just came across this ...

my fav singer doing various TV theme songs.

Good fun. And certainly nice to know Josh sings other genre as well.

Sabahans working outside the State urged to be aggressive

This is the kind of news headlines that will turn heads!

Why on earth would one needs to be aggressive in order to be successful? Is the use of aggression helpful in being a success? just what and how is success defined?

Statements like this from a Federal Minister shows either a serious bankrupt of ideas or simply nothing better to say. When the Minister has to carry favours with both Federal and State levels, there will be moments of lapse, i suppose.

Single vs. Engaged vs. MARRIED!!

Sipping her drink, the single girl leered and said, “Last Friday at the end of the work day I went to my boyfriend’s office wearing a leather coat. When all the other people had left, I slipped out of it and all I had on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stiletto heels. He was so aroused that we made passionate love on his desk right then and there!”

The engaged woman giggled and said, “That’s pretty much my story! When my fiancé got home last Friday, he found me waiting for him in a black mask, leather bodice, black hose and stiletto pumps. He was so turned on that we not only had sex all night, he wants to move up our wedding date!”

The married woman put her glass down and said, “I did a lot of planning. I made arrangements for the kids to stay over at Grandma’s. I took a long scented-oil bath and then put on my best perfume. I slipped into a tight leather bodice, a black garter belt, black stockings and six-inch stilettos. I finished it off with a black mask.
When my husband got home from work, he grabbed a beer and the remote, sat down and yelled, ‘Hey, Batman, what’s for dinner?

100KM off shore fishing from Kudat......one day.

The driver of the van that took us from Kudat to KK last Sunday is a avid fisherman. I dont quite remember how we started talking about fishing, but one thing led to another.

Apparently, he goes for 3D/2N fishing off shore from Kudat. The journey out would take some 8 to 10 hours, which would mean at least 100KM off shore. They normally use hand line of not less than 80 pounds. Something i have never learn to do.

His last trip out he caught a red snapper of 30kg, that is huge. And on one trip, three giant groupers more than 30kg each!

I have his hand phone number now; so, I will want to make the trip to do that kind of fishing...one day.

a bit of laughter....

BOY : May I hold your hand?
GIRL : No thanks, it isn't heavy.

GIRL : Say you love me! Say you love me!
BOY : You love me...

GIRL : If we become engaged will you give me a ring??
BOY : Sure, what's your phone number??

GIRL : I think the poorest people are the happiest.
BOY : Then marry me and we'll be the happiest couple

GIRL : Darling, I want to dance like this forever.
BOY : Don't you ever want to improve??

BOY : I love you and I could die for you!
GIRL : How soon??

BOY : I would go to the end of the world for you!
GIRL : Yes, but would you stay there??
SHARON : Have you ever had a hot passionate, burning kiss??
TRACY : I did once. He'd forgotten to take the cigarette out of his mouth.

MAN : You remind me of the sea
WOMAN : Because I'm wild, romantic and exciting?
MAN : NO, because you make me sick.

WIFE : You tell a man something, it goes in one ear and comes out of the other.
HUSBAND : You tell a woman something: It goes in both ears and comes out of the mouth.

MARY : John says I'm pretty. Andy says I'm ugly.What do u think, Peter?
PETER : A bit of both. I think you're pretty ugly.

2) Teacher : "Which is more important to us, the sun or the moon?"

Make up

Last Friday, a close friend of the family came to the house while the children were still on their school holidays. Being off from school, they were not really bound by rules which would otherwise dictate their hairstyles, the length of their fingernails etc.

The friend applied some makeup on to the younger girl. Apparently, she sat totally still(which is rare since she is always hyper!!) and had her face transformed.

See the end result....

Busy week ahead...

Predicting a rather busy week ahead.

On Thursday and Friday scheduled to represent the company to Session Court at Ampang for a rather old case. Had been going there maybe twice a year since 2004. Not sure whether this week will see the end of this case or maybe another postponement.

Originally, before setting of the court date, I am due to fly back to Sabah for my mum's birthday dinner. I will not be flying on Thursday morning but instead will go off on Friday evening, arriving at KK about 740pm. Will then drive back to Kudat at about 10pm or so. Should get back sometime about 1am.

On Sunday will be flying back to KL.

To compound on all these, there are numerous issues needing conclusions in the office soon...

An old proton on Fifth Gear...

The TV program Fifth Gear is one of those iconic shows where reviews and crazy stunts are shown.

This Proton is undergoing extensive second life testing. Bought for a princely sum of GBP200, it could be worth it eh..?

I guess in the car's country of origin, this would probably set the purchaser back some RM5000 at least.

baby monkey

I took a 11+ hours drive yesterday to from Subang Jaya to Kuala Krai in Kelantan. This is like the first time i have ever driven to Kelantan.

Towns passed included Bentong, Raub, Hulu Dong, Kuala Lipis, Gua Musang. Without the Garmin GPS, we would be lost, for sure. We followed the GPS to the letter and it led us into shortcuts through Felda oil palm estates.

The purpose was to see some area in Dabong, along the Sungai Sam road. Dabong is supposedly a popular train stop for tourists. There is a rather high up waterfall, and there is also a resort called Gua Ikan.

On the way back to Subang Jaya, a baby monkey ran across the road in front of my car. Since there were lots of vehicles behind me, i was unable to brake hard without risking a rear end job.

The monkey made a rather dull 'ka dunk' sound and laid motionless thereafter.....

PKFZ and Consultancy Fees

This 'scandal' is far from being resolved, and my guess is the following will be the end result:

- MACC will find no unlawful or corrupt practices and will close file
- Our Transport Minister will not be able to tell more since the case is still under MACC
- Our Prime Minister will continue to say, 'please ask the Transport Minister'.

The biggest losers in all this? Us, the people of Malaysia. The tax payers, the many schools that could have been built/improved upon.

The funny thing is, after all these exposures, we still have companies coming forward 'claiming' for more money from the gravy train.

The use of invoices marked as 'corporate advisory services' to 'siphon' and 'divert' funds is probably one of the most used and misused 'documentary method'. Such invoices do not need to show or prove anything. It could well be just a single sentence on a sheet of paper showing a website where information can be obtained, or maybe a 2 hours meeting without meeting minutes.

'Corporate Advisory Services', if the PKFZ really entered into such an agreement with an 'Corporate Services Sdn Bhd' company only shows there is absolute intention from the word 'GO' to do something not ethical. How else can one explain high powered and highly paid executives having to pay an external company millions to do something that should be done internally in the first place? I am sure, if PKFZ were to spend 5% of the 'claimed' amount, and invites consultants from around the world, they will need iron clad doors to keep out companies from around the world.

If the MACC does not investigate this claim, it will only serves to reinforce what is already known; there is something more to hide....
