Malaysian Speciality

These pictures, some which I have seen published in local newspapers, are amusing to the tired mind.

Although I can't establish if they all come from the same photographer (or otherwise) and am also unable to give the said individual(s) due credit (since I don't have their names), suffice to say these pictures were not taken by me.

Am posting this for your viewing pleasure sake.

Enjoy!

Punjab English Marriage Proposal

Talk about the need to better master the art of writing a romantic letter in English, the following letter sent via email to me, made me laugh my heart out.

And by the way, I'm not taking any responsibility towards any of the lewd connotations in this letter!

__________________________________________________________

Madam:

I am an olden young uncle living only with myself in Lahore.

Having seen your advertisement for marriage purposes, I decided to press myself on you and hope you will take me nicely.

I am a soiled son from inside Punjab.

I am nice and big, six foot tall, and six inches long.

My body is filled with hardness, as because I am working hardly.

I am playing hardly also. Especially I like cricket, and I am a good batter and I am a fast baller. Whenever I come running in for balling, other batters start running.

Everybody is scared of my rapid balls that bounce a lot.

I am very nice man. I am always laughing loudly at everyone. I am jolly. I am gay.

Especially ladies, they are saying I am nice and soft.

I am always giving respect to the ladies.

I am always allowing ladies to get on top. That is how nice I am.

I am not having any bad habits. I am not drinking and I am not sucking tobacco or anything else.

Every morning I am going to the Jim and I am pumping like anything. Daily I am pumping and pumping.

If you want you can come and see how much I am pumping the dumb belles in the Jim.

I am having a lot of money in my pants and my pants is always open for you.

I am such a nice man, but still I am living with myself only. What to do?

So I am taking things into my own hands everyday. That is why I am pressing myself on you, so that you will come in my house and take my things into your hand.

When you are marrying me madam, I am telling you, I will be loving you very hard every day.

In fact, I will stop pumping dumb belles in the Jim.

If you are not marrying me madam and not coming to me, I will press you and press you until you come.

So I am placing my head between your nicely smelling feet and looking up with lots of hope.

I am waiting very badly for your reply and I am stiff with anticipation.

Expecting soon.

Yours and only yours,

Choudhary Warraich,

born by mother in Okara and

A Donkey Tale

Once upon a time a Washerman was bringing up two donkeys.

Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.

Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washerman's attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him.

Innocent Donkey-B is normal, so it will walk normal, irrespective of the washerman's presence.

After a period of time, Washerman started pressurizing Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A.

But Donkey-B unable to walk fast, got continuous punishment from washerman.

It was crying and told personally to Donkey-A "Dear friend, only we two are here, why to compete with each other.... we can carry equal load at normal speed".

That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told to washerman that it can carry more load and even it can run fast also.

Obviously happier washerman looked at Donkey-B, his BP raised and he started kicking Donkey-B.

Next day with a smile, Donkey-A carried more load and started running fast.

But it was breathtaking for Donkey-B and it couldn't act that way.

But the washerman was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down hopelessly.

Then Donkey-A felt itself as a supremo and happily started carrying more load with great speed.

But now the Load of the Donkey-B was also being carried by Donkey-A and still it had to run fast.

For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it became tired and started feeling the pain.

But the washerman expected more from Donkey-A.

It also tried it's best, but couldn't cope up with his owner's demand.

The Washerman got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing it to take more load.

Donkey-A was crying for long time and then tried its best...but it couldn't meet the owner's satisfaction.

Finally the day came when due to frustration the washerman killed Donkey-A and went for searching some other Donkeys.

Its an endless story....

But the moral of the Story in Corporate life is..."Think all colleagues are same and that everyone is capable...Always Share the Load equally...Don't ever act smart in front of your Boss and never try for getting over-credit.

Don't feel happy when your colleague is under pressure.

"It doesn't matter if u are A or B, for the Boss u shall be always be a DONKEY And most importantly, never Work hard...Work Smart!"

Excellence never happens by accident.

We have to make it happen and our methods matter every bit as much as our results.

~~ Beauty of a Woman ~~

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman with time, only grows.. An English professor wrote the words:

"WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING" on the blackboard, and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.

The men wrote: "Woman, WITHOUT HER MAN, is nothing."

The women wrote: "WOMAN!! WITHOUT HER, man is nothing!"

The Images of Mother:

• 4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
• 8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
• 12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
• 14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either!
• 16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
• 18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
• 25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
• 35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
• 45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
• 65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom. . .

This posting, sourced from an email sent to me by a dear old school friend, is dedicated to all the phenomenal women I've had the pleasure of knowing.

You're all simply beautiful!

Bedroom Inspirations

This, I received from a forwarded email.

The designs are what some people would term as 'modern', 'fresh', 'unconventional', 'artistic' and so on and so forth.

Whatever you call them, enjoy imagining if any one of these were your real life bedrooms...

Power of non-violence

Reading the following really made me think about everyday life and the way we - sorry, I, do things.

I may be eons away from being a complete follower of Ghandi's non-violence preaching but rest assured, the excerpt below got me thinking of ways and means through which I can start making visible progress.

______________________________________________________

Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the M.K.Gandhi Institute for Non-violence, in his recent lecture at the University of Puerto Rico shared the following story:

I was 16 years old and living with my parents at the institute my grandfather had founded 18 miles outside of Durban , South Africa , inthe middle of the sugar plantations.

We were deep in the country and had no neighbors, so my two sisters and I would always look forward to going to town to visit friends or go to the movies.

One day, my father asked me to drive him to town for an all-day conference, and I jumped at the chance.

