Something Serious

Hey, it's been some time!

No time for such greetings, though, here's something serious:

Mobile Phone Numbers To Be In 11 Digits

If you need clarification on the 3 + 7 system, it's something like:

012 - xxx xxxx

Singapore's mobile and house numbers have only 8 digits!
Which is bad, 'cos this will affect those with poor memory.

I wonder how will they do it, though.

Comprehensive Analysis of Mobile Phone Survey

Which mobile phone do you use?
The tribe has voted: Nokia is the winner with 4 votes; SE 2nd with 3 votes; then Motorola 1; others 2.

So now it's time to review this results. First we must ask Nokia to pay Puh-Leez some ads fees as we promote their brand.

I must say this results does not reflect the truth at all. Why? because too many people using Sony Ericsson are too shy to click to vote. And Nokia users are generally exhilarated when they see "N-O-K-I-A" and just voted. If I were to change the survey to "Which HP you hate the most?", Nokia users will vote without looking at the question.

And with so little people voting (esp lack of votes from SE users), the survey represents nothing but just a decoration for the blog.

It also seems like Nokia representative was voting the crucial 4th vote that makes it ranked top. The name of the Nokia representive is to be kept confidential with the fear of revenge from Motorola fans.

Samsung and LG users are sleeping all the time so there's no vote casted for the brands. If they were awake they never read Puh-Leez because they are samseng and think Life's Good.

There are 2 votes for other brands which I can't think of any good one...
I think they confused between HandPhone and Telekom phone. They must think their Telekom home phone is hand phone because they use their hands to pick up the phone.

The end of an unbiased analysis.

Ann Arbor is Suddenly Amazing in Summer

But wait. Where is Ann Arbor?

I remember overhearing a conversation not too long ago between a lil kid and his brother/friend on a bus to a mall in Ann Arbor.

Kid: Is Briarwood Mall the largest mall in the States?

Kid's brother: No, but it is the largest in Ann Arbor.

Kid: But it only has one floor.

Kid's brother: You know what? The largest mall in the States might just be flat out.

Kid: But doesn't that waste a lot of space?

Kid's brother: *laughs* I don't think we have to worry about that, there are plenty of space in the world.

Lol. Don't kids say the dandiest things? For one, I do think Briarwood Mall and basically malls in Ann Arbor are very space inefficient. I think luas permukaan wise, Briarwood Mall is probably bigger than our Pavillion. But if we could stack Briarwood Mall up with the base luas permukaan of Pavillion, it probably would only make up 2 stories of Pavillion. But heck, Briarwood is the best mall Ann Arbor has to offer. And it wasn't even half as amazing as Pavillion. But Briarwood is probably all the way up there on the list of the few most awesome places to hang out in Ann Arbor. If that doesn't reek desperation of a more city life than here, I don't know what does.

Well this is Ann Arbor, a more modern than kampung city and a slower than city kampung, in the states of Mc Chicken Michigan, US. Hah! But the extra slow life is only a chapter from winter.

Summer however, totally shook the last bit of un-awesome Ann Arbor impression out of me. Because Ann Arbor is now suddenly extra vibrant with flowers, Summer Fest, gigs, parties, Art FAIR and more!


I truly love Summer Fest! It was what summer is about.


The park was lively with folks chilling out, watching live performances, chatting away. And people would just lie down on the grass and enjoy the night sky. Ann Arbor probably is one of the few places with the least air or light pollution, so the night sky would be painted with thousands of stars. Truly a breathtaking scene.





But what I like most about Summer Fest was the movie nights! Every night at 10pm they will inflate a huge balloon screen in the open air to show a movie. I love lying on the grass in the mildly chilly night and enjoy the movie with everyone else in the park.


They showed a huge range of movies, from the classic Wizard of Oz, to comedy Blades of Glory, to the uberly popular Juno, and even Jet Li's Fearless. I was delighted when they were showing Fearless because it was one of my favoritest movies. I think the Americans were able to appreciate Fearless too. Also, Americans love Juno and Wizard of Oz! They were able to sing along to lines in Wizard of Oz, they cheer when the villain died, and were able to remember the lines of the characters by heart. And I think the crowd turned out that day on Juno showing was self explanatory.


