BTW, i have no idea if this letter is true and why some ppl would actually bother to write such a letter. I mean i am sure the PM is gonna read all his "fan mail" isnt he? He gets like wat? 1 a day? Or even lesser perhaps? I guess nobody would actually write to him and he has all day to spend on letters like these...

Being a Malaysian Indian and reading this email makes me still think that we are miles away from being mature. This gal specifically say the minister is actually talking about the history indians in malaysia and mentions many times that he looks at her while speaking...maybe he just wants to get into her pants and he isnt very good wid flirting and this dumb gal is just a prude....

and asking if she knows samy vellu is racists?? er so if i ask someone if they know somebody and they say no but i know the somebody i am being a racist?? Damn....Next thing u know these motherfuckers will start saying that by mentioning another person's name who is not the same race as you are is a racial slur...and fuck reading between the lines....this shouldnt even be an issue and the fact the gal mentions it show that she has some personal issues she should deal with 1st.

The killer one was the 3rd and final incident....he says he is gonna help her and she complains?? ppl like that should just rot in hell because they are too stupid to live in the real world....btw, i am talking about the gal....and its so bloody obvious he just wanted to fuck her....

Muh new baby

Ladies and Gentleman,

I am pleased to introduce to you all my new baby.....Isnt she a real beauty....hehehe

Dawn of a new age

There is change in the horizon.......The wind is cold.......The skies are grey........Darkness is lifting......Far from the naked eye.....something stirs....awaken from its deep slumber......it beckons......

Yes ladies and gentlemen, i have finally finished my final exams for my degree and fingers crossed, that should be it....So happy....also i am getting my new car tomorrow and that is probably more exciting right now...hehehe

Happy Vishu

A very happy vishu to everyone out there....Here is a brief history of this festival so all u non-malayalees know what its all about.....And if u dont care well fuck u too then.....

Among the various Hindu festivals in Kerala, Vishu occupies a unique position in more than one respect. As symbol of the unostentatious Malayali, Vishu is free from the usual pomp and show and merry-making associated with other festivities. When almost all the festivals are connected in some way or other with religion, Vishu has nothing to do with it, though it is observed with religious solemnity. The first day for Medam is the unchangeable day of Vishu, whereas other festivals are determined according to the lunar asterisms on which they fall.

This day on which Vishu falls is the astronomical new year day and it is celebrated as such. The Malayalis believe that the fortunes for the year depend upon the nature of the object one sees first in the morning of Vishu Day. In order to fulfill the desire to look at the auspicious articles, they prepare a 'Kani' (anomen) on the previous day for seeing in the next morning. In circular bell-metal vessel known as 'Urule' some raw rice is put and over it a folded newly washed cloth is spread. A golden coloured cucumber, betel leaves, betel nuts, metal mirror, yellow flowers of Konna tree (cassia fistula), a Grandha (book of palm leaves) and a few gold coins are then placed over the cloth in the vessel arranged in a decorative fashion. Two coconut halves containing oil and lighted wicks are also placed in the vessel which illuminate the articles inside it. A bell-metal lamp filled with coconut oil is kept burning by the side of the vessel. Early in the morning of the Vishu at about 5 O'clock, one of the members of the house, usually the eldest female member gets up and lights the lamp and looks at' Kani' . She wakes up other member, one after another and the Kani is shown to everyone of them, taking particular care not to allow anyone to look by chance at other things. The vessel is taken to the bedside to the members or if it is too big to be carried, it is placed at one spot and the members are led there blind-folded. Even the cattle are not deprived of this privilege, as the Kani is taken to the cattle-shed and placed before them to have a look.

The next item is giving of handsel (Kaineetom). The eldest member of the family takes some silver coins and gives them to a junior member with some raw rice and Konna flower. This is repeated in the case of other members also and they in turn give such handsel to their juniors, relatives, servants etc. After this the children begin to fire crackers.

In the morning all talk bath and put on their forehead the marks of ashes and sandal paste and go to the temple for worship. After worship, they prepare a feast which is moderate and elegant.

In certain parts of Kerala, where the paddy cultivation commences after the monsoon, there is an observance called chal (Furrow) closely associated with Vishu . This is nothing but the auspicious commencement of the agricultural operations, in the new year.

