-wtf-
do people really mean what they say?
Honestly!
Sometimes when we mean we want to be transparent...but do we really practice what we preach?
.MOTHERFARKER.
It is frustrating...very frustrating to say the least when one does the exact opposite of what they have been saying.
CAN I JUST SAY MOTHERFARKER AGAIN.
It's the real deal.
It's not nice.
deal with it.
we're older, shouldn't we know better?
perhaps not.
Den may i ask what is a good indication?
Are there any quantifiable measurables for that?

It's been a long while. So now i'm back frm France. Maybe i'll start blogging again. For what reason i dunno. Since i know no one reads my dead blog anymore. hurhur. It's okay. maybe it's better this way.
So it's job hunting period. I would say it's prolly the worst time. Maybe i should have skipped exchange and graduated w my batch, den maybe now i would hav a decent job. maybe...
It's alright. I'm still pretty hopeful :) Abit bored at home i would say but still doing okay. Have finished reading Twilight. It was a surprisingly easy read. Den again, i shldn't be surprised since it's a young adult fiction book. The question now is, should i bite the bait and buy the New Moon? Or just wait for Olivia to finish it and den borrow. HA..

-Cent-sitive issue-
Recently, there seems to be alot of money issues in my life. And I'm getting sick of it.
When someone has your money, they'll find all sorts of way to avoid giving/releasing the money to you. May it be a banker's gaurantee, doing odd jobs or even your monthly paycheck. Somehow, people always find a way to keep (anybody's) money in their pocket.
I can't really write much about it for reasons I also can't say.

-a quickie (note)-
Guess what? I forgot my blog address. hhahahah..at least i rem my login id and password man since it's linked to gmail.
Well, since I'm here, might as well do abit of update.
After my exciting internship at XOM, I signed up for a month of intensive french language course at alliance francaise. So every morning i had to wake up at 7am and try to absorb as much as i can for the 3 hours before lunch. Knowing me, I skipped a more than a couple of lessons. DAMN it! I should be more disciplined. Afterall, it's my money and it wasn't cheap. bleah. At least i saved on books :) THanks to Kunz and her resources.
Okay, so after class I'll head over to PURE and try to connect with my inner self and portray a look of zen-ness. HaHA! okok, but seriously, the classes are good and the place is clean which is a mighty plus point. I do my best to go 3 times a week. And I think I've only done that twice.
2 weeks into my french course, I started working part time at the Lien Foundation Centre. Sounds good eh? Working for the Social Sector might put some color in my resume. But thing is I'm a glorified sai-kang warrior!!! And honestly, it's okay with me. The people are awesome and it's a good way to raise some money for my upcoming exchange.
People are asking me when i'm leaving.
IT'S THE DAY AFTER 9/11. So yes, I'm leaving on September 12 :) But I think people will find that easier to remember. I'll be taking the morning flight so unless u want to be at the airport at 7am, you don't need to send me me off..just send me some cash, that'll be good too.
I'll be flying into london first and travelling for awhile before settling down in France. My host university is HEC Paris (not sure where, just wiki it) and it's 45 min away from central Paris. If you are a friend and want me to buy all those designer stuff for u at a discounted/tax free rate, please just email me. But let me forewarn you that there are no credit terms, so transfer $$$ then I'll go shopping for u. Or if u'll like other european stuff, let me know too. Just no perishables and NO BULKY ITEMS. Thanks!
THat's all for now. I don't know when I'll blog again. It seems to be a dying thing with me. Still thinking if I should set up a travel blog. But there's facebook to upload the pics..but I can only include so many words in my caption you know. So oh well, we'll see....

-Accept Polygamy???-
A Malaysian MP told parliament that there would be fewer marital problems and a lower divorce rate if Muslim women were taught to accept polygamy, news reports said today.
An independent parliamentarian proposed moves to address the issue in response to complaints that women were always blamed for marital issues.
"Such problems happen because women cannot accept polygamy. From a preventive point of view, what about doing a big campaign so that women can accept polygamy?" He was quoted saying in the Star daily.
The ethnic Malay Muslim lawmaker said women who are pregnant or who have "problems" when they hit their 50s do not understand that men still want to "have fun".
Fuziah Salleh, an opposition politician, had earlier questioned the qualifications of Islamic sharia court counsellors as she had received complaints from women that they were forced to take the blame for most marital problems.
"They are not counselled but given 'advice'. And every time, they are told that the woman is to be blamed. If it is a family problem, they must be patient. If they are beaten up, they must also be patient," she said.
Muslim men in Malaysia are allowed up to four wives. Activists and women's groups say polygamy is cruel and has deviated from its original purpose in Islam, which was to protect widows and orphans.
Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, where more than 60 per cent of its 27 million people are Muslim Malays. Polygamy is illegal for non-Muslims.

-That's some OIL-y Business-
A trip up north may not be as enticing anymore with the implementation of the proposed ban on sale of petrol and diesel to foreign registered vehicles within a 50km radius of the borders.
A few years ago, it was proposed to increase the causeway toll charges for foreign registered cars to RM 20. At present, our drivers are paying only 2.90 at the Woodlands Checkpoint & 10.80 at the Second Link. So how permanent is the proposed ban?
Qn: Will this solve the abuse on fuel subsidies?
Ans: Maybe. Logically, We will be less likely to cross the borders and travel 50km to pump fuel and travel another 50km back into their homeland. So, naturally the abuse on fuel subsidies would be less right?
WRONG!This ban will probably create a grey area in the market. Just imagine….
Foreigners want to pump cheaper fuel yet still do not want to travel the extra 50km. He drives to a pump and stops. Next thing you know, he’ll get down the car and smoothly says “full tank” to the pump assistant, shakes his hand and smile.
Yes, I’m talking about bribery. No matter what policy there is, it is always a place where money speaks louder than the law.
Got pulled over cos you were speeding? Ka-ching!!
Passport expiry date is less than 6 months? Ka-ching!!
Problem
They need to cut down the subsidy bill especially with the rising cost of crude oil. Yet, they are in no position to raise prices of fuel & basic food items after suffering its worst ever result in the elections.
Proposed Solution
Ban border fuel sales to foreign registered vehicles.
Motive
The ban would instantly create opportunities for her people to increase revenues of income through bribery. The extra money would come from foreigners and not through state funding. The people will be appeased without them spending. Thus, killing two birds with one stone.