But the fun was fleeting. Summer Fest was over in a blink. But the good thing is, it was quickly replaced with Ann Arbor annual art fair.


Just exactly how amazing is Ann Arbor art fair? Well for starters, Ann Arbor fair was nominated each year as the top 10 best fairs in the whole of US. And it even won the #1 best fair in US in several years.

It was certainly huge. I walked the Art Fair a day and more and only covered 90% of the art fair. This time, the art fair featured over 1000 artists. All the artists around the States came together to display and sell their work under this event.




Even though Ann Arbor was burning in the first few days of the Art Fair, it didn't purge the crowd out of the streets. In fact, the sun set an inferno on the street, burning was the enthusiasm of the crowd and the artists, all for the appreciation of art. If you think I'm exaggerating about the heat, well I'm not! The heat on the first day alone sent more than 40 people from the street to the University of Michigan hospital's emergency.


Now, let's look at some pics I took on the day.


Besides arts, there are also food!

Corn dogs and Elephant Ears! Does that make your tummy worms growl?

This stall has waaay too many words over it.

Beside food, there are also gigs and performances!

These guys are amazing live! The band feed the crowd with a line "I can fall alone if only I can fall away", and everone sing along with the band when the chorus came. I don't know if that line makes any sense, but it sure was very catchy.

Check out this truck! It's a moving house. It's probably a truck that some artists used to travelled miles to here.

Ok, there's food, performances, cute truck. What about the art fair?

Unfortunately I didn't take many pics of the art displayed on the fair for several reasons. First, I was told by one of the artists that I should ask permission from them before taking pics. And I think she's right. It's probably quite rude to snaps pics at their works without asking. Second, I don't think I'd be able to enjoy the fair as much if I keep taking pics. Plus, there are tons of booths I need to visit, so taking pics would take a huge chunk of time out of it. But out of the few pics I did take, here are some interesting ones.

I love this! If I ever gonna own a yum cha restaurant, think this would make good ornaments in it.

I like this too! It's so nifty and cute.

I like the structure of this piece. The motive reminds me of ancient Malay art, like those of Wau's.

This booth's artist was the one who told me I should ask permission before snapping any pic. I made a point to remember her name and credit her work on here. She's Alison Fox. And I think her work is awesome too. That's why I take the pics in the first place.

Ah, and then there was this place where I like most. These booths were kinda hidden and were slitted into the nooks and crannies between houses.

Between the houses

More arts!

This piece captured a lot of attention from passers-by. It is incredibly real, esp the eyes!

And this one, I purposely cropped this pic down to its frame. Because this is one of the few arts that really stood out for me. I love this piece a lot. It's from the artist Hussein Saidi. I spent a long time there admiring the details of this work. I love the vibe of this pic, I like the color, and the details of it. You really had to be there to truly appreciate this piece. It must have lost at least half of its beauty through my camera lens though.

There was another piece that left a deep impression on me. It was one that was drawn about a snowing night on the street. It shows the dim light of the street lamp and the blurred by snow headlight of a car. It captured exactly the feel of my first winter night here. The kind of loneliness on the street of a winter night, and how I would appreciate the warmness in a house.


So that was art fair! I asked some of my friends what they think about the fair, and this is what they said.

Friend A: The art fair is artistic. (i.e the fair itself is artistic)

Friend B: I expected more sales in the fair.

Friend C: I finished walking the fair in 15 minutes.


Ok, so that's what they think. Here's my 5 cents about the fair.



I think, overall the art fair was really overwhelming. There were way too many masterpieces on display. Some stood out more than the rest. I was also awestruck by the creativeness of the artists. Almost every booth is distinctive on its own. From the materials they use, to what they create and how they create it, they are all very creative. I mean how can anyone thought of using some people perceived as junk like sawdust to create wonderful pieces of arts?

But of course there are ought to be some bad arts too. Some were trying to go on the creative line and just stick a few things together. An it turned out to be really horrible mash-ups. Truly hideous. There were some lazy pieces too. Some if you look closely, are really coarse and looks unfinished. But in the name of arts, they were sold for ridiculous price.



