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 .

The word 'sanctuary' was indeed a long word for me as a child.On inquiring what it meant,I was told it was a place for the insane!On a field trip with the teacher,I found that we were heading for SANCTUARY as the arrow indicated.I told her respectfully there was no way I would venture THERE .So she explained it was a sanctuary for birds and that I would enjoy the stop-over.From then I knew that a sanctuary was a place and there were so many types of sanctuaries...sanctuaries for the insane,for birds,for people who were ill,for people who found wearing clothes a great problem..for everything.
I have one too.It's not a far away place in the woods where a babbling brook passes by.It is right here in my very own garden.This is where I go when I need to be on my own.This is where I go when my feelings have been hurt and where I ponder why certain things happen to me.I try to sort out my thoughts and wonder if it happened because of me.Trust me when you're alone you get to see things straight.
I'm not the only fellow in this sanctuary.I share it with a flock of birds who to my mind are the happiest birds on Earth.They are constantly singing early morn,noon and evening.Twilight is the noisiest time.I guess it's nagging time!When the flowers are in bloom especially the orange jessamine,buzzing bees make a stopover.All are welcome EXCEPT the monitor lizard and her baby.Frankly ,she ,the mother ,frightens me.And she's just as afraid of me too which often makes her scramble for her life when she sees me.Then there'll be at least a few broken pots because she' not good at handling sudden skirmishes.I've not seen her for some time though.
Even while I write this post,the birds are out there in my sanctuary singing and chirping.Maybe they miss my presence.Ha ha ha.Okay,hold on.I'm coming!!!

School reunion.

For the past two months or so,I've been getting calls from quite a number of people telling me about a school reunion to be held this October.It's a reunion for the boys from High Schol and the girls from TIGS my alma mater.The organisers are the boys.Some of the callers I remember and some I don't.There are also some whom I don't really know.At any rate,they tell me I should attend.There was one reunion that was held in KL last year but I was not able to attend because of a prior arrangement.
I'm debating as whether to attend or give it a miss this time around.I've heard so much about such reunions.Some attend for the sake of comparing notes (usually these are about how they make in a year,how many titles they have at the end of their names etc,etc)Some go to catch up on news about each other.
I'd like to meet my old pals and on the other hand there might be some whom I'm reluctant to meet!I still have 5 months to decide.For the moment,I'm quite game to go.
