Why being Malaysian is the best!

Good joke!


Being a Malaysian is the best because...



1. World tallest twin towers, Best F1 circuit, largest roti canai, most expensive toll rates, because Malaysia Boleh!

2. We can be driving, picking our nose, cursing another driver, talking on the handphone, adjusting the radio and bribing the traffic police at the same time.

4. Traffic summons can be settled on the spot with the traffic police.

5. We can have Teh Tarik & Roti Canai on the Russian space ship.

6. We can save a lot of electricity because our TV shows are so crappy.

7. We can blame everything on the haze or George Soros or government or the opposition parties or...

and three others watching...

9. Most drivers can make 2 lane trunk roads into 3 lane highway and back to 2 lanes when police are sighted

10. There's always something for the JKR/TNB/TELEKOM/SYABAS to do.

They dig, resurface the road, dig and resurface...and blame each other for bad co-ordination.

11. All main roads are designated highway because it gives Samy Velu a reason to collect toll.

12. Our government can never be wrong or dishonest.

13. Our badminton players are paid only RM35,000 when they win a major international tournament which is very cheap compared to David Beckham.

14. You can easily get a divorce and marry a young singer you like.

15. We can even use C4 explosives to bombard Gengkis Khan or Kublai Khan's great grandchildren.

16. We have more water than Singapore .... nyek nyek nyek.

17. If you have no money you can always snatch other peoples' money since police can't do much to help.

18. If you are a police, doesn't matter about the traffic rules, its for citizens only

19. If you are a policeman outrider you can kick and bang peoples' cars.

20. If you drive a police car, you can speed because speed limits only apply to citizens.

21. You can settle your summons with big discount during “Sales Malaysia”.

22. All motor riders can join the recognized & supported Mat Rempit club for free and can beat up anybody in their way and can even throw stones at the police station anytime they like.

23. If you got nothing to do join the rela and go to the kongsi gelap and extort monies from all the foreign workers.

24. You can rape people and blame them for wearing very little.

25. You don’t need to bother about the poor when you race in your F1.

26. You can keep your money and get a free degree when you have 'connections'.

27. You can get work done with 2 hours lunch break, 2 hours tea break and the rest of the time attending meetings.

28. You get free “bumi” status even if you swim from Indonesia.

29. You can change your sworn Statutory Declaration anytime.

30. You can be a paedophile by “marrying” your young bride.

31 . A country so free to do things you like.

Uncertainty, a certainty of life

I was very uncertain about what I was going to do for this year, that was at the end of last year, where I'll plan out the entire year and timelines.
As we approach the end of this year, the time has come for the same thing that I must do.
After all, if I was so sure that everything I plan becomes a success, then I would be a God, wouldn't I?
My main sustenance is the fact that this journey is still ongoing with the destination getting nearer and nearer, and once it gets to that point, I'll be already plotting a new course of the next stage.
Which brings to mind, this quote:

To live only for some future goal is shallow.
It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.


- Robert M. Pirsig

Why it's important to have a positive attitude

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.


- Herm Albright

Here's a tip for you, Malaysia

When Benjamin Franklin was asked after a session of the Constitutional Convention, ""What kind of a government have you given us?""
he replied, ""A democracy, if you can keep it.""

Our republic is founded on the principle that it will continue only as long as the people keep democracy alive.

With each political campaign, the people who vote keep democracy alive.

Each citizen who participates in community affairs is keeping democracy alive.

Every act of mercy and helpfulness, every word spoken for freedom, keeps the democratic spirit alive.

Democracy is maintained by passing it on from one generation to another in the school, in place of worship, in the home.

At every stage, it must be strengthened. Let us therefore resolve to give to our successors a stronger republic than was passed on to us.


-- Thomas A. Watson

Life lessons I learned from a jigsaw puzzle

Don't force a fit. If something is meant to be, it will come together naturally.



When things aren't going so well, take a break. Everything will look different when you return.



Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only leads to frustration.



Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.



When one spot stops working, move to another. But be sure to come back later (see above).



The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook.



Variety is the spice of life. It's the different colors and patterns that make the puzzle interesting.



Establish the border first. Boundaries give a sense of security and order.



Don't be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising.



Take time to celebrate your successes (even little ones).



Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can't be rushed.

Selamat Hari Raya Haji

To all my Muslim friends, Selamat Hari Raya Haji!
Those who are Christians or Muslims would know the story of Abraham, or Ibrahim, and why this day is celebrated
In any case, remind yourself of this saying by one of my favourite authors:

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many--not


on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.


-- Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
