JUST TOO TIRED....


I am just too tired to read the newspaper nowadays, especially news with political propaganda elements. The present Govt need to realise that the rakyat are turning deaf ears to whatever calls the Govt is making to win the votes of Permatang Pauh election because the rakyat have lost confidence towards the present Govt.As you watch the TV news during the pre-election, the media always talk good about the Govt helping the rakyat and asking the rakyat not to fall prey to Anwar and vote for BN, with the motive to win the Permatang Pauh election. The rakyat are not concern whether Anwar has committed sodomy or whether Anwar has a hidden political agenda, but the rakyat are just too tired to listen to the Govt hypocracy calls on Anti-corruption and self-denial in their capability in running the country and therefore the rakyat have no choice but to opt for alternatives which benefited PKR by default. During the pre-election period, it is apparent how BN manipulated the media to influence the rakyat by showing Shaiful repeatedly swearing over the quran, and a few days later, the DPM also swore (without the quran) to deny his involvement in the Mongolian murder case. Dear fellow convicts, you can start swearing now to prove innocence and appeal for release from the solitary confinement.
The DPM also made an intimidating statement to withdraw fuel subsidy if the rakyat is not happy with the revised fuel price. Is he trying to use the media to threaten the rakyat? He must be out of his mind.
The Govt must acknowledge the fact that the rakyat are fed up with the way the Govt runs the country. The rakyat are looking forward for a change of Govt this time because the present Govt is not capable in managing the economy as compared to the pre-decessor. The rakyat does not give much credence to the Govt's promises. Time has change. People are more educated and knowledgeable now because information and news could easily be obtained from the internet. As people becomes more knowledgeable, they become more mature in distinguishing right from wrong. This is also guided by our human instinct in navigating us towards the truth. Whether or not the person swears over the quran does not induce the rakyat to perceive the truth. Let's all pray for Anwar. Let the truth prevail!! The silence must be broken before it breaks!

RESTAURANT YU AI - SEGAMBUT SEAFOOD NOODLE




I was on half day leave today to service my car at Toyota Service Center in Segambut. Suppose to do it over the past 2 weekends but hardly got the time to do so. Anyway, I do not wish to procrastinate any longer as I suppose to service my car at 5000km but it's already 5500km now.
Since the service appointment is at 1pm, I've decided to have my lunch nearby the area which is not too far away from the infamous Segambut Seafood Noodle at Restaurant Yu Ai. I didn't have my breakfast in the morning and was quite hungry that time, so I ordered a large bowl of noodle and a cup of cincau to go with it. I've been to this Restaurant many years ago and I remember it cost about RM12 per bowl. It is considered quite expensive for a bowl of noodle. However, since I couldn't re-collect how it taste, no harm trying it again, expecting the price didn't change much. After the meal, I requested for the bill and to my amazement,it cost RM17 per bowl and RM2.20 for just a cup of cincau.My jaw almost drop...The cashier somemore gave me the Restaurant namecard. RM17 for a bowl of noodle?? Cincau for RM2.20?? This is madness....I was surprised there were quite many customers despite the ridiculous price charged. I've told myself that it's going to be my last time ever to step into this Restaurant. In fact, it's not the price that matters but it's just not worth paying for a bowl of noodle. To me, it taste just like any curry noodle you can find in Jalan Alor / Jalan Imbi except that the portion is slightly larger, that's all!! I will definitely boy-cott this place!

MY VIOS




I've driven my Vios for almost 4 months since I've bought it in April and I'm quite satisfied with the overall performance of the car except that Toyota has recently released another lower spec J-model which will definitely affect the re-sale value of my S-model.I've chosen silver colour because it matches the design very well as compared to the other colours.Black looks rugged but makes the car look much smaller.The interior is quite spacious and more stylish as compared to the predecessor. The 6 speaker sound system built-in player is excellent. Honda City was in fact my first choice but the current model is phasing out soon and the new model will only be launched somewhere in Dec. Too long the wait.However, no regrets in getting a Vios! ; )

"WHAT ABOUT NOW"


Chris Daughtry is definitely my favourite artist as of now. "What About Now" is the seventh and final single off of American rock band Daughtry's eponymous debut album. The music video is a social commentary, depicting several people and places effected by poverty, natural disasters, and war, as well as other world issues. Several comments are made about these issues, and the video also asks introspective questions to the viewer. Certain people who are working to help these problems are shown throughout the video, with their names and what their associated with listed. The video features a light bulb that has not yet burned out, which symbolizes that it's not too late to make a difference. The video concludes with one final question to the viewer, "What About Now?", shown next to the burning light bulb. A few shots of the band playing the song live are also shown in the video.

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the stars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