Customs and manners may change from region to region, but the belief of the Malayali that his fortune for the year depends on the first thing he sees on the astronomical New Year day, is shared by the people of other countries also in different forms. For example, in European countries there is a belief that the first person who enters a house on the New Year day is supposed to have an influence on the inhabitants of that house for the whole year.

What has been offered to the readers in the foregoing paragraphs is only a resume of the fairs and festivals of Kerala, which we do not claim as exhaustive. Some of Kerala's fairs and festivals have a religious character and others secular. Some are rooted in hoary myths and other connected with man's attitude towards nature, fertility and harvest. Some of the festivals are of a universal nature. Whatever be the origin of the fairs and festivals of this land, whether religious or secular, whether some of them are celebrated within the entire country or even outside, Kerala has given them a colour and tenor of her own.

In spite of all their difficulties and tribulations, the people of Kerala have a joyous approach to life. This innocent joy is given vent in all the fairs and festivals of the land. This is also the secret of the different castes festivals of each other and contributing to a truly cosmopolitan life.

One week has passed

Yea, another boring week just passed....

I found out that some lecturers can be real assholes.... I mean fine i know they are busy people and all but refusing to help a student out by just teaching him a little is not too much to ask it is?

Its not like i am asking 4 tips or guidelines or anything of that sort......Sigh i guess we all cant be perfect can we?

Anyway i got 2 exams next week and it just hit me, if i dont pass these papers i may be stucked in this fucked up hell hole for another month....and that is just plain scary no matter how u wanna look at it.....

Wish me best of luck then....

The rest of the pics

No clue why i am doing this but hey just have a laugh at it aite.....

Unbelievable

U know the moment i finished my last post u wont believe what the heck happened....

Everything just went black.....i really figured i was in deep shit at that moment....and then outside my hse there was a huge truck with siren lights.......

Moments later i noticed the TNB sign on the truck and realised that it was just a blackout and no secret goverment agency was trying to get rid of me....but it was scary for a moment.....

CIA

by the way i forgot to mention....a few months back some american goverment related intelligence agency contacted me via my blog.....

Not entirely sure what it meant but if i disappear suddenly, i think u know what prob happened to me.....

Lunch at pizza hut

ROTFLMAO.......not bad pics at all....even though i am made to look a wee bit like a jackass.....but hey, i am a good natured guy most of the time and i am not alone looking like a jackass in these pics so they kinda even things out no?

I guess this was kinda our farewell lunch? Or maybe it was to celebrate a new beginning? Or that.......NO!!!!....must exercise self control.......I think i should exercise more self restraint, but that really isnt me now is it? Sigh......decisions decisions......

Guess i will leave those stories for another day.....maybe if u ask nicely i will tell but not today....One close call a month is all i can take..... I really wonder if it happened......

Damn....if anyone actually can figure out what i am talking about here....i would be fucking amazed.....

You know what since those pics are about lunch i prob should mention a wee bit more about that no? It was surprisingly pleasant and "entertaining"?? Well i guess dats the word to use..... was the 1st time i actually talked to some of my classmates and i realized what i may have missed out on..... oh well, i have neva really been known for my wise choices in life now have i, eh.........

WELL here is wishing everyone a happy life after DMP....Ciao

Post viva

Hi guys,

its been over 3 months since my last post. I know you all missed me.

Since then i have already sold my Iswara....sob...sob....

Still am carless and have yet to decide anything on that front yet

Finished my viva last week. That went surprisingly better than i would have expected it to go. Now all that is left is for me sit for my last 2 exams and then i can say i am done with this lame ass college. But destiny doesnt permit me to do this. I have an extra 2 weeks of OCA to attend so thats gotta get out of the way soon too.

Also after my exams, i have a whole roadshow to carry out and then i gonna start my job full time. Right now i am just keeping my fingers crossed that the end of the world doesnt occur right after my exams. Now dat will be a great story no?

Ok guess i gotta go and get ready 4 my final class and see my project supervisor 4 unknown reasons. Will post more often now. And perhaps leave some interesting stuff 4 u guys as well

Ciao

A new horizon

Stranger this have happened in the last few weeks. I found out that ppl actually read my blog and i get about a hundred hits in a month. Also i find out the Ms. Lohan has got serious issues which forces me to rethink my affair with her....

