As if..........

I think this must be one peculiar problem in the Great Outback.

When wives need to put husbands into some form of day care, that takes the take and the grog!

G'day!

Absolute Logic Extension

Wow! They really take analogy to the max!

Only in India.

USM Gathering on 26 February 2012

I would like really to thank Bala for his relentless effort to get these friends of ours together.

I know it is not an easy task because I have tried many times to get our friends together and it is really frustrating when the fruits of our labour do not commensurate with the efforts expended.

I wish I could attend as well the next time such an occasion arises.

As I turn 60, I wish everyone all the best and may God give all of us happy healthy lives henceforth.

Amen.

Rosmah Mansor sings

Interesting singing and montages of Najib, Rosmah and the family.

Enjoy.

But it's true,don't you agree?

This one about testing through public examinations is a laugh! It's coming as a half-truth in Malaysia.

This following one is really a revelation.

Malaysian Pensioners,beware!

This is a very grim picture of what can happen to a country when a rogue government lay waste to an economy subjecting its people to hardship for a very long time to come.

The apparent sweet solace to Malaysian pensioners is that pensions come under 'tanggungan' which the government of the day is obligated to pay.

However, like in the case of Greece, I believe when a hair-cut is demanded from every citizen, it will be across the board.

So Malaysian pensioners, beware!

In Deference of the Spirit

Well, if you have ever heard of a more ambivalent argument about the fortifying spirit, here is one and from none but your favourite stateman of yore, Winston.

"If you mean whisky, the devil’s brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean that evil drink that topples men and women from the pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then, my friend, I am opposed to it with every fibre of my being.

"However, if by whisky you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the elixir of life, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean good cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning; if you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to forget life’s great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow; if you mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of pounds each year, that provides tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation, then my friend, I am absolutely, unequivocally in favour of it.

"This is my position, and as always, I refuse to compromise on matters of principle."

You have my vote, hands down!
