I'm a little teapot, short and stout

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

- Bruce Lee-

its self explanatory

during my recent trip back to australia and particularly sydney, i really wanted to go back to those places i use to get associated with... like uni, jen's home, church, and also my old office...

during my 2 year stint in sydney australia, i took up part time job at the start of the 2nd yr. why? just for some extra pocket money so spend on personal stuff.. for 15 AUD/hour and 13.75 after tax was pretty good. 20 hours was the maximum amount of hours i could work / week, but i usually only do 10... 135 bucks extra per week ... pretty good huh?

sorry for the bad arrangements of photos..

Datuk's got a gun..

Datuk pulls out gun over parking spot

KUALA LUMPUR: A special assistant to a minister is being investigated by police for brandishing a gun at an auxiliary policeman.

The incident allegedly occurred at the KL Sentral parking bay on Saturday evening when the Datuk, a senior government officer, was told he was not allowed to park at a certain spot.
Angered by the instruction, he pulled out his gun and threatened to shoot the auxiliary policeman with it.

Alarmed, the policeman later filed a police report.

Kuala Lumpur police CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Datuk Ku Chin Wah confirmed the incident, adding the case was being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.

i'm usually a pretty laid back, easy going, non-negative person and hardly likes to complain as i've even blogged about how we should be more positive in our approach. but this article just gave me the urgency to say how low can our datuks go... you pull out a gun when u r denied a parking lot??

i can only imagine the conversation being like this....

datuk: bagi wa itu tempat parking..

bodoh punya polis: tak boleh, nanti boss marah...

datuk: bagi ke tak bagi, kalau tak bagi, nanti wa tembak you, sama you punya boss...

bodoh punya polis: ok ok...i saya bodoh dan salah.. jangan tembak wa.. sila park...

oooo.. thats HOT

global warming.. ai yah.. i'm sure we all know about it already and what ill-effects it can bring to us. i personally appreciate the effort by the aussie wwf group in creating the earth hour where everyone switch off their light for an hour and bring down the kilowatts.

why not continue this earth hour and use this as a catalyst to spur actions in reducing our CO2 footprint and whatever that causes global warming... so from today, 2 things that i'll try to do...

1. blackle.com (apparently its kinda like gooooooooogle)
2. only use 1sq ft of toilet roll a day... which only means u can only use 4-5 "quadrants" of toilet roll....

dumbest thing i've said in a while...

while holidaying with the bunch in langkawi last december.. i remember i had a conversation with a couple of ppl... it went like this..

i saw 2 person, a male and a female trying to take photos of themselves with a point n shoot camera. seeing how awkard the guy was holding the camera and trying to shoot and get himself in focus and in frame just made him look very stupid.

so, being the extraverted creature that i am, i kindly offered them and said... can i take for you guys.

they happily said yes.....

snap....

thanks was their reply while i handed them the camera back... the next thing that i said was.....
r you guys on honeymoon??

no, she's my mom.....

if i were a wife.... in the 50's.. i would...

interesting article from the 50's.......on how to become a good wife...

1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal — on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift, too.

4. Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.

6. Some Don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.

7. Make him comfortable: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax.

10. The goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.

please dont take this wrongly, i love my wife a LOT as she cooks a lot for me..
i would hate to be a wife then, not that i would like to be one now, but it looks rather challenging.

virgin brawn team... they look like they've done it before..

with the new f1 season just only 1 race and 2 qualifying stages old, we're beginning

to see new faces emerging on the top of the leader board..

the latest team to participate in the f1 challenge, the virgin brawn team has already 1 victory in their new and empty trophy cabinet.

again both drivers, button and barrichello look strong in qualifying. the usual suspects,... the hamiltons and the massas couldn't even get into the final qualifying session today in sepang circuit.

lets hope the new changes to the cars and tyres will continue to excite the f1 season!

team virgin brawn, you sure you've never done this as a team before?
