The Best Divorce Letter, everrrr!!!

Dear wife:

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever. I've been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today & that was the last straw.

Last week, you came home & didn't even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore; you don't want sex or anything that connects us as husband & wife.

Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me anymore; whatever the case, I'm gone.

Your EX-Husband

P.S. don't try to find me. Your SISTER & I are moving away to West Virginia together!

Have a great life!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dear Ex-Husband

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true you & I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining & griping. Too bad that doesn't work.

I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was 'You look just like a girl!' Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say something nice, I didn't comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago.

About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, & I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out.

So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & bought us 2 tickets t o Jamaica But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess.

I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won't get a dime from me.So take care.

Signed,

Your Ex-Wife,
Rich As Hell & Free!

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl.

I hope that's not a problem.

Unfair and outraged!!

On the 10th February 2009, our company organized a 1/2 day session on "City survival for women". Only female workers can attend this course.

A very fruitful and very informative session for us urbanites ladies....the talk was given by Capt K Balasupramaniam from MVFRA, site here.

It was really an eye-opening and shocking to see gory pictures of women and children who were raped, sodomized and killed. Most of the cases and pictures shown were those we read in the newspapers. Especially so ...children.

We were told of a pending case where the rapist suspect was given a bail (yes, the sickening law in this country allows bail for non-convicted rapist suspects!!) and since he is now out, he has been terrorizing his child victims. Capt Bala was asking from us ladies to sign his petition to get the Attorney General to put this guy back to jail pending his trials to prevent further interferences and disturbing the child victims. Of course, we all did not hesitate to sign up the petition. Hell, even if he had asked us to do a demonstration, I would gladly go!! His target was over 1000 signatures...only women signatures.

How comforting it was to read the news article in the Star that he managed to collect 1,279 signatures. Well, let's hope the AG is serious in honouring his words......

The Star's article dated 17 February 2009:
============================
A-G shocked over claims in memo

PUTRAJAYA: Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail has directed his officers to look into allegations in a memorandum that an investigating officer failed to attend a rape trial and that the accused, who is out on bail, is harassing his underage victims.

“The A-G has expressed shock over the claims in the memorandum, especially those involving the Investigating Officer (IO) and promises to look into the matter as well as ensure that the trial runs smoothly after this,” said Mohamad Amsyari Mohamad Suhaimi, the chambers’ public relations officer.
Mohamad Amsyari, who took the memorandum up to Abdul Gani at 10.40am yesterday, returned 30 minutes later.


He said Abdul Gani had to leave for another engagement but had read the memorandum and told the prosecution division to look into the matter.
The memorandum carried the signatures of 1,279 women. It was submitted by K. Balasupramaniam, a social safety activist who is helping the victims’ parents, Com­munity Care Network representatives Michael Chang and Anita Lim and the parents of the two sisters and a cousin – aged 10, 12 and 13.


Balasupramaniam said the 2006 case had been postponed in January last year because the IO and interpreter were absent; in August because the medical report was not ready and the IO was absent, and in December as the IO was absent.

“The parents lodged a police report after they managed to record a telephone conversation between the suspect and the eldest victim,” he told reporters at the Chambers lobby.

Balasupramaniam said the man had asked the girl to say “I have forgotten” to any question asked of her in court, as well as to coax her sister to do the same for “ rewards".

=========================
On the issue of children as rape victims, Capt Bala told us this true incident. He said alot of parents have this tendency of telling their children to call their genitals as ~ pipi, winie, bird, kuku, etc etc. One child rape victim aged 5 years old gave her testimony in court saying "ular masuk dalam weewee adik". She was relating the penetration incident. She knew the rapist. He was the uncle. The court found this testimony as inadmissible in court. Yes, indeed it was cruel but the court wanted to hear facts, not fairy tale stories.

Fortunately, after going through some innovative ways and not forgetting court time delays, it was later evidenced out in court the detailed descriptions based on the poor child's understanding on what ular and weewee meant to her interpretation.

Morale of this case study: DO NOT teach your children to call their genital parts using fancy names. They have to be taught the exact words...no matter how young they are.

