I was amazed yesterday when our local TV aired the old comedy cum action pack movie - WASABI, but in English. Kind of weird watching the movie in English while the original is in French. Exactly, mouth movement not consistent to the voice. But why at 12am / midnight? Gosh.... it leaves me no choice but to stop watching half way through as my sleepiness is calling badly. I love this movie during years back and I have a copy of VCD that I kept for more than 10 years. If I am not mistaken, I have watch this movie for more than 5 times. Sometimes I keep asking myself, if I already watch it, why would I want to watch the same again and again, repeatedly? Anyway I am a movie buzz person. I don't mind watching the same movie for more than once if it entertains me. I thought if I can replace the VCD I had with DVD but think again, will DVD face out soon? Or probably BLURAY? I wish there is a cinema that plays old movies; I bet I will be the only one buying the tickets. Anyway for those who have yet to watch this movie, I would recommend you watch them with your kids. Although there are violence (very minimal) acts but the most important of all, the hidden love story between the father and daughter. No matter how tough a man his, to them, their family is always comes first. To those who interested to watch this movie, I recommend you purchase the original French version with English subtitle. At least you can have the real sound effect and original voice from the actress and actors. Of course you have to pay more attention on the subtitles if you wish to understand the movie.

27.09.2013 - 15 years jailed for humiliating the flag?
1 of the blogger says; Malaysia government has implemented new protocol and will table them in the parliament. 15 years jail for humiliating our flags. But what is the criteria?
Now asking; what about burning other people flag? This happen quite frequent in our country though. What say you?
27.09.2013 - What a JOKE; Malaysian
Malaysia has been a great laughing material for the past few years. But lately it has become even funnier than before. I am not talking this with a stand on any political point of view or be sided to any parties. But more to six sense and common sense.
Altantuya, a purchase of sub marine case already become a topic globally; I don't think anyone of us can easily obtain C4 except the government agent; so who did the bombing; even the stupid 1 knows who. The one convicted the crime of Altantuya assassination was released months back and the case is just closed without further trial. We call it "MATI BUTA". The assassinator was right! People tend to forget and forgive when time flies. This is Malaysian!
Cheating in the General Election was another laughing material; I would say a history of mankind in Malaysia. A sudden black out during vote counting and introduction of ballot boxes was 1 of the best magic shows ever heard throughout our lives. Everyone knows including other countries political team and NGOs but nothing can be done except making a hidden laughing 'congratulation' speech.
Another 1; which is very stupidly done. Malaysian Government didn't increase the petrol price; the petrol price increase was due to reduction of government petrol subsidy. The government stress again that the petrol price is not increased but government have to reduce the subsidy. Am laughing again.
The government also thought that the Citizens are still stupid or more known to them as "BODOH"; they publicly announced that petrol RON97 is charged at market price without government subsidy at MYR2.70/liter. For RON95 the government decided to increase the petrol price by slicing off (a little) subsidy to MYR2.10/liter. To make the story more exciting; the government says they are still subsidizing the RON95 at MYR0.63/liter. That means, the total market price for RON95 = MYR2.10 + MYR0.63 = MYR2.73/Liter. The funny part is, how could RON95 more expensive than RON97? Well, because the citizen has raised their questions; the government decided to increase MYR0.15/liter to MYR2.85/liter for RON97.
Next; the national account audit done found out that there are excessive expenditure in the government body. Purchase of each items such as hospital bed, government car, etc. was found above the market value approx. 100%. Now where the money goes? even the BODOH also know.
Another 1; National service. I call this COPY CAT. Looking at how Singapore and Taiwan run this program, the Malaysian government decided to implement the similar program to all the secondary school leavers; I am not sure what is the main objective of this program but I know this is absolutely copy-cat. For other countries; we know that they are hoping the teenagers / adults are well trained to prepared for battle just in case if there are any threat to their country. At the same time, it will discipline the teenager and strengthen their ability in all aspects. But to us, what did we get? Killing cases, mat rempit and worst of all rape cases in the camp. I don't think any of us can remember this.
