Unwanted decorations

It's an eyesore, really.

It's been over for a few days now.

It reflects upon you.

You can start here.

Take down your flags and banners!

Everyone else has.

Is the Wake Up Call loud enough?

You've got 5 years to prove yourself.

Don't disappoint us again.

Sexist bastards

Let's just eliminate the female sex then.

That's how close I came to being killed on the road today. I swear, one of these days the government will cause us to die. Why do I say that??

Well let me tell you just why!!

I was driving home, and just as I was very close to the traffic lights, the green lights suddenly disappeared and I expected to see yellow lights come on, followed by red but noooooo!! Infact, nothing else came on after that and by that time, my car was in the middle of the intersection and suddenly all the other cars on the other side of the road began to move towards me!!! I couldn't even think when I saw all those vehicles coming very close towards me! But luckily my foot did the thinking for me (lol) and I flooooored it so that I wouldn't get hit and as I did that, I heard the cars braking and honking me. Sure, like it's my fault! But nevertheless, I was glad that they had the sense to brake if not we'd all be in some serious trouble.

It was a really scary experience, one of the scariest I've had so far on the road. I felt shaken up for quite some time after that, as the whole thing kept looping in my head over and over again. If I have a guardian angel, thank you soooo much for looking out for me--multiple times. I've been lucky and I got lucky this time...but I may not next time. Therefore, GOVERNMENT PLEASE BLOODY DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR *NEW* TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHICH SEEM TO KAPUT FROM THE STUPIDEST THINGS LIKE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't imagine if we had hurricanes or earthquakes, we might as well not install traffic lights.

It seems that no sooner after I had just blogged a food post, here I am typing up another food post--but hey, when inspiration hits, you do what you gotta do; blog.

First off, *clapclap* to the government for doing something about curbing the growing obesity problem among Malaysians. Secondly, *BOO* to them for putting all the blame on all-things-foreign again--this time--fast food chains. Before you smack me, I agree that Mickey Dees, KFC, A&W and all the others contain like a bajillion calories but they are not the only culprits to people getting fatter and someone should smack some VIP for exonerating local fares from this problem.

Of courselah, I'm talking about all those mamak stores and coffee shops which also serve dishes that contain a bajillion calories!! If they want to protect the interests of local fares, that's fine, but come on lah, who are they really kidding?? The masses should have the right to know what's in our local fare as well--MORE SO since it's local and presumably we eat it more often. Let the people know that while Mickey's Filet-O-Fish has about 600 calories, our favorite char koey teow also has about 600 calories! Don't even get me started on chinese fried rice and worse, mamak food which can be found dripping in oil and swimming in fatty coconut milk. Fast food contains more preservatives you argue? Is fresh food swimming in oil or coconut milk any better?

Ask a non-thin person how they got so fat and more often than not, their first immediate answer would be "too much mamaking, of course!" See what I'm saying? Even if they do just go for drinks, how is Coke better when our teh tarik or ais milo are so thick, you might as well be drinking the powder. Heaping spoonfuls of condensed milk? Bring it on.

While I'm not trying to portray myself as a fast food advocate nor am I going to pull a "Fast Food Nation" stunt, I do think the government should require our favorite mamak hangouts and coffee shops to display the nutritional content of their fares.

I mean, y'know, if you truly want to curb this obesity thing...
