Battle of the Century

What a dramatic turn of event before nomination day. Cili padi is back and Guan Choy call it quit.

Fong Po Kuan reversed her decision and will be contesting again at Batu Gajah, which is a very good news for many people. Well, I wonder how would Najib react to this. Since he is saying po kuan is a 'caliber' leader, does this mean Najib will vote for her if he were in Batu Gajah??? ( hahahahahaha.....)

Thanks to the internet, tracking what people had said have never been easier.
Abdullah Badawi interview on Times Magazine

TIME: Is your drive against corruption designed to win votes?
Abdullah: It's not a political ploy. Corruption is bad. It increases the cost of doing business. I will continue with my crusade against corruption [even after the election].

TIME: Do you fear a backlash from some politicians in UMNO because of your crackdown on corruption?
Abdullah: I can't help it if they are unhappy. I have a job to do.

Dear fellow Malaysian, it's time for a change...50 years of hegemony and arrogance is enough, the nep needs to go away...have we not seen enough bullshit yet??? We have 'bocor' parliament, Malaysia' Uni dropping out of top 200, lingam's tape, sending space traveler for no reason, .... ... the list just keep going on.
Guys and gals, If you are eligible to vote, please go and vote, vote for a change, vote for any opposition. I have seen a lot of my friends acting like it's none of their business. THIS IS VERY WRONG. Think again! Politics does affect us one way or another! Even it might not affect you directly, people around you, your relatives, your loved one or even your family might get affected!!!

So please, vote for a change! deny BN 2/3 parliament's seat for a start!



p/s : I think the music suck they should ask namewee to write one for them! (negara .. . .. ..ku...)

Polling Date

Just got the news about polling date.

From Malaysiakini :

"The Election Commission today announced that the nation’s 12th general election to be held on March 8, a Saturday coinciding with the school holidays. Nomination day is fixed on Feb 24, a Sunday."

General Election - Are we dumb fools?!?

No time to put in my view yet, I have taken the article below from malaysiakini

"

He will regret and pay for this lie about dissolving Parliament. He could had easily said, ‘I will think about it when the right time comes’ or even as simple ‘No comment’.

On PM dissolves Parliament

Sheikh Rizal Housein: Is the PM taking Malaysians for a ride? Does he think we Malaysians are real dumb? The whole world knew he was going to dissolve the Parliament yesterday. However, on Feb 12, when the media interviewed him, he dismissed it and even had the nerve to say that Parliament won’t be dissolved the next day.

Even the Press headlines said Parliament wouldn’t be dissolved on March 13. And then, yesterday, Feb 13, he dissolved Parliament. What does he think we Malaysians are, dumb fools? Well, the joke is on him. He will regret and pay for this lie.

He could had easily said, ‘I will think about it when the right time comes’ or even as simple ‘No comment’. Now, in the eyes of all Malaysians, the PM is the biggest liar in Malaysia.

Charity Lee: Day before yesterday, the PM said Parliament wouldn't be dissolved yesterday (the date of his favourite/lucky number, 13). But yesterday, he said Parliament is dissolved. Didn't Pak Lah just lie to our faces?

Of course he knew when it would be dissolved. And of course he knew the King wouldn't object to it. It's exactly this kind of duplicity that makes it hard for anyone to trust the PM regardless of what he may be saying or whether his intentions are good or bad.

Time and time again Malaysians have been let down by his insincere, shoot-himself-in-the-foot statements. At least he's consistent in that!

Raj: In less than 24 hours, the premier went back on his word on dissolving the Malaysian parliament. We Malaysians do not have any issues on his prerogative to decide. However, what matters most to us are his words. For a man of his stature, we expect a little honesty when he speaks out. But sad to say he never seems to realise that every word he speaks would reach 27 million people out there who eventually will find out that the PM lying.

Personally, and I am sure most fellow Malaysians also would agree with me, this portrays him as a man who never keeps his promise. He need not have lied. How to trust a leader who says one thing one day but makes a hundred and eighty degree turn in less than 24 hours? How to trust him with the future of Malaysians? Pak Lah, please tell me as Malaysian why should I trust you and vote for you? I deserve an honest reply from you.

Ludricrous: Our infamous and sleepy Abdullah probably had to be ‘told’ by son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin (considered as the most powerful man in Malaysia) and Altantunya Najib that he is supposed to announce the dissolution of parliament yesterday. Abdullah just didn't know he had to do it and now comes up with lame excuses for looking as lost as he really is.

If this is not the case, then why didn't Abdullah simply tell the media on Feb 12 that he will make an announcement the next day (yesterday) rather than make an about turn?

