Both songs are from Malaysia and I really love the songs ever since I heard it from the radio. If anyone knew any links to these songs, please be kind enough and let me know ya. Thanks a lot !!! :)

Pity Us Citizens

Why oh why? When the price of the crude oil went up as far as almost touching the USD150 per barrel, the government increased our petrol price. Soon after that, the price of all goods went up and causing inflation everywhere. Who are to suffer? The government said that they have already paid a lot for our oil subsidy, but with the increase of the petrol price, WE as citizen are the ones paying the price. All the government did was to come out and say they can no longer support such high subsidy and then increase the price of the petrol.
Recently when the price of crude oil went down to USD110+ per barrel, the government decided to reduce our petrol price. It was down a mere 15 cents. What the heck???!!! The price per barrel was reduced about USD30 per barrel and government only reduced RM0.15 per litre for us? They must be thinking that we are all stupid citizens or we never read the news apart from what they announced. Even with this reduced petrol price, the increased price of the goods remains and as usual, our salary still remains the same. We are a oil producer country and yet we get punished with high petrol price? Is this really logical and fair?

Furthermore, for the past weeks, the price of crude oil have been on it's downward trends, and yesterday even hit below USD100 per barrel. Then now the producer from the Arab countries says that they want to limit the output of oil per day in order for the price to stabilize. From their point of view, when the price is USD80+ per barrel, they earned. Then when it's USD145 per barrel, they are damn excited because their profits sky-rocketed. Now it's at USD103+ and they start to complain and wants to control the output. What is going on here? Can't they just pity us a bit? They already earned a lot, why can't they have some sympathy for us? With such a global trend and under such selfish government, end users like us will always be bullied....

Take Notice...Help My Friend

My friend, who is from Johor but working in Singapore has just lost her car somewhere in Johor last Saturday. The car bearing registration number JKH 7539 is a Perodua Viva model. We do not know where is the car now as it might have already been brought to other states, with a different colour or different registration plate now. But if anyone out there that sees JKH 7539 anywhere, please do leave a message here as my friend is really depressed now. Thanks a lot to you all caring folks reading this...

Federer wins his 13th Grand Slam

I tell you what, Roger Federer is one hell of a guy that doesn't gives up. From the moment he lost his world number 1 rank to Rafa Nadal and with all his patchy form throughout 2008, I know for sure that he's gonna come back roaring and silent all the critics. And he did what exactly what he have to in the US Open 2008, the last slam of the year. Fresh from another miss of the Olympics single title, almost everybody has written him off and also talks about him not winning a grand slam title since 2003. Everyone was saying about Nadal capturing his 3rd straight grand slam of the year. But as the tournament grew and after obstacles he had in the 4th round and quarters, this great Swiss is growing with confidence. Such that he proves much more superior against both Djokovic in the semi and then Murray in the final with an impressive 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 win in the final. It was really worth it to wakes up 5am to watch this match...truly highest quality tennis from the great man himself.
Now that Federer got slam no.13 in his bag, for sure he will not stop there as he's looking towards tying Pete Sampras's all time record of 14 grand slam title and even surpass him come future. I seriously believe he will and 2009 will be the year where Federer back to his best to conquer the tennis world and try his best to capture the Rolland Garros title, the only slam that's missing from his collection. I really hope he does. The only man that captures 2 grand slam 5 times in a row (Wimbledon and US) - Roger Federer !!! Bravo Mr Roger...keep it up!

Stupid Avoidable Traffic Jam

What an uneasy start of the day this morning. It was raining and I'm driving to work. I always dislike traffic jam and therefore always go off to work early while many of my friends and colleagues are still soundly asleep comfortably on their bed. Traffic was usual, moving but not fast especially at the place i'm staying - Ayer Itam. With so many schools and traffic lights along the way, there's nothing much we can do about staying here except approach it with the 'use to it' mindset.

