Life's Remains....

The millionaire mind works in a different way. That's what all the wealth guru say. From the classic all time favorite "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and now T. Harv Eker has the best selling book, "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind". All of them have one thing in common. You need to look at money as a result of hard work, not you work hard to make money. It's really the same thing, but you will be more willing to work hard because you know you will get money, rather than you feel you have to work because you need money.... usually to pay your mortgage for the house you live in and the car you drive... and later the ever rising cost of bringing up the children. It is a shift in paradigm. Which is hard to do, if you keep wanting the things you can't afford. You can just drive a Kancil but you are to ashamed to be seen in one. Or, what if your boss wants to hitch a ride with you.... it's unb...

We (my wife and I) went to Carrefour yesterday. It seems that all my effort to teach people to say the name correctly, has proven to be futile. Carrefour is pronounced like this: Car (kereta) Foo. That's how the french said it and it means junction... simpang. Maybe, the first Carrefour was built near a junction.... Anyway, here in Malaysia, we all call it Care For and the Carrefour management just use this and add the slogan, we Care For you... But, what I want to talk about is that yesterday was "no plastic bag" day, and I see quite a few people carrying green colored bags, given away free by Carrefour. These bags are made of bio-degradable material (I presume), and surprisingly strong, since it could hold 6 of those 1 liter milk cartons, 4 tins of condensed milk and 4 tins of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup (my young son loves them). As I push the trolley, doggedly following my wife up and down the aisles, I suddenly remembered a quote by somebody, that we do...

Once I wrote to a newspaper (I don't know if it was published or not, because the newspaper I wrote to is not the usual paper that I read... funny huh?) that sodomy is the worst possible act that a man can commit here in our beautiful country. It's worst than rape... because at least rape is an act born out of a natural attraction between different sex. We are supposed to be attracted to the opposite sex. Sodomy, however, is deemed unnatural, because that's not how it's supposed to be done. Regardless, if you do it to the opposite sex or your own gender. According to Abdul Rahim bin Abdul Rahman, the laws of our country is biased when it comes to sodomy. He is of the opinion that if a man were to stick his thing into another man's anus, that is considered to be "against the order of nature" and against section 377B of the penal code. Abdul Rahman, through his lawyer, Fahri Azza, argued that the section was biased to the male gender because it only refer...

Liverpool lost again last night, this time to a team struggling to stay in the 2nd division, Reading. Reading FC have played 24 games this season and only won 4. That's the quality of the Liverpool team we have this season. In a reversal of fortune, last season when at one point Liverpool actually reached the peak of the Premier League, before a string of draws thwarted a run that ran shivers down the spine of opponents, this season, the fact that this "big four" club is laying 7th is in itself an amazing feat, considering the appalling state of affairs both on and off the pitch. Before the start of this season, Sir Alex Ferguson said that he did not see Liverpool as a threat and thought, Chelsea, with new manager in Carlo Ancelotti, will be the biggest threat to Manchester United's bid for a four in a row League title. Ferguson said that all the other teams would have found Liverpool out, how they play and how to subdue them. Benitez, responded that there are only so...

I did not realize my 2009 resolution, which was the same resolution, unrealized in 2008. Focus! Focus! I keep telling myself, but there is this distraction called... my job. Get out of the comfort zone! Get into the combat zone! Are you crazy? How will my children eat? Will they have to eat rice and home cooked meal only? And deprive them of Pizza Hut, or the beef noodle at Secret Recipe? What about the occasional McDonald's? If I were to give up my day job, how will I get around without my company car? Are you implying that I will have to buy and MAINTAIN my own car? What about my Astro? Are you saying that I have to give that up, too? No ESPN? No StarWorld? No HBO? How will I know what's going on in this world without CNN, Bloomberg or Al Jazeera? No, no, no... I must continue to work and earn a steady income, so I can pay for my children tuition.... Tuition... how else are they going to get a proper guidance to get all those As... You are not suggesting that I do it, are you...

There ought to be a law that restrict stupid people from breeding. Or maybe, increase the age of statutory rape from 15 to 25. There's just to many stupid people out there getting married because they want to boff each other's brains out. They don't know that boffing will result in the girl boffer getting pregnant. They just thought that the girl is getting fat. Then, the baby comes out and they don't know what to do with it. It starts crying and they slap it around to keep it quiet. Then, the baby got quiet, they got worried (by instinct, I suppose they sense something is wrong) and they send the baby to a doctor. They tell the doctor the baby fell...... Instead of just asking brides and grooms to do a HIV test, I think they should all sit for an IQ test too. Make it real simple, because those who got married just to legitimize boffing do not use their brains. Most of the blood is pumped to the lower half of their bodies. Then, there's incest. These are commi...

There are so many things I want write about today. First, is to ask for Rafael Benitez to quit as Liverpool FC manager, so that the club do not have to pay the contract breaking penalty of (rumored to be) 20 million pounds. Mark Hughes I believe is looking for work now... Secondly, I woke up this morning and watched "Sicko", another America bashing documentary by Michael Moore, this time about public health care. Once again (as with his previous documentaries), the genius of Michael Moore managed to put us under a coconut shell and let us peek at the world through the hole he made in it. He was comparing the public health system in his native land with National Health System in the UK and something similar in France. Then, as a climactic end, he took some "sickos" to Cuba, and showed us the wonderful Havana Hospital, with it's free health care. I really like it when people start bashing the Great Satan, as the late Saddam Husseim calls them, but Mr. Moore was co...