Talking about price, I think a lot people complained that the arts are pricey. I think most of the price are quite reasonable though.


There are a few works that I thought were even underpriced. If we think about it, some pieces takes weeks or even months to complete. Of course these efforts deserve good prices. I think a point a lot of people were missing is that, arts ARE these artists job. Let's say if an average person earns $1500 a month. And let's say if an artists were able to produce three pieces of work on average each month. Then for these artists to earn the same salary as an average person, each piece of work would have to be priced at least $500. Now it doesn't sound like these artists are making a huuuge fortune out of their arts eh? In fact, most of them earn less than an average person.

Anyway, I bought some affordable (for me) arts from the fair too =). I probably would have bought more if the art fair was held last month. That was my pre-bankrupt era.

Now the art fair is over, the streets in Ann Arbor are quiet again. Some of the residents here were probably relieved that it's over too cos some years back, they actually protested against this event with the slogan "It's not art, and it's not fair." LOL.

So, that was Summer in Ann Arbor. I hope Fall is just as great as Summer here =D.

And lastly, here's a pic of my attempt at promoting Ann Arbor:

A phone will do...

What will we do with our mobile phone a.k.a. hand-phone a.k.a. handset? Calling and sms-ing only? That's so 90's. Today's mobile phone is more than a mobile phone; it's everything...

Many people are using Nokia because it's like a Nokia and it's reliable. But I never like Nokia for its so Nokia-ish design that's not my flavor. So I choose Sony Ericsson. believe or not, I'm only having a mobile phone during Form 6! wah, so out...with k700i

Oh back to topic! What can a mobile phone do? oh it can let me call you, receive sms with only "ok", take photos, be my alarm clock, be my iPod, be my calendar, replace my watch, play some game when lecture too bored, torch light, online to check facebook etc etc...really, I don't wear watch, have no alarm clock, no camera, no iPod, no Zune, no calender, no PSP, no torch light, because I have a SE K850i.
So I would recommend it as it's the most unique and beautiful mobile phone out there. With its 5.0 mega pixels Sony Cyber Shot camera, you can snap photo like using a normal camera. To be truth, its photo quality can't be compared to those taken with a real 5MP camera but it's sufficient. It's like a camera with easy button switching between photo shot, video shot and album viewing. Oh it has xenon flash also. And with its dedicated on/off button. It's just like a camera with more buttons than normal camera :)

It also has a Sony Walkman style Media Center which let you view your photos, listen to music and watch videos. With its accelerometer, when you tilt your phone from vertical to horizontal (or other way) the screen will auto adjust itself. Nice. Since it equiped with accelerometer, you can also play 3D Game that using accelerometer to control the movement, just by turning your phone to control without using keypad.

Moreover, it's a 3G/ 3.5G phone that make your online experience better. One thing that I like is its battery life. With normal usage it can last up to 1 week compared to a pathetic Nokia that always has poor battery life. (I have a Nokia 5300 but it's sleeping in the drawer waiting to be deported back to Malaysia)

Oh! you can use the phone to remote control your Power Point presentation and even media player on your PC with bluetooth.

And it's a phone that's easy to use.

My rating: 9.188/10

All in all, a phone will do...

When a Malaysian Meets a Mat Salleh

Mat Salleh: Hey!

Malaysian: Hey!

Mat Salleh: Where are you from?

Malaysian: Malaysia.

Mat Salleh: Is that beside Beijing?

Malaysian: ....

Mat Salleh: Oh. It's beside Tokyo then?

Malaysian: No. Malaysia is the capital of The Phillipines. Besides Taiwan.

Mat Salleh: I see. Are there a lot of trees there?

Malaysian: Yes.

Mat Salleh: Do you live on trees then?

Malaysian: Err.. no. I live in caves.

Mat Salleh: Oh. Then you eat worms.

Malaysian:

A story of...

Are you looking at me?

you don't know who am I?

Then I'm going to tell you a story; a story of the baby.

