More people less share

Alamak! Bfast coming 2moro. Burp he he

I received this SMS at 8.17 pm last night from Yan Lee announcing she has prepared breakfast for us. She is blessed with culinary skills. What she has cooked up this time was Hokkein Mee.

Early in the morning before the others arrived for work, Ivy has dutifully scissored chilli padi to go with the noodles. I squeezed out the belachan chilli from a plastic bag into a small chilli saucer. This will blend very well with the noodles too. The belachan chilli was a leftover from our visit to Sri Siam yesterday to celebrate Yan Lee’s birthday. Just imagine two small saucers of chillis cost RM2.00.

Yan Lee arrived at 8 am. Dona, Ivy and Elaine were in the kitchen microwaving up the noodles. The table were laid up with bowls and cutleries neatly arranged at their respective places. At Dona’s, at Ivy’s, at Suet Ben’s, at Yan Lee’s and Elaine always uses her own serving plate. Dona and Ivy were seated at their places waiting while Elaine was at the microwave oven waiting for the cling sound to announce the noodles are ready to be served.

And I had already toasted my chocolate/banana spread bread for breakfast and eaten them! Thank God, I received this message after I have prepared for my breakfast or would be gatecrashing today’s breakfast.

Anyway, I will always appreciate Yan Lee’s invitation for breakfast. But I am sure if I join them, their shares would be limited.

Give In To Me

She always takes it with a heart of stone
Cause all she does is throw it back to me
I've spent a lifetime looking for someone
Don't try to understand me
Just simply do the things I say

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
Cause I'm on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me woman
Give in to me, give in to me

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you questions why
It seems you get your kicks from hurting me
Don't try to understand me
Because your words just aren't enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Taking me higher
Love is a woman
I don't wanna hear it
Give in to me, give in to me

It's all right
But it's ok, But it's ok
You're always thinking
That you know it's a lie
But it's ok, But it's ok
I'd never find better peace of mine, no

Don't try to tell me
Because your words just aren't enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Taking me higher

Talk to me woman
Love is a
I don't want to hear it
Quench my desire
I'm on fire
Give it to me woman
I don't want to hear it
Tell it to the preacher

Love is a woman
Love is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Love is a feeling
I don't wanna hear it
Quench my desire
Taking me higher
Tell it to the preacher
Satisfy the feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Give in to me woman
Talk to me lady
Cause I'm on fire

What is important and what is not.


Inmates from the Taman Sinar Harapan Instition in Kuala Kubu Baru, Perak.


Most of time we forget where our priority lies. Sometimes we fail to understand the difference between needs and pleasure. This way we made so many mistakes that we could not remedy. Every thing we do we think we are doing it right. We are so absorbed in what we are doing we failed to recognize its flaw. We refused to listen to people around us, thinking we are smarter than them. In the end we failed in the projects we are handling.

RM8million is nothing to some people because it does not belong to them. But to some RM8million can channel help to many helpless people in our country.

We often say ‘many heads are better than one’. By combining our brains together we hope to produce better results. What happen if the brains are thinking of something more rewarding? The result? The surprising headlines in newspapers all the time.

At the front porch is the Malaysia Book of Record scorer: the iconic Liuli Crystal Fountain. At the backyard is the pathetic Horror Home in Kuala Kubu Baru. What is inside the house? Naughty, naughty politicians who need to be educated on what is important and what is not.

Liuli Crystal Fountain

Wow, I am enormously impressed and marvel in awe at the beauty of the Liuli Crystal Fountain at the Pavilion Shopping Centre in Kuala Lumpur.

It costs just a cool RM8million to put those 3 bowls up. Incidentally, it is intricately designed with our national flower, the hibiscus. With the fountain in full function, it is a splendor to watch the cascading water streaming down like a waterfall. The flowing water will keep you cool and fresh if you happened to stand before it. The thunderous falling water will wake you from your sleep so you do not daydream so much.

There is a secondary attraction coming from this tallest fountain which finds its way into the Malaysia Book of Records. It also serves as a wishing well. Follow the example of our Tourism Minister, toss a coin into it and make your wish. Your wish may come true. Of course, you must be sincere and honest about what you will do after your wish is granted.

I am going to toss a coin and make a wish. I wish RM8million will fall into my lap soon. And I will contribute them to the seven Taman Sinar Harapan institutions for the disabled. They really need not only my help but others too. My objective is to provide healthcare, medication, clothing, beds, food and assistance so the residents can have a better life tomorrow.

Of course, I will keep the remaining RM1million. After all I am the one asking for this wish. As to what I will do with it. Wait and see… there are lots of people and places that needs help.

The Democracy Plaque

The Democracy Plaque of the opposition party. Someone who did not like what this plaque stands for destroyed it. You couldn't find it under the raintree anymore. But pieces of it was snapped up by members of the public for its symbolic meaning. This is life. We have to accept what life brings us though we like to wake up every morning and think it is just an uncomfortable dream while actually it is reality. We have to crawl from under our coconut shells and face up to life for the wind is blowing towards another direction.

Batman

Airport Security: What is your name?
Traveller: Batman

Airport Security: Your real name please?
Traveller: Batman

Airport Security: You think you are funny, what is your name?
Traveller: Batman

Airport Security: Ok, your family name?
Traveller: Superman

Airport Security gave the traveller a slap on the face and took him into the detention room.... until they saw the passport .....

The moral is check la before you act. Another thing is don't la give your child trouble by giving him fanciful name you think is fanciful.

The American Idol

The topic under the most discussion at the moment is probably the finale of the American Idol. The Fly-FM DJs were furiously discussing about the ability and the chances of Adam Lambert and Kris Allen winning the American Idol this morning.

The winning song specially written for their performances which Kara proudly announced she co-wrote was not fully and beautifully delivered by the two finalists. Kris sounded beautiful at the start. He sang it so touchingly. You just felt serene, relaxed and comfortable as his voice brought out fond memories of past times. But when he hit the high notes his voice was coarse. He did not manage to bring out the melody of the song during that time. The song was meant for Adam. He delivered it in the style of a slow rock at the beginning. His voice was sharp and you got the feel of it. Excitement and high was how I felt. When it came to the high, he was in a rush with the lyrics. His voice sounded fierce and hurried. You pulled on your brakes and fell back on your cushions and Oh! What happened?

I think if this song is given to Leona Lewis she will give us a good satisfying day. You can just lay back, safe and sound and enjoy wherever the lyrics and music takes you. Let her melodious voice float you blissfully over Neverland in the beginning and when she reaches the high notes we will not jolt to awareness like Kris and Adam did to you. Instead she will gently glide you up the slope, lifting you up high above the mountains and let you absorb the euphoria of height and gently lay you down at the end utterly amazed. This will be the way I image Leona Lewis will sing it, with magnificence.

Kris Allen won the American Idol. He has an arresting voice which will attract a good number of anticipating listeners. As for Adam Lambert, he will also go far with this impressive voice and his theatrical, flamboyant performances.
