I'm sorry that i have not responded to the comments posted below as i was incommunicado for the last two weeks and getting internet access was rather difficult.Now that i'm back will try to post more regularly.We have other issues here in Medan,namely the daily blackouts for about 8-12 hours daily/nightly.
Can't imagine if it happens in Malaysia or Singapore...!!
This crisis will prevail until 2008 !
A few days ago this crisis had claim it's first casualty..A family of 5 had just bought a generator and whilst sleeping , the poisonous fumes penetrated into their bedroom resulting in 2 deaths. The rest was taken to the hospital and now under observation.

Kepada Ibu Ceriyati
Saya belum pernah ketemu dengan Ibu sebelumnya. Pertama kali saya dengar tentang apa yang terjadi pada Ibu adalah melalui koran yang saya kebetulan membaca semasa di Kuala lumpur beberapa hari yang lalu.
Bu, saya mengikut menprihatinkan tentang apa yang terjadi pada diri ibu. Saya dan keluarga saya di sini(Medan), sangat menyesal dan malu tentang apa yang terjadi . Perkara ini bukan pertama kali terjadi dan bukan juga yang terakhir.
Kami(keluarga dan juga rekanan saya), di sini akan terus berdoa agar apa yang terjadi pada diri Ibu akan memberikan sesuatu petunjuk pada warga negara saya, baik di Malysia dan juga Singapore, bahawa kami adalah hamba Tuhan dan ini bukan zaman dahulu.
I’m ashamed. I’m pissed!
Since when do we start having maids? During my time as a youth till I was in the late thirties, I’ve never heard of families having maids unless they are extremely wealthy. Now it becomes almost a status symbol. We thought that we have abolished slavery but now it appears in a different form.
Every year there are maids brutalized, abused and physically tortured in Singapore, Malaysia and even the Middle East…but what did we do?
Nothing!
During my time or until almost 15 years ago, I’ve never heard of maids.
Now, it’s a status symbol to have a maid.
I’m going to write more on this issue in the coming days.

SINGAPORE: 'Light touch' on new media, but government alert to radical websites
http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article.asp?parentid=72280
Moderation, Sir?
'Radical'?
"vortex of lies and distortion."
MDA's chief executive Christopher Chia, referring to the Government's "light touch," said there was no plan to "hire people to police websites."
Film director Shekhar Kapur warned of the "rise of cultism."
Me....Rockism,Rocks!!

A letter of appreciation
To,
The Honorable Datuk Kallimullah,
Dear Datuk,
I wrote this letter in appreciation and gratitude for suing Mr. Ahirruddin Atan.
You see, Datuk, I have not seen my best friend for the last thirty years and it was through your legal actions that I have found him.
I read about him in Asia One and also through Al Jazeera and he is also now a quite popular blogger and a respected one as well. Through your gracious actions, Datuk, I also got to meet all the other bloggers !
Datuk, you are also the reason and inspiration for me to try blogging myself.
Once again, Datuk, Thank You.
Yours sincerely,
The exile Singaporean
PS…Datuk, while you are at it…. Could you also find and sue Irene Ang Kim Boey? You see she’s my first love and I’ve also lost contact with her.

I would like to apply for the position of Chief housekeeper of Leong Sam Bak Chor Mee Stall at Cheow Tong Food Court in Bukit Ho swee.
I have had numerous experience in managing my son's maid from Indonesia( who died whilst cleaning my son's 17th floor flat) in 2010 and before my (son's)fillipino maid,who later got hanged for killing another maid over an affair with my son in 2013.( i assure you, please ignore the gossip that i was the one who was involved, as i've sort of "mati pucuk" in 2007 after i met with a bloke called amir)
I attached my resume herewith and hope to hear a favourable reply from you soon.
I do hope you consider my application seriously, as our MM shows, at the age of 80 + years,he's still able to think and behave in a senile way.(Heeeeeee Haaaahh!!)

Back Home
Displayed a bit of my Singaporeaness yesterday. It’s funny when, under pressure, years of nurturing and living in a certain society could easily transform you back into your practiced and cultivated social behaviour….
After a bad experience, with the asam laksa at LCCT, (it was horrible!),decided to check in into Air Asia and was told it was free seating and you can’t request for preferences.
I was told to pay an additional RM20, if I want to get express service.
Forget it. I’ve got time, I can wait. No worries. RM20 can get me 4 Bintangs(chilled as well!) in Medan.
Announcement came to board and we were shepherded into a holding area(sort of footballers waiting in the tunnel before coming into the pitch).We waited for about 15 minutes in the holding area as to allow the ‘expressed serviced’ customers to board in first. That’s alright, it’s okay, I’ve got time, I can wait. No worries.
“Okay , You all can board the plane now.”
The gate opened.
And all Hell broke loosed ! It was utter chaos! I’ve been to Banda Aceh twice and can only imagine the destruction and terror the people felt with the Tsunami…
Now I Know ..
Within a split second, I got elbowed by an elderly Chinese Medanese. The cute girl behind me( that I was eyeing earlier) suddenly went amok and shove me so hard that my Nokia(just 1 week old) dropped to the ground.
Whilst picking it up, I’ve got another shove from a 12 year old boy and nearly fell to the ground flat. I’ve also got my hand stepped by a fat lady.
Hey, I’ve got really clobbered. ! I’m trained in TKD and unarmed combat plus I was Rocky’s punching bag when we were younger.
Enough, let me show you that I’m no pushover.
And….I am a Singaporean and in times like this , I muster the art that we were good at.
KIASUISM
Grab my bag and ran like no tomorrow !!
I came in third after overtaking about thirty over other warriors.
Thanks Singapore. You taught me not to lose.
Reach Medan safely(whew!)
Got into the car. Drove past the red light, got stopped by Pak Polisi.
Polisi : Bpk tadi lewat lampu merah?
Me : Oh iya , pak? Saya gak perhatiin ada lampu merah?
Polisi : Jadi saya ni pembohong? Apa benar? Mana Sim( surat izin mengemudi)?
Me : Pak, udahlah…30 ribu bisa?
Polisi : mana bisa.... Limpul !! (lima puluh)
Managed to pay RP 40.000…about RM16..( after bargaining and changing my limpul into smaller denomination)
Glad to be back in Medan.
I’m home....Semua nya bisa di atur...

Hmm...........Big Dog....Did you have that chicken chop or was i halluccinating that it was an apparrition( I heard ada hantu pocong there) that did it?And the ALA King? siapa punya,tu?
Was wondering about that on the plane..Anyway..you're a great bloke!( and rather a bit on the berat dikit).
