URBAN:TE | penang

one fine night, having dinner with my wife. we had a discussion about something silly but yet interesting. "CHOPSTICK" !!!

if any penangites were to realised, when you going for some hawker food. every plates came with a pair of chopstick. and if you're ordering side dishes, they come with (no. of pair according to how many ppl there is) even you already have 10 pair from the previous plate you ordered.

so for a 2 person meal, if you order 2 main meal(2 pair), 2 side dish(4 pair), 2 little snack (4 pair). you get total of 10 pair of freaking CHOPSTICK!!

this is a 2 meal with 2 side snack. .. "amazing penang"

Can A Family Man With Salary RM3,000 Survive In Malaysia!
Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia, the average family income is RM3,000 /month
(where father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose
monthly income does not reach RM3,000,
but, to make things simple,
let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has
Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)

Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100

Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)

Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155
(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)

Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)

Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300
(go to work, bring son to school,
only can afford one car running)

Insurance: RM650
(kids, wife and myself)

House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs,
retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition: RM80
(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)

Older children pocket money @ school: RM20
(RM1/day, eat bread?)

School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)

School books and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder: RM50
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)

Miscellaneous: RM100
(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no online,
cannot KFC,
cannot McDonald,
cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive),
no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit! RM3,610 already...

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?

How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?

Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!!

What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should be Malaysians Boleh , because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!

back.. i'm back.. busy and lazy. hahaha.

story of moo moo......
coming back from Equatorial to Tg Bungah.. at around 18:00 hours. enjoying my drive, smooth and quiet with light and easy fm playing.. happy mood "on" then passing thru Greenlane, a little traffic but not unbearable. then slowly i passed the turf club. birdie singing along the tree top "no drop on my car, lucky" with a smile on my face i keep driving using Jalan Utama (road) checking out those nice villa as usual, especially my favourite 121B. enjoying the right view and the left view then reach the traffic light...... my next turn woud reach Penang Chinese Girl School...green light "on" turn ... and!!

fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm stuck.. nobody is moving. it looks like piles of car q`ing for parking to a club. then i thought, well this is pretty expected, everyday (except weekend) thanks to those considerate mommy and daddy and up most considerate school bus driver. so i turn the music volume up a little to keep my "happy mood" "on" and slowly after like some fucking 20-30 minutes i THOUGHT i pass the critical area and I'm still stuck. i start wondering why? there should be no annoying bus and loving parent infront.. why is everybody still driving with the speed of 0.145kmph?

then i saw this .. when im finally moving a little faster than when my mum pushing a trolly in tesco.

it's 2008, the 2nd (i think) largest city in Malaysia with the longest bridge in Asia and in a country with the tallest twin tower in the world also we have an angkasawan going to space doing stupid teh tarik BUT we still have a group of moo moo on the road during rush hour? speechless!

not sure how genuine this is .. i got it from a forwarded mail so thinking of sharing it with you..

how you spend your monies when you have too much of it? Mr.Donald Trump set an example for all the richie rich on how to get rid of your extra "too much" money.

my next move, to apply for the job as a waiter at any restaurants or clubs that mr. trump frequent to..

"about 10,000 of Umno members Rally at KOMTAR Pulau Pinang to reject the abolishment of NEP by the new state government" should be what the media will report later this evening or tomorrow morning.

just came back from being stuck for hours in traffic cause by a rally by some of the monkey from UMNO penang. All because of the new gov announce that they will abolish the NEP (New Economic Policy) and will cause some of these corrupted UMNO monkey to lose all their monies making projects and to change their c-class to a s-class.

