How we treat the old

bahankelabu says:

I hate people who cut down trees.

I just sometimes want to look at the sky. Sometimes just to see the blue sky. Sometimes to see the odd wisps or the wooly conglomeration. OK, nowadays, I cannot see much, with skyscrapers and nondescript apartments blocking the view, and then now, smog and haze block the view of the buildings.

But if it was blocked by the leaves and branches of trees, then I’m happy.

This guy talks about the plight of trees in KL.Good writing.

Is Religion Good For You?

Dee says:

I haven’t been making heaps of money by going to church. As a matter of fact, I lose a fair bit more due to bus fares and worse, when all I’ve got is a $20 in my pocket for the collection box. I’ve fought off the temptation of putting in a $20 note and take back out $15.

How can religion help make you richer? Freeze! Stop preaching.
Just enjoy the light reading.

Driving Exam Gone Bad

Benjamin Sew says:

Everyone remembers the pain they had to go through to get their driving license. From re-taking their driving exam for the 5th damn time to finally giving up and handing the examiner a RM50 note on their 6th try (promising them that you’ll be driving an automatic for the rest of your life).

A driving license, the rite of passage for every teenager out there.

Highlights from the TMNet Streamyx User Group Meeting

James says:

tmnet

TMNet Streamyx has organised the formation of structured independent user groups to act as a focused voice to push the company in the right direction.

On the surface, it looks like a cheap marketing ploy, and exploiting users to fix customer relations for them, but look at it this way…

A good look at what the recent Streamyx User Group was all about, and conversations with TMNet management.

Panjang Galah

Confirm Cekap says:

So got 2 teams – Cyan team and Magenta team. The Cyan team(#1,2,3,4)’s objective is to get pass the Magenta team(#5,6,7,8) to the end of the badminton court and after that get back where they’ve started(1 Cyan member reach considered win liao).

Magenta team objective pula is to stop the Cyan team from completing their objective(VERY LOGIC RITE?). So as the Cyan team approaches..the Magenta team can touch the Cyan members and if this is successful(touch 1 Cyan member can liao), then Magenta wins.

Blogger E-quan took the trouble to do a mini blog-documentary of that very Malaysian game we all used to play at school.

Graduates Tracer Study System ???

deriku says:

Anxious to know where our local graduates are headed to, the Ministry of Higher Education has made it a must for fresh graduates to fill up a survey form to measure our level of “employability and marketability”.

A display of crappy english by The Ministry of Higher Education – you’d think they’d practise better language skills.

Blog Surfers: Is This Your Pet Peeve?

BP says:

You surf the web. You punch some letters into Technorati. You load and re-load your favourite blog aggregator sites. You see some links that look interesting. You click on one that catches your fancy.

Then the horror.

BP’s simple illustration of what blog surfers these days have to go through in attempts to read a good blog or two out of millions.

Sinocentrism at its worst

Antonia says:

The purpose of this post is to point out an unforgettable (but decidedly daft) opinion from one of the guys, who gushed about historical sites and the extensive Chinese empire of bygone days:

You notice, we were never a “bowing” culture. People bow to show respect and awe for superiors, but only like a servant bowing to his lord. Bowing is for lowly serfs. Ordinary Chinese people don’t bow to each other. I mean, not to every Tom, Dick and Harry they meet. Not like the Japanese or Koreans, who bow to everyone, regardless of status. That kind of mentality has been in practice for so many centuries. I think it began when they were lowly ancient states, in comparison to the Chinese empire. Chinese contributed so much to Japan and Korea, like our language and traditions. Japan even paid tribute to us in the old days. That shows we’re actually a more sophisticated and confident race. We don’t bow every second or grovel at people’s feet but walk and talk with confidence. I’m definitely proud to be Chinese in that sense.

A rant about nationalistic friends who said Chinese is not a bowing culture.
