Fasting period would be over soon..very soon indeed.Time to get some cash..fast cash..The thing about Hari Raya is that everyone will be smiling after the last day of fasting as everyone gets something rewarding(Most of us i hope).The children and also most teenagers get lots of money,woman get to taste other ppl's "kuih-making" skill,comment and 'mengumpat' AGAIN,the men get to have day off,have a bloody hell of a time eating and sleep at home only to be asked to drive or lead the family in visiting relative's houses.Everyone gets to wear something new!The old folks get to see their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren as some only see them during Hari Raya(god!!,kill these kind of ppl) and get closer to death(especially when their families only see them during Hari Raya).When ppl say 'maaf zahir dan batin',do they really mean it?Definitely not.(This is true in most cases).Why wait till Hari Raya and seek forgiveness?Why not do it right after whatever you did that needed u to seek forgiveness.Maybe it's just the ambience.And why do ppl cry when they seek forgiveness and repeat their behaviour that made them want to seek for forgiveness..hmm..."Hari Raya a time to visit relatives?"why can't we visit them on every other normal day?too busy with work,family or just can't be bothered?definitely the last one.Just show their faces to other relatives to show that they're still alive?GOD~!!well..tmr is THE DAY everyone becomes a fake..a fake for a day or two..no one will notice and then wait till next year and show up again.why do u live then?okae that's another story...anyways Selamat Hari Raya to all..!

I think I know why Kurt Cobain killed himself.He definitely visited the BADGER website.Reports also show that the website was the last page he viewed before he killed himself.You guys should check it out(Don't stay too long and switch on ure audio) at BADGER And here's his suicide note:
"To Boddah:
Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.
All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community had proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things.
For example, when we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begin, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun.
Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do, God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.
On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too ****ing sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!
I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.
I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much, I guess.
Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Peace, love, empathy,
Kurt Cobain

Gee...Just few days ago,i read in the newpaper about the sms outrage,and days before that, the cop who got caught receiving oral sex.Hah!Goodness Gracious Got Caught.Well, this shows that while half of Singaporeans are becoming more open,more westernised(like waffa),the rest are still like our parents and grandparents.You see, Singapore is just like Waffa binladin.Young,still growing,trying to be westernised when we're already easternised and cranky.Yes cranky.Damn Singaporeans are cranky.Maybe the girl who perform oral sex on the cop should have been more patient and wait till she's 16 but im not encouraging you girls out there to try it out but just be 'legal' when you try it.You can be westernised but just don't lose your 'easternised'(whatever it means).

Hey u guys heard of Waffa binladin?Click here for her picture.Well,she's an up-coming star..now living in london.AND she's the niece of the most wanted man-Osama bin laden.Waffa is westernised,26,wears miniskirts,tube tops,smokes and drinks.She used to live in New York and is also a lawyer.Her mother, Carmen bin Laden, who lives in Geneva with Waffa's two younger sisters, said: "The Bin Laden family have condemned my daughters because they were brought up in the West and have western ways but I support Waffa's freedom."She has been working on a demo tape and has reportedly been receiving advice from rap artist Wyclef Jean.England's Observer newspaper recently quoted "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell as saying her hopes of success are slim."There's only one worse surname you could have to launch a pop career,"Cowell reportedly said,"and that's Hitler."

Sheeez...Yesterday was the last day of DPM Dr Mahathir Mohamad as DPM.He was a respected man(some might not agree with me here).He started his political career when he joined UMNO organisation at 21.He studied medicine and ran a private medical practice at Kedah,his home state.He became UMNO member of parliament in 1964.In 1969 he was expelled from UMNO but was invited back after he released a book,The Malay Dilemma.He was appointed minister of education.In 1981,he became the prime minister of Malaysia.Dr Mahathir set about putting his ideas into practice, following the example set by Japan, transforming Malaysia from an exporter of rubber and tin into a manufacturer of electronic equipment, steel and cars.Defending Asian and Malaysian values, he criticised what he called Western double standards and won a following among developing countries.His prestige projects to boost national pride included the world's tallest building - the Petronas Towers - and the transformation of a palm oil plantation near the capital into the world's first "Multimedia Super Corridor" - a cyber powerhouse intended to rival California's Silicon Valley.During the process he turned himself into one of Asia's longest-serving leader, and when he retired in October he had been in office for 22 years.One thing which he failed to achieve was his principal task.This is what he said before he step down.."I feel disappointed.Because I have achieved too little in my principal task of making my race a successful race, a race that is respected."