So, is this monkey leader of this (without permit) public demonstration will be detain by ISA? like the Hindraf or BERSIH? Well! at least give them some slap for causing me and hundreds of working peoples losing a couple of their precious working hour and few ringgit of fuel by stuck in traffic cause by his "MERELY" 500 peoples of rally? *of funny part i heard, you even get paid of RM80 by joining them*. Man you guys should be ashame of yourself and many many many of my Malays friends is ashame by your act, your party ruin everything.

if the next 13th general election the coalition get defeated again and can't even get a simple majority to form a governmet, we all know who is to blame and what causes all this.

creatively composed lyric and song. we have a lot of talented peoples in malaysia nowsaday.

holy mama! my vote is not wasted. CM Lim Guan Eng... man sui! man sui! man man sui!!

link from [ malaysia today ]
Posted by kasee
Tuesday, 11 March 2008

PENANG: Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said Tuesday that the Penang Municipal Council and Seberang Perai Municipal Council will waive all summonses involving hawker licences and parking offences issued before March 11.

Lim made the announcement just hours after being sworn in as Chief Minister.

The government could not estimate how much this involved, but Lim said that the waiver would not affect the councils' operations as it was monies not collected yet.

The announcements are part of the new government's "agenda for change to re-establish rule by the people,'' he said in a statement.

He said it will also review the policy of political appointments in the councils, and would look towards restoring local government elections.

Lim also promised that open tenders will be held for all state government procurement and contracts, adding that an online portal will be set up where information on tender bids would be posted for all to see.

All state government members and civil servants will also be required to publicly declare their assets.

"This is a government that is based on democracy. This is also a government that believes in equal opportunity and social economic justice. We are here to build a dynamic Penang for all,'' he said in the statement. - STAR

Malaysia GE12 Election : The New Beginning;the Sate of PENANG

the breath of new air; new government in the state of penang. finally the peoples speak up and barisan rakyat won as wished by people.

receive numerous of news ad smses regarding a riot that might happen. inside me, this is total bullshit. this is penang at 2008 not 1969. so now we can ignore that. first of i would like to congratulated those who won *remember your promises* (and can you guys clean up the city first?) and sorry for those who lost. as for the candidates that lost the battle *coalition*; i just want to tell you honestly from a opinion of a commoner, it have nothing to do with you. the peoples vote are against the coalition and not the candidates. it's just your luck in this election with the wrong party.

heard on the fm and news on tv, all the political scientist or analyst talking about the "why this is happening" and they came out with this and that. well, in my opinion. there is only a few causes which most of us know what. just nobody have the courage to speak up on national tv or radio.

and to dr. koh, i admire your courage to step-down *even you don't have to do so*, you did a rather good job as CM for the state all these years at least to me.

the most annoying thing after the election is the sleeper is still sleeping and the monkey is still jumping. when is these people going to wake up and face the fact!

keep saying there is no pressure my god!

let's keep this short and simple.

can anyone tell me where can i get this? it's the new DAP Rocket Kid mascot toy. I got to have one to add to my collection. Enlight me, thanks!

::: just my thought, a monkey or a newbie thought ::: Malaysia 12th General Election 2008

most of what i about to say is based on my own opinion and chat with friends and closeby also from what i see currently happen in Penang on this election only and not about the politics inside. just a commoner view.
first; banners, poster and flags! not sure about other states in Malaysia but in the state of Penang this is seriously sickening and unpleasant. waste of time and a money and not to mention a lot of paper. save the green konon! what is wrong? there is no such need for 3000pcs poster and flags on one single straight street of a kilometer, hello! we are commoners, the public but if you realised, we are not blind. a few nicely (professionally) done billboard is sufficient enough! you are competing to represent the peoples not who have the most good looking face on a poster. also, because there is a lot of rain and so windy lately those poster is flying everywhere because it's not properly installed. some even blocking the road sign and worst the traffic light. i can't see the green light hello !!????? we vote because you are a good peoples representative not because you are good looking. those thing makes my proud state looks ugly. very ugly and i'm sad.

this is not a paid post by bn, i am as same as many of you hoping for the opposition to make miracle but i know by fact and reality of this country it's almost impossible. any of us ever wonder what will actually happen if the opposition win this election. what will happen to all the big project that currently on going in penang? will it stop? if the opposition won the battle; will the central keep supplying the state opposition government with fund for the development? this worry me! as much as i want the opposition to have a strong hold this coming election within penang state because the past years we had a sleeper that ruin everything.... but will it help?

