Gwen in Malaysia... for real?

Would you seriously think that the likes and looks of this gorgeous woman would turn the average Malaysian guy into a sexual predator hunting for girls to have his way with?

Or would her good looks make the highly cultural girls here become destroyed?

Can we also say that we appreciate God's beautiful creations and vocal talents that God has given certain people?

I have read this many times in books and many people would agree; the mind controls what we do. If you think negative, you will end negative and vice-versa.

Simply by looking at the way someone appears is not going to do much to entice someone to go out and rape. It is all in the mind if that person who has strong faith and wisdom to control your actions. Knowledge is powerful but wisdom is powerful in knowing what to do with knowledge.

If you are trying to say that your mind can be so easily influenced by appearance, then I feel it would be advisable to look into the values that you believe in.

In regards to seeing an internationally acclaimed artist present in your homeland, that would be a big thing and it would deffinitely be appreciated. Would she be willing to come back again?

But can we control her? Is she a citizen, a follower of the same faith, does she believe in the values or are we trying to force her to follow our values?

The unique thing about the world is that everyone is different for so many reasons. It should be something we should accept and respect. No point making others follow-us just because we say so. Each person should have their own opinion on what they want to get the most out of life.

Who to blame?

Recalling the fatal bus tragedy killing 20 innocent lives.
I dun normally write this kinda things but this news has certainly touched me.

Talk a little bit about how things are run over here is wrong and is considered sensitive.

But when tragedies like this happen, who do we look at?

Deffinitely the driver is not fit to drive. But the bus company could not care less and is more concerned about profiting. Who controls the bus companies in Malaysia?

What saddens me is that innocent lives of Malaysians lost because of a human error. U think about it; someones father, mother, brother, sister, wife, husband, child, friend etc. , lost because of a mistake by someone. Lives parished just like that. The passengers (now victims) who had plans to return home to loved ones and spend good times together, now shattered forever by carelessness. NOTHING anyone can do for the victims families as compensation for what has happened. Life is just priceless!

If indeed the bus had been inspected thoroughly in the right manner and abiding by the rules and policies of the local authorities, it would be clear it was human error.

Deffinitely the steps taken in the past to eliminate such catastrophies is not working. Let's get up and brain-storn how we can solve this before it becomes an even worse national tragedy in the near future, God forbid.


Human error = driver error = unfit = 13 summons and 2 arrest warranties!

Solution: Interlink each and every citizens personal information with records of goverment agencies in one database. For an IT savvy nation, it is not a problem. We talk so much about how good we are, well it's time to put our talents to good use. I mean we have high end identity cards. Why cant the data be linked and incorporated together. Come on... just a little more work. Why not outsourcing if it is too hard to create something like this? Atleast it will be of bennefit and of good use back to the government.

On a more spiritual note, I pray that the lives lost will rest in peace and will find eternal peace in God's kingdom.
Not forgetting the lives of the families impacted by this gruesome human massacre.

An escappe to KL

It was Friday and I finalized a few important matters with Mandy and Melody. Left for home to pack up to go to KL on a Sat morning. Gave a call to a friend Chris to tell her I'll becoming to hang-out with her and Damian on a Sat. I bet ur sis will be so jealous! Lol!

Supposedly to wake up at 3.45 am but in the end woke up at 7.30 am thanks to my new pillow.

Left at 9 a.m. and reach Subang at around 1 pm. It was a good drive in the Volvo considering after being serviced.

Hanged out at my bro place. My bro and nephew went out for my nephew's friends bday. I was so bored at home. Dad wanted me to download the guy who recreated his own Negaraku, hence, did it. Oh dad transfered pics of his Euro trip with mom to my laptop. He gave me a run down on his trip.

Bro came back late that day and went to Carrefour. Came home to makan.

Left for my outing with Chris and Damian. Went to Starbucks at Taipan to test my wireless but unfortunately no connection to server that day. We wondering wat else can do. So went to Club 7 to play pool with Damian over some beers while Chris watched. Sent them home and returned back to my bro place to come online here.

Sunday would be time spent with family. Visiting my couz at TTDI and maybe PJ.

Monday morning have to wake up early for my sis convo. It should be over around 1 p.m. Dad got arrangements for party at bro place.

Tuesday, off back to Penang. Dad kinda home-sick and talking about home. Both a bit jet-lag.

The family doctor...

I was ill again today. Went to Dr Bala's in Pulau Tikus opposite 7 E.

Waited for a stinking 1 hour for the dude to come. Was kinda crowded with ppl sneezing and coughing.

My fever went up and felt really uncomfortable. Went in for the check-up and came out ensuring that it was paid by the company. :P

Crossed of to the car where I met my family doctor just about to close his clinic. I said hie and we started to talk about the past when I was younger, fatter and you could say a boy. Haha!

This dude is so relaxed and easy to talk to. He has aged obviously but still remembers the family. Actually they still go to him. But he can remember where I was missing for the past 6 years.

The good thing I learnt from him is his positive attitude and always kind. One of the best doctors I've met so far compared to that grumpy arse from Burmah C.

By the way, the nice doctor is Dr Teong from Klinik Teong Burmah Road.