Been so busy lately doing absolutely nothing that i dont really know what to say. 1st lets get down to business. I want to sell my Iswara....Its a 2001 model, 1.5 and is automatic. I have added much gizmos in it to make it look and sound real cool. Please send in your offers soon.

2ndly i am looking for ppl to cut grass in Nilai. Any contacts are much appreciated. Now that business is over i find out one of my most obnoxious relatives is a celebrity.... And supposedly hot as well. Will need to investigate in more detail in to this matter. There could be potential here for me to cause trouble in a larger scale......

Anyway there really havent been too many interesting theories going on in my head. Except those related to web programming and OPC which i doubt any body here want to listen to or could be bothered. Oh yea, i started watching heroes and it really is one of the better series i have watched in my life. Check it out if you havent...

Any this is it for now...Ciao

Luck

You know i often wondered what makes luck work the way it does. Is it really coincidence or are they mysterious forces at work here or could it be just too complex for our puny brains to understand?

Maybe it is and maybe it aint. I really dont care. But i do wanna tell u about the day the cobra visited my home. YES!!!! Exciting aint it?

Stupid fucking neighbours in my stupid taman should learn to cut their grass and not let it become in to a fucking jungle. Heck even the cat is too afraid to get off the roof but that is a story for another day.

So this day started out like any other day except i was home alone and wasnt hungry at all the whole day. Except when it was time for lunch. Heard my dogs barking for sometime so i figured i would just look out the window. After all those year i lived in the estate i figured the sight i was about to see was not gonna happen ever when i moved to the city. Boy was i wrong ( and that dont happen too often)

A cobra was in attack position and was just staring at my dogs. I threw some ice at it since the hose was right where the snake was and i was not that confident that i would be faster than the snake. The bloody thing didnt even move even after a large number of ice hit it. So i called in backup. Backup wasnt so bloody effective at all. The snake went away and returned back in the night.

Why couldnt it have been a naked Lindsay Lohan or some other hot chick? It just had to be a poisonous snake. Since i left my dogs out for the night they were trying to attack it. Being the festival season that idea backfired like hell. When the fireworks started both my dogs ran for their lives. As i slowly opened the front door to see where they were, they ran into my house to hide. I didnt know if i should laugh or get worried because the whole house now stinks of dog.

The day ended well with Man Utd beating the crap out of liverpool. guess the snake must be an omen telling me my luck was gonna change soon. We shall see.......

A huge mistake

i discovered by accident that caffeine is not just addictive, it can also make u very high. I put on a pot of coffee in the morning thinking i could have it the whole day. Thats like 12 cups of coffee. I also put a lot of Indonesian coffee (too much i think) so it was really black.

I had one cup wid my breakfast and then started to work on my DMP. The dumb instructions provided by Matrikon OPC wasnt working very well so i felt like i needed more coffee. B4 i knew it i finished the whole pot in a couple of hours. My eyes were burning and i became very irritable. And i felt like jogging or just doing some exercise.

Thats when i figured something was wrong. I looked in the mirror and it reminded me of junkies. Then i realised i was really high on coffee. Took me the whole day to recover and i spent much of it working out. Guess who am i gonna blame this whole episode on?? HEHEHEHEHEHEHE.........

The legendary article

Ok this guy wrote this one article. And i have heard so much about it. Most of the comments were negative. Someone told me that this guy has written many journals and there are all available on the net. So obviously i searched for it and stumbled upon this. Since it was a few pages long i decided to read it.

There is nothing in the article a guy cant write within a day. And this guy gives us a hard time on the work we hand in? He really has an ego.... Have a read and see how much effort he put in the research part.....Yes....5......lots of research huh......

Takaful Jerk

This one is in Malay but is a great read to see how close minded some ppl in this country still are. His name is Fauzi Mustaffar and he is the TAKAFUL MALAYSIA Head of Syariah Dept......

Durga Pooja Greetings / Lakshmi Pooja Greetings / Deepavali Greetings



Tuan/puan warga kerja Takaful Malaysia yang dihormati,

Marhaban Ramadhan, semoga kita semua mendapat manfaat dan keberkatan
daripada bulan yang mulia ini.

