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.

Black is the color for politics

You are challenging, and have the "guts". But you don't like changes in your life. And once you make a decision, you keep it that way for a long time. This is a definition of black.

If I leaf through my wardrobe I will find a number of blacks. Pants, T-shirts, blouses etc etc etc. I like black. Everyone loves black. A universal color, accepted and welcomed by all.

Clothes designers love to play with black. Nuns and monks choose it for their divine attire. Behind a black backdrop and a dimly lighted stage you could not even see where the black-clad singer was. A black tuxedo and tie for a formal dinner. Middle Eastern women prefer black. The Orthodox Jews wear black. Lawyers wear black. Graduates gowned in black during their convocation. Not forgetting, black is the color for mourning, regardless of race.

I am wearing black today. From my hairband, my blouse, my pants, my stockings and my shoes to my undies. I feel like wearing black today. I have the right to choose the color of my attire today. Nobody dictates what color I should or should not wear.

Well, you will be arrested for wearing black if you are fighting for democratic right in Perak today. A blogger was arrested under Section 4 (1) of the Sedition Act 1948 on Tuesday night for suggesting the public wear black in support of the wresting control of the Perak state government by the Barisan National from the Pakatan Rakyat.

The opposition party won the Perak seats during the recent election. Just because three traitors decided to jump ship, the BN decides the governing right to rule Perak belongs to them. The people of Perak viewed their rights to vote have been ridiculed. Why hold an election when the nation’s decision can be overridden.

Black is a sad color associated with gloominess, uncertainty and instability. This is the state of the Perak government today. Why the hunger for power? Why not peace? And this is politics. Politicians fighting all the while like kindergarten kids. How will the outside world view us? Aiya shame on you, boys.

Respect yourself

Fear in God put you in the right path through life. If you are in fear you will surely tread carefully in whatever you do. You know God is watching from all directions, so you will not do anything to harm the people and the things around you. You shower respect for anything under the sky. In return you show great respect for yourself.

These images came through my mailbox. Whatever it is, these pictures bordered on stupidity. This Caucasian female thought it was really funny and that exhibiting herself is entertaining.

Temples are a place of worship. You respect the deities, their spirits will bless you. You angered them, they will come after you.
