Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson

The morning news today was a real shocker. Two famous names in the entertainment world have passed away. One was Farrah Fawcett of the Charlie’s Angels fame in the 1970s. Her death was somewhat expected as she has been fighting cancer for several years. The other was the "King of Pop" - Michael Jackson. His death is a shock to me and probably the whole world. I don’t think anybody has expected that. According to the news from the radio, he died of heart attack.
It’s a sad day today.

That’s life …. May they rest in peace.

Someone's comment on Penang

The recent squabble between the former and current CM of Penang is kind of silly and laughable, just because of the comment made by Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew during his visit to Penang recently. I am thinking if the same remark were made by any Tom and Harry, both the past and present CM would not give a shit.

Of course Mr. Lee is no ordinary Tom and Harry. He is the Minister Mentor of Singapore and you can imagine how much weight the words coming from his mouth would carry. Both Tsu Koon and Guan Eng are not in the same league as Kuan Yew and would not dare to confront him, instead they started blaming each other over the comment made by Kuan Yew regarding Penang state’s poor infrastructure.

Who is more handsome?

I have not been to Penang since my childhood years. I have no idea what the current Penang state’s infrastructure is like compare to the past. All I know is that Penang has been under BN for decades and now under PR for over a year. Any Ah Beng, Ali or Ah Lian for that matter would tell you BN is solely responsible for the shameful truth made by the old man representing our beloved neighbor in the south.Most politicians are hypocrites, that’s no doubt about it. However to be a hypocrite and having a very very thick skin at the same time is extraordinary. Tsu Koon’s explanation to put the blame on Guan Eng is pathetic and ludicrous. I am curious if he still does not know the reasons why the Penangties disowned him after umpteen years of his direction-less administration and why his Gerakan party was totally wiped out by PR during the last election. He has been a Penang CM for 18 years and then lost to an unknown P. Ramasamy from PR! That shows how much the Penangties had wanted to get rid of him. I thought he has a PhD title, right? Can’t be that stupid what, no?

Anybody accused of doing something that was not his or her fault would understandably fight back, as did Guan Eng. He may be spared of the blame for now but he better heeds the warning from Kuan Yew and not be complacent. He has lots of work to do before the next election to prove to the Penangties that he deserves to hold on to the Chief Minister title.

Today's Joke

"I think I have a problem, Doc," says a patient. "One of my balls has turned blue."
The doctor examines the man briefly and concludes that the patient will die if he doesn't have his testicle removed.
"Are you crazy?!" bursts the patient. "How could I let you do such a thing to me!"
"You want to die?" asks the doctor rhetorically, at which point the patient has to agree to have his testicle removed.
Two weeks after the operation, the patient comes back.
"Doc, I don't know how to say this, but the other ball has turned blue, too."
Again, the doctor tells him that if he wants to live, his other testicle must be cut off, too. Again,the man is very reluctant to the idea.
"Hey, you want to die?" asks the doctor, and the patient has to agree with the operation.
After two weeks of being testicle-less, the patient returns to the doctor and says,
"I think something is very wrong with me. My penis is now completely blue."
After briefly examining the patient, the doctor gives him the bad news: If he wants to live, his penis has to go. Of course, the patient does not want to hear about it.
"You want to die?" asks the doctor.
"But...how do I pee?"
"We'll install a plastic pipe, and there will be no problem."
So the patient has his penis removed, and, a while after the operation, the unfortunate man enters the doctor's office again. He is very angry.
"Doctor, the plastic pipe turned blue!"
"What?"
"Can you tell me what the hell is happening??"
The doctor examines the patient more carefully and says,
"Hmmm, I don't know. Could it be the jeans?"

Talking on the mobile phone

Have you noticed a strange human behavior when people are talking on the mobile phone? Do you realize that most people will walk around (either in circle or to and fro within the area) when engaging in mobile phone conversation? It seems to be a natural voluntarily action to move about with the phone attached to your ear. It happened to me too and it’s kind of embarrassing when you finished your conversation and realized that people are staring at you as though you were a clown. Well, I have learned and managed to not move about now and you know what, I actually enjoy watching people doing that and some will add in hand and leg gestures which are very funny.
