petra
Wednesday, 02 January 2008
TWO “interesting” pieces of news were featured in The Star newspaper on the (Christian) New Year day.
(I deliberately used the term “Christian New Year” because in Malaysia we celebrate several new years each year. On Jan. 10 we will celebrate the Awal Muharam Muslim New Year and Feb. 7 the Chinese Lunar New Year.)
The first interesting news was an un-sourced banner headline entitled “Mega projects and new plans to improve lives of people.”
In appears from the front-page report that the MCA-owned newspaper has taken upon itself to come up with “the good news.”

(Desi just hints hear that the second "interesting" piece relates to my own rambling before we accidently go diverted to RPK, who incidently got diverted to "the Scribe's" wetsite: wit' just one para extract:)
"...Then there was the admission by the Health Minister, Dr Chua Soi Lek, that he was the man – or shall we call it “the actor”? – in a sex DVD now making the rounds in Johor."

Adam and 've Set the (s)Example
PROLOGUE/CONfess added at 8.13am:
Desi did NOT harbour any intention of blogging about this so-called ministerial sex scandal as I feel there are so many other more important issues that confront this nation after 50 years of Independence, yet our MSM, and politicians, can't tell what's truly IMPORTANT, what's of SECONDARY PRIORITY, and what's BANAL, and deserve a one liner like this:
WHAT THE F**KING HELL DO I CARE, REALLY?
*******************************************************
YES! Adam and 've Set the (s)Example
Chua Soi Lek followed.
Yes, adam and eve did it.
So did Dr Chua and his girlfriend. At least he had the decency to admit it.
*One blardy politician also did it with an under-aged gal and got away with statory rape -- just because he was from the "protected species" izzit?
You and your bF/gF also did it.
Your Dad did it. Your Mum did it.
Desi did it. So did my Significant Other.
(Otherwise, how did I beget Three children?)
Sometimes husband and wife did it with each other. Sometimes they it themselves. But they also sometimes changed partners, and it's lake placidity if the spouse did not catch them with the skirt/pants down. So was it the moral duty of the neighbours of Bolehland to "spy"on the neighbour because he was from the Opposition party to use as Ammo against him/her in the sext GE?
Shall the UMNO then bring back Mat Skoeng? Make angels out of them just like the blardy stubborn UMNO youth and putera want to saintify the marauding Mat Rempit?
So Dr Chua Soi Lek told a press conference he did it with his girlfriend, not with the wife. What's the "fatal" difference?
Ah, it's the Barisan Nasional politics, you dummies!
Don't you remember, a DPM and UMNO deputy was sacked because he allegedly did it too.
And the blardy UMNO colleagues thought by pointing fingers at DSAI they were Angels
and Moral Guardians of the Hihest Order ordained by Barisan Nasional to save our morals and souls.
But it's okay if an CM did it with a girl below the age of consent-- as long as he was not filmed on video, izzit?
So it's okay the PPM did it with someone else's wife for a consideration of 1million, izzit?
So it's OK for the idiots controlling the pursestrings in NS to "BUY OUT" DAP elected wakil rakyat for a song, or was it at least 1million -- to cross over from DAP to MCA?
Oh, yes, I hear Lim F**k Meng, Tigress Leee and Khoo Song Kok did it on CONVICTION switching parties like froggies. Or Toadies. Wow, the Seremban folks are so "LUCKY" that they had elected such principled representatives -- and it's OK to jump ship -- to hell with the constituencies' VOTES! What sacred votes are you Ignoramuses tokking 'bout?
So it's alright if politikus soul'd out for a "small house" only, izzit?
F**KING ****holes, how many of the BN, or for that matter from Opposition parties like PAS, DAP and PKR had been doing the same like Dr Chua except they could have been more lucky -- doing it overseas. Or luckily, the Mat Skodeng in their areas were not so gooder at their jobs than those in Muar, JOEhole?
So it is not okay if the blardy poor writHer did it in the KLCCC Park but got caught by the City Hall councilmen who had nothing "badder" to do but prowl the bushes?
