What with all that paranoia about what language we learn in school and how it can somehow affect our nationalism if we learn any other language is a proven science. Think about it. If we learn too much foreign language like English, we’d be expose to the whole wide world of evil, evil English blogs.

That’s not good.

It’s better that our students not speak a word of English and can only speak in BM and a smattering of our mother tongues is good enough. But then, why the heck do we need to learn English when the BM that are being used nowadays practically cannibalised English?

Case in point:

persepsi

situasi

agensi

polis

innovasi

demonstrasi

and many more of such words. In fact, there is even a point where I became confused as to the right spelling of a word because it has been cannibalised into BM.

So, yay, good for you for turning our younger generation into a bunch of guinea pigs where at one point, you decide they learn Maths and Science in English and at another point, they learn it in BM or whatever language but not English.

How brilliant.

Never mind that by the time they reach Form Six, they will probably flunk out because Science and Maths in Form Six is in English.

Never mind that their Science will probably suck and their spelling of scientific terms will all be in cannibalised forms that they probably won’t be able to spell hydrochloric sulfide molecule but spell it as hydroklorik sulfida molekul or something like that.

What matters is that the bahasa kebangsaan must be protected at all costs. The students must be dumbed down at all costs. The people protected from the evils of English Language at all costs. Cannibalising the English words is the best way to deal with the evil language.

This way, the people who can’t converse, read or write proper English will be stuck in Malaysia for life leading piddly lives thinking the political leaders are the greatest gifts from heaven.

This way, the people with their poor English will not know that:

Our standard of living SUCKS because they won’t even understand the meaning of sucks.

The costs of living here is exhorbitant

The average salary for the general population is way below par

The grass is in fact greener elsewhere because the people are not blinded by empty promises where political leaders become fatter and richer while the people become thinner and poorer

There are vast opportunities out there that could improve our lives

The promise of emphasis on learning English with more teachers is a way to ‘pacify’ those who insists on wanting a better education system

So, you see. English is so evil. It could expose us to the evils of the outside world. It is best that we stick to our narrow minded thinking of studying only in BM and our mother tongues and remain under the coconut shell the government intend to keep us under.

While they are at it, they might as well do away with the education system entirely and only teach BM, basic math, religion and the complete history of Malaysia (with all the unnecessary anti-government events removed as if it never happened). No need for science since it is basically pretty evil considering most of it came from the West.

And who needs education anyway when the preoccupation is more on making the students memorise half truths and learn one language while the actual gaining of knowledge is forgotten and considered unimportant.

Why do we need knowledge at all anyway?

After all, we have always been spoon-fed all those lies, half-truths and whatnots about how great they are, how wonderful they are, how brilliant they are…etc…

1. ask for a divorce

2. pretended it was all okay as long as the spouse do not leave them

3. forgave the cheating spouse and start over in hopes that it won’t happen again

Well, I think that is just way TOO boring a way to deal with cheating spouses. I mean, come on. Your husband broke your trust, crushed your heart, destroyed your family and caused much emotional pain to you and your children because he decided to listen to his tiny brain in his groin. And you are just going to let him get away with it easily?

No way.

REVENGE is always SWEET when it comes to getting even against a cheating husband / boyfriend / partner/ whatever.

I mean. Come on. Just watch the ‘Butterfly on a Wheel’ movie (starring the gorgeous Pierce Brosnan…ahhh..sigh) for some inspiration.

Anyway, I’ve thought about it and if my husband dared to even think of cheating on me, I have come up with a list of things I’d do to get even.

1. Immediately withdraw ALL the money from our joint account and deposit it into my personal account.

2. Go on a shopping spree using the supplementary cards he gave me and max every single one of it out.

3. Use the scissors to destroy all of his favourite, branded, expensive clothes or better still, take it all and donate it to Salvation Army.

4. Slash all four tyres of his car, smash the windscreen and spray the words ‘JERK’ and ‘CHEATER’ on the bonnet, doors, everywhere of the car.

