The world is turning now

So now the AIG people say that they want to return some of the bonuses that they recieved. Hmmmm so lets get on with life liao lah....

As for me... life is interesting... Now my baby has returned to an upright position, little idiot turned to head down last week and is now head up again. Its either he or she has too much space and is too active or is jus a plain old irritating brat. No matter.. I will properly discipline it when it comes out... Trust me... I do not want to be one of those super protective parents who spoil their children... The only one who will be spoilt in my house is me... Hehehehehe...

I was already telling my wife that I will be sleeping as much as I can and resting as much as I can when I get to her hometown because I am just so damn tired nowadays.

Anyway... hope the world becomes a better place now... my baby needs a nice world to grow up in man....

I give up

Hehehehe... My wife went for another check up... one of many while you are pregnant and I asked her to get the doctor to see if I had a boy or a girl... Deeeeeeepppp inside me, of course I would like to have a boy because then I can throw balls at him... oooppss I mean throw balls with him.. and teach him how to go after girls... ooppsss I mean be a better person... Girls... till a certain age are fun, then they become no touch areas for dads... After all, though perverted I may be... I am not that perverted mah.... Unless she is damned beautiful, has a great body and loves her daddy... (boy... I am doomed to spend an eternity in hell)

But back to the check up, no matter how the doctor check, and how they tried to look, still could not give a 100% diagnosis... Which makes me wonder if my kid has a problem and or the Japanese doctors really suck...But anyway... the doctors said... "most probably a girl lah" .. Ok lor... girl can look after the next baby lor.... haizzzz... beggars can't be choosers lah... Some more it was so difficult to get the baby in the first place...

But seriously though, I sometimes feel a bit sad to think that my dad is not around to see all this.... There was a big fuss on the forums about euthanasia and so on... No... it is not a new continent or country... It is the "killing" allowing a patient with terminal disease or incurable disease to "go". For me... I have always been proud about my mind... other than my mind.. there is nothing else really useful about my body... So I guess if my mind goes.. it is time for me to go...

But the question is, if the person has left instructions, then it is easier for the care-giver.... If not, then how does the caregiver decide? I have seen some people derided for allowing their aged parents to "go". Because the problem is, it is until we are faced with a situation, we can role play all we like.. ask what if all we like... adopt all the pre-concieved notions we like... but we will have to make the decision when the time comes. I will take the example of my grandfather-in-law... He had cancer and it was advanced by the time he went to the hospital. He was past 70 and my dad-in-law told the doctors to allow the old man to go in peace and painlessly. I have also heard of a fren who's dad-in-law has terminal cancer and he does not want to die... So what can he do? In all, it depends on the person and the caregiver... But I tell you, it is not a decision one can make easily.

As for other topics, as you may well know, AIG is in a world of trouble because it gave the very executives who brought the company down, multi million dollar bonuses and also retainment fees.... And to think about it... what the hell are they doing to demand so much money? Money is never enough for anyone.. but think of all the poor people who have nothing to eat. It brings back to mind the NKF debacle... how a man can have golden taps when the money comes from the man on the street? I am not a communist... I am a humanist... it is different from being socialist... communist or what... I think of the human beings and their feelings...

Well, I do hope that karma will catch up with them and that they will learn that what they have done to all is bad... A lot of times, when you reach a position of power and are one of the elites... be it in a corporate climate... political climate and so on, you will soon forget you are human... You may think of yourself as a god or at least a demi god... why not... in the Chinese culture... there are so many gods and demi gods and dieties and so on... that you have to have the brain the size of an entire encyclpedia to remember who is who and who does what.... I may be a chinese, but thank god I am a Buddhist... or should I say thank buddha...

As for the energizer rabbit... haizzzz.... going to Turkey or Greece or lord knows where and she will be asking for more money again... As her children, we are her walking ATM machines and there is no withdrawal limit... Even if this ATM is sucked dry and has to eat bread for a whole month... I do not think she will really control herself... So sometimes... I feel that death for me is and will be a pleasure....

Anyway... I will not go just yet... wanna wait til at least when my kid is born...

This world is wierd!!??!!

This is a story taken out from the internet.