Since I was going to town, my mother gave me a list of groceries she needed and, since I had all day in town, my father asked me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced.

When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, "I will meet youhere at 5:00 p.m., and we will go home together."

After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theatre.

I got so engrossed in a John Wayne double-feature thatI forgot the time. It was 5:30 before I remembered.

By the time I ranto the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6:00.

He anxiously asked me, "Why were you late?"

I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a John Wayne western movie that I said, "The car wasn't ready, so I had to wait," not realizing that he had already called the garage.

When he caught me in the lie, he said: "There's something wrong in theway I brought you up that didn't give you the confidence to tell methe truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I'm going to walk home 18 miles and think about it."

So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads.

I couldn't leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered.

I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again.

I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me theway we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson atall. I don't think so.

I would have suffered the punishment and goneon doing the same thing.

But this single non-violent action was sopowerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday.

No to red carpet coz she can't wear what she liked

Ok, I hope I'm not over-reacting here.

First things first - everytime a Malaysian artiste gets invited to anything associated with Hollywood or the likes of it, it sure as hell makes the headlines.

And then you have all the oooo and aaaaahhhs about what, why, when and how that person is going to be doing at the said event.

After everything is said and done, people will pretty much come to their senses that it wasn't worth all that hype after all coz our local talent, whoever it may be, got invited only to perhaps make up the numbers or do their job (as in deejays, etc) and that they were not exactly given any significant honour (such as receiving an award, for instance) at the much hyped-about event after all.

Just look at this recent case for instance -all the hype about a local deejay Linda Onn being present at the 79th Academy Awards just fizzled out when the personality decided not to attend the function because....of all other sane reasons, she failed to attend it because she couldn't wear the dress she wanted!!!

Can you beat that?

Now what do you call that...unprofessional or just utter nonsensical tantrum?

You be the judge ;-)

Read it here:

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.aspfile=/2007/3/1/nation/17004235&sec=nation

RADIO deejay Linda Onn was absent on the 79th Academy Awards red carpet because she was not allowed to wear the dress she wanted, Utusan Malaysia reported.

Quoting sources, the paper said some people were uncomfortable that a foreigner, Indonesian-born Jovian Mandagie, had designed and made the outfit Linda was to wear.

So, local designer Radzuan Radziwill was asked to hastily put together a dress and a Star TV official flew to Los Angeles to deliver it.

However, Linda refused to wear it and was said to have been very disappointed that she could not wear the dress she wanted.

Linda was to host a Star Movies’ programme together with Channel V presenter Dominic Lau.

She withdrew from hosting the programme.

Jovian, who was contacted later, said that he and Linda had designed the kebaya and it had taken almost two weeks to complete.

Lau said Linda had lost a golden opportunity to interview top Hollywood celebrities.

Bush on Malai Shia

I got this joke via email a couple of days back and I'm not sure where it originated from but I suppose the joke made its round right after our Islamic religious department officials raided the hotel room occupied by an aged couple from abroad, who were visitors to Malaysia in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year 2007.

The manner in which the religious officials conducted the raid and their lack of manners, if I may say so, received huge public outrage although the officials and department in question defended their actions as nothing to cry foul about.

I'm quite sure that the pun of the message behind the joke is obviously intentional.

Have a good laugh and remember, I'm not the author of it.

In January 2007, President George W Bush is visiting several Asian countries including Indonesia and Singapore.

Bush: Well Condi, is there anything you need from Singaporethat I can pick up for you while I am there next month?

Rice: That's very kind of you, Mr President, but no, there's really nothing I need right now from there. But Laura will certainly enjoy the shopping there, sir.

Bush: Ah yes, she's been talking about it. Lee's wife has promised to take her shopping at the newly opened Vivocity.

Rice: I'm sure she'll enjoy a trip to Sentosa too. Especially now that the haze from Indonesia has more or less lifted. Talking of which, you're going to Indonesia too, aren't you sir?

Bush: Yes I am, and while I'm with Susilo Bambang, Laura will visit Acheh and give away a cheque to the tsunami victims.

Rice: How sweet. Would you be dropping by Malai Shia, sir?

Bush: Naw, giving them a miss.

Rice: Don't blame you sir, they have some rough motor cyclists there. Called themselves "Mad Ram Piss" or something. They think they're the Asian equivalent of our Knievel. They would certainly scare Laura to death.

Bush: Nah, Laura is made of sterner stuff. But that's not the reason why we're not going to Malai Shia, Condi.

Rice: Oh. Then it must be their traffic jams. They even have monorails that run off the tracks and dangle in mid-air. And highway pillars that crack.

Bush: Really? Incompetent, that's all I can say. But no, that's not the reason why we're skipping Malai Shia either.

Rice: Oh I know. You don't want to distract the Prime Minister right now, isn't it? Heard he's getting some shitty stuff from his predecessor telling him off like a kid.

Bush: If Clinton did that to me, I'd personally throw him off an F-16. But no, that's also not the reason why we're skipping Malai Shia.

Rice: Must be the floods then, sir? It's the monsoon season now and it floods bad after just two hours of rain. Landslides too; bring down houses but then people there build 4-storey bungalows without approval.

Bush: Naw, the rain wouldn't bother us. That's also not the reason for not going there.

Rice: I give up. Why are you visiting Indonesia and Singapore, and yet not go to Malai Shia, Mr President?

Bush: The reason, Dr Rice, is that I don't want their Religious Department people banging on our hotel room door in the middle of the night, demanding to see our marriage certificate. Now THAT would scare the hell out of Laura ...