So what the blardy hell did this item enjoy prominent display in the news pages in The Star and the blardy MCA-owned Chinese newspapersa day or two earlier? WHEN THEY NIGH TOTALLY IGNORED SOME 40,000-50,000 Ralliers demonstrated for Justice and Human Rights?
I won't even dignify that blardy paper by quoting from it, but okay, I reluctantly reprised just one para from its blardy UMNO-controlled rival, NST, its online edition:
Chua admits he was man in video
MCA vice-president and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek today admitted that he was the person caught on video having sex with a woman, copies of which were widely distributed in Johor and elsewhere.
Both the papers IGNORED the BERSIH Rally of Nov 10,2007 as if it was NOT newsworthy of follow-up Commentary at all (Hey, double and single Datuk GGEIC, where did you hang your balls out to dry?) when 40,000 to 50,000 Malaysians marched in the streets of Kuala Lumpur. Both newspapers quoted the figure at only 4,000 on the first day coverage, matching an equal number of police personnle on duty!
And now The Star is featuring as "news" running down the skirt of a woman and its senior Minister, in charge of Health (turned into Hell?), caught wit' his pants down. It proves again many Bloggers were absolutely right in BOYCOTTING these mainstream papers.
Why should Chua be played up, played out, played from behind, played from the front by its own party-newshit?
Ah, Desi thinks -- NO, I'm SURE! -- Chua is being played out by his own party members. Maybe OKTing-a-ling, or CKChoy-fatt-choi-or-kunchoy, and their henchmen find it more CuntVenient to have Chua out of MCA centre-stage. UMNO stages its sandiwara, MCA its Chinese opera, MIC its Bollywood peacock danza -- who needs RTM dramas or TV3 kayu tiga soap opera?
The BN-controlled paper treated the sex scandal news with glee because te MCA ruling faction wants Chua out! That's the ONLY and SOLE -- or is it SOUL'D OUT? -- reason why Chua was given news coverage; otherVICE, te wise act would have been properly covered up, or izzit Zam-censored, or izzit double-datuk spun into an achievement rather than a defect? Dear ER, you tell Desi -- YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT MSM wat! -- Desi is only a self-claimed sexpert on Bloggin'/Blockheadin'!
But to these MSM, Zakaria's RM7-10million "small house" built without planning approvals was not being questioned.
His blardy wife being rewarded with an adjoining peice of land to follow was also not questioned.
A 27-year-old underling became a billionaire at 27 -- but no question was raised on how did he raise that "small' sum...Conscientious People's Paper made the young punk a Virtuous idiot -- and to hell with you Readers -- ently majority No? -- seeing your tax-dollars being used to bail out the banks who generously lent the monies to the dynamic young man from Wisma MCA. Desi sit's "badder" for all the "Chinese" register to become instant millionaires at Jalan Ampang than reporting for at the NS camp for duty. Who's this blardy Tan Si LeeLT to overlord over such young people telling them to be patriotic? Isn'tit not more patriotic to become an instant millionaire by the old age of 27, and make Malaysia super-rich, and proud?
At least "Badder than the kiasu Republic, wat!"
So why bother to play up/backside of Chua's do/did/deed in bed with obvious consent with a female adult?
Oh, Chua the only performing Minister from MCA (IMHO-lah!), and hence is upsetting the status quo because the other MCA miniOr other people's bedrooms. So Chua also performed at a hotel room -- now MCA hq captains mustmake a good (S)example of him!
BLARDY FIRST CLASS HYPOCRITES!
This matter is a private affair between two consenting adults. May involving Chua's wife, okay, but that's for Chua and the wife to sort out.
WHAT THE BLARDY F**KS HAVE THE REST OF THE MCA B******DS-cum-Ministers done that they think they were of a higher moral plane?
You remained silent when Port Klang Free Zone taxed the citizens RM4.5billion in a blaiout.
You maintained "elegant silence" when Zak built his "small" house -- in fact, The blardy Star newspaper instead of questioning the delinquent and law-breaking SA, put up a defence for his "ill luck" by attributing it to "bad feng sui"!
