Everyone Needs Somebody .... May 08, 2009

Just wanted to share this video clip of a song that never fails to get me singing along ... And the fact of the matter is everyone needs somebody to stand by them ...

If any of us lives in the false security that we are like solitary islands - think again you will realise that many instances exist when someone has stood by you through thick and thin.

Even though many times I've felt I was alone, I've not really been alone - thankfully too :))

Enjoy the clip and have a lovely weekend ... I'm recovering after another court trip where I remain incredulous at the audacity of some people ... and then it made me so sick I started burning up with a fever, feeling nauseous and at one point thought I was having a heart attack - now thankfully I didn't, but imagine the consequences if I had ...

Slept the whole day and feeling a little better now although the BP read 148/100 - not good really really not good!! Here's to feeling better in the morning ...

All That Brouhaha Over English... May 08, 2009

This picture speaks a million words ... I guess the fellow in the mosque who took this must have found the words rather funny if not inappropriate to be worn in a mosque for prayers ....

Kinda be like someone walking into the temple or church or synagogue with that t-shirt - only the understanding of English would have made that person think twice before going ahead and wearing it.

But it goes to prove how poor the grasp of English is amongst Malay(sians) that this was thought to be appropriate to be worn into a mosque - I wonder if the person next to this character even understood what the words meant ...

All I can do is to try not to laugh at the blatant stupidity of the clowns who think teaching subjects like Science and Math in English is wrong especially when the wealth of information on the net for these 2 subjects is mostly in English.

Perhaps their real fear is that if Malay(sians) become proficient in English then we might be able to understand how the world views all the idiosyncrasies of this country and that all our la la bolehland bullshit veil will be torn from our eyes and we will all see the sores and blisters and puss hidden by our very controlled media.

But to the moron in this picture, next time when you buy a T-shirt find out what the words mean first and then decide the appropriateness of it.

tsk tsk tsk ... quite rib tickling!