The are many more laughing materials in our country but the best of all; which I think best of the best; the government is worried and scare of the dead Communist Leader ashes. Let me put it simple; what ever happened in the past the government appeal to the Rakyat to forgive and forget (yes they waited for us to forget before they make the move). If United States remember how Tun Mahathir shoot them badly back then and keeping grudges like how our current did to Chin Peng, I wonder how are we going to meet the forth coming OBAMA. Is it with artillery or C4? Nah joking not really matter because I am just making assumption. Whatever Chin Peng did in the past was not being evaluated. When he fought the Japanese and British, where are the other Malaysian? hiding at home or making good friend with the enemy? Every country has their own history. They don't choose the history; it happened and everyone respect it as it is. If the government collapse; then be it. When they fought for victory; everyone feel proud of it. But how do we got our victory? Go back to your Sejarah book and read it all over again. You know!
The invasion of Sulu at was not classified as terrorist; the terrorist that bomb hotels in Indonesia was welcomed home because he did not bomb Malaysian (so Malaysia actually praise this terrorist) but when Chin Peng trying to return to Malaysia as 'Ashes' without soul, The Malaysian Government says NO. Is that means, the Malaysian government scare of dead person but not the terrorist that trying to invade Malaysia? I was told that the police jokers was deployed to secure the Penang airport and scrutinize all luggage and bags from Thailand to prevent smuggling of Chin Peng's ashes. Let me put that more simple; the government is more concern about the ashes than guns? what a laughing materials.
There are many more things that happen in our BOLEH land similarly as other country too. But if the government declared the country as democracy, why is the government keep arresting people that condemn the government and convict them as a 'national security threat'? I think 'democrazy' would be best describe us than democracy. Ah... too many issues to be brought up but will that change anything? no! why? because, Malaysian tend to forget things easily when time passed. IN other words, Malaysian are very forgetful and BODOH.
Something to think about; do you think PKR will do good if they take over the country? THINK! the PKR leader too an EX UMNO deputy president.

24.09.2013 - Yes what more you want the Chinese to do???
Very good article received from a FREN.
Yes what more you want the Chinese to do???
A Foreigner Comments on Malaysia
This is a very well written article that we should be read by all. Comments from a foreign writer Bryant on Mahathir's article: Kaki dalam Kasut where he says the Chinese are the real masters of Malaysia.
This article was written without fear or favor, and it is up to us to... digest individually the truth of the matter, especially for all Malaysians (irrespective of race, color, creed or religion).
To: The highly respected Tun Mahathir,
China is coming up, India is coming up, Vietnam is coming up and now even Russia is on the rise. In this flat world that is all wired up and regardless whether we are Malaysian Malay, Chinese or Indian, and if Malaysia does not progress, all of us would become history of this country! Without the Malay, Chinese could not do well in the country and without the Chinese, Malay would not do well. Both have to work together to bring up Malaysia and mitigate the ascute impact that is being brought about by the globalization.
For me, a true leader is someone who has the foresight that not only focus on one particular group in the country but take care of the future of everyone. A good leader is someone who knows what is the biggest threat the country is facing and direct the people to fight off the threat. A leader is also someone who is impartial that has the ability to promote harmony in the country for a long period of time.
UMNO is a political loser that leads the country to nowhere. They do not understand what is going on in the outside world. They have no clue where Malaysia will be in the next 30 years. With the 3 new superpowers, i.e India , China and Russia standing tall and high together with the USA and the European Union, they do not know what kind of world it would be and how Malaysia is going to compete and share the ever smaller slice of cake of the world economy. They only know how to get the Malays to fight with other Non-Malays on tiny issues within Malaysia , while the races know jolly well that the issues they are fighting are trivial and is totally self-satisfying.
UMNO does not give a damn to how the poor Malays are going to live in the future and they do not care about the real benefits of the poor Malays. They only want the votes from them. The NEP is a good evidence on how they benefit the cronies, instead of the poor Malays. Despite all their despicable acts they are still in the power.
The highly respected Tun,
As you are aware, the Malays control the rights to all the lands and all other natural resources in this country. They control all government institutions, GLC and State owned companies. The Malays dominate the lawmaking process in Malaysia ; The Malays control the decision making process in formulating the economy policies. The Malays own the largest national assets and the Malays are given shares in the public listed companies for free. The Malays have also been given all kind of priorities when it comes to buying properties, awarding of public contracts, tertiary education opportunities, awarding of scholarships and even getting a job in government departments.
With all these privileges and rights enjoyed by the Malays, you are saying nothing has been done enough to help the Malays to catch up with other races mainly the Chinese. Then what else should Malaysia do to satisfy the Malays? Did the Chinese seize or rob anything away from the Malays or was all their wealth, a result of their hard work? If it is all due to their hard work, why do you say it is unfair? I don't quite get your point here.
