Congratulations

To all those that voted – whatever the pessimists say, you did make a difference. 5 states eh? Samy out! Kelantan retained, Kedah, Perak, Selangor and Penang won most by a huge majority. Tides are changing – let’s hope the future is a positive one. BN was denied the crucial 2/3rds majority. I hope the […]

The State of Public Transport in Malaysia

This is a much discussed issue, especially with the recent tragedy at Slim River and the deaths of 3 young bright citizens (20, 21 and 23) of Malaysia. I often wonder if having a system like we do in the UK would make much difference, in UK it’s know as the MOT or Ministry of […]

Life’s Little Jokes

Strangely enough a day after writing about Corruption in Malaysia, I got stopped by a ‘roadblock’ on MRR2 at about 1.30am. It didn’t look particularly official and I don’t think they even had a speedtrap set-up, they were just fishing for bribes. I thought this when I pulled up, but it was soon confirmed.. The […]

Corruption – You bribe too DON’T YOU – It’s all YOUR Fault

Now this is an interesting topic…and it comes back to the same old subject again sadly. Malaysia hypocrisy and apathy. It’s a fairly serious topic, but one that comes up fairly often. It’s somewhat confusing as a foreigner in Malaysia, especially at first, trying to comprehend the Malaysian mind-set. At first Malaysians seems like patriotic […]

Crashed Real Bad

Well it’s working to some degree, half of the images are missing and a bunch of other stuff isn’t working properly yet. Plus the last time I backed up the database was September 10th so all posts/comments since then have been lost. I’ve gotten the Google cache from the front page, but those posts I […]

Lessons to learn in life

Apologies for the late update today…some lessons to learn in life. 1) Look where what you driving over rather than just driving, there might be something sharp on the road. 2) If you hear any funny noises stop your car and check it out, because you might have a big piece of metal stuck in […]

Tmnut again

Ah so many posts to write, Tmnut is playing silly buggers the last few days. Most of the time I can’t access Flickr, can’t access any sites hosted on blogspot, sometimes can’t connect to any Google services, can’t connect to MSN.. And when it’s all working it’s so terribly slow, even surfing is a pain. […]

GODDAMNIT – Talk about luck.

Ok so a few days ago someone painted fuck on my car – and it just wiped off. Good. Last night I was driving to dinner, minding my own business, creeping forwards waiting at a traffic light the next thing I know ‘bang’ I look back and some fuckwit on a motorbike has just rear […]

FUCK

Sunday is a sacred day for me, for eating pizza and watching movies. Plus the odd other activity like playing PS2 (I’m at the final race on NFS:Carbon finally) and processing some pictures (didn’t manage to do any today – slept too much). But I had to go out this Sunday to Laundry to meet […]