Once upon a time in a far far away land, a baby boy is born. So the baby opens his eyes and see the beautiful world. Oh must mention his mother is beautiful and his father is handsome...

So the baby is growing very fast. Now the story of baby ended!

Now it's the story of the grown-up baby. He went to school and read some books and meet some friends. And the story of grown-up baby ended.

A new story started with the grown-up-and-tall baby. And the story ended when you finished reading this post...

Funky Shelf: The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night-Time

Esprit gave this book to me as a farewell gift and I thought it'll be a good read because I like the cover and the title of the book.

I turned a few pages, and there were already plenty of things that captured my attention. First was the chapter numbering, which uses prime numbers and was really creative. Second was the book was written from the perspective of a kid with Asperger's syndrome, which made the writing random, captivating and awkwardly humorous. Also, there are pictures and diagrams in the book too, which are cute and interesting. There are also some cool facts and a few mind-straining math problem in it. One of which I will address in my next post ;).

I thought Christopher (the main character) was cute, but he could be really annoying too which made me sympathize his father. And then there's also Siobhan, whom I like a lot. She knows best and she rocks!

I thought the book is almost like a guidebook of 'how to become a genius'. In parts it was almost unrealistic that how a young boy could think in such an intricate way. But it did help me gain an insight of the mind of a person with Asperger's syndrome. Christopher was the second person I've seen to have this syndrome. The first person was Heather from ANTM lol. Still, these are too few cases to generalize how people with Asperger's syndrome are. Also, I think this is the reason why Christopher is annoying even though he probably could not help it. He was too logical and emotionally detached that it made me wanna whack him in his S. But he probably already stabbed me to death with his Swiss army knife before I did that lol.

There's also another thing I find confusing in the book. It was the lack of a clear theme in the story, or perhaps there were a few. I think it was pretty clear at the end of the book that the book isn't really that much about the dog after all. Also, I thought the book got a bit boring towards the end, but that's probably because half of the book's goal was achieved halfway through the book. (I'm trying to avoid spoiling you here lol)

I think this is overall a refreshing read. Wryly humorous in parts and inspiring too, in some ways.

And so funky book worm Kremlin Dusk dictates that this book deserves a:

[7.5/10! ]

Puh-leez is dead, but not quite.

Puh-leez had been dead for longer than it existed, which is wrong. So I'm gonna try to fix this error.

You might (or might not) be wondering what had puh-leez been up to? Well, we (the writers) are all college students and had been busy with college, assignments and life, hence the lack of no update. But then again, that's just a nicer way of saying that I'm lazy.

But I miss blogging on here. So now in my last few hours (4 to be exact) of holidays before I start my new sem and classes again. I'll try to revamp the blog a bit and start anew.

Also, in an attempt to revive the almost, if not already dead blog, there will be another new writer on the line - waikhong. He's a witty blogger with plenty of thoughts to share. So stay tune for what he gotta say on puh-leez.

When Time Stops in KL! Freeezeeee!

Time stops in the busiest town in Malaysia!

A moment of reflection.

A moment of silence.

And a moment of fun!!!

How cool!

It's happpening tomorrow.. If you have no idea what I'm talking about. It's the "KL Freeze in Unison" hosted by UNITED COLORS of Malaysia, an initiative started by ImprovEverywhere that also hosted a few other cool events.

As the name KL Freeze in Unison suggests, thousands of people will freeze in unison at the same place at the same time for about 5 minutes. The gathering point was just revealed yesterday. It is to be held at Lot 10 shopping complex. So I'm guessing the freeze will be somewhere nearby. I'm predicting it to be in front of Pavillion! haha.. It'll be a big freeze! I wish I could join >_<..

Also watch this New York freeze video and how the passers-by react. Gold.

A Season to be Jolly Spend Money

The holidays are fast approaching, and everyone's flocking to the shopping malls to do their Christmas shopping - for their family and friends, or for some stupid lucky draw/Secret Santa games that they are forced to join.

The shopping malls are beautifully decorated with Christmas trees that do not only come in green - some are purple, black, red, pink, blue, yellow, blah blah blah...

