War on Facebook

Regardless of the state you your relationship, especially when a relationship is on the rock – I seriously Facebook is NOT the right platform to express your anger.

At the end of the day, it is your true color that is visible in global eyes and at the end of the day nobody gain anything.

We shall not show our dirty laundry in public. It leads to nowhere.

I hope all parties will come to their senses

It is not about me.

I am just an innocent bystander – but I hate to see my friends exchange e-punches in the cyber world.

WHY?

Why is it always like that?

When you like someone, then that someone doesn’t like you.

And when someone likes you, you pulak yang don’t like that someone.

Why lah Did you BURN the Church?

I have to note this event - so that I can remember it in the future.

I do read my previous entry from time to time and I am glad I have been blogging.

The burning of the church is a big black dot in Malaysia history.

It is sad to think that there are such narrow-minded people who do this sort of thing in Malaysia.

To me the main cause of this is lack of education. I am not talking about Mathematics or Science. I am talking about tolerance and even the real teaching of Islam itself. The religion doesn’t condone such act. I believe all of my non-Muslim friends do not blame the religion but the stupid individual itself.

Most of us are cleverer than that. We are educated in many ways.

Some of us are good architects, engineers and lawyers. We were exposed to different culture, values and we learn to tolerate and most importantly respect other people belief.

To think of it, sedikit sebanyak, I have to blame the political leaders. Intentionally or unintentionally, all the relevant and sensitive issues have been politicize and this is one of the major consequences.

Leaders today have not been in control of our country. They fight solely for their very own survival interest. In the long run, we will see such action will only cost the rakyat and the country a price we cannot imagine.

Since Mahathir left, as a matter of fact, a lot of issues have been handled very badly without long-term goals we all need.

Perhaps this is a result when leaders are only care whether they will sill be in power after every five year.

Any party for that matter, if they prove themselves they can rule a state (to start with) or a country, they don’t even have to bloody campaign. Rakyat will automatically vote for them.

Kalau ikut hati, rasa nak pergi bakar rumah mamat yang bakar church tu.

Memang Bodoh!

Tea @ Fat Boy's

I have posted about Fat Boy Bakes before.

Yesterday, we were lucky again to be invited to have tea with him and his lovely family.

As usual, it was a good catching up time with a bunch of good friends. What is there to complain about when you have a great company on Saturday afternoon to chill out with lots of delicious scones and jam and cream puffs, beef quiche and velvet chocolate cake.

I have to run on the treadmill for hours to burn all these super calories.

I have promised Fat Boy to invite him to my place with the same bunch of friends and have dinner.

I will bake my signature chicken and salad. Fat Boy promised to bring the dessert.

Yum!

Dins Dins @ Vicchuda

Dinner at Vicchuda recently.

I haven’t been there in ages. Luckily ne of my friends who just got back from England and put in his Facebook status.

6 of us went and cleaned up everything we ordered.

Typically, in a southern Thai makan joint such as this, we ordered these delicious dishes…

I have to say the service was very good, very fast. I was not really starving my my watch prompt me it was dinner time and I roped everybody (whether they were hungry or not) into the bandwagon and drove to Damansara Utama.

Worth it.

Try it!