As I make my way towards the State mosque traffic light, I noticed there's a jam from far away. When i was near, finally I knew the reason for the jam - the traffic lights was out at all directions at the cross junctions. And as the result of it, the flow was also out. It was completely in a mess and havoc. Everyone was selfishly wouldn't want to give ways to the others; cars from Ayer Itam want to go down to town and to Greenlane, cars from town want to come to Ayer Itam or heading to Scotland Road, while cars from both Greenlane and Scotland Road heading to their own destination. No one wants to give way, and as a result, all were stucked in the middle of the cross sections. Imagine that in the early morning before even reached 7am !!! There were so many empty space for everyone to move and follow the order, but all were simply stubborn with the kiasu attitude.

Feeling enough seeing all this, I made a u-turn in the middle of the cross sections and heading back to Batu Lanchang lane and then went out to Jalan Masjid Negeri and continue my journey. Normally I will reach office around +-5 mins to 7am, but today when I reached, it was already 730am+...I promised my gal not to make myself in bad mood or spoilt my day because of such tiny matters so early in the morning, but yet I can't help feeling frustrated seeing the way these road users behaves...shame on them...

The Final Showdown, the Final Act of the Final Grand Slam of the Year 2008

There you have it...the moment you have all been waiting for after much delay and big names dropping out along the way. After this morning's women's single final where Serena Williams beats Jelena Jankovic 6-4 7-5 for the title en route to become the new world number 1, it's all now down to the final match - men's single final.

The 2nd semi-final was resumed late yesterday (or I should say early morning today) between Andy Murray of Britian versus world number 1 Rafa Nadal of Spain with Murray leading 2 sets to love and trailing 2-3 in the third with Nadal breaking on serve. Nadal eventually won that set to reduced the deficits but Murray ensured that there's not much of a comeback by the King of Clay by claiming the 4th set 6-4 to set up the final showdown against Swiss Roger Federer.
From the post interview that I read from the official website, Murray said that even though he has only less than 24 hours of rest compared to Federer who has 2 days of rest, he will give his 110% in the final. It was his first ever grand slam final appearance. I did watched both men in action during their semi final matches and I must say both are also equally in their top form. It will be an interesting final for sure if both continue their semi-final performances. I want my idol Federer to win his first slam of the year and silent up those critics out there but credits have to given to Murray for going this far.

The final will starts 5pm local time today (supposed to be Sunday US time but everything was delayed and rescheduled due to the rain interrupted semi-final 2), which means 5am in Malaysia Tuesday morning !!! Hopefully I can sleep early tonight and then wakes up to watch the match tomorrow...hahaha...fingers crossed for Federer...

A tired weekend...

Finally, the weekend is over and tomorrow is another new week to begin with. So many things happening for the past 2 days, therefore the weekend seems to be so short. On Saturday, it was raining the whole day, thus cannot do much apart from staying at home and rest. Then at night, have to attend friend's wedding dinner at City Bayview downtown. The dinner finished quite late and by the time I reached home after dropped off my gal, it was already 12+am. Proceed on to watch my idol Federer to beat Djokovic in 4 sets to enter the US open men's single final till about 3am. The next morning 7+am my friend come over to get me, and then we all gathered together at Tesco before heading to mainland to groom's house to be Heng Tais. Reached back at island to bride's house around 10+am, proceed with all the ceremony till past 12+pm. Me and my driver didn't follow them all back to mainland as he need to accompany his wife to checkup at hospital while I was quite sleepy and tired already. So off i go back to home and had some good rest. Luckily in the evening I managed to spend some nice time enjoying the slow relax hike with my gf and then dinner together even though it's not any high class romantic dinner with quality food. I really love spending times with her, just loving it ! That's all about this weekend. Hopefully I can have a good rest tonight and won't fall asleep tomorrow at work during my internal training for the next 3 days...hahaha. I guess I will need more nescafe for sure tomorrow...hehehehe...