5. ‘Accidentally’ drop his expensive new laptop (or whatever new expensive gadget he thoroughly favored and loved)…..from the 15th floor of a building

6. Take videos of him in the toilet and post it on youtube with the title ‘Cheater at it’ and then forward it to everyone who knows him.

7. Gather evidence of him goofing off from work and then report him to his company with proof such as videos and photographs.

8. Prepare an absolutely wonderful meal just for him and lace it with plenty of laxatives…but before this, make sure the food is served at a picnic spot where the nearest toilet is miles away.

9. Stuff leftover uncooked shrimp shells into his shoes and in a hidden compartment in his car.

10. Finally, before I kick him out of the house, give him a very good, hard kick in the groin, preferably wearing steel-toed boots.

There. Much more fun and therapeutic than asking for a divorce, don’t you think? And although some men do repent after they strayed once and not do it again, we will never know. The trust is broken and it is not something all that easy to forgive and forget.

First, there’s this sudden bout of loads of work at work…and to think, I thought I am paid to surf the net and blog in my personal blog

And then there’s this stupid techie / script whatever problem with my sites causing the server to crash…so, every once in a while, my site will be suspended because of the techie script crap problem that is overloading the server. I wouldn’t flatter myself into thinking this blog is receiving tremendously loads of traffic (HAH!) but it’s basically down to some techie stuff I don’t know about or don’t quite understand.

So, while I am trying to sort that out so that my hosting account doesn’t get suspended again…please be patient. I may also be fiddling with new themes and such in order to get rid of whatever bug that’s bugging this site or my other sites in this account. Crap. Hate these techie related problems.

Damn and it’s because of my fiddling with different themes that got my blog banned by Google. I didn’t notice that the theme had HID all the outgoing links in my posts and Google DESPISES hidden links so from a PR3, my site is now a grey bar. Sigh. What luck. Of all the time for the Google PR update, it has to be when I am using a stupid theme that hid the links. Ceh.

So, the search to get rid of the troublematic script problems that’s plaguing my site is on. Till then, I won’t be updating this site much for now.

Nope. Not in the least.

For one thing, my brother was on a steady relationship with a wonderful woman before this new sis-in-law turned up and decided to wrangle her way in. If that’s not bad enough, she told her gangster friends to warn my brother’s girlfriend that if she don’t get lost, ’something bad’ will happen to her and her family. And the worst of it is that she even used black magic to make sure my brother fall for her (I didn’t know this last fact until much, much later when it is way, way too late to do anything to break the ’spell’.)

And all for what? It’s because she thought my brother came from a loaded family and due to my brother’s inborn generosity, she assumed he’s also loaded. After she effectively got rid of the ex-girlfriend with very real threats against the poor woman’s life and family, she proceeded to suck all the money she could get from my brother.

Of course, she is no ravishing beauty. She is not even highly educated and could not speak a word of English or even BM! Still, even when she’s with my brother, she was playing around outside, hoping to score a ‘bigger’ fish. Well, with that kind of background and the only places that she frequent are pubs and bars, it seems that her effort to score a bigger, richer fish are in vain.

So, she decided to make my brother marry her. My brother is not into commitment and marriage so when she wanted to get married, he told her to do everything and he will only pay for the costs. He’s not all that bothered about having a big wedding do and all. If she had genuinely loved him, she would be crushed or even frustrated that my brother didn’t seem keen on the wedding. But no, the bi@tch was damn happy! It’s her chance to ask as much money from him as possible.

She planned a huge wedding. She asked for a huge dowry. And my brother paid for everything just so that he doesn’t have to lift a finger to help in the preparations. It probably costs him up to RM20k or possibly more.  The woman wanted to have three dinners. One for her side, another for my brother’s side and another for their friends in KL.