Please spread this little film

Credit goes to Yasmin ~ go to her blog for stories on how this film is made by clicking on above title.

A simple ad for the SPCA org.

A very meaningful story of an austistic Malay child and a dog that caught his attention.

Too bad if this ad is shown on tv, the child and his parents look Chinese.

People will not know the message behind this ad.

It is simple....Islam never says touching and rearing a dog is haram. Search in the Quran and you will never find any verse that says a dog is haram. In fact, in Surah 5:4 and Surah 18:18, neither mentions that dogs are unclean or nasty. The first states that animals captured by hunting dogs are halal to eat. The second describes a group of exemplary young men who happened to have a guard dog.

It has always been the misconception amongst the Malays who were brought up to think a dog is haram. It is najis and cannot be touched.

But if it is najis....handling a cat or any animal is also najis.

A dog is a man's best friend. A dog is the guardian, the protector.

Christine Collins and her missing son



I always love real life stories movies. Most times, after watching them, I go online wanting to read more about these stories. The real people who were portrayed in the movies.
The movie ~ Changeling is portrayed based on the real life story of a single mother whose 9 year old son went missing. The frantic search for her son, her fights against the LA Police Department who goofed up on her case and her lawsuits after. One thing for sure, at 78 Clint Eastwood is still on a roll, still making and directing movies.

Anyway, above 2 pictures are the real Christine Collins and her son, Walter Collins. At the end of the movie, Mrs Collins still had hope to find her missing son. She died at the age of 94 in 1985, never finding him.
By now, if Walter is still alive, he is 90 years old. Imagine the power of the internet and the publicity of this movie, somewhere out there....someone, some family members of his (if he got married and has children of his own or his grandkids), or his friends who can come forward to tell us, the world, yes, Walter survived the gruesome serial killings of children then.....he escaped. what a closure to Mrs Collin's tragic life.
Was also interesting to read articles on the real serial killer of children portrayed in the movie ~ Gordon Stewart Northcott. It was real satisfying watching the hanging scene of this killer.......!!!!
Angelina Joline ~ deservedly nominated for this year's Oscar Best Actress category. Although I think Meryl Streep deserves to win this award as Sister Aloysius Beauvier in "Doubt".

The 'Wow' Factor

Chestnut

A farmer named Lakbir Singh was overseeing his herd in a remote pasture in Bolehland when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.

The driver, a young Malay man in an Armani suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the farmer, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"Lakbir looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.

Within mere seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data is stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-colour, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the farmer and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Lakbir.He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Lakbir says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?""You're a graduate from Oxford and a Member of Parliament for Umno," says Lakbir.

"Wow! That's correct," exclaims the yuppie with the customary Umno's Wow Factor, "But how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required," answered Lakbir. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, and to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter you are, and you don't know a thing about cows. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog."

Political Blooper


* picture source: http://www.yes-minister.com/

Remember the 80s comedy shows? I used to watch "Yes Minister", later known as the "Yes Prime Minister" show. I love the sarcasm debates between the PM Jim Hacker and his principal private secretary, Bernard Woolley and Sir Humphrey Appleby, the Permanent Secretary.

I liked this particular scene, dialogues verbatim between the PM and his wife:

PM: being an MP is a vast, subsidized ego trip. It's a job you need no qualifications, no compulsory hours of work, no performance standards. A warm room and subsised meals for a bunch of opinionated wingbags and busybodies who suddenly find people taking them seriously because they've got 'MP' after their names.

wife: You were an 'MP' 5 years ago.

pm: I was the exception. I was the cream. I rose to the top.

wife: so you ordered the clampdown.

pm: I can't do that. I'm only the Prime Minister.

wife: But you're in charge.

pm: A leader can only lead by consent, consensus. That's democracy.

wife: So who is in charge?

pm: Nobody, really.

wife: Is that good?

pm: It must be. That's what democracy is all about.

==============================
Sarcasms at its best on democracy. Reflecting back to what's going on in this country and still going on, and almost in all corners of the world, people are battling with losing jobs and facing recessions, our politicians really forget who put them there in their seats. Before March '08 and after, same old shits are happening.