One knotty ER whispered to Desi that "maintaining elegant silence" was the good example set by Uno Numero, or is it Numero Uno? Help Desi out/oouch, sometimes he's just as "blur" asthat CEO. But I get no pay for my writHes!:(
Double Datuk GEIC, why don't you and your senior journalists now go around every hotel room armed with CCTV to take pictures of all the Adams and Eves doing it since the Garden of Eden was budded.
You may find a good representation of leders from UMNO, MCA, Gerakan, DAP and PKR -- but what the blardy hell is that newsworthy when a Malaysian minister could get away with blary murder?
When the Rakyat's RM4.5billion could be syphoned off?
When BILLIONS of our tax-monies were spent to bail-out failed Mega projects.
And where did/do all the Petronas' rising profits running close to RM46billion for last finanvcial year go?
Ah, I remember, someone at 27-years-old MCA crony became the much touted ROLE MODEL Malaysian youths back in 1997/98... he was the YOUNGEST BILLIONAIRE!
Hey, Malaysia, what's wrong with thee?
Where is thy sense of Sense and Sensibility?
I've stopped shedding tears for NegaraKu heading towards The Abyss.
I can only say:
God help us.
I:
S:
A: men
FOR THE RECORD IF MY ER DEEM RELEVANT:
Desi had been a card-carrying member of DAP at one time, switched membership to PKR the past one year because I believe that is the only "viable" political vehicle to ride under the present depressing political landscape NegaraKu faces because of mainly non-performing nincompoops from UMNO, MCA the two leadeing componets in the 14-party Barisan Nasional. SAnd giving Crdit where credit is due, I say for the objectyive record Dr Chua Soi Lek is the only "performing" (Hey, the pun or non-pun is there for thee,my ER, to decide!) minister from the MCA. The rest are at best ball-carriers to UMNO taiko, or at worst, hypocites of the highest order. And some of these idiots were playing "Brutus" in killing off a "Caesar"ite reflected in Chua.
How sad and tragic and ironic and low the Malaysian political tale can plunge into?
My dear EsteemedReaders, please tell Desi.
Desi did NOT harbour any intention of blogging about this so-called ministerial sex scandal as I feel there are so many other more important issues that confront this nation after 50 years of Independence, yet our MSM, and politicians, can't tell what's truly IMPORTANT, what's of SECONDARY PRIORITY, and what's BANAL, and deserve a one liner like this:

The rest are at best ball-carriers to UMNO taiko, or at worst, hypocites of the highest order. And some of these idiots were playing "Brutus" in killing off a "Caesar"ite reflected in Chua.
How sad and tragic and ironic and low the Malaysian political tale can plunge into?
My dear EsteemedReaders, please tell Desi.

Have a Huckleberry Fan nu'e year!
A relatively youngish EstemedReader Moses Foo caught up with Desi in Furong a few days back/front, and VVe realise that even olde newshound Desi, in reality much younger than Moses -- okay in spirit-lah! -- has a few sIrprises from The Man From Mantin.
Slightlya li'l more handsome Than the host, I treated him wit' lots of Lingam's tehtarik, and some goin' and kambin', and he broke into greAtings to Desi&co.
He reminds me of my schooldie revelry, when we had much time to stand and stare
(plagiarising -- shoo me! -- a littel from Leisure, from WH Davies hear!):
VVe have time to shake a new friend's hands
and delight in his/her company
his/her sharing not bought
okay, wit' a tehtari' and soul-sought
So today I wish awe my ER, and some strollers who may be LOST and happen at
My Blue Haven -- you may want to drop a check on the way out to help me reach that
20millon
spirite
DES
tination-
"A WONDERFUL HUCKLEBERRY FINN FAN NEW YEAR 2008!"
Inspired by Moses' li'l reminder:
"I just want to wish all of us, men and women of goodwill, the joy and pleasure of Huckleberry Finn down the mighty Missisippi, enjoying the carefreeness of woods, forests, fishes, the great outdoor and a moment of nonetocareabout to preserve our sanity, even if it means just a moment of madness."
myGOoDfriends awe, before you adjourn to Paris for Breakfast, hear's to:
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
"Moon River"
music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Hear Audrey Hepburn sing (check-lah, for Desi!, a .MP3 file).
