Some Great Shots!

Here are some great shots.

The one with the cat between the lemurs is real funny. I think it is photo-shopped.

The macho frog can promote California Fitness for Jackie Chan, don't you think?

It's unfair

Life's so unfair for so many people. What happens if you have mortgaged your future - after having made all the calculations and carefully considered all the risks - only to have your means to redeem it taken away?

Our domestic help from Cambodia had arrived just 3 weeks ago, and we have to send her back straightaway. She failed her medical. She's diabetic. Eap, that's her name, must have gone into debt to come to Malaysia and I don't know how she's going to repay that.

And I can only imagine the emotions involved in her first deciding to bet 2 years of her life on a chance for a better future, and then finding that she has lost even before she's begun. What's infuriating is that Eap could have been so easily spared this trauma. It is horribly irresponsible of the employment agency in Phnom Penh to be so negligent in its health-screening process.

First and Second Reunion Dinners of the Social Science Class of 1975

The USM Class of 75 had two dinner gatherings.

The first one was held at the Kelana Seafood Centre in Petaling Jaya on 14 January 2006. Some 30 ex graduates plus 20 guests including our past lecturers attended the function. This was the first time, many of us met our ex-graduate friends since the Convocation at Dewan Sri Pinang in 1975.

I was fortunate to meet friends like Tan Ah Kew,Richard, Kenneth and Rani as well as my good friend Param who is a lawyer today in Prai. I also met Magandram before he migrated to New Zealand. Sheila looked good and has her own law practice and so did Kah Cheng. Sakinah looked just like she was in  USM in 1975. There was hardly any changes in her. Hasnah Rohani was as bubbly as usual.

Before the night was over, we have one fierce kara-oke session.

There was another dinner meet, possibly in 2008. It was held at the Lake Club in Kuala Lumpur.

The crowd was smaller this time and attracted  mostly the Klang Valley crowd. I was fortunate to meet a very prosperous looking Lim Hoon Seng at this dinner-meet.

There was no dinner gathering in 2009.

Anyone who has photographs of this two dinners are cordially invited to send me those photos for blogging or to blog them in themselves.

It's great to go down memory lane!

For Those Who Do not Believe in God

In   Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days.  He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days.  The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge.  After listening to  the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,"Case dismissed!"

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case?  The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others.  The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and  Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays.."

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.."

The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'  Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."
   
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
 

This Speech Stunned the World!

This is the speech that silenced the world for 5 minutes.



Then at 12 years old, this girl Severn Suzuki-Cullis spoke at a United Nations meeting and stunned the world.

It is still being heralded as one of the most impressive speech of all times.

In case you’re wondering what she’s up to nowadays, she graduated from Yale in 2002, and now she’s an environmental activist, and even had her own show for children on Discovery.

Best Irish Joke in 2009

This was a great joke. It was voted the best Irish joke in 2009.

Let's have some fun during the Chinese New Year then.

So here goes.........

"John O’Reilly hoisted his beer and said, ‘Here’s to spending the rest of me
life, between the legs of me wife!’

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, ‘I won the prize for the Best toast of the night.’

She said, ‘Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?’

John said, ‘Here’s to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife.’

‘Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!’ Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John’s drinking buddies on the street corner.

The man chuckled leeringly and said, ‘John won the prize the other night at
the pub with a toast about you, Mary.’

She said, ‘Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he’s only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.’ "