May I humbly ask you what do you expect the Chinese to do if your so-called NEP did not achieve the desired result? Would the Malays be happy if the ethnic Chinese in this country do any of the followings:
- surrender their assets and hard earned money to the Malays unconditionally
- not to engage in any business activities;
- not to score As in all sort of examinations;
- not to make money that is more than the Malays are earning;
- not to advance to higher education; or
- renounce their citizenships and go back to China or migrate to some other countries?
I am a foreigner but I am surprised that your intention is to divide your own country. I think you are mainly targeting the Chinese.
Frankly, tell us, what do you expect the Chinese to do in order to achieve what is so called equality" meant by you?
Tun, after all these criticism you have against the present government, I feel that you are starting to loose your rationality on your arguments. You have run out of good reasons to convince us. I guess it could be due to your accumulating jealousy of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, your former counterpart in Singapore .
But reality is always hard to accept. No matter how, you have to accept the fact that he is regarded the Father of Singapore but you are not regarded the Father of Malaysia; you have to accept the fact that Mr Lee is able to influence the government of Singapore until the day he dies but you have not been able to influence the government from the moment you stepped down as PM.
You must also accept the fact that he is still very popular on the world stage and a leader respected by many but you are not quite. Because of these jealousies, you are starting to accumulate imbalances in yourself that lead you to embark on a series of action to attack
your successors. It is very obvious that you are not happy when your successors are more popular than you. Is there any good of doing that? What is your intention? Can't you take it easy?
During your time, you criticized most of the developed countries especially the Western Countries out of jealousy and after stepping down as PM you criticize every single soul remaining in the cabinet for not listening to you. When will you ever stop criticizing any people? Can't you respect the decision of others?
Back to your recent blog, is there anything wrong with the Chinese in this country? Did they seize or rob the money away from the Malays? Did they have the ability to come out with any policies to marginalize the Malays? Did they dominate the lawmaking process of this country?
Did they formulate the economy policies in this country? Did they control the government departments in this country? Did they control the state owned companies and GLC in this country? Did they control the country's largest oil companies and banks?
You know the answer right?
Malays are the one who dominate the lawmaking process of this country; Malays are the one that formulate the economy policies in this country that favors the Malays. Malays are the ones that control the government departments, state owned companies and GLC. Malays are the one that control the funds in this country. Malays are also the ones that control the largest oil companies and banking industry in this country. With all these rights enjoyed by the Malays, what else do you want the Chinese to do? Surrender their houses and savings and their wealth that they earned with their hardwork to the Malays? Or ask all the Chinese to renounce their citizenship and go back to China?
Have you ever thought of the fact after 30 years of implementing NEP, why it does not achieve the desired result? Or it does achieve but being denied.
Under the NEP there are a series of policies that favors the Malays.
If with all these policies, it still does not give the Malays what they want, what else do you want the Chinese to do? Is the Chinese to be blamed because they are too hard working? Or the Malays to be blamed because they do not treasure the opportunities given?
You know very well the NEP has been misused and it only benefits the cronies. So if you have designed NEP to only benefits the cronies, please don't say it is the problem of Chinese that NEP does not achieve its result. It has nothing to do with the Chinese but NEP and the Malay themselves.
This is a globalized world, Chinese and Malays should not be fighting against each other because Malaysia is competing with other countries.
China used to be backward and lagging behind Malaysia but now they have caught up and have even surpassed Malaysia . Can we ask them to slow down their development? If they refuse to listen, can we make a complaint to the United Nations that China is developing too fast and
this is very unfair to Malaysia , which adapts a more passive approach? Who gives you the right to prevent others from progressing?
Who do you think you are? This is a flat world (Obviously Tun did not read the book named "The World is Flat"). Don't be so narrow minded to only focus on the Chinese or Malay in Malaysia . We should now look at the world as a flat world. If Malaysia does not progress, no matter we are Malays or Chinese, we would be extinct one day!
Have a God-blessed day.
Perhaps one of the most humorous decision they made was to revert to Malay in the teaching of mathematics and science because there is insufficient teachers to teach the subjects in English. Why must they destroy the use of English in education over the last 35 years to the extend that they can't even find teachers for the subject. It can only be pure arrogance. Even China is adopting the use of English in their education system.

04.09.2013 - 20 cent hike on Petrol RON95; What say you?