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
L'VE,

2007 In Review: Pessimism Rules
As a writer, and to some extent as a political activist in my own ways, 2007 is best summed up in one sentence -- Pessimism Over-rides the Malaysian Landscape of Doom and Gloom, but there are some whispers of optimism here and there. How I wished it was the other way round, but our leaders -- both of the Government and Opposition ranks -- disappoint.
So Malaysia, NegaraKu, Quo Vadis?
Just as one indvidual out of some 26million Malaysians, I try to recap some key issues and events that enveloped the Malaysian consciouness the past 365 days, and I hope my EsteemedReaders will join me in pondering the fate of the nation, and where we are headed.I hope my ER will paint MORE POCKETS OF RAINBOW onto the landscape to help Desiderata-YL Chong balance the picture geenerally more grim than hopeful, but this newshound-writer may be off-track. As individuals, we bring along urprejudice, and sometimes "clouded" lenses, so I hope to hear soeopinions from some of you -- just make it the first time for those "silent" ones who happen on my blog, could have read, but did not leave their footprints before. Can you spare a moment of your time, and pen me your innermost thoughts on this last day of the yaer?
CORRUPTION
My key lament for 2007 is that despite all the announcements, pronouncements and fanfar campaigns on the fight against Corruption,promotion of noble values like Integrity, Good Governance and Transparency, I believe the nation's leaders, especially the Prime Minister and his Cabinet members, have failed us miserably in delverance of the substance to the many messages. It was mainly pronouncment of good intentions, hardly any commitment and implementation of promises.
I think there is a message implicit in the saying: "The pathway to Hell is paved with many good intentions."
Notable sorethumbs that need to be excised (by "chief surgeon" Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullaah Ahmad Badawi!) are:
* State Assemblyman for Port Klang Zakaria Mad Deros' RM7-10million "small house" -- nothing less than complete demolition of thismansion will lend any meaning to the PM's fight against corruption. Here's the clearest and most blatant show of law-breaking by a BN law-enforcer/Policy maker,and instead of punishing him, the State government further compounded the issue by "gifting" to the idiot/moron/robber baron's wife an adjoining piece of land recently.
Is the Stae anticipating Zak would be building an air-raid shelter costig another RM10million to be financed by the State government. Is the MB Khir Toyol under the sore thumb's control of a super-Little Napoleon?
** Oh, Port Klang agin! -- this royal city to be included under a special category in that stupid Buku of Rekod-rekod MalaySIA-sia.
RM4.5billion bailout of the PORT KLANG FREE ZONE.
Yet, up to date, NOT A SINGLE DELINQUENT OFFICIAL INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT (whose initial costs were less than RM1.5billion) HAD BEEN ASKED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE INHERENT CORRUPT ACTS THAT LED TO THISMESSY STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Hey, Mr PM, did the money fall out fom the kind Klang Valley sky?
OR was Petronas' almost RM50-billion net profits being channelled again for such charitable acts -- when will the blardy BN Cabinet ever learn?
THAT THE RAKYAT ARE NO MORE IN THE MOOD TO BE BLARDY-FOOLED!
*** Dear ER, you add on to this list of pure and blatant Corrupt acts witnessed in NegaraKu, in hapless bewilderment by an audience of some 26milllion (minus the 'hole sleeping Pak Lah XLL-sized Kabinet!).
DESIDERATA: I am pretty tired, so I shalt stop here. Because should I go on with my LAMENTS of the sorry events in 2007, I may run out of Gigabyte space! And my weak-hearted and angrified (is dare such a word?) EsteamedReadersmight suffer a mild heart attack,and swell the beds at IJN, and VVe citizens wouldn't want that happen, yes! Our tax-dollars can be put to "badder" use!
At the end of the ay, if the blardy leaders don't really give substance (over form) to the fight of the country's NUMBER ONE SCOURGE, Malaysia cannot hope to join the ranks of the Developed Nations alongside Singapore and Taiwan, Southeast Asian countries with whom Malaysia at one stage was at par in economic standing.
Tomy mind, if we tamed the curse of CORRPTION probem in NegaraKu, all the other problems would consequently be overcome, for they are just wagons in along train, headed by the Engine of Corruptionplus the driver, who is the nation's CEO-cum-locomotive engoneer-cum-PM, except someone seems to be playing Rip van Winkle!
