An English professor wrote the words:
“A woman without her man is nothing “
on the board and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.
All of the males in the class wrote: “A woman, without her man, is nothing.”
All the females in the class wrote: “A woman: without her, man is nothing.”……
A woman goes into a tattoo parlor and tells the tattoo artist that
she wants a tattoo of a turkey on her right thigh, right up just below her
bikini line.
She also wants him to put “Happy Thanksgiving” under the turkey.
So the guy does it and it comes out looking real good.
The woman then instructs him to put a Santa Clause with “Merry
Christmas” up on her left thigh. So the guy does it and it comes out looking
good too.
As the woman is getting dressed to leave, the tattoo artist says,
“If you don’t mind, could you tell me why you had me put such unusual
tattoos on your thighs?”
She said, “I’m sick and tired of my husband complaining all the time
that there’s nothing good to eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas !!!”

Very thoughtful, ALL FOR LOVE, a picture send to me through email by none other than my lovely wife for this coming festive seasons…

A lovely picture and I reproduce here for those who are indeed in need of love…merry christmas.
My p & s camera, Nikon Coolpix S1, still takes bloody good pictures. Its only 5.1 mp and is very sharp. Recently I was in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, China and I took this p&s with me for snap shots. I took quite a lot of snap shots with this p&s, but I was not that impressed with the look of the pictures on the lcd screen; until I uploaded them all to the computer and only then I realised that the p&s still takes bloody good pictures though.
The following three pictures are the beautiful scenes of Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, China taken with Nikon Coolpix S1:-
These three pictures were taken in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, China. They are all located in the Five-colored Lake (五花海), also called Peacock Lake, is 5 meters deep, with an area of 90,000 square meters and at an elevation of 2,472 meters. Its water at different depths covers a color spectrum from pale blue through aquamarine to emerald green. Geologists attribute the phenomenon to mineral concentration. These three views are just one of the views crowned as a wonder of JiuZhaiGou, China.
The rest of the pictures of Jiuzhaigou taken with Nikon Coolpix Si and other DSLR can be view here.
For his birthday little Patrick asked for a 10-speed bicycle.
>His father said, “Son, we’d give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $180,000 and your mother just lost her job. There is no way we can afford it.
>The next day the father saw little Patrick heading out the front door with a suitcase.
>So he asked, “Son, where are you going?”
>Little Patrick told him, “I was walking past your room last night and heard you tell mum you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I’ll be damned if I’m staying here by myself with a $180,000 mortgage and no fucking bike !”
NARROW viewpoints affect unity, confuse the public and bring about the perception that Malays are not fair, Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (Ikim) director-general Dr Syed Ali Tawfik al-Attas told Berita Minggu.
Dr Syed Ali said the action of certain Muslims who make narrow-minded statements or enforce rules that were not taught by religion was disturbing race relations in the country.
He said issues like not being allowed to wish Selamat Deepavali to Hindus and the ban on bringing in non-halal food to school were causing the Malays to be alienated from non-Muslims.
“What is the problem with a non-Muslim bringing in food that contains pork? The food is specifically for them.
“If this attitude persists, later someone will say that Muslims cannot live next to non-Muslims or that Muslims cannot socialise with non-Muslims.”
Dr Syed Ali added that there were so many instances these days of things that were considered haram or halal. However. he was confident that a majority of Malays were rational in their relations with other races and did not accept ignorant statements as the truth.
(Monday 11 December, 2006 THE STAR, N32 Focus, Other News & Views)
As I See It…i do agree that majority of malays were rational and would not accept ignorant statement as the truth and in years to come with the emphasis placed on education, we would have more educated lots and the racial problems will be diminished to a certain level.

Who are you…
An article written by Raja Petra Kamarudin titled as “I am a Malaysian” and posted under No Holds Barred in MT on December 12, 2006 generates so far 372 comments and the original articles can be read here.
I am particularly interested in the last two paragraphs of this articles and I quote as follows:-
“Okay, I have digressed quite far already. Let’s get back to the topic of the day. I started off by saying that I would like to make my New Year’s Resolution. I also added that I can never keep my Resolutions and break them even before the emergence of 2 January. Well, this year I am going to keep my Resolution. I am not going to break it right through to 31 December and beyond. I will carry it through to 2008 as my Resolution for that year as well. And the Resolution for 2007 is going to be: I will keep saying “I am a Malaysian”.
Yes, that is what I am. I am a Malaysian. And that is my 2007 New Year’s Resolution. I will constantly remind myself that I am a Malaysian and tell all and sundry that I am not Malay, I am not Bugis, I am Malaysian. Hmm…will this make me a traitor to my race? Maybe, but if enough people join me and proclaim that they too are Malaysians, then we will win in the end, because in a democracy majority rules. Well, let’s see if the Chinese too want to transform into Malaysians or whether they would like to continue with their Malay-bashing; which means then they regard themselves as Chinese. Then, in that case, I will form the Parti Anak Bugis and go contest in a Bugis majority seat somewhere in Sabah. Do you think they will admit my new party into Barisan Nasional? “
Now, see what I mean? This articles is very informative and provocative, humorous and witty too. It generates 372 comments so far, mostly positive comments; of course, there are negative comments too. Some are very extreme, like this one replied “I am a Malaysian. But Ketuanan Melayu still stays. So, as a Malaysian, we have to live with 2 set of rules. One for the Malays, and another one for the non-malays. This is call Malaysia. Otherwise, it is not call Malaysia. It would have been called MalayChineseIndiasia. So what the fuck? “
As I See It:- What and who am I then? Oh yes, my answer would be deep down inside me, I must confess that I AM A MALAYSIAN as I was born, raised, and school in Malaysia and that I am a MALAYSIAN when outside the country. But, I am a Chinese Malaysian when inside the country. Do I have any choice? My dream is to be MALAYSIAN whenever and wherever I am.
So, who are you then? Read the articles and form your own opinions as this articles is very informative and makes you think…