YSM: Five possible reasons for the prime minister’s flip-flop statement on the dissolution of Parliament:1. He is a liar and makes empty promises

2. He is unsure of his plans from day-to-day and makes decisions as and when

3. He was misquoted by the media that is owned by the BN

4. He received sudden inspiration on the night of Feb12.

5. He received urgent news during the cabinet session which made him change his mind.

Who knows? We will never know the reasons behind all the flip flops, u-turns and knots which our dear prime minister loves making.

Parliament Dissolved 13/2/08 noon

News from New Straits Times today:

‘Parliament won’t be dissolved today’

BANGI: Parliament will not be dissolved today.

The prime minister dismissed intense speculation that he would seek to dissolve parliament on the basis of his penchant for the number 13.

“No such thing,” Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told reporters after the launch of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Institut Islam Hadhari.

Pressed further if today’s cabinet meeting would be the last for the 11th parliamentary term, he asked back: “What makes you think it’s going to be the last?”

“There will be more (meetings to come).”

I thought Pak Lah said the parliament won't dissolve today...well I guess it just another empty promise, what's new anyway?

Anyway, here comes the election.

Stay tune...

CNY ^.^

I have finally have time to sit down and update my blog. It had been an outing marathon for me last week starting from Chinese New Year eve. We went to watch CJ7 on CNY eve, the movie isn't all that bad, it just not a typical Stephen Chow's movie anymore. In fact, we didn't see the old Chow Sing Chi for quite awhile now, Kungfu Soccer was kind of a turning point. His facial expression and body language are less exaggerate.

After the movie we went to ming's house to gamble, something that we won't miss during Chinese New Year. We were all expecting a revenge and win back the money we loss to him last year, however, we were once again disappointed. We were only playing black jack that night and ming seem to have very good luck during his last round of being banker. (we were rotating banker) CNY eve ended up to be such a disappointing night but it's not over yet!

First day of CNY was business as usual for me, visiting two of my relatives during the day; and of course it is not a cny without gambling. I played black jack again at my auntie's house and losing money yet again, seem like it's not my year..haha...Nothing much happened that night except watching another movie, kungfu dunk. I hate it when Jay not speaking in his own voice.

I usually have lion dance at my office house on the second day of CNY.

Relatives are gathering at my house to visit my parents. ( my father being the elder now, two of his elder sis already passed away). I didn't take part in the gambling session at my house this time because I needed to head out earlier to karaokes with friends. We booked a 10-12 people rooms but in the end only had 6. One of our friend, Mok, who usually join us had to go back to penang earlier this year to pay a visit to his father and mother -in-law (just married last year). Later that night we gathered at Leong's house and try to revenge on ming! This time we added one of our favorite game (because ming usually lose money in this game) , 'in between' and a new game which none of us know the name so we just called it 'eddie'.

For 'in between', every players will place a bet which everyone agree upon, let say, rm 0.50 or rm1. Hence if the bet is rm 1 and we have 8 players, the pool of money is rm 8. There is no banker, everyone takes turn to deal the cards and every player get 2 opened cards. Player who has more than 3 numbers in between the 2 opened cards get to participate to win from the pool of money. For example, let say if I get 2 to 5 as my opened cards and since there is only 2 numbers in between, I don't get to bet on the money and turn goes to next player. If i get Ace and King, that's mean I have 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q, 11 numbers in between which is the best open card combo one could get. Let say I bet all the money in the pool, which means rm 8, I will win all if i get any numbers from 2-Q. However, If I get the number Ace or King, I will have to pay double the money to the pool, which is rm 16, and the size of the money pool will increase to rm 24. When everyone had their turn, the game proceed to next round with any leftover money plus every player placing bet into it again. We choose not to place the bet again this year due to the 'fear factor' of the game. Chun was the highest double payer last year, which is around rm 100+. (hahahahhahaa....)

'eddie' 's fear factor is lesser and it gives the banker a good chance to make a lot of money. Here's how the game works, each players get 1 card including banker and there is also one opened card out there. Player will have to add up the number on the open card and the card player holding and see the sum you get. (J,Q,K count as 10) Only the last digit of the added sum is taken with sum of 10 counted as 'burst', so we have 1-9 with 9 being the maximum number you could get. (with the exception of triple picture cards, I will explain later) Each player get to add 1 card if they are not satisfy with their sum, 3 cards will then be added for a new sum. (could be a lower sum!)

