Why I'm unmarried.


Some friends asked me when I’m getting married & ending my single life. My answers would varied because I’m not that really sure of the reason(s) itself.

But lately I’m beginning to face my own fears, my own questionable beliefs and my own insecurities. And I found out that the answer to that was something quite simple.

I just couldn’t find somebody I actually need or may I say, somebody who have a matching needs. Somebody who could fulfill my needs as I could in turn fulfill his…or hers.

Argh…Too much of Ellen/Portia and Lindsay/Samantha filling up my head, not forgetting the catchy Katy Perry song ‘I kissed a girl’. I’m not hiding in any closet but I think I still liked men better…or not…Geh!

Okay, back to the original topic.

Somebody I need. Somebody I could see myself sitting around with at the age of eighty. Me, wrinkly and maybe lost a few tooth. Walked a little slower. Smiled a bit wider. Lost my memory a bit faster. And that somebody who accepted old age with grace together.

Wishful thinking, maybe.

But I believe if you can’t see yourself growing old with somebody then you’re probably should not take the plunge with that person. You might end up in a pit alone by yourself.

Yeah, some may say that you can easily climbed out and give it another shot. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. Then again, if you just don’t learn, you might end up being the next Elisabeth Taylor with a divorced husband number eight.

And since when this article talked about ‘You’. All I want to talk about is ‘Me’. Yep, selfish me.

The only person I ever thought of growing old with is my own best friend. And no, it’s not the “I kissed a girl” syndrome. It’s more like the ‘Wassup’ beer ads.

That’s my idea of growing old gracefully.

Anwar Ibrahim; history repeated.

Just when the Malaysian public are being fired up about rising oil prices, Datin Rosmah allegedly involvement in Altantuya murder and somewhere in the world a car was designed to run on water....a young handsome man by the name of Saiful Bahari made a police report that he was sodomized by the former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim.

When this scandal of all scandal came up, I wanted to put my two cents on it based on what I know of what had happened in 1997. But I paused my fingers on the keyboard as I reflect deeper into my thoughts.

During those time internet was not as handy as it is now. My info back then were based on the mainstream media, contradictory discussion from those who are into politics & the West Malaysian MARA students who were big supporters of Anwar.

So I thought I should go back in time to look into the trial. Found this set of video by Foreign Correspondent that shed a different light into the matter.



I don't like Anwar. I still don't. As far as the stories of his bisexuality goes it had been circulating years before 1997. Whereby it was known that the Tan Sri always request a special service after having his hair cut done.

Then again it was still unproven khabar khabar angin (words in the wind?)

Then again a person private life shouldn't be the thing to judge a leader of a country. Shouldn't it?

Churchill was known to be a crook and Hitler was known to be a clean cut man.

Still I do think, unless somebody can convince me otherwise, that Anwar is a strategist, an opportunist and a selfish politician.

Kinda remind me of an old guy who approved the Petronas Twin Tower.

And somewhere in the world a Japanese guy in dark clean suit, sitting on a rather sturdy white wooden chair, waiting patiently for approval on a patent of his car engine that runs on water.

The politically correct car

Recently in the news, Proton stated that they are interested in manufacturing an Islamic car. I have no ideas what that suppose to mean. So let me suggest some more cars Proton could produce.

A Muslim car - A car that have special Qiblat compass & an alarm to remind drives of prayer time.

A Hindu car
- A car that can detect the aura of the driver & automatically sent out chants when driver under stress or duress...especially on traffic jam.

A Buddhist car - A car equipped with every modern tech that represent Buddha philosophy and have a guidelines on respective deities & maps of nearby temples.

A Christian car - A car that has a function similar to ABS (Breaking system) that slows or stalls the car if the driver committed any laws like illegal U turn or drive through red light. Then alarm will sound in the form of Bible verses to remind drivers who is watching even when others don't.

An atheist car - A car that will remind drivers constantly the theory of relativity,the law of gravity, inertia theory & if there is an accident a probability of a miracle is very slim.

A bad Malaysian MP car - A car that is equipped with double woofer speaker system, the best & loudest silencer, platinum rimmed tyres, latest halogen head & tail lights, police sirens & strobes and wax to the max. But inside...NOTHING.

Malaysia Can Lah!

The Monkey & The Sheikh



No, I do not think that the hot hot hot Sheikh Muzaffar is a monkey neither does he acted like one. The reason I put this photo side by side is to reflect how far had we gone since the forties in exploration of space.

"One small step for man...one big sacrifice for a monkey." AlbertI died before he reached space but 'he' was the first official primate to be launched into space with the vision to someday launch a more intelligent species. Like Sheikh.

Though I'm not sure intelligent would be right word to label those who would sacrifice another life for a bigger 'cause'. Maybe cunning would be more appropriate.

But what irked me is that those monkeys were never given any recognition for sacrificing their life. Where's the medal of honor? The flag covered coffin with bagpipes on their funeral. Or the compensation for their immediate family for the lost of a great son in the name of space explorations. Didn't anybody arranged insurance for them?

You see, how far we had gone. Nowadays our astronaut are not only bigger and smarter, they also have less hair. And we are capable of making scientific research in space. Commandeering a ship in empty space. And monkeying around in zero gravity. Which the monkey never did when they're in space. A monkey are not suppose to be monkeying around. Who the heck made that rule?

Sheikh had made Malaysia proud. I believe, contrary to all the haters out there who frowned upon our 'free gift' from Russia, that Malaysia had done a remarkable feat. Labeling Sheikh names he didn't deserved.Questioning his abilities, capabilities and whatever he was suppose to have done in space.

I'm not a silent unrequited lover here at the other side of space but neither am I a hardcore hater.

Do I adore Sheikh?

No, but he sure looked dashing enough to be adored by thousand. His clean shaven face and well shined smiles. Heck he IS a dentist. Just the type gay guys would loved to cuddle.

Would I buy his book if he wrote one? Probably not. I don't even buy Donald Trumps book. And this guy had been in 'space' with officially three gorgeous women in his lifetime.

In the near future however, space travel would not be something you have to compete for. If things really goes well Richard Branson would have his first Virgin spacecraft. Space tourist would have the chance to monkey around in zero gravity. Maybe Tony Fernandez would hop on the boat and bring Air Asia flight to space.

And we'll round up Malaysian orang utans, gorilla, chimpanzee and a couple of Big Foot from Endau Rompin. Oh yes...the gorilla would be imported and given Bumiputera status. Let them wear traditional costume and Keris for backup weapon. Sent them to space for the first primate space flight.

Maybe this time they are allowed to be themselves. Just monkeys.

And the Sheikh would just have to wait for another purchase of Sukhoi jet fighters.

Things aside, I hope Faiz would have his chance to go to space & I'm happy at least one guy manage to fulfill his dream.

Of monkeys & bananas




I wonder why monkeys are associated with bananas. In the wild, bananas are among the hardest fruit to find. Monkeys eats wild fruits or bugs or sometime themselves.

But why bananas? Why the heck we associate monkeys with bananas?!

Who started that horrendous gossip?

Sure they like bananas. They probably like pizza too.
Or Coke. Or smoking marijuana if given the chance.

But why bananas? Why can't just good old apple or cucumber? Or durians?
So instead of going bananas, we all can go durians.