During the General Election, everyone of us aware that; the large sum of money used to buy voters, preparing for the winning, setting up the stations and planning the cheats is going to be claimed soon, just the matter of time. Even the silly 1 knows where and how the government is going to claim them back. E.g. Government Sales Tax, Service Tax and Petrol Price hike.
4 months past; everyone is waiting for the real to happen. I still remember the slogan used by the federal "Janji Ditepati" / Fulfilling the promises. And now they are fulfilling their promises; i.e. killing the citizen. What really makes me feel disappointed is, the government has promised that there will be no petrol price increment before the election. Now, they claimed that there is no increment of petrol price but reduction of government subsidies on petrol. What kind of bullshit it is? RON97 in my country is charged at 2.70 per litre and now with the increased of RON95, i.e. 2.10 per litre. According to this joker, the government is still paying for the subsidies of 63 cent for RON95, i.e. 2.10 + 0.63 = 2.73 per litre. Is that call cheating or what? RON97 = 2.70 and RON95 = 2.73? Silliest thing I ever come across. RON97 is more expensive than RON95? Let's be stupid and accept them. In fact there is nothing much we can do except listen, listen, listen and pay, pay and pay.
Now, what we are more concern of is, will other remaining items including necessity items increased too? This is what happen in the past. Petrol increase 20cents, other items increased 10 cents. When petrol price dropped, other items price remains. When petrol price increase again, other items increases too. So, when will the 'other items' price dropping? That shows how our government handle such situation. Lack of responsibility and being too selfish. When they started the BR1M; i.e. RM500; they call it an award to the citizen; but we call it 'government returning our money'; I have strong feeling that this will surely be collected back soon. In a month, I uses approx. 180 litre of petrol. In a year that will be approx. 2160 litre. If we count the cost I have to fork out for my petrol at 1.90 that will be 4104 Ringgit per year. If that is based on the new rate, that will be 4536 Ringgit per year. So I have to fork out additional 432 ringgit; not counting on other items that follows the petrol price hike. So, in return, we are actually spending more than what the BR1M returns. Can you ever imagine for those trucking company, where fuel is purely their raw materials to run the business, how are they going to survive? This is where the transportation cost will increase, follow by the goods and reaches to the consumer.
Question is, why can't PETRONAS support the subsidies? we have good grade fuel resources in our country. With the sales / profit from the natural resources from the soil, where are those money goes? what project they are talking about? Why don't they contra the subsidies with the profit gain from the resources? Aren't they feed themselves enough?
Now, the citizen, what have you all did? what is your response? Let me put it simple, everyone is mad, disappointed and angry. For those who sell their vote for the federal government during the election, well, thank you so much for making the price keep on going up. For those that feeling unfair and dissatisfied, don't worry you will get used to it soon and continue to pay the large sum of money for some items that is not worth the price for the sake of surviving. No one go to the street, no one make police report, no one approach the consumer association, no one boycotting, etc. just throw out and shout out loud in the internet and after days, everything go back to normal. That's why the government continues to implement things that benefits them only and let the citizen suffers. Because even they agitate the citizen, they will not take it that long. Just the matter of time the citizen will rest in peace and continue to serve the government by feeding them fat and bulging. Every senior citizen that I met, says; don't make a mess, don't create problem otherwise the police / government will catch you and put you in jail. Sound like my father in old days. Don't be naughty, otherwise I will cane you.
I am not condemning the citizen or myself or the government but this is the truth in my point of view. The one that increase the price uses expensive cars, living in huge bungalows, owned lands and oversea houses, plenty cash in oversea bank, killing people, etc. What do we get after all?
Yes we have to put a stop but with this kind of mentality (I mean the citizen) it will be just a dream after all. What the citizen know is they are getting 500 Ringgit a year and making a slight noises is sufficient because they are afraid of the dirty government that can kill them or catch them with a framed allegation.

03.09.2013 - Sensitive Person is not nice to mix with.
Do you agree that that talking to a sensitive person is a waste of time? I realised that it is so difficult to deal with someone that is extremely sensitive; especially woman. They can even take jokes as serious as it is and throw their long face to you while you laugh out loud. To them it is a humiliation. I have 1 in my house. The concept she applied to herself is exactly same as what I mentioned above. Worsen the case, she can joke with you the harsh way but expect no such in return. I am known as 1 rude joker that makes people laugh but no intention of hurting people. No doubt some of the words that spill out from my mouth may hurt them but in the end, I am just cracking a joke with them and make fun of myself. It works well with guys but not ladies especially. So, the only way to get along with woman during the conversation is sit, quiet, talk soft, listen and laugh when they make stupid jokes. Pretending it is funny. Worsen is no matter how harsh they put it in, you will still have to smile and swallow them deeply.
