A follow-UP to yesterday's Post ~~~
Our Malaysian hero businessman RAVICHANDRAN THARUNALINGAM, shares double-billing with New Zealander MARK INGLIS, for conquering EVEREST, the world's highest mountain, on Monday, the feat well captured by theSun's headline --
True grit
and all heart
~~~~
came INDIRECTLY via The Star today in its
Other News&Views column, page N32 -- I'm NOT reproducting anything more than
the HEADLINE. Predictable. You can raed what is NOT writ, can't you?
The said column s a compilation of news sighted in other papers,
vernacular like Tamil Nesan, Kosmo! and Sin Chew Daily.
Okay, just the HEADLINE:
MIC to honour
mountaineer
DESIDERATA: My first reaction was: Why MIC?
WHY NOT THE GOVERNMENT?
Why not the Government?
why not the gomen?
Whether Ravi is an MIC member or not, Desi does not know. No need to know.
But I know Ravi is a Malaysian.
And as a Malaysian, it should be the Malaysian Government
to honour him.
MIC, DAP and MCP can come later --- but they'd better wait in line.
Where is Youth&Sports Minister Azalina Othman?
Is she too busy looking after Other youths actvities
like Rakan Mudah
and Sepak Takcrawl?~~~~~~~~
Or she is struck dumb by RAVICHANDRAN's small acheivement.
Whatever.
I remember the lyrics to one song~~~
Shall we adopt this as a national Anathema Song?
Please rise, let's sing
WITH ONE VOICE, ONE HEART~~~
SILENCE IS GOLDEN
Tremeloes Lyrics
Oh, don't it hurt deep inside
To see someone do something to her
Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry
Oh, especially when someone is her
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep
Even though there is nowhere to go
How could she tell, he deceived her so well
Pity, she'll be the last one to know
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
How many times will she fall for his line
Should I tell her or should I keep cool?
And if I tried, I know she'd say I lied
Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool
Silence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
PS: There are many VVIPs among us,
They also have eyes,
But many do not see.
God save our souls,
I:
S:
A: men.
UPDATE@lunchtime in Malaysia:
mGf whispered: Many of these VVIPs vigorously promote Vision 2020, but they CLOSE ONE EYE.
One based in lundun was interjecting in his sleep:
No-lah, these mankeys have (BOTH) EYES WIDE SHUT.
Reminding us about the one featuring NICOLE KIDMANand TOM CRUISE.
In BTW mention, Howsy also claimed they were making love stuck NAKED.
Y&A Theels begs to differ, protesteth: I deem Nicole was wearing some bod-colored lingerie.(Words to similar effect which I'm recalling to my luver's best...)
But the hoRst has the final say:
That sort of attire is negligee-ble.
No wonder the Cruiser's tyres pumped out,
and an Urban-ite has taken over his place.
BTW2:
Page W47 of The Star has got the gossip~~~
Kidman to marry
country music star
LOS ANGELES: Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman,
ex-wife of actor Tom Cruise, is engaged to marry
country music star KEITH URBAN, his spokesman said
on Tuesday.
One Desi is still besotted with Nicole after seeing her can-can dance attired
role in Moulin Rouge, and misinterpretating her business-attired role as an "INTERPRETER" at the UNited NAsiones, and I don't know if it was her in
THE HOURS?
DatDesi's steal Patiently&Virtuously
waiting in the wings. Chicken, anyone?

Strange to see his community rising to celebrate his victory, instead of his country. Sad to realise that thoughts along racial divide sprout so quickly.
Silence is golden, but silence is also a licence in perpetuity.
Good to know Mr Desi remembers Nicole... especially in breath-taking girdle...
Too bad this great country never paid too much attention to the other Nicole. Perhaps she is not wearing girdle .. or is it...the headress... ? Personally, I think she looks smashing in her racquets.
Our leaders will say this is a colonial legacy - divide and rule. However strangely after nearly fifty years, we still divide and rule.
If you read Yasmin's blog you will remember what one film producer said on national TV. Malaysia Melayu punya. Guess this explains why.
Climbing Mt. E is nothing ler... Why should the gomen even bother rewarding or recognizing people to go up the highest peak in the world whilst every other pro mountaineer has been doing it since tanzing norgay and Ed Hill. Let alone recognizing people that went on the trip to the north pole, antartica and some alien nation on tax payers money.
MIC nor the gomen shouldn't even recognize these people. Make Malaysian's proud? Errrr... tax payers monies down the drain.
What about me..? I wanna go to the moon. Does the gomen support me..? Hell no! Unless maybe i do a bar mitzvah!
They continue to demand patriotism (ie vote BN) from us but other than this display to prove your right to citizenship, what's our worth to them?
"Kalo u tak suka, u keluar dari Malaysia!"
"Kaum pendatang!" "Be grateful (for whatever crumbs thrown your way)!"
Every which way u turn in this country, u are reminded in not so subtle ways to know your place here.
joepsc:
You're wise to share your thoughts here -- but I dunno whether my hoemn appreciates.
Sext time you enter Malaysia-eh, they may impose an Entry Tax to 4-figure, so badder come more often to Johore Baru, or Fu Rong, and we'll drink Tehtarik -- tolak 'em also-cun! -- before that deadline.:)
Pols bring some SinG cili crab/p, the latter for the Customs if they want sumthin' in kind.:(
helen:
you know Desi's tastes inside-out, UPside-down-y.
Hmm, Nicole -- breathtaking wityh or withOUT dat girdle; I have an inkling' what this accessory attire is, might this mighty lad' from Ipoh demo pls?
From Bond, Desi bonded ~~ "For sum eyes only."
