Sign of the Times ...

Early this year in February .. my wife came back from work as usual in the evening at about 9:00pm .. parked her car in front of the car as usual ..

.. and promptly had her handbag snatched by two assholes on a motorbike.

And of course she just HAD to hang on to her handbag (more by instinct than anything else) .. resulting in her being dragged on the tarmac for a good 50 meters or so before the two assholes gave up and sped off.

And THAT resulted in cuts and wounds and bruises and a nasty gash on her forehead.

LAST WEEK .. my 4 year old Proton Waja which I had parked in front of house was stolen.

And it was stolen on a Saturday afternoon - between 3:00pm and 6:00pm ... I know, cos the last I looked out at 3:00pm my car was still there.

And it was no longer there at 6:00pm.

We made police reports for BOTH incidents ... and you know what?

The officer taking our statements had the cheek to say :

" Biasa lah, satu hari banyak lapuran dan kes-kes macam nie ( it's normal, we receive lots of such reports everyday )"


Biasa lah ????

Doesnt that stupid guy realise that it doesnt look good on the PDRM and himself that there are so many such cases everyday ???

What in the world are the police doing ??

Why are criminals now so brazen as to snatch and steal stuff in BROAD daylight .. and IN FRONT of people's houses ????

Is it because they know that the PDRM no longer cares about the safety of the very people they are supposed to protect ????

I wonder when it's going to get better .. but methinks it's going to get a WHOLE lot worse before it even feels like it's gonna get better .....

The Day I Met Mandy ..

I remember the events leading up to me meeting Mandy ...

I was sitting in a clinic with my wife .. it was somewhere in Shah Alam, if memory serves .. and I remember clearly the nurse walking by, then turning to look at us .. giving us a smile and nodding in affirmation .. and I remember turning to my wife and looking into her eyes to see the most excited and happiest smile ..

Fast forward several months .. and I was in Assunta Hospital .. 18 hours had already passed since the first contractions .. junior apparently liked it so much in her mummy that an emergency C-section had to be performed ..

And I remember first seeing her .. the amazing blackness of her thick curly hair .. her soft pink chubby cheeks .. how she would squint at the glare of the bright flourescent lights .. and the way she felt in my arms .. I understood then how you felt at the moment is beyond the understanding of non-fathers - it's difficult to put into words .. it was like meeting a witness to my life and what it was worth.

I felt fiercely protective of her .. like somehow I wanted to keep her in my arms and never let her go ....

Fast forward again 18 years .... Mandy is now a adolescent teen .. rebellious and with a mind of her own .. and im left wondering .. what has happened to my princess? what the hell did I do wrong?

Didn't I spend enough time with her?
Or was I being overly protective?
Have I neglected her in any way?

I just hope that somehow in some way .. when she finally grows outta being an adolescent .. I can have my princess back ... but somehow I doubt it ...

Say that Again ?

So apparently I didn't get better the following day ... the headaches and the fever abated for like a few hours ... but came back with a vengeance that same evening ....

Unfortunately I couldn't take time off to recover cos I've just started a new job ( yes, I'm working now - been working since March ) ... so I just basically had to suck it up and bear with it ... I was kinda guessing that it would be some viral thingy and that it would run it's course in about a week ......

And guess what?

I was right ...I woke up this morning feeling much better .. a good thing too, cos it's Friday and a weekend .. I didn't wanna spend my weekend in bed trying to silence all that pounding in my head ...

So I was in Puchong just now after work - decided to have my dinner .. and I saw this :

Shouldn't that read as TIDBITS ? I wonder what would happen if someone went up to the guy and asked for a TIT ... hehehe ..

Mondays ..

I thought feeling lousy and lethargic and a general sense of 'feeling sick' comes with the usual blues of a Monday.

Turns out I'm running a temperature of 102 degrees .. I just checked .. no wonder I didn't have the appetite to eat anything at all today .. guess I'll just pop a couple of Panadols and go to bed.

I just hope I'll be ok tomorrow - cos being sick really SUCKS.

Wow ...

So after dropping off my daughter at school ( why do they have classes on a Saturday? ) this morning, I made my way to the mamak stall near my house - ordered a glass of hot tea and proceeded to just chill .... when I noticed this huge shadow pass over me ..

It was only then that I realised an eagle had flown right over me ( or rather us as I was sitting with the mamak stall owner ) less than 10 feet above my head !!

Living next to a secondary forest does have it benefits and the occasional visitor .. just never expected an eagle ..

Nice to know that in heavily polluted KL .. there are still sights to remind you that not everything is lost .....

You Know Who You Are ....

How many POLITE ways are there to show that you are NOT interested?

If I don't pick up your call .. and I don't reply your smses .. despite you calling over and over again .. as well as not responding to any of your smses OR your SKYPE messages ..

Doesn't that give you an indication that i'm NOT interested?
Or do I have to tell you to your face to FUCK OFF ??



Jeeez .. some people really tak malu .....

Still Around ...

Just a short note to say that im still here .. just been really busy lately, what with the festive season and all the other stuff that i've gotta deal with .. updates soon !!