An E10 met with a GTR, the E10 went into high boost and upon a certain stretch of road, the GTR blasted away and the E10 followed closely behind. They started to weave into lanes that were more open to allow the cars to go faster..... then a mazda 323 filtered in and led all the way..... A Mazda???? Heavily turbo'd? Special modifications? Nope.... just that it had to words "POLICE" written on it.... Well, no matter what make your car is, there are still more powderful cars in this world huh?

Anyway, my sis is now in NZ. I do hope that she takes care of herself and also does not allow Chris to drive too stupidly. Many accidents have happened because of carelessness or the driver not being familiar with the terrain.

As for wierd... imagine... now AIG says that it has to pay millions in bonus to its staff because if not, lawsuits will happen. Well, the question is this... If you pay, does that not allow the senior management to be self satisfied? "Hey... look at all the idiots... we robbed the company blind and now we get our money...." What about the people at Lehman Brothers or other companies that went bust? AIG got the money to help it keep afloat... Not at allow it to give its senior management so much. It was all these people who got us into this deep shit in the first place... So why pay them? Close the damn company down lor... lets see who dies first..

And talking about that... the recession is really biting in. But the big problem is how do we get out of it? Japan tried for so many years... It is still back in square one.... We in Sillypore have such thin margins that we have to dig into our reserves soon.... ??? Hmmmmmm..... how come we do not have any spare?? How come we have to dig into our reserves so soon ah??? But that is for the politician and politician wanna be to duke it out lah... I am a simple man... give me my pay... give me my job and allow me to live and I am happy.

There are some people who are super negative... There was an issue in another forum and there issue became who will fight for their country... And some were complaining that in the end, we are fighting for our gahmen..... Uhhhh.... if I were to fight, it will be to protect my loved ones and those I do not love so much from any tyranny and or foreign forces... It is to protect my new car... my way of life.... We cannot depend on the promise of 1 nation 2 systems like in Hong Kong.... Imagine the suffering we went thru in the war... That is what I would not like to see for my own family... though it may not be a bad thing because some of these really spoilt brats will find out how hard life can be.... hmmmm.... interesting idea... hahahahahah...

But seriously... the world is made up of a lot of different people. And as such, it has to be a compromise of attitudes, cultures and needs... Not just for a few people who run the show... It is not only in political, but also in corporate. The time of the great wahoo who says and people quiver are gone.

Interesting news with a twist

I read on the news today a British guy who wants to sell his wife because she nags too much.... Hmmmmmm.... true hor.. why jus kill the b*tch and dump the body... ??? Might as well make some money and get rid of a headache... But of course it depends on how babilicious your wife looks like. If she looks like Pamela Anderson..(oooohhh Pammy) and just nags... I am sure that many people will willingly pay you for her. Just wear ear plugs when she nags lor.

But if she is fat and ugly and naggy... Brother... you gotta pay me to take her off your hands man.... in which case... you are better off just doing what you initially should have done...

But seriously it brings to question how come we have so many problems when or after we are married?? Did the warning signs not come up when you were dating? Or were you so drugged by love that you did not see it....(which brings to mind the saying... Love is blind)... but seriously though I am one who feels that once married, we must try to stick together through thick and thin. She is the thick one with the every growing waist and you are the thin one with the patience growing thin.... hahahahahahahaha

The other piece of news was that N. Korea will be launching its missile... ahem... I mean rocket for satelite soon... And it may fall into Akita prefecture in Japan. So that sorta caused some panic with the Energizer Rabbit.. (hmmm not bad... her mind still remembers that wifey is from Akita and is working enough to know that wifey will go back.... not baaaaadddd... hey wait.... jus like playing mahjong like dat leh... can bluff leh.... purposely read something that can be a conversation topic and bring it up and make me think she is not crazy or stupid.... well done little rabbit... nearly bluffed the master here.....)But seriously... It does not matter what the crazy Kim throws into the sky... It will be really difficult for the missile or rocket or what to actually come in anywhere near my in-law's place... Even if he lobs a nuke... so what?? Tough luck lor.... Not being cold lah... wori so much oso jus a waste of brain cells like I said before.

