If you are American, Happy Fourth of July and all that. May your Budweisers flourish forever (as long as they don’t flourish in Malaysia)

If you have not heard, it was reported on Monday that Umno recruiting team of writers to fight ‘cyber war’. The first thing I did when I read that was to LOL. Then… I don’t know.
Seriously, what would you expect from the counter site? If you have nothing better to contribute than ‘lies lies all lies omg’ then don’t bother commenting lah 
Because from where I stand, it’s a good thing if they are willing to embrace this whole cyberspace thing. If the proposed site is a blog, then hopefully Malaysian blogs would ceased to be painted in a negative manner in local media, because part of the ruling coalition is doing it too (maybe MCA already has one but I wouldn’t know).
But I think it will be a problem for UMNO. You see, if one wishes to counter ‘lies’ and whatnot, one would have to produce all threads of evidence to prove that such an incident didn’t happen, or s/he bought this or that with his or her own money, or s/he was seriously misquoted because [..]… Already it is evident from news reports that BN may not really be united (e.g. people under the PM contradict each other, or the PM). To be more credible mah… unless that is not part of the strategy, then I have nothing to say… heh
I am not trying to stir furor before the upcoming elections (before someone from UMNO wishes to counter my thoughts ). I just think that the counter site or blog may not work in UMNO’s favour after all. They would have to really try darn hard to prove everything, and I don’t think some members would be willing to reveal everything. Lack of transparency seems to be working fine for them, so why fix something that ain’t broke?
Unless Datuk Azalina means to refute everything in the local print media. But then it won’t be a fair fight right… ? I don’t mind some (or lots of) spinning, I think it would be interesting and enlightening as long as (a) it’s a fair fight, i.e. blog vs blog, and; (b) the situation does not end up like our parliament ‘debates’.

OK, on to more serious things… I have been thinking some stuff lately, and I came up with these conclusions:
1) There is not much sound quality difference between legit and pirated music CDs
2) It doesn’t matter which petrol station I go to — my car can’t tell the difference between Shell, Petronas, Esso, Caltex etc
3) Ferry Corsten’s mix of BT’s Force of Gravity is better than Tiesto’s
4) My bosses are awesome
5) Familiarity breeds extremely slow service, e.g. mamak down the stairs from the office
6) When I am happy, people around me are emo, and vice versa. Am I the female version of Evan Treborn?
7) The suckier the Harry Potter books, the better the movies
Ryan is growing taller
9) Mandriva is nicer to use than SuSE
Lalala.

hey, I came up with number seven first!!!!
Agree, the fight is good as long as the it doesn’t end up in lame astroturfing and(then) police report. ;p
It is fact anyway
————–
1) Well, they are duplicate digitally, isn’t it?
2) Only method of pumping does matters. Pump at night, use slow pumping will give you extra mileage.
3) & 4) ….personal preference? :p
5) Next time, make “hutang”
6) It is impossible to please everyone :p
7) Hmmmm
9) I discover the pain when switching mandriva to Suse.
OK. Out of the list of 9 things, there are 2 that I don’t know a thing about
Only 2. LOL.
Budweiser is the king of beers, you know.
mad: you poor poor american!
eyeris: sorry hor.. i had the conclusion before u blogged about it
moo-t: why pump slower = more mileage?
pelf: which 2?
mad: glad you like it then
‘I have been thinking some stuff lately’
*FAINTS*
1) Should be no difference in sound quality. Not hard to rip a file, music should remain the same. [Not that I condone music piracy].
Kids do that
2) Some of the pertol is probably produced at the same refinery. I know in Australia Caltex and AMPOL use the same one. My elder brother once tried telling me that Ampols petrol was better, and I had to have a laugh, as it all comes from the Kurnel refinery out of the same tanks.
3) Netwon’s force of gravity makes apples land on my head!
4) My boss is awesome. She is also a great cook … I’m going to get SOOOOooo Fat!!! [And she's also a vegetarian like me!]
5) Familiarity breeds long conversations.
6) Eh, regardless of how others feel, I’m depressed!
7) Don’t know, haven’t bothered with the books. They can’t be as good as Pratchet!
9) I use Fedora … [says Dabido from his XP machine!!! *blush*]
I had the conclusion way before YOU had the conclusion! bleh!
