What a word !!!. I don't even know what it means let alone pronounce pla.gia.rism until an incident happened. Very recently a running and blogger friend of mine found out that there was an act of plagiarizing on one of his race report in his blog.

What does PLAGIARISM means, you may asked. Good question and click here to find out the meaning of it. Immediately he lodged a complain to the editor of the magazine and seek an explanation.

I wont say more about the incident until its proven true. More importantly is that if you have articles that you have written out of your own hard work, originality and creativity, or pictures taken by you, please copyright them and put a clause on it. This will prevent someone from copying or stealing it without your knowledge and consent.

Woman over 40

In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

If you cant beat them, JOIN THEM

Wow, even our DPM had his own website. The Q is WHY NOW??? Isnt its a bit too late. And I wont be surprise the entire BeeEnd Cabinet will start to have their own blog and website.

Anyway if you cant beat them, JOIN THEM LOR !!!! At least now he can claim I also have a website mah, cinya!!!

Mooncake Festival

Mooncake festival aka Mid-Autumn festival aka Lantern Festival was celebrated yesterday. Although it was raining it didnt dampen the hopes and spirit of my family lighting up the lanterns within the house compound.

Train At Race Pace

Train at race pace I tried, pushing myself very hard in my first 20k long run. (my first LSD after Sundown Marathon in May 2008) I think the 3 months of rest (only doing casual runs and short races) had do me good. First part of the run was ran at very easy and comfortable pace. The return leg was where I start the "Train At Race Pace" philosophy. I had adopted this during my younger days of running and came out with impressive timing. And I am adopting this again but nevertheless I will know the timing will not be as impressive but at I want to prove that it will work at my current standard. As long as I put focus in my training I think I am up for the challenge.

BN MPs off for study tour in Taiwan from today

Goto Taiwan for a study tour and of all study on agriculture, sigh !!!!. I may not be an agriculturist or an expert, but why Taiwan. Their climatic condition is so different from Malaysia and even though all these goons got their bearings right, I doubt the exposure can be put to good use since our agriculture condition is so different from Taiwan.

I hope these goons is not going there to learn about the Taiwanese kungfu perform in their Parliament !!!

Sept 11, 2001..... the day the world saw something happened that change America. This incident will always be remembered by the Americans, especially for those who were killed in the disaster.

I was stuck in Hawaii during that time and could not come back on schedule due to the closure of the Honolulu airport. It was quite devastating when I saw the incident on TV.

God Bless America !!!!

Screw Up Big Time

Whether he apologize or he dont, I think its immaterial. He had already done Pakatan Raykat a big favor. SCREW UP UMNO and Bee End Big time !!!. The more he continue to talk and hold press conferences the more damage it will be. His two bosses can apologize on his behalf and that just showed us how much control they have over their boyz.

Ahmad dude, keep on talking and you will just continue to bring the downfall of Bee End / UMNO faster !!!! He He He.......Lets see who has the last laugh.

When The Shit Hits The Fan ......

When the shit hits the fan everyone was in denial........

Dont tell me this is how the country is being run. Stand up and be counted, take responsibility and not act stupid. This was what happened when The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) acted within its rights to block access to Malaysia Today news website as advised by the gomen. Click here for detail information.

These are some remarks by our Ministers, and what strikes my curiosity was that isnt these fellars been informed when such a ruling is made by our so call Home Minister??

Deputy Energy, Water and Communications minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum said he was unaware of MCMC's actions.

"MCMC did not brief me, but they might have briefed the minister," he said, adding that minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor is currently in Bali and is expected to be back tomorrow.

Information minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said although he was aware of the action taken against Malaysia Today, noted that it does not come under his ministry's jurisdiction.

K O R U P S I

It was found out lately that all these dudes working in PUSPAKOM is taking under-counter money to make sure that vehicles are being approve without any objections for road-worthiness. ACA went after all the fellar and now a can of worms was opened and i believed there are more to come. I heard all sorts of funny things happening in PUSPAKOM, from such incidents to one that I experienced before. Do you know when you buy a second hand car and so happen it come with the tinted film installed? The standard regulation is to have it remove before the inspection but you can save the trouble of doing it by paying a runner RM300 to get it done for you. Meaning to said those fellars in PUSPAKOM will close one eye after they pocket the money. Obviously I dont encourage such corruption act and decided not to do it.