Some are thin and tall, while some are short and stout... (I mean the Christmas trees, you freaks... =_=")


So is Christmas too commercialized nowadays?
With people getting more and more materialistic, and marketers introducing newer and better products, it is hard not to want anything for Christmas. (Remember to check out my wishlist at the end of this post, just in case you're feeling generous). And with your company or groups of friends who insist on having those stupid lucky draw/Secret Santa games, there is no way for you not to spend during Christmas. And everywhere you go, those stupid shopping centres just can't leave their walls and pillars and lobbies free from those annoyingly colourful Christmas trees and ornaments that seem to serve just one purpose - get you in the mood to spend money! And the departmental stores just can't seem to play any other music but Jingle Bells and Joy to the World, which I strongly believe, serves no other purpose than to make you feel like entering their premises and spend...

even...

more...

money.


So does Christmas still mean anything?
Obviously it still does. Besides the celebration of the birth of Christ, Christmas is a season for family and friends to get together and renew bonds, etc. etc. And to spend money, of course! After all, what's Christmas without presents... XP

The Wishlist
Ok guys... Let's have some fun! Post 3 wishes in each of the following categories respectively...
1) Your logical wishes (fulfill-able wishes like a new book, or a new perfume)
2) Your wildest dreams (like obtaining superpowers!)
3) You wishes for the good of mankind, ala pageant contestants ("I wish for world peace!")

Ok... here I go...
My logical wishes

• A one-year subscription for my DeviantART account... If you're willing to give me more, I don't mind! XD
• Go to Paris next year
• Healthy and happy family members and friends... =)
  

My wildest dreams

• The power to control time! I need more time!!!
• The power to make mean people disappear... POOF!!! Nyahahahahaha!!!
• The power to travel to anywhere I want in seconds! (Something like what Paige from Charmed has)
  

My wishes for the good of mankind

• I want everyone to stop abusing animals
• I want people to donate more to SPCA in order to help reduce the amount of innocent animals that have to be put to sleep every year... ='(
• I want all children around the world to receive sufficient food, education, and have satisfactory quality of life.
  

Now it's your turn! You can either post them in your own blog, or post them as a comment here. Or both. After all, I'm sure you want your wishlist to be seen by as many people as possible, right? Heheh... XD
You never know when a generous passer-by will read your wishlist and make your wishes come true! XD

Land of Shopping, Food, and Natural Wonders

A bit late, due to internship and a faulty computer...

Anyway, some time last month during the Aidilfitri holidays, my family and I went to Taiwan for holiday. For convenience purposes, we chose a tour complete with the tour guide, coach, accommodation, food, admission tickets, etc. all covered. It was a 5-days-6-nights holiday around the whole island.

I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Mother Nature at Her best...


Wild wild wind...
Some fantastic rock formations in Yeliu. Weather was good, and the grass seemed to agree with me too!


Coming Ashore...
More beautiful rocks... They actually look like they're coming ashore, don't they?


Her Royal Highness the Queen!
One of the must-sees in Yeliu, this majestic rock formation is just one of the many natural wonders of Taiwan. She looks just like Nefertiti, doesn't she?


Cinderella's Slipper
Another of the must-see in Yeliu, the Cinderella's Slipper rock is oddly shaped like a slipper.


The Jetty at Sun Moon Lake
Surrounded by lush green mountains, Sun Moon Lake is the largest natural lake in Taiwan.


Picturesque
A breathtaking view of Sun Moon Lake


Little Blue Boat
I'm in love with Sun Moon Lake! Probably the most beautiful place in the whole of Taiwan!


Stairway to Paradise
A park near Sun Moon Lake


Solitude
A little temple well hidden among the greenery


Tranquility
Another beautiful lake near a Buddhist temple


Shopping and Food Paradise
Taiwan is a shopping haven, regardless of your age, gender, or income level. There's just something for everyone!

Besides shopping, Taiwan is all about food, food, glorious food! From street food to fine dining to fast food, there's just too much to eat! On the contrary, the food provided by the tour sux! =(
Unfortunately, I was unable to snap piccies of street food due to the fact that we gobbled it down before I could pull my camera out. But the following is still noteworthy food... ^^


Really Yummy Steamboat... ^^ See that bunny in there? XD



Frogspawn... Nah, JK... It's some sort of herbal drink, which I didn't want to taste, due to the fact that it resembles frogspawn... Eeew... But according to my bro, it tasted good...

