The way to celebrate

The sensible thing to do, a proper perspective of what an individual, royal or common, rich or poor, can do when a BIG day comes along.

Royalties (and we are a royal people) need not show off.

Remember the poor is what Paul urges us to do.

This is the spiritual thing to do.

My heart is warmed.
Thank God for good senses in a time of excesses.

Chastity Belt - Safety Belt?

Friday February 16, 2007 (The Star)

'Chastity belts can thwart rape and incest'

HULU TERENGGANU: Women should wear chastity belts to thwart rape and incest which are rampant nowadays, a well-respected religious figure here suggested.

Datuk Abu Hassan Din Al-Hafiz said chastity belts would protect victims and also help reduce sex crime rate.

More here: http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/newsncom.php?itemid=2523

----end quote---

Does it really help victims by wearing the belt? Rape is more than sex, it is power. Imagine the fury of the rapist when he finds out that after overcoming the victim that he cannot complete the sexual domination! Instead of being a rape victim, she will become a murder victim.

How did our leaders come up with such great ideas? sighhh

Edit: For those who wanna know what is a chastity belt go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chastity_belt

But this do not tell you that arts humanities (like lawyers) are usually top governmental officials. Some are even Prime Ministers. How much do they earn? Think about that.

Thinking aloud allowed?

Yes but it can be costly or even dangerous.

2 of our most famous bloggers are being sued and be forced to watch their expressed thoughts.

I might just want to stop subscribing to that newspaper that is suing. Defamation is personal but does a newspaper have a reputation that can be defamed? Does not make sense to me.

Fruits in season with durians

Rambutans, mangosteen, langsat (not in pic),...... but what is that fruit as big as a mangosteen, taste like langsat in the pic? I dunno, you tell me. I just eat them.

Beaufort Sabah

Beaufort, not UK lah. Stopover town to/fro Lawas. Beaufort Fried noodles worth a try.

Lawas Durians

Round trip of 400 km for durians. Worth the time and money as KK durians (dunno imported from where) cost much much more.

Kueh Chap

Thick kueh teow in herbal pork mixed meat soup. This kueh (as in kueh teow) chap (as in mix pork meat, ie intestines, liver, lung, tongues, egg, toufoo, cartilage, pork belly) is drowned in a dark herbal soup with the aforementioned meat is simply delicious

Finished with sambal cili padi

Chew Yen in Kolombong is one of my daughter's favourite stall, san the sambal and innards. She loves the soup. Father and mother also love it too lah, except for the sons who are conservative in their food intake.

Frolic with Folic

A daily frolic with folic is good for your heart, prevents cancer and Alzheimer's.

Rich dietary sources of folic acid include fortified breakfast cereals, bread, green leafy vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach and green beans, oranges, dried beans, peas and lentils.

Making Sense

In the midst of senseless rhetorics and stupid bravadoes here is a lady that make sense.

She is so brave to speak from within a religion that marginalises her.

Here is a man who is so daring. We need more of these in Malaysia.

Son @ Work

School Holidays.

2nd son worked for extra pocket money. Good for him to appreciate the value of money and the dignity of manual labour.

Boleh or what?

Iron

But some are afraid to be sharpened but hide behind power, lies, shame and blatant greed. Click

This is prophetic for Malaysia.

Stem Cells and China Dogs

2 things caught my eyes today.

Stem cell, the cure for all things? AZ, Parkinson, Diabetes, Heart diseases... all the incurables. What are the consequences of this choice? click

Dogs in China. I thought most Chinese eats them but apparently not so, as some are protesting the one family one dog policy. Why was there no protest during the one child policy? Strange. click

When is it enough?

Shameless greed indeed.

The VIP and The Dead

What is the similarity?

Well both have outriders for their convoy. :D