Sebagaimana yang tuan/puan sedia maklum bahawa selain dari perayaan Aidil
Fitri yang akan disambut oleh umat Islam pada bulan ini, penganut agama
hindu juga merayakan 3 perayaan mereka seperti yang disebut dalam subjek di
atas.

Sukacita saya ingin maklumkan bahawa kakitangan Takaful Malaysia perlu
berhati-hati dengan ungkapan ucap selamat sempena perayaan tertentu yang
selain daripada perayaan yang terdapat dalam Islam. Ucap selamat tersebut
mestilah diteliti impilikasinya terutama yang melibatkan hukum dan akidah.

Antaranya ialah ucap selamat Happy Durga Pooja atau Durga Pooja Greetings.
Ia bermakna selamat menyambut hari kebesaran Dewi Durga. Sambutan ini
adalah festival yang paling penting bagi orang-orang Hindu. Ia menandakan
ketaatan dan kepatuhan kepada Dewi Durga yang dianggap sebagai Mother of
the Universe. Ia disambut oleh oleh penganut agama Hindu pada hari-hari
berikut:

29 Sept 2006 - Durga Pooja - Saptami
30 Sept 2006 - Durga Pooja - Mahastami
01 Okt 2006 - Durga Pooja - Navami
02 Okt 2006 - Dussehra - Vijaya Dasami

Untuk makluman tuan/puan, Durga Pooja mengikut kepercayaan penganut agama
hindu adalah tuhan dewi yang mempunyai tangan yang banyak dan bersilang
yang biasanya kelihatan di kuil-kuil hindu.

Antaranya lagi ialah ucap selamat Happy Deepavali atau lebih dikenali di
Benua Kecil India dengan nama Happy Diwali. Deepavali atau Diwali
menandakan kemenangan kebaikan mengatasi kejahatan. Ia berkaitan dengan
agama hindu juga di mana mitosnya bagi penganut agama hindu di Malaysia
ialah tuhan agama hindu yang bernama Krishna telah membunuh Narakasura.
Lalu penganut agama hindu merayakan kemenangan ini dengan menyalakan lampu
serta berpesta. Manakala mitos di Benua Kecil India pula ialah kemenangan
Ramayana membunuh Ravana.

Mengikut kepercayaan hindu, sempena perayaan deepavali mereka akan
menerangi rumah mereka dengan cahaya kerana dewi Lakshmi iaitu dewi
kekayaan akan berkunjung ke rumah yang diterangi cahaya dan akan memberkati
keluarga terbabit. Oleh itu perayaan Lakshmi Pooja akan diadakan 2 hari
sebelum deepavali untuk mendapatkan rezeki dan berkat yang berganda.

Setelah meneliti ketiga-tiga perayaan tadi maka jelaslah ianya ada kaitan
secara langsung dengan kepercayaan agama hindu. Seluruh kakitangan Malaysia
adalah dilarang untuk mengucapkan ucap selamat kepada ketiga perayaan di
atas dan lain-lain lagi yang sepertinya kerana ianya boleh menyebabkan
berlakunya syirik. Budaya korporat Takaful Malaysia yang bersendikan
Syariat tidak mengizinkan ianya berlaku sekalipun untuk pelanggan yang
beragama hindu atau agama lain yang mana ucap selamat tadi membabitkan
tuhan mereka. Ucapan Happy Durga Pooja, Happy Lakshmi Pooja dan Happy
Deepavali seolah-olah mengucap selamat buat tuhan hindu yang bernama Durga,
Laksmi dan Krishna. Dan ianya jelas bertentangan dengan akidah Islam.

Allah berfirman dalam surah ali-'Imran ayat 18 yang bermaksud: "Allah telah
bersaksi bahawa tiada tuhan selain Dia". Dalam surah Muhammad ayat 1 Allah
berfirman yang bermaksud: "Maka ketahuilah bahawa tiada tuhan selain
Allah".

Bagi mereka yang telah terlanjur mengucap selamat kepada penganut hindu
seperti ketiga-tiga greetings di atas maka hendaklah segera bertaubat dan
tidak mengulanginya lagi pada masa-masa akan datang.