My apologies for the sucky photos... I'm a really horrible food photographer... ^^"


Shilin Night Market is a place to find loads of good food!!! A good place for shopping too!
Image (c) Wikipedia


Historically Abundant


The Jade Cabbage
Apparently, this "cabbage" is one of Taiwan's most valuable historical treasure...


The Meat
Along with the "Cabbage", this piece of "Meat" is one of the treasures stored in the National Taiwan Museum, the second most visited museum in the world after the Louvre.


Magnificent Architecture


Taipei 101
Standing at 509.2 metres, the Taipei 101 is tallest building in the world!



Kuan Yin on a Dragon
This temple is one of the most amazing temples I've seen! The dragon mouth is the entrance to the temple. Inside the dragon's body are beautiful Buddhism-related paintings. Visitors enter the temple through the dragon's mouth and exit from the tail.

Culturally Diverse


Besides Han Chinese, Taiwan is populated by aborigines. In fact, Taiwan's most popular artiste, A-Mei is born into the Puyuma clan of the Bunun tribe.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Overall, the trip was, unfortunately, not exactly fun for me, due to the extremely hectic schedule and the lack of time for proper shopping. =( Morning call was painfully early, and the road trips were horribly exhausting due to the bumpy roads after the typhoon.

However, we are planning to return someday... to see the Sun Moon Lake again... =)

Puh-Leez Have Your Say #3 - Exams and Results from Poll #2!

Heyloz!

Sorry for the super late update...here's the poll results for the second topic (in percentage):

The rotiz! - 47
Kuih Melayu - 15
Chinese 'kuih' - 42
Ayam Percik, ayam masak merah... - 21
Nasi Lemak - 42
Bak Kut Teh - 36
Satay - 36
Rojak - 26
Ipoh delicacies - 26
Penang delights - 63
Local fruits - 26
Family cooking - 42
Others - 5
Bread & butter - 5
On diet - 0

There were nineteen (19) votes altogether.

BTW, this poll allowed for multiple choices, thus this was the reason for percentages.

----------------------------

Most of us will be in a tight schedule at this moment...SPM, STPM, college exams, revision sessions, extra classes, intensive courses; name anything, you'll have it. This is also the cause of sicknesses, headaches, panda eyes, and most of all burning the midnight oil to prepare for these.
In the end, it's all down to one issue: Final examinations.

Will you do well and score with flying colours?
Or you'll get yourself into the doldrums?
One way or the other, it's the results that count.

In the wake of this, the next discussion topic will be on...yup, exams!

Malaysia has been using this method since the olden times, and is still relevant until today. To date, it has produced many students who are highly knowledgeable. However, this could restrain some students from showing their true colours.

Therefore:

" Should examinations be retained as the method to evaluate performance? "

Have a go at it!

Grammatically Wrong

I've noticed this sometime ago, but didn't really bother about it. But just recently, I thought maybe I could fix the error.


Ever notice this under the blog entries?
1 comments | leave your comments here

Comments: That's like Ayumi saying "Are you wake up? Are you wake up? Are you wake up?" LOL..


Anyway, I modified it a bit to make it more grammatically sound ('',)

What would you do when you're bored in McD?

Do you order more fries to eat?

Do you refill your drink until your kidney can't take it anymore? XD

Or do you like me, waste your time vandalising McD?

Vandalising? Haha yep, it's vandalism with a touch of creativity! XP

Now let's see what we need for this!

Ingredients:

1. Paper that comes along with your food, it's on the tray with your food.
2. Creamer.
3. And.. sauce (chilli or tomato, up to you la..)
4. And.. pepper..
5. Others [eg. Fries.. pickles.. cucumber (cucumber for vandalising purpose only k?) .. etc]

---------


Ok let's start shall we?

In the beginning, there was this:

25 years of great strength!

Wait.. ZoooOOM In!

