Another song for my wedding ??? i think..
and the lyrics...
Since I still appreciate you,
Let's find love while we may.
Because I know I'll hate you
When you are old and gray.
So say you love me here and now,
I'll make the most of that.
Say you love and trust me,
For I know you'll disgust me
When you're old and getting fat.
An awful debility,
A lessened utility,
A loss of mobility
Is a strong possibility.
In all probability
I'll lose my virility
And you your fertility
And desirability,
And this liability
Of total sterility
Will lead to hostility
And a sense of futility,
So let's act with agility
While we still have facility,
For we'll soon reach senility
And lose the ability.
Your teeth will start to go, dear,
Your waist will start to spread.
In twenty years or so, dear,
I'll wish that you were dead.
I'll never love you then at all
The way I do today.
So please remember,
When I leave in December,
I told you so in May.
more to come..pure genius
Song for my wedding..i think ??

And now to the love song. I'm sure you're familiar with love songs on the order of He's Just My Bill, my man, my Joe, my Max, and so on where the girl who sings them tells you that, although the man she loves is anti-social, alcoholic, physically repulsive, or just plain unsanitary, nevertheless she is his because he is hers, or something like that. But as far as I know there has never been a popular song from the analogous male point of view, that is to say, of a man who finds himself in love with, or in this case married to, a girl who has nothing whatsoever to recommend her. I have attempted to fill this need. The song is called She's My Girl.
Sharks gotta swim, and bats gotta fly,
I gotta love one woman till I die.
To Ed or Dick or Bob
She may be just a slob,
But to me, well,
She's my girl.
In winter the bedroom is one large ice cube,
And she squeezes the toothpaste from the middle of the tube.
Her hairs in the sink
Have driven me to drink,
But she's my girl, she's my girl, she's my girl,
And I love her.
The girl that I lament for,
The girl my money's spent for,
The girl my back is bent for,
The girl I owe the rent for,
The girl I gave up Lent for
Is the girl that heaven meant for me.
So though for breakfast she makes coffee that tastes like shampoo,
I come home for dinner and get peanut butter stew,
Or if I'm in luck,
It's broiled hockey puck,
But, oh well, what the hell,
She's my girl,
And I love her.

Move...Change...Morph...Revolute...
I am a victim of the recent property craze, where prices of anything related to property went skyrocket. Owners chanced upon this to raise rental, sell their place hoping to catch a windfall. This is further aggrevated with the kiasuim trait here. Rentals easily skyrocketted 40% - 50%. Prices of HDB, Condominiums too have easily appreciated 50%- 100%. And with so many un-controlled enblocs, the situation has turn against the tenants and prospective property buyers.
Enblocs creates a property scare, where the basic supply and demand theory applies.
Supply becomes lesser, demand increases, thus elevate the price of the property be it rental or purchase.
Its also create a fear amongst those non-property owners. The fear of no place to stay, so its creates a dog beat dog scenario where the richer you are, you will try to bid higher for a place you want leaving the poorer souls behind.
Ya, goverment says everything is under controlled, there are many flats available. Sure...they are all in sub-urbia country. Places we worked, study are all centralised. They plan it that way. As a result, the poorer folks have to travel further, pay more for transportation to get to place they want. Not to mention the price increase in transportation.
Well, everyone is for himself. The rich wanna get richer, while the poor tries to make a living. This is a cynical world we are living in.
As for, I got to move to more sub-urbia, away from the my current sub-urbia. Cos everytime I mention where I stay, people gasped and say " wah...so far".
Well, my tarot and numerology readings is asking me to take a breather and be a hermit to reflect on life. Maybe I will do just that. Zen-ning..

2.0 ...
I am almost finish upgrading myself from 1.0 to 2.0. Check my status, approx 2.0.
Got to keep up. Everything is 2.0 now or changing. From macroeconomies to tiny microchips, everything in the world is constantly changing.
from the days of microsoft DOS to Todays Vista.
from walkman to MP3 players.
from a Communist backward closed country to one of the fastest growing Super economy.
harddisk as big as dinner plates now is as small as a 50 cents coin.
all these happened since I was born.
However, myself..version 1.0 till...now...only garnered some achievements to roll out version 1.7.
Life is now getting a bit bored, and I am getting complacent.
Before that, I was..
lacking of direction
losing focus
living a nocturnal lifestyle
eating furiously
So, I decided to change.
lose weight
manage my health
focus on life priorities
different job scope
eat proper
I am delighted , I am happy to say I am achieving 2.0.
*System need to be reboot to complete installation

The Good, The Bad and the Naughty
All my life I am trying to balance within myself, the good, the bad and the naughty. I guess these are the ingredients of my consience and character.
Out from the womb, everyone would say that babies are pure, and innocent. Guess I am.
Whats the ideal balance , I always wonder. The naughtiness in me keeps asking for more allocation while the good is resisting and the bad is slowing edging up the pie.
In my world, there is no 100% do-gooder. Everyone to me is almost incentive driven, be it tangible or intangible.
Whats your ideal balance?

Is it Racism....ketuanan Melayu
in da mood of seriousness...warning..serious post ahead.
Racism..a big troubling issue that have taunted us since the earlist of the existence of humankind (homo-sapiens).
Apart from religion, I can safely proclaim its the next cause of war.
I am not sure I am a racist or not. I do feel uncomfortable with certain races and sometimes loathe them because of their differences in thinking, dressing, smell, lifestyle. Having said that, aren't we all. However, being humane, we ought to be more tolerant and understanding.
BUT ...I don't think I am racist. I might make fun of their certain uniqueness, enjoyed comedians like Russel Peters, Carlos Mencia, etc...making jokes about races, but I don't think neither I nor them are racist. We just simply laughed about our own differences and be light-hearted about it.
Thats what makes us as humans special and colourful...variety.
Carlos Mencia said something that I got agree. Racist are people who thinks their race is more superior than others. These are the oppressors, the sparks of conflicts, slavemasters, marginalizers...etc. So, Let me tell those who in Malaysia who advocates "ketuanan melayu" (Malay Supremacy), you are racist. Again, I am not against Malay race. I have Malay friends and liked their qualities. Race just differentiated us culturally, behaviourally, mentally and our character. Not because your race have the first sultanate, one is entitled to supremacy forever. It doesn't make sense. Leaders should earn respect from the people through their qualities, not by rights and certainly not by race.
Practising democracy...who are you voting for ? Most people do not know the impact of their votes. Heck..most people who do not know what are their rights. Don't they know the law is to protect the Rich...errmm..yeah..only the rich can afford their rights to be protected.
Marginalized Malaysians should ask themselves, what has the country provided for you ? Is there a future you stay in this country ? Will you want your kids to be educated here ?
Our fathers have provided much for the country. We pay the same taxes and sometimes more. We contribute similarly to the economy. why are we marginalized ? 50 years already, don't you think we are here to stay and be the same.
and I quote someone "I'm a Malaysian, born smart ,but education ruined me."