i don't really care about the fuel and bla bla bla.. i can live with that. well, if we could spend a couple hundred on boozes why i want to even make a huge shout about all that. can't afford the fuel, it's too expensive for you? change to a smaller car. no?

the only most important thing in malaysia that needed to be change SHOULD be the NEP, not saying demolish the system but change it to serve it's real purpose. we are over 50 years of independence now. NEP should be altered and serve it's purpose for the helpless and poor regardless of the race, "for malaysian" not only the bumi. the current system have flaws, like Datuk Seri Anwar once said "it should meant to help the bumi community but not by giving 5% off when a bumi buy a condominium that cost a million ringgit" the NEP should be change and give all it's benefits to all Malaysian of any races that need it and not some bumi Datuk or Tan Sri.

based on most ppl that i spoke to, likely the opposition will win much more seat this coming election, but well, if you see clearly... it's basically chinese fighting chinese and most penangite chinese that have dis-satisfaction and against the government still thinking the differ. as we all know the opposition which mainly a party form by the chinese is against the BN chinese party, BN U have their seat secured watching from a secure distance. let's make is this way... just an example:

Penang = company with 100% share
BN Umno with 30% (secure)
BN Gerakan & MCA with 30%
Democratic 20%
People Justice with 10%
P or etc with 10%

BN owns the total of 60% so they are the company director.

If after election.. now the share only moves among BN Gerakan&MCA - Democratic - People Justice

BN Umno with it's secure 30%
BN Gerakan & MCA 15%
Democratic gained 9% = 29%
People Justice gained 6% = 16%
P or etc with 10%

who is the boss? who will be the state next CM? why the announcement after election? if after election they told you that the suppose to be CM Chinese candidate in BN G or MCA already lost? then who takes the place?

this is just a personal view without any proper information's. Happy voting and hoping for a better Malaysia.

26th february, a very important date as it's my baby birthday. but because now that we have our precious Lucas; we can no longer organise a party as we normally do, so we just head on to 32 mansion once again.

even thou no party nor loud music, we loved it! guess it's the sign of getting old or becoming a parent for good. arrived around 7:45pm, lovely... day for me and her like old time; dating like some young couple (we are not really old anyway)..... not much traffic that day, so everything went well.

as usual, i ordered a italian wild mushroom then nz sirloin and she got herself a lobster spag. i had some heinekeen (always the best) and she had a margarita and piña colada. the night ended with a lot of love.

finally, his public appearance since the scandal breakout. quiting the hong kong entertainment industries. no more edison chen only until further notice i'll say. everyone blamed him for almost everything. poor guy.

my opinion, i still don't see any wrong doing on his part others than his own negligent by not carefully handling his trophy collections. people keep saying "bear the responsibility of your own doing". correct!! all the photo took under those sluts knowledge. you can see from the posing of those female actress; they want their photo to be taken. he didn't drug them. so don't blame it all on him. all the star who involve with the photo scandal have to takes the responsibility as well. like an oscar award! you rgive award to the director/actor/actress/cast. not the cinema or dvd distributor only; or worst the public viewer who migh obtain a copy or two right?

the worst in my opinion would be the girl from the whatever "twins". i still remember her innocent (fake) looks and her baby cry from newspaper headline during the candid shot she got while on her performance at Genting Highlands and condemned the worst of Malaysians, and now all her sluttiest cam whore posing. nothing really wrong in having your own naked body photo spread out the internet, the biggest wrong doing is the fucking fake innocent act. to you all stupid fans out there. wake up! you just got "punk ed" by gill.

and lastly by any ?"ordeal"? wtf! as i human being i despise you for your doing, but as a man, i start to worship you. kudos mate!



p/s: edison; i will always remember what you did last year.