Hmm.. Erm.. Well.. Erm..

I think this guy needs a makeover! Agree?

Wahahaha~

Stage 1: What about some Garnier whitening?? XD

Oh oops.. overshot a bit already, too fair.

Only conteng one of them, not fair.

Hmm.. Ok fine lo..

Haha.. The rest aren't that artistic la XP

-------

So the lesson is::

Do not put these great personalities on the papers McD! Even if we don't conteng them, drinks or food also will spill on them! Haih haih why degrade them on these papers? It's better to put your 24 hour McD's "moon mascot" on the paper!

Anyway folks, next time when you're bored in McD you know what you can do ya? Haha.. Just kidding la.. Don't do it!! Make the waiter/waitress lives miserable only.. Erm..

Puh-leez Have Your Say #2: Food, glorious food! We worship you food!!!

Well, for the first poll we had, it was quite well received. We've gotten 16 votes from the puh-leezers, and here's what the puh-leezers think!

--------------------------------

Malaysia is celebrating its 50th anniversary of Merdeka, what do you think?

What more can we ask? 50 years of peacefulness and harmony- 6
Look how far we've come..... - 8
Wrap the house with Jalur Gemilangs - 0
Umm, celebrate Merdeka? Celebrate my birthday better la - 0
Really, 50 years already meh? - 1
Oh puh-leez! Celebrating our country going backwards? - 2
You try to make me go to rehab but I say no nO NO! - 2

Yep, the puh-leezers had spoken, and we think that:

Look how far we've come and the achievements we made along it! Let's hope for another 50 years of glory!

Win RM15,000!

I'm disgusted. Really disgusted.
Would you hurt innocent beings in order to be 15k richer?

Today, I read a news article about how the Selangor Municipal Council (MPS) is organizing a contest. And it's not just any contest. It's a stray dog hunting contest.

The winner needs to catch up to 150 stray dogs in order to win RM15k. The second and third place get 13k and 11k respectively. And the MPS will provide the necessary tools for residents to participate in the contest. And remember to send in photographs of the dogs that you caught. Oh, and you'll get RM2o per dog caught.

WHERE THE HELL IS HUMANITY??????

And here we are talking about achieving Vision 2020... When those in power are using such inhumane and uncivilized ways to get rid of problems.

Here's the article from the Star:

RM15,000 for dog catching

KUALA LUMPUR: Catch more than 150 stray dogs within six months and you might just win at least RM11,000.

This competition was announced by the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) recently to solve the stray dog problem in the area.

It is open to residents.

However, the dog-catching competition drew a lot of flak from animal lovers and pet owners who described the move as inhumane and distasteful.

Council president Zainal Abidin Azim said the competition was introduced as it received about 80 complaints about stray dogs every month.

He said that despite catching about 200 stray dogs every month as part of their animal control management, the problem remained unsolved.

The chairman of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Selangor (SPCA), Christine Chin, said that the MPS was setting an unhealthy and unethical trend that encouraged people to perceive dog-catching as fun and financially rewarding.

Chin questioned the methods that residents might resort to, which could cause unnecessary pain and suffering if the dogs were maimed in the process.

Spokesman for non-governmental group Furry Friends Sabrina Yeap said that MPS should use the reward money to engage professional dog-catchers instead of relying on residents who were not trained to nab stray dogs.

Under the rules of the competition, residents can work with their respective resident committees or any other organisation, but must deliver the dogs alive.

Photographs of the captured dogs are to be submitted as proof and the council will provide tools for those interested in taking part in the competition.

The first-prize winner will walk home with RM15,000; the runner-up RM13,000 while the third -placed winner will win RM11,000.

The minimum capture for the top three winners must be at least 150 dogs each.

Each month, the council pays RM20 for each stray dog caught as an incentive to the dog-catchers.

hunger-related causes.

More than 11 million children die each year from preventable diseases.

Still having hesitation to donate? That's because you haven't watch this video. It's very sad, at a point of the video, I cried watching it.

Still thinking that it's better to donate the money to your fat than these children?

Well, just remember that the next time when you devour your oversized Big Mac, another child is dying of hunger.
