04-04-2009 Hey I made it another year..

Its my birthday today 4th April.

Another year older but not sure if another year wiser. But for sure another year full of life and I won't waste it. Alhamdullilah, thank Allah for what I have and what I am blessed with for the past one year.

My IC No is XX0404-04-04XX.

My Chinese friend said it sounds like No die.. No Die.. No Die.. No Die and I am quick to respond I am James Bond, Die Another Day...

Happy Birthday To Me

We have a new Prime Minister today - RAHMAN Theory works!

YAB Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak was sworn in as the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia today!

My RAHMAN theory which I subscript to since 1974 (I was in Std 4 in Banda Hilir English School (2) and my best friend Khairul told me about this RAHMAN theory, Tun Mahathir was the then Minister of Education ), has proven correct again and the chain completed.

All our Prime Ministers will have their names begin with the letters RAHMAN starting with

R - Tunku Abdul Rahman
A - Abdul Razak
H- Hussein Onn
M- Mahathir
A- Abdullah ( At one time I thought it will be Anwar, but he screwed-up)
N- Najib

For once, I felt extremely happy and excited cause something that I believed in came true.

So what's next... it will be interesting if we can now have NAJIB theory... and for my ego, I will like to see it works. So the next Prime Minister will be someone whose name start with letter A... Anwar??? Hehehe....

Maybe Ahmad Zahid Hamidi sounds more realistic or Ali Rastam... maybe some unknown new blood in the organization..but it must be with letter A...

Penantian

I read the sad news today my favourite song composer Zubir Ali passed away due to heart complication. Just last week my close expatriate buddy who I have been working with for the past 10 years was also admitted to Ampang Putri ICU also due to heart problems. But my colleuge is recuperating not Zubir.

About Zubir Ali, I love all his songs especially "Penantian". It is a very beautiful song and in those days 1980's his poetic songs start to change the local music trend from the Alleycat/Black Dog Bone "one way ticket" tune to melodic, poetic music with deep meaning lyrics. More of these poetic songs from Kopratasa, Sohaime Meor Hassan, Ebiet G Ade start to dominate the music industries and they were well received. Zubir Ali group Harmoni was one of my favourite especially with Azie and Ogy. I can still remember the lyrics and suddenly I am humming it slowly..

Penantian

Berapa lama... mesti kunanti

Sinar cahaya... matamu

Gemerlap bagai bintang

Menghiasi malam

Malam yang menutup diriku

Berapa lama perlu kutunggu

Lontaran suara dari bibirmu

Memecah hening taman

Taman syurgawi

Pada sebuah hati yang sepi

Penantian suatu siksa

Yang tidak tertanggung

Oleh tubuhku yang kering dan layu

Kepastian suatu penawar

Dalam suka dan duka

Yang meniti hidupku....

Those days the students (we were in Form 5 just finishing our High School Examinations SPM) were anxiously waiting for the exam's results as all of us had our dreams to study overseas. The Penantian lyric above somehow relate well to the agony that we were going thru with the waiting game. Thus most of us know the song very well till this day.

To Allahyarham Zubir family, I extend my deepest condolence and May Allah Almighty give them patience during this trying period.

Semoga Allah Mencucuri Rahmat Ke atas rohnya Allahyarham Zubir Ali.

1430 Hijrah Salam Maal Hijrah

It was 1 Muharam 1430 yesterday a New Year for Islamic Calendar.

I thank Allah for letting me wake up this morning to see this beautiful World of His, seeing my other half again, able to kiss my two teenage girls this morning both were still sleeping when I left them, high five with my MU fan son as my favourite Chelsea manage to a draw last nite, helped scratch both my Persian and Siamese cats, switch-on the garden fountain for the birds and squirrels to dance and bath, had my Oldtown White Coffee, drove my favourite car and arrived office to the greetings of my staff and colleuges. Life is so beautiful and I am thankful to be alive for another day and may Allah grant me another blissful year.

Alhamdulilah.

It is 25th Dec, time to be merry and tolerant but...

It is Christmas and I wish all my Christian friends Merry X'mas.

Suddenly, I remembered a very good friend of mine Dr Leow Chin Her. During our high school days, the three of us were roomates together with Mohd Nor. I can still remember how Chin Her will play his guitar humming the verses from the bible from his bed. At the same time Mohd Nor a staunt Islamic Student Leader was busy calling for prayer (Azan).

I was the headboy and both were my deputies. The three of us live harmoniously in that 12X8 ft.sq room together and it never cross our mind on our different color and different religion. How tolerant we are!

But today, we see those bloody politicians manipulating religion and race sensitivities, to the extend of jeorpadizing the society, and it really made me want to spit on their face or throw my shoes (just like what Bush had) if I meet them.

Compare to yesteryear, our children today don't know what tolerant is. This is all because of these stupid, selfish, half cook and cow brain politicians that we had, who keep arguing on having separate schools and separate medium for the school children. They are so racist that they want schools only for their own color and speak their own mother tongue. Surprisingly, they never dare to demand these if they were in US, Europe or even in Singapore!

Again, if we were to look back at these half cook politician background none of them were actually intelligent students when they were young. They were either problem child or bottom of their class and lack of both IQ and EQ.

That's why they become half cook politicians! In Malaysia, these group are good for nothing and they won't last long as everyone already know their true color!

My prayer for new year, may we get rid all these chauvinistic, racist and dumb head politicians.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

It's the Sultan's Birthday and no Datuk for politician...

Today is the Sultan's Birthday and it is a public holiday.

Unlike others, I am not surprise, His Royal Highness decided that there should not be any state award to the politician this year. I couldn't agree more. If you are here in Malaysia you should see how this low EQ and IQ politician behaved themselves in this past one year after the election either in parliment or in public. I am ashamed with this first timer politician aka moron, who really think that they won the last election because the rakyat love them! They can't even speak proper Bahasa Malaysia, or able to finish a sentence correctly and yet they have the cheek to call themselves Bangsa Malaysia and Yang Berhormat (go fly kite! phew..) They are just what in Malay proverbs said "Seperti kaduk naik junjung", or "Seperti kera mendapat bunga" and many more.

It reminded me during my high school days, there was this big bully who was not only dumb but extremely naughty. The discipline teacher was so fed-up he decided to appoint this notorious bully as a prefect. Surprised with the appointment, the dumb-head bully thought all the teachers in school love him. He pretended to be a role model for a while but less than a month everyone can see his true color supplying cigarettes to his gang in school and other evil deeds. There is a popular saying "Mulut berkokok tapi buntut penuh tahi"! They seemed to be championing everything but they themselves are part of the problems. They are the real racist, sadist, facist whatever extremism represent. They are the one.

This is exactly what these half cooked politicians are to me. Hopefully someone is kind enough to tell them the truth just like the dumb-head bully!