Nicol -- I think the State and Federal gomens have at least done sumthin' for her/family. Salute to N. David. De-feAt-ing some Goliaths.
Headress - why clothe a gem natureil that God bestoweth. A girdle cum racket jest nice -- no hurdle, no ruckus.
Helen -- how's your badMINTonne? Art thou game, after some FR siew Pau. Double also-cun, Joes can read my mind; You've gotta Lilian sisdar/mui mui?
I'd arrange press coverAGE -- if you're under Age of non-Dissent, pls put on a headA-tyre. Lily can appear in all her nu'e glory in the field. 'Smashing' in Da Nu'es World headlines.
wormie:
Believe this is thy "virgin" visit to Des's ground? I offer thee Haridas Tehtarik -- on a gelas mamak stylo, or Golden goblet, princess-ly style?
They still divide and rule - we will steel fight, tooth, nail and racket! In the da steal of the night, even in out nightie2!
No worries -- despots shall fall, and Justices worms and catspillars, buttercups&buttflies, Desiccates&errigniStars will finally roost, rise and rue and rule.
Right is Might.
Yasmin&Amir&Ravi are our nu'e & real heroes. Leave those reel ones like Bung and Ali-ka-Zam alone.
Dangerous V:
I must beg to differ in terms of human prowess and endeavour -- Those peopl who swam the English Channel with guardian boat in tow, those who padded to the North and South poles "flying" most of the way with medical teams in tow -- they PALE in comparision withwith RASVI's feat.
Let's give credit and honour where and when it's DUE.
Ravi went onthe mission ON HIS OWN VOLITION, to RAISE FUNDS for 7 charities. That defines honour and charity.
I just hope Politikus don't jump onto the bangwagon and then muddy his good name.
Let's trult ttreasure Towering Malaysians like Ravi and Nicol; upcoming icons like Yasmin and Amir who are trailblazers; they form the stepping stones for the emergence of a Nobel Prize winner in our Malaysian cradles.
anak merdeka:
With unity in purpose and voice,
We the Dissenting Voices shall overcome.
We are no less, or more, patriotic than those mankees in that RUMAHsParlimen -- we don't hear them
We still have two eyes each, wide open and seeing.
We see through their vile & venom;
we shan't dignity 'em with any reBUTTal but the only language they undersatnd ~~ F'OFF! (Isit 4 or 5-letter? (ProFUNity in Desi's Pur(po)se.:)
PS: Anak M-- Have you found bro Mave SM nyet?
Mave's digging his gouty heel in for his upcoming LLB exam - eh, how come Doctor teaching PhD students also want to do law thingy now? Got to ask him one day what issit that is so interesting about mugging for more honours. Soon we will need to address him as Locter Docter Mave (DOUBLE DOC mah!)
(p.S.: mAVE - don't get pissed off by my little joke, 'k?)
anak M: thanks for Update on Mave.
Double Doc is maRvellous -- jest tell him to take a brake once a w'ile.
Desi has got a Masters,
butt the MISStress is steal missING!
Don't know whether Howsy can track gher down in Gay Paree -- now doin a 3sum with Mimi, Nicole and Missey.:):):):
So do you think our friend will be given a Datukship, a bungalow, a ride round town, a lunch sitting next to the PM, a new Proton Perdana?
BTW, do you think you could give me Kyles' blog address? I've lost it somewhere :( Thanks, TehC.
They all sibuk with this Marina lar! Who cares about him?
Wait, who need Everest when there is the Da Desi COde to conquer??
Hey, I lost you once again on the later part. Lillian?? You mean TIger Lily of Malaya Pearl Habor?
i agree with sisda Helen.
Nicole is top seed player but only rewarded by sponsors (most frm private sports company)
No bungalow, no proton no nothing from gomen.
Remember what the sidek brothers got?
fishtail:
I hope the hero RAVI cometh from Penang. At least the COM dare dares to recognise a hero/heroine when he sees one/double. Visionary. Two Eyes Wide Open.
No need a Datukship -- that's a liability. A man-sion on a hill (Bukit Penang or Mertajam, okay, even Peace Hill) would be Nice.
The gal from Taiping has a unique page nama -- "kyels.com" -- as she yells genteelly. Till now she mystifies Desi with her Laments of a BH Silhouette. I have a hint that sith is a mail.
Update Desi's {lace if you can fish out the reAson for the broken heart? Or isit... another Mona Lisa with that ... (DaVinci) s-mile?
Hwosy:
You always have an EYE wide open for the fe-mail! Mimi, Nicole, now Marina!
I protesteth on behalf of Ravi then -- why wait for one year to see the attainment of a feAt -- how about fete-ing a HERO now.
Sekarang. Masakini.
Oh Mariner, thour art at sea
I'm at the mountain top: Ravi
helen:
Methinkls you put Desi COde at the Mountaine Toppe
I only spin taels daily at Semuanya Okay kopishoppe
That Lilian mystique came from a five-times Mum
Who posed a sexy Q re De'si's hint
of a a match
Better now from this quiz thou de-tach
OtherVICE a rumour can become a- Bash.
FAshionistA:
Nicol did get some monetary rewards frpm Fed Government and an apartment from one Koh (So-Keen's) state garment.
Sufficeint- lah for starters -- dowan to repeAt bad history of those S Boys -- overkill, overbill -4- underskill, underwill.
Nicol, and Ravi, with JUST rewards that don't go over-board...
That's what rightist and leftist
thinking Malaysians pray for
Ne regrets for Pampers afterwards.
Hi Everyone. I am Ravi and I thank you all for the comments. I am happy to be back home and hope to raise enough fund for the charity. I appreciate all comments. Take care.