Semoga usaha kita untuk mengamalkan Syariat sebagai budaya korporat Takaful
Malaysia diberkati Allah dan mencapai kejayaan yang kita harapkan.

Sekian untuk makluman. Terima kasih.

Hell Freezes Over

No this is not that popular joke on the net about the student paper on whether hell is exo or endothermic....though that is a good joke. Perhaps i should post it.....if there are requests

Anyway.....yesterday was fucking funny....stupid supervisor decided to go on a rant about the job market. He tried to give examples but ended up giving some rotten advice and some good one. Being desperate and going for a job interview is never a good idea no matter what the circumstances. They will smell ur desperation and u will end up wid a crappy job. But some of his theories on anwsering the interviewers question was not bad. Too bad i aint gonna share it here.....hehehehehe

Then he brought up his usual stuff on house repairs. Yea we know it was a moment of brilliance on ur part. Let it go dude. Or get more stories. Damn, i just realised wat happens if he reads this. Hmmmm, wat am i saying. i have never cared b4 of wat ppl think of my blog and i aint gonna start anytime soon.

Now i remember wat i wanted to share. A letter from some takaful dude. Was quite the funny article( dont mind the bad English). Will put it up on my next post. Got a few stuff like dat that i will post soon. Ciao fans

Stress

I just found out that i actually have stress. Well not from a doctor..... So actually no i havent found out i have stress. But i did find out i have had the fucking flu for 2 weeks plus already and it shows no sign of getting better. Has anyone tried doing their DMP wid the flu and a high fever? There is no way u get to do anything that can be considered as good. And well it turned out to be bad anyway.

The 1st comment i got out of the work i handed in was it looked like a brochure. Well when ur reviewing a certain product range it tends to look like a fucking brochure right? You cant expect it to end up looking like a encyclopedia or a novel or i dont know maybe a movie??? And some retard Asian who has very little creativity decided to give the exact same comment. I dont know if he was trying to be polite or just another retard but heck i will keep thinking he is a retard.

Now let me ask you a simple question. Do you think a person who can barely speak the English language is qualified to comment on a person who speaks it like its the 1st language. Ok it isnt my 1st language but i have been using it ever since i can remember so i guess that has to count for something right? Now this guy (another fucking Asian, i think i am becoming a racist, but i think i always was anyway) says my sentences are too long. HELLO asswipe.... i believe thats the whole point to it. I used long sentences because short sentences makes it look too simple and i dont do simple unless the situation calls for it. I guess the supervisor figured he was wasting his time asking us to rate each others English because there were only very few of us actually qualified to do so. When i say qualify i mean we actually speak the language.

Wow it feels so good to get this off my chest. Hopefully no one still reads this bloody blog. Heck i cant even remember the address of this blog. I should be safe. Unless the aliens or the CIA or some other secret goverment agency is reading it. I wonder if Malaysia has one of those. Yea, perhaps they are too busy fasting to be bothered wid me this time. Muahahahahahahaha

New Life

I took my 1st step inj leaving my col life when i started my intership last week. Now all i have to do is complete my degree. Hope it doesnt end up like previous attemp. Its was around the same stage i was asked to leave my previous programmme. If i had the chance to redo it i would have quit before i was asked to leave... :P

I'm back

I just checked out my frens blog, an boy does this fit into the theory that he is kinda gay....

Those who know me, will know what i am talking about... Just listen to this quote and tell me it isnt gay in anyway

I started to think about my life again, about all the crossroads and the decisions. How I love if I can go back to the road junctions and try every choices I've had. Will the other road be a better choice? I hope I know the answer and also hope I don't know at the same time.

I mean i know the excuse i am Asian so i can be a little gay, or even the one that claims i am a sensitive guy. But this is just way too much gayness involved. Maybe i am just too straight for these guys.

Another tale mentioned by a fren, he claim to see some 'interesting pics' of a fren in a club. Maybe i just have a dirty mind but i was wondering who da heck is weird enough( other that voyeur site operators )to take pics of ppl having sex in a club? And my fren told me i was sick.... The pics were of my fren wid a hot gal... I am sorry but that just sounded way too lame for me...
