PAINFUL

It bothers me a lot to learn that every women whom I knew or dated especially when I was studying in Canada just

  Ignore me

Budget 2014

Increasing govt debts , 55% too high, RM is NOT reserve currency like the greenback, minimise govt debts-  slower exports -  gst  a must though -  willing to pay more for sugar, salt, ron 95 though its hurts - rokok dan booze kasi naik lah

2qtr 13 GDP at 4.3% - prepare for the worst, Imports must reduce significantly

Push ETP.  MAS remain GLC agreed.  predict export will continue to decline --  faster export of Proton Subprime S agreed

TPPA etc remain cautious for the Bumi sovereignty on this Malay Land

Bringing back students from Egypt is waste of tax payers' money. BRIC s economy declining - beware- must be combination of Keynes and Monetarists

Defence - up to date arsenals. Good work at Lahad Datu though a bit late. swap defence arsenals with oil palm maybe

This is a Malay land, don't give too much to the nons (racists ha what about my cab driver relatives in Spore?)

BN is the govt so act like a govt, don't follow idiot 1997/98

General Election 2013

I must congratulate Prime Minister Najib for the BN victory in last Sunday general election. Many people said BN fared worst than 2008 but I said BN fared better in the 2013 general election. Despite not getting two third majority just like 2008, BN only lost three states compared to five in 2008.

Many first time voters voted for the PR. Checked my 1995 diary when I first exercise my right as a voter. On that election day April 25th 1995, I voted Semangat 46 because I hated Anwar Ibrahim who was then UMNO deputy president.

Except for 1999 when I refused to vote , the elections of 2004, 2008 and 2013 I voted BN.

Thank God Anwar Ibrahim is NOT the PM.

VISIT MALAYSIA 2014

Prime Minister Najib launched the Visit Malaysia year 2014 recently. As a Malaysian I welcome my readers to Malaysia to enjoy our different cultures.

I was in Sabah a few months ago. It was my first flight after 22 years. My last flight was from Hong Kong to Subang International Airport Kuala Lumpur on October 15th 1990. The landing at Kota Kinabalu International Airport was a bit rough. Thanks to the gorgeous MAS flight attendants with their smile.

If you are in KK, the first thing that you want to see is  Mount Kinabalu which is the highest mountain in South East Asia. It was nice to see Mount Kinabalu in front of my eyes. But it would be much better if a highway is build from KK to Mount Kinabalu.(Costs $$$$). There should be more hotels at the foothill of Mount Kinabalu too.

I still regard Kota Kinabalu as a small city because I don't see many high rise buildings. The road
system at KK city can be improved further. However the condition at KK International Airport main was terrible. The airport toilet was very dirty and I don't see the janitors anywhere. What a shame. And it was very UNCOMFORTABLE being attended by male flight attendants. Although I don't often fly and I could count the mode flying with MAS, it is to my understanding that MAS cabin crews were voted world's best. I don't understand why but on the way back to KLIA from KKIA there was no female flight attendants in the economy class at all.The landing at KLIA was smooth.

On both flights the aircraft used was Boeing 737-400 i.e. the old version. MAS must buck up because MAS has a name and reputation to protect. Acquiring new aircraft's is a must if MAS is aiming for profits. I let the experts at MAS admin team to ponder the ways to improve MAS internally, spiritually and mentally.MAS flight attendants should have new uniforms.The kebaya type costume can be retained but it will be nicer if she wears a long pant and or a scarf to denote Malaysia as a Muslim nation. (Example Emirates female flight attendants uniforms)

Because the poor me has nothing and I mean nothing. I AM A NOBODY. And I don't know when I will fly again.

Welcome To Malaysia Prince William and Kate

As a Malaysian who uphold my flag the "Jalur Gemilang"  I welcome Prince William and Kate to Malaysia.

May both of you have a memorable stay in Malaysia.

Selamat Datang

Queen's Diamond Jubilee

I was watching Queen Elizabeth 2 on ITV tonight. For a monarch to rule for 60 years is a great achievement. More over the comment that Queen E is the only qualified monarch to change a lorry spark plugs is something to reckon with because not many people knew that Queen E repaired  a lorry when she was a young women.

I always wonder how is it to be a monarch or even a member of a monarch fraternity. One thing for sure, money is no object because royalties are wealthy. They can afford anything that money can buy.Cars,mansions,jewellery,stocks and bonds, exotic holidays to name a few. For instance the Queen would just say that she wants to visit the A Famosa Fort in Melaka built by the Portuguese and the visit will be arranged diplomatically. 

Now

Imagine a commoner like me. Since I was small my parents have taught me not to talk to strangers while the late Diana encouraged her two boys to constantly talk to strangers. Since 1991 I have been trying to find ways to continue my studies at Edwards School of Business at University of Saskatchewan Canada but to no avail.

If I am a monarch, I would just mention the lady I am interested to marry and no one would dare cut in my way. She will be my queen for life.

Well, sometimes it is good to dream

Merry Christmas

To all  readers

Merry Christmas and  Happy New Year 2012

May 2012 be the year of joy and happiness to us all.

Malay Wedding

Contrary to the western tradition, malay wedding is a four step system. They are merisik (asking ceremony), bertunang (engagement), akad nikah (the vow ceremony) and bersanding (where both the bride and her groom sit on the bridal couch)

Merisik
The man would ask his parents or his uncle to go and see the parents of the women he is interested to marry. A simple ring is given to the women's family. If the women accepts the ring it means the women has agreed to marry the man. If the women refuse to accept the man, the ring will be returned to the man's family.

Bertunang
The man would send his family to the bride's house to present her with the engagement ring and other gifts.

BUT nowadays people tend to merge the merisik and the bertunang ceremonies to save costs especially if the bride's and groom's hometown are far apart.

Akad Nikah
This is the day where the marriage vows take place. The ceremony is such that the groom would shake hand with the father of the bride or the Imam (the mosque head) to denote that the women is being married to the man. Then a wedding ring and mas kahwin is presented to the bride by the groom. Nowadays the mas kahwin is mainly in the form of money though it may be just a simple present that the groom must give to his bride. This is the ceremony where the bride and her groom is announced as husband and wife BUT there is no kissing ceremony like the western world.

Bersanding
According to Islam after the akad nikah both bride and groom are permitted to have sex and both man and women are presented with their individual responsibilities. But the Malays prefer the bersanding ceremony whereby both bride and groom would sit on a couch resembling the throne of a king. This is where it is made known to the whole world that they are married. Then there would be the "makan beradab" whereby both bride and groom eat with their parents and their in laws.

God willing inshaalah
