Of obnoxious people

Grant me a rant today.It's a harangue about people...some people...people who don't care a toss about other people's feelings and not even know that reciprocation is the kindest thing one can ever commit.It is sad that the person is young but old enough to put two and two together and get four.On a hindsight,I think it's more to
having a bloated ego and being in the position where you are the boss's daughter and that no-one can touch you!Someone like her should be put in her place and I think I have done well in totally ignoring her.Period.
I recently was given the task of tutoring two eight year olds.The moment I saw them
I thought to myself that they were really cute and I'd enjoy teaching them.Oh! was I wrong!@#$!.They were in reality two little devils in disguise!They were DISRUPTIVE(that I can take having been teaching for 35 years)NOISY (okay by me)TALKATIVE(I always welcome talkative ones because a teacher sometimes feels lonely when pupils are too quiet)BUT downright rude and uncouth...something which is so unacceptable to me.They did not show any respect whatsoever for the teacher and behaved as though they were in command!It took me some time to tell them who the boss was and when they had calmed down,I managed to find out a little about their home bacground and their parents.
Experienced teachers always hit the nail in the head when their pupils behave in certain ways.If they are pleasant and well-mannered,then their parents are too.If they are rude and behave like punks,guess how their parents behave.If they shout at their friends and the teacher you know that their parents shout at them at home!
My guess about their parents was right.One has parents who work the whole day and have no time to nurture their little girl.The other has a father who teaches her to be materialistic (at such a young age )and tells her that she should not be a teacher because teachers DO NOT earn a lot of money!!!!She proudly announced that she wanted to be a boss like her father.I personally wonder who taught her father to read and write and count???
That is why there are so many unhappy children in the world today.If they are bold enough to kill themselves ,they do it.If not they lead unsavoury lives just to spite their parents....which comes to my tirade about people.
If I were to be given three wishes,one of them would be that all mothers be given an allowance so that they do not need to go out to work.They can stay at home and bring up the kids and hopefully we'd have less or no problems with juvenile delinquency.Wishful thinking but it is a thought.I think I'll talk to Muhyiddin about it.After all, he's a relative!!HA HA

MY SAY TODAY

My! my !my!It was a great mistake he made!After all the talk of being fair,he undid it all by making the wrong move.Did he not stop to think that he cannot do what he wants to do if he has someone else persistently hovering over him..someone else perpetually urging him on even if it might not be his cup of tea...Earl Grey or Camomile if you please?Or,on second thoughts,it could be one way to evade the possibility of being criticized in public or in the international arena.And if it is so,then ,I think you are not your own man...a ------ in the making?@#$%!God forbid!!!
I foresee a sojourn for you in the making.Trust me and it'll be bad for you because you have to be accomodating!Good luck to you,my man.

(The apolitical me has to speak up again.The country needs to settle down
and start solving the people's woes and bring them out of this quagmire..
pronto!!)

So my country's got a new Prime Minister and a new First Lady.Welcome to you both and may you bring forth this country of mine to further levels where we the different races can live in peace and harmony.I hope too there will no more be acts of bigotry which have gone out of control lately.
To PL,thank you for being the man that you always will be..kind,calm and always having a good word for people.Thank you too for NOT being nasty to anyone even if that 'anyone' has been cruelly nasty to you.To me,you are indeed a true Muslim.
Like you said,the first thing you'd do is to get some sleep and then to move out of SP.Then you're going to take a holiday with Jeanne and then return to life as an ordinary citizen.Good for you.This is exactly what you should do.Your time as the the PM is done so you should move on and let your successor do his thing.I sincerely and fervently hope that you will give advice only when asked to and when asked to,to give it in the most positive manner and fatherly way.NO heckling and bad-mouthing please.It's just not your style!Bad-mouthing a leader in your OWN country especially in the international arena is despicable and desperate.Muslims refer it to as MENGHINA dan ia sesungguhnya mengaibkan saudara sendiri!!
Most people especially politicians,claim that what they do is for the hoi-polloi.But when they do do it, you can see that its not for the people but for themselves.Period.When your successor takes over,he will have his own ideas of how to run the country.It is dictatorial to say the least if you expect him to do what you desired to do but could not because you had to leave!That was why there was so much angst and scorn for you.Its like my piano teacher getting sore with me because I decided to play' Getaran Jiwa 'in the rhumba tempo than in largo beat.I know that you will not publically hug someone and immediately bad-mouth him in the same breath.You are you PL,and may Allah bless you and your family and a long and fruitful retired life to you!AMIN.
(I am apolitical truly but at certain periods of my life when the situation in my country is not to my liking,I need to say my piece.After all, this is where I live!!)

Me and the gang

At last!!...success!!!I've been trying s-o-o-o=o hard to make a slide show on photobucket.com and failed miserably!I just could not find the URL they wanted.I guess it was because the instructions given were meant for another brand of laptop.Not one to give so easily,I surfed you-tube and found some tutorials and this one offered by animoto.com is the result of this very short vid.Do i hear distant applause.Thank you .