Their tagline sounds AMAZING. It shud have been Safety Begins Here With CORRUPTION. Their car inpsection license given by the gomen shud be stripped off, but anyway its a monopoly business that the gomen had embarked on. Another MALAYSIA BOLEH hiccup.












I read on the paper yesterday next on the radar screen will be JPJ. This one is an open secret liao. Everyone on the streets like Ah Lee, Ah Kow, Ah Lian, Ah Kam, Aiman, Ali, Aishah, Ainun, etc in the country knows that those fellars in this dept conducting the examination (especially on the road) is on the take. How come now only act on it. Please clean up the house before it get rotten and smelly. Its probably oredi rotten and smelly, moving into the next cycle !!!!

I am so SAD, so SAD to see these things happening. Bee End, if you want to get the confidence of the MALAYSIANs, act on it. Dont tell me you go do another post-mortem....you are just firing empty bullets. Else it will be another Permatang Pauh lesson for you. The nation had told you in the recent General Election, the ppl of Permatang Pauh had told you many more times that you can think of, what else do you want to be told.

Cinya funny video clip, enjoy it !!!

Very Inconsiderate !!!

This morning I was caught in a massive jam on the Elevated Highway from Ampang to the city. This is an unusual jam and I believed everyone was very stress up first thing in the morning facing this massive jam. While everyone was driving bump-to-bump, I was sandwiched in the lane where on my left is the entrance lane from Jalan Ampang inlet into the Elevated Highway. So in order to give way to oncoming car wanting to get to the right, I tried to change lane over to the right too (the fast lane).

I signaled to move right and I saw this Hyundai Getz (WLE 119) at the back of me doing the same thing. As I was switching to the right lane, this car coming from the back of me does not give way at all. At this time my car was already half way out in between the fast lane. What pisses me off is this driver is so inconsiderate and does not give way although I have already put out my signal and is following me from the back wanting to switch to the right lane too. I (maintain my temper) being the considerate one just dont want to force my way thru and eventually give way to this Hyundai Getz so that it be will in front of me. The last thing I wanted was an accident.

As the car was passing by I gave a stern look to the driver. To my surprise the driver was a tan skinned young lady (not sure if she is a Chinese, Malay or Eurasian) dressed in very smart black office attire. As I was looking at her I know she pretend that nothing had happened. Well my first impression on her was a lady dressed so smartly for work had this kind of inconsiderate attitude. I wonder what is her work attitude like !!! Sorry I have no respect for you ~ inconsiderate lady driver.

Obviously my next instinct was to take out my phone and capture a picture of her car ~ Hyundai Getz WLE119. And this is the car. Watch out for her next time if you are on the road !!!

























Are ladies such inconsiderate drivers on the road or are they just having that feeling that they are intimidated by all drivers on the road, and so have to be more aggressive or behave like that. I dont know and this is something all the lady drivers have to tell me. Personally I dont think that is the case and I am not undermining all lady drivers. I have lady friends that are very well mannered drivers on the road.

But my problem is everytime I encountered a very inconsiderate driver on the road not giving way even when I have put out the signal lights, its always the ladies that are not giving way and having that inconsiderate attitude on the road. Tell me WHY ?

UMNO.....Wat A SHAME !!!!

UMNO..... Wat a SHAME, a BIG BIG SHAME !!!!!

Check out for yourself HERE

I dont even want to post pictures like that let alone promoting it. Have some respect for your fellow opponents and the citizens of Malaysia. Wat is shown in the photo (a picture paints a thousand words) is totally unacceptable. Why are they not charge in court for being disrespectful not just to the public but to all the women and children around.

Some of the remarks gotten from the posting:

Disgusting.
Why won’t TV3 and other main stream media highlight this? Why won’t they show this to the public everyday? If such actions were to be done by PKR supporters we will surely see it everyday in TV and other main stream media. What a disgusting and sickening bunch of morons!

UMNO tolong pi sekolahkan budak main blakang dlm gambar tu..gila ke apa ni? Macam tak de maruah je.

Anyway as I am writing this, it is unofficial confirmed that DSAI had won by a majority of between 16,000 to 17,000 votes. BeeEnd....you lose big time and two in a row too. You asked yourself you got support or not?. Try go and find out the root course and not just keep on firing empty bullets.

Permatang Pauh By-Election

Wats the reason behind that the by-election have to be held during a weekday and the Penang folks get a day off????? No logic and its again some dirty tactics by you know who not to allow the young generation who are residing in the city ie Kuala Lumpur not able to go back to vote. Even if they want they have to sacrifice a day off to do that.