If according to normal tradition, she will have to pay for her own side of the dinner and for the dinner on my brother’s side, my brother will allow her to invite perhaps a table or two of her close relatives. But NO. She asked for a huge cash dowry so that it can pay for her side of the dinner. Then she demanded to have 10 tables reserved for her family and friends for the dinner on my brother’s side. That’s not bad enough. She some more dared to demand that her family and friends all sit right on the front while the rest of us, the groom’s side, are pushed to the back and the side. We are talking about the dinner on my brother’s side here, not her side so she has no right to do that but my brother let her get away with it because he just could not be bothered.

What an absolute cow.

So, when a relative made the remark that she is the worst looking of the lot amongst her girl friends, I couldn’t help sniggering in delight. He even said she looked like an old auntie and much, much older than my brother. HAH.

Of course, I have worse things to call her. Such as BI@TCH. WITCH. COW. Gold-digging hussy. Slut.

My father wasn’t too happy about the marriage either. He knew from the start that the woman is only after money and nothing else. She took glee in spending all my brother’s money even when my brother was deep in debt and needed to clear all his debts.

This is one case where I hope my brother will cheat on her and it will serve her right!

Now, our only hope is that she will just find a really rich guy and in the words of MJ, ‘BEAT IT’! My brother is not exactly rich but he is doing quite okay in his business now and from the looks of it, she’s probably leeching off him as much as possible now. She’s probably thinking my dad is rich and hoping that my dad will leave a chunk of his fortune to my brother since my brother is the eldest child.

HAH. Fat hope, bi@tch. I have two younger brothers. If anything, my dad probably will leave most of whatever assets he has left to them so that they can continue studying.

Just you wait, you bi@tch! Your day will come.

Wuuaahhhh…I feel so much better after this rant…

Anyway, I am just writing this debate because it seems to be a hot issue amongst new mommies and even some 2X / 3X / 4X or however many times mommies. Do bear in mind this is my point of view. I am no doctor, no gynae, no obstetrician, no scientist, no whatever expert. It is all based on my own personal experience. You don’t like it, scram. Go complain about it in your own blog or something.Just don’t clog up my comments with your displeasure or whatever crap. Hmmm…talking of which, to all those who used to leave comments here, I have enabled the comment moderation because of spam comment problems and some other techie stuff. So, your comments will appear only after I approve them.

Now, lets proceed. I will do it on point form.

Voluntary Ceasarean delivery (C-Section)

- mother goes under local anaesthesia and is usually out throughout the operation but now there’s a choice for mothers to be fully aware of what’s going on.

- it is not just a delivery but a major operation as the obstetritician will be cutting the mother open to remove the baby and then sew up the incision. This means, it will leave scars not only on the skin but below the skin and inside too.

- not advisable to have more than three children using this method because for the second and third child, incision will be made on the same spot and the skin can only take so many times of being cut open and sewn up.

- painful recovery since it’s a major operation and the stitches will need extra care. It is even more painful for the second and third delivery via ceasarean.

- since it is so painful and a major operation, you won’t be able to walk for the first and second days after delivery without feeling excruciating pain.

- there are other dangers involved as the baby may not be ready to come out (if operation date is before due date), excessive bleeding, an inept surgeon doing it may even cut the baby (it has happened before in some government hospitals), again, an inept surgeon may leave a ’souvenir’ inside and the mother has to be cut open again to remove the ’souvenir’ (yep, this has also happened before), the mother may experience blood poisoning, sudden drop in blood pressure and other complications.

- it is not what nature intended

- you will need to limit your activities and won’t be able to lift heavy things or even carry the baby too often as it may affect the stitches. Some women, whose healing rate is slower, are not even able to go for normal exercise in the first 6 months after the delivery.

- after the first c-section, the mother will need to wait at least two years before planning a second child as getting pregnant too soon may affect the stitches and cause bleeding.

- if you opt to be put under when the operation was done, you won’t get to see the baby when it comes out. You will only get to see the baby hours later. This means you won’t be able to initiate mother-child bonding nor will you be able to start breastfeeding immediately to stimulate your glands to start producing milk.