At one conversation two years ago, I asked of my buddy Sdr DIN MERICAN: What do you estimate as the leakage and wastage of funds from the federal Budget?
Din's quick reply: 50 percent! (Desi was more kind, he had ventured a guess of 30 percent...)
My dear ER, what are your year-end charitable/most unkindest estmates?
PS: UPDATEd @6.06pm:
After a hearty "long" lunch followed by bourgeosie Hi-Tea with two politically-informed but could not jaundiced (like Desi-lah) and every other Malaysian becoming more aware and increasing very vocal nowadays, a good result of BERSIH and Hindraf demos?:) and Anwar Ibrahim-cum-Reformasi revival??:) cum the growing influence of the Bloggers???:).Okay, drop the question marks, and the undoubted rocketing influence of the Bloggers!:):):)See, I have done my byte in promoting Blogging among Malaysians, can you write Desi a check?
Now, as I was saying, one of my lunch conversationists just returned from Ozland; followed by a short ketchUP with returning for Christmas holiday in PP of a Young&Articulate, Desi has his worst fears confirmed. The senior conVersationist says he has advised two gals who had studied and graduated in Australia, and are now handsomely working Down Under, NOT TO RETURN TO Malaysia. What's there to welcome them back, and his conclusion -- returned three years back just as I started this Blogger's journey -- that Malaysia is sliding more and more every year, and The Abyss is staring at us maybe a short 10 years away.
The short-time returnee,now professonally trying to prevent Seniors from need ing to extract their wisdom tooth/teeth in LOTR country, says she's doing fine inher adopted land. I forsee many of her contemporaries -- just started work abroad where they studied to become professionals like dentist, pharmer, scientist (No, not astronu!) would NOT BE COMING BACK TO MALAYSIA. Not because they don'tlove Malaysia-- it's just they don't see having a bright future in a declining system called Bolehland.
I agree. we are "boleh" in the wrong departments. Re-inventing the wheels and patting ourselves and blowing the trumpets ourselves as if Malaysians hadve achieved a breakthrough.Riding as a passenger in a foreign space-craft and we trumpeted for weeks that we have entered the Space Age. My foot! It's not able to do Michael Jackson's moonwalk! I am Too Young, so who am I to return such a Verdict that it's all gloom and doom on the horizon.
As a blardy half-past-six writer, desi tries to check and balnce the colours of Malaysia's landscape,add some rainbow colours here and there. Maybe, just perhaps, okay, Mayhaps, IF WE INDIVIDUALS ALLL WAKE UP ON TIME
to realise that the past decade's economy had mainly been buttressed by PETRONAS oil dolars,
WE MSAY MAY A GENUINE FIRST EFOORT TO TRULY NEHAVE LIKE A FIRST WORLD ECONOMY.
About a decade ago, as a business journalist, I witnessed the financial systemic breakdown.
Today, I see a moral systemic breakdown when GREED rules over every blardy damned thing the nation's leaders, especially political heads, engage in.
Even Desi's mildly affected,he's asking for 20million for his 3-year-old Blue Haven. Any takers, of some 25million suckers out there? (Minus one million who are in the top 5 percent who make up what mGf Maverick SM calls endearingly, Bloodsuckling Oligarchs.

VISIONS of ...
Too-olde-olde-SE7EN bonds Connery and Moore. fading out ...
Like French wines and Chinese premium teas Pu-erh, with age cometh rising value, so as Desi and Co add one 365 days-stretch when 2008 dawns in two+1 moOre days, we become wiser, HOPEfuly, and dantier, STEPfully, and friendlier, FAITHfully.
In all temporal things, I price/prize fRiendship at the highest level because we are all caught in this constant fight between GOoD and (D)evil since we first entered this world mostly not of our own choice, more likely via an accidental act of ecstasy between little adam and eve before the rude awakening. If you are an adult, and know not what the preceding sentence means, go ask thy below-17-but-tastng-the-age-of-consent fruits of easy labour before time sonny boy,or danzinggal, you will be surprised they know what's Ecstasy -- both the pill and the state -- but knot Adam's apple. Or Eve's agony.