Even if wifey is back in her hometown and Kim lobs and nuke and oooppsss... it hit near enough to my in-laws... the first thing I will do is to go and buy 4d.... then after that book a flight to claim my rightful estate....oooppsss... I mean be a bereaved husband and father and collect the glowing remains of my loved ones... hehehehehe...Hmmmmm maybe I can sell the iradiated sand back to uncle Kim too.... save money mah......

But seriously though... life is really to short... So worry so much oso no damn use...

Everyone... Peace and take care ok???

Busy busy busy

Its been a while since I last wrote here... Why?? Because I have been bloody busy... but in this bad economic times, being busy is a good thing.... no???

But I have really been thinking about a lot of things recently... Guess becoming a father soon does that to you. Eg, thinking about the future and so on. And also about family and so on. The result of so much thinking? Seriously a waste of bandwidth and brain cells if you ask me... What will be, will be lah...

But many families have either grown apart or grown closer due to the birth of a child. I do not only mean the couple, but the brothers and sisters of the couple and also even the cousins and so on.

Couple: Now they are even more deeply entrenched in a lifestyle that will either grind them to the core or make them happier. It depends on the family lah... If the father is the cheong cheong type, he will resent being at home... Or if the mother is the "like to go out and play" type, then she will be ground to bits in no time. But in theory... this is only a theory though, the couple will spend more time together, have something that they share together and grow closer together. For me, I suppose it will be a bonding time for me.... hmmmm better play more till end of this year..... Oh ladiesssssss... I am still available till Dec... better hurry hor...

The Immediate family:
A new birth will give families the reason to forget old grudges and to visit their brothers or sisters... Imagine.. you pissed off your brother or sister or the other way around... So you have been avoiding visiting them... Things might have gotten better or the problem solved... but the fact is the cold war though over is still on... if the baby comes... it will give you a reason to go and visit... It will also allow you to spend more time with the brother or sister you grew up with...

But on the other side of the coin.... The way you bring up your child may not be the way your brothers or sisters bring up their children..... And that is where the possibility of conflict will begin... "Oi... this is not the way to bring up your children.!!!"....."Ahhhh shaddup....lah.... you don know wat u tokin lah".... den either a flaming war will start or a cold war will start.... So shit happens lor...

Cousins and friends:
Like the brothers and sisters thing.. it brings family together because it gives people a chance to visit each other more.... Like for me.. I plan to invite my First Aunt to look after my baby....So our cousins and so on will be more in contact... Or at least that is what I hope lah.... But then of course, like any coin, there is a flip side... if the cousin drops your child or says that your child looks stupid.... war will happena and blood will be spilled.... But for me.... call my kid stupid lah... say stupid things about them oso never mind lah.... After all.. sticks and stones babes.... For me... I believe in what I believe... I do not care what others think or say... because they are also free to believe and to say... If you are confident of yourself, then whatever anyone says or does... it will basically not matter.... That is why also I do things because I want to and not because I have to... But then of course.... now... with a kid... I will have to lor..... no choice.... hehehehhehehe

When is enough really enough?

This is a very good question where no one really knows the answer. If you do know, please tell me as I really want to know. The reason, now my sister's ex husband is either out of a job or he is facing difficulties. So he is not giving my mom any more money. In fact, he is not even able to give my sis her alimony.

So we decided to give Little Energizer Rabbit $700 as a whole. Half from me and half from sis. Is this enough? Looking at things from a normal point of view, she has 700 to spend on anything she wants. It is a luxury when you think that some people have only 1.5k salary and they have to use it to pay for food and so on... So in theory, it should be enough.... But after 6 years of having 2plus k each month and 1 plus k each month, my sis asked her if she had any savings and she said she had none.... So where did all the money go?

That is where my pain comes from, it is all wasted. Admittedly she did spend a bit on us all. But then it is mostly money that was wasted away seeing doctors and so on and not taking medicines. So how can I recoup? Is what we give her enough? What happens when she says that it is not enough???

My gentle readers, that is why I said that mental problems are the hardest medical problems to treat. In the end, we spend time, money and effort and it is up to the patient to want to get better. This sickness is such that she will not get any better. She wants to d her teeth, still wants to go to her cancer doctor and so on.... In the end, if she is diagnosed with cancer again, then how? I am not advocating death for her... but perhaps sometimes, an early death will help all those surviving because if she eats through all the money, then we are truly better off dead.