Mind you, the ceasarean section I am talking about is the one where some parents chose to opt for it instead of going for natural delivery. If a mother was wheeled in for an emergency ceasarean because of some medical complications, then it is a different matter altogether.

However, I absolutely do not understand those who opt to go for ceasarean for the below reasons:

- an auspicious birth date for the baby (yeah, sure. If it’s not even time for the baby to come out, how can a date the parent chose be considered the real birthdate? It’s not chosen by the powers above. They might as well choose to commit suicide on a certain date because it is a good auspicious date to die. What a load of hogwash!)

- fear of pain (this is the most ridiculous reasons EVER. It takes about 2 weeks of VERY, VERY painful recovery for someone who underwent ceasarean while someone who went for natural delivery do not feel pain after a few days)

- fear of tearing of the…err..private parts (another stupid fear. Hello? Nature intended for us to deliver babies there and nowadays, doctors will do the cutting so there would not be excessive tears. And then they stitch you back and the stitches heal within several days or in worst case scenario within two weeks – except for cases where you refused to maintain a good hygiene and got it infected…)

- fear of labour pains (again, I’d say the pain after the c-section is worst than the natural delivery pain. Labour pains only happen during labour. Once the baby is out, you don’t feel anymore pain except for some uncomfortable stinging down below. For c-section, you don’t feel labour pain but you will feel the pain of the surgery for weeks after that)

Let’s look at natural delivery:

Natural delivery

- women has been doing it since the time of Adam and Eve

- you are fully aware of what’s going on and you know when the moment the baby comes out

- you will be able to touch and hold and even breastfeed the baby almost immediately after it’s out and was cleaned, measured and whatever by the doctors

- you will suffer labour pains but once the baby is out, it will be like a huge relieve from tremendous pressure and yes, it will make you appreciate your mother more and feel in awe with the way nature works.

- you can have as many children as you possibly could using this method of delivery

- your stitches down below heal faster and you will be able to walk a mere few hours after the delivery without feeling excruciating pain.

- you can resume normal activities and exercise once the stitches have healed which takes about a week or so.

- you don’t have to worry about the stitches and it not healing properly because like I said, the stitches down below are fewer and heals faster.

- there are also possible complications like umbilical cord around the baby’s neck, excessive bleeding, etc.

Whatever the method of delivery, there are always the possibility of complications because we are talking about human lives here and humans are a fragile lot. But why go for a method that held more risks than the natural way that do not have as many risks?

So, for my second baby, I will definitely go for natural delivery. I feel that C-section should only be for emergency cases, not a choice some parents make just because they have some stupid fears or stupidstition about the date of birth.

From a PR3 to a N/A…

And I didn’t even do any paid posts for so long already…

Niamah!

Oh well, but then I have not been really paying this blog much attention and the traffic is terrible…piddly, if you can call it that…

Sigh…luckily I don’t rely on this blog to earn money online or else gone already lah…pheww…

Better go check up all my other money-making sites NOW.

Everytime I write about the hot, humid weather, it will rain. In my previous post, I complained about the hot weather and then it rained.

Just this morning I wrote another post on hot, sweaty, humid weather and now it’s pouring complete with thunder and strong wind.

So, I have deduced that this blog has the power to change the weather…if I complained about the hot, humid weather, it will rain! Ooooo…this means I can control the weather…bwahahahahaahahahahaaha….

Although I’d prefer other special powers like turning stones into pure gold or turning paper into money…but heck, controlling weather…I guess we can’t choose the powers we get, eh?

Hmmm…I wonder if I complained enough about the stupid ridiculous government  we have and it’d mean we’d get a smarter, intelligent government soon?

O, powerful, blog! Before you grant my wish for a more intelligent government, can I please have RM1mil first? Pretty please? Pretty, pretty, please? I promise I’d update this blog all the time. I promise I will use the money to put this blog in an exclusive VPS for a more comfortable..err..hosting…And also, I wouldn’t mind you granting me like a million more wishes so that I could wish for….

*pinches self to wake self up from ridiculous daydreaming*

When you are hot and sweaty….