Being dainty is a quality that fits into the Desiderata.Feminity if thou art olde schooled like Desi and coy. So it's ranked second in my order of temporal things I'd like of my fella women, or ladies, or virginal queens. Whatever that suits by probably theory, half of my most EsteemedReaders.
As for being "wise", it should by the nature of things, come naturally wit' rising Age. But trouble is, some members of the species called Homo sapiens, often want to fight Nature. Hence, a handsome young boy like Michael Jacksonny became a Michelle Jackaroo, wasting God's gifted talents for some nip&tuck that maketh many doctors happy as a lark/luck. Also maketh some dumb blondes looking blondier and dumber wit' more tuck&nip on their tucker-tummy and nickle-nipples.
So instead of becoming wiser, some of Homo sapiens clubbies become aMoreVice-d, but who's Desi and company to judge, it's their money, honey! I only like to sing wit' my Blogger buddies like Howsy, Mave and Expyre(d) -- No, Anak Merdeka did not make a cameo AP! -- now joined by Ancient Mariner and "V"-cum-Pardner, and MosesF: Hey JUDE. or Hi Judy!
Again, if you don't follow Desi, nahmind, it's just a Blogger's year-end abuse of an AP you can get also in 3EzySteps at Blogger.com. That was the parting advice that I urged "V" as well as in respnose via sms when one Moses sms-ed profused thanks for ak tehtarik-stanied-kopi of Midnight Voices when he came down awe the way from Balakong to make up the quorum for G7 Yesterday, when all our (Desi, Ancient Mariner, "V" and Significant Other) troubles were so far away.
For my EstemedReaders who didn't attend, nahmnd,I know your (HE)art of hearing is so artfoolyou heard every word we said along the oblong table. FurongKnights did not like any round table for that applied for King Arthur and his horseriders, whileDesi & co are mainly Socialists wt' a Capitalist bent and a Bourgeousie APpetit. Daintily siping French wines and Pu-erh teas after gulping down like Croc Downdees tehtarik plus Miss Sunthi. Just a hint of what intellectual discourse that was whispered SE7EN hours before midnight, here's the sms I received just an hour after te do/did/deed, and I bl'sh'd jest a li'l gushing from one who look'd just the age of johnleemk, via sms:)

Desi was expecting to get a Viva in my fave colour BLUE; but it rose too high out of reach,so I settled for Apple Green, when Christmas trees were tall, and I was still small.

Your eyes so appealing

Poetic Licence to Make It *Badder
In this almost three-year cyber journey, I re-learnt the (HE)art of making new friends. You might have grown up wit'mates from the schooldays going back a decade, two or three.
Desi's pretty n young,it's only travellin' back half.
If you honestly tell the world, you have very few of schoolmates you would call "buddies. But in blogosphere, you win some "buddies" in a shorter time. Because in reading someone's writes, you either connect -- call it having chemistry if you will -- and soon you interact more, and become "buddies" (as flower blooms from a bud) or you don't, so you move on. Please note that I am bolding (THUS) many words I have been using a special licence, or put bluntly, abusing of the Queen's English, because if you can't be a king of the language, try to be a Raja Rojak and earn yourself a mention in that book of records that Malaysians are known the world over four! (4 as in four corners of the world when it's still believed by many locals here that the world is indeed flat, beating Thomas Friedman to his claim, nyet, except the smart Americano newsdog became a millionaire putting thoughts to words). The Bard and others like Wordsworth, Lord Tennyson, Ehrmann and the Brownings used it as POETIC LICENCE,and Desi is an imitator. As they say, Imitation is the best form of flattery.
Earlier this week, I had used the word *badder in a jestfool way, teasing my EsteemedReaders ("Hear cometh ER,make way, we have an accident case!".
Example: on ++wedNURSEday, "I sent the following Email to the Director of MC late evening yesterday (hey, see this Journalist works for thee, my dear ER, free and on overtime. Can you spare me a dime for tehtarik then, buddy? *Badder steal, write Desi a cheque for 20million!