Question is how am I going to survive with this life? I love jokes and making fun of each other, creating a topic to talk and condemning others. Although I knew this is not good to talk people's back but as long it makes either of us laugh means it is worth to talk about. But of course not to the extend of cursing or making a big mess with others.
I am just too tired of talking nowadays. The only thing I knew now is to make peace in the family and keeping quiet. Should it be right or wrong, silence is golden.

01.09.2013 - Chicken and Duck Talk
I keep thinking how these foreign workers communicate to their employers? It was Saturday; and as what I mentioned earlier, I was asked to find the soy sauce located somewhere Permatang Pauh, which we have been using since we were young. Upon my arrival, the home look factory was quiet. I knew someone would be inside, just that I need to try harder to get them response. This time, 1 male workers believed to be from Nepal approached me. He doesn't sound like seller but more likely an illegal workers that looks afraid of my presence. I speak to him in local dialect, in this case, Bahasa hoping that he can understand them. Well, in my country commonly Bahasa is the easiest language to learn. So, he replied with his head shaking up and down. So I assumed he understand what I am trying to say. Once I entered, I showed him photos I captured with my phone, at home before I leave the house. He took me to the tray and asked me, how many bottles I am looking into. So I said 6 bottles of soy sauce, 1 sweet sour plum sauce and 1 fermented grind soy bean paste. They are packed into the transparent yellow plastic bags. Both satisfied with the order. So, I asked, how much. He smile at me and shows me the price printed on each bottle. I said, yes I know but how much in total. He smile and finger counting the items in the bag. I waited and impatiently draw out my hand phone and start to sum up the cost instead of waiting for his reply. Total = 47.90; so I pay him 50.00, in which there should be a balance of 2.10 to be returned to me. I made it clear for him that he needs to return 2.10 to me. So he node his head and went straight to the office which is approx. 10 feet away. I guess he must be looking for small change. So, 10 minutes past and yet he have yet to return the balance. I started to sense something wrong with him. My helmet and thick jacket that I still put on started to cause sweat on me. I remove them and walk slowly toward the office. What really surprises me is, he is looking at the calculator, pressing it again and again (not sure what he is counting) while the other hand is holding my 50 dollar note. I entered the office and asked him what is he doing. He smiles and continue to look at the calculator seriously. I cannot imagine what is he doing. It is Saturday and the place I visited is not a sales office. There is no one there except him and what keep him busy with the calculator. I asked him what's wrong and he again smile. Loosing patient, I calculate the total sum that I need to pay using his calculator and what really make me more mad is, he hand me 20 dollar as a return. I pull him out with his calculator and show him what I have taken. I recount them using 1 by 1 bottle to make him understand. Once done, I entered the balance to be returned; 2.1 in the calculator to make them visible rather then talking to him in which I have concern he knew what I am talking. I started to use hand sign pointing the 2.1 in the calculator and pointed back to me to illustrate that he need to return me that amount. But, again he handed me the 20 dollar notes and wave his hand hinting me to take the goods without further action. Seriously if this is other purchaser, I bet they take it and leave. Well, not me because I've been raised not to cheat people. So to make things more easy, I grabbed his hand and pull 10 dollar note, but again he pass me another 1 dollar to sum it 20 dollar. So, to make things easier, I took out 1 of the item, assume he return me 10 dollar and exchange with another 3 dollars. That means, I paid him total of 43 for 43.90 worth items. I was in the plan to pass him 43 dollar but unfortunately I have only 3 dollars in loose. What really make me laugh is he looks happy with the deal and wave good bye. Before that he hand me his boss's contact number and smile. It is full of frustration but funny to have this kind of person to deal with. I keep laughing while I riding back home. I cannot imagine if it is other person than me, I bet they will take the 20 dollars exchange and leave with few more bottles of soy sauce. What an idiot boss he has, leaving him behind without any guidance.
