New Malaysian Political Terms

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

I have not been following the latest news for awhile. Apparently the correct term for vote-buying or corruption used in the newspapers is:

Bribery / Corruption = ‘Money Politics’

Or in Bahasa Malaysia, the proper usage is as follows:

Rasuah / Korupsi = ‘Politik Wang’

What Really Happened…

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Mike - Why did you bring your baby here? You’re supposed to be working!
Jenny – Look, I’ve no choice! My babysitter cancelled at the last minute, my parents are out of town, and I can’t find anyone to look after her, so I had to bring her here!
Mike – Jenny, this is an important job! […]

Buy Apartment Also OK What?

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Further to my entry last week about buying houses in the Klang Valley, let’s not forget those who stay in apartments. Most of my friends stay in apartments, and I’m pretty warm with the idea.

What Sex Is Your Car?

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

I just learnt a new fact yesterday, from another blogger. You can tell the gender of a car by the shape of it. If it’s a boxy, squarish shape, it’s a MALE car. If it’s rounded in shape, then is a FEMALE car.
Guess who taught me this? None othert than our very own celebrity blogging […]

So Where to Buy a House?

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

Almost everyone I meet between the 24 to 30 age range like to talk about buying houses in the Klang Valley. It’s that age when we start working, plan to get married, so everyone needs a house to call their own. But being average income earners, we are limited in our choices of where to […]