• You can say you ARE hot…e.g. “I am HOT” and people won’t think you are so thick-skinned to think you are really that hot (you know, hot as in sexy, sizzling hot and not sweaty, warm hot)
  
• You don’t need special effects to have that shiny, wet look on your hair and body because your sweat does all the work for you already and you are on the way to look like one of those shiny, wet models in swimwear…
  
• You can organise a wet t-shirt competition as an excuse to cool down (if you are a guy, loads of wonderful ‘views’ for you and if you are a girl, loads of wonderful attention…)
• You can go on public transportation and people will avoid you because all the sweat means only one thing: BODY ODOUR
• You can beat any long queues with the same tactic, just lift your arms and let the ‘aroma’ flow and people will immediately give you their place…just remember to stay away from all those deodorant
• You don’t need to spend money to go to a spa with sauna…just leave your car outside for a few hours and then hop in and enjoy your own free sauna
• You can water your plants with your sweat…just dab the sweat with a hankie and then wring it to water the plants. So, you save water.

So, you see…having hot, sweaty days aren’t all that bad at all. You only need to look on the bright side of it!

So, why don’t I switch on the air-cond you ask? Well. Think about it.

The heat and haze is due to global warming. Global warming is caused by what the experts would call greenhouse effects. And in layman’s term, it means, all those bad-for-environment stuffs that we do are causing this unbearable sweaty heat. This means…

1. I switch on air-cond, I contribute to the heat.

2. I throw away plastic bags, I contribute to the heat.

3. I don’t recycle, I contribute to the heat.

4. I don’t practice car-pooling, I contribute to the heat.

5. I do open burning, I contribute to the heat.

6. I commit unforgivable sins, I end up in the fire pit of hell…errr…oops, this is way off topic….

And so on.

That’s why I didn’t switch on the air-cond just because I am hot and sweaty. Besides, it’s very expensive to switch on the air cond. I don’t want to be paying higher electric bill just because of some sweat.

Instead, I could suggest some other less environmentally damaging measures (and cheap too!!) …

1. Be naked at home (but make sure your curtains are in place and you are not flashing your poor neighbours and passerbys..however, if that turns you on, what the heck, you are after all in your own home…)

2. Place a block of ice behind your table fan and let it rip…ahhhhh…that’s what I call home-made cheap air-cond.

3. Fill up a bottle of water and freeze it. Then, wrap it in a thin towel and hug it like a hot water bottle, except that it’s a cold water bottle.

4. Fill a bottle with a spray nozzle with cold water. Then spray it in on your neck and face regularly. Nothing like a wonderful cool spritz of water. (it works better if you are naked…)

5. Jump into your apartment swimming pool for a cool refreshing soak in the water. Whether you skinny dip or dressed in your swimwear is entirely up to you. If your place doesn’t have a swimming pool, easy. Go over to a friend / relative/ friend’s friend place that has one.

6. Go to the shopping mall and sit there. After all, shopping malls are already air conditioned so you are not the one directly contributing to the global warming. You are only there to enjoy what they provide for free.

7. Go to work and stay in the office till late since most offices are also air-conditioned (but you don’t necessarily have to actually work, you could goof off by surfing the net or something).

8. Go to places like Starbucks and McDonalds with your friends. Since your friends will be getting drinks, you don’t even need to get any drinks but ask from a cup of cold water and then sit there and enjoy the company and the air-cond.

9. Stare at this picture long and hard and tell yourself, ‘I feel very, very COLD’ repeatedly.

10.   Have some fun sliding ice cubes on your body or better still, get your spouse / girlfriend / boyfriend to do it for you….but be prepared that it may lead to some..err..extremely ’sweaty exercise’.

Go try these cool down tips and enjoy yourself…if all else fails, migrate to north pole and move in with Santa Claus (if he exists at all..haha). I am sure it’s still freezing over there and no H1N1 there yet (I think)…

Now, excuse me while I go search for some ice cubes…