01.09.2013 - Sunday my ASS
Sunday should be a great day for a rest. That is what thousand of people says. But my Sunday was a mess. My legs and body started to ache because of the jog. It was 710am in the morning; an unusual time to wake up during the weekend. Mom was almost ready while the rest still on the bed. The first thing I did was yawning, turning on my living hall ceiling fan and then lying straight on the sofa pretending I am awake. I was so tired and sleepy. 730am, I sent mom to our local government clinic for 1st time doctor visit. Mom have been taking heart & high blood medicine for the past 8 years and with the amount we spent on the medicine, we are trying to get them free form the government clinic since am paying for the taxes the equal price of 3 months of my salary. What really disappoint me is the service in the government institution is so fucked up. we waited for almost 4 hours for our turn which is 10 to 15 away from the first 1 that arrived in the clinic. I was told by mom that the doctor is chatting in the room while keeping the patient waiting. Worst of all, we were not given the exact medicine we bought with the reason it is expensive. What a fucking excuse.
After that, I sent mom to the temple again since she has to continue her prayers until late evening since a days before. By the time I reach home, wife and daughter is already waiting. This is when I started off being a maid. Of all these months, my wife is yet to know how to bath a baby. It leave me no choice but to bath my daughter, dress her up and do the rest in the house. I mean cleaning the kitchen, washing my toilet and hanging cloths after got them washed. I was so tiring and sleepy as I got insufficient rest since yesterday. By the time I am done, it is already 2pm. I took my shower and rest on the sofa. Before my eye closed (I am so fucking sleepy) I was asked to look after my daughter as my wife is going for shower. I thought of saying no but there is nothing much I can do. After that, we went out to settle our bills, lunch and then out to the mall to get them cheers. At the same time we dropped by at the afternoon market to buy some vegetables and meats for the week. While waiting for dinner, we rested at the nearest Starbucks and grab a glass of ice mocha.
Think of it, why am I doing things that is not what I wanted? once we finished our steamboat dinner, we return home and that time, it was dark night. Before I can get myself a clean wash, mom called and I have to pick her up. My day didn't just end like this. I wasn't satisfied with my life for the day without having my own sweet time. I tucked everyone in their room resting and spending my own time watching TV for a while and serving net. before I can get myself into my own time, my eye started to hint me how tired it is; I started to see things darky and spinning. Guess that is the alarm clock calling me to sleep. So that is how my day goes.
I keep asking myself, what is life all about? in old days I am doing something for the sake of mom and now it is for the 3 of them. I barely have my own time. Whenever I sacrifices my time for them, will they ever realized them and appreciate it? or they just think that it is my job / responsibility to do so? I am so sick of my life and wishing hard to leave and stay alone.
31.08.2013 - Driver cum Maid
Everyone seems enjoying weekend but to me
it is just another headache day where I have to be a maid and driver. Mom was
away this week for some Taoism prayers and I am fully so called HouseWife. I usually
drive them out for weekend breaks even though I am extremely tired.
A day before, I thought i will have my
wonderful ‘ME’ time. Mom was away for prayers at the temple since morning and
my wife and daughter is scheduled to go back to my in law. I was waiting for
the moment to be alone in the house probably a nap and then full time movies. I
have plenty BlueRay disc that is waiting.
So morning was a little easy. Wife woke up
ahead than me and got the house work done. I was little surprised. I just need
to wipes the appliances that blanketed with dust. Then we went out for
breakfast and then buying fruits, not forgetting for the lunch treats from our
neighbor in conjunction to Hari Raya. Usually I dislike attending such events
but it is not really nice to reject people especially if they come to your
house and invites you sincerely. So, by the time we reach home, mom surprised
me by a call to pick her up for the lunch. I rushed to the temple to pick her
up and rush back to catch up the rest of our neighbor attending the party. It
took us about 30 minutes to eat and then back home. So, initially I though mom
is away and wife is going back to her mom’s house. Now, mom is back home and
wife is about to go back her house. Sound a little disappointed. So when i am
back home from in law’s house, i was asked by mom to buy the regular homemade
soya sauce that we usually bought from. So that keep me moving on the road
again. So instead of having my planned sleep and movie, now I am riding my bike
for 30 minutes to buy her soya sauce. I tell you the story how I speak to the
seller later.
So by the time I am back home, mom was
getting ready to go to temple. Again I was summoned to send her. Looks like my
day is just being a driver. So, since Saturday is my jogging day, I packed my
stuff and send her off to the temple and straight heading to Mengkuang Dam for
jogging.
5.5 km jog is really tiring, especially for
fat man like me. By the time I reached home, I was asked to have my dinner at
in laws. I didn’t even have time to be at home except taking shower. Damn it! That is how I burnt my ME time. What a waste.
Kind of agree when old people says married man is just another miserable life being.
