As Suanie Sees It

I think there are times when one’s patience and limit are reached… no, more like stretched until it seemed impossible to be stretched any more but you can’t stop it from being pulled and pulled and pulled and stretched and stretched and stretched to the point of one getting fucked by the ugliest man alive front back and middle but it feels like it’s not as bad as this for love is all you need even if it’s not the type of love you’d imagined.

I tell you what lah. It is because I’m a Malaysian and I love my country and I really do believe in the future that it fucking upsets me when we get featured like this on a news site that I have higher respect for than the CNN or any Malaysian papers.

The shit hit the fans real bad. I’m not that naive to believe that this would be the end of the show, nor it being the high point.

IT JUST MAKES ME FUCKING TULAN, CAN?!?!?!?!?

Of course someone was misunderstood. Where even Gandhi, Princess Di and Mother Teresa were not spared from criticism, it would be really nice to be misunderstood for a most politically socially economically incorrect statement like that.

Oh just a misunderstanding, all of you heard wrongly, nothing serious, kacau you only, moving on moving on.

But why do we know better?

Or it is us who need telepathy?

ARGH RAGHH BARGHHHH GIMME A FUCKING COW AND I’D SNAP THE SODDING ANIMAL’S NECK LIKE A TWIG AND DRINK ALL ITS BLOOD AND FEED ON THE FUCKING CARCASS THERE AND THEN AND I’D BE FUCKING INSTITUTIONALISED OR DEAD SO I DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS FUCKING SHIT ANY MORE!!!

TIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first time at the new Finnegan’s at Midvalley. As Paul said, should have been my third. Hehehe sowee.

Not cheap leh the beer. But what to expect, Irish pub in Malaysia what.

That fella on top right is Aaron, Paul’s funny colleague.

Then Paul and I went to have dinner at Chili’s. The beer in the collage above was actually Finnegan’s, but I don’t have more photos of Chili’s so it’s a filler, just like this post.

IMNSHO, Chili’s serve one of the better steaks I’ve eaten. Best taken medium.

And I think the Finnegan’s beer mats are so cool.

Canada’s government is thrown out

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin’s government has been ousted in a no-confidence vote.

Canada’s three opposition parties united against his Liberal Party, which has been mired in a corruption scandal.

Mr Martin will seek the dissolution of parliament on Tuesday, and a date for a general election - thought likely to be 16 or 23 January.

Recent polls suggest Mr Martin’s Liberals will take most votes in the election - but will not win a majority.

In parliament on Monday evening the opposition voted by 171-133 to bring down Mr Martin’s government.

“This has been an historic evening,” said opposition Conservative leader Stephen Harper.

“This is not just the end of a tired directionless scandal-plagued government. It’s the start of a bright new future for this great country.”

Mr Martin insisted his party would win the election.

He said he would visit Governor General Michaelle Jean on Tuesday to ask her to dissolve parliament, after which the election date would be announced.

Lost support

His government has only been in power for 17 months, but has failed to shake off a scandal dating from a previous Liberal administration.

In the late 1990s C$100m ($85m; £50m) of public money was paid by the Liberal government to advertising agencies, for little or no work in return.

It has been alleged that Liberal officials demanded kickbacks for awarding the contracts.

Mr Martin is not implicated in the scandal, but the opposition says he has lost all moral authority.

The prime minister fought off a no-confidence motion in May by a single vote, but lost the support of the New Democrat party earlier this month following a row over private health care spending.

The New Democrats joined the Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois in bringing the latest motion after Mr Martin rejected their ultimatum for an early election in February.

*thinks thinks thinks*

Ho ho ho Suanie, one day you are so gonna get into trouble.

There are some things in life that you just can’t run and hide from, one of which is getting older simply because… well one is just too old to run. Undoubtedly most of you would remark, “no you are not old, you are still so young etc”. But I can tell you this much — my youth deserted me over the weekend.

Hence the Salonpas pain relieving patch thingy on my arm. I don’t do sports, I don’t run, I don’t have hardcore sex, I don’t do a Yehudi Menuhin on my Stradivarius down South; the ache just quietly crept in. The patch thing works so good that I now have some over my back and neck, and I shall go buy some more.

Yes it is a mid twenties life crisis sort of thing.

Last Saturday I attended a colleague’s wedding dinner at the Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant, located at Jln. Pudu opposite the Tung Shin hospital. Post-beer, of course.

Anyway I almost skipped it because I wasn’t really feeling up to it (refer to patch thing on arm photo above). Jaime said that I had to attend, because there would be abalone which is of course a Chinese delicacy; an abalone dish at a wedding dinner is some sort of a status reflection — “WE ARE RICH WE ARE RICH WE ARE RICH!!!” That was my impression growing up anyway.

The dinner was good, more to do with friends and colleagues I’ve known for years. Okay one last thing on abalone — I don’t understand why it’s a delicacy; it tastes rubbery, it tak serap rasa, it’s not economically feasible and one tiny serving of it doesn’t exactly leaves me hankering for more.

/end absurd traditional Chinese notions of good food rant

But I’ll show you a photo of it anyway, along with some other stuff I ate yesterday.

There, the abalone with mushrooms on top left. Okay, it looks good I admit, but we all know that looks can be very deceiving. Or maybe what I’m trying to say very inarticulately is that it doesn’t taste as good as it should with how it looks. Ahah!

And next to it was Sunday lunch. KY blogged about it here. One fish for one person, yay so happy!

And I had coconut water and maybe 18 hours later, a small cake bought from Cold Storage. Part of their Xmas cake sale thingy. Cake is always good.

Here are some random people.

And here’s a backdated photo of when we were at Thai Club, when I was feeling more springy than I am now.

And here’s a Suanie.net fan spelling my name with her lithe youthful body.

Bwahahahahahaha so on! Thanks Joel

And this is HB on the front page of Metro Ahad, 27 Nov 2005. The smudge bit on the top right was because I don’t really want to see dead bodies on Monday morning.

Like we do not have a bigger problem at the moment, eh? Hello? Cops? Corruption? Stripping? Ear squats? More Chinese nationals lodging police reports about being mistreated when they were here in Malaysia?

Priorities I tell ya.

Which led me to thinking; even NST has gone tabloid-size. Who is gonna be respectable now?

Malaysia, this is as good as it gets. Sorry about being cranky and pessimist and all that. It’s the strained muscles, I swear.

I bought this poster some time back, don’t really have any idea of where to hang it. I can’t possibly replace my very artistic black and white CK One poster which I’ve had for a few years, and I can’t hang it above my work station in the room because… well I wouldn’t be able to work properly then, temptations leading to wanting to satisfy thy temptations and all that. Dilemmas dilemmas.

But it looks good, doesn’t it? I think it’s the coolest thing, save for a skirt which I miraculously bought for RM20 (note: I have never ever been able to buy a RM20 skirt, Malaysian sizes et al).

Anyway this too is pretty cool:

How to Drink Beer
by peterb

Of all the foods that are acquired tastes, beer may be the most maligned and misunderstood. There are few foods for which you will readily find people who will boast, proudly, “Oh, I never drink beer. That stuff tastes terrible.”

The problem with this statement is that beer is perhaps one of the most complex drinks known to man. Not liking beer qua beer is sort of like saying you don’t like “vegetables.” So my assumption is that anyone who says they don’t like beer (as opposed to “I don’t like this particular beer”) just doesn’t know how to drink it.

Today, I’m going to teach you how to drink beer. That means I’m going to teach you how to find a beer that you think tastes delicious.
