The Winds of Change

March the 8th

Remember that date

A result which will dictate

The nation's fate

It is with hope

That the nation copes

To light a fire 

To which the nation will aspire

How this will play out

The nation may have to do without

Or reach the heights

To everyone's delight

Sax Appeal

Just picked up this gorgeous looking babe

Anyone one know where,in Malacca, I can go to for lessons?

 

Red Night in Moscow

Moscow is traditionally red

Last night it was Manchester great

That is was after the final whistle

The Blues looked like they were hit by a guided missile

Glad I didn't stay up to watch

As I would have needed lots of Scotch

To calm the nerves which were stretched

By the ending which was far-fetched

Well done you chaps

For you were on the brink of collapse

Thank God for the Moscow turf

When John Terry decided to surf

Poor old John Terry

For I fear he will be harried

By all the Press

But he tried his best

And for Ronaldo

For all his bravado

Looked a little desperado

Or maybe he swallowed an avocado 

As for Ryan Giggs

He can now perform the jig

For in the rain

He supremely reigns

Good on you, Alex

As you gathered your phalanx

To conquer Moscow

Where Napoleon could not go

You must remember this......

Yup, my suspicions have been confirmed; I've got Shingles!!! Bugger, bugger, bugger.

Anyway for comfort I'm watching Casablanca for the umpteenth time.

It's still a great movie, full of classic lines:

My favorite is still, "Of all gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."

Just think, Ronald Reagan was supposed to play Rick!! Not sure about that.

Just watched the scene where they close down Rick's cafe: a very Malaysian type scene.

Captain Renault gives the order to close the cafe down on the grounds that there was gambling going on in the premises; "I'm shocked, shocked! to discover that there's gambling going on in this place." He then turns around to the croupier who hands him a wad of cash with the words, "Your winnings, Sir." 

Actually... there are many Malaysian type scenes. Maybe that's why I love the film.

Anyway... until the next time. "Here's looking at you kid."

Bak Kuah

This one's for Cheryl in London.

Wing Hiong Bak Kuah**

Where forth art thou

I've searched the whole of Soho

But so far it's  a no go

Oh you truly delicious meat

When shall we next meet

Maybe for the good of the Malaysian community

I best make good on this business opportunity! 

**For those of you who don't know; Bak Kuah is barbequed meat, traditionally served during festive periods. Wing Hiong in Jalan Imbi makes the best!!

Gourmet Tour of China

We are off on vacation

With the Sith Lord to South China

We look forward with anticipation

To a date with Angina

It's the Sith Lord we're following

Who'll be doing the ordering

Lead us not to temptation

As it will fill us with damnation

It'll be smart

Before we depart

To do a load of packin'

A ship-load of Statins

Aide Memoire

This is an old memory which has remained with me for many, many years.

Picture this: A young boy in his early twenties chewing the fat with his elders after a game of golf in Subang Golf Club. The discussion gravitates towards the the terms used in legal contracts.

Khim: I really cannot remember who would be the transferor and who would be the transferee.

Uncle Foo: It's really quite simple; just remember who the f@%ker and who the f@%kee is.

FOOyoh!!! 'nuff said.

Dedicated to Uncle Foo Swee Leng who I shall always remember, went to an Ivy League University to learn such wisdom.

Oh I Say!

Oh Justine, Justine

We shall miss that backhand supreme

For you were my queen

That backhand of my dreams

Hit with bottom or with top

Why do you have to stop

We shall miss you little 'un

Do enjoy your days in the sun

Irish Blonde in a Casino

This one's for Sean in Belfast.

An attractive blonde from Cork arrived and bet twenty-thousand dollars

on a single roll of the dice, at a casino.

She said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel luckier when I'm

completely nude".

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and 

yelled,"Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!"

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed..."YES!

YES! I WON ! I WON!"

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her

clothes and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumbfonded. Finally, one of them 

asked, "What did she roll?"

The other answered, "I don't know - I thought you were watching."

MORAL OF THE STORY -

Not all Irish are stupid and not all blondes are dumb, but all men are men.

Thank-you Lee Lee for the great insight.

p.s. Anyone have an appropriate illustration for this??

Antonio Bourdain is over 40 and Cool!

                                                So who's that cool dude.

As I sit here in the middle of the night awaken by a strained muscle and "Ghandi's Revenge" from a Tandoori dinner; lamenting over this over 40's syndrome; I happen to turn on the telly and watch a grey haired dude para-gliding over some hills in Argentina. Damn! I hate Antonio Bourdain. How dare he be over 40 and look so cool!! There is hope for us, over 40's yet!! 

Hell! I need to get a that ear-ring now!

Oral Contraception

Another borrowed observation;

this time from one of Woody Allen's stand-up sketches.

Stolen Musings

Some borrowed Musings which I find Amusing

Why if Air Asia can call me; to sell me insurance: why do they not call me, to warn me that my flight has been delayed? 

....borrowed from Hallie

Why are you not in motion

Maybe the solution

Is a revolution

Or a Wile E Cayote solution   

Water Wheel

Why don't you move

Are you stuck in a groove

Why are you stuck

Maybe it's just that no-one gives a f@%k!