Example : Card opened is 9, I get a 5, so my sum will be 14, hence 4 is my number. If banker number is greater than 4, I lose, otherwise I win. I can choose to add an extra card, let say if I get a 10 then my sum unchanged, If i get a 8 then my new sum will be 2, which is even lower!
Card opened is 9, I get a 9 so my number is 8, if the banker can't beat me, he will have to pay me double, vice versa.
Card opened is 9 and I get 10/J/Q/K, so my number is 9, If banker can't beat me then he will have to pay me triple, vice versa.
Card opened is picture card ( J Q or K), I get another picture card, my sum is 0 and I will add an extra card for sure. If i get another picture card, which means I have 3 pictures in hand now, then the banker have to pay me quadruple if he couldn't get 3 picture cards.

Here's the thing, when banker get either 8,9 or 3 pictures, every player will have to pay him double, triple or quadruple if they couldn't win or draw with the banker. In the case of 3 pictures, a rm 2 bet will become rm 8, rm 10 bet will become rm 40!!! Very nice profit !!

Ok enough about these 2 games, at the end of the night, we had a small taste of our revenge! The next day we went to have seafood lunch at sitiawan and we were cheated!! ('chop vege head') The dishes taste ok but there really weren't any expansive seafood ( no crab! no big fish and big prawn!) on the table and it costs rm 230!!!

We are on soccernet headlines! LOL

What a surprise, I just saw this yesterday night, we made headlines on soccernet woooo~~~ . In the report, it seem we are to bring in Ian Rush,ex-Liverpool great players, 'to solve the country goalscoring problem'.

From Soccernet :
"Khairy Jamaluddin, deputy president of the Football Association of Malaysia, told local media that Malaysia were struggling because of their poor quality strikers."

Yay, 'Malaysia Boleh'..not...Soccer is a team game, placing the blame solely on the striker is stupid. When your team don't score, it could be the strikers, but it could also be the midfielders because they can't create chance for the strikers up front!!!!!

So what do our FA think Mr. Rush can achieve here? Trains a world class striker like Henry, Ronaldo, Drogba etc? What do you think those world class striker can do if no one feed the ball to them?? I have a better suggestion to be honest, how about send them to shaolin to learn kungfu huh!!!! YAY!!!
I guess the FA think as long as we score, it's 'Boleh' already, aiya..bolehland mah, apa tak boleh right? As long as we scored, it doesn't matter the opposition score 10 or 100 goals on us! I felt that the money would be better spent if we used it on the training youth or raising the wages on our professional etc. But of course this is bolehland, it's bolehland culture, just like we send people to the space for no obvious reason.

Anyway, enough of local soccer. All eyes will be on Capello tonight. Could Capello be the England savior? We shall see. :)

Happy Chinese New Year 2008!!

'Pig' is leaving and 'Rat' is coming! I wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year

and..

祝您在2008年全年里有

"鼠"不尽的快乐~
"鼠"不尽的收获~
"鼠"不尽的好运~
"鼠"不尽的笑容~
"鼠"不尽的幸福~
"鼠"不尽的钞票~

新年快乐。。。恭喜恭喜 ^^

I finally cleaned my house/room and the feeling is so nice, especially when I didn't clean my room for sometime already, hehehe, there were so many junks! One thing I hate about chinese new year is, Ipoh become so crowded and traffic jam everywhere! Ipoh just don't have the capacity to hold some many vehicles!

P/S : To all the people that going to drive back home, please drive carefully and have a safe journey!

EPL 07/08

Another week gone and Arsenal manage to climb back to the top spot. After 3 years of dull epl, we finally get an interesting season this year. During the past 3 years, the top team pulled off too early, and the gap is absolutely smaller for this year. 13 games to go and it is yet to say who will be the champion.

Although I am an Arsenal supporter, I got this feeling that they might crack down later on and Man Utd will retain the title after all ; I guess the reason for me not believing them is that the young gunners haven't achieved any titles yet, unlike their arch rival which proved they could do it last season. However, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea are the title contenders for now, with Chelsea having the slightest chance. Fergie has yet to use his 'jedi mind trick' on the gunners, I guess we can expect a dramatic and controversial top of the table clash between Arsenal and Man Utd this year. (Perhaps something like vierra vs nistelrooy ^.^ )

The battle for the last spot to European football is fierce as well. We suddenly have a lot more contenders than before, and Liverpool being one of them. Other teams that still have the chance to fight for 4th spot are Everton, Aston Villa, Man City, Blackburn and Portsmouth. With the kind of team that Liverpool has, they shouldn't have any problem getting the last spot in my opinion, even though their performance are abit inconsistence lately. Eventually thing will settle down and the players can focus more on their game instead of on Rafa and their American owner.

Lastly, I will say Derby look certain to relegate this year and I hope Sunderland get relegated as well because I dont like roy keane :)

Go Gunners!