*This is part of Da Desi Code, come back on Sunday to know aMore:)"
Xmas ChallengiA: Can a smartaleck ER tell why the hell this hoRst keeps spelling this ++third day of the week this way?
Goode answerer gets an autographed kopi of "Midnight Voices and Other Poems" -- but you need to seek Desi out at hazey, mazey, crazey Furong, K, OK or KO!
I had meant to take Blogging as a fun-D activity, plucking off fellow Bloggers' gems off their gard'nern(Primroses, in Supreme Gardnern yaeh yah yeah?) in the steal of the night, in line with my belief that goode writings must be universally shared.
A late bloomer at Desi's Place who called himself Moses FooL minus the L -- because not everyday is April 1st, and I don't think his Mum still serves him Everydae milk! -- had chickily asked Desi to draw up a Grocery list describing my chai tan of DDC(Da Desi Code -- go aRskE da hoRst of allofhelen.blogspot.comto explain this nomenclature!). In DDC, it should read aweofhelen, but then you'd be led to a deadend, and that would make your Sundae prety wickedwan.
So how to justify using *badder in place of better as the comparative form of good?
Don't you remember?
"Those schoolgirl days
of telling tales and biting nails are gone..."
Good; better; best
Small; smaller; smallest
Pretty; Prettier; prettiest
OR Pretty; More pretty, Most pretty
Hey,Jude or Judy, but no, for heaven's sake! (Why shouldn't it be For hell's sake?), No
Unique; More unique; Most unique
Certain words like unique, priceless, supreme, almighty ... already have the "superlative" quality, so need no more qualifier.
And if you should ask Desi WHY, please seek this saiko (I emerged just half-a-decade earlier from the womb, remember!) -- JeffOoi is the tailo! -- at Men Kee from 8.00-10.00am and buy him CON BF!
And if you need to ask what is CON BF hear, stand in that church corner/korner at aweofhelen's church in Ipoh!:) OR Get outa of hear!
After a Long and Winding Road, VVe recall one of my favourite
youthful anthems, which willplease NSTman no end, and I think expyred minus da d,
who once invited Howsy and Desi to join him at the Yellow Submarine. It looked a little pinkish due to the changing seasons of London streets -- blowin' hot and cold! -- so VVe brought along a new coat of Royal colour paint borrowed from BERSIH.
Hey Jude
Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles
Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it *badder (better)
Hey Jude don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it *badder (better)
And any time you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na na na na na
na na na na
Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it *badder (better)
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na na na
na na na na Yeah
Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it )badder (better)
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it )badder (better)
*****Badder, badder, badder, badder, badder,
(Better, better, better, better, better,) Yeah,Yeah,Yeah
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da, Hey, Jude
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da, Hey, Jude
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da, Hey, Jude
DESIDERATA: If you grab hold of the original single (I have one, for aucton at reserved price of 20million,and listen properly, the Beatles really (believe Desi-lah, for once!) sang it as *Badder all the way. Of course "better" within brackets above are the original wordings, I'm just demonstrating a point, hear!) Me and a few mates during Chinoserie New Year would go karaoke, and belt out the chorus like the night will never end. It will only get badder, bader, badder. Awesome.
So if you can't be a Shakespeare clone like Desi, saying of Brutus' fatal dagger stab into Caesar's chest on the +Ides of March -- "the most unkindest cut of all" -- writHing poems for a mousey living, use the Poetic Licence in your Blog-lah. It's Awesome. Then you may get a request from Moses Foo, no ale!, to 'rite out another Glossary. That's a Hi-Tribute, but DDC is already copy-lefted with the Trademarks Office, K!
+ By the way (BTW among Bloggers, which I thought stood for Between the Two of Us when I started at kindie:), Ides of March is the 15th day of the third month in the ....... calendar, also Desi's Place birddie. Remember to send me GreAtings plus that check, right! Or what's left.
MERRY and BLESSED CHRISTMAS everyone
Count your blessings and remember me
to ta pau some turkey for Desi
Too pricey? Roast lamb also can-wan
PS: In the spirit of Yuletide, I say adieu till Boxing Day -- coming back from YouTube's sweet and goodwill reminiscences -- with another Beatles' memorable >>>>>>>
